Stepford Wives Don't Go to Court

An Zhike fell ill and lay in bed all day and night.

Gu Mocheng stayed with an Zhike all night. The next day, for work reasons, she left before she woke up.

When an Zhike opened his eyes, he found that he had returned to his room.

The sun outside the window was bright and dazzling on her face.

She only felt pain all over her body, especially in her hands, with bursts of tingling.

When she raised her hand, she found that there was a band aid on it, which was obviously dripping.

"What's the matter with me?" she reached out and cut her hair, and her throat was particularly hoarse because she didn't speak for a long time.

An Zhike got up slowly with his lazy body, took the cup beside him and wanted to go to the living room to have some hot water.

At this time, the nanny in the living room heard something and hurried over.

"Oh, you finally wake up?"

"What's the matter with me? And, are you..."

"Miss fainted because of fatigue. I was invited by Mr. Gu to take care of you. I'm sorry. I was busy cooking and didn't hear you wake up."

Seeing an Zhike holding a water cup in his hand, the man hurried over and said, "drink water. I've just made hot water. I'll bring it to you."

An Zhi was a little stunned, but he probably understood the causes and consequences and hurried to the guest's airway: "it's okay, aunt, I'll come by myself."

"Oh, don't be polite to me. My duty is to take care of you. Sit down and eat nothing all day and night. You must be hungry."

At the repeated request of the nanny aunt, an Zhike sat at the table, holding a cup of hot water in his hand, waiting blankly.

Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, dishes with all colors were brought up. Ann knew she was salivating with hunger.

"Ah, what are you doing? Look, eat quickly."

"Aunt, I'll wait for you to eat."

"No, no, no, what are you waiting for me to do? Eat quickly. Aunt will bring you rice."

Also at the repeated request of an Zhike, the nanny aunt also sat down.

An Zhike hasn't had a good meal at home for a long time. She usually works overtime or orders a takeout. Although the food cooked by her aunt is light, it is very delicious, which makes an Zhike almost cry for a moment.

Looking at an Zhike sad, my aunt was even more restless. She explained, "wait two days. After two days, you'll be well. Tell your aunt what you want to eat. Not now. You can only eat some light vegetables, but there's chicken soup. Come and have a bowl."

"Aunt, thank you. It's delicious. I'm fine. I'm just a little homesick."

Aunt was also a little sad to hear this. She sighed and got up to serve an Zhike soup.

After dinner, an Zhike strongly asked his aunt to go back to the room and lie down to rest.

As soon as she went to bed, she heard the doorbell ring. When she stood up, K had approached the bedroom.

Looking at the big and small bags in K's hand, she felt funny: "what are you doing?"

K heard some ridicule from her tone and said angrily, "what are you talking about? Our propaganda team leader is tired and lying down. I'm not going to come and see."

"Oh, I'm fine. I'm not so delicate."

K put down his things, glanced at an Zhike and said, "come on, I don't know you yet. A. m is a great work maniac and almost never asks for leave. But what's the matter with you recently? Sometimes I'm always absent-minded when I see you in meetings."

An Zhi can see that it's K. he's not polite and sits directly back in bed.

"Hey, although I haven't known you as long as you have known Gu Mocheng, if I ask you, you will tell me the truth, won't you?"

K heard the seriousness in an Zhike's tone and said with some doubts: "I know a little about you and Gu Mo City, but what do you want to ask me? I don't know much about his private affairs."

"Haven't you always been good friends with him?"

"Well, it's true. He and I were alumni of the same school when we were in college. We've known each other since we were in college. But you know the man in Acheng. If he doesn't want to talk, no one can know what's in his heart."

An Zhike listened to K's words and bowed his head for a long time.

"K, do you think Gu Mo City likes me?"

Under an Zhike's burning eyes, K was at a loss: "I... what do you want me to say? I think Acheng is very good to you."

"But why did he do that? Why should he be kind to me and take me to her mother to marry me." an Zhike reached out and scratched his hair, like talking to K or talking to himself.

K had no intention of meddling in their affairs, but he didn't know how to answer under an Zhike's pressing questions.

"Xiao Ke... You, you'd better not ask me..."

K has always said what he said, but now he falters.

An Zhike vaguely knows the answer in her heart, but she can't express it in words. She looks at K in confusion, and her big eyes are full of confusion.

K has never seen an Zhike show such an expression. In his heart, an Zhike is always the little girl with clear goal, strong action, lively and energetic. He can't help but feel sorry.

