Bai You nodded. "No wonder he looked at you like that tonight and said so many inexplicable things. It turns out he had his reasons. But you two seem to have a really good relationship, right?"
Lu Yunxiao looked at Bai You, whose attention was gradually shifting, and asked with amusement, "What exactly do you want to know? One moment you want to know what Mr. Zhou is up to, the next you want to know why Erica gave up her cooperation with Lu Corporation to help Zhou Corporation, and the next moment you want to ask what kind of relationship he and I have. Why do you have so many questions? If you have that time, you might as well be healing. Look at what you've done to yourself. This is the last time. If it happens again, I'll lock you up and prevent you from getting involved in this mess."
Bai You: "..."
How could this person be like this? He blatantly went back on his word. He had clearly promised her, but now he changed his mind. He has no integrity at all.
Bai You knew that this incident had left him with lingering fears, so he didn't argue. He simply nodded and said perfunctorily, "I know, I know. Next time, I will definitely protect myself well and not get into trouble. I won't cause any trouble, and I will definitely stay by Mr. Lu's side, always keeping me under your nose. Are you satisfied with this?"
Lu Yunxiao: "..."
After the fight, Bai You's thoughts began to return to normal. She still held Lu Yunxiao and asked the question she was obsessed with, "So what do you think that Mr. Zhou wants to do? Why is he trying to find out about our relationship? He's vaguely testing our relationship. Does our relationship have any impact on what he wants to do? Is he trying to curry favor with you through me? That shouldn't be the case."
She could still distinguish between friendly and hostile looks. The way Old Man Zhou looked at her was clearly hostile, but she didn't seem to have any issues with him. Tonight's banquet was their first formal meeting. Was it necessary for him to harbor such hostility towards her?
Lu Yunxiao's eyes turned cold. As he packed up his medicine boxes, he said to Bai You, "No one in the Zhou family is simple. The one you sent in, the current Old Man Zhou, and Zhou Yan, each of them has their own selfish motives. They are also cruel and ruthless. If you push them into a corner, they will do anything. That Old Man Zhou has obviously set his sights on you. From now on, I will send you a few bodyguards to follow you at all times. I know this matter is very important to you, so I won't interfere, but the premise is that you must ensure your own safety. Who knows what that cunning man will do to you?"
Bai You knew that if he was not allowed to do anything, he would definitely be worried. Sending a few bodyguards would not affect anything, so she did not refuse and nodded, "Okay."
"You are injured today, so I won't bully you. Go to bed early. I'm going to take a shower."
Bai You: "..."
How could he say with such confidence that she was injured tonight and he would not bully her? Is he so shameless?
…
Bai You stared at the watch on Tang Feng's wrist. That watch was the latest model that had just come out a few days ago. If she remembered correctly, it couldn't be taken off without six digits.
She had always felt both familiar and unfamiliar with Tang Feng. Sometimes she thought he was just a simple detective, spending his days taking orders and helping others look up information. He might like this kind of exciting life, but sometimes she felt there was a barrier between him and her, and she couldn't see through him at all. That thought had been lingering in her mind, until this moment she suddenly realized clearly that there was a barrier between him and her, a barrier that could never be crossed.
It’s not that she had never been to his house, but the places she went to seemed to be different both times. The first time was because she was kidnapped by an illegal taxi driver while attending a dinner party, so she stayed at his house for a night. The second time, he took her there. His house was a mess, located in a very remote community.
At that time, her mind and eyes were filled with her car accident and the injustice the Mu family had done to Chu Lanxi. She wanted to take back everything that belonged to Chu Lanxi intact.
So she completely ignored this person. Besides, he was really trying his best to help her and had never hurt her. But now, he gave people a more and more mysterious feeling, so mysterious that she couldn't see through him. It seemed like he always wore a mask on his face. The expression on that mask was always a smile, but under the mask, no one knew what kind of emotions he was feeling.
Perhaps she had placed too much hope on him from the beginning; after all, they had known each other for three years. She had never considered truly understanding him. He certainly had no obligation to reveal his true identity to her; after all, they were merely partners.
Bai You has tried his best to comfort himself, but the void in his heart is getting bigger and bigger.
Bai You's gaze was very clear. Tang Feng followed her gaze back to his wrist, and then he realized that he had forgotten to take off his watch when he came down from the interview today.
His eyes moved slightly, and then he reached out and pulled his sleeve to completely cover the watch. Then, he concealed his panic and met Bai You's probing gaze, forcing himself to be calm and said, "What's the matter with you calling me here today?"
Bai You's gaze lingered on his wrist for a few seconds before he closed his eyes and said calmly, "Do you know what the Zhou family's current situation is?"
Tang Feng didn't expect Bai You to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment, looked at her straight, and then asked: "Why did you think of asking this?"
