C381 Endangered

His tone was still as calm as ever, and could even be said to be ice-cold, as if it could penetrate Gu Rou's ears and invade his internal organs, causing him to unconsciously feel a chill run down his spine.

"Ding dong — — Ding dong —"

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

Mu Wanrong, who was on the other side of the phone, seemed to have heard it too, and said: "Alright, it should be them.

After she finished speaking, Gu Rou did not even have time to reply before she hung up.

Gu Rou's mind was in a mess, her thoughts were still wondering why Mu Wanrong had her phone number, why she had been asked to meet him for no reason, was it Ji Chongde's idea, or perhaps it was only Mu Wanrong who wanted to meet her in private, did Ji Chongde know? As for himself, whether or not he should accept the invitation was up to them.

She had a feeling that things were a bit odd and that she didn't want to be bothered by it, but the doorbell, which kept ringing as if it wouldn't stop ringing as long as she didn't open the door, told her to go ahead and open it first.

The ones who entered her sight were three human figures, and in the middle was a woman who looked to be around 60 years of age. Gu Rou remembered that she seemed to be one of the people who was always by Mu Wanrong's side, someone called Aunt Fang.

There was also a man dressed in a black uniform standing on the left and right of Aunt Fang, she should be their bodyguard.

"Hello, Miss Gu. The madame wants me to bring you back to the Ji Residence." After looking at each other for a moment, Aunt Fang spoke up. She looked serious, as expected of someone close to Mu Wanrong.

Gu Rou nodded her head, maintaining her politeness, she asked: "May I ask, what business do you have with me?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not sure. We are only following orders." It was just a simple sentence, yet it had completely wiped the matter clean. Even if he knew, he wouldn't say it out loud.

Gu Rou stared at Aunt Fang, thinking if she should give He Tao a call, but when she thought about what happened this morning, thinking about how she and Ji Chenxi had broken off all ties, she immediately gave up on that idea, and continued to think about it for a few seconds before agreeing to Aunt Fang.

Then, he packed his belongings and left the hotel.

Along the way, the scenery was still familiar. After arriving at the Ji Residence and entering the Ancestral House, Gu Rou subconsciously looked around for the old man's figure, but she was unable to find him.

Moreover, what made her shocked was that Aunt Fang had actually guessed her thoughts and said in an unexpected tone, "There's no need to look for him, the Old Master went to meet his friends today."

"Oh." After a long while, Gu Rou replied in an embarrassed tone of voice.

After half a minute, she finally saw Mu Wanrong.

The old man had chosen to see her in the study room, while Mu Wanrong's guest was in a place similar to a side hall.

The furnishings inside the house were also extremely luxurious and exquisite, all of them were of the same material, but for some reason, Gu Rou felt an inexplicable fear and cowardice.

"How is it? Do you think it's beautiful? This is the first time I've seen such a house, right? "

Suddenly, Mu Wanrong spoke, her voice was still calm, her meaning unclear.

Gu Rou calmed herself down and looked at Mu Wanrong. After about 10 seconds, she answered with a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.

Mu Wanrong pursed her lips, looked at her coldly, and said, "I heard that you and Zi Jie got to know each other in T City? "How do you know him?"

After a long time, he answered again, "Yes, the first time I met him was in the garden on the first floor of the King's Age Building. At that time, I was a employee of the company."

"Oh, so it's like that. What a coincidence."

Yes, she also thought it was a coincidence that he was one of the many men she had treated as a hostess, but if she had known who he was, nothing would have given him a second chance to meet her, and none of the other entanglements would have happened.

Unfortunately …

There were some things that had been arranged beforehand, and if she wanted to go back, she would be doomed to have interacted with him more than ten years ago!

When Mu Wanrong opened her mouth again, the topic had completely changed and her tone had become a little severe, "I admit, I'm not a person who is good at beating around the bush, and I don't even care about hiding my identity. To be honest, I came to you today, hoping that you wouldn't have any interactions with Zi Jie, communication, meeting you, dating, etc.

The reason why Mu Wanrong suddenly sought her out was something that Gu Rou kept thinking about in her mind. Even though it was just a second ago, she was still unable to think it through, and it was only at this moment that Gu Rou's thoughts finally came to fruition.

There wasn't much difference from what she had guessed!

Seeing that Mu Wanrong's face had become even more imposing, her black eyes were extremely sharp and cold. Gu Rou's heart raced.

So it turned out that the words Mu Wanrong said to her a moment ago was not just for a conversation. It was for another purpose, to indicate that he was unable to win against her.

It seemed that the two times Ji Zijie went to look for her, he had already been discovered by Mu Wanrong, which was why he acted to stop them without delay.

Actually, if she had nothing to do with Ji Zijie, what she wished for was, would Ji Zijie himself be willing to do it?

Not knowing when, Mu Wanrong's voice once again sounded out in the silent air, growing colder and more frightening, "Zi Jie is young and vigorous, and would inevitably be bewitched sometimes, not to mention that you are not even worthy to be our Ji Family's daughter-in-law from birth, just based on your relationship with Ji Chenxi, it is enough for you to stay far away from me, Zi Jie. Old woman, I have lived half my life in this world, and have seen many different kinds of tricks, you can't even think of escaping from me no matter how fierce you are."

Gu Rou's thoughts slowly stabilized, and she quietly listened to what Mu Wanrong was saying.

"A wise man knows what to do and what not to do. She knows how to be good to herself. If you know what's good for you, then you can live a peaceful life in the future. Otherwise, this old woman will not give up." After saying that, Mu Wanrong suddenly got up from her chair, and slowly walked to a small room at the side. She pushed open the door, and left a message behind while walking in, "Ah Fang, bring her in."

While Gu Rou was still confused, Aunt Fang had already arrived in front of her. With an expressionless face, she indicated for her to follow him.

A voice from the bottom of Gu Rou's heart warned her not to go, but another voice quickly told her to go, and see what Mu Wanrong was going to do next. It was impossible for her to eat her!

After thinking for a while, Gu Rou still followed Aunt Fang obediently.

Then, immediately regret it!

She had barely crossed the high threshold when she heard a door slam behind her. It was as heavy as something pounding against someone's heart, and it gave her an unnamed feeling of panic.

Moreover, the indoor environment made her immediately feel a strong sense of fear.

In contrast to the spacious and bright hall outside, there were no windows here, only a small energy-saving light. The entire room appeared dim, dim, and bright.

The most important thing was that the decorations made Gu Rou involuntarily think of the haunted house from the thirties and forties in the horror movies. She could even smell a terrible stench from the air.

Oh!

Calm down!

Calm down!

Gu Rou, don't let your imagination run wild. This is the real world, how can you confuse a movie with something?

Not wanting to let her imagination run wild, Gu Rou stopped looking at her surroundings. Her gaze locked onto Mu Wanrong as she tried to speak calmly, "Grandma Ji, what are you bringing me here for? "If you have nothing else, I'd like to take my leave. To be honest, I'll be busy later."

After around ten more seconds, Mu Wanrong finally turned around. Due to the right amount of care, her face was still as white and elegant as ever. Under the dim light, it looked deep and deep now, to the point of being a little scary.

Her cold eyes looked at Gu Rou from afar, and her aged voice seemed to have come from a thousand years ago, "Did you understand the words just now? Do you know what to do now? "

Those words just now? Tell her to leave Ji Zijie? But, what if Ji Zijie was unwilling and insisted on pestering her?
