Chapter 1839: Chapter 1839: Rising Star (41)
Gu Yu looked at that comment and let out a cold laugh. He would never forgive!
"President Gu, everything is ready, we can leave at any time." The assistant knocked and came in to remind Gu Yu that he could depart.
Gu Yu turned off his phone, his fingers grazing the diamond on the armrest. After rubbing it for a few moments, he slowly stood up: "Let’s go."
He had a very important negotiation today.
If the negotiation succeeded, it would elevate the whole group to a new level.
Buzz buzz buzz—
Gu Yu glanced at the incoming call, frowning: "What’s up?"
"Is Chuzheng with you?" The agent’s anxious voice came through.
"No."
"Then where did she go!" The agent was frantic over there: "The event is about to start, and she’s gone missing!"
"She’s your responsibility to watch, and you’re asking me?" If he couldn’t even keep track of one person, what was the point of him?
"..."
It’s not my fault she likes running to you whenever she’s free, is it?
Gu Yu hung up the phone and called Chuzheng.
But it wasn’t Chuzheng who answered; the voice was... the butler from the old house.
"Young Master, the Young Madam is having tea with the Old Madam. Do you need something?"
Gu Yu’s brow twitched furiously: "Why did she go to the old house?"
Butler: "The Young Madam heard that the Old Madam likes paintings, so she brought some over."
"Let her take the call."
The butler went to call Chuzheng, but unfortunately, it was the butler who came back to say she was too busy to answer.
Gu Yu: "..."
That damned brat!
Gu Yu angrily hung up and called the agent, telling him to handle it himself; Chuzheng wouldn’t be attending today.
Agent: "..."
How is he supposed to handle this!!
Gu Yu didn’t care how he did it. If he couldn’t manage this little thing as an agent, he’d have to be replaced.
-
At the old house.
Old Madam Gu, after looking at the paintings Chuzheng had brought, was in a very good mood and chatted with Chuzheng for a long time.
"Madam, you have an appointment with Mrs. Li and the others today, are we still going?" The butler came to inquire of Old Madam Gu.
"Oh my, I forgot about that." Old Madam Gu quickly said: "Xiao Chu, come with grandma."
Chuzheng did not refuse and followed Old Madam Gu into the car.
"These days, what worries me most is that brat Gu Yu. He’s got a terrible temper and won’t listen. It’ll be hard on you to take care of him in the future."
"It’s my duty."
I’ll take care of my own Good Person Card!
I can do it!
"Has Gu Yu been mean to you lately?"
"No, he wouldn’t dare!"
"If he bullies you, just tell grandma, and she’ll give him a lesson."
Gu Xiaoshun has no power to resist in front of Old Madam Gu.
"Mm."
Old Madam suddenly remembered something very important: "By the way, when do you plan to have the wedding?"
"..." That’s a bit difficult, considering Gu Yu is still mulling over divorce: "Let’s wait a little while."
Old Madam Gu: "You should hurry, Grandma wants to hold a grandson... or a granddaughter."
Chuzheng: "..."
That’s a bit challenging. The core socialist values don’t allow it. Where am I supposed to get you a grandchild!
I can’t make one either!
Why make things difficult for this poor little thing.
While Chuzheng was talking to Old Madam Gu, a car slowly followed behind them, maintaining a distance.
Ten minutes later, that car suddenly accelerated and crashed into theirs.
Bam—
A loud collision sounded.
Then came the screeching of emergency brakes, shrill honking, and noisy voices.
The car that was hit didn’t take much damage, only being pushed into the green belt on the side, but the car that crashed into them was in a terrible state, flipping over completely.
Inside the car, Old Madam Gu wasn’t hurt, only a bit shocked.
"Grandma, are you okay?"
"No—no, I’m fine." Old Madam Gu quickly looked at her: "Are you okay?"
"I’m fine." Chuzheng opened the car door and got out: "I’ll go check it out."
Today’s situation was the spark in the storyline that marked the beginning of Gu Yu’s turn to darkness.
She could have kept Old Madam Gu from going out today, but the perpetrators would keep finding chances and might even directly target Gu Yu.
So the best solution was to drag the person behind it out and deal with it once and for all.
-
By the time Gu Yu received the news, the negotiation was over, and he arrived at the relevant department where Chuzheng and Old Madam Gu sat alone in a room.
"Grandma." Gu Yu nervously walked in: "Are you alright?"
"Ah, I’m fine. Take a look at your wife." Old Madam Gu, who’d seen many storms and tempests, quickly calmed down after the initial shock.
Gu Yu looked over at the person beside him, who calmly drank water as if she hadn’t been frightened at all.
Gu Yu walked over, standing in front of her. After a moment, he awkwardly sputtered out: "Need a hug?"
Chuzheng looked up, nodded under Gu Yu’s uneasy gaze: "Yes."
It’s a hug, why not!
Gu Yu: "..."
Gu Yu hugged her, planning to let go after a brief moment, but Chuzheng reached out to wrap her arms around him.
"Alright, let go," Gu Yu whispered.
"One minute. Not a second more!"
"..." Gu Yu gritted his teeth: "Grandma is still here!"
"I’m not, I’m not," Old Madam Gu had sharp ears and spoke up immediately: "Pretend I’m not here."
Gu Yu: "..."
To kiss or not to kiss!!
After the minute was up, Chuzheng released him, and Gu Yu stepped a meter away from her: "What happened, how did the accident occur?"
"The car behind suddenly charged forward, seemed like the driver was drunk," Old Madam Gu said. "Gu Yu, you shouldn’t drink either. You see, if you were to die, your wife would become someone else’s."
Gu Yu: "???"
As if she would dare!
Ugh, is this the time to be talking about that?
Not knowing what else Old Madam Gu might say, Gu Yu quickly slipped out on the pretext of asking for details.
The incident wasn’t complicated; the perpetrator was drunk driving.
The scene seemed a bit strange; the car that got hit remained untouched, while the perpetrator’s car flipped over.
One could only say they were very lucky.
Gu Yu: "..."
Was it really luck?
Something felt off.
Once the procedures were complete, they could leave.
With the accident, Old Madam Gu’s appointment was off, and Chuzheng and Gu Yu drove her back.
Upon leaving the old house, Chuzheng found some paper and a pen in the car, scribbled a few words, and handed it to Gu Yu.
"What’s this?"
Chuzheng gestured for him to look.
Gu Yu: "..."
Gu Yu took it; there was only a name on the paper.
"You don’t think today’s accident was just a coincidence, do you? Investigate this person, and you’ll have an unexpected gain."
Gu Yu frowned: "You... how do you know?"
Chuzheng turned her head: "How I know is not important. Just remember, I won’t harm you, ever."
Gu Yu: "..."
Gu Yu held the piece of paper tightly for a while and then said: "Thanks for today."
Chuzheng unceremoniously accepted: "Mm." A bit more sincerity would be appreciated.
