Chapter 272: Chapter 272 BOSS is Heartbroken (4) Chapter 272: Chapter 272 BOSS is Heartbroken (4) “If it hadn’t been for your call that day, I wouldn’t have let her resign so easily. Thankfully, Gu Annan didn’t say much afterward, otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to explain it,”
Jiu Rong rubbed his temples with a headache, looking out the window, “It’s better that she left. At the time, I almost decided to just sell ‘Zui Entertainment’ to Gu Annan, but then I thought it wasn’t just my decision to make since you have a share too, so I dropped the idea.”
Bai Lingyun casually said, “She’s already gone, so why bring up these things now?”
Looking at the red light, he stopped the car, and on a whim suggested, “Why don’t we call her out for a meal together?”
“No thanks,” Jiu Rong said, thinking of something, “I don’t want to be threatened by Gu Annan again.”
“He’s still threatening you?” Bai Lingyun raised an eyebrow.
Jiu Rong narrowed his eyes slightly, “I have a feeling that Lu Wanwan getting into Nanyi wasn’t a coincidence. I heard Nanyi changed ownership not too long ago, and I think…”
“It’s Gu Annan behind it?” He let out a faint, cold laugh, saying indifferently, “You think he hasn’t given up.”
“Think about Ji Jiayi, if it weren’t for Lu Wanwan’s involvement, he wouldn’t have completely disregarded the Ji Family’s face. He dug up everything on them…” As Jiu Rong thought about his own dark history, he shuddered involuntarily.
Lu Wanwan’s work went very smoothly. The workload was manageable, the salary was decent, and she didn’t have to work overtime.
She had time to make some extra money and could spend more time with her grandma.
The next day after work, she met up with Xu Yuan, who had just ‘returned from a business trip’ abroad, at Charm Color, a fairly well-known lounge bar in Manchester.
“Hey, go easy on the drinks,” Lu Wanwan said as she saw Xu Yuan down three bombers upon arrival, sensing that it wasn’t going to be a peaceful night, at least not a sober one.
“Don’t worry, I can’t get drunk,” Xu Yuan casually waved a hand, then turned to give the bartender a sweet smile, “Handsome, can I have another one please?”
The bartender returned the smile, “Just a moment.”
“If you give her one more drink, I’ll trash this place,” an incongruous voice interrupted.
Shao Zhixing appeared at some point, slapping a stack of renminbi on the table, he coldly told the bartender, “Don’t you dare serve her another.”
“Shao Zhixing, you’re crazy!”
Shao Zhixing looked at her nonchalantly, with one eyebrow raised, “Loud and clear, you seem to have plenty of energy.”
Xu Yuan gritted her teeth, her face flushed, but she was silent for a long time.
She turned to Lu Wanwan, who had been quiet the whole time, and said, “Let’s go somewhere else to drink.”
Lu Wanwan was shaking a cocktail in her hand, sipping it while she said, “If we change locations, he’ll anyway. It’ll be the same in the end.”
Xu Yuan was resigned; she just wanted to meet up with her best friend, but it seemed she couldn’t shake off this man.
“Hey, you’ve had quite a bit too, be careful or Gu Annan might come after you,” Xu Yuan warned.
Lu Wanwan’s expression changed dramatically, as if a hammer had heavily struck her heart.
“It’s nothing.” She quickly regained her composure, “He won’t come. I have nothing to do with him.”
Shao Zhixing was sitting on the side, legs crossed, tapping something on his phone.
On hearing this, he looked up, “Don’t stir the pot. She’s already happily broken up.”
Xu Yuan’s eyes widened, “Impossible!”
Lu Wanwan was startled by her reaction and laughed, “What’s so impossible? Don’t blame me for not telling you; you’ve been out of touch for too long.”
“Wanwan…” Xu Yuan looked at her, forcing a cheerful face, feeling distressed, “How could this happen? How could Gu Annan treat you like that?”
Shao Zhixing objected, “Don’t wrongly accuse people.”
