Gu Juexi’s voice was not loud, but a cold aura spread through the hall.
The hall was suddenly silent except for the echo of his voice.
Gu Juexi came down from the lounge that was located above the hall with Mr. Qian, Mrs. Qian, and Ye Yuwei alongside him.
PA Wen heaved a sigh of relief. Xiao Yaojing could feel that his palms were sweating.
The attendees stared at Gu Juexi in bewilderment. He tidied up his sleeves as he was walking down the stairs, his face rigid and expressionless.
“Who let her in? Get her out this instant!” Mr. Qian bellowed angrily, slamming his cane on the floor.
The woman’s face turned pale and she trembled in fear. Her date harshly pushed her away from him and looked at Gu Juexi with a wide smile. “Mr. Gu, I don’t know this woman, I really don’t.”
The woman’s legs went weak and she dropped to the ground helplessly. She never thought Gu Juexi would really show up.
The guards stormed in and grabbed the woman. She wailed pitifully as if to call out the people who had said the same thing earlier, but no one was dumb enough to admit their mistake.
Qiao Yi cast a nefarious stare at Gu Juexi.
Gu Juexi looked back at him, his lips curled upwards.
On the contrary, Ye Yuwei felt guilty. She was certain that Qiao Yi was the man she met the other night.
“It’s a mistake, I hope you don’t mind,” a man rushed in and remarked with an apologetic smile. He held his hand out to Gu Juexi. “Mr. Gu, I am very sorry, I had some business to tend to at the office so please forgive me for being late. Aunt had called me earlier to inform me about your arrival with your missus in the morning, I’m sorry for not being able to rush back in time.”
The man was Mu Dong, the successor of Qian Feng Enterprise. He looked modest, handsome and smart.
Gu Juexi shook his hand and scanned the audience who were dead silent.
Xiao Yaojing leaned on PA Wen’s shoulder and whispered, “Did he plan his Skyfall trick to scare everyone?”
“CEO likes to do this kind of thing,” PA Wen smiled and said casually.
Qian Feng made an official announcement that Mu Dong succeeded as the CEO of the company, and handed the venue over to Mu Dong.
Mrs. Qian held on to Ye Yuwei’s hands tenderly. “Please come over for a visit when you are free, bring the kids with you too.”
“I will,” Ye Yuwei replied politely. Gu Juexi walked up to her and hugged her waist.
The qipao that Ye Yuwei was wearing was a gift from Mrs. Qian. The qipao was originally designed for her future daughter-in-law, but it was kept in the closet for a very long time.
Ironically, the dress was a perfect fit for Ye Yuwei.
Of course, she did not dare tell Gu Juexi the truth about the qipao or he would have forbid her from wearing it.
After seeing Mr. and Mrs. Qian off, Gu Juexi returned his attention to Qiao Yi.
Qiao Yi had just ordered his secretary to stop Sun from the buy-in. Gu Juexi chose the perfect time to appear and it certainly deserved a big round of applause.
“Mr. Gu, your name precedes you.” Qiao Yi swirled his glass, his lips curved into a slightly mocking smile.
Gu Juexi embraced Ye Yuwei’s waist with one hand, but she looked down at the floor instead, refusing to meet Qiao Yi’s gaze.
“Mr. Qiao, I want to thank you for what you did in Shennongjia. If not for you, my wife wouldn’t be standing here by my side today,” Gu Juexi said, looking at Ye Yuwei, “Didn’t you want to find the person who saved you the other night? Here he is. What are you waiting for? Say thank you.”
