Chapter 54 Heat

He Lian glanced at Gu Ningli's surprised and stunned eyes, smiled, stood up, and patted her shoulder. "You are still too young. You have no patience at all. Your mischief today not only did not hurt the other party, but instead won her everyone's sympathy." After a pause, she said, "Especially your brother, he is very kind to women."

"Sympathy?" Gu Ningli snorted. "I really don't understand what's wrong with society these days? We sympathize with those who seek to gain power by any means necessary, simply by any means necessary?" She raised her voice, her tone piercing. "And we even sympathize with a woman who knows someone has a fiancée and yet still wants to be his mistress?"

"Gu Ningli, who is the mistress? Stop talking nonsense." A low voice came from behind, with a hint of anger.

Gu Ningli and He Lian turned around and saw Gu Ningwei pushing the door open with a stern face.

He walked up to the two of them, lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and said in a cold tone: "I emphasize again, Han Que is not a mistress, and I am not engaged, and I don't have a fiancée."

Gu Ningli rarely saw Gu Ningwei angry. She lowered her head and muttered to herself, "How can she not be a mistress? You clearly agreed to marry Sister He Lian, you just didn't announce it to the public. It's not like she didn't know...∴ She knew it, but she still insisted on you..."

"Gu Ningli!" Gu Ningwei suppressed his anger. "I'm warning you again, you don't need to interfere in my affairs."

He sat down on the sofa, turned his head to look at He Lian who was silent beside him, and took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket.

He Lian glanced at him, curled her lips, smiled, leaned over, took a cigarette from the pack, put it to her lips, squinted her eyes and looked at Gu Ningwei, waiting for him to light the cigarette.

Gu Ningwei took out a lighter and lit it for her. He Lian squinted her eyes, took a deep breath, blew out a smoke ring comfortably, and smiled, "Awei, don't be angry. Ali is just a child with a temper. She is love-brained and thinks that everyone in the world gets married for love..." She shrugged and sighed slightly.

Gu Ningwei also smiled, a sly glint in his eyes, "He Lian, you still understand reason!"

"Of course!" He Lian nodded and stood up. "You two siblings should have a good chat to clear up this misunderstanding. I'm going to the venue now to say hello to the organizers. I have to give a speech on stage later."

She put out the cigarette in her hand, fixed her hair in front of the mirror, and waved at Gu Ningli, "See you later, Ali!"

After saying that, she picked up the small sequined bag in her hand, straightened her back, put on an elegant, intellectual, bright and generous expression, and walked out of the room.

Gu Ningwei looked at her back, looking thoughtful.

After work, Han Que received a call from Zhou Wenwen and said to her in a coquettish tone, "Han Que, you dead woman who values ​​love over friendship, how long has it been since you summoned us?"

Han laughed, "How could you see me putting my love before my friends? It was you who went to Japan and is now in Singapore, having a blast every day, yet you're trying to turn the tables and accuse me of it!"

Zhou Wenwen smiled and said, "That's perfect. I just came back from Osaka last week and brought you some cosmetics."

Han Que was about to speak when someone next to him said, "She still needs makeup? She's prettier than us even without washing her face!"

It was Fang Jiayan's voice, "Jiayan is here too?"

"Yes, yes, it's a rare occasion that Jiayan isn't on duty today, why don't you come over quickly so the three of us can have a good time together."

Han remembered that he had not yet thanked Fang Jiayan for the loan, so he hurriedly asked for the address and rushed over.

Zhou Wenwen had an appointment at a bar, but when Han walked in, he saw dim lights and flashing neon lights. A Filipino singer was holding a microphone and singing an old English song with great emotion. The song had a melodious voice and beautiful melody. The girls dancing with her were wearing elegant dresses with large skirts and dancing gracefully.

Han squeezed through the crowded crowd. Along the way, some people approached her and offered to buy her a drink, but she waved her hand to decline. She looked around for a long time before she found Zhou Wenwen and Fang Jiayan in the corner.

The two of them were huddled together with their heads down, concentrating on looking at the phone screen in Zhou Wenwen's hand, their expressions a little serious.

Han walked up to the two of them, knocked on the table, and asked with a smile, "What are you looking at so intently?"

Zhou Wenwen and Fang Jiayan were startled and looked up suddenly. Zhou Wenwen subconsciously put her phone upside down on the table, walked forward exaggeratedly and hugged her arm, grinning, "Han Que, you're finally here. Oh, I missed you so much."

As he was about to kiss her cheek, Han avoided her lips in disdain, "Don't worry, I'm normal and don't let women kiss me. And don't get your saliva all over my face..."

Zhou Wenwen made a sound of disgust, then sat down with a smile, picked up a glass of wine from the table and handed it to her: "You are late, drink a penalty."

Fang Jiayan also pursed her lips and smiled.

Han was not polite, he took a big sip from the wine glass, frowned, and muttered: "What a weird taste!"

Zhou Wenwen pulled Han Que closer, looking her up and down, left and right. After a long pause, she smiled and said, "How come this woman is becoming more and more beautiful and beautiful? Is she being nurtured by a man?"

