Chapter 758: 753 Ji Pianran Cheats?

Gu Chen might not have expected that the words he said would carry so much weight, prompting Old Zhang to ponder over them alone.

Moreover, he contemplated them so seriously that he sat there, spending a whole hour just thinking about the multiple layers of meaning in Gu Chen’s words.

By this time, the sky was gradually turning to dusk.

Gu Chen had gone straight home and began preparing a delicious dinner for his family.

While he was cooking, he also turned on the TV.

In this rare moment of comfort at dusk, he felt quite relaxed.

Watching TV while cooking, then waiting for his wife and child to come home, he thought was an incredibly happy affair.

However, it was at this moment that a sudden voice emerged from the TV.

"This afternoon, we noticed the well-known founder of Wang Laoji, Ji Pianran,

meeting with a mysterious man at a restaurant.

It is known that Ji Pianran is married with a daughter; her husband is the chairman of Ping’an Real Estate, Gu Chen. Today’s meeting between Ji Pianran and this mysterious man is quite puzzling and raises suspicions of infidelity by the chairman’s wife."

When this voice came on TV, Gu Chen’s gaze immediately shifted to the screen.

When he saw the figure appearing on the TV was indeed Ji Pianran,

he looked somewhat surprised, setting down the chopsticks he was holding onto the table.

Then he looked closely at the man sitting opposite Ji Pianran.

Observing the man’s profile, he felt it was very familiar. After thinking carefully, he finally recognized who it was. Isn’t that Tong Jingxin?

Ji Pianran had met with Tong Jingxin today, something Gu Chen truly did not expect; he had thought Ji Pianran had just gone to work today.

For a moment, Gu Chen didn’t know what to say.

He decided, after some thought, to switch channels and watch something else.

So he switched to the next TV program.

Unfortunately, the next channel was also a news report, continuing to cover the same story.

"Ji Pianran’s afternoon rendezvous with a mysterious man,

it is noted she’s already the wife of the chairman of Ping’an Real Estate,

and they share a daughter. However, the couple’s relationship does not seem harmonious, and Ji Pianran’s recent meeting with the mysterious man suggests an intimate familiarity between them based on their behavior."

The news report went on to detail how Tong Jingxin suddenly grasped Ji Pianran’s hand.

Upon seeing this scene, Gu Chen’s heart skipped a beat, yet his expression remained as calm as a tranquil cloud, as if no storm could ever shake him.

He was silent, his mind filled with numerous questions and answers.

He did not understand why Ji Pianran had gone to meet him today and why she hadn’t told him about it, which he found quite unbelievable.

In his heart, he felt that Ji Pianran would never betray him; there must be some misunderstanding. As for the closeness between her and Tong Jingxin, he felt it was more one-sided on Tong Jingxin’s part.

However, he believed it wouldn’t take long for this incident to become common knowledge throughout Haicheng, making it quite troublesome when the time came to explain.

Without uttering any superfluous words, he simply continued preparing the meal.

About five or six minutes later, Ji Pianran and Tangtang returned from outside.

Upon their arrival, Tangtang went straight to her room to do homework, while Ji Pianran slowly approached Gu Chen.

At this moment, it seemed she didn’t know how to begin talking to Gu Chen.

"Honey, this afternoon I met with Tong Jingxin."

At this moment, he was quite straightforward and directly told Gu Chen about the meeting.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen nodded, without saying anything else, appearing completely unconcerned about the matter.

"We chatted for a bit; the main thing was that he called me and insisted I go over."

That’s what he said to Gu Chen at the time.

"He constantly watched Gu Chen’s facial expressions as he spoke."

It was as if he were worried that Gu Chen would suddenly get angry.

But Gu Chen remained calm and collected, as if such a trivial matter was unworthy of his concern.

"Honey, can I ask you a question? Has your liquor company been having a lot of trouble lately?"

At that moment, he suddenly asked Gu Chen this question.

"The company’s progress is very smooth at the moment, why do you ask?"

Gu Chen shook his head and asked him back.

Upon hearing this, his face showed disbelief for a brief moment.

"I heard that your liquor company was planning to settle in Haicheng.

But now someone has got you by the throat, and you can’t enter Haicheng anymore, right?"

Facing these issues, he was clear about who had informed her—it must have been Tong Jingxin.

"You don’t have to worry about that; our company has already figured out a solution," Gu Chen said with a smile, telling the truth.

Yet, after he said this, Ji Pianran clearly looked somewhat doubtful.

Even the way she looked at Gu Chen gave off the impression that he was deceiving her.

"Honey, if there’s anything, can you please tell me the truth? Don’t lie to me."

At that moment, he was incredibly nervous and spoke seriously to Gu Chen.

After hearing this, Gu Chen looked at him and said, "I’ve never thought of deceiving you; it’s just that the sudden development of this matter caught me off guard. You don’t need to worry too much."

"I already know about your meeting with Tong Jingxin; you don’t need to explain anything else to me."

Gu Chen said this to him quite directly.

As he spoke, Gu Chen’s face was very calm, showing no sign of anger.

Ji Pianran was surprised upon hearing this, not understanding how Gu Chen had found out.

"I just saw it on the television a moment ago—it was broadcasted."

Gu Chen pointed to the television set in the distance.

Upon hearing this, Ji Pianran picked up the remote control and turned on the television.

The moment she turned on the TV, she saw the news report still broadcasting her affair.

It was her meeting with Tong Jingxin; the entire process had been caught on camera.

Her face was filled with surprise, not having expected the journalists to find out about this.

In an instant, Ji Pianran’s face was filled with fury.

The reason for her anger was the reports of these journalists.

"They’re talking complete nonsense!"
