Chapter 563: The Cold Master Jue
Mu Liuchuan was shocked by this last piece of news.
What he had always been most proud of was expanding the Mu Group’s business overseas. It nearly monopolized the domestic sales of the latest new pharmaceutical production lines from the large foreign pharmaceutical factories.
Just based on this point, his company was doing well in the Imperial Capital’s shopping mall and was praised by everyone.
But now, his secretary was telling him that this overseas partners.h.i.+p that he relied on to maintain his business had actually failed!
How could he accept this?
“Clang!”
The brocade box with the engagement token in his hand slipped to the ground in shock.
The jade shattered.
Mrs. Mu pounced over with tears in her eyes. She threw herself onto the ground and watched with heartache as the ancestral keepsakes fell to pieces. Even Gu Qiqi’s tenfold apology gift was reduced to nothing.
Her heart was bleeding!
“Liuchuan, Liuchuan, quickly find a jade master to see if it can be repaired. Wuwuwu, it’s already turned into sc.r.a.ps…” The reservedness of wealth had disappeared with the pa.s.sage of real money. As Mrs. Mu looked at the jade corpse, she only wanted to bang her head against the wall!
Mu Liuchuan couldn’t hear her at all.
He was dumbfounded. As his business suffered a major blow, a despairing thought flashed across his mind.
The engagement token was broken and ruined. From then on, he no longer had a reasonable reason to persuade Qiqi to marry him…
His career and his happiness were ruined…
He staggered outwards, his eyes empty and confused…
Gu Xuexue looked at Gu Qiqi, who was surrounded by a crowd, standing beside Gong Jue. Then, she looked at the defeated Mu Liuchuan. She gnashed her teeth and chased after Mu Liuchuan. “Brother Liuchuan, don’t be like this. There’s still hope…”
No, she couldn’t let Mu Liuchuan give up. If Mu Liuchuan gave up on Gu Qiqi, then Gu Qiqi would have the time to seduce Gong Jue!
She still wanted Gong Jue!
Gu Xuexue chased after him with all her might!
In the Chu clan’s pharmacy.
Gong Jue casually raised his eyes and glanced outside coldly. He saw Mu Liuchuan’s dejected look as he escaped.
His lips curved into a cold arc. Mu Liuchuan, is someone like you fit to talk about marriage with my woman?!
A new talent in the business world? A capable investor?
Heh heh!
I’ll beat you back to your original form overnight!
He retracted his gaze in disdain and stared intently at the little woman beside him.
Seeing Gu Qiqi chatting casually among the n.o.blewomen, his eyes softened.
That’s right. This stupid woman was giving him face. She was the absolute focus of the crowd no matter where she went. Today, this light purple long dress with diamonds accentuated the highlights of her figure. It made his Adam’s apple tighten and dry up…
He felt like carrying this little woman home!
But just now, he had promised her not to expose their relations.h.i.+p…
Gong Jue really wanted to go back on his word!
As if sensing Gong Jue’s intentions, although Gu Qiqi’s back was facing him and she was talking to the Madam Diplomat, her back inexplicably tightened.
She was so worried that Gong Jue would go back on his word!
However…
In the very next second, Gong Jue said coldly, “What else hasn’t been sold out?”
Yang Xiaolan was so frightened that she carefully pointed at the few ornaments on the counter.
As the n.o.blewomen had already s.n.a.t.c.hed up all the jewelry, they weren’t interested in the ornaments. They were all making an appointment for the next batch of jewelry that will be delivered to Lan Ting.
“Wrap it up for me. I’ll donate it to the charity organizations!”
Gong Jue suddenly gave an order.
The entire venue fell silent.
Oh my G.o.d, Chief was so savage! He actually swept Lan Ting clean!
What to do? She felt that Chief was so handsome again. The expensive ornaments that he had bought weren’t for him to play with but for a donation! He was so charitable.
No one expected that Gong Jue’s actions were to end this gathering as soon as possible so that he could bring his wife home and roll in bed with her.
