◇ Chapter 12
"Guan!"
Chu Jiangyuan chased after him like crazy. Even though he ran as fast as he could, he still watched the man disappear from his sight...
"No! Gu'an!"
Chu Jiangyuan searched the turning corridor nonsensically, opening each door one by one. "Gu'an, please come out and look at me!"
After searching all the houses, he still couldn't find the familiar figure. It seemed as if everything was Chu Jiangyuan's illusion.
Chu Jiangyuan slid down the wall and fell to the ground, feeling lost and dejected. "Even just a glance...Gu'an..."
He covered his face and trembled, mocking himself in his heart. In the past four years, Gu'an had not appeared in his dreams even once. Even if he had a spirit, he would not come out to see him again.
"Sir? Are you okay?" a waiter came forward and asked, "The banquet downstairs has officially begun. If you feel unwell, can we arrange for you to go to the hospital?"
Chu Jiangyuan shook his head and stood up with the help of the wall. "Thank you, but it's okay."
He came to the banquet to discuss a deal with the painter Si Wang. How could he leave without meeting him?
Enduring the stomach cramps, Chu Jiangyuan went downstairs as if nothing had happened.
In the lobby downstairs, the crowd recognized the man in the white suit, and his back was exactly the same as the one Chu Jiangyuan had just seen!
The heart that had just been dead seemed to be ignited in an instant. Chu Jiangyuan no longer cared about anything else and pushed through the crowd to come to the man's side.
"Guan!"
He grabbed the man's hand and said excitedly, "Gu'an! It's really you! You didn't—"
At this time, the man turned around.
This is a completely unfamiliar face.
Different from Si Gu'an and also different from Zhan Mingcheng.
"Sir?" The man smiled, his smile just right.
But his smile and his voice were unfamiliar. The light in Chu Jiangyuan's eyes instantly dimmed, and his whole body exuded a huge loneliness and despair.
Those who were bumped into by him and were still unhappy with him could no longer blame him, and the hall fell silent for a moment.
Only the man in the suit whose arm Chu Jiangyuan was holding reminded him in a calm voice, "Sir, could you please let go?"
Chu Jiangyuan woke up as if from a dream, "Sorry, I recognized the wrong person." Gu An never spoke to him like that.
After realizing he had recognized the wrong person, Chu Jiangyuan quickly returned to his usual indifference. He took out his business card and said, "I'm Chu Jiangyuan. If you need compensation, you can call me."
The man rubbed his wrist and refused distantly: "No need, I won't take such a small matter to heart."
Chu Jiangyuan saw this and did not argue any further. He was about to leave when suddenly a blond and blue-eyed young man rushed into the crowd, put his arm around the man in a suit's shoulders and looked him up and down.
He asked with a worried look on his face: "Wang, are you okay? Let me see your hand!"
As she spoke, she held the man's red left hand and said distressedly: "Wang, do you know how precious your hand is? How could you let it get hurt!"
"Ellis, I'm fine. It's not my right hand that's injured."
"It's not my right hand, that's why..." Ellis swallowed the rest of his words, glared at the man reproachfully, and turned his head to look at Chu Jiangyuan.
"Chu Jiangyuan, even if Wang is ranked second every year, you don't have to be so vicious as to destroy his hand, right?"
Chu Jiangyuan's face was cold and unremarkable. His gaze fell on the man, "Are you Si Wang?"
Si Wang smiled slightly, and said politely but distantly, "Yes, I am. Ellis was just worried about me, he didn't mean to offend me, Mr. Chu, please forgive me."
Chu Jiangyuan glanced at the two people holding hands, suppressing the inexplicable familiarity in his heart.
Darkening his eyes, he said, "I have something I want to talk to Mr. Si alone. Is it convenient?"
