Chapter 867: Chapter 867: Was the First Time Painful? (Part 1)
Gu Annan was holding his phone, planning to walk out, “Let’s talk outside.”
Out of the corner of Mu Xing’s eye, she spotted a figure in the hall that made her grit her teeth with anger at first sight. Her eyes widened instantly in that direction.
This damn guy!
“Mu Xing?” Gu Annan’s questioning voice came from behind.
Mu Xing immediately snapped back, “Young Master Gu, I’m coming right out.”
Gu Annan turned his head, looking in the direction she had just gazed at.
Bai Lingyun and Lu Wanwan were still at some distance away, understanding what it meant to avoid suspicion, always keeping a low profile.
Otherwise, if Grandma saw, she would be displeased in her heart.
“If there’s something, talk outside.” Gu Annan retracted his gaze and was about to walk out when he noticed Mu Xing’s expression.
After stepping through the doors, Mu Xing composed herself and looked up, only to see Gu Annan’s expression a bit odd.
“Young Master Gu, what’s wrong?”
Gu Annan replied indifferently, “Nothing, just tell me about the things I asked you to handle.”
Mu Xing nodded, “From what I heard, Xue Ru and her people will be coming tomorrow. But clearly, it’s not to apologize, Young Master Gu. She hates you very much.”
“No kidding. Get to the point.”
“Furthermore, after Gu Yunsi’s… health improved, Miss Shuman visited their house.” Mu Xing thought about the scene she saw, making her feel truly nauseous, hoping this kind of task wouldn’t come again, “From what I heard, they didn’t tell Shuman about what happened with Gu Yunsi, but secretly egged her on, not letting her give up on this marriage alliance.”
Gu Annan stood with hands behind his back, speaking coldly, “Do you know the specific details?”
Mu Xing shook her head regretfully, “I don’t even know if Miss Shuman agreed. They don’t seem to be that close, otherwise they wouldn’t need to hide Gu Yunsi’s circumstances. I assume they’re not just trying to get closer to you through Shuman this time.”
“Knowing full well their future is uncertain, they still hide such a big issue from Shuman, encouraging her to continue being the young mistress of the Gu Family. Apart from being afraid of losing face, they probably also intend to use Shuman as a means of revenge.”
“If Miss Shuman finds out that Gu Yunsi suffered such a great setback, she probably wouldn’t dare to have any more thoughts. Otherwise, once it fails, it would be the point of no return. It’s a pity that because their relationship isn’t close enough to be tied together, Xue Ru only continues to imply that Gu Yunsi is ill and couldn’t attend the family banquet. Shuman didn’t state her position, it seems she just went to visit.”
“However, just to be safe, I’ve already had someone investigate what Shuman has recently done or is about to do. I’ll be watching her closely tomorrow.”
Gu Annan nodded, “You know what to do.”
Such a small matter wasn’t worth his personal involvement of too much thought.
“Bai Lingyun…” he began.
Mu Xing’s expression changed, “Young Master Gu, you’re not going to send me to follow him again, are you?”
“Can’t you?” Gu Annan hadn’t intended to say that initially.
Back then, he had Mu Xing take some photos just to expose the two of them, to use it as leverage to keep Lu Wanwan from getting too close to Bai Lingyun.
Now, it was no longer necessary; she was his, couldn’t run away.
“Young Master Gu, I’ve already been exposed.” Mu Xing said, frustrated, “He’s too vigilant, you should send someone else.”
“Even if you were discovered, he didn’t do anything to you, making you a pretty good candidate.” Gu Annan gazed at her.
