“But now you…” Wanqi was unwilling, her face filled with worry.
Perhaps feeling that his voice was too serious, Xu Mo took a breath to clear his throat and softened his tone, saying, "Wanqi, you know I won't give up on this matter easily. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm hungry, let's eat."
Before Wan Qi could speak again, Xu Mo had already turned around and made a phone call to order food to be delivered.
Looking at Xu Mo, Wan Qi sighed deeply and said nothing more.
The next day, Gu Yiming went to the company very early because he had a bidding process, and even checked it several times.
However, the result was still unsatisfactory.
The failure to win the bid surprised everyone.
Gu Yiming's face grew increasingly dark. People at the bidding site kept leaving, and his assistant, seeing Gu Yiming remain motionless, felt a surge of panic.
Her tone softened involuntarily, and her hands trembled slightly. "Boss, what... what should we do now?"
Gu Yiming stared intently at the dark bidding platform, silent, his eyes unreadable.
After a long while, so long that the assistant thought his boss was going to sit there all day, Gu Yiming finally said, "This matter is definitely not simple. Tell Jinyu to investigate this matter thoroughly right now. I need to know the results by today."
After speaking, Gu Yiming stood up gracefully, the deep meaning in his eyes frightening.
"Okay, boss, I'll be right there," the assistant replied respectfully and hurried away.
When Gu Yiming returned to the company with a dark expression, Jin Yu was already respectfully waiting at the door. Upon seeing her boss, she lowered her head, exuding shrewdness.
Gu Yiming asked directly, "What exactly happened?"
Jin Yu handed over the document, her tone revealing a hint of surprise, "This time, it was someone you knew who was behind it, but what's surprising is that Xu Mo actually got involved."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yiming quickly picked up the document in his hand and began to examine it. The more he looked, the uglier his expression became. Finally, he threw the document on the ground and angrily exclaimed, "He's really gone mad!"
Jin Yu stood respectfully without moving, only her eyebrows and eyes twitched.
Turning around, Gu Yiming left again, his cold voice trailing off, "Keep a close eye on Gu Nanqing lately."
With a quick press of the accelerator, Gu Yiming drove away from the company.
"Knock knock knock".
When Gu Yiming arrived at Xu Mo's hotel, his face was deep and thoughtful.
Looking at the person who opened the door, Gu Yiming took out his phone again to check the address Jin Yu had sent. After confirming it, he calmly said, "I'm looking for Xu Mo."
Wan Qi looked at Gu Yiming, her eyes wide with surprise. Such a refined man is a rare find.
When Gu Yiming entered the house, Wan Qi politely offered him water, but Xu Mo stopped her with a look.
Gu Yiming didn't care at all. He sat on the sofa with a deep look on his face. He looked at Xu Mo before slowly speaking, "You were the one who did this, weren't you?"
Xu Mo didn't answer, but instead played with Wan Qi's little hand intently, his eyes full of amusement.
"Do you even know what you're doing? Does Ye Qingqing know?"
When Ye Qingqing was mentioned, both Wan Qi and Xu Mo paused for a moment. Then, Xu Mo intertwined his fingers with Wan Qi's, looked up, and said sarcastically, "It's no use talking to me about this. Xiao Xiao is the one I love the most. Think about what happened back then, so you should bear all of this."
As he spoke, Xu Mo's eyes revealed his longing for Xu Xiaoxiao, and even more so, his sarcasm towards Gu Yiming.
Gu Yiming didn't expect Xu Mo to still hold such a grudge about Xu Xiaoxiao's matter, but when it came to his own affairs, the domineering Gu Yiming never cared.
With a furrowed brow, Gu said again, "I can let this matter go, but Xu Mo, your cooperation with Gu Nanqing was a complete mistake. I hope you will think about it carefully."
"Say what you want to say," he said, getting up and leaving.
Only when the door slammed shut did Wan Qi release Xu Mo's hand. She walked to the window and watched Gu Yiming's car speed away. Hesitantly, she said, "Xu Mo, can you let go of this matter? We won't cooperate with Gu Nanqing anymore."
Xu Mo lowered his head and remained silent.
When a gust of wind suddenly rushed in through the window, Xu Mo said softly, "Wan Qi, I hope you can listen to me on this matter. You know what Xiao Xiao means to me, and you also know that I was living a life worse than death during that time, so I hope you can support me."
Even if it's not support, I hope you won't argue with it.
After saying that, he turned around and hurried into the inner room.
Watching Xu Mo's figure, Wan Qi's brows furrowed deeply. She opened her mouth as if to explain about the money, but then closed it again.
Meanwhile, Gu Yiming, who was leaving at breakneck speed, received a call from the old house.
"Come home late for dinner, everyone's waiting." A simple voice came through the phone, and Gu Yiming hung up immediately.
She dialed the familiar number again, a hint of tenderness appearing in her eyes.
"Huahua, where are you? I'll come pick you up for dinner."
Jiang Hua's work is usually very relaxed. After finishing dealing with a client today, she had nothing to do. After receiving Gu Yiming's call, she happily got up and said, "I'm still working."
Gu Yiming said domineeringly, "No more classes. Pack your things and I'll pick you up for dinner."
"Okay." Jiang Hua rubbed her aching neck and replied with a smile.
When Gu Yiming picked up Jiang Hua, seeing the familiar road, Jiang Hua's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and she questioned, "Is this going to your house?"
Gu Yiming knew Jiang Hua was unhappy, so he reached out his right hand and gently stroked her small hand, comforting her, "It's okay, it's just eating."
Jiang Hua was speechless. She turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window. The strong wind lashed her face, and all the deep meaning in her eyes was suppressed.
"good."
When the two arrived at the old house, it was already dark, but the house was brightly lit.
"Young Master!"
The respectful voice echoed throughout the room. Gu Yiming's expression remained unchanged as he pulled Jiang Hua directly into the dining room.
Upon seeing the newcomers, Gu Heng's smile vanished, and his tone turned unfriendly: "Not only are you late, but you also bring home a bunch of irrelevant people. Do you even consider me your father anymore?"
Gu Yiming ignored her completely, pulled out a chair for Jiang Hua to sit down, and then slowly looked up at Gu Heng, his thin lips parting slightly, "She is not an unrelated person, she is my lover."
Perhaps his lover had provoked Gu Heng, for his eyes were filled with disdain and disgust as he looked at Jiang Hua.
Seeing this, Bai Wei stood up and gently patted Gu Heng's chest to help him breathe, saying gently, "The child is so grown up now, he must have his own thoughts. Talk to him about it later."
Gu Heng finally relaxed, satisfied, and began to eat.
However, seeing Gu Yiming gently serving food to Jiang Hua, she felt a surge of anger again.
