Chapter 424: Chapter 424 Taking Advantage and Pretending Innocence (4) Chapter 424: Chapter 424 Taking Advantage and Pretending Innocence (4) In high school, when her mother was still alive, she was a carefree young girl who liked to buy the trinkets that all little girls are fond of.

He saw her collection several times, unintentionally. Strangely, even though he did not try to remember anything, it seared itself into his memory.

When he first started looking for a designer to design the ring, Arthur asked him how many carats, what kind of diamond.

The minute he stated his requirements, Arthur practically choked on his own blood.

It wasn’t that such an order couldn’t be placed; it was just that, given Gu Annan’s fortune, Arthur had assumed he would choose something more astonishing.

The designer, on the other hand, had no objections. In the designer’s eyes, it was the design that was the great masterpiece, not how large the diamonds were.

The ring was pinched between his fingers, and for a moment he lost interest in the documents before him.

His cell phone suddenly rang, and he glanced at the name, his expression darkening.

“Uncle Lu,” Gu Annan put the ring in the drawer, and his icy voice carried through.

“Master Gu, I heard you and Wanwan have gotten married. Why do you still call me Uncle Lu so distantly?” The person on the other end of the phone chuckled.

Gu Annan remained silent, which made Lu Jingtian on the other end a bit apprehensive.

“Master Gu, is that true? Or did Wanwan lie to me just for the shares… tell me this just to fool me?”

“Uncle Lu, if you have something to say, just say it.” Gu Annan’s voice was just as inscrutable as before.

Lu Jingtian had already brought up the topic, so why was Gu Annan still so composed?

This made him somewhat at a loss for words.

“Oh, I’m just mentioning it. Wanwan talked about wanting shares, because her mother’s earlier intention was for her to inherit the company shares after getting married. Then suddenly today she said she’s already married, and she told me to start the process. Even though Uncle Lu is busy lately, Wanwan is my daughter, and I must take this matter seriously. Just today, I notified some of the shareholders, and Wanwan can come over tomorrow.”

“Is that all?” Gu Annan icily retorted, his voice devoid of warmth but not arrogance.

Lu Jingtian gave a wry laugh, “I know it’s a bit of a hassle for you to tell her, Master Gu. I did try calling her just now, but she didn’t answer, so… But Master Gu, when did you guys get married? Wanwan didn’t even mention it, and she came over so urgently today. She rushed off right after asking about the shares. Has she been very busy lately?”

Gu Annan’s face was as still as water as he spoke evenly, “I will pass on the message.”

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jingtian’s forced smile immediately faded away.

He knitted his brows tightly and remained silent for a long while.

“Well? How did it go?” Lin Yu asked from the side, “What was Gu Annan’s reaction?”

“There was no reaction,” Lu Jingtian said with his brows furrowed, “I already hinted rather strongly at Wanwan’s motive for getting married. Normally, a person like him would have had some reaction.”

Could it be that Master Gu doesn’t care at all?

Lin Yu crossed her arms and said sternly, “This is really troublesome. If she loses Gu Annan’s support, there’s bound to be trouble sooner or later.”

“Is your source reliable?” Lu Jingtian raised his eyes.

“Of course! It came from the daughter of the caretaker of the old lady. I paid a lot for this information. I don’t know when the old lady overheard our conversation and even remembered it before she died. Now that caretaker knows about it too.”

Lu Jingtian waved his hand irritably, “Never mind the caretaker, she has no evidence.”
