Chapter 54 The Woman Who Was Jealous

  Ever since Lin San became the head of the security department, Gao Xue often ran to the office to "pay respects", either serving fruit to Lin San or making tea for him, and occasionally even helping Lin San clean up the office. Gao Xue seemed to have become Lin San's personal nanny.

  Lin San took a few sips of tea and looked up to see Gao Xue still standing opposite him, not leaving. He couldn't help but ask: "Secretary Gao, is there anything else?"

  "Ah, Director Lin, I don't know if you're free tonight, but I'd like to invite you out for dinner." Gao Xue said with a smile.

  "Uh..." Lin San was taken aback: "Secretary Gao, I'm going home tonight..."

  "Director Lin, just give me some face, I...I have something to tell you." Seeing that Lin San was about to refuse, Gao Xue suddenly said anxiously.

  Lin San hesitated for a moment, nodded and agreed. Gao Xue was a girl and also a colleague in the same department, Lin San didn't want to refuse her too much, it's just dinner, no big deal.

  Seeing Lin San agreed, Gao Xue immediately smiled happily: "After work in the evening, I'll wait for you downstairs." After finishing speaking, she turned around and ran out of the office.

  Looking at Gao Xue's departing back, Lin San touched his chin, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

  Time flies quickly, and it's already time to get off work.

  Lin San gathered his things and walked out of the office door.

  Many people along the way vied to greet Lin San, and Lin San responded with a smile one by one.

  Lin San walked out of the building and found Gao Xue already standing at the entrance. At this time, Gao Xue had changed into a new set of clothes, wearing a pink wide-necked shirt with long sleeves on top, and a pair of blue jeans that tightly wrapped around her plump legs. She was wearing a pair of red high-heeled shoes on her feet, and carrying a delicate small bag on her arm. The whole person looked exceptionally beautiful.

  "Director Lin, you're out," said Gao Xue, coming over to greet him.

  "Have you been waiting for long?"

  "No, I just came down too, Director Lin, let's go." Gao Xue invited.

  Lin San nodded and followed Gao Xue to the side of the road, planning to hail a taxi.

  Gao Xue was in a good mood, chatting non-stop with Lin San, who listened with a smile and occasionally interjected a few words.

  "Lin San!" A woman's voice suddenly came from behind.

  Lin San was stunned, turned around, and found Gu Jialan standing at the entrance of the building. Lin San hurriedly walked over: "Miss Gu, do you have something to look for me?"

  Gao Xue also walked over and greeted Gu Jialan with respect.

  Gujalan glanced at Gao Xue and Lin San, asking: "How did you two end up together?"

  "Oh, Secretary Gao invited me out for a meal and we left together after work," Lin San explained.

  Gao Xue nodded slightly on one side.

  "Eat?" Gu Jialan frowned, her face looking a bit unpleasant.

  At this time, a brand new Mercedes-Benz drove slowly over, and the driver got out of the car, opened the door, and invited Gu Jialan to get in.

  Gujalan glanced at Lin San and walked into the Mercedes-Benz with a gloomy face.

  The driver got into the driver's seat, closed the door, and slowly drove the Mercedes away.

  Several security guards were following closely behind in an off-road vehicle.

  "Director Lin, let's go too." Gao Xue said after Gu Jialan left.

  "Good." Lin nodded and followed Gao Xue to the side of the road, where they hailed a taxi and left.

  Inside Mercedes-Benz car.

  Gujalan sat in a comfortable seat, frowning tightly.

  The driver drove while carefully observing Gulan through the rearview mirror.

  "Stop!" Gu Jialan suddenly shouted.

  "Screech!" The driver instinctively slammed on the brakes, and the Mercedes-Benz came to an abrupt stop at the side of the road.

  The off-road vehicle following behind also stopped in a hurry, the door opened, and several security guards jumped out of the car and walked towards the Mercedes-Benz.

  "Turn back and go." Gu Jialan instructed expressionlessly.

  The driver didn't say a word and turned the car around, driving back the way they came.

  Several security guards who had just gotten out of the car immediately returned to the off-road vehicle and quickly chased after the Mercedes-Benz. Their duty was to protect Gu Jiaran's safety, as for where Gu Jiaran wanted to go, it wasn't something the security guards could concern themselves with.

  The Benz car soon arrived in front of the Ding Sheng Group building.

  Gu Jialan rolled down the car window and happened to see Lin San and Zhang Xiaomei leaving in a taxi.

  "Get in that taxi." Gu Jialan said word by word, her tone somewhat chilly.

  The driver immediately stepped on the accelerator and chased after Lin San's taxi.

  Half an hour later, the Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of a restaurant. Just then, Lin San and Zhang Xiaomei got out of the taxi and walked into the restaurant laughing and chatting.

  The restaurant is not very large, with 2 floors, a typical flavor snack bar. At this time, the hall was filled with guests, and the business of the restaurant seemed to be good.

  The driver turned his head and asked cautiously: "Miss Gu, where are we going next?"

  Gu Jialan's face was calm and expressionless, she didn't say a word, just stared intently at the entrance of the restaurant.

  The driver saw Gu Jialan's unpleasant expression, and instinctively closed his mouth, turned off the engine, and sat honestly in the car.

  An hour has passed.

  Gu Jialan remained still, staring intently at the entrance of the restaurant, silent.

  The driver licked his lips and thought to himself: What's wrong with this little girl, not going home but instead standing in front of this small restaurant, it's really inexplicable.

