Chapter 1458: Chapter 1471
As soon as Li Hua heard this, he imdiately shut up. How would he know why Elder Jian hadn’t contacted him? Jian Chunqiu had always been unpredictable, not to ntion he was just an insignificant nobody. Even if Jian Chunqiu had so itinerary or other important matters, he wouldn’t consult with him.
"Alright, since he isn’t coming to us, it ans he has more important things to deal with. If that’s the case, we’ll just wait patiently," Chu Ge said in a calm tone. To be honest, when he first arrived in this world, he was quite anxious, but later he realized that being anxious was useless. Instead of fretting alone, it was better to face everything calmly.
Seeing Chu Ge so unconcerned, Li Hua couldn’t help but pout, "You have nothing to do, but it’s hard on . I’m here with you doing nothing every day, and I’m practically rotting."
Chu Ge suspiciously glanced at him, "What did you say?"
Li Hua hurriedly shook his head, "Nothing, nothing. Haha, by the way, didn’t you say you were hungry? Why are we at a café? The food here is expensive and doesn’t fill you up. Why don’t we go straight to a restaurant instead?"
But Chu Ge shook his head, "You all don’t know how to enjoy life and think I’m belittling you. Coming here is not just for eating, it’s also to calm down and think over so things."
Li Hua scratched his head, "So there’s another way to say it like that."
He mumbled sothing, which Chu Ge didn’t quite hear, but he wasn’t interested in what he said anyway. He stepped into the café, and suddenly a petite figure rushed towards him.
Shen Yaoyao had seen Chu Ge before he even ca in. She had been looking for him for several days without finding him, and each ti it felt like he was deliberately avoiding her. Now, he unexpectedly appeared here, bumping into her.
This ti, she wouldn’t let Chu Ge off so easily!
Shen Yaoyao rushed in front of Chu Ge, raising her hand to slap him, but before the slap could land, her wrist was grabbed by Chu Ge.
Chu Ge looked at her sternly, "Tired of living?"
The three short words were filled with icy coldness. Shen Yaoyao’s nose suddenly stung with grievances, and she looked at Chu Ge with red eyes, "Chu Ge, do you really not like Sister Mu anymore? Or have you grown tired of us?"
Chu Ge slightly furrowed his brows. Was Sister Mu in her words referring to Mu Bingtong?
In his world, Shen Yaoyao and Mu Bingtong were also good friends. Just a mont ago, he almost mistook Shen Yaoyao for soone from his world.
Seeing this scene, Li Hua was almost losing it. He quickly stepped forward and whispered to Chu Ge, "Rember to act, don’t blow your cover, and don’t let people find out who you are!"
The voice was low, only audible to Chu Ge and Li Hua.
Shen Yaoyao suspiciously looked at Li Hua, "What are you two whispering about?"
Li Hua awkwardly smiled, "Nothing, nothing at all."
Shen Yaoyao tightly pressed her lips, "I know you might be busy, but no matter how busy you are, you need to co ho. Even if you can’t co ho, shouldn’t you at least tell Mu Jiejie and
about it? Keeping silent like this, people might think we did sothing to you!"
She glared at Chu Ge angrily. She said so much, yet Chu Ge didn’t say a word in response. Was this guy even listening to her?
Chu Ge squinted at Shen Yaoyao, just about to speak, when suddenly a familiar figure appeared behind her. Wei Yu looked at Chu Ge with a smiling face, "What a coincidence, we’re eting again."
Whether intentionally or not, Wei Yu moved close to Shen Yaoyao, showing intimacy.
But Chu Ge remained indifferent from start to finish, never taking Wei Yu seriously. He slightly curled his lips, "Quite a coincidence, though it leaves a bad taste."
After saying that, Chu Ge, hands in pockets, arrogantly walked past Wei Yu. Chu Ge
Shen Yaoyao turned and glared at Wei Yu, "President Wei, don’t forget my warning!"
Wei Yu glanced at Shen Yaoyao dismissively, scoffing without responding.
Having said that, Shen Yaoyao then followed upstairs.
...
Wei Yu returned ho, and on the way back, Ji Da called, saying he was discharged from the hospital and even harshly scolded Wei Yu over the phone.
The reason being, during Ji Da’s hospitalization, Wei Yu only visited once, and that one ti almost made him angry to the point of death.
Ji Da ordered Wei Yu to bring An Ruoxi to see him, as he had so words for Wei Yu.
He had thought about it, and this ti with the Palace Master suddenly returning to the country, he was bound to make so moves, but he couldn’t let the Wei family or Wei Yu get involved!
Wei Yu had always wanted Ji Da to return to the Capital City, but Ji Da was reluctant and wouldn’t say what he was doing in Shanghai! If he cared about his romantic entanglents, he didn’t believe it; he always felt like the Old Master was hiding sothing from him.
Wei Yu returned to the villa, and seeing An Ruoxi reading in the living room, he was a bit surprised, "You’re reading?"
An Ruoxi glanced up at him, ignored him, and continued reading.
Seeing that she didn’t speak, Wei Yu patiently continued, "The Old Master called saying he wants to see you. Once you pass him, we can begin the act."
Act?
An Ruoxi, a bit puzzled, blurted out, "What act?"
"No hearing issues, huh," Wei Yu lazily replied, eyes still on the financial paper in his hand.
"What act?" Ignoring his malicious sarcasm, unwilling to quarrel with him, she realized that when it ca to quarreling, she was always the weaker one.
She was facing an inhumane, blood-sucking capitalist, as Xiao ng would say, the elite at the top of the gold pyramid, the apex of the food chain, and clashing with him was undoubtedly futile.
"At certain events, I’ll need you to accompany , and if necessary..." His words paused deliberately, leaving it ambiguous whether An Ruoxi was imagining it or if he intentionally spoke ambiguously, he glanced over An Ruoxi, "If necessary, we may need to appear quite intimate."
Intimate?
Intimate, my foot!
Why not hire an actress!
Who knew what he might do to her in public?!
Seeing her anxious, worried, yet fearful expression constantly change, Wei Yu’s originally stuffy mood inexplicably improved a lot. The latter part of his sentence was added on purpose. With his status, there was no need for him to overtly clarify with An Ruoxi, just that...
He made a phone call to his secretary, spreading so ambiguous rumors, and before long, paparazzi would be lurking on their way to the Old Mansion.
"Why are you still standing there? Go and get ready."
An Ruoxi gracefully spun around, her slender fingers gently stroked her cheek, lips lightly parting, "I’m naturally beautiful, don’t need that gaudy makeup to doll up intentionally."
