Chapter 308 Hamlet

Dusk falls.

The sky was already turning yellow and crimson, and the sprinkler truck was moving forward, heading for the boundary where the skylight was about to transition to the lights. The road surface was now wet, and the taillights of the cars ahead were lighting up one after another, soaked by the water particles left in the air and dispersed into a vague liquid red.

The street lamps cast low, rushing light, which immediately turned into a gray lemon yellow after seeping through the car window. The bizarre glare flashed across Jiang Yan's face, and finally froze in a dim and depressing moment.

"What's going on?" Jiang Yan pondered and tapped his fingers, looking at the car that suddenly stopped in front of him and asked.

The driver quickly learned about the road conditions and said respectfully, "There's a car accident ahead, and roadside assistance is underway."

Jiang Yan lowered his brown eyes and said calmly, "Contact the City Hall and clear it immediately. The next section of the road will be cleared in advance. The civil roads funded by the Jiang family will be temporarily closed to the outside world."

"Yes." His men immediately set to work. Jiang Yan turned his head to look at the glass wall outside the shopping mall. Even from a distance, he could see the holographic game promotional advertisement in the carousel. The advertisement showed a holographic shopping mall from another world, floating above the real world in a dreamy way.

Thinking of the idiot who spoke at the board meeting today, Jiang Yan couldn't help but smile mockingly. They wanted to get a piece of the pie when they saw a winning trend. They were really not as good as those old guys who were pessimistic. At least they knew not to release the eagle until they saw the rabbit.

He stretched out his arm to check the time, then opened his phone and looked at Gu Baozhu's reply again. His expression seemed even more mocking. Under the bright cold light, restlessness and calmness formed a strange balance, which he finally swallowed and exhaled deeply.

The vehicle began to move forward slowly.

The bright car lights were like assassins in the dark night, rudely breaking the originally peaceful atmosphere, and one car after another drove into Jiang Mansion.

Gu Baozhu dragged her shoes and walked out of the bedroom slowly, pushing open Lu Xuexin's door. There was a dark spot under her eyes that was hard to ignore. She said in extreme exhaustion and disgust, "No, why does the main business owner have to attend social events? This is unreasonable!"

Lu Xuexin was still fiddling with his hair in front of the mirror, blowing and curling it with his deft hands, and soon he had it into the style of the stars in TV dramas. Gu Baozhu sat down on the sofa beside him consciously, shaking her legs constantly and tapping her thighs impatiently with her fingers.

"Only the main business personnel should participate, don't you understand?" Lu Xuexin finally stopped blow-drying his hair and began to adjust his makeup and clothes.

Gu Baozhu was flipping through the latest hot headlines in an extremely impatient manner. She easily saw her name in entries such as "Holographic Game Finals", "Cooperation between Jiang and Pei", "Hottest Gambling Player", etc. Some of them were negative news and were highly discussed. Gu Baozhu just glanced at them and then swiped away.

"A car accident occurred on section 307 of Fuxi Road. The vehicles were seriously damaged, but there were no casualties. The road is currently being cleared and traffic is being restored."

"Hua Shi has established the largest bud welfare home in the country, and the opening ceremony will be held today."

"Recently, the artificial intelligence field of A University has achieved remarkable results. Professor Cheng of A University believes that this will change the current situation of artificial intelligence in the country..."

"..."

Well, that's true. A car accident doesn't necessarily mean anything will happen. Tsk, Cui Hu has devoted himself to charity work. No wonder he hasn't bothered me recently. Isn't A University my brother's school? It seems that he's making good progress...

Gu Baozhu flipped through the messages one by one, and her finger inadvertently clicked on a newly sent text message.

[Mad Dog]: Gu An didn't even go to training because of a breakup. He finally got into the provincial team, but now he might be kicked out. Such an idiot is simply hopeless. You have a lot of ideas, so think of a solution quickly.

[Idiot]: Sorry, I'm not in the mood to watch you play brotherly love right now.

[Mad Dog]: He can’t pay you back if he doesn’t compete.

[Stupid]: Oh, so, I think the way to cure a broken heart is to quickly get into the next relationship. You can find a girl who looks a lot like Song Yi, and then he will slowly fall in love with this substitute, and then he will forget about Song Yi. This is how it works in novels, and it's very popular now.

