This is the first rest day after working in the family business, Gu Beichen stretched his waist extremely lazily, the lower half of his body was still slumped in the warm quilt, he wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead with great sleepiness, and then slowly turned in a different direction, and the cold snort slowly drifted away with the light fragrance remaining between the hair. He decisively put his little head into the goose-yellow pillow that had already been soaked with sweat.

Shirley, who had just finished taking a shower, wrapped her angry body into a loose bathrobe. She whispered to the window and walked down, looking at him with burning eyes.

She suppressed the excitement in her heart and gently poked his tight arm muscles with her elbow on his T-shirt.

Gu Beichen ignored her, he fell asleep by himself. "Bang!" Shirley was shocked. "Ahh

"Hey, Gu Beichen. She pushed Gu Beichen, who was still asleep, hard, and her negative look was eager to kick him out of outer space. "It's all thanks to you knocking me so hard. She glared at him in annoyance.

In a slight tremor,

The corners of Gu Beichen's stiff mouth twitched slightly.

The bare poplars outside the window rustled in the cold wind, and the toes that were not attached to the quilt gradually froze, and within a quarter of an hour, Gu Beichen found that the cold seemed to slowly seep into the bone marrow from the texture, and the coldness spread rapidly from the toes to the whole body, at this time, he was cold as if he was in a 10,000-year-old ice cave, his calves were so stiff that he couldn't move in an instant, and he struggled to move his body to the position of the pillow.

"Hehe" Cui Xueli looked at Gu Beichen with a smile on her face. "Sleeping ghost, wait a minute, I'll record a video and post it on Kuaishou Douyin. Shirley snickered and stared at him. Just now, she thought that teasing Gu Beichen was a boring thing, but at this moment, she looked at Gu Beichen's happy sleeping face with great interest. He looked like he was asleep, not to mention how happy he was, like a fool living in a stuffy jar.

Shirley looked at Gu Beichen in the dream with a doting face, her crimson cheeks, and her crystal transparent eyes flickering, especially the cute smile that revealed the vitality of a young girl, it was really a long time since she had seen it.

"Okay. I'll let you sleep for a while. Shirley's voice was as melodious as the night mist.

On a damp and rainy night, the willow branches beat the plantain mercilessly. The dim searchlights faded into the drizzle. The woman in the back seat of the taxi craned her neck again and again, and she took the trouble to look at the blurry world where she could only see a round of golden aperture. The rain became heavier and heavier, and the woman lowered her head, and in the dark light she could only lift her hand to the window, put her fingers against the lattice, and read the time marked on her watch through the cloudy drunken light. Tick-tock, time ticked by, and the anxious woman pressed her whole face tightly against the car window.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour, the water on the glass window slipped down, and the woman looked at the dark surroundings with her mouth slightly open. "Damn the traffic jam. The driver slapped the steering wheel hard, and a trace of horror passed over the woman's face, and she pushed the door open and stumbled towards the end of the road without looking back.

It was getting darker and darker, and her face was getting colder and colder. Looking at the latest information report on the mobile phone screen, "When the wedding of the Grand Duke of the Gu Consortium and the Duchess of the Financial Tycoon Miss Li is in progress". She was deeply moved.

On a cold and rainy night, the woman gulped in the fresh air, she raised her head to look up at the sky that was still raining, and the rain like a pillar melted her cold heart. There must have been a knot between him and her, and even though her good premonition told her that the struggle was futile, she looked blankly at the gloomy purple cloud above her head, and the warmth that had flashed in her mind was still there.

"Bang!" the door of the auditorium was pushed open, and the dazzling light burst out between the beads of crystal water hanging from the wet hair of the woman standing in front of everyone, and the people in the auditorium turned to look at the door, and everyone was stunned.

Who she is is like a ghost that comes and goes without a shadow,

The rain-soaked woman walked through the crowded sea of people in despair, and in the dazzling halo she looked around anxiously at the oppressive crowd, and finally she looked at the couple on the stage in a daze.

In the thunder of lightning and thunder, she walked up to him in an orderly manner.

