After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight

Seeing this, other people in the conference room looked at Su Li with contempt and ridicule.

"Tsk, I thought she was some good person, but turns out she's just so-so." Company colleague A muttered in a low voice.

"That's right. He pretends to be noble, but he does it to curry favor with Mr. Gu, no matter what." Another colleague echoed.

Manager Zhou walked up to Su Li with a gloating look on his face, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Miss Su, why are you doing this? Who is Mr. Gu? Do you think you can catch his eye?"

Su Li lowered her head, said nothing, and let the ridicule and taunts come at her like a tide.

She didn't know how she walked out of the meeting room. She just felt her vision was blurry and her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

"Su Li..."

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind her. Su Li raised her head abruptly, only to see Secretary Lin standing in front of her with a worried look on his face.

"Su Li, are you okay?" Secretary Lin supported the staggering Su Li and asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Su Li shook her head, her voice hoarse.

"Alas..." Secretary Lin sighed, hesitating to speak.

"Secretary Lin, is it..." Su Li tightly grasped Secretary Lin's hand and said hurriedly, "Is it Mr. Gu who..."

"Su Li, don't think too much. Mr. Gu is just angry for the moment. He will understand when he calms down." Secretary Lin comforted.

Su Li smiled bitterly. She really didn't understand why Gu Jinyan's attitude towards her had changed so much in just a few days.

"Secretary Lin, I'm leaving first." Su Li weakly let go of Secretary Lin's hand and turned to walk towards the company gate.

"Su Li..." Secretary Lin wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Su Li raising her hand.

"I'm really fine, I just want to be alone for a while."

After saying that, Su Li left the company without looking back.

evening.

Su Li dragged her tired body on the way home, replaying the scenes that happened in the company today in her mind. Her heart felt like it was being pricked by needles and was in intense pain.

Suddenly, a black Maybach stopped in front of her, and the window slowly lowered, revealing Gu Jinyan's stern profile.

"Get in the car!" He said in a cold tone, leaving no room for doubt.

Su Li hesitated for a moment, but still opened the car door and got in.

"Mr. Gu, you..."

"Fasten your seat belts." Gu Jinyan interrupted her coldly, started the car and drove away.

Su Li's heart sank to the bottom, and a bad premonition came to her mind...

The atmosphere in the carriage was suffocating.

Su Li secretly looked at the man next to her. His profile was cold and hard, his lips were tightly pursed, and he exuded a chill that kept strangers away.

She took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to break the silence: "Boss Gu, today's matter..."

"I don't want to talk about this anymore." Gu Jinyan interrupted her coldly, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

Su Li bit her lower lip, feeling bitterness spread in her heart.

She knew that Gu Jinyan was still angry with her, but she really didn't do anything wrong, so why did he treat her like this?

"Mr. Gu, I know you are very angry now, but can you please listen to my explanation?" Su Li's voice was a little choked, "Those materials are really not mine..."

"Enough!" Gu Jinyan slammed on the brakes, and the black Maybach stopped on the side of the road. He turned his head, stared at Su Li with a sharp gaze, and said word by word, "Su Li, I don't want to hear any explanation. In my eyes, facts speak louder than words!"

Su Li's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and it hurt so much that she could hardly breathe.

She had never seen Gu Jinyan so indifferent, as if all the tenderness had nothing to do with him.

"Mr. Gu, why can't you trust me just once?" Su Li's eyes were red and tears were welling up in them.

"Believe you?" Gu Jinyan sneered, "Su Li, are you worthy of my trust?"

After he finished speaking, he ignored Su Li, restarted the car, and sped away, leaving her with a resolute back.

Returning to the villa, Su Li's heart sank to the bottom.

She didn't understand why things between her and Gu Jinyan turned out like this in just a few days?

Is it true that there is only suspicion and doubt left between them?

"Su Li, you're back?" Secretary Lin saw Su Li and hurried over to greet her. "I made some of your favorite dishes. Go and try them."

Su Li forced a smile, nodded, and followed Secretary Lin into the restaurant.

"Su Li, don't blame Mr. Gu. He has a lot of things to do in the company recently and is under a lot of pressure, so..." Secretary Lin hesitated to speak, as if he had something to hide.

"Secretary Lin, did something happen in the company?" Su Li keenly noticed Secretary Lin's abnormality and asked.

Secretary Lin hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Recently, a very important project in the company has run into problems, and President Gu has been trying to find a solution, so..."

Su Li's heart sank suddenly. Could it be that because of the company's affairs, Gu Jinyan became like this?

"Secretary Lin, thank you for telling me this." Su Li took a deep breath and tried to suppress the uneasiness in her heart. "I know what to do now."

Secretary Lin looked at Su Li's lonely back and sighed softly.

At night, Su Li lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep. Gu Jinyan's cold eyes and cold words replayed in her mind over and over again, making her heart ache.

Su Li secretly made up her mind that she would temporarily put aside her personal feelings, focus on her work, and wait for the right time to reconcile with Gu Jinyan.

The next day, Su Li got up early and dressed up carefully. She changed into a neat business suit, tied up her long hair, and looked energetic, as if she had become a different person.

After coming to the company, Su Li changed her gentleness and showed a vigorous and resolute working style. She carefully reviewed the company's recent project information, actively participated in department meetings, put forward her own opinions, and worked hard to learn every aspect of the company's operations.

Colleagues were surprised at Su Li's transformation, but they gradually began to look at her with admiration.

Colleague A at the company couldn't help but sigh: "Su Li is really a person you should look at with new eyes after three days of absence. Why didn't I realize she is so capable before?"

"Yeah, I thought she was just a vase, but I didn't expect she was so serious at work." Another colleague echoed.

Only Secretary Lin knows for whom Su Li changed.

She looked at Su Li with heartache, but could do nothing but support her silently.

Su Li's efforts were not recognized by Gu Jinyan.

He was still cold and distant to her, as if she was just an insignificant stranger.

That day, Su Li worked overtime until very late and left the company.

She dragged her tired body back to the villa, only to find Gu Jinyan sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, looking out the window with deep eyes.

Hearing the footsteps, Gu Jinyan turned around and saw Su Li. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then they became cold again.

"You're back so late?" His tone was indifferent, without any emotion.

"Well, there are some things that need to be dealt with in the company." Su Li answered softly, trying hard to suppress the bitterness in her heart.

"Company matters?" Gu Jinyan sneered, "I think you are not interested in the bar."

Su Li's heart sank suddenly. She didn't understand what he meant.

"What do you mean?" She raised her head and looked straight into Gu Jinyan's eyes, with a hint of questioning in her tone.

Gu Jinyan put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up, and approached Su Li step by step, his eyes as sharp as a knife: "Su Li, don't think I don't know what you are planning. Do you think you can get my attention like this?"

Gu Jinyan's tone was full of disdain and suspicion, like cold needles, piercing Su Li's heart. She didn't understand why she tried so hard to get close to him, but was misunderstood and hurt by him again and again.
