Summer Kiss

Chapter 23 Setting up a trap
Fu Xicheng stroked his chin. This wasn't enough. With Gu Yan's eloquence, he would definitely be able to fool Shi Jiu.

He's preparing to unleash a powerful move.

“If we’re going to do it, we should plan it on a grand scale. I’ll go to Huangtian Group later to discuss it with Lu Zhiqian. Tomorrow, I’ll have him go to Shijiu Group to discuss cooperation. I’ll also arrange for that woman to go to Gu Yan’s office ahead of time. I’m going to catch her red-handed and make Gu Yan lose face.”

Xu Yansheng leaned back on the sofa and took a deep breath. "Fu Xicheng, it seems that those who offend you don't have much of a way out."

The next second, Fu Xicheng's expression turned serious. "Xu Yansheng, watch your words."

Xu Yansheng glanced at him, then played with the lighter in his hand and pulled a cigarette out of the cigarette case.

"What are you worried about? This is your territory, and there's no one else here."

Just then, Fu Xicheng issued an order to leave.

"Smoking is prohibited in the art studio. Instead of lingering here, you'd be better off getting things done for me. If you do it well, you'll get your share of the benefits."

Xu Yansheng put a cigarette in his mouth and said, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely find a beautiful woman who is both sexy and innocent, and she'll absolutely make Gu Yan fall head over heels for her."

……

The night was deep, and starlight dotted the sky. At the entrance of Mingyue Hotel, Gu Yan saw off the CEO of Shengbei Technology and then sent a WeChat message to Shi Jiu.

He had just reached his parking spot when he spotted a woman leaning against his car door.

The woman wore a sexy black halter dress, her long, straight hair cascading down to her waist, and she appeared somewhat intoxicated.

Gu Yan pressed the unlock button, and the car lights flashed twice.

The woman's eyes were somewhat glazed as she looked up at Gu Yan. Her voice was a little hoarse as she said, "Sir, I'm drunk and haven't been able to get a taxi yet. Could you take me home?"

Gu Yan frowned slightly. He didn't know this woman, but seeing that she seemed to have really drunk quite a bit, he hesitated for a moment.

He looked around and found that there was no one there.

The woman supported herself on the car door with one hand, staggered forward a few steps, and fell straight into Gu Yan's arms.

She tugged at Gu Yan's sleeve and pleaded, "Sir, please help me."

The woman feigned a weak and pitiful appearance, and her innocent demeanor momentarily stunned Gu Yan.

Gu Yan put his arm around the woman's waist and finally nodded.

The woman swayed slightly, regained her balance, and looked at Gu Yan gratefully. With his help, she got into the passenger seat.

Gu Yan's car disappeared into the night, and Fu Xicheng and Xu Yansheng emerged from the shadows.

Xu Yansheng patted Fu Xicheng on the shoulder and lit a cigarette in his hand.

"Fu Xicheng, as you wished, now we have the video and photos. Let's wait and see the show tomorrow."

Fu Xicheng's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. "You've worked hard. You're really good at using forced perspective. Tomorrow morning, you'll personally pick up Miss Yu. Remember to time it perfectly and take her to Gu Yan's office."

Xu Yansheng exhaled a beautiful smoke ring and flicked the ash off his cigarette.

You can rest assured that I'll handle things well.

……

The following day, Shijiu Group.

Gu Yan had just arrived at the company and was intently looking at the design drawings in his hands.

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open with a bang, instantly shattering the quiet atmosphere. Shi Jiu, wearing high heels, rushed to Gu Yan's desk and angrily threw the photo she was holding at him.

"Gu Yan, which vixen were you with last night?"

Gu Yan frowned and looked down at the photos scattered on the table. One of the photos was an intimate picture of him and a woman in the parking lot of the Mingyue Hotel last night.

Who took these photos and sent them to Shijiu?
Now is not the time to figure this out. Gu Yan quickly calmed down and looked at Shi Jiu with gentle eyes.

"Jiujiu, don't you know me well enough?"

“These photos are just misaligned. As you know, I was entertaining guests at the Mingyue Hotel last night. After the event, I saw a drunk woman leaning against my car door. When I got closer, I realized that the woman was actually my distant cousin. Because of this relationship, I took her home.”

Gu Yan stood up and embraced Shi Jiu, her eyes icy cold.

"Jiujiu, you have to believe me. I already have such a wonderful girlfriend like you, how could I possibly be greedy for another woman?"

After a long while, she looked up from Gu Yan's embrace, her gaze filled with a hint of doubt. "Ayan, have I really misunderstood you?"

Gu Yan nodded, and when he looked at Shi Jiu, his gaze was extremely gentle. "I don't blame you. If anyone is to blame, it's because you're too outstanding. Perhaps the people who like you are jealous of me and want to drive me away from you."

"Jiujiu, it seems I have to work harder, otherwise how can I possibly be worthy of you?"

After a long while, she smiled and completely believed Gu Yan's words, "Ayan, you must treat me well."

Gu Yan spoke the gentlest words, "Jiu Jiu, you are my treasure. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"

Gu Yan quickly calmed down Shi Jiu's anger. Gu Yan understood Shi Jiu's temper and personality, so he naturally knew how to appease her.

"I'm going to get back to work. Are you going to sit here and play on your phone while I work, or are you going to go shopping with your girlfriends and buy some clothes?"

After a while, she turned her head and smiled, "Then you go ahead with your work, let's have lunch together."

After a while, Gu Yan's face darkened and he became completely cold. He had a feeling that the woman's appearance last night was too coincidental.

He returned to his desk and examined the photos again closely. After looking at them, he threw them into the document shredder.

Gu Yan calmed down, touched his chin, and couldn't figure out who was secretly framing him.

Fortunately, he managed to appease Shi Jiu, and he vowed never to have any more lustful thoughts when going out for social events.

Gu Yan lowered his head and continued to review the design drafts. He marked several design drafts with an X in a row. He frowned and was very dissatisfied with the drafts they submitted.

At that moment, there was a knock on the office door, and Assistant Wang came in and handed Gu Yan a sealed handbag.

"Director Gu, a lady just said she's a distant relative of yours and asked me to give this to you."

Gu Yan tore open the handbag, and inside the yellow handbag lay a black wallet.

Gu Yan seemed to remember something and looked up to ask, "Where is my cousin?"

"Wait in the conference room."

Gu Yan tossed several design drafts to Assistant Wang, saying, "Have her come to my office. Send these back and have them redraw them."

Soon, Yu Xiran walked into Gu Yan's office, closed the door, and sat on Gu Yan's lap without a care.

She poked his chin, her voice alluring, "You forgetful Mr. Gu, luckily I had your business card in my wallet, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find you."
