"There's something I want to talk to you about, is that convenient?"

Gu Jinchi looked at her, his hand still clutching her wrist tightly, and although he used a pleading tone and eyes, his attitude was firm and unquestionable.

He was tempted to say it was inconvenient, but Ze was still here.

"Go talk on the other side." She raised her chin and pointed to the distance, following Gu Jinchi to the corner of the parking lot.

"Say it." She shrugged it off and looked at him faintly.

Gu Jinchi's brow was slightly furrowed as he opened his mouth to explain, "Don't misunderstand today's matter, I didn't expect him to set the place here, and originally I just wanted to go through the motions and have dinner."

"I know it's been said once." She moved her wrists to dissipate the aches and pains, "But I think you should figure out now that we're now in the ex-husband-ex-wife relationship."

"Even if Zee calls me mommy and you daddy, there isn't really any other relationship between the two of us, other than Zee, so feel free to do whatever you want, you don't even need to report it to me."

There were times when she just hated that about Gu Jinchi.

Even though it was clear now, he still subconsciously reported things to her between some unclear distance.

Reporting things to her that were now out of his jurisdiction was more likely to make her feel bad about them.

It was as if every word reminded her of what kind of relationship they had only seen originally and how complicated such a relationship was now.

Only in front of Su Qinglan could he reveal a side that had a wealth of emotions, but for the two people now, it wasn't a sure thing, it was a double-edged sword.

All that gloom, he didn't hide it, and his hand clenched and unclenched unnaturally, "Can you stop being so cold to me?"

"I know you don't want to say anything more to me right now, and if you can, you've already said hello before. But I want to ask you, can't you start over after it's ended once?"

Starting over?

This sentence was like a joke, causing Su Qinglan to freeze for a moment before laughing somewhat sarcastically, "What is your definition of starting over?"

"Just don't feel hopeful so you're going to call him two boats and leave yourself a backup option?"

Yeah, she could admit that he just cared a lot about Toki Rui's existence.

But where Gu Jinchi had ever had the slightest bit of, wanting to break the ice with him again, he probably wouldn't have accepted letting Shirui live in the Gu family.

But he did, and not only did he do it, he chose to deceive him and tell more lies in more things that happened later.

"Qinglan." Gu Jinchi looked at him for a long time in silence, his emotions intricately reflected from his dark eyes.

"I don't have any feelings for him, if it wasn't for the abundance of the family, I wouldn't have let her live in the Gu family for the time she was there. I basically didn't have much contact with him, and then I was with you all the time."

"I've got a lot of body parts, can you give me a little more time and trust me one last time."

She has heard and felt such words as not being able to help herself, and the time when she was Mrs. Gu was especially clear.

"Is there anything about you that I can trust?"

She had believed in him, and had believed in him many times, but all of them had turned out to be so unsatisfactory.

It wasn't that she didn't want to trust him, it was just that she really wasn't sure if she could trust him anymore.

"It's getting late, and if there's nothing else, we should get back." She couldn't wait to end the melodramatic and uncomfortable conversation that had been going on inside her.

"I'm sorry."

His thin lips opened, "Don't worry this time, I won't let you down again."

A few short words seared into her heart again.

She closed her eyes and let out a long breath, not daring to make any further reply as she turned away.

Unbeknownst to her, Gu Jinchi behind her was watching her until they got into the car and drove away from the parking lot.

Back home, Ji Qingyue accompanied Xiao Ze to play madly for a while, knowing that after he fell asleep. Only then did the two of them lie side by side on the bed and put on a face mask together.

"Confess from leniency, resist from severity, just now in the parking lot, what did he say to you again?" Ji Qingyue played with her cell phone with a gossipy face.

Su Qinglan, on the other hand, had been resting her mind with her eyes closed, just now in the parking lot, the words that Gu Jinchi had spoken out were like some magic spell that still haunted her ears even now, and her mood, surprisingly, had improved a little, a few words suddenly made her mood elevate a little higher again from a low place.

She was silent, "Trade secrets, don't pry."

"What business secrets ah? Now Ji Qingyue is her Gu's person, and you're not. The two of you can still purposely be inside the parking lot, you and I, chatting about some business events, then he's a person who really doesn't know too much about wind and snow."

