Suddenly, the ambiguous moments they shared last night at the hotel surfaced in his mind.
They were just one step away from something more.
He and Chen Fang were probably about to get involved with each other.
All along, these photos had been Feng Dongliang's means of threatening her.
It was also the fear of these photos being seen by others that had made Gu Jingshu endure in silence for many years.
Luckily, now only Chen Fang had seen them, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
"Can you tell me how you got these photos?"
Gu Jingshu asked.
Chen Fang smiled and said, "Don't blame others. If you must blame someone, blame Feng Dongliang for having 'Cao Mengde Syndrome.'"
"Cao Mengde Syndrome, what's that? Is it serious?"
Gu Jingshu was stunned for a moment.
Chen Fang chuckled and said, "Director Gu, what do you think Cao Mengde likes the most?"
"Married women?"
"Feng Dongliang, this guy, has the same problem. Of all people to provoke, he dared to mess with the notorious old scar in Changming County. Isn't that seeking death? I merely had someone catch them in the act and took photos of the scene, which forced him to hand over these photos. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to touch a woman for the rest of his life."
Fight fire with fire.
Gu Jingshu also fiercely let out a sigh of relief.
But how did Chen Fang know so much?
Just as she wanted to ask this question, the door to the office was suddenly pushed open with a bang.
The director's office.
Barging in just like that?
Just as Gu Jingshu frowned, ready to lose her temper, she saw who was coming in and her anger dissipated immediately.
"No manners, don't you know to knock before entering?"
Chen Fang turned around and saw, to his surprise, a stunning beauty.
The woman looked to be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with long straight black hair and a pure, ethereal beauty that immediately reminded him of the "fairy sister" from Jin Yong's novels.
In stark contrast to her appearance,
was her attire.
Her upper body was clad only in a tube top, with her shoulders and belly button exposed.
On the lower body, she wore an ultra-short skirt.
Her straight, slender legs were extremely eye-catching; just one glance was enough to make it hard to look away.
"What? Did I interrupt something good?"
The woman smirked playfully, her eyes sweeping over Chen Fang before swiftly shifting away.
"Nonsense! His name is Chen Fang, and he's my subordinate,"
Gu Jingshu retorted angrily.
The woman was taken aback.
She walked around Chen Fang and said, "Quite handsome, just my cousin's type."
"You little rascal, keep spouting nonsense and I'll tear your mouth apart,"
she said, then pulled out a set of keys from her pocket and threw them over; the woman caught them mid-air.
"Don't mind her, Chen Fang. My cousin, Wen Mei, always behaves without restraint. She just came to get the keys."
"You're the one who's unrestrained. Bye, handsome, hope to see you again."
With that,
Wen Mei made a face at Gu Jingshu and quickly ran off.
"Isn't my cousin adorable?"
After Wen Mei left, Gu Jingshu asked somewhat boastfully.
Chen Fang nodded.
Thoughtful.
He said, "She's very beautiful, a real beauty indeed, but it's a pity..."
Gu Jingshu was taken aback.
She asked, "A pity what?"
"Director Gu, I might as well be direct. There's no denying your cousin's beauty, and I'm sure she has plenty of admirers, but she is naturally cold, which is an illness that needs treatment!"
"How do you know that?"
Gu Jingshu was startled.
She immediately stood up.
She and Wen Mei had grown up together since they were young. Although they were cousins, they were closer than sisters.
Wen Mei had indeed told her before.
She had no interest in men whatsoever.
Because of this,
Gu Jingshu had even found some adult films for her to watch and had even taken her to bars to find male models, but she was still uninterested.
At 25, she hadn't had a boyfriend and was naturally still a virgin.
Chen Fang smiled faintly and said, "Don't forget, Gu, my parents are both masters of traditional Chinese medicine. I've learned the basics from a young age, and although I'm not an expert, I know a thing or two."
Indeed.
Chen Zhiguo's medical skills were among the best in Wen'an City. Many provincial and ministerial-level leaders came to him by reputation.
Having grown up in such an environment, Chen Fang naturally wouldn't be lacking.
"Is there still a cure?"
Gu Jingshu asked.
Chen Fang paused for a moment, and then said, "The treatment isn't very difficult, but your cousin might not be able to accept the process. If she really wants to be treated, I can try."
"That would be great, I'll talk to my cousin tonight."
Gu Jingshu said excitedly.
After work, Gu Jingshu pushed open the door to her bedroom.
Wen Mei was only wearing underwear, sitting in front of the computer fiddling around.
Gu Jingshu said with distaste, "Haven't I told you to wear pajamas at home?"
"Why should I wear pajamas when there are no men around, are you jealous because mine are bigger than yours?"
Wen Mei looked at her chest and said with an embarrassed smile.
"Silly girl, what's the use of being just big? You're too timid to even let a man touch you; it's a waste."
With that said,
The smile on Wen Mei's face disappeared instantly.
"Sis, can you please not bring up what should not be mentioned? Besides, will I die without a man?"
"I found a way to treat it, do you want to try it?"
Gu Jingshu asked.
Wen Mei stopped what she was doing.
Big Eye blinked and asked, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. It's Chen Fang, who you met in my office today. His parents are famous traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. He said treating your condition is simple."
Gu Jingshu said eagerly.
Wen Mei quickly waved her hands, saying, "No, no, having a man treat this kind of condition, I can't accept that."
"Didn't you say you wanted to know what that pleasure feels like? I'm telling you, that pleasure is the most amazing in the world, and once you've tried it, you won't be able to stop. Surely you don't want to stay a virgin your whole life, do you?"
Gu Jingshu's words finally made Wen Mei hesitate.
She thought for a few minutes.
Finally, she nodded her head.
She said, "Okay then, arrange a time with him to discuss the treatment."
"No need to arrange a time, I've already brought him here, he's in the living room now."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Just as Wen Mei reached for the clothes on the bed, Gu Jingshu stopped her, saying, "No need to dress, Chen Fang said that the treatment process does not require clothes."
"Ah? Naked? Won't he see everything then?"
Wen Mei shivered.
Gu Jingshu's face flushed, and she whispered, "I've already been seen by him, what are you afraid of?"
After saying this,
She explained the whole story behind the photo once again.
After listening, Wen Mei gave Gu Jingshu a cold look and said, "Who else would drag her sister down like this? Absolutely inhuman!"
Having said that, she boldly opened the bedroom door.
Chen Fang, who was still a bit restrained while sitting on the couch, was thinking about how to persuade Wen Mei when she came out.
Chen Fang just took one look at her, and his eyes widened.
