Chapter 1269: Testing
“CEO Gu really has a beautiful family, I’m sure many people are envious,” Nalan Jing agreed and leaned back in his chair . He added, ” I heard CEO Gu bought a precious love stone some time ago . Might I have the honor of looking at it?”
“I’m afraid Mr . Nalan’s timing is rather unfortunate, as I already turned it into a ring,” Gu Juexi replied . There was no expression on his face as he stared at Nalan Jing .
Nalan Jing smiled and nodded, signaling that he did not mind .
Gu Juexi kept twirling his phone in his hand . He knew that Nalan Jing was testing him, just as he was testing Nalan Jing . Both of them were completely aware of it .
If Nalan Jing wanted to seek revenge for Wen Lan, he might want to kill them so he would definitely be an enemy .
However, if Nalan Jing came to see him for Ye Di’s issue, then they might be able to work out a deal .
Currently, Nalan Jing seemed relaxed and casual . He had not noticed anything from his expression so far .
“I am just curious . Where did CEO Gu get the diamond from?” Nalan Jing asked directly .
There were only a handful of people who actually knew that CEO Gu had purchased the diamond from Princess Pink at an exorbitant price . Those people were all Gu Enterprise staff .
So Nalan Jing did not know the truth yet .
Gu Juexi chuckled, “I’m afraid I can’t tell you, it’s personal . ”
“I see . ” Nalan Jing responded pleasantly, his expression giving nothing away . “I should invite Mrs . Gu to a meal soon . ”
Gu Juexi unlocked his handphone . Suddenly, a text message from Ye Yuwei came in . Gu Tianxin was missing .
Gu Juexi remained calm and continued checking his phone . He replied, “No problem . If the timing is fine, why not?”
Nalan Jing stood up, ready to leave . Gu Juexi got up as well .
Nalan Jing paused to look back at Gu Juexi after taking a few steps . “I heard CEO Gu has another aunt . I am not sure whether it is true . ”
Gu Juexi smiled charmingly and replied, “It seems like everyone knows about my family’s ugly history . It’s true, but that aunt is not close to the Gu Family . Even Aunt Gu does not have close ties with Gu Family . I believe the old Mr . Gu made a mistake back in the past . ”
Nalan Jing’s stare became more intense .
“CEO Gu is more reserved and tactful than I thought,” Nalan Jing murmured, as if trying to imply something else .
Gu Juexi did not get annoyed with his remark and chuckled instead . “Mr . Nalan is too courteous . In the corporate world, only tactful people manage to last until the end, don’t they?”
Nalan Jing left the place without responding .
Gu Juexi waited for Nalan Jing to enter the elevator before heading back to his own office . He immediately called Ye Yuwei and asked, “How did she go missing?”
The resting room door was intact and there was no sign of a struggle so it seemed that Gu Tianxin had left the place of her own free will .
Perhaps she was intimidated or she did not trust Gu Juexi . So, she had decided to leave .
“She was not here when I reached,” said Ye Yuwei . “I think she left the place by herself . ”
She left the place by herself?
Gu Juexi suddenly recalled Nalan Jing’s question just now . It seemed that Nalan Jing was far more complicated than he had thought .
“If she herself is out looking for trouble, then nobody can save her,” Gu Juexi sneered . She was only registered as his aunt on paper . He had no responsibility to protect her at all .
Ye Yuwei had not expected Gu Juexi to say something like that . “You mentioned something very important being in Aunt Gu’s safe box before this, didn’t you?”
It might be a key related to what had happened that year, including the truth behind her aunt’s death .
