Chapter 346: Chapter 346: The person in the photo… is him? (1) Chapter 346: Chapter 346: The person in the photo… is him? (1) Zhao Chen thought about it and said, “The boss’s conditions are quite good.”
“I wonder how many properties he has in Manchester?” Linda asked, gossiping.
“Aiyo, my apologies, I’m just too blunt when I speak. You two take your time, I’ll be off,” Linda interpreted Zhao Chen’s speechlessness as embarrassment and waved goodbye to them with a triumphant smile.
“Miss Lu, who is that woman?” Zhao Chen asked, looking at the inexplicably delighted woman, “I really don’t know how I’m supposed to answer that kind of question.”
Lu Wanwan shook her head, “Don’t mind her. Xiaozhao, did you need something from me?”
While walking towards the car, Zhao Chen said, “It’s , Mr. Gu is on a business trip. I was really too busy yesterday and didn’t get a chance to tell you. I came over especially today and on the way, I can take Miss Lu back.”
“On a business trip?”
“Yes, Mr. Gu had to go to the United Kingdom because of some urgent matters. But don’t worry, Miss Lu, if you have anything you need recently, you can reach out to me. You should have my number.”
When Lu Wanwan couldn’t get through to Gu Annan on the phone, she really did consider asking Zhao Chen, but she held back.
If Gu Annan just wanted her to find that unknown fiance and had no intention to appear himself, why should she go to the trouble of asking?
“I don’t really have anything.” Lu Wanwan thought for a moment and stopped walking, “I can get back on my own, no need to trouble you, Xiaozhao.”
Zhao Chen opened the car door, insisting, “Miss Lu, I’m already here, and it’s on the way anyway. And… do you really not consider me a friend?”
At this, Lu Wanwan inevitably shrugged her shoulders helplessly, “Alright then, for your sake.”
Zhao Chen saw the first step had gone smoothly, and his smile grew even warmer.
Before the boss left, he had given instructions that Miss Lu needed to investigate something, and he had to cooperate fully.
Upon finding out what it was, Zhao Chen immediately decided to take the initiative.
After all, if Miss Lu no longer wanted to investigate, what then? Wouldn’t that mean the task couldn’t be completed?
Anyway, every time he pretended to give clues to Miss Lu, those deliberate and obvious flaws went unnoticed by her, so there was no need to wait for her to ask.
Zhao Chen was driving a Rolls-Royce that Lu Wanwan had never seen before, and she didn’t think much about why the car had changed again.
After getting into the passenger seat, she was immediately drawn to several photo frames in the car.
Zhao Chen closed the car door and pretended to be calm as he said, “Oh, this… These are some of Mr. Gu’s childhood photographs. Actually, this car has been around for a while; it was a car that the Mrs. often rode in, so Mr. Gu’s photos have always been inside. Because Mr. Gu’s Bentley was recently sent for repair, I brought this car out again.”
There were a total of five photo frames, each showing Gu Annan at different stages of his life.
Zhao Chen was inwardly perturbed, constantly casting side glances at Lu Wanwan’s reaction.
Mr. Gu hadn’t specified which period the photos should be from, so he had brought several.
Luckily Miss Lu was now distracted by the photos, not thinking about how illogical it was to have so many photo frames in a car.
Ordinarily, even if a mother put her son’s photo in the car, one would be enough.
Besides, the Mrs. hadn’t been in the country for a long time.
“Why has he always had an ice-cold face since childhood, not even smiling?” Lu Wanwan said, amused.
This aloof and distant demeanor, it seems, was congenital.
Zhao Chen hadn’t yet heard Lu Wanwan ask the question he had been waiting for, and after a casual glance, she had put the photos back in their original place, with only one left in her hand.
He became a little anxious, “Miss Lu, don’t you think that Mr. Gu has been good looking since he was young?”
