"Itâs me." At this moment, Xia Chuyi also saw the visitorâGuo Jiumin.
It must be said, Guo Jiumin is much more cunning than He Qing.
So Guo Jiuminâs "surprise" looked quite genuine, as if they really met by chance.
"Young Madam Huo, what a coincidence!" Guo Jiumin said, "I never thought that my casual assistance would end up helping you!"
Coincidence?
Ha, it really is quite the coincidence.
However... for Xia Chuyi, at this juncture in time, no coincidence is truly coincidental.
Xia Chuyi is suspicious of anyone who suddenly appears before her.
However, since Guo Jiumin is part of the Guo family and somewhat prestigious, Xia Chuyi didnât show any sign of suspicion.
"Thank you, Mr. Guo." Xia Chuyi said calmly and politely.
"Young Madam Huo, no need to be so formal." Upon hearing this, Guo Jiumin with his smiling face said, "I just happened to be eating here, saw someone causing trouble, and helped out..."
"I didnât expect to save Young Madam Huo," Guo Jiumin said, "It seems like Mr. Guo and Young Madam Huo are truly destined to meet."
For some reason, Guo Jiuminâs words gave Xia Chuyi a rather uncomfortable feeling.
Besides the words, even Guo Jiuminâs gaze made Xia Chuyi uncomfortable.
How to put it?
The way Guo Jiumin looked at Xia Chuyi felt overly enthusiastic.
Such enthusiasm could be understood as a senior looking at a junior... after all, given Guo Jiuminâs age, although heâs not as old as Ou Zhenting and Huo Zhongcheng, he is much older than Xia Chuyi.
However, Xia Chuyi always felt Guo Jiuminâs gaze wasnât that simple.
But if Xia Chuyi had to specify, she couldnât quite articulate it.
In any case, this coincidental timing, coincidental event, and Guo Jiuminâs complex gaze all made Xia Chuyi wary.
Thus, Xia Chuyi did not acknowledge Guo Jiuminâs "truly destined" remark, simply smiled indifferently, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Guo, for your help."
"If Mayor Guo hadnât appeared," Xia Chuyi said yesterday, "then dealing with these two thugs might have taken us some time."
As she spoke, Xia Chuyi took a bottle of pepper spray from her pocket and waved it in front of Guo Jiumin.
Although Guo Jiumin didnât know exactly what Xia Chuyi had taken out.
But it was clear from Xia Chuyiâs words, even without Guo Jiumin, Xia Chuyi could handle it herself.
In other words, Xia Chuyi wasnât intent on accepting the favor of the "rescue" Guo Jiumin claimed.
Guo Jiumin was not dumb, and clearly understood Xia Chuyiâs meaning.
However, Guo Jiumin didnât seem to mind, he just said, "Haha, then that makes it even more coincidental!"
"Because if I had arrived a moment later, I wouldnât have been able to assist Young Madam Huo, and Young Madam Huo wouldnât owe me this favor, right?" Guo Jiumin said with a seemingly benevolent smile.
At this moment, even the director who was unfamiliar with Guo Jiumin noticed something was off.
This Mr. Guo... His attitude seems a bit peculiar?
As with Xia Chuyiâs perception, the director also felt Guo Jiuminâs gaze towards Xia Chuyi was abnormal.
"Thank you, Mr. Guo!" Although unable to discern the underlying situation, the director instinctively stood in front of Xia Chuyi and said to Mr. Guo, "I hope to have the chance to host and express my gratitude to you, Mr. Guo."
