Chapter 5 Remember Now
Three days later at the Gong's residence.
The large study room on the second floor was furnished in a modest luxury European style. The black overtone gave off a calm, quiet vibe.
Liang Hanyu was harping on and on in front of the windows.
“Those old fogeys sure know how to please you. They were probably furious at the sight of your return, yet they went ahead to organize such a grand welcoming ceremony for you.”
Gong Hao paid no attention to him. He held a cigarette between his long, slender fingers, the flame glinted at the end of the cigarette.
He waited for Liang Hanyu to finish his rant before asking, “Have you found the person?”
Liang Hanyu looked at him innocently, “You can't blame me. That area's under development now. There's no trace of any CCTV.”
Just then, a servant knocked at the door. “Mr. Hao, everything's ready. Your father wants you to head downstairs.”
“Got it.”
...
Outside the Gong's residence, Qiao Yuqi stood stiffly and stared blankly at the ground.
She looked stunningly fair in a red off-shoulder evening dress. The red dress accentuated her good looks and figure.
Mo Jingwen nodded satisfactorily, and warned in a low voice, “It's a grand occasion today, so you'd better behave. Otherwise, you're going to get it from me.”
He grabbed Qiao Yuqi's arm and headed straight into the Gong's residence.
Everyone loves a beauty. As soon as they stepped into the residence, all eyes fell on Qiao Yuqi. Mo Jingwen enjoyed this moment. He enjoyed seeing the envy and jealousy in other men's eyes. He held Qiao Yuqi closer to him.
Gong Hao saw the scene just as he came down, and stopped in his tracks.
“What are you looking at?” Liang Hanyu asked.
“Who's that?”
Liang Hanyu followed Gong Hao's gaze and spotted the beauty dressed in red. “Tsk, what a beauty. How could I not know her? Though I do know the man beside her. He's Mo Jingwen, head of Huiteng Group, run by the Mo family. I heard he's quite capable for his age. The business has grown a lot under him...”
Gong Hao didn't utter a word. Once again, his eyes fell on that woman.
He remembered the feelings he felt as her delicate hands lingered brazenly on his body.
Although he was severely injured that night, that woman managed to ignite the fire within him. It was hard to forget. Moreover, she was such a dazzling and outstanding woman. He couldn't have got it wrong.
I thought I wouldn't find you...
The beauty said a few words to Liang Hanyu and headed to the restroom. Gong Hao instructed Liang Hanyu at once, “You go ahead, I'll catch up later.”
He followed behind her.
At the restroom.
Qiao Yuqi rinsed her face gently. She felt simply exhausted. Mo Jingwen was vain. In the last few years, he made sure to bring her along to every occasion like this one.
She had enough of those jerks eyeing her. But the Qiao family depended on her.
She touched up her makeup and headed out of the restroom.
Along the corridor, a man was leaning on the wall. He leaned there casually, but there was a powerful aura about him.
Qiao Yuqi froze for a moment before continuing slowly forward.
The man grabbed her arm as she walked past.
“Don't you remember me?”
At his words, Qiao Yuqi took another look at the man. She'd surely remember such an attractive face like his.
“I'm sorry, you must have mistaken me for someone else.”
“Is it?” Gong Hao chuckled. With a yank, he pressed her against the wall. “How about this? Remember now?”
