"Of course." He looked at the woman in front of him and continued, "But this time, you're a smart person to choose to cooperate with me."
"What else can I do? Do you think I'd still choose that useless Gong Mingrui? Thinking about it, it's really pitiful for him to die like this. "
Gu Yanran also raised her glass and clinked glasses with Su Xiaorou. She smiled proudly. Coupled with their hot bodies, they attracted a few men to walk towards them.
"Hello, Max." The man named Max took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Su Xiaorou and Gu Yanran. "You two ladies look a little unfamiliar."
The blond and blue-eyed Max's gaze was reluctant to leave Su Xiaorou and Gu Yanran.
It was something he was looking forward to if he could strike up a conversation with either of them today.
"Unfamiliar?" Su Xiaorou's lips curled into an official smile. There were really few people in Country C who were unfamiliar with her.
"I just came back from Country A. I don't know all the people in the upper-class circle here. Please forgive me, Miss." Max said awkwardly in front of her.
He was a bespectacled young man who looked gentle and refined, which was not much different from what he said.
"Please forgive me, Miss Su. This brother of mine has indeed just returned from abroad. That's why he said such a thing when he saw the two beauties today."
Another man next to Max who looked a little sloppy explained for him.
"Oh? So you know me. " Su Xiaorou raised her eyebrows and looked at the man next to Max. She teased Max.
"Who wouldn't know the daughter of the business tycoon Su Jiancheng?" The man smiled with a flattering look on his face. He then introduced himself, "Miss Su, nice to meet you. You can call me Charles."
When she heard the name Charles, Su Xiaorou felt a little familiar.
"I seem to have heard of you somewhere?"
"Miss Su, you may have forgotten that I went to your company with my father last time to discuss cooperation."
When Charles said this, Su Xiaorou suddenly had an impression.
It was just that when Charles and his son went to talk about cooperation, they did not succeed.
"It's you. Nice to meet you." Su Xiaorou smiled and did not show any look of contempt in front of the man.
She was famous for being an expert in business and could get along well with anyone. Every time her father, Su Jiancheng, went out to discuss business cooperation, he would bring her along. As long as she was there, the success rate was more than 90%.
Moreover, many men in the circle regarded her as their dream lover. She had all the right looks, figure, and abilities. She was also cultured and had a scholarly temperament.
From the year she graduated from college to the present, many people were scrambling to get to know her. More people thought that if they could get married to the Su Family, with a good wife like Su Xiaorou, their careers would definitely skyrocket.
It's a pity that Su Xiaorou has always had a high standard. It's said that she has only been in love once since she went to college. Unfortunately, the man died of a terminal illness, and she has never been in love again. Her heart is only on her work.
Because of this, Su Xiaorou fell into the reputation of being devoted.
At this moment, Gu Yanran, who was standing next to Su Xiaorou, seemed a little embarrassed. It seemed that Max and Charles in front of her were surrounding Su Xiaorou, and she had long been left aside.
Looking at these people from the upper class, Gu Yanran's hands behind her silently clenched.
If her family didn't have an accident, she would also belong to this year.
She used to want to live a plain life, but after working in the milk tea shop for so long, she was ordered around. Even in the face of Gong Mingrui's threat, she had no ability to resist.
Even with Gu Wan's help, she didn't have any feelings for Gu Wan. What she had done was just superficial.
She thought that the reason why Gu Wan did this was just to show a sense of superiority in front of her.
Wasn't Gu Wan punishing her in disguise? She kept saying that she would find a job for her, but it was just a small shop in Souilly. It was ridiculous.
"By the way, let me introduce you. This is my friend, Gu Yanran."
Just when Gu Yanran lowered her head and was immersed in her thoughts, she was suddenly pulled back to reality by Su Xiaorou's voice.
"Ah, nice to meet you!"
Gu Yanran greeted the two men in front of her awkwardly.
She thought that Su Xiaorou wouldn't introduce her. For a moment, Gu Yanran felt a little grateful to Su Xiaorou. She was grateful that Su Xiaorou didn't ignore her at this time.
"Miss Gu, you are really a beauty with both face and temperament. May I know which family you are from?"
Charles had always been a straightforward person. In his opinion, everyone who appeared at the charity banquet today was either rich or powerful. Therefore, he was the only one who consciously asked Gu Yanran about it.
