After rebirth, the paranoid boss dotes on her

The next day, noon.

Inside the hotel.

Gu Jingzhan stood quietly in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, one hand casually inserted in his trouser pocket and the other hand holding a burning cigarette.

Since Xiang Wanqiao's accident, he has been smoking more and more frequently, and even more heavily than before.

So does drinking.

It seemed that only in this way could he relieve the worries in his heart.

Outside the door, Fu Shaoyan pressed the doorbell several times, but there was no response.

Finally, he took out a room card from his pocket and swiped it in.

As the door opened, a strong smell of smoke and alcohol hit me in the face.

Fu Shaoyan couldn't help but frown.

When I got closer, I saw that the ashtray on the table was full of cigarette butts, and there were several empty red wine bottles on the ground.

"You haven't slept all night again?"

Gu Jingzhan suddenly came to his senses, turned around and put the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray and put it out.

His face was haggard, his deep eyes were full of red bloodshot, there was a hint of dark circles under his eyes, and he hadn't changed his clothes.

"I can't sleep." His voice was hoarse and a little tired.

Fu Shaoyan sighed and advised: "Even if you can't sleep, don't torture yourself like this. If you are like this now, your sister-in-law..."

Hearing this, Gu Jingzhan's tall body paused slightly.

Fu Shaoyan suddenly realized something, so he stopped talking and didn't continue.

Then, Gu Jingzhan seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He sank decadently into the sofa, leaned his head back, and slowly closed his eyes.

"It's been almost five months, and I still haven't found her."

At this moment, he was filled with a sense of powerlessness and frustration.

"Mingming... we are already very close, but I still can't find her..."

Fu Shaoyan felt uncomfortable when he saw Gu Jingzhan like this.

He took a long step, sat next to Gu Jingzhan, and encouraged him: "Brother Zhan, don't be discouraged, you will find it eventually."

Gu Jingzhan pursed his lips and remained silent.

Fu Shaoyan suddenly remembered something and said, "Collins will also come to Belgium in the afternoon."

After the words fell, Gu Jingzhan's thin lips moved slightly, and he asked in a low voice: "What is Collins doing here?"

"Collins said that the Linier family is hosting a grand dinner party in their palace tonight. He has received an invitation and got two tickets for us to go with them."

After hearing this, Gu Jingzhan reacted coldly and refused outright: "No, I'm not in the mood."

Fu Shaoyan sighed and asked him unhappily, "Brother Zhan, do you really want to find your sister-in-law?"

Gu Jingzhan still closed his eyes and asked indifferently: "What does attending the banquet have to do with finding Qiaoqiao?"

"The Linere family is the most prestigious noble family in Belgium. Just think about who will be invited to this dinner party?"

Fu Shaoyan reminded him, "How does that saying go? A powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. No matter how powerful you are, aren't you still on someone else's territory?"

Hearing what he said, Gu Jingzhan suddenly opened his eyes.

"What do you think? Are you going or not?" Fu Shaoyan asked.

Gu Jingzhan immediately changed his attitude: "Go."

For Qiao Qiao, no matter how uninterested you are, you have to go!

Night is approaching.

Inside the magnificent palace, majestic crystal chandeliers hang high and the melodious music of the piano floats in the air.

Champagne and red wine sway in crystal glasses, and the air is filled with the aroma of wine.

Collins was familiar with the Linear family, so he led Gu Jingzhan and Fu Shaoyan to shuttle between the Linear family and celebrities from all walks of life.

In this bizarre world of fame and fortune, Gu Jingzhan can be said to be at ease.

He spoke fluent English and walked among the crowd, his every move showing his calmness and grace.

Just as he was having a pleasant conversation, a familiar figure quietly entered his field of vision, causing his heart to tremble.

Xiang Wanqiao was wearing a stunning blue and white porcelain strapless evening gown. Her long hair was tied into a bun with a few strands of hair hanging down gently, and her hair was adorned with a simple hairpin.

It is both dignified and agile, perfectly interpreting the subtlety and elegance of oriental women.

As soon as she appeared on the stage, she became the focus of the whole audience.

In order to match Xiang Wanqiao, Leng Jinxuan wore a white silk tuxedo, which was well-tailored and outlined his tall and slender figure.

At the same time, in order to hide his identity, he wore a silver half mask on his face.

The mask is carved with intricate and exquisite patterns, which adds a sense of mystery.

Under the mask, Leng Jinxuan's eyes were deep and complex, making it difficult to see.

Xiang Wanqiao gently took his arm and walked gracefully into the splendid and dazzling banquet hall.

The moment Gu Jingzhan saw Xiang Wanqiao, who had disappeared for nearly five months, appear before him, his eyes instantly turned red.

His fingertips trembled slightly, and the hand holding the goblet tightened involuntarily, trying his best to maintain his calm appearance.

Fu Shaoyan and Collins were also stunned.

This...she just appeared so beautifully?

The two exchanged a quick, meaningful look.

Charles, the leader of the Linere family, saw his long-lost friend coming and immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Monsi, long time no see."

"Charles, long time no see."

After saying hello, Charles gave Leng Jinxuan a warm hug.

Then, his eyes fell on the beautiful lady next to Leng Jinxuan, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

"Monsi, this beautiful lady is..."

Leng Jinxuan introduced her to him: "This is my fiancée, Wendy."

Xiang Wanqiao smiled gently, "Mr. Charles, nice to meet you."

Charles smiled back like a gentleman, and then praised: "Monsi, your fiancée is very beautiful. I am a little envious."

Leng Jinxuan curled his lips and smiled, then turned to look at Xiang Wanqiao.

Xiang Wanqiao lowered her eyebrows and smiled, with a bit of shyness on her face: "Mr. Charles, you are too kind."

Charles said, "Not at all. Beauty is to be praised."

Leng Jinxuan stretched out his hands and hugged Xiang Wanqiao's slender waist tightly. A sly look flashed across his eyes, and a gentle curve gradually appeared at the corners of his lips.

"I agree with what Charles said."

Xiang Wanqiao smiled sweetly.

Every move between the two of them pierced Gu Jingzhan's eyes.

Seeing them so close, his heart ached and a flame suddenly surged in his scarlet eyes.

Fu Shaoyan noticed that he was in a bad mood and was afraid that he might do something in excitement, so he immediately stepped forward and held his shoulder.

"Brother Zhan, calm down first. What if this isn't your sister-in-law?"

"She is!"

Gu Jingzhan uttered three words through gritted teeth.

"Don't forget, there is a technology in this world called plastic surgery. Have you forgotten about Yunmengxi's matter?"

Fu Shaoyan spoke calmly and reminded him softly in his ear.

"This is most likely a trap carefully set by the other party. You haven't investigated the identity of the man next to her yet. Don't panic."

Collins also stepped forward and advised softly: "Yeah, Zhan, calm down."

Finally, Gu Jingzhan took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.
