As soon as Gu Tingshen spoke, I felt the atmosphere around me grow tenser by two notches, and turning around, I saw Master Zhao's face darken.
My heart skipped a beat, clearly, Master Zhao's expression meant that he was related to Ning Long's misfortune, hence his displeasure with Gu Tingshen's probing.
No, if it were related to Cheng Yu, he would have had the same reaction, after all, Cheng Yu is now Zhao Mengxi's fiancé, and they're family.
I took a deep breath and glanced at Cheng Yu, but his face showed no sign of anything unusual, leaving me puzzled.
"Director Gu, wherever you've heard these groundless rumors, Boss Ning and I have been partners for many years, how could there be any discord? If there truly were a conflict, as the chairman of such a large conglomerate, why would I have to worry or fear offending him? If we disagreed, I wouldn't even host a banquet for him," Master Zhao spoke with a smile, though it didn't reach his eyes.
