Chapter 498 The Beautiful Woman in the Sadomasochistic Story (39)
The Shen family's banquet was held at the Shen family's house in the suburbs.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Zeyan took Su Yu there. The house had a simple and ancient style and was very old-fashioned.
At this moment, servants were busy shuttling around the house. The luxurious modern decoration and the quaint house seemed to be in two different time and space. In order to take care of the guests, red wine and champagne were piled up into towers on the rosewood table, next to which was a rockery stream.
Su Yu looked at the strange arrangement and fell into deep thought.
Gu Zeyan laughed: "It must be that Chen Yanhui had someone do it. Only he would think it looks good this way."
Once inside, the decoration was much more normal.
The house is only rustic in appearance, but its interior is more modern in decoration. It is arranged as a banquet hall without looking out of place, and it adds a sense of heaviness of time.
They didn't arrive early, and the banquet hall was already bustling with people.
Chen Yan came back to entertain him and scolded him: "Aze, if you don't come, I will call you to urge you."
Seeing Su Yu, Shen Yanhui's expression was complicated.
Su Yu didn't have a good look towards him either. She took Gu Zeyan's hand, raised her chin and walked into the banquet hall without even looking at him.
The despised Shen Yanhui was speechless for a moment.
Following the two of them, he thought for a moment, then went over and quietly reminded them, "Zhou Mingxu is here too, so take it easy when you meet. This is the old man's birthday party after all, so don't ruin the party."
Shen Yanhui also said the same thing to Zhou Mingxu.
Gu Zeyan already knew this, his expression did not change, but his voice became colder: "I know."
Su Yu quietly reduced her presence.
Gu Zeyan glanced at the person who was cowering beside him, and the coldness in his eyes faded a little. No matter what happened before, after all, the person was his now, and no one could take her away.
The birthday banquet had not yet begun, and people in the banquet hall were chatting and laughing in groups of three or four.
Gu Zeyan glanced around and didn't see Zhou Mingxu.
"This is the front hall. Mr. Shen doesn't like to come here. The real banquet venue is in the backyard. Eat something to fill your stomach and sit here to rest for a while. I'll pick you up when it's almost time."
As he spoke, Gu Zeyan looked down at the almost ten-centimeter-high high heels on Su Yu's feet, feeling quite helpless.
Su Yu thought so too: "Okay."
Before leaving, Gu Zeyan sternly warned: "Don't drink alcohol, not even a drop."
Su Yu was dissatisfied when she heard this: "Why?"
Gu Zeyan narrowed his eyes and threatened: "Do you still want a private jet?"
Su Yu didn't buy it. She raised her eyebrow, raised her chin slightly and said proudly: "Are you threatening me?"
After staring at each other in silence for a long time, Gu Zeyan compromised and softened his voice: "The wine here is not good. It looks beautiful, but it tastes very bitter."
Su Yu was suspicious: "Really?"
Regardless of whether it was true or false, Su Yu finally promised Gu Zeyan not to drink. Anyway, she didn't like drinking that much.
Before leaving, Gu Zeyan looked around the banquet hall but did not see Zhou Mingxu.
I think it's with the old man.
After stopping for a while, several business partners came over and congratulated him on getting the big order. Gu's glory was still to come.
While congratulating him, he did not forget to beat around the bush and test whether Gu Zeyan was willing to let others have a share.
"Mr. Gu has so many projects on hand, I'm jealous."
What should you do if you are jealous? The project is in someone else's hands. If you want to get a piece of the pie, the best way is to throw money at it, throw a lot of money at it. A better way to put it is investment.
They just didn't believe that Gu's could take on such a big project.
Gu Zeyan smiled faintly: "I heard that Mr. He is very familiar with Mr. Zhao from Huajing Bank?"
When Mr. He heard this, he knew there was something going on: "Of course I am familiar with him."
How could he not be familiar with his brother-in-law?
Mr. He's originally small eyes narrowed into slits when he smiled: "Mr. Gu, please move over to discuss in detail?"
Gu Zeyan nodded: "Please come in, Mr. He."
Su Yu didn’t understand business matters. After seeing Gu Zeyan leave with a group of suited CEOs, she stopped looking at him and sat in the lounge area to eat snacks.
Eat slowly, in small bites.
She looked down at her tightened waist and thought anxiously that she should not have worn this dress earlier. It was so tight that she didn't dare eat too much.
Suddenly, someone put a glass of water next to her, with a note under the glass.
The waiter didn't look away and left as soon as the drink was served.
Su Yu raised her eyes, did not drink the water of unknown origin, and just took the note.
The piece of paper was not big, with only four words written on it: A chat at the rockery.
Su Yu recognized it as Zhou Mingxu's handwriting at a glance.
It’s not that she knows Zhou Mingxu very well, but when she was in high school, besides Gu Zeyan, Zhou Mingxu was the only one who often helped her with her homework, and over time she became familiar with his handwriting.
Su Yu hesitated for a moment, but still got up and went over.
It was a little dark outside, and Su Yu saw the rockery at a glance. However, with so many people coming and going, anyone with a little bit of common sense would not make an appointment there.
Su Yu looked around and found another rockery in an inconspicuous corner.
The distance was quite far, and Su Yu walked over in ten-centimeter high heels and almost sprained her ankle on a stone.
Going around to the back, I saw a man with his back straight and firm.
Hearing the noise, the man turned around, his eyes and brows were firm and bright, but also tinged with a bit of sadness, as if he had a lot on his mind.
When he saw Su Yu again, Zhou Mingxu opened his mouth but didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Pfft!" Su Yu burst out laughing and pointed at him, unable to suppress her smile, "Zhou Mingxu, why did you become darker?"
The sad atmosphere disappeared in an instant.
Zhou Mingxu was helpless and explained: "You get darker if you get too much sun."
It took Su Yu a long time to stop laughing.
Thinking of the note just now, she asked, "Did you ask someone to pass the note to me?"
Zhou Mingxu was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yeah."
He stared at Su Yu, his eyes filled with longing and guilt that had been suppressed for more than three years: "Su Yu, long time no see."
Su Yu rolled her eyes, glanced at him, and snorted, "It's been a long time. I was waiting for you abroad. I thought you regretted not wanting to see me."
Thinking back to the past, Zhou Mingxu felt even more guilty.
"I'm sorry, there was a reason for what happened... No matter what, I'm sorry for you." He took a step forward gently, "How have you been these three years?"
Su Yu lied with her eyes open: "Not at all. Do you know how much it costs to be abroad? If it weren't for the money Gu Zeyan gave me before, I would have starved to death."
It is impossible to starve to death.
When Su Yu was abroad, Mrs. Gu covered most of her expenses, including tuition and living expenses. Even when she was not used to living in the dormitory and rented a house outside, it was Mrs. Gu who paid her rent.
Apart from breaking up her and Gu Zeyan, there was nothing wrong with Mrs. Gu's actions.
Zhou Mingxu felt a dry throat.
The incident happened too suddenly at the time, and he tried to find a way to contact Su Yu, but unfortunately he failed to do so.
Of course he couldn't get in touch with him, because Su Yu blocked all his contact information as soon as she went abroad.
Gu Zeyan received the same treatment.
Zhou Mingxu looked remorseful, his throat dry: "Sorry."
"Forget it. It's been a long time since the incident happened." Su Yu raised her eyebrows and looked at him. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
