C323 Too Nervous

What awaited her was what kind of revenge Gu Zhengchu would have. Tao Ning never thought about it. To her, what she could do before the storm came was to conserve energy and wait with full spirit.

Since fear could not help her escape Gu Zhengchu's evil clutches, then why not greet him calmly?

However, Gu Zhengchu was not a person who would play by the rules. Although Tao Ning already knew about it long ago, he was still exposed the day before. When he returned to normal the next day to wake her up to eat, Tao Ning was still in a daze for a moment.

Could it be that he wanted to poison the food and torture her to death? Tao Ning looked at the nutritious breakfast in front of her and frowned slightly.

"Why aren't you moving? You didn't eat last night and you are still not hungry?" Gu Zhengchu raised his eyebrows and looked at her. There was obvious displeasure in his eyes.

"Do you still remember that I didn't eat last night?" It was rare that he didn't avoid it at all.

"Do you think my memory is that bad?" Being questioned, Gu Zhengchu put down his chopsticks and looked at Tao Ning in a straight posture. "You are not eating now. What do you want to say?"

"I don't want to say anything." Tao Ning muttered in a low voice. She was not used to Gu Zhengchu's change. She wondered if he would poison her food, but she found it funny when she thought about it. Didn't he want to eat at the table too?

Even if he wanted to kill her, he had many ways. There was no need to secretly poison her with such inferior methods, right?

"Then why aren't you eating?" Gu Zhengchu's voice was cold as he stared at her with a fierce light in his eyes.

Tao Ning did not reply and quietly picked up her chopsticks. She was prepared to stick to the plan from last night to the end. First, she wanted to raise her spirit and then talk. She did not care what kind of storm it brought.

She did not argue with him and did not go against him. Instead, she ate obediently. Tao Ning suddenly became so obedient. It was also Gu Zhengchu's surprise that she became so obedient. However, seeing that she was willing to listen, the sulk in his heart dissipated.

After dinner, he went out for a walk as usual and brought a lot of bodyguards as usual. Everything was normal, there was no change at all. However, she really couldn't figure it out. After she confessed to Gu Zhengchu, how did he continue to maintain his previous relationship with her?

Could it be that he wanted to use this to move her, make her change her mind, and then take back the shares that she had given her big brother?

This should be the only way, right? Otherwise, what other reason would there be? However, if it really was because of this reason, then he really was too naive.

She was no longer the Tao Ning of the past. She was so easy to deceive. Furthermore, she had already signed a contract with her big brother to let go of the shares. She would never be able to get back the shares. This was something Du Kai had specially reminded her before she had pressed her hand seal. He had done so to make her understand.

However, she did not regret it. No matter what Gu Zhengchu did, she would not make this decision.

When she thought of Du Kai, Tao Ning did not expect Du Kai to appear in front of her immediately. His car drove all the way over. Gu Zhengchu and his bodyguards immediately raised their vigilance and came over.

Gu Zhengchu immediately pulled her behind him, opened his arms, and protected her like an eagle. A pair of cold eyes stared at the car that was coming towards them. Although he did not see clearly who it was, he already treated it as an enemy.

The bodyguards beside him were on high alert. They felt that everyone was ready at all times. They just waited for the car to stop and that person would only get out of the car. Before he could do anything, he would be captured immediately.

He really didn't expect that the method Fei Aoting used to save her last time would actually make Gu Zhengchu pay special attention to it. It was even to the extent that he was always on guard. If Fei Aoting still used this method, it definitely would not work. But Tao Ning knew that Fei Aoting would not use this move because they had already discussed it beforehand. Unless she indicated, Fei Aoting would not take any action.

Therefore, she expected that this car would directly drive past them, making Gu Zhengchu and those bodyguards nervous for nothing. But who would have thought that the car would stop in front of her? After the door was opened, the people who walked out of the car were even more familiar with each other.

"Miss Jiyue." Du Kai only called out once, but before he could get close to Tao Ning, the bodyguard had already stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, to support his shoulders, making him unable to break free.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and let go!" Tao Ning saw that he was anxious and angry, and quickly shouted at the two people. Who would have thought that the two people did not care about her at all, and only listened to Gu Zhengchu. Tao Ning could only turn her head and glare at Gu Zhengchu, "Immediately ask your people to let go of Lawyer Du."

"Let him go? Let him take you away, right?" Gu Zhengchu raised his eyebrows and cast a sidelong glance at Tao Ning. His eyes were filled with anger.

"How did you know he came to save me?" Tao Ning rolled her eyes. "Even if Lawyer Du wanted to save me, he wouldn't come alone, right?"

He had always thought that he was very smart. He could not even think of such a simple reason.

"That's true. He came alone. He is overestimating himself!" Gu Zhengchu curled his lips and revealed a mocking smile.

Judging from the current situation, not to mention saving Tao Ning, even if this Du Kai wanted to talk to Tao Ning, he had to get his permission. What else did he have to worry about?

Gu Zhengchu raised his chin and gave the two bodyguards a look before Du Kai was put down.

Du Kai's face was calm as he let go of his arm that was hurt. An angry voice came from his nose. When Du Kai looked up at Tao Ning and took a step towards her, Gu Zhengchu immediately stepped forward and blocked between the two of them.

"Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because I asked someone to let you go." Gu Zhengchu glared at Du Kai and warned him coldly.

"I just want to say a few words to Miss Jiyue." Du Kai's expression was very ugly, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart.

Gu Zhengchu had a lot of people, so he was not a match for him at all. He could not use force. Besides, this was not his purpose for coming here.

"If you have anything to say, just say it." After saying that, Gu Zhengchu lowered his head and tidied up his sleeves. He didn't want to move aside, so he insisted on stopping between Du Kai and Tao Ning.

"I have already said that I want to speak to Miss Jiyue, not to you." Du Kai clearly expressed strong dissatisfaction with his attitude.

"I have also said it. If you have anything to say, just say it. Otherwise, leave immediately." Not only did Gu Zhengchu not back down, his attitude became even more unyielding.

If this stalemate continued, Du Kai, who was at a disadvantage, would definitely be at a disadvantage. Thinking of this, Tao Ning quickly took two steps forward. Although Gu Zhengchu reached out his hand to stop her in time, he still pulled the distance between the two of them.

"Lawyer Du, why did you come to find me?" Tao Ning could not be bothered to argue with Gu Zhengchu anymore. She was more concerned about why Du Kai came to find her.

"I came to find Miss Jiyue for two things." Du Kai nodded. He looked up at Gu Zhengchu and said, "The first thing is to make sure that Miss Jiyue is safe."
