In a booth in a remote corner of the bar.
Adrian Chen smiled and poured a glass of wine for Carter Gu: "Finally you have some free time? You're a busy man."
Carter Gu pushed the wine away: "I'm driving, I don't want to drink."
"Don't worry, if you don't want to drink at the bar, what are you doing here? Are you here to see the scenery?"
Carter Gu: "Didn't you ask me to come?"
"I'm here to talk to you about cat fighting," Adrian Chen took a sip of his wine and asked him, "You said you were doing well in finance and real estate, why did you come to get involved in this circle? One moment you open an agency, the next moment you acquire a live broadcast platform. What, do you think the money is not enough?"
Carter Gu leaned on the sofa: "Would you think the money was too much?"
"Of course not." Adrian Chen smiled, "Come on, who am I? You and Carter Gu are your brothers who have grown up together. You and I don't know each other well. In the end, it's all for Sebastian Lin."
Carter Gu did not answer, as if he agreed.
"You treat Sebastian Lin like a son." After saying that, Adrian Chen laughed again, "No, no one else treats their son as well as you do."
Carter Gu glanced at him and said, "Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Adrian Chen put his arm around his shoulders: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about him. I feel disappointed when he's mentioned. By the way, I heard that Ethan Lu signed with your company?"
Carter Gu raised his eyebrows: "How do you know?"
"How could I not know? My company has also contacted him. You are so good, you came here and poached my employees."
Carter Gu sneered: "Go away, do I need to poach your girlfriend?"
Adrian Chen admitted his mistake immediately: "No, no. But why did Ethan Lu choose your company? Although you are rich, you are just starting out, and you don't have as many resources as I do."
"Just your little resources?" Carter Gu looked at the men and women dancing on the dance floor, his eyes unclear, "My mother knows his mother."
Adrian Chen was stunned for a moment, then he immediately laughed out loud: "Haha, I thought so, it turns out he is a relative."
Adrian Chen stretched out the word "relatives" and Carter Gu felt unhappy.
"Oh, the money you borrowed from me before---"
"I mean Ethan Lu is a relative." Adrian Chen immediately changed his words cleverly.
As the two were talking, a boy approached them. He was dressed in a S3xier way, but his childishness could not be concealed.
With a suggestive smile, he stood beside Carter Gu and asked, "Would you like to buy me a drink?"
The boy was wearing tight pants that made his B*tt0cks look round, and he deliberately leaned towards Carter Gu.
Unexpectedly, Carter Gu did not react at all, not even an eye contact. The boy placed the empty wine glass awkwardly on the table.
Adrian Chen had long been accustomed to this kind of thing. There were many people in the bar looking for partners for the night. Whenever he and Carter Gu went out for a drink, he would definitely meet several groups of people who would come to chat him up, both men and women, but the target of the chat was always Carter Gu.
Fortunately, after playing with Carter Gu for so many years, he has long been accustomed to it.
The boy looked embarrassed, and Adrian Chen came to his rescue, saying, "My friend is shy."
The boy got the steps and said embarrassedly, "Oh, I'm sorry to bother you then." Then he immediately slipped away.
Adrian Chen sighed: "What, you want to become a monk?"
"Not interested in."
Adrian Chen chuckled and said, "I heard that a model was following you a while ago, and Sebastian Lin caught her and told her a lot?"
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Carter Gu's face had become even uglier. He cleverly brought back the subject, patted Carter Gu on the shoulder, and walked into the dance floor, with another sentence left.
"People, the better you treat them, the greedier they will become. You indulge them too much, and sometimes they can't even tell their own status. You feel that you owe them, so you give them enough money and let them go. Are you planning to sacrifice yourself for it?"
Adrian Chen came back after playing for a long time. He held his phone with an irritated look on his face. It was too noisy around him, so he could only ask loudly: "What?"
"Got it. I'll be right down."
He walked over to Carter Gu and said, "I'm going to the parking lot and will be back soon."
Carter Gu: "Parking lot?"
"Well, it's too busy today. There was no place to park when I came. I parked outside and blocked other people's cars. Now I have to move." Adrian Chen muttered, "It's not like there's not even a parking space in my own bar. Next time I'll have to ask someone to reserve a spot for me!"
After Adrian Chen finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Carter Gu reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Here I go, car keys."
Adrian Chen glared and said, "No, no, I can go by myself." He didn't dare ask this big guy to help him move the car.
Carter Gu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't touch the car when you're drunk."
Adrian Chen usually drives here and asks a designated driver to take him back. When he was reminded, he immediately came to his senses: "Oh, I forgot. I'll ask someone to move it for me."
The air in the bar was bad, and Carter Gu just wanted to go out for some fresh air. He hooked his finger and took the car keys hanging on Adrian Chen's waist, then walked straight out of the bar.
Carter Gu walked to the parking lot and immediately saw the Ferrari that was parked in a strange way. It was lying across a parking space, directly blocking the car inside.
Adrian Chen put his phone number in front of the car. With this flashy car, he didn't know how much harassment he would endure. Carter Gu sneered and walked to the door to get in.
The car that was blocked was a navy blue Jaguar. A man was sitting in the car with his hand against his lips, looking absent-minded. He didn't even react when Carter Gu stood in front of the car.
Carter Gu recognized Ethan Lu at a glance.
Ethan Lu rarely drank in recent years. When he got back to the car, he remembered that he couldn't drive. He called Noah Lin, but Noah Lin had gone out of town with Aiden Yun. Today was Mason Xiao's girlfriend's birthday, so he couldn't ask anyone to come. Noah Lin said he would contact someone with a tight mouth to help him drive home.
