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
With the deafening music, men and women were dancing. The charming laser lights kept flashing. Through the swaying red wine glass, she saw Jiang Kaiwei's deep and blurred eyes. He obviously drank a little too much. His eyes were bright red, and the corners of his mouth were raised. He looked more lovely than usual like a big rabbit.He showed her the text message on his cell phone. "Your brother said that you value a lover over your family. Your family has prepared a birthday party for you. But you didn't go back. Instead, you ran out to drink with me."Xia Xiaowan smiled and said, "I like it.""Only the two of us? Is there anyone else?"Xia Xiaowan hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe Yajing will come. She said she would come later."Jiang Kaiwei seemed to be in a good mood. He laughed and said, "It will be better if she doesn't come."When Xia Xiaowan heard him say this, she became happy and sa
Jiang Kaiwei gently stroked the back of the woman in his arms. His movements were gentle as if he was taking care of the most precious treasure in the world. However, his eyes were like sharp swords that flashed with cold light. It seemed as if he wanted to cut two holes in the dark night.He clearly remembered that night five years ago, he celebrated Xia Xiaowan's birthday. They drank and ate cakes in the bar. He was drunk. Xia Xiaowan helped him upstairs. They entered the room and he pressed her under his body.He had always thought it was her. But when he woke up the next morning, another girl lay beside him.She looked at him timidly, her eyes wide open like those of a deer.He asked in a daze. "Why are you here?"His appearance might be a little scary. But Lei Yajing held the quilt tightly in front of her chest. Her body trembled slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled incessantly as if she was timid.
On her way, Xia Xiaowan specially bought a newspaper. She wanted to see how much attention the incident yesterday had attracted. However, when she read it through, she did not find anything about it. She was a little puzzled. A wedding of any rich and powerful family had always been a piece of news that the media talked about. Why was it so quiet this time? On second thought, she felt that it would be wrong if it was reported in the newspaper because it was not a decent event. The Gu and Xia families must have blocked all the news.She took a taxi to the Gu Group by the roadside. She had gotten accustomed to going to Gu Nianbin when something happened to her. Although he was the person she felt most sorry for in this matter, she had to know his attitude first.When she entered the office building, she met Shao Boqing in the lobby. When Shao Boqing saw her from afar, he was stunned with his widened eyes. Then, he slowly walked over looking like he was
Compared to the tolerance of the Gu family, Xia Xiaowan was scolded badly in her own home. Xia Nanze really wanted to beat her. He rolled up his sleeves in anger and rushed to her. But Gu Nianbin stopped him. Mrs. Xia kept scolding Xia Xiaowan, but stood in front of her, for fear that Xia Nanze would hurt her daughter in anger.When she hit a nerve, Madam Xia's eyes turned red, and she kept apologizing to Gu Nianbin.Gu Nianbin wished he could divide himself into two. He had to pull Xia Nanze back as well as comfort Madam Xia. Xia Xiaowan just sat there with her head lowered, not saying a word.In fact, the Xia family was mainly afraid that the Gu family would look for trouble. When they saw that instead of being angry, Gu Nianbin spoke up for Xia Xiaowan and heard that Xia Xiaowan had already apologized to the Gu family and was forgiven, they felt a bit relieved. After they got tired of scolding her, they stopped and calmed down.
