Chapter 20 Chapter 20 (2/2)



"What are you thinking about?"

When she was distracted, she acted as if no one was around, with unspeakable emotions in her eyes. Gu Wei could no longer completely ignore her, so he stretched out his hand to block her sight.

But Ye Rong had not yet completely recovered from her shock. She grabbed the hand that was blocking her and gently called his name: "Gu Weibei..."

Gu Weiwei, who was about to pull his hand back subconsciously, paused and said calmly, "What's the matter?"

"..." Bumping into those bottomless light brown eyes, Ye Rong wanted to say something but suddenly came to her senses again. She realized that she was still holding someone else's hand and immediately said, "Your hands are really nice."

"..." Gu Wei pulled his hand back: "We're here."

Ah? Oh, Ye Rong just realized that the car had stopped.

Seeing Gu Weibei getting out of the car, Ye Rong recalled the scene of grabbing Gu Weibei's hand just now. She sat in the seat and blinked. She was so brave!

"You don't really like him, do you?" Gu Zhi, who had been silent in the car, suddenly spoke.

At this moment, Ye Rong seemed to realize that there was another person in the car. It seemed that he had seen everything just now, but there was nothing unsightly.

Ye Rong opened the car door and said lightly, "Don't mind your own business."

Gu Zhi: “…”

The Gu family's main garden is a very traditional Chinese garden.

As you walk in, you will see pavilions and waterside terraces. The paths are quiet and peaceful, and there is a sense of simplicity and elegance everywhere.

After Gu Zhi arrived, he was called away by his acquaintances. When those people saw Gu Weibei, they were obviously stunned for a moment, but Gu Weibei ignored anyone and walked past them and left.

Ye Rong hurriedly followed, trying to find a topic: "Those people just now seemed to know you."

"Yeah." Gu Weibei responded.

Ye Rong asked again: "Is he your cousin?"

Gu Weibei said calmly: "I don't know him."

“……” Well, I don’t recognize any of my relatives.

Walking through the corridor, a man in his forties came towards me and said respectfully, "Young Master Wei, long time no see. My surname is Sun, and I am the chairman's assistant. The chairman is waiting for you in the study."

Chairman, that should be Gu Weibei’s grandfather.

Ye Rong glanced at Gu Weibei and found that he didn't look surprised at all. It could be said that this was the purpose of his coming here.

"Yeah." Gu Wei responded, then seemed to remember that there was Ye Rong next to her, and said to her: "Why don't you go somewhere else to rest first?"

"I'll go with you. I'll wait for you outside." Ye Rong was a little worried. He looked fine, but he was really patient. No one would notice anything unless he became unconscious.

Gu Weibei glanced at her and said nothing.

Soon, the two followed Assistant Sun to a secluded courtyard.

Assistant Sun said, "Miss Ye, please wait in the hall. I will take Master Weibei to the study first."

"Yes." Ye Rong was sitting in the hall outside the study. The antique furniture in the hall was all valuable red sandalwood, and the walls were hung with historical calligraphy and paintings. It was worthy of the Gu family with hundreds of years of heritage.

It's just so cold to be alone, really cold. Ye Rong rubbed his arms, got up and went outside to the courtyard to bask in the sun.

There is a pond in the courtyard, and next to it stands a big willow tree. When the wind blows, the yellow leaves fall down and land on the water.

Ye Rong walked to the edge of the pond, which had rockery and running water. The sound of the water was clear and pleasant. She was distracted by the fat koi in the water.

Until a voice was heard behind me.

"Why are you hiding here alone? Aren't you with Gu Weibi?"

Ye Rong raised her head and looked at Gu Zhi who was approaching, wondering why this man had followed her.

Gu Zhi actually didn't want to know how she and Gu Weibi separated. He looked around and confirmed that there was no one around before looking at Ye Rong. Then he said to her in a completely unrelated way, "I know everything."

Ye Rong:?

Brother, you know everything.

