Not long after, Ma Bing and his group bought gifts and returned to the branch company.
"Let's go, go home first, you guys settle down first."
There were probably more than 20 people who came to Suhang with Gu Chenan this time. Bringing more than 20 people to the Xiao's house was obviously not appropriate.
People who didn't know might think someone was here to smash the place.
Letting those 20 plus people stay in the company wouldn't work either. After all, the employees here still had to work.
...
Half an hour later.
A manor that was no less luxurious than the Gu family's main house appeared before everyone.
The flowers and plants in the manor were neatly trimmed, and fragrant, apparently the butler had just had it trimmed when he learned that Gu Chenan was coming.
"Young Master Gu, you finally came, I haven't seen you for a long time."
The butler of the manor was an old man with gray hair and glasses. Seeing Gu Chenan appear, he walked over quickly.
"Uncle Li, how have you been?" Gu Chenan asked.
" Sturdy, very sturdy!" Butler Li patted his chest and said.
"That's good then."
Gu Chenan nodded and entered the main hall of the manor with the group.
The layout of the main hall was very similar to that of the Gu family, or it could be said that it was arranged according to the Gu family.
Gu Chenan's room was still on the second floor.
"You guys just pick any room, there aren't many people here."
Gu Chenan roughly told the bodyguards about the situation of the manor, then looked at Ma Bing and said, "It will be just you and me later."
"Yes." Ma Bing nodded.
"Young Master Gu, what about me?" Bai Yutian asked anxiously when she heard this.
She really wanted to show off in front of Gu Chenan right now.
Gu Chenan smiled slightly, grabbed Bai Yutian's slender willow waist and pulled her into his arms forcibly. The two were immediately pressed together.
"You, be a good girl and wait for me to come back."
Bai Yutian looked up at Gu Chenan's handsome face, her pupils trembling slightly, involuntarily swallowing, and nodded, "Yes, Young Master Gu."
"Let's go." Gu Chenan let go of Bai Yutian and walked out of the main hall with Ma Bing.
Bai Yutian watched Gu Chenan's back, recalling his last words in her mind.
Be a good girl and wait for me to come back~
These words...sound like what a husband would say to his wife!
Bai Yutian's cheeks flushed instantly. She gently bit her red lips, a blissful smile appearing on her face.
...
Ma Bing was driving with Gu Chenan sitting in the passenger seat. The back seat was full of gift boxes.
The car passed through the Suhang city center, and arrived at the Xiao's Manor in half an hour.
At this time, there were plenty of security guards around the Xiao family manor, obviously Xiao Jian (the head of the Xiao family) had strengthened security measures.
The vehicle stopped and a security guard quickly walked over.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
Ma Bing rolled down the car window, "My young master has come to visit the Xiao family owner."
Hearing this, the security guard lowered his head to glance at the passenger seat, then raised an eyebrow.
Ah, its Donghai's Young Master Gu?
"One moment please."
The security guard took out the two-way radio clipped to his chest and reported: "Captain, Donghai’s Young Master Gu is here to visit the owner."
"I'll go ask the owner for instructions." The person on the radio said.
Gu Chenan smiled.
It seemed that Xiao Jian was really scared out of his wits.
But that was understandable, not everyone was like himself knowing the storyline.
Facing a world-renowned international assassin organization would surely be daunting for anyone.
Soon, the security received clearance to enter and opened the gate: "Young Master Gu, please enter."
The vehicle moved and drove into the manor.
Outside the main hall of the manor, Xiao Jian and his wife, along with Xiao Yajie came out to greet them.
Although Gu Chenan did not have a good reputation in Suhang, this was a special time, so Xiao Jian didn’t care about reputation at this point.
"Owner Xiao, I have long admired you by reputation, today I have come to pay you a visit in person." Gu Chenan said courteously after getting out of the car.
"It is said that Young Master Gu is a handsome talent, and it is indeed so today!" Xiao Jian greeted him with a smile.
