Chapter 318: No Matter Whose Fault it is, Does it Really Matter? (8)

When Gu Yusheng answered the phone, his fingertip accidentally touched the speakerphone key, and the secretary’s respectful voice blared out of the phone. “Master Gu, when will you be back home? Everyone is still waiting for you at the meeting.”

Waiting for him at the meeting… Qin Zhi’ai turned to Gu Yusheng and took a look at him.

Gu Yusheng answered “oh” and remembered that when he had received the phone call from Liang Doukou, he had been so anxious that he had forgotten to dismiss everyone.

As he turned the phone off of speakerphone, he said into the microphone, “I have something else to deal with here. You can inform them that the meeting is finished.”

Without the amplified sound, Qin Zhi’ai couldn’t hear what the secretary said. After a while, Gu Yusheng said, “Is it this evening? Refuse it, um… about which day? I’m not sure. I’ll check it later… Okay…”

After Gu Yusheng hung up, Qin Zhi’ai peeked at him several times. Finally, she still couldn’t help asking, “Just now, before you came here, were you in a meeting?”

Gu Yusheng was a little surprised at the fact that she knew. Frowning slightly for a minute, he thought that maybe she had guessed it from the secretary’s words. Then he nodded, looked at the traffic in front of him, and said, “Yes.”

It turned out that he had been in a meeting when he had suddenly received her phone call. Without explaining anything to the company’s staff, he had rushed over.

She had examined her call record and found Zhou Jing had called Gu Yusheng about twenty minutes before Lin Yi’s disturbance had been settled, so it had taken Gu Yusheng no more than twelve or thirteen minutes to arrive at the place where she was being photographed.

He must have been very worried on the road.

However… He doesn’t know that his worry, his anger after he arrived, and his unconditional support were in return responded to with a trick for personal gain.

Qin Zhi’ai, who had originally been uncomfortable, became even more upset. She even grew annoyed.

If I had seen through Zhou Jing’s trick earlier, he wouldn’t have been taken advantage of by her…

Holding her bag in her hand forcefully, Qin Zhi’ai sat quietly in the passenger seat with her eyes lowered for a long time before she calmed down.

She thought that what happened that day was just the beginning. Later, Zhou Jing would definitely try her best to attain greater benefits and glory for Liang Doukou using him.

He was the man whom she had loved for so many years. Even if Zhou Jing had threatened her, she still couldn’t pretend to know nothing and let him be deceived and used.

Moreover, Gu Yusheng, who had disregarded Liang Doukou in the past, had now changed his attitude because for her sake…

Thinking about this, Qin Zhi’ai felt more regretful and guilty. She wanted to talk to him, so she raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yusheng’s profile through the rearview mirror. Pondering for a moment, she chose the most appropriate wording, saying, “Actually, there are always some scuffles in the entertainment industry. You don’t have to take it so seriously…”

However, today’s situation seemed to have been a bit dangerous. Lin Yi attacked me…

Pausing for several seconds, Qin Zhi’ai continued, “The chances of an accident like what happened today are actually very low. Lin Yi was probably in a bad mood, so her emotions were out of control—”

“Lin Yi?” Qin Zhi’ai had said many words, but Gu Yusheng had only caught two words, Lin Yi. “Is she the same Lin Yi who took away your role and wanted to take your place?”

After being interrupted by him, Qin Zhi’ai turned her head and glanced at him, puzzled. “How do you know about that?”
