Bai Qianmo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, watching Du Muchen, Ji Cong'an, Xie Siming, and Jiang Nanyan leave together.
Fifth Brother, aren't they your friends?
"Hmm!" Gu Jueye sat at his desk, flipping through the documents in his hand.
"But it doesn't look like it."
Bai Qianmo slowly turned around and looked at the man in front of her.
Gu Jueye pondered for a moment, then lifted his eyelids to look at Bai Qianmo.
"Fifth Brother, the way you treated them just now didn't seem like that of friends."
Gu Jueye placed the documents in his hand on the table, got up, and walked over.
Looking at the girl in front of him, a hint of warmth gradually appeared in his deep and quiet eyes.
"Some true friendships don't need to be too close; in fact, that's better for both parties."
Bai Qianmo wondered to herself, what did Fifth Brother mean by those words?
Is there some unspeakable reason why it's inconvenient to contact them for the time being?
Or perhaps they were complete strangers, and Fifth Brother was simply too lazy to deal with these friends of Gu Jueye?
Whatever the reason, she felt that she needed to figure out the relationship between Fifth Brother and Gu Jueye before the truth could come out.

Lisa returned to the villa where she was staying.
By evening, Jill had sent a message.
"Young Miss."
"How's the investigation going?"
Upon receiving the news, Jill jogged upstairs, panting heavily.
"Just as we guessed, Gu Jueye went to Kunlun Mountain more than a month ago and then disappeared. The Gu family mobilized special forces to enter the Kunlun Mountains to search for him. The final news was that of the more than 30 people Gu Jueye took to the Kunlun Mountains, only two of his men were brought back alive and are currently still unconscious in the intensive care unit."
"What about Gu Jueye? Is there any news from the Gu family?"
Jill shook her head: "Gu Jueye has disappeared without a trace, but those who know the inside story guess that he's probably dead or very close to death, so..."
At this point, Jill looked at Lisa.
"So Fifth Brother wants to take Gu Jueye's place and enter the Gu family?"
Thinking of this, Lisa's eyes showed shock.
I never expected my fifth brother to have played such a grand game.
Using Gu Jueye's identity to enter the Gu family, and through the Gu family's power and connections, obtain the development rights for the "Blue Ocean" project, thereby connecting the Gu family with the Gu family.
Ultimately, he achieved his desired goal effortlessly.
That's brilliant.
A smile gradually appeared on Lisa's face.
"Knowing that Fifth Brother didn't come to China for that bitch Bai Qianmo, I'm relieved."
"Don't worry, Miss. Fifth Master isn't the kind of man who would lose his senses for a woman. Even if he dotes on Bai Qianmo, deep down he only sees her as a plaything. Just wait and see, after he's weighed things up, Fifth Master will come back to you."
Jill's words struck a chord with Lisa.
Her mood, which had been terrible all day, gradually improved, and she glanced at Jill.
"You seem to know my fifth brother very well."
Jill chuckled, a shrewd glint in her eyes.
"I am a man, so naturally I understand men's thoughts better than women. Miss, what you need to do now is to find a way to build a good relationship with the Gu family."
Lisa didn't immediately grasp the deeper meaning behind Jill's words.
Jill explained, "According to reliable sources, the relationship between Gu Jueye and Bai Qianmo is very complicated. They not only knew each other at JQ University, but Bai Qianmo also returned to China a year ago for no apparent reason, seemingly for this man. Moreover, they have already started dating in China."
"Hmph, Bai Qianmo, that bitch, is already with another man, yet she still shamelessly pesters Fifth Brother. She's really greedy."
Lisa's face was filled with hatred at the mention of Bai Qianmo.
Jill said, "These lowly people will stop at nothing to climb the social ladder. A rich socialite like you can't compare to their seductive tricks. I think Bai Qianmo originally wanted to play both Gu Jueye and Fifth Master. Both men could bring her huge benefits in terms of looks and power. Now that Gu Jueye's life is uncertain and Bai Qianmo has lost hope, she has naturally started to stick to Fifth Master again."
Lisa clenched her fists tightly, a surge of anger burning within her.
"I must tear off Bai Qianmo's ugly face in front of Fifth Brother. Jill, what exactly did you mean by telling me to build a good relationship with the Gu family?"
Jill laughed, "Since Fifth Master has chosen to take Gu Jueye's place, and the real Gu Jueye died in the Kunlun Mountains, Fifth Master will be Gu Jueye from now on. So, if you want to marry Fifth Master, you naturally have to get past the Gu family first. I've heard that during Bai Qianmo's relationship with Gu Jueye, his parents were very opposed to them being together, especially Gu Jueye's mother. As the eldest daughter of the Qin family, a noble lady, she naturally looks down on a woman of Bai Qianmo's lowly birth. So, this Madam Gu is the key to defeating Bai Qianmo. As long as Madam Gu doesn't agree to Bai Qianmo entering the family, Bai Qianmo's wishful thinking will be ruined."
After hearing Jill's words, Lisa suddenly understood.
“Yes, the current Fifth Brother is Gu Jueye. Even if he's just pretending, as long as he takes on Gu Jueye's identity, Fifth Brother will have to consider the attitude of Gu's parents. Jill, how do I contact this Madam Gu?”
"I've already inquired for you. Every Tuesday morning, Mrs. Gu goes to the Baodeli Beauty Salon near her home for a beauty treatment. In the afternoon, she goes to the Geyun Tea Restaurant for afternoon tea with several ladies she's close to. These are the two places she frequents. If you go there, you're sure to be able to get in touch with her."
