There was a bit of probing in his eyes, as if he was searching her mind and the thoughts hidden deep in her heart.
Looking into his eyes, she almost felt like she was about to be seen through by him.
She looked away in a hurry, not knowing what to say or what to do.
At this moment, she was like a transparent person in front of him.
He could see through her so easily...
Hai Yao tried very hard to maintain a calm and distant look on her face, forced a smile, and said lightly, "Thank you."
She thought that no explanation she could give at this time would be of any use.
It's better not to say anything at all...
But what surprised her was that Gu Tingchuan did not ask further questions, but just glanced at the necklace in her hand, and then whispered, "How are you... lately?"
Such distant questions made her feel a little bit sad.
Since when did their relationship become like this?
Ask a stranger: How have you been recently?
She concealed the sourness in her heart and tried her best to smile, "Very good."
She really didn't like the feeling of having to face the man she loved so deeply and ask him how he was doing recently. Even though her face remained calm, she bit her lip and took a deep breath.
, still revealed her depressed mood.
Such an atmosphere made people feel depressed, and she couldn't bear it after all. A very fake smile appeared on her face, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and left. Every time she took a step, she felt her heart become even more sour.
A big wave of sadness poured into her heart, and she tried hard to suppress it. Under his gaze, she left step by step.
She knew that he would never come after her again...
Never again...
****
Why did this happen between them?
After years of bumping into each other, the sweet scene seems to have happened just yesterday, but now, he is like a stranger...
They were alienated and had nothing to say.
Maybe, just not disturbing each other is the best state...
Haiyao sat in the back of the taxi, looking at the neon lights of the city, holding the ring tightly in her hand.
She chose the road, and he just respected her choice. Why should she be sentimental anymore?
Buzz buzz...
The vibrating sound of her cell phone brought her back from her thoughts. When she saw that the caller ID was Xu Yizhong's number.
She didn't answer, and a few minutes later, another unknown call came.
Hai Yao couldn't help but frown, and then pressed the answer button: "Hello?"
"Is it Director Lu? I'm Xiao Liu."
"Mr. Xu is in a very bad mood tonight. Can you come over and have a look? The company has an order this afternoon. The foreign investors suddenly withdrew their capital for some reason. Now Mr. Xu must be very anxious and doesn't know what to do. He shut himself down."
In the room, I was afraid he would do something stupid."
Hai Yao also heard about the investor's withdrawal of capital.
She knew that this would definitely cause trouble, and it was unknown whether the land approved by the Land and Resources Bureau would be taken back. In fact, to put it simply, it would cause the company to lose a lot of money.
She held the phone tightly and said with determination, "This has nothing to do with me. Please don't call me again."
After finishing speaking, he hung up the call decisively.

Seoul, the night is brilliant.
In the open-air bath of the hotel, the man was leaning on the edge of the bath, seemingly relaxing.
At this time, someone came up and whispered, "Jian, Xu Yizhong has been tricked, do we want to continue?"
The man leaning on the edge of the bathtub said lazily, "Hmm", his eyes tightly closed the whole time.
The man in a suit seemed to understand what he meant, nodded, and then reminded worriedly, "If... this matter is known to the boss, he..."
"I will be responsible for the consequences."
The man interrupted him with a look of determination on his face, as if he had been planning for a long time and it was not a sudden move.
*******
Xu Yizhong has not been at work these days.
There are a lot of rumors about him in the company.
Some rumors contain ridicule and ridicule, which can't help but make people feel chilly. As the saying goes, the first bird will be shot.
When he entered the company, he was so capable and conspicuous that no one would be dissatisfied or wait to see his end.
This is a complex society...
Some people say: He won’t take the money and run away, right?
Some people say that he didn’t dare to take the responsibility and smuggled himself into the country, right?
Others ridiculed, "Isn't it said that he is very capable? That foreign investor company is a scam company (fraudulent company), and he doesn't even know it, but he still says how capable he is?"
As soon as Hai Yao arrived at the company, she heard that everyone was discussing with great interest, and seemed to regard Xu Yizhong's matter as a topic for mutual joking.
"Is Mr. Xu running away?"
"If he makes up for all the losses on this order, how much will it cost? It's me, so I'll run away."
"I heard that he used to be part of a big group. Do you remember the old Guangxia Group? That group was so shady and was found to have a lot of money laundering scandals. Mr. Xu seems to be the one who managed that company."
Haiyao just passed by and stood at the door, feeling more and more chilled as he listened.
Although she didn't like Xu Yizhong either, she found it intolerable for these people who usually flattered and smiled at him to say such things behind his back. She coughed slightly, and someone immediately noticed her appearance, and everyone immediately fell silent.
With a loud voice, he quickly returned to his work desk.
She was about to walk towards her office when Xiaoxiao hurriedly walked up holding the documents and said, "Sister Haiyao, Mr. Xu asked you to go to his office."
When she heard this, she was a little surprised. He came to the company?
**
He became quite haggard...
This was her first feeling after not seeing him for three days.
Xu Yizhong mostly talked about work matters. After finishing his instructions, he smiled lightly and said, "Go back to work and accompany me to the construction site in the afternoon."
Although she had doubts in her heart, she didn't ask a single word. She nodded and prepared to leave, but she found that his face was particularly ugly, almost pale...
And he is anxiously looking for something...
She walked to the door and finally couldn't help but look back and found that he was taking medicine.
****
In the afternoon, the sun was still dazzling. Hai Yao squinted her eyes and sat in the car, following Xu Yizhong to the construction site.
It was surprisingly quiet in the car. She occasionally looked at him, his expression calm, and his whole body was cold and a bit profound. This feeling was like returning to the first time they met, and the same feeling he gave her...
She thought maybe he was really worried about that.
Arriving at the construction site, Xu Yizhong went inside with a safety helmet and the foreman of the construction site to inspect the situation. Hai Yao wanted to follow, but because Xiaoxiao called to talk about work, she did not follow.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise over there, which sounded like something had happened.
Haiyao vaguely heard someone asking anxiously, "Mr. Xu, are you okay?"
Realizing that something might happen, she quickly said to Xiaoxiao, "We'll talk about it when we get back. I have something urgent here."
