The curtains were drawn, and the room was dark.
A man was sitting on a leather sofa with his legs crossed and his body swaying slightly. His eyes were fixed on the two women in front of him. One of them was crying, and the other was clenching her fists with no expression on her face. They were Xu Biying's best friends, Xie Lanlan and Xu Biying.
A few muscular men in black put their hands behind their backs and looked at them coldly.
"When do you plan to pay back the money?" Nangong Aotian finally asked slowly.
"I don't have that much money. Please spare me!" Xie Lanlan was overcome with grief and sobbed violently. Her tears mixed with the non-waterproof mascara and slid down from the foundation, leaving two wet stains, causing Nangong Aotian's face to twitch.
How did he fall for this thing in the first place?
Xu Biying gritted her teeth. "Shouldn't you look for Ruan Qiuqiu?"
"Look for her?" Nangong Aotian was not angry. Instead, she laughed. "She's in cahoots with the Jiacheng boss. Aren't you asking for trouble if you want me to blackmail her?"
"How is that possible!"
Xu Biying boasted that she knew Ruan Qiuqiu very well.
A woman like her could be summed up with vulgar makeup. If she had the ability, she would have already hooked up with a better man than Cheng Juan. Why would she waste her time with someone like Cheng Juan, who was just waiting for death to come?
Moreover, if Ruan Qiuqiu was really with the Jiacheng boss, why didn't she divorce Cheng Jun? This obviously didn't make sense.
Xu Biying was unwilling to accept this. During this period, she had tried all ways to repair her relationship with Gu You, but there seemed to be a thick barrier between them that prevented Xu Biying from touching him. She thought that when the Jiacheng suffered a heavy blow and Gu You was depressed, she would have another chance to cherish it.
It was like being reborn. Give her another chance. This time, she would definitely be loyal to Gu You.
Her stubborn look made Nangong Aotian, who was used to seeing flirtatious beauties, feel a little moved.
"You don't have to pay me back."
A pair of black leather shoes stood on the ground and took a few steps forward before finally stopping in front of Xu Biying.
The man lifted her chin with his fingertips, his eyes cruel: "Use your body to pay for it."
Her close friend's face turned pale: "Ao Tian! I thought you … "
"Shut up. I've long lost interest in a withered woman like you. "
With a look from him, the black-clothed man beside him covered Xie Lanlan's mouth and dragged her out, leaving Xu Biying trembling alone.
Even though Xu Biying was brave, her mind went blank in the face of such a scene. Nangong Aotian's playful voice came from above her head, "I've never been stingy with women. House, car, jewelry, whatever you want, I'll give you. "
"I …"
"Boom!"
The door was suddenly slammed. The other two brawny men looked at each other and immediately walked to the door. Through the peephole, they wanted to see which blind person wanted to court death. In the next second, there was a loud crash, and the door was slammed open, hitting one of the brawny men hard.
A figure rushed in, and without waiting for Nangong Aotian to shout, he immediately knocked the two of them to the ground.
Xu Biying really cried this time: "Brother You!"
"Who are you!" Nangong Aotian was so angry that his face turned green, but he did not dare to attack.
Gu You wiped the blood off his hands, grabbed Xu Biying, and coldly glanced at Nangong Aotian: "If there's a second time, I won't go easy on you!"
After that, he pulled Xu Biying and left.
Along the way, Xu Biying's heart was beating like a drum, and she was overjoyed. She cried and laughed, and did not even bother to wipe her tears.
Gu You was sitting in the driver's seat. When he received the news, he was in a hurry and did not even have time to change his suit. Originally, he had been invited to the Jiacheng annual meeting. Now, his main task was to send Xu Biying home safely.
Xu Biying sat in the backseat, wrapped in Gu You's jacket, and shrank into a ball miserably.
Her eyes were shining as she stared at Gu You: "Brother You … If it weren't for you today …"
"Biying."
Gu You pursed his lips, and his expression was much more serious than usual. He gripped the steering wheel tightly and tried to calm his tone: "Why are you entangled with them?"
"I … I was innocently implicated!" Xu Biying immediately felt wronged and her eyes reddened. "My best friend got me into trouble."
"…"
His silence made her feel uneasy. It also made Xu Biying suddenly realize why Gu You was here. How did he know?
She suddenly became nervous: "Brother You …"
"Don't try to do something you shouldn't do." His lips moved, but he didn't say anything else. He only took a deep breath. "This is my advice as your brother."
The word 'brother' was like a needle stabbing Xu Biying's heart, and she almost suffocated.
The two of them were silent the whole way.
When they arrived at the door, Xu Biying trembled and didn't want to get out. Gu You helped her out of the car, unlocked the door with Xu Biying's key, and let her sit on the sofa.
