Chapter 3777 - A New Addition (393)

Chu He's cell phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the screen. It was Gu Jinglian.

The moment she picked up the call, Gu Jinglian said sullenly, "Come and make payment for me."

"Didn't you bring any money with you?"

"No." He never had the habit of carrying cash around.

Chu He chuckled, "Then… what about your WeChat? Or Alipay?"

"I don't use these things."

Chu He was disgusted. This guy was so outdated. What era was this? Although she had only learned it recently.

As Chu He got onto her feet, Aixue immediately said, "I'll come and pay!"

"No it's okay. I can do that."

Chu He got up and made her way to the front desk. Gu Jinglian's tall frame could be seen next to the front desk, while the waiter standing by the side was trembling in fear. He was obviously intimidated by the man's aura.

What a terrifying man. His presence was so strong.

After Chu He paid the bill, Gu Jinglian demanded, "Get me a room."

"Sir, we do not provide private rooms to groups of less than five people. If you wish to have a private room for yourself, you'll have to pay for it, it's four hundred yuan."

Gu Jinglian was silent for a moment before he glanced at Chu He." Do you have money on you?"

"Not so much…" Usually, when she went out, there would be people with her who would handle any payments. She also did not have the habit of carrying red packets with her. Even the money in WeChat was won from the group chat.

Having no other choice, Chu He finally said, "You can come with me to our private room."

When Gu Jinglian heard this, he was finally satisfied.

As Gu Jinglian entered the private room with Chu He, the women were whispering among themselves. However, when they saw the door open and Gu Jinglian walking in with Chu He, everyone was stunned.

"…"

What a handsome man! His aura was extremely intimidating! Not only was he handsome, his good looks were unearthly. For a moment, they were at a loss for words to describe him.

She did not know who brought it up, but Aixue seemed to have mentioned that Gu Jinglian looked a little similar to Gu Xingze. Could it be that they were related in some way?!

They indeed looked quite similar! Especially their eyebrows, they looked 80% alike.

"Gu Xingze…" Someone mentioned the name.

Gu Jinglian heard it and swept a cold glance over. He frowned. "What did you say?"

"Oh, oh, nothing…" The woman's face flushed with embarrassment and she immediately said, "I… I used to like a male celebrity called Gu Xingze. I realized that you look quite similar to him!"

Gu Jinglian's eyes darkened. "You're not allowed to mention his name!"

The name Gu Xingze was taboo in the Gu family.

In reality, no one knew that Gu Xingze's name was a taboo to Gu Jinglian because of the guilt and self-reproach he felt deep down.

Initially, Gu Jinglian rejected this younger brother of his. However, later on, when he realized that Gu Xingze never had the intention of competing with him for the power seat of the Gu family, he gradually let down his guard against him.

THe fact was, as an illegitimate child, Gu Xingze did not do anything wrong. It was just that he was once a thorn in the flesh for Gu Jinglian because Gu Jinglian did not want the power of the Gu family to fall into the hands of an illegitimate child.

Later on, Gu Jinglian no longer held any grudges against Gu Xingze. Except that he had not been able to come to terms with Gu Xingze's death.

He didn't deserve to die.

If he had insisted on sending him to the airport back then, this wouldn't have happened.

That day, as he stood in the mortuary looking at Gu Jinglian who was lying on the trolley bed, covered in injuries, his heart bled.