Ji Qingyue tsked several times in a row.

"I'm serious, I think the two of them are looking for you to explain something to you, so what about your attitude? Did you forgive him so easily?"

She couldn't help but want to heartily praise Ji Qingyue for really anticipating things like a god, that she could even guess these things.

But on the point of guessing her, she was wrong.

"You can stop letting your gossiping soul burn, think about the company first, there's a tricky project coming up for the company in a few days." He deliberately digressed.

Ji Qingyue was obviously a bit disdainful of this behavior, "Just net think about diverting my attention, when the time comes that there's something you're able to discuss with your good sister isn't it still just me?"

"Other than at work, there's really nothing I can't get through." Su Qinglan shook her head, "Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble, I've already thought it through."

"Think clearly what to say to hear see that program has nothing to do with me, I do not participate." Ji Qingyue did it again, mentally rolling over and propping her head up to look at her.

Su Qinglan smiled helplessly, "This is a secret."

"You're not being righteous, there's still a secret to be kept between you and me." Ji Qingyue put on a hurt expression and shook her head.

...

The next morning, in order for Ji Qing Yue not to be late, she was already considered the earliest day at work in a short period of time, but by the time she got to the office, Vivian was already waiting there.

"What's going on, you're here so early today and you're still here, did your office get ransacked? "She put down what she was holding and looked at Vivian a little strangely.

Vivian was holding a few files in her hand and looked at her with a stony face, "What happened to all the files you did yesterday?"

"What's going on? Didn't I already have your assistant hand it over to you?" At this instant, Su Qinglan also froze, how did it sound as if something had gone wrong with the documents.

Vivian frowned a little bitterly, " If you can't remember, take a good look at these yourself."

She put the pile of papers all over the table and compared it to the number of papers she had brought in yesterday that had been done by her. It was almost as if it had been brought back as it was.

Her words also made Su Qinglan realize that something was wrong, her actions were no longer leisurely, and she tightly distinguished those documents.

So said her expression froze on her face after I flipped through a few of the important ones. Eyes widened, "I didn't make these, and even though I made these files yesterday, none of the values on them are correct."

"And I was preparing another document to illustrate these, but how did that document disappear?"

When it came down to it, what had happened was more than clear to the two of them, but they both knew it by heart when they looked at each other.

"That's all the paperwork that was handed over, and it was copied to the board and the executives last night, and by now it should have all been gone over."

Vivian's face was serious to the point of grimness.

"Do you have any more backups there?"

While talking, Su Qinglan had long since opened up, the computer looking through the history files for a backup of the several documents made yesterday.

But the trouble was that her computer seemed to have been tampered with by someone, and the files related to yesterday, even the records, were gone.

The nerve to get on her computer.

Her brow furrowed as she tapped her fingers on the keyboard, all so fast they left a residue that made it hard to see, and soon found a record of the computer having been opened last night.

"My computer was turned on at 1:00 a.m. Go off surveillance and find out exactly who was in and out of the office at that hour."

If there is someone who must compete in bad faith, they will have to catch her in the act to make up for the loss.

But after this was said, both of them were silent, since they were able to sneak into her office and delete all the files on it, how could they not be wary of cameras.

Prudent, they still went to the surveillance room to investigate the record, so they did not expect, in the end, or overestimated the opponent, the surveillance video clearly captured, at three o'clock yesterday evening, there is a suspicious black shadow into the Su Qinglan office image.

Su Qinglan gave a sigh of relief, as long as there was surveillance, this matter would be much better.

The police can be used to find out the exact height and size of that person, and even be able to identify the gender, which can be localized after extensive screening.

And the man found her office with such skillful movements that he clearly knew where it was, obviously someone who was very familiar with the internal geographic location.

It may even be directly their own.

Her heart stuttered when she thought about all the paperwork being handed over.

"Is that new assistant of yours really credible?"

The question silenced Vivian inevitably, "That girl was transferred from the board, as a daughter who knows what she's doing, she shouldn't be doing something stupid like that, should she?"

Hearing her say that, Su Qinglan couldn't help but sneer, "I think you and I both know very well that it doesn't matter what the motive is for being able to do these things anymore."
