Zhao Chen opened the back door and let them get in the car.
He hurried to the driver’s seat and started driving.
All the way, Zhao Chen didn’t dare to speak.
The heavy atmosphere in the back seat made him realize that sothing extraordinary might have happened.
It was likely sothing more important than offending a major business partner.
Zhao Chen didn’t hear Gu Annan ntion a destination. He glanced in the rearview mirror, seeing that General Manager Gu was just holding Miss Lu tightly, having lost all his usual pride and dignity.
He even felt that, at this mont, General Manager Gu seed like a child.
Not wanting to deal with anything, just holding on to what he cherished most, unwilling to let go.
Zhao Chen decided on his own to drive to the apartnt near the company, just in case there was any need, or if General Manager Gu regained his composure and needed to handle sothing, it would be convenient.
Upon arrival, Gu Annan saw where they were but said nothing.
Zhao Chen quickly got out of the car to open the door.
"General Manager Gu, several partners were very angry at the eting that was just forced to stop..."
As Gu Annan carried Lu Wanwan out, Zhao Chen hadn’t finished his sentence when he coldly spat, "Then let them all get lost!"
Zhao Chen was stunned.
He then watched as General Manager Gu carried Miss Lu inside.
General Manager Gu rarely acted impulsively with work, and it was mostly because of Miss Lu.
But even so, he usually knew how to prioritize.
This eting was of utmost importance to the Gu Family. Even if sothing ca up, he should have provided a solution at this ti.
At worst, he should have said to handle it and deal with it later.
He never expected that General Manager Gu didn’t care at all.
He had only one word: "Get lost."
Zhao Chen had an illusion that it seed not just directed at those partners, but even at the entire Gu Family; it was like he just wanted to say "get lost" to everything.
As if he didn’t care about any of it.
Arthur’s call ca in, and the dazed Zhao Chen answered it.
"How’s it going? Haven’t you solved your General Manager’s problem yet? These Germans have such a bad temper. If he doesn’t co in person, I’m afraid..."
Zhao Chen cleared his throat, not knowing why he unexpectedly wanted to support General Manager Gu’s decision this ti.
"General Manager Gu said to let them get lost!"
Arthur: "...Say that again?"
"Let them get lost, Mr. Arthur!"
Arthur was visibly shaken. Could it be that they failed to stop her miscarriage?
When he ca to his senses, he said speechlessly, "Why are you speaking with such enthusiasm?"
Gu Annan going crazy at this ti didn’t seem odd to him. For soone whose life might be counting down, that woman was undoubtedly more important than anything else.
The company?
If not for a bit of responsibility to the Gu Family and to keep busy so he could think less about Lu Wanwan, he probably wouldn’t want to spend any more ti on it.
But Zhao Chen, you’re just an assistant; aren’t you afraid of losing your job?
"Mr. Arthur," Zhao Chen said seriously this ti, "General Manager Gu has carried the burden of the Gu Family for so many years; he has already done right by them. Why can’t he be willful even once?"
Arthur sighed deeply in his heart.
Indeed, he has done right by the Gu Family.
"But as an assistant, you’re being too willful."

Gu Annan carried her inside and placed her on the bed.
Lu Wanwan wasn’t asleep; her eyes were still open, lying there blankly.
She was a completely different person from the one who broke down crying in the operating room earlier.
He reached out to brush aside a few strands of hair from her forehead, gently rubbing the tears at the corner of her eyes with his fingertip.
