The owner of the number seemed to be waiting for him on purpose, and the phone was connected as soon as it rang.
"Hello, Mr. Gu?" The voice on the other end of the phone was deep and mellow, like a bottle of old wine that had just been opened. The tail tone rose slightly, giving people an indescribable feeling, like when a lover was in his ear. Whisper.
Gu Peilang looked down at the business card in his hand, and said in a low and cold voice, "Seventh Master."
"Mr. Gu's call came a little faster than I expected. I thought you would call me again tomorrow at the earliest. Or... not at all." The man on the other end of the phone laughed softly.
Gu Peilang blinked, his tone not fluctuating in the slightest: "I called because I wanted to say thank you to the seventh master."
On the top floor of the hotel facing the Gu family, a man in a white bathrobe stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with a wine glass, overlooking the night view of the city. The bluetooth earphone in his left ear was beating with blue light under the warm light. He listened to the sound inside and hooked the corner of his lips carelessly.
"You're welcome, Mr. Gu, I said, that's my sincerity."
The person on the other side of the phone didn't speak, and the man wasn't in a hurry. He held the wine glass in front of him, squinting to appreciate the blurred luster reflected by the liquid in the glass under the light, and after a long time he raised his head slightly and drank it.
The cup and the table collided with a slight sound, which rang at the same time as the voice on the phone.
"I'm sorry about the cooperation."
Without hearing a satisfactory answer, the man's half-squinted eyes flashed with sharp light. He turned and walked to the sofa and sat down, took the lighter on the coffee table and played with it.
"Mr. Gu refused so quickly. Could it be that my sincerity is not enough?"
Gu Peilang: "No, it's just that the seventh master has a better choice than working with the Gu family."
"Cooperating with the Gu family is my best choice." The blue flames danced at the fingertips, and then fell into the man's bottomless black pupils.
"For a win-win cooperation, Mr. Gu might as well think about it again? I really want to make a friend with Mr. Gu. We can talk about funding separately if you want..." Having said this, the man deliberately paused, and then again He continued, "Of course, if President Gu doesn't dislike it, I can do one thing for you.
"Like... finding the person who drove your parents into the car."
Gu Peilang's hand holding the phone suddenly tightened, and the back of his hand burst into blue veins.
The man tightened his voice: "Seventh Master is joking, the driver who was identified by the forensic medical examiner died on the spot."
"It was also an accident determined by the police back then, but what happened?" The man interrupted him slowly.
Gu Peilang's breathing suddenly became heavy, only to hear the person on the phone say again: "President Gu, many times, what justice makes you see is often not the truth of the matter, otherwise, there would be no such thing in this world. A lot of wrongful convictions, what do you think?"
"Where is the other person now?" Gu Peilang took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, the back of his hand holding the armrest was violently blue.
"Golden Triangle, my people are watching him secretly. If President Gu wants to see him, I will call them immediately and ask them to bring him back to you."
Gu Peilang didn't speak, his dark eyes fell on the group photo on the bedside table, his jaw line was so tight.
After a long time, he let go of the hand holding the armrest as if he had lost his strength, and said hoarsely: "Make an appointment, I will invite Seventh Master to dinner."
The man on the sofa rolled his eyes: "You're welcome, since that's the case, it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Let's go tomorrow night, Wells restaurant, see you at seven o'clock."
Gu Peilang answered and hung up the phone, the room fell silent.
The man controlled the wheelchair and stepped forward, picked up the group photo on the bedside table, and gently stroked the man and woman in the photo with his fingertips. The dark and deep eyes were filled with ice and snow.
the next day
As soon as Su Jinyu woke up, he received a call from Fang Mingzhi. The young man raised his voice on the phone to ask him not to forget his birthday tomorrow night, which was at Fang's villa.
With a big yawn, Su Jinyu stepped on her slippers and went to the bathroom, looking at herself with puffy panda eye bags hanging in the mirror, she was almost taken aback.
He was so excited last night that he didn't sleep well all night.
After hurriedly talking to the person on the phone, Su Jinyu hung up the phone, then quickly turned on the faucet and slapped two handfuls of cold water on the face.
At this time, Gu Peilang had already dined in the restaurant, and Su Jinyu hurriedly washed up and walked downstairs.
The man, dressed in a sophisticated suit, sat at the dining table and looked at the newspaper in his hand, and raised his head from the newspaper after hearing voices from far and near.
"Are you up? Hurry up and eat, it's getting cold."
Su Jinyu looked at Gu Peilang's untouched breakfast, and was full of guilt.
He walked over quickly and sat down next to the person, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry Pei Lang, I overslept."
Gu Peilang put down the newspaper in his hand and shook his head, his eyes fell on his face, and his beautiful brows were slightly wrinkled: "Did you sleep well last night?"
Su Jinyu raised his hand and touched his face, smiling a little embarrassedly: "Ah... a little insomnia... "
The man's brows did not relax: "Let's go back and rest after eating in a while."
Su Jinyu listened to the concern in the other party's words, her heart was like a piece of honey, and her breath was sweet.
"I see." He nodded in response, the smile on his face was indescribably cute.
Liu Qi came to pick him up to the company on time. After getting in the car, Gu Peilang looked at the man who was standing outside the car and smiled at him, and beckoned him to step forward.
Even though this action fell in the eyes of Assistant Liu in the front driver's seat, it was very similar to his action of summoning his family to Laifu. Outside the car, Su Jinyu still stepped forward, and his beautiful eyes were shining brightly at the people in the car. Humans are like some kind of large animals.
"Pei Lang, did you forget to bring something?"
Gu Peilang looked at the corners of his lips raised, and his mood became unstoppably happy.
He motioned the other party to bend down, and Su Jinyu did the same.
The delicate and heroic brows widened in front of him, Gu Peilang raised his hand and clasped the back of his neck and moved forward slightly. A feather-light kiss brushed the other's warm lips and landed on the corners of his lips.
Su Jinyu's pupils opened slightly, and he stared blankly at the man in front of him, unable to react.
Liu Qi in the front row was shocked when he saw this scene, he sat up straight and looked at the windshield in front of him without squinting.
Gu Peilang raised his hand and rubbed lightly on the man's head, his voice low and gentle: "I have something to do at night, so I might be back a little late, remember to eat well by yourself, and call me if you have anything, okay? "
Su Jinyu was so blown away by the man's series of sweet crit attacks that he couldn't find the north. He only knew that he kept nodding and giggling.
"Will it be late?" He was a little reluctant.
"I'll try to be back as soon as possible."
Su Jinyu opened his mouth, wanted to say something but closed it again, and finally just nodded, his tone full of loss: "Well, then you have to remember to eat on time, don't be too tired from work, just let it go if you have anything. The people below do it, I... I'll wait for you at home."
Gu Peilang looked at his ears that were drooping down from the top of his head, and hoarse his voice slightly: "Okay."
