Chapter 228 I didn’t expect it to be you
Xu Ge didn't look away until the two figures walked away, but when she turned her head, she met Zhou Chen's dark gaze, which made her blink.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Having said that, Xu Ge looked away feeling a little guilty and wanted to pick up the glass of champagne at hand.
"Know them or have you met them before?"
The champagne in his hand swayed slightly, and Xu Ge looked at him with a confused look on his face, shaking his head, "I don't know him. This is the first time I've seen him."
Zhou Chen stared at her for a long time before looking away.
Xu Ge quickly raised his head and took a sip of champagne, feeling a little uneasy.
Zhou Chen must have checked her work, so does he know that the woman Feng Youcai is looking for is her?
Just as she was daydreaming, He Jinyang beside her suddenly said something.
"Hey, Achen, is there any news about that Monroe hybrid yet?"
Xu Ge couldn't help but glance at He Jinyang. This guy was really talking about things that were not related to the topic, so she curled her red lips.
"Who is Miss Monroe? Is my uncle looking for her?"
He Jinyang immediately shut his mouth, having almost forgotten that these two had had an affair before.
So he coughed a few times quickly, "Oh, that Miss Monroe is actually the ex-girlfriend of Feng Youcai just now. That woman is quite cruel. She teamed up with Feng Youcai's wife to trick him badly. You can also see that Feng Youcai has hooked up with that wife, so he asked Achen to find someone."
Xu Ge nodded, not quite understanding. "I see you're quite polite to that lady. Such a powerful person is asking my uncle to find someone for her?"
He Jinyang raised his eyebrows. "It's not easy to look for her in a high-profile manner because of her status. But that woman is quite powerful. It's like she disappeared into thin air."
Seeing this, Xu Ge took the opportunity to say, "If I were a female con man, I would have disappeared long ago after defrauding people. Why would I wait for others to come to me?"
He Jinyang nodded in agreement, but he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Chen.
This glance is somewhat ambiguous.
"What's wrong?"
He Jinyang shook his head and smiled, "It's okay."
But in his heart he thought, after all they had slept together, maybe the person had already been found, but Ah Chen let him go out of their friendship and even extended a helping hand.
Otherwise, how could she be just a woman and not find any clues for so long?
He heard that Feng Youcai was unwilling to give up, and that the lady had not only asked Achen to help find someone.
But that Miss Marilyn Monroe seemed to have disappeared.
Xu Ge put down the cup and turned to look at Zhou Chen, "I'm going to the bathroom."
"Um."
He Jinyang couldn't help but poke Zhou Chen's arm after watching the figure walk away.
"You really didn't find that mixed-race beauty?"
Zhou Chen raised his arm and took a sip of red wine, glanced at him and said lightly: "What does it have to do with you?"
He Jinyang was choked by him, "I'm just worried that Xiaoge will find out. If she knew you slept with another woman, how sad would she be?"
Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Then why didn't you control your mouth and bring it up in front of her? Did you do it on purpose?"
He Jinyang choked again, "I didn't forget for a moment, did I? As long as we don't say anything, Xiaoge won't suspect anything. Didn't I already tell you that you were asked to help find someone? Don't worry."
After that, He Jinyang asked again, "Are you really determined to marry Xiaoge?"
"Are there any other candidates?" Zhou Chen said in a deep voice.
He Jinyang opened his mouth, but couldn't even say a name. When they found out that he was going to marry Xu Ge, they didn't seem shocked or surprised, and seemed to take it for granted.
"So you want to marry Xiaoge because you love her?"
Zhou Chen frowned slightly and looked at him with disgust.
"Don't ask such stupid questions."
He Jinyang: "..."
In the bathroom, Xu Ge made sure that no one else was inside before taking out his cell phone and dialing William's number.
The people over there had obviously gone to bed.
"Xu Ge? Is there something wrong with calling me so late?"
"I'm sorry to bother you, but I just wanted to ask if the company will keep archives of the cases we've taken on before?"
"Yes, it will be saved, but it's all classified as top-level confidential. Even if I want to view it, I have to seek permission from above. Why are you asking this suddenly?"
Xu Ge paused and said, "I want you to delete the archived files about Feng Youcai's case for me, is that okay?"
William suddenly stopped talking, and after a moment he apologized.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I don't have the authority. Did something happen?"
"Feng Youcai is still looking for me, and he's hooked up with a very powerful person. I'm thinking that maybe deleting the save file would be safer for both of us."
"Is it that serious?"
"At least, the Zhou and He families are very polite to that powerful person. If I am really found out, I shouldn't be in trouble. After all, I will soon become Mrs. Zhou. I am just worried about the detective agency."
"Wait a moment. I'll communicate what you said to the higher-ups and apply for your request."
Xu Ge's brows relaxed. "Okay, thank you for your help. Please reply as soon as possible. Feng Youcai's case is ordinary, but the person behind him is definitely not ordinary. We should try to solve the problem from the root. This is just a small case. Deleting the file will not have any impact on the company."
"Okay, I understand. Wait for my news."
"Ok, I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."
Xu Ge breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone. He walked out of the cubicle, looked in the mirror, and then lowered his head to wash his hands.
Until the sound of high heels came from behind him, Xu Ge didn't pay attention at first. It was the women's restroom, so it was normal for someone to come there.
But the footsteps obviously paused as they came in.
Xu Ge withdrew his hand and slowly looked up at the mirror in front of him. Sure enough, he saw Wang Qian behind him.
Wang Qian was staring at her without blinking, but didn't say anything.
Xu Ge would not take the initiative to say hello, and she was not a cheapskate. It was obvious that the other person didn't like her or even hated her, so why would she take the initiative to say hello?
So she just looked at her indifferently and then looked away, turned around and took a few clean tissues to wipe her hands.
Just when she was about to leave without looking back, Wang Qian seemed to be unable to help but speak first.
"Xu Ge."
Xu Ge stopped when she heard that. It wasn't because she wanted to stop, but just out of courtesy. After all, she was now Zhou Chen's fiancée.
She curled her red lips slightly, then looked at Wang Qian seriously, and nodded slightly after a few seconds.
"Hello, Miss Wang."
Wang Qian stared at her face for a long time, and her eyes fell on the ruby ring on her hand. She had an inexplicable look on her face, and she sneered as if she was thinking of something.
"I always thought my opponent would be Chi Yan, but I didn't expect it to be you."
Xu Ge raised her eyebrows slightly but said nothing.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Wang Qian clenched her fists and said, "If I knew that the person Zhou Chen was going to marry was not Chi Yan, I wouldn't give up on him so easily."
Xu Ge didn't look away until the two figures walked away, but when she turned her head, she met Zhou Chen's dark gaze, which made her blink.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Having said that, Xu Ge looked away feeling a little guilty and wanted to pick up the glass of champagne at hand.
