When The Ruthless Woman Falls In Love

Various Places

"Yvonne, have you found any info of Ariela's mom?" Zachary asked Yvonne.

Yvonne was looking at the surveillance camera when Zachary called her, "Got a tiny bit only" she replied in an annoyed tone.

"What's the tiny bit?" Zachary probed.

"Just.." Yvonne was too distracted by looking at the surveillance that she can't be bothered by Zachary.

Zachary frowned, 'this woman dares to ignore me!' he thought.

"Is what you are doing now more important than me?" He asked in a sullen tone, though he already knew what she would say but he still decided to asked. Hoping for a different answer, but the chances is slim.

"Yes and I am hanging up" Yvonne said in an indifferent tone before hanging up.

"...." 'she really did hung up on me again, man!' he thought in his mind. Yvonne and Zachary had known each other since small, they are counted as childhood sweetheart or so...

Zachary had always been in love with Yvonne, ever since he was a kid till now. He treasured her, very much. But the latter would always be such acting coy in front of him, but he liked that about her. he did not need Yvonne to like him back, as long as he could be beside her, always by her and protect her.

That was more than enough for him, as long as she was safe. Zachary would always call and asked about how was her day, everyday without stop. Yvonne had already gotten used to it, but sometimes she would not picked up his call as she was busy.

If she did not answer his call, Zachary would keep calling non-stop. Worried that something bad may happened to her, and hence. Yvonne never dares to not picked up, as she was afraid her phone would burst with notifications of missed calls.

Unbeknownst to Yvonne, she had already gotten used to the presence of Zachary. She did not know without him, she would not be able to leave. But sadly she did not realize that yet, guess zachary still had to wait for her a little while more.

Inside the rolls royce phantom,

Ye Xun was driving Gu Chen back to Gu's Mansion in Country Z, the ancestral Gu's manor is located at beijing. But there was one in country Z, most of time the manor would be empty. As Gu Chen's family would be at the ancestral manor.

Gu Chen was resting his eyes as he was too tired, he had been going to meetings and meetings. He was resting when suddenly his phone dinged, saying there was a notification. Awoke by the sound, he opened his eyes.

Gu Chen took out his phone from his pocket and saw that it was a text from J. Gong, he hurriedly opened the message.

J. Gong: [Boss, Young Madame is not back home yet. From where I am looking, it seems that she is in some sort of trouble.]

Upon seeing what J. Gong texted him, he frowned. "Ye Xun go to Qi Manor now!" he hurriedly instructed before replying J. Gong.

Gu Chen: [Call me if you sense she is in danger, I will be heading there now..]

J. Gong: [Roger]

Gu Chen typed a string of number and waited for the call to go through, after a few rings someone answered the call. "Yes, Boss?" the person spoke in a puzzled tone, as it was late and night when he called. It was also rare for Gu Chen to cal him, hence he felt puzzled by it.

"I want to know all the info about the Qi's and also Empire Corp, send it to me by tomorrow." Gu Chen said in a cold tone, he did not bother to check into the Qi's and also Empire Corp that time. But seeing that Qi Ling Hu was connected to Song Yu and also hearing about what happened with her and the Qi's made him even more intrigued to know about the Qi's especially Qi Ling Hu.

Gu Chen also wanted to know about the Empire Corp, as it was a company which has a strong relations with the military and also a rich connection with different people. Even with him using Gu Corp, it may not be able to easily destroy Empire Corp.

"Anything else?" The person which is also Gu Chen's trusted aid, Kang An asked.

"Release the information to the media" Gu Chen said after a long paused, seemingly hesitating.

!!..."Boss, are you sure?!!" Kang An probed, not believing what he had just heard.

"This is the only way." He said in a decisive tone, he knew that by sending the information out to the public. Many things would change and a certain someone may be enraged by it, but he knew there was no other choice.

"Boss, I think now is not the time to send out the information." Kang An tried to stopped Gu Chen.

Gu Chen frowned after hearing what he said, "And why's that?"

"The He's stocks had been dropping, it had dropped about 10%. Their company had been losing close to 500 million. After investigating into it, it was said that was the work of Young Madame. So I was afraid if you were to send out the information, you may mess up her plans." he hurriedly told Gu Chen.

After a long silence, Gu Chen let out a long exhale. "We'll wait and see what she is up to, before sending out the information at the right time." Gu Chen said before hanging up the call.

After he hung up, he frustratedly messaged his temples. Gu Chen felt complicated, he did not like his current self one bit. As he felt that he is slowly losing control of himself because of Song Yu, he is constantly thinking about her well-being.

Gu Chen felt like he was losing himself, he wasn't like that before knowing Song Yu. He knew what is that feeling, but he did not think love would actually changed him this much.

West Estate, Qi Manor.

Song Yu drove to the main entrance of the manor before parking it right infront of the front porch, she got out of the car before closing it behind her. Butler Huang was already waiting for her outside of the manor.

After seeing Song Yu arrived, he quickly walked forward and greeted her politely. "Young Miss, Old Master Qi is in his study waiting for you."

Song Yu nodded her head before going into the manor, she looked at her watch and saw that it was already 9.30. She knew she needed to hurry back home, she went up and to the study. Standing outside of the door she knocked twice before going in.

"Grandfather." She said in a nonchalant tone.

Qi Ling Hu was talking on the phone when Song Yu came in, he hurriedly hung up the call and walk towards the couch. He signaled Song Yu to sit down, "Have you eaten?"

Song Yu sat down before replying, "Not yet, but I am not hungry."

"Butler Huang, bring a cup of milk for Xiao Yue." Qi Ling Hu instructed.

Butler Huang nodded before leaving the room to get a cup of warm milk for Song Yu.

"yAt least drink some warm milk." Qi Ling Hu said in a concerned tone.

"Grandfather, why did you want to see me so urgently today?" Song Yu did not want to waste anymore time with Qi Ling Hu.

Qi Ling Hu gaze turned from gentle before changing to a serious look, "Xiao Yue, I will be sending you to Country A for the time being." he informed.

Song Yu furrowed her pretty eyebrows, she did not know why would Qi Ling Hu want to send her to Country A. "Why are you sending me to Country A?"

Qi Ling Hu knew he could not tell her the real reason, "You have been fooling around with the Gu Boy and the girl from Qiao's. I want to send you to Country A to help me tend to the business there."

Sing Yu decided not to argue with Qi Ling Hu head on, as she knew it would not work. But in fact worsen the situation, "How long do I need to stay in Country A?" she tried to asked, if it was a few days she was fine with it.

"2 years" Qi Ling Hu said in a firmed tone.

"..." 2 years, Song Yu would not want to stay in Country A for a whole two years. She knew she could not as she had her plans, she would be flying to London soon, and once she go there it would be a few years before coming back to Country Z.

She could not possibly tell Qi Ling Hu that she was going to leave for London at the end of the month and would not be coming back until a few years. Song Yu knew if she was to tell Qi Ling Hu, the latter would surely investigate about her going to London.

If that were to happened, she knew the man would find out about her being the boss of Moon Corp. And that was a never, she could never allow Qi Ling Hu to find out about Moon Corp. Hence, she had been keeping it a secret.

Everytime whenever she went to London she would always keep it well hidden, so that no one would know. Even Yvonne, Zachary or Daemon did not know about that. Nobody knew the biggest investor of Z.D.Y Corp was actually Song Yu's own company, Moon Corp.
