My Tough Guards

Chapter 232 Dear Mr. Qiu Doesn't Like Me

Gerald's feelings today are complicated.

On one hand, the ability that Robert Qiu displayed, greatly shocked him.

On the other hand, Robert Qiu's change, also greatly made him unable to accept.

People attach great importance to first impressions. Especially school friends. How you look at school, everyone will remember that.

After graduation, even if you experience a big change, but people will get used to the impression you used to and remember you like that.

So, good friends in school days, after graduation will also be your best friends. The enemy will still be your enemy. One circle people, will stay away from the other circle people.

This is human nature, and so is Robert. Robert's change now, not even he understood.

That way, Gerald had to change his impression of Robert Qiu. The way of speaking, also has to be arranged again.

After being clear about it, Gerald just sighed and walked out of the store.

It just so happened that Robert Qiu and Candy Shen had yet to come out, were chatting at the door. Gerald walked up to it and said with a smile, "Robert, you really surprised me today."

"Have caused trouble for you, sorry." Robert Qiu said sincerely.

"Huh, we're friends, why talk like that? Too bad times." Gerald hit Robert Qiu's arm and smiled.

"Yes too." Robert Qiu spoke.

Gerald regained his calm. However, this good friend during school, if you are able to have a better relationship is also a good thing. So he asked with a smile, "Oh yes, where do you live now. I don't know yet. It was during the reunion that I left too soon. I go to your house sometime!"

"I live on the edge of town" replied Robert Qiu. He did not lie, the Mo family villa was indeed on the edge of Jiang Cheng City.

Hearing that Robert Qiu did not mean to say any more details, Gerald understood and did not continue asking any more, just chatting up the topic regarding the school age.

While saying, Gerald's gaze was directed at Candy Shen. His heart seemed to know, inwardly saying, This Robert Qiu is in a row, having a very beautiful girlfriend, "Robert, are you not planning to introduce this beautiful woman?"

"His name is Candy Shen, my coworker." Robert Qiu answered briefly, then explained to Candy Shen, "She's Gerald, my college friend, a rich family boy, a talented person in Jiang Cheng City, has a bright future."

"Hey, Robert, why talk like that." Gerald scratched his head, a little unwell.

"What I'm saying is that everything's true." Robert Qiu smiled.

Gerald smiled, "Yes already, since Robert's judgment is so high against me, I accept it with pleasure."

Candy Shen smiled slightly and the initiative reached out, "Hello, Mr. Niu."

"Hello too, Miss Shen" said Gerald politely, suddenly asking, "Miss Shen, is it just a co-worker with Robert?"

Candy Shen gasped, then said with a smile, "If not?"

Just now Gerald was about to say something, just then the phone in Candy Shen's bag rang. As soon as he saw it, Candy Shen's face involuntarily changed.

"Mr Qiu, Mr. Niu, I got a call first, don't bother you guys with nostalgia." Candy Shen said in an apologetic tone. After Robert Qiu nodded his head, he just went to a place that the two people could not hear, then picked up the phone. Also shut up, not knowing what was said.

Turning his gaze away from Candy Shen, Gerald said with a smile, "Here you go, Robert. Now that it's just the two of us, you're still not being honest about who Miss Shen is to you."

Robert Qiu said helplessly, "It's really not what you think."

"still evasive? If Miss Shen wasn't your fiancee, would you take her to buy a ring? Or ..."

Gerald suddenly turned his back, assessed Robert Qiu from top to bottom, then showed a face of understanding as he said, "Great as well as Robert, are you like that too? Earlier when you cursed the couple, I thought you must have disagreed with the affair. It is not expected that you are cheating too!"

"Don't guess. My fiancee is busy, and I happened to meet Miss Shen. She had time, so I asked her to pick a ring." Robert Qiu explained.

Gerald replied "oh" , drawn long, obviously in disbelief.

Robert Qiu flicked his mouth, "I saw you deliberately making up a lie. Who's my fiancee, when you don't know?"

The matter of Robert Qiu and Alice Mo's marriage, within three days, had already spread to one city, especially in the upper social class, would pay close attention to it. Gerald as the young master of a wealthy family, how may not know this.

While Gerald's reaction, even beyond Robert Qiu's expectations. Gerald asked with a puzzled face, "What? How do I know who your fiance is?"

Gerald thought for a moment, then stroked his chin and said, "What was the reunion time yesterday, you secretly told me? No really. Why don't I remember anymore? Was I drunk?"

Seeing Gerald who was not like he was lying, Robert Qiu reminded, "Finally lately, Jiang Cheng City has a big problem what? Do you know?"

Gerald thought Robert Qiu deliberately distracted himself, then said, "Last month I went out of the country, two days ago just came home. If you ask me, lately abroad there is a big problem what, I would know. But if it's Jiang Cheng City, I really don't know."

Hearing that, Robert Qiu only found out. Gerald had no idea about the marriage between him and Alice Mo, because this boy was out of the country.

Because Gerald did not know, Robert Qiu was lazy to explain, rather than later even asked more. He laughed, but asked no more.

But Gerald was very interested, then smiled and said, "Because you said Miss Shen is not your fiancee, and you have also prepared the engagement ring, surely her H day is near, right?"

