Chapter 29

Ye Shu didn't know about Gu Ningcheng's drowning.

In other words, Ye Shu didn't know many things about Gu Ningcheng.

They were engaged and were about to become a couple, but there was always an illusory between Ye Shu and Gu Ningcheng, preventing Ye Shu from getting close to him.

Such as now.

Gu Ningcheng sat on the bench and distanced himself from Ye Shu.

The lush shade of trees fell on his body, and the bright and dim lights and shadows flowed in his eyes, but he was so distant that he didn't even give her a look.

Maybe it's because they are both wearing swimsuits - without the protection of clothes, they can touch each other skin-to-skin and feel the passion of both parties. But Gu Ningcheng is tepid, what can Ye Shu do?

She knelt down, leaned on the armrest of the chair, and kissed Gu Ningcheng's thin lips in a charming way.

When Ye Shaohua saw this scene, he covered his eyes with his hands and whistled: "Yo yo yo! My sister and brother-in-law have such a good relationship!"

After hearing these words, Ye Shu felt relieved.

She smiled sweetly: "Your brother-in-law said that he doesn't want to come to this swimsuit party. Thanks to me for inviting him."

Ye Shu was sitting on the armrest, with her legs together and slightly bent.

She knew how to show off her proud curves. Her swimsuit bra was stained with water, and the water droplets were like transparent pearls, attached to her body. She wiped them with her fingertips. Relying on a woman's sixth sense, Ye Shu felt,

Most of the men present were paying attention to her.

Including a young talent who pursued her.

The man's name was Guan Jing, and he was Ye Shu's college classmate.

When Ye Shu was in a good mood, she would call him "Brother Jing." He was always a romantic man and would climb on every tip. He was a famous playboy who often teased her with dirty jokes.

Now, Ye Shu had an idea. She pulled up Ye Shaohua and went to find Guan Jing with the wine glass. Halfway there, she turned back and smiled at Gu Ningcheng.

Gu Ningcheng waited for her figure to disappear completely before asking the waiter for a wet wipe.

He wiped his mouth with the wet wipe.

Then threw the wet wipes into the trash can.

Of course Ye Shu couldn't see it. She was still reminiscing with Guan Jing, smiling with her lips pursed: "Ah? How long have we not seen each other?"

"It's been two months and thirteen days, and I miss me so much." Guan Jing rambled on for a while - because he knew that Ye Shu would not remember it either.

He showed off his usual skills in picking up girls and complimented, "Are you engaged to Gu Ningcheng? What do you mean, I'm so jealous of that kid."

"Why are you jealous of him?" Ye Shu raised her head and exhaled like a blue breath, "Are you having any drama with Jessica? Where are you at?"

Jessica is another young girl and their mutual friend. Guan Jing has publicly expressed his affection for her.

However, in front of Ye Shu, Guan Jing reacted on the spot: "Baby, you mentioned Jessica to me, and I thought of her. When I was talking to you, you were the only one in my mind."

Ye Shu smiled gently and delicately.

Guan Jing raised his hand and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.

Seeing that she didn't reject it, Guan Jing slipped his fingers and pinched her earlobe.

Ye Shu slowly turned her head, looking for Gu Ningcheng in the crowd - he had indeed come out of the corner and entered the usual social circle. He didn't care what Ye Shu did, let alone her flirting with others.

She seemed to be directing a farce that belonged to one person.

What did she do wrong? She was so upset that she left Guan Jing behind and jumped into the swimming pool.

The water splashed "bang", cooling the body.

Ye Shu gritted her teeth with hatred, floated in the water, grabbed Ye Shaohua's shoulders, and asked: "What did you and your brother-in-law talk about just now?"

"What's wrong?" Ye Shaohua was bored, "There's nothing to talk about."

He had a bad memory and was very forgetful. After thinking about it, he came back to his senses and said: "I told you about grandpa, and Su Qiao. She disappeared. I knew where she could go, so I asked casually... Anyway, she is Su Qiao.

Family member, our biological sister."

After saying that, Ye Shaohua asked again: "Sister, why are you so close to Guan Jing? He does that and touches your ears, what the hell?"

Ye Shaohua cared more about her than Gu Ningcheng - maybe it was because of Su Qiao.

The word "Su Qiao" is a thorn in Ye Shu's heart that cannot be removed.

She hates Su Qiao so much.

I don't even want to have a sister like this.

When she hated someone extremely, she still wanted to compare herself with that person - she stared at Gu Ningcheng in the distance, sweating slightly on the back of her head, and still whispered softly: "Tell me, who is more beautiful, Su Qiao or me?"

Ye Shaohua felt a little embarrassed and baffled by this question.

But he thought about it and said honestly: "Su Qiao is more beautiful, she is exquisite... But sister, Su Qiao is too convoluted. How can she compare with you? She has no affinity at all. I have one

My friend, I am so obsessed with her that I don’t even dare to say a word.”

