Chapter 90: Chance Encounters
"Oh, Miss Yan doesn't know me yet, does she? My name is Gu Qingyi, I saw you on TV, I heard that you are also working in Brother Chu's company now? β
Yan Qingruo reached out a little embarrassed to shake her hand, nodded and said, "It turned out to be Miss Gu, hello, I have admired my name for a long time." β
In Jiangcheng, if Yan Zhixin was the only one in the celebrity world in the past, then this Gu Qingyi in front of her is a rising star in the Jiangcheng celebrity world after the decline of Yan Zhixin.
Yan Qingruo looked at Gu Qingyi from head to toe, although her dress tended to be pure and lovely, but her meticulous makeup couldn't hide the charm in her bones.
Her bewitching is different from Lisa's kind of dressing up, it is a kind of bewitching that penetrates the bone marrow, from the inside out, like a wild rose, bright, prickly, and even a little fragrant.
She was a little envious of Chu Mu, his Yanfu was really not shallow, and all the women around her were the best.
"Where can we talk about long-term admiration? I'm the name of Miss Yan for a long time, since we're all here, why don't we have a meal together? β
Yan Qingruo peeked at Chu Mu who was sitting on the side, his eyes were very deep, which made people guess his thoughts, let alone know his joy and anger, but the powerful aura emanating from her whole body was enough to make her retreat.
"Still can't do it, how can I bear to disturb your beautiful scenery."
Saying that Yan Qingruo was about to leave, she even completely forgot the basic etiquette that employees should greet their bosses when they saw them.
At this time, Gu Mingyang, who was next door, heard the movement, thinking that Yan Qingruo was in trouble, so he immediately came over to check the situation, but it was okay if he didn't come, but he was pulled by Gu Qingyi and didn't let him go.
"Brother, it turns out that you are eating with Miss Yan, okay, you have finally opened up recently, and you know how to date girls?"
Gu Qingyi paused and continued to turn her head, she made a mysterious look and said to Yan Qingruo: "Miss Yan, I will secretly tell you a secret, my brother has never been close to women since he was a child, and he has never taken the initiative to date girls. β
Gu Mingyang was a little overwhelmed by Gu Qingyi's words, and couldn't help but pat her head dotingly, "Did you talk to your brother like this?" β
But Gu Qingyi didn't think so, she pouted at Gu Mingyuan, and winked at Yan Qingruo excitedly, indicating that there was no problem with judgment.
Yan Qingruo coughed a little embarrassed, "Actually, I took the initiative to invite him to dinner today." β
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the banquet became stiff for a while, and Yan Qingruo even felt that time had stood still.
Gu Qingyi's mouth pursed into an O-shape, and when she recovered, she pointed at Yan Qingruo in surprise and said, "Could it be that . . . Are you chasing my brother? β
"Ahem."
At this time, Chu Mu, who had been sitting on the side, finally couldn't stand the fact that he was ignored, so he had to cough to remind them not to be too presumptuous.
Sure enough, Chu Mu's cough pulled Gu Mingyang and Yan Qingruo's thoughts back.
"Mr. Chu."
Gu Mingyang took the lead in greeting Chu Mu. Yan Qingruo had no choice but to bow honestly and say that Mr. Chu was good.
"Since we all know each other, why don't we eat together? Brother, you are not allowed to leave when you come, otherwise I will go back and tell my father that you have a girlfriend at home! β
The last three words made everyone present fall through their glasses, especially Yan Qingruo, who felt that she couldn't cry or laugh now.
When she secretly glanced at Chu Mu, he just lowered his head, kept shaking the red wine glass in his hand, and didn't say a word.
"Come on, come on, you sit here, I'll sit with Brother Chu."
Without waiting for everyone's consent, Gu Qingyi had already automatically moved the position next to Chu Mu, and by the way, the waiter came over to help them move the position.
Yan Qingruo and Gu Mingyang glanced at each other awkwardly, she swore that if there were other options, she would definitely not stay here, but Gu Mingyang obviously couldn't leave.
Moreover, now the two of them are actually waiting for Chu Mu to speak, if their big boss doesn't open his mouth to keep people, these two people won't dare to sit down no matter what.
Gu Qingyi seemed to know their thoughts. Immediately turned around and held Chu Mu's arm beside him and coquettishly, "Brother Chu, you just let them stay and eat together, after all, there are more people." β
She pouted and coquettishly looked, just like she was harmless and innocent to this Gu Mingyang just now, but Yan Qingruo looked a little evil.
"Well, it's good if you're happy."
Chu Mu changed his cold and solemn way of speaking in the past, and his tone was full of arrogance. While speaking, he even touched Gu Qingyi's hair lovingly, and the pampering in his eyes deeply stabbed Yan Qingruo's eyes.
Gu Qingyi, who received the holy decree, happily buried her head in her arms, but she didn't go any further, but stood up and said to them, "Okay, sit down." β
Gu Mingyang took the initiative to help Yan Qingruo pull out the chair and let her sit down.
Yan Qingruo's heart has been going up and down, she was just cleaned up by Chu Mu today, and she saw his "beastly hair" so that now she doesn't dare to do anything.
