Chapter 581: Silence

riving, “I remember we applied for our driver’s licenses together back in college.” 。"If you're short on money, I can lend you some. Go check out cars first and see what styles you like." 。Now that yo...Xiao Cai was speechless. Seeing Gu Shao walk in from the main entrance of the venue, she hurriedly told Mr. Wang: "You'd better say less. Later, you should help Gu Shao block some drinks."

Speaking too much, you don't even know how you'll die.

Gu Ruan arrived just in time, catching the last speech of the conference.

Xiao Cai had made two preparations. If Shao Gu was really too late, he could only bite the bullet and take his place. When Shao Gu arrived, he was overjoyed and hurriedly passed him the manuscript.

By mid-May, when Xiao Cai handed in his manuscript to Gu Ruandong, though their hands were separated by only a few centimeters, a chill ran through Xiao Cai. He felt the coldness of Gu Ruandong's fingers.

Gu Ruandong's shirt also had slight wrinkles on the back, but he didn't mind. He walked straight to the stage with his manuscript in hand.

As the host, he took to the stage and delivered a speech. The audience fell silent.

At first, he didn't use a script. Instead, he freely improvised, talking about his vision and plans for the real estate industry. But as he spoke, he suddenly stumbled.

A heavy silence fell. He looked at the man on stage, inexplicably. Little Cai was both anxious and worried; this was Gu Shao's first time experiencing such a thing.

Just then, Gu Ruandong on stage turned his face slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then gathered his energy to turn back, continuing the speech that had been interrupted.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly afterwards. He didn't need a script and finished his speech successfully.

Apart from that brief moment of hesitation and awkward silence on stage earlier, everything else went smoothly.

The conference ended with a banquet, where he attended with ease, chatting and laughing with those real estate tycoons, drinking and making merry. No matter where he stood, he quickly became the center of attention.

However, he was still quite restrained. Every time someone offered him a toast, he would just take a symbolic sip.

As a courtesy. There was also a real estate tycoon who offered him a cigarette, but he waved his hand and said, "Sorry, I quit."

The dinner lasted until 12 o'clock at night before it ended.

Xiao Cai and Wang Zong were responsible for sending all the participants away before they returned. The hotel where they stayed was upstairs. Gu Ruandong stood by the elevator door waiting for them. At this time, he had removed his sociable face from earlier and looked a little tired.

Xiao Cai didn't dare to speak, he pressed the elevator and stood quietly behind her.

Mr. Wang twisted his neck: "I'm so tired, this kind of activity isn't suitable for me to attend. Please don't invite me next time."

Gu Ruan Dong and Xiao Cai both ignored him, staring blankly at the numbers flickering on the elevator.

The elevator arrived, and after riding it upstairs, Gu Ruandong turned to Xiao Cai and said, "Send me tomorrow's schedule."

"Okay, Young Master Gu."

"Mr. Wang walked up and said, 'Are you guys staying here tomorrow I'm going back to Senzhou. My wife's birthday, I have to go back.'"

Mr. Wang originally wanted to make some casual conversation, but seeing that Gu Ruandong and Xiao Cai were both uninterested in talking, he found it boring and kept silent.

Counting it up, Gu Ruandong had been awake for two days and one night, practically flying back and forth. Now his body felt weary, but his mind was exceptionally clear, unable to sleep.

I should drink more in the evening, at least until I'm drunk so I can sleep for a while longer. But I can't stand the smell of smoke all over my body.

The next morning, Mr. Wang returned to Senzhou and he and Xiao Cai prepared to return to Beijing.

The Xu family affair continues to ferment. It was originally censored on public platforms and no one dared to discuss it, but Xu Zhao happens to be a big star who has always maintained an image of having a powerful and mysterious background. Therefore, with this mysterious background now revealed to the public, the discussion is heating up.

Check Xu's family, belonging to...

Investigate one, involve a string, dig a pit, the Xu family's gang, relevant people and businesses, none are spared, it is a true earthquake.

Although the Gu Group has, under Gu Ruandong's leadership, been free from the Xu family's protection and economic dealings in recent years, it has still been affected, especially after Gu Ruandong saved Xu Zhao. This act has raised suspicions.

Gu Ruantong's identity was inevitably exposed.

Nowaday netizens are like Sherlock Holmes, they can track down information about your ancestors through generations.

Soon, fans of Lu Yaoyao and Xu Zhao compared the men. The man who sent Lu Yaoyao home late at night with the man who saved Xu Zhao yesterday turned out to be the same person—the back identical.

Xu Zhao was still at the Gu family and saw this news.

Though she was in the entertainment industry, she was too busy to watch all the entertainment news, so she hadn't seen the photos of Gu Ruandong sending Lu Yaoyao home before this.

It also brought to mind a man's figure glimpsed in Lu Yaoyao's room one morning. If it wasn't Gu Ruandong, who else could it have been

I see!

Gu Ruandong returned to his home in Beijing and saw that Xu Zhao hadn't left the Gu family yet. He just frowned, remained silent, and went to his study to find his father.

Left Xiao Cai in the living room, coincidentally with Xu Zhao.

Xiao Cai and Xu Zhao are also very familiar with each other, after all, they have cooperated many times before.

Xu Zhao passed the photo of Gu Ruan Dong sending Lu Yao Yao home that he saw online to Xiao Cai for confirmation: "How long have your Young Master Gu and Lu Yao Yao been together"

This is a declarative sentence, not an interrogative one.

This photo, though just a back view, shows Lu YaoYao wearing his jacket. His hand keeps gently resting on her back, protecting her.

In Xu Zhao's eyes, Gu Ruantong wasn't a gentleman at all. If he didn't care about someone, he wouldn't do this kind of thing.

Xiao Cai answered truthfully: "For a while now."

Xu Zhao glanced at the photo repeatedly, a smirk playing on his lips as he said, "I didn't expect Young Master Gu to have a liking for this kind."

Who said it wasn't so, they are completely different worlds of people. One is a greenhouse flower, and the other is a grey wolf from the wild. Before this, if you had told Xiao Cai that Gu Shao liked someone like this, he wouldn't have believed it even if his life depended on it.

Xu Zhao glanced at the closed study not far away, got up and said

“I'm home. Tell Gu Shao that I appreciate him bailing me out yesterday. And about the Xu family, don't ask for his help. He can't do anything and you don't want to get involved.”

"I give you this."

Xiao Cai hurried out, accompanying the driver to send Xu Zhao back to the Xu family. There should be fewer media outlets stationed today.

In Gu's study, Gu Ruandong sat in the chair opposite his father's desk, keeping his head down and turning his phone over and over in his hand, his eyes cold and silent.

The phone screen remained on the WeChat interface, and Lu YaoYao was still at the top.

Yesterday, he sent her a message: The meeting ended well.

This morning, he still kept it simple: going back to Beijing today.

I still report my itinerary to her every day.

She said it was over, he didn't want it to be over.

Mr. Gu glanced at the car leaving the yard outside the window and asked, "Can you help with the Xu family's matter"

Mr. Gu was very polite to him, knowing that he was not as capable as him and hoping he could solve the problem.

Only then did Gu Ruandong put down his phone and said directly, "There's no way."

Very direct, and cold-blooded.

Every member of the Xu family's gang is looking out for themselves, nobody would dare to rush forward and surrender.

"From now on, Xu Shao and her mother, we will take care of them as much as we can." Gu's father continued, "We can't forget the kindness they've shown us." froze, knowing that Shu Xiaohua's words were equivalent to saying: "I saw a ghost." 。。"That's creepy, right"The uncle just now looked exactly like my dad." 。"Have you ever seen your father""I've see...
