Chapter 522: Subverting Her Vision
Although she had been absolving Chen Chen in her heart, she really could not lie to herself at this point.
She picked up her wine glass and finished it in one gulp.
“Ran Ran, what’s wrong? You can’t drink, so drink less!” Yu Xuan quickly advised her.
Bai Ran ignored him and poured another cup.
Finally, she paused and looked up. “Mr. Gu, I have another question for you.”!!
Gu Qian quickly said, “Miss Bai, ask away.”
Bai Ran sighed and said, “When we first met, you said that Chen Chen hit you because of Hu Wan. What’s going on? Can you tell me?”
She could have stopped asking, but Bai Ran still did not give up. She still said the question she had suppressed in her heart.
After all, Chen Chen had fabricated so much to hide this problem.
Gu Qian touched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile, “How should I put this question? I don’t know Mr. Chen well, and I didn’t know him either. It was only later that I bumped into Miss Hu and fell in love with her. At that time, I didn’t know that she had a boyfriend and kept chasing her. In the end, Mr. Chen met her one time. He misunderstood and began to fight. I’m really sorry.”
“After finding out that Miss Hu is Mr. Chen’s girlfriend, I apologized and left immediately,” Gu Qian said politely.
After Bai Ran heard this, she was about to continue asking when Gu Qian’s phone suddenly rang.
Gu Qian quickly picked it up and said, “Hello, Mom. Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
An old woman’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Xiao Qian, why aren’t you back yet? Your father and I are worried. Child, we only sleep after you return. You’re still asking like this.”
Gu Qian quickly said, “Mom, don’t wait for me. I’ll accompany an important friend. It’s okay. Sleep first. I’ll be home soon. Have a good rest with Dad!”
Bai Ran was very close. Although she could not hear everything clearly, she could roughly hear the contents. Now, she felt even more upset. Not only did Gu Qian have parents, but he also seemed to have a good relationship with his family. It was the same as what he had said previously.
How could Chen Chen have no bottom line and lie to her about this as a bargaining chip to make her believe him?
Bai Ran lowered her head and instantly felt that Chen Chen was so unfamiliar…
Gu Qian hung up. Bai Ran sorted out her broken emotions and her expression softened a little. “Mr. Gu, Uncle and Auntie have already called you back. Go back early so that they won’t be worried. Ah Xuan and I won’t disturb you anymore!”
With that, she turned around and pulled Yu Xuan along. “Ah Xuan, let’s go!”
Yu Xuan observed Bai Ran’s reaction the entire time. When she heard Bai Ran’s words, she smiled knowingly.
Gu Qian quickly said, “It won’t affect anything. I’ve already told my parents that they live nearby. I’ll be very close to them when I go back. It’s not easy for you to come out. Have a seat again! Although we’ve only worked together twice, we’re still ordinary friends, right?!”
Bai Ran’s expression was already very ugly. At this moment, she was in no mood to move. She only wanted to be alone for a while. Calm down, calm down.
Seeing that Gu Qian was so sincere in asking her to stay, she said, “Alright then. Have a chat. I’ll go to the bathroom first.”
With that, Bai Ran picked up her bag and left.
Walking to the bathroom, Bai Ran impatiently closed the door to the cubicle and sat on the toilet, feeling a little broken.
She reacted to Gu Qian’s words and felt even more uncomfortable.
From her background, to her profession, to her relationship, to the process of getting to know her, to her relationship with Hu Wan, none of them coincided with Chen Chen.
Bai Ran did not know who she should believe, but at this moment, the answer was obvious.
Chen Chen’s words were not evidence, and Gu Qian had said it himself. Who was real and who was fake? Did he need to consider it further?
At the thought of this, Bai Ran felt like she was suffocating.
Chen Chen actually had no bottom line. He could fabricate such a thing, and he could even fabricate it so meticulously…
A gentleman like Gu Qian had actually been arranged by him to be… a gay. Gu Qian was also her savior.
At the thought of this, Bai Ran felt disgusted.
Forget it. Chen Chen had clearly beaten Gu Qian up because he was jealous, but he insisted that he was worried about Hu Wan’s illness and that Gu Qian was not serious…
