Chapter 73 Chapter 73 Chapter 73
Seeing that the wealthy fans in group 888 were on his side, Gu Ting stopped talking and said no more. Although he had been the "spokesperson for the poor and miserable beauty", he couldn't keep playing the victim, lest it backfire.
Anyway, everything in this industry is a pleasant surprise. Qin Wei's bankruptcy is a pleasant surprise, and her rich fans helping her deal with Qin Wei is also a pleasant surprise. She is very satisfied with the result. If she hadn't been at the dinner party, she really wanted to put her hands on her hips and laugh with her head tilted back.
Gu Ting held his breath and persisted until the dinner was over and he returned to the car.
Yan Xiu behaved out of character throughout the journey, and seemed to be in a bad mood. He spoke little at the dinner and rarely smiled.
There were only two of them in the car. Gu Ting, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but lean over curiously, "What's wrong with you? You don't look very happy."
There was no light in the car, but Gu Ting could still clearly sense that Yan Xiu was looking at her, looking at her very seriously.
Although she couldn't see the other person's eyes clearly, she still had a feeling of being stared at deeply. It felt like his gaze carried a tiny electric current, which transmitted through her whole body in a moment, stimulating her so much that she felt numb and her heart skipped a beat.
Under such a direct gaze, Gu Ting felt a little hot on his face. He sat up straight unconsciously, wanting to keep some distance to cool down.
"I want to hug you, can I?" Yan Xiu suddenly spoke.
Before Gu Ting's back touched the back of the chair, he was hugged by someone and fell into a strong and warm embrace.
Gu Ting's heartbeat suddenly slowed down, and the heartbeat in the chest she was leaning on also gradually accelerated. At a certain time, the two heartbeats resonated and could no longer be distinguished from each other.
Gu Ting couldn't help but put the back of his hand against his face. His hand was ice cold, but his face was burning.
Her mind was in a mess at this moment, but she didn't want to push him away.
Neither of them spoke, the surroundings were quiet, and other senses were infinitely magnified, such as the sound of each other's breathing lingering in their ears, the resonance of their heartbeats, the faint fragrance in Gu Ting's hair, the very light cool scent of pine wood on Yan Xiu's body, and the gradually rising body temperatures of the two.
The atmosphere was a bit weird, but Yan Xiu was still immersed in his own thoughts.
He spoke, his low voice hiding his unknown emotions: "If possible, I hope I could meet you sooner."
Gu Ting instantly understood the source of his depression. It turned out that he had been silent all the way because he had heard her talk about her past experiences at the dinner table, and he felt strange. Then again, she had played the victim at the dinner table, but she didn't elaborate on it, just a few casual remarks. Could it be so contagious?
Gu Ting patted his back and said cheerfully, "If you and I had known each other for a long time, how could I have saved your life? So I think, maybe everything is the best arrangement. Nothing in the past or the future is more important than this moment."
Gu Ting felt Yan Xiu nod slightly, but didn't say much. He knew that for Gu Ting, the road ahead was all in the past. Although the road had been bumpy and difficult, the good thing was that now the clouds had cleared and everything was getting better. So she didn't dwell on the suffering of the past.
But Yan Xiu couldn't control himself. He still felt stuffy in his chest and was so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe.
Gu Ting had long been accustomed to stumbling along the way, or rather, she was used to eliminating the feeling of pain most of the time. At that time, she had only one thought in her mind: persist, persist again, and things will get better one day.
Apart from persistence, any other emotions are redundant and a burden to her.
Perhaps it is because of this that she does not like to recall the past. Even if she recalls the past, she is used to recalling from the perspective of an observer. She can't remember the feelings in the memories at all.
To her own memories, she was like the most familiar stranger, so strange that it seemed as if they were not her own memories.
At this moment, she was in the comforting embrace of a man who felt sorry for her and even felt pain because of her pain. It was as if something connected the two of them and made their relationship so close.
For the first time, Gu Ting felt from other people that she could suffer and she no longer had to be afraid of pain, because she was no longer alone. There was someone in this world who cared about her, felt sorry for her, and really wanted to do something for her.
In such a warm embrace and such gentle emotions, Gu Ting couldn't help but soften her heart. She got up from his arms and touched his chin with her lips.
"It's okay, it's all over."
You feel sorry for me, but I don't want you to be sad.
When Gu Ting realized what he had done, all his emotions disappeared in an instant. He stared at Yan Xiu through the darkness with wide eyes and stuttered for the first time: "This... that... I touched it accidentally."
Yan Xiu didn't say anything. Gu Ting only felt someone gently touching her head. The movement was as gentle as water, with such gentle power.
Gu Ting stopped talking. He only had one feeling on his body: his face was really hot, even to his heart.
After the auction, Gu Ting did not plan to return to City A immediately. Her work was almost finished, and the only thing she was concerned about now was to resolve the matter between Qin Wei and Meng Silian as soon as possible.
Meng Silian had already asked Dong Lei to help find someone, and Qin Wei's headquarters was in City B. Now that she was already here, and Qin Wei was in such a desperate situation, why didn't she take this opportunity to kick him when he was down and kill him once and for all? What was she waiting for? Waiting for him to make a comeback before attacking her?
So she decided to stay in City B for the time being.
The first thing she did when she stayed in City B was to go to a 4S store and buy a car. Because Yanxiu had to go back to City A to take care of company matters, her Wuling X was fine for short distances but not very suitable for long distances, so she simply bought another good car.
It just so happened that City B was holding a new energy vehicle exhibition in the past few days, and the venue was not far from her hotel. Gu Ting went there alone the next morning, fully armed.
The exhibition hall was huge, packed with people, and there were countless vehicles of various brands. Gu Ting was dazzled after walking around, and he even had decision-making difficulties. He simply ran outside to get some fresh air and refresh his mind.
