Chapter 33 Gu Yunting’s warning!
Gu Yunting pushed open the car door. His eyes passed over Lu Yuanzhou and fell on Su Mengxue on his back, then on her bare feet, and finally stopped at her hand on Lu Yuanzhou's shoulder. His brows frowned slightly.
He slowly approached the two of them, each step being extremely heavy.
Su Mengxue was just about to say hello to Gu Yunting when the coldness emanating from his body made her throat tight. She swallowed the greeting back and her fingertips unconsciously clenched Lu Yuanzhou's collar.
"Brother Yunting, why are you here at this time?"
Lu Yuanzhou didn't notice the subtle changes on Gu Yunting's face. When he saw Gu Yunting suddenly appear, he felt a little happy in his heart. The two of them could go back with the car.
Brother Yunting? Su Mengxue glanced at Lu Yuanzhou in surprise. From the tone of his words, she could tell that he not only knew Gu Yunting, but they were also very familiar with each other. She frowned. She didn't remember meeting Lu Yuanzhou at the Gu family's birthday party.
Just as she was feeling puzzled, Gu Yunting stopped not far from them. He put his hands in his pockets, glanced at Lu Yuanzhou, and said calmly, "I'm just passing by. Why are you here?"
As the last syllable fell, the corner of his eye vaguely swept across Su Mengxue's face.
When Su Mengxue saw Gu Yunting suddenly looking at her, she suddenly felt uneasy for no reason. She pursed her lips and unconsciously shifted her gaze.
Lu Yuanzhou shrugged and chuckled helplessly: "Brother Yunting, we went to the black market to sell things, and we happened to run into the police patrol, so... we ended up like this."
Go to the black market to sell things? Gu Yunting then noticed the bag in Su Mengxue's hand. His eyes suddenly darkened. He only gave her 300 yuan, so how could she be reduced to selling things on the black market?
He suppressed the emotions swirling in his eyes, looked at Lu Yuanzhou and sneered, then calmly asked, "Could it be that the Lu family is still short of money?"
Lu Yuanzhou's Adam's apple rolled heavily, and he said truthfully: "I'm just helping."
This really confirmed Gu Yunting's suspicions, and his expression grew even more serious. "Selling things on the black market is illegal, especially since you're a doctor. Do you think you'll lose your job because of this?"
He paused, his tone becoming more serious: "Consider the consequences and impact before doing anything in the future."
Although he said this to Lu Yuanzhou, his words were actually directed at Su Mengxue.
Su Mengxue was of course aware that Gu Yunting was saying this to her. He was reminding her not to do anything that would harm the Gu family. She curled her lips and suddenly tightened her fingers around the bundle.
Lu Yuanzhou was still in the dark. He nodded and said, "I understand, Brother Yunting."
After he finished speaking, he realized that he had not yet introduced them to each other. He first looked at Gu Yunting and said with a smile: "Brother Yunting, this is..."
"No introductions needed, get in the car."
Before Lu Yuanzhou could finish his words, Gu Yunting turned around, walked back to the car, and slammed the door shut.
Lu Yuanzhou turned to look at Su Mengxue and whispered, "Mengxue, don't take it to heart. Brother Yunting may look cold on the outside, but he's actually a very nice person."
Su Mengxue knew that Gu Yunting valued reputation as much as Gu Changhe. She lived in the Gu family but went to the black market to sell things, so he was so angry.
She was thinking that she must make enough money to move out as soon as possible, so as not to be disliked by the Gu family. She curled her lips slightly and said lightly: "It's okay, he is not important to me anyway."
Lu Yuanzhou had been feeling uneasy ever since Gu Yunting got off the car. She was afraid that Su Mengxue would be attracted to this influential figure in Jiangbei. When she heard her say this, she felt a lot more relieved.
He raised his hand again and lifted Su Mengxue onto his back, unable to hide the smile in the corner of his eyes: "It's getting late, and your family must be waiting anxiously. I'll carry you to the car."
As he said that, Lu Yuanzhou carried Su Mengxue on his back and walked quickly to the front of the car, opened the back door, helped her to the back seat, and then sat in himself.
After the jeep started, he turned his head and asked, "Mengxue, where do you live? I'll ask Brother Yunting to take you there first."
Su Mengxue's eyes unconsciously drifted to the driver's seat. Seeing Gu Yunting's jawline straightened, and looking at what Gu Yunting had just said, she knew in her heart that he didn't want Lu Yuanzhou to know about their relationship, and it was even more inappropriate to directly tell him the address of Gu's house.
Just when she didn't know how to get away with it, Gu Yunting spoke up: "Yuanzhou, your home is close to here, I'll take you there first."
Lu Yuanzhou frowned slightly. Su Mengxue was a girl, how could he leave her alone with a strange man like Gu Yunting? She would definitely feel uncomfortable.
He unconsciously raised his voice and blurted out, "Brother Yunting, how can that be?"
Gu Yunting paused and added, "Are you worried about the two of us being together?"
Lu Yuanzhou realized that he had overreacted a bit, and he explained unnaturally: "No, Brother Yunting, you and Mengxue don't know each other. I was afraid that you two would feel uncomfortable if I left you alone."
"I have to rush back to the army tomorrow morning and don't want to waste time taking a detour." Gu Yunting's tone was flat, but he did not allow for any objection.
"Brother Yunting, but we still don't know where Mengxue lives..."
Su Mengxue interrupted at the right time: "Lu Yuanzhou, let me take you there first. My home is not nearby."
Seeing Su Mengxue say the same thing, Lu Yuanzhou had no choice but to nod in agreement. He didn't know if he was overthinking it, but he felt like Gu Yunting was acting strangely today, and Su Mengxue was also different.
Just as he was thinking about it, the car suddenly stopped and he heard Gu Yunting say, "We're here, get out."
Although Lu Yuanzhou was reluctant to leave Su Mengxue, fortunately they could still meet tomorrow. Thinking of this, he responded and turned his head to Su Mengxue and whispered, "Mengxue, remember our agreement. See you tomorrow."
He deliberately made this sentence vague because he didn't want Gu Yunting to know that the two of them were going to the black market again.
Su Mengxue responded: "Okay, see you tomorrow."
Lu Yuanzhou had just opened the car door when he suddenly remembered that Su Mengxue was still barefoot. He turned to Gu Yunting and said, "Brother Yunting, wait a moment. I'll go get Mengxue a pair of slippers and be right back!"
Su Mengyu waved her hands hurriedly: "Lu Yuanzhou, there's really no need..."
"Wait for me, I'll be back soon!" Lu Yuanzhou said as he jumped out of the car and rushed into the family compound.
As soon as Lu Yuanzhou's figure disappeared, Gu Yunting stepped on the accelerator and started the car.
Neither of them spoke during the entire journey, and the atmosphere in the car instantly dropped to freezing point.
It wasn't until Gu Yunting drove the jeep into the family compound and turned off the engine in front of the Gu family's gate that Su Mengxue saw him getting out of the car and whispered, "Gu Yunting, don't worry. If I get caught by the police in the black market, I will definitely not be implicated..."
"Su Mengxue," Gu Yunting said in a deep voice, looking straight ahead, "Before you leave the Gu family, I hope you can behave yourself."
