Xia Tong looked at him in surprise, but he kissed him unexpectedly. Gu Haoran smiled like a cunning fox: "Miss Xia Tong, you will go to jail for killing people. Even if I really want to kill him, I won't be stupid.
Do it yourself.”
Xia Tong covered her mouth: "So you were just scaring him?"
"Well. Then Xu Chen is very stubborn. If you don't scare him well, how can he let go?" He suddenly said pitifully: "Miss Xia Tong, this time I am doing it all for you. You must be good.
Reward me."
Xia Tong was speechless: "How did you know that I'm worried about this recently?"
"That's because I care about you!" He winked at her, "I take everything that happens to Miss Xia Tong into my heart."
He smiled playfully, making it difficult for people to know which words were true and which were false. Xia Tong simply shut up. She was no longer a teenage girl, and she could no longer simply believe that there would be people in this world who would do anything for her wholeheartedly, regardless of the cost.
Good people exist for her.
For a calculating businessman like Gu Haoran, any kind of sacrifice is driven by sufficient interests behind it.
She wouldn't believe that he would help him for no reason, but she couldn't guess what the benefit was yet.
"Actually, I've heard about Lawyer Yi's lawsuit for a long time." He suddenly smiled and said lightly: "Because the heroine of this lawsuit, An Huixin, is the female artist who signed a contract with NES in the past few years.
She was previously married to 76-year-old real estate tycoon Xu Keqiang. Now that her husband is dead, her stepsons, in order to prevent her from receiving the inheritance, slandered her for having an affair with another man and even arranged to take photos. An Huixin is looking for
After lawyer Yi was hired, the lawsuit achieved a breakthrough reversal. It was already a sure win, but now lawyer Yi is being turned over like this——."
"If Senior Yi is forced to leave because of this matter, Ms. An's lawsuit will definitely be lost, right?"
Gu Haoran nodded: "No matter what, Hui Xin used to be from NES. It's impossible for me to stand by and watch her being bullied like this."
"You are a very good boss." Xia Tong concluded.
"He is also a good man." He smiled and stopped the car.
Xia Tong looked at the restaurant in front of him: "This——."
"Although I don't have full power to help you with what happened today, it can be considered as indirectly solving your problem, Miss Xia Tong." He held up his shoulders and raised his eyebrows at her: "In return, should you ask me to
How about a meal?"
Xia Tong laughed out loud because of his serious tone: "It should be——."
"Okay." He held her hand and raised his eyebrows: "Then I will choose something more expensive!"

In front of him is a restaurant full of Chinese symbols. The bright mirror-like floor is dotted with a milky white carpet with light pink stripes and embroidered green leaves. Xia Tong and Gu Haoran are sitting on two hanging chairs similar to swings.
, there is a beautiful long table in the middle.
Xia Tong sighed: "It's rare to come to such an elegant Chinese restaurant to eat. During the five years I lived in France, I was almost sick of eating Western bread sticks."
He handed the suit to the waiter beside him: "I don't like eating Western food very much. If we really talk about eating, no country's beauty can compare with China's eight major cuisines."
"Yes," Xia Tong agreed.
After a while, the dishes were brought to the table one by one. Gu Haoran scooped up a bowl of milky white crucian carp soup for her and handed it over: "This is the specialty of this restaurant. The fish is very delicious. You can try it."
.”
Xia Tong took the bowl hesitantly, but just kept drinking the soup without eating a bite of the fish. Sensing that he was looking at her, Xia Tong raised her head and met his thoughtful gaze.
"Miss Xia can't spit out fish bones?" He held his chin and asked with interest.
Xia Tong choked, and a mouthful of hot soup went down her throat: "Cough cough cough..." She stroked her chest and coughed until her face turned red.
The man in front of her chuckled and handed her a pure white handkerchief: "Be careful."
Xia Tong covered her mouth with a handkerchief and nodded sheepishly: "Yes."
Ever since he ate fish once when he was a child, a fish bone stuck in his throat, and he had to go to the hospital to remove it. His throat was swollen for more than a week, so Xia Tong began to stay away from fish.
Gu Haoran smiled, took out the fish from her bowl, and put it on the small plate in front of her. Xia Tong was confused, but she was surprised when she saw him lowering his head and carefully picking up the fish bones.
.
His hands were white and slender, and his nails were trimmed cleanly. It was obvious that he was a well-educated man. His drooping eyelashes formed a row of thick shadows on his lower eyelids, and his eyes under the shadows were focused and serious.
He removed the fish bones one by one and put them into her bowl again: "Okay, you can eat."
Xia Tong looked at him again, carefully thinking about every expression on his face, wanting to explore the deeper meaning behind his expression.
Unfortunately, there is nothing.
She stood up suddenly, "Sorry, Mr. Gu, I want to go to the bathroom."
After she finished speaking, she left in a hurry without waiting for his answer, as if she was running away. Not long after she left, the cell phone on the table rang.
Gu Haoran glanced at the three words flashing on it - Qin Mujue.
The man's cold lips raised, his smile filled with dangerous anger and ferocity. He reached for the phone and pressed the power button.

Lake Garden Villa.
There was no one in the empty house, and it was pitch dark. The dining table in the center of the living room had obviously been carefully arranged. Red wine, candlelight, roses, and food that was gradually getting cold...
In the darkness, a man sat alone on a leather sofa, his handsome face full of sinisterness, making the air around him freeze and become frosty.
The luxurious and empty environment makes people feel depressed even more.
The man's gloomy gaze slowly passed over the rim of the wine glass, and even the luster emitted by the transparent glass was so lonely. He raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
A woman's voice came repeatedly on the answering machine.
"Mu Jie, why do you want to break up? I will never agree to it, no way!"
"Mu Jie, do you have time tonight? Let's have a good talk?"
"Mu Jue, I went to Di Sheng to look for you several times today. Are you trying to avoid me on purpose?"
"Mu Jie... Mu Jie... Mu Jie..."
"……."
He turned off the answering machine and took another sip of wine.
