Chapter 430: I've Misunderstood You for So Long
Although Jiang Yuxu had prejudices against Gui Qing before, he never denied her work ability and dedication.
During the time when the two were entangled, Gui Qing would occasionally get up at night to deal with emails from the headquarters. He ran into her a few times and asked her a question, and she smiled and said: There's nothing I can do, I'm short of money.
At that time, he actually believed that she worked so hard to make money.
Also, her car and house - they must have been bought for her by her mother.
Jiang Yuxu was thinking all the way, and before he knew it, the car had already driven into the basement of the apartment.
He had just turned off the engine and unbuckled his seatbelt when his phone vibrated.
It was a WeChat message from Zhan Mo.
Zhan Mo sent five or six photos at once, followed by a voice message.
Jiang Yuxu clicked on the voice message and then heard Zhan Mo's startled voice: "Oh my god, look at the photos I sent. That rich woman with Xie Yuan must be at least forty years old! Why do I feel that she looks a bit like Gui Qing? Could it be that Xie Yuan likes this look and collects stamps here?"
Jiang Yuxu frowned at Zhan Mo's noisy voice and turned down the volume of his phone a few notches.
He did not reply to Zhan Mo's message, but clicked on the photos he sent, looking at them one by one -
The protagonists of the photos are Xie Yuan and another woman. The two behaved intimately. When walking together, Xie Yuan hugged her, helped her carry her bag, and fed her water. He was so considerate.
The woman looks extraordinary and her nobility can be seen just from the photo - her face shows no signs of age, but such aura would be impossible without enough time to settle.
One of the photos captured her face with very clear pixels.
Jiang Yuxu stared at the person in the photo for a while, and his right eyelid twitched.
picture.
It really looks alike.
It's like you can confirm their relationship without asking.
Jiang Yuxu looked at the intimate behavior of the two people in the photo, thought of his previous speculations, and wanted to slap himself in the face.
No wonder Gui Qing always had that expression every time he heard him ask about Xie Yuan.
No wonder she said to him, "I know his wife well too."
...She's her biological mother, how could she not be familiar with her?
Xie Yuan is not her financial backer, but her stepfather.
Jiang Yuxu held the phone in his hand, his head leaning against the seat, his temples aching slightly.
It was because he had previously had too deep a prejudice against Gui Qing. When he saw the opposite sex around her, he unconsciously associated it with that relationship, and she never bothered to explain.
If he hadn't learned about her mother from Qiao Wan in advance today and received these photos from Zhan Mo, he would probably still be misunderstanding the relationship between Gui Qing and Xie Yu'an like a fool.
When Jiang Yuxu had a headache, his cell phone started vibrating again.
This time Zhan Mo called directly.
Jiang Yuxu picked up the phone casually. Before he could even open his mouth, Zhan Mo couldn't wait to ask, "Have you seen the photos I sent you? This Xie Yuan is playing around too much. You should remind Gui Qing right away, lest she be—"
"Are you stupid?" Jiang Yuxu interrupted Zhan Mo.
Zhan Mo: "??? Are you scolding me?"
Jiang Yuxu couldn't bear to watch him anymore since he still hadn't reacted. "Use your brain to think about why the woman in the photo looks so much like her."
Zhan Mo: "Why else? Isn't it because Xie Yuan likes this style——"
"That's her mother!" Jiang Yuxu interrupted him.
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhan Mo on WeChat suddenly fell silent.
After about twenty seconds, he exclaimed, "Fuck...Xie Yu'an has really strong tastes. Mother and daughter together, I just..."
"Shut up." Jiang Yuxu was speechless at Zhan Mo's imagination, "Put away the dirty crap in your head."
Zhan Mo: “…”
Jiang Yuxu: "Xie Yuan is her mother's boyfriend. Can't you see such a simple thing?"
"Hey, I was just joking with you." Zhan Mo laughed dryly, "I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere."
Jiang Yuxu: "Not funny."
Zhan Mo: "Tsk, I didn't expect that my casual words would come true."
Jiang Yuxu: "What did you say before?"
Zhan Mo repeated, "A man who spends so much money on a woman and doesn't ask for anything in return, unless he's her father."
"Oh my, I didn't expect it to be my dad." Zhan Mo said, "Fortunately, you haven't had time to offend him yet, otherwise you would have no chance of wooing this wife."
Jiang Yuxu: "Thank you for the photos. That's it for now."
Zhan Mo: "What's next?"
Jiang Yuxu: "Hmm?"
Zhan Mo: "You've misunderstood me for so long, shouldn't you apologize?"
Jiang Yuxu said "hmm" and then hung up.
He intended to apologize, but an apology on WeChat seemed insincere, so he decided to wait until he said it in person.
After chatting with Zhan Mo, Jiang Yuxu got out of the car and went upstairs. He felt relaxed for the first time in a long time, even more relaxed than after an important lawsuit.
——
Gui Qinggui knew nothing about what happened to Jiang Yuxu. The next morning, she arrived at the law firm at the usual time.
Gui Qing walked into the office while on a work call. Just as she was about to close the door, she was startled by the man standing opposite her.
If she hadn't been so mentally strong, she would have screamed out loud by now.
Gui Qing touched his chest and calmed his breathing, then ended the work call as quickly as possible.
She put down her phone and looked at the man standing in front of her desk with a bad expression.
Although she didn't say anything, Jiang Yuxu could tell what she wanted to say from her expression: What are you doing here?
Jiang Yuxu covered his mouth and coughed calmly, "I brought you breakfast."
Gui Qing: "I've eaten."
Jiang Yuxu: "Latte, save it for the morning."
"You're being nice." Gui Qing crossed her arms, took a few steps toward him, and looked him up and down. "Tell me, is there anything you need my cooperation with?"
Jiang Yuxu: "...Is it possible that the only reason I'm looking for you is for work?"
Gui Qing raised an eyebrow and deliberately asked, "What else? Didn't Lawyer Jiang say it himself? When we're at the law firm, we only talk about work."
Jiang Yuxu couldn't refute it, because he was indeed the one who said it and he remembered it clearly.
He will not run away from what happened.
After a moment of silence, he said seriously: "That was in the past. We can talk about other things later."
Gui Qing spread his hands, "But it seems we have nothing to talk about."
Jiang Yuxu said stubbornly, "I'm here to apologize to you."
Gui Qing's curiosity was piqued by his words: "Apologize? Why is Jiang Lu apologizing to me for no reason?"
Jiang Yuxu: "I misunderstood you before about Xie Yuan."
Although he is a bit awkward, he never evades or denies his mistakes after doing them. If he is wrong, he is wrong. There is no need to make excuses for himself. Apologizing is the best option.
"I was too prejudiced against you and misunderstood your relationship with him. I'm sorry." Jiang Yuxu apologized solemnly.
Gui Qing raised an eyebrow.
She didn't respond immediately, but walked forward a few steps, picked up the latte he handed her and took a sip.
Well, luckily he had a good memory and chose the Gesha she liked.
Gui Qing thought about it for a moment before turning around and asking him, "How did you know?"
Jiang Yuxu pursed his lips, not knowing what to say to her.
If she knew that he had hired someone to investigate her and follow her and Xie Yuan, would she be even angrier?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuxu's shoulders became a little stiff. He was originally standing there very straight, and when he got nervous, he looked like a primary school student waiting for criticism from his teacher.
"You hired someone to follow him." Before Jiang Yuxu could answer, Gui Qing had already given the answer, "Did you take a picture of my mom?"
