The CEO's wife is reborn and vows to pay for her crimes in blood.

Chapter 20 A Different Gu Ye

"Go in!" The female assistant led Chu Xinglan to one of the doors and smiled politely at her.

Chu Xinglan looked on with suspicion. Seeing the other person politely gesture for her to enter, Chu Xinglan had no choice but to push open the door. She glanced back at the female assistant smiling at her behind her, and then continued walking forward.

After Chu Xinglan entered, the door was closed, and the female assistant did not follow her in.

Chu Xinglan had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue walking forward. The decorations and furniture here were all top-notch, clearly indicating that this was no ordinary place.

She was a little confused. What was she even doing here? If they were just trying to mess with her, they wouldn't have used such a nice place to play a trick on an ordinary job applicant like her.

"Lanlan!" The sudden sound of "Lanlan" made Chu Xinglan's heart skip a beat.

That magnetic voice, who else could it be but Gu Ye?

"As expected!" Chu Xinglan sighed, "You still found out."

Chu Xinglan had already thought of this. Otherwise, why would the supervisor who had always been hostile to her suddenly fall silent? And why would she suddenly be offered a suitable position? Who else could have such power except for the company's big boss?

Chu Xinglan turned around and saw Gu Ye walking gracefully towards her. In her previous life, she only had Xu Yang in her mind and had no idea that Gu Ye was such a charming man.

Tall and imposing, handsome, with an elegant demeanor ingrained in his bones, and a net worth of hundreds of billions, he's both handsome and wealthy—what woman wouldn't love him?

Looking at her husband from her past life, now a man she'd had a one-night stand with, Chu Xinglan felt a mix of emotions.

"Mommy, this is my jerk daddy, he's so handsome!" The little boy was so excited to see his biological father that he was waving his arms and legs. Chu Xinglan was a little embarrassed. The little boy kept calling him a jerk daddy, but when he saw the real person, he was still so happy that he went crazy. It turns out that children can lie too.

The baby's voice brought Chu Xinglan, who had been somewhat lost in thought, back to reality.

"Didn't you say you only wanted Mommy? Why don't you want Mommy anymore now that you see Daddy?"

Chu Xinglan pretended to be jealous and deliberately teased the baby to dispel the complicated feelings in her heart.

The little boy realized he had gotten carried away, so he quickly covered his mouth with his hand and stopped talking, but his watery eyes couldn't help but steal glances at Gu Ye.

"Lanlan, I didn't expect you to miss me so much. You actually came all the way to my company just to see me."

Gu Ye suddenly moved close to Chu Xinglan, startling her.

In her past life, she didn't know much about Gu Ye. She never expected that this guy, who looked so unapproachable and aloof, was actually so good at flirting.

Chu Xinglan was flustered by Gu Ye's flirting and hurriedly pushed him away.

"I'm not here to see you, I'm here to look for a job."

"Oh? Miss Chu needs to come here to look for a job?" Gu Ye asked knowingly. He leaned closer and cornered Chu Xinglan against the wall, giving her a wall slam.

Chu Xinglan's heart raced as she looked at Gu Ye, who was leaning close to her.

Her eyes darted away, and she naturally couldn't tell Gu Ye her true intentions, so she lied and said, "Although my family isn't poor, I have my own pride and can't rely on my parents to live. I want to earn my own living."

However, it wasn't exactly a lie; she genuinely didn't want to use the Chu family's money anymore and wanted to live independently.

"Lanlan really has high aspirations." Gu Ye's slender fingers slid down Chu Xinglan's cheek.

This is wonderful, Lanlan. This feels real, with flesh and blood, not just a cold, lifeless corpse. When I touched your cold, lifeless body, my world collapsed. Lanlan... I never knew I loved you so deeply!

Chu Xinglan became even more flustered after being touched by Gu Ye.

Damn it, why is her heart pounding so hard? Could she be developing feelings for Gu Ye?

"Wow, what are you trying to do to Mommy, you bastard daddy? Let go of her hand!"

The baby's voice brought Chu Xinglan back to her senses, and then she saw the baby hitting and punching Gu Ye.

"Let go of Mommy, you bad person!"

The little girl was really anxious. She didn't know that physical contact between adults sometimes doesn't mean harm. She saw Gu Ye pressing Chu Xinglan against the wall and felt that he was hurting her mother. She thought that in her previous life, she thought his indifference had shattered Chu Xinglan's last hope, and she was worried that the tragedy would repeat itself.

Seeing that Gu Ye was unmoved, she grabbed his arm and bit it hard.

For some reason, Gu Ye did feel as if something had bitten his arm. He winced in pain, but still did not let go of Chu Xinglan.

He was afraid to let her go, afraid that she would disappear from his sight just like in his previous life.

Chu Xinglan watched the adorable little baby hitting and biting Gu Ye, wanting to laugh but not daring to. However, she couldn't keep her expression in check; it was just too difficult for her.

Unaware of the baby's existence, Gu Ye saw Chu Xinglan looking in his direction with eyes full of light and was immediately moved. He mistakenly thought that Chu Xinglan was also interested in him, so he could no longer restrain himself and kissed Chu Xinglan.

Gu Ye's sudden attack startled Chu Xinglan, and she slapped him across the face.

"Gu Ye, what are you doing? Don't think that just because we slept together once, you can do whatever you want to me!"

"I thought you were willing!" Gu Ye, who had just been slapped, was also completely bewildered. But when he saw Chu Xinglan's chest heaving with anger, he realized that he had misunderstood something.

"You think I wanted this?" Chu Xinglan was even more furious. "What kind of woman do you take me for? A woman you can just do whatever you want?"

Chu Xinglan was truly enraged this time. She turned and left, ignoring her work and forgetting about finding the murderer through Gu Ye.

Seeing that Chu Xinglan was about to leave, Gu Ye quickly grabbed her arm.

"Lanlan, don't you want to find what you're looking for by my side?"

"Gu Ye, what are you talking about?" Chu Xinglan looked at Gu Ye strangely. He knew what she wanted to find from him. Could it be that Gu Ye, like her, had also been reborn?

Realizing he had acted impulsively, Gu Ye cleverly dispelled Chu Xinglan's suspicions.

With a nonchalant attitude, he flicked Chu Xinglan's bangs.

"Didn't Lanlan come here because of the high salary? If you stay here and receive a high salary every month, wouldn't that prove that you have the ability to support yourself?"

Chu Xinglan looked at Gu Ye with suspicion, realizing that she had been overthinking things.

However, Gu Ye was right. She did need money very much. Her pregnancy meant she could only work for two or three months, otherwise her suspicions would be exposed. So she needed to get enough money to support her through childbirth as quickly as possible. In addition, she also needed to find the person who harmed her from Gu Ye's side as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.
