Lu Ziying said the last word and left without looking back.
Gu Jingchen looked at her back silently, but there was nothing he could do.
If someone else had talked to him with the same attitude as Lu Ziying just now, I'm afraid he would have no idea how he died.
However, she is Lu Ziting's sister.
No matter how dissatisfied he was, he couldn't say anything more than a warning.
Gu Jingchen's mind was filled with the last harsh words that Lu Ziying had just left, and his heart was clenching uncontrollably.
substitute?
No.
He didn't regard anyone as An An's substitute.
No one can be An An's substitute.
But...where is An An?
He had been looking for her for so long, but couldn't find any trace...
But I still stubbornly refused to believe that she really disappeared.
Gu Jingchen's chest felt tight, so he grabbed a glass of wine and walked towards the rest area in the distance.
On the other side——
Su An also brought a glass of wine by herself and stood silently in the corner.
Because of what happened to Liang Dong before, many people cast curious glances at her, but they didn't take it too seriously and stepped forward.
The person who came to say hello was very polite to her and only asked her to help convey to Gu Jingchen that we could cooperate if there was an opportunity in the future.
Su An took out her phone and looked at the time, frowning slightly.
She has been gone for almost ten minutes...
Are Gu Jingchen and Lu Ziying still chatting?
Lu Ziying's temper now is no better than before. If it really gets louder, it will be of no benefit to anyone...
What's more, the current identity of "Xia Xiaomo" has nothing to do with Gu Jingchen!
What if another rumor spreads, causing Gu Jingchen to avoid her even more?
Su An thought and couldn't help but glance a few times in the direction he left just now.
But through the crowd, she didn't see Gu Jingchen or Lu Ziying!
Have they finished talking?
Where did Gu Jingchen go?
Su An's eyes flickered for a moment, and he was thinking about looking for it, but at this moment——
"Ms. Xia, can we talk alone?"
A figure suddenly stopped in front of Su An.
It was Lu Ziying who was talking to Gu Jingchen just now!
Su An paused in her steps, her whole body's nerves tightened unconsciously, and she subconsciously became on guard.
After a two-second pause, she declined lightly and said, "Mr. Lu, I am Mr. Gu's assistant. The two of us are talking alone. I'm afraid..."
"There's nothing inappropriate. What I'm talking to you about is not business. Come with me."
Lu Ziying didn't give Su An a chance to refuse. As she spoke, she turned and walked towards the corner of the banquet hall.
Su An had no choice but to follow.
The two walked out one after the other.
Just outside the corner is a secluded corridor. Unless someone wants to go to the bathroom at the end of the corridor, they will not pass by here.
Lu Ziying stood lazily against the wall, folding her hands across her chest and looking at the person in front of her.
Su An stood up straight, lowered his eyes slightly, and stared at the toes of his shoes.
The air is a little quiet.
The next second——
"Is your name really Xia Xiaomo?"
Lu Ziying asked.
"yes."
Su An answered simply.
After all, it had been a while since she came back, and she had been able to accept and get used to the name "Xia Xiaomo" in her heart.
Thinking about it, she deliberately made a puzzled look, as if she didn't understand why Lu Ziying asked this.
Lu Ziying's eyes were filled with suspicion. She glanced up and down at the person in front of her, feeling a lingering sense of familiarity...
The two people faced each other silently.
Su An knew that she might have some suspicions, so she quickly said, "Mr. Lu called me out just to ask me this?"
"What? Are you impatient?"
Lu Ziying raised her eyebrows and said, suddenly approaching Su An and warning in a deep voice, "I don't care who you are, it's best not to have any thoughts about Gu Jingchen! Otherwise... don't blame me for not warning you!"
Su An pursed her lips slightly and said nothing.
Lu Ziying changed the subject again and continued to warn, "Also, don't think that he cares about you just because he is by his side. If you are a smart person, you have heard it just now. You and him
The person in my heart is very similar. Even if he gives you any preferential treatment, it is just because you have benefited from that person..."
She spoke aggressively in every word, trying to cover up her inner uneasiness, and even wanted to strangle the possibility of two people being together in the cradle!
Su An naturally understood what she meant.
However, this is no longer important.
