CHAPTER 401 - DO NOT RECOGNIZE

At this moment, Shen Ao had already returned home and was preparing to take a bath.

Upon receiving Ma Junhao's call, Shen Ao pretended to be innocent and asked: What did you say? I sent someone to follow you and hurt you? When did this happen?

Just now, when Gu Xiaohui and I were taking a walk by the river to discuss how to create a new New Century City with Mr Lee, we were suddenly surrounded by a few men in black. Among them, a man with a knife scar on his face said, 'I touched the woman you like, Liu steel-like, and you beat me up …' Ma Junhao recounted the story of his beating in one breath.

This is simply outrageous. Someone actually dared to use my name to beat you up, Shen Ao denied. I didn't send my people to do this. If they were sent by me, then why did they reveal my identity?

Then who is it? Ma Junhao knew Shen Ao was not telling the truth, but he did not keep his promise. It was already good enough for him to get this kind of explanation.

How would I know? Shen Ao continued to act innocent and said, Don't worry, as long as you do as I say, no one will dare to touch you. I'll have someone investigate what happened tonight. Once they catch those guys who hurt you, they will definitely give you an explanation.

Ma Junhao knew clearly in his heart that Shen Ao's words were on the surface to help him, but in reality, it was threatening him. However, Ma Junhao did not dare to expose Shen Ao, so he said against his own conscience:

Forget it, I don't need to trouble you with this matter. Gu Xiaohui's chauffeur and bodyguard have already taught them a lesson. I don't want to cause any trouble, so let's call it a day!

Gu Xiaohui's chauffeur and bodyguard? Shen Ao pretended to be surprised and asked, When you were dating Gu Xiaohui, was Gu Xiaohui's driver and bodyguard also with you?

Yes, Ma Junhao answered honestly. Luckily, Gu Xiaohui's chauffeur and bodyguard arrived in time, otherwise, I would have been beaten to death by those guys …

Ma Junhao detailed how Gu Xiaohui's chauffeur and bodyguard, Liu Chuang, subdued Scarface and the others, and recounted how they were injured.

After listening to Ma Junhao's story, Shen Ao felt a chill in his heart. He felt that with such a powerful bodyguard by Gu Xiaohui's side, it would be really difficult to deal with her in the future.

Last time, in the 8th ward of the 11th floor of Inpatient Department of Municipal People's Hospital, it was because the driver and bodyguard of Gu Xiaohui's father, Gu Yuming, had subdued him in the ward of Wu Xu that he could bear it and apologize to Wu Xu. He also compensated Wu Xu for the loss of 1 million yuan.

This time, Scarface and the others that Liu Dazhuang had sent were injured by Gu Xiaohui's bodyguards. He knew that there were a total of six people on Scarface's side, and they were all ruthless characters.

Since there is someone helping you out, then I am relieved, Shen Ao prepared some words and said, Junhao, we are old classmates, I won't hurt you, and I definitely won't send anyone to beat you up. On the contrary, I will always help and support you, if there is anything in the future, please be careful, I will do my best …

Thank you! Ma Junhao replied: Gu Xiaohui has already agreed to work with Mr Lee on the New Century City development project. I hope you can work in front of Mr Lee and strive for the early success of our cooperation!

Okay, I will try my best, Shen Ao said straightforwardly. As for whether your cooperation will succeed, I won't guarantee it. I still need both of you to negotiate!

Un, I understand! Young Master Shen, I'm sorry, it's already so late, I still need to disturb you on the phone, so I shouldn't blame you wrong! Ma Junhao said against his own heart.

It's fine, Shen Ao pretended to be magnanimous and said: If it was me, I would also do the same thing. It's fine, Shen Ao pretended to be magnanimous and said: If it was me, I would do the same.

Alright, good night! Ma Junhao answered.

Good night! Shen Ao answered and immediately hung up.

Just now, Liu Dazhuang had called him and said that his six subordinates, Scarface, were injured and even doubted his hearing. However, now that he understood the situation from Ma Junhao, he completely believed it.

Therefore, he shouted in rage, "What a bunch of f * cking idiots! Yesterday, I had them take care of Hou Yong in that yard, and not only was he beaten up by the guy next to Sun Tie, he even rescued Liu Tie. Today, I had Liu Dazhuang send them to teach a lesson to this disobedient guy, Ma Junhao, and was also injured by Gu Xiaohui's chauffeur and bodyguard.

