They Said I’m Mr. Gu’s Scandalous Affair-Chapter 13

Gu Wencheng Had a Car Accident

As the door closed behind her, Meng Nianyao’s body trembled.

On the other side, after Gu Wencheng exited the elevator, the icy demeanor on his face vanished like magic. He wasn’t one to display his emotions openly. He had merely wanted to test Meng Nianyao. She had mentioned divorce so casually. Had she concealed her intentions too well, or had he been suspecting the wrong person?

Ping Yang had been waiting downstairs. Upon spotting Gu Wencheng’s exit, she swiftly opened the car door.

As the car left the neighborhood, Gu Wencheng closed his eyes for a moment of reprieve. Ping Yang handed him an envelope. “Boss, you asked me to investigate the relationship between Miss Meng and Director Liu. Three months ago, Ms. Meng took on the renovation design for Director Liu’s current residence. During the renovation, the two of them had more than ten interactions.”

The envelope contained photographs of Meng Nianyao and Director Liu during their interactions. There were pictures of Meng Nianyao visiting Director Liu’s house, as well as images of her conversing with Director Liu in a cafe. Gu Wencheng examined each one. However, before he could comment, the driver, who had remained silent, interjected, “President Gu, there’s a car following us.” As he spoke, he accelerated.

Gu Wencheng glanced behind and saw a black SUV closely tailing them in the night. Ping Yang was in the front passenger seat, making a phone call. The driver skillfully evaded the pursuing vehicle. Suddenly, at a corner, three black SUVs approached them. The driver attempted to brake, but it was too late. The car lost control and collided with one of them with a loud crash.

After Gu Wencheng left, Meng Nianyao stood still for a moment before proceeding to the guest room to pack her belongings. She could marry a stranger, but she couldn’t engage intimately with one. She hadn’t spent much time in this apartment, so she didn’t have many possessions to gather. She quickly organized them.

Meng Nianyao placed the printed divorce agreement on the living room table. She also left the key and access card given by Ping Yang and headed to the door, clutching her belongings.

At that moment, Meng Nianyao’s phone rang. Seeing that it was Ping Yang, she hesitated to pick it up but ultimately answered it. “Assistant Ping Yang, I…”

“Lady Boss, Boss has been in a car accident and is now in the hospital. Please come over.” Meng Nianyao was interrupted by Ping Yang.

Meng Nianyao was stunned. The person who had just stormed out and slammed the door had suddenly gotten into a car accident? But… Meng Nianyao spoke, “If your boss had an accident, there’s nothing I can do by going there. The doctors will take care of him. Also, please don’t call me Lady Boss or contact me again.” She hung up after saying that.

Ping Yang was bewildered. What did Meng Nianyao mean? At that moment, the doctor approached with a stack of documents that needed signatures. Ping Yang quickly thought on her feet. “Okay, Madam, but the boss needs surgery urgently. The doctor requires a family member’s signature.”

Meng Nianyao hesitated upon hearing the word ‘surgery.’

Ping Yang continued, “Boss’s parents aren’t in City B, and his grandparents are quite elderly. I didn’t want to disturb them at this late hour. I was afraid they would worry and experience health issues. Madam, please come to the hospital. Boss needs you now…”

Ping Yang’s words were earnest, and Meng Nianyao felt a pang of uncertainty. Coincidentally, the doctor on the line urged, “Where are the patient’s family members? They need to sign the consent forms. If this continues, the patient’s leg might be permanently damaged!”

Meng Nianyao took a deep breath, finding herself unable to ignore the situation. “Give me the hospital’s address,” she told Ping Yang.

Ping Yang glanced at the doctor, who was cooperating, and quickly provided Meng Nianyao with the hospital’s address.

Meng Nianyao left her belongings at the door, picked up her keys and access card, and hailed a taxi to the hospital.

The hospital was bustling with activity, even at this hour. As Meng Nianyao passed by the emergency room, she caught sight of an accident victim, bloodied and on a hospital bed. Shocked, she quickened her pace and dialed Ping Yang’s number.

Soon, Meng Nianyao arrived outside the operating room. She was unsure of the severity of Gu Wencheng’s injuries. After signing the consent form, she gazed at the light above the operating room and inquired with concern, “Is Gu Wencheng going to be okay?”

“I don’t have that information yet,” Ping Yang replied, shaking her head.

Inside the operating room, Gu Wencheng lay on the bed with his eyes closed. The chief surgeon, who was also Gu Wencheng’s close friend, Su Han, inspected Gu Wencheng’s injured leg. He teased, “I never thought you’d resort to such a devious plan to test that young lady.”