If Gu Jingchen kept her because she had some shadow of the past, then it would be a good thing for her.
It's much easier to get close to him.
It’s just Lu Ziying…
Su An was a little annoyed as to why she didn't walk faster in the cemetery that day.
If Lu Ziying hadn't seen her back, she wouldn't have reacted so much even if she felt familiar...
Thinking about it, Su An still deliberately acted as if nothing had happened, and said in a respectful tone, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I don't understand what you are talking about. I can't interfere with your and Mr. Gu's private affairs.
I am just a person who is lucky enough to get the opportunity to work beside Mr. Gu. To put it more bluntly, he is just making a living. Please don’t embarrass me. In order not to lose this job, of course I will take care of him.
Own."
Lu Ziying locked her eyes tightly on the person in front of her with disdain in her heart.
Oh……
To avoid losing your job?
If she really had that intention and climbed directly to the position of the CEO's wife, wouldn't she still be able to lose her job?
This woman, who seems so quiet, is actually not that easy to deal with!
Moreover, even when she said those words just now, she still had that calm and gentle temperament about her.
She couldn't help but think of the scene when they were chatting with Su An...
Why is this?
Did she really think too much?
Just as Lu Ziying was thinking about it, she saw Su An suddenly take a step back.
"Mr. Lu, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."
After saying that, Su An planned to turn around and leave.
But he just took a step——
"Wait a moment!"
Lu Ziying suddenly spoke up, turned around and stopped in front of Su An.
She was still a little unwilling, and said in a hurried tone, "I have one last question. The day I saw you in the cemetery, who were you going to see?"
Su An didn't expect that she would bring up this topic again, and she immediately became defensive.
A plan quickly formed in my heart.
Lu Ziying bumped into him that time at the cemetery, and it turned out to be a hidden danger.
She has to ask Leng Yun to help deal with this matter...
After thinking about it, she said, "Sorry, Mr. Lu, this is my private matter and I have no comment."
"you!"
Lu Ziying raised her eyebrows high as soon as she heard this, as if she wanted to say something else.
Su An was the first to say, "Mr. Lu, I really don't know what the past is between you and Mr. Gu, and I don't want to know. Please don't embarrass me anymore. If you insist on asking about the person buried in that cemetery,
Who is he? Why don't we go find Mr. Gu together? If Mr. Gu also asks me to tell you, then I will tell you."
Su An pursed her lips, waiting for Lu Ziying to compromise.
This is the last resort available.
According to her observations over time, Gu Jingchen is actually a very considerate person for his subordinates, and he is not as ruthless as rumored.
It’s nothing more than paying more attention to details and professionalism at work.
As long as he does his job well, he won't train others for no reason.
And for things like today, he would definitely not side with Lu Ziying!
really--
As soon as Lu Ziying heard Gu Jingchen's name, her face became even more angry.
But I couldn't say a word anymore.
"Heh... are you trying to suppress me with Gu Jingchen? Are you going to say that your relationship is just a pure boss and subordinate?"
Lu Ziying knew just by thinking about it that Gu Jingchen would definitely side with the person in front of her.
That kind of maintenance was something she would never get in her life.
Su An was too lazy to say anything more.
"Those who purify themselves will purge themselves, Mr. Lu, I'm going back first."
She left the last word and left without looking back.
Back in the hall, Su An did not rush to find Gu Jingchen. Instead, he quickly took out his cell phone and sent a message to Leng Yun.
She explained how she might be suspected, and asked Leng Yun to quickly arrange a tombstone with the name of a person named Xia in the cemetery where Lu Ziting was located.
Soon, a reply came from Leng Yun.
Su An took a quick glance and saw that he had agreed and immediately asked someone to do it, and then she felt relieved.
Putting her phone away, her eyes immediately searched everywhere, looking for Gu Jingchen's shadow.
But nothing was found.
Then under the guidance of others, they found Gu Jingchen drinking alone in the corner of the rest area outside the hall.
"Mr. Gu."
Su An stood in front of Gu Jingchen and could smell the smell of alcohol on his body without lowering his head.
She had only been away for twenty minutes...
Gu Jingchen just made himself like this?
Is it because of what Lu Ziying said to him?