However, thinking back to how Gu Xiaohui had agreed to work with Gold Tooth, Gu Xiaohui felt relieved that she would fall into her trap.

Gu Xiaohui ah Gu Xiaohui, aren't you very smart? How could he not see through such a simple method? I want to see how smart you are for the time being. When the time comes, let's see how I'll take care of you!

After Shen Ao felt relieved, he felt really good, so he took his clothes from the bedroom and went to the bathroom to take a bath.

...

As Gu Xiaohui escorted Ma Junhao to the entrance of Wan Jia International and drove home, she kept thinking about how she and Ma Junhao would walk along the river bank by the Rong City River tonight.

Thinking back to the time when they were reuniting on the lawn in the green belt, the six men in black, led by Scarface, suddenly barged in. The two men in black grabbed him, covered his mouth with a towel, and the other four beat Ma Junhao together, leaving a lingering fear in their hearts.

Recalling the scene where Ma Junhao was beaten black and blue by Scarface and bleeding profusely, he felt a pang in his heart.

Those guys must have been sent by Shen Ao to put Ma Junhao to death. Ma Junhao didn't conspire with that brat Shen Ao to frame me, Gu Xiaohui muttered to herself. It looks like I really blamed Ma Junhao wrong, especially my mother. Why does everyone blame him?

He recalled his mother's anger when she heard that he had arranged for Ma Junhao to work at the company and appointed him to be Corporation Vice Chairman. She strongly opposed and stopped him and even brought out her father's last words to warn her.

No, I have to go home and ask mother, why are they so biased against Ma Junhao, why are they trying to stop us from being together? I have to get my mother to give me a reasonable explanation! Thinking of this, Gu Xiaohui stepped on the accelerator fiercely.

It was late at night.

There were very few pedestrians and cars on the street, making it seem exceptionally deserted.

Gu Xiaohui drove through the neon streets, and before long, the villa where Lili lived was there.

Gu Xiaohui parked her BMW at the entrance of the district and followed behind it. Liu Chuang also stopped the Mercedes-Benz 500 car.

Liu Chuang opened the car door and got off. He walked to the front of Gu Xiaohui's BMW. Gu Xiaohui opened the driver's window and asked Liu Chuang:

Mr Liu, how did you know that Ma Junhao and I were going for a walk by the river tonight? When we were surrounded by those criminals, did you appear in time?

CHAPTER 402 - EXTORTION

Wu Tie answered honestly, When you were going out tonight, Mrs Gu called and told me to go and protect your safety. When I saw Vice President Ma together with you, I knew that you guys had something to discuss, so I didn't disturb you. Later on, I found out that you guys were being surrounded and helped …

Oh, I understand. After hearing Liu Chuang's story, Gu Xiaohui acted as if she suddenly understood something and reminded him, You must not tell anyone about what happened tonight, especially my mother. Do you know about it?

Un, I understand! Liu Chuang nodded seriously and said, Chairman Gu, don't worry. I will keep what happened tonight a secret. It's getting late. You should go home and rest!

Okay, thanks! Gu Xiaohui thanked him and started the car.

Liu Chuang stood on the spot and watched as Gu Xiaohui drove the BMW into the villa area. He was filled with regret, but he couldn't understand why Gu Xiaohui, who was as cold as ice in front of everyone, would follow Ma Junhao without any hesitation and even try to get intimate with him.

Sigh …

Liu Chuang stood there thoughtfully until Gu Xiaohui drove the BMW into the district and disappeared from his sight. Only then did he sigh, shake his head, jump into the Mercedes-Benz 500 private car and drive towards the district opposite him.

Gu Xiaohui drove the BMW along the residential road to the garage of her mother's house and parked it there. She took her handbag and got off the car. Then she walked to the door of the villa, opened it with her key, entered the living room and closed the door.

Mrs Gu was sitting absentmindedly on the sofa in the living room, watching TV. As soon as she saw Gu Xiaohui enter the room with her handbag, she made her walk up to him and asked in a straightforward manner:

Where did you go? Why did you come back so late?

