Gu Siting was sitting with his back facing Yuan Meng as he listened to her question calmly.
From the beginning to the end, he said nothing.
But his dark eyes were filled with grief and pain.
Apart from finding her and seeing her again, nothing else mattered to him.
“Don’t forget what you promised.”
Yuan Meng left the restaurant and got into the car.
Alex Anderson got into the car and complained to her. “Hey, I am here because you asked me to come. Aren’t you touched?”
“Yes, I am so touched, alright?” Yuan Meng glanced at the blonde man next to her.
Alex said, “Then give me a kiss to show your gratitude.”
Yuan Meng sneered. “I can give you a slap of gratitude. Want to taste it?”
He was pestering her and courting her, but he was also just on a date with another woman. He smelled so strongly of perfume, she wondered which woman he had just come from.
Alex sighed and reminded her.
“If you keep investigating Gu Weiwei, I will not be happy.”
“It is none of your business.” Yuan Meng snorted.
Alex said, “If you keep investigating, I won’t help you anymore.”
If he had not helped to conceal the truth, the old man would have known what she was doing.
He could keep it a secret for the time being, but if she kept searching, the old man would find out sooner or later.
“Okay, okay, no more checking.” Yuan Meng waved her hands, indicating that she would not interfere any more.
At this point, there was nothing more she needed to investigate.
What to do next would depend on Weiwei herself.
“Also, don’t get involved with the Fu Family. I don’t like dealing with the Fu Family,” Alex Anderson reminded her.
Yuan Meng nodded and made a call to Gu Weiwei, in case she was worried.
The phone rang twice and the call went through. Gu Weiwei sounded anxious.
“How are you?”
“I got away, don’t worry,” Yuan Meng said with a relaxed tone.
“He did not make things difficult for you?” Gu Weiwei asked.
She had been thinking that if she did not return the call in an hour, she would tell Fu Hanzheng and the others about how they were looking for He Linna behind his back, and see if he could think of a way.
Unexpectedly, she had already escaped.
“It is not certain who made things difficult for who. I made a deal with him and he let me go,” Yuan Meng said.
Gu Weiwei said, “You made an exchange?”
Yuan Meng thought for a while and confessed.
“Sorry, I exchanged your things for my freedom.”
“What things?” Gu Weiwei became increasingly confused.
“Didn’t you get Gu Siting a birthday present before the accident? I told him about it,” Yuan Meng said.
She knew that she did not want to have anything to do with Gu Siting of the Gu Family, but she had even told Gu Siting about her gift in order to get away.
Gu Weiwei smiled. “It is fine, as long as you can get away safely.”
She had forgotten about that thing, and it was a good thing that it had helped her get away.
Yuan Meng said, “Gu Siting knew that He Linna had something to do with the attack, but I lied to him and said that she was dead. I did not give her to him.”
Gu Weiwei stayed silent for a while. “Didn’t Anthony Gustav find you?”
“No, that spoilt prince is being played with.” Having said the words, Yuan Meng reminded her, “But now that things have turned out this way, Fu Hanzheng might find out that Yuan Shuo and I are looking for He Linna. I am afraid that you must explain to him.”
