Chapter 321 Looking for Biological Parents
Facing Gu Zhou's deep gaze.
She smiled an impeccable smile and said, "If Mr. Gu doesn't come, then of course I can't come either."
Gu Zhou pursed his lips and said seriously, "I am just thinking about how to make our project more feasible. I don't mean to force Mr. Ling."
Wang Yuanling chuckled: "Of course, everything is for the project."
Gu Zhou said in a lazy voice: "It's really a pleasure to cooperate with President Ling." He emphasized the last three words.
Wang Yuanling responded, "My pleasure."
Her watery eyes quietly looked at Gu Zhou.
If she was right...
They walked slowly along the path.
Gu Zhou's casual tone melted into the wind: "Why didn't you give them those replies just now?"
Wang Yuanling ran away, but her thoughts were pulled back. Her eyelids twitched slightly: "They were written to the two elders. The two elders just passed away. According to the time, it is impossible to reply to them so soon."
Gu Zhou sneered: "You are quite attentive to details in your fabrication. I'm afraid the old couple will have nothing to ask for with a filial granddaughter like you by their side."
He spoke with a mixture of words.
It's all sarcasm.
Gu Zhou disliked the two elders more than she thought.
Why?
She didn't want to miss any clues.
His eyebrows moved slightly, ready to test: "Boss Gu, you..."
Before he could finish his words, Gu Zhou interrupted him with a pursed lip: "Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Wang Yuanling paused.
He looked at Gu Zhou in disbelief.
Seeing this, Gu Zhou said in a mocking tone, "Why, do you still need me to apologize?"
She was confused and didn't understand where his words came from.
Gu Zhou glanced at her puzzled expression, his eyes dark and unclear: "When I talk about your grandparents, you get angry."
Did she have a face just now?
No.
Gu Zhou shook out a cigarette from the box, held it between his lips, lowered his eyelids, and licked the cigarette butt with the flame, emitting a scarlet spot of light.
He exhaled two puffs of cigarette, as if he had finished thinking.
His brows furrowed slightly as he lazily gazed at her through the smoke. "I have a lot of connections, especially when it comes to finding things that have a sense of age."
The smoke drifted to her face with the wind, and the scent of agarwood covered the smell of tobacco.
A little more acceptable than tobacco smell.
She was distracted: "What are you looking for?"
The cigarette was caught between his clearly slender knuckles. He tilted his head and spit out the cigarette. The smoke was carried by the wind and passed by her side, but did not hit her face again.
"Would you consider looking for your biological parents?"
Her pupils flickered violently.
"I'm not charging any money, just helping out." He added, "It's based on the friendship of our partners."
A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and the look she cast at him was three parts wary and seven parts scrutinizing.
The thief cries "stop thief"?
Not really.
But he is Gu Zhou.
The best symbol of the word cunning.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu, but I have forgotten all my memories of my parents."
Gu Zhou's eyes were somewhat distorted by the swirling smoke, and he said slowly, "Okay."
He then said, "Not angry anymore?"
Wang Yuanling was surprised: "I'm not angry, why does Mr. Gu think I'm angry?"
Gu Zhou bit the cigarette butt lightly, the smoke around him was hazy, and his expression was unclear: "When I mentioned the two elders, you stopped smiling. Aren't you angry?"
Did she have that?
She never found out.
He observed too carefully.
But even if he didn't laugh... it wasn't what he wanted to do, that he was standing up for the two elders.
But she couldn't explain the misunderstanding in detail.
Just smiled lightly: "Mr. Gu, you misunderstood, I'm not angry."
"That's good." The relief hidden in his lazy voice made her eyes move slightly.
The cigarette butt flickered between his fingertips in the twilight, and he snorted righteously, "If you're angry, just say it. Don't hide it in your heart."
Sparks fell as he raised his hand.
"Don't wait and say you hate me again."
Her heart skipped a beat.
Meeting his deep gaze, it took a long while before she found her voice: "Mr. Gu, this is also a misunderstanding."
He raised his eyebrows casually, and stretched out his tone: "I see. So, Miss Misunderstanding, can we go back now?"
She was rarely at a loss for words.
Especially after entering the Wang family.
He is humble, obedient and harmless, and speaks beautifully and politely, which is textbook-level.
Even Mr. Wang couldn't find any fault with it.
This is a skill that took a lot of effort to develop.
But it often fails in front of him.
Even walking back to the hotel.
She couldn't figure it out either.
Kick your shoes off.
She walked barefoot on the hotel carpet, took out her second phone from her bag, and called An Zhu: [How is it going? Have you found any information about Uncle Gu Zhou?]
Anzhu: [He left the country ten years ago. Even after Mr. Gu passed away, he didn't come back. He got into some trouble abroad this time, so he came back.]
Wang Yuanling narrowed her eyes slightly: [A man who didn't even come back after his biological father died, yet was forced to come back. It seems he's in quite a bit of trouble this time. What kind of trouble has he caused?]
Yasuke: [Drug sales dispute. The identity of the buyer is very mysterious. I can't find any details, but he doesn't seem to be a simple person.]
Wang Yuanling: [Continue to investigate, spend what needs to be spent.]
Yasuke: [Yes.]
There was a loud roar outside the panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, and a flash of lightning streaked across the top of the high-rise building.
It won't take a moment.
The windows were covered with tiny raindrops.
The raindrops grew bigger and bigger, and could no longer bear the weight, and fell to the bottom of the window.
The rainstorm is tearing the night apart.
Gu Zhou's words tonight resurfaced in his mind.
She is reviewing.
Was she exposed somewhere?
Why did he suddenly ask her if she wanted to find her biological parents?
But when he put forward this suggestion, there was no joking on his face. On the contrary, there was a steady seriousness on his face.
She thought of his aversion to the two elders.
No one would do something that would only end up hurting themselves.
It is even more impossible for Gu Zhou to do such a stupid thing.
So there is only one possibility.
He was not aware of what happened that year.
As for the proposal to help find biological parents.
It’s because…she.
Pity her?
Before coming here, she would have thought this idea was impossible.
But what the dean said and the actions she saw with her own eyes.
He really did feel sorry for her.
“Boom.”
“Ding Dong.”
Thunder and the sound of information sounded at the same time.
She took back her regular phone.
The screen lit up, and I saw Gu Zhou's message: [Give you a ride tomorrow?]
She didn't reply.
He sent another message: [Didn't the elders drive away? It would be a bit troublesome to ask your driver to pick them up, right? Of course, if Mr. Ling doesn't mind the hassle, then forget it.]
She ignored the subsequent sarcasm and pretended to be polite: [Will this cause a lot of trouble for Mr. Gu?]
Gu Zhou: [Are you carsick? Will you vomit all over me?]
【Won't. 】
【What's the trouble then?】
She seemed to be able to hear Gu Zhou's casual voice saying this.
She slid her fingertips across the screen: [Thank you, Mr. Gu.]
Gu Zhou didn't reply.
Very arbitrary.
In line with Gu Zhou's style.