Su An didn't know, but looking at him like this, he could understand that he was in a terrible mood at this time.
"Bang!"
The sound of a wine glass being placed heavily on the table suddenly brought Su An back from his thoughts.
She came back to her senses instantly and looked at Gu Jingchen hurriedly.
Then I heard him say in a dull tone, "Bring me two more bottles of wine..."
"yes."
Su An did not dare to disobey and hurriedly turned around and left.
After taking two steps, he suddenly realized something and his eyes suddenly lit up!
liquor……
Gu Jingchen has already made himself drunk!
Neither Tang Ze nor the driver, Brother Li, are here tonight...
Wouldn't that mean that the two of them have another chance to be alone together?
When Gu Jingchen was almost done drinking, she could find a nearby hotel. The excuse was to ask him not to travel so far and have a good rest nearby!
Then……
Su An took a deep breath, the dawn of hope seemed to be right in front of her eyes!
Unexpectedly, the opportunity I missed last time actually appeared in the same way this time!
Thinking about it, she hurriedly quickened her pace and brought back a few more bottles of wine according to Jingchen's wishes.
But from the perspective of a "perfect assistant", she still advised softly, "Mr. Gu, it's better not to drink so much. It's not good for your health..."
Gu Jingchen remained silent, as if he didn't hear her words, he quickly poured himself a glass and drank it in one gulp.
Su An pursed her lips slightly and said nothing more.
Just standing next to Gu Jingchen, watching him drink cup after cup.
Another hour passed——
The few bottles of wine she took later were almost consumed.
Gu Jingchen's drinking capacity is not bad.
But after consuming so much high-concentration alcohol in a short period of time, I couldn’t hold it any longer.
The consciousness in my mind became increasingly blurry, leaving only the shadow of a person.
"An'an..."
Gu Jingchen whispered Su An's name in a low voice.
"Mr. Gu, what did you say?"
Su An didn't hear clearly and hurriedly bent down to get closer.
Gu Jingchen stopped talking, but stared at the empty air in front of him with unclear eyes, seemingly in a trance.
Where is this place?
Why is he here...
Is An'an here...?
Gu Jingchen felt some throbbing pain in his forehead, so he stretched out his hand and rubbed it twice.
Something flashed through my mind like lightning.
right……
He was at the celebration banquet.
But at the celebration banquet, how could there be An An?
An An is...in his office.
The things she likes are all in his office, accompanying him every day.
Gu Jingchen thought and suddenly stood up unsteadily!
"Mr. Gu!"
Su An was shocked and immediately subconsciously stepped forward to help.
However, Gu Jingchen swept her hand away and walked towards the elevator without squinting his eyes and unsteadily on his feet.
"Mr. Gu, please slow down..."
Su An didn't dare to touch him again, and her heart started to twitch.
Gu Jingchen...has he drank enough?
Is he planning to go home?
Thinking of her plan just now, Su An couldn't help but hold her breath.
Gu Jingchen wouldn't let him touch him, so she could only follow carefully.
The two people came all the way to the elevator door.
As soon as he entered, Gu Jingchen spontaneously went to the wall, then leaned half of his body against the wall and closed his eyes slightly.
He was really drunk.
But remember to get out of here.
When he arrived at the parking lot, he found his car accurately, opened the door and got in!
Suan was simply amazed.
He came to his senses immediately and hurriedly sat in the driver's seat.
A hanging heart also beat violently.
"Mr. Gu."
Su An started the car and said cautiously, "You've been drinking, and I'm afraid you might feel uncomfortable after a long journey. Why don't you rest in a nearby hotel tonight?"
She deliberately lowered her voice, thinking that Gu Jingchen was so drunk that he would probably not reply.
Then she can just take him as the default.
But I didn’t expect——
"Go back to the company..."
Gu Jingchen actually responded!
It's just that the voice was a little soft and Su An didn't hear it clearly.
She had no choice but to confirm again, "Mr. Gu, what did you just say?"
"company……"
Gu Jingchen seemed to be very persistent about this question. He answered in a low voice, then repeated in a louder voice, "I said go back to the company..."
Su An was startled when he heard this, with some unexpected surprise in his eyes.
company?
It's already this time, what is Gu Jingchen doing back at the company?
