Lin Yiqian sneaked a glance at Gu Nianshen who stood next to her. Was she going to deny that she had ever gone to their cla.s.s? Would she say that Zhang Yang was making it all up?

As she pondered, Gu Nianshen suddenly spoke. "If I'm not mistaken, you've had the fortune of being in the same cla.s.s as I was from the time we were in the third grade."

The way Gu Nianshen looked at Zhang Yang seemed to a.s.sert the fact that he was from the upper cla.s.s.

The surrounding audience increasingly thought that Lin Yiqian and Gu Nianshen were a match made in heaven.

Proud, arrogant, and nasty personalities…

As soon as Gu Nianshen spoke, Lin Yiqian understood his intention. "Yeah. I was there to look at… Gu Nianshen."

Immediately, Lin Yiqian wrapped her arms around Gu Nianshen's hand as her head rested on his shoulder.

She seemed to be enjoying the moment as her gaze softened.

Gu Nianshen looked at the woman who was leaning against him as a smile formed on his face.

"Impossible." Zhang Yang still did not believe that Lin Yiqian did not like him. He could not accept the truth.

Gu Nianshen was losing his patience. "The next time you see my wife, remember to turn the other way. If you don't, you ought to pray that nothing happens to your eyes."

Some people in the audience gasped.

Zhang Yang did not have the courage to speak anymore. Sensing his cowardice, his wife decided to face Gu Nianshen on her own. "Who do you think you are? If you are as great as you claim, why don't you stop her from flirting with other men? She's a s.l.u.t."

"Qi Shaodong." Gu Nianshen completely ignored her.

"Yes, CEO." Qi Shaodong immediately walked over to Gu Nianshen and bowed respectfully.

"Get someone to escort my old cla.s.smate and his wife home," Gu Nianshen said as he accompanied Lin Yiqian away from the crowd.

"Yes, sir."

***

As Gu Nianshen's pace of walking became faster, his facial expression turned colder as well.

Lin Yiqian was observing him the entire time. Once they had arrived at his car, she finally pulled her hand away from him and smiled. "Thank you for what you did today."

"Hehe."

Gu Nianshen chuckled. However, it sounded condescending.

"Your taste in men has never failed to disappoint me," he then said after staring at Lin Yiqian for a while.

It seemed that he actually believed Zhang Yang that Lin Yiqian liked him.

That was not surprising. After all, Lin Yiqian had not denied the fact that she used to sneak up to the cla.s.sroom and peek into it. She must have been trying to look at someone in the cla.s.s.

Lin Yiqian thought as she shrugged with a bitter smile on her face. "I must be blind to have fallen for a jerk."

Was she admitting to the fact that she liked Zhang Yang in the past?

Gu Nianshen clenched his fists tightly. "I'm glad you are aware he is a jerk. Please be more careful next time."

"Yes, thank you Mr. Gu for your kind reminder." Lin Yiqian nodded politely.

She was being covertly condescending.

Gu Nianshen became even more furious. "Lin Yiqian, you belong to the Gu family now. Please look after your reputation. If this happens again, you shall not leave the house in the future."

He then opened the door to the car and got inside.

Wham!

Lin Yiqian shuddered when she heard the door being closed so loudly.

As she looked at the man in the car, she smiled. Then, she immediately started walking toward her own car.

When Qi Shaodong returned to the car, he saw that Lin Yiqian was walking away. "Isn't Mrs. Gu coming with us?"

Before he could speak any further, Gu Nianshen's voice could be heard from the back of the car. "Get in and drive!"
