After the divorce, the CEO forced me to have his child.

Chapter 557 Confused

At noon, Gu Zhiyao took some time to go back to the company because she had arranged to sign a contract with President Cheng today.

She wasn't stupid, and she could naturally see that President Cheng changed his mind and immediately decided to cooperate because of He Yi. So when she returned to the company, she told Lin Houze the truth.

Lin Houze was also surprised and delighted, "If He Yi comes forward, we really won't be able to finish all our business in the future!"

Gu Zhiyao smiled awkwardly.

Lin Houze continued, "Hehe, I was just joking, don't take it to heart. Actually, based on our current orders, we're already making a lot of money. Anyway, there's no end to making money, let's take it slow. In any case, if we can land this big cash cow, Mr. Cheng, the company's shareholders will be laughing all the way to the bank. By the way, let's have a company dinner tonight to celebrate."

“What you said is actually right. Since we have connections, we should naturally make good use of them. I will talk to He Yi about it,” Gu Zhiyao said.

"Uh, Zhiyao..."

"It's alright, I'll handle it."

Looking at her delighted expression, Lin Houze thought that she seemed to be giving He Yi a chance. It seemed that she had really opened her heart? Well, that's good. Since he didn't have a chance, it was good for He Yi to be with her.

Thinking of this, Lin Houze didn't say much. A little later, President Cheng arrived as scheduled, and the contract was signed and everything was settled in just one hour.

“Ms. Gu, it’s a pleasure doing business with you. Mr. He just called me and said that he had some urgent business at the company today and couldn’t make it. He asked me to meet you next Monday so I can celebrate with you then.”

"Thank you, Mr. Cheng, that's very kind of you. Our company is having a dinner party tonight, would you like to join us?"

"Really? Maybe next time. I'm planning to take my daughter to a concert tonight."

"Okay, next time then."

“We’ve reached a cooperation agreement, and there’s plenty of time for us to meet in the future. Mr. Cheng, I’ll discuss it with the shareholders and formally invite you to dinner to thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you,” Lin Houze added politely.

"No problem, no problem, it's all thanks to Miss Gu."

“Yes, Zhiyao is very good, which is why I couldn’t wait to call her over to partner with me,” Lin Houze said smoothly.

Gu Zhiyao felt a little embarrassed as they took turns praising her. Fortunately, President Cheng left soon after, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Aren't you used to this kind of flattery? When you and He Yi are really together in the future and you become Mrs. He, there will be even more people trying to curry favor with you," Lin Houze joked.

Gu Zhiyao was taken aback, and Lin Houze also put away his playful attitude and said seriously, "Zhiyao, since you have made a decision, then go for it. I feel great about it."

"Yes, thank you, Houze."

"You're welcome."

That evening, everyone had dinner together. Xiaoyu also happened to be back from her business trip. When she learned that Gu Zhiyao had secured a big contract from President Cheng, she couldn't hide her admiration in her eyes. "Sister, you're so amazing! You managed to secure such a big client so quickly."

Gu Zhiyao smiled and said, "He only agreed so readily because of He Yi."

Xiaoyu's expression froze slightly, and her eyes began to wander.

Gu Zhiyao stared at her and asked, "Xiaoyu? What's wrong?"

Xiaoyu stared at her intently, and finally asked, "Sister, do you still remember Zhuang Yi?"

"Zhuang Yi, are you referring to that top lawyer who works specifically for He Yi?"

"It's him! He's been popping up in my life a lot lately. The other day he even told me he wanted to pursue me and wanted me to be his...girlfriend!"

Zhuang Yi chases after Xiao Yu!

Gu Zhiyao was also surprised and taken aback.

"Xiaoyu, are you sure? He personally told you that he wants you to be his girlfriend?"

"Your sister also finds it hard to believe, right? After all, someone like me was raped..."

“Uh, no, Xiaoyu, that’s not what I meant… I was genuinely surprised. I didn’t expect it to be because of Zhuang Yi himself. It has nothing to do with you. Although Zhuang Yi has some unscrupulous methods, he is undeniably a very capable person, a well-known figure in the industry. Moreover, he is actually a second-generation rich kid. Although his family’s background isn’t as prominent as the He family’s, it’s still quite impressive. People like him are usually arranged marriages by their families. He’s not young anymore, and I’m worried that you might be manipulated by him.” Gu Zhiyao paused as she spoke.

Continuing, "As for what you mentioned, Xiaoyu, everyone has a past. You were the victim, and you don't need to dwell on it. Wen Shiren has been brought to justice, and that matter is completely over. So you should let it go and not let it affect your future, understand? You're a girl, you should enjoy love, don't close yourself off because of this. As for Zhuang Yi, I'll talk to He Yi about it later. If he's sure he's sincere, you can give it a try. But Xiaoyu, how do you feel about him? Do you want to try it with him?"

Xiaoyu's initially low mood instantly calmed down. Her eyes were filled with confusion as she said, "I don't know, sister. He used to target me like that in court. I hated him and was even afraid of him. But later, he appeared in my life again and again. He even helped me a lot. I gradually realized that he was a good person. And as you just said, his expertise in this area is unmatched."

"So you admire him? Hmm, it's okay, that's normal." Gu Zhiyao looked at Xiaoyu, who had grown into a beautiful young woman, and suddenly couldn't remember what Xiaoyu was like when she first met her. She only remembered that Xiaoyu was like a hedgehog, very world-weary and very thin.

But now, Xiaoyu has become a very intellectual and beautiful woman, exuding a charm that makes people unable to resist getting close to her. No wonder Zhuang Yi was attracted to her!

Yes, such a beautiful drizzle deserves a beautiful love and marriage.

Gu Zhiyao then continued to comfort Xiaoyu, repeatedly telling her that she would find out what was going on with He Yi. That evening, when she returned home, she went to see He Yi.

He Yi also had a social engagement tonight and got home later than Gu Zhiyao. When he saw Gu Zhiyao sitting in the living room, seemingly waiting for him, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Gu Zhiyao avoided his burning gaze and said directly, "There's something I want to ask you. Are you free now? Or would you like to change your clothes first? I'll wait for you."

"No need, you go first." He Yi sat down next to her and continued to look at her affectionately.

Gu Zhiyao turned her face away and said resolutely, "I want to know some things about Zhuang Yi, such as how he treats relationships, how many girlfriends he has had, when his most recent relationship ended, and whether he needs to follow his family's arrangements for an arranged marriage."
