Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Sleeping with the Devil (5)

But Uncle Chen said that Mrs. Cheng’s current health condition requires serious rest and she must not be subjected to any more stress.

At this time, how could she possibly tell her that she and Gu Ningyi had completely fallen out?

Dong Xin Yan couldn’t help but lower her eyelids, hiding all the guilt in her eyes. She pressed her red lips together forcefully, finally holding Mrs. Cheng’s hand and saying firmly and seriously, one word at a time, "Soon, he will be out soon."

After pausing for a moment, she added, "Auntie, believe me, I won’t let anything happen to Ziyang."

"Fine... fine."

Having received a reassuring answer, Mrs. Cheng contentedly closed her eyes and fell back asleep. Dong Xin Yan sat by the bedside for a while, waiting until Mrs. Cheng’s breathing was calm and even. She watched her peaceful, sleeping face for a while before quietly getting up, walking out of the ward, and gently closing the door.

By the time she left the hospital, it was already getting late. The night was heavy, like a massive mountain, pressing down on Dong Xin Yan’s heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

Even though she vowed sincerely in front of Mrs. Cheng that she wouldn’t let anything happen to Ziyang and that Ziyang would soon be free, she really didn’t feel confident...

Every time she angered Gu Ningyi, it never ended well.

Just like back in college, when she heard Gu Ningyi, with that superior attitude, using harsh words to criticize and disparage Ziyang. She was furious, unable to tolerate it any longer, and ended up throwing a textbook hard at his face.

She can still remember his expression at that time, dark as ink, his cold eyes as if they could shoot little daggers, stabbing her fiercely one after another.

Since then, Gu Ningyi had constantly been making trouble for her, making those days even more tumultuous than in middle or high school.

Secretary Lin faintly felt that her Boss had been very irritable these days. Although he appeared the same as usual, with that same aloof demeanor, she counted on her fingers. In the past few days, the Boss had made several managers cry, rejected several projects, and even during a routine meeting, over an extremely small and negligible mistake, overturned all the plans and set a deadline for them to redo them, nearly driving those involved crazy.

Secretary Lin had been by the Boss’s side for several years now. Though she still couldn’t fully understand this Boss’s thoughts, she was quite familiar with his conduct and had never seen him like this before. What was going on?

When a man is irritable, it’s either because of work or emotions. But recently the company had been developing extremely well, just having signed a deal worth hundreds of billions and going strong, so there were absolutely no issues on the work front. Could it be emotions?

But that didn’t make sense. Miss Zhou and the Boss’s relationship had always been quite stable and harmonious, and no emotional crises had been reported between them. Just a few days ago, Miss Zhou even called her, asking her to keep a good eye on the Boss and take care of him properly.

If it wasn’t either of them, then what was the reason?

As Secretary Lin was racking her brain, unable to figure it out, the extension phone rang.

Secretary Lin quickly pulled herself out of her wild thoughts, composed her expression, cleared her throat softly, then reached out and picked up the phone, and greeted with a hello.

It was a call from the front desk downstairs, informing her that a Miss Dong wanted to see Mr. Gu.
