Chapter 83: Flowers from an Anonymous Giver
With a gloomy look in his eyes, Gu Zijin said coldly,
“Those were not from me.”
Qin Muxuan got dazed hearing that. ‘Since Gu Zijin didn’t sent me the flowers, who else knows that I am in the Gu Group now?’ As she thought of that, a harsh warning had already come through the line,
“Throw the flowers away.”
Qin Muxuan felt a dull pain in her heart. How could she throw such beautiful flowers away? However, since he had asked that, Qin Muxuan could only agree since she couldn’t afford to irritate Gu Zijin.
Outside the president office of the Gu Group, on the seventeenth floor.
Lisa was surprised to receive a call from Country C, but she still answered the call immediately,
“President Gu, is there something wrong with the project?”
“No. I want you to find out who has sent Qin Muxuan a bunch of flowers today. Tell me when you get a result.”
Hearing that, Lisa couldn’t help but twitch her mouth, ‘So president has called me urgently from another country only to find out who sent Qin Muxuan the flowers?’ Lisa suddenly realized that her president was getting more and more different since a certain point.
After that, Lisa went to look into the flower thing right away. The staffer at the front desk said that the guy had put down the flowers there and left straightaway. Lisa could only check the video. At twenty past eleven, a figure walked into the Gu Group. Lisa stared at the figure on the screen. As the man in the video turned around, Lisa paused the video. With a surprised look crossing Lisa’s eyes, she found the guy was Yin Youting. She heard that Yin Youting had gone back to his family to take over his family business. Little did she expect that, the man who had just inherited his family property would have shown up in the front hall of the Gu Group.
‘What’s the relationship between Yin Youting and Qin Muxuan? Why did he send her roses?’ In no time, Lisa thought of all kinds of possibilities, ‘Does Yin Youting also like Qin Muxuan like President Gu?’
After Lisa found out about that, she told Gu Zijin right away. Hearing that, Gu Zijin compressed his thin lips and flushed with anger. ‘Good for you, Yin Youting, how dare you get close to Qin Muxuan when I am not around!’ Thinking of that, Gu Zijin wasn’t in the mood of discussing the project at all and only wanted to get back to City A.
Ye Niancheng also felt that Gu Zijin had been distracted. But he didn’t dare to interrupt Gu Zijin’s train of thought and could only wait beside the latter gingerly. After a long while, he said,
“President Gu, are you satisfied with our current rate of progress? If you don’t, I can order them to speed up and try to finish the preparation work before our project starts.”
Gu Zijin compressed his lips and gave no answer. Then he turned around to look at his assistant, saying,
“Book tonight’s flight to City A.”
The assistant who had been called all of a sudden was totally at a loss, but still did as Gu Zijin had told. Ye Niancheng thought that he had done something wrong, saying with cold sweats all over his forehead,
“President Gu, please tell straightly which part you are not satisfied with. I won’t mind.”
Gu Zijin squinted his eyes, with the expression on his face looking extremely scary,
“What I am not satisfied with is that someone is coveting my woman when I am away.”
Ye Niancheng was taken aback and also afraid that Gu Zijin wanted to cancel the cooperation again. Thinking that all the money he had given to Qin Xiaobai might be wasted, Ye Niancheng almost had the impulse to kneel before Gu Zijin. Then, Gu Zijin stood up and looked at the assistant, saying,
“You stay here to discuss the project with Mr. Ye, I’ll go back home tonight.”
“Yes, president.”
Ye Niancheng let out a sigh of relief when hearing that Gu Zijin’s assistant would stay. In the meantime, Gu Zijin had already stepped outside, leaving everyone in a daze.
City A.
Black clouds gathered overhead, which meant the rainstorm was about to come. The low air pressure made it hard to breathe. Qin Muxuan looked outside worriedly because she didn’t bring an umbrella. Although Uncle Chen said that he would come to pick her up, she still felt a bit restless. Then she dialed Uncle Chen’s number ahead of time. The latter looked to the outside and said with a smile,
“Don’t worry, Miss Qin. The rain is not heavy at all. I’ll take care of myself on the road.”
“That’s great.”
Qin Muxuan got relieved after hanging up the phone. The Gu’s house was built on the top of the mountain. It was very difficult to drive on the winding road. Qin Muxuan was worried that it would be dangerous for Uncle Chen to drive in the rainstorm.
What she didn’t know was that the moment Uncle Chen hung up the phone, Elderly Lady Gu walked to him with a walking stick while saying with a long face,
“Was that Qin Muxuan?”
Uncle Chen nodded honestly. Then Elderly Lady Gu snorted and said,
“How shameful she is! She tells you to pick her up every day! Our family has already been kind enough to let her study in our company, now she thinks she could do anything in our company because she’s Xiaobai’s mother. The weather is so bad today, tell her to come back by herself.”
“But…”
Uncle Chen showed a reluctant look. However, seeing the malicious look on Elderly Lady Gu’s face, he weighed up the matter carefully and finally nodded and agreed.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
It was five o’clock already.
It was darker than usual because of the rain which was about to come. Qin Muxuan stood by the gate of the Gu Group, waiting for Uncle Chen to pick her up. The guard behind her had already locked the door. With a sudden clap of thunder, it rained cats and dogs right away. Qin Muxuan dropped her phone in a pool of water when being scared by the thunder. After she bent over and picked the phone up, she only saw a black screen.
The gales turned fiercer when lightning and thunder came altogether. Although Qin Muxuan was not afraid of the thunder or the rain, she still got a bit panicky standing alone with no place to hide. Uncle Chen should have already come at this hour. She couldn’t help but wonder if something had happened to him.
Qin Muxuan stood close to the gate, shrinking her head helplessly. Suddenly, a silver BMW stopped by the road. As Qin Muxuan glanced over, she saw Yin Youting walking over to her with an umbrella in his hand. Then it suddenly crossed her mind that the roses she had received might be sent by Yin Youting. However, she couldn’t figure out why he had sent her roses. Before she could think further, Yin Youting had already walked up to her. Qin Muxuan raised her head and said to Yin Youting,
“Uncle Chen would pick me up later, you can leave me alone.”
“It’s already six thirty.”
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan got a bit dazed. Her phone had water damage so she didn’t know the time. Yin Youting looked at Qin Muxuan’s clothes which had already been wet with a concerned look. Then he took his coat off and put it on Qin Muxuan’s body, but she stopped him from doing that and bit her lips, saying,
“Yin Youting, we have no relationship now. I’m grateful that you have taken care of me before, but last time you have betrayed me. Now we are even.”
Hearing her words, Yin Youting wanted to explain for himself, but didn’t know how. He once had a glimmer of hope that Qin Muxuan might not know about that. However, now he realized that Qin Muxuan surely was clever enough to figure out that the photos had been spread by him.
“Xuan, I didn’t mean to…”
“Let go of her!”
A cold voice came through from aside.