I... I …" Gu Xiaohui stammered, but when she remembered that she went out to date Ma Junhao, whom her mother hated the most, she was too embarrassed to open her mouth.

Why did you lie to me? Mrs Gu saw her daughter trying to defend her, so she asked loudly, You obviously drove off to find that loser Ma Junhao, only to say that it was Liu Chuang who drove you to the company?

When Gu Xiaohui heard her mother mention the name scum man again, she immediately became angry. She angrily asked, On what basis do you call Ma Junhao a scum man? How did he offend you?

On what basis? Mrs Gu said coldly, Just based on the fact that he had once extorted your father and threatened him, I'll say that he is a scum!

Extortion? Gu Xiaohui asked in surprise, Since when did Ma Junhao blackmail my dad?

Mrs Gu replied, A few days before you stole our family's account book and prepared to take it to the Civil Affairs Bureau to marry Ma Junhao...

How did he blackmail my dad? Gu Xiaohui asked with a frown.

Mrs Gu explained, "Ever since you brought Ma Junhao home to meet me and your father, we all felt that he was not only a little arrogant and boastful, but also a little arrogant. He didn't want you to continue to date him and wanted to stop you from doing so.

After graduation, you actually proposed to marry Ma Junhao. Your father and I saw that we couldn't stop you, so we discussed it together, and your father came forward and asked Ma Junhao to leave you. Ma Junhao didn't agree, but seeing that your father was adamant, he opened his mouth wide and actually asked your father for a breakup fee of 5 million yuan. If you don't agree, then we will die together …

Ah? There's actually such a thing? Gu Xiaohui had always been kept in the dark by her parents and always believed that her parents were making things difficult for Ma Junhao. When she finished listening to her mother's story, she felt a little confused and asked, Did my father agree to his conditions?

I did, Mrs Gu nodded. However, I didn't give it to him right away …

Why? Gu Xiaohui asked.

Mrs Gu replied, "Think about it, for a fresh graduate like Ma Junhao, 5 million yuan is simply an astronomical figure. Since he dared to ask for so much money, it means that he wants to get rid of you at the beginning with some unspeakable purpose.

"Your father believed that before Ma Junhao broke up with you, even if we gave him 5 million yuan, he might still ask us for 1 million yuan. For that, your father made a condition that Ma Junhao would make you give up on him, break up the relationship, and immediately send the money to his bank account …

Sigh … Speaking to this, Mrs Gu sighed and said, I didn't expect Ma Junhao to not only not cut all ties with you, but also let you steal our family's account book and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get married. Luckily, he got into a car accident on his way to the Civil Affairs Bureau, otherwise, you would have secretly taken over the marriage certificate that day …

No wonder, after Ma Junhao's accident, not only did you not let me take care of him, but you also took pleasure in Ma Junhao's accident and forced me to marry disabled, a man I didn't even like at all. After listening to her mother's narration, not only did Gu Xiaohui not feel grateful towards her parents, but she also doubted them, and she immediately questioned her mother, Let me ask you, was the accident caused by Ma Junhao related to you guys? It was my father who caused the accident, so he became disabled?

Ah? What did you say? Mrs Gu almost vomited blood in anger when she heard her daughter's words. She said angrily, I think you're crazy. You actually suspected your father. Don't you know what kind of person he is? Even if he disagrees with Ma Junhao, he would never do such a cruel thing. I don't know what kind of aphrodisiac that loser Ma Junhao gave you to make you turn your elbow outwards and be dead set on him …

Gu Xiaohui helped Ma Junhao reverse the case and said, I already said, Ma Junhao is not a trash. He is a capable, ambitious man. I believe that in a few days, you will change your opinion of him!

As the time was not ripe yet, she temporarily could not involve Ma Junhao in developing the New Century City project that would cost tens of billions of yuan jointly with Gu's Group Corporation of America.

Mrs Gu curled her lips and said in a skeptical tone, I'd like to see how Ma Junhao makes me change my opinion of him.

Gu Xiaohui knew that her mother had a deep impression of Ma Junhao, even if she tried her best to convince her, she couldn't. She turned around and went upstairs to her bedroom, locking the door from the inside.

Soon after, she sat down on the edge of the bed in the middle of the bedroom. She took out her phone from her handbag, quickly dialed Ma Junhao's number, and asked in a loud voice:

Ma Junhao, let me ask you, did you extort my parents and ask them for 5 million yuan? If he didn't give you that money, would you die together with me?

