290: Chapter 290: Where is Gu Zhiqi?

The call hadn’t gone through yet when the door to the break room was pushed open.

“Miss Gu, your milk tea and cake,” Li Xiao handed over the milk tea and cake he was carrying to Gu Zhiqi.

“Thank you,” Gu Zhiqi responded without any pretense, a faint smile tinting her eyes as she took the cake and milk tea from Li Xiao.

Seeing this, Gu Mengyang glanced at Li Xiao indifferently, then made a fist, brought it to his lips, and slightly coughed before speaking calmly, “The money for the cake was provided by me.”

Gu Zhiqi paused in her movements and glanced at him, then two seconds later, she nodded gently and whispered, “Even brothers should settle accounts clearly.” With that, she turned to Li Xiao, “How much are these in total?”

“Eighty-eight in total.”

With the mindset of answering whatever Miss Gu asked, Li Xiao immediately responded to Gu Zhiqi’s question.

Thus, Gu Zhiqi transferred 88 yuan to Gu Mengyang.

Gu Mengyang “…”

Is that what I meant?

Is that really what I meant?!

Gu Mengyang looked at Li Xiao with a cool gaze, the bright, shinning words “troublesome” in the depths of his eyes.

Feeling a chill down his spine, Li Xiao instinctively stood up straight, looking back pitifully at Gu Mengyang, his eyes screaming “I was wrong.”

Ignoring the exchange of looks between the two men, Gu Zhiqi had already inserted a straw and started slurping her milk tea.

“When are Qiao Nan and Zhou Qingyan coming?

Hurry them up,” Gu Mengyang withdrew his gaze and said indifferently to Li Xiao.

“Yes,” Li Xiao quickly responded and then exited with the fastest speed.

**

Jiang City Luo Family.

“Aunt Chen, Aunt Chen.”

Jiang Fen and Luo Shuangshuang hadn’t come home last night and didn’t return to the Luo Family until nine o’clock in the morning.

As soon as she arrived home, Jiang Fen started looking for Gu Zhiqi everywhere but failed to find her, so she could only turn to Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen was in the kitchen, concocting medicine for Luo Fenghe, and when she heard Jiang Fen’s call, she responded softly.

“Where is that bitch Gu Zhiqi?

Which room did she stay in last night?” Jiang Fen took a few large steps to the kitchen doorway and asked Aunt Chen aggressively, her face full of anger and her tone accusatory.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Chen’s brows furrowed slightly, her gaze remained on the fire, and she occasionally glanced at her watch, speaking without turning her head, “Miss Gu has already left; she didn’t come back last night.”

“What?!”

“She left?” Jiang Fen exclaimed in shock on hearing that Gu Zhiqi had left.

“She left,” Aunt Chen reiterated calmly while managing the heat of the medicine, not once turning back to look at Jiang Fen.

Mr.

Gu had said that the medicine required constant attention to the heat; it couldn’t be wrong.

If it were wrong, the effectiveness of the medicine would be greatly reduced.

Seeing Aunt Chen’s attitude, Jiang Fen felt a surge of anger welling up inside her.

But since Aunt Chen was brought in by Luo Jing, Jiang Fen couldn’t do anything to her, and so she could only stand at the kitchen door and vent her frustration by cursing Gu Zhiqi.

“That little bitch Gu Zhiqi, running away after hurting my daughter, she can’t get off that easily, the little whore, no wonder nobody wants her, I better not see her again, if she dares to appear before me, I’ll skin her alive…” Jiang Fen stood at the kitchen doorway cursing a blue streak.

Aunt Chen merely frowned slightly at the incessant cursing, staying silent.

And Jiang Fen’s tirade grew more vigorous, cursing with full names and a string of profanities, sounding like a shrew.

Luo Shuangshuang, sitting on the sofa, grew impatient listening to it all.

“Mom, can you just stop cursing already?

It’s so annoying,” Luo Shuangshuang turned around and snapped at Jiang Fen impatiently.
