Chapter 805 Not to forget Gu Yating's status

The CEO of S3 Company, Xiaosi, was in his office and was calmly reading through the mess on social media. His expression seemed placid but his frigid gaze had a different story to tell. All the finger pointing and blaming at Chyou was more than what he could handle.

The door knocked and his secretary half entered the office. "Sir, Mr. Gu is here to meet you."

Gu Rong?

"Hm. Send him in."

She nodded and closed the door. A moment later, it opened again and Yating stepped in. "Uncle Zhu."

Xiaosi's eyes slightly widened in surprise. "Ah. By Mr. Gu, I thought that it was Gu Rong. Anyway, please sit. What brought you here?"

"I think you know what," he grimly said. "I just came to apologize to you. If not for me, then all this nonsense wouldn't have floated around Chyou. I didn't know things would have taken this turn."

Xiaosi raised his brow. "I read your statement."

He cleared his throat. "I am sorry if you feel that I was overstepping my boundaries..."

"You didn't. That's why I am wondering why you came to apologize. You are right in what you said. So why the guilt now?"

For some reason, Yating couldn't meet his gaze. Yet he smiled and said, "Chyou is your precious daughter, after all. I wouldn't mind if you have murderous intentions towards me."

He chuckled. "I have murderous intentions but not towards you."

Yating paused. "Are you talking about the one who took the pictures?"

"Yes. The one who had lots of free time to snoop around last night and then make headlines out of it the next day."

His chilling smile was akin to bringing the Arctic inside the S3. The chill in Yating's eyes matched the iciness of his smile as he said, "The other reason I am here is to ask you about that person. Was it just some paparazzi?"

"A mere paparazzi to target MY daughter?"

Yating coughed.

"I believe the media industry knows better than that."

"So who was it?"

"That's what I am already on it. It won't take up much time," he smiled. "By the way, what will you do if you know about that person?"

Yating blinked once. "Drop the same message as you I suppose. I work in Dream High, but I don't want people to forget that I am GU Yating."

"Hoooo. I thought you disliked the status of being the heir."

He walked towards the elevator and tapped on the green phone icon. He waited. It was at the last ring that she picked it.

"Hey."

Yating stopped in his way and frowned. "What happened to your voice, Chyou?"

It was after a pause she answered. "My throat is not well. I think it was because of the ice cream."

Yating's eyes narrowed. He thought for a moment and said, "I am sending you an address. Meet me there in thirty minutes. Don't worry about any sneaky shots this time. I know that place. It's safe."

"I cannot-"

"I won't hear a no for an answer. Bye."

Yating's heart pounded in his chest with a bad foreboding as he hung up.

Why isn't Chyou feeling alright?

—

Yating looked at his watch and impatiently waited. It was more than thirty minutes now, but Chyou hadn't arrived yet. He was about to ring her a call when she finally arrived. He heaved a sigh of relief.

"Finally."

Chyou sat opposite him and smiled, albeit a little weakly. "What is this place?"

"It's a restaurant where Dad and I used to come often when I was kid. The food is great here."

"It's beautiful and kinda feels nostalgic...even though it's my first time here."

"It has that vibes."

Yating noticed her tense body movements and her gaze that looked far from her usual cheerful self.

"I know things messed up a lot within just a few hours. I am sorry you have to hear such nonsense. Are...are you okay?"

Chyou pursed her lips.

He quickly said, "It's great that Cheng Yin came forward. Things have calmed down a lot, right?"

She said nothing.

Yating surmised there was no point in beating around the bush. So he asked, "Maybe the right question is if Cheng Yin really alright with what happened?"

She stiffened and noticing her reaction, he wryly smiled. "I guess not."
