Chapter 18: Cancelled

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xie Ru felt that she could perform a song on stage and the mysterious person still would not appear.

Gu Liao’s phone call kept ringing through her phone over and over again like an alarm. Xie Ru cursed in her heart. That woman Xie Wutong was really useless. She could not even keep a man away properly.

Even she herself did not realize how big the smile on her lips was when she looked at Gu Liao’s phone call.

“Joseph, why hasn’t the mysterious person showed up yet?”

“Oh, dear. That is strange. Q is usually a punctual Easterner.”

Xie Ru groaned. “Joseph, I don’t care what kind of friendship you two have. This person better show up soon or I am sending him a message personally.”

“Don’t be angry, my dear. I’ll contact Q. Don’t be anxious. How about you order yourself a cup of very delicious coffee first?”

“No, Joseph. This is the final call. Don’t arrange for me to work with him again.”

Xie Ru took a sip of the coffee. The bitter taste deeply stimulated her brain, allowing her to keep her rationality. This was the first time someone had stood her up and she cursed in her heart.

“Where is she?”

“Young Master Gu, the surveillance footage showed that after Miss Xie Wutong entered with Young Madam, the former came back out very quickly. Her expression was indeed anxious. However, after Miss Xie Wutong came out, Young Madam came out as well.”

“What happened after that?”

“After that, Young Madam didn’t seem to be able to navigate properly as she walked in the opposite direction. We have already gone to look for her.”

Gu Liao cursed at the nonsense he just heard. Xie Ru’s eyes couldn’t see. If she could, it would be a medical miracle.

Xie Ru’s phone should be about to explode from his calls, but the person on the other end still didn’t pick up. He looked around in annoyance. There were so few people coming and going. Who was Xie Ru going to ask for directions?

Xie Ru must have been in despair. How could such a girl who loved to cry get through this in one piece? Why wasn’t he by her side to protect her in a time like this?

At this moment, his phone suddenly vibrated. Gu Liao was filled with joy but then his eyes instantly turned cold. How could he forget to meet his partner?

He picked up and simply said, “Canceled.” Then he immediately hung up.

It turned out that Xie Ru was already so important to him. He started to laugh at himself. He didn’t expect that his heart would have fallen into the hands of a woman.

“Don’t call me again. It’s canceled.”

“Gu Liao?”

Gu Liao took a look at the screen. It was Xie Ru.

“Xie Ru, where are you? Wait, is there anyone around you? Where are you?”

“I think an amusement park. There are a lot of children here.”

“Okay, don’t move. I’ll be there in a moment.”

Gu Liao suddenly felt something strange well up his body. He forcefully suppressed it and ran to the amusement park not far away in a panic. He had never felt this way before.

Xie Ru looked at the person approaching and her heart felt warm.

“Haven’t you seen through a woman like Xie Wutong? When the Xie family forced you to sign the share transfer agreement, you-”

“Share transfer agreement?”

Xie Ru asked doubtfully. Although she didn’t show it on the surface, her heart was full of twists and turns. Gu Liao really knew the wishes of the Xie family’s three people. Everything was under his control.

“It’s okay. I’ll help solve this matter. Don’t interact with the Xie family anymore. You must bring someone you trust when you go out. Where’s Xiao Gu? Why didn’t you let Xiao Gu follow you?”

Xie Ru paused for a moment before she realized who Gu Liao was talking about. She didn’t expect Gu Liao to accept the name of the guide dog so easily.

“Xie Wutong said that she would come along, so…”

Suddenly, Xie Ru’s shoulders felt heavy..
