“Hello, Miss Xi!”
It was a man’s voice!
A slightly familiar voice!
Xi Xiaye immediately frowned. She quickly tried to remember whose voice this was. Moments after that, she recalled!
Gu Qiwu!
How could it be him?
Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment. She did not reply immediately and just squinted with vigilance.
When he did not hear Xi Xiaye’s voice, Gu Qiwu’s low voice was heard. “Miss Xi, you’re quiet. I’m sure you know who I am.” His voice was filled with certainty.
Xi Xiaye did not hide it either as she calmly responded, “Mr. Gu, I wonder what you’re calling me for.”
Actually, she could already guess that it was probably about Mu Yuchen and Mu Lingshi. At this moment, she suddenly recalled that it was this man who had blocked her in the tunnel before this. Back then, had he wanted to warn Mu Yuchen too?
“I’m honored that you can still remember my voice.” Gu Qiwu’s soft chuckle was heard. His chuckle made Xi Xiaye frown even more.
“Not much. I just wanted to ask you out for a chat about Lingshi. I wonder if you’d be willing to give me the honor, Miss Xi.” Gu Qiwu did not beat around the bush either as he made his intentions known.
The honor to meet?
As Xi Xiaye pondered, a mocking sneer flashed across her lips. “What if I’m not willing?”
“Of course, I’m hoping you’d say yes. You’ve always paid attention to Lingshi’s matter, haven’t you?” Gu Qiwu’s voice remained low and still sounded calm as if he was certain that she would agree to his request.
“Mr. Gu, I’m afraid I’ve got nothing to say to you. If it’s about Lingshi’s matter, then it’s best that you look for Mr. Mu. I don’t know about these things too well, so I’m afraid there’s not much I can say.”
Xi Xiaye recalled Mu Yuchen’s urges, so she did not make her own decisions. She thought that it was best if she discussed this with Mu Yuchen. If Gu Qiwu really wanted to talk to her, he would not just make this call.
Then, before Gu Qiwu could respond, she hung up.
Du-du-du…
When the sound of the engaged signal was heard, Gu Qiwu immediately frowned and slowly pulled his hand back to look at his phone screen that dimmed. After a while, he casually tossed his phone onto the table and leaned back against his chair. He could not help but lift a hand to massage the fatigue between his brows.
When he saw that Gu Qiwu did not look too good, Ah Yong quickly asked in concern, “Boss…”
Gu Qiwu sighed while his other hand held a pen. He blinked heavily and responded after a while, “It’s fine.”
“Did Xi Xiaye not agree to meet?” Ah Yong said carefully.
Gu Qiwu did not seem too bothered by this. He calmly responded and quickly relaxed, “Xi Xiaye’s not the kind of woman without her own opinions. I’m sure she’s vigilant about the way things have turned out. She’s probably going to tell this to Mu Yuchen. When that happens, try to ask her out again. It shouldn’t be too hard to meet someone.”
“What about the thing I told you to investigate?” He suddenly looked up at Ah Yong. His gaze was dark and cool as a deep lake as it met Ah Yong’s eyes. In that instant, Ah Yong felt worried and uneasy by his expression.
“Boss, no news for now. But Qi Qiming did make Qi Feng a mere director. I think he will be thinking of other ways. In fact, according to Qi Lei’s current situation, it’s enough to prove that Qi Qiming sees Qi Lei differently now. Right, I also recently heard that Qi Feng’s been meeting Missus quite often, probably because of Miss Lingsha’s problem,” Ah Yong responded.
When Gu Qiwu heard that, he did not immediately respond. He just set the pen aside and picked up the tea to take a sip, and then fell silent.
“Boss, the people over there have said that they will do their best to settle this. Miss Lingsha will be released soon. Do we want to tell Miss…Doris?” Ah Yong clearly detected that Gu Qiwu was not too happy, so in the end, he quickly changed the way he addressed Doris.
“Whatever she wants to do has got nothing to do with us. Just keep your eye on her. She won’t just let this go so easily. Open your eyes and pay attention,” Gu Qiwu said with some thought.
He knew Doris well. If she let him off so easily after suffering such a loss, she would not be Doris!
How else could this woman have continued to stay by his side?
However, did she think that Gu Qiwu was a pushover too? If she were to behave, it might not have angered him. Perhaps he could have treated her better, but now, he did not feel any longing for this woman at all!
The more he thought about it, the more he realized that this woman made him feel down.
Even if Gu Qiwu and Mu Zixi had a past. Ever since Mu Zixi left, Gu Qiwu had only doted on Doris alone. He never had anything with any other women and had been loyal to her. Was that not enough?
What had this woman done to him instead?
When he thought about this, Gu Qiwu’s lips could not help but flash with a self-mocking smile.
Upon seeing Gu Qiwu’s shifting expression, Ah Yong quickly responded, “Yes! I got it! Right, Boss, Miss Weiwei is sick and hospitalized…”
“Make the arrangements. I’ll go visit her tonight,” Gu Qiwu answered frankly.
Gu Qiwu did love Weiwei. He continued to play his role as a loving grandfather which was different from the cold Doris.
“Yes, Boss! Do we want to call Qi Feng first? Miss Weiwei hasn’t been too well recently. I heard that it might be because of Miss Lingsha’s issue. The police station still won’t let her go. It must be because of Mu Yuchen putting pressure. When I talked to them before this, they seemed like they were quite troubled. I’m worried—”
“City Z’s still not Mu Yuchen’s turf. He will know when to stop. He’s clearly targetting Lingsha and Qi Feng with this issue. The fact that they got to this state is a good lesson for them too. They’ve overestimated themselves!” Gu Qiwu said coldly.
Every time Gu Lingsha caused a problem, he would always have to pick up the pieces. This time, he wanted to let Gu Lingsha and Qi Feng understand that they needed to take responsibility themselves!
“Yes, Boss!” Ah Yong listened and could only answer simply.
