A quiet Western restaurant
Li Yushu handed the menu that the waiter had brought to Bai Qianmo.
"What would you like to eat?"
Actually, she was very hungry at the moment, but the person sitting opposite her was not her Mr. Gu, but an unpredictable man. Staring at the expensive menu, she felt somewhat bored.
I casually ordered a steak and a glass of juice and handed the menu to the waiter.
"Give me the same one as this lady."
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
After the waiter left
Bai Qianmo picked up the water glass beside her and took a sip of the lemon water provided in the restaurant.
"Mr. Li, do you know something?"
Li Yushu gave a helpless laugh: "Can we put aside business for now? Right now, I just want to have a simple meal with you."
"Mr. Li, if you and Zhang Yafei are very close friends, and now that she's in such a terrible situation, don't you feel even a little bit sad?"
Li Yushu was unaware that she had already discovered his improper relationship with Zhang Yafei.
Regardless of Zhang Yafei's place in Li Yushu's heart before her death, the two had a close relationship. Even after Zhang Yafei was killed, this man still had the mind to invite another woman to dinner.
Is he heartless, or does he think Zhang Yafei is worthless?
Li Yushu didn't expect Bai Qianmo to directly retort to him.
A sharp glint flashed in her gentle, watery eyes, and the smile on her lips froze for a few seconds before she shook her head and gave a helpless, bitter smile.
"My relationship with Zhang Yafei is not what you imagine. I am indeed very saddened by what happened to Yafei, but a man does not easily show his pain."
"Qianmo, you have a deep misunderstanding about me. Actually, I really want to get to know you better and let you understand everything about me. That way, you might be able to understand what I'm really thinking."
Want to get to know her better? If Mr. Gu finds out, that old jar of vinegar will probably spill over...
She couldn't feel any goodwill towards Li Yushu at all.
This man is hiding too many unspeakable secrets; his politeness and manners are all a facade.
His true face should be the way he looks when he's with Zhang Yafei.
She always felt that Li Yushu's identity was not simple. Besides being the son of Secretary Li, there must be something else hidden behind him.
Zhang Yafei had a key that led her to him, but unfortunately that connection was broken. She had to find another way to continue investigating Li Yushu.
That's why she readily agreed to this dinner party today.
Soon, the steak was served.
Bai Qianmo was preoccupied with her own thoughts, and ate without tasting anything.
Li Yushu would ask her about her recent situation from time to time.
"I only saw the news about Xi Ruo framing you. I never imagined that her jealousy would turn her into this."
Bai Qianmo held her knife and fork, slowly cutting the steak on her plate.
"Qianmo, are you still with Gu Jueye?" Seeing that Bai Qianmo didn't speak, Li Yushu's smile gradually faded.
Bai Qianmo ate a piece of steak, put down her knife and fork, picked up the juice in front of her and took a sip.
Only then did he slowly lift his eyelids to look at Li Yushu.
"Mr. Li, why don't you just say what you really want to say? That way, everyone can save time."
Li Yushu felt as if a piece of red-hot iron had been thrown into ice water in response to Bai Qianmo's cold attitude.
His good upbringing and gentlemanly manners allowed him to maintain composure even when he was unhappy.
He chuckled softly: "You must be well aware of the Gu family's situation. I remember when we met in Shanghai, I advised you that Gu Jueye was not someone you could entrust your life to. Even if he is good to you now, the Gu family's situation would absolutely not allow him to marry you."
Seeing that Bai Qianmo didn't react, Li Yushu continued, "Qianmo, I'm a man, so I understand men's minds better. Even if Gu Jueye loves you, he has too many responsibilities and burdens on his shoulders. He would never abandon the future of his entire family for you. Besides, once the novelty wears off, few men will choose power over love. So, don't wait until he's ready to abandon you before you realize it. By then, it will be too late."
Bai Qianmo couldn't help but chuckle twice.
“Mr. Li, you keep saying you like me, but behind my back you're having ambiguous relationships with other women. Your mother, Madam Li, has always disliked me. Even if we were to be together, what guarantees could you give me? Compared to that, Gu Jueye loves me and is willing to defy his family for me, so what makes you worthy of comparison?”
Li Yushu was thoroughly enraged by Bai Qianmo's sarcastic remarks, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
"Hehe, you really haven't changed at all."
These words made Bai Qianmo's heart tremble, and she looked directly at the man in front of her.
At this moment, Li Yushu still maintained a faint smile on his face, but the feigned peace in his eyes was gone. His eyes were dark and cold, like a bottomless black hole that could suck people in without them noticing, exuding danger.
You really haven't changed at all...
Why did she feel a strong sense of suffocation when she heard those words?
Who exactly is Li Yushu?
