C32 Double Standards(part II)

Every word she spoke seemed to subtly remind Bo Yandong that Gu Zhiwei might have overstepped boundaries the previous evening.

Bo Yandong's brows furrowed in an instant. "Miss Gu, are you suggesting I should have someone 'escort' you out?"

Gu Zhiwei's lips curved into a cold smile as she tugged at Bo Yandong's sleeve. "Yandong, don't be upset. My sister has a penchant for making odd remarks. You'll get used to it."

Gu Ruoshan's expression tensed, her lips pressed together as she cast a thoughtful glance at Bo Yandong.

Gu Zhiwei had already gained the upper hand by approaching Bo Yandong first.

If Bo Yandong preferred women who took the initiative, then surely it wouldn't hurt for her to do the same, right?

With that thought, a determined glint crossed Gu Ruoshan's eyes, as though she had reached a significant decision.

"Mr. Bo, Old Mrs. Bo has invited me to dinner at the Bo family's home tonight. I... may I wait for you after work and go together?" she asked, gathering her courage.

The man's brow creased slightly, his cool gaze betraying a flicker of annoyance.

His grandmother had mentioned bringing Gu Zhiwei home for dinner, but she hadn't informed him that Gu Ruoshan would be joining as well.

He was about to decline when his phone suddenly rang. It was Old Mrs. Bo calling.

"My dear grandson, no overtime tonight. Come home early for dinner, and don't forget to bring Gu Zhiwei along. Grandma wants to see her," she said.

Bo Yandong's lips tightened as his icy gaze met Gu Zhiwei's eyes, seemingly seeking her consent.

Gu Zhiwei, standing close enough to overhear the conversation, nonchalantly arched an eyebrow and gave a slight nod.

Only then did Bo Yandong respond in a soft tone, "Alright."

"Great! Grandma will be waiting for you both!" the old lady exclaimed with excitement. "Oh, and pick up Ruoshan on your way. Grandma remembers her school is right next to your office, isn't it?"

"Yes," he answered tersely.

After ending the call, he glanced at his watch and turned to Gu Zhiwei, "I have a meeting to attend. Please wait for me here."

"Yes," Gu Zhiwei said with a faint smile, "See you later."

Bo Yandong gave a slight nod, bypassed Gu Ruoshan, and exited the office without sparing her a single glance.

Once he had left, an eerie silence fell over the spacious office. Gu Zhiwei turned lazily and stretched out on the sofa.

Knock, knock, knock!

The door was rapped upon. Lee Qiang stood at the threshold, holding a black gift box. "Miss Gu, Mr. Bo has prepared some clothes for you."

Gu Zhiwei, unsurprised, raised her eyes lazily and invited, "Come in."

Considering she was about to visit the Bo family, her current dress was clearly inappropriate. Bo Yandong had thoughtfully anticipated this.

Lee Qiang entered, holding the elegant gift box, and approached Gu Ruoshan. "Mr. Bo had this outfit purchased especially for you. He wants you to wear it to the Bo family's home."

Gu Ruoshan stood up, flustered and incredulous. "You... You haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

Lee Qiang nodded with conviction, "Of course not."

An hour earlier, Mr. Bo had instructed him to buy a sophisticated dress for Miss Gu, mentioning it was for a family dinner. And who else could Miss Gu be, if not Miss Ruoshan? Surely not Gu Zhiwei, with her notorious reputation and questionable morals?

Frankly, Lee Qiang was baffled as to why Mr. Bo would allow such an infamous woman into his office. Didn't he worry about contaminating the very air of the space?

Sensing Lee Qiang's contemptuous look, Gu Zhiwei arched an eyebrow, "Are you certain that Miss Gu refers to Gu Ruoshan?"