After countless tormented days and months, she was eager to ask him in person. Otherwise, she doesn't want to live in the shadow of being abandoned for unknown reasons for the rest of her life.

"Why are you here, isn't it good to leave this crappy place and go to Paris to start over alone?" Gu Beiming locked on to her with deep eyes, and his voice was full of warning.

"Can you please stop this ceremony? Gu Beiming, you know that I love you, and I also know that the woman in the most important position in your heart at this moment is still me. Haha, Beiming, you are angry with me, you are deliberately avoiding me during this time, the more you are afraid to see me, the more it proves that you can't do without me. ”

The woman said with a smile, and she grabbed his arm and squeezed out a gentle smile with all her might. "The relationship between you and me as you have said is the love between fish and water, the fish will be lonely when the water leaves, and the fish will die when the water leaves. Have you forgotten those solemn oaths? Don't make a fuss, dear, don't make such innocuous jokes, look at me, I'm a rectum, I can't afford to make jokes. ”

The bright auditorium fell silent for a moment, and everyone was stunned by the woman's words.

Under the backlight, there was a shocking loneliness in Gu Beiming's eyes, even if he sprinkled the most luxurious and warm perfume today, the dark fragrance that gradually drifted away in the air could not replace his rainy and lonely face like the rainy season in Ireland at this moment.

There was a "buzz" and even a sigh came from the microphone.

The woman was still rubbing him, and she wanted to embed him into her body.

"Tae-hee, don't make a fuss, okay? I beg you to stop making a fuss. Gu Beiming said lightly.

"Why? Tell me why? If you have enough reason, I won't bother you again. The woman Huo Ran met his cold eyes. His eyes were full of deep pain and cunning affection.

"But, don't say anything unconscionable. The woman said lightly, her tone much lower.

Lightning exploded in the dark night.

The man slowly approached him, a dazzling halo of light shining in circles.

"You speak. "You speak to me. The woman couldn't hold back her emotions any longer, and she yelled uncontrollably.

Her pale lips were slightly red from the violent mood swings.

"Please, look me in the eye carefully, can you take a good look at me. Why let go of my hand, why treat me so cruelly. Is the position of president really more important than me? Do you have to give up me for the sake of a president? Do you have to destroy our good memories with your own hands?"

The woman frantically tugged at his tie. The buttons of the clothes were not seen in the raw tugging.

"Why do you have to marry this woman, how much ecstasy soup has the right poured into you. You look me in the eye and tell me if you ever have true feelings for me. In front of your big dreams, am I really worthless?"

The woman's face was as hot as a fire, and she froze, and she fixed her eyes on him.

At that moment, the hairs of everyone present stood on end.

Unable to speak, the woman turned her words at the bride.

"I'm telling you, you won't be happy with him, a man who can even use love as a bargaining chip to weigh the pros and cons is not worth having you. Even if he can marry you now, when the opportunity to tear you to pieces comes, your fate will definitely not be as good as mine. “

She pointed her fingers at the tip of her nose, like a pistol trigger ready to knock at any moment.

In front of everyone's eyes, the woman's shouts resounded throughout the auditorium, and even the guests seated looked at each other in panic.

The reporters slowly approached the three people in the center of the runway as if they had suddenly collectively deciphered the Da Vinci code, and the bright magnesium light was as bright as day. In the midst of the hustle and bustle, every reporter struggled to figure out how detailed and specific descriptions to put together. How to match the text can not only truly reflect the current fresh news, increase popularity and exposure, but also be carried out on the premise of not offending the chaebol. The panic on the stage and the offstage are even more tests.

The bride stood in front of Gu Beiming with an expressionless face, and the face of a well-known actress was so positive that it looked like a relief without seven emotions and six desires in Greek mythology.

"Can such a woman also bewitch your mind? Gu Beiming, are you too indulgent?"

The bride's sharp white eyes swept towards Gu Beiming behind her, and a dazzling light was refracted in those serious eyes. She coldly questioned the unusually silent man.

"You can't talk to him like that. On a rainy night, the night breeze with rain and dew blew into the auditorium, and the intricate petals on the surrounding walls vibrated and vibrated a few wisps of decadence.

