Chapter 178 Haunting
Gu Suixing was ultimately unable to use the gift Huo Huaisui gave him on his birthday night.
It was as if Huo Huai'an had placed a tracking device on him; he called him almost as soon as he left home, inviting him to get together.
Huo Huai'an brought up their brotherhood on the other end of the phone, and since this brother was still somewhat useful, Gu Suixing had no choice but to oblige him and go to the appointment.
Naturally, I didn't forget to call my great-grandfather at home to report my itinerary before I left.
"Go on, go on, but remember you're still injured, so don't drink." Lu Fengqing didn't dare say that she wished he wouldn't come back tonight so she and Rui Rui could have some alone time.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Suixing put down his phone and instructed Acheng to turn the car around.
Everyone knew that Gu Suixing had just been in a car accident, so instead of meeting at a bar or KTV, they met at a private restaurant with a lot of privacy.
When Gu Suixing arrived, everyone else had already arrived, and the head seat was reserved for him.
"President Gu is here." Everyone greeted Gu Suixing as he entered.
Most of the people present had some form of business relationship with Gu Suixing. Huo Huai'an had called Gu Suixing out today simply to reassure his business partners.
After a few minutes of small talk, they started chatting about stocks, the market, and the economy.
Gu Suixing usually just listens quietly, but whenever he speaks, he always gets straight to the point, and his thinking is as meticulous and logical as ever.
Seeing this, the businessmen present knew that Gu Suixing hadn't damaged his head and was still quite sharp.
Gu Suixing took in the expressions of these people without showing any emotion, then leaned close to Huo Huai'an and whispered a few words in his ear.
Huo Huai'an nodded, got up and went out. When he came back, he was carrying two bottles of wine. "Come on, let's not just eat, let's have some wine. If Sui Xing can't drink, we'll drink it ourselves."
After accepting Huo Huai'an's invitation, Gu Suixing asked Acheng to go back and get the wine, as he had just asked Huo Huai'an to go out and bring the wine in.
A connoisseur glanced at it and quipped, "Good wine!"
Huo Huai'an smiled and said, "It was not easy to get these, so these are the only two bottles I have."
Some people who hadn't originally planned to drink were immediately tempted to drink after hearing this.
At dinner parties, it's inevitable to deal with alcohol, and drinking too much can upset your stomach, so it's best to avoid it if possible. However, there's a proper way to "avoid" alcohol: it means not drinking indiscriminately. But if you come across a collectible or top-tier wine, you have to try it, even if it means getting a stomach ache later.
After drinking, these people stopped talking about stocks, the market, and the economy.
"Speaking of which, didn't Mr. Chen just get married last month? How could he bear to leave his beautiful wife and run away?"
"It's just a business marriage. She's a pampered young lady, and while she may be spoiled, she's not really spoiled by nature."
"Hey, it's normal for beautiful women to be a little wild."
The man addressed as "General Manager Chen" waved his hand, looking like he didn't want to say anything more.
The others, being sensible, stopped talking.
Someone suddenly said, "Speaking of beautiful women, I'm reminded of the eldest daughter of the Lu family."
In any setting, whenever the topic of beautiful women comes up, someone will inevitably mention Miss Lu.
The mention of the eldest daughter of the Lu family piqued the interest of many present.
Huo Huai'an subconsciously looked at Gu Suixing.
Gu Suixing sipped her tea calmly, her eyes slightly lowered, making it impossible to discern her emotions.
"What, you dare to covet that young lady without a net worth of several hundred billion?"
A middle-aged man with a large belly, flushed cheeks and a blurry, unfocused gaze suddenly asked, "Which Lu family?"
"That Lu family? There's no Lu family. They lost hundreds of billions recently."
"She is indeed beautiful." The middle-aged man relaxed and leaned back in his chair, sighing softly, "I've lived for over forty years and I've never seen anyone so beautiful. For the first time in my life, I've experienced the feeling of being 'haunted by dreams' with her."
They were all men, and the others immediately understood from the middle-aged man's expression.
Someone asked in surprise, "What? Has Mr. Huang taken a fancy to that young lady?"
The middle-aged man grinned, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Someone immediately shook their head: "Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. The Lu family is not easy to handle. Besides, that young lady may be beautiful, but she doesn't look like she's obedient."
The middle-aged man, swaying his head drunkenly, said: "Obedience is something that can be trained. The Lu family is about to collapse. Once she falls into my hands, it won't be too late to train her slowly."
The group of people looked at each other in disbelief, never expecting to hear such words from this General Manager Huang.
This Mr. Huang amassed his fortune by marrying a wealthy heiress, with the help of his father-in-law. His wife, Mrs. Huang, is incredibly shrewish, and yet Mr. Huang still dares to covet other women? The eldest daughter of the Lu family, no less! He must be out of his mind!
In the silence, Gu Suixing put down his teacup and gave a silent, mocking laugh. "Is that so?"
The two words, spoken neither too loudly nor too softly, clearly reached the ears of everyone present, leaving them momentarily unsure of what the young master meant.
Only Mr. Huang remained immersed in his own world, confidently laughing, "Just wait and see."
Huo Huai'an didn't dare to look at the expression on the face of the ancestor beside him, and lowered his head to touch his nose.
What Mr. Huang drank was probably not alcohol, but a courage booster!
This Mr. Huang is in big trouble for daring to make a move on the young lady.
