"Xia Qingqing overheard my conversation with the wolfhound."
Xia Zhining's eyes turned cold: "It was my idea to ask the musicians to change the song."
"Damn it, that green tea!" Shen Jiaer cursed. "I'm going to tear her apart right now!"
Xia Zhining held him back: "These people are prejudiced against me. They only believe what they see."
"If you go now, they'll think there's something going on between us, and that's why you're so protective of me."
"The most important thing now is to give the wolfhound a formal diagnosis."
Xia Zhining stroked the wolfhound's tail and said, "By examining the patient, you can tell who is a fake thief."
[Man, I am waiting for my master to come.]
The wolfhound wrapped its fluffy tail around Xia Zhining's wrist, as if to comfort her.
[My master is a very good doctor. He will check if you are injured!]
[Before that, I will protect you. Don't move. Wait for the master's instructions.]
Xia Zhining was surprised that the wolfhound's owner was actually a doctor.
Could it be a battlefield doctor?
Just when she was curious.
A deep voice cut through the clamor of the banquet, carrying an irresistible sense of oppression: "Dark Star, come here."
Everyone's gaze was drawn to the door as if by a magnet.
The man stood against the light, his tall figure like a wolf king ready to pounce, and even his suit and tie could not hide the wildness in his bones.
His facial features were sharp, with high brow bones and deep eye sockets.
A pair of eyes that should be affectionate, but with the coldness in their eyes, they appear extremely cold and indifferent.
He walked slowly, his broad shoulders giving his suit a sharp look.
The tight waist is narrow and powerful, and the knotted blue veins are faintly visible under the shirt cuffs.
As soon as the man appeared, the guests gathered around him, hoping to establish some relationship with him.
When Xia Zhining saw the man's face, she felt familiar.
Is this the person who took me to the hospital that day?
She asked Shen Jiaer in surprise: "He is the owner of the wolfhound?"
"Yes." Shen Jiaer nodded: "This wolfhound's name is Dark Star."
"Brother Gu was once sent abroad by his stepmother to serve as a battlefield doctor."
"Dark Star is Brother Gu's companion on the battlefield."
"Brother Gu?" Xia Zhining was rarely taken out for social activities by Xia's parents, so he didn't know much about the internal affairs of these wealthy families.
But even so, the existence of the Gu Group is still as pervasive as the air—
The Gu Group started out as a pharmaceutical company. Within just five years, the surname, which symbolizes power and wealth, has become a fixture in financial news headlines, a landmark in top business districts, and even the gossip of ordinary people after dinner.
Xia Zhining probably guessed the identity of the wolfhound's owner: "His last name is Gu, is he from the Gu Group?"
——"No. Gu Group belongs to him."
Shen Jiaer looked at Xia Zhining in shock: "He is Gu Huaiye, the president of Gu Group."
"Don't you know him?"
"A new business tycoon who swept through the wealthy families, whose wealth growth rate ranked among the fastest in the world, single-handedly brought the declining Gu family back to life."
Shen Jiaer added narcissistically, "Of course, I'm not much worse than him!"
Xia Zhining shook her head. She didn't expect that the man who saved her that day was so powerful.
"I spend all day in the lab, either researching cases or taking care of animals. How can I have time to pay attention to these things..."
Such a busy boss pushed a 300 million yuan deal to save himself, but only to find out that he just fainted due to malnutrition. He must have been furious.
I hope he doesn't blame himself for the three hundred million yuan.
Xia Zhining looked at Gu Huaiye, feeling uneasy.
At this time, the wolfhound Anxing ran towards Gu Huaiye with his tail wagging.
Then, it bit the fabric of Gu Huaiye's suit and kept dragging Gu Huaiye towards Xia Zhining.
[Master, Master, there are injured people over there who need to be checked!]
As soon as the wolfhound came over, the guests surrounding Gu Huaiye scattered in an instant, making way for it.
They knew very well that in front of Mr. Gu's life-saving wolfhound, they were not even worth a hair.
Gu Huaiye rubbed Anxing's head with his big hand: "Take me to see it."
Anxing wagged his tail and immediately brought Gu Huaiye to Xia Zhining.
Seeing this, Xia Qingqing quietly clutched her skirt.
Gu Huai was estimated to be about 1.9 meters tall in the wild, and this wolfhound was also very big like him.
A man and a dog stood in front of Xia Zhining, feeling very oppressive.
"Is it you?"
Gu Huaiye narrowed his eyes and glanced at Xia Zhining.
The girl in front of me looked like a delicate little mint, with slender arms that looked like they could be pinched to death.
Gu Huaiye doesn't like the weak.
He asked in a cold voice: "Where do you feel uncomfortable this time?"
Xia Zhining felt that the aura of the man in front of him was terrifying, with a ruthlessness and savagery that had been honed through the hail of bullets.
She shuddered.
"I'm not feeling unwell, it was just now..."
——"Mr. Gu, she was just thrown to the ground by an out-of-control wolfhound."
"It was my daughter Xia Qingqing who calmed the wolfhound down and saved her."
Xia Qingqing's father, Xia Cheng's flattering voice sounded.
Xia Cheng pushed Xia Qingqing's wheelchair to Gu Huaiye.
"Mr. Gu, I'm Xia Cheng, chairman of Xia's Pet Hospital, and this is my daughter, Xia Qingqing."
"Qingqing is a senior veterinarian. Today, she is here to treat your wolfdog."
Xia, who was sitting in the wheelchair, nodded gently towards Gu Huaiye, with a gentle and generous smile on her face.
"Qingqing is only 22 years old, but she's already the director of the headquarters of our chain of pet hospitals."
After Xia Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and glared at Xia Zhining: "Xia Zhining, what are you still doing here?"
"Isn't that embarrassing enough?"