"Oh, no. Haha, no. There was a lot of irony in the bride's eyes.

"Don't forget, I'm the mistress of the Gu family, but apart from my name, I didn't care about anything else. The bride turned her head to look at Gu Beiming, who was standing behind her, and there was a deep meaning in her indifferent eyes.

"Gu Beiming, Gu Beiming. ”

The woman looked at him fixedly again, her voice cleared, and she pleaded with him eagerly.

"Come home with me. ”

"You're not going to be happy with her. ”

The woman pursed her lips, and the voice vibrated from her closed mouth.

Gu Beiming looked at her quietly, and he was impatient to draw a line between him and her.

"Tae-hee, you're a good girl, but. ”

The blush on Tae-hee's face hadn't faded yet, and the crimson on his cheeks was even thicker at the moment.

He was suddenly dumbfounded.

The woman resisted her impulse and looked at him silently.

The low sobs were amplified by a high-decibel microphone.

Gu Beiming sighed silently: "I'm sorry, but please don't forgive me." ”

"Why? Why do you say you're sorry, why are you just saying sorry to me now? Why didn't you say sorry to me first when you made your vow?"

"Why give me endless hope and then push me back into the abyss of resentment. Gu Beiming, what do you mean? ”

The woman's crumbling weeping, tears fluttering like a bloody rose, the door of memories broke down, and behind the door that opened leisurely, the woman wore a long white dress dyed with the glow, and she danced to the rhythm of the violin, like a clean white rose. And the bright light behind her that illuminates everything is like the pure land in Greek mythology.

"I'm sorry. Gu Beiming muttered.

"Please stop the wedding immediately, stop it Beiming, you are a man of flesh and blood, you are not a puppet of interests. The woman stared closely at the face reflected in the champagne bottle, and she saw through his heart. Her eyes filled with tears of shame and helplessness. Even her choked voice seemed to be wrapped in a lingering cold.

Under the thick Gothic curtain, Gu Beiming didn't know what to say for a while, countless pairs of round eyes were staring at him closely, and everyone was waiting for him to make a final rebuttal.

Outside the window, it was still pouring rain at night.

"Enough is enough, girl!" was the loud muffled thunder.

The impatient bride had unhappiness in her eyes, and she snatched the microphone from Gu Beiming's hand with an indifferent face.

"I ask you to get me out of the Great Hall, even though I don't know your name, and I don't want to find out what happened to you. But now you are an out-and-out loser in my eyes, and the loser has no face to come here. ”

The bride's face was extremely ugly, and she glanced at the woman with a critical eye, and even her aggressive tone revealed a sarcasm that eroded the soul. Her reply was frank and sharp.

Then she moved the microphone away from the corner of her lips, turned her head and faced Gu Beiming with a serious expression that was close to persecution.

"Don't let me be the talk of these paparazzi, okay? Besides, as a young entrepreneur, losing credibility and losing the support of the people, this kind of business is too cheap, it is better for us to part ways immediately. There was an arrogant disdain between the bride's eyebrows, and she angrily reminded him. "Is she going or I'm leaving. The bride tugged at the corners of her mouth, "The ants on the hot pan are only roasted to slag wherever they go, and this transaction is a loss-making deal for us, you have to think clearly." The bride's eyes were full of naked contempt, but the gaze was indifferent and didn't seem to have too many ups and downs.

The woman gasped for breath, with a faint snoring between her breaths. She held out her fingers tremblingly.

"Tell me, is the reason why you agreed to marry her because the capital chain of the family business was broken, and do you have to sacrifice your life's happiness for the sake of this commission? Do you know her, her heart? ”

The woman's heart was so distressed that her heart-rending cries echoed through the auditorium. The atmosphere of the stalemate was suddenly chaotic.

The cold transparent liquid flowed on Gu Beiming's face.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. But please don't forgive me. ”

The muscles of the man's face contracted rapidly, as if he had been accidentally injected with strong glue.

