Chapter 259: Chapter 251: Why Is the Boss So Worried About One Person? (2)
So when that person spoke, the reporters roughly understood what was going on.
The reporters couldn’t help but mentally count the number of "green hats" on someone’s head.
After that person finished speaking, Rong Mochen paused for a long while and then slowly said, "Although Lingyi has been studying abroad for a long time, and she’s a bit young and lively, she’s not a bad girl."
When Rong Mochen said this, the reporters felt nothing but sympathy.
Everyone probably thought that Rong Mochen said this just to save face.
Maybe deep down, he wished he could kill Gu Lingyi!
"I also heard that while studying abroad, Miss Gu openly drove on a campus where it was strictly prohibited, and after injuring a fellow student, she not only didn’t apologize but also insulted the student with money. The student got so angry that they took Miss Gu to court. Later, I heard it was Miss Gu’s mother who negotiated multiple times to keep her out of jail. Miss Gu has a really lively personality!" the person added.
The reporters were astonished: Who on earth is this, to know so much?
If they had known earlier about the colorful exploits of the Gu family’s eldest daughter, they would have gone abroad to dig up news long ago, instead of waiting until now.
"Moreover, Miss Gu’s love history is also quite colorful." The person abruptly revealed more information.
The reporters felt regretful yet couldn’t help but marvel.
"It’s said that Miss Gu has no fewer than..."
"Since this gentleman knows so much, why not come on stage, and I’ll give you my spot so you can speak at length," Rong Mochen said coldly, his indifferent expression growing even more aloof.
The reporters held their breath, bowing their heads slightly.
But they all understood clearly that this person’s words had likely angered him.
On an occasion like today, the words spoken were almost said in front of the entire population of the city.
What man can tolerate such a scandal being exposed in public, especially someone as decisive as Rong Mochen?
Isn’t face more important than anything?
All the reporters felt that this person was seeking to be banned by exposing such things without regard for the occasion!
The entire venue remained silent for a few seconds before Rong Mochen, with a cold face, stood up, "Today’s press conference ends here."
After saying this, Rong Mochen left the conference site.
As soon as he left, the reporters became restless, searching everywhere for the "reckless fellow" to get more inside information.
Meanwhile, standing in front of the TV, Jin Jumo watched Rong Mochen’s straight back as he left the press conference, her eyes deep and desolate.
"Boss Rong is really too cunning." Gu Yan cautiously glanced at Jin Jumo’s expression and said awkwardly.
Jin Jumo frowned and looked at Gu Yan, "Isn’t he afraid of becoming a laughingstock among those in the business world by doing this?"
"Who is Boss Rong anyway? When have you ever seen him afraid of anything..."
After a pause, Gu Yan suddenly looked seriously at Jin Jumo, "But now, Boss Rong indeed has something he’s afraid of, and that is, very much afraid."
Jin Jumo was puzzled, "What?"
Gu Yan pursed his lips, "What Boss Rong fears most now is you ignoring him."
"..." Jin Jumo’s breathing lightly trembled, her long lashes fluttering slightly as she murmured, "He’s afraid?"
"Yes!" Gu Yan said solemnly.
Jin Jumo fell silent.
Seeing Jin Jumo not speaking, Gu Yan was momentarily unsure what she was thinking, took two large strides toward her, and said earnestly with his baby face, "Little Momo, I’ve never seen Boss Rong so nervous about someone, except you. Four years ago, Boss Rong witnessed you having an accident, perhaps you, perhaps all of us, cannot imagine, and simultaneously cannot empathize with his pain at that time. But I feel that the torment Boss Rong has endured these four years has been enough."
Jin Jumo lowered her eyes, her voice very soft, "Gu Yan, you don’t understand..."
"Yes, I don’t understand. I don’t understand you, nor do I understand Boss Rong. But Little Momo, you lost the closest family member, and Boss Rong also lost the one he loved the most. You can resent those who caused the eternal separation between you and Mr. Jin without restraint, expressing your pain, anger, and hatred without concealment.
But what about Boss Rong? You didn’t die, yet you refused to let him know, you hid, and he fell into a deep abyss of pain from which he couldn’t extricate himself. Even knowing you were alive, has Boss Rong ever resented you, has he ever revealed to you the suffering he’s endured all these years?
You repeatedly pushed him away, heartlessly and ruthlessly, even being with others. Little Momo, have you thought about Boss Rong’s feelings?
In S City, Boss Rong spent countless sleepless nights, waiting downstairs by your building, didn’t he have even a bit of fear in his heart? Afraid your reappearance was just a dream, afraid all hope would be dashed, afraid..."
"Gu Yan, stop talking." Jin Jumo’s eyes reddened, her voice uncontrollably trembling slightly.
Gu Yan clenched his fists, "Afraid you’d disappear again, that’s why Boss Rong waited downstairs all night."
Jin Jumo’s eyes filled with a stinging sensation, her fingertips frantically pressed the corners of her eyes, holding back tears, staring at Gu Yan, she said in a low voice, "Is it my fault?"
