Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

Gu Xiaorui had always thought that her mother had reached an agreement with the Pei Family.

The two of them would become husband and wife.

Who would have guessed that Pei Zhe would actually tell her face-to-face that it was impossible between them!

Now that her mother had been taken away, her father went to question Gu Xiaozhan, only to be reprimanded by her brother.

She had thought that the person who could save Huo Yiwen was Pei Zhe.

But Pei Zhe not only refused but cleared himself of any ties with her.

”Shao Han, see Miss Gu out.” Pei Zhe issued the eviction order.

”Yes!” Mu Shaohan stepped forward, ”Miss Gu, His Excellency the President is tired, please leave first!”

Gu Xiaorui turned and ran out; she had grown up under Huo Yiwen’s protection and had never suffered like this.

It was only after Huo Yiwen was captured that she realized she was insignificant.

Gu Xiaorui arrived at the police station.

”I’m sorry, Mom, Father found Brother, and I found His Excellency the President—they are all unwilling to step up.” Gu Xiaorui cried as she spoke.

Huo Yiwen maintained her graceful demeanor and listened for a long time without speaking. It was only after Gu Xiaorui had finished crying that she said, ”Mom is only temporarily stuck here; it won’t take long for me to be out.”

”But, I can’t bear for Mom to suffer here, and this would also ruin Mom’s reputation.” Gu Xiaorui shook her head.

Huo Yiwen sighed, ”Only you truly care for Mom, but it’s alright. Mom suffered a lot when she was young. However, remember...”

”Mom, tell me,” Gu Xiaorui nodded.

”Gu Xiaozhan has long been infatuated with Mu Anhan to the point of losing himself; he now denies his own family. You still need to maintain a good relationship with Pei Zhe. Pei Zhe is the President, and his reputation is quite good, his public approval is high, and he won’t be stepping down anytime soon. Once you become the President’s wife, you’ll have unlimited power.”

Huo Yiwen advised her, while Gu Xiaorui couldn’t bear to tell her mother that Pei Zhe had no intention of marrying her.

”I know, Pei Zhe has feelings for that little wretch Mu Anhan, and he is indifferent to you, but I have a way to make him marry you,” Huo Yiwen said with certainty.

Gu Xiaorui sobbed, ”Mom, talk about it after you get out! Let’s not discuss these things now.”

”You wait at home for news.” Huo Yiwen said calmly.

...

The news was already broadcasting:

Gu Family’s fourth madam, Huo Yiwen, was rushed to the hospital due to a sudden heart attack.

Mu Anhan and Gu Xiaozhan, upon hearing the news, exchanged glances; this was indeed Huo Yiwen’s usual tactic.

However, this time, it was merely to teach Huo Yiwen a lesson.

If she was using this method, then let her continue using it.

Mu Shaohan reported this news to Pei Zhe.

”Let her be!” Pei Zhe acknowledged.

Mu Shaohan furrowed his brow, ”Shouldn’t we stop her?”

”The police don’t have concrete evidence, and if they’re bold enough to make an arrest, do you think they acted without someone’s instigation?” Pei Zhe lit a cigarette and exhaled a smoke ring.

”It was Mr. Gu’s instigation, wasn’t it!” Mu Shaohan sighed, ”He really is an unwavering protector of his wife!”

”Sit down!” Pei Zhe asked if he would like a cigarette, ”Help yourself.”

Mu Shaohan sat opposite him, took a cigarette from Pei Zhe’s pack, and smoked it. ”The Gu Family should also know it was Mr. Gu’s instigation, but still Miss Gu sought His Excellency the President?”

Pei Zhe flicked his ash off the cigarette, ”Women’s thoughts are hard to guess.”

Mu Shaohan immediately understood that Gu Xiaorui had come to Pei Zhe not only to plead for her mother but also to get closer to Pei Zhe and to probe his intentions.
