Chapter 523: Collapse of Trust
It was obvious how good at fabricating things. Furthermore, she was extremely unscrupulous and did not care about others at all.
It was really difficult for him to put in so much effort for Hu Wan!
Bai Ran could not help but wonder if everything else Chen Chen said was true.
Did he really go on the day of the kidnapping? There were surveillance cameras? Hu Wan’s illness?
Bai Ran did not dare to think about it anymore.!!
Suddenly, a voice flashed across her mind.
She had still wanted to trust Chen Chen with her in the past. Why did trust collapse because of someone else’s words at this moment?
Although Gu Qian did not have a motive, he could not completely deny Chen Chen just because he did not have a motive.
In just half an hour, her impression of Chen Chen had already changed so much. It was so unbelievable and suspicious.
Bai Ran forced herself to calm down and think about the consequences.
However, she could not figure it out in the end. Gu Qian’s expression was calm and his words were so smooth. Furthermore, they were all unintentional. He did not seem to be lying at all.
In that case, Chen Chen could only lie.
Bai Ran shook her head desperately, unwilling to accept this fact. She walked out of the bathroom and wet her hands at the tap. She patted her face to wake herself up.
“Thank you, Mr. Gu!” Yu Xuan smiled faintly, her expression unfathomable.
Gu Qian smiled tacitly and said, “There’s no need to thank me. Let’s work together.”
Yu Xuan shook the red wine cup in her hand and smiled. “Do you care so much about him? Has he been in contact with you recently?”
Gu Qian smiled and shook his head. “Isn’t it the same for you?”
“We haven’t contacted each other since we returned from Heavenly Lake, but it doesn’t matter. I don’t want to see him,” Gu Qian said calmly. Then, he smiled knowingly. “However, tonight is also to thank you for helping me on Mount Yunwu.”
On Mount Yunwu, Yu Xuan insisted on carrying Bai Ran down the mountain. She even specially arranged for Chen Chen to help him down the mountain and take care of him, who was sick.
“You’re welcome. Like you said, let’s help each other!” Yu Xuan smiled and raised her cup.
Soon, Bai Ran returned.
“Ran Ran, are you okay? Are you not feeling well?” Yu Xuan asked worriedly when she saw Bai Ran’s ugly expression.
Bai Ran quickly waved her hand. “It’s okay. I just drank too much earlier. I’m already much better.”
“Miss Bai, thank you for giving me face. After our farewell at Mount Yunwu, I didn’t expect us to meet again so soon. With such fate, why don’t we officially become friends?” Gu Qian said with a smile.
Bai Ran smiled and reached out to shake his hand. She was still very friendly to Gu Qian. After all, he was the one who had saved her life.
“What are you talking about, Mr. Gu? In my heart, you’re already my good friend. As long as you don’t mind, you can tell me whatever you need me to do in the future!” Bai Ran said quickly.
As they were talking, Gu Qian’s gaze fell on the door of the bar.
When Bai Ran and Yu Xuan saw this, they looked at the door in confusion.
“Mom, why are you here?” Gu Qian instantly strode out of the booth and ran to the door.
Not far away was an auntie in her fifties. She was wearing elegant clothes, had a delicate face, and an excellent temperament. However, there was an unconcealable vicissitude on her face.
Seeing Gu Qian rush over, the auntie quickly held his hand, afraid that he would lose it.
Gu Qian immediately brought the auntie over and said as he walked, “Mom, didn’t I say that I would accompany my friend for a while before going home? What’s wrong with you? You even came over. It’s so late. If anything happens to you, what should I do?”
The old auntie looked reproachful. “You still dare to say that? You rarely come home so late. Your father and I were so worried. When we knew that you liked to report the good news but not the bad, we thought you had encountered some trouble.”
“What trouble can I encounter? This bar is mine. Besides, if I really encounter any trouble, you won’t be able to help!” Gu Qian blamed as he held his mother in heartache.
The two of them walked closer quickly. Gu Qian stood beside Yu Xuan and Bai Ran and said, “Mom, these two are my friends. One is Miss Yu, and the other is Miss Bai. Miss Yu is my partner. This Miss Bai is a famous model in the country. We’ve worked together before…”
Gu Qian introduced enthusiastically.
“Hello, Auntie!” Yu Xuan and Bai Ran quickly greeted Gu Qian’s mother.
