Shang Mu gave Gu Jiaru a deep look, as if he was suspecting why she was always distracted. The moment their eyes met, he said, "Okay."

Afterwards, the waiter brought the menu over. As he lowered his head and prepared to order, he asked, "Is there any taboo?"

"Huh?" Gu Jiaru was startled, she instantly felt that she had lost control of herself and quickly said: "Ah, no, as long as it's not too spicy."

"Alright." Shang Mu laughed, "Why does Miss Gu look a little nervous?"

"Is there?" Gu Jiaru retorted. It was only at this moment that she noticed the phone that she had been tightly holding.

If she wasn't nervous, she wouldn't have believed it herself.

She put her cell phone on the corner of the desk, ready to concentrate on business.

"Mr. Shang, I wonder which aspect of Han Family you are interested in?" While waiting for the dishes to arrive, Gu Jiaru raised her head and said slowly.

However, Shang Mu only took a sip of water and did not answer Gu Jiaru's question. "Eat first, and talk about business after you've eaten your fill."

Gu Jiaru was startled, but felt that she had acted too anxiously, so she smiled and said: "Alright then."

She was worried that the atmosphere would be awkward and depressing if she didn't talk about business. After all, no matter how she pretended, she was still a person who wasn't good at creating a conversation.

It was just that he did not expect Shang Mu to have a good grasp of the atmosphere. The dishes that were recommended in time and the questions that were thrown out in time, both of them could make a good conversation between the two.

Regarding this, Gu Jiaru was actually a bit ashamed. After all, as the eldest son of the Shang family, he was still acting like this when facing her business partner. Her background was many times worse than her own, and her mind was filled with thoughts of being bullied.

How could there be so many bad guys?

She told herself in her heart.

When the conversation was halfway through, Gu Jiaru became even more engrossed, and had even completely forgotten about her promise with Han Yunshang. If there was any problem, especially since she did not see Shang Mu at a fixed location, she had to contact him within half an hour.

As a result, after half an hour passed, Han Yunshang could no longer hold back as the screen on his phone lit up.

Looking at the words displayed on the screen, Gu Jiaru's heart trembled. Without even thinking about it, she knew what kind of storm she was going to face next.

"Sorry, I need to answer a call." Gu Jiaru said politely as she prepared to take her phone and leave.

However, right at this moment, Shang Mu suddenly extended his left hand out, and lightly tapped on the button on Gu Jiaru's phone, and as though nothing had happened, he smiled faintly: "Boss, you have to worry about these things, but we have yet to come up with a conclusion, answering the phone is meaningless."

This explanation did not make Gu Jiaru feel relaxed at all, but instead made her more vigilant.

Shang Mu had clearly already seen Han Yunshang's name, but he still "impolitely" cut off his phone call. This meant that he did not care about Han Yunshang's power at all.

After all, both sides were on equal footing. This young master of the merchant house had either raised him to a higher level or had other intentions.

Thinking about it, Gu Jiaru became more cautious, and laughed: "Alright, then forget about it, I hope that Mr. Shang can give me an answer to call."

There was no trace of her words. At the same time, when Shang Mu was preparing to answer, she had already reached out to take her phone.

There were some things that had already caused her some unease. As a result, she was even more unable to control all the things that she was in contact with the outside world. If that was the case, he would be in danger in B City.

"Of course." Shang Mu raised his wine cup and waved at Gu Jiaru.

Gu Jiaru said thanks and was about to drink the plain water in his cup, but at that moment, Shang Mu brought the cup in front of him, smiling charmingly: "Is Miss Gu really allergic to alcohol?"

"Yes." Although Gu Jiaru felt guilty, she still calmly replied.

"Then why don't we try a small mouthful first. If there's any reaction, we definitely won't let Miss Gu drink it again." While Shang Mu was speaking, he had already poured all the water in the cup into the trash can, and stared straight at Gu Jiaru's face, as if he was hoping to find some flaws.

She was instantly placed in a dilemma. If she tried one bite, it would be too difficult to deal with. But if he did not try, Shang Mu would obviously continue making things difficult for him.

"I think it's better if I drink with you. I haven't touched alcohol for many years." Gu Jiaru continued to maintain her manners.

However, Shang Mu insisted on filling her cup full and chuckled: "Can't you help me make an exception?"

These words made Gu Jiaru not know what to say.

"Cooperation with the Han Family is already an exception for the merchants. I only agreed to let me give it a try because I wasted a lot of words with the old man, and I couldn't see the sincerity in your words, "Saying that, Shang Mu finished the wine in his own cup and smacked his lips. He then continued," I am not willing to take such a risk. "

With that, he immediately pushed his wine cup in front of Gu Jiaru.

