Chapter 42: When the love rivals meet, they are extremely jealous!
Gu Yunting raised his eyes and was about to speak when the public security officer standing beside him had already frowned. "How can you be so ungrateful, comrade? Thanks to Captain Gu for running around for you, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to get out so quickly."
Su Mengxue was startled and blurted out, "You said that Gu Yunting helped me with this?"
Seeing her suspicion, the public security comrade frowned and said, "Why would I lie to you?"
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Gu Yunting beside him and said, "Captain Gu, I have other things to deal with, so I'll leave first." After that, he looked at Su Mengxue a few more times before leaving quickly.
Su Mengxue was confused and couldn't figure it out. She originally thought that it was Gu Yunting who reported her, but the public security comrades said that it was Gu Yunting who helped her.
What is going on?
Just when she was confused, Lu Yuanzhou took a half step forward and approached Gu Yunting. He smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Yunting, thank you for helping us."
We? Gu Yunting's Adam's apple rolled hard. Lu Yuanzhou's words made it sound like he and Su Mengxue were very close. How could it be his turn to say thank you just because he helped Su Mengxue?
He clenched his fingers tightly at his side, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "The car is outside. I'll take you back."
After saying that, he strode out.
After the two of them got in the car, Gu Yunting frowned again. Su Mengyu and Lu Yuanzhou sat in the back seat together. Did they think he was the driver? He had never found Lu Yuanzhou so annoying before.
After the car started, Lu Yuanzhou smiled at Gu Yunting and said, "Brother Yunting, let's take Mengxue home first. She hasn't returned home all night, and her family must be waiting anxiously."
Su Mengxue was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Gu Yunting reply in a cold voice: "Your home is closer, I'll take you first."
A hint of doubt flashed in Lu Yuanzhou's eyes. The Public Security Bureau and the black market were located in the east and west, which were completely opposite directions. Last time at the black market, Gu Yunting said that his home was close, so he was sent there first. How come he ended up at the Public Security Bureau, and his home was still close to home?
His eyes darkened, and he turned to look at Su Mengxue, asking puzzledly: "Mengxue, where do you live?"
Su Mengxue suddenly felt a little uneasy, and her eyes unconsciously drifted forward, hoping that Gu Yunting could help her smooth things over.
After a few seconds of silence, Gu Yunting finally spoke again: "Lu Yuanzhou, are you questioning my ability to plan a route?"
Lu Yuanzhou could hear the unhappiness in Gu Yunting's words, and he hurriedly explained: "How could that be, Brother Yunting, I just felt..."
"I don't want you to feel it, I want me to feel it."
As soon as these words were spoken, the air froze instantly.
Su Mengxue frowned when she heard the domineering CEO's remarks. She felt that this sentence sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where it was.
The smile on Lu Yuanzhou's face froze, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the watch strap, and after a while he replied awkwardly: "Okay then."
Su Mengxue's eyes swept across Lu Yuanzhou's embarrassed face and fell on Gu Yunting's straight back. She glared at Gu Yunting and cursed him in her heart. This bastard always has a sour face. Can't he just speak properly?
She paused and said to Gu Yunting, "Captain Gu, when we get to the Hepingli family compound, I won't bother you to give me a ride. Lu Yuanzhou and I will get off together."
She had missed the meeting with Shen Yanzhi today. After she came out, she had originally planned to go to the Hepingli Family Compound to find Shen Yanzhi as soon as possible. She wanted to explain to him the reason why she stood him up, and hoped that he could give her a few more days regarding the jade pendant.
Seeing that she was also getting off at Hepingli, Lu Yuanzhou's eyes flashed with surprise. He immediately asked, "Mengxue, aren't you going home first? Why are you going to Hepingli too?"
"I'm going to meet a friend." The moment the words fell, she could clearly feel from the corner of her eye that Gu Yunting's back, who was sitting in the driver's seat, suddenly tensed up.
"Do you have any friends who also live in Hepingli? Do I know them?"
Su Mengxue frowned slightly. Lu Yuanzhou and Shen Yanzhi lived in the same compound. How could she be so stupid as to only realize it now? If Lu Yuanzhou really knew Shen Yanzhi, maybe he could help her get a word in with him.
"His name is Chen Yanzhi, do you know him?" Su Mengyu's voice was filled with anxiety and excitement.
As soon as he finished speaking, before Su Mengxue could wait for Lu Yuanzhou's reply, she saw Gu Yunting suddenly turn the steering wheel, and the car body suddenly tilted to the right. Su Mengxue was unable to react in time and was shaken by the strong force and crashed straight into the car door.
…
Fortunately, Lu Yuanzhou grabbed her in the first place, otherwise she would have been hurt.
After the car started smoothly again, Su Mengxue glared at the culprit in the driver's seat and said angrily, "Gu Yunting, how do you drive?"
Gu Yunting's eyes darkened, and he suppressed his emotions and said calmly, "I was distracted just now. There was a roadblock I didn't see."
Distracted? How could someone as calm, indifferent, and cold as him be distracted? Su Mengxue felt that this reason was too far-fetched.
She was about to say something else when she saw Lu Yuanzhou looking at her and asked nervously, "Mengxue, are you okay?"
Su Mengxue shook her head, then thought about the previous topic and asked again: "Lu Yuanzhou, do you know him?"
Seeing her anxious look, Lu Yuanzhou felt a little uneasy, but he nodded calmly: "Not only do I know him, I'm very familiar with him."
Su Mengxue's eyes lit up: "Lu Yuanzhou, you are very familiar with him? That's great!"
Lu Yuanzhou's heart began to beat fast. He pursed his lips and asked doubtfully, "Why are you in such a hurry to see him instead of going home first?"
Su Mengxue was about to speak when she noticed Gu Yunting in the driver's seat. Then she thought about the black market and decided that the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
She leaned close to Lu Yuanzhou's ear and spoke briefly to him.
When Lu Yuanzhou saw this, his worries instantly vanished. He smiled and said, "When we get off the car, I'll go with you to find him. Don't worry, there will be no problem."
When Su Mengxue heard Lu Yuanzhou's reply, she smiled. She said to Lu Yuanzhou from the bottom of her heart, "Lu Yuanzhou, it's great to know you."
It was the first time Lu Yuanzhou had been told this by a girl, especially one who had made his heart flutter. He was so happy that his heart blossomed. He scratched his head and replied shyly, "Mengxue, I'm glad to meet you, too."
Seeing that the two of them were talking so passionately, Gu Yunting was afraid that if he didn't speak up to stop them, they might start dating in front of him.
He gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes darkened, and he said in a calm tone: "Su Mengxue, you didn't go home last night, and the old man didn't sleep all night. He's old, don't let him worry about you anymore, come back with me first."
