He seemed to be able to read her mind

Gu Qingyao looked at Gu Yanzhi, she could not suppress the anger in her heart.

She clearly remembered that when Gu Yanzhi went out, he said that he had been busy doing business, and Nian Wanru had sent him out with a smile.

Business is busy, is she just busy with Ling Xiaoman?

Gu Yanzhi subconsciously blocked in front of Ling Xiaoman, but he quickly recovered his calm expression. "Why is Mr. Li with Xiao Yao?"

"Mr. Gu has an appointment tonight?" Li Muyan's expression was very cold as he glanced at Ling Xiaoman.

Gu Yanzhi laughed: "How could that be, I'm here to discuss business, Ling Xiaoman is my assistant, Mr. Li should have met her before."

Ling Xiaoman bowed politely, but her gaze never bumped into Gu Qingyao.

Gu Qingyao said: "Then we will not disturb Father anymore."

There was a faint smile on her face. She looked calm and innocent.

Gu Yanzhi nodded his head: "Go home early, don't make your mother worry."

"Alright." Gu Qingyao nodded in agreement.

Gu Yanzhi's gaze paused on Li Muyan's face for a moment, then turned away as if nothing had happened: "Let's go."

Ling Xiaoman quickly followed.

Gu Qingyao did not speak. After a long while, she finally looked at Li Muyan.

"Your reaction is very interesting." Li Muyan laughed calmly.

Gu Qingyao raised her eyebrows.

"Mr. Gu and Ms. Nian have always been very loving. Logically speaking, as their children, you shouldn't have doubted them." Li Muyan said indifferently.

His eyes were sharp, as if he could see through Gu Qingyao's thoughts.

Gu Qingyao's heart trembled, and said in a low voice: "Perhaps it's just my imagination."

"Is that so? I thought there would be an opportunity, but of course, this has nothing to do with me. " Li Muyan said, and said: "Please come in."

"Hello, I've booked …"

"Young Master Li." Seeing Gu Qingyao and Li Muyan entering, the person at the door immediately bowed down to welcome them.

Gu Qingyao was startled, then looked at Li Muyan: "This is your property?"

"I just acquired some shares earlier, I'm a nameless shareholder." Li Muyan said indifferently.

Gu Qingyao understood and could not help but laugh: "Mr. Li wanted me to come here to dine, as expected of a businessman."

"I'll swipe my card today." Li Muyan said calmly: "You're still young, there's no need to be courteous to me on this matter."

Gu Qingyao was stunned: "Mr. Li is much older than me?"

"Not really." Li Muyan looked like he was in a good mood, and even spoke a little more than usual, "I'm ten years older than you."

Gu Qingyao squinted her eyes.

Ten years old …

But he was already his uncle. It seemed that he had lost quite a bit.

Very quickly, the two of them took a seat in the private box. Li Muyan looked at Gu Qingyao and asked: "Take a look at the menu, do you like it?"

Gu Qingyao lazily flipped it open and only sighed: "Didn't Mr. Li already know everything about me like the back of his hand?"

"Indeed." Li Muyan did not deny it, and acknowledged it with a raise of his eyebrows.

Gu Qingyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and could only say: "From what Mr. Li and I know …. The difference is great. "

Sometimes Gu Qingyao felt really strange. In his previous life, Li Muyan didn't know if he had also appeared at that bar, and even until he inexplicably died, Li Muyan had never appeared in his life. Then, wouldn't everything that happened in his previous life have nothing to do with him?

Li Muyan chuckled and took the initiative to pour Gu Qingyao a cup of tea.

"Mr. Li does not like to appear in front of the media, even though it caused a lot of rumors to spread, Mr. Li turned a deaf ear to them. People said that Mr. Li was a man of few words, and normally, he did not like to talk much. Gu Qingyao racked her brains.

Li Muyan smiled.

He looked at Gu Qingyao for a while, and then suddenly asked, "I'm talking about you."

Gu Qingyao went silent.

Perhaps the Li Muyan in her impression was sufficiently mysterious. She could not see through Li Muyan's thoughts, and could not guess where Li Muyan was going to go next. However —

"I think you're a good person."

Sent a good person card? Li Muyan did not say a word.

Gu Qingyao could only continue: "You have helped me a lot. From the looks of it, I do not have the ability to repay you."

"You will." Li Muyan said calmly.

The waiter just happened to push open the door and prepare the appetizers. There was dried ice on the appetizers, reflecting a hazy sense of beauty, and looking through the clouds, Gu Qingyao felt that Li Muyan seemed to be further and further away.

His smile was the same as always: "Don't worry about owing me."

Gu Qingyao shuddered unknowingly.

"You are very different from what the rumors say. According to the rumors, you are well protected by your family. You don't even have the slightest interest in business." Li Muyan said.

"So Mr. Li also said that it was a rumor." Gu Qingyao was a little worried.

Gu Qingyao had never thought about anything related to the future before she was eighteen years old. After all, she was born into the Gu family and was the only daughter of the Gu family.

But then she realized that her innocence had become a disaster.

No one could protect her in this storm.

Even …

She became the first victim.

Gu Qingyao closed her eyes, then said: "I want to ask for Mr. Li's help in one matter."

"Go ahead."

"Ling Xiaoman." Gu Qingyao looked up at Li Muyan and said seriously: "I feel that Ling Xiaoman is not simple. I checked the candidates of that batch and I have a lot of experience that was above Ling Xiaoman, but in the end father chose Ling Xiaoman as her special helper."

The corner of Li Muyan's mouth curved into a faint smile.

"I think there's a problem with that."

"Are you planning to track Ling Xiaoman?"

"Or my father." Gu Qingyao said with certainty.

"You better not provoke your father too early," Li Muyan cut a piece of raw ham into pieces gracefully and said, "It's not wise for you to make your father your enemy."

Gu Qingyao shivered: "I don't want to be enemies with him."

"But what you're doing now, aren't you doubting your father?" Li Muyan retorted: "Your father dotes on you, so you should use this favor to your advantage."

Gu Qingyao did not speak.

Li Muyan's words were too calm, so calm that it was as if there was no emotion in them.

She was silent for a long time before saying softly, "I just want to know the truth."

"And then?" There was a trace of ridicule in Li Muyan's eyes.

"Don't you want the truth as well? That's why you approached me. You said that you wanted to take back everything you had. The thing you want to take back, isn't it related to the Gu family? " Gu Qingyao asked.
