Chapter 196: Purgatory
Watching her walk into the living room, Zou Zichen's mother flashed in my mind, the two of them seem to be a little similar, could they be two sisters? But it's not right, old man Zou, he only has one daughter.|**|
"Auntie, I'm just staying here temporarily." I was afraid that she would misunderstand, so I quickly explained.
Gu's mother turned her head and smiled at me, "Yes." Although she said this, her face was obviously not convinced, and she said, "Are you going out, go, leave me alone."
"I'll give Mr. Gu a power release." I said, pulling my phone into my bag.
"No, no, I'm coming back to surprise him, you're busy, don't delay."
Gu's mother is so good.
"Then aunt, you can do your own thing, I'll go to work first."
"Well, go ahead."
Coming out of the apartment, I felt that I couldn't live here with Gu Yisheng, otherwise I would definitely not be able to tell in the future, so I would better find another house.
When I arrived at the company, I met Gu Yisheng, he was talking to the front desk and I didn't know what he was talking to, and I felt that his mother had to tell him about the sudden visit. As soon as Gu Yisheng heard that his mother had returned to China, he rolled his eyes and looked like he was about to die.
"Hey, what's that look on your face?" I gave him a disdainful look as I got into the elevator.
"You don't know, my mother is very difficult to entangle, and she must have come back this time to force marriage." He stroked his forehead with one hand and looked pained.
I couldn't help but laugh, it turned out that he also had people who were afraid. Suddenly, I remembered the scene I saw last night, so I tentatively asked, "Have you met Ouyang Xue recently?"
Gu Yisheng turned his head to look at me, "We just met last night." ”
He even confessed.
"Do you still see each other in private?" I looked at him in shock.
"She asked me yesterday, and I didn't want to go, but I heard her voice and seemed to be in a bad mood, so I reluctantly paid the appointment." He looked arrogant.
"Hasn't it been reported on the Internet recently that she and Zou Zichen are quite affectionate, why is she still in a bad mood?"
He chuckled and raised an eyebrow, "You believe that one." ”
Uh, it's hard to make all the appearances fake?
"Well, wouldn't it be convenient for your mother to live in my apartment?" I want to move out.
"It's okay, she should have just arrived in the morning, and she will go back to the villa in the afternoon when you are near." Gu Yisheng gave me a reassuring look.
When I entered the office, I sat at my desk in a daze, thinking about what I had said with Gu Yisheng in the elevator just now, and the picture of Zou Zichen and Lin Xiaoyue getting on the bus flashed in my mind.
I thought about it and pressed the internal line to ask Mary for Lin Xiaoyue's mobile phone number, Mary was a little strange how I didn't have Lin Xiaoyue's phone, but she still gave me a string of numbers.
I called Lin Xiaoyue for a long time to pick it up, and her voice was still a little hoarse and lazy when she had just woken up.
Lin Xiaoyue heard that it was me calling, and she called her sister very happily and asked me what was the matter, I asked her if she had time at noon, and she said that she had made an appointment with someone to eat together at noon, and her tone was extremely excited and complacent, and she didn't have to guess to know who the person to eat was.
What I don't understand is how Zou Zichen could get involved with her, to say that he suddenly fell in love with Lin Xiaoyue, I don't believe it if he was killed.
I listened to her tone and didn't want to say anything more to her, so I hung up the phone.
The mood couldn't get any better, and I could only keep looking for things for myself, so that I could barely get rid of the picture in my head.
When he was about to get off work in the evening, Gu Yisheng suddenly called the inside line, saying that there was a party for me to go with him in the evening, because the company's money had not been collected yet, and he was going to take a loan from the bank. It is said that it is not difficult to borrow hundreds of millions of dollars with the benefits of Jingcheng, but there is a case in everything, so Gu Yisheng is ready to go out in person, and he doesn't want this 'just in case' to appear again.
I'm very annoyed about socializing, but now it's my job and I can't refuse, so I took out the makeup bag in my bag and went to the bathroom, I made up my makeup in front of the mirror, drew eyeliner, applied mascara, and applied lip gloss, and the whole person instantly brightened, sweeping away the decadence just now, and my spirit was also shocked.
Gu Yisheng and I brought a total of four people, a female director of the public relations department and two executives of the investment, I saw the two of them at the last auction, the female director of the public relations department also met once or twice but didn't know what it was called, after getting in the car, they introduced each other to know that her surname was Shen, and during the conversation, it could be seen that this person has a delicate heart, and it is very suitable to engage in public relations.
Looking at Gu Yisheng's formation tonight, he knew that he was holding the heart of victory. When we arrived at the club where we had made an appointment with the guests, the other party had not yet arrived, so Gu Yisheng ordered drinks and cold dishes first.