CHAPTER 403 - A FEW WORDS

As the saying goes, if you mess around, you have to return the money sooner or later. What should come will eventually come.

After graduating from Ma Junhao University, Gu Yuming had indeed approached Gu Xiaohui to force him to break up with her before getting his marriage certificate ready.

Ma Junhao also asked Gu Yuming for 5 million yuan in breakup fees, and threatened to perish together with Gu Xiaohui if Gu Yuming didn't agree to his request.

Gu Yuming agreed readily, but the condition was that Ma Junhao and Gu Xiaohui had completely broken off their relationship so that he could get the money.

On the one hand, he asked for a huge sum of 5 million yuan, and Gu Yuming agreed without any hesitation, which meant that his family was very rich, and Gu Xiaohui was Gu Yuming's only daughter, so she had to inherit the Gu Yuming's family property. If he married Gu Xiaohui and they became a family, then wouldn't the family property become his and Gu Xiaohui's?

On the other hand, Gu Yuming was a cunning businessman. If he listened to Gu Yuming's words, his head would turn hot and he would blindly break up with Gu Xiaohui. If Gu Yuming changed his mind and refused to give him the 5 million yuan separation fee, wouldn't he become a basket full of water?

Therefore, he changed his mind and continued to socialize with Gu Xiaohui. He urged Gu Xiaohui to steal the household register and obtain the marriage certificate.

He didn't expect that when Gu Xiaohui called him to prepare to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get married to Gu Xiaohui, there was a car accident, which turned him into a half-paralyzed disabled.

Ma Junhao had always suspected that the accident was related to Gu Yuming. He mistakenly believed that Gu Yuming's goal was for him to die in the car accident and leave Gu Xiaohui completely.

Afraid that Gu Yuming would continue to frame him, Ma Junhao could only swallow his anger. He had always kept this thought in his heart and never mentioned it to anyone.

Even though it had been so many years since Ma Junhao extorted Gu Yuming, and he had been in a dilemma for so long, Gu Xiaohui still found out about it.

However, luckily, that old thing, Gu Yuming, had lost his life in a car accident. Now, he was dead without a proof. As long as he didn't admit his loss, not only would Gu Xiaohui not be able to do anything to him, she would even continue her fates with him.

Therefore, Ma Junhao wasn't surprised at all when he received Gu Xiaohui's call and heard about this old story.

What did you say? I extorted your father? Ma Junhao pretended to be calm and asked: This is nonsense, who did you hear it from?"

You don't care who I heard it from, I just want to ask you, is this true? Gu Xiaohui asked.

Indeed, no matter how stupid or stupid Gu Xiaohui was, she couldn't reveal her real mother because she still wanted her mother to admit that Ma Junhao was a son-in-law and that they couldn't make the relationship between them too hard.

Nothing, Ma Junhao denied. I have never come into contact with your father alone, so how could I extort him? Someone must be spreading rumors, deliberately slandering me and ruining our relationship!

Do you dare swear it? Gu Xiaohui asked.

Why wouldn't I dare? Ma Junhao said against his own heart: Don't worry about others, knock on the door in the middle of the night and be calm. I, Ma Junhao sit upright and straight, as if there is a lie, when I was drinking mineral water at home, I choked to death by the mineral water. When I went out to ride a bicycle, I was hit by a big truck …

Alright, Gu Xiaohui quickly stopped him. You don't have to swear a venomous oath in front of me. I believe you can't do it, right?

Gu Xiaohui now completely believed in Ma Junhao. She didn't care if Ma Junhao drank mineral water at home or not, whether he would go out on a motorcycle or not, and thought that her mother wanted to stop Ma Junhao and her from being together.

Ma Junhao said with a bit of grievance: Since you believe me, then don't tell others about it. You actually said some unrealistic things, putting the sh * t bowl on my head and making me take the blame. Do you understand?

I got it, Gu Xiaohui said consolingly. Even if this matter is over, don't take it to heart, and don't hold it back. Walk your own path and let others talk about it. You should devote yourself to your work and try your best to achieve a good result by using actual actions to cover the mouths of those who despise you!

