After severing ties, the cold-blooded family regretted it

Chapter 123 Headlines!

After saying that, he turned and left, not wanting to hear anything more from her.

Charlotte looked at the man's back and sighed softly, but she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Coming to her senses, she picked up the phone on the bedside cabinet and dialed the familiar number.

After just one ring, the call was connected.

A woman's clear voice came from the other end of the receiver: "What's wrong, Linlin? Is there something wrong?"

Xia Luolin pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Lu Meng, it's Gu Chi. He is very emotional now. I think your attempt to persuade him in this way will not work."

"What do you mean? Now that he is in the middle of public opinion, how can he still refuse my help?" Lu Meng's voice came through the receiver.

"Don't you know your brother's temper? He was very gentlemanly not to hit me." Charlotte smiled slightly.

"Then wait a minute, I'm on my way to the airport." The call was quickly disconnected.

After a brief chat, the phone was hung up, and Charlotte stood blankly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the gray sky outside.

in the afternoon.

Gu Chi returned to the hotel and was about to take a rest because the hangover gave him a splitting headache.

Xu Qingwan ran in quickly, her face full of panic: "Gu Chi, something terrible has happened."

"What's the rush? I have a headache right now." Gu Chi raised his eyes and looked at him, with a hint of displeasure between his brows.

Xiao Li's breathing became more rapid. He pointed to the LCD screen on the wall and said, "See for yourself!"

Following his gaze, Gu Chi frowned slightly.

At this time, an interview video was playing on the screen, and the protagonist of the video was Lu Tianci. Next to him stood a doctor in a white coat. Judging from their conversation, it seemed that they were diagnosing and treating a patient.

On the other side, media reporters were asking questions, and Lu Tianci always maintained a polite and distant smile on his face.

"I have heavy metal poisoning now, but it's not that serious."

"I believe Gu Chi definitely didn't do it on purpose. I still trust his character."

The interview ends and the picture freezes.

Seeing this, Xu Qingwan immediately leaned over to take a look, and then couldn't help but complain out loud.

"That's too much. Isn't he just adding fuel to the fire? Besides, everyone knows that he has heavy metal poisoning."

"Alright." Gu Chi shouted coldly, his eyes became unusually stern.

Xu Qingwan had never seen Gu Chi like this before.

Xu Qingwan was so frightened that she quickly stepped aside and dared not say a word again.

Gu Chi withdrew his gaze, lowered his brows and fell into deep thought.

Xu Qingwan waited for a long time, and when she saw that the CEO hadn't moved, she mustered up the courage to ask again, "Gu Chi, what should we do next? Should we find some online trolls to help hype things up?"

Hearing this, Gu Chi suddenly raised his head and looked at her with a cold expression.

"What am I frying? Let the people of the whole country follow suit and scold me?"

Xu Qingwan choked.

Gu Chi shifted his gaze back to the LCD screen, his eyes dim, "This Lu Tianci obviously wants to push me into a dead end. Now it's really raining on top of rain."

After he said that, he walked aside, sat down, closed his eyes and dozed off on the sofa.

Xu Qingwan frowned and was extremely angry.

In the eyes of others, Gu Chi became famous at a young age, but only those who are in the know know the truth.

How much he has paid to create this company.

"You go first. I didn't get enough rest last night. I want to have a good sleep."

Xu Qingwan had no choice but to close the door and walk out.

……

The next morning, when Gu Chi woke up, washed up and went downstairs, he ran into someone running towards him and he was stunned.

Until she stopped and stood a few steps away from him, his brows frowned again.

It turned out to be Charlotte.

She looked at him with joy in her beautiful eyes.

"Good morning, Mr. Gu."

"Yeah." Gu Chi nodded, then walked towards the restaurant.

Seeing this, Charlotte followed.

"Why are you here?" he asked as he walked.

"Mr. Gu, you didn't answer my call last night, so I came to find you." Xia Luolin explained, and then showed a pitiful look: "Mr. Gu, you won't be angry with me, right?"

Seeing her aggrieved look, Gu Chi glanced at her indifferently without saying anything.

He walked straight into the restaurant.

Charlotte followed him in quickly and kept talking behind him.

"Mr. Gu, you don't have to annoy me just because I didn't sleep last night."

"In fact, I didn't sleep at all last night because I was afraid of missing your message."

“……”Gu Chi continued eating and ignored her.

Xia Luolin gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Gu, if I have upset you in some way, you can just tell me. Why keep silent about it?"

"..."Gu Chi remained silent, as if he didn't hear her.

Charlotte was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

"Mr. Gu." Xia Luolin couldn't help but say, "You are so hurtful!"

Gu Chi finally stopped and looked at her, and said calmly: "If you feel you can't stand it, you can leave now."

"You seem to hate me very much now..." Charlotte looked at him with a smile.

"Why would I hate you? Just go away." Gu Chi waved his hand impatiently, signaling her to leave quickly.

Hearing him say this, the smile on Charlotte's face widened.

"At most, I feel nothing for you." Gu Chi's next words still made Xia Luolin feel a little embarrassed.

This guy is really a straight guy and he really doesn't know how to coax girls.

Gu Chi was looking through documents in the room when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

After Gu Chi responded, the door opened and Xu Qingwan walked in holding a stack of documents.

"Gu Chi, this is the information for tomorrow's meeting. Do you want to take a look?"

"Bring it here." After saying that, Gu Chi lowered his head and browsed the documents on the table.

After Xu Qingwan handed over the information, she hesitated for a moment and decided to speak: "Mr. Gu, do you really plan to continue cooperating with Ouyang Tong and others?"

Hearing this, Gu Chi's movements froze for a moment, then he returned to normal. He said indifferently, "Any questions?"

Xu Qingwan frowned: "You should know that the negative news about you and Lu Tianci is overwhelming on the Internet. This meeting is very important. If we fail again, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"I know my limits." Gu Chi said calmly.

"But Gu Chi..."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Xu Qingwan sighed and could only nod and agree helplessly.

"Okay then, I'll go out first."
