On the weekend, they went outing in the suburbs as planned. Xia Nanze and Gu Shanshan drove off on their own. Gu Nianbin went to pick up Xia Xiaowan. He sat in the living room to chat with Xia Deren and Madam Xia while waiting for Xia Xiaowan to come downstairs.
Xia Xiaowan sat in front of the dressing mirror. She suddenly felt inexplicably nervous. In fact, she and Gu Nianbin had grown up together and were extremely familiar with each other. However, when Gu Nianbin had come to pick her up so seriously, she felt a little embarrassed. She got up early and put on some light makeup. But when she saw Gu Nianbin's car driving in from the window, she rushed to the bathroom to wash off her makeup for no reason.
She picked the clothes for a long time, but in the end, she just wore jeans and a long-sleeved sweater. It was very common leisurewear.
When she went downstairs, Madam Xia saw her and said, "What have you been doing upstairs? Nianbin ha
The golden sunlight shone on the surface of the lake, sparkling and glistening. The willow branches fluttered in the breeze, like a graceful young girl dancing lightly."Look at the catkins!" Xia Xiaowan cried out in surprise.Indeed, the white catkins fluttered in the air like snowflakes and slowly landed on their bodies. Xia Xiaowan picked up a small ball of catkin and placed it in her palm. With a gentle blow, it floated into the air."It's interesting, isn't it?" Xia Xiaowan turned to look at the smiling man."Well, it's very interesting." Gu Nianbin strolled over. The lotus flowers in the lake were not in blossom yet. The yellow petals just started to spread. There were also some small arrow-like buds standing upright. Although they were small, they held their heads high and refused to hide in the leaves. Because they were ornamental lotuses, they grew faster than lotus flowers in other places. In addition, the sunlight
For the entire afternoon, Xia Xiaowan was in no mood to do anything.Originally, she wanted to use this opportunity to sound Gu Nianbin out. But before she could open her mouth, Gu Nianbin took the initiative to bring it up and frightened her the moment he started to speak.They grew up together, so she knew his temperament. Gu Nianbin was a very, very cool-headed person. At that time, everyone said that he loved her to the bone. However, when she went abroad, he did not chase after her. Instead, he continued to go to the company in the morning and get back home in the evening every day as usual, living a very regular life. Because of this, Xia Nanze had been angry with him for a long time. It was only when she returned that their relationship improved.But now, Gu Nianbin was no longer cool-headed. He finally could no longer remain cool-headed due to Du Xiaoxian.Xia Xiaowan carefully reviewed the whole thing. The more she
Originally, Xia Xiaowan thought that as long as she didn't agree to get married, Gu Nianbin could do nothing about her.However, she never expected that after a few days, Gu Nianbin would actually publish the news in the newspaper that they were going to get married! They would get married directly without declaring an engagement. The phone at her home rang from morning to night that day as friends and relatives called to congratulate her family.Her parents were beaming with joy as they began to prepare for their marriage. Xia Xiaowan suffered in silence. She quarreled with her mother twice. Madam Xia only thought that Xia Xiaowan was angry because of the marriage proposal, so she said that she had already called and ragged on Gu Nianbin. Madam Xia told Xia Xiaowan not to take it to heart and then ignored her daughter.During this period, Gu Nianbin also went to the Xia family frequently. When he came, he behaved himself and chatted wit
Being attacked by Jiang Kaiwei's sudden heavy punches, Gu Nianbin indeed suffered serious losses. But he did not look like he was wretched at all. Instead, he was so calm that it made people feel terrible.After being discharged from the hospital, he became even more unfathomable. No one could guess what he was thinking in his heart. Seemingly, nothing seemed to have changed. His face was still indifferent, and his words were considered gentle. However, everyone could feel his chilliness that kept people away. He appeared even more imposing even without being angered.Everyone around him knew the reason. From then on, Du Xiaoxian became the most taboo name in the Gu Group. Everyone carefully avoided mentioning these words. Zhou Ting even examined more than once the list of persons who were going to have an appointment with Gu Nianbin to remove persons with the surname Du.However, she was in a dilemma at the moment. There was a call from
Shen Li, who got the feedback from Shao Boqing, was worried again. Facing these two stubborn guys, he really didn't want to care about the stupid thing between them. However, Jiang Kaiwei was his close friend. He couldn't watch Jiang Kaiwei become muddle-headed. He also didn't want the Gu Group to really be split up and sold off by Jiang Kaiwei. Since Shao Boqing couldn't persuade Gu Nianbin, he had to make a try to persuade Jiang Kaiwei.Since the business battle began, he rarely went to Jiang Kaiwei's office because he had to avoid arousing suspicion. So when Zhu Li saw him, she immediately stood up and greeted him, "General Manager Shen.""Is your boss here?""Yes." Zhu Li immediately picked up the phone. But Shen Li walked in directly. Then Zhu Li put the phone down, but her heart was uneasy. The boss had said that he did not want to see anyone. Now that she let General Manager Shen enter without reporting to him, would she be scolde
When Jiang Kaiwei regained his senses, Xia Nanze was no longer in the office.He did not know how long he had slept, but the sunlight outside the window was still bright. It should not be time to get off work. He slowly got up, patted the dust off his body, and picked up the scattered papers on the ground piece by piece.Looking at the papers in his hand, his heart stabbed. Then he staggered and fell to the ground again.That child was a wound deep in his heart. He never mentioned it. He had been deceiving himself, thinking that he had forgotten it. But how could he forget it? The wound was faintly aching all the time, reminding him of the pain and shame he had once felt.So he hated Xia Xiaowan and hated her for letting him suffer such torment.He never mentioned that child. He didn't want to do it at all. But he had no choice but to gamble. As expected, Xia Nanze's reaction was more intense than he had imagine
"Do you treat me to this dinner to tell me something?" Halfway through the meal, Gu Nianbin was aware that Xia Xiaowan wanted to say something but hesitated.Xia Xiaowan chuckled. "You finally noticed me! What are you thinking about?""Thinking about the company." Gu Nianbin was honest."I heard that you had brought about an upswing?"Gu Nianbin smiled. "It doesn't count as an upswing. At most, it counts as reclaiming the lost shares.""Anyway, congratulations." Xia Xiaowan smiled joyfully. "Brother Nianbin, what are you going to do next?""Continue the fight.""Brother Nianbin, I think you should stop fighting with Jiang Kaiwei." Xia Xiaowan advised him, "He is a madman. If you continue fighting, I'm afraid something unpredictable will happen.""Don't be afraid. I am not someone who can be trifled with." Gu Nianbin raised his glass and gently clinked it against hers. "Alth
In the end, there was no hope. Xia Xiaowan knew that she couldn't outwit Gu Nianbin no matter what. Now the latter was more terrifying than Jiang Kaiwei, who was widely known as a wicked man. In contrast, Gu Nianbin was lurking in the shadows. No one knew his true color. Worse still, people sang his praises and helped him deal with her. High and dry, she was no match for him.Xia Nanze locked her up at home every day, and Madam Xia watched over her in person. A lot of bodyguards were hired to guard every corner of the house. There was simply no escape.Gu Nianbin came to see her several times. Like a gentleman, he remained polite and modest. Impressed by his refined manner, Xia Deren and his wife liked him even more. Xia Nanze also got close to him as they were in their childhood.When Gu Nianbin came to her room, she sincerely expressed her wish to talk.Gu Nianbin agreed, sat down on the sofa, and looked at her gently.
