Chapter 47: Unspoken Truths

Ye Wenshu sat quietly in her hotel room, her thoughts tangled like loose thread. Her fingers were clenched, the quiet hum of the air conditioning the only sound in the room. She was still reeling from the scene downstairs—Fu Ming, Su Ting, even Jiang Yue were there. Their presence wasn’t just coincidence.

At first, she'd assumed Gu Fenyi’s banquet was nothing more than a glorified social mixer. An ambitious stunt using the family name during Ye Wen’s absence. But now…

Su Ting, the man who followed orders with military precision, wouldn’t get involved in something meaningless. And Fu Ming? He never attended for sentiment. Gu Fenyi must have pulled off something far more significant than she had imagined.

Downstairs, Gu Fenyi turned to Secretary Su and asked, “What time is it?”

Su paused. No one usually asked him such simple things. “Eight forty-one, Madam.”

“It’s almost time,” Gu Fenyi said with a thoughtful hum.
