Chapter 47: Jack is usually busy and asks his assistant to take care of him...
Normally, when he is busy, he asks his assistant to bring lunch to the office. Recently, Gu Qi has been very busy, which has given Hua Yichen some time to rest.
I have been here for such a long time, and I am busy with work every day. I stay in the office and have never walked around the company.
Feeling good and sunny, Hua Yichen decided to go out and find food by himself at noon today.
I had just decided on a place to eat when I ran into someone I knew.
Hua Yichen now had to admit that perhaps since he was bound to the system, he would have a lot of roles and might even be promoted.
Otherwise, how could we encounter it at every plot point?
What a coincidence that I came across the first-person perspective.
Looking through the wooden hollow partition in the restaurant, isn’t the original protagonist Shou Le’an standing not far away?
He was having dinner with a foreigner dressed in fancy clothes. He was not young and was probably several years older than Le An. The two of them were sitting face to face.
The foreigner looked angry, but Le An was timid and didn't dare to move at all. Every time he looked up, he looked flattering.
Thinking of what Ye Shubai had done, Hua Yichen instantly realized that the man next to Le'an was the son of a wealthy businessman he had hooked up with abroad. Unexpectedly, even if he was a son, he seemed much older than Le'an.
"Enjoy your meal, sir." The waiter brought everything Hua Yichen ordered.
Hua Yichen withdrew his gaze from the person opposite him, nodded slightly, took the cutlery handed to him by the waiter, and started eating.
After a busy morning, it was already noon and he was starving.
It had been so long, and he had served all the dishes, but the rich businessman's son still had a furious look on his face. His anger had not subsided at all, and it even seemed to be getting stronger.
Hua Yichen was bored and felt that eating like this was missing something. He took out his phone and fiddled with it with his fingers flying.
【Isn’t this the one from your family? 】
A text message was sent to Gu Qi's mobile phone with the help of a virtual IP.
Attached is a photo with a slightly ambiguous atmosphere.
While Hua Yichen savored the delicious food, Gu Qi was still languishing at his workstation, busy cleaning up the mess. Newlyweds were in raptures, and after years of longing for love, Gu Qi had been torn between joy and sorrow these past few days. Although his family lacked support, the destructive power of Bai Yueguang was no small matter. If it weren't for all the hassles, Gu Qi would have wanted to drop everything and go out with Le An for a honeymoon.
My phone, which has been on silent mode all year round, was also turned off from the Do Not Disturb mode because I was afraid of missing any messages from Le'an.
"Ding" the message ringtone rang.
It was not a notification sound specifically for Le An, but when he heard it, Gu Qi couldn't ignore it. He opened the screen and heard a strange sentence that made Gu Qi feel uneasy.
After completely opening the chat box, the clearly visible enlarged detail picture takes up half of the mobile phone interface.
【Where? 】
[A restaurant near the Central Building commercial district.] Hua Yichen directly sent the location of this place.
Ten minutes, just right, not more, not less.
Gu Qi walked in at the door with a breeze, sweat on his forehead, and it can be seen that he was very anxious. From the door, it was easy to see Le An and walked towards him.
"So fast!" Hua Yichen exclaimed and looked at the time. It should have taken at least twenty minutes to get here from Gu Qi's company, but it only took half the time. It turns out that human potential is endless.
"Who is he?" Gu Qi walked to Le An's table without hesitation and asked angrily.
Le An looked up in disbelief, and indeed saw Gu Qi's face. He immediately explained in a panic: "It's...it's just a friend from abroad, his name is Jack, he came here to play, and I treated him to a meal."
Le An's voice gradually weakened, and he looked at the other side with a look of help from time to time, as if he could agree to any request from the other side.
Jack looked at the man in front of him with interest. The man was begging him humbly with his eyes. The anger on his face disappeared, and the corners of his mouth curled up in sarcasm.
