To seduce her

In the study, the light is soft and quiet.

Gao Yushan sat there quietly, looking intently at the dress in front of him.

A complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

The dress exuded a faint luster, as if carrying all his expectations and anxieties.

Gao Yushan's fingers gently brushed across the fabric of his dress, with a myriad of thoughts running through his mind.

This is Xia Yizhu's dress.

After receiving the invitation letter, Gao Yushan sent a message to Xia Yizhui.

She didn't reply, so he kept waiting.

He marked the time and place clearly.

If she wants, she should come back, right?

Thinking of this, Gao Yushan looked at his mobile phone several times.

But no matter how many times he looked, there was no movement from the phone.

The assistant knocked on the study door.

"Mr. Gao, are we going to pick up Miss Xia?"

Gao Yushan exhaled slowly.

He said he wouldn't force her.

"No need, I'll go by myself." He said subconsciously, as if declaring something to the air.

Maybe Xia Yizhui is not ready to accept him, or maybe she feels that the world outside is a better place and she doesn't want to come back.

but……

Gao Yushan looked down at his legs.

He is a healthy man now, and if she stays with him, he can protect her.

Gao Yushan stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself again.

He picked up the carefully prepared suit and slowly put it on, adjusting the collar and cuffs.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Gao Yushan's eyes suddenly became firm, and he seemed to have made a decision in his heart.

"Go directly to the venue." Gao Yushan strode out.

The assistant followed up: "Mr. Gao, what about you?"

"I'll pick her up."

"..."

Gao Yushan was driving, and from time to time he glanced at the dress custom-made for Xia Yizhuo on the passenger seat.

The dress shimmered softly in the light coming through the car window, as if silently expressing his longing for her.

He hadn't seen her for several days.

We can't just let it go like this.

He missed her very much and wanted to see her.

He did say that he would give her time to think about it, but that didn't mean he would let it go.

He won't and can't let go.

----

The dinner was brightly lit and filled with elegant ladies.

Shen Yaochu gently held Gao Yuchuan's arm, and the two of them, holding wine glasses, walked among the crowd.

From time to time, he looked towards the entrance, waiting for Gao Yushan's arrival.

This is the first time Gao Yushan appeared in the public eye after his leg healed.

Because of his injury, he endured too many rumors and his work was affected a lot.

After everyone sees that Gao Yushan has recovered, the confrontation between him and Gao Yuchuan in the Gao Group will make the structure of the Gao Group more stable.

Those who are eyeing the situation covetously will be much more obedient.

Gao Yushan frowned slightly: "It's about to start."

He personally sent the invitation letter, but Gao Yushan hasn't come yet.

Shen Yaochu shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "I don't know, maybe something important really delayed him. He should be here."

As he was speaking, Shen Yaochu's gaze stopped on a familiar figure.

Gao Yushan's assistant.

The assistant's eyes lit up. Seeing Shen Yaochu looking at him and as if he had something to say to him, he immediately walked over.

The assistant walked up to the two and greeted them respectfully: "Mr. Xiao Gao, Madam."

Shen Yaochu nodded slightly: "Where's Yushan? Hasn't he arrived yet? Do you have any other questions?"

The assistant showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and hesitantly said: "Mr. Gao...he has some personal matters, so he may come later."

Shen Yaochu raised her eyebrows slightly, revealing a curious look: "Oh, it seems that you want to use the other invitation letter?"

The assistant felt a little uncomfortable and didn't answer, but he also acquiesced.

Shen Yaochu and Gao Yuchuan smiled at each other.

They have all been through it, so they understand.

Gao Yuchuan looked at his assistant: "Remind him to come here in time and not miss this opportunity."

The assistant nodded: "I understand. It would be a pity if I missed it. I will remind Mr. Gao."

……

The other side of the dinner.

Gao Yuanbin stood on the balcony of the banquet hall, playing with a glass of red wine in his hand. His eyes were deep, and he seemed to be thinking about something important.

He just received a phone call, and the news he received on the phone made him frown.

The call was from his private detective, who told him that He Manyue had mysteriously disappeared.

No matter what method they used, they couldn't find any clues.

All the evidence pointed to the possibility that she might have fled the country.

They have so much evidence against He Manyue, can they really let her get away?!

Gao Yuanbin's assistant's voice came from behind: "I found a clue to the thing you asked me to find before."

Gao Yuanbin turned around, his eyes cold and fierce: "What's the matter?"

"Ms. He asked someone to buy a ticket for illegal immigration on the black market and has already left. It seems that she wants to flee here and avoid legal sanctions."

Gao Yuanbin took a deep breath. The information his assistant found coincided with what the private detective told him.

It seems that He Manyue really escaped from Lukang and the country quietly.

Gao Yuanbin's eyes instantly became more gloomy, and he tightly grasped the wine glass in his hand: "Aren't our people all staring at her? Gao Yuchuan's people are also staring at him!"

The assistant hesitated for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "Since Mr. He has run away, the biggest problem is Young Master Yuchuan's, right? Should we use this matter to exchange benefits with the young master? After all, your current situation in Gao's company cannot be ignored..."

The assistant paused, and seeing that Gao Yuanbin was not disgusted, he continued: "If we can reach some agreement with him, it will also be good for us."

Gao Yuanbin's assistant has been with him for many years, and before He Manyue took complete care of him, it was the assistant who did things for him.

Later, even though He Manyue did most of the things his assistant would do, he never fired this assistant.

The assistant has always been loyal and can even give good suggestions in many cases.

Like now.

Gao Yuanbin suddenly felt that he was very far-sighted for not firing him.

There was a hint of hesitation on Gao Yuanbin's face.

The relationship between him and Gao Yuchuan has always been incompatible. Because Gao Yuchuan refused to help him, they had several disputes and conflicts.

Gao Yuanbin knew that if Gao Yuchuan knew that He Manyue had run away, he would be more panicked than he was.

But...if He Manyue really can't be caught, all the evidence in his hand will be in vain.

Gao Yuanbin frowned and said to his assistant, "It's not a good thing that He Manyue ran away. You continue to find a way to find out where she ran off to."

"Okay, Mr. Gao."

Gao Yuanbin pondered for a moment, shook the wine glass in his hand, and walked towards Gao Yuchuan in the hall.

"Yuchuan, Dad has something to discuss with you. Let's find a place with few people to talk?" Gao Yuanbin was afraid that he would not agree, so he added, "It's about He Manyue."
