Gu Hengbo's cheek muscles twitched rapidly and his temples were throbbing, but neither of them could compare to the palpitations caused by the violent beating of his heart when he was stared at by the girl's wolf-like eyes.
He pinched his palm, his face was cold, his eyes were gloomy, and he lowered his voice to threaten: "Ziyin has a hidden family behind her, you can't win her. I have put the ladder in front of you, if you are smart, go down the ladder. Otherwise..."
Qiao Nian had heard people talking about the "hidden family" behind Ji Zinyin more than once, and her ears were almost callused.
She scratched her ears and looked at Gu Hengbo again with a calm expression: "Then you can ask Ji Ziyin to bring the hidden family to deal with me."
“…” Gu Hengbo was speechless after hearing what she said.
If he could have asked Ji Zinyin to teach Qiao Nian a lesson, why would he have waited until now
After all, both the Gu family and himself were ruined by the girl in front of him.
If he could take revenge, he would have done it long ago!
But every time he mentioned Qiao Nian to Ji Ziyin, Ji Ziyin would find an excuse to avoid the question or act extremely unhappy.
He wouldn't be tactless to bring it up again.
Gu Hengbo suppressed the hatred surging in his chest, pursed his lips, and said straightforwardly: "Do you have a painting in your hand?"
"Huh?" Qiao Nian originally thought that he just didn't know something, so he came to find her self-righteously.
Who knew that Gu Hengbo actually knew about the painting.
"How much do you want?"
However, it seems that Gu Hengbo knows very little information, and it is even possible that Ji Zinyin did not tell him.
"I want this painting, you sell it to me. Money is not a problem, as long as you name a sum, I will give it to you at my discretion."
"… "
Qiao Nian looked at him deeply, and was very sure that he probably knew very little, but just heard from somewhere that Ji Zinyin wanted the painting in her hand, so he ran over to take the painting and find Ji Zinyin to "present the treasure".
She didn't deliberately embarrass Gu Hengbo. She just looked away boredly and said calmly, "If she wants a painting, let her come to me and get it herself."
Having said that, Qiao Nian was about to leave.
Gu Hengbo wanted to stop her: "I told you, money is not a problem! Sell the painting to me and you can ask for the price."
Qiao Nian glanced at him, his eyes as sharp as a knife, his hands still in his pockets, but the aura around him became fierce: "Get out of the way."
"I won't say it a third time."
"You should still remember the impact you brought to the Gu family last time. Do you think the Gu family can do it again?"
Gu Hengbo's outstretched hand subconsciously froze in mid-air, and his expression also became stiff.
He watched the girl leave without looking back and didn't dare to chase her.
The Gu family driver watched the person leave and was more anxious than him: "Master, why did you let her go? She hasn't received the invitation yet. Do you want me to call her back?"
Gu Hengbo came back to his senses at this time, looking at the girl's receding back with a sinister look, and the trembling muscles on his face soon calmed down.
With a gloomy face, he slowly put down his hand: "Let's go, go back."
The driver followed in surprise and said, "Master, you didn't invite her to go with you?"
“…The banquet is about to begin. It will be too late if we don’t go back now.” Gu Hengbo did not give a direct answer, but his throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton and he felt uncomfortable.
The driver saw that he looked unhappy, so he stopped talking. He just glanced at the direction where the girl left from a distance, then turned back, opened the door and got in the car.
