Chapter 93: He actually brought Shen Luoan here

Zhou Yuanfeng glanced at Wen Niannan, who didn’t look very well, and so he asked with worry, “Niannan, let’s go to the second floor, there are too many people here, it’s noisy.”

“Okay.”

Sure enough, there weren’t many people up here, only a few people chatting and drinking. Wen Niannan sat on the couch by the stairs.

“Aunt told me about Mr. Jiang’s announcement of the project at the banquet, they asked the people from the Gu Corp to say a few words, and A Sheng isn’t here, can you go up?

Wen Niannan was shocked when he heard that. He quickly lowered his head, “No…no, what am I going to say? I don’t know anything about the company. Yuanfeng, you can go, how can I speak for the Gu Corporation when I’m not even part of the company?”

Zhou Yuanfeng expected that Wen Niannan would refuse, but still felt the need to ask his opinion, so he nodded and agreed.

Not far downstairs, a group of people was surrounding a man who was talking and laughing loudly. Zhou Yuanfeng squinted his eyes and looked over, it was Qin Qibai.

Some people in the Qin family, of course, hurried to fawn, but Qin Qibai downstairs still had that arrogant and high-and-mighty attitude.

“Little Mr. Qin, how is your father’s health? Why isn’t he here?”

“Little Mr. Qin, your recent investments have made a lot of money, right? You’re so smart as always..”

“I heard that Mr. Jiang is going to announce the partners of the new project today. I’m wondering which company would get it, but it’s probably going to be you, congratulations!”

When Qin Qibai heard about the new project, the smile on the corner of his mouth instantly solidified, his face slowly became uglier.

“Yeah, that project is quite a fat piece of meat, congratulations Mr. Qin!”

But someone suddenly asked, “Huh? I heard Mr. Han say that the Gu Corp was the one selected. I also heard that Mr. Qin didn’t even stand a chance against Mr. Gu?”

“Really? Gu Yansheng took it?”

Not only did he fail to get the project, but he “didn’t even stand a chance”?

Many people around who were still complimenting Qin Qibai stopped silently, their eyes full of mockery.

When Qin Qibai heard Gu Yansheng’s name, his face turned black, and his anger became even more severe. He pushed the people away and walked to the couch to sit down.

Suddenly there was a commotion at the door. Qin Qibai looked over impatiently. The second he saw who was standing at the door, his eyes suddenly turned somber.

Gu Yansheng again…

Most of the people on the second floor were friends of Mr. Jiang, and so Zhou Yuanfeng also walked over to greet someone he knew. Wen Niannan was left alone sitting on the couch, and from time to time, the people passing by would cast him a questionable look.

Wen Niannan couldn’t sit still after a while. He stood up, picking up a glass of wine like the other ones in the hall, then he walked to the stairs, but stared at the wine glass in his hand in confusion.

He had never known his mother knew Mrs. Jiang before, and his father had never mentioned his mother’s previous friends to him.

His mother wanted him to be happy and live for himself, but how could he abandon everything just to “be himself”?

There was a noise coming from the door, sounding like something big was about to happen. Wen Niannan shook the wine glass in his hand then he looked at the door, Zhou Yuanfeng also walked up to the stairs, looking down in confusion.

When the two men appeared at the door, Wen Niannan”s pupils suddenly shrank and his eyes flickered slightly. It was Gu Yansheng…wasn’t he not coming…?

His gaze slowly fell on the hand he was holding. After seeing who was standing beside him, there was no surprise in his eyes, it was Shen Luoan…

When Zhou Yuanfeng saw that Gu Yansheng had come with Shen Luoan, he realized that the guy was crazy. How could he express his anger like this at such an event?

He actually brought Shen Luoan here. Wasn’t that just announcing his identity to everyone? Didn’t he think everyone else’s jokes were enough?

He walked into the hall hand in hand with Shen Luoan, and some familiar friends of the business community stepped up to say hello.

And those who knew that the project had been taken by Mr. Gu also went by. Gu Yansheng was surrounded by them immediately.

“Mr. Gu, this is Mr. Gu’s husband, right? You’re a really good match.”

“Mr. Gu won this project this time, Mrs. Lu must be very pleased. Congratulations! You’re just as good as your mother!”

Listening to the compliments of the people around him, although Shen Luoan had a polite and elegant smile on his face, his eyes were full of indelible pride and complacency that could not be hidden.

Gu Yansheng kept his face cold since he entered from the door, not paying attention to those people. Frowning, he scanned the people in the hall, but did not see the person he was looking for.

As if aware of the scorching sight cast upstairs, Gu Yansheng looked at the second floor. He saw Wen Niannan, who was also looking at him dressed in a white suit, their eyes met instantly, both were taken by surprise.

When Gu Yansheng saw the white suit on Wen Niannan’s body, he was slightly startled, his eyes flashed in astonishment. Hiding the emotion in his eyes, he then looked away, and a strange emotion took place in his heart.

He felt extremely irritable suddenly. He reached over, took Shen Luoan’s hand, and raised his eyes again to look at the man upstairs.

As if he hadn’t seen him, Wen Niannan took a step back, leaving that side of the stairs. Seeing that he had left, Gu Yansheng’s eyes dropped, and let go of his hand.