Okay, I will listen to you, Ma Junhao said confidently, I will definitely facilitate the development of the New Century City with Mr Lee, and contribute to the development of the company through my own meagre efforts!

Junhao, with these words of yours, I can rest assured, Gu Xiaohui consoled him. "Tonight, we were attacked by those criminals by the river. In order to protect me, you were injured by them, causing you to suffer.

For you, it's fine if I get hurt or even wronged. As long as you have me in your heart, I don't care about anything else! Ma Junhao vowed.

Thank you! Gu Xiaohui thanked him and said, You're injured. Have a good rest. See you tomorrow!

See you tomorrow! Ma Junhao answered and hung up.

After putting down the phone, Gu Xiaohui couldn't calm down for a long time. She couldn't figure out why her mother disliked Ma Junhao so much and why she had to stop them from being together.

In order to get him to leave Ma Junhao, his mother even made up such an absurd story to frame and slander him, using the excuse that Ma Junhao had once blackmailed his father.

He originally wanted to leave the room and go down to question his mother. However, he was afraid that his mother would make a ruckus, so in the future, it would be even more difficult to get along with Ma Junhao.

Suddenly feeling that his body was sticky, he stood up from the edge of the bed, grabbed a pair of pajamas, and prepared to bathe in the bathroom in his bedroom.

...

In the living room, Gu Xiaohui heard her mother talking about Ma Junhao extorting her father and quarreling with her mother about Ma Junhao. When she went upstairs to her bedroom in frustration, Mrs Gu was afraid that her daughter would be confused and something might happen to her, so she quietly followed them upstairs.

Mrs Gu twisted the door handle and found that her daughter had locked the bedroom door from the inside. She stuck her head to the door and eavesdropped, listening to the conversation between Gu Xiaohui and Ma Junhao clearly.

When she heard Ma Junhao persuade Gu Xiaohui to let go of her doubts with just a few words, she knew that Gu Xiaohui had fallen into a trap. Angry and anxious, she prepared to enter the house and give Gu Xiaohui a few more pointers, so she knocked on the door.

Du, du, du!

The sound of someone knocking on the door rang out.

Gu Xiaohui knew her mother was knocking on the door, so she went to the bedroom door and opened it.

When she saw her mother standing at the door, she remembered the conversation she had with Ma Junhao. She felt that her mother's behavior was a bit despicable, so she didn't want to waste time with her mother. She asked:

Mom, is there anything else?

Mrs Gu suppressed her anger and said, Xiaohui, I want to talk to you!

I'm tired and want to sleep. If you have anything to say, you can say it tomorrow! As soon as Gu Xiaohui finished speaking, she immediately closed the door and locked it from the inside.

Mrs Gu twisted the door handle with her hand and, seeing that the door could not be opened, stuck close to the door and said loudly:

Xiaohui, listen to me!

Don't say anything, I don't want to hear it. You go to bed early, I'm going to take a bath! Gu Xiaohui's voice came from the bedroom.

Not long later, the sound of flowing water could be heard from the bedroom.

Mrs Gu knew that Gu Xiaohui had already entered the bathroom to take a bath, so she could only sigh helplessly. She left Gu Xiaohui's bedroom and returned to her own.

CHAPTER 404 - STUPEFIED

When Wu Xu was on the phone with Suun Yan, he told him Gu Xiaohui's original words, calling him not only a good-for-nothing, but also a narrow-minded, boastful, vulgar man. He instantly blew his beard in anger.

However, on account of Gu Xiaohui's late father, Gu Yuming, Wu Xu patiently listened to Ma Xiaoli. While they were eating in the Violet Room, the restaurant of the Rong City International Hotel, Gold Tooth threw out the plan to invest $1.5 billion in the new New Century City project. Gold Tooth used the large cake as bait, and then started singing a song with Shen Ao to get Ma Junhao to take the bait. He was prepared to go through Liu Tie to persuade Gu Xiaohui and Gold Tooth to try to frame Wu Wei.

After her conversation with Suun Yan, Wu Xu felt that Gu Xiaohui had devoted herself to Ma Junhao, and was obedient to Ma Junhao, so she wouldn't listen to anyone who talked to her. Even if Suun Yan told her that Shen Ao and Gold Tooth had conspired through Ma Junhao to frame Gu Xiaohui, she wouldn't believe it was a good thing for her to let Ma Junhao beat her up and make her suffer.