"Gu Beiming, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you. ”

The woman clenched her fists and kept pounding Gu Beiming's chest, "Gu Beiming, you ruined my life, and that woman, the filthy woman who intervened between you and me, and your cold-blooded and ruthless parents." It's you. Slender nails grazed his golden-glowing collarbone, and blood-stained bruises appeared on his sliding collar.

Gu Beiming temporarily put aside his chaotic thoughts due to entanglement, and while thinking about it, he grabbed the trembling woman's swaying shoulder.

The woman looked up at him with a look of tears.

Gu Beiming stared ahead without squinting, and the hand that grabbed Taixi was so hard that even his knuckles turned white. He glanced awkwardly at Gu Beichen in a row of guest seats, and there was a large red patch under his ears.

"That's enough, you're not done. How many times have I told you that it is impossible between us, I am the son of a chaebol, born to wear a crown. But what about you, you've read too much of Cinderella's story, and embedded the plot of the story into your own life. Wake up, it's over, it's over. Leave me alone, okay?"

The strength of Gu Beiming's arms could almost crush her. In a fit of rage, he pushed her away.

At that moment, Gu Beichen in the nearest space intuitively felt an irresistible sourness in his nasal cavity flooding like a spark about to erupt, and he couldn't make any sound from his mouth, but his brother's face that seemed to be hidden under the mask made him nauseous, and he felt an indescribable feeling of nausea from the bottom of his heart.

The woman's hot tears kept flowing, Gu Beichen's throat was blocked in a panic, and his already pounding heart was beating wildly with anger.

He couldn't forget the woman named Tessie, her lips trembling with anger, but she could still beg him in a low voice. She was obviously born with a pitiful appearance, but she mustered up the courage to appear at the ceremony. Many mysteries that puzzled him were now gradually beginning to understand. When he saw Shirley for the first time, when he watched Shirley smile at him before she had time to wipe away her tears. He swore he would never fail her in his life. Or it is precisely in the hazy dream that his thoughts are more resolute and pure.

The sparrows in the courtyard chirped non-stop, fluttering their wings, and then flew over the nearby low altitude in unison, probably because the surrounding environment was surprisingly quiet, and the sound of flapping wings that suddenly broke into his ears made him feel that his scalp was numb, Gu Beichen reluctantly opened his fluffy eyes, he turned his face that was still in his sleep out of the quilt, and then looked out of the window with a pair of loveless eyes.

Shirley squatted quietly in the corner next to the bed, she quickly locked her eyes on the door, and her tense leg muscles had a slender and straight beauty. Especially after the squat, her hot body protruding forward and backward is so angry that you can see it at a glance. Originally, she wanted to end this game with no one to cooperate, but there was a wonderful air flow in the air around her, and she suddenly wanted to continue through a few levels. Next, she's going to do something. Just as she was thinking, she stroked her long silky hair.

Gu Beichen's heart was in full swing, but he still had to pretend to be casual on his face, and he looked at the ceiling as leisurely as before. Those tea-black eyes were as deep as a deep pool, so deep that there was not a trace of shadow.

"Father, what do you need me to do to deliver the Gu family to me? Of course, I can pat my chest and assure you that after the matter is completed, I will take care of everything Gu Beichen as you wish, if you don't worry, I can write a letter of guarantee in front of the whole family, and then of course you can appoint your most beloved and trusted son to be the notarization. ”

"And I think as long as you spit out, there should be no other resistance between our brothers. Is it to erect a dangerous wall and push the closest people to the hostile camp, or you to build this harmonious bridge of communication with your own hands. I think my father, who has always judged the situation, knows more about scheming than I do. By the way, I also have to give you a warm reminder, the decline of Gu's stock in this issue is simply miserable, and my father has to make up his mind quickly. ”

Gu Beichen froze outside his father's study door, and his brother's indifferent and ruthless words broke into his mind like a trace of cold air. He desperately blocked his ears with his hands. But driven by curiosity, he quickly lowered the hand that was held high in his ear. Three years ago, he was shocked by his brother's behavior, but now he has long been accustomed to his brother's helpless behavior. On the contrary, even if he has never rebelled against his brother, if one day his brother discourages the idea of calculating him, he will be surprised and unable to control himself.

