Yating blinked. Zhu Chyou? Isnt she an actress?

Yes but her father, Zhu Xiaosi, is the CEO of S3 company and as such, Zhu Chyou has all kinds of experience working with technology and these things.

I had already hired a hacker to investigate the Summit, Dad.

Gu Rong snorted. Dont compare him to her. Zhu Chyou has superior skills. In his days, Zhu Xiaosi was just as capable. Even his son, Zhu Xiang, is not less talented. Look, I feel if you ask for her help, she will definitely be able to find something. Please.

Yating grimaced. I dont even know her. I cannot just knock on her homes door and ask her to help me.

But Zhu Xiaosi and I do, Gu Rong said. It wont be a problem. If we earnestly ask for their help, I know they wont deny us.

Yating thought about it and said, Fine. I will contact her. But remember our deal. This is the last time.

He nodded. Then he said, Yating, about the Gu Corpsyou dont have to worry about the work. I will talk to-

Dont fret over it. I am handling the work as the CEO.

Gu Rong slowly widened his eyes. He couldnt believe what he just heard. Yating had always detested working for the family business, so he didnt have any hope that Yating would take responsibility and manage the company until he was in jail. So, Gu Rong had plans for somebody to temporarily take charge.

But to know that Yating himself stepped up, he couldnt be happier than this.

His gaze softened. I-I seeThanks. Working for Dream High and Gu Corps at once must be tiring.

Yating watched him unblinkingly. Its fine. Dont waste your time worrying over me when you look so haggard yourself. I know jail is difficult, but you still have to eat.

The faint trace of concern in his voice shook him. I will.

Yating turned his back. I am leaving.

Gu Rong felt as if he had something else to say too, but he didnt and left just like that.

Take care, Yating, he whispered.

*Flashback ends*

Jun squinted his eyes. I see. So your father is refusing to give up. Such deep father-son bond, he smiled.

Yating was indeed affected by his words. He was worried if Ai would misunderstand him regarding Gu Rongs side over hers. But her gaze didnt show any such disappointment, which made Yating faintly smile with pain.

What I do and what I dont, do you really not care anymore?

Chyou said with understanding, Jun, I know how you feel and trust me, I wont help anybody who is against Ai either. But let me just hear once what he has to say.

Jun pursed his lips.

Ai nodded and held his hand. She is right. Zhu Chyou knows what she is doing. Mr. Gu is his father and family. If he wants to look into the matter a little more, there is nothing wrong with it. Anybody would do that for their family.

Yating trembled. He felt his heart pounding loudly, but it equally thudded with helplessness.

See, Ai? Its things like these you say and do that makes it so difficult for me to give up on you

Jun sighed. Fine. Lets go. But mind you, I dont like you being so understanding towards other men.

Yating balled his fist in a fury.

I will seriously kill this man one day

Ais mouth twitched. She bowed towards Zhu Chyou and smiled. Thank you so much for today. It was fun meeting you.

Chyou grinned. Same here. Though I am sorry I couldnt give you a tour of the set, she lamented. But definitely, next time!

Ai brightened and agreed. Yes!

As Yating and Chyou were left alone, she smiled at him. Please have a seat.

Thanks. I apologize for such short notice.

No problem. My schedule was free anyway after my shooting.

Chyou studied him for sometime, making Yating conscious of her stare. Is there anything on my face?

No. Actuallyyes.

Yating patted all over his face. What is it?

Chyou cleared his throat. Not physically but your eyes.

What?

Well, I know its not my business, but you should move on from Zhou Ai. I can see that you still like her.

He stiffened.

I am not telling this from Jun or Ai or their relationships perspective or implying that you are a threat to them. Its more about your heart.

Yating blinked once. You awfully seem to know my heart too well.

He realized his tone and immediately said, I am sorry. I didnt mean to talk to you that way.

She smiled. I know. I am not offended. I am sorry too. I mean well for you. As for the earlier part, I dont know your heart that well actually, but I could take a guess. You didnt seem to change after the wedding anniversary banquet night.

Wedding anniversary he tilted his head.

Uncle Jinhai and Aunt Nanas wedding anniversary banquet.

Ah, that. Wait, you were there? He clicked his tongue. Stupid question. Liu and Zhu families know each other well, so of course you were there.

Yes, and I saw you at the banquet.

He nodded. Yup, I was there too.

But I dont think you recognize me.

Sorry, I dont think I understand you.

Chyou chuckled. I think I know why Uncle Gu told you to meet me.

Because you have awesome skills as a hacker. Dad told me.

Thats a part of it, yes. But mainly, I think he wanted to set us up.

Huh?

Didnt he ask you that night that he wanted you to meet somebody?

Yating stared at her. He faintly had a recollection that Gu Rong was indeed insisting him to meet somebody at the banquet. But he was too furious after their argument and had no interest in meeting anybody. Plus, he also thought that they might be some business associates, so he had further no interest at all.

Yes. I think he said something along those lines.

Chyou smiled. Well, that person he wanted you to meet was me.