It had become a habit for Wu Xu to be scolded as a loser by Gu Xiaohui. Since he had already divorced Gu Xiaohui, there was no need to care about how she felt about him and what she thought about him.

However, there was one thing Wu Xu had to insist on, which was if Gu Xiaohui wanted to win the bid for Rong City. Wang Hai tourism project as Ma Junhao's performance, let Ma Junhao in the company, that is impossible, if you want to win the project, then you must remove Ma Junhao's Gu's Group Corporation Vice Chairman, and kick him out of the company.

Suddenly, he remembered that after he moved out from Gu Xiaohui's home, he hadn't even returned the key to Gu Xiaohui's. Thus, he decided to go back to Gu Xiaohui's house and place the key on the tea table in her living room. It would be best if he could meet with Gu Xiaohui at home and personally hand over the [Rong City]. Wang Hai's project, as well as the fact that Shen Ao and Gold Tooth were prepared to use Ma Junhao to frame her, were explained to her clearly.

Therefore, he said to Ma Zhong, Brother Ma, I still have something to do. I'm going back to the place where I used to live. You drive me there!

Alright! Ma Zhong understood Wu Xu's thoughts and his mood. He immediately started the car and drove in the direction of Gu Xiaohui's home.

Earlier, Ma Zhong clearly heard the conversation between Wu Xu and Suun Yan, and he also knew what Gu Xiaohui thought of Wu Xu. Gu Xiaohui's heart was a little indignant towards Wu Xu.

On the way to Gu Xiaohui's home, Ma Zhong finally couldn't hold it in anymore, and asked Wu Xu: President Wu, do you really plan to turn over the project of Rong City Gazing the Sea to the Gu's Group Corporation for construction?

When I was designing and designing the project and obtained the project's issuing right from the Rong City Industry Corporation, I had this plan. I never thought that Gu Xiaohui would actually want to use this project as Ma Junhao's company's name and become his performance, Wu Xu said honestly and then asked Ma Zhong, If Gu Xiaohui insists on doing this, do you think I can give it to them?

Ma Zhong said with certainty, Of course not. You can't be the dowry for that brat, Ma Junhao. You can't pave the way for him and give all the credit to him …

Then what do you think I should do? Wu Xu asked gloomily.

Ma Zhong replied, To Gu Xiaohui, you are already doing your best. Since Gu Xiaohui insisted on not understanding and did not appreciate your kindness, you have no need and no obligation to comply with her.

But, I can't just watch as Gu Xiaohui falls for the trap set by Shen Ao and the rest, fall for their trap, and let the Gu's Group company fall into her hands. Wu Xu felt indignant.

Gu Xiaohui is currently unrepentant, she will listen to whatever that brat Ma Junhao says. Even if you do your best to persuade her, she won't listen to you at all, even if you do your best to help her, she won't accept your kind intentions. On the contrary, she will even think that you are provoking the relationship between her and Ma Junhao, intentionally framing them and blocking their path to wealth.

Wu Xu felt that Ma Zhong's words made sense, so he stopped talking.

He decided to have others secretly observe Gold Tooth's movements. If there was any trouble, that guy would do something that would harm the interests of Gu's Group company before coming forward to stop it.

As Ma Zhong had once lived with factory manager Zhang and others, they drove home with Wu Xu to get their ID card. They didn't need Wu Xu to guide them and quickly drove into the neighborhood where Wu Xu had lived and parked under Gu Xiaohui's house.

After Ma Zhong parked the car, he said to Wu Xu, President Wu, go upstairs and do something. I'll wait for you in the car!

Alright! Wu Xu nodded. He opened the car door and got out. He walked straight to the elevator on the first floor and took the elevator up to Gu Xiaohui's house.

When he took the key out of his pocket to open the door and pushed it open, he was startled to find that the light in the living room was on.

Could it be that after our divorce, Gu Xiaohui didn't stay in her mother's house, but moved here instead? Wu Xu was a bit puzzled.

With these doubts, Wu Xu walked into the room, closed the door gently, and went into the living room. The sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom in Gu Xiaohui's master bedroom.

