Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 195 Threatening Gu Yanci

Thinking about the next layer of relationship, Gu Yanci nodded.

The beauty had originally intended to watch the show, but she was taken aback when Gu Yanci actually agreed to meet her.

"Mr. Gu, I'm sorry to bother you, but I have no other way to contact you, so I've taken the liberty of coming here." Jiang Xing looked somewhat haggard, but more than that, he was anxious.

The young men who had been singing and howling like ghosts suddenly fell silent, leaving only the rock music playing through the speakers.

Everyone stared at Gu Yanci and the woman who had suddenly appeared, their eyes full of gossip:

[Wasn't it said that Young Master Gu really liked Wen Yan? How come another woman has suddenly appeared?]

Wow, this is going to be interesting!

If other women can have it, does my own sister still have a chance?

……

Gu Yanci leaned back on the sofa, looking at Jiang Xing with a cold expression, without saying a word.

Jiang Xing pursed her lips and continued, "President Gu—"

She changed how she addressed me.

“My father has disappeared abroad and is suspected of being kidnapped by a telecom fraud group. Assistant Zhou previously mentioned that he hoped I would consider working for your Ministry of Justice after graduation. If you can save my father, I am willing to work for you for free for the next ten years.”

As the most outstanding doctoral candidate in the law department at Imperial University, Jiang Xing's future career spans a golden decade, which is very valuable.

"Oh?" Gu Yanci said uninterestedly. "I don't need any more employees."

This offer was not enough to sway him, or even to pique his interest in learning more about which country Jiang Xing's father had the incident in.

Gu Yanci appears to be a gentleman and polite, and he would specially ask a Chinese international student to cook for Wen Yan so that she could have a meal.

However, the former is a hypocritical facade that doesn't live up to its name, while the latter is only for Wen Yan—he has absolutely no extra patience for others.

Jiang Xing understood Gu Yanci's meaning, and her face turned pale.

After a two-second silence, his tone became more assertive: "Mr. Gu, if I can make a deal with you, I don't want to bother Wen Xuemei with this matter, so as not to cause her any worry."

Gu Yanci's previously nonchalant expression turned cold in an instant.

He looked at Jiang Xing again, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "You're threatening me?"

“President Gu, if we can avoid talking about personal relationships, I think it would be best to talk about business.” Jiang Xing spoke with an unusual calm amidst the chaos. “I really have no other choice—you know that Wen Xuemei is a very sentimental person.”

"Jiang Xing?" A male voice suddenly rang out, followed by a mocking tone, "Looking for me?"

Jiang Xing froze, turned around, and sure enough, saw a familiar man walking towards her.

Lou Qi was wearing a casual shirt with the cuffs rolled up to his forearms, revealing his muscular forearms. His fingertips were still damp with water, which made Jiang Xing's heart skip a beat.

It's unclear who turned on the light, but everyone's expressions were now completely visible.

Lou Qi's face clearly conveyed an arrogant message: "Now you know to come looking for me, do you think I'd even acknowledge you?"

"..." Jiang Xing told the truth, "I'm looking for President Gu."

Lou Qi: "..." His face immediately darkened.

Those around were dumbfounded.

Wait, wasn't this woman here to see Young Master Gu? How come she knows Brother Lou?

Did Brother Lou take the initiative to greet me?

Gu Yanci was incredibly clever and immediately noticed the unusual relationship between Lou Qi and Jiang Xing.

“Miss Jiang, Lou Qi can do what you’re asking me to do,” Gu Yanci reminded her.

Jiang Xing subconsciously looked at Lou Qi, her brows furrowing in displeasure.

Her resistance was so obvious that Lou Qi let out a cold laugh.

"Never mind, Miss Jiang is unwilling to accept my kindness."
