"What?" A cold, hard voice tinged with a few shades of dissatisfaction.
"No, no, Old Master Gu." Gu Yuluo immediately corrected herself, calming her startled heart before speaking again, "May I ask what brings Old Master Gu here?"
"Why did you take her to Soraya?" Gu Huaijin’s voice lacked warmth, and although it was typically cold, this time, Gu Yuluo discerned an extra twelve degrees of dissatisfaction and chill.
Hearing Gu Huaijin mention Soraya, Gu Yuluo’s heart immediately leapt.
Damn! How did this son of a b**** find out?!
"Has her memory recovered?" Instead of answering Gu Yuluo’s question, Gu Huaijin asked another.
Seeing that Gu Huaijin did not press her on the purpose of her visit to Soraya, Gu Yuluo secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
If he knew she had taken the girl to raid Luya Base at night, she feared she would indeed be skinned alive.
"No? Then why did you go looking for her, aren’t you afraid she’ll cling to you again?" Gu Huaijin clearly did not believe Gu Yuluo’s words.
Listening to Gu Huaijin’s question, Gu Yuluo was slightly taken aback, a flicker of unusual emotion flashed through her eyes, and she remained silent, eyes slightly lowered.
"I asked you to check on her, you said you couldn’t find her, so how come you went looking for her the next day?" Seeing that Gu Yuluo was not talking, Gu Huaijin changed the subject and asked.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuluo couldn’t help but laugh.
Settling accounts after the fall?
She could do that, too.
"That day I found a Diviner to calculate her location; I intended to send it to you, but when I tried, I found out you’d blocked me. Ah~ You tell me, how was I supposed to inform you when you had me blocked?" Her tone was innocent yet utterly provoking.
You’ve been blocked before, and it’s not like you ever stayed quietly on the blacklist.
Not continuing with the subject, Gu Huaijin asked again, "Did she say you’re coming back tomorrow?"
The girl hadn’t told her at all!
She had reason to suspect that the girl intended to leave her behind.
Feeling so frustrated she wanted to shut down, yet on the surface, she still responded to Gu Huaijin gruffly, "What for?"
"She agreed to return to Haicheng tomorrow. You’ll come back with her."
She actually agreed?!
"Agreed." Gu Huaijin spoke indifferently.
"What did you say to her that made her agree?!" Gu Yuluo’s eyes were filled with suspicion.
"She has always listened to me, is that strange?"
His voice was cold, his tone aloof, but somehow, Gu Yuluo heard a note of bragging.
However, from Gu Huaijin’s words, one could guess that the bastard definitely knew about the girl’s change of heart.
"She will listen to you? Money can barely buy..." Gu Yuluo’s voice suddenly faltered as she mentioned money.
It couldn’t really have been the money, could it?
Before Gu Yuluo could speak again, Gu Huaijin had already hung up the phone.
With the phone hung up by Gu Huaijin, Gu Yuluo cursed silently to her device and got up.
She opened the door intending to find Gu Zhiqi, only to discover two people standing at the doorway.
Seeing Shen Tong led by Wei Jingyu, Gu Yuluo raised her eyebrows, "Oh, she’s not rejecting you anymore?"
"I’ve come to bid farewell. Thank you for your help this time," Wei Jingyu set aside his usual irreverence, addressing Gu Yuluo with grave sincerity.
"Being this formal with me?"
At her words, Wei Jingyu smiled, "Fine, I won’t stand on ceremony then. I’m taking Tongtong back to the Alliance. Do you and your sister need someone to escort you?"
"What, the people you send can get the two of us into Xia Country?" Gu Yuluo raised her eyebrows, looking at Wei Jingyu.
