The manager received instructions and waited at the door early.
"Mr. Gu." He respectfully led Gu Xiuyuan in. He could sense that this man was in a bad mood, so he spoke every word carefully.
When Gu Xiuyuan entered the box, Fu Shengkai and Qin Chuan had already arrived, along with several other friends.
Qin Chuan's shop has many distinguished customers every day, but most of them are from the same circle. However, the car outside obviously belongs to another circle.
Seeing Gu Xiuyuan's unhappy expression, everyone moved away from the center of the storm.
Qin Chuan silently held his forehead. There have been a lot of rumors in the circle recently. He Yanzhi's thoughts on Ji Shuyu are almost known to everyone in the circle.
Although no one dared to spread any harsh words, for Gu Xiuyuan, listening to the "love fairy tale" between his wife and another man, he must have been so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
Qin Chuan poured him some wine, but before he even put down the bottle, the wine had already gone into Gu Xiuyuan's stomach.
“…”
Qin Chuan looked at Fu Shengkai silently, then poured him another glass.
Gu Xiuyuan was feeling irritated and drank several glasses of wine in a row. Then he tugged at his tie irritably, disliking Qin Chuan's slowness, and reached out to grab the bottle himself.
"Do you think this is water?" Qin Chuan covered the rim of the glass as Gu Xiuyuan picked up the bottle. "It's almost done. If you drink yourself to death here, will that solve anything?"
After so many years, this is the first time I see him being so excited.
You know how painful it is when a needle pricks your body!
Gu Xiuyuan ignored him and took the bottle to pour the wine himself. He couldn't argue with her, couldn't do anything to her, and couldn't he just drink?
Qin Chuan glanced at Fu Shengkai. So he called people over and sat on the side to watch the fun?
Seeing that Fu Shengkai didn't move and Gu Xiuyuan couldn't persuade him, Qin Chuan sent a message to Ji Shuyu "asking for help", acting as if Gu Xiuyuan would drink himself to death if she didn't come.
At this time, she is probably the only one who has the say.
"Four years ago, He Yanzhi's sister was critically ill, and Ji Shuyu donated blood for her."
Gu Xiuyuan paused for a moment and turned to look at his friend.
"What?!"
Fu Shengkai didn't repeat the answer, but acted as if you had heard it correctly.
"On the surface, this is the only intersection. As for the rest... I'm afraid you'll have to ask He Yanzhi himself."
Qin Chuan listened on the side. To be honest, He Yanzhi was a tough guy. If it was really just out of "favor", he wouldn't have to do so much.
That day at the riverbank, he looked at that girl with eyes clearly filled with love...
The door of the private room was pushed open, and the manager walked in and whispered something into Qin Chuan's ear.
Qin Chuan's face changed slightly when he heard this, and the only words in his mind were "Fuck".
"Got it. You go and greet them first." Qin Chuan rubbed his temples, then glanced at Fu Shengkai inconspicuously, signaling him to keep a close eye on Gu Xiuyuan.
"I have a few guests coming over to take a look. Please take a seat." He said, and asked the manager to get a bottle of his wine collection.
Qin Chuan stood up, and Gu Xiuyuan followed suit.
"What?" Qin Chuan looked alert.
"Didn't you say you had guests?" Gu Xiuyuan straightened his cuffs, a faint smile on his lips: "Go say hello."
The manager's voice was very low just now, but he keenly caught the words "Fu Bei" and "He Yanzhi".
Depend on!
Is this guy born in the Year of the Dog? His ears are so sharp!
Qin Chuan's eyes were full of rejection. He looked at Fu Shengkai, but he didn't seem to have any intention of dissuading him.
If there is a problem, of course you should solve it. What's the harm in drinking?
At this moment, his mind was full of great principles, but he didn't expect that one day when the same thing happened to him, he would be more embarrassed than anyone else...
What a sin I have committed! Qin Chuan lamented. Seeing Gu Xiuyuan leave, he hurriedly followed him.
The two came out of the private room, and the people on the other side were about to leave.
In the corridor, people from both sides bumped into each other, and the leader was He Yanzhi...
Both sides stopped, no one moved first, and the atmosphere became tense.
"Oh, what brings Mr. He and Mr. Shen here?" Qin Chuan, the host, finally broke the silence. "I apologize for not greeting you in advance. I'm sorry for not hosting you well. I'm sorry."
"Mr. Qin, you're welcome." Shen Baiyao smiled. "We were just passing by and decided to stop by to learn how to run my business."
Passing by, this sounded fake. The two sides belonged to different circles, so their auras were naturally incompatible. This superficial friendship was actually full of undercurrents.
Gu Xiuyuan put one hand in his trouser pocket and looked at the man a few steps away.
"Mr. He, hello." He spoke lightly.
"Not really." He Yanzhi looked up at him calmly. "Hasn't Mr. Gu been investigating me recently?"
Both of them had a nonchalant attitude, but it made the temperature around them drop a few degrees.
This place seemed to be separated from the noise of the bar by an invisible barrier, and the atmosphere instantly fell into "dead silence".
"Since we've met, if Mr. Gu has any questions, I can answer a few of them to save Mr. Gu time and effort."
Qin Chuan secretly had a headache. The atmosphere at this meeting was so tense. What would happen next?
"I think Mr. He has misunderstood." Gu Xiuyuan smiled faintly and took a step forward: "I just wanted to express my gratitude to Mr. He in person."
"I heard from our little girl that you saved her before. I always wanted to say thank you to Mr. He, but I never found the chance."
Everyone present naturally knew who the "little girl" he was talking about was, and the words "our family" were quite provocative.
Gu Xiuyuan had a winner's smile on his face, but it only lasted for a few seconds.
When he saw He Yanzhi's cufflinks, the smile in his eyes disappeared instantly, and it seemed as if even the air had frozen.
That was what he had seen in Ji Shuyu's bag before. He was full of anticipation, thinking that it was a gift from her. Now, it appeared on another man's sleeve! !
The people around him seemed a little uncomfortable because of the word "our family", but He Yanzhi remained calm.
"I won't thank you, Mr. Gu." He said indifferently, "She has already thanked me."
He Yanzhi's words did not have any other meaning, but to the furious Gu Xiuyuan, they had a different meaning.
Gu Xiuyuan slowly suppressed the anger surging in his chest and loosened his clenched fists.
"No matter what, I still have to thank you." When he looked up again, the anger in his eyes had disappeared. "I'll host you some other day, and I hope Mr. He will do me the honor of coming."
He slowly took two steps forward, reached out and grabbed He Yanzhi's cufflinks, then pulled them, aimed at the bonsai at the corner, and threw them in.
"Sorry, OCD," he laughed. "Mr. He's cufflinks look a bit special, but they don't seem to suit you."
Lying on the grass, Qin Chuan covered his eyes, unable to bear to watch.
Are you so childish? Don't tell anyone you're my brother!
Gu Xiuyuan suddenly smiled happily, as if all the gloom had been swept away. "How much is it? I'll compensate you."
He Yanzhi glared at him, his indifferent eyes behind the lenses filled with coldness.
"Although Mr. Gu controls the economic lifeline of Yuncheng and has strong financial resources, I'm afraid you can't afford to pay for this." He Yanzhi took off the other cufflink and put it in his chest pocket. "It is priceless in my heart..."
