Scheming Billionaire and His Wife - C25
He had never revealed his true strength in front of An Hengqian, and now facing his question, Ye Nuo appeared to be at a loss.
“Director An, I’m really sorry about this matter. For the time being, I don’t think I need to work with you.”
Ye Nuo had a very apologetic look on her face and didn’t have the sense of shrewdness of a business person. This made An Hengqian unable to make a decision in his heart. He didn’t know if she was pretending or if she was really like that.
Upon seeing An Hengqian act this way, Gu Benhen, who was standing to the side, swirled the wine glass in his hand and said, “Director An, I don’t think you can cooperate with him.”
“What do you mean?” Gu Benshen’s words made An Hengqian slightly frown, “I know that the An Family’s influence may not be as great as the Gu Family’s, but no matter what, the An Family’s strength is still among the best right?” You don’t lack the qualifications to work with Miss Ye. ”
“As far as I know, the power behind Miss Ye seems to have some skills, right?”
Before he could understand the meaning behind Gu Benhen’s words, Ye Nuo saw the hint in his eyes and asked in a daze, “Really? Why didn’t I know? ”
Ye Nuo’s performance, coupled with Gu Benshen’s intentional misdirection, made An Hengqian doubt in his heart. Was Ye Nuo really behind all of this? He didn’t know that she was being helped?
“Does Director Gu mean that Miss Ye will have Director Gu’s backing? If that is the case, then I am indeed not qualified. ”
“You’re thinking too much.” Gu Benhen put down the red wine cup in his hand, smiling as he looked at An Hengqian. “I do want to help, but they don’t need my help.” On the contrary, if I were to see someone else’s power, what can I do? ”
Gu Benshen’s words seemed to have a hint of vinegar in them, making An Hengqian feel that he wasn’t pretending.
Looking at the two of them, it didn’t seem like they were lying. He then decided to go back and investigate what other forces Ye Nuo had behind her.
“Aiya, let’s not talk about these things. We originally invited you out for a meal, but here we were discussing some work matters. This time, I feel like we’re actually talking about cooperation.”
An Hengqian’s words made Ye Nuo sneer inwardly.
The one who brought this up is you, and the one who ended it is also you. What kind of mind do you have that we can’t guess?
The two of them did not say much as they continued to eat in silence, occasionally teasing each other.
“Thank you for your hospitality, Director An. Next time, I’ll come and invite you.”
“You’re welcome. I should have asked you guys, this is also my apology. ”
After dinner, the two of them greeted each other and left.
Looking at An Hengqian’s departing figure, Ye Nuo took a deep breath, “It’s better not to attend these kinds of occasions. I’m afraid I don’t have to live for a few more years.”
Glancing at Gu Benhen beside him, Ye Nuo said, “Seems like the purpose of inviting me today is to test my bottom line, to find out who is supporting me. It can’t be that he’s preparing to make a move against me now, right? ”
“I’m not too familiar with the matter of whether or not I’m preparing to make a move on you, but you should be more careful these days.” “Look into every cooperation, not like last time.”
Remembering the scene from last time, Ye Nuo was secretly rejoicing in her heart. If she didn’t have a man by her side, perhaps she wouldn’t even know where she was crying now.
“I’ve already learned my lesson once, so I won’t be stupid about the same thing. “I will remember, and at the same time thank you very much.”
“Thank you or not. The word ‘thank you’ shouldn’t appear between us.”
He lowered his head and looked at his watch, then looked at Ye Nuo, “It’s getting late, I’ll send you back.”
“Okay, thank you then… “Then I’ll be troubling Director Gu.”
“Miss Ye, long time no see.”
When Gu Benhen brought Ye Nuo to his home, he was surprised to find that Yun Zhou was also there.
Ye Nuo was surprised by Yun Zhou’s appearance. “Mr. Yun, why are you here?”
“I happened to pass by.”
Yun Zhou looked at Ye Nuo, and only glanced at Gu Benhen beside her, and then shifted his gaze to Ye Nuo, “Did you just come back from a meal?”
“It seems like Mr. Yun’s company has been quite idle lately. Do you have the leisure to come to this kind of place and go to the park?”
Before Yennefer could reply, Gu Benhen had already rushed in front of him and opened his mouth. His eyes were filled with hostility.
“Mr. Yun, this kind of place doesn’t seem like a place you can come to. Or do you have another purpose? ”
“So what if I have other motives?” There was a gentle smile on Yun Zhou’s face as he politely looked at Gu Benhen, “Chairman Gu, aren’t you a little too possessive? I should not need to report to you why I am here right? ”
After saying this, the Cloud Region didn’t want to speak to Gu Ben Ling again. Looking at the smile on Ye Nuo’s face deepened, “Actually, the reason I’m here is to see you. It seems like a long time has passed since we last met.”
Ye Nuo didn’t know what to do in the face of Yun Zhou’s sudden gesture of goodwill. His gaze wandered between the two of them.
“Thank you for coming to see me, Mr. Yun, but it’s rather late now. I need some rest.”
“Oh, really?” Looking at the time, Yun Zhou said embarrassedly, “It’s my fault for not considering carefully. I’m sorry for disturbing Miss Ye’s rest.”
With that, he handed the item in his hand to Ye Nuo, “This is my gift to you. Treat it as an apology. I hope you can still accept it.”
Facing the gift box that was handed over by Yun Zhou, Ye Nuo could tell that it was expensive just by looking at the package. Ye Nuo waved her hand, “Mr Yun, you are too kind. Furthermore, you do not receive anything without merit. As long as it is something that I am unable to take out, I shall accept your kind intentions in my heart. ”
“The gift was originally prepared for Miss Ye. If Miss Ye is not willing to accept it, I think I will just throw it away.”
As he spoke, he looked at the nearby trash can and was about to throw it away, but Yeno immediately stopped him.
“Wait a moment, Mr. Yun. Such an expensive gift, even you bought it. There’s no way I can let you spend it, so I reluctantly accept it. “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Yun. I hope that you won’t do such a thing again.”
Seeing that Yeno accepted the gift, Yunzhou was even happier. “Okay, then Miss Ye should rest early. I won’t disturb you. See you again when you’re free.”
The two of them did not pay any attention to Gu Benhen at the side. As they left the Cloud Prefecture, they even waved at him.
“You like to receive gifts that much?”
“Ah?” “What?” Ye Nuo didn’t understand the meaning behind Gu Benhen’s words. Ye Nuo thought for a while and said, “I am alright, I am not annoying.”
“Why can’t I buy a gift with so much money? Why did he have to accept gifts from others? Is someone else’s gift that good? ”
Gu Benhen said these words and left with a wave of his hand.
Faced with Gu Benheng’s confused expression, Ye Nuo was confused, “What’s wrong?” Didn’t I just accept a gift? “Why is his temper so weird?”
