Chapter 992: Chapter 991: Once Brotherly Love
Once, they were three best friends, but because of this woman, He Shaohuai acted stubbornly, leading to a rift in their relationship.
Gu Shaoting and He Ming had both seen the woman. She was a married woman but claimed she was divorced already.
The woman was stunning, well-dressed and stylish, like a blooming rose,
Gu Shaoting still remembered when the woman saw him, she even flirted with him, trying to seduce him. How could such a frivolous woman be suitable for Shaohuai?
He and He Ming had gently advised him, hoping he would consider his actions carefully and not end up regretting it later.
This kind of woman couldn’t stand loneliness; she would betray He Shaohuai one day.
However, when He Shaohuai met her, he was like bewitched, insisting on her and not hesitating to break ties with his family, his own brothers and friends, and in the end, he left with that woman to live abroad.
So now, hearing from He Ming that he was coming back, Gu Shaoting was really surprised, as they had been out of touch for many years.
“When is he coming back? Is that woman coming back with him?” Gu Shaoting couldn’t help but ask.
“I’m not sure; his tone was somewhat down-hearted. I didn’t dare to ask too much; we’ll know when he’s back,” He Ming said as he touched his nose.
“Well, whenever that is, we should welcome him back.” After all, he was his own brother, and Gu Shaoting couldn’t bear to see him downcast.
“Okay, wow, it’s almost noon already, I’ve been here chatting for so long?” He Ming exclaimed, surprised at how fast the time had passed.
“You just realized you’ve been loafing around here all morning,” Gu Shaoting teased.
“Shall we have lunch together?” He Ming invited.
“I was thinking of having lunch with my wife. I came back last night and I haven’t spoken a single word with Shu Pan till now,” Gu Shaoting said regretfully.
“What’s going on? Don’t tell me you’re so busy that you wouldn’t even know if your wife left?”
“Get lost.” Gu Shaoting shot back a single word.
After He Ming left, Gu Shaoting immediately took out his mobile phone and called Shu Pan.
But Shu Pan did not answer, not willing to give up, he called again, and finally, she answered.
“Dear, are you busy?” Gu Shaoting’s voice, deep as a cello, came through the phone.
“No, I just finished up and was about to go for lunch,” Shu Pan replied.
“I just got back from a business trip; don’t you miss me? I miss you a lot. Let’s have lunch together,” Gu Shaoting’s sweet words made Shu Pan blush, even though she was only hearing them on the phone.
“Alright, you pick the place, I’ll come straight there. Don’t come pick me up,” Shu Pan responded.
They hadn’t had a proper conversation in over half a month, as he had left on short notice last time.
“Okay,” Gu Shaoting hung up and sent Shu Pan the address.
Then he picked up his jacket from the office chair and headed out.
“Mr. Gu, are you going out for lunch?” Xia Xiaoqiao happened to come in on business.
“Yes, anything the matter?” Gu Shaoting asked.
“There’s an urgent document that the business department needs, and it requires your approval and signature,” Xia Xiaoqiao handed over the document.
“Alright, I’ll approve it first.” Gu Shaoting thought it was just a signature, which wouldn’t take long, so he started reviewing the document and as he read through the data, his brow furrowed more and more.
“Secretary Xia, call the business department manager to see me immediately,” Gu Shaoting called the internal line, his tone hinting at a rising anger.
“Okay,” Xia Xiaoqiao’s sweet voice came through.
