“Look, I’m just listening to the gossip outside.”
Su Ni smiled awkwardly and said, “Besides, we have worked very hard now. Let’s rest.”
“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I have some business to attend to in the study. Take a break first. Come with me tonight.”
Gu Zechen pulled the quilt for Su Ni, but Su Ni hid for a moment and listened to Gu Zechen honestly.
“Where are you going?”
Su Ni asked curiously.
“Madam Su Lai invited us to attend a company dinner tonight.”
Gu Zechen said.
“Banquet?”
Su Ni was stunned. Recently, Madam Su Lai had made quite a lot of moves. Not to mention, she had snatched several clients from Gu Corp in a row, forcing Gu Zechen into a dead end, which was enough for both families to have a grudge.
Gu Zechen frowned and didn’t say anything else. “Let’s go over tonight.”
“Could it be the Hongmen Banquet?”
Su Ni was a little worried. Gu Zechen could no longer endure the torment in his current situation.
“Don’t worry about that.”
From the way Gu Zechen looked, he was obviously confident. If he said that he was not confident, Su Ni did not ask too much.
She should consider what to wear at the party.
Gu Zechen was busy while Su Ni flipped her wardrobe upside down. However, when she remembered the scar on her back, she felt a little more disappointed.
There were still quite a few days before the doctor’s appointment, but the weather was getting hotter. If she continued to wear it like this, she would always feel suspicious.
In the end, Su Ni picked up a pink lace gown that could perfectly cover the scar. The thin material didn’t look so sudden.
When Gu Zechen came in again, Su Ni had already painted her makeup. Was Gu Zechen ready? Su Ni had already gotten up.
She stepped forward to grab Gu Zechen’s arm and smiled gently.
Gu Zechen stayed on Su Ni’s face for two more seconds, and his face was full of self-blame. “Don’t worry, I will repair the scar on your back before it gets hot.”
“No rush, let’s go first.”
Su Ni forced a smile, not wanting to worry Gu Zechen.
What’s more, as long as Gu Zechen wasn’t afraid and didn’t mind himself.
Madam Su Lai’s party was in this company. On the way, they listened to what Gu Zechen meant. Su Raffles had the intention of opening up a territory in China. The purpose of this banquet was to let the Nancheng city see the strength of Su Lai’s company.
Su Ni couldn’t help but guess, “Madam Su Lai is so flirtatious. I’m afraid she has a plan long ago.”
She even thought about whether Xu Wan’s return was related to Madam Su Lai. However, Su Ni did not say these words.
Gu Zechen nodded with a serious expression on his gentle face. “Madam Su Rai has a lot of ambition. She has been doing acquisition things for many years. This time, she must have her purpose.”
Su Ni nodded and couldn’t help but feel worried.
Gu Zechen added, “I heard that Madam Su Lai’s gaze has been fixed on the capital. Maybe we will meet again when we go to the capital.”
Su Ni heard this and didn’t think it was a happy meeting. From Gu Zechen’s expression, it was obvious that Madam Su Lai was not a pushover.
At the banquet.
The arrival of the Gu Zechen duo attracted a lot of attention, but there were very few who came to greet them. In the end, only Ruan Yichen walked directly to them and raised a glass in front of everyone.
“Mr. Gu, Mr. Su, long time no see.”
Ruan Yichen smiled.
Gu Zechen nodded and replied lightly. When he looked over, he started to look around and pretended to chat.
Gu Zechen has never been treated like this before, but he also understands why. His mind is still calm, his expression does not change, and he can’t see any extra emotions.
Ruan Yichen followed the two of them and smiled, “I heard that there have been quite a lot of activity in Nancheng city recently, and even the Gu Corp is involved. I think these people are watching and watching. Now that Madam Su is like the sun, I can understand.”
“Why is Mr. Ruan not afraid?”
Gu Zechen asked.
“Haha.”
He laughed twice, his eyes inadvertently fell on Su Ni, and quickly moved away, “I’m not afraid. What’s there to worry about?”
Su Ni looked at Gu Zechen and didn’t smile. She chatted with Ruan Yichen for a while, so she planned to walk around.
This Ruan Yichen was not a good person. She remembered clearly that no one dared to come over at a time like this. Only he dared to come over, so she probably wouldn’t have any good intentions.
Su Ni wasn’t there, so the conversation between the two men became much sharper. Gu Zechen said, “I heard that J. K is planning to work with Su Lai recently. I’m afraid that I’m here to find out the truth.”
“Mr. Gu’s news is quite good.”
Ruan Yichen did not deny it, and there was still a faint smile on his face. His gaze followed Gu Zechen from start to end on Su Ni. He wore a pink dress, which was the brightest and most conservative among the Yingying Swallow.
“The wound on her body, is it okay?”
Ruan Yichen suddenly asked.
Gu Zechen immediately became alert and stared coldly at Ruan Yichen, forcing him to look away.
Ruan Yichen seemed to have just reacted, and immediately smiled and explained, “Mr. Gu, don’t misunderstand, I just care.”
“In my opinion, Mr. Ruan’s news is better, but Su Ni is very good. I don’t have to worry about Mr. Ruan.”
Gu Zechen said coldly.
Ruan Yichen smiled and couldn’t help but glance at Su Ni again.
As the host of the banquet, Madam Su Lai quickly appeared and interrupted their conversation.
Xu Wan was also among the ranks.
Su Ni saw her at a glance. It seemed like she hadn’t seen her for a few months, but she was a little smoother.
From what Gu Zechen had said last time, Xu Wan probably hadn’t appeared for a long time. Now that she was standing beside Madam Su Lai and appearing in such a high-profile position, it was probably not simple.
Xu Wan clearly saw Su Ni but her eyes shifted to her as if she hadn’t seen her.
Gu Zechen teased Ruan Yichen, “Mr. Ruan has always had a deep friendship with Xu Wan. Now that men and unmarried women are not married, it is a good opportunity. Perhaps it could facilitate your cooperation with Madam Su Lai.
“To talk about feelings, I can’t compare to Mr. Gu. Moreover, Wan’er had always been in love with President Gu. If Su Ni hadn’t appeared, it was likely that you would have to work with Madam Su Lai now, Mr. Gu.
Ruan Yichen returned Gu Zechen’s words without hesitation.
Gu Zechen didn’t take advantage of him, so he didn’t answer. He leaned to the side and grabbed Su Ni’s hand.
Ruan Yichen looked at it with a slight smile on his face. Madam Su Lai had already said a welcoming speech, then she handed the home to Xu Wan.
