Chapter 1226: Biased Wei Lingnan

Subconsciously, she didn’t want to leave too many traces of that planet in this world.

She didn’t even understand why herself.

Jin Ling’er looked at her in confusion. She reached out and probed her forehead before saying, “Yingluo, are you sick? What avatar planet, don’t tell me you became an avatar in your dream?”

Xia Yingluo smiled bitterly. “Thus the hallucinating. Tell me, do you think Wei Lingnan takes drugs? I look at him sometimes and think he does.” Otherwise, how could he have so much nonsense in him?

Jin Ling’er became nervous. “It’s really hard for you to say this. I heard that many rich people take drugs. Maybe he’s really a drug addict? Marijuana, heroin, cocaine, there are all sorts of drugs… Oh my gosh, Yingluo, nothing can happen to you. How about you go to the hospital for a drug test?”

Xia Yingluo reassured her. “It’s not those.”

Although her family did not touch the drug business, many of the families she knew dealt with drugs. Since young, her father Li Lei had taught her and her two brothers to identify all kinds of drugs in case someone were to try to harm them in the future.

Xia Yingluo was sure, even if Wei Lingnan used hallucinogens, it wasn’t a regular type.

Otherwise, she won’t be ignorant.

Was it really useful to go to the hospital? She wasn’t sure, but she nodded to Jin Ling’er. “I’ll go to the hospital in the afternoon.”

Jin Ling’er said eagerly, “What are you waiting for? Don’t eat the cake anymore, we’ll go now!”

She got up.

Xia Yingluo smiled helplessly and had no choice but to follow her.

The two walked out of the dessert shop one after the other and didn’t notice that Pei Yan and Gu Jinxiu at the next table had strange expressions.

“Xia Yingluo takes drugs?” After a brief moment of shock, Pei Yan first responded and said to Gu Jinxiu, “You have information against her now, Jinxiu. We can send someone to follow her and take the results of her drug test to the training camp. Then we’ll let the training camp expel her!”

Gu Jinxiu said nothing.

She was thinking about another thing—Wei Lingnan takes drugs?

In any case, she didn’t believe it. Although she didn’t dare to say that she knew the man a hundred percent, she also knew how calm he was and how much self-control he had. How could such a person do drugs? But he had such a cutting-edge biopharmaceutical company, could he have developed any new drugs? Taken it himself as an experiment?

She was restless and said to Pei Yan, “I’m tired, let’s go.”

Pei Yan was a little disappointed. “I originally wanted to ask you to come along and understand what happened to Xia Yingluo.”

Gu Jinxiu reluctantly gave a smile. “Go ahead and tell me the results.” She also wanted to figure out what was going on with Xia Yingluo. But the most important thing was—what happened between her and Wei Lingnan?

Why did Wei Lingnan give her hallucinogens?

Gu Jinxiu picked up her limited edition lambskin bag and walked out of the dessert shop.

A luxury car and the Gu driver waited at the mall door.

“Miss, where are you going?” he asked after Gu Jinxiu got into the car.

“The Wei Corporation,” Gu Jinxiu said.

Over the years, Gu Jinxiu went to Wei Family Biopharmaceutical Company to find Wei Lingnan almost every month. The driver was already familiar with the road, and as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, he went to Wei Corporation. The scenery regressed along the way, gradually changing from the bustling city center to the suburban industrial junction. The car stopped in front of a semi-old building, with a plaque in front of the building written with the words: Wei Corporation Biopharmaceutical.

The driver didn’t understand. Why did the lady fall for a person in charge of a second-class enterprise that was far from being significant?

Gu Jinxiu got off the car gracefully and entered the building.

The decoration in the building looked better than its appearance, but it was still unusual. She pressed the elevator and went all the way to the chairman’s office on the top floor. The secretary at the entrance of the office recognized her and quickly connected her to Wei Lingnan’s special line.

After a few minutes, the door opened.

She walked in and saw Wei Lingnan waiting for her on the sofa in the office.

The summer sky sprinkled in through the gridded windows and fell on him, making him look beautiful. His slender figure with his legs overlapped randomly made him look like some sort of dangerous beast.

“You’re here,” he said as he looked at Gu Jinxiu.

Gu Jinxiu smiled. “I was shopping and found a tie clip that suited you, so I came to drop it by.” She scanned the office and found that it hadn’t changed much since the last time she was here. Even the purple teapot on the table didn’t change the angle.

Sometimes she wondered, Does Wei Lingnan usually not work here?

Apart from being clean and dust-free, it didn’t have any traces of activity.

And it seemed Wei Lingnan didn’t mind her discovering and doubting this.

Wei Lingnan looked at her and said, “Tie clips? You’re thoughtful.”

He was always so indifferent to her, so polite as if she was an outsider. Gu Jinxiu unexpectedly remembered how he had held Xia Yingluo in his arms that day. Wei Lingnan was different at that time. At that time, he was… emotional.

A sour feeling arose in her heart, and the astringent feeling made her feel a sense of crisis.

She smiled reluctantly and took out the tie clip that she had carefully selected for him in the morning. “See if it suits you.”

“Everything you buy suits.” He didn’t try it, didn’t even look at it. He just put it aside.

Gu Jinxiu’s heart was sour. For many years, this man had been so indifferent to her, but who told her to like him and need him? She had ignored so many of her wealthy suitors and had come to him with tenderness, only to be treated so indifferently. Before, when Xia Yingluo had not appeared, she had thought that he was born cold and it hadn’t mattered much.

But now there was Xia Yingluo.

His attitude towards Xia Yingluo turned out to be completely different from how he treated her.

This recognition made Gu Jinxiu startled.

She hesitated, and said to Wei Lingnan, “I met Xia Yingluo today.”

Wei Lingnan didn’t speak, just looked at her.

Gu Jinxiu was numb under his intense glance. She took a breath secretly and gathered up courage before saying, “We fancied a dress. It wasn’t her size, but was still snatched by her.” She gave a wronged expression.

Wei Lingnan actually smiled. “It’s just a small matter, why are you fussing over it with a little girl?”

Gu Jinxiu’s breath was stuck in her heart and couldn’t get out. On the way, she thought that Wei Lingnan might be partial, but she did not expect his heart to be so biased. Who was the fiancee between the two of them?

But she dared not question him, not even showing a little unhappy expression.

Because she couldn’t imagine what it would be like to lose him. She couldn’t afford to lose him.
