Chapter 499 - 497 Mrs., Mr. Gu has arrived
Gu Chen stepped out of the bedroom, wandered around the house, and didn’t find anything or anyone suspicious.
He rubbed his swollen head and turned back to his room.
Perhaps everything in his memory was just happening in a dream; Gu Li never really moved in!
Realizing this made Gu Chen feel utterly listless, thinking about the loads of work at the office made his mood inexplicably irritable.
Before leaving, he called Leng Yixing.
Leng Yixing was a bit surprised upon receiving his call, "You haven’t reached the office at this time?"
Gu Chen was known as a workaholic who was never late nor left early, being Lu Jinyang’s most capable assistant; even Lu Jinyang couldn’t match his drive. But now it was already past ten, and Gu Chen was still at home.
"Hmm, I thought about taking a day off. Are you free?"
Leng Yixing probably guessed that Gu Chen was encountering some issues, but he didn’t ask, "I’m not free, Jinyang is at home with his wife and child; I’m at the office working overtime right now."
After a moment’s thought, Gu Chen said, "Then you go on with your work, I’ll make a trip to the Lu Mansion."
-
In the morning, Xiao Qing received a call from Gu Li, who said she wanted to come over to see her, so she gave her the address of the Lu Mansion.
After waiting for an hour, Xiao Qing received a call from Gu Li, from the other end of the call came Gu Li’s uncertain voice: "Sister Qing, are you... are you at home?"
"Yes, you haven’t arrived yet?"
"I’ve... I’ve arrived; can you come out to meet me?"
Xiao Qing slightly raised her eyebrows, realized what the issue was, and chuckled, "You’re at the door now? I’m not able to come out right now, you wait..."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Qing asked Nanny Zhang to bring Gu Li in.
After entering, Gu Li looked at her differently.
She smiled, "Gu Li, you have questions for me, right?"
"Yes. I... I’m just too shocked. This is the Lu Mansion, but I don’t understand why you are here?"
Xiao Qing didn’t conceal it, "I heard that I married Lu Jinyang five years ago, and after a paternity test with my two children, Lu Jinyang is their biological father."
Gu Li’s mouth dropped wide open, "Good heavens, Sister Qing you’re amazing!" An elder brother who is the CEO of Emperor and a husband who is the CEO of Kairun Group, a legend in the business world, and also having a pair of adorable twins, it’s almost like you are on a lucky streak.
"Li, you’re my agent, which is why I’m letting you know these things, so..."
Gu Li nodded hurriedly, "I understand, I won’t mention these things, no, these two things to anyone."
"Good. Stay here for lunch today, none of them are at home."
With a guest at home, Nanny Zhang should be adding more dishes, right? Luckily, none of them were at home, now she can eat whatever she wants!
Gu Li thought for a bit, realizing she might run into Gu Chen if she returned to the office, and since she had nothing else to do, she agreed to stay for lunch.
The two chatted for a while, then Nanny Zhang brought someone in and said to Xiao Qing: "Madam, Mr. Gu has arrived."
Mr. Gu?
Xiao Qing looked outside; a tall figure walked in, and she suddenly realized it was Gu Chen.
"President Gu~"
Gu Chen shook his head, "Sister-in-law, just call me Gu Chen, ’President Gu’ doesn’t suit you."
Xiao Qing, however, declined, "But you are my superior, ’President Gu’ is the most appropriate."
Gu Chen smiled faintly, not insisting further. It was something that Lu Jinyang would need to tell her himself later; it seemed that Lu Jinyang hadn’t told her about his acquisition of the New City Entertainment.
"Mr. Lu is not in?"
