about their mom. 。。Yi Muyang chimed in with a suggestion: "Should we go to Senzhou and visit Mom""Yes!" "Yes!"The children all answered in unison. Going out to play was always a good idea! 。Shù Tīng...Mother Chen was momentarily flustered. Looking at the lawyer again, although gentle and seemingly non-aggressive, she had discovered through their interactions that he was not easy to fool. He was principled and wouldn't say a word more than he should.

Thinking that Gu Ruandong was truly capable of doing something that would plunge their lives into darkness, Chen's mother clutched the lawyer's hand tightly.

Let's talk about this again.

Tinglan's hand was indeed a little painful when she was grasped, but he controlled himself, calmly withdrew his hand from Chen's mother's grasp, and said expressionlessly: "Sorry, we talked about everything that needed to be said before."

"Ms. Shu, you're a friend of my daughter Ruan Ruan, so you should know she's the sister of Gu Ruandong. This really doesn't have to be this way, we can talk this through properly. We're all family." Seeing that being tough wasn't working, Mother Chen resorted to a softer approach.

Shutinglan and Xiao Xin had already posted the last picture. Glancing at Chen's mother, they didn't want to be too harsh and have the opposite effect. Today was just right, so Shutinglan replied,

“I’m just a lawyer hired by the Gu Group. There are many things I can’t decide on my own, and you should know the Gu Group’s stance. Let me go back and report your situation to the Gu Group. Then, I'll contact you again about whether there’s any room for maneuver.”

He finished speaking and immediately got into the car with Xiao Xin, not giving Chen's mother any chance to speak. As he drove, his mind naturally flashed thoughts: "A villain has his own reckoning; Gu Ruandong is capable and disdainful of playing dirty tricks like forceful demolition. However, directly altering the planning map is truly ruthless; it has completely cut off all these people's escape routes."

She knew Gu Ruandong wasn't just a threat. If the other party didn't cooperate, he would need to spend more compensation or energy dealing with it. He was truly capable of...

It can be done.

Not only did Shu Tinglan understand Gu Ruandong, but Gu Ruannuan also knew this was something her brother could do. She didn't want to interfere with her mother, and there was one thing she said right: "Poor mountains and bad waters breed vicious people." She just wanted to stay away. But if their house truly became a matchbox, things would get messy later on, and she would inevitably be implicated. So, she gathered her courage and decided to talk to Gu Ruandong.

She called him, and as always, it was his secretary Xiao Cai who answered. Xiao Cai replied in an official tone, saying she would relay the message to Mr. Gu. After a while, Xiao Cai called her back, saying that Mr. Gu was at Baili Club and asked her to go there directly.

Baoli Club, the name alone sounded like it wasn't a respectable place. Since she had never been to such an establishment, she felt a bit apprehensive and called Lu Yaoyao to ask her to accompany her.

Lu YaoYao finished filming the dating show and is currently looking at new scripts. This is a relatively free time for her, plus it was Ruan Ruan's request, so she agreed without hesitation.

Bailing Club is the largest club under Gu Group, and also its headquarters. All the managers of clubs under Gu Group are cultivated from Bailing Club. With more clubs and employees, there are inevitably some who disobey orders. Especially in a few remote clubs where Gu Ruandong rarely goes, they take advantage of their isolation or hold a僥倖心理, engaging in illegal activities behind the scenes. There is even one club that uses high-educated women as its selling point, attracting many high-end customers. In the middle of the year, Gu Ruandong rectified it once, slightly restraining them. As the end of the year approached, Gu Ruandong simply shut down these clubs with a history of wrongdoing.

For those in charge, it came as a bit of a surprise, so they couldn't...

Now, everyone is gathered around Bao Li, pleading for mercy. Gu Ruan Dong is a decisive and ruthless person. Once he makes up his mind, there's no turning back.

At this moment, he was still sitting there nonchalantly, indifferent to the explanations and assurances given by the several responsible parties about never repeating the mistake. Only Xiao Cai and Baoli's head person were dealing with them.

Today Yu Yu is also here. She's not actually a formal employee of the club; most of the time, she acts as someone to accompany Gu Ruan Dong during social events. When there are important guests, she needs to liven up the atmosphere, help with playing cards, and shield him from drinking too much, etc. She also has a good relationship with the head of Baoli. This time, she's helping to deal with those few people.

When Ruanruan and Luyaoyao were brought in, all they saw was this smoky scene. There were pleas for mercy and shouts of reprimand. Only that person seemed to be invisible, sitting in the corner, watching everything coldly.

Ruan Ruan and Lu Yaoyao stood at the door, both stunned. They had originally thought that Xiao Cai had invited Ruan Ruan here for a private meeting, but they never expected this kind of scene.

Both of them were barefaced and plain today, standing timidly at the door like little white rabbits who had wandered into a wolf's den.

The people inside, because of the sudden appearance of two young girls at the door, all cast glances at them.

Yu Yu spoke first, cursing the waiter who had brought them in: "Whose guests are these How did you bring them here Don't you know that Shao Gu is here"

The waiter whispered, "He's looking for Mr. Gu. Ms. Cai has told me about it."

Xiao Cai also saw them, didn't expect Lu Yaoyao to be here too, and they arrived half an hour earlier than scheduled.

Gu Ruan was shrouded in darkness, and the first thing he saw was them.

He was half an hour early, his brow furrowed slightly but not visibly.

Yu Yu had spent more time with Gu Ruandong than Xiao Cai, and she was good at reading people. At a glance, she could tell from Gu Ruandong's expression that he didn't want to see these two girls right now, so she walked over with a smile and said:

“Mr. Gu is busy at the moment, please wait in the next room for a while.”

Then, she turned slightly and instructed the waiter who had brought them over: "Take them over there, and have two plates of fruit prepared. Charge it to my account." She was attentive to detail and always greeted everyone with a smile, no matter who they were.

Ruan Ruan saw the situation and realized it was not suitable to wait here. She decided to go to another private room with the waiter.

But as soon as Lu Yaoyao saw Gu Ruandong, her emotions became uncontrollable.

Since the property complaint incident last time, the two of them hadn't seen each other again. After she returned from filming a week-long show at the homestay, she even checked the playback of the camera at her doorstep. There was no movement across the street, as if they had moved away. Later, after the show aired, it received a good response. Online discussions about her and the male guest's "sweet love" moments were constantly trending, and she also diligently promoted the show every day, posting sweet video clips in her circle of friends every day, garnering countless likes. Even Ruanruan and Lu Kuo suspected that she might have really fallen in love with the male guest.

But someone remained completely still, as if they had vanished.

She and Gu Ruandong didn't really have any dealings with each other, but because of Ruanruan's relationship, she had asked him for help a few times.

Lu Yaya had always been the one being coaxed by others, but this was the first time she was inexplicably treated like that.

< >He was so coldly ignored that his emotions couldn't be controlled at the moment, and he sarcastically said: < >

"Two plates of fruit They think they can send us away with that, treating us like beggars"g couldn't imagine her making a fuss: "If you were willing to make a scene, it would be fine.""To be honest, I wasn't just avoiding making a scene. Part of it was that I didn't want Yao Yao to see our...