Han touched his face guiltily and denied it: "No, I'm too busy."

"Of course, look at the skin on your face and your watery eyes. I have reason to suspect that you are taking yang to replenish yin. Is that right, Jiayan?" Zhou Wenwen turned to Fang Jiayan for confirmation.

Fang Jiayan nodded in agreement.

Han smiled but said nothing.

Fang Jiayan thought for a moment and asked softly, "I heard that your aunt's matter has been resolved."

Han knew that her information came from Yuan Hao, her face flushed, and she nodded.

Zhou Wenwen took in the puzzled expressions on their faces and immediately shouted, "Okay, what are you two hiding from me? Han Que, what's going on?"

Han smiled faintly and said casually: "It's nothing. I used a bank loan to pay off my aunt's debt."

"You paid off the debt in one swoop? Why? I heard from my brother that a lot of your bonuses were deducted because of Lu Xiaoping's incident. Where did you get so much money to pay off the debt?"

"Didn't I tell you that I paid it back with a bank loan? She has to pay it back because she owes a loan shark." Han briefly recounted the matter of Han Youfang's debt collection.

Zhou Wenwen screamed angrily, "How could you be so heartless, my aunt? Even I know that if it weren't for your father, she wouldn't have been able to survive raising Gao Wen alone. Now that she has a good life, she only wants to get rich, but her greed is insatiable. She lost her wife and her army, and even owed usurious loans. She pushed those living ghosts onto you to deal with. What kind of person is this!"

The people at another table nearby looked over again, but Han looked up and saw a young man in a light blue shirt staring at her.

Their eyes met, but Han turned away and said to Zhou Wenwen, "Forget it, it's all in the past. It's resolved, so let's not talk about these unhappy things. I won't have any contact with their family in the future. Now there are only my mother and I in the world. Without these messy relatives, I can have peace and quiet."

Zhou Wenwen nodded in agreement: "That's true!" Xiang Xiang shouted again: "No, you still have us. Jiayan and I are your strongest backing!"

Her voice was too loud, and the people at the next table looked over again. However, Han patted Zhou Wenwen and said, "Keep your voice down. Don't make so much noise."

Zhou Wenwen might have been a bit of a fuss, but she was genuinely concerned for Han Que. Hearing this, she grumbled, "My brother's the same way. He knew you were struggling, but he still deducted your bonus all at once. I told him that day, but couldn't he have deducted it in installments? He gave me a chance to relax. Damn, capitalists are just too profit-driven."

"Don't blame your brother. He has helped me a lot. In order to help me earn more, he arranged a lot of classes for me over the years. Others have opinions, and according to the club's rules, there will be penalties for not maintaining good customers, but he didn't punish me." Han spoke up for Zhou Hongbin instead.

Zhou Wenwen was about to say something, but Han didn't want to mention Lu Xiaoping anymore, so he quickly changed the subject. "Hey, when I came in just now, what were you two watching so intently?"

Zhou Wenwen was stunned for a moment, and stammered that she was just watching the live broadcast, and then she winked at Fang Jiayan.

Han, however, noticed that she was acting furtively, as if she was hiding something from him, and he became suspicious. However, he didn't point it out. He just pretended to be surprised and said, "It's only what time now, and the male model is already performing a fringe act? Aren't you afraid of getting your account blocked?" He then mocked Zhou Wenwen, "Oh, our Wenwen is also starting to get horny. She can't wait to watch fringe before it's even late at night."

Zhou Wenwen glared at her but didn't argue. Fang Jiayan looked at Han Que, blinked, and said meaningfully, "It seems that Han Que is not hungry!"

Han, however, understood that she had heard about Gu Ningwei's situation. This information must have been leaked by Yuan Hao, so he asked with a smile, "Hey, Manager Yuan, whom you introduced to me last time, are you still in touch?"

Fang Jiayan nodded, looking slightly unnatural, "What's wrong?"

Han said, "I want to treat him to a meal to express my gratitude. If it weren't for his help, the consequences of my situation would be disastrous. Since you're still in contact with him, let's go together."

Fang Jiayan said, "There's no need to eat, and he didn't help much. It's mainly because of you and..." She looked at her meaningfully and didn't say anything else.

Han was about to speak when her cell phone rang. It was Director Pan, who never called her.

"Han Que, the charity association's auction is being livestreamed, and now it's our group's turn. The boss thinks it's not popular enough, so he asked the employees to use their own accounts to boost the popularity."

However, Han knew that the bosses she mentioned were the two Gu brothers from the Chengguang Group, and he quickly agreed while clicking on the website link. All media outlets were broadcasting the auction live. When the camera swept across, he could see Gu Ningwei standing among a group of middle-aged men with a handsome appearance, standing out from the crowd.

"By the way, contact the people at your biological company. They're about to announce the engagement of CEO Jiang and Miss Gu. Have them all send messages and give some gifts, and have them reimburse the company tomorrow. Stir up the hype."

Han nodded in agreement, and then busied himself with calling Yu Xiaoli to convey Director Pan's words. When everything was done, he looked back at Zhou Wenwen and Fang Jiayan's expressions, which were full of disbelief.
