CHAPTER 612: CHAPTER 601: THE DIVINE DOCTOR FATHER-IN-LAW OF THE PRESTIGIOUS FAMILY’S DAUGHTER-IN-LAW

"President Gu, Mr. Ye, good evening!" the receptionist on the first floor stammered.

The subordinates who had just finished work and had not yet left the building were also staring agape at Gu Mingting and Ye Chan, then looked at each other in disbelief. Were they seeing things? Was Mr. Ye’s hand really linked at President Gu’s wrist?

Wasn’t it said that President Gu was a germaphobe, that he didn’t like women? Haven’t all seen that President Gu has run the company for so many years without a female companion by his side? What’s the situation now?

Everyone looked at Gu Mingting and Ye Chan, then at Li Chengyu standing at the door, all feeling an odd atmosphere, especially the male colleague who had just been encouraging Li Chengyu. He quietly moved away a bit, silently praying that President Gu hadn’t seen that previous scene of him helping an outsider compete with his own boss for a woman. That’d be courting death! The Gu Group had such good benefits, he didn’t want to leave!

"Have you decided on a place? Where shall we go for dinner?" Ye Chan chatted and laughed with Gu Mingting, looking very composed.

A rare trace of warmth appeared on Gu Mingting’s face: "Do you have any good places to recommend? I heard from Mingmei that you’re quite the foodie."

"Then I’ll decide. I’ll take you out for fish today."

"All right." Gu Mingting wasn’t picky, anything would do.

Their atmosphere was all warmth, but across from them, Li Chengyu’s eyes were bloodshot, his hand clutching the flowers showed popping veins, and he looked at Ye Chan with eyes that spoke of betrayal.

"Won’t you give me an explanation?" Just as the two reached the car driven by the chauffeur, Li Chengyu blocked their path, staring intently at Ye Chan.

Ye Chan didn’t speak, only gently furrowing her brow, Gu Mingting reached out to shield her behind him, then with a fully assertive aura said to Li Chengyu: "Mr. Li, I have successfully proposed today. Ye Chan is now my fiancée, so I would appreciate if you keep your distance from her in the future."

"Wow!" The colleagues who heard this whispered in awe, especially the female colleagues, all looking at him with starry eyes, thinking their boss was so handsome at this moment.

What’s with those men’s gazes? How good is Li Chengyu? Compared to their President Gu, it’s like heaven and earth, aren’t they? Paired with Mr. Ye, it’s a match of talent and beauty. No, to be precise, both are talented and attractive. Standing together, they’re simply too pleasing to the eyes. In contrast, Li Chengyu, looking twisted on the other side, appeared somewhat unsightly.

"Fiancée?" The word ’fiancée’ squeezed through Li Chengyu’s clenched teeth.

Gu Mingting nodded, then said very dominantly: "That’s correct, I overlooked Mr. Li’s disturbance before because I hadn’t yet successfully proposed, but now Ye Chan belongs to me, so please, Mr. Li, refrain from any inappropriate behavior in the future."

Ye Chan found Gu Mingting’s deliberately protective words both amusing and touching, and couldn’t help but feel moved, despite knowing it was all part of their temporary contract. It must be said, President Gu’s face was indeed scoring points, very moving.

"I don’t believe it." Li Chengyu seemed to have realized something suddenly, pointing at their hands, he said, "You say you’ve successfully proposed, where’s the ring?"

"Oh, the ring was too small; I plan to custom-make a new one," Gu Mingting lied expressionlessly, but aside from Ye Chan, no one on the scene believed it was a falsehood.

How could someone of President Gu’s Immortal Energy possibly lie? So the ring really was too small? Well, that’s understandable. President Gu and Mr. Ye haven’t been together long; it’s normal not to know her ring size.

"You agreed? Ye Chan, you agreed to his proposal?" Li Chengyu looked at her splittingly.

After avoiding him for so long, Ye Chan finally looked into his eyes for the first time in days and said, "That’s right, I agreed."

Li Chengyu seemed unwilling to accept the outcome, hate flashing in his eyes: "Why? Why won’t you agree to come back to me after I’ve chased you so ardently, yet you agree to someone else? Your heart is truly ruthless."

"Li Chengyu, you need to understand, we have no relationship anymore," Ye Chan responded very calmly.

"No relationship? Yes, we are already divorced, but I thought we were in love. I thought I could win you back, but I didn’t expect you to climb up the social ladder so quickly." His voice grew more animated as he spoke, resentfully looking at the two, "It makes sense now why you were so adamant about the divorce; you were already colluding with someone else."

"Li Chengyu, watch your language, I could sue you for slander," Gu Mingting also turned cold.

"Slander?" Li Chengyu laughed sarcastically, "If not for an arrangement between you two, how could she become the general manager of Gu Pharmaceutical?"

"She has the ability, of course, she can be the general manager," Gu Mingting retorted sternly.

"It’s your ’exceptional service’ abilities, isn’t it!" Li Chengyu made another inappropriate comment.

The surrounding colleagues gasped, wishing they could vanish on the spot. After hearing the gossip about their leaders, would they even survive until tomorrow?

"Li Chengyu, just because you’re lecherous doesn’t mean everyone else is like you," Ye Chan rebuked him sharply, "You’re well aware of the reasons for our divorce. What, do I need to spell it out again? Infidelity, illegitimate child, weren’t these your doings?"

"I—I’ve already sent Su Qin away from Jiang Province, and I made her abort the child," Li Chengyu defended himself.

"So, you think you can pretend none of that ever happened? Besides, you’ve wronged me, and you also wronged your mistress Su Qin. Weren’t you the one who told her to have an abortion when she was over five months pregnant? The child was already formed. Do you have any idea how much harm another abortion could do to a woman?"

As Ye Chan questioned him, the employees of Gu Group present turned their strange gazes upon Li Chengyu, even the male colleagues who had been supportive of him were regretting their meddling.

Who would have thought there would be such a huge scandal inside.

"I got rid of her and the child for your sake, didn’t I?" Li Chengyu claimed he didn’t want to take the blame.

"For my sake?" Ye Chan sneered, "I said during our divorce that it’s over between us, and that we will never get back together. Yet, you still sent Su Qin away. Li Chengyu, we all know who you did this for."

She paused before adding, "After three months of our divorce, you hadn’t made a move, but as soon as my father received the medical award, you showed up. Who would believe it’s not for my father’s medicinal recipes?"

Upon Ye Chan mentioning this, everyone gradually understood.

Oh... So it’s for the recipes! That explains it.

The company has been urgently producing those pills and ointments lately; the planning department, marketing department, and others are working overtime every day just to make these new drugs a big hit.

And those inside the company also know how miraculous those recipes are, so their gazes towards Li Chengyu were filled with even more contempt.

So they say, where in this world is there true affection? In the end, it’s all just for personal gain!
