Lin Teshu followed his gaze and looked over.

Having been colleagues on the top floor for several years, he was far more familiar with Liu Yiyi than Wu Yue.

"It's her, she's probably here to see Mr. Lu."

He hasn't paid attention to Liu Yiyi's movements since she left the Lu family, but he can roughly guess something without thinking.

She wasn't doing well.

Therefore, Assistant Lin was not surprised at all as to why she appeared here.

Wu Yue got a definite answer from Assistant Lin, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Whether it was Jian Yao's relationship problems with Brother Lu or her falling out with Mr. Li, in the final analysis it was Liu Yiyi's fault.

She was the one who shamelessly interfered in the relationship between Jian Yao and Brother Lu, and it was she who turned a deaf ear and asked Brother Lu to arrange for her good-for-nothing brother to work in the company.

In the end, it was all her fault.

Under the illumination of the car lights, Liu Yiyi waved her hand in the direction of the vehicle, obviously recognizing that it was Lu Chengze's car.

Wu Yue snorted disdainfully and ordered the driver, "Ignore her and drive directly over."

The black vehicle passed by, and the wind brought up Liu Yiyi's hair.

It was obviously a hot summer day, but she felt cold all over.

She watched with some sluggishness as the familiar license plate disappeared at the gate of the community, and stood there in embarrassment.

She has been with Lu Chengze since college. After all these years, does he really not miss his old relationship at all?

She even...

rejected the generous conditions offered by Lu Jingyi.

She came today just hoping that Lu Chengze would let her brother go for once because of their last bit of affection.

But he didn't even give her a chance to talk or meet.

Liu Yiyi lowered her head, and warm tears fell from the corners of her eyes, bitter and astringent.

The phone in her hand kept vibrating, and every message was urging and questioning from Mother Liu.

She bit her lip and stared at the beating messages for a long time. Finally, she made up her mind to find the unfamiliar number and dialed it.

The person on the other side seemed very sure that she would regret it. He answered the phone very quickly and his tone was brisk and playful.

"Thinked it through?"

Liu Yiyi pursed her lips and confirmed again, "Can you guarantee that Mr. Lu will definitely let my brother go after the matter is completed?"

Lu Jingyi snorted, "Of course, if you don't believe it, I can agree first Your money will be transferred to you."

Liu Yiyi thought of her brother's request for help in the police station, her parents' questioning, and Lu Chengze's ruthlessness, and the hesitation in her eyes gradually turned into determination.

"Okay, I promise you."

In front of Xiaoxiang Mansion.

Xu Yao watched Gu Zhiyan's black Bentley disappear into the night, and raised his hand to rub his stiff face.

The secretary behind him was holding the freshly released contract and smiling from ear to ear.

"We have relied on so many connections but have never connected with the Gu family. I didn't expect that the most useful connection is right next to us!"

"Yes."

Xu Yao thought of just now. After the entire cooperation negotiation, Gu Zhiyan was extremely easy to talk to, as if he signed the contract just to leave. This process was obviously deliberately designed to give Xu a slip.

On the day of the engagement, he actually went there, but there were too many people around the Gu family, and he couldn't get close.

Moreover, at that time, they only thought that Jian Yao was marrying someone high up. As members of her natal family, they couldn't lose Jian Yao's face and let the Gu family look down upon her.

Who would have thought that Gu Zhiyan and the Gu family seemed to value Jian Yao very much?

Even Xu Si, who played well with her, was noticed by Gu Zhiyan.

Thinking of the rock sugar bird's nest that Gu Zhiyan packed just now, he carried it with his own hands the whole time, and even the assistant was not allowed to touch it.

I sighed in my heart.

"This girl Jian Yao is a lucky one."

When the secretary heard this, she thought of Lu Chengze who had just been dragged away, and curled her lips.

"That's right! Miss Jian Yao is blessed, but some people may be pissed to death!"

What the hell!

You can't understand even if you eat soft rice!

Look at what he looked like just now. I heard that he even drove away the previous secretary named Liu.

The child is dead and the milk is coming.

It's useful!

"Thanks to Mr. Gu for his good temper, he doesn't get angry even if he offends him."

Xu Yao shook his head.

The young man is still too young. With Gu Zhiyan's status, why does he need to do it himself?

He only needs to show a little signal that he doesn't like Lu and Lu Chengze in front of people, and if there are many people, they will be willing to charge into battle to please him.

He didn't care about Lu Chengze because he knew that Lu Chengze didn't need him to take action.

After Gu Zhiyan got in the car, he put away the food box in his hand.

Assistant Xu glanced at Mr. Gu in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

His face was as usual, clear and elegant, with no trace of anger around him.

"Mr. Gu, aren't you angry?" He

was provoked like this by Lu Chengze twice and three times.

Gu Zhiyan tugged on his tie and unbuttoned a button on the collar with his plain fingertips, lazily and casually, "Why are you angry?"

He chuckled, "I should be happy."

If Lu Chengze hadn't failed to live up to his expectations, maybe now He was the one who drank and went crazy.

Pei Yi is right, he is the heart.

Lu Chengze's downfall and regret seemed to him to be the song of victory.

Seeing him in pain made him extremely happy.

Assistant Xu didn't quite understand what made Mr. Gu happy, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions and concentrated on driving.

Gu Zhiyan raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already past eight o'clock.

He raised his hand to check the temperature on the food box and said softly.

"A little faster."

This was the last time he came home after Jian Yao moved here. He didn't know if she would be anxious.

Gu Zhiyan lowered his eyes, looked at his cell phone which was motionless, and pulled his lips in a self-deprecating tone.

Probably...that's not possible, right?

Assistant Xu held the steering wheel and looked at the crowded road ahead, not surprised by Gu Zhiyan's "rude" request.

Since getting engaged to Miss Jian Yao, the old "working hard, working overtime, Mr. Gu" no longer exists.

The current one is "not doing his job properly. He is a maniac who loves his wife. Mr. Gu".

What's the point of urging the car to speed up? I am willing to work overtime to discuss cooperation because the other party is Mr. Xu.

Xu Si, the vice-president of the Xu family, is said to be wearing the same pair of trousers as his wife.

These days, best friends always try to persuade them to break up rather than make peace, and it's not okay to try to please them.

In the silent carriage, the short message prompts were particularly obvious.

On the screen of the mobile phone that lights up, a familiar cat avatar is displayed.

The dark eyes soaked in the night suddenly burst into a bright light, and the slender fingertips opened the phone screen.

"Are you busy today?"

"Typing" at the top of the screen appeared and disappeared several times, as if he was thinking about his words.

A smile appeared on Gu Zhiyan's lips, and he typed a line of text and sent it.

"Well, I just signed a contract and I'm on my way back now."

This time, the reply was much faster.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

He lowered his eyes and looked at the words "I'll wait for you". Even though he knew that she just said it casually, he still couldn't help but feel a hint of sweetness in his heart.

In Gu Yuanli, Jian Yao held her phone and felt a little regretful.

If she had known that he was already on his way back, she would not have asked.

Tonight was the first night that they would officially live together. Urging him to come back seemed like how urgent she was.

Especially, when she also prepared a gift.
