☆, Chapter 45 The atmosphere is wrong
Gu Ran silently took it to heart, and later realized that the atmosphere was a little off.
Wasn't she here to recharge? Why was she acting like she was on a blind date?
We also get to know each other’s favorite flavors...
Once his thoughts went astray, Gu Ran suddenly felt uncomfortable. Looking at Bai Yifan, who was dressed in a suit and tie opposite him, he thought of the outfit he had carefully selected and matched for twenty minutes before going out.
Both of them were dressed surprisingly formally.
I didn’t think much about it when I was dressing up, and I didn’t think much about it when I went out, but now that I am sitting here with Bai Yifan, a “talented man and beautiful woman”, I am thinking a lot.
Why didn't she go out wearing just a white T-shirt and shorts like usual? Was it because Bai Yifan gave her the impression of being very refined?
I wanted to be worthy of the other person's dignity...so I took it a little more seriously...
But why should we be worthy of each other?
"Um..." Gu Ran hesitated and said, "You suddenly had no work today, so you came out to eat and relax?"
"Yeah." Bai Yifan smiled and nodded, his posture relaxed and casual, "I just happen to have time."
"That's good…"
It's not a special date, just a chance to relax.
Gu Ran was finally less nervous and his posture relaxed.
"I've been bored at home these past few days. I haven't gone out much since I came back from Gu's house."
"Gu's house..." Bai Yifan suddenly said, "I thought you had already gone there and didn't have time to come out."
"Where are we going?" Gu Ran was confused.
"The old house of the Gu family." Bai Yifan said.
As he finished speaking, the waiter knocked on the door and came to serve the food.
The conversation was interrupted. After all the dishes were served, the waiter poured red wine for the two of them and then left.
Gu Ran then continued to ask about what happened before, "Why did you think I went to the Gu family's old house?"
It's only been a few days since she came back.
Dad Gu and Old Man Gu don't have a good relationship, so it's impossible for him to go there for no reason, and he won't let the younger generations like them go there either.
"Don't you know about the Gu family?" Bai Yifan picked up the goblet and shook it gently. The rose-red liquid slowly swirled in the transparent cup.
Gu Ran's eyes followed the wine in the glass and asked, "What's going on with the Gu family?"
Is there any new news?
"Mr. Gu has passed away." Bai Yifan said, slowly stopping his hand movements. After the wine swirled a few times in the glass, it slowly calmed down.
Gu Ran withdrew his gaze from the wine glass, suspecting that he had misheard, "Who died?"
"Mr. Gu, your...grandfather." Bai Yifan said, "I also received the news this morning. I heard it happened last night."
"Why did he die again?" Gu Ran was a little dumbfounded and unconsciously used the word "again".
This can't be blamed on her, since it was Old Man Gu who had faked his death before.
After hearing what Bai Yifan said, her first reaction was that Mr. Gu was going to make another mistake.
Thinking of the farce a few days ago, Bai Yifan was helpless and said, "This time it should be true. It happened suddenly last night. The ambulance went there. I heard it was a heart attack."
The reason why he was sure it was true was that he would not make the same mistake twice.
No matter what Mr. Gu's purpose was in planning that farce last time, the final result has obviously been achieved.
Then there is no need to stage a fake death scene, especially since it happened so soon in time.
If the same drama is performed too many times, it will create the effect of crying wolf. After all, Mr. Gu is a director of a listed company and he would not be so inappropriate.
Moreover, the news of Mr. Gu’s death has been notified to many people in the circle. The funeral is scheduled for tomorrow, and everyone in the circle will attend the funeral.
Last time, only people from the Gu family were notified. Among the friends in the circle, only Bai Qingyuan was in charge of the overall situation. Even Bai Yifan went with them because he was worried about his father.
The story of Mr. Gu faking his death was kept within a certain scope and was not spread outside. Only those who were involved knew the inside story.
It’s different now. Just the few friends that Bai Yifan knows have confirmed that they have received the notification.
"It should be true this time." Bai Yifan said.
"Really?" Gu Ran still didn't feel it was real. After all, the incident of Old Man Gu turning back to life had just happened. "Did Old Man Gu really die of a heart attack last night?"
"Yeah." Bai Yifan nodded, "My father will be there this afternoon."
That's why he's so free this afternoon.
Bai Qingyuan originally wanted him to go with him, but Bai Yifan was really tired of the noise made by those people in the Gu family, so he simply stood Bai Qingyuan up and asked Gu Ran to come out.
In fact, he was not entirely sure that Gu Ran would have time, so he was quite surprised that Gu Ran agreed to him. He thought that Gu Ran was also tired of the farce in the Gu family.
I didn’t expect that Gu Ran didn’t know about this at all.
"Do you want to go over and take a look? I mean..." Bai Yifan glanced at the steaming dishes on the table, "After we finish this meal."
"I..." Gu Ran hesitated.
She herself had no feelings for Mr. Gu, and whether he lived or died had nothing to do with her.
But he just faked his death once, and now he's really dead again. This is too dramatic.
This made Gu Ran still half-believing and half-doubting, even though she knew Bai Yifan would not tease her with such things.
The originally delicious dishes no longer seemed so fragrant.
Gu Ran picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth. He chewed it twice without any taste. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll call my parents later and ask them."
Even if it was true, she would first have to ask Father and Mother Gu whether they wanted to go.
The family must always present a united front. If Father Gu doesn't want to go, she certainly won't go either.
Even if I'm really curious whether Mr. Gu is dead this time.
"Yes." Bai Yifan used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of pork ribs and gave it to Gu Ran. "This is the signature dish of this restaurant. The spiciness is just right. Try it."
"Thank you." Gu Ran suppressed his curiosity and wanted to verify it immediately.
She could ask the system to check it now, but Bai Yifan was there, and the two of them were having dinner. It would be impolite to be distracted by eating other people's melons at this time.
Gu Ran waited until he finished his meal and was sent home by Bai Yifan before calling the system.
[Qiqi, are you there?]
System: "Yes, Qiqi's battery is fully charged!"
[Then help me...] As soon as Gu Ran entered the entrance hall, he ran into a familiar figure and paused.
"Miss Gu." The person turned around, smiled and nodded. It was indeed Butler Ning.
When they were in the Gu family's old house, all affairs were handled by the housekeeper Ning.
Butler Ning is mature and steady, treating everyone equally. He is a butler who is very good at dealing with people and has a very high emotional intelligence.
Gu Ran had a good impression of the housekeeper and Lawyer Wang, and he didn't expect them to appear here.
Thinking about what Bai Yifan had said before about Mr. Gu, Gu Ran was even more confused.
[Old Man Gu has passed away. Shouldn't Housekeeper Ning be handling the funeral affairs at the old house?]
[Not to mention the numerous guests that might be coming, the Gu family's children and grandchildren alone are full of deceit and will be difficult to deal with.]
[Butler Ning isn't at the old house, taking charge. What is he doing here? It's a bit suspicious...]
[I always feel like there's another big melon to eat.]
[Let me check.]
