Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 623: The Role of Sheng Tang

Chapter 623: Chapter 623: The Role of Sheng Tang
During dinner, Sheng Tang drank some alcohol.
So she was absent-minded later, and Ke Fei assumed she was drunk.
Gu Jiahui also said, "She can’t hold her liquor well. In the future, try to get her out of social engagements if possible."
Ke Fei: "Her drinking capacity isn’t great."
After dinner, Ke Fei called for a chauffeur service and left first; Gu Jiahui’s car is a sports car with only two seats, so calling for a chauffeur wouldn’t be convenient. Therefore, they waited at the venue.
Gu Jiahui’s secretary would drive his car back, and then another driver would pick him up.
The night air was slightly chilly; beside the road stood a sweet osmanthus tree, blooming with tiny fragrant flowers, filling the air with a pleasant scent.
Sheng Tang’s alcohol tolerance was decent; a bit of red wine didn’t affect her. While standing by the roadside, waiting for the car with Gu Jiahui, she suddenly asked him, "Is Yang Mingming coming back?"
Gu Jiahui was watching the traffic flow, with his mind on other matters. He turned his head upon hearing her question.
Neon lights fell on her face, adding a thin layer of glow.
Her beauty now had a hint of enchantment.
Gu Jiahui cleared his throat, feeling a slight itch there.
"Why did you suddenly bring her up?" Gu Jiahui asked.
Sheng Tang: "I saw you texting her just now."
She casually glanced at it but could clearly read the text on other’s phone screens, making it somewhat of a snooping ability she had.
Gu Jiahui: "..."
"Is she asking you to pick her up tomorrow?" Sheng Tang asked again.
Gu Jiahui smiled: "Do I need to this to you?"
"That’s not necessary," Sheng Tang said, "I just finally understand my value."
At first, Sheng Tang thought that Gu Jiahui signed the relationship contract with her to deal with his family. Maybe they were urging him to marry and form alliances, but he didn’t want to.
However, having met Gu Jiahui’s mother, Mrs. Gu, who didn’t like Sheng Tang, and Gu Jiahui made no remarks about it, Sheng Tang was puzzled for a while.
Just now, she caught a glimpse of his phone, finally realizing.
It was all for Yang Mingming.
After all these years, Gu Jiahui’s thoughts were still on Yang Mingming.
"You figured it out?" Gu Jiahui pushed his glasses up slightly, his gaze behind the lenses carrying a bit of mockery, "Really figured it out?"
"Since school days, you’ve been trying to get close to Miss Yang. Whether it is true love, I can’t say, but wanting to win her heart is true.
As for Miss Yang, I don’t understand her temper as well as you do, but I do know one thing: things given freely are never prized.
The pampered Miss Yang, her love needs some thrill. One guy was her secret admirer from her youth, and now is her former rival’s current boyfriend.
Snatching this man away is more interesting than conquering the ice-cold Gu Shiting." Sheng Tang slowly said, "Am I right?"
Gu Jiahui indeed laughed.
Sheng Tang’s speculation was spot on.
Yang Mingming was the type who didn’t regard easily-given things as good.
How to pique her interest?
Snatching someone else’s boyfriend was one thrill; taking Sheng Tang’s boyfriend and revenging high school grievances when Sheng Tang outshone her and won over Gu Shiting was another; reclaiming her secret admirer was the third.
Therefore, Gu Jiahui needed Sheng Tang.
He had always kept an eye on Yang Mingming, knowing she was about to return to develop her career, hence hurriedly signing the contract with Sheng Tang.
He just didn’t expect his mother to fall ill suddenly, delaying him for a year. However, fate worked in his favor, as Yang Mingming was also delayed by some matters, postponing her return by a year.
Everything seemed to be preordained.
"Exactly, you are very smart." Gu Jiahui approached her, the rich aroma of red wine wafting towards Sheng Tang’s face, slightly intoxicating.
