Gu Jinrong’s statent sent shockwaves through the room, and Li Changzhi was definitely not the only person affected.
Perhaps Li Changzhi had misunderstood, and taken things to an outrageous extent. Others might have also held so misunderstandings, such as Wa Zicong, who silently went along with the flow, and Chen Jiaming, who had just suggested leaving to avoid conflict.
Not to ntion the brothers outside who were anxious and worried for White Flower Snake.
What exactly did Gu Nuan an by her statent?
What did it an that Wa Zicong knew sothing that Chen Jiaming didn’t, sothing that even Wa Zicong intentionally hid? If Wa Zicong had indeed deliberately kept it from Chen Jiaming, how did Gu Nuan co to know about it? Could it be that Gu Nuan had been in contact with Wa Zicong beforehand, and they had colluded?
With these thoughts in mind, it’s natural that Chen Jiaming’s expression grew unsightly, tinged with dissatisfaction.
When it cos to cooperation, to business, integrity is of utmost importance. If a partner lacks integrity, then there is no point in even discussing matters.
"Please explain this matter clearly!" Chen Jiaming demanded, with a force and seriousness that matched his usual prudent style.
At that mont, he had forgotten to check Wa Zicong’s reaction.
Gu Nuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, but she also did not look at her ex to see his reaction. She said, "President Chen, please don’t misunderstand. The invitation I sent President Chen had been accorded with his consent, so, the business secret that I know definitely did not co from him. Besides, this man, when he dumped before, secretly dated another woman, cheating for who knows how many years. Can I possibly trust a word he says?"
Wa Zicong’s face turned dark at her last few words.
Because he had no refutation.
Cheating with two won at once was a fact. Secretly dating another woman for years was a fact. Dumping his childhood sweetheart at a critical mont was a fact.
Being a scumbag was a fact.
Even if he now wanted to repent, given his past misdeeds, the chance of regaining trust was practically zero.
"His words are always seventy percent false; if there are thirty percent that are true, one should be thanking the heavens already."
With these words, Gu Nuan effectively stripped the man of his façade in front of everyone.
This resulted in Chen Jiaming freezing in surprise, a chill crawling up his back. When he turned to look at Wa Zicong, his gaze was filled with a different kind of sentint.
By now, if Wa Zicong remained silent, it would be tantamount to admitting his own guilt. Clearing his throat twice, he said, "Miss Gu flatters . If I truly had such ability, to deceive countless people, would my life be in shambles like it is now?"
Gu Jinrong was certainly not fooled by his words, casually remarking, "That depends on what your ultimate goal is."
Chen Jiaming was shocked once again. Being as clever as he was, he imdiately grasped the implication behind Gu Nuan’s words—the long con.
Wa Zicong frowned slightly, his lips almost biting together, and a glint of light passing fleetingly across his eyes. From her stoic expression, one could not discern a trace of anything, but that alone didn’t prove that perhaps she knew sothing.
Had she found out about his past from another man, from Ou Yanan?
Unexpectedly, to everyone’s surprise, Wa Zicong said in a lowered voice, "Miss Gu, let’s have a private talk."
There was an undertone of surrender in his voice.
Chen Jiaming’s gaze deepened. Since Gu Nuan had brought up the matter, which was related to his business, how could he not want to know? With a bang, he sat back down in the chair he had just thought to leave.
