The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard

Chapter 566: Chapter 0568: My Purpose

Actually, dining in this partition of the hall was Chu Ge’s idea.

As for why, he simply thought the surrounding environment was nice and the decor was filled with a retro charm, hence he felt like eating in the hall.

However, someone saw this as capital for being neglected, as something to demean others.

Chu Ge smiled lightly, "No need, it’s also quite nice to view Shanghai’s scenery from here."

Ge Fan laughed, "Isn’t Mr. Chu from Shanghai? Even if you aren’t, you must have been in Shanghai for quite some time now, yet you still find the scenery here so interesting."

Chu Ge’s expression remained neutral, showing no particular emotion.

Ge Fan, not knowing where he got the courage—perhaps from the polite way Chu Ge had initially spoken to him, or maybe the bodyguards standing behind him gave him a sense of security—started to speak more and more recklessly.

"The scenery in Shanghai is indeed quite nice," said Chu Ge.

Ge Fan found talking to Chu Ge dull, especially since they were sitting while he stood, which really seemed demeaning, so he turned his gaze to Ouyang Die, and with a smile asked, "Miss Ouyang, it’s an honor to meet you today. Could I possibly have the privilege of treating Miss Ouyang to a meal?"

Ouyang Die looked at him with disdain and shook her head, "I don’t deal with the nouveau riche."

The words "nouveau riche" instantly caused Ge Fan’s face to lose its color, his eyes glaring furiously at Ouyang Die, "You shrew! Who are you calling nouveau riche!"

Those three words were Ge Fan’s bottom line. Indeed, the Ge Family had climbed their way into the Nangong Family’s circles thanks to a martial arts doctor, becoming what Ouyang Die referred to as "nouveau riche."

Ever since the Ge Family entered high society, they had been trying hard to shed the label of nouveau riche, especially in Beijing, where they could never break into the upper echelons because of it.

Now in Shanghai, they still had to endure this ridicule, how could he possibly swallow this insult.

Ouyang Die was also fiery, she put down her chopsticks, raised her eyes lightly, and with a disdainful tone said, "What, is the Ge Family not nouveau riche? Are you actually afraid of people saying that?"

Ge Fan glared furiously at Ouyang Die, but because Chu Ge was by her side, he dared not make a scene. Anger in his eyes, he pointed at Ouyang Die as if to say, just you wait!

Ge Fan turned around angrily and headed towards the private room.

The hall returned to quiet.

Ouyang Die pursed her lips, a bit embarrassed, she said to Chu Ge: "Mr. Chu, I’m sorry."

Chu Ge was slightly stunned, puzzled, he asked, "Why apologize to me?"

Ouyang Die sighed and explained, "If we had started off in the private room, we wouldn’t have run into Ge Fan and all these annoying things wouldn’t have happened."

Ge Fan had disrupted their dining mood.

Chu Ge chuckled, he shook his head helplessly, and with a teasing tone said, "When did Miss Ouyang become so gentle and courteous?"

Ouyang Die twitched her lips, she looked up at Chu Ge, who always exuded a charismatic appeal, and in a challenging tone asked, "Don’t you think I’m gentle?"

Zhang Chenggong, standing nearby, watched the two people exchange words back and forth. He felt himself superfluous and thought about the need to discuss shares with everyone later, so he couldn’t help but interrupt them first. "Mr. Chu, Miss Ouyang, please go ahead and eat, I have something urgent to attend to and must leave first."

After speaking, he apologetically nodded to Chu Ge and Ouyang Die, then left.

With Zhang Chenggong’s departure, only Chu Ge and Ouyang Die remained at the dining table.

Ouyang Die was still upset about Chu Ge’s comment that she wasn’t gentle. She glared at Chu Ge, her eyes flecked with starlight within their grape-like pupils, "Mr. Chu, in what way am I not gentle?"

Chu Ge hadn’t anticipated that his offhand remark would stick with Ouyang Die, but he was only stating the truth. The family environment had cultivated a fierce temperament in Ouyang Die. Gentle? That word was totally irrelevant to her!

Chu Ge awkwardly cleared his throat. Pointing at Ouyang Die, he said, "Look at yourself now, how is that gentle?"

Ouyang Die was stunned and then noticed her own demeanor. She looked down at herself, hands on her hips—if only she had a mirror, she would realize how ungentle she looked at that moment.

Ouyang Die’s lips twitched, and she silently put her hands down, then picked up her chopsticks and began to eat bit by bit.

Meanwhile, in the private room where Ge Fan was, someone was already there when Ge Fan entered.

The man was dressed in a black suit and appeared to be in his forties or fifties.

As soon as Ge Fan entered and saw the man, his initially displeased expression turned into one of flattery, "Uncle Shao, what brings you to Shanghai all of a sudden?"

Shao Gang had been closing his eyes, but upon hearing someone enter, he slowly opened them. After giving Ge Fan a glance, he nodded slightly, "I am here to discuss something important with you."

Ge Fan noticed there wasn’t even a cup of tea poured for Shao Gang and immediately scolded the people behind him, "What kind of service is this! Didn’t you know you should take good care of Uncle Shao?"

While saying this, Ge Fan, bending over, poured a cup of tea for Shao Gang, "Uncle Shao, please have some tea."

Shao Gang picked up the tea and took a sip, then told him, "Let’s skip these mundane formalities. I’ve come to discuss a more important matter with you."

Ge Fan obediently sat beside Shao Gang, looked at him curiously, and asked, "Uncle Shao, what is that important matter?"

Shao Gang glanced up at the bodyguards behind Ge Fan, a flicker of disdain swiftly passing through his heart, but he concealed it well, making no appearance on his face.

With a single look from him, Ge Fan understood and quickly turned to his bodyguards to instruct, "You all go out, do not come in without my order."

After the bodyguard left, Ge Fan, smiling, looked at Shao Gang, "Now can we talk, Uncle Shao? Keeping it so secretive, does that mean the task you have for me is very important?"

Shao Gang slightly nodded, "I have only one purpose in coming to you, it’s about Chu Ge."

Chu Ge?

Ge Fan was stunned and confusedly looked at Shao Gang, "Uncle Shao, when did you also get involved with Chu Ge?"

Shao Gang’s suspicious eyes met his, "Do you also have a connection with Chu Ge?"

Ge Fan quickly waved his hand, "It’s not exactly a connection; I’m not familiar with him, but we had some unpleasant encounters in Su City before."