"Would you? a man who can love women with one heart and sever all ties for the sake of power. How do you make me believe that you can be kind to your own brother?"

In the room, the father the old voice, and threw out all the questions.

"Just because I am the future president of the Gu Group, and for this hard-won glory, I can't, let alone let myself be stained by abusing my father and brother, especially in the terrible information age, my every move is active under the noses of the world. Hundreds of millions of people supervise, how dare I make a mistake. Even if you have the heart, you don't have the courage. ”

Gu Beiming slowly confessed. His hands tugged at the corners of his clothes.

"Good, good. You're ,,, you're getting the way I used to be. His father gave him a very different look. He slapped his face with a twisted face.

Gu Beiming squinted, took a small step back, and then bowed respectfully to him.

"But you're still going to choose him as your successor, aren't you?" he said politely, leaning lightly. "No matter what sacrifices I make, no matter how much effort I put in unimaginable, one thing you must understand is that my motives and purposes are only to attract your affection. “

After hesitating, Gu Beiming's voice was filled with uneasiness and fear. His brow softened.

He cautiously raised his eyes.

Haha, the father laughed twice. "I advise you, the end of insatiable greed is self-destruction. “

His father looked at him quietly, his deep eyes full of imagination, a feeling that could not only resist people thousands of miles away, but also let the other party fall here.

"Thank you for your father's advice, if your father has any other instructions, my son will do them one by one and follow the teachings. “

Gu Beiming raised the corners of his lips and smiled coldly, then stepped forward and stared at him with a cold gaze.

Father stood up from the chair in front of Gu Beiming and glanced at him cautiously.

"Polite and low-key, this kind of near-perfect character doesn't seem to suit you very well, how many things you've done sneakily under my nose over the years. Presumably, your appetite for Ya is more than just trying to swallow your brother. Where is the muzzle of the gun, Beichen is young and he can't understand it, but you can't hide it from me. Father said, turning his eyes to look at his sideways. "What a beautiful man. A playful smile tugged at the corner of my father's lips. "It's also good-looking, so that you can do stupid things. “

"Ambition is worthy of your natural personality, but if you are shrewd, your brain will be brighter. Perhaps I am the one who puts on a submissive posture today. There was regret in my father's regretful eyes, which was not difficult to distinguish.

Father's eyes rolled and rolled, and he licked his tongue. At that moment, Gu Beiming's eyes were as bright as moonlight.

"Forget it, forget it, you and Beichen are both my sons, who can sit in what position, I know it. His father replied to him slowly. "Even though he is my favorite child, perhaps it is my pampering of him that has turned me into a pampering of him, and now I am very disappointed when I see him. “

"No, if he transforms into what you are today," the father hesitated.

"Maybe I'll be sadder, at least my little prince still has a human touch. “

With that, the father stood up unnoticed. "Let's get out. Father waved his hand, his bloodshot eyes as rich as red wine.

"From childhood to adulthood, if it's something you like, you'll get it in every possible way. Remember what you say. And between you and that girl, no one can make such a choice for you. Of course, if you have made up your mind to go into one forest, don't be too greedy for the scenery in another forest, no matter how tempting. Otherwise you won't get anything. “

My father opened the glass door of the villa to the outside, and the bright morning breeze blew in. He picked up the watering can.

"Dad, if it were my younger brother who came for the girl he loved today, would you fulfill them?

Gu Beiming's question became concise and to the point, and he stopped his father for a while and asked the doubts hidden in his heart.

"No, I said, he's going to make your trade-offs. And Gu Beiming, I know you still care about that girl's situation. Father smacked his lips. "I will make proper arrangements for your future life, and I will take it as a reward for your contribution to the Gu family. My other son is that you are going to hold my chips, and I have to hold this hole card in my hand all the time to feel more at ease. After all, in three years, you have completely hollowed me out, haven't you? You took away my majesty step by step, and didn't let me sweep out of the Gu family's gate, I really should thank you. “

"Let's go. The father waved his hand again in displeasure, motioning for him to leave his room immediately.

Gu Beichen, who heard everything, tried his best to stay calm, no matter how he calmed down, the sense of disappointment after being calculated by the closest person lingered for a long time like a nail mark.

