Xu Zhixu's words made the other three people present stunned for half a second.
In an instant, Chen Yuan's face changed drastically, and he didn't want to continue to pester her at all.
On the other hand, Gu Jiju's expression seemed even uglier.
This man clearly said that he didn't like Bai Lan, and after knowing about the child, he wanted to stop caring about Bai Lan.
Nowadays, everyone comes to buy hardware, so why bother to care about whether they like it or not?
I guess all those determinations and complaints were just acting in front of Shen Yuan.
"yes."
Sure enough, Bai Lan smiled and agreed to Xu Zhixu's words.
He even made a few jokes and took the initiative to start a conversation.
This made Gu Jiju and Shen Yuan beside them even more embarrassed.
"What about you two? Are you preparing for your engagement? I see you two have been dating for a long time, so you should be getting married soon, right? When do you plan to do it?"
Shen Yuan didn't want to get involved in the topic.
In secret, Chen Yuan tugged at the corner of Xu Zhixu's clothes, and then hinted at him with her eyes.
However, before even a glance could reach her, Xu Zhixu started talking to himself, saying something that made Shen Yuan unhappy.
"Soon. We get along very well. I think marriage is on the agenda, but definitely not as soon as you guys."
As he was speaking, the clerk behind him had already brought out the latest models of the bride series.
Compared with the style on the counter, this one is more flamboyant and luxurious.
But Bai Lan just likes this kind of things.
In front of Shen Yuan, Bai Lan also has to pretend to be well.
"Let's take this one."
Bai Lan raised her hand and pointed at one of the rings, speaking very charmingly.
His eyes fell on Gu Jiju with a burning look like a thread.
"I like this one. I think the style suits me very well. What do you think?"
Gu Jiju only wanted to escape and didn't care what Bai Lan chose.
"Well, if you like, this is it."
After saying this, Gu Jiju immediately turned around and faced Bai Lan.
Seeing this, Shen Yuan, who was standing beside him, felt mixed emotions.
"Take your time to choose. Gu Jiju and I will leave first."
Before leaving, Bai Lan gave Chen Yuan an obvious smile.
The curve of his lips became more and more weird, which made Shen Yuan feel uncomfortable.
Xu Zhixu patted the back of Chen Yuan's hand and took Chen Yuan out of the gold shop.
"You haven't forgotten Gu Jiju yet, have you?"
Xu Zhixu's sudden question made Shen Yuan feel embarrassed.
The woman looked up at him, and the moment they looked at each other, she didn't know what to say.
This man is really good at guessing people's minds.
Even if Chen Yuan didn't want to say it, Xu Zhixu would continue to force her to tell him.
"I've forgotten it a long time ago. He has nothing to do with me now."
Chen Yuan pretended to be relaxed, but in his heart he was doubting Gu Jiju's intentions.
What on earth does this man want to do?
——
"The project is ready, and we have the evidence against Gu Jiju. All we need is your people. When can they come?"
At that time, Sode was just preparing to deal with Gu Jiju.
Everything is ready, all that is missing is someone familiar with Gu Jiju to come and cooperate with him to bring him down.
And the only candidate is Bai Lan.
Thord looked relaxed, as if he was very confident about the matter.
"I'll bring her to see you this afternoon. She has all of Gu Jiju's documents and information. Don't worry, she will definitely give us a satisfactory answer."
Soder laughed happily, and the man opposite him naturally became arrogant.
The two looked at each other, and the moment they narrowed their eyes seemed to be filled with countless emotions.
"Are you sure? There aren't many opportunities this time. If you miss it, you won't know when you'll have another chance. If Bai Lan really has these things... you know, it's best to use them as soon as possible."
Thord naturally knew this.
The man nodded, took out his cell phone, and panicked for a moment in front of the person opposite him.
Immediately afterwards, a phone call was made to Bai Lan.
At this moment, Bai Lan was shopping with Gu Jiju.
The moment Bai Lan saw the note, he felt unlucky and quickly hung up the phone.
"Anything going on?"
But Gu Jiju's eyes were quicker and he also saw the word "Sode".
The man lowered his head and asked, and suddenly stopped walking on the third floor.
Bai Lan's eyes flashed with panic, but he quickly found an excuse to get away with it.
"No, it's a harassing call."
Gu Jiju did not give Bai Lan any face and exposed him immediately.
"But I just saw a note that said Thord..."
Gu Jiju tilted his head, his eyes extremely clear.
It’s as if he doesn’t understand the conspiracy between the two of them.
However, the matter between Bai Lan and Sode had long been in the hands of Gu Jiju.
"Oh, really?"
Bai Lan pretended to be ignorant and blinked at Gu Jiju in an attempt to get away with it.
But Gu Jiju didn't give Bai Lan any chance at all.
He even stopped and waited for Bai Lan to answer the call.
"That's perfect. I don't have anything else to do anyway. Don't delay your work. Since they called you, just answer it."
"Besides, Thord was your bodyguard and part-time driver before. You can't just forget about him so quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Lan's phone rang again.
Bai Lan's heart tightened and he subconsciously wanted to hang up.
But Gu Jiju was faster and grabbed the phone to answer it for her, and then returned the phone to Bai Lan openly.
"Well, you go ahead and do your work."
Sood's voice on the other end of the line was particularly harsh.
Bai Lan was afraid that Gu Jiju would hear her, so she kept pressing the volume button.
"What's up??"
"Why are you being so blunt? I can't talk to you if I have nothing to do? And you actually hung up on me. Did I ever tell you that I was calling you because I had something to talk to you about? What are you doing?"
Bai Lan observed Gu Jiju's expression and found that he remained calm.
Maybe the man didn't hear the conversation between him and Soder?
Bai Lan took a deep breath, avoided his gaze, and pretended to be relaxed.
"Oh, if you have something to say, just say it. I'm out and it's not convenient for me to call. If it's not urgent, it's not too late to wait until I get back."
Soder still has friends around him.
In the past, Sode would have definitely understood Bai Lan's hint.
It’s a pity that he doesn’t understand what Bai Lan means now.
The man even felt that Bai Lan didn't give him face.
In front of his brother, he actually hung up his phone.
Thord spoke with authority, his tone almost commanding.
"The matter I told you about earlier has been settled. We'll meet today to discuss it in detail. Also, bring all the documents with you. Don't leave anything behind. You're the key person in this process."
Bai Lan observed Gu Jiju's expression again and found that he was smoking as if nothing had happened.
Her slightly bent body leaned against the wall, and her lazy look really made Bai Lan's heart beat.
Little did he know that the man's ears perked up.
Although Soder's voice was intermittent and unclear, Gu Jiju was still trying to catch it.
"Does it have to be today?"
Sode observed his brother's eyes, and in order not to disappoint him, he had no choice but to let Bai Lan come over now.
"Of course, I've already made an agreement with someone. You must not lose face with me."
