Chapter 26: ‘Best Friend’

Ring, ring, ring – suddenly, a cell phone rang, breaking the sweet atmosphere between the couple.

Xiang Wanqiao saw her cell phone ringing, so she got off Gu Jingzhan’s lap, walked slowly to the bedside table, picked up the phone and answered it.

Seeing the caller ID, she curled her lips coldly, then swiped the answer button and put the receiver to her ear.

Hello, Weiwei, is there something you want to call me so late?

Qiaoqiao, is it convenient for you to talk now? Lu Siwei asked cautiously.

Xiang Wanqiao turned her head to look at Gu Jingzhan, who was also looking at her. She smiled sweetly at him, and then replied to Lu Siwei: It’s convenient, you say.

Qiaoqiao, the Lu family has encountered some difficulties recently, can you help me? I’m almost desperate.

As she said that, Lu Siwei sniffed, and it sounded like she had been crying.

Xiang Wanqiao sat back next to Gu Jingzhan with her cell phone and turned the phone on speaker in front of him.

Gu Jingzhan opened his arms, embraced her slender waist, and silently watched her flawless performance.

What happened to Lu’s? She pretended to be anxious and said, How did you get cornered? Tell me if you encounter any difficulties, and I will definitely help you.

Qiaoqiao, someone is looking for trouble with Lu’s.

Xiang Wanqiao asked knowingly: Who? Who is looking for trouble with Lu’s?

Lu Siwei paused for a few seconds, and then said the man’s name as if she was particularly embarrassed, Gu Jingzhan.

Gu Jingzhan? Xiang Wanqiao dragged out her voice, pretending to be very surprised, Why did he do this?

Maybe it’s because I gave you an idea last time and asked you to pretend to commit suicide to force him to divorce. He holds a grudge against me, so he retaliated against Lu’s.

Lu Siwei avoided the main point and complained to her in a particularly aggrieved manner.

Gu Jingzhan is not only making articles to slander the quality of Lu’s products, but also fabricating false evidence to anonymously report to the tax bureau that our Lu’s tax evasion.

People from the tax bureau and the industrial and commercial bureau are here today. He is going to completely destroy Lu’s!

Oh? Is that so? Xiang Wanqiao said angrily, standing up for her, Gu Jingzhan is so despicable that he uses these means to deal with you and Lu’s.

Hearing the woman scolding him, Gu Jingzhan silently curled his lips, looking at her with eyes full of helplessness and pampering.

Yes, Qiaoqiao. Lu Siwei pretended to sob twice again, I am also kind-hearted, thinking of helping you get rid of the devil Gu Jingzhan, otherwise I would not let you take such a risk.

I know, you are doing that for my own good.

Of course, we are best friends, how could I hurt you! Lu Siwei expressed her loyalty to her.

Xiang Wanqiao sneered in her heart, and squeezed out every word from between her teeth: Well, we are best friends.

So you will definitely help me, right?

Of course. Xiang Wanqiao said affirmatively, don’t worry, I will definitely ask Gu Jingzhan about this matter, and then let him stop targeting you and the Lu Group.

When Lu Siwei heard her say this, she was relieved, Qiaoqiao, I knew you were the best to me.

You are my best friend, who else can I be good to if I don’t treat you well?

Thank you, Qiaoqiao.

You’re welcome.

After hanging up the phone, the fake smile on Xiang Wanqiao’s face disappeared.

Seeing that she ended the call, Gu Jingzhan pulled her back to his lap and said frankly: I was the one who released the news that Lu’s products had quality problems. As for tax evasion…

That was me.

Hmm? Gu Jingzhan was somewhat surprised. Xiang Wanqiao raised his eyebrows, Very surprised?

Didn’t you protect her very much before? Why have you changed your attitude towards her now?

Xiang Wanqiao sneered and said coldly: I protected her before because I really regarded her as my best friend, but she was so ruthless and hooked up with Xiao Xuan behind my back.

Speaking of Lu Siwei, the hatred in Xiang Wanqiao’s eyes was no less than that for Xiao Xuan.

Seeing her reaction, Gu Jingzhan couldn’t help but think of the dream she had just told him.

Are they Xiao Xuan and Lu Siwei in your dream?

Xiang Wanqiao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: It’s the two of them who are in cahoots with each other!

Hearing this, Gu Jingzhan’s eyes darkened a little, and a fierce look flashed across his eyes, silently remembering the hatred of these two people.

Xiang Wanqiao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed down her emotions.

Thinking that since she had already spoken to Gu Jingzhan, she would no longer hide anything from him.

Before, Xiao Xuan thought I was going to divorce you, and was afraid that it would affect his plans, so he rushed to the hospital to see me, pretending to be affectionate in front of me, and using all kinds of words to try to coax me.

He wanted me to get the bottom price of Gu’s Group’s bid for the development project of the West City Tourism Resort from you.

I could only pretend to agree to him, in order to let him relax his vigilance, and then give him a fake bottom price for the bid, so that all his plans would fall through.

Gu Jingzhan looked at her full of tricks, and couldn’t help feeling a little relieved.

His Qiaoqiao has finally grown up!

If you need my help, just say it.

Waiting for him to say this, Xiang Wanqiao was not polite: I really need your help now.

Say it.

Xiang Wanqiao pursed her lips and said bluntly: I need to know the bottom price of your Gu’s Group’s bid for the development project of the West City Tourism Resort.

Although she knew that Gu Jingzhan had begun to trust her, she was still very nervous when she said it.

She didn’t know how Gu Jingzhan would react, nor did she know if he would misinterpret her meaning.

Gu Jingzhan silently picked up the tablet and directly opened the bid for the development project of the West City Tourism Resort to show her.

For a moment, Xiang Wanqiao paused.

She looked at him with astonishment and slowly said, You…you just showed me the bid like this? Aren’t you afraid…

Will you let me down? Gu Jingzhan asked in a low voice.

Xiang Wanqiao pulled her lips and smiled, No.

So, I believe you.

Before Xiang Wanqiao confessed to him, he would doubt, get angry, and even go crazy like in the afternoon.

But when she told him about the dream, so real and so desperate, he couldn’t doubt her anymore. Subconscious reactions and psychological fears can’t deceive people.

But…even if there were no things today, he would withdraw from this bidding in order to fulfill her.

How could he bear to see the girl he loved deeply in his heart for twenty years lose.
