Ye Ruan originally thought that Gu Chen would come on the first day of the milk tea shop's opening, but she did not see Gu Chen until she and Xi Cheng finished their milk tea and left.
Come to think of it, Gu Chen manages such a large Gu Group and is extremely busy. Moving this milk tea shop to the gate of their school and giving her a lifetime free card is already doing her a favor as his stand-in. How could he possibly come in person?
When Ye Ruan returned to the classroom, her phone suddenly rang. She pressed the vibrating phone, her heart inexplicably pounding in her throat.
Because this phone wasn't one she used regularly; it was specifically for contacting her organization or her brother.
She suppressed her inexplicable nervousness, quickly walked out of the classroom, and found a quiet corner before taking out her phone.
It was indeed a call from my brother, Ye Heng.
Ye Ruan answered the phone, "Brother, is there something you need at this time?"
Ye Ruan's heart was beating a little fast. For some reason, she was worried that if her brother had already completed his mission and was going to come and help her...
"It's nothing, I've finished my task here."
When Ye Heng's voice came through the receiver, Ye Ruan's heart jumped into her throat. She was about to ask Ye Heng if he was coming back.
Then Ye Heng said, "Little sister, I originally agreed to come back and help you after I finished this task, but the organization gave me a new mission, so I can't come back to help you for the time being. Are you able to manage on your own?"
Ye Ruan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled down. Her tone remained calm and composed as she said, "Brother, I'm fine."
"Go do your task without worrying about me. Just be careful."
"Okay." Ye Heng responded and said, "Ruan Ruan, Gu Chen has a project to discuss in Chongqing recently. Try to go with him, and it would be best if he could take you to the Gu family's old house to stay."
Ye Ruan frowned slightly; the Gu family's old residence was a mysterious place.
According to the information she obtained, since Gu Chen was eight years old, when the Gu family experienced a change in fortune, Gu Chen has never returned to the old house, nor has he ever brought anyone else back to the old house.
Even Su Ruanruan had never been there.
Would Gu Chen take her along, since she's just a stand-in?
She was somewhat uncertain, but her voice remained flat as she asked, "Brother, is this a mission?"
"Yes." Ye Heng asked on the other end of the phone, "I'll tell you what to do next after you get back to the Gu family's old house."
"good."
After Ye Ruan agreed, she hung up the phone.
For the rest of the afternoon, she was distracted during class.
However, she had no information about the Gu family's old house, so she couldn't even guess what her specific task would be after she went there.
After school, Ye Ruan rode her bicycle out of the school gate and saw Chen Jie's tall figure leaning against the side of the bicycle in the distance, which attracted many girls to stop and watch, and some girls even screamed softly.
Some bolder individuals even attempted to approach them, trying to get close and ask for their contact information.
Although Chen Jie didn't exude the same aloof and unapproachable aura as Gu Chen, his gentleness carried a strong sense of distance, making him difficult to get close to.
Every girl he tried to get close to ended up empty-handed.
Ye Ruan didn't really want to interact with him and was about to ride her bicycle straight home when Chen Jie strode up to her with his long legs, "Ruan Ruan."
Although Chen Jie's voice was slightly hoarse, it was also gentle and warm. The two words that came out of his mouth had a tender quality to them.
The girls nearby felt that if that voice were calling their names, they would all melt into Chen Jie's arms.
Ye Ruan had something on her mind today and didn't really want to socialize. She looked at Chen Jie with a blank expression on her delicate face and asked, "Mr. Chen, is there something you need from me?"
Chen Jie smiled gently, his eyes looking at Ye Ruan like a spring breeze. "Ruan Ruan, I'm here today because of Wang Ya. Wang Ya is my cousin, and I just found out that she bullied you at school."
I'm here today to apologize to you on her behalf.
Please rest assured, she will never appear in front of you again.
Upon hearing Chen Jie's words, someone nearby who was well-informed gasped, "I only heard this afternoon that Wang Ya's family is selling off their domestic assets and preparing to go abroad, and they won't be coming back."
I thought it was because of business problems at Pengju Industrial, but it turns out it's because Wang Ya offended Ye Ruan, and President Chen won't let their family stay in the country anymore.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Ye Ruan with different expressions. Everyone knew that Ye Ruan had no background, but she had only been in the capital for a little over a month, yet she had managed to have two bigwigs, Gu Chen and Chen Jie, protecting her at the same time, and even fighting over her.
Even those watching the spectacle, though secretly seething with jealousy, dared not utter a word.
Chen Jie, for Ye Ruan's sake, even though the Wang family are related by marriage, managed to drive them abroad. If those of them who have no power or influence offend Ye Ruan, the consequences are unimaginable.
Ye Ruan looked at Chen Jie with her bright, dark eyes, like chilled grapes, and said, "Mr. Chen, I appreciate your apology. But this matter has nothing to do with you. Besides, Wang Ya tried to bully me but failed; in the end, she was the one who suffered."
Therefore, regardless of your relationship with her, Mr. Chen, you don't need to feel apologetic towards me because of her.
Chen Jie's gentle smile remained unchanged, but his eyes held a hint of helplessness and pity as he looked at Ye Ruan. "Ruan Ruan, didn't we agree before that we'd be friends? Why..."
Ye Ruan realized that she was being a bit too emotional today. The reason she felt particularly disgusted with Chen Jie had nothing to do with Chen Jie himself. It was just because Chen Jie called her Ruan Ruan. For some reason, hearing those two words made her feel inexplicably irritated.
She composed herself and was about to explain to Chen Jie when she heard a cold, mocking voice behind her, "Mr. Chen, are you trying to force my girlfriend to be your friend?"
As the sound rang out, the surrounding whispers abruptly ceased, replaced by gasps of shock.
Ye Ruan turned around and saw Gu Chen walking towards her against the light. The light and shadow made his already exquisite and perfect features, which were like a sculpture, even more three-dimensional. He was wearing an exquisite custom-made suit, and the sapphires on the cuffs shone brightly in the sunset, making him look like a cold and noble immortal.
However, the supermarket shopping bag he was carrying in one hand contained fresh vegetables, instantly giving his aloof and refined demeanor a touch of everyday life.
The two auras combine perfectly on him, making him even more captivating.