The chatter in my ears turned into noise.

Ye Shu's jealousy surged, hinting at anger.

Without saying a word, she stood up and left. She grabbed a white robe from the maid's hand and walked into the villa.

The glass door of the villa separates the two worlds. Su Zhan inside is smoking.

His figure is like a clothes rack, stretching a suit into a slender shape.

Ladies from famous families flocked to him, but he had not made a choice for a long time. Before his grandfather passed away, he had tried many ways to match her, hoping for a result, but unfortunately he could no longer wait.

It was not that Su Zhan was not aloof from women. He had several lovers in private. They were pure in appearance, well-behaved, and would not cause trouble for money. They were all the objects of his sexual desire.

However, in recent years, Su Zhan became tired of them all. Even Ye Shu noticed that Su Zhan was becoming increasingly difficult to get close to. She did not dare to speak directly, wearing a thin robe, frowning, and tears flashing in her eyes.

"What's going on?" Su Zhan held the cigarette and taught her in a cold voice, "Crying and fussing is not what you should be like."

He took a puff of cigarette and exhaled white mist, which made her look sad.

Su Zhan seemed to understand everything: "Did Gu Ningcheng bully you?"

"No," Ye Shu sat down, dumbfounded, "Brother, he doesn't bully me at all, do you understand?"

Su Zhan smiled clearly and advised: "Control your eldest lady's temper, we are already married to the Gu family. If something goes wrong at this juncture, it will not be good for you or him."

He asked back: "Gu Ningcheng and your ex-boyfriends are not the same kind of people, do you understand? It's July now, and Su Qiao will be back soon, so be prepared."

Ye Shu's throat was dry, and her mood hit rock bottom and kept sinking. She couldn't say that her eldest brother had done something wrong. If she was the heir to the group, she would have to weigh the pros and cons and not be able to take into account all aspects.

She lay on the pillow on the sofa and looked at Gu Ningcheng by the swimming pool.

Gu Ningcheng received a call.

The number started with 44, the British area code. He immediately took the phone and walked to a deserted place.

The person who called him was Lu Mingyuan who was far away on the other side.

Lu Mingyuan stood on the balcony of the hotel, holding on to the railing and looking out into the air. The seagull spread its wings and was about to fly. As it fluttered, it dropped its white feathers and floated into the vast sea surface.

He was in a relaxed mood and greeted everyone by name as soon as he came up: "Hello, Mr. Gu."

Gu Ningcheng said gently: "Hello, I am Gu Ningcheng, I am also the project manager of Hongsheng Group and the deputy director of the administrative and human resources department... Let me ask first, is Su Qiao with you?"

At this moment, Su Qiao was in the bedroom behind Lu Mingyuan.

The weather was fine, so she changed into a short skirt, sat on the table, lowered her head and flipped through the documents. There were a few fingerprints on her white thighs, which Lu Mingyuan had pinched last night. He couldn't control his strength, and thought he would correct it in the future.

Lu Mingyuan looked at Su Qiao, and then treated Gu Ningcheng with some indifference: "If you want to ask me for anything, just tell me."

"I would like to ask you a favor," Gu Ningcheng said politely, "I can't contact Mr. Lu Chen. I have something on hand that he must be very interested in."

Lu Mingyuan analyzed unkindly: "From what you said, those things are not important enough for him to contact you personally, Mr. Gu."

Gu Ningcheng laughed.

Before he met Lu Mingyuan, Gu Ningcheng had many guesses about him. He only knew that Lu Mingyuan grew up abroad, had no father or mother, and had no foundation. He guessed that Lu Mingyuan's Chinese might not be very good and his thinking was completely Westernized.

Unexpectedly, he reacted quickly and had a bit of a venomous tongue.

It's hard to imagine what kind of family Lu Chen fostered him in.

Gu Ningcheng said generously: "I know you don't care about fame and fortune. Your works are impressive. If you are willing to help me, as long as you ask, I will try my best to satisfy any request."

There was a faint noise on the other end of the phone. Lu Mingyuan heard that it was probably the music at the party.

He said in a formal way: "You didn't say you had something in your hand. Even if I tell my dad, he will pretend that he didn't hear it."

Gu Ningcheng laughed candidly: "Don't worry, you don't need to check this. As long as Lu Chen knows that I'm looking for him, he will give me a favor..."

Before their call ended, Su Qiao put down the documents and ran to the balcony.

She hugged Lu Mingyuan from behind, put her nose against his back, rubbed him with dependence, and asked, "Hey, who are you calling, Lin Hao or Jiang Xiuqi?"

Su Qiao didn't hear what Lu Mingyuan said just now.

She didn't know that she had guessed wrong.

On the other hand, Gu Ningcheng, who was on the other end of the phone, clearly sensed Su Qiao's presence.
