"Who are you?"
Shi Zhi had sharp eyes. Holding the room card in his hand, he turned around and saw such a scene. This man looked like someone of consequence.
Gu Tingjun saw that the girl was accompanied by so many friends. He supposed she was out for fun.
"A friend!"
After Gu Tingjun said that, he returned Ding Ruola to Bi Shuang.
Bi Shuang looked at the man in front of her. He was good - looking, but too cold. His face was so pale that it was almost transparent.
With such looks and his expression, he was hardly different from a dead man.
Thinking of this, Bi Shuang suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
Originally, they planned to get up early the next day and send Ding Ruola back quickly, but Bi Shuang simply couldn't get up.
In the morning, when the girls were washing up and getting ready to go home, there was a knock on the door.
It was room service. Someone had ordered breakfast for them.
Bi Shuang was rather meticulous at this moment. She called Shi Zhi to confirm and found out that it wasn't Shi Zhi who had sent it. So she flatly refused.
Unexpectedly, someone came to knock on the door again after a while.
It was a man. He spoke in a precise and proper manner, so he should not be a hotel staff member.
The "young master" the man mentioned. Could it be the man from last night?
"Your friend!"
Bi Shuang gestured to Ding Ruola, who was brushing her teeth.
Ding Ruola's mind went blank. She couldn't remember what had happened last night at all.
Since she couldn't remember, it was better to refuse.
Bi Shuang refused again.
When the two of them went out, Gu Tingjun was like a shadow. The man, dressed appropriately, was already standing in the downstairs lobby.
Obviously, he was waiting for someone.
When Ding Ruola came out, Gu Tingjun strode towards her.
Bi Shuang nudged Ding Ruola, who still seemed dazed.
Only then did Ding Ruola realize the man walking towards her.
The Gu family members? Weren't they supposed to be in Europe?
Because of Gu Qianxue, Ding Ruola didn't have a good impression of the Gu family members, except for Gu Tingjun. Maybe it was out of a momentary feeling of pity.
"Miss Ding!"
"Just call me Ruola!"
This form of address made her uncomfortable, so Ding Ruola quickly refused.
Hearing that the two girls were going to take a taxi back, Gu Tingjun immediately offered to drive them back.
Ding Ruola wanted to refuse, but unexpectedly, Bi Shuang, who was straightforward, had already agreed.
She could only force a smile.
The first half of the journey was okay. Bi Shuang was not shy in the car. She had a cheerful personality and would say a few words from time to time, so the atmosphere in the car wasn't awkward.
Since Bi Shuang got off the car, there had been a ten - minute silence in the car.
"Are you back in China for a new project this time?"
Ding Ruola still didn't give up. She was still thinking about making money.
Mainly because the benefits from the Gu family were so generous that one order was worth ten others.
"I'm back with my sister."
Gu Tingjun did it on purpose. He deliberately tried to lead Ding Ruola to ask about what happened last night, but unexpectedly, Ding Ruola just didn't take the bait.
The words he had prepared couldn't come out.
"Here we are!"
Out of Chinese politeness, Ding Ruola invited Gu Tingjun to come in and sit down.
It was just a polite remark. For Chinese people, it was just for show, but Gu Tingjun, who had received an education in Europe, either didn't understand the custom or pretended not to understand.
He followed Ding Ruola into the house.
Fang Siyan was pacing in the house. The moment he heard the door open, he rushed towards the door.
He hugged the woman standing at the door tightly.
"Where have you been? Why did you turn off your phone? Are you angry?"
These were the standard three questions of a boyfriend.
Ding Ruola was startled by Fang Siyan. She stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "There's a guest!"
Fang Siyan lifted his head from Ding Ruola's head and saw the man standing at the door.
The man was extremely pale, looking listless. He supposed this man was Gu Tingjun.
"Hello, Mr. Fang!"
Gu Tingjun was the first to break the silence.
Fang Siyan was stunned for a moment when he saw the man's outstretched hand, and then he shook it.
"I didn't expect to meet again so soon!"
The man was indirectly referring to what happened last night.
There were three people in that private room last night. Gu Tingjun was also there, but he had returned to the hotel early because he was feeling unwell.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have met Ding Ruola.
Fang Siyan coughed awkwardly twice and glanced at Ding Ruola.
The girl's expression was just confused, nothing strange.
"Come in and sit down!"
Fang Siyan still had to save face. He acted like a perfect host.
This time, Gu Tingjun refused.
He had agreed to come with Ding Ruola just to meet Fang Siyan.
Now that his goal had been achieved, it was time for him to leave.
There should always be some room for imagination, giving Fang Siyan enough space to think.
The person who should leave had left, and it was time for the couple to settle their score.
Ding Ruola was originally the wronged one, but because of what happened last night, their positions had changed.
Now she was the "humble" one.
"I went to see Bi Shuang..."
"No matter what you were doing, why couldn't you reply to my messages or calls!"
Only then did Ding Ruola remember her phone. She searched all over but couldn't find it.
She was about to go back to look for it when the doorbell rang.
Gu Tingjun had seen Ding Ruola's phone on the back seat.
"You played with your phone all the way. How could you forget it in the car!"
He said it on purpose. He handed the phone to Ding Ruola and then left.
Ding Ruola stood there, feeling like a woman cursed by Medusa - instantly petrified.
Any explanation from her later would seem so weak.
Gu Tingjun's words not only made Fang Siyan misunderstand that Ding Ruola had deliberately ignored him but also made Fang Siyan imagine the scene of the two of them in the car.
Fang Siyan's face became even uglier. He looked at Ding Ruola coldly and needed an explanation.
Just then, Fang Siyan's phone rang. Ding Ruola didn't know why, but she rushed over, not to answer the phone but to look at the caller ID.
Miss Gu!
With such an implicit address, Ding Ruola only needed to use a bit of her brain to know that this person was Gu Qianxue, and she should also know that Fang Siyan didn't take this woman seriously at all.
She pushed the phone in front of Fang Siyan.
Fang Siyan immediately hung up the phone.
Did the Gu siblings plan to sow discord in their relationship?
Fang Siyan carefully recalled the rhythm of all the things from just now to now. It seemed as if someone had arranged them.
He stared at the phone in Ding Ruola's hand.
"Take out the phone card. I'll buy you a new phone."
Ding Ruola couldn't understand Fang Siyan's intention. She was so confused by Fang Siyan's actions that she didn't know whether she should be angry or quickly change her phone.
Before she could say anything, her phone had been snatched away by the man.
"Don't believe anything that man says!"
"Should I also tell you the same thing?"
Ding Ruola was red - faced and neck - thick. Obviously, she was very angry. Tears welled up in her eyes. She wiped them with her sleeve, snatched back the phone, and slammed the door out.
"Ruoruo!"
Fang Siyan was also so angry that he was muddled. Seeing the girl run out, he didn't even know to chase after her.
