Shen Yue was prepared for everything.
She didn't have any expectation that this Gu family would let her leave so easily.
"My brother has already known that you had nothing to do that explosion. It was all a big misunderstanding! In fact, that's the reason my brother has sent me here. I want to apologize on the behalf of the Gu family!"
What?
Out of all the things, an apology wasn't something she had expected.
"Can I... leave?" That was all that mattered.
"Of course!" Gu Bingwen beamed. "But I hope you that Ms. Shen won't mind my brother strange behavior... It's just that, ever since he was young he has not been very social. he is a bit... shy."
Shen Yue was about to speak when she choked on her words.
Shy?
You say shy?
The man who shamelessly stole not only my first but my second kiss, you call him shy?
However, Shen Yue forced herself to smile. "It's alright." She tried her best to keep her tone natural.
Gu Bingwen noticed her strange reaction. He paused. "Ms. Shen, you don't have to be so reserved. Earlier, we have been harsh on you because you were highly suspected. Now that everything has cleared, we won't ever harm an innocent! In fact, you are our benefactor! If you want anything, you can ask. My big brother has great influence in the Capital city. He can fulfill any wish of yours."
Benefactor my ass!
"I just want to leave."
Gu Bingwen noticed that all his attempts starting to fail. He panicked.
Damn it! If I don't succeed in eliminating the misunderstanding in her mind, my brother would whoop my ass!
He coughed. "Ms. Shen, I hope you could give my brother a chance..." His eyes watered. he appeared to be on the verge of crying.
"What does Second Master Gu means? I don't understand..."
"I know from the earlier way he approached you, he was a bit... extreme..."
A bit?
"Alright. A lot, lot extreme!" Gu Bingwen immediately corrected himself observing Shen Yue poker face. "But, the thing is he is really interested in you."
Shen Yue: "..."
What the hell? What was this Second Master Gu trying to do? To play cupid for his elder brother? Who the Hell does this at his age? Is this whole 'Gu' family infected with craziness?
Shen Yue was about to say something but when she saw the panic in Gu Bingwen's eyes, she paused.
"My brother is a gentleman. He never plays with a woman. If Ms. Shen has reservations about that matter, I can vouch for his character!"
Gentleman...
Second Master Gu, why do you look so desperate...
Shen Yue took a deep breath. "Although I don't quite understand what Second Master Gu is trying to reach at, I assure you I will try my best to accommodate."
Whatever! She just wanted to get out of here first! The rest could be left for later!
Hearing her words, Gu Bingwen looked up. 'Did she agree?'
"So you are not angry at my brother for keeping you here?"
"Why would I be? Since I was a suspect, it was only natural he kept me here." Shen Yue had a small smile on her lips.
Angry at that Devil? How would I dare!
"Alright then! I will ask a driver to drop Ms. Shen back!"
And so with her accurate answers, Shen Yue had been able to get out of that mysterious huge Manor the 'Gu' family owned.
Only once she was seated in the car she let out a sigh in relief.
Glancing at the countless messages from her manager, she sighed in dejection.
"Head for the Diamond Entertainment Headquarters."
She was in deep shit!
