In the cold office, the man threw his cell phone on the table and looked at the surveillance screen on the computer with a slightly cold expression.
Ever since Mu Ning entered his study, he had been looking at her.
There was no guilt or panic at all, his indifferent eyes were only calm and indifferent.
Gu Zhiyin stared at the girl crying heartbrokenly on the screen, holding a cigarette between her cold white fingers.
laugh.
We were discovered after all, the little girl is quite smart.
But so what?
She still couldn't leave the country, couldn't go anywhere, she could only stay with him.
It wasn't a bad thing to let her know the truth. At least it saved him a lot of trouble. He no longer had to play the boring game of cat and mouse with her. As for her, she couldn't accept it for a while and got angry and quarreled with him. What kind of splash can you make with your hands? Just coax it.
Gu Zhiyin raised his hand, put the cigarette into his mouth and took a drag. He swayed the red wine with his other hand, his movements were lazy and casual, as if he was watching a messy and sad movie, and his mood was obviously joyful.
"Bang!"
The door to the office was suddenly knocked open, and Jiye rushed in covered in blood, "Master Gu, something happened!"
The man raised his eyes and saw the blood and murderous look on Ji Ye's body, and his cold eyes turned cold, "This is not the place you should come to."
Jiye was frightened by this look, "Gu, Mr. Gu, the eldest brother was shot and is now being sent to the hospital for rescue..."
"Did you bring what I wanted?" Gu Zhiyin frowned slightly and interrupted him expressionlessly, looking at the suitcase in his hand.
Jiye was startled, then walked over quickly and put the box on the desk respectfully.
Gu Zhiyin opened it and took a look, his thin lips slightly hooked, "Give him half a month off to recover."
Jiye: "..."
"If you have nothing to do, go out. Next time you step into my Gu's building, tidy up your clothes. Remember to knock on the door when you see me."
Ji Ye still had something to say, but he was shocked by a strong sense of oppression and shut his mouth, shrinking his neck and went out.
Gu Zhiyin stubbed out his cigarette, groping for the edges of the gem with his fingertips, then picked up his cell phone with his other hand and made a call.
"Are you ready?"
"Everything is ready."
The man hummed, "Go pick up Ningning and bring her to the East Bay."
…
In the villa.
Mu Ning had stopped crying.
Lu Xinting helped her up and pulled two pieces of paper to her, "Ning Ning, what will you do next?"
Mu Ning looked at the mess on the ground, and the temperature in his eyes gradually turned cold.
Then someone knocked on the door.
Mu Ning looked over warily, "Who?"
"Miss Ningning, it's me."
Zhang Ma opened the door and said, "Master Gu sent a car to pick you up. He wants to take you out for dinner. It's your birthday today and he must have prepared a surprise for you. Go and pack it up quickly. The driver is already waiting downstairs. ."
Mu Ning looked at Zhang Ma indifferently and did not move.
"Ning Ning?" Mother Zhang saw that she didn't look good, so she came in to coax her, "Don't be angry with Mr. Gu. Have a happy birthday today. Dress up nicely. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow."
"I heard from the driver that tonight's birthday party is very grand, and celebrities from all walks of life have been invited. Miss Ningning, Master Gu is taking you to meet someone and officially reveal your identity to the outside world." Zhang Ma was very sorry. Mu Ning felt happy.
Mu Ning listened without any hesitation, sneered in his heart, and his tone was mocking, "I know, I'm going to change clothes now."
"Mother Zhang, please clean up this place."
After saying that, she walked away directly. Seeing this, Lu Xinting hurriedly followed her.
While changing clothes, Lu Xinting wondered: "Aunt Zhang saw you making a mess in Gu Zhiyin's study. She didn't say anything to you, and she wasn't surprised. Her reaction was not quite right."
"She was originally left by Gu Zhiyin to supervise me. She must have overheard it outside." Mu Ning said indifferently.
