Chapter 434: Chapter 434: She is My Wife (5) Chapter 434: Chapter 434: She is My Wife (5) Lu Wanwan was sitting in the car, Gu Annan’s suit jacket draped over her, while he, wearing only a shirt, drove the car at a high speed.
Because of the speed, the wind that blew in through the windows was strong, causing the shirt to flutter loudly.
She glanced at him, and the wind seemed to make his expression even more stern.
Gu Annan’s lips were tightly pursed, and once the window was closed, there was not a single sound of wind in the car, just dead silence.
“Is this matter a bit troublesome?” she whispered lowly, her voice somewhat hoarse.
When Lu Wanwan was taken to the police station, regardless of the questions asked, she didn’t speak at all.
During this process, she had no idea what had happened outside, initially thinking it would just be a family matter.
Perhaps Gu Annan would take her from the police station, her father would ask her to apologize to Lin Yu, and so on, and then, whether or not the issue was cleared up and it was proven to be a setup, it would be settled privately in the end.
But she hadn’t expected that when Gu Annan took her out of the police station, there would be reporters already tailing them.
Gu Annan must have anticipated this and handled the surroundings accordingly, which is why the reporters weren’t able to stake out the front line; by the time they got there, they had already driven off.
That being said, this matter must not just be a family issue, but one that was thrown into the public eye.
She bowed her head, shrinking inside the oversized suit jacket, which made her look even more petite.
Her brows were tightly furrowed, knowing that this must have also been part of Lin Yu’s well-orchestrated plan.
Knowing that she wouldn’t let this go and couldn’t outfight herself, Lin Yu might as well be tougher on herself, using this method and the public for self-protection.
If the issue became a big deal, once Gu Annan stepped forward, it wouldn’t just involve Jin’an but also the Gu family.
Furthermore, if people started suspecting recent collaborations between Gu family and Jin’an, anyone with a motive might guess that this scandal could be the work of a competitor.
“Are you hurt?” His voice sounded cold, but not completely indifferent.
Lu Wanwan shook her head, “I’m fine, it was her who fell, I didn’t push her at all. Is it troublesome?”
She remembered the previous rumors involving Bai Lingyun, which had been suppressed.
But considering the different nature of this issue, she knew it wouldn’t be easy–Lin Yu probably had made thorough preparations this time.
“It’s okay, let’s go back first.”
This time they didn’t return to the Gu Mansion but went to an apartment near the Gu corporation instead.
“Hey, I know. Yes, I’ve taken her out already.” Gu Annan answered a call, with a cold smile in his eyes, “Public opinion? I don’t want to hear about public opinion right now. Find the hospital staff, and keep a close watch. They can’t live, but they can’t die either. Do I need to teach you how to handle it? Surely you’re not being played by a foolish woman?”
Lu Wanwan, after entering the room and taking off the jacket, listened to his icy voice, suspecting that the public opinion might be hard to manage.
Gu Annan ended the call and turned around, Lu Wanwan spoke up, “What can I do to minimize the impact?”
“Do nothing, don’t run around.” He thought for a moment, then lifted his eyelids, “You can’t run around anyway, there’s a restraining order; you’re just confined to the house. It’s more convenient for me to go to the company from here, so consider yourself under house arrest.”
Lu Wanwan pursed her lips, her face immediately scrunching up as she looked at him, “I haven’t hurt anyone, why should I be under house arrest?”
“…” Gu Annan looked at her like that and his temper suddenly cooled, “Next time be more careful. Don’t do anything until we find evidence.”
“I haven’t done anything. I’m also curious how she found out that I already knew about this matter,” she said.
