Bai Lan was more concerned about whether Gu Jiju, who was beside him, heard what Sode said.
Sode's plan is nothing more than to bring down Gu Jiju.
If he knew about this, Bai Lan would have a hard time in the future.
It may even threaten Xiaotian's safety.
Thinking of this, Bai Lan just wanted to hang up the phone as soon as possible, and even his expression looked a little flustered.
"Okay, I get it. Give me a seat and I'll be there in a minute."
The phone was put back in the pocket.
Gu Jiju also put out his cigarette and walked over slowly.
Although he had caught some information from eavesdropping just now, Gu Jiju still pretended to know nothing at this moment, just to reassure Bai Lan.
"What does Thord want from you?"
Bai Lan made up a lie, just wanting to get the matter over with as quickly as possible.
"Nothing, just chatting. I left something at his place before, and now I want to get it back. He told me a place and asked me to come over."
Gu Jiju nodded as he walked, his eyes fixed on Bai Lan.
"Then I'll accompany you?"
These four short words made Bai Lan flattered.
If it were the Bai Lan of the past, she would definitely be very happy, but now, Bai Lan would only suspect that the other party was taking advantage of her.
The woman stared at the other person with bated breath, but Gu Jiju's tone became more determined.
"It just so happens that I have nothing to do at the company, so why don't I go with you? I can also give you a ride."
"No!"
After Gu Jiju finished speaking, Bai Lan immediately waved his hands in panic.
Gu Jiju was a little surprised by the look of rejection.
"You still have work to do, so it's not appropriate for you to go with me. Besides, it's nothing important. I can go alone and not bother you."
Bai Lan looked at the time and urgently wanted to escape right now.
Seeing Gu Jiju's calm expression, Bai Lan didn't dare to act rashly in front of him.
"I……"
"Are you leaving now? Do you need me to take you there?"
"No."
Bai Lan forced an awkward smile, which was even stiffer than before.
Gu Jiju didn't force it and watched Bai Lan leave.
His eyes changed from calm to sharp, as if he was about to expose Bai Lan's secret in the next second.
It’s a pity that Gu Jiju didn’t do so.
At that time.
Chen Yuan followed Xu Zhixu back home, and several servants of the Wen family just came out to greet them.
Including Yun and the old lady, they all saw Xu Zhixu at the door.
The man's brain was out of order, but as a rich kid, he naturally knew the rules.
"Hello, old lady."
Although Shen Yuan beside him did not remind him, Xu Zhixu did not forget the etiquette.
The man walked towards him, but the old lady kept frowning and staring at Xu Zhixu's every move.
I always feel that Xu Zhixu is a bit strange.
I can’t tell from his face.
"I've heard of you before."
The old lady was calm and composed, neither hurried nor slow.
In front of everyone, he even looked at Xu Zhixu with an appraising look.
"You look like a well-educated and well-mannered child. Are you in charge of the Xu family?"
Xu Zhixu remained calm and remained as gentle and polite as ever.
It was just like the first time Shen Yuan met Xu Zhixu.
"I guess so. My family trusts me and let me take over in advance."
"That shows you're exceptionally capable."
Xu Zhixu felt a little embarrassed by the old lady's praise.
Amidst all these compliments, Xu Zhixu remained at ease and not at all nervous.
"You're too kind. It's the Xu family who gave me the opportunity to show off. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had such a good opportunity. But Shen Yuan is different. Her abilities are obvious to everyone."
The old lady curled her lips and smiled slightly, looking at Xu Zhixu and then at Chen Yuan, as if she had something to say.
"I haven't known you much before, and I happen to have some time today. If you don't feel rushed, why don't you come in and have a meal before leaving? It's a good opportunity for us to get to know you."
Xu Zhixu was about to refuse.
But Yun Shi chimed in beside him, making it difficult for Xu Zhixu to speak any more.
"I heard that you have taken Shen Yuan to the Xu family several times without authorization. Since your family has reviewed Shen Yuan, we also want to review yours. Come in, let's have a meal together."
Yun's show of force made Xu Zhixu gasp.
The man's expression suddenly changed, but quickly returned to normal.
"Then I'll respectfully obey your command. It's just that I came here in a hurry this time and didn't prepare anything..."
Before he could finish the second half of his sentence, he was interrupted by Yun.
"It's okay. If you want to develop a long-term relationship with Shen Yuan, today's incident is nothing."
Chen Yuan followed closely behind. Although he didn't understand what the old lady Ye Yun meant, he didn't say a word to resist.
But as soon as he entered the room, Yun took his hand and dragged him into the room, so he had no chance to go to the front hall with Xu Zhixu at all.
The old lady pulled Xu Zhixu aside and chatted for a few words, as if she had already seen through him thoroughly.
"Tell me, do you really like Xu Zhixu?"
In the room.
Yun's expression was unpredictable.
Especially when mentioning Xu Zhixu, Yun frowned and blinked.
It looked as if he looked down on Xu Zhixu.
Chen Yuan also saw Yun's concerns and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry for a moment.
"I……"
Shen Yuan was silent for half a second, then shook his head.
"dislike."
Yun heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had made a decision.
"I knew you and Xu Zhixu weren't suitable. How could you possibly be attracted to Xu Zhixu?"
"How did you tell that?"
Chen Yuan herself didn't know that she and Xu Zhixu were not suitable for each other.
It’s just that Gu Jiju hurt herself deeply, and Xu Zhixu happened to be by her side.
