Hidden Beauty in the Dark: The CEO's Secret Lover

Chapter 189 What is the secret he wants to hide? 2
"Phanglu," she looked at him sadly, "you were not like this before." It would not make her angry, sad and disappointed like this.God knows how shocked she was when she saw him say those words at Gu's new product launch conference. Although she didn't fully understand what he was talking about, at that moment, watching the affectionate voice on the TV screen For the man who loved the girl named Jane, she even had a momentary illusion, as if he was just a stranger and not her son at all.

"Mom." A complex light flashed in Gu Shanglu's eyes, "I just didn't think about how to tell you."

Mrs. Gu knew that he was unwilling to speak, so she nodded and said lightly, "Well, when your father comes back from Europe, you can confess to him again." After she finished speaking, she got up, her steps were a little staggering Go upstairs.At this moment, she seemed to be ten years older.

Gu Shanglu looked at her back. The strong woman in the business world, who has always been known as a strong woman, looked so desolate from the back. Unspeakable throbbing and guilt welled up in his heart, but he restrained all his emotions. stand up.

sorry.He silently spit out these three words.

Mrs. Gu, who returned to her bedroom, quickly dialed a number, "Help me check all the movements and friends of the young master during his study in France, and also, the specific time when he and Jian Qingyin met, and whether he has been to anything The resort, has there been a car accident, etc. In short, everything is in detail, I want all the information."

"Yes." The other end hurriedly responded.

"Also," Mrs. Gu frowned, "What happened to Xin Yuxia's case I asked you to investigate last time?"

The other end said, "Ma'am, there is no progress yet. After all, it has been more than [-] years since the incident, and a lot of information is gone, and it is difficult to find it..."

Mrs. Gu said with a strong tone, "I don't want to hear reasons and excuses, I just want to see the facts and results."

"Yes, ma'am," said the other end hurriedly, "we will try our best to give you the answer you want."

After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Gu poured herself a glass of red wine, stood in front of the European-style lattice window, and stared at the night scene outside in a daze.

Over the years, she has always adopted a free-range education method for her son, seldom interfering in his life, completely giving him freedom and autonomy, and also cultivated his independent character, never relying on his parents for everything, and solving everything by himself.This made Mrs. Gu very relieved and relieved. She almost never took care of him during the years he was in France, and never visited him in France.It's not that I don't care, but that I have full trust.She believed her son would not let them down.As expected, he has also grown very well. This time he came back to take over Gu's, and he got started very quickly.It's just that she didn't expect that because she was too indulgent and absolutely let go, the result was that her son's heart was getting farther and farther away from her. To this day, he was even unwilling to give her an explanation.

She had to wonder what he was hiding from her.And, it's a big secret.The words at the new product launch were like a thorn in Mrs. Gu's heart, and she couldn't sleep at night if she didn't pull it out.

Since he didn't want to say it, she, a mother, had to find the answer by herself.

She took a deep breath, and her eyes shone with piercing light.

……

When Mrs. Gu called, Jian Qingyin had just completed the hotel check-in procedures.Now that she has made a decision, she shouldn't hesitate anymore, so she moved out of Fenglin Courtyard early in the morning.After all, that place still doesn't belong to her.

In fact, there is nothing to move. She was knocked out when she came here, and she had nothing on her except her wallet and mobile phone.Naturally, when I left, I had nothing to worry about, and I didn't bring anything with me.She wanted to stay in Qingcheng for another two days, finish all the things that should be done, and say everything that should be said clearly, before going back to N City.Last night, she called home to ask about her father's re-examination. Father Jian was very worried about her on the phone. She wanted to clear up the matter here as soon as possible and go back to where she should go.No matter how much harm N City has brought her, it is her home after all.

Mrs. Gu asked her to drink tea at Huajiantang.When she arrived, she was already there.

I haven't seen her for a while, and Madam Gu has added a few more crow's feet around the corners of her eyes. Although she maintains her appearance with the most high-end cosmetics, she still looks graceful, but she still can't conceal the deepening vicissitudes around her eyes.

"Auntie." She took a deep breath, worked hard to adjust her expression, then walked over gently, and sat down opposite her.

For Mrs. Gu, her feelings are very complicated. Before, she always felt that she was very kind and congenial. Now that she knew that she had lost her son in middle age, but was still kept in the dark, she felt a little more sympathy for her.But she had to restrain herself and not show any strangeness.

"Coming?" Mrs. Gu saw her, and a smile appeared on her originally melancholy face. "any drinks?"

Jian Qing said, "A cup of rose tea would be fine."

Madam Gu nodded and called the waiter to order tea.

"Qingyin," she looked at her with a smile, and said slightly reproachfully, "Why didn't you come to see Auntie when you came to Qingcheng?"

"Auntie, I..." Jian Qingyin didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Gu said, "Don't say anything, I already know about you and Shanglu."

Jian Qingyin was startled, what did Wei An tell her?

Mrs. Gu smiled, "Shang Lu said that you are together, is it true?"

Jian Qingyin hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yes."

Mrs. Gu breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily, "That's great, it seems that we are destined to be a family. Before you resigned from Shanglu's company, I was worried that it would be impossible for you. Now it seems that Shanglu Has your persistence moved you?" She asked tentatively, "Qingyin, tell auntie honestly, how long have you known Shanglu?"

Jian Qingyin's heart skipped a beat, did she doubt Wei'an?
"Not long," she said hastily, "it's just a recent thing. I went to the rehabilitation center to accompany my mother, and I met him there."

Mrs. Gu is so smart, she can tell at a glance that she is lying.She frowned indistinctly, and said lightly, "Then can you tell Auntie that what Shanglu said at the new product launch conference was meant for you?"

"I..." Jian Qingyin opened her mouth, but was unable to speak for a moment.

Mrs. Gu is a shrewd woman, she must have doubted her relationship with Wei'an.Thinking about it, too, Wei An made such a big commotion on TV, as his mother, Mrs. Gu had every reason to be suspicious.But, how is she going to explain this?Wei'an hadn't greeted her beforehand, and she didn't know that Mrs. Gu would be looking for her today, and she didn't know how to answer her question.

If she said yes, then she would definitely ask Wei An what she meant by what she said, and if she said no, it was impossible.She was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her hands under the table were involuntarily twisted together.

"Auntie, I..." She was about to speak when a clear voice came in, "Mom, Qingyin, why are you here?"

Gu Shanglu was dressed casually, with a smile on his lips and walked over with his hands in his pockets, walking in the courtyard calmly.

Seeing him, Jian Qingyin subconsciously stood up as if she had been rescued, "Only... Shanglu, why are you here?"

Gu Shanglu sat her down, gave her a calm look, and then sat down on the chair next to her.