How could Gu Qi not see the twists and turns in this? His beloved white moonlight was actually being so humble in front of others. How could he bear to see it? His anger instantly shifted to Jack.
"Why do you look at him like that? Did something happen?" Gu Qi pulled Le An over and put him behind him. Thinking that Le An was threatened, he immediately warned the other party, "What did you do to him? If you look at Le An like that again, I'll make you pay for it."
Jack looked at the arrogant Gu Qi, but he was not annoyed. Instead, he found him interesting. He did not say anything, but listened quietly to Gu Qi's harsh words, his eyes wandering between Le An and Gu Qi.
As if he had discovered something, his face was full of understanding. Gu Qi couldn't stand his scrutiny anymore and continued to speak harshly: "What are you looking at? Be careful that you don't come back when the time comes!"
When Le An heard Gu Qi's words, he frowned and pulled his sleeve in front of him, trying to bring Gu Qi back to his senses.
It was completely useless. Le An also noticed that Jack, who originally didn't intend to speak, seemed to be about to speak, so he quickly stopped him silently.
Jack glanced at Le An and said, "Oh! What are you going to do to me? You don't know anything about me, and you want to do something to me? The young master of the Gu family is really amazing."
Jack's Chinese is very good, and there is no problem with basic pronunciation and intonation, so Gu Qi can understand it completely. However, the content makes his pupils flicker, and he is obviously shocked that the other party knows his identity.
Glancing up and down at Jack, he saw his custom-made clothes and expensive mechanical watch, and thought that he must be from a wealthy family abroad. Gu Qi was shocked for only a moment, but he immediately understood the reason.
At the same time, his rationality returned a lot: "What is the relationship between you and Le An? Why are you looking at him like that?"
"What relationship? We are good..." Jack's tone was slightly raised and lingering, and the word "relationship" sounded with a lingering meaning.
"We were good friends before, and Jack helped me a lot." Le An interrupted Jack quickly, fearing that Jack would say something that would ruin his good deeds.
"That's right." Le An's puppy-like begging expression deeply pleased Jack, and he became interested in acting with him for a while.
"Why that expression just now? How could good friends have such an expression?" Gu Qi didn't think that they were good friends before. After all, Jack's expression before was not good at all.
It's better to be an enemy than a friend.
No one would believe it if I told them.
Seeing that Gu Qi didn't believe him, but his reason was a little interesting, Jack wanted to tease him: "Le An was living abroad before, and he had a hard time. He owed me a lot of money. My family has had some problems recently, so this time I came..."
"I will pay back whatever you owe me." Gu Qi understood halfway through listening.
Jack made a palm gesture.
"5 million? I'll transfer it to you. Don't come and bother Le An again." Gu Qi saw the number five by Jack and naturally thought it was only 5 million.
After all, it's just a few years of studying abroad, so how much can the cost be?
"50 million! Master Gu." Jack corrected immediately.
Gu Qi turned to look at Le An in disbelief. Le An was equally shocked and looked up at Jack with a meaningful and determined look, as if to say, "Be careful not to let Gu Qi know about our relationship." Finally, he compromised and nodded when Gu Qi looked at him.
He turned his head with a heavy expression and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "Okay, give me the account number. Take the money and get out. Remember not to bother me again."
Jack looked at the extra string of zeros in his account and looked at Gu Qi with a smile: "Of course, Master Gu."
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving behind a chic back.
Gloom spread over Gu Qi's whole body, and his dark gaze was cast towards Le An.
Le An's eyes immediately filled with tears. Before Gu Qi could lose his temper, he explained, "You know, my family went bankrupt and I owed a lot of money. I had no choice."
Gu Qi knew about Le An's family, but he was not sure about the details. Bai Yueguang was in tears in front of him.
How could I not be moved? No matter how angry I was, it would turn into dust: "If you have any problems in the future, you must tell me, don't carry it alone."
