Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Because I Want to See Her By My Side

She might be speaking a foreign language, but Long Yubei still conversed with her in the language of Country S, "Of course, I know your work capability. You’re welcome to join anytime."

"That’s great." Shu Ya smiled sweetly, "Please also notify your company’s HR department for me. Are you going to the company now? Can I join you? I’d like to settle the job matters swiftly to feel more at ease."

"I am about to head there, let’s go together."

The three of them almost stood up at the same time. Gu Lili didn’t like this female classmate of Long Yubei’s. From the moment she entered, her gaze had been fixated on her husband. Long Yubei kept speaking the local dialect, yet she persisted in speaking English, despite being fully capable of speaking the language of Country S.

"I just got back from abroad and haven’t bought a car yet, I came here by taxi. Can I ride with you?"

Long Yubei nodded, "Sure."

Upon reaching the garage, he said, "Wait here, I’ll bring the car out."

"Alright."

Gu Lili stayed silent, carrying her bag and waiting for Long Yubei to drive out.

When the car came out, she still hadn’t moved when Shu Ya opened the passenger door and got in directly.

At that moment, Gu Lili no longer wanted to go to the company with Long Yubei.

She turned and left.

Seeing her leave, Long Yubei quickly got out of the car, hurried to her and grabbed her wrist, "Wife."

"Just go, I’m not going today."

Long Yubei knew she was upset, "I’ll have her sit in the back."

Without further explanation, he insisted on pulling her back. Gu Lili did not resist.

"You go sit in the back; this is my wife’s seat."

"Ah, your wife is going too? I thought she wasn’t. Sorry," Shu Ya hurriedly got out and took a seat in the back.

Gu Lili sat down and fastened her seatbelt.

Long Yubei looked at Gu Lili beside him and suddenly laughed.

Gu Lili, annoyed, said, "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing."

"Long Yubei, I heard that Mo Lingqi’s girlfriend and child are here with you, in your care," Shu Ya said from the back.

"Yes."

"So much time has passed, I wonder if Mo Lingqi can still return. It’s really fate playing tricks," Shu Ya remarked with emotion, "Are you still helping to search?"

"Yes, just no clues."

"..."

Afterwards, they discussed work-related matters. Gu Lili listened uninterestedly and immersed herself joyfully in playing games on her phone.

Upon reaching the office, Gu Lili went to his office first, while Long Yubei took Shu Ya to the HR department and arranged a job that suited his expertise.

"I really thank you. Because of you, there was less waiting and more convenience. Let’s have lunch together at noon, my treat."

"No thanks, I’ll be having lunch with my wife, she prefers not to dine with outsiders."

Shu Ya felt somewhat disappointed, "Well... okay, but why does your wife come to the company with you? Doesn’t she trust you?"

"It’s my request, because I want to see her by my side."

Long Yubei turned and left, leaving Shu Ya standing there, her smile fading.

"Was this idea to handle your aunt’s matter yours?" Mr. Gu stared at his son across from him and questioned, "Did you partner with her to do this?"

"Dad, do you have any evidence that proves I partnered with her? Just because I know her?"

"I’ve thought it over, and I still think it’s highly likely," Mr. Gu speculated, "Your aunt has never been in such a comatose state before; it must be related to you. Let me tell you Xichen, don’t think for a moment that your recent actions at the company can escape my eyes."
