When An Ruyou was still just Qiao Ruoyou, she already had many years of experience in business, so she had a deep understanding of the various rules and methods to operate them.

Now that Ann's had encountered this kind of situation, he had to find another enterprise with the same strength as Andersen Group, to correct his reputation. This was the most effective and efficient way to do things.

Furthermore, An Ruyou had thought of a way to do charity, which required an alliance with other businesses.

An Ruyou didn't really want to cooperate with Ye Yi and the Yeh's group, because this would still cause Ye Yi to misunderstand, so he still needed Ye Yi to be responsible for this matter.

It just so happened that after He Chengyu returned from abroad, he delivered himself to this place and wanted to invite An Ruyou for a meal. It was also to pay attention to An Ruyou and Andersen Group's situation.

An Ruyou didn't really want to go. After all, she had just heard the rumors about him and Ye Yi not too long ago. If she was caught entering the restaurant with He Chengyu now, An Ruyou herself wouldn't be able to wash away the rumors.

Although An Ruyou had a clear conscience, she still did not want to experience this kind of thing again.

However, An Ruyou was unable to endure He Chengyu's repeated invitations, and He Chengyu also knew of An Ruyou's concerns. Hence, he repeatedly guaranteed that he would definitely find a private clubhouse with a high degree of privacy, and wouldn't let anyone who wanted to bid for it, only then did An Ruyou agree to He Chengyu's invitation.

On the night of dinner, because An Ruyou was still outside discussing matters, she did not let He Chengyu come and pick him up. Instead, she went to the meeting place the two had agreed upon.

The elevator here were all transparent, and the entire place had a golden splendor to it, making it able to see everything clearly. Therefore, when An Ruyou was still inside the elevator, she saw He Chengyu sitting on the seat in front of the gigantic french window.

He Chengyu seemed to have felt An Ruyou's gaze and looked in the direction of the elevator. After seeing An Ruyou who was in the elevator, He Chengyu immediately left his seat and went to the front to welcome him.

An Ruyou enjoyed He Chengyu's attention somewhat, so she didn't reject He Chengyu's arm that was reaching over to him. Instead, she naturally placed his hand on He Chengyu's straight arm and politely asked: "Long time no see, have you had a smooth trip?"

"Of course, everything went smoothly. Since you're so concerned about me, everything went smoothly for me." He Chengyu seemed to be really happy.

Even An Ruyou was amused by He Chengyu's words, "Looks like the Gen Ho is going to make a move. Since it's a success, how would I dare to try it …?"

As He Chengyu and An Ruyou spoke, they arrived in front of the seat that He Chengyu had previously occupied.

He Chengyu first pulled out a chair for An Ruyou, then returned to his side. When the waiter saw that He Chengyu had returned, he went up and asked him if he wanted to serve the dishes. He Chengyu nodded slightly and the waiter quickly left.

An Ruyou looked at the surroundings of the restaurant and felt satisfied, "The atmosphere here is good, how come I've heard of it before?" There were also people playing piano and violin.

This is a restaurant under our Ho Group, its membership rules are more strict, and it hasn't been publicized too much, only a few people know that, but as long as you like it, that's fine, if you like it, then you can come often.

Just when An Ruyou didn't know how to reply, He Chengyu also didn't wait for a reply. He turned his head slightly, and picked up an exquisite small bag from the seat beside him, and passed it over to An Ruyou. "This is your present …"

An Ruyou was a little taken aback, but sshe did not reject He Chengyu. In the end, He Chengyu handed over a bag to him, and after opening it, he discovered that inside was a new necklace made from a luxurious brand.

Although it was not available for sale in the country, An Ruyou liked this necklace. An Ruyou had originally planned to buy it herself after it was available for sale in the country, but as if she knew what An Ruyou was thinking, she directly brought it back for An Ruyou.

"Eh? It's this money chain. I just released it a few days ago. How do you know I like this? " An Ruyou did not reject, but found it strange.

"Actually, I don't know either. I thought of you the moment I saw this necklace, so I brought it back for you. I didn't ask for your suggestion, so it's fine as long as you like it."

After He Chengyu gave the necklace to An Ruyou, the waiter also brought over the dishes that He Chengyu had prepared earlier.

During the meal, He Chengyu first told An Ruyou a few interesting things about how he had travelled abroad. Afterwards, he began to ask An Ruyou if everything went smoothly for him in handling those things these few days.

An Ruyou did not exaggerate the difficulty of his experiences, but she did not deliberately hide it either. She only shared the key thing that happened with He Chengyu.

He Chengyu did not seem to intentionally help An Ruyou, it was just that when An Ruyou mentioned that she wanted to attend a charity banquet recently, He Chengyu said naturally, "The day after tomorrow, there will be a large donation event, and it will be rather formal. Furthermore, it will have a great influence, are you going to participate?"

An Ruyou knew that there were benevolent banquets that only open for certain people. Even if it was him, some people that she could not get to know, she would still need to rely on He Chengyu.