Xu Biying lowered her head and didn't say anything. Gu You poured her a glass of water, but she said softly, "Can you sit with me for a while? I'm really scared today …"
Gu You glanced at the time. There were still more than ten minutes before the annual meeting started. They would be late anyway.
He sat on the other sofa.
Xu Biying's eyes flickered. An inexplicable courage supported her, making her think of the "medicine" she had stored in the cabinet for a long time … She thought that perhaps sometimes she had to cut off all means of retreat in order to walk down this path with more determination.
Ruan Qiuqiu was going to attend the annual meeting today. During the meeting, Tu Nan would introduce Ruan Qiuqiu's achievements to shut everyone up.
Ruan Qiuqiu was dressed very simply. She put on light makeup, wore a small black dress, and wrapped a thick and warm coat. The real Boss Cheng was still at home playing on the computer, looking like an outsider.
For a moment, she didn't know if she should be envious or admire Tu Nan's courage.
The annual meeting was held in an expensive hotel.
As soon as Ruan Qiuqiu appeared, although she was dressed very simply, she was still like a spotlight, attracting a lot of people's attention wherever she went. She politely greeted a group of people she didn't know. Fu Zicheng and his Jiao Fan stood by the side and poured wine. They stole a few glances at Ruan Qiuqiu and said, "Sister-in-law is the prettiest."
"Look at how useless the two of you are. Can't you take the initiative to find a partner?" Tu Nan took a glass of champagne and mocked them.
"You speak as if you have one. Moss is thicker than the city walls. "
Tu Nan said, "Get lost."
"The Jiao Fan is different. He cares about old times."
The Jiao Fan blushed. "Don't say anymore."
Although they said that, they didn't want to go up and greet Ruan Qiuqiu. They didn't want others to gossip. Ruan Qiuqiu nodded and smiled at them from afar. She was graceful and lovely. Their hearts rippled, and they instantly fell into a beautiful reverie of having a wife.
Elder Meng was dressed very well today. Recently, his wife was pregnant with her second child. He didn't seem tired at all, and his words were full of love for his wife and children. Ruan Qiuqiu was very envious.
A good marriage could change two people. Elder Meng and his wife must be very happy.
"Last night, I dreamed that a wild man was interested in my wife. I was so scared that I broke out in cold sweat! But I can't tell my wife. Do you know why? "
Ruan Qiuqiu subconsciously followed his question and asked, "Why?"
Elder Meng snapped his fingers. "Your question is very meaningful. Because it involves a comic called 'Nana'. Nana also dreamed that her boyfriend cheated on her, and then she was really cheated on … "
"Do you want to eat sushi?" Ruan Qiuqiu chose to interrupt his magical train of thought.
"Okay, okay."
Elder Meng picked up a few pieces of tuna sushi and suddenly asked mysteriously, "Then do you know which anime characters like to eat sushi …"
Ruan Qiuqiu said, "Ah, someone seems to be calling me!"
Ruan Qiuqiu finally got rid of Elder Meng's spell. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Elder Meng usually had a good personality, but he had a problem. Every time he talked about anime, it was no surprise that he would talk about anime. It was said that he met his wife at an anime convention. Their hobbies were surprisingly the same. Occasionally, they quarreled because they didn't get along. It could be said that they were very cute.
In about ten minutes, Tu Nan would go on stage to host the annual party. Ruan Qiuqiu thought that she would go on stage later, so she quickly put down her plate and planned to reapply her lipstick.
After Ruan Qiuqiu finished reapplying her lipstick, she came out of the bathroom and bumped into Gu You.
He looked a little strange. His white shirt was wrinkled, and his face was red. He stood in front of the public sink and splashed water on his face. He lowered the temperature over and over again to calm himself down.
Ruan Qiuqiu was a little surprised. "Gu You, what's wrong with you?"
Gu You was in a rare panic. He awkwardly wiped the water on his face and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't come close to me! I think I drank medicine by mistake! "
He supported himself with one hand on the sink. His upper body was soaked, but his skin was red. Even his eyes were red.
Ruan Qiuqiu had read a lot of novels. When she remembered that Gu You was the male protagonist of the novel, she immediately understood.
"Don't tell me you're under an aphrodisiac …"
"Shh!"
Gu You endured the pain and said, "I only realized that something was wrong when I got here. I can't go to the hospital like this. Just pretend that you didn't see it. Hurry up and leave! "
Under his confused gaze, Ruan Qiuqiu looked around.
Ruan Qiuqiu thought that it was strange. Where was the female protagonist of the antidote? Could she be waiting in a small room?
Looking at Gu You's pained expression, Ruan Qiuqiu remembered that he had to make an appearance in Jiacheng today. He couldn't embarrass himself. The situation at the moment was indeed a little bad.
Ruan Qiuqiu had an idea.
She said calmly, "Brother! Wait for me here! I have a way! "
Gu You, "???"
