The ex-wife is rebellious, which makes the CEO feel troubled

Chapter 337 What are you pretending to be?

"He was originally my partner, named Lin Qiyou. But he always... wanted to force women on me. She was the one you saw last time." Gu Huaijing did not forget to explain to himself, "I guess he holds a grudge because I rejected his cooperation. Among these people, he is the most suspicious."

"The surname Lin... Is it the Lin family that started out in the chemical industry?" Ning Xi felt the name sounded familiar.

Gu Huaijing nodded: "That's right."

That's not surprising. Although the Lin family is not the leading enterprise in S City, it is also well-known. No wonder they dare to provoke Gu Huaijing.

"He is quite cunning. He specifically found a blind spot for surveillance."

"From what I know about him, this guy is only clever and greedy." Gu Huaijing pondered for a moment, thinking about countermeasures, "He has tasted the sweetness of doing this, and he may not stop here. We can... lure the snake out of its hole."

Ning Xi thought it made sense: "How do you lure the snake out of its hole?"

Gu Huaijing glanced at her and said, "Then I'll need your cooperation."

He whispered something, and Ning Xi hesitated for a moment after hearing it: "Will this work?"

Gu Huaijing said: "You have to try it to know."

With the company's interests at stake, Ning Xi finally decided to put aside her personal feelings and give it a try.

The next day, Gu Group and Wen Group jointly held a dinner with the theme of Ou Embroidery Exhibition. Both companies are well-known figures in the industry, and people from all walks of life came to participate.

A life of decadence and extravagance, with drinking and toasting.

Gu Huaijing also sent an invitation to the Lin family, and sure enough, the person who came to the banquet was Lin Qiyu.

He was dressed in formal attire, and when he saw Gu Huaijing, he was very polite and said, "Boss Gu, I was reckless last time, please don't take it to heart."

Gu Huaijing nodded calmly: "It's okay."

He turned to look at Ning Xi and said, "This is Miss Ning, right? She is much prettier in person than on TV."

Ning Xi knew his character and was very displeased with him.

"Hello."

After a polite perfunctory response, when the time came, Ning Xi and Gu Huaijing walked onto the stage together.

"Good evening, everyone." Ning Xi's clear voice resounded throughout the hall through the microphone. "This embroidery exhibition aims to promote the culture of Ou embroidery and pass on intangible cultural heritage. I hope everyone can appreciate this beauty. If you like any of them, you can also come to our on-site staff."

She paused, looked at Gu Huaijing beside her, and said with a smile: "I would also like to thank my good partner, Mr. Gu, for participating in this exhibition."

Gu Huaijing took over the conversation: "I wish you all a fun night."

There was applause from the audience, as well as some low murmurs of discussion.

The scandal between the two is at the center of public attention. Although it has been clarified, it still has some impact.

The two of them dared to interact openly on stage, which clearly told everyone that we have no other relationship and are just partners.

Only Lin Qiyou felt sarcastic in his heart.

What to pretend!

After a brief speech, Ning Xi and Gu Huaijing stepped down from the stage, leaving the microphone to the host.

One after another, exquisite embroidery works were brought up, attracting everyone's attention.

But Lin Qiyu had no time to appreciate those works, his eyes were always following Gu Huaijing.

Gu Huaijing and Ning Xi were talking and laughing, but their actions were very appropriate and within a reasonable range. Just looking at it this way, there was nothing wrong.

Lin Qiyou quietly despised the hypocrisy of the two men, drank the wine in the glass and handed it to the waiter who passed by, then walked over calmly.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Ning Xi lifted her skirt and left.

Gu Huaijing took a sip of red wine and casually said a few words to his assistant.

Seeing this, Lin Qiyou's eyes lit up, thinking he had discovered something unusual.

He sneered in his heart while sending a message to the person he had already found: "You can go around from the back now, the person should be there."

The other party quickly replied: "Received."

Lin Qiyou revealed a smug smile and quickly turned off the screen of his phone and put it back, thinking that he had been careful enough and that everything was flawless.

It’s no big deal if the gossip is spread in a reverse way. If it happens a few more times and the people involved are changed, there’s no doubt that Gu Huaijing’s reputation will be damaged.

The banquet was held in a quiet manor, with rockeries, flower beds, bushes and sparse old trees behind the front hall. Ning Xi and Gu Huaijing stood in front of the flower bed, and their behavior seemed very intimate.

Gu Huaijing restrainedly put one hand around Ning Xi's waist and said in a low voice: "The people I found are ready for the ambush and have already met up with your people here."

Ning Xi nodded.

This time, they want to catch the turtle in the jar.

In order to set up this situation, she tried her best to ignore this subtle atmosphere——

The two people were really close.

She could even smell the refreshing and pleasant scent of Gu Huaijing's cologne. The rustling of the wind could not hide Ning Xi's inexplicably accelerated heartbeat.

She simply attributed it to discomfort and nervousness.

If you want to act, you have to do it in full. Gu Huaijing reached out and gently smoothed her long hair, and asked softly, "Why aren't you wearing the necklace I gave you?"

“…I don’t want to bring it.”

Ning Xi responded in a serious tone, and it seemed like they were just chatting.

"Don't like it? Then I'll give you a new one."

Gu Huaijing answered fluently and naturally, without any trace of awkwardness in his acting.

Ning Xi was puzzled by this. When did his acting become so natural?

At the same time, a man in black and a hood approached cautiously, holding his breath.

He saw from afar that Gu Huaijing and Ning Xi seemed to be in love with each other, and he was so happy. He immediately quickened his pace, took out his phone, turned it to silent mode and prepared to take pictures.

Just as one foot stepped behind a big tree, I suddenly heard some rustling sound.

When he turned around, several burly men rushed up and held him down!

"Oh--!"

The man yelled and was subdued in a few moves. Ah Hu was the fastest and grabbed him first, bringing him to Gu Huaijing and Ning Xi.

"Ms. Ning, the person has been caught!"

As soon as the matter was settled, Ning Xi immediately pushed Gu Huaijing away.

Seeing the shy look on her face, Gu Huaijing couldn't help but smile. But when he saw the man, it was gone in an instant.

The man never thought that he would be caught red-handed and surrounded by so many people. He was immediately terrified: "You! What do you want to do! I just exposed myself!"

"Just passing by?" Ah Hu scolded, "Why are you sneakily taking photos with your phone?! There is no road behind this, how dare you say you are just passing by!"

Ning Xi crossed her arms and asked, "Who sent you here?"

The man couldn't help feeling a little guilty, but when he thought of Lin Qiyu's fierce threats and the power behind his family, he broke out in a cold sweat.

He rolled his eyes and said, "I...I was also coerced. I don't know who contacted me, it was just an overseas number."

Ning Xi's face turned cold, it seemed that this man was still not honest.

She raised her chin, and Ah Hu snatched her phone away. Several people held his hand and twisted his fingers, then used fingerprints to unlock the screen.

Who you are dealing with and the account flow are all clearly visible.

The man's face turned pale.

"If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. It's your own fault for not seizing this opportunity."

With sufficient evidence, Ning Xi gave a wink, and Ah Hu immediately understood and took the person away.

Gu Huaijing looked at the familiar WeChat name and avatar, and couldn't help but sound a little angry.

"It's really him."

Although Ning Xi knew of this man's reputation as a playboy, she never expected him to be so reckless.

Gu Huaijing narrowed his eyes slightly: "Now that I've caught you, I won't let you go easily."
