Chapter 133 Tolerance
The two looked at each other, Gu Huaichen nodded slightly, and said in a low voice, "I'm behind you."
Lin Youning hummed softly and tried hard to put on a smile, "I know, I'm not afraid, and you don't have to worry either."
It is impossible for Gu Huaichen not to worry.
However, he was sure that he would not let Lin Youning get hurt, and it was this certainty that made him agree to let Lin Youning go and talk to Jian Cheng.
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Youning took a few steps forward.
When she approached, Jian Cheng suddenly chuckled, "Lin Youning, are you stupid?"
Lin Youning was startled and looked up at him.
Jian Cheng paused slightly, but surprisingly, he did not keep anyone in suspense or play any pranks.
When no one else could react, he mumbled a name.
Lin Youning was stunned. Before she could ask in detail, Jian Cheng looked at Gu Huaichen and said, "Boss Gu, please ask your bodyguard to take me back to Jian's house."
Gu Huaichen went to see Lin Youning.
Lin Youning had already reacted at this moment. She wanted to ask Jian Cheng a few more questions, but she also knew very clearly that Jian Cheng would not say anything more. He gave her that name because of their past friendship.
She nodded hesitantly.
After Jian Cheng left, the place suddenly became quiet.
Gu Huaichen took Lin Youning to the upstairs private room and checked her first. After confirming that she was not injured, he heaved a sigh of relief and hugged her in his arms. He then asked in a low voice, "Are you scared?"
Lin Youning felt his warm embrace and shook her head slowly, "No, you are here, aren't you?"
At this point, Gu Huaichen raised his hand and patted the back of her head, "What if I don't get there in time?"
"..." Lin Youning felt pain and raised her head and said, "No."
Gu Huaichen looked at her with a slightly serious expression.
Lin Youning: “…”
After a few seconds of stalemate, she touched her nose awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry."
In fact, she has been careful enough and has been very cautious during this period, but with her in the open and Jian Cheng in the dark, he will always have a chance to take advantage of her.
Gu Huaichen was also very clear about this.
Therefore, he was not angry with Lin Youning, he was just worried.
"No need to apologize." Gu Huaichen looked at her like this and touched her head. "It's my problem."
Lin Youning laughed, "What's your problem? You've already arranged a bodyguard for me."
She paused, wanting to lighten the mood between them, and deliberately said, "And I'm not injured either, so Mr. Gu, please stop worrying about it, okay? I'll be nervous."
Gu Huaichen glanced at her.
"Really." Lin Youning raised her head and took the initiative to kiss his chin, and said with a smile, "You came just in time."
His chin felt hot, and Gu Huaichen looked down at the person in front of him, somewhat helpless, and said tolerantly, "You."
After a few seconds of silence, Gu Huaichen asked, "Are you really not scared?"
Lin Youning shook her head. “At first, I was a little scared, but after you showed up, the fear in my heart completely disappeared.”
This is her truth.
Hearing this, Gu Huaichen hummed and held her in his arms again, "As for Jian Cheng, the Jian family will handle it. He probably won't have a chance to return to China in the future."
Lin Youning remained silent.
After a moment, she raised her hand and poked Gu Huaichen's chest, "Why don't you ask me what he said to me in the end?"
Gu Huaichen: "You want to tell me?"
"..." Hearing this, Lin Youning found it very funny, "What he said to me is not something you can't listen to."
At this point, she glanced at Gu Huaichen and said, "Boss Gu, you don't think he said something sour to me, do you? Our relationship has not reached that level."
She could sense that Jian Cheng might have a little affection for her, but his affection for her was not enough to make him give up his playboy heart.
Of course, there is still a bond between the two of them that comes from knowing each other for more than ten years.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this little bit of subtle emotion that allowed Jian Cheng to retain a certain degree of rationality and not do anything that would make him regret for the rest of his life.
Gu Huaichen raised his eyebrows.
Lin Youning looked at him, "Do you know where he has been hiding during this time?"
Gu Huaichen: "Where?"
Lin Youning was about to tell him, but she felt that Gu Huaichen was not in a good mood at the moment. She frowned and said, "You don't seem very curious."
Gu Huaichen smiled, "Curious."
"I can't tell at all." Lin Youning bluntly exposed him, "Do you know who covered up for him when you couldn't find his whereabouts during this period?"
Gu Huaichen was silent for a moment and nodded: "I found out on the way here."
He had never thought about it in that direction before, but when he came to the bar tonight, the investigator told him where Jian Cheng had been living during this period.
Lin Youning said "oh" and was a little confused. "What exactly is the feud between you and Mr. Zhao?"
Jian Cheng told Lin Youning that his name was Zhao Kaiji, the one who deliberately competed with them for auction items at the auction and was also weird to them.
Lin Youning had always thought this man was strange. The way he looked at her and Gu Huaichen made her feel uncomfortable. Lin Youning had asked Gu Huaichen about this before, and his answer was that there were some grievances, but he didn't elaborate on what it was.
To be honest, if she hadn't known that Gu Huaichen had never been in a relationship before, given Zhao Kaiji's attitude towards Gu Huaichen, Lin Youning would have reason to suspect that Gu Huaichen had snatched Zhao Kaiji's girlfriend.
Gu Huaichen paused, looked at her and asked, "Want to know?"
Lin Youning rolled her eyes at him and said, "If I didn't want to know, I wouldn't have asked."
“…”
Gu Huaichen was helpless. He raised his hand and pinched his brow and said, "It's actually very simple."
Lin Youning blinked, "Can you tell me?"
After asking, she remembered something and asked, "Can I tell you?"
Gu Huaichen responded and was about to speak when there was a knock on the door.
It was Yin Jin. "Boss Gu, everyone is waiting for you outside. Have you finished your conversation yet?"
“…”
The two looked at each other and then remembered that their friends were still outside.
"Let's talk about it when we get home tonight." Lin Youning whispered, "Wen Ci and the others are still outside. I'll introduce you to another friend of mine."
She was talking about Ying Zhuxing.
Gu Huaichen nodded, held her hand and said, "Okay."
The two walked out of the box and outside the corridor stood Wen Ci Liang Jingyan, as well as Ying Zhuxing and Duan Yingzhen who had heard the gossip and ran over.
"Ningning, are you okay?" Duan Yingzhen saw her and asked anxiously.
Lin Youning gave them a reassuring smile and said, "I'm fine. Sorry for making you worry."
Ying Zhuxing glanced at her and said, "What are you talking about? It's okay as long as nothing happens. If we had known that Jian Cheng would do such a thing, we would have gone together."
Lin Youning laughed, "Four people going to the bathroom together?"
Duan Yingzhen raised his eyebrows and said confidently, "What's the problem?"
There doesn't seem to be any problem, it's just a bit too loud.
After confirming that Lin Youning was fine, the few of them did not go to the booth downstairs.
Back in the box, Yin Jin arranged for the bartender to bring over the wine, and Lin Youning took the opportunity to introduce Ying Zhuxing, who was attending their party for the first time, to everyone.