"I don't know, what dinner? I... Can I go? " An Ruyou still asked He Chengyu first.

"If you haven't received the invitation, you shouldn't be able to. However, I just happen to lack a suitable female companion. Are you willing to be condescending?" He Chengyu said to An Ruyou with a smile.

If An Ruyou still refused now, then it would seem a little hypocritical, so An Ruyou easily agreed to He Chengyu's words: "Alright, then thank you."

"You don't have to be so polite with me, right?"

He Chengyu and An Ruyou were chatting and laughing at the side. Maybe it was a combination of handsome men and beautiful women, but they were too eye-catching.

However, everyone was only appreciating it with goodwill. After a few glances, they all retracted their gazes and continued to chat with their friends.

At the back of An Ruyou and He Chengyu was a table full of customers. They were two young and beautiful women who would only glance at An Ruyou and He Chengyu because they were curious in the beginning. However, one of the girls, after seeing He Chengyu's face clearly, changed the expression on his face from a novel one to one of doubt.

She leaned forward and asked her comrade, "Qi Qi, look at that man at the table in front of us, is she Mo Qian's former boyfriend?"

The girl called Qi Qi, who was originally eating the dessert with relish, immediately put down her spoon after hearing the girl's words. She pretended not to notice anything and turned to look at He Chengyu and An Ruyou.

Qi Qi was a little more familiar with He Chengyu, so she quickly confirmed He Chengyu's identity. "That's He Chengyu, I heard that Mo Qian has been looking for He Chengyu these past few days, but she never received any news of He Chengyu, I never thought that we would bump into him …"

These two little girls were both Mo Qian's friends. Although they might not be friendly with each other, and they had only known each other because of the family's interests, it was precisely because of this interest that they were willing to do things for Mo Qian.

After discussing for a while, the two little girls took out their phone, planning to secretly take a picture of He Chengyu and An Ruyou eating dinner, and then send it to Mo Qian later on.

However, just as they turned on the camera on their mobile phones, a staff member on the side walked up to them politely and said, "Excuse me, ladies. It is forbidden to take photos here. Please turn off your camera. Thank you for your cooperation."

The two weren't willing to give up on such a good opportunity and even argued, "Then I can't even take my own life anymore?"

Although the two of them had explained it like this, the waiter still looked at them politely and firmly. He was waiting for them to turn off the camera on his phone, otherwise, he would definitely not leave.

Qi Qi and her friend had no other choice but to turn off the phone unwillingly.

However, Qi Qi still did not give up. She told Mo Qian through WeChat that she saw He Chengyu eating with a girl at this restaurant in the sky.

To Mo Qian, this was indeed a timely rain, because after the last time Mo Qian brought out her own father, she did not manage to suppress He Chengyu, nor was it able to change He Chengyu's mind, Mo Qian's heart started to become flustered.

But Mo Qian did not believe that she had done something wrong, or that her charm could not attract He Chengyu's attention, there must be someone else that attracted his attention, so Mo Qian wanted to investigate who exactly it was that had held He Chengyu back.

Mo Qian found a few private detectives, but she did not know if it was because she did not have enough money, or because the ability of these so-called private detectives was not good enough, but in the past week, Mo Qian had not received any useful information, only information that she had long known about He Chengyu.

Such a result even made Mo Qian suspect that she was wrong, but when she thought of the heartless words that He Chengyu had said that day, Mo Qian did not want to easily give up on her investigation.

Just when Mo Qian was at a loss of what to do, a new message suddenly appeared in his WeChat. Mo Qian thought that she had found a private detective to send a message, and hurriedly opened his WeChat, but was disappointed to find that it was from her little sister, Qi Qi.

Originally, Mo Qian did not want to go back, because she guessed that she was probably looking for her to go shopping or have a meal. However, these few days, Mo Qian was not in the mood to engage in any sort of entertainment.

However, Mo Qian originally had nothing to do, so she still opened the unread message on her WeChat. Qi Qi sent four or five messages at once, and when Mo Qian had finished reading all of them, she immediately became spirited.

It was truly like looking for a broken iron shoe, obtaining it effortlessly, but to think that Qi Qi, the little girl, would coincidentally bump into him.

Mo Qian was not bored anymore. After she asked for the restaurant's address, she immediately started to make herself up, thinking that she would meet He Chengyu by chance later, and see the girl beside He Chengyu again.

However, Mo Qian was in a hurry. When she arrived at the restaurant, he saw that the place where He Chengyu was originally sitting was already empty. Only Qi Qi and the other girls were waving at him.

Mo Qian was only thinking of He Chengyu now, so he didn't want to exchange pleasantries with them, but since she was already here, she didn't say anything more and straightforwardly paid the bill for their table. She then asked Qi Qi: "Qi Qi, where is He Chengyu? Why didn't I see him? "

"Hey, He Chengyu, he just left."
