The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 165

Nanlu Clubhouse, dining table by the window.

Han Yijia sat in her original spot and waited from noon until 3 p.m., but Gu Heng and the others never appeared.

Her boyfriend, Zhang Peng, who was originally sitting across from her, could no longer contain his restless heart and made an excuse to leave first. Based on her understanding of Zhang Peng, he had probably already smoked two cigarettes by now.

"Hello."

Han Yijia was getting a little impatient. When she saw a waiter pass by, she couldn't help but ask, "Does your restaurant have a back door?"

"Our restaurant only has a back door to the kitchen, and this is the only front door in front of you. May I ask what brings you here, ma'am?"

The staff at upscale restaurants have excellent service awareness, she replied politely in response to Han Yijia's inquiry.

"Whoa whoa……"

"It's nothing, I was just asking."

Han Yijia felt a little relieved. Given the status of Gu Heng and the others, they would not possibly go through the back door of the kitchen, which was full of grease and smoke, unless there were special circumstances. They must still be discussing things in the private room.

Han Yijia picked up the lemonade and took another sip.

Because she was afraid of missing out on Gu Heng, she didn't even dare to drink too much water.

"Ta Tata..."

Just as Han Yijia was absentmindedly about to take out her phone to edit the photo again, a series of slightly hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind her.

Upon hearing the sound, Han Yijia instinctively turned around to look.

Gu Heng, whom she had been waiting for, emerged from the private room surrounded by people and slowly walked towards the main entrance of the restaurant.

Gu Heng and Han Yijia's eyes met in mid-air. Gu Heng was slightly surprised to see that Han Yijia hadn't left yet, but he still didn't stop and continued walking towards the restaurant's main entrance.

Han Yijia watched helplessly as Gu Heng brushed past her again. As she gazed at Gu Heng's receding figure, she bit her lip, her heart filled with immense resentment.

Compared to Jiang Ruan, is she really that bad?
The other party wasn't even willing to stop for her?
Han Yijia stood up from her chair and quickly followed Gu Heng and the others in her high heels.

……

Downstairs at the Bund Center Building.

Gu Heng opened the door of the Lamborghini Centennial and waved to Xu Ke and Qin Ying: "President Qin, President Xu, we'll talk about the follow-up matters by phone. That's all for today, you two go back and get busy."

"Mr. Gu, please go first."

"We'll wait until you leave before we go up."

Qin Ying smiled and insisted on seeing Gu Heng off.

Seeing this, Gu Heng didn't say anything more and got into the Lamborghini Centennial.

"boom……"

As Gu Heng pressed the start button, the engine roared immediately, like the low growl of a beast.

Upon seeing this, Qin Ying, Xu Ke, and the others immediately moved aside from the front of the car.

However, Qin Ying and Xu Ke's actions exposed Han Yijia, who had been standing not far behind them.

Qin Ying and Xu Ke looked at Han Yijia in front of them. They both remembered this young and beautiful girl. They stood silently in place, neither of them making any rash moves.

Han Yijia looked at Gu Heng, who was only a few meters away. She took a deep breath and then strode towards Gu Heng's Lamborghini Centennial.

"Dong dong dong..."

She bent down slightly and gently knocked on the car window.

Gu Heng had already spotted Han Yijia, but he hadn't expected her to be so brave. Not only did she follow him directly from the restaurant, but she also dared to walk up to the car and knock on the window in front of everyone.

Seeing this, Gu Heng didn't mind giving the other party a chance.

Gu Heng slowly lowered the passenger window and said succinctly, "Get in."

Han Yijia, who was just about to say something, was overjoyed when she heard Gu Heng's words. She opened the car door somewhat clumsily and got into Gu Heng's car.

"Fasten your seatbelts."

Gu Heng gave instructions to Han Yijia.

"Uh-huh."

Han Yijia immediately turned around and fastened her seatbelt in front of her.

The yellow seatbelt lay across the center of Han Yijia's budding fullness, making it look strangely alluring.

"gone."

Gu Heng lowered the driver's side window, informed Qin Ying and Xu Ke, and then gently pressed the accelerator towards the main road.

The windows were closed again, and the carriage quickly returned to quiet.

"I need to go to the IFC Mall later, so I can only drop you off there."

Upon meeting again, Gu Heng showed no discomfort whatsoever and casually spoke to Han Yijia.

"What a coincidence!"

"That just so happens I'm going to the IFC Mall too!"

Han Yijia's voice was slightly coquettish. She sat sideways in the passenger seat, her beautiful legs, encased in Balenciaga stockings, completely facing Gu Heng.

"Was that your boyfriend just now?"

Gu Heng stared at the road ahead and casually asked.

Upon hearing this, Han Yijia's expression stiffened slightly: "He is indeed my boyfriend, but he has been seeing other women behind my back. I have no feelings for him anymore, and I don't even let him touch me much now."

