Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife Chapter 273 Does His Dad Know? (5)

At this ti, Gu Nuan was utterly unaware that her mother was coming.

Over the past few days, the company had given them, a group of people, a vacation, a so-called consolation leave after a "work injury." At the sa ti, the police investigating Fu Yubo’s assault case had been calling them, the people involved, to the police station to make statents.

That day, at the public security bureau, Gu Nuan ran into Zhong Qiaohui, who had also co to give her statent.

"I haven’t seen you for a few days, and you seem to have gained so weight," Zhong Qiaohui said, curiously sizing her up.

Gu Nuan thought about how she had been resting at ho these past two days, and thus was forcefully requested by a certain little friend to cook various tasty dishes, following him to eat all kinds of seafood delicacies—it would be strange if she hadn’t put on weight.

"Did Miss Zhong co by herself?" Gu Nuan changed the subject.

Zhong Qiaohui pointed towards the statent room, "Li Changzhi is inside. I’m waiting for her to co out so I can give her a good scolding. The last ti I scolded her too lightly, it was neither here nor there."

This Miss Zhong was truly like a knight ready to draw her sword at any injustice.

Zhong Qiaohui sat on the waiting bench with Gu Nuan, chatting, "I heard that you can read lips."

"A little," Gu Nuan replied.

"I didn’t expect you to be so clever. Although, I heard you were recruited by Director Chen, you must be quite skilled," Zhong Qiaohui said.

Perhaps Gu Nuan could interpret this as the other party actually having so admiration and approval for her.

"Let’s be friends," Zhong Qiaohui indeed extended her hand to her.

Gu Nuan looked at the hand she reached out, slightly hesitant.

She hadn’t forgotten Su Yixia’s betrayal.

"What, has soone hurt you?"

Zhong Qiaohui was indeed different from a naively enthusiastic student.

From her tone, Gu Nuan seed to hear that she had experienced sothing similar.

"It’s hard to judge a person’s heart by their face. I thought you knew that. After all, you seem smart. Now that I’m offering my friendship, of course, you can trust , or you can choose not to trust . I feel the sa way. As for how far this friendship will go, let’s leave it to fate and not overthink it. There are too many temptations in this world, and how a person’s heart might change is unpredictable—like soone currently being questioned by the police."

Zhong Qiaohui spoke so candidly that Gu Nuan couldn’t help but smile.

She shook the other person’s hand, symbolically. Indeed, just as the other person said, no one can guarantee how a person’s heart may change. One can only take it one step at a ti.

"By the way, how co I heard that you got married?" Zhong Qiaohui suddenly teased her with a playful wink.

Gu Nuan froze, wondering where she had heard such a thing.

Zhong Qiaohui looked sowhat embarrassed, "That day when you went to shower, it seed like your cellphone buzzed for a bit. I was going to help you check to see who was calling. And when I looked, there was a text ssage, reading ’husband’."

Gu Nuan definitely wouldn’t have written ’husband’ for the contact na in her phone; it was Mr. Bai who had secretly changed his own na in her phone to ’husband.’ Later, she thought that writing his na or nickna might give people sothing to talk about, so she decided to leave it as ’husband,’ and thus made no change.

"Yes," Gu Nuan didn’t want to bluff her way through it and end up making things worse.

"Heh," Zhong Qiaohui grinned, "I didn’t expect you to get married so early. And even earlier than Manager Wu."

Probably her affair with Wa Zicong was already common knowledge in the company.

Gu Nuan didn’t respond, actually not wanting to bring up this person. The feelings of the past indeed existed. She couldn’t deny that.

"No man is reliable. I didn’t expect that after being dumped, you would so quickly trust a man again," Zhong Qiaohui said with a touch of emotion.

Gu Nuan wasn’t sure how to respond to that.
