Gu Wenze's face immediately sank.
If he hadn't known that Qiao Hua had no contact with Zhou Qiwen, Gu Wenze would have even thought that what happened tonight was a conspiracy between the two, and Qiao Hua's purpose was to call Shen Zhen.
Seeing that Gu Wenze didn't speak, Qiao Hua stared firmly into his eyes, with dissatisfaction and complaints on his face, "Do you agree or not?"
Looking at Qiao Hua's stubborn and pale face, and thinking about what happened tonight, Gu Wenze's tough heart finally softened, and he gave a cold hum.
Yay!
Qiao Hua was happy in his heart, but his face remained calm as he watched Gu Wenze pull out a number and dial it.
The other party seemed busy, and it took a while before the call was answered. Gu Wenze said bluntly, "Qiao Hua wants to talk to Shen Zhen."
A gloomy voice came over the other side, "No time."
Gu Wenze's tone was calm, without any disturbance, "I agreed to Qiao Hua and let her talk to Shen Zhen."
You Xiaonian gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Wenze, you treat me as a favor, right?"
"It's just a phone call, it won't delay your business."
There was a stalemate on both ends of the phone, and neither of them spoke. For a long time, You Xiaonian finally gave up and said coldly, "I'll give you ten minutes."
Gu Wenze handed the phone to Qiao Hua, "Long story short."
For the sake of Gu Wenze's help, Qiao Hua didn't care about his bad tone and took the phone from Gu Wenze.
Only a rustling sound was heard, and when it sounded again it turned into a familiar voice, "Hello."
Listening to Shen Zhen's slightly hoarse voice, Qiao Hua suppressed his excitement, "Shen Zhen, it's me."
Shen Zhen was not as happy as expected. Instead, he sighed unnoticeably, "Qiao Hua, you were also taken back?"
Qiao Hua's fingers were digging into the sheets unconsciously, "Hmm."
Shen Zhen's throat was a little tight, "Is it because of me?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Qiao Hua glared at Gu Wenze angrily, "Gu Wenze was looking for me. He came with You Xiaonian."
There was no sound on the other end of the phone, and Qiao Hua said hesitantly, "How are you doing lately? Has You Xiaonian bullied you?"
I don't know if it was her imagination. After saying this, Shen Zhen's breathing seemed to be heavier, but her voice was very calm when she spoke, "No."
Qiao Hua was dubious and didn't quite believe in You Xiaonian's character, "Really?"
Shen Zhen smiled softly, "Of course it's true."
Qiao Hua's hanging heart finally fell to the ground. She quietly glanced at Gu Wenze beside her, held her phone tightly and walked to the corner. She lowered her voice and said in a voice that could only be heard by two people, "He... doesn't know about that thing about you, does he?"
Qiao Hua didn't say it clearly, but Shen Zhen understood it. She tightened her hand slightly and took a breath, "He doesn't know."
You Xiaonian let out a sarcastic chuckle, so low that only the two of them could hear it.
Shen Zhen's back tensed, and he deliberately spoke in a relaxed tone, "Okay, don't worry about me all the time. It's you, Gu Wenze didn't do anything to you, right?"
When it comes to this, Qiao Hua doesn't have a good attitude, "What else can you do, just lock me in the house and won't let me out."
Shen Zhen smiled softly, "At least he likes you and won't really be willing to do anything to you."
Qiao Hua's heart felt like it was being burned, and he snorted coldly, "Who wants him to like it?"
Shen Zhen did not reveal the duplicity in her words, and there was deep bitterness hidden in her smile, "Qiao Hua, live a good life with Gu Wenze, I can see that he really cares about you."
Qiao Hua looked back at Gu Wenze, who was also looking at her. She quickly looked away as if she had been burned, thinking that even if she wanted to escape now, she would not be able to escape.
Besides being with Gu Wenze, what else can I do?
The two chatted for a while, and then a deep voice suddenly broke in, "It's time."
Shen Zhen said with disappointment, "Qiao Hua, I'm going to die, you have to take good care of yourself."
"You too."
You Xiaonian on the other end seemed a little anxious. As soon as Qiao Hua finished speaking, the phone was hung up.
Then one hand took the phone from her hand, and Gu Wenze said in a deep voice, "Are you satisfied now?"
Qiao Hua reluctantly nodded.
At least she was relieved now that it was confirmed that Shen Zhen was fine.
Looking at Qiao Hua's relaxed expression, and thinking about what she had secretly asked Shen Zhen just now, her deep eyes became unfathomable.
There are some things that Qiao Hua doesn't know about, but it's better for her.
Not long after, Gu Wenze's cell phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and hung up the phone with his slender fingers.
Qiao Hua looked over and the page just cut off. She asked curiously, "Whose phone number is it?"
Gu Wenze said lightly, "Zhou Family's."
Qiao Hua said doubtfully, "Then why didn't you answer?"
Seeing Qiao Hua's confused look, Gu Wenze threw the phone aside and explained, "Let them dry before we talk."
The people at the Zhou Family seemed really anxious. They made several calls in a row, and the ringtone of their cell phones never stopped.
Gu Wenze was not affected at all and asked Bodyguards to call the family doctor and come over.
Realizing what Gu Wenze meant, Qiao Hua felt a little uncomfortable, "I'm really fine, I'm not hurt."
Gu Wenze said in a strong tone, "No, we must do a check-up."
Qiao Hua whispered, "It's really troublesome."
Although I said this, somewhere in Qiao Hua's heart seemed to be soaked in the winter sunshine and warm.
Soon the family doctor came over and gave Qiao Hua a detailed physical examination, confirming that Qiao Hua was not injured or uncomfortable. Gu Wenze was relieved at that.
Qiao Hua curled his lips, "I told you it's okay, but you still don't believe me."
Gu Wenze looked into her eyes, "You can't take risks with this kind of thing."
Qiao Hua I didn't know for a moment whether Gu Wenze was talking about her health or the child in her belly.
At this moment, Gu Wenze's cell phone rang again, it was still the call from Father Zhou.
Gu Wenze glanced at the time and seemed to feel that the time had come. He picked up the phone with knuckled fingers and finally answered the call humbly.
"President Gu, it's me, I am Zhou Qiwen's father."
Father Zhou's voice was full of flattery and panic. He had obviously heard that Zhou Qiwen had sneaked into the Manor in the middle of the night to do harm to Qiao Hua.
Gu Wenze listened calmly and had no intention of responding.
Zhou's father was even more uneasy, unsure of what Gu Wenze meant, "President Gu, it's my fault in teaching my son, and the kid Qiwen was also temporarily confused. For the sake of him helping you, can you please be accommodating?"
Gu Wenze raised the corner of his lips with a sarcastic arc, "So you mean, if he touches my people, I should also let him go?"
