Mr. Gu, stop chasing me! Miss Jiang has become a movie queen!

Chapter 157 A call at midnight is definitely not a good thing

Jiang Ning looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, but Li Xi still looked nonchalant and confident.

She picked up a round-looking stone from the ground and played with it in her hand.

Feeling Jiang Ning's gaze,

Li Xi also raised his own inner doubts:

"Why? Now that you know all this, will you embarrass me?"

Jiang Ning reacted in an instant and said:

"No, I was thinking, let it be."

She paused.

"No matter how many conflicts there are between us or between me and your sister, let's end it. I don't want to drag the grudge between us down any further. It's better for everyone if we stop here."

She threw the stone in her hand casually, and without looking back at her, she walked straight to the exit.

"See you soon."

……

In a remote old residential building, Gu Yuan was wearing a well-tailored suit, which was completely out of place with the surrounding environment.

He looked at the computer screen solemnly, as if waiting for a response.

But no response has been received.

Staring at the computer screen, Gu Yuan had already become visually fatigued and was now drowsy.

With a ding-dong sound, a message came from the computer.

Gu Yuan suddenly woke up, looked up and saw that it was the message sent by the person he wanted to see the most.

"Of course you can, but you have to at least have something to exchange with me. After all, I can't just give it to you for free. It's not that I don't want to help you. In this world, everyone is more realistic."

Looking at the request from the other party, Gu Yuan thought about what the other party wanted and what he could offer in exchange.

He was really hesitant at this moment. After experiencing so many changes, what else could he have to exchange with others?

What's more, he had always been in the dominant position before, so for a moment he was a little uncomfortable with being treated like this.

He calmed down and replied calmly,

"Okay, so what are you interested in?"

While waiting, Gu Yuan picked up a cigarette. These sudden changes actually made him learn these things.

The smoke rings swirled in the air and then disappeared.

Reply from the other side:

"Well... I just don't know if you are willing to give it up."

Gu Yuan's heart sank, and he immediately thought of the worst outcome that the other party had mentioned.

He didn't respond anymore, just waiting for the other party's response.

The clock on the wall was ticking. Normally, Gu Yuan would not think it was a big deal, but at this moment it seemed extremely irritating.

Every stroke tickled Gu Yuan's heart.

A string of ellipsis appeared on the computer screen. After a long while, the other party sent a message:

"I heard that you know Jiang Ning, right? Then introduce her to me, or arrange for her to work in my company. But don't worry, for your sake, I will definitely treat her well."

Based on Gu Yuan's understanding of the other party, he instantly thought of what Jiang Ning might face if she was really arranged to go there.

A thought came into his mind:

"No, absolutely not."

His hands were very sincere, typing quickly on the laptop keyboard:

"If that's the case, then I'm sorry. Don't blame me for not respecting you. We are not the same kind of people. I'm sorry to bother you."

The education he received since childhood still made him maintain the most basic respect for others. No matter how ugly the other person's eating habits were, he could always maintain his proper manners and demeanor.

The opponent was just as Gu Yuan had imagined. He failed to achieve his goal and his defense was easily broken.

Next comes a series of outputs from the other side.

"Hey, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but how can you do things like this? You were the one who asked me for help at the beginning, but now you regret it so quickly. Is this how your family taught you? Oh. I forgot that you didn't have a family a long time ago. No wonder you're so sick."

Gu Yuan stopped watching. He had originally thought that since they had helped them so much, they would take care of them in the future. He didn't expect that they would turn against him immediately.

How disgusting.

Gu Yuan closed his computer expressionlessly, leaned back in his chair, and rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers.

He understood that he was no longer the favored child who had everything. In this game of power, he was just a player who had lost his chips.

However, he would never give up easily, let alone involve Jiang Ning.

Gu Yuan decided to find a new way out. Even if the road ahead was difficult, he was determined to protect the people and things he cherished.

"Father, if it were you, what would you do?"

He even began to reminisce about the time he spent with his father.

He was still young at that time. Under the guidance of his father, he was introduced to one business tycoon after another. His father had only the most basic ideas in his mind. His hope for his son was to make his life better in the future.

When he encounters difficulties, someone will come forward to help him.

However, even this small wish was ruthlessly betrayed.

In front of him was a small white porcelain bowl, which was specially used to hold cigarette ash.

Gu Yuan was lost in thought, and he never stopped smoking, one cigarette after another. Soon the ashes were level with the rim of the bowl.

The smell is even more prominent in the small, unventilated bedroom.

There was a sudden vibration in his pocket. Gu Yuan reached out to touch it and saw that it was a call from Jiang Ning.

He came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment, and then answered the call.

"Hey……"

"Shut up first and listen to me."

Before he could finish the rest of his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Ning.

He also tactfully stopped talking.

"Do you know that I have a college classmate named Li Xi? This thing is really haunting me. I was wondering why I haven't seen her for such a long time. It turns out that so many things happened in the meantime that I don't know about."

Jiang Ning spoke like a string of cannonballs, throwing out a lot of questions at once.

Gu Yuan couldn't grasp the main point of her words, so he naturally didn't know where to start answering.

He replied weakly:

"Um... could you please speak slower? I can't quite follow your train of thought. I'm so sorry, but I definitely listened carefully to what you said just now."

It seems that these days, not only Gu Yuan's appearance has changed, but even his personality has changed. He has even become a little cowardly.

Even Jiang Ning was surprised. Where did that arrogant man go?

She became deflated and had no intention of continuing the conversation.

"Forget it, these things have nothing to do with you. Just pretend that I never called you and you never answered the phone."

Gu Yuan was about to say something when Jiang Ning hung up the phone.

A trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he put down his phone silently.

At this moment, he finally realized that Jiang Ning must have misunderstood him.

And he had to find a chance to explain it to her.
