CHAPTER 136: CHAPTER 126 BEAUTY XI

Meng Yan stood up from the sofa, watched Lin Huai Shu leave angrily, and turned to Gu Yanjing saying, "Mr. Gu, should we have someone follow Mr. Lin?"

Before Gu Yanjing could speak, Qiao Yuxian said, "No need."

Meng Yan looked at her, then at Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing didn’t say anything, tacitly allowing her to make the decision.

Meng Yan also remained silent.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him, "Could you print out everything related to Tao Sen for me?"

Meng Yan glanced at Gu Yanjing again, and then immediately said, "I’ll do it right away."

He left, and Qiao Yuxian sat on the sofa, pressing her eyes.

Gu Yanjing looked at her and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Qiao Yuxian leaned back on the sofa, looked up at him, and said, "Nothing, just waking up grumpy."

Gu Yanjing didn’t say anything, leaned down to touch her face.

Qiao Yuxian grabbed his hand and said, "I need to take care of something later, can I borrow a car?"

"I’ll drive you," Gu Yanjing said.

"Aren’t you busy?" Qiao Yuxian looked at the documents on his desk.

"Not busy." Gu Yanjing’s voice was calm and reassuring.

If it weren’t for the documents on the desk, Qiao Yuxian might have really believed it.

But she decided to pretend as if she believed it, smiled, and said, "Then... sorry to trouble you, Mr. Gu."

As she finished speaking, Meng Yan knocked and entered.

Qiao Yuxian released Gu Yanjing’s hand, stood up, and took the printed materials from Meng Yan.

She glanced through them and said, "Thank you."

"You’re welcome, madam." Meng Yan replied with lowered eyes.

...

Gu Yanjing and she went to the parking lot.

Before getting in the car, Qiao Yuxian stopped Gu Yanjing and said, "I want to drive."

Gu Yanjing looked at her.

Qiao Yuxian said, "I haven’t driven in a long time, feeling itchy."

"Not long ago, you drove Ji Xiaoxiao’s car to the hospital. Three speeding tickets." Gu Yanjing reminded.

Because Ji Xiaoxiao had been asking her for money for several days, not only Gu Yanjing, but also Shang Chen, Meng Yan, Su Qi, and Aunt Mei were all aware of it.

Qiao Yuxian: "......That was an accident."

Gu Yanjing looked at her silently.

Qiao Yuxian tugged at his sleeve and swayed his arm, "You remind me from the side, I’ll drive slowly."

Gu Yanjing still didn’t speak.

"Let me drive once, you’ll be next to me, nothing will happen." Qiao Yuxian begged, swaying his arm, "Just once, just once. Ah——"

Gu Yanjing could feel her bad mood, paused, then opened the driver’s door, "Get in."

Qiao Yuxian immediately smiled, moved her hand over his and squeezed it, saying "Thank you" as she got into the car.

Then... Mr. Gu spoke more on this drive than he usually did in a day.

On the day going to the hospital, speeding was due to circumstances.

But today, he discovered, she really does have the reflex to step on the gas and speed up.

And she hates being overtaken by others.

Gu Yanjing sat in the passenger seat, calm as a rock in a gale, occasionally reminding her, "Slow down."

"Pressing harder on the pedal will get you a speeding ticket."

"This isn’t a racetrack, no need to overtake them."

"Hands on the wheel."

"School ahead."

...

After more than half an hour, they finally reached the destination, the car slowed down, and headed towards the underground parking lot.

Gu Yanjing tilted his head to look out the window and glanced at Xi Mei Media’s building.

Xi Mei Media’s building has a very distinctive feature.

On the tenth floor of the building, there’s a terrace.

On the terrace, there’s a statue made entirely of gold.

The statue has a crown of gold on its head, eyes closed, arms extended in a dancing pose.

A ten-meter-tall statue, solid gold, inside and out.

When the building was completed, this statue was so grand it blinded people.

Gu Yanjing took one look before retracting his gaze to look at Qiao Yuxian.

Qiao Yuxian’s car stopped at the security booth, she lowered the window, and showed her phone to the security guard.

After the security guard checked it, they were allowed to pass.

Qiao Yuxian continued driving and said, "Let me show Mr. Gu around my company."

Gu Yanjing looked at her, his eyes gentle, with a hint of something more.

For a moment he was surprised, but quickly regained his composure.

The boss of Xi Mei Media is only known to have the surname "Xi", nothing else, mysterious, even their gender is unknown.

It’s always been very secretive.

Xi Mei Media...

Qiao Yuxian’s grandmother’s surname is Xi.

Xi Wanqing.

He hadn’t thought about it in this way before.

"Well, one thing about me, I may not have many standout qualities. But there are two that certainly do." Qiao Yuxian looked at him with a bit of pride, "One of them is being rich. Very rich. With a wave, Xi Mei could be built."

Gu Yanjing looked at her delighted little expression, paused, and asked, "What does Boss Xi like to be called?"

"Beauty Xi." Qiao Yuxian found a parking spot, parked the car, and looked at him, "Speaking of this name, I have to mention my other outstanding quality."

She leaned closer to Gu Yanjing, looking into his eyes, cupping her face in her hands, "Is this quality obvious?"

Gu Yanjing lightly flicked her forehead and said, "Hmm, more obvious than the last one."

Qiao Yuxian laughed, "When thinking of a name using my grandmother’s surname, I brainstormed a lot. In the end, felt these two characters matched my beauty and temperament."

"Hmm, not bad." Gu Yanjing brushed her cheek with the back of his hand.

Qiao Yuxian smiled again, "Let’s go, Mr. Lin is still waiting to see me. I’m afraid if we delay, he might really smash something."

...

Coming up in the elevator, Qiao Yuxian went straight to the visitor’s room.

As soon as they left the elevator, he heard Lin Huai Shu’s voice, "Tell your boss to come out quickly, I don’t care where he is, if I can’t see him before dark, I’ll smash everything here."

"Mr. Lin, our boss truly isn’t in Capital City. If there’s anything, you can discuss with me, I’ll handle it."

It was He Tu’s voice.

Because Qiao Yuxian is often not in the company, he manages most things.

"I don’t care whether he’s here or not, today I must see him, even if he has to come back by rocket." Lin Huai Shu shouted.

"Mr. Lin, you must be joking, she can’t even return by rocket..."

Before He Tu finished speaking, the door of the visitor’s room was pushed open.

He saw who was at the door, his voice suddenly vanished, staring at the two people standing by the door.

The first thought in his head was, did they really take a rocket? His second thought was, why is Gu Yanjing here too?

Was this matter serious enough to involve Gu Yanjing?

Is today really not going to end well?

Wait, why did they come together?

He Tu stared at them dumbfoundedly.

Lin Huai Shu, sitting with his legs crossed like a master on the sofa, was also stunned for a moment, then uncrossed his legs and stood up, his voice softened, "Yanjing, why are you here? This small issue, I can handle it myself."

Gu Yanjing stood beside Qiao Yuxian without speaking.

"You even brought your little sister-in-law along." Lin Huai Shu said, "It’s so chaotic here, wouldn’t want to disturb your little sister-in-law."

He Tu awkwardly turned his body to look at Lin Huai Shu, then turned to Qiao Yuxian. He even stretched his neck to take a closer look at her.

What did he just hear?

Little sister-in-law?

Whose sister-in-law?

Who is he calling?

There are only four of them, he can’t be calling him, right?!
