Chapter 47: Are Your Ears Deaf Too?

Xu Si Personally Debunks Rumors, The Real Mrs. Gu is Someone Else

Gu Shao and Mingzhu’s Childhood Photos Surface, The Entire Internet is Shipping Them

Lu Chengze already knew Xu Si couldn’t be Mrs. Gu, so he skipped the first article and clicked on the second.

A rich second-generation, claiming to have attended the same kindergarten as Gu Zhiyan, posted a photo and video.

It was a photo and video of young Gu Zhiyan and Mingzhu co-hosting at the kindergarten’s New Year’s Eve party.

The adorable human cubs and their childish words melted the hearts of a large wave of netizens.

Xu Si’s proactive debunking, coupled with the online voting that had just appeared, immediately led to a rich second-generation who knew Gu Zhiyan coming forward to reveal the truth, making netizens believe that the mysterious Mrs. Gu was Mingzhu.

For a time, the entire internet was filled with people shipping the couple.

“Ming Pharmaceutical is also one of the leading companies in the country. A marriage with the Gu family would be a strong alliance.”

“I heard that this young lady is very low-key and has been studying abroad for a long time. So, Mr. Gu didn’t date for so long, was it because he was keeping himself pure for his childhood sweetheart?”

“The only woman who has been by Mr. Gu’s side for so many years, it’s probably true. Indeed, in the real world, there’s no such thing as a domineering CEO falling for a silly, sweet girl.”

Lu Chengze casually scrolled through a few comments, the tight string in his mind finally relaxing a bit.

After exiting Weibo, he opened WeChat.

There were quite a few new messages on his phone, most of them from Liu Yiyi, all of them were boring nonsense.

He didn’t even bother to look at them, scrolling down to the bottom to find Jian Yao’s WeChat.

There were no messages.

Since he went to Shanghai, Jian Yao had never sent any messages.

Lu Chengze looked at the soft cat avatar and gnashed his teeth, “You’re quite something.”

He closed WeChat with a black face, put his phone upside down on the leather seat, and closed his eyes to rest.

The car stopped at the Lu Corporation parking lot. Lu Chengze didn’t take the president’s elevator directly from the basement to the top floor, but instead deliberately walked around to the front entrance of the company and entered from the main entrance.

The front desk of Lu Corporation was a group of young girls. Because their work was easy and their location was special, they were considered the center of gossip in the entire Lu Corporation.

Any clues they saw would be spread throughout the Lu Corporation within half an hour.

It was the kind of place where even passing dogs would be pointed at.

Lu Chengze, with a conspicuous fever patch on his forehead, walked past the front desk with a calm stride.

Sure enough, before the elevator closed, he heard the whispers of several front desk girls behind him.

“Is that a cooling patch on Mr. Lu’s forehead? Is he sick?”

“I’ve been working here for two years, and this is the first time I’ve seen Mr. Lu sick. It seems like Jian Yao’s resignation really had a big impact on Mr. Lu.”

“Of course, after all, they grew up together, some people who came in later can’t compare…”

“Although I understand Ms. Jian’s feelings, Mr. Lu looks pretty pitiful…”

…

Wu Yue followed behind Lu Chengze, hearing the words of the few front desk girls, he wished he could bury his head in his stomach.

This was really hitting the nail on the head!

This young master was having a nervous breakdown over Jian Yao’s matter, wasn’t this hitting the gun?

Wu Yue thought of the few assistants in the president’s office who were dismissed for leaking the news about Liu Yaozong, and he couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for these clueless little girls.

He subtly adjusted his position, in case Lu Chengze got angry and it affected him.

Unexpectedly, until they got on the elevator and the elevator door slowly closed in front of him, Lu Chengze didn’t show any sign of getting angry.

Wu Yue: ???

Not only did he burn his brain, but his ears are deaf too?

Wu Yue followed Lu Chengze to the top floor with a head full of question marks.

They had been delayed at the hospital, and Liu Yiyi and Lin, the assistant, had already arrived.

Without a few assistants to help, Lin was so busy that he was practically flying around, and didn’t even notice them arriving.

Liu Yiyi, who rarely worked, was unusually slow, making Wu Yue frown.

In the past, he thought Liu Yiyi was a gentle and understanding woman, a thousand times better than the cold and unromantic Jian Yao.

But after Liu Yaozong messed up, he finally realized the benefits of Jian Yao.

Both graduated from Jingbei, Jian Yao’s knowledge, ability, and vision were far superior to Liu Yiyi’s, and she could even pave the way for Lu Chengze’s future career.

But Liu Yiyi, who seemed gentle and obedient, was actually just a parasite who clung to Brother Lu with her family and drained him.

Wu Yue was unhappy, but he didn’t say anything, considering Lu Chengze’s face.

When Liu Yiyi saw Lu Chengze and Wu Yue coming, her eyes lit up, and she suddenly stood up. Her gaze fell on the fever patch on Lu Chengze’s forehead, and she asked with concern.

“Brother Lu, are you sick? Is it serious?”

Lu Chengze glanced at Liu Yiyi’s gentle face and her eyes full of admiration, and his gloomy expression softened a little. “I’m fine.”

He had something on his mind and didn’t want to deal with Liu Yiyi.

After speaking, he walked straight towards the office, passing her.

Behind him, Wu Yue looked at his back and muttered to himself: “So he’s not deaf after all?”

Then why did he seem completely oblivious to the gossip at the front desk?

After going to Shanghai, he suddenly seemed like a different person, even he couldn’t figure out Brother Lu’s thoughts.

Liu Yiyi watched Lu Chengze’s retreating figure.

His indifferent attitude made a hint of disappointment flash in her eyes.

But soon, she regained her composure and returned to her seat, picking up the lunchbox she had prepared and followed him into the office.

Lu always refused to eat lunchboxes, he thought the food would taste different after it had been sitting for a while.

But his stomach was really bad, so to take care of him, Jian Yao specially had a simple kitchen built in the rest area of the president’s office, and she would come an hour early every day to cook for him.

Liu Yiyi had been around Lu Chengze for a long time, and she had even been to his house, but only Jian Yao could enter that kitchen.

The lunchbox she brought today was specifically to remind Lu Chengze that Jian Yao was unwilling to cook for him, but there were others who were willing.

Knowing that he didn’t like food that had been sitting out for a while, she specially made a cold meal.

Vegetable salad and fruit.

Liu Yiyi walked in with her love lunchbox full of anticipation, and saw Lu Chengze standing in front of his desk in a daze.

And on the table in front of him was the childish and cheap crystal pendant.

It had been broken in two by Lu Chengze in a fit of anger, and then glued back together.

Liu Yiyi’s fingertips, holding the lunchbox, turned slightly white from the force, and it took almost all her strength to suppress the intense jealousy in her eyes, and she forced a sweet smile on her face.

“Brother Lu, haven’t you eaten yet?”

She walked quickly in her delicate high heels to stand in front of Lu Chengze, and handed him the lunchbox with both hands.

“This is a salad I made myself, try it, it’s delicious.”

…

At the same time, news of Lu’s illness due to Jian’s resignation and his working while sick spread like wildfire in the company’s various gossip groups.

A young man in the finance department office saw the news in the group, snorted, and opened his phone to make a call: “Hey, Chengyuan, I have good news for you…”
