CHAPTER 387: CHAPTER 234: MRS. GU, SHALL WE END THE COLD WAR?

Although Bei Ran could guess such an outcome, it still felt like she had swallowed a fly.

She could choose not to care about all the women in Gu Qingchen’s past, but she did care about other people provoking her like this!

What’s past is like dust scattered in the wind, gone is gone.

However, such malicious provocation was something Bei Ran could not overlook without appearing too timid!

But with what could she retaliate?

Now that a pair of twins have just returned to Gu Qingchen’s side, his position in the company is also being coveted by others.

Bei Ran woke up early, but the fly in her heart kept buzzing at her heart’s tip.

If it had been a butterfly that came flying by, how beautiful that would have been.

But, it was a fly that came instead.

In the afternoon, Bei Ran couldn’t stay home, so she simply went out.

As she roamed aimlessly, she bumped into Wu Kang and Qiao Peitian.

Qiao Peitian was riding a very fancy motorcycle while Wu Kang was anxiously hopping next to her, saying: "Qiao Peitian, get down from there! Motorcycles are forbidden in City A, you know? You even stealthily went to race? If I hadn’t stopped you, the traffic police would have already taken you away. I’d like to see who would bail you out!"

Qiao Xiaoyan had her heart broken, so she went abroad for further studies.

Qiao Peitian was living alone, and Wu Kang always did as she asked, but in this moment, he was also angrily scolding her!

Qiao Peitian took off her helmet and said, "People like you will never understand the thrill of Fast and Furious!"

"All I know is that life is the most important thing!" Wu Kang pulled her down.

His wrist turned blue with a big bruise from her bumping into him, it still hurt when he pulled her!

However, Qiao Peitian cheerfully punched his chest and laughed: "Alright, to make it up to you, let’s go eat at my restaurant, order whatever you like!"

"No!" Wu Kang said: "I want to eat what you make with your own hands!"

Qiao Peitian looked to the sky!

Considering that he had been by her side all this time, she readily agreed, "But you must finish everything!"

"Let’s go to my place!" Wu Kang said.

"Fine let’s go!" Qiao Peitian huffed, "First we buy groceries, Miss Bei..."

Bei Ran watched the two bicker like a young couple, and she nodded.

Wu Kang ran over, "Ran sister, where did you go, you know the company can’t function without you, nor can I..."

"Stop!" Bei Ran looked at him, "I won’t be returning to work for a while, you better go grocery shopping with Miss Qiao!"

"Miss Bei, come with us!" Qiao Peitian said.

"Alright!" Bei Ran went back home with them.

In the kitchen, Qiao Peitian was creating chaos akin to unleashing havoc in heaven, while Wu Kang was consulting Bei Ran about some planning cases.

When Qiao Peitian served up the dishes, Wu Kang was flabbergasted, and Bei Ran couldn’t help but laugh.

Looking at the stir-fried tomatoes and eggs on the table, Wu Kang whispered to Bei Ran: "The eggs are shattered to pieces, not a whole body to be found, and the tomatoes are a bloody mess. Originally, they should be intimately nestled together in harmony, but this scene is like a gruesome crime scene, too horrifying to witness!"

Qiao Peitian, full of anticipation, looked at Wu Kang and Bei Ran. This was her first time cooking, and even though she owned a restaurant, it didn’t mean she was a great chef.

Ignoring Wu Kang’s words, Bei Ran still encouraged him: "Wu Kang, give it a try!"

Although the dish was a bloody mess too ghastly to look at, Wu Kang still ate it as though it were a delicacy.

However, after taking a bite, it was like he was a forensic expert analyzing a crime scene.

On the other hand, Bei Ran calmly picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.

Qiao Peitian also tried a bite, but she immediately spat it out.

Although she didn’t know how to cook, her restaurant had many five-star chefs, so the dishes they made were naturally very delicious.

"How can it taste so awful?" Qiao Peitian exclaimed, "Miss Bei, how can you enjoy it so much?"

Bei Ran looked at her intently: "A friend’s cooking always has a special flavor."

Qiao Peitian patted her on the shoulder: "Bei Ran, I might as well just call you by your name, saying Miss Bei is too formal! I know Doctor Gu is no longer practicing as a doctor and has returned to Gu Group. I don’t know how I can help you, but if you need anything, I’m ready to go through thick and thin with you."

"Thank you!" Bei Ran was very moved, "Running into you two today really lifted my spirits."

"Ran sister, if there’s anything you need me to do, just tell me," Wu Kang said, ready to spring into action.

Qiao Peitian pulled them both up, "Let’s go, we’ll eat at my restaurant, you two can order anything you like, it’s on me!"

Wu Kang wiped his sweat!

He was waiting for the Queen to make a decree; next time, please don’t try to be romantic by inviting Qiao Peitian to cook at home.

"Let’s go, let’s go!" Wu Kang hastily said, "Haven’t seen Ran in such a long time, let’s go eat together!"