The eye-catching acquisition and counter-acquisition battle between the Gu Group and the Jiang Group went on like a raging fire for more than four months. At the beginning of June, it gradually ceased. This should be attributed surely to many people who had done a lot of work. Moreover, Jiang Kaiwei had never been so humble as to take the initiative to ask for peace and show goodwill to Gu Nianbin. Not only did he cancel the case for breach of contract, but he also sold back the Gu Group shares in his hands to Gu Nianbin at a price lower than 80% of the market price.After fighting this battle from winter to summer, Gu Nianbin was also exhausted. He gradually calmed down and no longer acted on impulse. In addition, someone came to him to mediate the battle almost every day. He was tired of this and finally accepted Jiang Kaiwei's negotiation conditions. However, neither of them showed up. They asked Shen Li and Shao Boqing to fully act on behalf of them respectiv
Zhou Ting actually didn't want to come because Raccoon was unreliable every time, but she blew her mind on the phone, so there was no harm in Zhou Ting wanting to meet her.She deliberately came late to test Cheng Wei's patience, but I didn't expect that when she met him, the man didn't say a word about it, and when he heard that she was sorry, he just smiled faintly and said that he had also just arrived shortly. Seeing that he was tolerant and generous and calm, Zhou Ting secretly gave him a compliment in her heart.It wasn't bad, it was a lot better than she thought it would be, and Raccoon was finally reliable for once.Opposite the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a face of righteousness, although sitting, Zhou Ting can also visually estimate his height of at least one seventy-six to one seventy-eight, postgraduate education, returnees, family well-off, parents are civil servants, although he is doing scientific research work, but a wide range of interest
I lost a lot of blood, but I was eventually saved.When I woke up, my parents were sitting on the edge of the bed with tears in their eyes looking at me. I felt so selfish because last night when I thought I was dying, I actually didn't think of them. I don't deserve to be their daughter at all, but God loved me and gave me a chance to be a human being again, and I vowed that I would never let them shed a single tear for me in the future.I shook my mom's hand and said with difficulty, "Yeah, sorry for making you guys, worry."My mom, who was originally full of tears, burst into tears when she heard my words, grasping my hand tightly and sobbing uncontrollably, "Silly little girl, why didn't you tell mom and dad about such a big thing?"I don't know what she's referring to. Is it about last night? Or about me and Mr. Lu?If I had known about Keung's true intentions last night, I wouldn't have gone with them at all, and as for me and Mr. Lu, let's not me
Lu and I looked at each other, both looking confused.Mr. Lu said, "What? You want to back out? Didn't you agree to hand over the favor in one hand and the person in the other?"The guys all laughed and looked at us like we were a couple of idiots.I suddenly understood at once, their action tonight was actually premeditated from early on, I was just a bait, the person they really wanted was Mr. Lu.I was suddenly scared and my voice shook a little, "You, you guys want to kidnap him?""It's still the chick who reacts quickly," Qiang gave me a big finger and looked at Mr. Lu again, "Mr. Lu, do you understand now?""I see," Mr. Lu nodded, "but the money has already been given to you guys ah, even if it's a kidnapping, shouldn't the ransom be paid and the person be released?"Qiang didn't expect Mr. Lu to be so unenlightened, he didn't even bother to explain to him, and lifted his chin at me, "Go ahead."For the first time, I felt that Mr
In the end, I was cornered and had to be honest with Keung, "I broke up with him, I really did, and even if you take me away, he won't come to my rescue."Django didn't believe me, "Call him."My temper came up, took my cell phone out and pulled up Mr. Lu's number and shoved it into his hand, "If you want to call you call yourself, I'd rather help you test a few more times than talk to him."Keung gave me a look and laughed, "So the two of them had a fight!"He didn't force me and had me taken out and stood on the street to call Mr. Lu.The phone rang for a long time without answering, and even though it was expected, I still couldn't help but sigh and say to Keung, "I told him I broke up with him, he won't care about me."Brother Qiang squinted his eyes as if he was talking to himself, "Should we really let him go? Taking me in and locking me up for a few days, this revenge can't go unavenged."The man next to him then said, "Brother Qiang,