"Xiao Ke, in fact, ah Cheng still cares about you. He is very distressed when you fall ill. You don't know about the press conference."

"Hmm? What happened to the press conference?"

Sure enough, as K expected, an Zhike was in a coma for a day and a night. He certainly didn't know what happened to the company.

She is now very frustrated. K really can't bear to see her like this, so she has to find a way to turn off the topic.

"It's about the venue that Xiao Zhang was responsible for before."

"What happened to the venue? Didn't I talk to him?" an Zhike expressed impatience in his tone.

She really can't understand what these people think.

She can understand that she wants to earn more extra money with kickbacks. Usually, she just turns a blind eye to this kind of thing.

But I warned him last time. This press conference is very important. The change of venue is also temporary. I hope he can pay attention to it.

But I didn't expect him to be so incoherent.

"Don't be angry. In fact, it's not all Xiao Zhang's fault this time. Before, he made a lot of noise because he wanted to change the venue privately with kickbacks. The whole company knows. However, it seems that a Cheng deliberately targeted him this time. He did something wrong. When the venue was arranged, the company stipulated that the person in charge of the venue should stay at the venue for construction at least six hours a day. It seems that he slipped away early."

"Oh, that's normal. Employees are lazy occasionally. Is there nothing wrong with the venue?"

"Nothing happened, but ah Cheng knew about it somehow. Ah Cheng dismissed him and asked someone to record his previous bribery of kickbacks in his file. In addition, he was not well liked in the company and did not rely on. No one was willing to come out to intercede for him, so he has been dismissed."

"Oh..." an Zhike said carefully before looking at K. he thought something big had happened. He knew that there was no accident at the press conference, and a big stone fell in his heart.

"His mind is too greedy, but his efficiency is not very strong. Just quit."

"Xiao Ke, a Cheng said at the meeting that there was another thing about dismissing him."

"What?"

"Because you are ill and the publicity department is understaffed, the press conference is postponed for three weeks."

"What? Why?"

"I, I don't know what he thinks, but you can take advantage of the postponement of the press conference."

An Zhike slumped back to bed, as if a storm had set off in his heart.

Gu Mocheng chose to take this step after all. He refused in disguise.

K naturally doesn't know, but Ann knows it clearly in her heart.

How important is this press conference for Gu Mo City? How could he postpone it for no reason? But now, he has to postpone the product release at the risk of losing hundreds of billions.

Not because of Ji Yin's words, because Ji Yin asked them to announce their engagement at the press conference.

An Zhike held his forehead with both hands, and the whole person curled up together.

Gu Mocheng, why, why don't you like me? I don't want to disagree. What else should I say to give me happiness.

Do you regret it? In fact, I don't want you to be responsible. What I ask is nothing more than a heart.

K didn't expect an Zhike to feel worse after hearing the news, leading to sobbing.

Ann Zhike looks distressed and helpless in K's eyes. She really doesn't know how to persuade her.

He thought telling her about the postponement of the press conference would make her happy, because she planned the new product conference. When she got well, she could go back to preside over the overall situation, and ah Cheng also disposed of Xiao Zhang for her. Doesn't that mean ah Cheng cares about her.

But why did she react so violently.

K reached out and touched Ann Zhike's hair. He really didn't know what to say. He could only use action to show that he would always be there.

At sunset and dusk, Ann Zhike kept a position and curled up in bed all afternoon.

It was getting dark, and Gu Mo City didn't come.

Because an Zhike said he wanted to be quiet, K sat for a while and went back to work for the company.

Ann Zhike doesn't know how long she cried, but she doesn't think it's been like this for a long time.

When she was at school, a group of people gathered around her to bully her. She was frightened, pushed down and beaten. She had never cried so bitterly.

But now, less than two years later, she really didn't know what had happened and why it had become like this.

Once Gu Mo City was her only sunshine and the direction of her progress.

Once Gu Mo City existed like a God in her heart.

Once, no matter what difficulties and setbacks she encountered, he would appear next to her for the first time.

Now she has changed, she is no longer humble, no longer cowardly, no longer timid.

But the only constant is Gu Mo City, which is sometimes close at hand. If she is not careful, he will change back to the divine meaning far away.

Ann Zhike really couldn't figure out why. They obviously spent more and more time together and were closer and closer, but she felt that he was more and more elusive.
