Because of Ming Qu’s absence, Gu Yuzhen, who was currently eating with his parents at the hotel’s restaurant, seemed absent-minded.
Mother Gu shot Father Gu a glance with her eyes, hinting for him to check on their son’s condition.
Father Gu hesitated for a moment, but shook his head helplessly.
The Gu Yuzhen they knew would never have acted like this, to the point where he lost his appetite over a woman. Yet now, they were watching it happen before their eyes.
“Ah Zhen, What’s wrong?”
After a while, Mother Gu could no longer stand it, and asked worriedly.
Only then did Gu Yuzhen snap back to his senses, a trace of emotion finally appearing on his face.
As he was with his parents, regardless of how much he wanted to see her, he could not simply leave.
“Is it because of your girlfriend?”
Father Gu interrupted his thoughts.
Gu Yuzhen’s expression shifted for just a moment before correcting him. “She’s my wife.”
His parents looked at each other with a smile on their faces.
“As the saying goes, even the worst daughter-in-law will eventually have to meet her in-laws to share a meal.”
Gu Yuzhen felt even more disturbed at his mother’s words.
“We were supposed to have dinner together today, but she was delayed by something.”
After saying that, he looked away as he lowered his head.
Seeing that the atmosphere was turning a little gloomy, Father Gu quickly changed the subject. “Alright, Alright. Since something has come up, we’ll do it some other day. Anyway, eat up! This restaurant is not bad, the food here is much more delicious than the one we frequent in France.”
Mother Gu immediately followed, “Aren’t you going to be staying here a while? Why not buy the restaurant?”
As Gu Yuzhen listened to them speak, he raised his head slowly, his gaze falling on the delectable dishes before him.
His parents were happy with the meal, but he was feeling depressed.
Two days later, in the evening, Gu Yuzhen had left work early and personally drove down to the hospital.
He did not exit the car. He tried calling Ming Qu first, but there was no answer.
He called again and again, but still no one picked up. In a fit of anger, he threw out his phone.
However, just as the phone had hit the flower patch by the roadside, it rang loudly.
Gu Yuzhen was shocked and hastily got out of the car to retrieve it.
The call was from Ming Qu. It turned out that she was not at the hospital, but was rather at the Ming Group building.
Gu Yuzhen hung up before immediately driving over.
Just as he arrived at the entrance, he saw the girl, who was already waiting for him.
She seemed to have lost weight again after only a few days of not seeing him. Her bright and clear eyes were now slightly sunken, making her seem even more delicate than usual. Her red lips were still rosy and alluring.
“Aren’t you supposed to be at the office at this time?”
He got out of the car while she inched closer, a faint smile hanging onto the corners of her mouth.
Gu Yuzhen’s face was sullen. Without a word, he pulled her tightly into his arms before kissing her.
As the onlooking security guards at the entrance saw this, they averted their eyes and pretended not to notice.
“What about you? Aren’t you supposed to be at the hospital? Why are you here?”
Gu Yuzhen let her go reluctantly before glancing at the Ming Group building.
Ming Qu did not keep anything from him as she said bluntly, “Ming Zhicheng has stepped down. Ming Group is currently unmanaged and in turmoil.”
“Do you need my help?”
As Gu Yuzhen caressed her cheek, his heart ached.
Ming Qu frowned, shaking her head. “No need.”
At that moment, the phone in her hand vibrated.
She lowered her head to take a look before immediately pulling Gu Yuzhen into Ming Group’s main hall.
At the arrival of this man, the initially bustling first floor instantly fell silent.
Ming Qu pulled him into the elevator under the crowd’s watchful eyes.
“Have you really never stayed in Tong City before?”
Thinking back to the trending searches of the past few days and considering the reactions of the people just now, Ming Qu voiced out the doubts in her heart.
The Gu family had been based overseas all this while. Now, they had suddenly returned to China, even choosing to stay in Tong City. Despite the fact that Gu Yuzhen was here because of her, it must not have been easy for them to establish a stable foundation here. Yet he had done it,and was now even close to surpassing the Ming family.
For this reason, she had no choice but to ask.
