After contemplating this, she resumed her meal.
However, she never expected that the person who just came in would walk towards her and, in fact, stop right in front of her.
Eleven hadnât raised her head yet and from her peripheral view, she only noticed that a man in a suit had taken a seat across from her at her table.
Didnât he just say he had an appointment? What was he doing at her table?
Eleven immediately looked up and froze.
"Gu Tianyu?" Eleven widened her eyes.
She had chosen the restaurant. It was hardly a place where high-profile patrons would frequent. People like Gu Tianyu wouldnât normally appear in such a place. How could he be here by chance?
Eleven leaned back a little, looking at him guardedly.
Could it be...
The Third Young Master of the Gu Family had installed a GPS on her?
"Hey, sister," he saw Elevenâs instant reaction and smiled brilliantly, "Itâs been a while since weâve seen each other alone."
"Stop right there," Eleven crossed her arms in front of her chest, "Third Young Master, we are not in a relationship that allows us to meet casually."
"Saying that will not only hurt me, but it would be heartless," he spoke without any anger, "Have you forgotten who saved you on the rooftop? Without me, would you be able to sit here and enjoy your meal? All you would have left to eat are the paper offerings from my younger brother!"
"..."
Why bring up such ill-omened matters when one is eating in peace!
Although it was the truth, it made her feel uncomfortable.
She held the chopsticks in her hand, jabbing them onto the porcelain plate with a "dong" sound, suppressing her feelings.
It was true that Gu Tianyu had saved her. In reality, he hadnât done anything to harm her. She shouldnât be pushing him away. However, who was to blame that she had fallen for Gu Liancheng in the end?
Since she had chosen to stand with Gu Liancheng, she couldnât give Tianyu any false hopes.
She smiled and said, "Third Young Master Gu, Iâm very grateful for you saving me. I will keep this favor in my heart and find a way to repay it in the future."
"That is natural, I didnât plan on forgetting such a huge favor. You owe me," Gu Tianyu snapped his fingers to call the waiter and ordered another table full of food, without considering if she could eat it or not, "This meal will be considered as interest you owe me."
Eleven swallowed a mouthful, maintaining her smile: "Alright, Third Young Master, Iâll treat you to this meal. Consider it as interest."
Gu Tianyu, free and easy, watched her eat, while saying: "Actually, thereâs a way you can return the favor cleanly right away."
As long as you firmly believe that there wonât be any sweet buns falling from the sky, you wonât be tricked most of the time. So, Eleven didnât take his words to heart and casually said, "It definitely canât be a good method."
"Couldnât fool you....." Gu Tianyu laughed, "Well, it depends on who you ask. To me, itâs an excellent method. Itâs the same suggestion as before, help me to be my inside man and bring down Gu Liancheng."
"My answer remains the same: Sorry, I wonât do it."
"You should not refuse me so hastily. Donât you want to consider it? Gu Liancheng canât hold on for much longer, he will soon fall. When that happens, what will you do? And what about your two children? Without Gu Lianchengâs protection, are you sure you can withstand my grandfather?"
Eleven froze.
What was Gu Tianyu implying with those words?
Did he already make silent arrangements to deal with him?
Hmm....
She shook her head.
Without Gu Lianchengâs protection, of course she wouldnât be able to resist the Gu Family, but she was certain, he wouldnât lose to Gu Tianyu that easily.
