Gu Yeze looked at Tan Xin, “Since you have returned from abroad, you should settle down first. You can go home now if you have nothing else to do.”

He was now asking Tan Xin to leave, for he didn’t want someone to bother him and Bai Weijin.

Tan Xin immediately knew what he meant and said, “Well, I’ll visit Grandma Gu and Yeyu when I’m free. I haven’t seen them for a long time. Cheerio, then.”

Then she went out and closed the door for them.

As soon as she stepped out, Gu Yeze pinched Bai Weijin’s nose, “Miss me, huh?”

Bai Weijin turned away, “You wish! I have said that I just walk around casually.”

She walked to Gu Yeze’s desk while she was saying.

The place where Tan Xin stood still smelled of her perfume.

Bai Weijin frowned with annoyance. Bai Weijin naturally disliked Tan Xin, not because Tan Xin was really beautiful.

The reason was that Tan Xin wasn’t a simple woman and even Bai Weijin couldn’t see through her.

Tan Xin was remarkably elegant and graceful. No wonder Gu Yeze treated her surprisingly nicely. She was different from those cheeky temptresses in the past.

Bai Weijin saw ambition in Tan Xin’s eyes, which was the only thing she knew for sure.

Before Bai Weijin could think further, Gu Yeze hugged her from behind and interrupted Bai Weijin’s thoughts.

“Walk around? I’ll give you one more chance and tell me why you are here.” Gu Yeze grabbed Bai Weijin’s waist and made her itch.

Bai Weijin immediately begged for mercy, “All right, all right! I came to see you. Are you happy now?”

Gu Yeze let her go with satisfaction.

“Well, yes.”

‘That’s it?’ Bai Weijin looked at Gu Yeze, gritting her teeth. He forced Bai Weijin to admit that she had come here intentionally, and then only uttered two words in reply.

They flirted for a while until Bai Weijin realized that no work could be done if they kept being like this.

“Ok, stop it. I came to you for something serious.” Bai Weijin fixed her clothes and sat down.

Gu Yeze then turned to the documents and browsed them roughly.

“Celebration, what’s wrong?”

‘Why does Gu Yeze look like he doesn’t care about such an important centennial celebration?’

“The prosperity of Gu’s Group is the most important thing. What is so important about the celebration? Nevertheless, my grandma and parents pay attention to the ceremony. So I’ll leave it to you.”

That made sense. For Gu Yeze, things like the centennial celebration were just a formality.

“Ok, I will go to work now and come back to you after I finish sorting out these documents.” Bai Weijin shook the documents in her hands.

Bai Weijin didn’t want to stay here anymore after such an incident. The smell of the woman’s perfume made her feel uncomfortable.

Gu Yeze wasn’t aware of anything. He just pulled her over and kissed her on the lips before letting her go.

After she came out of his office, her face darkened instantly. ‘Who the hell is Tan Xin?’

Bai Weijin remembered Tan Xin’s last sentence. Tan Xin seemed to get along well with Grandma Gu and Yeyu. Bai Weijin decided to ask Gu Yeyu.

“Weijin!” From the receiver came Gu Yeyu’s excited voice.

The little girl was really excellent in changing topics. Bai Weijin listened to her rambling on things related to Chu Jiran as well as how much she missed Jiran since they were not on speaking terms now.

After a long while, Bai Weijin brought the topic back on track.

“Yeyu, do you know who is Tan Xin?”

“Tan Xin? Of course I know. How do you know her? Did Yeze tell you? What’s the matter?” Bai Weijin was bombarded with questions by Gu Yeyu only after raising one question.

Bai Weijin only answered one of the girl’s questions, “I just saw her in Yeze’s office.”

“Saw her? Did Tan Xin return home? Why haven’t I heard anything?” Gu Yeyu was surprised.

Only then did Bai Weijin realize that the first thing Tan Xin did after returning home was to meet Gu Yeze.

“So, who is she?” Bai Weijin asked the question the answer to which she wanted to know most.

Gu Yeyu thought for a moment and said, “Tan Xin is the daughter of Tan family, and she is very capable. She has been studying abroad for her postgraduate degree these years. When I got into trouble abroad, she always cleaned up the mess for me. Just like you, Tan Xin is very, very capable and smart.”

Gu Yeyu babbled on things about Tan Xin. Bai Weijin could tell that she liked Tan Xin very much.

Gu Yeyu said and suddenly stopped.

“… By the way, Tan Xin was originally engaged to Yeze. My father and grandma are both fond of her, but Yeze doesn’t love her, so the engagement was off.”

When she finished, she swallowed her saliva, waiting for Bai Weijin’s reaction.

How could Gu Yeyu forget such an important thing?

Bai Weijin was stunned. This was the thing that mattered. She didn’t expect that Tan Xin and Gu Yeze should have such a story.

“Weijin?” Gu Yeyu couldn’t help asking, seeing Bai Weijin kept silent.

“Nothing. I’m just curious.” Bai Weijin pretended not to care.

Gu Yeyu hesitated for a moment.

“Then why did Tan Xin go to see Yeze?”

“I don’t know. They should have finished talking by the time I went, and then she left.”

Gu Yeyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Well, there must be nothing between them. She must have some business to talk with Yeze about. Take it easy, Weijin.”

No matter how innocent Gu Yeyu was, she now guessed that Weijin was wary of Tan Xin’s existence.

Gu Yeyu comforted Bai Weijin and added, “There is nothing between Yeze and Tan Xin. They contacted only for business reasons. Yeze appreciates Tan Xin very much. But he no longer contacts Tan Xin after he met you. Don’t worry!”

Bai Weijin smiled. Although Gu Yeyu was telling the truth, Bai Weijin intuitively thought that Tan Xin was not as simple as she looked like.

“I see. Why have you been staying at home recently?”

Bai Weijin didn’t want to talk about Tan Xin anymore, so she changed the topic.

Gu Yeyu was depressed in an instant, “I can’t handle the affairs about the company, and I have no contact with… Jiran. I can only stay at home.”

The little girl was really too idle. Chu Jiran was the center of her life in the past, but now she had nothing to do.

“Gu’s Group will soon celebrate its centennial. Cheer up and you will be in the thick of work.”

Although Bai Weijin only mentioned the centennial celebration, Gu Yeyu quickly thought of something…

‘Gu’s Group will definitely have exchanges with many enterprises in such a big event. They must include Chu’s Group. Then I will have to meet Jiran in many cases.’

“I’ll help tomorrow!”

Gu Yeyu hastily promised, leaving Bai Weijin speechless.

She didn’t expect Yeyu to help her. It would be fine as long as the girl did not cause any trouble.
