When Meng Nianyao called Gu Wencheng, he was communicating with the police. “Hello, Lady Boss, what’s the matter?” Ping Yang answered the call.

Meng Nianyao stood in the cold wind, her eyes red. “Tell him that I’m not feeling well and ask the driver to send me back first.”

“Go back?” Ping Yang was stunned for a moment. He knew that Old Madam Gu had arranged for Meng Nianyao to attend the annual party tonight and wanted to introduce her to everyone. Now that she had suddenly returned…

“Yes.” The chauffeur drove over. Meng Nianyao opened the car door and got in.” My stomach hurts, so I’ll go back first.” Don’t worry, tell Gu Wencheng that I’m fine.” After saying that, Meng Nianyao hung up.

The driver looked at Meng Nianyao’s pale face through the rearview mirror.” Madam, do you need me to take you to the hospital first?” he asked.

Meng Nianyao felt tired, physically and mentally exhausted. She waved her hand and said no. The chauffeur started the car and returned to the old mansion.

In the hotel.

Gu Wencheng and Ping Yang sent the police away before taking the elevator back to the presidential suite. “Boss, the lady boss called to say that she wasn’t feeling well. She asked the driver to send her back first.” Ping Yang pressed the elevator button.

Gu Wencheng’s face was already dark, and it darkened even more when he heard this. Ping Yang knew that she was negligent. She lowered her head and apologized.

Gu Wencheng didn’t respond. He looked down at his watch and saw that it was already 7:30 p. m. The annual meeting started at 8:00 sharp.

Gu Wencheng took out his phone and called Meng Nianyao. The phone rang for a long time before Meng Nianyao picked up.

“Where? Where do you feel unwell?” Meng Nianyao looked up. She was surrounded by people shopping at the supermarket. She walked to an empty corner. “I’m at the pharmacy. My stomach doesn’t feel well.”

Gu Wencheng frowned.” I’ll ask Su Han to see you.”

“No need. I’m just a little unwell,” Meng Nianyao refused. “I’ll go home and rest first. You should attend the annual party well. Don’t worry about me. I’m hanging up now.”

Gu Wencheng listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone and couldn’t help but feel that something was wrong. When he wanted to call again, someone came to him.

Meng Nianyao hung up the phone and took a deep breath. She didn’t buy anything and went straight back to the old mansion after leaving the supermarket. When they arrived at the old mansion, Auntie Yang saw her return and thought that something had happened. Why are you back?”

“I feel a little unwell.” Meng Nianyao smiled weakly and didn’t look too good.

Auntie Yang was a little worried.” Auntie Yang,” Meng Nianyao said,” I’m going upstairs to rest.”

“Have you eaten dinner yet?” Auntie Yang quickly nodded. Did you catch a cold? Shall 1 get you some brown sugar ginger tea?”

Meng Nianyao nodded. When she returned to her bedroom, she felt as if she had lost all her strength. She leaned against the door and rested for a while before going to the bathroom.

In the bathroom mirror, Meng Nianyao was still like a delicate flower a few hours ago. Her eyes were delicate and her temperament was gentle, but now…Meng Nianyao squatted down, tears flowing out of her eyes. It was not until Auntie Yang came knocking on the door that she came back to her senses.

“Aunty Yang, there’s no need. I’m going to bed,” Meng Nianyao said in a low voice.” You should rest early too.”

Meng Nianyao maintained her half-squatting position for a while before getting up to take a shower. After taking a shower, she lifted the blanket and lay on the bed, forcing herself to close her eyes.

The Gu Corporation’s annual meeting began at eight o’clock. After the host warmed up the venue, the company’s leaders began to speak. They went from department to department and it took Gu Wencheng exactly half an hour. Gu Wencheng never spoke much and left the stage after a few simple words.

Gu Guanping and Lin Ping had also arrived. Due to his occupation, Gu Guanping did not go to the hall to socialize with others, but Lin Ping appeared outside in his stead. The Yin family also appeared as family friends. Yin Qiqi worked in the Gu Corporation, so no one knew about her family background. When Lin Ping saw her, she called out to her, but when her colleagues saw her, they immediately exploded. Yin Qiqi was embarrassed by her colleagues’ compliments. Mother Yin called her over, so she hurried over.

Yin Qiqi patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief as she walked out of the crowd of colleagues. She went and stood with Mother Yin and Lin Ping.

Lin Ping did not spend much time in the country, but she still had an impression of Yin Qiqi. She could not help but sigh at the changes in women. Yin Qiqi looked very sweet, and because of her upbringing, she was especially good at talking. She looked at Lin Ping and greeted her intimately. “Aunt Lin..”
