ABCFWGR Chapter 137: I'm Afraid I Have to Trouble You

Is this what you call "no problem"?

Those who were about to leave all paused, their eyes gleaming with gossip.

But they didn't dare to be too obvious, so they lingered slowly.

"For business matters, you can coordinate with Angie. I'm not responsible for specific affairs," Gu Chen declined politely.

Chen Yuwei quickly said, "It's not business, it's personal."

Hearing this, Wu Anqi secretly became vigilant. It seems she can never let her guard down.

Seeing Gu Chen frown, as if unwilling to deal with her, Chen Yuwei hurriedly added, "It's about my mom."

Gu Chen looked at her deeply and couldn't refuse anymore. He said in a low voice, "Let's talk in the office."

"You all go downstairs and wait for me. I'll be down soon."

Chen Yuwei instructed her subordinates and quickly followed Gu Chen.

Guard against fire, theft, and best friends.

Since Yuwei had already gotten ahead, Wu Anqi couldn't let her and Gu Chen deepen their relationship further, so she followed them uneasily.

However, as soon as they entered the office, Chen Yuwei turned around and apologized, "Anqi, could you please wait outside?"

This...this is too much!

Wu Anqi pouted, but seeing that Gu Chen had no reaction, she reluctantly nodded, "Alright."

"Thud!"

The door closed.

Wu Anqi, like a thief, pressed her ear to the door to listen, but the office's soundproofing was too good. She couldn't hear anything, making her even more anxious.

Inside the office.

Gu Chen said indifferently, "There's no one else here. Just say what you need to."

"How has my mom been lately?" Chen Yuwei asked with concern.

Gu Chen paused before saying, "Aunt Jiang is fine. With me here, she won't be mistreated like before."

He hid the fact that Jiang Rou had left. Even if he told Chen Yuwei, it would only cause unnecessary worry and resentment. It was better to keep it a secret for now.

Anyway, it wouldn't be long before he found Jiang Rou and brought her back.

"With you taking care of her, I should be relieved," Chen Yuwei nodded.

She had no doubt about Gu Chen's devotion to Jiang Rou. No matter who might treat Jiang Rou badly, Gu Chen definitely wouldn't.

After a moment of hesitation, Chen Yuwei looked at Gu Chen and cautiously said, "Are you still mad at me? If you are, I can apologize for what I said before. I actually..."

"You don't need to apologize to me. I never took it to heart. Let the past stay in the past," Gu Chen didn't want to hear her explanation.

"Never took it to heart?"

Chen Yuwei murmured. Did that mean he never cared about her either?

Chen Yuwei felt a bit suffocated, her eyes reddened. She lowered her head and said, "I understand. I disturbed you. I'll leave now."

After saying this, she hurriedly opened the door and walked out.

"Ouch!"

Wu Anqi, caught off guard, almost stumbled. She smiled awkwardly, "Yuwei, I..."

"I'll head back first. I'll invite you to dinner another day," Chen Yuwei turned her head and said.

However, Wu Anqi noticed her tear-filled eyes. Just as she was about to say something, Chen Yuwei quickly walked away.

"What's going on?"

Wu Anqi, puzzled, walked into the office and questioned Gu Chen, "Did you bully Yuwei?"

"Which eye of yours saw me bullying her?" Gu Chen glared at her.

Not only was Wu Anqi confused, but Gu Chen was as well. He merely said that the past was behind them, and Chen Yuwei acted like she had suffered a great grievance and left without looking back.

"Acting like you're sick."

Seeing Gu Chen's displeased expression, Wu Anqi shrank her neck and decided not to press further. Instead, she asked, "Why did you suddenly come to the company today? Did you come specifically to check on the collaboration?"

"Focus on your work. I just happened to be here."

Gu Chen could easily guess her little schemes and immediately flicked her on the forehead twice.

Wu Anqi, holding her head in pain, glared at him with a pitiful expression, "If I ever turn stupid, it will definitely be because of you. Can't you hit somewhere else?"

Gu Chen raised an eyebrow and smiled, his gaze drifting downward.

Wu Anqi quickly covered her butt and protested, "Not there either! You can't just go around hitting a girl's butt. Unless you promise to take responsibility for me!"

"In your dreams!"

Gu Chen casually flicked her forehead again.

"It really hurts!"

Wu Anqi complained pitifully.

"It's supposed to hurt so you'll remember not to speak without thinking next time," Gu Chen said sternly to intimidate her.

Wu Anqi rolled her eyes and snorted lightly.

Seeing Gu Chen raise his hand again, she quickly shrank back and shouted, "A gentleman uses words, not fists! Don't be too excessive, or I'll bite you!"

Gu Chen laughed at her fierce appearance and decided to let her off. He said, "I have things to do. I'm not going to mess around with you. Work hard and stop thinking about nonsense."

"Got it, got it," Wu Anqi responded perfunctorily.

She still reluctantly saw Gu Chen into the elevator before returning.

Propping her chin on her hand at her desk, she pondered, unable to figure out how Gu Chen could have made Yuwei cry.

Surely, he wouldn't have done anything improper in broad daylight?

That would be too outrageous!

...

Lin'an Hospital.

After lying in bed for more than half a month, Li Junjie had almost recovered.

At Liu Hanyan's banquet, he was thrown out by Gu Chen and nearly killed by a kick from Zhang Tieshou.

All his ribs were broken, and even his spine was severely injured. Fortunately, he received timely medical treatment and his life was saved.

However, his lower back still suffered irreparable damage.

"Dad, have you found out where Second Master Li lives?" Li Junjie asked with a frown.

Li Tiangan, displeased with his tone, glared at him and said, "Do you think people like him are as easy to locate as our family?"

"I didn't mean that, but you know, I'm in this condition because of Gu Chen. He used to be untouchable because he had Miss Liu's backing. Now that Second Master Li is in Lin'an, this is my only chance for revenge!" Li Junjie became increasingly agitated.

The whole of Lin'an was abuzz with rumors that Second Master Li had come for Liu Hanyan. Naturally, he didn't doubt it.

Li Tiangan frowned, "Even if that's true, the Li family is filled with talented people. Even if we find Second Master Li, what makes you think he will favor you?"

Li Junjie scowled. That was indeed a problem.

But soon, he came up with a solution and looked at Li Tiangan, "Dad, I have an idea, but it might trouble you a bit."

Li Tiangan was taken aback, not expecting his son to target him, and said irritably, "What are you scheming now? Don't expect me to drag the family into any risk!"

"I won't!"

Li Junjie confidently said, "This plan involves no risk. On the contrary, if it works, it will benefit our family greatly, with no downside!"

"Oh?"

Intrigued, Li Tiangan was hooked and asked curiously, "Tell me more!"
