Chapter 309 Foolish Filial Piety

Wang Yuanling had to admit it.

For a few seconds, she almost panicked and could hardly maintain her smile.

Especially when meeting Gu Zhou's abyss-like eyes.

My heart trembled uncontrollably.

She rarely felt this way.

I felt stripped bare, naked, with no secrets.

After forcibly suppressing the panic.

She showed her flawless and gentle smile: "Mr. Gu, please stop teasing me. I don't have any secrets."

"Really?" He raised the corners of his lips.

Wang Yuanling lightly touched the fingertips on her thighs and smiled, changing the subject: "Boss Gu, do you often come to see these children alone?"

Gu Zhou said casually, "Not often, occasionally."

"I saw that they were very close to you, so I guess they really like you. However, I didn't know you were going to see them at first. When we got there, I saw you walk straight into their house. I was shocked."

Gu Zhou leaned back, resting his elbows on the sofa, his posture lazy: "You don't even meet the recipient before replying?"

Wang Yuanling's heart heaved uncontrollably, and a hint of weakness lingered in his light voice: "You, know everything?"

So he knew that she picked up the pile of thank-you letters and was planning to reply on behalf of the two elders?

Seeing her surprised face.

Gu Zhou laughed: "Besides replying to the letter, what other purpose could there be for picking it up?"

Wang Yuanling was silent for two seconds: "Please don't tell anyone about this."

Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows casually and said bluntly: "Why? Are you worried that your grandparents' hypocritical true colors will be exposed, or are you worried that others will say you picked things out of the trash can?"

Her eyes flickered, and she played the role of a sensible adopted daughter in a gentle voice: "It's not what Mr. Gu thinks. My grandmother just accidentally lost it."

Gu Zhou mercilessly exposed: "She threw it by mistake, why didn't she pick it up herself."

She could sense it from his tone.

He really didn't have a good impression of the two elders of the Wang family.

That's strange.

Aren't they on the same side?

She suppressed her doubts and maintained her image as a filial adopted daughter.

Her dark eyebrows knitted slightly, and a look of displeasure appeared on her gentle face, but she was actually testing him: "Boss Gu, please don't doubt my elders like this. They are all good people."

Gu Zhou chewed the words lazily and slowly: "Good man?"

What kind of good person is he? He habitually neglects his adopted daughter and beats her because of some unfounded rumors. His palms turned purple from beating her. This is not the kind of force that should be used to discipline a child.

This is not like she is a child at all.

What's even more ridiculous is.

Treat her poorly.

But she still has to bear the burden of the Wang family alone.

He opened his thin lips, and when he met her moist eyes, he swallowed back the many harsh and aggressive words he wanted to say.

The hypocritical old couple met a foolishly filial man.

That's all.

It’s none of his business.

He has always been one who doesn't mind other people's business, but recently he has been making exceptions again and again.

It's no longer like him.

Gu Zhou twitched his lips, not saying sincerely, "Sorry."

"It's okay," she said.

This topic of different opinions is over.

The coconut soup pot with Wenchang chicken in front of me was boiling, bubbling and emitting steam.

But it's quite the opposite.

It's the atmosphere at the table.

Gu Zhou still looked nonchalant, but she felt something was different.

Very similar.

The first night they met in the box.

He was so cold in questioning her intention of asking someone to arrange a party and invite him to dinner.

Wang Yuanling felt more confident.

It seems that Gu Zhou really dislikes the two elders.

Since they don't like it, it means they are not of the same mind, and there is room for her to break through.

She lowered her eyes and took a sip of barley tea, her thoughts scattered.

Finally finished eating.

Wang Yuanling wiped his mouth politely, folded the tissue into a piece, and stuffed it between the dishes.

She raised her head and smiled at Gu Zhou: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, the chicken is delicious."

Gu Zhou responded indifferently: "Yeah."

Wang Yuanling turned her head to pick up her handbag and was about to stand up.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Gu?"

A cry of joy made her stop.

I looked up in confusion and saw a man in a flowered shirt with a round belly walking towards me.

Gu Zhou recognized the person and said in a casual voice, "Boss Yuan, long time no see."

Wang Yuanling watched them shake hands in a friendly manner with curiosity.

Boss Yuan's gaze shifted to her face, his eyes widening with curiosity, and he asked Gu Zhou in a low voice, "Hey, Mr. Gu, who is this beautiful lady?"

Gu Zhou said in a lazy voice: "My partner, Mr. Ling, Mr. Ling, this is the restaurant owner, Mr. Yuan."

Wang Yuanling understood, smiled sweetly, stood up, and extended his right hand: "Hello, Boss Yuan."

Boss Yuan hurriedly shook hands with her.

Then his eyes kept moving between the two of them: "Hello, hello, nice to meet you. Mr. Gu and I have known each other for a long time, and this is the first time he has brought a girl to dinner."

Wang Yuanling narrowed her eyes and joked, "Really? Then I must cherish this historic moment. I got to eat delicious Wenchang chicken and have the honor of becoming the first female partner brought in by Mr. Gu."

That's a beautiful thing to say.

Both of them praised it.

Gu Zhou lowered his eyes and twitched the corner of his mouth calmly.

Boss Yuan was so flattered that he smiled. "Hey, Mr. Ling, if you like this food, next time you come to Province H, you must come here. It's my treat!"

Wang Yuanling smiled sweetly: "Of course, thank you, Boss Yuan."

Maybe he was happy because of her praise.

Or maybe, the old friendship with Gu Zhou.

Boss Yuan ran back to the front desk and took out two gift boxes from under the table. The words "Coconut Rice" were printed on the gift boxes.

Insist on giving it to them.

Wang Yuanling couldn't refuse, and she said gratefully: "Then I will respectfully obey your order. Thank you, Boss Yuan."

Her fingertips were about to touch the handle.

Boss Yuan suddenly turned his wrist and said, "This coconut rice contains a whole coconut. It's quite heavy. It's not worth asking a gentleman like Mr. Gu to carry it."

He also turned slightly, faced Gu Zhou, and winked at him, as if to say: Look, buddy, I've fought for an opportunity for you to show your abilities.

Gu Zhou replied in a dull and casual voice: "Is this just for me?"

Boss Yuan was very disappointed with you and looked at you in disbelief: Why don’t you wake up?

Wang Yuanling sensed that he didn't want to bring it up, so he took the initiative to step forward, smiling as usual: "Don't bother Mr. Gu, I can bring it up myself. Thank you, Mr. Yuan."

"Oh, okay, okay." Boss Yuan could only hand her one of the bags.

Wang Yuanling held the gift bag in both hands.

You’re right.

This gift bag is really not light.

She looked at Gu Zhou, who was holding her bag, and said, "Boss Gu, shall we go?"

Gu Zhou didn't respond to her.

He simply raised his chin towards Boss Yuan and said, "Let's go."

Then he turned and walked towards the door.

He walked so freely.

"Thank you, Boss Yuan. See you next time."

"Oh, okay, take care."

Wang Yuanling quickly glanced at Gu Zhou's receding back, said goodbye to Boss Yuan, and jogged to catch up.

Boss Yuan looked at their matching looks and the dramatic difference in their body shapes.

He shook his head helplessly: "Such a beautiful woman, and Mr. Gu is not interested? What a waste of talent."