This villa made her feel depressed, and she didn't want to stay there for a moment.
But she still wanted to see that man again.
Mu Ning didn't wear the dress the driver brought her, and she didn't even unpack it. She randomly picked something she liked from the closet and put it on, put on makeup, and got into the car with Lu Xinting.
Along the way, Lu Xinting advised her to calm down.
"Have you thought about it? Ning Ning, there are probably a lot of people here. Let's be patient and don't lose your temper. We won't make trouble again until we get home. You must calm down..."
calm? Oh, she is already very calm.
The driver dropped her off at Dongwan Bay
This is a privately contracted beach with a radius of hundreds of miles, and there is only the small white castle on the seaside.
The lights on the shore were bright, the venue was luxuriously decorated, and the guests were already full. Well-known dignitaries from Kyoto were invited to come here with their families.
The sound of the piano is melodious.
Almost everyone's eyes were looking in one place.
On the beach, a cold and handsome man sat in front of a dark piano, his angular profile shrouded in the darkness, his skin so white that it glowed, and he was dressed in a long and noble suit, exuding the elegant noble temperament to the extreme.
The waves lap against the coastal rocks, the slender fingers dance gracefully on the black and white piano keys, and the moonlight shines, showing a dark and broken beauty.
The sound of the waves and the sound of the piano were like his solo stage. Everyone's eyes were focused on him. Even a Bentley slowly stopped on the side of the road and two girls got out of the car. No one noticed.
They all seemed to have forgotten that they were here to attend Mu Ning's birthday party today.
After getting off the car, Lu Xinting was almost stunned, "Mr. Gu has so many things to do every day, when will he still play with this thing?"
"So what, I don't know who to show it to." Mu Ning sneered coldly.
But the image of Gu Zhiyin teaching her to play the piano flashed through her mind. At that time, Gu Zhiyin was clean and elegant in his early twenties, holding her little girl and sitting in front of the piano, teaching her to read music in the dusk, holding her fingers. Touching the keys of the piano, he never touched the piano again until Mr. Gu's death.
If it hadn't been for that incident, he would probably have become a very good artist, instead of the sinister, cunning, fearsome and ruthless character he is now. Gu could achieve what he is today, with those spotless hands, no one knows how to touch him. After so much dirty work and blood, it has long been changed beyond recognition.
"Let's just say that none of the noble gentlemen in the celebrity world can match his temperament. If I hadn't known about the bad things he did, I would have been so handsome that I couldn't move my legs."
Lu Xinting admired from the bottom of her heart, turned around and saw Mu Ning's ugly face, and quickly changed her face, "Bah! Scumbag! Why are you pretending to be acting like this? I also said that I would celebrate your birthday. You are attracting attention by being so arrogant, so why don't you do it? Let him set up a stage and put on a stage play...Hey, Ning Ning!"
Before he finished scolding, Mu Ning moved away from him.
Mu Ning’s favorite baby’s breath is planted on both sides of the glass plank road.
Just when everyone is indulged in the melody and beauty.
A girl in a red dress appeared in everyone's sight.
The gorgeous skirt and delicate and pretty face attracted many guests to look at her, sizing her up and whispering to each other.
"Is this the birthday girl tonight, the little princess of Mr. Gu's family?"
"She looks so young. If it hadn't been her twentieth birthday today, she would have been mistaken for fifteen or sixteen, right?"
"I heard that the child was raised by Master Gu. It has not been made public before. Now I am bringing her to see the world. I don't know what it means."
"Even if she is an adopted orphan, she is loved as much as her biological daughter. What is Mr. Gu thinking about spending such a large sum of money to invite us elders to celebrate her birthday as a little baby?"
"I can't guess. I don't know whether she calls Mr. Gu godfather in private or..."
Mu Ning just pretended not to hear. They were only about ten meters away. Looking at his back, she took a deep breath and walked quickly towards the man at the end of the plank road.
