Especially when Gu Zichen stepped in front of her.
Wen Mian was so surprised she didn't know what to do. By the time she looked up again, she saw Du Weizhe being chastised by Gu Zichen.
But the man didn't care at all and didn't think his actions today were anything remarkable.
Meanwhile,
Having just left the scene, Du Weizhe was seething with anger.
He had planned to ask Wen Mian about the situation, but, unexpectedly, he had lost face in front of Gu Zichen.
The man took a deep breath, his eyes anxious and burning.
But amidst the whirlwind of emotions, Du Weizhe quickly dialed Pei Zhiyao's number.
When in doubt, turning to Pei Zhiyao was definitely the right move.
"President Pei!"
The moment the call connected, Du Weizhe's voice immediately softened.
His previously assertive attitude changed instantly upon meeting Pei Zhiyao.
"President Pei, I need to talk to you about something. You have to take my side."
