Chapter 333: I Believe You

“Undermine our relationship?” Song Fan became increasingly helpless. What on earth was going on? In her view, the reason Charlie was interested in her was not only due to Song Group but might also involve some of her connections. However, it certainly had nothing to do with romantic feelings.
The look in his eyes was almost entirely calculating, and upon closer inspection, all she could see was coldness. How could someone like him fall in love with others?
Song Fan was sure that Charlie was purely selfish and would not go to such lengths for her.
So she had considered the possibility that Charlie might not have been the one to release the photos. Perhaps it was some staff member trying to boost popularity by leaking candid pictures. She didn’t even bother checking the IP.
However, Gu Chen was deeply stimulated by Gu Zhuo’s words. Upon considering that Song Fan and Charlie were about to cooperate, working together on a jewelry brand for years to come, he felt increasingly annoyed.
Gritting his teeth, he asked, “Why not let me join? Do you want to collaborate with him alone?”
“Are you running a fever? Did you take the wrong medicine? Have you been poisoned again?” Song Fan reached out to check Gu Chen’s pulse, but he avoided her.
Upon seeing his awkward reaction, Song Fan suddenly laughed. “You know that he has ulterior motives against you, and he might even be the one poisoning you. Working with such a person every day, how many lives do you think you have? I won’t always be so coincidentally lucky to save you each time.” Muttering under his breath, Gu Chen said, “But you’ve saved me many times.”
“Yes, I have saved you many times. But can you always be this fortunate?” Song Fan sighed. “Your body’s poison is too complex. If anything unexpected happens again, do you think you’ll have many lives left? I will eventually return to Song Group. Instead of putting you at risk, I might as well cooperate with him.”
“I can get close to him and even have a chance to find the person behind your poisoning. With a sample of the poison, I can analyze its components. Then, with the cooperation of Wu Yong, we can quickly develop an antidote. You won’t have to worry about the poison acting up again. Moreover, if anything does happen, you can help me in time. Isn’t that good?” she explained.
After hearing her words, Gu Chen finally showed a hint of a smile on his face. However, he still tried to keep a serious expression and said, “Even so, without financial support, it’s challenging. Charlie doesn’t have much money, and his position in the Brown family isn’t high. His two older brothers are pressing him down. The collaboration might be aborted due to a lack of liquidity.”
He had investigated Charlie’s situation quite thoroughly. Song Fan has also done the same in recent days. Charlie was indeed an underestimated illegitimate child, but his ambitions and methods were not to be underestimated. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to stand steadily for so many years and gain control over a portion of the family business.
Song Fan wanted to argue, but Gu Chen suddenly leaned forward, almost pressing her against the seat. Song Fan instinctively leaned back, but the confined space didn’t offer her much room.
“So, I have more reasons to join. I’ll help you stand firm in Song Group. You’ve helped me so many times; can’t I help you once?” Gu Chen looked at her seriously. “Besides, with me around, wouldn’t it be easier to deal with the person behind the scenes? As soon as he shows his feet, you can expose him.
Isn’t that twice the result with half the effort?”
Song Fan placed her hand against his chest. She could feel his heartbeat accelerating. With a blush on her face, she tried to calm herself and said with some effort, “Do you trust me so much? What if I can’t expose him, and you get poisoned or assassinated? Are you trying to court death?”
Gu Chen’s body leaned even closer, his hot breath hitting her face. “I trust you. I’m sure you can do it.”
Just as he was about to take things further, the car door suddenly opened. “Gu
Chen, the contract I prepared for you… Damn it! No indecent behavior!”
Another male voice asked from the side, “No indecent behavior? Isn’t Gu Chen in there?”
Qi Shuo didn’t expect to see such a provocative scene as soon as he opened the car door. Upon thinking that Song Kai was still behind him, he hurriedly fumbled to close the car door.
However, Song Kai had already spotted Song Fan.. “Little sister? Damn it, Gu Chen, you beast! I’ll kill you! How dare you touch my little sister? Do you think her brothers are all dead?”
