Chapter 90
"Wait a minute!" Ding Pingzhou stopped the receptionist. He remembered that he had a new number. This number was not blocked by Jiang Nuo, but the number that he blocked when Gu Jiangkuo passionately insulted him last time.
"Sir, please go out." Two security guards rushed over, speaking politely but ready to chase him away at any time.
"Wait! Wait!" Ding Pingzhou quickly removed Jiang Nuo from the blacklist and finally made the call.
Not long after the phone rang, Jiang Nuo's voice came from the other end of the receiver, "Hello."
Ding Pingzhou covered the phone and said quickly, "Xiao Nuo, it's me—don't hang up yet! I want to talk to you about Mr. Gu. There are so many people here. You don't want me to talk to you on the phone, do you?"
.
Five minutes later, the front desk received a call from Secretary Wang. Ding Pingzhou straightened his coat and strode in.
Mr. Jiang was the only one in the large CEO office. Ding Pingzhou walked in, looked around, and was about to reminisce about their past life together when Jiang Nuo said, "We only have five minutes. Speak quickly."
Ding Pingzhou said unhappily, "Xiao Nuo, there's no need for you to do this on purpose."
There was a knock on the door. After Mr. Jiang signaled, Secretary Xiao Wang opened the door and reminded him, "Mr. Jiang, the meeting is about to begin."
"knew."
After sending Xiao Wang away, Jiang Nuo said to Ding Pingzhou, "As you can see, the Jiang family is thriving these days, so things are quite hectic. I really don't have time to receive you. So, just be frank. What happened to Gu Jiangkuo?"
The thing about Gu Jiangkuo that cannot be said in front of others should be his life experience.
If Ding Pingzhou threatened him with this matter, the threat would not last long. After all, Gu Jiangkuo would have to return to his roots sooner or later, perhaps in the next one or two years.
"Don't you have anything else to say to me now? Can you only talk about Gu Jiangkuo?" Ding Pingzhou whispered painfully, "Xiao Nuo, how can you be so cruel?"
Mr. Jiang frowned, looked at his watch again impatiently, and stood up to get his suit jacket.
Ding Pingzhou probably finally realized that talking about feelings with Jiang Nuo at this time would make him look very stupid, so he took a deep breath and quietly turned on the recording function of his mobile phone.
"Xiao Nuo, what I want to talk to you about is simple. You already know Gu Jiangkuo's background, right? Admit it, your motives for approaching him are not pure."
This direction of the negotiations was beyond Jiang Nuo's expectations.
Mr. Jiang paused in taking the clothes and looked at him with raised eyebrows.
Ding Pingzhou: "Why would you be so open-hearted to someone of unknown origin? People like us, out of pity for a poor person, can understandably help him, but what did you do? You even took his elderly family home with you! This is simply unreasonable."
"Xiao Nuo, Mr. Gu has a strong background and is very wealthy, but there is no need to sacrifice so much just to curry favor with him, even giving him your body and your child."
Ding Pingzhou spoke deliberately, emphasizing each word.
It seemed like he was deliberately trying to provoke Jiang Nuo and force him to tell the truth.
Sure enough, anger surfaced on President Jiang's face, but it didn't last long before it faded away. President Jiang raised his lips, his glass-like eyes brimming with a smile, though the smile didn't reach his eyes. He said slowly and firmly, "Why is it illogical? Can't it be because I fell in love with him at first sight?"
“!”
Ding Pingzhou never expected to hear such an answer and was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Nuo put one hand on his suit and moved closer. "Is it hard to understand? Gu Jiangkuo is a handsome man, tall and strong. At first glance, he is much stronger than you. Where do you get the confidence to keep pestering me? Do you think I need you when I already have him?"
Ding Pingzhou was led astray by jealousy: "What do you mean by 'strong'? How is he stronger than me?"
Mr. Jiang did not answer, but directly pressed the back of his hand. The sudden physical contact made Ding Pingzhou shudder all over, and he felt doubts and a hint of secret joy in his heart. Xiao Nuo, what does this mean?
Why are you suddenly willing to touch him?
Immediately afterwards, he felt that Jiang Nuo took his mobile phone, held it in front of Ding Pingzhou, and pressed the stop recording button in front of him.
Ding Pingzhou: “!”
Mr. Jiang mouthed silently, "Stop playing these dirty tricks and making me look down on you."
After saying that, he walked out without looking back, asked Xiao Wang to see the guest off, and went straight to the meeting room.
He left without any hesitation and in a cool manner, leaving Ding Pingzhou looking at his back with mixed feelings: the loss and embarrassment of the failed plan, and the ever-increasing love for Xiao Nuo.
It turns out he is so smart that he can see through other people's tricks at a glance.
In my previous life, I was really blind and underestimated him.
But only Mr. Jiang knew how close he was to victory! He had almost fallen into Ding Pingzhou's trap. If Ding Pingzhou had successfully sent the recording to Gu Jiangkuo, what would Gu Jiangkuo think of him?