Gu Baozhu was typing when Liang Fei walked in, carrying two women's dress suits in his hands.

Gu Baozhu looked at him blankly, and Liang Fei said stiffly: "Change into a dress."

Gu Baozhu frowned and asked, "Why two sets?" Liang Fei also frowned, "I should ask you this, because one set was given by the young master, and the other set is from Pei Ze."

Gu Baozhu frowned even deeper, "It's so annoying, can I not wear anything?"

"Whatever you want," Liang Fei threw down his dress and walked out, leaving Gu Baozhu scratching her head in agony.

The phone screen lit up again, and it was still a text message from Gu Ping: […How do I find a substitute? ]

Gu Baozhu was silent for a moment, and realized that she seemed to never be able to truly understand the mystery of brotherly love. So, could this be considered as going crazy for love?
[Idiot]: Well...how about posting an advertisement?

[Mad Dog]: Okay.

Ah, this, wow, things may be more serious than I thought. Gu Baozhu opened her mouth wide, then closed it herself, pinching her chin and moving her eyes to the two dresses.

What? It didn't say which one was given by whom!
Gu Baozhu casually took out a fairly formal dress from the luggage that Gu Yuan had brought and put it on. Then she and Lu Xuexin got on the shuttle bus and headed for the reserved banquet hall.

It was a small banquet, with the invited guests sitting or standing, chatting and laughing in groups of three or five. There were also couples walking in the corners, kissing and hugging, whispering.

The beautiful waitress carried a tray and shuttled back and forth in the banquet hall, finally stopping in front of Gu Baozhu and asking her to choose a drink.

Gu Baozhu was stunned for a moment, then she smiled, raised a drink and nodded to the visitor.

Ji Xingwen curled his lips and nodded distantly, then continued walking towards the next person.

"..." This is a grudge. Gu Baozhu couldn't help thinking.

"Why aren't you wearing the dress I gave you?" Pei Ze walked towards Gu Baozhu when he saw her. Now he was standing opposite her, looking at her with a particularly teasing look, as if expressing his dissatisfaction.

"I feel uncomfortable wearing other people's clothes and spending other people's money. I prefer to be self-reliant." Gu Baozhu shook the drink in her hand but did not take a sip.

Pei Ze seemed to be nostalgic. He pulled the corners of his lips and showed a charming smile, "You are exactly the same as before. If you say you don't remember the past, how much do you think I will believe it?"

Gu Baozhu raised her eyebrows and looked at him, but saw that he lowered his eyes, his expression was very hurt and he said: "It's really strange, you said you don't remember the past, but you still remember a lot of irrelevant people, have you really forgotten me? Forgot what you did to me?"

Ah, I am so annoyed, you, Hamlet, you took so long to remember a piece of candy! If I had known, I would have come later! If I didn’t have to report to Jiang Yan, I would not have come to such a place!

"It's better not to say lines from such a tragedy, it will cause misunderstandings," Gu Baozhu shook her head, because only I can say such words!

"So, you have to compensate me," Pei Ze walked closer and looked down at Gu Baozhu's tired and pale face. He was suddenly stunned and wanted to reach out and touch her cheek.

Why did he make himself so embarrassed and so exhausted? A porcelain doll must be bright and beautiful. He regretted letting Gu Baozhu go. No, he regretted it all the time.

But at this moment, he had already seen his own porcelain doll, and it seemed as if all the waiting had become as light as a feather, and no longer so unbearable...

Gu Baozhu tried her best to endure it, took a long breath and said, "Will I compensate you for your medical expenses?"

I didn’t hit you enough last time, so I really want to hit you now.

"Anyway, I've paid the price, haven't I?" Pei Ze's dark pupils stared at Gu Baozhu, his expression revealing a bit of joy. He finally laughed out loud, adjusted his position, and blocked some people's sight with a more tricky posture, his shoulder almost touching Gu Baozhu's.

"Is your price me?" Gu Baozhu opened her eyes wide in confusion, and then said helplessly: "I was a piece of trash when I was a child. Since I am making money for you, can you please be magnanimous and forgive me?"
