Cheng Lu frowned and looked over, only to see a beautiful mature woman in front of him.
"Isn't this our Gu family's card? Why is it in your hand?" The other party glanced coldly, "You couldn't have stolen it, right?"
Cheng Lu was dissatisfied, but he still maintained a polite tone: "Please return the secret card to me."
"Humph, it's not yours, so why should I give it to you? Did you see it? The mark on it is unique to our Gu family. How could you have it?"
The woman looked Cheng Lu up and down, with a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes, "She looks pretty good, could it be that she stole it because she got along with someone from the Gu family? She's really worthless. She doesn't even steal anything decent.
By stealing a secret card from the National Library, do you want to flaunt yourself as a progressive person? Ridiculous!"
The other party's words became more and more unpleasant. Cheng Lu felt that there was no need to endure this lunacy.
She smiled at the woman.
Then, while the other party was distracted, he snatched the secret card back and handed it to the staff.
"Swipe your card, I want to borrow these books."
"You!!" The woman was furious and yelled at the staff, "Don't lend it to her, this card isn't hers!! I'm going to call the police now to catch you, a shameless thief."
The staff obviously recognized this woman and their attitude immediately changed.
"This is Mrs. Gu. She said your card belongs to the Gu family, which is correct. You'd better wait a moment and I'll call the police."
Cheng Lu almost laughed out of anger.
I never thought that I could attract the police just by reading a book.
Mrs. Gu sneered: "I've seen many women like you who want to be like a dragon and a phoenix. They are all shameless bitches."
After a while, the police came.
Mrs. Gu's sharp voice took the lead: "Comrade police, this woman stole something from our Gu family and I caught her on the spot. This is the secret card of the National Library. She can borrow many precious books. God knows what she wants to do, or what?
Capture her and investigate her carefully."
Cheng Lu said nothing.
She always straightened her back and her eyes were cold and clear.
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and everyone pointed at Cheng Lu.
At this time, Gu Ci came.
"What happened?" He walked up to her.
Cheng Lu was surprised: "You don't get off work in one hour?"
"If you go back early, how could I not come to pick you up?"
Gu Ci looked matter-of-fact, and his cold eyes glanced around, finally landing on Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu was so frightened that her vest became cold.
Damn it, why is this King of Hell here?
"Ah, Ah Ci, it turns out to be you. Did you give this card to this girl?"
Gu Ci nodded: "Do you have any opinions?"
"Haha, it's not that my aunt is harsh. How can a young girl understand these books these days? If she uses your name to show off, won't your reputation be damaged in the end?" Mrs. Gu said dryly.
She pursed her lips, "Auntie, this is for your own sake. I thought she stole something from our Gu family."
"Gu family?"
Gu Ci's voice was cold.
Mrs. Gu hadn't noticed that the aura on this man's body had gradually turned cold.
"Yes, yes, you are the most promising child among the younger generations of our Gu family. Auntie doesn't want to protect you."
Gu Ci looked at her coldly: "I am the most promising child among the younger generations of the Gu family - why didn't I know? Have you forgotten that I became an abandoned child ten years ago, and you have long since disowned me."
Mrs. Gu was stuck, her eyes were darting around, and there was cold sweat on her forehead.
Gu Ci chuckled twice: "Why, now that Haofeng Group is developing so well, you come out and recognize me as a member of the Gu family? Just now you said she was shameless. I think you are so duplicitous and only seek profit.
Shameless. I am her husband, do I still need your nod to give her a card?"
Mrs. Gu panicked: "I, I don't know."
"You dare to call the police and arrest someone when you don't know. You are very brave." Gu Ci waved his hand and explained the cause and effect to the police. He also asked the staff to retrieve the file from the computer system and change the owner of the card to Cheng Lu.
Mrs. Gu looked pale as she watched him finish all this.
"Mrs. Gu, please apologize to my wife."
Mrs. Gu is used to being proud, how could she bow down to a junior?
What's more, she is Gu Ci's wife.
She gritted her teeth and tightened her face: "It's all a misunderstanding. To apologize is too much."
Cheng Lu rolled his eyes.
Gu Ci took in the little woman's vivid expression.
He couldn't help but flash a smile.
"You slandered my wife as a thief, and now you say it was a misunderstanding. You have two layers of skin on your lips. You can say whatever you want." Gu Ci raised the corner of his mouth and held Cheng Lu in his arms. "I want to sue this lady for slander and damage."
Our reputation as a couple."
"Gu Ci! When did I damage your reputation?!"
Mrs. Gu was furious.
Gu Ci: "Don't you understand the principle of husband and wife becoming one? If you slander my wife, you are slandering me."
In the end, Mrs. Gu called the police herself, but she was sent in.
Cheng Lu was like a little rabbit, being led by a man.
The two of them were sitting in the car, and she was sitting on Gu Ci's lap and held in his arms.
Next to it is a pile of books she just borrowed.
Cheng Lu leaned on his chest: "Isn't it bad that you have a conflict with your aunt because of me? What if the Gu family troubles you?"
"It's not like I haven't found trouble before, so don't worry."
The man's eyebrows darkened slightly, as if he was worried, "However, the Gu family's family dinner in two days will probably have to be hard on you."
As soon as she heard this, she immediately became energetic.
She owed Gu Ci so much. Before her father was hospitalized, this man had taken care of him and was very considerate. She had long wanted to repay him, but unfortunately she didn't have the chance.
"It doesn't matter if it's hard work or not, you name it. As long as I can do it, I will do whatever it takes!"
The man chuckled and pinched her pink cheeks.
"You really want to help me?"
"Of course, the book says, a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water -"
Before she finished speaking, she managed to see someone's half face blackened.
"Well...that's not what I meant. I meant that I want to help you. I don't want to be pampered by you all the time and feel like a useless person."
Gu Ci played with the little woman's weak, boneless hands, picked them up, put them to his lips and took a bite.
"Woo!!"
She immediately opened her big watery eyes with a look of grievance.
——Is this guy a dog? Why did he bite her again?
"Who dares to say that my wife is useless? You are the best." His slightly rough fingertips gently rubbed the back of her neck, causing her to shudder.
She took the initiative to circle his narrow waist.
"I heard that Grandpa Gu is not in good health. Maybe I can help this time."
