After the divorce, the CEO forced me to have his child.

Chapter 88 Revealing the Secret

“Because of me…” Gu Zhiyao was stunned for a moment.

Anxi then changed the subject, "Answer me what you just said, why did you come here?"

"I……"

"Is it to help the girl who was violated by Wen Shiren? What is your relationship with that girl? Is it just to help her out?" Anxi knew what kind of person Gu Zhiyao was and how kind-hearted she was, but even if she wanted to help someone, she couldn't trade her future for it!

"Sister An, I'm sorry, I didn't lie to you. I was planning to go abroad, but I came across this case at the last minute. I felt sorry for that girl and wanted to help my classmate out as well," Gu Zhiyao said after some consideration.

"When did you get your lawyer's license?" Anxi asked. "Are you sure you won't do it to me? So, you're still going abroad?"

"Ok!"

“But…” Anxi believed her too. Looking at the magnificent skyscrapers behind Gu Zhiyao, and recalling the high praise for Lin Houze Law Firm online, she couldn’t help but say, “Since you’ve already come here, why not stay? If you feel that you’re not meeting your expectations and ideals at He’s Group, then continue working here. I’ve searched for this law firm; it’s a rising star in the industry, which means it has great opportunities and potential. You have a bright future ahead of you. And that man just now was Lin Houze, your college classmate, right? He’s handsome, dashing, and polite. Why don’t you just date him? Marrying him would be better than going abroad. Going abroad doesn’t necessarily guarantee good opportunities, and a woman still needs a family and children. Gu Zhiyao, don’t go abroad. Stay here! I won’t blame you anymore. We can still keep in touch.”

“Sister An…” Gu Zhiyao chuckled.

"I'm telling you, do you know I came to you with a belly full of questions and a belly full of anger? Doesn't that just show how much I care about you? That's why I'm acting like this. Also, why can't I get through to your phone number? You changed your phone and didn't even tell me!"

"I'm sorry, Sister An!" Gu Zhiyao said apologetically, then told An Qian her new number without hesitation. "I lost my phone before, and it wasn't registered in my name, so I just got rid of it and got a new one. I didn't tell you because I've been too busy lately and focused on this case. It was my oversight."

Anxi quickly entered the number into her phone and dialed it. She was relieved to hear Gu Zhiyao's phone ring.

Gu Zhiyao silently watched An Qian's subtle actions, feeling a pang of guilt and self-reproach. She also felt sad that she was still deceiving An Qian, but she really couldn't tell An Qian the truth.

After saving the number, Anxi continued to persuade Gu Zhiyao to stay, focusing the conversation on Lin Houze and encouraging Gu Zhiyao to date him. Gu Zhiyao, not wanting Anxi to be so kind, replied, "Okay, I'll consider it. By the way, Sister An, have you eaten? How about we have a meal together?"

"You only just remembered? Even if I'm full, I still want to eat with you!" Anxi huffed, finally returning to their usual intimacy.

Since the lunch break was short, they chose a nearby restaurant. During the break, Anxi asked Gu Zhiyao many questions, which Gu Zhiyao answered evasively. However, Anxi was already in a good mood and mentioned that her colleagues in the legal department had been praising her that day.

"They all idolize you, they're so excited and thrilled. Just then, President He showed up, and someone even asked him about him. Of course, it still wasn't as crazy as I was!" Anxi said with a self-deprecating laugh.

When Gu Zhiyao heard An Qian mention He Yi again, she was slightly dazed, and then asked An Qian, "Were you really fired?"

"Not yet, but who knows if he'll do the same stupid thing again next time," Ansie explained. "Maybe it's because he's in a bad mood today, and I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Is He Yi in a bad mood?

Because Wen Shih-jen was convicted?

Wen Ya was unhappy, which made Zheng Yuanxi unhappy, and then he became unhappy too?

Gu Zhiyao thought to herself, but her thoughts didn't linger there. She changed the subject and started talking about Zhong Jiahui.

"Something happened at home. Apparently, her sister-in-law and her mother had a fight, and her mother was so upset that she was hospitalized. She took leave to go back and check on her. It's a good thing she wasn't there, or she would have gone crazy!"

"Is her mother alright?"

"He's awake and fine; it was just a momentary outburst of anger."

"Okay." Gu Zhiyao was relieved.

It was almost time for work, so everyone parted ways.

"If you change your number again, remember to tell me immediately. Don't let me lose track of you again, or I'll really get angry! That Lin Houze is a good guy, he's good enough for you. You should work harder to win him over, and then you two can work together as a couple and become the most famous law firm in Yuncheng!" Before parting, Anxi couldn't help but nag again.

Gu Zhiyao smiled softly as she watched An Qian get into the car before heading back to the company.

Anxi immediately summoned the entire legal department upon returning to the company. "You want to know about Zhiyao, right? Then listen carefully. I'll only say this once. If you ask again, I won't say anything more!"

Everyone quickly gathered around, "Sister An, tell us quickly, you weren't at the company at noon, did you go to see Zhiyao?"

Seeing everyone's eagerness, Anxi slowly said, "Yes, she didn't switch jobs because of higher pay elsewhere. She really plans to go abroad. It just so happens that lawyer Lin got a sexual assault case, and she helped with it."

"I see. I knew she wasn't that kind of calculating person."

"By the way, Sister An, is Lin Houze just Sister Zhiyao's classmate? The fact that he would stay and help her makes me think it's more than just a classmate relationship. Could he be her boyfriend?"

"It's possible. So many people are pursuing Gu Zhiyao but she hasn't been moved. She must have someone she loves."

The group started discussing this topic again.

Girls love to talk about this, and all sorts of opinions and gossip come out.

Seeing their excited chatter, Anxi smiled and said, "I just met this Lin classmate today. He was supposed to have lunch with Zhiyao, but I beat him to it. He is indeed handsome, gentle and refined, and very polite."

"Looks like there's hope!"

Everyone was engrossed in their heated discussion, completely unaware that two figures were standing outside the office: He Yi and Quan Xinyu.

Quan Xinyu secretly observed He Yi. He had been wondering why President He had suddenly come to the legal department, but after hearing what he had just said, he stopped thinking about it and even felt that it must be an arrangement by God. Moreover, he was somewhat happy.

I just don't know if President He is happy.

All we saw was that the CEO remained expressionless and walked away without saying a word after a while.

After parting ways with Anxi, Gu Zhiyao returned to the company and focused on her work until 4 o'clock. Suddenly, she received a call from the wedding dress shop saying that her custom-made wedding dress was ready and asking when it would be convenient for her to come and try it on.

Gu Zhiyao, holding her phone, froze completely!
