Zhao Chen was at the company and quickly turned on his computer, "I’ll have Mu Xing take someone over, and once the list is found, it’ll be sent to your phone, President Gu."
"Look for someone with the surname Mo and who has children. Also, a child named Deng Yizhou." Gu Annan remembered the name on that little girl’s phone; maybe it was the boy from before.
Zhao Chen felt uneasy inside; President Gu’s recent requests were getting more and more bizarre.
Gu Annan hung up the phone but remained standing at the railing on the second floor.
He had no intention of joining the wedding festivities. Right now, all he wanted was to find those two children.
The more he tried to recall the boy’s appearance, the more it seemed to blur.
He always felt that he hadn’t seen clearly, so his mind filled in too many gaps.
Lu Wanwan took Xu Yuan to parking lot C. It was outdoors and, at this time, quite empty of people.
Amid a sea of luxury cars, they looked somewhat disheveled.
"What exactly happened just now?" Lu Wanwan saw the mark on Xu Yuan’s wrist and frowned, "I mean, you’re a strong fighter; you shouldn’t be completely defenseless, right?"
Xu Yuan leaned against the wall, her usual boldness nowhere to be found on her face at the moment.
"My childhood friend, we actually don’t have that sort of relationship. He doesn’t like women, and his family can’t accept it, so it’s been a secret all along. If I didn’t seek him out, my father would probably force me to marry someone else. But Wanwan, I really don’t want to," she leaned on Lu Wanwan’s shoulder, "Shao Zhiheng’s mother also came to see me more than once. Although I really dislike her, what she said made a lot of sense."
"What kind of sense?" Lu Wanwan had never heard her talk about these things before.
Xu Yuan bit her lip, "The infighting in the Shao Family is too intense. If they forced him to choose between me and their vast family enterprise, he might be impulsive now, but what about later? I don’t like others making sacrifices for me, and besides, I’ve always felt that I don’t like him that much, so I don’t want him to give up anything because of me. But these past years haven’t been unhappy, and hearing his words just now, I suddenly felt so happy. Is there no hope for me?"
"Both of you are hopeless, waiting until things get out of hand for a blazing fire to start," Lu Wanwan sighed.
Xu Yuan gave her a push, "What blazing fire, it’s not that exaggerated. But tell me, will his calling off the wedding have a big negative impact? This is my fault, isn’t it?"
"Anyway, stop overthinking," Lu Wanwan patted her back, "You should know Shao Zhiheng better than I do. He wouldn’t listen to anything you say. He must have made up his mind the moment he knew the truth; probably not even nine bulls could drag him back. Forget about the marriage; it seems to me you’ll never get rid of him in this lifetime."
"Wuwu..." Xu Yuan rushed to her and hugged her, "Wanwan, why does it feel like I’ve come full circle back to where I started? The dream I had from the beginning is gone."
"What dream did you have?"
"Don’t you remember I said I wanted to experience life with seven different styles of handsome guys before getting married?"
"..." Lu Wanwan rubbed her forehead, "You’ve had too many dreams like that. You also said it was your dream to take me to the host club in Japan, and as a result..."
It was her luck that took a turn for the worse, as she was caught red-handed by Gu Annan.
"Is this all the people with the surname Mo?" Gu Annan’s expression turned somber as he received the list from Zhao Chen.
"Yes, President Gu, not only is there no one named Mo Ziyu, but also among those with the surname Mo, none have children that old. As for Deng Yizhou, there’s no such person either."