Seeing that Gu Jiaru did not extend her hand to receive it, he laughed: "Miss Gu would not think that in this broad daylight, there is nothing I can do to you right?"

Even if Gu Jiaru was more cautious, at this moment, if she really doubted Shang Mu's character, then there was no need to continue this business. Thus, she smiled: "I won't."

At the same time, he pushed the cup back. "It's just that I might pass out from the alcohol. It's not good to embarrass myself in front of Mr. Shang."

"If the Miss Gu is willing to pay, then what reason do I have to not pay?" Saying that, Shang Mu raised his eyebrows and pushed the alcohol back.

Seeing that there was still a large portion of food left, but the wine cup had been pushed around, Gu Jiaru knew that it was really impossible to hide from the wine, thus she could only muster up the courage and pretend to be a hero who was about to die, and take a sip from her wine cup.

"My feelings are deep and depressing." Shang Mu urged.

At this time, Gu Jiaru was already extremely unhappy. The aura of a scoundrel coming from the so-called top young master of the Shang family was simply too strong.

Just as she was hesitating, Shang Mu had already raised her cup, causing more wine to pour down her throat.

Gu Jiaru pretended to choke, her face flushed red.

And in the next twenty minutes, Shang Mu never stopped talking about urging others to drink, talking about relationships from business. He always had all sorts of tricks up his sleeve to force Gu Jiaru to "submit obediently".

Of course she wasn't stupid.

However, when she felt that she was being urged to drink, she relaxed.

After all, the person in front of him was not someone like Xie Yiming, who would choose to use despicable methods in the end. If it was just this little bit of wine, she could still bear it and had more opportunities to play the fool and sign the contract.

Drinking behavior could be uncontrollable, so she had more leeway.

Before feeling that she was somewhat muddle-headed, Gu Jiaru had already displayed a drunken state. Her face was hazy, she was about to fall asleep, and her speech had become a huge mess: "Mr. Shang, I can't, I really can't drink anymore."

"Aiya, drinking like this in the afternoon. How embarrassing." Gu Jiaru even purposely made exaggerated movements to make Shang Mu believe that she had drank too much compared to him just now.

She really wanted to see what Shang Mu actually wanted to do.

"Miss Gu, it's not even noon yet." Saying that, Shang Mu stood up and moved towards Gu Jiaru's side.

This action had thoroughly disgusted her, and she had finally confirmed that she had met another scum. He didn't know if the world was too unfair, or if he was unlucky and met trash.

However, if she did not show this "trash" any color, so that he would not lose anything, then wouldn't this trip to B City be too worthless?

She pretended to be drunk, but secretly grabbed her cell phone and stuffed it into her pocket.

"Young Master Shang, I really can't drink anymore." Gu Jiaru's voice was filled with grievance.

Shang Mu's smile became even wider: Didn't you politely call me Mr. Shang just now?

Gu Jiaru raised her head and pretended to have a dazed look.

However, after seeing the wretched look in her eyes, her heart instantly calmed down. She was not sure if this collaboration was a pretense or if Shang Mu and Xie Yang had long planned for her to walk into this trap sooner or later. It was useless to be afraid right now. If he didn't figure out what was on their faces, this kind of thing would definitely happen again.

Could it be that he no longer saw a single customer? This was obviously unrealistic.

"Come, I'll send you back." When Shang Mu said this, his lips curled up.

Evidently, the return that he was talking about, was not the inn where Gu Jiaru was originally at.

How could he let him succeed so easily?

Thinking up to here, she secretly calculated, but on the surface she pretended to be harmless and said, "Hmm …" "Not going."

"Why?" Shang Mu's face changed. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Gu Jiaru.

She pursed her lips and pretended to be pitiful as she said, "I came to talk business with you. I don't want to do anything else."

"Nothing else?" Shang Mu repeated, his smile looked extremely disgusting.

Gu Jiaru knew that if she did not act a little bit more like she was, there was no way that she could escape Shang Mu's eyes.

She just laid on the table and didn't care if the rice soup was on her clothes. She only whispered, "I'm so dizzy."

"Alright, I'll take you back." Shang Mu reached out to grab Gu Jiaru's wrist.

Since she had other plans and couldn't recklessly avoid him, she could only endure her disgust and let him take advantage of her.

"No, I can't. I can't leave." Gu Jiaru stood up along with his strength, but still deliberately swayed a few times before collapsing on a chair. She looked at Shang Mu blankly and said unclearly, "Did you not sign the contract with me? Are you trying to lie to me? "

From the change in Shang Mu's expression, Gu Jiaru was almost certain that he believed that she had drank too much, hence her actions were even more presumptuous. She created the thought that she had already lost consciousness and shamelessly said, "If you don't sign the contract, I won't leave with you."