Beside him, Xiao Yajie wore a strapless tight mini skirt that showed off her slender legs in sheer flesh-colored stockings. Her feet casually slipped into slippers.
Her skin was like ice and jade.
Graceful and alluring, she had make-up fit for an empress.
If Su Qianmo was 100 points in Gu Chenan's heart, then Xiao Yajie was basically 99 points.
It was just that Su Qianmo was an icy beauty, while Xiao Yajie was purely the sexy type.
That willowy waist and full rounded buttocks, her waist-hip ratio was simply MAX level!
But this sexiness was different from the vulgarity of a cheap slut. Xiao Yajie was sexy but not vulgar.
It was just that when she looked at Gu Chenan, there seemed to be a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Gu Chenan noticed her gaze and lightly nodded: "Miss Xiao."
"Young Master Gu." Xiao Yajie greeted him expressionlessly.
"Young Master Gu, please come in, let's talk inside." Xiao Jian beckoned.
"Very well, Owner Xiao." He said, then told Ma Bing: "Take all the gifts I prepared for Owner Xiao."
Xiao Jian politely said: "Young Master Gu, you coming here alone is good enough, what gifts did you bring?"
"Just a little something." Gu Chenan smiled.
Everyone came to the main hall.
The servant brewed tea and poured each of them a cup.
Xiao Jian made a "please" gesture with his hand, then asked, "Young Master Gu, is there something going on for your visit?"
Gu Chenan took a sip of tea and smiled, "It's not really a big deal."
"I had just arrived in Suhang today, and I heard that something seemed to have happened to Owner Xiao, so I rushed over to the Xiao residence to ask about the exact situation."
Hearing this, Xiao Jian and Xiao's mother glanced at each other, originally wanting to say something, but Xiao Yajie beside them spoke first:
"Young Master Gu, our Xiao family and your Donghai Gu family have no relationship, so why do you care so much about our Xiao family?"
"Yajie!" Xiao Jian immediately stopped Xiao Yajie, then looked at Gu Chenan, "Young Master Gu, I am very grateful that you came."
【This crazy woman, I came here to help your Xiao family, yet you dare speak to me like that!】
【Biting the hand that feeds, unable to recognize good intentions!】
Gu Chenan glanced at Xiao Yajie, shook his head helplessly, then put his gaze back on Xiao Jian: "Owner Xiao, please do not hesitate to tell me anything."
Hearing Gu Chenan's inner voice, Xiao Yajie was startled.
She looked left and right, seemingly looking for the source of the sound.
But looking around there were clearly no other people.
She wrinkled her brows.
Could it be that I was hearing things?
But why did the voice sound so much like Gu Chenan?
Hmm... Let me observe some more to confirm.
"Young Master Gu, it's not that I don't trust you, I'm just curious why you want to help our Xiao family?"
The Gu family was in Donghai while the Xiao family was in Suhang, the two families were unrelated.
In fact, if it wasn't for this Black Owl incident, whether Xiao Jian would even let Gu Chenan in the door for the sake of the Xiao family's reputation would be an issue.
So, Gu Chenan's sudden visit today took Xiao Jian greatly by surprise.
Gu Chenan smiled and said, "Owner Xiao, to be honest, I was born chivalrous. My hobby is to selflessly help others for fun, to do good deeds. You understand what I mean?"
【Helping your Xiao family is helping me!】
【Don't ask too much, just let me take charge. I will definitely not let Black Owl kill you as long as I’m involved. 】
【Obediently listen to my arrangements. If everything goes smoothly, I’ll get rid of those Black Owl assassins from Suhang within a week.】
Gu Chenan's inner voice appeared again. Xiao Yajie was stunned for a moment.
It was confirmed, it was not an auditory hallucination!
...
Today the novel is open for reader voting. It will probably last about a week before the results come out.
Everyone please wish me luck, I'm super anxious right now.
Even more anxious than Gu Chenan was on that fateful night in Mingyue Manor.
