Gu Jiaru did not speak.
Xia Fengnan still felt that his words were not straightforward enough and continued, "Do you hate him?"
"It has nothing to do with you." She suddenly got up, and with no one knowing where she gained the courage, she clenched her teeth and said to Xia Fengnan.
"What did you say?" Xia Fengnan's eyes were clearly startled for a moment, suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.
When did Gu Jiaru become like this? It really was … Interesting.
"As your foster father, I always have the right to ask." Xia Fengnan's gaze towards Gu Jiaru had already changed a little, but he still remained calm and collected as he said this.
"I'm sorry, I don't think so." She didn't have the mood to continue talking, so she got up and prepared to leave.
She could feel her heart trembling as she did so. In the past, she did not have such an obvious decision to disobey Xia Fengnan, and she already could not remember how much of the wind Liu Yang had blown over her ears, but she still did not mind.
But now, she had done this for a man she hadn't known for a long time.
No, it should be said for a man who had received a certificate despite not knowing him for long.
"Halt." Xia Fengnan's heavy voice came from behind her.
This time, she did not resist, but only had her back facing Xia Fengnan, and did not have the intention to turn around.
"It seems like you're saying that you don't plan on taking revenge?" When Xia Fengnan said this, his eyes shone with a terrifying light.
Gu Jiaru actually thought of Han Yunshang's safety in an instant. She hurriedly continued, "That is not what I meant. Now is not the best time.
"A sense of propriety?" He repeated the last two words again, his lips curled up, and his expression made everyone who saw him feel a chill in their heart. If it was said that someone else's smile was only strange, then he was completely cold.
This was probably what it felt like to fall into an icehouse.
"You're too old, I don't want to remind you about these things." Xia Fengnan retracted his gaze, turning back into his normal appearance, and spoke with a somewhat deep tone.
Gu Jiaru was also happy for him to say such words, so she did not refute him, but only said one sentence: "Alright then."
"I'm leaving first, think about your dead parents." Just as Gu Jiaru was about to leave, Xia Fengnan quickly walked in front of her. The instant he brushed past her, he said those words.
Soon after, he put on his hat and left with his head lowered. His usual way of leaving no trace behind was just a sight that made her feel a little disgusted. It was also the first time she could understand Liu Yang's hatred towards Xia Fengnan.
After being tormented like this, Gu Jiaru basically had no appetite, and was too lazy to eat lunch, so she went back to the company with her head lowered.
The moment the elevator opened, she walked in without even raising her head.
Naturally, the person inside did not have the time to come out. She slammed into a sturdy chest and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Before she could even raise her head, she felt her face turn red from embarrassment. She timidly looked up and was surprised to find that there was a familiar face in front of her.
"Young Master Han." She took a step back, her face tense.
Compared to the Han Yunshang who only loved him tenderly, Han Boyi's cold and detached attitude towards him was even more obvious. Thinking about Hanxiuqing who was still lying in the sickroom and was in a bad condition, she couldn't help but lower her head.
"He's in the office." What Gu Jiaru did not expect was that Han Boyi actually took the initiative to say it.
"Oh …" "Alright." She acted distracted and flustered as she hurriedly hid into the elevator.
However, Han Boyi still did not get off the elevator. Instead, he looked at Gu Jiaru with his cold eyes: "He was looking for you just now."
"Alright …" Thinking about the meeting with Xia Fengnan just now, her mind was in a mess.
"Then... I'll go up first. " Gu Jiaru saw that he still had not moved, and said softly.
However, at this moment, he still stood in front of the elevator and did not withdraw his probing gaze.
If Xia Fengnan's gaze could make others feel cold, what he seemed to contain was a power that could pierce through the heart of others. Gu Jiaru had to lower her head to hide, so that he would not be discovered.
Ten seconds later, Han Boyi spoke up, "I heard that you and Meixi are classmates? Did she introduce you to Han Family? "
"Yeah." Gu Jiaru pretended to be calm, she did not reveal anything on the surface, but deep inside her heart was raging waves. He was originally not good at speaking much, why did she specially come here to chat with him, and even asked about the relationship between her and Han Family.
Did he investigate herself? Or do you know something? Thinking about it, Gu Jiaru panicked. However, after a few seconds, she rejected this idea. If Han Boyi already knew about it, then there was no reason for Han Yunshang not to know about it. she said to herself.
"Interesting." Han Boyi's gaze swept past her eyes once again, as if he wanted to take away the secret that she was hiding in the depths of her heart.
But Gu Jiaru was not to be outdone, she only pretended not to understand, and smiled while looking at Han Boyi: "What's wrong? I had to put in a lot of effort to get into the Elite class, otherwise I might not have been able to recognize Han Meixi. "
"Is that so?" Han Boyi raised his eyebrows.