The sparrow stood firmly back on the branch, scratching its nimble little head, flapping its wings again, and the swirling magic sound seemed to be deliberately angry with someone.

The memory was interrupted, and a gloomy Ao Lan flashed in Gu Beichen's bright pupils. If it were the middle of the night in a dream, such a slight but piercing sound would be a little creepy. Gu Beichen lay flat on the bed without moving, and after just half a month's work, Gu Beichen, who had always been tall and solid, lost a lot of weight, and even his already clear and glowing skin became sallow and dull. He suddenly pulled the quilt under his feet.

Shirley, who heard the noise, pressed her breathing very lightly, and the smile on her face was as bright as a summer flower. Happy, so happy, I'm afraid that there is nowhere to put my heart that is too big. Cui Shirley leaned her head on his pillow, and an elusive little evil flashed in her eyes in the thick of sleepiness.

The legs are numb and crispy, and the concentration hurts.

Under the dripping round patches of sunlight.

The walls of the surrounding white flowers began to reflect the warm and elegant shadows like glass. The dense branches were still shaking violently, and the hazy morning light faintly shone into the bedroom through the small gaps between the branches and leaves. Even Gu Beichen's bare and slender back outside the quilt reflected a circle of fluctuating halos. Suddenly, he felt that something was not quite right.

He struggled to sit up, like a puppet without consciousness.

The morning breeze lifted the snow-white curtain slightly.

"Delusion, it must be a tendon that is wrong, or an outbreak of nervous disorder. ”

Gu Beichen turned around and lay straight on his back, his eyes closed frequently alternating between light and dark.

"Illusion, it's the parallel of time and space, how Shirley appeared here, maybe it's because she's been too tired lately. ”

Gu Beichen smiled relievedly, he opened his eyes suddenly, his gaze was fixed in the morning mist piercing through the treetops by the window, and the huge ice crystals slipped from the withered head. The sound of flapping wings seemed to resound in the huge bedroom, and at that moment, he could vaguely see the scratches of sparrows clearly engraved on every morning dew. He looked at the dim ceiling with a complete drowsiness, and the air that was gradually solidifying in his arrogant and detached brown eyes seemed to add a dazzling silver ring to the dust that was scattered like shards.

"Also, it's impossible, no one will come near this room without permission, this rule is still issued by my good brother President Gu. Since his brother's wedding, the family's business is completely in the hands of his brother, Gu Beichen didn't want to set foot in this troubled water, but the instructions that required him to dedicate himself to the family business were arranged by his majestic brother. Is his brother deliberately testing his sincerity or, in short, Gu Beichen feels that his brother's move is not clever, but on the contrary, he keeps potential opponents by his side and waits for him to grow, such a move is stupid no matter how you look at it. A hint of insult drifted through the corners of Gu Beichen's eyes.

The silver hair curled up and hung down to his ears, and at that moment even his gaze seemed to whisper, and his small nose fluttered on his delicate cheeks.

Shirley pursed her sexy red lips and stared at him intently. Yet he was like an elm, completely unaware of her presence. She played with her hair in annoyance, and the four-character label of "straight man of steel" popped up in her head.

As she expected.

Gu Beichen stared at the ice bead outside the window without moving, and slowly fell into the soaked dirt. "It's been a long time since I've slept so well, but no matter how many I have, I can't come and go as freely as the elves in this heaven and earth. He said sullenly, with great curiosity quickly looked at any corner of the room, in addition to the bright green vase on the small coffee table, there seemed to be a few more budding roses in the room, and the silence around was silent, now Gu Beichen was relieved, he completely plunged his head into the sunken pillow, and the arms around the pillow were intermittently tightened towards the position of the head pool, seeing that this posture seemed to be eager to integrate with the pillow.

Cui Xueli looked at him for a long time, and finally she couldn't help but laugh mischievously. If just now her laughter was silently snickering, now her laughter is hearty and completely unattended.

Then, a slender but powerful hand gently rested on Gu Beichen's back. In an instant, Gu Beichen sat up like an electric shock.

"You, when did you come in?"