Hearing his question, Gu Yanran was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Seeing that Gu Yanran was at a loss, Su Xiaorou immediately introduced, "Actually, she is my assistant and my good friend."
After Su Xiaorou finished speaking, Gu Yanran cast a grateful look at Su Xiaorou.
Su Xiaorou didn't say much. She just nodded at Gu Yanran and gave her a comforting look.
At the same time, Gu Yanran was even more convinced that Su Xiaorou really treated her as a sister, and that she wasn't simply using her or cooperating with her.
"Oh, it turns out that you are Miss Su's assistant. We are fated to meet you two at the same time today. Let's have a drink."
Charles took the initiative to raise his glass and shake it. Everyone also clinked their glasses and drank.
Meanwhile, Gu Wan had been a little unhappy since she met Su Xiaorou.
Gong Mohan could also feel that there was something wrong with Gu Wan. However, at this moment, Gong Mohan didn't seem to intend to explain anything in front of Gu Wan.
After a long time, the charity banquet was finally over.
Gong Mohan drove Gu Wan back to the hotel.
Gong Mohan originally had a house here. However, he hadn't lived here before, and the style of this house was what she liked.
Gong Mohan was afraid that Gu Wan would be unhappy if she knew about this. In addition, Gu Wan was coming this time. Therefore, Gong Mohan asked people to redecorate the house to the style that Gu Wan liked. The two of them could only stay in the hotel for the time being.
Because of the special location, Gong Mohan didn't want to buy a new house.
However, Gu Wan didn't know about these things. Gu Wan even thought that Gong Mohan was just here on a business trip.
"Wan Wan, you haven't eaten well tonight. Why don't I take you to eat something?"
In the car, Gong Mohan asked in front of Gu Wan warmly.
However, Gu Wan just turned her head out of the car window and shook her head. She didn't respond to Gong Mohan's words.
As soon as he saw Gu Wan's state, Gong Mohan knew that she was throwing a tantrum again.
"Wan Wan, don't be angry."
Gong Mohan reached out and shook Gu Wan's arm, coaxing her patiently.
However, from Gong Mohan's tone, Gu Wan didn't hear the explanation she wanted. This made Gu Wan feel insecure.
What was Gong Mohan hiding from her? Who was Su Xiaorou to him?
"I'm not angry. I'm just a little tired. I'll rest for a while."
After saying this, Gu Wan closed her eyes slightly and pretended to sleep. In fact, she wasn't sleepy at all.
Seeing Gu Wan's expression, Gong Mohan just sighed helplessly.
It was a long story, and he didn't know where to start.
Moreover, he didn't expect to meet her at the charity dinner, the woman he hadn't seen for more than ten years.
He thought that the two of them would run a company together and create their own brand.
However, he didn't expect that when she learned that he had congenital heart disease, she chose to leave alone.
After that, he became taciturn and rarely trusted others. Even in the most intimate of relationships, he would still maintain his rationality.
When it came to knowing Su Xiaorou, it was before Mo Xuerong.
It was because Mo Xuerong's simple temperament was completely different from Su Xiaorou's.
Su Xiaorou stood by his side and was suitable for him to work hand in hand. Mo Xuerong was a little girl who needed someone to take care of her in all aspects.
At that time, after spending a long time with Mo Xuerong, he had a feeling that he wanted to learn how to take care of others. Because Su Xiaorou never needed his care.
Unfortunately, both of them chose to leave him in the end.
It was only later that he met Gu Wan. To Gong Mohan, Gu Wan was a very special person. She wasn't like Su Xiaorou, who was independent and didn't need anyone to take care of her, nor was she like Mo Xuerong, who couldn't do anything well.
When he needed her care, Gu Wan could understand him very well without him saying anything. She was gentle, considerate, and considerate.
When she was naughty and cute, she was like a child. When she needed someone to take care of her, she couldn't even open a bottle of mineral water.
It was such a woman that he couldn't leave. Even though the two of them were only in a contract relationship, he couldn't bear to lose Gu Wan now. The two of them had experienced too many things. Life and death parting could be considered a common occurrence.
So when he suddenly faced Gu Wan's anger today, Gong Mohan didn't know how to explain.
He thought that Gu Wan should understand him. He showed such a cold attitude in front of Su Xiaorou. Didn't Gu Wan understand his feelings for her?
After returning to the hotel, the two of them didn't have any communication.
After washing up, Gu Wan directly lay on the bed and prepared to sleep.
