Chapter 349: Chapter 349: The person in the photo… is him? (4) Chapter 349: Chapter 349: The person in the photo… is him? (4) “No, no problem, I was just…where is he? When exactly will he return? I have some things, wanted to ask him.”
“Probably needs another three or four days,” Zhao Chen thought to himself as he internally awarded himself a perfect score for completing the mission.
“Do you have any way to contact him, his mobile is unreachable.”
“That’s the thing, Mr. Gu’s private number wasn’t brought along, this time it’s due to some business matters beyond my control. Although I do have his emergency contact number, Mr. Gu has said that it should only be used in extremely urgent situations. Miss Lu, are you in dire need of contacting Mr. Gu right now?”
“Then never mind, it’s not that important.”
“Miss Lu, rest assured, I will pass on the message when Mr. Gu returns.”
“It’s actually not that urgent… Xiaozhao, you better not tell him, I’ll ask another time.”
From Lu Wanwan’s tone, Zhao Chen could also tell that her emotions were very scrambled at the moment.
After the call ended, Auntie Li smirked with a bit of gossip, “Recently, the young master and Miss Lu…”
“Yes,” Zhao Chen’s demeanor instantly shifted from downcast to radiant, “Auntie Li, I think Miss Lu will probably move back very soon. You all should be ready for this at any time.”
“Okay, okay,” Auntie Li responded, somewhat excited.
Watching Zhao Chen leave, she hurried back to her room, ready to make an overseas call to the madam.
The young master finally wouldn’t have to be single anymore, the madam could once again start looking forward to having grandchildren.
It was eleven-thirty in the middle of the day in the United Kingdom, and the gentle sunlight dispersed the chill of London a bit, casting golden rays upon a grandiose Georgian-style building.
Around the long table inside the room, twelve people were seated, and Gu Annan at the head of the table on the right, received Zhao Chen’s report via text message.
“Sorry, I need to cut my trip short,” he said, commanding respect even though the rest at the table were his seniors, “I’ll leave here in at most three days.”
“What? Are you serious?” Xu Yuan’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Lu Wanwan, “Is he really Gu Annan?”
Lu Wanwan came to visit Xu Yuan after work that day, taking the opportunity to share the news she hadn’t quite digested even after a full day.
“Wait, my head’s spinning.” Xu Yuan rubbed her head, “Thinking if my brain’s malfunctioning, that I heard wrong.”
Lu Wanwan became a bit flustered, quickly helping her to lie down, “You, with a concussion, should not overthink. Just listen to me. Anyway, the situation is , we’re just short of confirming it with Gu Annan. After all, I’m only guessing based on the two photos and his reactions on both occasions.”
“But he’s gone abroad on a business trip, right?” Xu Yuan spoke with indignation, “He must have left intentionally at this time. Wanwan, don’t fall for it, make sure to investigate the matter thoroughly. Even if it’s confirmed… Wait until Gu Annan comes back. By then, you should’ve calmed down quite a bit. Pretend nothing happened; he’s definitely waiting for you to naively ask.”
Lu Wanwan looked to the sky, she had naively spoken out twice already.
One time she said she knew this person, one time she directly said this was her fiance, marrying him was her mother’s dying wish.
“But how do I investigate, do I need to find someone from the Gu family and ask around?”
Xu Yuan stroked her chin, “The Gu family’s not in the country, you asking won’t help. Unless…”
