UNEDITED
In fact, it was not only the business circle that was concerned about Gu Company and Su Hua’s movements at this moment.
Because the “appearance’ of Gu Yu Cheng and Su Rui yesterday was too high-profile.
Thus, on the next day, not only the invited media but the tabloid entertainment pages had also published the news of Su Rui and Gu Yu Cheng attending the Wan Wei Charity Gala together.
In the temporary studio, Bai Xin Yu, who was preparing to make a comeback in China, naturally saw the news.
Holding onto her phone, she stared at the screen showing the headline titled #Chairman Gu’s real girlfriend has appeared! And the very striking photo of the two once one clicked on the news, Bai Xin Yu’s eyes widened, and her face flushed white.
“Im-Impossible! No way! Gu Yu Cheng won’t have another woman!” Bai Xin Yu squeezed the phone tightly in her hand and shook her head as she muttered to herself.
The manager on the other side couldn’t stand to watch her anymore and took away the phone from Bai Xin Yu’s hand.
“How is that impossible? It’s all clearly stated on the news and Gu Company had released the official announcement. How is that fake?” The manager said as she frowned and looked at Bai Xin Yu that was still immersed in her own thoughts.
Actually, the manager was somewhat aware of this before.
A few days ago, she wanted Xin Yu to borrow the hype around Chairman Gu to step into the domestic market.
After all, people would usually think that the people in the business circle like Gu Yu Cheng wouldn’t pay much attention to the entertainment news that was based on hearsay evidence. What’s more, if it’s like what Siria had said that she had a little something with Chairman Gu in the past, regardless of whether they will be together in the future, the other party will take into consideration their old friendship and would not expose the truth.
Rather unexpectedly this time, Gu Company handled it in a very forthright manner.
The manager didn’t have much doubt about what Bai Xin Yu had told her, and her story about her old relationship with Gu Yu Cheng was completely false.
It is just that there are only two reasons she can think of for him to act in such an expeditious manner. Either Siria’s and Chairman Gu’s “breakup” were very ugly or Gu Yu Cheng had some reason, and it is inconvenient for him to be involved in such a scandal.
Looking at it now, isn’t that the second reason she guessed?
Chairman Gu has a girlfriend.
Moreover, there was one more point. But looking at Bai Xin Yu’s unsightly face, the manager didn’t point out this point.
This photo was not deliberately posed. In the photo, Chairman Gu carefully held his girlfriend, and the two looked at each other like they were speaking through their gaze. Even she as a single dog[1] can see that the two are genuinely in love.
Eh, looks like her last move was a mistake.
“Don’t think about it. Just think about how you are going to get into this variety show.”
The manager wanted to advise Bai Xin Yu to think about how to make a name for herself in China but instead saw Bai Xin Yu still stubbornly shaking her head.
“No, it’s not real. Yu Cheng wouldn’t fall for any woman!” Even less likely for him to act like in this photo!
……
Regarding the situation on Bai Xin Yu’s side, Su Rui naturally wouldn’t know about it.
At this time, Su Rui was in the kitchen, holding her phone that had a recipe on her right hand, and peeling and cutting patterns on the carrot on her left hand.
Su Rui was still a little surprised to receive a call from Gu Yu Cheng at this time of the day.
“Aren’t you at work?” You are not busy?” Su Rui asked somewhat surprisingly.
Yesterday, Gu Yu Cheng told her that he would be working on a few contracts at the office today.
“I have just finished.” Gu Yu Cheng smiled and said.
“Then, have you had lunch yet?” Su Rui asked.
“No.” Gu Yu Cheng said truthfully. After a pause, he asked, “Want to come over?”
“En. Let me consider.” Su Rui batted her eyelashes and asked, “Guess what I’m doing now?”
“What are you doing?”
“I am, Hiss——” Su Rui didn’t finish her sentence, but she suddenly groaned.
When Gu Yu Cheng heard that, his face tensed up on the other end of the phone.
“What’s wrong?” Because he didn’t know what was happening on Su Rui’s side, Gu Yu Cheng asked with some anxiousness in his tone.
In the next second, Su Rui’s voice sounded again.
“It’s fine. I just accidentally cut myself when I was peeling the carrots.” Su Rui said.
As expected, one can’t do things at once, and Gu Yu Cheng was to blame for this.
Originally, Su Rui said this to reassure Gu Yu Cheng, but she never thought that Gu Yu Cheng was even more anxious after hearing what she had said.
“I’m coming over.” Gu Yu Cheng said.
When Su Rui heard that, she couldn’t control and laughed.
“Don’t.” Su Rui quickly stopped Gu Yu Cheng.
“To wait for you to send me to the hospital?” Su Rui raised her eyebrow and added, “What do you suppose the doctor will say then?”
“Hm?”
“Sorry, you came here too late. The wound has healed on its own.” Su Rui softly chuckled and said.
Hearing that Su Rui was still in the mood to joke, Gu Yu Cheng was not so worried and laughed softly as well.
“It is not serious?”
“Don’t worry. It is not really serious. It is just a small and shallow mark that is less than two millimeters and it is already taken care of.”
While talking with Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui had already found a band-aid to stick onto that wound with the help of the auntie nearby.
“You are cooking?” Thinking back to Su Rui’s previous words, Gu Yu Cheng reacted and asked.
“En. I learned it at the school’s cooking society last week while you were away, so it is a good idea to practice it at home.” Su Rui nodded and said.
Speaking of which, the cooking society was full of girls[2] who couldn’t cook, but it had a lot of resources.
For example, the lunchbox that Su Rui was making now was a recipe that she got from the cooking society.
Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes slightly glimmered when he heard what Su Rui had said.
“Did you make it for me?”
“Couldn’t it have been made for my parents?” Su Rui blinked and asked him in response.
Even though the truth was that by now Mother Su had been dragged by Father Su on a hike to the outskirts of town.
When Gu Yu Cheng heard that, the corner of his lips raised.
“I will come over to fetch you.”
“No need. You can settle with your work first. I’ll just have my family’s driver to take me there.” Su Rui spoke again after a pause, “Besides, you are wasting time going back and forth.”
“Alright. I will wait for you to come over.”
“En. It will be very quick.”
Initially, Su Rui was just about to leave. This lunchbox was almost ready. She was just chopping a few carrots as decoration, and all she had to do was to put it in.
