Xue Jiarui explained once again in detail, "Last time outside Luoshui Apartment, the white supercar."
When he said this, Gu Yan remembered, so it was him.
"I later realized that I might have hit someone and went back, but you were gone," Xue Jiarui continued.
"Oh, I see. It’s not a big deal, I’m fine, don’t worry about it." Besides, she had cursed at him.
Xue Jiarui wanted to say something more, but Gu Yan hurriedly interrupted, "Well, sir, if there’s nothing else, we’ll be going."
Gu Yan didn’t dare to look at Tang Yuxiu behind Xue Jiarui and dragged Qin Junnan’s hand away quickly.
Qin Junnan looked at Gu Yan holding his hand and only felt a warmth spreading in his heart.
Tang Yuxiu watched the two of them walk away, eyes narrowed slightly, impossible to decipher what he was thinking.
Xue Jiarui, seeing them gone, touched his nose in boredom and turned around.
"The one just now was the Young Master of the Qin Family, right?"
"Yes," Tang Yuxiu responded flatly, stepping away, and Xue Jiarui followed him.
"Although the Qin Family’s industries differ from your Tang Family’s, they shouldn’t be underestimated. I heard that this Young Master of the Qin Family is quite capable, almost comparable to how you were back then."
Tang Yuxiu snorted disdainfully, "That was back then. In my eyes now, he’s just a rookie."
"You do have a point."
The Qin Family is involved in electronics, dining, and apparel industries, while the Tang Family primarily deals with real estate, jewelry, and entertainment. Compared to the Qin Family, the Tang Family is much more powerful. One could say that in Jiang City, no one dares challenge the Tang Family.
"Next month, your old man will step back and hand the business over to you. Your uncles, aunts, and cousins won’t be quiet again."
"What right do they have to talk?" Tang Yuxiu sneered. A bunch of freeloaders. If it weren’t for the old man’s sentimentality towards siblings, they would’ve been out on their own.
"Hey bro, I heard they’re trying to find a way to deal with you," Xue Jiarui said, putting his hand on Tang Yuxiu’s shoulder.
Tang Yuxiu glanced at him indifferently, making Xue Jiarui feel a chill down his hand. He sheepishly removed his hand.
Tang Yuxiu took out a handkerchief, wiped his shoulder several times, and tossed it into the trash bin next to him.
"Let them come if they have the guts." Tang Yuxiu’s tone was a mix of disdain and arrogance, but he certainly had the capacity to back it up.
Xue Jiarui selectively ignored the remark, muttering softly behind him, "I don’t know who could put up with someone like you!"
After all these years of friendship, what’s the big deal about a pat? He didn’t have germs!
Qin Junnan sent Gu Yan to the place where they met. He wanted to ask where she worked, but Gu Yan steadfastly refused to say.
It wasn’t because she was embarrassed to say it, but because she didn’t want him to know.
After the meal just now, she clearly realized the distance between them and didn’t want to have deeper interactions.
She feared she would fall in too deep to extricate herself.
By then, she would be the one suffering alone, while others remained indifferent.
Seeing her insistence, Qin Junnan no longer asked, comforting himself with the thought that there was plenty of time, and he would make her accept him eventually.
"Then I’ll see you next time," he said.
Gu Yan forced a smile, "See you next time."
Wondering whether there would be a next time. Gu Yan pondered.
As she watched Qin Junnan’s car disappear into the traffic, Gu Yan slowly made her way back to Luoshui Apartment.