Gu Yan looked into Jin Jumo’s eyes flushed with moisture, his baby face showing a flustered expression, "Little Momo, don’t cry, I actually didn’t mean to blame you, I was just, just anxious for Boss Rong..."
Jin Jumo’s mouth curled into a bitter smile, "If it weren’t a desperate situation, who’s willing to be a living dead?"
Gu Yan felt a tremor in his heart, staring at Jin Jumo’s pale face, his throat seemed blocked by a large stone, unable to say a word.
The news of Rong Mochen personally holding a press conference to break off his engagement with Gu Lingyi quickly caused a sensation in Z City.
The entire city, in every corner, was discussing the news of Rong Mochen and Gu Lingyi’s brief engagement and rapid cancellation of the engagement.
Now, the front of Rong’s Building was still surrounded by a dense throng of reporters.
Newspapers and magazines were all buzzing with the news.
In the executive office at Rong Group.
Gu Yan walked into the office with a dejected face, standing silently in the middle, like a statue.
It’s been a while.
Rong Mochen shifted his gaze from the computer screen, looked up at Gu Yan with a clear and cool gaze, and said in a light voice, "Got bullied by Nan Qing and the others again?"
Gu Yan shook his head.
Rong Mochen frowned, leaned back slightly in his chair, and stared at Gu Yan, "Did Aunt Gu arrange a blind date for you?"
Gu Yan sighed and glanced at Rong Mochen.
Rong Mochen pursed his lips, tapped his long fingers, "I’m in a good mood today, don’t make me use force."
Gu Yan, "..."
The whole city thought he had been cuckolded, how good could his mood really be?
Rong Mochen raised an eyebrow and suddenly stood up from his seat.
At 1.9 meters tall, he stood in front of the desk, making it instantly seem half its usual size.
Gu Yan felt a chill at the tip of his heart and quickly waved his hand, "Boss Rong, let’s talk this out."
Rong Mochen squinted, "It’s always best to talk it out."
Gu Yan thought that even if he talked, he probably wouldn’t avoid a beating.
With his calves trembling, Gu Yan slowly took a few steps back, too guilty to meet Rong Mochen’s deep eyes, "Boss Rong, if I say it, can you promise not to use force?"
"Mm." Rong Mochen casually responded.
Gu Yan didn’t relax even a bit because of his words.
Because he knew well that the person in front of him was not someone like those others who kept their word, his words were as trustworthy as fart and could basically be ignored.
Gu Yan took two more steps back and stammered, "I, I today, made... Little Mo Mo cry!"
Gu Yan quickly finished the last few words, turned around, and ran to the door, clinging tightly to the door, warily staring at the certain someone whose face went completely dark after he finished speaking, "Boss, Boss Rong, we agreed beforehand, no, no using force!"
At this moment, Rong Mochen seemed particularly calm, with no hint of violence, looking at Gu Yan, "How did you make her cry?"
Gu Yan stared at him for a while, making sure he wouldn’t rush over to hit him, then recounted what he’d said to Jin Jumo.
After Rong Mochen listened, his eyes also darkened when looking at Gu Yan, "Is there more?"
Gu Yan shook his head firmly, "That’s all!"
That’s all...
Rong Mochen nodded, slowly walked around the desk, and said to Gu Yan, who was about to escape from the office, "No force, I have something serious to discuss with you."
Gu Yan paused his escaping action, looked at Rong Mochen with suspicion, "What is it?"
"Come over and sit down to talk." Rong Mochen sat on the sofa, looking at Gu Yan with dark eyes that were incredibly gentle.
Gu Yan swallowed, "Why do I feel like there’s a trap?"
Rong Mochen frowned, "I promised not to use force, and I won’t. When have I ever lied to you?"
"..." Ha-ha.
Gu Yan forced a smile, muttering softly, "Not often, huh?"
"What did you say?" Rong Mochen raised an eyebrow.
Gu Yan licked his lips, shaking his head, "Nothing, nothing."
Rong Mochen looked at him, "Hurry up and come over."
Gu Yan uncertainly asked, "Boss Rong, you’re really not going to trick me into coming over and then beat me up?"
"How could I do such a thing?" Rong Mochen frowned.
Gu Yan snorted again.
"Hurry!" Rong Mochen urged.
Gu Yan saw how serious he was and had some faith that there was indeed something to discuss, so he walked over somewhat hesitantly.
But as soon as he was halfway there.
The man firmly sitting on the sofa suddenly leaped up with the swiftness of a wild leopard, pounced over toward him.
Gu Yan was so frightened that he forgot to even run, and was grabbed firmly by someone’s claw.
For nearly half an hour, Gu Yan’s cries of "ouch" filled the entire office.
After a brutal session, Gu Yan lay sprawled on the office floor.
Apart from his clothes being heavily wrinkled, there wasn’t a trace of violence to be seen.
But only Gu Yan knew just how much he was in pain right now!
Boss Rong from his family knew exactly where to hit the hardest, yet left no trace.
Being beaten almost to a pulp, it wasn’t convincing at all to say he got beat up by someone!
Rong Mochen casually straightened his suit and didn’t even glance at Gu Yan on the floor, "If you don’t want me to tell Aunt Gu that you like men, don’t make her cry again!"
