Chapter 590: Chapter 590: Does Young Master Gu Want to be Pricked by a Needle Again?
Qiao Yin looked up.
Upon seeing the man’s face, she paused in surprise: “Is that you?”
“What a coincidence, Doctor Qiao, I run into you even when I just step out for a meal!”
Gu Jing had an expression of delighted surprise, “Don’t you think we have a certain affinity?”
Before Qiao Yin could respond, Lu Yanxi spoke up: “Young Master Gu, it seems like you have an affinity with everyone. A few days ago when this restaurant opened, Mo Lulu and I were dining here. You said the same thing about having an affinity with her.”
Mo Lulu was a somewhat famous actress whose Xianxia drama was currently a big hit. Many people in the industry knew about Gu Jing’s pursuit of her.
Gu Jing, nonchalantly taking the hit, didn’t lose his enthusiasm, his gaze still fixated on Qiao Yin: “My affinity with Mo Lulu is just so-so, but I believe that my connection with Doctor Qiao is much deeper, isn’t it, Doctor Qiao?”
Qiao Yin immediately shook her head: “Young Master Gu, you’re too polite. I don’t think we have any particular connection. You should return to your seat and enjoy your meal. Standing here isn’t quite appropriate; you are too attention-grabbing.”
Gu Jing chuckled: “Is it a bad thing to grab other’s attention? You probably do not realise how much attention you attract. In my opinion, you are the most beautiful one in this restaurant. The moment I walked in, I spotted you. You are simply dazzling.”
Qiao Yin continued shaking her head: “I am not dazzling. We were peacefully having our meal until you came over and everyone started looking this way. I do not appreciate attracting attention. Please leave, Young Master Gu.”
Gu Jing seemed keen to linger, but Qiao Yin warned: “Does Young Master Gu want another taste of the needle?”
The slight alteration in Gu Jing’s face reflected his recollection of the unbearable pain of not being able to speak. He sighed regretfully and reluctantly left.
Only after he had left, did Lu Yanxi speak up to Qiao Yin: “Yinyin, how do you know Gu Jing? What did you mean about the needle? You didn’t really prick him, did you?”
“Yes, I actually did. Old Sir Gu was treated at Shensong Hospital, and Gu Jing accompanied him there. That’s how we met.”
“I see, you should be cautious around him and maintain some distance. Otherwise, you might get involved in scandals with him, and then become a target of his two sisters!”
Qiao Yin was confused: “Get targeted by his two sisters? What does that mean? Do his sisters regulate his relationships with women?”
“Exactly!”
Lu Yanxi spoke softly: “I heard that Old Sir Gu gets frustrated with his grandson’s lack of ambition and wants his oldest granddaughter, Gu Ranxuan, to inherit the family business. Gu Ranxuan is currently being rotated around various sectors within the Guoti Corporation. She is very capable and holds a good reputation.”
Suddenly recalling her previous encounter with Gu Ranxuan, Qiao Yin realised that she had only noticed her stunning beauty and completely overlooked her potential to inherit the Gu Family business.
She never expected herself to make the same mistake as Lu Lingche, ignoring a person’s abilities due to their exceptional physical appearance.
No wonder Dongfang Mu tried tirelessly to marry Gu Ranxuan.
“Gu Ranxuan is greatly career-oriented, it seems she hasn’t been in a single romantic relationship till now! She doesn’t date herself and hates it when her brother tarnishes the family reputation with his playboy ways. So, she keeps a strict check on his romantic relationships and doesn’t allow Gu Jing to interact with other women, as he seems to be already engaged.”
“Gu Jing’s second sister, Gu Ranmo, is now a major sensation in the entertainment industry with a good public image. She also fears that her brother’s frequent interactions with women would tarnish her innocent image. So whenever Gu Jing gets too friendly with a woman, she sends someone to warn them to keep their distance.”
Hearing all this, Qiao Yin couldn’t help but laugh: “I see Gu Jing never refrains from chasing after women. Despite their strict supervision, Gu Jing is still a playboy – their control seems to have no effect! They should concentrate on disciplining their brother instead of those women. It’s like putting the cart before the horse.”
