Mr. Zhang slightly raised his eyes, glanced at the jewelry box, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Xiao Zhou, you're quite the smooth talker. This jewelry set is very nice," Mr. Zhang said with a hint of admiration.
He gently opened the jewelry box and carefully examined the emerald jewelry set.
Zhou Zeran stood aside, watching President Zhang nervously, his heart filled with anticipation.
"Mr. Zhang, what do you think of that investment project we discussed before..." Zhou Zeran asked cautiously, his voice tinged with urgency.
Mr. Zhang nodded slightly, a satisfied smile appearing on his face: "Xiao Zhou, I see your sincerity. I will consider this project."
Mr. Zhang's words were like heavenly music, filling Zhou Zeran with immense joy.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Zhang!" he said quickly, his smile growing even brighter.
on the other side.
Li Yan and the other two stayed in the private room and didn't leave.
The thought of Gu Tingyu spending lavishly on Xu Rou annoyed Li Yan. She frowned and looked at Gu Tingyu, saying, "Xiao Yu, you used to say I was a spendthrift, but look at you now."
If Xu Rou were a good match, Li Yan wouldn't be so angry.
Gu Tingyu was unconvinced and felt that he had done nothing wrong.
He retorted defiantly to Li Yan, "How have I been wasteful? Can't I spend my own money?"
Looking at Gu Tingyu's stubborn expression, Li Yan felt helpless.
Gu Tingyu remained stubbornly unchanged, refusing to listen to any advice.
But Gu Tingyu is her son after all, and Li Yan can't just stand by and watch him walk into the abyss and come back covered in injuries.
Li Yan's gaze was fixed on Gu Tingyu, her brows furrowing slightly, a hint of worry in her eyes: "Xiaoyu, you can't be so foolish. You need to see through things to the essence. Look at what Xu Rou has done behind your back. She's not sincere towards you at all."
Her voice carried a hint of sternness, and her eyes were fixed on Gu Tingyu, as if she wanted to see right through him.
But Gu Tingyu disagreed, his expression full of determination: "Mom, once it's given to Xu Rou, it belongs to Xu Rou. How she does it is her prerogative. I trust her; she won't betray me."
His voice carried a hint of stubbornness, still foolishly guarding his unattainable love.
Li Yan sighed and shook her head: "Gu Tingyu, why are you suddenly so love-struck? You'll suffer a great loss if you do this."
Her tone was filled with helplessness and heartache.
Li Yan really couldn't understand what was so good about Xu Rou, and why Gu Tingyu would be so obsessed with a woman who wasn't worth it.
Gu Tingyu avoided Li Yan's gaze, pursed his thin lips, and remained silent.
At this moment, Gu Tingyan sat silently to the side, feeling very uncomfortable watching Li Yan's concern for Gu Tingyu.
He felt ignored, like a forgotten child.
A subtle, unreadable emotion flashed in Gu Tingyan's eyes, and his fist unconsciously clenched slightly.
"Li Yan, don't just focus on Tingyu. I'm here too." Gu Tingyan's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible dissatisfaction and grievance.
He deliberately interrupted Li Yan and Gu Tingyu's conversation.
Li Yan was slightly taken aback, only then realizing that she had overlooked Gu Tingyan.
"Ayan, don't be angry. I'm just worried that Xiaoyu will be hurt and deceived by Xu Rou like you were." Li Yan's voice was tinged with apology, and her eyes were full of tenderness as she looked at Gu Tingyan.
Gu Tingyan, however, persisted, wanting to attract Li Yan's attention.
"Li Yan, there's an even better jewelry auction coming up later. Don't you like jewelry? Let's go take a look together." Gu Tingyan's voice carried a hint of anticipation, his dark eyes gleaming.
