Chapter 336 Love Bento
That's why she currently has limited funds and simply can't give Ji Mengran two million.
However, the proud Old Madam Gu would never tell Ji Mengran, who was eager to see her make a fool of herself, about her situation.
"This is all I can give you right now. If you trust me, I'll transfer the remaining million to your account in a week," said Mrs. Gu, extending an olive branch.
Once the money is deposited into the card, there's no need to risk redeeming it. Even if Old Mrs. Gu doesn't keep her promise a week later, she can simply come back to the Gu family's old house to find her.
No matter how she looked at it, what she said was a win-win situation for her. Ji Mengran looked at Old Madam Gu, "I'll trust you for a little while longer. But let me make this clear: if you dare to lie to me, I'll drag you down with me!"
"Okay." Grandma Gu nodded.
Ji Mengran put away the one million yuan check, looked around the Gu family's old house, and then turned and left.
Watching her retreating figure, Old Mrs. Gu snorted coldly, "A mere girl dares to threaten her! She really doesn't know her own limitations."
A week later, let alone a million, she might not even have her freedom anymore.
Grandma Gu sat up from the sofa, went straight upstairs to change her clothes, and then came down.
Seeing this, the butler immediately stepped forward and asked, "Madam, are you going out?"
"Yes, have someone prepare the car," Grandma Gu instructed.
"Okay, I'll go right away." The butler eagerly went to make the arrangements.
……
After leaving school, Gu Yinshen went straight to the company. Yesterday, because of Tian Tian's matter, the meeting ended abruptly halfway through, leaving a lot of work piled up and unfinished.
Upon arriving at the office, the assistant immediately came to his side. "Mr. Gu, should we continue yesterday's meeting?"
Looking at the mountain of documents piled on the table, Gu Yinshen asked, "Do all of these need to be processed today?"
"Yes, some projects require signatures, otherwise the subsequent work cannot proceed." The assistant said, reaching into a pile of documents to pick out the most urgent part that needed to be dealt with.
Gu Yinshen picked up a document at random, glanced at it, and put the document down. "Arrange for them to have a meeting first."
"Okay," the assistant replied, turning and leaving the office.
Leaning back in his chair, Gu Yinshen raised his hand to rub his temples.
Letting Ji Mengran go was more difficult for Tian Tian than any other job.
What if that crazy woman goes to the Gu residence and says something she shouldn't to Ruolan to provoke her?
Thinking of this problem, Gu Yinshen immediately took out his phone from his pocket and called Ruolan.
The phone rang for a long time, but Ruolan on the other end did not answer.
As time ticked by, Gu Yinshen felt a growing unease in his eyelids.
Could it be that she has already gone to the Gu family?
Thinking of this, Gu Yinshen stood up from his chair, took his phone, and went to the French windows to call the Gu family's landline.
The phone rang twice before being answered.
Aunt Xue's voice came through the receiver, "Hello, who is this?"
"Aunt Xue, is Ruolan home?"
"Sir, Madam is at home."
Has anyone come to the house?
In response to Gu Yinshen's question, Aunt Xue asked in confusion, "Are there any guests coming later?"
"No," Gu Yinshen explained, but he couldn't directly express his inner worries.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's alright, you can go ahead and do your work."
"Sir, Madam wants to speak with you." Aunt Xue said, handing the phone to Ruolan.
She had just picked up her phone and saw that Gu Yinshen had called. She was about to call back when she heard Aunt Xue's words and learned that Gu Yinshen had called home.
"Yin Shen, I was in the kitchen and didn't hear my phone ring. Is there something you need?" Ruolan asked softly.
"It's nothing, don't overthink it. I just wanted to call and tell you that I'm a bit busy at the company today, and I might not have time for lunch. I was thinking of having you prepare lunch for me and bring it to the company," Gu Yinshen said.
He was worried about leaving Ruolan alone at home, so even if Ji Mengran was bold, she wouldn't dare to appear in front of him easily when she came to the company.
Without a second thought, Ruolan immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll get ready in a bit."
"Hmm, no rush. You don't need to cook yourself. Let Aunt Xue and Aunt Ping do it, and you can bring it to the company."
"it is good."
After hanging up the phone, Ruolan blushed.
She used to bring Gu Yinshen meals at his company. She couldn't even remember the last time.
Aunt Xue, who had been listening to the phone conversation, said with a smile, "Madam, the master has only been away from home for a short while and he already misses you."
"Aunt Xue!" Ruolan said coquettishly, turning around and going into the kitchen embarrassed.
"What are you laughing at?" Aunt Ping came in from outside and saw Aunt Xue covering her mouth and chuckling.
Aunt Xue glanced at Ruolan, then tiptoed and whispered the scene that had just happened to Aunt Ping.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Ping smiled.
"The husband and wife had a good relationship. If it weren't for the interference of some bad people, they wouldn't have suffered so much in those years."
At this point, the smiles on their faces turned into regret.
Outside the gate, Grandma Gu got out of the car. Looking at the closed gate, she reached out and pressed the doorbell next to her.
"Someone's here?" Aunt Ping said.
She turned to look at the gate and saw Old Madam Gu's face. Instantly, she nervously grabbed Aunt Xue.
"Grandma Gu is here, what should we do? Should we open the door?"
“Don’t open it! The master instructed me last time that I must not open the door whenever she comes.”
"Wouldn't it be inappropriate not to open the door?"
Aunt Ping noticed that Old Mrs. Gu kept ringing the doorbell, and nervously turned around to look at Ruolan in the kitchen, who was happily preparing a loving bento for Gu Yinshen.
Fortunately, the glass door was closed, blocking out the outside noise. But standing there indefinitely wasn't a solution; what if she came out and heard them?
"How about we call the master to let him know and ask for his opinion?" Aunt Xue suggested.
After all, Old Madam Gu was Gu Yinshen's biological mother, so there couldn't possibly be so much deep hatred between them.
Aunt Ping thought it was a good idea and immediately nodded in agreement, "Then you should call now, I'll go out and take a look."
"Don't go out yet." Aunt Xue held the phone in one hand and pulled Aunt Ping back from leaving with the other. "If you go out now, what if I call and find out that the master still doesn't allow Old Madam Gu to come in? Then it will be hard to explain."
"That makes sense! How come I didn't think of that!" Aunt Ping slapped her forehead and urged Aunt Xue to make the call as soon as possible.
The call was dialed, but the other party did not answer for a long time.
Aunt Xue hung up and called again, but still no one answered. She looked at Aunt Ping and said, "The master just called to say he would be very busy at noon, and he should be busy now."
