The hospital soon delivered news, "Qian Zhi Ling had spent a considerable ti at sea, she is now delirious, unaware of her own identity, and unable to provide any useful information."
Bei Ran had been awaiting news from Qian Zhi Ling, only to find out that her line of inquiry had co to an abrupt end.
She contemplated whether to summon Fang Zimo to examine Qian Zhi Ling, considering that Qian Zhi Ling had once taken Fang Zimo’s dicine!
Gu Group.
Following the news of Gu Bohan’s death, the Gu Group also experienced turmoil!
The call for Gu Yucheng to beco president was growing louder; Gu Qingchen was often absent from the company, and many affairs were subsequently managed by Gu Yucheng.
After hours, Gu Yucheng and so of the senior shareholders were sipping red wine at a high-end hotel.
Gu Yucheng raised his glass: "Are you all satisfied with the recent investnts?"
The markets he targeted were nearly always sure to be profitable.
If one were to ask what is most alluring in these tis, the answer is undoubtedly—money.
With money to be made, everyone was flushed with delight; together raising their glasses in celebration: "We are quite content, and now the Gu Group is yours, President Gu."
Sycophantic flattery quickly began to fill the air.
Gu Yucheng felt that even if he were to leave the Gu Group with nothing, he could still make a fortune, but it’s human nature to strive for recognition.
That’s the case not just at work but also in love.
When everyone had their fill of alcohol that evening, he was the first to leave, with Lu Fei whispering in his ear: "President Gu, Xiaoli has arrived!"
Gu Yucheng took a mont to collect his thoughts, then rembered that it was Zhuang Xiaoli; having had so wine, he felt a bit tipsy: "Where is she?"
This ’she’ naturally referred to Ji Su.
"She’s here too!" Lu Fei imdiately replied.
Thus, Lu Fei drove the car, Gu Yucheng sat in the backseat, while Xiaoli and Ji Su each took a seat by his side.
The luxury car had ample space, yet Ji Su felt an intangible pressure closing in on her.
Xiaoli was thrilled to see Gu Yucheng, while Ji Su felt revulsion at eting him.
"Yucheng, aren’t you tired?" Xiaoli seized the opportunity to nestle into his arms, "Shall I massage you to relax? Would that be good?"
Ji Su had not anticipated Xiaoli to be so bold, daring to seduce Gu Yucheng right in front of her!
She was slightly surprised; Gu Yucheng didn’t speak, perhaps the alcohol loosened his usual stern deanor, Ji Su could even detect the faint scent of red wine on him.
Nonetheless, this didn’t change Ji Su’s mind that he was but a captor.
Or perhaps he had heard her silent rebuke, as Gu Yucheng turned his head and caught Ji Su’s eye.
Although his gaze was softened by alcohol and was not as sharp as usual, she still discerned the intent in his eyes.
He was silently conveying: "Ji Su, did you teach her this?"
Ji Su hadn’t expected Gu Yucheng to question her with such a look, of course not!
She had indeed been advising Xiaoli recently, with the emphasis on Xiaoli prioritizing her studies; how could she possibly teach Xiaoli to entice and flirt with a man?
"I didn’t!" Ji Su said impatiently, blurting out these three words.
Xiaoli felt Gu Yucheng’s gaze lingering on Ji Su and deliberately rubbed against Gu Yucheng, hoping to recapture his attention.
"Xiaoli—," Ji Su couldn’t restrain herself from calling out, "Don’t you have any self-respect? Do you realize where you are? Do you understand that this man isn’t sincere with you?"
Seeing that Gu Yucheng was silent, Xiaoli boldly said, "Yucheng is the person I adore the most, I will do anything to make him happy..."
Gu Yucheng withdrew his gaze from Ji Su and looked at Xiaoli beside him, his eyes sowhat hazy, not stopping the conflict between the two won.
Gazing at her, his lips, flushed from the wine, Gu Yucheng slightly curved them in a smile, as if watching an entertaining drama unfold.
Ji Su glared at him furiously.
Gu Yucheng simply and indifferently said, "Let’s head back!"
Xiaoli quickly retorted to Ji Su: "Did you hear that, ex-girlfriend? He’s telling you to go back!"
Ji Su’s eyes reddened; she felt she could no longer manage Xiaoli. If Xiaoli was set on degrading herself to a man, there was nothing she could do.
Upon hearing this, Ji Su imdiately reached for the car door.
Gu Yucheng, however, addressed Xiaoli with a cold and rciless voice: "It’s you!"
Xiaoli was shocked; she had been prepared to offer herself, yet this man...
Unwilling to leave, she looked at Gu Yucheng with pleading eyes.
