Chapter 754: Chapter 754 She Was Once Drugged (4)
With a “click,” the call ended.
“Mr. Gu!” Zhao Chen immediately continued, “Anyway, Miss Lu is definitely fine now, so why not just wait for her to call you back? If all else fails, you can find her at Jiabao’s press conference tonight.”
Seeing that the BOSS’s complexion hadn’t improved, Zhao Chen wisely shut up after speaking.
After Zhao Chen left the office, Gu Annan sat down again.
He couldn’t find his own wife and had to rely on understanding her work schedule to personally go look for her.
After thinking for a moment, he dialed another number, this time reaching out to Jiu Rong.
“She didn’t come to work in the afternoon?”
On the other end, Jiu Rong put down a pile of reports, feeling a headache after checking for Lu Wanwan.
He was a CEO, after all, who had the time to pay attention to the movements of the employees all day.
“No, it was said she had something to do this afternoon; the project she was responsible for cooperating with you guys, she said she would explain everything to you on her own. Aren’t you paying a little too much attention to your ex-wife? Space, you know. With you wanting to keep track of her whereabouts all the time, any woman would be frightened of you, only wanting to stay far away from you,” Jiu Rong advised.
Gu Annan scoffed at this suggestion, “My wife and I’s affairs are none of your concern. You gave your wife space and she didn’t get any closer to you either.”
Jiu Rong’s mouth twitched in response.
What does it have to do with me if you can’t find your wife…
Moreover, claiming to be the current partner when she’s clearly the ex-wife, where’s the shame?
Jiu Rong wanted to retort but, in the end, he generously let it go.
Pointing out sore spots, uncovering weaknesses, that’s not what gentlemen do.
Besides, making Gu Annan furiously embarrassed did him no good, especially since his own dark history was in Gu Annan’s hands.
“In that case, I don’t think this bit of space is needed. I’ll fire her and you can take her on. Seeing her every day at work, maybe that will put your mind at rest,” Jiu Rong offered.
“Jiu Rong, you’re not giving her a raise but want to fire her? Are you sure?”
Jiu Rong, suffering at the slightly threatening tone, felt a surge of bitterness.
He glanced at the calendar, which was getting close to payday.
“Raise!” Jiu Rong gritted his teeth. He would raise his ex-wife’s salary to the point where that guy would fire him!
Gu Annan hung up the phone, his mood still foul.
Finally, a dark light gleamed in his eyes as he checked on Bai Lingyun and Jiu Li one after the other.
The results reassured him.
Bai Lingyun was busy filming, and Jiu Li had been sent away on business by Jiu Rong, too busy to be at leisure.
But what on earth was this woman up to, or was she deliberately avoiding him?
Gu Annan furrowed his brows and took out an exquisite jewelry box.
Inside were matching rings that he had bought six years ago.
Up till now, he hadn’t had the chance to let her know.
“If you want to know the results of each test, it will probably take close to a week,” Song Ning switched off the last diagnostic device, “If anything comes up earlier, I will notify you as soon as possible.”
Lu Wanwan nodded, a trace of worry still evident in her expression.
Song Ning gave her a look, “Don’t worry, based on the results we know so far, it shouldn’t affect your child. Didn’t you also have tests done before? There were no health issues with the child.”
“I know,” she said weakly, “I just can’t help but worry a little.”
“The illness your daughter had last time is unrelated to this. Getting sick is a normal part of life, don’t overthink it,” Song Ning pondered for a moment, “Even if we look at the worst-case scenario, it would probably only affect your marital life somewhat.”
Lu Wanwan’s face reddened slightly, and she quickly nodded, “Doctor Song, then I’ll be leaving first.”
She glanced at the wall clock; it was almost time for the press conference to start.
