She is very different from before

"What did you see?"

"The person controlling you, is he called Yue Jingfeng? He didn't bring any knockout drugs that day, but he already got a room upstairs in advance. It's obvious that he wanted to get drunk on purpose so that you could go up. " Li Muyan said indifferently: "I want to know his goal."

Gu Qingyao's finger curled slightly as she thought back to the terrible things that happened in her previous life. She could not suppress the anger in her heart any longer.

"I'm afraid he's going to do it again." Li Muyan said: "That's why I put a tracking device on you."

"But you didn't tell me."

"If your acting is too bad, it might make this person retreat. I can't take the risk." Li Muyan's tone sounded as though it was an incomparably natural thing.

Even though she said those words without holding back, Gu Qingyao remained silent for a while, and felt that she was not in a bad mood. She curled her lips and laughed: "So I still have another question, Mr. Li, why are you protecting me in the end?"

Seemingly having heard an extremely interesting question, Li Muyan chuckled lightly, and then said lightly: "This is not protection, Miss Gu does not need to misunderstand."

"Or maybe …" Gu Qingyao hesitated, but a myriad of questions was actually interrupted by Li Muyan without asking it at all —

"We'll talk about it on Thursday. Wear the necklace first. There are no bugs on it, so you can rest assured." Li Muyan had already knocked on the door, obviously busy.

Gu Qingyao was silent for a moment, then said: "Alright."

She needed help, and the most important thing right now was if she really needed Li Muyan's help, then what did she need to provide.

A person like Li Muyan was not lacking in money or power, what kind of reward would he ask for from me?

Gu Qingyao didn't know.

She closed her eyes and returned to the car.

Ling Xiaoman was on her phone, smiling slightly, seeing that Gu Qingyao had returned, she quickly put away her phone: "Is Miss Gu's problem settled?"

"Yes, everything has been settled," Gu Qingyao looked at Ling Xiaoman and smiled: "Speaking of which, is Assistant Ling married?"

Ling Xiaoman was shocked, and immediately shook her head: "No, no, mm … I had a failed relationship, so I didn't want to get married. "

"If that's the case..." Gu Qingyao sighed and said: "Sorry about that, I just saw Assistant Ling smiling so sweetly, I thought you were busy dating."

Ling Xiaoman felt her heart tremble a little, but she still maintained her almost perfect smile and ridiculed: "Miss Gu is overthinking it. I'm being squeezed by the Gourmet every day, and I don't have much time left, so how can I have the time to go out and date?"

Gu Qingyao didn't continue speaking and leaned back, watching the scenery outside the window.

Ling Xiaoman kept her phone, and very quickly, she was at the bottom of Gu's.

This time, Ling Xiaoman learnt her lesson and got off the car first. She opened the car door for Gu Qingyao.

Gu Qingyao did not hold back, she walked down and nodded her head: "Thank you, Assistant Ling."

Ling Xiaoman was unable to describe the taste at the bottom of her heart.

As a special assistance from the CEO, she was different from an ordinary assistant. She was also one of the most important people in the company, so how could she serve someone like this?

But Gu Qingyao's arrogant appearance, simply looked like … This was a matter that was perfectly justified for her.

She was the young miss of a grand family, and she was like a maid.

Ling Xiaoman coughed lightly, then said: "Miss, then should I bring you to the CEO's office first?"

"Mm. Alright." Gu Qingyao nodded her head, her smile perfect and beautiful.

Gu Qingyao looked quite similar to Gu Yanzhi, but she had been too proud and arrogant for so many years. Seeing her like this, Gu Yanzhi did not bring her into any business activities, so this was the first time Gu Qingyao came to the Gu's on her own accord.

Gu Qingyao noticed that Ling Xiaoman had brought her to the side door, and had even been sending messages. She didn't know if she was reporting something or not.

Gu Qingyao did not speak, and only cast her gaze outside the window.

The elevator moved quickly up, and they quickly arrived at the CEO's office on the top floor. Gu Yanzhi was there, but Gu Qingyao did not expect it at all.

"Mr. Li, why are you here?"

Her surprised and happy voice made Li Muyan's knit eyebrows relax a little, and he smiled faintly: "There's a Cooperation cases."

"Is that so?" Gu Qingyao smiled as she walked in, only to see that Gu Yanzhi's gaze was still fixated on her, as though she was sizing up Gu Qingyao's clothes.

Gu Yanzhi quickly regained his senses, coughed lightly: "Why did Qingyao come? This is the Li Family's CEO, Mr. Li Muyan, and this is my daughter, Gu Qingyao … "

"Mn." Li Muyan nodded, and said lightly: "I met his yesterday."

Gu Yanzhi thought about what happened yesterday and his face darkened. Just as he was about to speak, Gu Qingyao's gaze fell on Ling Xiaoman, and she said naturally: "Assistant Ling, thank you for bringing me here. There is nothing here that Assistant Ling can help with, you can leave first."

Ling Xiaoman's hand uneasily curled up, and seeing that Gu Yanzhi did not object, she unwillingly turned around and left.

"This child …" Gu Yanzhi frowned, but only said: "It was all thanks to Mr. Li last night, or else who knows what kind of trouble we would have caused."

There was a bit of a smile on Li Muyan's lips but his eyes were cold, "From what Yue Jingfeng said, Mr. Gu is aware of what happened last night."

Gu Yanzhi frowned, "Qing Yao is already this old, so I can't keep her at home forever. It's only natural for her to go out occasionally to play."

"There's something wrong with that bar. According to the police, it's been a focus of investigation for the past few days. If you want to go out in the future, don't go out there." Li Muyan said this towards Gu Qingyao.

"Yes, I know." Gu Qingyao replied softly, "I won't in the future."

It was very difficult for Li Muyan to connect this kind of obedient Gu Qingyao with the person who had just spoken to him with such speed.

This little girl … It was truly different from before.

As he was thinking in his heart, his fingertips gently caressed the cup, and then he said indifferently: "This weekend, I will not be going to Mr. Gu's Birthday Feast."

"But... You haven't appeared for so many years, and my father has indeed missed you. " Gu Yanzhi said in a stiff tone.

"Although I am his adopted son in name, but neither you nor I have ever considered each other as family, right? Mr. Gu's birthday present will be sent over as usual, but I do not wish to see my name anywhere. " A trace of disgust flashed past Li Muyan's eyes, as he said coldly.

"Then why did you agree to this cooperation?"

"This cooperation is only a business cooperation. If the Gourmet does not differentiate between public and private, then I believe this collaboration does not need to continue." Li Muyan stood up after he finished speaking, and said: "Let's end it here for today, I'll be leaving first."

His gaze landed on Gu Qingyao's body, and finally added a bit of warmth. "See you on Thursday."

"See you on Thursday." Gu Qingyao subconsciously agreed.

Li Muyan walked out in large strides. Only then did he have the time to carefully size up his daughter: "Why are you here?"

"I want to take a look at the company. I don't know if I can start my internship here, after all, I really like to manage things. Gu's's internship opportunities are really too rare for me." Gu Qingyao said with a smile.

Gu Qingyao carefully examined Gu Yanzhi's expression, and she felt that Gu Yanzhi's face was definitely not filled with happiness.

She hesitated for a moment before asking, "Father, do you feel that this is inappropriate?"

"It's not a question of suitability." Gu Yanzhi cut him off stiffly and fell silent for a moment. Then he said: "You are too young, I don't want you to get involved with the company's matters."

"But I want to help father in the future …" Gu Qingyao said with a smile, but the boulder at the bottom of his heart was getting heavier.