So, the three of them went to Qiao Peitian’s restaurant.

"Would you like to sit in the main hall, or would you prefer a private room?" Qiao Peitian asked them.

Wu Kang said, "Private room! Ran needs some quiet, the main hall is too noisy!"

"Alright," Qiao Peitian immediately arranged a private room.

Wu Kang accompanied Bei Ran into the elevator, and Bei Ran saw a familiar figure.

She had not expected to bump into Ji Su here, and Ji Su was slightly drunk, her hand casually draped over a stranger’s arm.

Bei Ran took a glance at Wu Kang: "Wu Kang, do you have my new phone number?"

"No," Wu Kang replied anxiously, "You changed your number?"

"Yes!" Bei Ran reached out her hand, "Give me your phone!"

Wu Kang handed his phone to Bei Ran, and as she unlocked the screen and appeared to enter a phone number, she actually snapped a photo in the blink of an eye.

Thanks to Wu Kang’s trendy iPhone 6, Bei Ran also activated the silent burst mode feature.

After Bei Ran and Wu Kang exited the elevator, she entered the private room and made a phone call to Zhuo Yufeng!

"Bei Ran, you still remember to call me?" Already restored to his position, Zhuo Yufeng was still troubled by Bei Ran’s departure and couldn’t let go.

Bei Ran chuckled softly, "I need a favor from you! I have some photos on hand, could you send them to Gu Yucheng using an unregistered SIM card?"

"Sure!" Zhuo Yufeng agreed immediately.

After receiving the photos of Ji Su leaning on another man, Zhuo Yufeng quickly sent them to Gu Yucheng.

Although Gu Yucheng naturally couldn’t trace the source of the photos sent by Zhuo Yufeng, seeing Ji Su behaving recklessly with another man, he immediately became restless in his office.

Thus, he promptly headed to the restaurant.

And Ji Su was still at the entrance of the restaurant, not yet departed; when Gu Yucheng arrived, she was being held in another man’s embrace.

Gu Yucheng stepped forward, knocked the other man down with a punch, and then dragged Ji Su into his car and sped away.

Wu Kang and Bei Ran were seated by the window, and they naturally witnessed this scene.

Bei Ran raised her glass and took a sip of her drink.

She had not realized before that what seemed like a perfect relationship between Ji Su and Gu Yucheng was, in fact, as messy and unbearable as the scrambled eggs with tomatoes Qiao Peitian had cooked today.

However, Bei Ran could be sure of one thing, and that was that Gu Yucheng did have feelings for Ji Su in his heart.

Bei Ran didn’t know why Ji Su broke up with Gu Qingchen back then, but she was sure Ji Su still had Gu Qingchen in her heart.

Bei Ran felt happy avenging the grudge from this morning, her heart lightening up.

She didn’t care about what Gu Qingchen thought; as long as Ji Su made her unhappy, she would make sure Ji Su felt the same!

Gu Yucheng drove the car, looking at the drunken woman beside him, not taking her home, but instead stopping at a hotel by the seaside.

He turned on the faucet and pressed Ji Su directly under the cold water.

Ji Su sobered up quite a bit, and seeing the devilish Gu Yucheng, she remained quite calm.

"What did I do to upset you now?" Ji Su was drenched.

"Upset me?" Gu Yucheng showed her the phone: "Look at yourself! Are you so easy that you’d lie beneath any man?"

Ji Su didn’t deny it, "Of course not! You know very well which man I like. I’m only willing to lie beneath him..."

"Ji Su—" Gu Yucheng grabbed her neck, "Do you have a death wish?"

"Then strangle me to death!" Ji Su just hummed coldly, "When I agreed to marry you six years ago, I already lost the will to live!"

Gu Yucheng angrily said, "What’s so good about him? What makes you so obsessed?"

"Everything about him is good!" Ji Su laughed, betting that Gu Yucheng wouldn’t kill her; her daughter would be left motherless, he wouldn’t do such a thing and make his daughter hate him for the rest of her life.

Gu Yucheng wanted to strangle her to death, "But it has been me who’s been by your side for these six years, Ji Su, and it’s been me giving you money to spend. Where’s your heart?"

"My heart is long gone!" Ji Su scoffed, "I’m merely a shell by your side, you can use it however you want, it makes no difference to me... Before, I was willing to play the loving wife with you, but now, I don’t even have the mood to pretend."

Gu Yucheng’s grip tightened, "But no matter whom you’re thinking of, even if it’s just a shell, I want you by my side, Ji Su, don’t delude yourself with hopes of being with Gu Qingchen again..."

When Ji Su heard the name ’Gu Qingchen,’ her eyes became hazy, and without realizing, her hands wrapped around his neck: "Qingchen..."

Gu Yucheng threw her off with one hand: "Don’t really think you’ve become the character! You want Gu Qingchen that badly? Are you that cheap?"
