Chapter 652: Flattery

Gu Ruchu knew that whatever she said would be ridiculed, so she simply stopped talking.

"Have you eaten?" Ye Mubai spoke again.

Gu Ruochu was stunned for half a second, then shook her head: "Not yet, I'll prepare to eat later!"

As soon as the words fell, Ye Mubai said to Old Xu: "Go to Yuxiang Pavilion!"

The two of them sat in a closed car, and Gu Ruochu felt uncomfortable. It was Ye Mubai who broke the silence first.

"Lost everything?"

Gu Ruochu was a little embarrassed: "The other party is too powerful!"

"You didn't learn well when I taught you. Shame on you!"

Gu Ruochu:!!

Well, whatever I say is wrong, so I won’t say anything!

But it was obvious that Ye Mubai was not going to let her go, and continued to ask: "Why aren't you talking?"

The girl thought to herself: What the hell are you talking about?

"Mr. Ye, I actually don't like playing chess. If I don't like something, I won't be able to learn it no matter how well the teacher teaches me."

Ye Mubai chuckled: "Then what do you like?"

This question really stumped Gu Ruchu. She didn't think she had any special hobbies. She learned chess only to cater to the old man's appetite. Now she suddenly thought, what do she like?

"Chess!" the girl suddenly spoke. She used to play this with Su He in the school dormitory.

Ye Mubai nodded without saying anything. Gu Ruchu continued, "A powerful person like Mr. Ye would definitely not bother to play with children's toys!"

This sentence has a somewhat flattering tone.

The angle of Ye Mubai's mouth remained unchanged.

Sitting in the private room, the waiter soon brought the menu and Ye Mubai said, "The golden shrimp balls here are delicious, you can try it!"

Gu Ruochu asked curiously, "Does Mr. Ye come here often?"

"No, I just come here every time I'm on business in South City!"

The girl said "Oh" and didn't say anything else. Soon, the dishes were served. Ye Mubai picked up a golden shrimp ball for the girl, and Gu Ruchu said thank you without any hesitation.

Gu Ruchu was eating during the entire meal. Ye Mubai moved his chopsticks from time to time, but most of the time he just watched the girl eat!

"Mr. Ye, if you can't finish these golden shrimp balls, can you take them away?"

The girl spoke again, and Ye Mubai nodded without saying anything.

After coming out of Yuxiang Pavilion, Ye Mubai offered to send the girl back, but Gu Ruchu directly refused.

"Mr. Ye, thank you for your kindness. I'll take a taxi back by myself! Take care!"

"Get in the car!" Ye Mubai said softly while sitting in the car.

Gu Ruochu was stunned for half a second, and finally got into the car with gritted teeth. Sitting in the car, neither of them spoke. Suddenly, the sky, which was originally sunny, suddenly became gloomy, and then, large drops of rain as big as beans hit the windshield.

"It's raining!" Gu Ruochu said lightly.

Ye Mubai hummed indifferently.

Gu Ruochu wanted to say something, but suddenly Ye Mubai's phone rang. She shut up tactfully. She didn't know what the other party said, as the girl couldn't hear, but she kept looking up at the old man beside her from time to time.

I only heard him say calmly: "I know, I'll take the next bus back! Okay! Um, I'm hanging up!"

After Ye Mubai hung up the phone, he asked, "Where do you live now?"

The girl spoke truthfully: "Qinghai Apartment!"

Old Xu consciously navigated to Qinghai Apartment. Half an hour later, the car stopped steadily in front of the door of Qinghai Apartment. Gu Ruchu was about to get out of the car, but Ye Mubai grabbed her hand and said, "It's raining too hard outside. Wait a minute before getting out!"

Gu Ruochu looked at the heavy rain outside and felt helpless. It was sunny before, but now...

Old Xu consciously raised the tailgate of the car, which made Gu Ruchu even more embarrassed. She had nothing to do with Ye Mubai now, and this action felt like he was trying to cover up his guilt.

Sure enough, the next second, Ye Mubai reached out and pinched her chin, turning her head towards him. Then the girl watched the old man's face gradually enlarged. His whole body was tied tightly, especially the old man's breath gently sprinkled on her face, which made her feel a little itchy.

The girl turned her head away to avoid Ye Mubai's scorching gaze, but her chin was pinched and she couldn't move at all.

I thought Ye Mubai would do something to her in the car, but nothing happened. He just carefully observed the scars on her face, and then said lightly: "It's best for girls not to have scars on their faces, otherwise they will not be beautiful!"

After saying that, he let the girl go.

Gu Ruochu was stunned for half a second, then said, "Being pretty can't be eaten now!"

"You're wrong. Being pretty can sometimes be enough to make a living!"

Gu Ruchu said that he couldn't beat him, so he simply stopped talking.

Ye Mubai suddenly spoke again: "I'm going back to S City today!"

The girl said "oh" and didn't say anything?

"Don't you want to say something?"

She thought about it and said, "Be careful on the road!"

"That's all?"

The girl was stunned. What should she say? There was nothing much to talk about between them. She couldn't just ask if you were coming back. It was inappropriate for them to talk about this.

The girl hummed softly and said nothing.

The two of them sat quietly for a while. The rain outside stopped and a rainbow appeared. Gu Ruchu just sat there quietly. Ye Mubai suddenly said, "Let's go back!"

The girl came to her senses, said goodbye, opened the car door and got out.

"Mr. Ye, are we going to the airport now?"

Ye Mubai hummed, but didn't say anything else. Gu Ruchu watched the car go away until it was out of sight, then turned and left, feeling relieved.

Gu Group

As soon as Fu Jiu arrived at the company and sat down, Zhao Manxue walked over to her workstation and said with a smile, "Fu Jiu, here you go!"

After saying that, she handed a delicate little box to Fu Jiu, who was bewildered. "Sister Xueman, what is this?"

"Honey fried dough sticks, they're so delicious I wanted to share them with you, give them a try!"

Now, Fu Jiu was even more confused. This was so inexplicable. Hadn't he ignored her before?

"Thank you, Sister Xueman!"

"You're welcome. By the way, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me!"

Fu Jiu nodded. Suddenly, Zhao Xueman came up to her and whispered, "Fu Jiu, how did you get in? They say you have a backer. Who is your backer?"

Fu Jiu was stunned for half a second, then smiled awkwardly: "I don't have any connections!"

"Then why did you ask for leave before? Director Gu asked for leave for you personally. What is your relationship with Director Gu?"

The other person looked gossipy.

Fu Jiu was speechless. If we really wanted to talk about their relationship, then there really was a layer of connection.

"What kind of relationship do we have?" Fu Jiu asked the other party.

"Are you his girlfriend?"

Fu Jiu: "...Uh, you're overthinking it. Do you think Director Gu would be interested in me?"

Zhao Xueman thought for a moment, then looked Fu Jiu up and down, muttering to herself, "Yeah, don't you even look at yourself?" Then she turned and left, only to return a few steps later and take the honey fried dough sticks off Fu Jiu's table.

Fu Jiu was immediately confused!
