Gu Yilou met his younger brother's gaze, turned away somewhat uncomfortably, and spoke on the phone with his back to him.
At this time, he was unaware that Qin Yiheng had already chosen an auspicious day to formally visit the Gu family. However, the two shared the same idea: regardless of how the elders might react, their attitude had to be respectful.
To everyone's surprise, Old Zhou on the other end of the phone exclaimed, "Visiting an important elder? You've found a partner too?"
also?
Gu Yilou was stunned.
Old Zhou on the other end of the phone continued, "Xiao Heng contacted me a couple of days ago, asking me to find a good date for him. You two brothers aren't getting married on the same day, are you?"
marry?
Gu Yilou's gaze narrowed slightly. After a moment, he replied, "No, Elder Zhou, please make sure the date is different from Aheng's."
"Okay, I've calculated it and will send you the date."
"Thanks."
After the call ended, Gu Yilou turned around and explained to his younger brother, "I think it would be better to pay a formal visit."
Gu Yunzhen suppressed a laugh and cleared his throat twice: "Big brother, you don't need to tell me, you and Heng-ge can decide."
Gu Yilou hummed in agreement, his face slightly flushed.
About an hour later, Gu Yilou received a message from Elder Zhou that the 14th of next month would be an auspicious day, belonging to the Cheng day among the Twelve Jianxing, indicating that everything would be accomplished and all things would be suitable.
Gu Yilou called the secretary-general and canceled all social engagements scheduled for November 14th.
He wanted to set aside this day to visit the Qin family.
That afternoon, all the online trolls who were stirring up trouble received lawyer's letters from the Qin Group.
The leader of the online army sought help from others, but they all declined after learning that he had offended the Qin Group.
They are all small companies; how could they dare to compete with the Qin Group?
The leader of the online army had nowhere to turn for help and had no choice but to turn himself in to the police station in hopes of leniency. He angrily implicated Xiao Jingming.
The moment Xiao Jingming saw the police officer, the year the Xiao family went bankrupt suddenly came to mind.
But he is not the same person he used to be.
Xiao Jingming invited them in and said gently, "Please wait for me for five minutes, thank you, I need to make a phone call."
He took out his phone in front of them and called Qin Yiheng.
After the call connected, Xiao Jingming said calmly, "I've already told you, everything was instigated by Master Meng. I have to obey his orders, otherwise my family and children will never have peace."
To everyone's surprise, Qin Yiheng said, "Tell me your story properly when you give your statement, and I won't wrong you."
Xiao Jingming frowned: "With our friendship of so many years, do you know what you're saying? You really want to send an old friend to jail?"
Qin Yiheng on the other end of the phone narrowed his eyes.
Is Xiao Jingming out of his mind, repeating the same old tune? What's the point of making this call at such a crucial moment?
"What old friend? If you considered us friends, you wouldn't have done something like this!"
“I told you last time that none of this was my intention. If you hadn’t stopped me when I asked Gu Yilou to get together last time, none of this would have happened today!”
Xiao Jingming didn't know if Qin Yiheng could understand him, since there was no tacit understanding between them.
"That's fine then."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Jingming calmly followed the police officer out the door.
Qin Yiheng already suspected that Xiao Jingming had something in mind, and now that he heard that Xiao Jingming wanted to invite Brother Lou out again, an address immediately came to mind.
Could it be that Xiao Jingming hid something there?
Qin Yiheng's eyes darkened, and after thinking for a while, he called Qin Buyu.
"Go to Zijing Pavilion right away and look for anything Xiao Jingming left behind in the private room he usually stays in."
Xiao Jingming must have been there recently and instructed that the area not to be cleaned.
After hearing Qin Buyu's response, Qin Yiheng hung up the phone.
He planned to work overtime these next few days to handle company matters so he could free up some time to see Master Meng.
Although Gu Si didn't want him to get involved, the other party had already crossed his line and was also involved with him, so he was determined to settle this score with them!
Master Meng has gone into hiding. The best way is to use him as bait to lure the snake out of its hole!
Because Master Meng hated him and Gu Si for ruining his plans.
But in every respect, he is more suitable than Gu Si.
So he might have to stand Lou Ge up.
When Qin Yiheng thought of the phone call from Old Zhou saying that Brother Lou had chosen an auspicious date, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, and his adrenaline surged.
When he comes back, he will definitely apologize to Brother Lou with a bundle of thorns on his back!
At 5 p.m., Qin Yiheng received a call from Gu Yilou.
He tossed aside his pen, leaned back lazily in his leather chair, and answered the call, saying, "Brother Lou."
Gu Yilou's eyelids twitched, and he hummed in response, "Are you very busy today?"
Do you want to hear a lie, or sweet words?
"..."
Gu Yilou almost blurted out a romantic phrase, but was speechless for a moment.
Qin Yiheng on the other end of the phone smiled slightly. "Hmm? Why isn't Brother Lou saying anything?"
Immediately, Gu Yilou told him bluntly, "Xiao Bao and I are staying at the Gu residence tonight. Don't cook for us when you go back."
Qin Yiheng was surprised by the coincidence and replied, "Okay."
Gu Yilou was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised that he agreed so readily. Was he being sarcastic?
"Ahem, I'll pack some luggage tonight and take it over tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yiheng's smile deepened: "Brother Lou, you can stay for another three days without any problem. I have to work overtime at the company, so I won't go back to sleep."
So he wasn't being sarcastic after all. Gu Yilou looked slightly embarrassed, but thankfully Gu Yilou couldn't see it.
However, Gu Yilou was quite puzzled: "Are you going to work overtime?"
Qin Yiheng said meaningfully, "Yes, make time for other things."
Do something else? Gu Yilou's thoughts wandered, thinking he meant visiting elders, but then he thought, he'd been working overtime for three days, how much time would that take?
After visiting his elders, what does he want to do in his spare time?
Some images flashed through Gu Yilou's mind, but he immediately shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore, and said, "Then you go ahead and do your work, bye-bye."
Qin Yiheng teased him deliberately, "Brother Lou, aren't you going to come and keep me company? I haven't had dinner yet, and I'm craving seafood from that restaurant."
Gu Yilou's eyelids twitched again, and he suggested, "Eat something light tonight. Seafood is high in cholesterol and fat, so don't eat it if you're working overtime."
"I understand. Maintaining a good figure is also a way of respecting your partner."
With a tone of sudden realization, Qin Yiheng said in a serious tone, "As long as Brother Lou comes over, we can eat first and then do our exercise!"
Gu Yilou: "..."
What does he know? What does this have to do with body shape? He's concerned about his health!
As for the last sentence, Gu Yilou chose to ignore it.
He reminded me, "Eat on time, and remember not to work too late. Goodbye."
Upon hearing Qin Yiheng's approval, Gu Yilou ended the call.
He pressed his temples, feeling that Ah Heng's words had become increasingly explicit lately, and sometimes he couldn't tell whether he was doing it on purpose or genuinely feeling it.
But he was happy overall, wasn't he?
