The Expensive Ex Wife of a Wealthy Family

Chapter 149 Want to Hide or Reveal Intentionally?

Shen Chu's eyes widened, and then he subconsciously tried to serve tea to cover up his feeling of being read through, but because he was too flustered, he accidentally knocked over the tea.

With a sound of "Ah", Shen Chu let out a soft cry, and then hurriedly took a napkin to wipe it...

Gu Beichen looked at Shen Chu's movements with deep eyes, and lightly closed one side of his thin lips. His stern face was filled with doubts, "Little Chu'er?" He asked again with a slight sigh.

"Five years ago... of course you had the reason why I left!" Shen Chu laughed and said, a little sorry for having just knocked over the tea cup, "Want to prove whether you will give up on me?"

Gu Beichen's eagle eyes gradually became bottomless. He narrowed his eyes slightly and then regained his composure, "Eat."

Shen Chu pursed his lower lip and nodded with a complicated expression.

The two of them were somewhat silent, and their conversations were inconsistent...

Gu Beichen was always a man of few words. Shen Chu seemed to be running away from something at the moment and didn't talk much... Her behavior made Gu Beichen even more confused.

"I'll take you back." After lunch, Gu Beichen said.

Shen Chu shook his head, "My car is parked under the Emperor's building. Just let me go to the Emperor with you."

Gu Beichen didn't say anything else and took Shen Chu back to the emperor...

Since it was noon, the traffic on the roads in Los Angeles was relatively light. While waiting for the traffic light, a promotional advertisement for the Emperor Club happened to be playing on the radio.

Gu Beichen's eyes deepened, thinking of Jian Mo's helpless way of trying "everything possible" to please him in order to use the back door to participate in the competition, and an unknowingly comfortable smile appeared on one side of his thin lips.

Seeing the smile on Gu Beichen's lips, Shen Chu's heart sank subconsciously, and then he concealed his thoughts with a smile and said, "I accidentally heard the other day that... Jian Mo's design was also selected?"

Gu Beichen turned his head and glanced at Shen Chu, then responded lightly, "Yeah!"

Shen Chu didn't seem to mind, "It suddenly occurred to me that when we were at the University of London..." She smiled self-deprecatingly, "I haven't touched design for several years."

Gu Beichen glanced at Shen Chu again, and then started the car when the light turned green.

"Next time you have a chance, do you mind if I submit my work?" Shen Chu half joked.

"The emperor speaks with his strength," Gu Beichen said calmly, "You are from UCL, but you haven't touched architectural design in a few years. If you are not afraid of the gap caused by losing the selection, you can naturally try it."

Shen Chu's lips twitched, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about Jian Mo?" She pursed her lower lip, "Is it also based on strength?"

Gu Beichen frowned slightly, "I said, the emperor speaks with strength!"

Shen Chu didn't say anything else, but a strange emotion slipped through her heart... She lowered her eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Yes, strength... Five years ago, I was also a strong person."

Gu Beichen's eyes darkened instantly, he turned his head to look at Shen Chu, and looked forward with his eyes narrowed as he saw the loneliness on her face...

No one spoke, and the small space in the carriage gradually became solemn.

Gu Beichen didn't know the origin of Shen Chu's silence, but Gu Beichen knew it very well. He felt sorry for Shen Chu's departure five years ago... and he would be heartbroken if he didn't find the result.

It wasn't until the car stopped at the Emperor that Shen Chu said with a smile, "I'll leave first..." As she spoke, her eyes even more self-deprecating as she turned around and started to open the door.

Gu Beichen watched Shen Chu's movements. It wasn't until the door was opened that he grabbed her...

Shen Chu turned around and looked at Gu Beichen doubtfully.

"Xiao Chu'er, some things can't be taken back, but some things won't be thrown away easily..." Gu Beichen said with deep eyes, "It's just..."

"It's not just!" Shen Chu pursed his lips and interrupted Gu Beichen, "Beichen, I don't want to compete with Jian Mo. It's just that, maybe as you said, too much has changed in five years... No matter you still Love me or not, but Jian Mo is your wife now."

As he spoke, Shen Chu's eyes turned red, "But, do you know, five years ago I..."

Shen Chu suddenly stopped talking, and Gu Beichen looked at her closely, waiting for her to continue.

Unfortunately, Shen Chu just swallowed the rest of the words with self-deprecation, and then said: "I had my reasons five years ago, but can the lost five years really not be recovered?"

After asking, Shen Chu took a deep breath, swallowed back the moisture in his eyes, then pulled back his arm and got out of the car without hesitation.

Gu Beichen looked at Shen Chu's back as he walked away proudly, with a gloomy look on his stern face...

Shen Chu accidentally let something slip during the meal, and then stopped talking until now, which made Gu Beichen's doubts deepen.

"Hello, CEO!" When the front desk saw Gu Beichen walking in, he hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Gu Beichen just nodded casually and strode to the exclusive elevator without stopping.

The receptionist looked at Gu Beichen's back in confusion, and then said to another receptionist on the side: "Shanshan, is that woman the one you said before...the one the president held her hand with?"

Zhao Shanshan looked outside and saw that Shen Chu was no longer there, "No..."

"Hey, I think the president is very special about this!"

Zhao Shanshan looked at her in confusion and heard her say: "When has the president ever driven a woman in his car?"

"Yes..." Zhao Shanshan responded doubtfully and couldn't help but frown.

But, the president originally told her not to come to work that day, but later she increased her salary... I heard from Special Assistant Xiao that it was the "delivery man" who begged for mercy.

The president always keeps his word, and everyone in the group knows that the president will never change his words?

But, he changed it for that woman... Isn't it very special?

Zhao Shanshan sat down in confusion, and when she lowered her eyes, she happened to see the roster of 18 companies participating in the design of the club. She couldn't help but fall on the name of the designer on the 18th floor - Jian Mo.

Because she could apply to study at UCL, Jian Mo's mood was as bright as the sun outside all afternoon.

After get off work, she returned to Runze Garden and drove to Yashu Hospital.

Jian Mo first went to Dr. Wang to ask about Su Mo's situation. It was basically the same as what she knew last time. If she couldn't find a suitable heart source, it would cause some unoptimistic chain reactions.

"Mom," Jian Mo said while wiping Su Mo's body, "Do you know? I can apply to UCL... Dad said before that I can definitely go there to study architectural design, and my wish will come true soon."

Jian Mo smiled, but there was hidden sadness in her eyes, "So, you must get better... Then you can go with me. Didn't you say that you wanted to see what the school I longed for was like?"

Speaking of this, Jian Mo's nose was sour uncontrollably...

For two years, she faced her mother's calm appearance every day. She didn't know if she could still believe in it... What if there was no suitable heart source?

The phone rang suddenly, interrupting Jian Mo's sadness. She took out her phone and looked at the caller. It was an unfamiliar number.

With doubt, Jian Mo picked up, "Hello, who is this?"

"Jian Heng is here with me now," a man's dark voice came from the phone, "If you don't want him to die, bring 500,000 to Devil'skiss to find me!"