"What's? How many more days? This brat, too unfaithful friend of the times. If you don't see you today, don't you plan to tell me?" Gerald said with great displeasure.

"It's not like that." Robert Qiu laughed.

"Quick say. When's? I must have come." Gerald asked again.

"Three more days." Robert Qiu replied.

"Well, I must have ... eh? Three more days?" Gerald seemed to recall something, then said with a frown, "Robert, that day of yours, was also too coincidental!"

Robert Qiu looked at Gerald's predicament and asked, "What's wrong? You have business that day?"

Gerald was a little unwell as he scratched his head, "Ehm, there's a slight problem. I had to attend another engagement event .. Jiang Cheng City's beloved girl, Alice Mo. Do you know this woman? She's just like you, engaged in three days."

"That way, you want to attend the engagement event of Jiang Cheng City's beloved girl, right?" Robert Qiu asked with a strange expression.

Gerald said with a face full of apologies, "Sorry Robert, this is a family-organized event. Precisely because of this engagement event, I only returned two days ago. You might not understand, the Mo Family is one of the four great families in Jiang Cheng City. Our family, as well as many business-related matters, need to rely on the Mo Family. So ..."

Robert Qiu hit Gerald on the shoulder, then said with a face of understanding, "Alright, I understand."

Pausing for a moment, Robert Qiu asked again, "Gerald, I heard that girl is very pretty, is that true?"

"of course. She was a very famous beautiful woman in Jiang Cheng City. The goal of all 40-year-old men in Jiang Cheng City was to marry her. There is also one proverb, 'Effort to make money, marry a beloved girl'! The beloved girl of Jiang Cheng City. Those five words, try to think for yourself." when you say that, Gerald was very happy, but then said sadly, "Unfortunately he's getting married. Time passes by very quickly."

Robert Qiu held back a laugh, "Then you know no, who is his fiancee?"

"If that I don't know, don't find out. The invitation card is also not written." Gerald said with a bitter laugh, "Because the next three days, are the birthday of the girl. Announce the news of the engagement. So the content of the invitation is 'Inviting the guests to attend the birthday party'. But it seems like everyone already knows, this Mo Family is willing to announce the happy news."

"so." Robert Qiu nodded. Gerald knew nothing.

"Robert, how about like this. After I attended the Mo Family's engagement event, I went straight to your event, huh?" Gerald made a proposal.

Robert Qiu shook his head, "No need. I'm glad you had that intention. If my guess is not wrong, your duty in the Mo Family engagement event, is not limited to just coming, right? Still have to talk, talk about business, discuss cooperation, etc., where can you go?"

"You know that too?" Gerald's surprised.

Robert Qiu's heart was happy, the sense of keeping a big secret like this, it was exciting.

Right now, Candy Shen has finished calling and walked over. Candy Shen asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?"

"While chatting about you, Miss Shen." Gerald's eyes were turned, "Robert is very cunning. Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with Robert?"

"Including ... co-workers?" Candy Shen asked in confusion. He was the receptionist at the front desk of the large Mo Company, whereas Robert Qiu was the director of the economic section. Although their status is somewhat different, but including coworkers are also.

"Both of you, isn't it a relationship in that part?" Gerald asked doubtfully.

Candy Shen's face blushed, then she stroked her hair and said, "I also want to, unfortunately Mr. Qiu doesn't like me."

"Ckckck, Robert, you are also too unable to appreciate the scenery." seeing that Robert Qiu's facial expression did not change in the slightest, Gerald sighed.

After chatting for a few more words, Gerald returned to the store to take care of his work.

"Are you okay?" Robert Qiu asked with concern to Candy Shen.

After Candy Shen received the call, her face became not too kind, a little pale, as if being startled by something. Hearing Robert Qiu ask like that, Candy Shen smiled forcefully, "Ba .. good."

Not long after, there were several black sedan cars stopped in front of the jewelry store. The head of the Mo family's Villa bodyguard, Tom, got out of the car first. A few quick steps stopped in front of Robert Qiu, "Sister-in-law, already at your command, bring our team of bodyguards."

"It's been a pain for you." Robert Qiu held out a ring box to Tom, "On the way home, be careful. If there's a problem, call me immediately."

"Good." Tom nodded seriously. He also knew the price of that pair of rings. Protect until home, nothing can go wrong.

"Oh yes, also this Husky, all bring it home." Robert Qiu gave the dog in his arms to Tom.

"It's funny. It's a gift for the big lady, isn't it?" Tom smiled.

"Smart." Robert Qiu raised his thumb.

"Sister-in-law, what is the name of this dog?" ask Tom.

Robert Qiu thought for a moment then origin said, "Call him Milo."

"Your woof!" The husky named Milo was barking at Robert Qiu, as if satisfied with the name.

"Good." Tom nodded then turned around and got into the car.

Before leaving, Tom asked, "Sister-in-law, the big lady told me to ask you, when to go home? Said he had something to talk to you about, hoping you'd get home soon."

Robert Qiu looked towards Candy Shen, then nodded as he said, "I'll go home after driving Miss Shen home. Maybe around 9 p.m."
