"See? I told you there was definitely a man hiding in her room!"
Once Yi Ningning finished speaking, the director understood everything.
It's likely that someone already knew Mr. Gu was in Mrs. Gu's room, but didn't know who he was. Making such a fuss tonight, ostensibly to catch a criminal, was actually a staged farce to ruin Mrs. Gu's reputation.
After figuring all this out, the director was furious and turned around to slap Yi Ningning.
With a sharp "smack," Yi Ningning was completely stunned.
She looked at the director, somewhat confused, and shouted indignantly, "Director, why did you hit me? It was Lin Chuxia, not me, who was having an affair! If you're going to hit someone, hit her!"
However, the next second, the furious Yi Ningning saw the director, who used to be the one with the final say on set, humbly bowing repeatedly to the wild man she was talking about, while constantly apologizing.
"Mr. Gu, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault for mismanagement, which has caused Mrs. Gu to suffer. I will definitely give you an explanation for this... I'm so sorry to have bothered you and Mrs. Gu..."
Yi Ningning, who was originally full of grievances and anger, froze after hearing the director address Gu Yuheng.
The strange man in Lin Chuxia's room was actually President Gu? How could that be?
"How could you possibly be President Gu? You must be lying!" Yi Ningning stared at Gu Yuheng in disbelief.
This man is handsome, but if he really is President Gu, why is he hiding?
Besides, how could President Gu possibly ride in such a cheap car?!
Actually, Chen Yuling was also wondering about the same thing that Yi Ningning was thinking about.
The answer is actually quite simple.
This is not Jincheng. Gu Yuheng came by plane.
The car that Chen Yuling and Yi Ningning saw that morning was one he had rented. Since it was just for getting around and he didn't intend to show off or anything, he didn't want too many people to know he was there, so he just rented a perfectly functional ordinary car.
Suddenly, Yi Ningning's eyes lit up as if she had just thought of something. She grabbed the director's arm and shouted, "Director, are you lying to me? This isn't President Gu, is it? You're protecting Lin Chuxia and deliberately lying to us, aren't you?!"
There was a hint of anticipation in her voice. It must be true; the director must have received a bribe from Lin Chuxia to speak up for her!
The director couldn't pull his arm away because she was holding on tightly. In desperation, he simply raised his other hand and swung it hard at Yi Ningning's cheek!
This woman is crazy. Since she's not in her right mind, then he'll knock her awake!
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is President Gu!"
With another crisp "smack," Yi Ningning's swollen face was finally symmetrical on both sides.
At that moment, Gu Jiu, who had gone downstairs for a stroll, returned and was puzzled to see everyone crowding in front of Lin Chuxia's door.
"Hey, what are you all doing outside our young mistress's room?"
Then he looked at Lin Chuxia and Gu Yuheng and said with a grin, "Third Master, Young Madam, a circus troupe has come downstairs. They can breathe fire and swallow guns. It's so much fun."
No wonder, he had been wondering why Gu Jiu from the next room hadn't appeared despite the commotion; it turned out she had gone off to play on her own.
Gu Yuheng glared at Gu Jiu with a sharp look and said in a deep voice, "I told you to protect the young mistress, and this is how you protect her?"
