When Yi Yunyi arrives at the Media Building in his car, getting ready to pick up his future wife, Gu Ruoruo rushes as fast as if she is in a one-hundred meters dash and throws herself into his embrace once she sees him.
“Yi, Thank you. I am very happy.”
Gu Ruoruo goes on rubbing herself against him. Yi Yunyi feels confused, “Ruoruo, what happens? Why do you thank me?”
“Because of this!” Gu Ruoruo takes out a delicately packed decorated box and opens it in front of Yi Yunyi, “Thank you for sending me the Flying Wing to Wing! God! Uncle Yi, you didn’t go with me to Qianfu Jewelry. How did you know that I was interested in it?”
Yi Yunyi looks at the shining diamond carved adornment. He thinks for a while. He wants to tell Gu Ruoruo that it is not from him. But when he glimpses the excited face of her, he swallows the words and says instead, “Ha. It is great that you like it.”
Qianfu Jewelry…
He needs to have a careful investigation on the background of the store.
After they get in the car, Gu Ruoruo can’t help calling Xia Ning and tells her about the adornment. But Yi Yunyi sitting beside her looks a little worried.
Some days ago, he received a call from his younger brother Yi Yunrui. Yi Yunrui told him to be careful about people and things around him. Yi Yunrui started to pull out the net on his side.
Yi Yunyi slightly screws his eyes. Does anyone who can’t find any chances on him try to do something to Ruoruo?
Xia Ning hangs up the phone. She feels glad for Gu Ruoruo. But she instinctively feels worried as if there is something wrong.
Yi Yunyi is too efficient. She and Ruoruo have just got back to the company while the gift has arrived. Seemingly, her brother has got some of his people around Ruoruo.
But the problem is … The adornment was not for sale. Why was it suddenly sold?
Xia Ning feels more and more confused. She opens the internet and searches the information about Qianfu Jewelry.
When she reads a piece of information, Xia Ning widens her eyes at once!
Qianfu Jewelry is a property belonging to TC Group. It means that the boss of it is Su Shen.
Su Shen…
When she speaks out the name, Xia Ning always feels uncomfortable. What has happened is strange.
It is time for her to ask her brother to see whether there is anything wrong with it.
At the time, Xia Ning’s phone rings. It is Gu Luan.
“Ning, you have come back to C City?”
“Hum.” It is noisy at the other end. It seems that Gu Luan is in a disco.
“Are you free now? Do you want to come out to have a drink with me?”
Drink?
Xia Ning hesitates, “Are you alone?”
“Hum.” Gu Luan gives a sigh, “My sister and other people are all busy dating. Who will care about me…” Gu Luan burps.
Xia Ning hears Gu Luan burp. She asks, “How much have you drunk? God. You just recovered from the injury. Don’t drink too much!”
“Come to talk with me. We talk only. Will you?”
Xia Ning feels that something is gently touched in her heart. She asks, “Can I bring someone with me?”
“Yes…Ahem!” Gu Luan has not finished his words when he makes a cough.
Xia Ning feels worried about him. She says at once, “Wait for a while. I am coming.”
Xia Ning hangs up. She thinks for a while. She can’t take Ruoruo with her. Ruoruo is staying with her brother.
Baoer? No. Baoer is pregnant. She can’t drink.
Leng Weiwei?
Not knowing why, a name suddenly pops up in Xia Ning’s brain: Su Shen.
Xia Ning twitches her lips. She feels scared by her sudden idea.
She knows that he is dangerous, but she still remembers him!
She may go to check on Gu Luan first. He just recovered from his injury. He drank so much. Seemingly, the man is not careful about his health at all.
When Xia Ning gets to the bar, she sees Gu Luan from far away. Gu Luan is sitting at the counter with a cup of drink called Depth Charge.
Xia Ning feels worried. She walks to him at once and grabs the Depth Charge from him. She says, “Director Gu, don’t you care about your life?”
Gu Luan feels a little surprised to see Xia Ning. He puts on a soft smile on his face which is red because of wine, “You care about me. It is worth spending my life in drinking.”
Xia Ning rolls her eyes at him, “Don’t stay here. Go home.”
Gu Luan draws Xia Ning, “One more moment. Sit with me here for another moment.”
The music is loud. To be honest, Xia Ning doesn’t want to stay here for another while. However, when she sees Gu Luan, she wonders whether he is unhappy.
Xia Ning thinks for a while. She takes out her phone and sends a message to Gu Ruoruo, telling her to pick up Gu Luan from the bar. Then, Xia Ning sits by the counter, “Well. OK. Just for another moment.”
Gu Luan smiles. He turns to the bartender, “A cup of orange juice.”
Xia Ning thought that Gu Luan would ask her to drink wine. When she hears he order orange juice for her, she gives a sigh of relief.
Not knowing why, when she smells the fragrance of wine, she feels so disgusted that she wants to throw up. She feels her heart stuck.
Soon, the orange juice is served. Xia Ning takes it up and takes a mouthful of it. Maybe it is because of the hot weather, she doesn’t have a good appetite recently and often wants to eat something sour.
Orange juice seems to be the right thing.
“Is Zhou Mengyao hard on you?”
Xia Ning blinks her eyes. She feels surprised about Gu Luan’s question, “No. Aunt Zhou is kind to me.”
