Chapter 119 Betting

The phone kept ringing.

It is full of urging meaning.

Mu Yuan felt anxious.

She clutched her phone tightly and hurried down the stairs.

Gu Chenyi clenched his hands hanging down at the sides of his body into fists and quickly followed.

"Mu Yuan."

He called out softly, but Mu Yuan had no intention of stopping.

She just rushed out the door.

Without hesitation.

"Mu Yuan, Mu Yuan, wait a minute!"

When Mu Yuan heard the call from behind, he did not stop but instead sped up.

The phone in her hand kept ringing, but she had no chance to answer it.

Because Gu Chenyi was chasing closely behind.

She was just a few steps away from walking out of the corridor.

The figure appearing at the end of the corridor made Mu Yuan stop.

Why is Wang Ruier here?

Didn’t she leave?

Mu Yuan wanted to speed up and leave her, treating her as a passerby.

However, Gu Chenyi, who followed behind, disrupted her plan.

"Mu Yuan! You..." Seeing Mu Yuan stop, Gu Chenyi took a few steps forward, and the words he hadn't said were silenced when he saw Wang Ruier.

"Chen Yi? Were you in there just now?"

Wang Ruier was surprised, but subconsciously looked at the cold woman in front of her.

who is she?

Gu Chenyi looked anxious as he chased after her.

She just saw it all.

It was the first time she saw Gu Chenyi's enthusiastic reaction.

Her sixth sense told her.

The woman in front of him has an unusual relationship with Gu Chenyi.

So she took the initiative: "Chen Yi, who is this?"

She asked this.

This completely put an end to Mu Yuan's idea of ​​pretending to be a passerby and passing by her.

At that time, the cell phone ringing also stopped.

Mu Yuan's eyebrows frowned instantly, and her thoughts were unable to concentrate. She couldn't help but wonder why Huo Min called her and what he would do if he couldn't contact her.

But the embarrassing situation before her did not give her much time to be distracted.

He met Wang Ruier's gaze full of curiosity and doubt.

And Gu Chenyi's reaction of wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Mu Yuan sighed softly in his heart.

If I had known this earlier, I would have let Zhou Yuanmei send her back.

This way you can avoid falling into a Shura-like situation.

Before Wang Ruier's doubts deepened, Mu Yuan had no choice but to take the initiative: "Hello, I'm Gu Chenyi's... friend."

She originally wanted to say that she had nothing to do with Gu Chenyi.

But that would be too fake.

The effect will be counterproductive and will arouse more suspicion.

I can only accept the identity of being friends.

After all, there is no other identity to choose from.

When Gu Chenyi heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his brown eyes.

That look was like glue, sticking to Mu Yuan.

He thought she would try her best to distance herself from him.

"Friends?" Wang Ruier's attention had been mostly on Gu Chenyi, so she naturally noticed the obvious joy on his face.

Almost immediately.

Alarms went off in her head.

During this time, she pestered her family to introduce her to Gu Chenyi.

She had never received a smile from Gu Chenyi.

When they met on the first day, he was obviously dragged here for a blind date. His handsome face was full of unruly expression and he showed no interest in her at all.

She had heard about Gu Chenyi's spontaneous personality.

After learning that he had no other girlfriend except for a girl he had dated five years ago.

Wang Ruier was very happy.

Because he has no one he likes.

But at that time, she didn't know that such a woman existed.

Gu Chenyi didn't even bother to glance at Wang Ruier, his entire attention focused on Mu Yuan: "You want to go back? I'll take you there."

Mu Yuan saw Wang Ruier’s face suddenly turn pale.

It’s a headache. Gu Chenyi is really afraid that others will misunderstand their relationship.

Mu Yuan hurriedly said, "No need. I can go back by myself." She turned to Wang Ruier and said, "Goodbye."

After she said that, she quickly stepped aside from Wang Ruier and left.

"Mu Yuan, wait a minute!" Gu Chenyi wanted to catch up.

But Wang Ruier grabbed him.

He frowned with annoyance: "You go back first."

Wang Ruier refused: "Chen Yi, you promised to accompany me to buy clothes today."

Seeing Mu Yuan’s figure getting farther and farther away.

Gu Chenyi's patience had reached its lowest point, his brown eyes filled with annoyance: "I'm busy, can't you see?"

His tone was too harsh.

Wang Ruier was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes turned red: "Are you really unwilling to stay with me?"

Her voice was filled with tears, and her pitiful appearance as if she was about to cry at any second successfully stopped Gu Chenyi's impatience.

After a few moments of silence, I thought of Gu Zhou's challenge.

He suppressed his reluctance and adjusted his tone: "Sorry, I do have something to do today, you go back first."

Wang Ruier was indignant in her heart, knowing very well that what he meant by "something" was that he was going to look for Mu Yuan.

But she still held back and didn't lose her temper.

She thought to herself that she should go back and investigate the other party thoroughly.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

Now Gu Chenyi has given her a way out, if she continues to be stubborn.

The relationship will only become more strained.

She took a deep breath, her eyes slightly red, and looked pitiful: "I see, my parents want to invite your family to dinner tomorrow night, will you come?"

Gu Chenyi's lips tightened, even though he was unwilling in his heart, it involved his family.

He doesn't have the final say alone.

Especially now, except for him, the entire Gu family is eager to cooperate with the Wang family.

Tomorrow night, even if he doesn't go.

They would also take him away by force.

Not to mention, he made a bet with Gu Zhou in a fit of anger that day.

Gu Zhou provoked him: You have accomplished nothing and you don’t even know how to fight for the opportunities that come to you.

His father took the opportunity to scold him for being useless.

He saw that they attached so much importance to cooperation with the Wang family, but had no opportunities, and the opportunity was instead with him.

So he simply made a bet with Gu Zhou: If he could successfully take over the Wang family and get them to agree to cooperate, he would also become the CEO of the group.

In this way, they can no longer say that he is useless or look down on him.

Gu Zhou taunted: "You can't do it."

Gu Chenyi held his breath and said, "If you don't dare to bet, just say it directly."

He still remembers Gu Zhou's smug look as if he was determined to win.

This stimulated him even more.

He was even more determined to make them look at him with admiration.

He looked at Wang Ruier who was still full of expectation, waiting for his reply.

Gu Chenyi could only respond: "I will go."

Wang Ruier almost immediately jumped up in joy: "I'll ask the chef to prepare your favorite dishes!"

Gu Chenyi responded absentmindedly, his eyes glancing to the side.

He could no longer see the figure he wanted to see the most.

-

In the taxi.

Mu Yuan looked at the two missed calls.

After thinking for a long time, he called back.

Huo Min's voice became increasingly deeper as it passed through the microphone, making Mu Yuan's heart sink.

He asked: [Ready to come back?]

Mu Yuan thought that his first question would be why she didn't answer the phone.

But it didn't.

Her preparedness was forcibly thrown aside: [Prepare to go back.]

Huo Min: [Yes, be careful on the road.]

Mu Yuan bit her lip tightly, hesitated for two seconds, and then took the initiative: [Sorry, I didn't see your phone number just now. What's the matter with you calling me? ]
