Chapter 700: He Was Speaking Very Coldly, As If She Was a Stranger
Su Qianxun had bought Lin’er a new year present yesterday. She wanted to ask Long Sijue to hand it to Lin’er. After all, it would be the new year’s eve tomorrow.
However, when she made the call, the phone kept beeping and eventually stopped. Long Sijue did not answer the phone. Su Qianxun furrowed her brows gloomily. She felt particularly dejected.
Five minutes later, Su Qianxun’s phone started ringing. She immediately answered the call. “Ah Jue.”
“Yes?” Long Sijue’s voice had a hint of coldness.
Su Qianxun could sense it. Even though she still did know fully understand what kind of person he was, she could tell that he was speaking to her with an impa.s.sive tone, as if he was talking to a stranger.
“I… I bought Lin’er a new year gift. I want you to give it to him for me.” Su Qianxun felt a pang of sourness in her chest.
“Hand it to Ye Gu. He’ll handle it for you,” Long Sijue said and simply hung up the phone.
Su Qianxun held her breath. She listened to the beeping sound from the speaker and slowly put down her hand.
…
Gu Mian received a phone call from her family. When she heard that Gu Ling had gone into a crus.h.i.+ng gambling debt again, all she could feel was profound disappointment in her cold, numb heart.
“Mian Mian, you must think of a way to save your older brother, or else he would surely be done for this time.” Mrs. Gu was so upset that she almost cried herself sick.
“Again? How many times had I saved his a*s?” Gu Mian wanted to tell her mother that she was frankly out of ideas. If this happened again, she would die before Gu Ling did.
“I know, I know… but what do you think we should do? Just watch some thugs hack him to death? In that case, your father and I wouldn’t want to live anymore.” Mrs. Gu wailed in a harrowing manner.
“Let me come up with something. When I tried to bail him out last time, I exhausted everything I had. I can’t promise I manage to save him this time,” Gu Mian admitted.
She had already sold herself to Tang Zui. ‘Do I need to sell myself again?’
“Mian Mian, I heard from your older brother. He said that he couldn’t touch the company account. Tang Zui is in charge of that. Talk to Tang Zui and tell him about your older brother. He doesn’t owe much this time. Just fifty-million RMB,” Mrs. Gu said.
Gu Mian held her breath sharply. ‘Fifty-million RMB. Not much?!’
‘Yeah, compared to the five-hundred million RMB, it’s a relatively small number!’
Gu Mian wanted to retort her so badly, but when she thought of the frail looks on her aging parents’ faces, she swallowed the urge and simply gave a word of comfort before hanging up.
She knew that she had no choice. Her only option was to bite the bullet and beg for Tang Zui’s help.
She could tell the meaning behind her mother’s words. The latter implied that Tang Zui was in charge of the company fund. It was the first time Gu Mian thought that Tang Zui did a good job.
If her older brother had access to the company fund, then this issue was not just about his fifty-million RMB debt. Worse still, Gu family’s business would be close to bankruptcy once again.
When Tang Zui received Gu Mian’s phone call, Tang Zui was drinking with Si Mancheng gloomily. Si Mancheng was exasperated because a random woman f*cked him while he was unconscious. As a man with dignity, he felt rather humiliated due to this incident. He swore that if he did not avenge himself, he would no longer call himself a man!
He wanted to find that feral chick even if it meant that he had to search the whole world! !
Meanwhile, Tang Zui was perplexed and frustrated. He genuinely did not know what was going on with himself. Every time he saw Gu Mian, he wanted so badly to make love to her pa.s.sionately. Only when he thrust his c*ck deep into her pet.i.te body and became one with her, he managed to ease the frustration within him a little.
When Tang Zui saw Gu Mian’s name on the caller display, he held his breath sharply. He immediately put down the shot gla.s.s in his hand and answered the phone.
