Chapter 927
Xiao Yaojing raised her eyebrows in amusement . She drew her arm from his and wrapped it around his neck . “You are my boyfriend, after all . ” She tiptoed so she could whisper it in his ear .
PA Wen intended to step back but he did not want to make it obvious in public . Hence, he grabbed her waist and tightened his grip .
Xiao Yaojing realized that whenever they were outside and around people, he was composed and calm, unlike his cowardly attitude in private .
“Check it out, I think he is Mr . Qiao from Bo Jue Heavy Industries,” someone exclaimed from the hall .
Both PA Wen and Xiao Yaojing turned around at the same time curiously .
Qiao Yi had come with his secretary instead of a plus one .
As PA Wen and Xiao Yaojing exchanged glances, Qiao Yi started walking toward them .
He gazed fell on Xiao Yaojing briefly as he walked up to PA Wen . “Sorry for the inconvenience I caused when the discussion I had with a good friend of mine regarding Mr . Gu spread like wildfire . ”
PA Wen looked down at the hand Qiao Yi had stretched out as a friendly gesture, but he refused to shake it . “I’m glad that you’ve come to realize the consequences . Gossip is a scary thing and as the CEO of a listed company, you should know better . ”
Qiao Yi seemed indifferent at the comment and retracted his hand .
“PA Wen, it seems to me that you are upset,” implied Qiao Yi politely .

“Shouldn’t I be?” PA Wen sneered, “Even though the loss was minimal, those statements from you brought significant damage to Gu Enterprise . Should I not be upset?”
Qiao Yi shrugged his shoulders callously and drawled, “It doesn’t matter what I say, the cat will be out of the bag once Mr . Gu shows up . I don’t see why you have to be so uptight . ”
Upon Qiao Yi’s remark, people started gossiping in whispering murmurs . The elephant in the room was Gu Juexi himself, it was just that he was nowhere to be seen at the moment .
PA Wen’s hands curled into fists but he retained his professional smile . “Is our CEO’s presence really necessary just because of some senseless rumors? True blue never stains . ”
“Also,” Xiao Yaojing spoke up suddenly, “Mr . Qiao, why are you targeting Gu Enterprise out of the blue when you are new in town?”

“Miss, I think you misunderstand, how daring do you think I am to target Gu Enterprise?” Qiao Yi laughed it off, looking innocent .
PA Wen gripped Xiao Yaojing’s arm when he sensed she was in a rage . “I think you know your own intention . I hate to advise you but B City is a big and complex place and you are new here . Ignorance is bliss, and some stones are better left unturned . ”
He grabbed Xiao Yaojing to turn around and leave . He took champagne from a nearby waiter and passed it to her .
“I don’t think he will come, he’s simply sending a PA as a smokescreen,” a lady mocked in a high-pitched voice not far from them .
Xiao Yaojing and PA Wen turned around and saw a small-time actress standing beside a man . Xiao Yaojing recognized her from her unsuccessful seduction attempt on Gu Juexi which had ended up with her scandals being exposed by Gu Juexi instead . It was a wonder she could find a new sugar daddy so soon .

“After all, he is just Gu Juexi’s lackey . ”
As she finished her insult, Xiao Yaojing threw the red wine in her glass onto the woman’s face . “B*tch, you should be grateful that this is not acid . ”
“B*tch, are you crazy? Who knows, probably Gu Juexi is already—”
“Gu Juexi is already what?”
