Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Sorry, Mr. Gu, I took the person you liked_1
Seems like they, similar to the bevy of beauties from before, thought she was a drinking companion brought by Jin Xiangbei!
"Oh, they just misunderstood. They call
Red Rose," Eleven spun a lie out of thin air.
"Red Rose? Never heard of it."
"Just a small, nondescript club," she replied.
"Don’t worry, little one. I can tell you’re new here. Count yourself in!" bead one of the won.
"Going where?"
Before Eleven could figure out what was happening, she was swept away into the crowd.
Jin Xiangbei told her not to stray... God knows what kind of trouble she might end up in!
Seeing an opportunity, Eleven casually queried, "Is it soone’s birthday today?" The decorations suggested so.
"Director Zhang’s daughter’s. She is born with a silver spoon, unlike us."
They headed towards a dimly lit private room. It seed like they were planning to go in. Eleven was on high alert and prepared to make a run for it at the earliest opportunity. If she really got caught up in there, there would be no getting out!
"CEO Jin is looking for , I should go—"
"Don’t get hung up on CEO Jin! We are here to help you! Do you know who’s inside there? Soone you wouldn’t even dare to dream about! Gu Liancheng! The Gu Liancheng from Liancheng Group!"
Boom——!
Eleven was stunned,
"You said... who?" her eyes widened incredulously.
"Surprised, right!? Gu Liancheng! Apparently, he ca only because of his respect for Director Zhang! We can’t even get him to co on normal days! You sure are lucky today!"
Eleven: "..."
Lucky?! More like bad luck! Of all places, she had to run into Gu Liancheng here?!
Oh, yes...
He did ntion during the day that he had to attend a feast unexpectedly! Presumably, when he reached Japan, Director Zhang sent him an invitation, forcing him to return...
But how would she have guessed that the banquet he was attending was the sa one Jin Xiangbei was at?!
"Look at you, clueless. But don’t worry, all us ’sisters’ are compassionate and will definitely help you!"
It was obvious that though these young won had professions that were looked down upon, it didn’t necessarily an they were bad people. They were willing to help her right upon their first eting, giving her a chance to land a "big deal"!
But...
Eleven wanted to cry. How great would it be if they weren’t so helpful?
"Well, we’ve helped you this far. Once you’re inside, you’re on your own. Whichever ’deal’ you end up with, it’s all up to you."
"Oh, my... My stomach hurts. I think I’ll go to the restroom, you guys go in."
Eleven made to bolt but just then, the doors to the private room swung open, revealing the foyer.
Both Eleven and Gu Liancheng were rendered motionless.
Eleven was on the verge of breaking down inside, for their paths had just crossed unexpectedly!
"Oh! You’re all here, co in!"
Before she knew it, she was being ushered in by the "sisters". Gu Liancheng, stood rooted by the door, his gaze fixed on her.
His expression grew colder, blocking the door as he prepared to close it.
He looked back only to co face to face with Jin Xiangbei.
Jin Xiangbei smiled at him before entering the room.
All the while, Gu Liancheng couldn’t comprehend the aning behind that smile.
"Little North’s here too! What an honor for Uncle Zhang! Liancheng, co sit. We have so many beauties here, feel free to choose any."
Eleven stood frozen, feeling as if she’d been struck by lightning.
Jin Xiangbei’s here too! This is a disaster!
Soone quipped, "Director Zhang, Mr. Gu is a married man. "
"What does it matter? We’re all friends here, out for a good ti! We can’t have anyone being a buzzkill! Little North, don’t be shy. Pick who you want. The both of you are the guests of honor today, so you pick first."
"Since Director Zhang has spoken, we’ll have to oblige!"
Gu Liancheng, ignoring the rest, was completely fixated on Eleven.
This woman...
Eleven’s discomfort was palpable, she wished she could sink into the ground. Now what...
Just as Gu Liancheng was about to stand up, Jin Xiangbei beat him to it, pulling Eleven into his embrace, his tone laced with affection, "Didn’t I ask you to wait for
obediently? How did you end up here alone?"
"Oh? Little North, you know her?" Director Zhang was delighted by this turn of events.
"Yes," Jin Xiangbei replied with a smile, "Sorry Uncle Zhang, she is with , she’s mine."
Eleven could hardly bear to look at Gu Liancheng’s expression then!
Yet, Jin Xiangbei’s gaze landed on Gu Liancheng next. With an apologetic smile, he said, "Sorry Mr. Gu, seems like I took the one you had your eyes on. However, I had her first."
Everyone saw Gu Liancheng’s face turn as cold as ice.
