<h4>Chapter 751: Chapter 753: Chu Ge Takes Action</h4>
Gu Tong didn’t expect Chu Ge to give him a rough job, and even Lin Dong, who was pretending to be busy nearby, was actually always paying attention here and almost failed to hold the stone steady in his hand.
What Mr. Chu said, what does it mean by not causing any trouble?
He obviously can’t open stones, yet insisted on showing off, resulting in shattering a meticulously selected stone by a customer and destroying the jade inside. Isn’t that causing trouble?
When the customer wanted to drink tea, he served them a cup of highly concentrated baijiu, almost choking the customer to death. Isn’t that causing trouble?
Lin Dong really didn’t understand, Uncle Liu had proactively asked, so why still cover up for Gu Tong? If it was because Gu Tong was just a teenager, then covering up for him wouldn’t matter much, but he was already an adult and should be responsible for his actions.
Simrly, Gu Tong didn’t understand why Chu Ge would speak on his behalf, but he didn’t say anything, just silently watched.
Uncle Liu was startled and blurted out subconsciously, "Really? He didn’t cause trouble?"
That shouldn’t be the case, it’s not Gu Tong’s character. Although it had only been a morning’s time, based on Gu Tong’s temperament, he must have turned the Gambling Stone Field upside down.
Uncle Liu had a flicker of suspicion in his heart, looking at Gu Tong with a disbelieving expression.
Meeting Uncle Liu’s disbelieving gaze, the corner of Gu Tong’s lips twitched inexplicably, and he gave a sheepish smile, "Uncle, you came so early, have you had lunch yet? How about we go for lunch together?"
Gu Tong suggested.
Uncle Liu didn’t think too much, he indeed hadn’t had lunch, and upon hearing Gu Tong’s invitation, he really felt a bit hungry.
"Sure, does Mr. Chu have time for lunch? How about we all have a meal together?"
Chu Ge shook his head gently, "I have to go outter, so I won’t join you for lunch."
He still needed to go back to the vi to check on Bingtong.
Uncle Liu smiled, "Alright then, Mr. Chu has things to do, let’s meet another day. Gu Tong, what time do you get off work? I’ll wait for you."
Gu Tong raised his eyes and looked at Chu Ge, wanting to say they could leave now, but in front of Uncle Liu, he didn’t dare to act rashly, so he just acknowledged and went back to work.
What he called work was wiping stones with a cloth, which was the only task Chu Ge assigned him after causing so many troubles that didn’t lead to new problems.
Now with Uncle Liu here, he definitely couldn’t afford to cause trouble intentionally in front of Uncle Liu.
Otherwise, he would be punished when he got back.
He wasn’t afraid of heaven or earth, but feared Uncle Liu making him kneel and recite!
After bidding farewell to Uncle Liu, Chu Ge drove back to the vi.
Inside the vi, Bingtong had already woken up, her expression had returned to normal, but the business negotiation hadn’t gone well, and she had even offended the person. She felt a bit disappointed, but didn’t regret it.
With such a partner, she could feel regretful.
Bingtong steadied her emotions, got out of bed, and prepared to wash up and wake herself up.
At this moment, the sound of a car engine starting came from outside, Bingtong walked barefoot to the balcony and just in time saw Chu Ge walking down from the car.
He had returned once before, and Bingtong actually knew it. She had heard his movements, but her mood was very terrible at that time, and she didn’t know how to face Chu Ge, so she pretended to be asleep and didn’t wake up.
Chu Ge seemed to have noticed her as well. He looked up, met her gaze, smiled faintly, and then walked upstairs.
The two met at the staircase. Mu Bingtong smiled at him and casually asked, "Why are you back?"
"I came to see how you are."
Chu Ge said. His eyes measured Mu Bingtong, sweeping over her a few times. He realized that the events of the morning had not affected her mood, and he felt slightly relieved. He was still worried about how tofort her.
Seeing the relieved look on Chu Ge’s face, Mu Bingtong couldn’t help but smile wryly, "What, are you worried about me?"
"Shouldn’t I be worried about you?"
Chu Ge retorted.
Mu Bingtong chuckled, waving her hand dismissively, "Don’t worry, I’m strong. If the contract didn’t work out, then let it be. Jinxiu Group doesn’t necessarily need Shenghao Technology."
Chu Ge quietly watched Mu Bingtong, how she didn’t mention a word about being humiliated. A pang of emotion shed through his heart. He sighed. Since she didn’t bring it up, it meant she didn’t want him to know. And if she didn’t want him to know, he figured it was better not to ask too much.
"Have you freshened up? If you have, I will take you out for lunch," said Chu Ge.
Mu Bingtong nodded, "Yes, I’m actually hungry."
Mu Bingtong went back to her room to change her clothes and then followed Chu Ge out for lunch.
Meanwhile, at the Nangong Mansion, Nangong Man Sha locked herself in her room alone, refusing toe out or even respond to anyone.
Nangong Man Sha was angry, but it was unclear whether she was angry at Chu Ge or at herself.
"Miss Man Sha, how can you not eat? The Old Master will be worried."
Uncle Fu knocked on the door again, pleading from outside, "Miss Man Sha, who offended you? Tell Uncle Fu, I’ll help you vent your anger."
"..." The response was still silence.
Uncle Fu looked at the tightly shut door, turned to the worried-looking Old Master Nangong, and sighed, "Old Master, the youngdy is still not talking to anyone."
Old Master Nangong pursed his lips, "Is it really as Man Sha said?"
Uncle Fu was startled, "What?"
"About the Shenghao Technology matter!" Old Master Nangong stomped his foot, ring at Uncle Fu. Was this old man bing hard of hearing?
Uncle Fu shook his head, "There shouldn’t be anything else, but Miss Man Sha was fine when she left earlier. Yet, after she went out, she returned like this; I don’t know what she encountered outside."
Old Master Nangong pondered for a moment before slowly shaking his head, "What could she have encountered? Most likely, she had a quarrel with Mr. Chu."
Uncle Fu thought for a while, his tone resigned, "That’s also possible. The only one who could make the youngdy so distraught must be Mr. Chu. It’s just a pity that Mr. Chu already has a fiancée now."
Old Master Nangong looked deeply at the closed door, said nothing, and silently turned away.
Inside the room, Nangong Man Sha sat at the table, with a tablet in front of her. On the screen was a video, recorded by a passerby, showing Shenghao being rushed to the hospital after being grievously harmed by a mysterious person.
Despite the short clip, Nangong Man Sha knew, Shenghao was harmed by Chu Ge.
A wave of mncholy shed in Nangong Man Sha’s heart. She hadn’t expected Chu Ge to go to such lengths for Mu Bingtong.
