Chapter 139 - Forced Into This Role (1) (1/2)

The assistant had started the engine and stepped on the gas pedal. At that instruction, he slammed on the brakes and the car screeched to a halt. The inertia threw Gu Yu forward, and his head almost hit against the back of the front seat.

The assistant’s heart trembled as he apologized timidly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Gu. It was my mistake.”

Gu Yu frowned, but he didn’t pursue the matter. In fact, the corners of his lips turned up imperceptibly as he leaned back gracefully on the seat and said, “Drive.”

The assistant sighed at having gotten away with this infraction. However, the business dinner tonight was with people from the government. It had already been postponed twice. Wasn’t postponing it a third time a bad idea?

What on earth was so urgent back at the apartment that Mr. Gu had to return home right away?

At that thought, the assistant steeled himself and asked, “Mr. Gu, do you mean to postpone tonight’s business dinner again?”

“Yeah.”

“And… what should I tell them?”

The previous two times, he had explained that Mrs. Gu had fallen ill, and Mr. Gu had to be by her side. After all, it was a matter of Mrs. Gu’s health. The other party had been considerate and understanding about it.

Gu Yu glanced at him and replied, “Tell them I’m accompanying my wife.” After a pause, he added, “For dinner.”

“The assistant was left speechless.

Fine! The CEO could do as he pleased! He didn’t even need to come up with a legitimate reason. Whether it was to take care of her while she was ill or accompany her for dinner, his wife was his top priority! To hell with the business dinners! They weren’t important at all to him!

The assistant did not dare to offer his opinion when it came to matters concerning Xu Weilai. Keeping his emotions in check, he stepped on the gas pedal and drove off!

By the time Xu Weilai broke out of her reverie, Mrs. Lin had already headed into the kitchen happily to prepare dinner. However, Xu Weilai couldn’t help but feel apprehensive.