Gu Heng listened to Han Yijia's explanation and felt that it sounded vaguely familiar.

"Chairman Gu, that night..."

"I've been waiting for you for so long."

Seeing that Gu Heng remained silent, Han Yijia bit her lip and spoke again, her sweet voice carrying a hint of grievance and disappointment.

She paused briefly, then her voice softened considerably: "Didn't you promise to let me try?"

"I did agree to your request."

"But now I think I'll just forget about it."

While waiting at a red light, Gu Heng turned to look at Han Yijia and replied with a faint smile, "Chairman Gu, I already said that."

"I don't let him touch me much anymore."

Han Yijia was getting a little anxious. She reached out and grabbed Gu Heng's forearms with both hands: "You have to believe me."

"We can compromise."

"There's more than one way to prove that what I'm saying is true."

Gu Heng's lips curled up slightly.

Upon seeing this, Han Yijia immediately understood what Gu Heng meant.

"Then I'd like to try it now."

Han Yijia stared intently at Gu Heng. Although it was not quite what she had hoped for, she knew that having such an opportunity was already a rare privilege, so she chose to take the initiative and seize it firmly.

"Now?"

Gu Heng looked at the main road with its heavy traffic and said, "That won't do now. As law-abiding citizens, we must ensure safe driving."

Upon hearing this, Han Yijia assumed that Gu Heng was making excuses again, but to her surprise, Gu Heng suddenly changed the subject: "Wait a moment, we'll be at the IFC Mall after just one more red light."

"Good~"

Han Yijia understood Gu Heng's meaning, and her beautiful eyes, which had just dimmed slightly, immediately regained their brightness.

……

Normally, Gu Heng has a top-tier membership at the IFC Mall, so he could simply park his car on the roadside and have it parked by the mall's professional parking attendants.

However, Gu Heng drove directly into the underground parking lot and, instead of going to the VIP members' exclusive parking area, parked in a relatively secluded public parking space.

After slightly lowering the windows on both sides to ensure proper airflow inside the car, Gu Heng turned off the engine.

In the dimly lit carriage, Gu Heng and Han Yijia exchanged glances.

"Good performance."

"I can consider giving you a chance in the future."

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow and spoke softly to Han Yijia.

Han Yijia pursed her lips, then looked around. Although this place was relatively remote compared to other places, people and cars would still occasionally pass by.

Soon, the car became quiet.

Gu Heng leaned back in his chair, his expression becoming increasingly languid.

Occasionally, when people pass by and see the incredibly cool Lamborghini Centennial Bull parked here, they can't help but stop and take a second look, and some might even take out their phones to take a couple of photos.

However, because Gu Heng, the "car owner," was present, and seemed to be pretending to be asleep, people or cars that passed by would at most look at them from a distance and take pictures. They were very mindful of boundaries and did not rush up to disturb them.

Under these circumstances, they naturally wouldn't know that there was actually someone in the passenger seat of this Lamborghini Centennial.

Time passed by, second by second.

"Buzz..."

Suddenly, Han Yijia's handbag vibrated, but she seemed not to hear it.

"Why didn't you answer?"

Seeing this, Gu Heng asked softly.

"No need to answer."

Han Yijia responded in a low voice.

However, after one call went unanswered, a second, a third, and a fourth call came in quick succession. The buzzing sound annoyed Gu Heng a little, so he reached into Han Yijia's handbag and took out the phone.

When he saw the caller ID, he knew who the caller was.

Answer the call and then turn on speakerphone.

"Baby!"

Why didn't you answer my calls?

Are you angry with me?

"I'm at the underground parking lot of the IFC Mall, where are you?"

After the call was answered, a slightly hurried male voice came through, asking Han Yijia a series of questions.

She looked up at Gu Heng with a charming gaze, then whispered into the phone, "I didn't see your call."

"Whoa whoa……"

Hearing that Han Yijia's tone was normal and didn't seem angry, Zhang Peng immediately breathed a sigh of relief and then asked her, "Baby, where are you? I'm coming to find you now."

"Just wait for me in the underground parking lot."

"I'm going downstairs to find you; I need to leave something in your car."

Han Yijia responded.

"Baby, I'm waiting for you."

"I'm not in a hurry."

Zhang Peng thought Han Yijia came because of him, which made him feel quite pleased, and he offered her his concern in a loving tone.

"Uh-huh."

Han Yijia didn't even have the energy to give Zhang Peng a perfunctory answer.

"Baby, let me tell you, when I was looking for a parking space just now, I saw a super cool Lamborghini. The body color was black and yellow, it was so cool it was explosive."

"I just searched for that car online. Do you know how much it costs?"

"A full thirty million!"

"You could buy a large, well-located apartment in China Overseas Land & Investment for that price!"

Zhang Peng enthusiastically shared his observations with Han Yijia, unaware that Gu Heng and Han Yijia's expressions upon hearing his words were filled with strangeness...
