The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy Chapter 1269 – : Testing

Chapter 1269: Testing

“CEO Gu really has a beautiful family, I’m sure many people are envious,” Nalan Jing agreed and leaned back in his chair. He added, ” I heard CEO Gu bought a precious love stone some time ago. Might I have the honor of looking at it?”

“I’m afraid Mr. Nalan’s timing is rather unfortunate, as I already turned it into a ring,” Gu Juexi replied. There was no expression on his face as he stared at Nalan Jing.

Nalan Jing smiled and nodded, signaling that he did not mind.

Gu Juexi kept twirling his phone in his hand. He knew that Nalan Jing was testing him, just as he was testing Nalan Jing. Both of them were completely aware of it.

If Nalan Jing wanted to seek revenge for Wen Lan, he might want to kill them so he would definitely be an enemy.

However, if Nalan Jing came to see him for Ye Di’s issue, then they might be able to work out a deal.

Currently, Nalan Jing seemed relaxed and casual. He had not noticed anything from his expression so far.

“I am just curious. Where did CEO Gu get the diamond from?” Nalan Jing asked directly.

There were only a handful of people who actually knew that CEO Gu had purchased the diamond from Princess Pink at an exorbitant price. Those people were all Gu Enterprise staff.

So Nalan Jing did not know the truth yet.

Gu Juexi chuckled, “I’m afraid I can’t tell you, it’s personal.”

“I see.” Nalan Jing responded pleasantly, his expression giving nothing away. “I should invite Mrs. Gu to a meal soon.”

Gu Juexi unlocked his handphone. Suddenly, a text message from Ye Yuwei came in. Gu Tianxin was missing.

Gu Juexi remained calm and continued checking his phone. He replied, “No problem. If the timing is fine, why not?”

Nalan Jing stood up, ready to leave. Gu Juexi got up as well.

Nalan Jing paused to look back at Gu Juexi after taking a few steps. “I heard CEO Gu has another aunt. I am not sure whether it is true.”

Gu Juexi smiled charmingly and replied, “It seems like everyone knows about my family’s ugly history. It’s true, but that aunt is not close to the Gu Family. Even Aunt Gu does not have close ties with Gu Family. I believe the old Mr. Gu made a mistake back in the past.”

Nalan Jing’s stare became more intense.

“CEO Gu is more reserved and tactful than I thought,” Nalan Jing murmured, as if trying to imply something else.

Gu Juexi did not get annoyed with his remark and chuckled instead. “Mr. Nalan is too courteous. In the corporate world, only tactful people manage to last until the end, don’t they?”

Nalan Jing left the place without responding.

Gu Juexi waited for Nalan Jing to enter the elevator before heading back to his own office. He immediately called Ye Yuwei and asked, “How did she go missing?”

The resting room door was intact and there was no sign of a struggle so it seemed that Gu Tianxin had left the place of her own free will.

Perhaps she was intimidated or she did not trust Gu Juexi. So, she had decided to leave.

“She was not here when I reached,” said Ye Yuwei. “I think she left the place by herself.”

She left the place by herself?

Gu Juexi suddenly recalled Nalan Jing’s question just now. It seemed that Nalan Jing was far more complicated than he had thought.

“If she herself is out looking for trouble, then nobody can save her,” Gu Juexi sneered. She was only registered as his aunt on paper. He had no responsibility to protect her at all.

Ye Yuwei had not expected Gu Juexi to say something like that. “You mentioned something very important being in Aunt Gu’s safe box before this, didn’t you?”

It might be a key related to what had happened that year, including the truth behind her aunt’s death.
