Chapter 659: Inviting Old Master Cui
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Boss Zhao, who was half-kneeling on the ground, finally revealed a fl.u.s.tered expression. His eyes darted around. Although he had heard that Old Master Cui and Gu Man had a good relationship, this was not a small matter after all. If he invited Old Master Cui up, Gu Man might fall into trouble.
However, he did not give Boss Zhao much time to think. The longer he pondered, the more suspicious the Ghost King Rakshasa would be, so he could only brace himself and say, “Okay.”
After leaving the office door, Boss Zhao exhaled heavily and quickened his pace. He left the office building in a hurry and took out his phone to send a message to Gu Man.
As for the reason why he did not make the call, it was because he was afraid that the walls had ears and that someone was listening to his every move.
Although he had obtained the temporary trust of the Ghost King Rakshasa, a vigilant person like the Ghost King Rakshasa would definitely not be completely at ease. It was very likely that he would arrange for someone to follow him, so he had to pay more attention to his words and actions.
After Boss Zhao sent the message, he continued to walk forward with a normal expression. Along the way, he kept observing his surroundings, afraid that the people arranged by the Ghost King Rakshasa would notice that something was wrong with him.
At this moment, Gu Man was communicating with the girl. Only then did she know that this girl’s surname was Chen and her name was Chen Xue.
After asking for some other information, Gu Man naturally paid attention to the meteorite on Chen Xue’s neck.
The spiritual energy contained in it was really appealing.
Perhaps it was because Gu Man’s gaze was too hot, Chen Xue subconsciously touched the pendant on her neck. “Miss Gu, this pendant looks good, right? My mother left this for me.”
At the mention of her mother, Chen Xue’s eyes dimmed for a moment, but her expression quickly returned to normal.
Gu Man did not miss this subtle change. Gu Man could not help but feel that it was a pity. If the ident.i.ty of this necklace was too special, it would probably be difficult for her to obtain it from Chen Xue.
She was not the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others. She could only nod slightly and look away. “It’s indeed pretty.”
Unfortunately, it could not belong to her.
Just as Gu Man was about to speak again, the vibration of her cell phone attracted her attention. She turned her head and realized that it was a message from Boss Zhao.
She picked up her phone and took a rough look, her eyes half-closed.
This Ghost King was indeed not brainless. He could actually think of looking for Old Master Cui immediately when he encountered such a thing, but unfortunately, Old Master Cui would probably not give him any help.
At the thought of this, Gu Man couldn’t help but smile. A furry head popped out from beside her. Xiang Yin’s curious gaze landed on her phone. “What are you looking at? You’re smiling so happily.”
“Nothing.” Gu Man put away her cell phone and placed it on the table.
On the other side, Old Master Cui was still a little confused when he learned that Ghost King Rakshasa had invited him. However, after Uncle Li’s investigation, he finally understood what had happened. However, after knowing, he was not angry at all. Instead, he revealed a mocking expression.
The Ghost King Rakshasa was really getting older and older. Did he really think that he would give up on Gu Man to help the ghost market? He did not even think about the reason why he chose to help the ghost market back then.
However, Old Master Cui did not intend to reject her directly. Instead, he stood up from his chair. “Let’s go take a look and see what this Rakshasa is up to so that he won’t harm my granddaughter.”
“Yes.” Uncle Li nodded.
Old Master Cui stopped in his tracks and looked at Uncle Li. “How are Cui Ya and Cui Xuan now?”
Uncle Li’s expression was a little ugly. Ever since Cui Ya did not get off easy with Ziwei Industries, she had been throwing a tantrum and refused to even meet Old Master Cui.
However, their tempers were very similar. Cui Ya refused to see Old Master Cui, and Old Master Cui refused to see Cui Ya. They clearly lived in the same villa, but they had never met.
He was helpless. Part of the reason why Cui Ya’s personality had become so stubborn was because of his negligence. He did not teach Cui Ya the right things, which led her to go astray, and her temper was getting harder and harder to control..
