Chapter 55 Feng Jia was Also Here
Gu Chu had known Lin Yin and Lin Yu for many years. They had grown up together, but she only met Feng Jia later.
Lin Yu put a piece of shrimp into Gu Chu’s bowl and asked her inquisitively, “Are you investigating Gu Wan?”
“Yes, wasn’t she studying at a university in the capital?” She continued, “By the way, is it difficult to find out?”
“Not really. I have a friend at the University of Finance and Economics. I can ask him to check Gu Wan’s academic records first, and then I’ll investigate her background.”
Lin Yu had a solid background in the capital. After he graduated from university, he worked there to gain experience. He stayed there for a whole five years before returning to Haicheng City.
Thinking of this, Gu Chu said, “It seems that I owe you a favor again. It can’t be repaid with a few meal vouchers.”
Lin Yu curled his lips.
Gu Chu leaned closer to him and said in a low voice, “No matter what you find out, don’t tell anyone.”
He didn’t need her to remind him about this. He knew it in his heart. “Okay.”
He was a smart person. Since Gu Chu wanted to investigate Gu Wan and said so, it meant that Gu Wan might not have a glorious past. If she was really used by someone with ulterior motives, it would affect the Gu family and the Gu Corporation.
Therefore, he had to be cautious.
Moreover, he was not a person who babbled.
He saw that she had eaten the shrimp, so he picked up another piece and put it into her bowl. “This Friday, I want to go to the capital to check on the Sky Garden. Do you want to come?”
“Of course.” She was the person in charge of the project, so she had to go.
Lin Yu picked up the wine glass, swirled it and took a sip. “I’ll ask my assistant to send you the itinerary later.”
“Okay.”
Actually, Gu Chu had another matter that she wanted to trouble him with, but she was too embarrassed to say it. “Lin Yu.”
Lin Yu saw the look in her eyes, so he said, “If you have something to say, just say it.”
Gu Chu then asked, “Can you help me keep an eye out for Taoist Wu’s painting?”
“Taoist Wu?”
“Yes, I’ve asked a few friends, but there has been no news. I thought you had more connections, so I asked you,” She said with a pleading look. “Can you help me find out?”
Lin Yu thought to himself that this was not as difficult as investigating Gu Wan.
So he would not refuse. “No problem.”
If he said so, then there must be no problem.
Gu Chu quickly raised her glass. “Thank you.”
The meal did not end until 10 o’clock in the evening
As soon as they left the restaurant, they felt the late autumn breeze. For a moment, they felt a bit tipsy.
Lin Yu looked down at her and knew that she was a little drunk. He asked, “Do you need me to send you back?”
She shook her head. “It’s not on the way. Besides, you’ve been drinking.”
Lin Yu frowned and found it funny. “Who ordered the wine?”
Both of them had been drinking, and someone had to drive.
Gu Chu was very confident. “It’s you! I don’t usually drink, so it must have been you who ordered it!”
She only drank two glasses in total, and he blamed it on her?
He touched his nose. “It wasn’t me. When did I ever order wine when we eat out?”
“How about we ask the waiter?” Gu Chu turned around to look for someone.
She was indeed drunk. The waiter had seen so many customers in a day, how could he remember who ordered the wine?
Moreover, the waiter would not say it to avoid getting into trouble.
Lin Yu hurriedly tried to pull her back, but Gu Chu staggered and looked like she was about to fall. “Be careful!”
But before his hand touched Gu Chu, a pair of hands caught Gu Chu faster than he did.
Gu Chu fell into an embrace, and a faint cold fragrance entered her nostrils. It had a mesmerizing smell.
She looked up and saw a sharp jawline. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and his black eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses were cold and indifferent.
She was confused. “Feng Jia? Why are you here?”
It’s so easy for them to bump into each other. Is this fate?
