12 years ago, the third young miss of the Su family was disfigured by a fire. Her parents, deeming her ill-fated, drove her out of the house.
12 years later, she became a sacrifice for a fami...
Chapter 1310 Have you known each other for a long time?
Su Jiuyao wanted to tell Xiao Jun not to follow her anymore, and not to do these weird things, which would only make her feel scared and disgusted.
But Xiao Jun suddenly became uneasy. He seemed to have sensitively noticed the direction of her gaze and hid the book in his hand behind him.
His embarrassed look made Su Jiuyao sigh inwardly, and she finally swallowed her words.
If Xiao Jun was a mentally healthy person, she could certainly speak her mind boldly, but in his case... forget it.
"Sorry, I have something else to do. Let's forget about the coffee."
After saying that, she smiled apologetically at Xiao Jun, turned around and left the rest area.
She could feel Xiao Jun still standing there, perhaps staring at her with his melancholy and strange eyes...
Fortunately, the door of the president's office opened at this time, and Gu Hanye and two other men in suits walked out together.
As soon as she saw Gu Hanye, Su Jiuyao's panicked mood finally found some support.
Gu Hanye also looked at her almost at the same time. He probably didn't expect her to come to the company suddenly, and was a little surprised.
He said something to the two people beside him and walked towards Su Jiuyao.
But after approaching, Gu Hanye looked at her face, frowned, glanced behind her, and asked, "Are you okay?"
She shook her head and said, "It's okay, you go ahead and do your work."
Gu Hanye patted her back, offering her silent comfort. He glanced behind him and said, "Those two are Xiao's CEO and Xiao's regional manager for the northern region. I'll take you to say hello."
Su Jiuyao calmed down her panic and nodded.
Gu Hanye gently put his arm around her waist, walked up to the two guests, and made a brief introduction.
"This is my wife, Su Jiuyao..."
After Gu Hanye finished the introduction, Su Jiuyao also politely greeted the two of them.
Then Gu Hanye said to her, "Wait for me in the office first, I'll be there soon."
She nodded obediently and entered the president's office.
She knew that Gu Hanye wanted to see the guests off personally, after all, Xiao Group was an important partner.
As for the two people just now, one was the executive president and the other was the regional manager. The fact that the two executives came to Gu’s headquarters in person to meet was enough to show the other party’s sincerity. Gu Hanye naturally couldn’t be too negligent and should see them off in person.
After Jiuyao entered the president's office, Gu Hanye made a gesture to invite her in, and the three of them walked forward while talking.
They first came to the rest area, and Gu Hanye glanced at Xiao Jun who was sitting on the sofa.
Xiao Jun lowered his head, clasped his hands tightly together, his knuckles turned white, and he looked very painful, as if he had suffered a great blow.
Gu Hanye thought that Jiuyao had just come from the rest area, and her face looked very bad. Although he didn't know what happened exactly, Gu Hanye could guess that Jiuyao and Xiao Jun had met.
It must be something that this strange-minded Mr. Xiao said that made Jiuyao nervous.
Because ever since she came back from Mangrove Manor, Xiao Jun has left her with a serious psychological trauma.
The most important thing now is to send Xiao’s people away first, and then go back to the office to ask Jiuyao what is going on.
Mr. He, the executive president of Xiao Corporation, was a middle-aged man. He had already walked quickly to Xiao Jun and said, "Mr. Jun, we have finished talking. Let's go back."
Xiao Jun raised his head and looked at Gu Hanye with a pair of red eyes.
His melancholy and painful eyes made Gu Hanye glance at him slightly, and then he looked back at him frankly.
In the end, it was Xiao Jun who shifted his gaze first. He stood up and walked towards the elevator.
Faced with this situation, the two Xiao executives didn't bother to exchange too many pleasantries with Gu Hanye. They said goodbye, looked forward to the early cooperation between the Gu and Xiao families, and followed Young Master Xiao downstairs.
Gu Hanye also returned to his office.
Jiuyao was sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of hot water in her hand, her eyes staring straight ahead, not knowing what she was thinking.
Gu Hanye came to Jiuyao, took the hot water cup from her hand, put it on the coffee table, and shook her hand. "What are you thinking about?"
Jiuyao looked at him with a frown, "Have they left?"
"Let's go." Gu Hanye helped her tuck one side of her hair behind her ear. "Did that Xiao Jun say anything to you?"
Jiuyao pursed her lips. "He wanted to buy me coffee, but I refused."
It didn't sound like anything special, so Gu Hanye continued to ask, "Then why do you look so bad?"
Jiuyao looked at him and said seriously, "I suspect that Xiao Jun has known me for a long time."
"Why do you say that?"
As far as Gu Hanye knew, that Young Master Xiao had suffered from trauma in his childhood and had developed autism. He rarely went out and hardly communicated with people outside. How could such a closed-minded person know Jiuyao?
Jiuyao told him her analysis. First, the way Xiao Jun looked at her was very different, as if he had known her for a long time. Secondly, the dog named Patton showed her a very unusual kindness, which was also abnormal.
Then she told Gu Hanye that Xiao Jun followed her to the library and picked up her books.
She thought it was unlikely that Xiao Jun fell in love with her at first sight after watching her play Frisbee with the dog on the lawn.
So they must have known each other before, but she had no impression of Xiao Jun at all.
Seeing Jiuyao getting more and more nervous, Gu Hanye pulled her into his arms, patted her on the back, and said half-jokingly, "So, at the engagement party, when I saw you from afar, I couldn't help but want to get closer. After we danced, I wanted to marry you. Was I abnormal too?"
The little woman pushed him away and frowned, "I'm serious about this."
Gu Hanye stopped joking and said seriously, "I will thoroughly investigate Xiao Jun's past to see if he and you have ever had any connection. Regardless of whether he knew you before or fell in love with you at first sight, I will not let him hurt you. Believe me."
Jiuyao pursed her lips and nodded: "Maybe I'm making a big deal out of nothing."
"That Mr. Xiao is indeed a little strange. It's normal for you to be afraid of him. Don't think too much about it."
Gu Hanye held Jiuyao in his arms and comforted her patiently.
But in fact, he also felt that Xiao Jun treated Jiuyao very differently, and the big dog of the Xiao family also behaved as if Jiuyao had raised it before.
Another thing that puzzled Gu Hanye was what exactly Xiao Jun was here for today.
Given Xiao Jun's personality, he would not get involved in the affairs of the family group. After he arrived, he just sat outside waiting.
No matter what, it is indeed necessary to conduct a thorough investigation into this strange Young Master Xiao.
At the same time, Gu Hanye will also let his men continue to secretly protect Jiuyao and ensure her safety.
After holding the little woman for a while and feeling that she had calmed down, Gu Hanye asked, "By the way, why did Yaoyao come to see me all of a sudden?"
