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.
"What do you want to ask me?" Seeing that the door was closed, Gu Nianbin looked at her with a faint smile."Tell me the truth." Xia Xiaowan still didn't want to give up. "The wedding is about to begin. I can't run away, so tell me the truth."Gu Nianbin walked to the window and stood there. There were thin golden threads on his black suit. When the sunlight shone on them, they twinkled. He suddenly turned around and the smile on his face was even brighter than the sunlight. "What truth do you want to know?""Do you want to take revenge on me?""I don't want to.""Do you really want to marry me?""Yes."Xia Xiaowan took a deep breath and mustered up her courage. "Can you forget Du Xiaoxian?""Yes." Without any hesitation, the man answered her question.Xia Xiaowan was a little exasperated. "Don't be afraid. I'm not scheming against you. I don't have a recording
Jiang Kaiwei stood there and did not move. Xia Xiaowan smiled contemptuously and slowly walked forward with her wedding dress raised.As spring ended and summer came, the botanical garden was full of beautiful flowers of brilliant purples and reds. But she didn't want to view it and just walked forward. However, she didn't know where she was going. Her feet hurt again. She leaned against a tree to rest. Her snow-white dress had become grey-white as it trailed on the ground, and some grass clippings were wrapped around it. She found it funny that she came to the botanical garden in a wedding dress of millions. She considered herself willful.After walking aimlessly for a while, she saw a swath of white magnolia trees in front of her. So they were here. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she strolled in. The tall white magnolia trees stood tall and upright. The white jade-like flowers bloomed on the branches like countless white jade cups. T
When Xia Xiaowan woke up, she found herself lying on the bed. The room was dark, and only an orange night lamp was on the bedside. The soft light spread out and shone on a small part of the pillow.The curtains were closed, and the door leading to the terrace was half open. She could see the dark night outside. A man stood there smoking. The cigarette in his fingers flickered in red.She quietly propped herself up and wanted to get up. Although she made no sound, the man suddenly turned around and walked towards her. He crouched down to look at her and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you feeling better?"Xia Xiaowan asked, "Where am I?""Hotel." Jiang Kaiwei said, "You must be hungry. Do you want to eat something? You haven't eaten anything all day."Xia Xiaowan leaned against the headboard and looked at him listlessly. "Why am I here?" She only remembered that she was in the botanical garden. It was still a sunny