After a while, the guests also came, and the other party also came with four people, the leader was a middle-aged man, the top of his head had been discharged, his belly was round like a melon, the flesh on his face would tremble when he took two steps, and he laughed like a squint, looking very good at talking, and the other three should be lined up, and they were very flattering to this middle-aged man.
After Gu Yisheng was polite to the visitor, the other party introduced each other and called the waiter to order. The person who was invited to the dinner in the evening was a vice president who was in charge of the amount of money on behalf of the bank. Gu Yisheng personally handed over the menu, but the other party was very happy, and said a few things that he was afraid of, so he asked Gu Yisheng to watch it, and Gu Yisheng handed me the menu and let me go out to order.
This task is not difficult for me, I took the menu out of the private room, the waiter was waiting at the side door, saw me come out and hurriedly greeted me, I quickly glanced at the menu filtered, and began to order, cold dishes just ordered, so I asked for eight hot dishes each a sea cucumber millet porridge and a case of broth, and explained a few things to the waiter.
When I finished ordering and turned to enter the private room, I caught a glimpse of a man and a woman coming up from the top of the stairs, the woman holding the man's arm, her upper body close to him, looking up at the man with a smile, I don't know what he was talking about.
This scene made my brain jump so suddenly that I forgot to enter the door.
Zou Zichen's face was very indifferent, but he was not disgusted with the woman who was attached to him, and leaned on her. When his eyes met mine, the corners of his mouth hooked, raised his eyebrows contemptuously, and led Lin Xiaoyue into the private room in front.
Watching the two disappear into the hallway, my legs went limp, I almost didn't stop, and I grabbed the doorknob for a while before I pushed in. There was a lot of talk and laughter in the private room, and the drinks were already full.
"Lin Zhu, come and salute President Wang." As soon as Manager Shen saw me coming in, he smiled and beckoned.
I hurriedly walked over, put on my mask, and smiled, "Yes." ”
Gu Yisheng glanced at me with his eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly, which means that you can do what you can, and you don't have to be reluctant.
I returned to the seat cup and had already poured the wine, I picked it up and walked over to President Wang, "President Wang, I respect you, you are free." I lifted my glass and drank it down, and I grinned as the hot liquid rushed down my throat.
I turned out to be a craft brewer.
"Assistant Lin has a good amount of alcohol." When President Wang saw me take a glass of liquor, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and he raised his big finger at me.
"Where, where," I smiled humbly.
A few people next to Governor Wang began to coax, saying that I can't respect just President Wang.
I smiled heartily, picked up the bottle and poured another glass, and saluted them one by one. I drank it in this circle, and the whole table looked at me with a little admiration. Gu Yisheng didn't expect me to be able to drink so much, but he was still afraid that I would drink too hard, so he hurriedly beckoned them to eat, chatted with some extracorporeal words, and occasionally made a painless yellow tone to amuse, and lived more and more atmosphere.
The opening exchange was very cheerful.
Soon the hot dishes were served, and Manager Shen enthusiastically served soup and poured wine. Gu Yisheng whispered in my ear while everyone was talking, asking me to take it easy and not get drunk. But the other party saw my opening drink, and saw that my face still didn't change, so they were willing to let me go, didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food, and asked me to drink again, and even Manager Shen's enthusiastic face couldn't hook them.
These people are all people who mix in the scene, and they have long eaten Manager Shen's set, so they are not new, but they are curious about my drinking, and they toast me one by one. And I hate to get drunk, so I don't think about those two people.
Gu Yisheng saw that I couldn't stop it, so he came forward to relieve me, and as soon as he came forward, those people couldn't refute his face.
I took the opportunity to go to the bathroom, because I didn't eat anything, and I drank so much alcohol at once, I was dizzy, my stomach was a little rolling, and I was a little confused.
Walked to the entrance of the bathroom, I entered the right side with the inertia of the man left and the woman right, as soon as I entered, I threw up on the edge of the pool, and the stomach was much more comfortable after vomiting, I held the water with both hands together and rinsed my mouth, and when I straightened up, I suddenly felt that the underwear behind the back seemed to collapse, and the strap on one shoulder was obviously loosened.
I wiped the side of my mouth with the back of my hand, listened quietly, and felt that there was no one in the bathroom, so I took off my jacket and suit, and unbuttoned my shirt, trying to hook the underwear/clothes strap, I estimated that I could do these actions in a minute, but I forgot that I drank alcohol, and my hands became not so neat, so I concentrated and did not notice that the bathroom door was pushed in from the outside.
When I unbuttoned my underwear and looked up in the mirror, I almost screamed.
Zou Zichen stood quietly at the door, like a ghost, motionless, his eyes lit up with two blazing fires, just looking at me like that.
