Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons-Chapter 726: Giving Out Candy

Upon seeing Guo Yun’s appearance, Guo Jinnian felt quite pleased.

She couldn’t be bothered to quibble with Guo Yun, moreover, as Xiang Youyou had apologised, she curiously asked, "What were you asking Hongwei about?"

Xiang Youyou spoke honestly: "Well, we wanted to ask Mr. Gu about someone."

Xiang Youyou didn’t initially want to bring this up after finding out about Guo Jinnian’s identity, but if she didn’t mention it at this point, Guo Jinnian might misunderstand and think she was here for Mr. Gu as well.

If she was also mistaken for a romantic rival, it would not bode well for her family’s business.

After all, Guo Jinnian isn’t just a figurehead bearing the title of Mr. Gu’s fiancée.

She is also Gu Hongwei’s fiancée.

Hence, it was crucial for her to appear as though she was legitimately here for business and had no ulterior motives for Mr. Gu.

"Who are you asking about?" Guo Jinnian grew more curious.

"We just wanted to know if Mr. Gu knows someone named Cheng Feng." Afraid that Guo Jinnian might overthink, she quickly clarified: "It’s not me who wants to know. My father asked me to inquire about this."

Gu Hongwei knitted his eyebrows, "What are you asking him about?"

There were no business ties between Cheng Feng’s business and the Xiang family.

Xiang Youyou shook her head, "I’m not quite sure."

Guessing that Gu Hongwei indeed knew Cheng Feng but seemed unwilling to talk about it, Xiang Youyou tactfully refrained from probing further.

"Mr. Gu, given that you are quite busy, we won’t intrude further. We are genuinely sorry for what happened earlier," she said.

With that, she signaled Guo Yun, and the two of them left Gu Hongwei’s office one after the other.

The female staff member also tactfully exited the room, even taking the liberty to close the office door on her way out.

Guo Jinnian pouted and quipped sarcastically: "Mr. Gu, you really are quite popular with the girls. Two of them came looking for you together; what a charmed life you lead. I’m actually quite envious."

Gu Hongwei, recognizing Guo Jinnian’s jealousy, explained: "I barely know them. I met them a few times at dinner parties, they were the female companions of Mr. Xu and Mr. Zhang. I didn’t expect they would come here."

Their intentions were pretty obvious and Gu Hongwei had noticed them; hence, he explained in order to prevent a misunderstanding with Guo Jinnian.

Guo Jinnian snorted, "I’ve met them before. Yaoyao and I were shopping for clothes when they went out of their way to cause trouble. We got into an argument and they even tried to have someone beat us up."

Hearing this, Gu Hongwei frowned, "They tried to have someone attack you?" freёweɓnovel.com

"Yes," Guo Jinnian replied, "Although I wasn’t scared at the time, Yaoyao didn’t want to cause any trouble, so we left."

Gu Hongwei said, "Yaoyao did the right thing. You should not act impulsively either. Although they can’t beat you, if they outnumber you, you’re the one who will suffer."

Gu Hongwei deeply believed in the saying, "there is always someone better". He didn’t want Guo Jinnian to be hurt.

Guo Jinnian scoffed, "They dare to touch me?"

Seeing that she was not receptive, Gu Hongwei began to earnestly advise her against impulsiveness, to avoid physical confrontation, least she suffer a loss, which made Guo Jinnian think he was talking too much.

"When did you start becoming so long-winded? I heard that after Dr. Si got married, he started talking too much. I thought, maybe it was just his character. Seems like being around men really changes them. We’re not even married yet and you’re already so verbose. How will it be in the future? Men shouldn’t be so long-winded."

Gu Hongwei was helpless. He was only being verbose because he was worried about Guo Jinnian.

Seeing that she didn’t like to listen, he quickly changed the topic: "I’m going to be quite busy these next few days. Buy more candy tomorrow, then I’ll give the candy to Xiaozheng to distribute to the staff."