Gu Luan nods, “That is good.” Then, he lifts his head to take a mouthful of the Depth Charge.
“Hey!” Xia Ning feels a little angry. It is just a little while and the man starts drinking again. She says, “If you keep drinking, you will need to go to the hospital again!”
Gu Luan smiles, “Don’t worry. I am fine. I know my health condition…”
Gu Luan has not finished his words when he suddenly freezes his eyes and stares at somewhere.
Xia Ning frowns, wondering why Gu Luan puts on such a strange expression. She follows the direction of his eyes and sees in a corner there is a man and a woman, the body shapes of whom seem very familiar to her.
They are hugging and toasting. They even kiss and do the things expected to follow.
After quite a while, Xia Ning recognizes that they are Wan Liqing and Jiang Yongran!
God. How can they get together?
Xia Ning glances stealthily at Gu Luan, who looks calm with no waves at all. He stares directly at the direction.
Xia Ning doesn’t know whether he is looking at Jiang Yongran or Wan Liqing.
“Ahem.” Xia Ning asks in a low voice, “How long have they been here?”
Gu Luan slightly screws his eyes and turns his face away, “I don’t know.”
Is Gu Luan angry? With Wan Liqing?
If Gu Luan is still concerned about Wan Liqing, why does he cut all the connection with Wan Liqing? He even deliberately avoids her.
Xia Ning looks at the two who are having fun not far away. She puts down the orange juice and says, “Director Gu, shall we leave…”
“Call me Luan.”
Xia Ning slightly hesitates, “Don’t be childish. Let’s go home.”
Gu Luan closes his eyes. He holds the glass tightly as if he is trying hard to restrain himself from something.
At the moment, Xia Ning doesn’t know how she can comfort him. She is not clear about what is happening between Wan Liqing and Gu Luan.
“Director Gu, we meet again!”
Suddenly, Jiang Yongran’s voice is heard. Xia Ning feels shocked. She turns around and sees Wang Liqing looking at her in surprise.
“Oh. Assistant Xia. What a coincidence! You two come to the bar together?” Jiang Yongran puts on a meaningful smile, “Do you two…”
“General Manager Jiang. It is not like what you are thinking about.” Xia Ning interrupts, “Director Gu just recovered from his injury. He drank some wine. I come to send him home.”
“Do you?” Jiang Yong still wears a suspicious smile on his face. The smile doesn’t disappear after Xia Ning’s explanation. Instead, it grows bigger. He says, “Yes. It must be so. Director Gu is drunk. Tonight, Assistant Xia may need to take good care of him.”
Xia Ning darkens her face. She says in displeasure, “General Manager Jiang, please watch your words!”
“Am I wrong?” Jiang Yongran looks confusedly at Xia Ning, “If so, why do you come here with him?”
Xia Ning grits her teeth. She knows that it is no use explaining further. She can’t but ignore what Jiang Yongran may think about.
“Yongran, it is not right for you to say so. Xia Ning is married, though her husband is not here. Yongran, we should forget what you have said here. Or, if anything is spread to her husband, it may be improper.”
Wan Liqing speaks indifferently with disdain.
“Oh. Your husband is not here. No wonder…” This time, Jiang Yongran openly laughs. He holds out his hands to forcefully hug Wan Liqing, “Liqing, is your husband here? If he sees you staying with me, that will cause very bad influence!”
“My husband?” Wan Liqing responds coldly, “I wonder where he can be in this world.”
Bang!
Gu Luan puts down the glass in his hand. He stands up, “Ning, let’s go.”
“Wait!” Wan Liqing holds out her hand to stop Gu Luan. She looks at Xia Ning. Her eyes look as sharp as knives. She says, “Gu Luan, listen to me. Xia Ning has a husband. It is unworkable for you two! Wake up!”
Apparently, Wan Liqing is trying to wake Gu Luan up. But actually, she is driving it worse. Xia Ning feels very angry. She fails to restrain herself and bursts into a rage.
She holds out her hand to forcefully pushes Wan Liqing away. She points at Wan Liqing, “You keep saying that I am humiliating my husband. Next time, before you say anything like that, please check on yourself first! Wan Liqing, you are loyal? Are you? What’s the relation between you and Jiang Yongran? Where is the manager you were dating some months ago? Where is he?”
Not expecting that Xia Ning will react so angrily, Wan Liqing feels shocked and can’t collect herself for some seconds. Whey she sees Gu Luan’s disgusted eyes, she feels sad. She forcefully drops the beer in her hand to the floor.
It bangs and the bottle of the beer is broken into pieces on the floor.
“Xia Ning, how dare you question me? What’s wrong for my staying with other men? I am single now! You are not! I know. You bring Gu Luan here to show off in front of me! Xia Ning, you are really good at being a bitch! I really don’t understand how Yi Yunrui can tolerate you! He is openly cheated. He is a cuckold!”
It cracks!
Wan Liqing has not finished her words when she finds something flash in front of her and a slap is heard. Her face is hot and painful!
Wan Liqing strokes her swollen face in disbelief. At the moment, being a little drunk, Wan Liqing totally loses control of her temper. She shouts in a loud voice, “Xia Ning, how dare you slap me?”
When she says, she grabs the beer bottle from Jiang Yongran’s hand and throws it towards Xia Ning’s head!
