CHAPTER 50: CHAPTER 51: WHAT CALL ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

As a result, breakfast was eaten in anxiety, frequently glancing at the phone.

Even during the afternoon work, thoughts wandered restlessly.

Turn on the phone, then turn it off.

Swipe open the phone, then close it.

After several rounds, Yu Wei, who was drafting a design opposite her, finally couldn’t stand it, "What call are you waiting for?"

"Uh?" Gu Zixuan was startled for a moment, quickly shook her head, and began working quietly.

Her evasive behavior made Yu Wei suspicious, but thinking that Gu Zixuan was troubled by Uncle Gu’s matter, coupled with yesterday’s fuss by He Qimo, perhaps Gu Zixuan was still waiting for He Qimo’s apology call, so she didn’t think much of it.

Time thus drifted from dawn to night.

...

Inside the He Mansion, He Xiaoqi paced anxiously in her bedroom; yesterday, her brother He Qimo’s words almost scared her into a frenzy.

Quickly finding an excuse, she interrupted her brother’s thoughts, sent him off, and then continuously contacted Zhou Xiao, hoping to ensure the documents were not lost.

Unfortunately, Zhou Xiao did not answer her calls at all, and after numerous attempts, he directly turned off his phone.

Unable to reach out, the unusual behavior of Gu Zixuan slapping herself that night replayed vividly in her mind.

He Xiaoqi’s heart grew more and more panicked, finally, when a call came in, she quickly answered it.

"Brother Ze Xi, what happened to the documents?"

"They have been sold by that woman Zhou Xiao to the black market."

Hearing this, He Xiaoqi sat heavily on the European-style soft chair at the dressing table, her face was pale, "How, how could this happen... Wasn’t she supposed to directly offer credit to my brother?"

"Xiaoqi, you are thinking too simplistically about these young ladies. She wants to enter the He Family, although it was Miss Gu who sold the documents, and if she buys them back, your brother will appreciate her. But without actual massive losses, how could your brother divorce Miss Gu?"

How could he divorce?

These four words pierced sharply through He Xiaoqi’s eardrums.

Recalling how Gu Zixuan once said while she went out with others: "Don’t think those young ladies are too naive, you and they are not the same."

He Xiaoqi trembled, despaired, "But, but she likes my brother, how, how dare she..."

"What wouldn’t she dare? The documents are worth billions, how could you dare admit you took them and sold them to her? As long as you don’t dare to admit, what is she afraid of..."

Another layer of meaning was that Zhou Xiao did not want He Qimo to expand into the internet business because only if He Qimo continued in real estate and with Gu Qingfeng’s downfall, would He Qimo cling tightly to the Zhou Family tree, which wasn’t explained to He Xiaoqi.

"So, as long as you don’t admit it, she isn’t afraid at all, even if you do admit it, she dared to do this, she must have a way to distance herself from this affair, Xiaoqi, you’ve been played by that woman Zhou Xiao."

The analysis left He Xiaoqi terrified and trembling.

Finally, fingers interwoven in her hair, she rested her head on the dressing table.

The atmosphere was quiet, paused for a moment, the other person seemed to sense He Xiaoqi’s discomfort.

Laughing hoarsely, changed the topic, "By the way, Xiaoqi, you see I helped you check for a long time this time..."

He Xiaoqi was startled, said weakly: "I know, in a few days I’ll give you a reward for having fun on the ice."

The other person chuckled deeply, "You make me out to be someone like Mr. Wen? Do I need you to pay to have fun? What I mean is, Xiaoqi, it’s my birthday in a few days, you..."
