Chapter 312 If You Believe, I Believe
A hint of coldness flashed across Wang Yuanling's watery eyes.
His words were calm and composed: "But Mr. Gu's special assistant is handling this matter. They should be able to find out what happened soon."
She finished her story and then stepped out of the situation: "Is grandma resting in there? I'll go in and get her some medicine."
Mr. Wang clenched his palms and said in an unclear tone: "You go in."
Wang Yuanling stood up, his gaze filled with scorn, but his tone remained respectful. "Yes, Grandfather."
She walked to the door of the room and turned silently.
Looking at the old figure's back, his eyes were cold.
-
Dinner party.
Gu Zhou participated.
Sit across from them.
He was completely nonchalant, answering questions lazily from time to time, not taking the initiative to speak, and just leaning back in his chair in a casual manner.
He didn't even look at her.
So much so that she didn't even have the chance to start a conversation.
My heart was in turmoil.
So, did Gu Zhou find out that the follower was Old Man Wang’s man?
If found.
What will he do?
She turned off the faucet and faced the mirror, reapplying her lipstick expressionlessly.
Push open the bathroom door.
She saw Gu Zhou, who hadn't glanced at her the entire night, standing in front of a Chinese wooden column in the hotel, smoking casually and leisurely.
The light in the corridor was yellowish, and his half-closed brows were blurred in the smoke rising from his fingertips.
Can't see clearly.
She froze for two seconds, raised her high heels, and walked towards him.
Gu Zhou exhaled a puff of cigarette, and his dark eyes turned to her face.
Wait for her to speak up.
"Boss Gu, why did you come out?"
Gu Zhou bit his cigarette and said lazily, "Aren't you coming out too?"
She smiled and said, "I'm going to the bathroom. I'm going in now. Do you want to come in?"
Gu Zhou stared at her smiling face for more than ten seconds and mocked her, "Are you sure this is the only thing you want to ask?"
She frowned slightly: "What?"
Gu Zhou spoke lazily: "You've been staring at me all night, don't you have something to ask me?"
So he knows everything.
But he didn't even look at her?
The humiliation of being played around in his hands arose in my heart.
She gently brushed the hair behind her ear and raised her eyes with a smile: "Mr. Gu, you must have seen it wrong. I don't have anything to ask."
Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly and said quietly, "Really?"
"Mr. Gu, you've been observing me all night. Do you have anything you want to say to me?"
Gu Zhou snorted softly, "Just like Mr. Ling, no."
She smiled knowingly: "That's good, then I'll go in first."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked away with light steps.
Blow out the last puff of smoke.
Gu Zhou threw the cigarette butt into the trash can, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Is she angry?
He pushed the door open and re-entered the banquet hall.
His lazy eyes inadvertently passed over the gentle and fair face.
I don’t know what the organizers said to her.
Her watery eyes were curved like a half-moon, like newly blossomed jasmine stained with morning dew.
Gentle and non-aggressive.
It was a stark contrast to the smile she had shown him just now.
Gu Zhou pursed his lips and looked away.
Dinner is over.
Having completed the most important thank-you ceremony, taken enough photos, and adequately publicized their kindness and goodwill, the two elders boarded the nanny car and were about to return.
The remaining activities.
Wang Yuanling can be used as a substitute.
Mr. Wang sat in the car and gave a stern order: "After attending the event, return immediately. The group still has many important matters for you to deal with."
Wang Yuanling lowered his eyebrows and said: "Okay, I will go back after the event."
"I don't need to elaborate on how to get along with Gu Zhou, right?"
Wang Yuanling replied, "I understand. Please rest assured, Grandfather. Even if contact is unavoidable at work, I will maintain the proper distance between men and women. It will never affect the reputation of the Wang family."
Mr. Wang turned back with a cold face and said, "Drive."
Wang Yuanling: "Grandpa and Grandma, have a bon voyage."
She stood there, watching them leave.
The obedience on his face disappeared the moment the taillights of the car disappeared from view.
Inside the car.
Mrs. Wang looked worried: "Has that matter been dealt with?"
Mr. Wang said solemnly, "I've told the director, the man has been released, and his identity will not be exposed."
Old Lady Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I was worried about Gu Zhou. He's not that easy to deal with. I was always worried that he would discover something."
Old Master Wang didn't take him seriously at all and said with disdain: "He's just a young boy who got lucky and achieved some success. He's not a tough guy. Besides, when that incident happened, it wasn't his turn to take over Gu's company yet. He was completely unaware of it and there's no way he would have noticed it."
-
The Chinese carved columns cast fine shadows under the warm light.
The crisp and orderly sound of Wang Yuanling's high heels suddenly became quiet at the corner.
"Click, click." Gu Zhou half leaned against the railing, and the Spade K lighter flickered at his fingertips.
At this moment, he looked at her lazily from a distance.
"Aren't you going with them?" His voice was hoarse with tobacco.
She pursed her lips and smiled: "They went back first because of something."
Gu Zhou sneered, the mocking words "Aren't you leaving because the photo shoot is over?" retracted when he met her gaze.
If I tell him, some foolishly filial person will probably be even angrier.
He played with his lighter and said lazily, "That man was released. They said it was a misunderstanding."
Wang Yuanling was not surprised.
It’s just a greeting from the old man.
Everything black can become white.
When she saw the old man leave peacefully just now, she guessed this ending.
She said gently: "It's a misunderstanding. Then, Mr. Gu, I will first..."
He didn't finish his words.
He was interrupted by Gu Zhou, who smiled and said, "Boss Ling, it seems like you expected this?"
She breathed lightly, maintaining a smile. "No, I just felt that there was no benefit for them to follow us, so the more I thought about it, the more unlikely it seemed."
Gu Zhou curled his lips, saying meaningfully, "That's true. However, I broke one of his hands, and he didn't pursue the matter. The people of H Province are really broad-minded."
There's something else behind his words.
Wang Yuanling heard it.
Her dark eyebrows knitted together slightly, and she asked tentatively, "Mr. Gu, don't you believe it's a misunderstanding?"
Gu Zhou looked at her with interest: "Since Mr. Ling believes it, then I believe it too."
Wang Yuanling lightly touched her fingertips and asked further, "If this isn't a misunderstanding, then according to Mr. Gu, what is his purpose in following us?"
There were footsteps at the end of the corridor.
Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows casually: "This matter doesn't seem suitable to be discussed in public. What do you think, Mr. Ling?"
Wang Yuanling pursed her lips and said decisively: "There is a separate tea room on the third floor. Mr. Gu, please follow me."
Gu Zhou stood up straight, and said casually, "I heard that H Province's sweet soup is very famous."
Wang Yuanling understood and changed his tone: "Then I'll treat Mr. Gu to some sweet soup?"
Gu Zhou's lips curled up: "Boss Ling's kindness is hard to refuse."
Wang Yuanling smiled faintly: "Please come in, Mr. Gu."
-
The streets of H Province at night.
It is several times more lively than during the day.
The street lamps are hung high, the lights are bright, and there is a constant flow of people, chatting and laughing.
Wang Yuanling was looking for a dessert shop.
Suddenly feel water dripping on your forehead?
She looked up at the sky.
It was pitch black.
But I couldn't tell whether it was because it was dark or because of the dark clouds before the rain.
There was a sudden rumble in the sky.
"It's thundering." She was surprised. Why was it so sudden?
If I had known it was going to rain, I would have asked the hotel front desk for two umbrellas.
Now walk on this path.
There are only trees on both sides.
It's a few minutes away from the commercial street.
Wouldn’t it be raining?
Just finished thinking about it.
The heavy rain suddenly poured down, catching everyone off guard.