Because of family disharmony, Ethan Lu had been rebellious during adolescence, and his drinking capacity was developed at that time. So even though he drank a lot tonight, he was still conscious, though his head felt a little heavy.
Just as Ethan Lu was calming down, someone knocked on the car window.
He raised his eyes and saw a man standing outside the car, looking at him with deep eyes.
Carter Gu's appearance startled him. He rolled down the window and said, "Mr. Gu."
As soon as the car window opened, Ethan Lu's alcoholic smell came towards him. Carter Gu frowned: "Did you drink?"
Ethan Lu nodded, but felt uncomfortable sitting and looking up, so he simply got out of the car and stood in front of Carter Gu.
The height difference between the two was not big. Ethan Lu leaned against the car door and saw the car keys in Carter Gu's hand. He understood and said, "So this car belongs to Mr. Gu?"
I can't tell. This car is so flashy and doesn't match Carter Gu's well-dressed appearance at all.
"My friend's." Ethan Lu got out of the car, smelling even more drunk. "Drinking and driving?"
Ethan Lu smiled. There were a few strands of hair on his forehead, and his collar was not as neat as it was in front of the camera. His smile was a bit ruffian: "No, I asked Noah Lin to call someone over."
Carter Gu was silent for a moment, then took out his cell phone and made a call.
Adrian Chen received many calls tonight for no apparent reason. He asked without even checking the caller ID: "Who is it again?"
"Ask someone to come down and move the car. I have something to do."
Adrian Chen immediately recognized Carter Gu's voice: "Leave? Where to? Got it, I'll ask someone to go down right away."
Seeing that Carter Gu was standing there with no intention of moving, Ethan Lu asked politely, "Mr. Gu, are you leaving? Then I won't bother you anymore." After saying that, he opened the car door and prepared to go in.
Carter Gu stretched out his big hand and pressed the half-open car door: "I'll take you home."
Ethan Lu: "No need, the people Noah Lin called will be here soon."
While he was talking, Carter Gu had already walked past Ethan Lu and calmly sat in the driver's seat, saying in a tone that did not allow for argument: "You can't let a stranger drive in your condition."
He looks like this... Ethan Lu looked at himself and didn't think there was anything wrong with himself.
The person Adrian Chen called came very quickly, almost jogging all the way. Ethan Lu turned around reflexively, afraid that his face would be seen.
Carter Gu got out of the car and threw the keys to the person passing by, along with his car keys: "Ask Adrian Chen to ask someone to drive my car back." After saying that, he got back into the car.
The man moved quickly and the car was moved away immediately. Carter Gu sat in the car and got familiar with it.
He looked at the person who was still standing with his back turned: "Get in the car."
At this point, Ethan Lu didn't say anything more. He walked around the back of the car and sat in the passenger seat.
Carter Gu adjusted his chair: "Address."
Ethan Lu fastened his seat belt and gave the address: "Mihe Apartment, Xibei Road."
Carter Gu frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Ethan Lu, with some confusion in his eyes.
Ethan Lu: "What's wrong?"
Carter Gu retracted his gaze and calmly stepped on the accelerator: "Nothing."
Isn’t Mihe Apartment the apartment where he lives currently?
He had encountered this before. People who wanted to sleep with him took great pains to find his address and waited for him at the door, but he coldly drove them away. He was not aloof. It was normal for a thirty-year-old man to have physical needs, but he didn't like others to step into his private area.
But for some reason, he couldn't say anything cold to Ethan Lu.
He chuckled, perhaps because he was very satisfied with Ethan Lu's face and figure.
Ethan Lu had no idea that the car in Carter Gu's mind had already driven to Spain. In the enclosed space, the smell of alcohol on his body was more obvious. He opened the car window a little to get some fresh air.
There was some silence in the car. Ethan Lu thought for a moment and thought it would be inappropriate for him to remain silent while someone else was sending him home. He casually found a topic: "Mr. Gu is very familiar with City B."
The road that Carter Gu took was a shortcut. Mason Xiao didn't even know he could take this road before.
"Um."
Well, Ethan Lu himself is not the kind of person who likes to talk, and now he doesn't intend to open his mouth to cause trouble.
When they came to the traffic light, Carter Gu shifted gears and asked in a deep voice, "Did you drink a lot?"
Ethan Lu thought it was the smell of alcohol on him that was bothering him, so he opened the car window a little wider: "Not much, just a few bottles."
He called Noah Lin.
Noah Lin picked up the phone and asked, "Did they get to you?"
"Let him go back. Someone has sent me back."
Noah Lin was probably at the event site, making a lot of noise. He raised his voice: "What? Someone sent you off? Who? Don't just follow anyone!"
... Ethan Lu sighed, "Mr. Gu, please send me off. That's enough. I'm hanging up now."
Two minutes later, Noah Lin's text message came in.
"You still say you and Carter Gu didn't have an affair!?"
Ethan Lu locked the screen indifferently and turned his head to continue looking at the scenery outside the car window.
The car drove steadily into the apartment's underground parking garage.
Ethan Lu suddenly thought of something and said, "Just stop at 74D. Thank you, Mr. Gu."
Carter Gu: "74D?"
Ethan Lu nodded: "Yes, the apartment has an assigned parking space."
Carter Gu pursed his lips and drove to 74D in silence. After the car was parked, Ethan Lu took out a car cover and casually spread it on the car.
Ethan Lu asked Carter Gu who was standing aside: "How are you going to get back, Mr. Gu? Do you need me to call a taxi for you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Carter Gu turned around and walked towards the elevator.
Ethan Lu's movement of holding the car keys did not change, and only Carter Gu's words remained in the air.
"I live here, too."
