Chapter 48 Weird Light!
Su Mengxue seemed to have discovered her thoughts and felt extremely embarrassed. She blushed and pulled his hand away, and the tape measure slipped from her fingertips in an instant.
She immediately went to pick it up, but when she bent down, she bumped into a warm chest. The burning temperature of Gu Yunting through the fabric of his shirt made her feel a little flustered.
She was about to take a few steps back when Gu Yunting grabbed her wrist again. He picked up the tape measure with his other hand and stuffed it into her hand.
Seeing that he had no intention of letting go, Su Mengxue was about to speak when he approached with a chill and oppressive feeling. He said coldly, "Who were you thinking about when you were making clothes for me?"
Who are you thinking about again? Su Mengxue heard the sarcasm and questioning in Gu Yunting's words, and the turmoil in her heart disappeared in an instant. Her face returned to normal and she chuckled softly, "It seems that my affairs are not under the jurisdiction of Captain Gu."
The moment her lips curled up slightly, she saw the expression in Gu Yunting's eyes darken a little. She crossed her arms at her side and added nonchalantly: "Captain Gu is so busy with work, a small person like me doesn't need Captain Gu to worry about me."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked to the table, hastily wrote down his measurements in a notebook, then turned around and said impatiently, "Captain Gu, the measurements are taken. The deposit is ten yuan."
Gu Yunting pulled out his wallet from his trouser pocket, pulled out a large unity banknote, and quickly walked over to her and placed it on the table. His eyes were as cold as ice. "I happened to see you joking with Shen Yanzhi just now, and also with Lu Yuanzhou before..."
He paused and added, "Speaking of which, you are somewhat related to me and the Gu family. I'd like to remind you that if you are too greedy, you may end up with nothing."
Greedy? He always suspected her maliciously, thinking that she was dating other men in order to climb up the social ladder. However, not everyone cared about them, the second generation.
Su Mengxue concealed her emotions, met his gaze frankly, and said calmly, "Okay, thank you Captain Gu for the reminder."
Seeing her nonchalant expression, Gu Yunting knew she hadn't taken his words to heart. He thought it was unnecessary. Then he realized that if she continued to flirt with others like this, she would definitely be exposed one day. Since it didn't affect him anyway, why should he worry about it?
The corners of his lips tightened into a straight line, and he looked away, explaining his purpose: "I'm not here just to make clothes today, but also because my father asked you to come home for dinner today."
Su Mengxue raised her eyebrows calmly when she heard this. She had few acquaintances in Jiangbei, and the old man of the Gu family was one of them. Since the old man took the initiative to invite her, she should indeed spend more time with him. After all, it would only benefit her and not harm her.
She looked at Gu Yunting and nodded in response, "Okay, I'll go over after work."
After she finished speaking, she saw that Gu Yunting was standing there with no intention of leaving, so she said, "Gu Yunting, if there is nothing else, you can leave now?"
Gu Yunting could feel Su Mengxue's annoyance towards him, and his words of waiting for her to get off work and pick her up later were stuck in his throat and he never said them again.
Finally, he said, "Don't keep the old man waiting too long," then turned around and pushed the door open and left.
When Su Mengxue saw Gu Yunting's departing back, she secretly made up her mind that she would pay him back the money she owed him and never have anything to do with this vicious man again.
She felt her pocket and simply returned less than three hundred yuan to her by Chen Yanzhi. She thought about getting a month's salary in advance from the master, getting the three hundred yuan to pay him back, and using the remaining money to buy some snacks for the old man of the Gu family.
She had already moved out of the Gu family, and according to etiquette, she couldn't come empty-handed.
Not long after, the old master came back from lunch break. She explained the situation and gave him the ten yuan. Then she told him about the advance salary and that she would be going out after work, so there would be no need to cook her dinner here.
She had only worked here for two days and was asking for an advance on her wages. She felt a little embarrassed, but to her surprise, the master not only agreed readily and gave her an advance of fifty yuan, but also told her that she could leave early later.
Just after five o'clock on the wall clock, Su Mengxue was persuaded to go out by the master. Before leaving, the master specifically told her that Zhu's is a century-old brand and their pastries are delicious.
Fortunately, Zhu's was not far from here, and Su Mengxue quickly found the store according to the address given by the master. The workers had not yet finished get off work at this time, so she didn't have to wait long before it was her turn.
She looked at the dazzling array of pastries and the sweet aroma that filled her nose, and felt like her stomach was about to be aroused. Because her budget was limited, she only bought peach cakes, honey three-knife cakes, glutinous rice strips and old-fashioned egg cakes that the elderly liked to eat.
To show her sincerity, she weighed two kilograms of each item, and the four items cost her a total of more than thirty yuan. After deducting the money she planned to return to Gu Yunting, she still had fifteen yuan left in her pocket.
After the saleswoman helped her pack the pastries, she quickly walked towards the bus stop with the things in her hands.
…
Gu Yunting drove to the gate of the Public Security Bureau. The public security comrade in charge of Su Mengxue's case was already waiting for him at the gate. When he saw him get out of the car, he greeted him with a smile.
Gu Yunting had to rush back to the old house soon, so after a few pleasantries, he got straight to the point. He handed the envelope in his pocket to the police officer and said, "Here's 300 yuan. Su Mengxue was embarrassed to come here, so I'm here to pick up her confiscated clothes."
The public security officer took the envelope, opened it, counted it, nodded, and said, "Captain Gu, please come in with me first. We still have some procedures to go through. When the time comes, you can sign the form for her, and then you can pick up the things."
"good."
As soon as Gu Yunting entered the Public Security Bureau, he saw the man who had clashed with Su Mengxue last time arguing with another police officer. He frowned and asked in a serious tone, "Why is he here too?"
The police officer walking beside him looked in the direction he mentioned, then continued walking forward, laughing and shaking his head. "Hey, he's been pestering me all afternoon, saying that Su Mengxue saved his niece, and that he was the one who provoked the trouble last time, saying that he wronged Su Mengxue, so he came to get her confiscated things, and he said he would stay here if you didn't give him anything."
Gu Yunting's eyes darkened, and he suddenly stopped. The police officer saw him stop, and he also stopped and asked in confusion, "Captain Gu, what's wrong with you?"
"Comrade Public Security, I suddenly remembered that I have something urgent to do and need to leave. You can give these things to that man later, and you don't need to tell him that I was here."
………
When Su Mengxue took the last bus to Gu's house, it was already dark. The sentry standing guard at the door did not stop her, and she entered the family compound smoothly.
When she entered the front hall of the Gu family, she saw Aunt Wang coming to her quickly. Aunt Wang took the pastries from her hand and took her all the way to the restaurant.
When they got there, only Gu Changhe was sitting in the main seat, and there was a sumptuous meal on the table.
Su Mengxue raised a smile at the corner of her lips. She was about to say hello to Gu Changhe, but when her eyes met Gu Changhe's back, the smile on her face suddenly froze. She saw that his whole body was glowing, not only red but also purple!