Gu Ting found a bench outside and sat down. A few minutes later, a slender middle-aged woman, who seemed to be treading on cotton, stumbled as she passed by her and was about to fall to the ground.
Gu Ting was quick to pull the other person and said, "Sister, let me help you sit on the chair for a while."
After helping the person onto the bench, the middle-aged woman was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes, let alone speak.
Gu Ting noticed that her face was pale and there was a fine layer of cold sweat on her forehead, so he bent down and asked, "Sister, are you hypoglycemic? I haven't drunk the milk tea I just bought yet. You can drink a few sips first to calm down. If you don't feel well, I will take you to the hospital."
Gu Ting inserted a straw and brought the milk tea to the middle-aged woman's mouth. The middle-aged woman weakly raised her eyelids to look at her, then drank a few sips obediently.
After feeding her half a cup of liquid, more than ten minutes later, the middle-aged woman's face finally showed some color and she looked much better.
I have to say that the middle-aged lady with her lips back to red and eyes full of spirit looks really elegant. Although she is wearing a light pink suit that does not show her figure, she still cannot hide her grace. She is an absolute beauty.
Gu Ting was quietly admiring the woman's face, and accidentally lost his mind when he heard the beautiful woman suddenly speak. Although she didn't have much strength, she said softly, "Thank you, little girl. If it weren't for you just now, I don't know where I would have fallen. What's your name?"
Gu Ting realized that she was still wearing a mask. At this time, someone came around. She thought about it but didn't take off the mask. She just said, "My name is Gu Ting. Don't be polite, sister. It's just a small favor!"
The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "My daughter is already in her twenties, not some sister. You can call me Aunt Zhou. Xiaoting, are you here to look at the car? I know someone. Do you want me to introduce you to them?"
Gu Ting's eyes lit up: "Aunt Zhou, you are really a timely help. I was just getting a headache from watching this."
She was in so much pain that she regretted letting Yan Xiu go back first. She knew nothing about cars.
Ms. Zhou was obviously in much better spirits, so she let Gu Ting hold her arm and the two of them entered the venue again together.
Gu Ting originally thought that Aunt Zhou knew someone in the exhibition hall, but who knew that she was known wherever she went. Everyone who saw her called her "Ms. Zhou" and was very respectful. When Aunt Zhou asked them to recommend a car to Gu Ting, each of them spared no effort and even offered preferential prices without waiting for Gu Ting to speak. They were very enthusiastic.
Gu Ting: Huh? Did I just pick up another rich friend?
City B is really a great place with many talented people, except for that rubbish Qin Wei.
Ms. Zhou is obviously not someone who likes surfing the Internet. Although she knows Gu Ting's name is Gu Ting, she does not know Gu Ting. She just treats Gu Ting as a junior and takes good care of her.
Gu Ting didn't expect that Aunt Zhou looked cold and aloof, but she was very gentle in her attitude towards her, which made people unable to help but get close to her. In a short time, Gu Ting had a good impression of her.
With the help of Ms. Zhou and relevant sales staff, Gu Ting bought a car at a very favorable price. When signing the contract, Gu Ting took out his ID card. The salesperson was stunned and pointed at Gu Ting, unable to speak for a while.
Gu Ting quickly made a "hush" gesture.
The salesperson was very excited and controlled her voice and said, "Sister, let's take a photo together later."
Gu Ting buried his head in writing and made an "OK" gesture.
Neither of them noticed, and Ms. Zhou's reaction was a little strange. She picked up Gu Ting's ID card, looked at it for a long time, and frowned slightly.
After Gu Ting signed the contract, she looked up and saw Ms. Zhou returning her ID card to her. She shook her head and pinched her eyebrows, seeming a little tired.
Gu Ting said, "Aunt Zhou, I'm almost done. It's noon. You should go eat quickly, otherwise you'll get tired easily."
Ms. Zhou waved and smiled at her, then turned and left.
After Ms. Zhou left, the salesperson held up her ID card and joked, "Is it true that all good-looking people look a bit alike? You really do look a bit like our CEO, Mr. Zhou!"
Gu Ting: "It's possible."
Aunt Zhou is so elegant and capable, and it's a compliment to say that she looks so similar to her.
With the help of Aunt Zhou, Gu Ting paid the money on the spot, got into the car, and drove directly out of the exhibition hall.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Gu Ting specially found a place with few people to park and ate at a small restaurant nearby.
They were just having a meal, but then two salesmen came into the restaurant, sat behind Gu Ting and started talking about houses. They talked nonstop for twenty minutes without stopping, and even Gu Ting was forced to cover his ears with local real estate market news.
Gu Ting heard from the two people that they had just acquired a high-quality house with a perfect layout, exquisite decoration, and plenty of light. It was located within the third ring road of City B, with an excellent geographical location and perfect surrounding facilities. The only drawback was that the area was less than 100 square meters, making it suitable for a single apartment.
The two of them were discussing that such a good house is hard to come by and will definitely sell out in seconds if it is put on the market, so the price must not be set too low, otherwise how can they make any money?
Originally, Gu Ting didn't take it too seriously, but when she heard the number of more than 4 million, her heart suddenly moved, because Gu Ting knew that the housing prices in City B have been high, and the land within the Third Ring Road is even more expensive. It is really not expensive to buy a fully decorated single apartment for more than 4 million.
She has been flying all over the place during her time as an artist, and one-third of her business comes from City B. She also likes this place very much, so it might be a good idea for her to buy a house here as a base for her business trips. It is always more comfortable than staying in a hotel.
4 million. A few days ago, Emperor Chang contacted her to help draw a new artifact. She was too busy at the time, so she'll go draw tonight! Double the prize!
Don’t you have a house now?
