Chapter 408: Finding Bai Yun
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Cui Lin realized that they often came to this bar. Everyone who worked there knew Bai Yun. If anything happened, they would definitely be informed. There would not be no news after such a long time.
He was a little worried.
“He disappeared just like that. 1 can’t just sit here and wait for him. I’ll go out and look for him.”
When Gu Man heard this, she stood up and patted her slightly wrinkled clothes. She already had a goal in mind and walked out of the private room before Cui Lin.
After leaving, she did not hesitate. It was as if she already knew where Bai Yun was. Xiang Yin followed closely behind.
Cui Lin, who was at the back, clearly did not know what had happened. He only said in confusion, “You left so directly. Do you know where Bai Yun is?”
However, soon after Gu Man pushed open the private room, the people inside gave him an answer.
There was clearly an argument in the private room. Bai Yun held the woman’s wrist with one hand and his expression was especially terrifying.
The woman’s body could not help but tremble. The dim light blocked some of her appearance, so Cui Lin, who had just entered, did not recognize the woman.
The door opened. Bai Yun’s questioning did not stop because the door was opened. His angry voice clearly reached everyone’s ears.
“Will Gu Yuan give you such a bottle of wine to support you at this small banquet?”
The others did not dare to say anything after being belittled by Bai Yun. Instead, they were puzzled by his words.
After graduation, they rarely contacted each other, and they were not particularly close friends with Gu Rou. Moreover, there was no one worthy of the Gu family’s attention among them. There was indeed no need to use Romanee Conti to entertain them.
Everything that they had ignored at first gradually surfaced. Everyone looked at Gu Rou with disdain.
Gu Rou’s body trembled even more. She tried her best to ignore the gazes around her. Seeing that the matter was about to be exposed, she still refused to give up and defended herself.
She had long observed that it was a blind spot for the surveillance cameras. Even if they checked the surveillance cameras, they would not be able to find anything. Moreover, her image in Bai Yun’s heart could not be destroyed.
“Young Master Bai, I don’t know why you misunderstood me, but 1 just thought that because they are all my cla.s.smates, that’s why I brought this wine out for everyone to taste.”
There was no sign of anger in her voice. It was soft, weak, and aggrieved. It easily aroused the sympathy in a man’s heart.
At first, the boys sitting there were still suspicious, but when they heard this delicate voice, desire overcame their rationality.
Even though they were facing the Bai family, one of the four great families, they could not help but defend her.
“Young Master Bai, Gu Rou can also store wine here. It’s not just the Bai family’s right to store wine. It’s not right for you to slander others without distinguis.h.i.+ng right or wrong.”
Bai Yun did not speak. When his calm gaze landed on the man, the man could not help but shrink back. Immediately, regret filled his heart.
However, he had already said it. If he did not continue, it would make him look a little cowardly.
“Young Master Bai, Gu Rou is just a young girl. She can’t stand your slander.”
“It’s easy to prove yourself.”
At some point, Gu Man, who was standing at the door and watching the show, had already arrived at the table. She looked at the Romanee Conti on the table and held it in her hand. She lowered her head and sized up the bottle on it. This bottle was indeed real.
The moment Gu Rou saw Gu Man, her expression cracked. Her eyes widened, and the weak image she had just maintained instantly broke. She asked in disbelief, “Gu Man, why are you here?”
Only then did she react. At some point, there were a few more people at the door. She tilted her head and looked over. Unexpectedly, she happened to see Xiang Yin and the handsome man standing beside him. Although she did not know his ident.i.ty, since he could stand beside Xiang Yin, his ident.i.ty was self-evident.
Gu Rou realized that her wrist was still in Bai Yun’s hand and subconsciously broke free.
Coincidentally, Bai Yun was also a little distracted by Gu Man’s arrival, allowing Gu Rou to successfully break free..
