"It's not just that Uncle Xu's reputation has been damaged. Even Yiyi was kidnapped by bad guys. It's really hard to put into words..." Aunt Xu briefly told Lu Chuanbai what had happened.
Hearing that Gu Anrou had even arranged to kidnap Xu Yiyi, Lu Chuanbai, whose heart was already gloomy, became even more irritable.
He now regarded those two children as the most precious things in his life and wished he could offer them the best in the world.
Xu Yiyi being kidnapped by Gu Anrou must have given the two children quite a scare.
Lu Chuanbai said seriously to Aunt Xu, "Auntie, I'm sorry. I will definitely get an explanation from Gu Anrou."
He had reached his limit of patience with Gu Anrou. It was only out of consideration for the fact that Gu Anrou had helped him massage his legs, but she had broken his bottom line again and again.
At this moment, Ye Shao walked out of the room, smiling at Lu Chuanbai and winking at him.
Lu Chuanbai bid farewell to Aunt Xu, "Auntie, I'll leave first. Please help me apologize to Qingqing again."
After saying that, two bodyguards came forward and carried Lu Chuanbai into the car. Once in the car, Lu Chuanbai looked at Ye Shao, who was sitting leisurely with his legs crossed.
"I asked you to say some good words. Did you?"
Ye Shao blinked his eyes, "I did."
It was just that he had been talking about Lu Fenglin.
Lu Chuanbai thought Ye Shao had been saying good things about him and then asked nervously, "So what's Qingqing's attitude towards me?"
Ye Shao shook his head regretfully. The thin lips that were slightly curled up carried a hint of sarcasm, "Do you think her attitude towards you could be good?"
The two Lu brothers were really smitten with Xu Qingqing!
"Alright." Lu Chuanbai sighed, his sword-shaped eyebrows furrowing slightly.
He should deal with the matter of Gu Anrou first and then go to find Xu Qingqing!
After Lu Chuanbai left.
Xu Yan uploaded Uncle Xu's real handwriting to clarify the matter, and only then did the online public opinion completely turn around.
Tang Li also canceled the cooperation with the Gu family's auction house immediately.
"Mr. Tang, we've been cooperating with the Gu family's auction house for many years. Won't it be bad to cancel it suddenly?" the secretary reminded.
"The Tang family has been completely whitewashed and can develop in the country now. I want to establish the Tang's Auction House. The Gu family is dispensable to me." Although there was a smile on Tang Li's lips, the words he said sent shivers down one's spine.
"Alright!"
Although the secretary still thought it was inappropriate, thinking of Tang Li's decisive character, he didn't continue to persuade.
Tang Li was a businessman who always put interests first, but he had repeatedly broken his rules for Xu Qingqing.
After returning home, Gu Anrou was full of unwillingness. Feeling ashamed of herself, she cried until her eyes were red and swollen.
Father Gu was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking gloomy as he waited for her.
"What on earth did you do? Why did the Tang family stop cooperating with us?"
Hearing this, Gu Anrou's face turned pale. Although she was very panicked in her heart, she still stubbornly said, "How could it be because of me? Tang Li is on the Xu family's side. Such a traitor is simply unworthy of cooperating with us..."
Slap!
Father Gu slapped Gu Anrou across the face, furious, "I've said it before. Don't provoke the Xu family. Why didn't you listen!"
"Not only the Tang family, but Mayor He also called me. When did you go to see him? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
After the Xu family's clarification, He Qingwei sensed something was wrong. He immediately severed ties with the Gu family and called to scold Father Gu.
Then He Qingwei posted on Weibo to express his support for the Xu family in an attempt to repair the relationship.
Feeling sorry for He Qingwei, Father Gu obediently took the scolding and now vented all his anger on his daughter.
"You even caused such a big stir behind my back. I might as well beat you to death!"
Father Gu slapped her once but still felt unsatisfied. He wanted to slap her again, but the hand he raised was stopped by Mother Gu.
"The thing has already happened. Why are you hitting the child? Hurry up and think of a way to solve it!"
"It's all because of your spoiling!"
"Because of that so - called auction only for foreigners she held, the Gu family has long been boycotted by the Chinese people. Now we've also lost our big client, the Tang family. Tell me how I can solve this!"
Father Gu angrily slapped his chest and thought of the Lu family, which he had never thought highly of.
Although he didn't like Lu Chuanbai, he had to admit that the Lu family had a wide network of contacts.
A glimmer of hope ignited in Father Gu's heart. He asked Gu Anrou, "How's your relationship with Lu Chuanbai recently? If it's good, invite him to our house."
"If you two like each other, get engaged and married quickly."
Marrying into the Lu family was now the only way out for the Gu family. He needed to revive the Gu family's auction house.
Even though Father Gu didn't like Lu Chuanbai, there was nothing he could do. As long as his daughter liked him, that was enough.
Hearing that her father intended to marry into the Lu family, Gu Anrou might have jumped for joy in the past.
But thinking of Lu Chuanbai's cold expression today, she couldn't help but lie, "Dad, don't worry. I'll contact Chuanbai about this as soon as possible."
"Has there been any problem in your relationship?" Father Gu asked.
Gu Anrou shook her head guiltily, "No. Our relationship is great. Dad, don't make wild guesses."
"My relationship with you has never been good." A cold voice came from outside.
Just like hearing the call of death, goosebumps rose all over Gu Anrou's body. She turned around and saw Lu Chuanbai standing at the door.
How could this be!
Why did Lu Chuanbai suddenly appear at her door and hear all those words!
Lu Chuanbai's voice was cold and fierce. His eyes, which used to be warm, were now cold, "Do you think I could have a good relationship with the person who kidnapped my son?"
Hearing this, Gu Anrou's first reaction was that Lu Chuanbai was with Xu Qingqing.
But as she recalled Xu Yiyi's face and compared it with Lu Chuanbai's, she had a bold and absurd guess.
This guess made her take a few steps back. She widened her eyes and asked in disbelief, "Those two little... kids are your children!"
The great panic almost made her say the wrong thing.
"That's right." Lu Chuanbai answered straightforwardly.
Since he wanted to win back Xu Qingqing and the two children, he had to first announce to the world that they were his and no one could touch them!
Gu Anrou stood there stunned, her mind completely blank.
If those two kids were Lu Chuanbai's children, then wasn't Xu Qingqing the ugly woman who had slept with Lu Chuanbai that night...
This was impossible!
Wasn't the ugly woman driven away by her? How could she still be pregnant!
All these thoughts rushed into Gu Anrou's mind like a nightmare. The fear of being exposed welled up in her heart, making her break out in a cold sweat.
If that ugly woman was Xu Qingqing, then wasn't Xu Qingqing the one who had massaged Lu Chuanbai's legs!
What if Xu Qingqing exposed her?
Unaware of the situation, Father Gu's attention was all on Lu Chuanbai's rejection. Being directly rejected by a junior, he was very angry.
