Chapter 8 A Cufflink
"Listen late, I."
Before he could say anything, a voice came from over there, urging him to hurry up and get to work as he was going to be late.
He stubbornly did not hang up the phone, and responded slightly impatiently, then his voice softened, "I'm taking leave for the weekend. Can I go to Shenzhen and Guangzhou to see you?"
The urging over there is getting more and more urgent.
Liang Youjing seemed to insist on an answer from her. His shallow breathing came from the receiver carefully.
"Tingwan, promise me."
Gu Tingwan finally softened up and said, "Okay."
The coffee was gone, so she carried her bag and opened the door to stop the car to find Zhao Jinqi.
He was the only child in the Zhao family, and they were pressing him hard to get married. He was really annoyed some time ago, so Zhao Jinqi moved to a large flat near the city center, not far from the coffee shop.
The two made an appointment for lunch.
The weather is getting colder, which is the time to eat hot pot.
Zhao Jinqi reserved a private room. He had arrived a long time ago. He leaned back lazily on his chair and yawned: "I skipped work to eat hot pot with you. You can treat me to this meal."
The phone rang.
Gu Tingwan lowered his head and looked at it. It was information from the bank that 50 million Hong Kong dollars had been received.
The money has already arrived before the work is done.
I have to admire the Jin family's work efficiency.
She took off her coat and smiled gently: "I beg you, do whatever you want."
When friends get together, in addition to talking about work, the most common thing is Shenguang gossip. Gu Tingwan hasn't been back for a long time, and all the information he heard came from Zhao Jinqi.
"Do you still remember that Meng Chang who shamelessly pestered you to date you at a banquet?"
His tone was slow and leisurely: "I got into trouble some time ago. I took a little girl to drink. I didn't expect that the girl's boyfriend was a boxer. I just punched him in the face twice. It was very embarrassing in Shenzhen and Guangzhou." br>
Relying on the power of the Meng family, Meng Chang often made trouble in Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
At the banquet where he first met Jin Boli, he fell in love with Gu Tingwan. He grabbed her wrist and forced her to drink with a playful smile, and asked her to agree to be his girlfriend.
After pestering her for ten minutes, she still couldn't get rid of her. No matter how ugly Gu Tingwan said, he still regarded it as flirting.
Later, something suddenly hit Meng Chang's forehead. He screamed and subconsciously reached out to touch his hand, which was covered with blood.
Gu Tingwan took advantage of the chaos and left. Later, he heard that the blow was so severe that Meng Chang suffered a concussion and lay in the hospital for two or three days.
What hit him was a cufflink, square and valuable.
What is strange is that the Meng family, who have always been unreasonable and unforgiving, did not pursue anything, and the matter ended there.
Gu Tingwan raised his eyelids and said, "The Meng family is not easy to deal with."
Zhao Jinqi smiled: "This is where the fun comes from."
"The young couple just came to Shenzhen and Guangzhou for a trip. The girl's home is in Haizhou, and the eldest daughter has a big family. This incident itself is Meng Chang's fault. The Meng family not only swallowed this loss, but also had to come to apologize in person."
It was almost embarrassing to my grandma's family, and it became a topic of chat for many people after dinner.
Gu Tingwan's voice ended lazily: "Meng Chang doesn't have a long memory. It's estimated that he will come out again in half a month."
With such a shameless temper, he can stay at home for a month at most.
After the last banquet, Meng Chang still couldn't forget her. He went to the places where she often went to block people many times. If the Gu family didn't have a say in Shenguang, a girl with no power would have been exhausted.
After dinner with Zhao Jinqi, Gu Tingwan went home.
As soon as he entered the house, Zhou Huai sent a message.
"The eldest lady will return to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow. Please arrive at the port city tomorrow night."
——I just arrived home and stayed at home for three days before setting off again.
She was the only one going to Hong Kong City this time. Jiang Chu had followed her for two months without a break, so it was really unjustifiable to ask her to follow him again.
Zhou Huai came to pick her up in person, but this time he went not to Repulse Bay, but to the middle of the mountain.
"Repulse Bay is the property of Mr.'s father, and Mid-Levels is in Mr.'s name. Although the eldest lady always lives in Repulse Bay, she was worried that you would be restrained there, so she arranged for you to live in Mid-Levels."
"The maid has already cleaned up the room. You come to Hong Kong every month. Just treat it as your own room. It is more convenient than staying in a hotel."
Gu Tingwan froze when he heard the words "Banshan" and "Mr."
Her voice was tight, "Where does Mr. Jin live?"
Zhou Huai said warmly: "Mid-level."
Gu Tingwan: "."
It's better to live in Repulse Bay. Why does Su Qi think she won't be restrained under her brother's nose?
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
She made a sad face and tried to bargain: "Su Qi always lives in Repulse Bay. It would be a waste of time to go to Mid-Levels. Why don't I go to Repulse Bay."
Zhou Huai added: "Don't worry, the eldest lady will also come to Mid-Levels, and my husband often visits abroad, so his days in Hong Kong City are numbered."
That's good.
Gu Tingwan calmly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was afraid of Jin Boli.
The indescribable feeling seemed to be the instinctive timidity of animals when faced with a strong predator.
The Maybach drove slowly into the middle of the mountain and drove all the way up the mountain along the main road.
The higher you go, the tighter the security becomes. After passing a security booth, you officially enter Jin Boli's private area.
The villa is built on the mountain, with the mountain behind it and the sea. It is already evening, and the lights are on, shining brightly in the night, majestic and spectacular.
Gu Tingwan got out of the car and looked up.
It is not a regular Western-style villa. It is designed in a modern style. Even the second floor has a lush garden. It is very private and has the broadest view in the entire harbor city.
"Miss Gu."
Someone called her.
He looked at a woman in her forties, neatly dressed and smiling politely: "I am Sun Wanhua, the housekeeper here. My husband has already told you to come over. I will take you in."
Gu Tingwan smiled at her, turned around to thank Zhou Huai, and said softly: "Sorry for the trouble, Butler Sun."
The luggage she brought was delivered to the room.
"You live on the second floor."
Like Repulse Bay, the hillside was like a maze. She followed Butler Sun into the elevator, thinking that she should get familiar with the layout when she had time to avoid going to places she shouldn't go.
After all, this is Jin Boli's home, so be careful.
The room is a small suite. From here, you can see the entire central area of the port city, which is brightly lit, bright and prosperous.
"If you need anything, you can call the internal number at any time and someone will deliver the items you need."
Butler Sun bent down slightly: "Then I'll get to work first."
After closing the door, Gu Tingwan relaxed.
The suitcase was placed in the living room. She packed the clothes she had brought with her and heard her cell phone ringing. It was a video call from Xia Yan.
She sat on the carpet and answered the call lazily. Xia Yan's words came to her lips and were swallowed alive. She looked at the unfamiliar background and frowned in confusion: "Where are you?"