“Yansheng, what are you looking at?”

Shen Luoan was a little surprised that Gu Yansheng suddenly held his hand a second ago. He fixed his eyes to look upstairs, but he only saw Zhou Yuanfeng with a solemn face.

Gu Yansheng glared at Zhou Yuanfeng, who was staring at him from upstairs. He motioned him to come down, but Zhou Yuanfeng ignored him, and turned away.

“It’s nothing, I’ll take you to say hello to Mr. Jiang.”

Qin Qibai looked at the man who was just flattering him a while ago, who then ran to Gu Yansheng in front of him. Changing his expression, the resentment in his eyes was even worse as he clenched his fists.

“It seems that the Gu Family really got that project, look at the rich flatterers around him, I thought it was the Qin Family, I’m really disappointed.”

“Well, it seems that the heir of the Qin family is not as powerful as the Gu Family’s.”

Qin Qibai suddenly stepped forward, hitting the two who were talking. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Who said I was inferior to him? What kind of person is he! If he hadn’t been lucky enough for someone to save him, he would have died!”

“I’m…I’m sorry, Mr. Qin, I didn’t mean it, I’m sorry…” Both of them run away, too scared to turn their heads to look back.

Qin Qibai’s chest rose up and down from his heavy breathing. He violently slammed the glass of wine in his hand, and stared gruesomely at Gu Yansheng and Shen Luoan, who were not too far away.

“These two blemishes! Just wait!”

Suddenly remembering the plan that had come to his mind, Qin Qibai smiled. Loosening his tie, he got up and left the hall.

When Xiao Zhao saw Qin Qibai coming out, he stood in front of the car, opened the door, then closed the door and started the engine.

“Hey, Sun Qi, I want you to do it now, take advantage of the crowd and do it quickly.”

“I warned you not to run under my nose like you did last time, if you do it again one more time, I wouldn’t mind letting my father break your other leg.”

After hanging up the phone, Qin Qibai was in a particularly good mood. Leaning back comfortably with his legs up, his eyes scrawled a cruel look.

When he returned home the night before, his father found out that he had been beaten by Gu Yansheng. His father reprimanded him for being so stupid that he didn’t even know how to use tricks, and that he felt that he had lost the reputation of the Qin family, so he punished him to be on his knees in the study for two hours.

“Do you know how important this project is? I want you to get it by whatever means you use! If you have been by my side for all these years but still can’t use those means, what did I raise you for?”

Qin Qibai took out a cigar, held it in his hand, and touched his face, which was still aching. The cold light in his eyes was particularly evident.

“Your husband? Oh, Gu Yansheng, I don’t think you dare be so mad this time, I want to watch you kneel and deliver the project to my hands! I’m going to give you a taste of public humiliation!”

“Tonight is really a beautiful night, and the show is about to begin.”

Mrs. Jiang looked at Shen Luoan, who was sitting opposite her. Her eyes were full of displeasure, and she left the first floor to rest.

Mr. Jiang glanced at Shen Luoan with a fake smile on his face. He said: “Little Gu, come with me, we will announce the cooperation of the project..”

“Alright.”

Gu Yansheng nodded lightly, turned around, and whispered to Shen Luoan, “Wait for me here. I’ll be back soon. Don’t walk around.”

Shen Luoan nodded obediently: “Okay, I’ll just wait for you here.”

The smile on Shen Luoan’s face disappeared as soon as Gu Yansheng left. A look of cruelty took his eyes.

“I smiled so hard that my face is numb. That old thing dared to object? Isn’t she just not convinced to bring me here instead of Wen Niannan.”

Then he remembered how those people in the hall just now looked at him with respect and complimented him. He couldn’t help but feel a little pleased.

A few waiters not far away ran forward with glasses of wine. The waiter at the end walked too vigorously, causing him to trip down. A wine glass in his trembling hand fell to the ground, splashing the drink on Shen Luoan’s pants.

Shen Luoan’s face changed immediately. He slapped the waiter: “Why did you do it! Do you know how much my suit costs?”

“I”m… I”m sorry, Mr. Gu([1]He thought they are married, so he called him mister with Gu Family’s surname), I’m sorry, I was in a hurry to pass the wine…”

Shen Luoan looked around, seeing the empty place, he turned his head, and said arrogantly, “Then you will kneel and apologize, and I won’t say anything.”

“That… Mr. Gu, I…”

“If you don’t kneel, I will tell Mr. Jiang, you also know the relationship between President Jiang and Gu’s family in the business, if you still want to find a job in M City, kneel!”

The waiter glanced at the pieces on the ground, his eyes looking around. Hesitating, he clenched his fists and finally chose to kneel.

“So…sorry.”

“That’s better, get out.”

Shen Luoan waved his hand in disgust. He looked at the person on the ground, then went to the bathroom to clean up.

“Tsk tsk, Mr. Tang, take a look at him, what a ‘well-behaved’ and ‘compliant’ little piano prince, he’s obviously a wolf in sheep’s skin, is Gu Yansheng blind?”

Tang Lunxuan glanced in the direction Shen Luoan had left. Frowning, he approached, and helped the waiter, who was picking up the broken pieces of the wine glass, up.
