C182 (2/2)
The big screen in the middle had always been showing the news and the latest advertisements for the entertainment circle. Every employee would take a look at it before entering, Lu Qinan normally wouldn't pay much attention to it, but right now, he was completely frozen.
There was a picture of a man with eyebrows like swords and eyes like stars. His facial features were deep and beautiful, but he didn't show any expression. His pair of cold eyes were staring straight ahead …
”The unknowable darkness of the Wealthy House — some industrialist set on fire by a variety show is accused of rape?”
”Being abused from a young age and having her heart darkened, the dignified CEO of a corporation actually dared to vent his anger on a woman?”
There was also a slightly blurry picture, but the side of the face...
Lu Qinan froze there, even the fingers pinching his phone were trembling.
”This person... You must be talking about the Boss Gu s of the Gu's. ”
”Of course. He's the only big BOSS that's recently joined the variety show. ”I'm just telling you guys, there isn't such a perfect person in this world. There must be some hobbies in private …”
No, there wasn't any in Fourth Uncle.
Lu Qinan clenched her fists. She knew that the one who raped Qin Xuanman was Gu He.
She had been in a hurry to call Gu Zhongshen on the way out and rush to the Gu's, but she didn't manage to get through.
After a long while, he still didn't know how to change the number.
”Young Master Chu... Where is Fourth Uncle? He won't answer my phone. ”
The other side paused for a few seconds.
”Don't worry An An, I've seen the news. This matter will come out sooner or later, Lao Si won't mind it too much. ”Don't worry, he was just working at the company.”
”Sigh, I'll go look for someone. Don't panic yet.”
After hanging up, Zhu Zinan flipped through the news and quickly called the public relations department. He used his toes to think about who did it, and then quickly walked to the top floor. The office lights were still on, he pushed open the door.
The man sat on the sofa. The coffee in front of him had long since turned cold. He sat there expressionlessly, with a dazed look on his face.
His phone was still ringing.
”Gu Lao Si, what's wrong with you? An An is about to die from anxiety.”
Only then did Gu Zhongshen react and immediately put away the photo on the table, then quickly took the phone, with her lips tightly pursed, ”Alright, 6: 30, you should get off work first.”
”Mm …” Huanhuan was urging him to hurry up. However, are you really alright? ”The news...”
”Don't worry, let Little Wu handle it.”
After making an appointment with Lin Qinghuan at 7 o'clock, the woman was unreasonable that he would be late, so Zhu Zinan did not dare delay any longer and quickly left.
In the office, An An was quiet. The man clenched the photo in his hand and forced himself to calm down.
”Where are you Fourth Uncle? ”Why don't you answer the phone?”
Lu Qinan thought that she was in a hurry, and was in a bad mood, ”Didn't you know I would be worried?”
”Sorry.”
Gu Zhongshen pressed between his brows, his voice hoarse. Hearing the little girl's reprimanding voice, for some reason, he actually felt happy.
”Still in the office …” ”Just now, I was busy.”
”Humph!” ”Wait there obediently, I've already arrived!”
Lu Qinan hung up the phone with a ”Pa” sound. Not long later, footsteps came from outside the office.
Gu Zhongshen saw the small body that came in towards the sunset, her face was covered with a layer of white perspiration, the sky was extremely cold and she was panting.
”What's wrong with you? Isn't it just a picture …?” We all know that it's fake.
The man didn't react at all. He only calmly gazed at her. The girl's hand tightly gripped his, but there was no other reaction from the beginning to the end.
Lu Qinan stiffened for a moment, and tightly held onto his hand, which was almost devoid of heat. Her palm felt a bit cold, and she bit her lips, but was still unable to stop herself from opening her mouth, ”I can explain this, you didn't do this, aren't you afraid of others spouting nonsense?”
”Besides, how long has it been since you were a child and how long it has been since you were a child? You don't make any decisions …”
As she spoke, she had no more confidence.
Before he had yet to see the news, Lu Qinan had never heard of him being mistreated when he was young. Although the old man was strict, he did things with reason.
However, it seemed to be true.
She did not understand, but when she raised her head, Gu Zhongshen's face was bright, and her facial features could not be seen clearly. Only a faint shadow seemed to be covering her face, and her eyes seemed to be looking at, hiding a lot of unfathomable bitter and cold emotions.
Suddenly, the man stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace. He rested his head on her shoulders and leaned over with all his strength. His arm rested on her waist.
Silence.
”Fourth Uncle.”
Lu Qinan pushed him, her body was held tightly by him, but she did not explain the situation, her heart was still in her throat, her hands rested on the man's chest, after a long while she slowly pushed him away.
However, the man didn't let go. He held her tighter and his Adam's apple rolled. His voice seemed to have been in her ears for a long time.
”Let Fourth Uncle Bao Bao do it.”
