Chapter 458: Chapter 458: If You Don’t Agree, Co At
“Louis, are you all right?”
A cry of alarm ca from behind the sofa.
When I focused my gaze, I realized that Lin Anqi had returned at so point. Perhaps out of fear, she had been hiding on top of the sofa, crouching on the ground without getting up.
Now that the bad guys had left, Lin Anqi finally got up from the floor. She walked over with a towel in her hand and began to dab at the bloodstains on Gu Yuanzhou’s face.
Seeing Lin Anqi trembling with fright, Gu Yuanzhou tightly grasped her hand, “It’s okay! Don’t be afraid!”
“Louis, it’s a good thing you took action just now. Otherwise, I might have been kidnapped. I was so scared.”
“It’s over now, there won’t be a next ti.”
Gu Yuanzhou was extrely considerate and gently soothed Lin Anqi, showing great patience with her.
I couldn’t help but laugh at myself sarcastically.
I had actually thought just now that he was doing this for .
It seems I really was overthinking it.
The servants ca over to clean the bloodstains on the floor.
Gu Yuanzhou took Lin Anqi by the shoulders and headed to the bedroom inside…
Lin Nansheng sat down beside ,
“Xiaoyun, you must have been scared to death, right?”
“Not really! It wasn’t that terrible; I was just worried about you, Uncle Lin. Dealing with those kinds of people is quite frightening.”
Lin Nansheng sighed,
“There’s no helping it. Doing business ans dealing with all kinds of people. You have to interact with individuals from both the underworld and legitimate circles. I’ve encountered quite a few of these desperados before. But back when I was young, I was bold and fearless. Now that I’m older, I can’t control the situation anymore. Fortunately, Louis was here to help ; that guy is very determined and shrewd—he’s ruthless!”
I silently sipped my tea.
Thinking that perhaps those servants were right.
Gu Yuanzhou indeed seed to be the perfect candidate to take over Lin Nansheng’s position.
He and Lin Anqi made such a well-matched pair.
“Ah, that scoundrel Cui Sheng has already co many tis before. He even kidnapped Anqi once, so every ti Anqi sees him, she is terrified. Now that we have Louis, he won’t dare to co and bother us again.”
The words of Lin Nansheng once again confird that my previous thoughts were just wishful thinking.
Gu Yuanzhou was out to save Lin Anqi, not .
What was I thinking?
After a long while, I finally asked,
“Since Anqi is already pregnant, when are they going to have their wedding?”
Lin Nansheng frowned,
“In a few months, I guess. Anqi’s pregnancy is not stable right now; she can’t be too stressed. Actually, she herself is not in a hurry, getting registered is enough. The wedding ceremony can be held anyti later on.”
“That’s true, these days young people often have children first and then register their marriage…”
Half an hour later, Gu Yuanzhou ca downstairs. He approached Lin Nansheng,
“Anqi has fallen asleep; she’s had a shock and won’t be joining everyone for dinner tonight.”
Lin Nansheng nodded,
“That’s fine! This child… I’m thinking about bringing her mother back.”
“She says there’s no need; she can take care of herself.”
“All right, by the way… Louis, there are so other businesses I have, especially those in Southeast Asia, I plan to leave them in your hands from now on.”
“Uncle Lin, isn’t it too soon to hand them over to now?”
“Ah, after what happened just now, I’ve realized I’m truly old and no longer useful. My legs turned to jelly just from that incident. This world belongs to you young people now.”
Gu Yuanzhou no longer resisted.
“Since you have entrusted with such an important task, I will brave wind and fla to fulfill it! I shall not shirk from my duties!”
I let out a soft laugh upon hearing this.
Coveting soone else’s property, and not even bothering to hide it.
So blatant.
Gu Yuanzhou was very sensitive; after my mockery, he imdiately turned his head towards ,
“Miss Song, do you have any objections?”
I watched him with cold eyes,
“I’m wondering if you really have such great ability.”
Gu Yuanzhou looked unconcerned, and cast a proud glance at .
“If you don’t believe it, why don’t you try?”
“If I weren’t pregnant right now, I would have taken you up on that offer.”
“Oh, then you can ask your Doctor Ding to co over! Let’s see who is more capable, him or !”
Gu Yuanzhou’s eyes were full of mockery.
“What does this have to do with Ding Yinuo?”
Lin Nansheng seed not to notice the conflict between myself and Gu Yuanzhou, and suddenly said,
“By the way, I’ve invited your Doctor Ding over.”
“Ah? Uncle Lin, why did you invite him?”
Lin Nansheng patted my shoulder, comforting ,
“Don’t worry, Anqi has already told . She said you’d already married that Doctor Ding… so, we can understand your situation.”
“Er…”
Since the conversation had reached this point, I didn’t have anything else to say.
I glanced at Gu Yuanzhou again.
Seeing the extrely displeased expression on his face, I no longer felt the need to explain.
Half an hour later.
The entire villa had been cleaned up, not a trace of blood in sight.
Gu Yuanzhou called the bodyguards outside, giving them instructions in a low voice to ensure the security around the island.
The servants polished the floor until it shone like a mirror.
I sat on the sofa sipping coffee, thinking over the recent events as if they were a dream.
A nightmare.
Ding Yinuo really showed up!
It truly was beyond my expectations.
In the middle of the night, he had actually driven over.
Dressed in a dark blue suit, with a crisply pressed white shirt, shiny leather shoes, and his hair neatly combed.
He still appeared refined and elegant, looking fresh and handso.
He was also carrying a number of expensive gifts in both hands.
Looking closer, I saw a bottle of foreign liquor worth tens of thousands, as well as one of the finest Feitian Moutai from the dostic market, not to ntion health supplents like bird’s nest.
It seems he truly spared no expense.
“Uncle Lin, good evening.”
Indeed, Ding Yinuo was soone who could hold his own in society, in both social grace and mannerisms, he was second to none.
Born with the natural poise and arrogance of a wealthy family scion.
Had it not been for Gu Yuanzhou, he could have easily been considered the top man in A City.
So, it was no wonder Lin Nansheng had taken an imdiate liking to this young talent.
At this mont, Lin Nansheng, upon seeing Ding Yinuo carrying so many gifts, was overjoyed and he took the gifts from Ding’s hands.
“You’re here at last, but why bring so many gifts?”
“Just a small token of appreciation, please don’t mind it!”
“Co on, have a seat, quick!”
Lin Nansheng treated Ding Yinuo as an honored guest, leading him to a seat of high status.
Ding Yinuo was composed as he sat down and began to converse with Lin Nansheng.
Having managed affairs at Tianxiao Company before, Ding Yinuo could discuss not only dical academia with Lin Nansheng but also business matters.
Gu Yuanzhou stood at a distance by the floor-to-ceiling window, smoking a cigarette while peering over with half-squinted eyes.
His gaze towards Ding Yinuo was always tinged with disdain…
