The reborn noble wife

Chapter 17 The Midnight Incident

Chapter 17 The Midnight Incident (2)
At seven o'clock in the evening, Gu Ruojin returned to Gu's house exhausted physically and mentally, looked coldly at the diners, and seeing their surprised expressions when she came back, the unhappiness in her heart dissipated a lot.

His eyes fell on the exquisite western food, and a feeling of nausea surged in his stomach. He looked away and went upstairs with a long skirt, and went upstairs quickly.She hadn't eaten for more than a day, and she was already too hungry, and her stomach felt sick when she saw greasy meals.I had to take a hot bath first, and then ask the servant to cook some light food.

After soaking in the bubble bath for half an hour, I changed into home clothes and stretched.After a day of tossing, now my whole body is limp and weak, and my stomach is empty. I need to replace the battery of my mobile phone.After turning on the phone, looking at the text messages one after another, my head felt a little swollen, and I opened a text message received in the morning...

"The family members have been appeased, don't worry!"... Quan Mujin.

Seeing the short sentence, he was relieved for no reason, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.Although he is usually not serious, he is still unambiguous in doing things!
"Tuktuk..." The phone vibrated in the palm of my hand, looking at the caller ID on it, it was connected immediately.

"Hello." The voice was slightly hoarse.

"What happened, the phone is turned off?" Seeing that the phone was finally connected, my restless heart calmed down.

Hearing the gentle but caring voice from the microphone, he sat down beside the bed. "It's nothing, the phone is out of battery. How is it over there?"

The corners of Quan Mujin's mouth curled up, and a smile flashed in his eyes, this woman is not honest at all, she was caught in a mess, and a man released her on bail, but she took it easy, don't think that he is just fooling around in City C!
"It's okay..." After a long silence, he replied in a deep voice.

Hearing the obvious change in his voice, Gu Ruojin lifted her heart in an instant, sat up straight and asked, "What happened?"

Quan Mujin leaned on the bar, the smile on his face widened, and he calmly stated: "I received a subpoena from the court this afternoon. I originally appeased the family members, but temporarily regretted it."

Gu Ruojin subconsciously clenched the phone tightly, and frowned slightly. It seemed that things were not as simple as imagined, or someone was doing things secretly, and didn't want her to go too smoothly.

"I see!" Gu Ruojin hung up the phone after finishing speaking, hurriedly got up and rummaged through clothes to change, then hurried downstairs with her bag and mobile phone.

On the other end, Quan Mujin didn't hear the expected answer, looked at the beeping mobile phone, threw it aside, picked up a glass of brandy and drank it down.

Gu Ruojin ignored Gu Xuexi who was blocking her with eyes full of hatred, walked around, trotted to the garage, and drove a car towards the airport at high speed.

After five hours, he finally arrived in City C. Looking at the watch in his hand, it was already one o'clock in the morning.He stopped a taxi casually and rushed to Quan Mujin's residence without stopping, as if forgetting that this is not a good time to talk about things.

The wind and dust went straight to the 22nd floor of his apartment, and the sound of hurried footsteps was especially strange in this quiet midnight.Ringing the doorbell of his apartment, then panting against the cold wall.

After recovering, looking at the shadow reflected on the door, I felt a little scared.After raising his hand again to ring the doorbell, he squatted on the ground uneasily, and waited for Quan Mujin to open the door after a while.

Quan Mujin mistakenly thought that Gu Ruojin would not come back, so he drank wine alone, and soon became a little drunk, and lay down on the bar counter and fell asleep.While he was in a deep sleep, the doorbell rang.

I didn't want to pay attention to it, but the doorbell kept ringing like he was stubborn.I got up impatiently, and walked to the door a few steps, intending to reprimand the visitor.Unexpectedly, when I opened the door, I saw a woman curled up by the door, and my heart felt as if it was pricked by a fine needle.

"Come here so late, why don't you call me?" What if you run into a gangster...

Gu Ruojin raised her misty eyes to look at the man with crumpled clothes and a strong smell of alcohol.Standing up slowly, she pressed her hands against the wall to support her numb feet.

"It's okay, it's so late, what a trouble!" At this moment, Gu Ruojin couldn't hold on any longer, her eyes were sore.Staggering under his feet, he rushed to the ground...

Quan Mujin quickly caught her by the waist, but because he was wearing a pair of slippers, coupled with Gu Ruojin's struggle, his feet slipped and they both fell to the ground...

"Touch!" Quan Mujin turned Gu Ruojin's body over and fell to the ground at the very moment, while Gu Ruojin was pressing on top of him... lip to lip!

Gu Ruojin felt the coldness of her lips, opened her eyes and opened her enlarged face, her head was in a daze, and she immediately came back to her senses and fell to the side.

Quan Mujin looked at the embarrassed Gu Ruojin, touched the fragrant lips, and felt happy.Immediately sat up, leaned over to look at the woman with her head down, suddenly saw the cold sweat on her forehead, realized that something was wrong with her, immediately threw away the previous ambiguity, helped her into the room, and poured her a cup of hot water.

"Where's the summons?" Gu Ruojin calmed down a little, thinking of the previous episode, her face turned red with disappointment, and she looked at the man sitting across from her uncomfortably.

Hearing this, Quan Mujin coughed a few times, rubbed his nose and said, "Don't worry, we won't talk about anything until dawn, you go to the bedroom to sleep first!"

Gu Ruojin thought for a while, and couldn't resist the sleepy and awkward atmosphere, so she nodded in agreement!
Although she really wanted to rest, Gu Ruojin couldn't sleep all night because of her worries, so she got up early, seeing that it was still early, she went out to buy some breakfast.

As soon as he came back, he saw Quan Mujin who was in a hurry to go out, walked in sideways, changed his shoes and said, "Going out so early, let's eat before ordering before leaving!"

Looking at her slender figure, recalling that he looked at the empty house when he got up together, did not see her figure, and mistakenly thought that she had gone to the company, so he hurried out.

Looking elsewhere, he said vaguely: "Yes, I just answered a call from the company, but it's not in a hurry." After finishing speaking, he followed her to the restaurant.

"Oh, then you eat first. Give me the summons later, and I'll go back to the company." Gu Ruojin took a sip of soy milk, chewing and eating the deep-fried dough sticks slowly.

Quan Mujin paused, and squinted at the calm-looking Gu Ruojin. Can he say that he did it blindly?
Just as he was about to explain, the phone in his pocket rang.Quan Mujin put down his chopsticks and connected to the phone.

"Boss, the family members of the deceased came to the door of the company to make trouble early in the morning. In just a few hours, the stock plummeted!" The assistant looked at the noisy people at the door, and reported to Quan Mujin anxiously.

He also clearly heard the noise from the other side through the microphone, and shouted coldly: "Damn it, how many hours? You're only here to report now, quickly notify the security guards to intercept, I'll be right there!"

"Something happened to the company?" Gu Ruojin got a general understanding of the situation through their chat.