Immediately, Yan Qingruo suspected that she was actually thinking too much, Chu Muzheng was completely immersed in Gu Qingyi's gentle township, took the vegetables and clean crab meat she sandwiched, and ate happily.
"Hey, Miss Yan, when did you get along with my brother?"
Gu Qingyi suddenly changed his interest, and when he put a plucked shrimp into Chu Mu's bowl, he asked with a curious little face.
"Miss Gu, I think you misunderstood, I ......"
Yan Qingruo, who originally wanted to explain her relationship with Gu Mingyang, suddenly stopped, because she saw that Chu Mu didn't seem to care about this issue throughout the whole process.
"We're not what you think!"
Gu Mingyang stuffed a shrimp into Gu Qingyi's mouth and motioned her not to talk more.
But Gu Qingyi was a stubborn person who didn't die in the heart of the Yellow River, took the shrimp out of his mouth, and said unconvinced: "Brother, you just lie to me, if you weren't interested in Miss Yan, how could you help Miss Yan and call Yixin home to reflect?" β
Gu Mingyang gritted his teeth and thought, sure enough, it was Gu Yixin's guy, he didn't expect him to call her home to reflect on the front foot, she called Gu Qingyi on the back foot, no wonder she would eat with Chu Mu, it seemed that it was also for Gu Yixin's business.
What Gu Mingyang was thinking in his mind, Yan Qingruo also heard some meanings.
"Miss Gu, you really misunderstood, I have a fiancΓ©, my brother and I are just ordinary colleagues, and inviting him to dinner today is to thank him for upholding justice for me today and speaking up."
Gu Qingyi blinked her eyes in disbelief, and immediately said to Chu Mu: "Brother Chu, they said that they didn't mean that to each other, do you believe it?" I think they're quite funny, what do you think? β
Yan Qingruo just wanted to find a dirt pit to bury herself, and the current atmosphere could no longer be described as embarrassing, it could be said to be weird.
Chu Mu put down his chopsticks and slowly raised his head, looking at them with care, and suddenly his gaze stayed on Yan Qingruo's neck, where there were traces of his abuse, and his gaze slowly moved up until it met her gaze.
Yan Qingruo's breath was stagnant, she couldn't find her rhythm and thoughts, and her magnetic field was seriously disturbed.
Maybe Chu Mu has always been her nemesis, and every time she is in a place where he is, she is uncomfortable.
"Hmph."
Chu Mu only protruded a contemptuous breath from his nostrils, then picked up the red wine glass in his hand and raised it to Yan Qingruo, "It turns out that you are already married, I wish you a happy new marriage." β
Everyone present was speechless by Chu Mu's words, especially Yan Qingruo, what was he going to do?
"What? Didn't Miss Yan say that she only has a fiancΓ©? Why did you get married? Brother Chu, how do you know? β
Gu Qingyi asked Chu Mu with a blank expression, her gaze moved from his face to Yan Qingruo's face, and then to Gu Mingyang's face.
"This question, I think you should still ask Miss Yan so that the person concerned can give an accurate answer, right?"
Chu Mu asked Gu Qingyi rhetorically, but his eyes were staring straight at Yan Qingruo, his lips pursed, and he pulled out a serious arc.
"Ahem, this ......"
Yan Qingruo didn't know how to answer, so she had to pretend to be choked, and Gu Mingyang, who was on the side, saw this situation and immediately patted her on the back to help her relieve it.
Maybe it's an illusion, Yan Qingruo feels that there is a gaze that wants to burn her through, she just wants to stay quietly under the table and bury her head as an ostrich, and she doesn't want to show her head anymore so that everyone can see her embarrassed appearance.
Of course, she didn't just think like this but also did it, Yan Qingruo adhered to the attitude that if she could die in the next second, she would never die now, so she simply squatted down the chair and pretended to tie her shoes.
Gu Mingyang, who buried his head with her, wrinkled his brows, looking puzzled, Yan Qingruo put his finger next to his mouth and motioned him to ignore him.
Gu Mingyang understood, straightened up a little embarrassedly, and smiled at Chu Mu.
"Miss Yan? What happened to you? β
Although Chu Mu would not do such a thing of burying his head in the table, it did not mean that the people around him could not, Gu Qingyi lifted the tablecloth with a smile and looked at her, his eyes were full of curiosity, and his tone was a little worried.
Yan Qing coughed a few times and continued to tie her shoelaces.
"I'm fine, it's just that this shoelace is not easy to tie, you eat slowly, don't worry about me, I'll tie it for a while."
Yan Qingruo got the words that made the people sitting cry and laugh, and Gu Mingyang couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
At this time, Chu Mu, who had been ignoring Yan Qingruo's behavior, spoke.
"Waiter, please tie this lady's shoes."
Chu Mu's words were so startled that Yan Qingruo immediately bounced up from under the table, and hurriedly waved his hand to the waiter who had already come, "No, no, I've already tied it." β
This meal was extremely embarrassing, Gu Qingyi showed favor on the surface, but in fact, her mind was not pure at all, of course, she did not have any qualifications to say those words, except that silence was silence.
"Miss Yan, looking at your appearance, you should be very emotional, right? It's nice for my brother to be with you, so he can take a little less detours, after all, he's still a first-time virgin! β
