Chapter 79

When the man turned to communicate with others, Qi Zhao saw his side face and was sure that it was Qin Zhuo.

There is a particularly conspicuous patch of tender white on the stubbled head of the head like a sea urchin, and there is a somewhat red scar in the center of the skin that is less pigmented than the surrounding area.

Qin Zhuo's current image is not really friendly, but the people who are walking around him and toasting to him one after another are all kind.

Qin Zhuo, who was holding a wine glass in his hand, didn't even see a trace of reluctance on his face.

Qi Zhao didn't expect to see Qin Zhuo here, and after being surprised, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Zhou Dan replied that it was Qin's mother who invited her to participate in this event, so why was Qin Zhuo here?

She remembered that Han Sansheng had said before that his relationship with his mother was not good, so why did his attitude seem so cooperative?

Qi Zhao seemed to suddenly think of something and paused in his steps.

...Does Qin Zhuo know that she will attend this event?

The scenery and portraits in front of him became clearer with the distance, but Qi Zhao's thoughts became more and more confusing.

The pace of her steps slowed down, and Gu Ci, who was being held by Qi Zhao, was the first to notice something was wrong with her.

Gu Ci followed her gaze and his expression froze after he figured out who Qi Zhao's gaze was focused on.

Although Gu Ci was not very sensitive to human faces, he could tell at a glance that the person was Qin Zhuo.

When investigating the Qiyin Group, Gu Ci had seen Qin Zhuo's photo in the documents, and the report said that he was the next generation of the Qin family.

When investigating Qi Zhao, Gu Ci also saw Qin Zhuo's photo in the document, and the report said that he was Qi Zhao's boyfriend.

When Qi Zhao's head was in the fog of chaos, a sudden pulling sensation on her wrist pulled her back to the real world.

Qi Zhao turned around and saw that Gu Ci had tightened the arm holding his arm.

She looked up and met Gu Ci's eyes.

Gu Ci's eyes still showed no obvious emotion, but the tight corners of his lips revealed his strangeness.

Before Qi Zhao had time to say anything, he heard Gu Ci ask her: "Want to find another way in?"

Qi Zhao was stunned for a moment when he heard Gu Ci's words. After realizing what he meant, he nodded and just said One word came out: "Okay."

But Qi Zhao, who wanted to avoid meeting Qin Zhuo, couldn't avoid people attending the banquet saying hello to Gu Ci.

Most of the guests invited to attend such an occasion had business purposes. Naturally, Linchuan's fresh and large piece of fat was noticed as soon as it appeared.

A few sharp-eyed people were the first to surround Gu Ci.

They had smiles on their faces when they first saw Gu Ci. When they walked to him and found a strange woman standing next to him, they brought the topic to Qi Zhao and exchanged greetings: "Mr. Gu, it's been a long time no see. "I don't know what to call this lady?"

"Qi Zhao, Zhao from Zhaoyang."

Qi Zhao turned around when he heard the voice.

Gu Ci's expression was as calm as usual, and there was a faint smile on his lips when communicating with others.

He introduced Qi Zhao naturally, and the atmosphere between the two didn't look like a normal relationship.

The people around who were anxious to get in touch with Linchuan began to get close to each other when they saw this scene.

Wanting to quickly get closer to Gu Ci, they started to praise based on the atmosphere between the two and their own observations: "Mr. Gu and Miss Qi are so talented and beautiful, they seem to be a perfect match!"

Qi Zhao realized that they had misunderstood something and did not respond. He immediately opened his mouth to explain, but first observed Gu Ci.

Gu Ci didn't seem to have any special reaction, but the curve of the corners of his mouth seemed to be slightly raised.

Qi Zhao saw that he was about to say something, but before his voice came out, another voice preempted him.

"...Qi Zhao?"

Qi Zhao heard a familiar male voice and looked over.

Others present who have in-depth cooperation with Qiyin are also familiar with this voice.

Qin Zhuo didn't know when he stood only two steps away from Qi Zhao. When he saw Qi Zhao appearing here, he was stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he found a man standing next to her and frowned.

Qin Zhuo's eyes fell on the intertwined arms of the two, and his eyes were as hot as if they were drilling into him.

Everyone invited to the banquet by Qin's mother was no stranger to Qin Zhuo.

There are several company CEOs whose parents have business dealings with Qiyin who have known Qin Zhuo five or six years ago. Although their relationship cannot be said to be acquaintances, they can be considered acquaintances.

The man was obviously more natural when facing Qin Zhuo than when facing Gu Ci. After seeing Qin Zhuo accurately calling out Qi Zhao's name, he was a little curious and asked him with a smile: "Mr. Xiao Qin, how could you do this?" Do you know Mr. Gu's girlfriend?"

Qin Zhuo's expression was even more confused after hearing his words, his eyes were shaking and his movements were stagnant.

Qin Zhuo's gaze shifted to Gu Ci's face, his expression was not really kind: "...girlfriend?"

Qin Zhuo's voice was low and dumb.

Gu Ci and Qin Zhuo looked into each other's eyes like jackals and tigers, with calm expressions.

It's like a wall of water that cannot be grasped or broken.

Qin Zhuo's facial features were not soft to begin with, but now that he had shaved off his head and tanned his skin, the sharpness in his eyebrows was instantly apparent, as if he had adjusted the contrast.

He looked at the two people holding hands.

The man was wearing a decent suit. I don’t know if it was a specially prepared match or a tacit understanding between the two. The pocket square on his body seemed to be of the same color and material as the light-colored dress on the woman.

One of them looks cold and the other looks warm. They should be completely different, but they are surprisingly harmonious standing together.

It was so harmonious that Qin Zhuo suddenly felt anxious like thunder striking the ground.

The furrow in his brow became deeper and deeper, and Qin Zhuo's eyes moved away from Gu Ci's face and looked at the person next to him.

Qin Zhuo's eyes fell on Qi Zhao, but with just one breath, the aura around him instantly weakened.

The look in his eyes also changed from hatred to confusion.

Qi Zhao saw that he looked at her as if he had a lot to ask, and the people around him became secretly curious when they saw his reaction.

Not knowing what Qin Zhuo would ask, Qi Zhao focused all his attention on him.

Unaware of Gu Ci standing next to her, he glanced around and then looked down at her.

Everyone's eyes were unconsciously on Qi Zhao.

The moment Qin Zhuo was about to ask something, the moment everyone raised their ears. Gu Ci suddenly looked at the person who first asked this question and explained aloud: "Mr. Zhang, you misunderstood. Qi Zhao is not my girlfriend."

As soon as Gu Ci said this, not only Mr. Zhang, but also everyone present Everyone looked at him.

Including Qi Zhao and Qin Zhuo.

Mr. Zhang was very surprised when he heard this and looked at Gu Ci with wide eyes: "Isn't she Mr. Gu's girlfriend?"

Gu Ci still had a faint smile on his face and continued to explain: "I didn't have time to speak just now, but Qi Zhao is indeed not my girlfriend.”

"She is just my employee now."

Gu Ci's explanation interrupted what Qin Zhuo was about to ask. A second ago, they were still guessing about the relationship between Qin Zhuo and Qi Zhao. Because of Gu Ci's two short sentences The words instantly changed the object of curiosity.

Everyone's attention also completely shifted from Qi Zhao to Gu Ci.

Qi Zhao turned to look at Gu Ci's side face, his brain was offline for two seconds, and his eyes showed a trace of confusion.

...Is he using himself as a topic to save her?