"Okay." Le An gave Gu Qi a deep hug. "Have you eaten yet? It just so happens that the food here hasn't started yet. Come have a meal with me!"
Gu Qi didn't say anything, but quietly pulled out a chair and sat down.
Hua Yichen had finished his meal and was almost done watching the show.
After seeing the peaceful scene at the end, I deeply felt that they are worthy of being the official couple, as they can handle this problem.
It was as if there had never been a rift between them, and they returned to being as close as before.
In the dead of night, under the dim light, lying in the same bed.
Hua Yichen inadvertently mentioned the scene he saw during the day.
"Young Master, why are you so concerned about them?" Ye Shubai had not forgotten Le An's previous plan against Hua Yichen.
These are not good people, especially to the young master.
"No, I just suddenly wanted to go out for dinner, and then I met him. I just happened to think of what you said." Hua Yichen felt his arm being held tightly, so he let it go and even relaxed his body, allowing Ye Shubai to pose in any way he wanted.
Hua Yichen didn't stop Ye Shubai when he realized that he was getting too aggressive. Instead, he turned sideways and looked at Ye Shubai with his deep peach blossom eyes: "I didn't expect to run into you in the daytime."
Ye Shubai had no time to care about anything else. He was busy admiring the young master's fascinating eyes and eyebrows under the light.
It seems like I'm really stuck in it.
The scorching gaze seemed to become tangible, so eye-catching that Hua Yichen couldn't help but avoid it.
"It's just that Jack's behavior is a bit strange. Logically, he should be very angry and argue with Gu Qi. It shouldn't be like this..."
Ye Shubai took over the conversation: "So calm and composed."
"Right." As Hua Yichen was considering what words to use to describe it, Ye Shubai gave him the answer he had in mind. After agreeing, he looked at her with inquiry, "You did it."
It is a declarative sentence.
"I just helped him analyze the pros and cons." Ye Shubai faced Hua Yichen's inquiring gaze calmly.
"After all, knowing something in advance can give people a lot more time to prepare."
"What's going on? Does he really need me to save him?" Hua Yichen asked the system in his mind.
002 scratched his smooth black head, his eyes dodging before an idea flashed across his face: "This is perfect, it will make things easier for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared quickly.
Of course Jack wouldn't be dismissed so easily.
The last time in the restaurant was just to deal with Gu Qi’s behavior.
As for the culprit Le An, Jack has other ways to find him.
Gu Qi suddenly discovered that there was so much less cash flowing into the company's account, which made the already declining company even worse.
Gu Qi was completely busy and exhausted.
This left Gu Qi busy and Hua Yichen free.
Then Shui Lingling scored twice, and Hua Yichen met the two of them again during lunch.
Familiar people, familiar things.
Different locations.
Several times.
Hua Yichen didn't send any messages to Gu Qi in the following few times.
After all, the show will be more interesting when the truth is revealed.
As expected, as Jack's appetite grew, his demands became more and more. Le An had no ability to satisfy them, so Gu Qi had to take the blame.
It's okay if it happens once or twice, but if it happens again and again, it will be very suspicious.
When he met Le An again, Hua Yichen found that this time he was different from before. His eyes were dark, his face was haggard, and even the corners of his mouth were faintly purple.
Hua Yichen was slightly shocked, but after thinking about it, he felt it made sense: "Is this, being beaten?"
002 appeared at the side and nodded nonchalantly: "That should be it?"
"Could it be that Gu Qi beat him?"
002: "That can't be! Aren't they an official couple? There's no way their relationship would be destroyed like this!"
The person who came hurriedly to the door, with a haggard face and injured hands, interrupted the system's thinking.
That’s right, the person who came this time was Gu Qi.
Hua Yichen was not surprised at all, and even looked at Gu Qi with a hint of disappointment.
Le'an has been acting abnormally for so long, and he only came now.
I think it’s because he doesn’t love Gu Qi enough, and Hua Yichen kindly found an excuse for him.