Could it be that Gu Xiaohui is bathing inside? Driven by curiosity, Wu Xu tiptoed to the door of Gu Xiaohui's master bedroom.

Both the master bedroom and the bathroom door were open.

Wu Xu immediately saw a tall woman with a tall figure standing under the shower in the bathroom, using a column of hot water to wash her white skin.

Ya, why is it her? Wu Xu's heart tightened and he suddenly became stupefied. He couldn't help but look at the woman in front of him.

The woman in the bath was stunned by the sudden turn of events. She was stunned for a moment, then let out an Ah! and let out a shriek.

When she saw Wu Xu standing dumbly in front of the bathroom door, her face suddenly turned red. She grabbed a towel from the sink and quickly surrounded herself.

Then, she tried her best to control her emotions and asked, Wu … Wu Xu, you... When did you come back …"

I... I …" Wu Xu was about to explain when the woman took a big step forward and closed the bathroom door.

Wu Xu calmed down and realized that he had lost his composure.

He recalled the scene when he stood at the door of the master bedroom and saw the woman bathing. His face immediately flushed red as he hurriedly turned around. He pretended to be calm as he walked to the sofa in the living room and turned on the TV with the remote control …

CHAPTER 405 - LAX PREVENTION

The woman bathing in the bathroom was Ye Ping. Ye Ping moved here tonight after Gu Xiaohui let her stay here and gave her the key to the bathroom.

Ye Ping was mainly negligent. When she went into the bathroom to take a bath, she forgot to close the door. After that, Wu Xu, who was standing in front of the bedroom door, looked at her.

In order to not let Wu Xu touch her, Gu Xiaohui always dressed conservatively and rarely communicated with Wu Xu, often leaving early and returning late. Most of them went into her master bedroom as soon as they entered, and once they entered the bedroom, she immediately locked the door from the inside, not to mention opening the bathroom door for Wu Xu to peek at her, giving Wu Xu an opportunity to take advantage of her.

Wu Xu felt that Ye Ping was a carefree woman who didn't care about the details when he thought of the little things that happened between him and Gu Xiaohui.

Although Wu Xu's eyes landed on the TV screen, the scene of Ye Ping standing under the shower kept flashing in his mind. He could no longer calm down.

Why would Ye Ping live here? How come she doesn't have any awareness of being on guard? She doesn't even close the door when she takes a bath. What if she meets a bad person?" Wu Xu thought.

Brother Xu, when did you come back? Just as Wu Xu was thinking about Ye Ping, Ye Ping's sweet voice came from the bedroom door.

Wu Xu looked over and saw that Ye Ping had already finished her shower and walked out of the bedroom as if she was at home with a towel in her hand and a nightgown on.

The thin pajamas outlined a beautiful figure, and her long, slender legs were exposed outside the pajamas, like a lotus blooming in the water.

Ye Ping saw Wu Xu sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV as if she was at home. She wiped her hair that was still dripping with water from the shower with a towel as she walked over to Wu Xu.

A faint smell of shampoo emitted from Ye Ping's body and entered Wu Xu's nostrils.

Wu Xu Dong had the urge to bleed from his nose. Recalling the scene when he accidentally bumped into Ye Ping in the bathroom, he felt a little awkward. He hurriedly explained:

Ye Ping, I'm sorry, I …

Ye Ping looked at him with a smile, as if she was suffering from amnesia. She asked,

Brother Xu, what did you do just now?

I... I shouldn't have …" Wu Xu said hesitantly.

What should I not do? Ye Ping chuckled.

I shouldn't have peeked at you … Wu Xu answered.

Do you often peek at other women? Ye Ping asked with slight interest.

No, Wu Xu shook his head and hurriedly defended himself: I … This is the first time I've seen it …

Puchi! Seeing that Wu Xu was embarrassed, Ye Ping couldn't help but laugh. She teased him, It's fine, it's fine. Don't be embarrassed to admit it …

Wu Xu explained, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to …

I know you didn't do it on purpose, Ye Pingfeng walked up to Wu Xu like a lotus leaf and said softly, Brother Xu, I'm sorry, it should be me!

Why? Wu Xu asked in confusion.

Because this is your home, Ye Ping explained. I've taken over your home...

