Chapter 1269: Facing the Abyss
Xiao Chongyang did not take the initiative to say hello, but as a junior and a visitor, Gu Hanye still politely greeted Xiao Chongyang.
However, Xiao Chongyang just stared at him. Su Jiuyao didn't know how to describe that look. It was like a bottomless abyss, hiding all the obvious emotions.
No one could guess what he was thinking.
Su Jiuyao felt like she couldn't breathe. She took a deep breath and looked at Gu Hanye.
I saw that he also frowned.
The other party didn't speak to him and kept staring at him. He should have been confused, but Gu Hanye didn't show any discomfort or uneasiness. Instead, he responded to the look frankly.
It seems like it doesn't matter if the stalemate continues like this.
But this process actually only lasted a few seconds. The butler reminded the other party: "Sir?"
Xiao Zhongyang gave Gu Hanye an apologetic smile and said ashamedly, "I'm sorry, seeing Mr. Gu reminded me of my old friend."
As he said this, he looked deeply at Gu Hanye again, "You and your mother are indeed very similar."
"Do you know my mother?" Gu Hanye asked.
"We have been friends for many years, but I didn't expect her to leave so early."
Gu Hanye pursed his lips: "It's really a pity."
Su Jiuyao knew that Gu Hanye didn't want to talk about his mother.
She was just very surprised that this Mr. Xiao was actually an old friend of Gu Hanye's biological mother.
After being surprised, Su Jiuyao relaxed a lot.
Since Xiao Chongyang and Han Ye's mother are old friends, he shouldn't make things difficult for Gu Hanye, right?
This meeting, for which they had been preparing so carefully, might not be as difficult as they had imagined.
"Anyway, welcome to my humble abode. Please take a seat."
Afterwards, Xiao Chongyang sat on the single-seater sofa, while Su Jiuyao and Gu Hanye sat on the long hair.
After sitting down, Su Jiuyao secretly glanced at Gu Hanye.
He took it calmly, as if he treated everyone equally no matter who they were.
The palm of the hand holding hers was still dry and warm.
Su Jiuyao laughed at herself secretly. Gu Hanye had dealt with all kinds of big shots, and the world he saw was completely different from the one she saw.
His courage and bravery were beyond her imagination.
Afterwards, the butler served tea, during which time Gu Hanye also introduced Su Jiuyao to Xiao Chongyang.
After a brief greeting, the two did not exchange too much small talk and went straight to the point to discuss business.
Su Jiuyao always sat beside him and listened with a smile. She didn't like to talk much and preferred to observe.
Su Jiuyao didn't quite understand what they were talking about and wasn't interested in it.
So much so that, in front of such a big boss who gave people a strong sense of oppression, she looked at the lawn outside the window and even slacked off.
Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can just see the internal roads of the manor.
If Mr. Xiao had been standing at the window, he should have watched them drive into the manor and go through the gate.
What was he thinking at that time?
Su Jiuyao looked at the lawn covered with sunshine again. It was sunny outside and it was a warm spring, but inside, it was cold and dark like winter.
Even if the decorations around you are gorgeous and expensive, they will only add to the cold feeling.
Su Jiuyao couldn't quite understand the thoughts of people who lived in such a castle-like mansion.
Anyway, if she were to live here, she would imagine a horror movie in her mind, especially at night, walking alone in this empty big house, which is creepy just to think about.
Just as she was daydreaming, a cool, wet little nose nudged her hand.
Su Jiuyao was startled and looked down, only to see the big black dog standing on the side of the sofa, holding a toy frisbee in its mouth. It sat in front of her, wagging its tail with an expectant look on its face.