Just then, the elevator screamed because it had not closed for a long time. He then walked to the side and waved at Gu Jiaru.
Just when Gu Jiaru felt that she was about to heave a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard him say, "No matter what period of time, I'm afraid that you will eventually find a way to get close to her."
After she finished speaking, before Gu Jiaru could reply, the elevator door had already closed. She looked at the black colour that was seeping out of the crack, unable to speak for a while.
Han Boyi only had two ideas. Firstly, to mock him because of money or some other reason, and intentionally get close to the Han Family, could be considered as him crying out for his sister's injustice. Secondly, he already knew a few things, and the words he said just now were nothing more than sarcasm.
Did he know?
This possibility caused Gu Jiaru to tremble with fear, but at the same time, she could not believe it in the bottom of her heart.
"Yun Shang." In a short two minutes, she arrived in front of Han Yunshang and looked at him timidly.
"Outside the door." Han Yunshang did not even raise his head as he reviewed the contract.
However, after saying that, he felt that something was wrong and hurriedly raised his head again. The woman he loved was standing right in front of him. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You really are mischievous."
"Nope." Gu Jiaru stuck out her tongue. All of her previous worries had melted at this moment, whether it was the experiences she had with Xia Fengnan or what had happened just now. Compared to his interaction with Han Yunshang, it was not a problem.
Thinking about that, Gu Jiaru smiled brilliantly.
"I'll get you a glass of water." Han Yunshang said as he stood up and walked towards the water dispenser.
Seeing this, Gu Jiaru felt awkward. She felt that she was probably the only one who could come to Han Yunshang's office to drink water.
Feeling bored, she turned her head and looked around. Her gaze fell on the computer screen.
Before she could take a second glance, Han Yunshang had already walked back to his and held onto the computer screen tightly. He even placed the cup on top of the computer and said indifferently: "The water temperature is just right, we can drink it."
"Thank you." Gu Jiaru did not think much of it, and only took the water, and replied softly.
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Han Yunshang's voice was pampered, but it carried a hint of absent-mindedness. He also looked at the computer that he closed, but his eyes were a little sharper.
What did you do?" As Gu Jia Ru drank her water, Han YunShang started to 'chat' with her. However, this was a very normal thing to say, so Gu Jia Ru became wary of him.
She could not help but remember what Han Boyi said in the elevator downstairs: "He was looking for you just now."
Han Boyi didn't have anything to do with him, so how could he believe Han Boyi's reminder? Furthermore, even if he was really looking for his like he said, so what? It was just a normal fifteen minutes out.
Gu Jiaru had already thought of all the reasons to console herself, so she immediately said: "No, I went to the toilet."
He went to the bathroom.
Toilet.
These words echoed in Han Yunshang's mind. He clenched his fists, and didn't know what to do for a moment. Previously, he only thought that Gu Jiaru might have some unspeakable secrets, but now she couldn't say it out loud, so he decided to settle this issue slowly.
However, he had just discovered that his tolerance might become a form of criticism.
She had actually lied to him. She had clearly left the company twenty minutes ago. Why would she lie to him?
It was just that the people she met didn't want her to know.
Thinking of this, Han Yunshang became even more panicked. Although he believed in his own heart that Gu Jiaru wouldn't hide anything from him, and other men, her attitude made Han Yunshang feel extreme heartache.
"What's wrong?" Gu Jiaru's heart seemed to have tensed up once more. Did he know what it was?
Impossible … Gu Jiaru was filled with suspicions but she could not explain it.
"I'll take you to eat." Han Yunshang was also a little depressed. He had always been able to hide his emotions, but never would he have thought that after being truly angry at Gu Jiaru for lying to him, he would actually find it difficult to pull a smile off his face.
Gu Jiaru didn't know why, but she was a little against approaching Han Yunshang at this time. Thus, she could only say in a small voice, "You go first. I'm not hungry anymore. I'm going back to my seat to take care of some things. "
It was nice of her to use her work as an excuse, but it wasn't that simple. She somewhat did not want to be alone with Han Yunshang and she even wanted to avoid what had happened today, afraid that Han Yunshang would continue to question her.
"Alright then." Han Yunshang didn't know whether or not he would be unable to hold back and get angry at Gu Jiaru, so the two of them stayed for a while longer.
"Han Boyi came to look for you?" Gu Jiaru's heart trembled a little when she said this, but on the surface she did not display any unusual expression, as if she was not worried that something else would happen.
Han Yunshang pursed his lips: "Mm, call me over. They say that Hanxiuqing is not in a good condition, and must see me. "
"Mm, go ahead." Gu Jiaru was still unable to control her sadness. Indeed, everyone had their own possessiveness, but that was just a matter of how much it was. Gu Jiaru felt that she was also an ordinary person, so it was not easy to control her emotions.