I volunteered to be the dinner guest, which was unanimously approved by everyone, except Mr. Lu of course, who has always treated me as a transparent person, and he doesn't comment on anything about me.Mrs. Lu simply gave the cooks a vacation, she took me and Lu Xiaoxian with her into the kitchen, I was the main chef, and the two of them were the understudies. This time I decided to go out on a limb, if I can't take down Mr. Lu, I'll first take down Mr. Lu's family, so that they all become my allies and stand on my side, and maybe there's still a chance.I directed Mrs. Lu and Lu Xiaoxian to do some vegetable preparations, while I myself took care of the main ingredients, meat, fish, shrimp, crab and so on. When I was marinating the beef, I suddenly remembered and asked Lu Xiaoxian, "I heard that Ms. Lu's beef noodle cooking is good, teach me next time and I'll make it for Mr. Lu when I have time."Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said, "My brother said it, I think, he love
I haven't seen him for five days, Mr. Lu looks good, but he didn't even look at me, he just stared at Lu Xiaoxian, "Xiaoxian."My heart trembled and I was about to answer when I heard the words that followed, "Why are you here? I've been looking all over for you." Only then did I realize he wasn't calling me.Lu Xiaoxian said, "What are you looking for me for?""Two days ago you said the root carving in my room was nice, so I asked someone to get a better one and wanted you to see it.""There's no rush on that one, it'll be the same when I get back to see it.""I want you to go through it, and if you don't like it, I'll have someone find it again."Lu Xiaoxian glanced at him angrily, "I just mentioned it casually, you're still taking it seriously, just don't be too troublesome.""Your business is brother's business, how's that for trouble."Lu Xiaoxian went over and pulled Mr. Lu to sit beside me, looked left and right, and said with a
It's a day as sweet as honey! Even when I fall asleep, I wake up smiling.Every day when I open my eyes, what comes into my eyes must be the smiling face of Mr. Lu, no matter how long I sleep, he always has to wait for me to open my eyes before he is willing to get up to go to work, there are a few times really late, to always set a good example of strict discipline for him, it's really a bit unbelievable, but in order for me to break the rule, he broke the rule.When I asked him why he was doing this, he replied to me that don't women want to see their favorite men around as soon as they open their eyes?This is true, because too much like, so suffer, always feel that this is all a dream, afraid of when the dream will wake up.He hired a private tutor to teach me how to drive, and in less than a month, I got my driver's license. Lu was so happy that he immediately took me to a 4S store to pick a car.But those cars I looked around, not a satisfactory,
The battery car drove by, and sure enough, it was Mr. Lu. I was very happy that he had finally come to my rescue.Mr. Lu jumped off the battery car and came over with big strides, "Dad, what did you get her for, she's a little girl who doesn't know anything, if there's something you tell me."Mr. Lu looked at him, "Haochen, your mother is very worried about you, it is not a solution for you to go on like this, after all ... all.""I told you," Mr. Lu interrupted impatiently, "I don't need you to worry about my affairs." He grabbed my hand, "Let's go."I, of course, said nothing and obediently followed him.Lu called after him, "Eat before you go."Mr. Lu ignored him and took me on the battery car, his lips slightly down, I knew he was a little upset, so I didn't dare to say anything.Mrs. Lu greeted her on the other end, "Haochen, eat before you go, it's been a long time since you father and son had a drink together, take advantage of the fa
I showed unprecedented enthusiasm and seriousness in cooking for Mrs. Lu.She came to the kitchen, asked me if I want to help, I hurriedly invited her out, in case the fumes choked her will not be good, although she said that she also cooks at home, I am not quite believe, such as the Lu family such a rich family light cooks are several, where to use her hands, at most, it is the whim of the fun just.I quietly probed and looked, Mrs. Lu was not in the living room, I think she must have gone upstairs. So I secretly sent a message to Mr. Lu, telling him that his mother had come over.In fact, I am still afraid in my heart, because I don't know the real intention of Mrs. Lu, if she has a chilling look on her face or if she is hiding a knife in her smile, I can see it, but she is acting very naturally, as if she is coming to see her future daughter-in-law. But I don't have that kind of luck, I'm just a little canary that Mr. Lu spends his money on, and after a year, o