  Several security guards who were protecting Gu Jiaran got out of the off-road vehicle and surrounded the Mercedes-Benz, vigilantly watching the situation around them.

  Suddenly, Gu Jialan raised an eyebrow and pushed open the car door to get out.

  The driver was startled and hastily followed suit by getting off the car as well.

  Gujalan stared at the restaurant entrance, where a couple was pulling and tugging at each other. His face looked extremely ugly: "Lin San!" Indeed, the man and woman struggling at the entrance were Lin San and Gao Xue, who had just come out of the restaurant after eating their fill.

  Gao Xue was very enthusiastic today, constantly drinking with Lin San, and the two of them finished off a whole bottle of white wine. Although the degree wasn't very high, both of them had a few points of intoxication. After chatting for a while in the private room, Gao Xue settled the bill and left the restaurant with Lin San. It's unclear if Gao Xue was drunk or not, but his body kept leaning into Lin San's arms, and Lin San reached out to support Gao Xue's shoulders.

  Lin San supported the floating footsteps of Gao Xue, slowly walking towards the side of the road, just about to hail a taxi, when he suddenly heard someone calling him. Lin San turned his head and was stunned, seeing two cars parked not far away, one was a Mercedes-Benz and the other was an off-road vehicle, Gu Jialan in a black cheongsam was standing beside the Mercedes-Benz, surrounded by several bodyguards.

  Lin San rubbed his eyes hard and confirmed that he was not hallucinating. Gu Jialan was indeed standing in front of him.

  At this time, Gao Xue also discovered Gu Jialan, and subconsciously stood up straight from Lin San's arms, saying in surprise: "Miss Gu?"

  Gu Jialan slowly walked towards Lin San, her eyebrows furrowed and her face ashen.

  "Miss Gu, you... how did you end up here?" Lin San asked in surprise.

  Gu Jialan sneered: "What? I didn't come at the right time, disturbing your good things?" As she spoke, Gu Jialan coldly swept a glance at Gao Xue.

  Gao Xue's body trembled with a chill, just now, Gao Xue clearly felt that Gu Jialan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

  Seeing Gu Jialan's angry face, Lin San was a bit puzzled. Gu Jialan seemed fine, why would she be angry? Was it something he did? No way, these past two days, he hadn't done anything to make Gu Jialan unhappy.

  Gujalan took a light breath and suppressed the unpleasantness in her heart, looking at Gao Xue with an icy gaze: "You can leave now."

  "Ah?" Gao Xue was stunned.

  "Didn't you hear what I just said?!" Gu Jialan's face sank.

  "I heard... I heard..." Gao Xue snapped back to reality, hastily nodding her head, glanced at Lin San, and quickly turned around to leave in a hurry.

  Lin San opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but after seeing Gu Jialan's iron-green face, he swallowed the words back.

  "What? You drove away Gao Xue and now you're heartbroken?" Gu Jialan sneered.

  Lin San smiled and said, "Miss Gu, what you're saying... Gao Xue and I are not related, why would I be heartbroken?" Lin San was confused by Gu Jialan, what had happened, and why was Gu Jialan being so cold to him?

  "Follow me!" Gu Jialan threw out a sentence and turned around to get into the Mercedes-Benz.

  Lin San hesitated for a moment, opened another car door and sat down beside Gu Jialan.

  Gu Jialan didn't even look at Lin San and directly instructed the driver to go to the seaside.

  The driver nodded and drove the Mercedes-Benz towards the seaside.

  Ten minutes later.

  The Mercedes-Benz car stopped by the sea.

  Gujalan got out of the car and walked down, instructing the security guard and driver to wait here, then led Lin San alone towards the beach.

  Lin San followed closely behind Gu Jialan, half a step back, and walked while secretly observing Gu Jialan.

  "Are you fond of Gao Xue?" Gu Jialan said suddenly.

  "Huh?... Uh? Who said that?" Lin San initially didn't react in time and almost nodded.

  Gǔ Jiālán stopped in her tracks, turned around, and gazed quietly at Lín Sān: "Isn't that so?" Gāo Xuě was indeed very pretty, with a great figure, and had a certain allure to men. Moreover, Gāo Xuě and Lín Sān were in the same department, seeing each other every day, and it was inevitable that they would develop feelings for each other over time.

  "Of course not, how could I like Gao Xue? It's impossible." Lin San didn't even think about it and directly denied it. What a joke, in front of Gu Jialan, how could Lin San possibly admit to liking another woman?

  "Is what you're saying true?" Gu Jialan's expression softened a bit.

  "I am more genuine than gold, I, Lin San, am not a casual person." Lin San's expression was extremely serious.

  Gu Jialan gazed at Lin San for a moment, then shook her head slightly: "Even if you don't like Gao Xue now, you'll definitely like her later."

  "Huh... Miss Gu, why are you forcing me to admit that I like Gao Xue?" Lin San scratched his head, somewhat puzzled by Gu Jialan's intention.

  "Wooo..." The seawater slowly surged onto the beach, wetting Gu Jialan's skirt and high heels, but Gu Jialan seemed to be unaware of it, still standing alone on the beach.

  Gujalan took a light breath, opened her bright eyes and looked at Lin San, softly saying: "Lin San, I have something hidden in my heart for a long time, never had the chance to tell you, but today I must say it out..."

  Lin San was taken aback: "What's going on?" For no reason, Lin San's heart suddenly started racing, as if he felt that something big was about to happen.