"The agreement between you and my mother is only 10 million. Aren't you too 'professional'?" Gu Zhi took a moment to learn the origin of this matter from his mother, and walked to her side: "You are not planning to make it real, are you?"

"Of course not." Ye Rong never considered herself as Gu Weibei's fiancée, but she and Gu Weibei were teammates on the same front!

Her denial gave Gu Zhi a boost of confidence, and he raised his voice slightly: "I can give you what you want, as long as you follow me."

Looking at Gu Zhi, who had an evil and crazy expression in front of him, he asked, "Did you just come out of the domineering CEO training class?" Ye Rong looked at him and said directly, "You can't."

After finishing the conversation with Mr. Gu, Gu Weibei turned around with a gentle smile on his face, but there was an unremovable hostility in his eyes.

But soon, thinking of the girl at the door, his expression quickly returned to normal.

He walked out and didn't see Ye Rong. He paused and didn't care. Assistant Sun noticed something and said, "Miss Ye shouldn't have gone far. She said she would wait for you."

Gu Weibei's expression was calm and no emotion could be seen.

Assistant Sun discovered that among all of Mr. Gu’s grandchildren, the one in front of him was the most gentle and without any edges, but also the most unfathomable.

Gu Wei was about to leave when she suddenly thought of something and looked at the man behind her: "Assistant Sun, go to the study to see Grandpa. Grandpa is getting older, and I'm a little worried about his health."

"..." Assistant Sun was stunned for a moment, "Damn, Master Wei."

Gu Wei walked out of the hall and saw two people standing by the pool not far away. Even though his sight was blocked by the locust tree beside the pool, he could still see that the two people seemed to be talking about something.

Gu Weiwei had no intention of interrupting their conversation and was ready to leave, but as she took a step forward, she suddenly remembered Ye Rong's indignant words -

"He wants to cheat on you!"

"..."Gu Weibei's steps paused subtly for a second.

By the pool, Gu Zhi almost suspected that he had heard it wrongly: "What?"

"I said, you can't." Ye Rong felt that she had to make it clear. Perhaps because of Gu Wei's mature sensitivity, Ye Rong felt confident and was not afraid of being discovered by Wang Qiuman. Instead, she was looking forward to seeing Wang Qiuman's regretful look.

"I originally came to the Gu family just for your brother. When I knew Wang Qiuman was looking for a fiancée for your brother, I immediately used my connections to apply for the job. Guess what, I got the interview." She was very bright and even more so when she smiled. Even the midday sun was not as dazzling as her. She said, "I put so much thought into it, how could I give up on you?"

“………”Gu Zhi looked stunned.

Ye Rong said simply and directly: "So don't waste your energy."

Gu Zhi was shocked and felt it was absurd. He laughed: "He won't like you."

Like? Gu Wei likes her? Ye Rong looked at Gu Zhi as if he was a fool. This guy must have a brain that is as deep as the sea and full of water. Ye Rong's face was dark: "Of course I know he won't like me."

Gu Zhi looked at her, feeling puzzled. If it was in the past, Gu Zhi would not doubt that there would be a woman who would do this for Gu Weibei, but now Gu Weibei is just a useless person with nothing. Gu Zhi suddenly had an idea, and his playful mentality disappeared, replaced by a serious attitude: "What if I say I am willing to marry you?"

“………”I don’t think I can do that.

The ugly rejection on Ye Rong's face was too obvious, which made Gu Zhi more and more courageous. He slowly approached her and chuckled: "How do you know you won't fall in love with me if you don't try?"

Ye Rong stepped back subconsciously, her mind confused by his sudden confidence. She leaned her back against the tree trunk, unable to retreat. Try? I'll try you! When Ye Rong came to her senses, she only saw his claws reaching towards her chin——

The jeweled cufflinks shone in the sunlight, and a slender hand firmly grasped Gu Zhi's wrist.

The author has something to say: I think it is more appropriate to end here = =
