Capítulo 1275: Chapter 1288
But after thinking for a long ti, she ultimately decided it was better not to tell him.
Throughout the journey, Mu Bingtong was always distracted. Chu Ge looked at her, puzzled, and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you tired?”
Mu Bingtong shook her head, “No, I’m just thinking about so things.”
Thinking about the nightmare she had before, she now felt a sense of oppression facing Chu Ge, making her very uncomfortable.
“In a while, we’ll put down the luggage, and I’ll take you out to eat. After dinner, you can rest. Don’t go hungry.”
Mu Bingtong nodded, “Okay.”
Then they didn’t say another word. The quietness of the ti allowed a mysterious feeling to develop between the two of them silently.
Chu Ge occasionally sneaked glances at Mu Bingtong from the corner of his eye, and Mu Bingtong was also stealing glances at Chu Ge.
Occasionally, their eyes would et, only to hurriedly look away again.
Arriving at the villa, Chu Ge settled Mu Bingtong, and after she tidied up briefly, they went out for a al.
Five-star hotels didn’t appeal much to Chu Ge, but unfortunately, so people always preferred such places.
Moreover, since many people see such places as symbols of power and status, a person of Chu Ge’s standing naturally can’t just casually settle his al at a street market like an ordinary citizen.
Mu Bingtong, this ti, was evidently prepared as she chose a renowned high-end restaurant in Capital City; nonetheless, for Chu Ge, just having a al with her here was nothing surprising.
In comparison, the news she brought was clearly what Chu Ge was focused on.
“Is your company in trouble now? Alright, tell , what’s the issue? Cash flow?”
Holding an ice-cold lemonade with amusent, Chu Ge’s expression was as if he had never expected Mu Bingtong to co looking for him, using a mocking tone and a light laugh.
The plush restaurant private room exuded a faint aroma of dishes, and the dishes on the table were abundant, yet only a bit was picked; both had a small appetite, though the hotel’s complintary drinks were consud quickly.
The speed at which the ice water in the container diminished could almost be described as “instantaneous,” Chu Ge’s question went unanswered, leaving him feeling helpless and shrugging, and then he stood up, turned towards the door, smiled impeccably, “If you insist on toughing it out yourself, I guess I can’t be of help here, so I’ll head back first.”
Chu Ge knew he had a lot to do, and it was entirely impossible for him to waste ti in such a place; despite the enticing dishes on the table, this room, drenched in the sll of money, didn’t fit his personal lifestyle.
Although his daily life was never divorced from money, the gap between n and won also made him unwilling to spend money on unnecessary embellishnts.
Just a little, a tiny bit, to make those close to him clearly recognize his status would suffice.
Behaviors like decorating the dining place in such an ostentatious fashion were entirely inconsistent with his lifestyle; not to ntion other instances of extravagance.
Chu Ge was unclear about what happened on Mu Bingtong’s side, but if she was unwilling to tell, Chu Ge was also unsure why she had to co to Capital City to find him.
“Let
be straightforward then, soone’s ssing with my company; he has his motives, but at present, I don’t know who he is.”
Mu Bingtong’s tone was sowhat helpless, which made Chu Ge, who was rely intending to convey his attitude to Mu Bingtong, slowly walk back to his seat, supported himself on the chair back, smiled quietly, “I want to know, exactly who?”
There’s only a handful of entities capable of impacting Mu Bingtong’s company, and strictly speaking, Chu Ge wasn’t sure who seed the most suspicious.
“Do you have any leads?”
“Leads? Maybe, but still not certain; also, could you sit down to talk?”
A slight reproachful glance at Chu Ge hovering over her, Mu Bingtong didn’t know that the person behind it was actually in another private room in the restaurant, where Wei Yu was silently listening to his informant reporting to him.
Their actions were swift, indeed, even Mu Bingtong had found Chu Ge, and he knew perfectly well; but as for how much influence Chu Ge holds in Capital City, he naturally understood as well.
So things can’t be handled with cold hard courage alone.
Although he had the capability to make Mu Bingtong suffer behind the scenes, it didn’t an that he had the ability to confront Chu Ge’s entire interest group head-on — had he been able to, naturally, he wouldn’t resort to such childish tricks in the dark to snatch Mu Bingtong’s attention.
She had always been indifferent to him, if he could make her actively beg him to let her go, what a pleasing scene that would be?
Unable to resist, he tossed the machine in his hands aside, developing yet another layer of thought regarding Chu Ge’s positioning.
He’s a bastard competing with him for a woman.
Such a statent sounded sowhat laughable, yet Mu Bingtong first sought him out instead of himself, which gave Wei Yu ample reason to list Chu Ge as his competitor.
“Chu Ge… Chu Ge, is it!?”
Slightly crazed, he stood up from the dining table, abruptly flung open the ninth floor door, quietly observed the corridor where only the waiters’ and attendants’ light but hurried footsteps echoed, and quietly walked to the teahouse tucked at the stairwell corner.
That’s the restaurant’s specialty, and here, both he and the two who would soon exit the private room could clearly see each other.
“Chu Ge…”
The na had long been known to him; in many senses, it was synonymous with negativity, making Wei Yu more displeased with Mu Bingtong opting to find him.
Clearly, he had been persistently trying to showcase the outward appearance of a successful gentleman, trying to make this woman believe him, actively approach him; yet she decided to look for the man called Chu Ge?
The laughter of male-female exchanges abruptly erged from the side, the two erging from the room passed by Wei Yu, talking and laughing, then suddenly halted as if noticing sothing.
“Who’s this? I didn’t expect you, President Wei, to show up here?”
“Cannot afford the title, there aren’t many people within Capital City whom Chu Ge would call ‘President’, and I naturally am not among them!”
The smiling face increasingly made Chu Ge feel sothing was amiss; he didn’t recall having any interactions worthy of this person using such a smile to face him.
Naturally, he decided to ignore this response, and after a polite smile, he turned to leave, holding Mu Bingtong’s hand.
“Chu Ge!”
Unexpectedly, he spoke first, making Chu Ge turn around puzzled, only to see a bizarre smile.
“Better watch out, the woman beside you, I’ve taken a liking to her.”
“Oh, I know.” Chu Ge replied indifferently.
“You’re not worried?”
“Worried about what? Worried she’ll be taken by you? Haha, but you’re welco to try.”
