Chapter 720 Helping You Also Helping You

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, I'll wait for you in private room 1202 of the Aegean restaurant."

A text message from an unfamiliar number suddenly appeared on Lin Jiayi's phone.

Aegean restaurant?Isn't that next to the charity dinner tomorrow night?
Then her intuition told her that this text message was the strange man she met in the bathroom on the night of the engagement, including the call from him.

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Lin Jiayi asked Xu Shuyi to go home because she wanted to drink rib soup. She took off her hospital gown, changed into her own clothes, put on a baseball cap and a mask, and was afraid of being recognized, so she took off her coat again. The hat was put on a baseball cap and a pair of glasses without lenses. Then he came out of the ward, lowered the hat, avoided the surrounding eyes, and entered the elevator.

Xu Shuyi treasures Lin Jiayi's daughter very much, so she blocked the news after Lin Jiayi was hospitalized. So far, no media has heard about Lin Jiayi's hospitalization.

Besides the hospital, Lin Jiayi hailed a taxi on the side of the road.

It's not the rush hour for commuting now, so we can drive unimpeded all the way, and we will arrive at the Aegean Restaurant in 10 minutes.

Lin Jiayi entered the restaurant and went straight to private room 1202.

Standing at the door of private room 1202, he didn't go in right away, but put his hand on the doorknob, hesitated for a few seconds, and then pushed the door open.

Gu Chengchao sat on the black leather chair in the private room, raised his legs, and rested his right hand on the side of the sofa, with an unlit cigar between his fingers.

"Here we come." Hearing footsteps, Gu Chengchao said.

"You..." Lin Jiayi walked in, met Gu Chengchao's eyes, and felt that these eyes were familiar, so she asked, "Where have I met you?"

Gu Chengchao said: "I attended the engagement dinner between you and Nan Yufeng, no, it should be said that it was the engagement dinner between Nan Yufeng and Xianwei." There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone when he corrected it.

Although Lin Jiayi was unhappy when she heard this, she didn't meet Gu Chengchao at the engagement dinner.

Then she sat on the sofa opposite Gu Chengchao, tilting her head and thinking carefully.

Gu Chengchao didn't interrupt Lin Jiayi's thoughts, lit the cigar, took a puff, and slowly exhaled the smoke.

After a few seconds, Lin Jiayi suddenly looked at Gu Chengchao with a face full of shock. She remembered that she had seen Gu Chengchao in Nan Yuhua's room. There was a photo album in Nan Yuhua's room. A few group photos are of Nan Yuhua and a strange man. Looking at the background of the photo, it is a photo from 20 years ago.

That strange man is Gu Chengchao. The current Gu Chengchao has changed from the Gu Chengchao 20 years ago, but the change is not that great.In particular, Gu Chengchao's eyes are very special, and he can't forget the feeling after just looking at them.

She still remembered that she asked Xu Shuyi specifically, and Xu Shuyi said that when Nan's Group was in economic crisis, Nan Yuhua had a boyfriend at the time, but they broke up without knowing what happened.After that, Nan Yuhua ran the company and raised Nan Yufeng alone, never thinking about personal issues.

Could it be that Gu Chengchao was Nan Yuhua's first love?
But what did Gu Chengchao want her for?The two of them didn't have any intersection, nor had they met each other.

Lin Jiayi stared at Gu Chengchao, and asked half-believingly: "The stranger who stopped me at the bathroom door was you, right? The person who called me was also you, right?"

"En." Gu Chengchao nodded.

"It's really you? Then why did you help me? We don't know each other."

"Helping you is also helping me."