The most terrifying thing is that this is the truth. He was eager to help Gu Jiangkuo at the beginning, but his motives were not pure.
Jiang Nuo didn't know how she would explain this matter if it was really revealed to him one day, and whether Gu Jiangkuo would still believe that she liked him.
.
After Ding Pingzhou was "asked out" of the president's office, Xiao Wang followed him diligently, determined to personally escort him out of Jiang's Building. However, as luck would have it, he happened to meet Gu Jiangkuo who was coming out of the gym.
Even though the building has heating, the temperature in the corridor still requires wearing a sweater. However, Gu Jiangkuo was only wearing a black quick-drying vest. Sweat was still dripping from his forehead. His strong and full biceps and thick and strong chest muscles rose and fell with his breathing. It was obvious that he had just finished working out.
When Ding Pingzhou had money and free time in the past, he would go to the gym, train his muscles and maintain his body shape, but he had never reached this level. Gu Jiangkuo did look very "strong", and Ding Pingzhou felt uncomfortable when he looked at him.
This person is better than him in every way.
"Bodyguard Gu, nice to see you again." Ding Pingzhou said, "I didn't even know there was a gym at the Jiang headquarters."
Secretary Xiao Wang was also very good at talking. He continued, "Our General Manager Jiang knew that Assistant Gu liked to exercise, so he specially decorated this place. The equipment was all imported from abroad."
"You can't say that, Sister Wang. This is a benefit the boss gives to all employees." Gu Jiangkuo corrected her, but he couldn't hide his smugness. He looked at Ding Pingzhou provocatively, "Mr. Ding, why did you come to our company? How did you get in? President Jiang will definitely be angry if he knows."
Ding Pingzhou: “…………”
He never knew that Mr. Gu, who was always so arrogant, actually had such a... uh, green tea side. He was just like a powerful and charming concubine favored by the emperor.
I don't know how to show off.
Ding Pingzhou unconsciously put herself into the role of the abandoned concubine banished to the cold palace and took a deep breath. "It was President Jiang who asked me to come. Bodyguard Gu, can you please excuse me?"
Gu Jiangkuo was unexpectedly cheerful: "Little Sister Wang, go and have a rest. I'll take Mr. Ding out later."
.
Ding Pingzhou simply omitted the inexplicable matter of "rebirth" and repeated to Gu Jiangkuo what he had just said to Jiang Nuo.
Gu Jiangkuo summed it up for him: "You're saying that I'm actually a wealthy young man who's drifting away, and Xiao Nuo already knew about this, so his motives for approaching me are impure?"
Ding Pingzhou: "That's right."
Gu Jiangkuo slowly wiped the sweat off his face with a white towel and sneered, "Nonsense."
Xiao Nuo clearly recognized the so-called Gu family keepsake handkerchief from her grandmother's old things box a few months ago, and it was from then on that she actively helped him investigate... Wait, Ding Pingzhou also knew about this?
Gu Jiangkuo narrowed his eyes.
Ding Pingzhou continued to persuade: "Use common sense to infer that which normal person would take a sick old man home out of kindness? Do you know how difficult it is to take care of an elderly person with dementia..."
Before he could finish his words, Ding Pingzhou's neck was grabbed by Gu Jiangkuo's big hand and he was thrown against the wall with a muffled sound.
A colleague looked over from a distance and saw that Gu Jiangkuo had a conflict with a stranger, so no one came over.
Gu Jiangkuo rolled his shoulders and said to the terrified Ding Pingzhou, "I'm sorry, I'm a bodyguard by profession and don't have the qualities."
Ding Pingzhou was still leaning against the wall, his legs a little weak, and he looked at the tall Gu Jiangkuo with a pale face, not daring to say another word.
Gu Jiangkuo took another step closer and whispered in his ear, "I really hate it when others try to sow discord between Nuonuo and me, let alone you. Who the hell do you think you are?"
"You don't think I don't know what you're thinking, do you? You're thinking about Nuonuo, and you're hoping there's going to be a rift between us so you can take advantage of it."
Ding Pingzhou used his last bit of courage to defend himself: "No, Mr. Gu, I, I said it all true, you can think about it..."
"I don't know how you know about the Nanyang Gu family," Gu Jiangkuo said coldly, "but I advise you not to conduct any more useless investigations."
"Let's take a step back and say that even if Nuonuo approached me with ulterior motives, that's fine too. I'm honored to have this opportunity for him to approach me," Gu Jiangkuo said. "After all, I also had ulterior motives towards him."
Ding Pingzhou: “?!” What’s going on?
Then Mr. Gu continued, "From the first moment I saw him, I thought he was the one for me. If one day..."
Gu Jiangkuo knew that "getting up together" was a more elegant and romantic way of saying it, but the person in front of him was Ding Pingzhou, not Nuonuo, so he didn't need to consider his feelings.
"My biggest dream is to be able to sleep in the same bed with him one day, to be able to take care of him and protect him."