No, Wu Xu said gloomily, Before I married Gu Xiaohui, her parents spent money to buy this house. It belongs to Gu Xiaohui. Now that I have divorced Gu Xiaohui, this is no longer my home …

Speaking to there, Wu Xu suddenly thought of something and could not help but ask: Oh right, why do you live here? You have the key to this house?

It was Gu Xiaohui who gave me the key to live here, Ye Ping replied. Gu Xiaohui told me that after your divorce, you would rather go out clean than accept her charity. You insisted on moving away from here, so I ended up living here …

Oh, so that's the case … Wu Xu acted like he suddenly understood something.

The night before yesterday, when Ye Ping was treating Wu Xu to dinner in a booth in the Pacific Hotel Restaurant, Shen Ao led Hou Yong and two bodyguards to find trouble with them.

When Wu Xu was in conflict with them, fortunately Ma Zhong appeared in time to subdue Shen Ao and the other three with Wu Xu. Otherwise, Ye Ping and Wu Xu would have suffered a great loss.

After the meal, Wu Xu, Ma Zhong, and Ye Ping left the restaurant and went downstairs together in the elevator.

When they walked out of the hall on the first floor of Pacific Hotel, Ye Ping suggested to go with Wu Xu to see his new house, but Wu Xu rejected her request as he still had things to do.

In desperation, Ye Ping could only take a taxi home from Pacific Hotel entrance.

Ye Ping was always brooding over this matter, so she sat down next to Wu Xu and said half-jokingly, Brother Xu, the night before yesterday, you didn't let me go with you to see your new house. You're not going to rent a house, are you?

Why do you say that? Wu Xu asked with a frown.

I know you're a man who would rather die than lose face and suffer. You said that you bought a house outside because you were lying to Gu Xiaohui. In reality, you're just renting a house outside, right? Ye Ping.

No, actually … Wu Xu shook his head. Suddenly, he remembered that he spent 800 thousand yuan to buy that villa in the harbor's garden, and it was Zhang Mengmeng who secretly stuffed 5 million yuan into the villa before buying it. She spent a total of 5.8 million yuan to buy that villa, so he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Brother Xu, don't explain yourself, Ye Ping said in a delicate voice, If you're not satisfied with the place you moved to, then move back. After all, I'm living alone in your house. After you move back, we can take care of each other …

Ye Ping thought about that night when she met Wu Xu in the Blue Sky Club Hall; about how she invited Wu Xu to a private room to drink because of the noise in the hall; about how they were all in a bad mood and drank a little too much together; about how she felt dizzy so she laid her head on Wu Xu's thigh and lay on the sofa on her back. When Wu Xu took the opportunity to hug her, she felt a ripple in her heart.

Thus, she dived into Wu Xu's arms.

Ye Ping, what are you doing? No, we can't do this, we really can't …" Wu Xu's body stiffened as he instinctively pushed her away. Then, he moved his butt a bit to distance himself from her.

A strange aura suffused the living room.

Under the gentle light, Ye Ping's rosy face emitted an enchanting luster. An intoxicating fragrance exuded from her body, causing Wu Xu to feel a little dazed.

Ye Ping took the opportunity to confess to Wu Xu, Liu Tie, during your and Gu Xiaohui's wedding, from the first time I saw you, I had fallen for you. I know you have Gu Xiaohui in your heart, but the man Gu Xiaohui loves is Ma Junhao. In order to be with Ma Junhao, she divorced you. You are free now, we are all free, we …

Ye Ping wanted to say something, but she hesitated. Seeing that Wu Xu didn't say anything, she mistakenly thought that he had accepted her and jumped into his embrace once again …

CHAPTER 406 - BRUSHSTROKE

Ring, ring, ring!

A rapid ringtone sounded from Wu Xu's pocket.

Wu Xu's heart skipped a beat and his body quivered. He immediately pushed Ye Ping away.

Ye Ping felt a little disappointed and embarrassed after being pushed to the side by Wu Xu. Her face was as red as a red apple as she looked at him blankly.

Wu Xu took out his cell phone from his pocket and saw that Zhang Mengmeng's name and cell phone number were displayed on the P30 phone screen that she gave him.

Thus, he glanced at Ye Ping and made a gesture for her to be quiet. Then, he picked up the phone and asked:

Mengmeng, what's the matter?

"Brother Xu, where did you and Mr Ma
