It was obviously early in the morning, but when I looked at the dark night sky, I could only vaguely see a vague figure that gradually disappeared into the miasma.

In the morning, Gu Beiming suddenly received an accountability call from his father's secretary from the company's president's office. The more I worry about something, the more I will come. After the violent sound that shook the whole building, Gu Beiming broke into his room panting, followed by a cool breeze through the hall, and the milky white curtains hanging around Gu Beiming's bed flew up like streamers. Gu Beiming threw all the clothes in the closet on the ground as if protesting, and then he ran to the cloakroom again, this time he took out six watches from his desk, and his strong brother ran around in front of him with a panicked look, realizing that something was wrong Gu Beichen muttered secretly in his heart, but he couldn't do anything except look at his brother blankly. The brother who rushed over had a posture of knocking himself out of a concussion, Gu Beichen hurriedly turned around and quickly rubbed his frightened heart. Gu Beiming hurriedly packed his clothes, and then sat in the car with a sad face.

The appointed time was approaching, and no director appeared in the small living room on the top floor. Looking at the brilliant crystal light under the window, Gu Beiming's face was covered with haggard dark marks. It seemed that it was useless to say more, and looking around the empty room, he was more willing to believe that it was his father who had done something to do than those people who had defected. was so angry that even those people didn't know what to say anymore, Gu Beiming, slammed the table with his fist.

"President, what else do you have to say when you asked me to come to the conference room?" The conference room was inexplicably shrouded in a strange atmosphere, as if a sudden shower was brewing nervously. Lian Xun stretched his shoulders, Gu Beiming looked at Lian Xun as if a blind man had just regained his sight, and he suddenly felt a faint strangeness to the man in front of him.

"What else can the two of us talk about? I'm thinking about how to ask you for a list of Gu Group personnel, whether it is authority, shares, and those veterans with honorary titles, none of them can be missed. Before the meeting, I want to refresh my thinking, which was the reason I asked you to come to the conference room early, but now it seems that I have not entrusted you with this important work, which is a blessing in disguise. Because until yesterday, I couldn't see who you really are, because I remember you sitting next to Gu Beichen. ”

Goosebumps suddenly appeared on Lian Xun's arm, Gu Beiming didn't seem to see anything, he muttered quietly.

"However, compared to you who are impartial, the directors of the company, large and small, have promised countless times that they will always stand behind me and seek my protection, and now their delay makes me doubt my life even more. According to the usual practice, the first ten minutes of the meeting should be full, and now half an hour has passed, and no one has come. ”

Seeing that Lian Xun didn't answer, Gu Beiming couldn't help but sigh. "It seems that the merchants are so different. ”

"I thought the president would think it was my handiwork. ”

Gu Beiming looked at him worriedly, the raindrops outside the window were getting denser and denser, and his heart kept drumming. Although Gu Beiming was very angry about the uncontrollable scene, the corners of his mouth were still smiling.

"I'm really kidding, if you have such a skill, I can't stand across from you and talk to you right now. ”

"It's probably me who should be worried, so you didn't poison the soy milk, president. ”

"If I could have done that, I would have done it three years ago, when you first contradicted me here in front of the trustees. Gu Beiming had a smile in his eyes, and he couldn't see any hypocrisy.

"Looks like you hate me to the core. After a short period of relaxation, Lian Xun seemed to suddenly remember something, and he said again.

"Then do you want me to send a text message in your name and ask them to come to the office quickly. Lian Xun looked at his watch frequently, and he asked with some embarrassment.

"What are you asking them to do? and they're coming to a meeting to see me make a fool of myself. Look at what kind of stupid thing I've been doing with my hard work in the past few years, in the eyes of my father's cronies, I, the president, must have done a good job, at least I learned to resist public opinion, right?"

"Cronies of the President, you are not going to divide me into your father's camp until now. ”

Gu Beiming stared at Lian Xun vigorously, Lian Xun was curious about this question, and he couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

Seeing that Lian Xun did not avoid his gaze at all, Gu Beiming smiled brightly.

"My gut told me that the meagre verbal appointments at yesterday's family meeting must have been brought to the company by someone, and everyone had already foreseen the terrible situation I was about to face. ”

"President, you're thinking too much, didn't you just say that everyone in the company is a big and small businessman. As a merchant family, you should know how to choose between profit and righteousness. And I just came down from the president's room and didn't see the president and the second young master of Beichen. ”

"As for you, if you were one of those people, you wouldn't be standing by my side right now. Sometimes I really don't know what you think. While groveling in front of my father, while obeying orders behind me, and yesterday after the family meeting, you saw Gu Beichen without permission. As my person, it is too suspicious that you have not revealed Beichen's intentions to me in the first half of your life. If it was my father's person, then my doubts would be solved. How are you going to explain it to me, your current superior, who is me? ”

"We didn't talk about the company, we just talked about something else. ”

"A man with a strong sense of ambition can still have private affairs in his heart. As he spoke, Gu Beiming's eyes were very empty. He said mockingly.

"You should know that he used to be a good friend of mine. When you were eighteen years old and just took over the company's affairs, I was honest with you, have you forgotten?" Jiang Lianxun said instinctively.

"That's right, if you can even cut off friendships, I think I can't easily trust what you say. The door is hidden, the seat opposite is still empty, and he has not yet given up his position, and his arrangement has not played any role, which is undoubtedly a great shame in the eyes of Gu Beiming, who takes the affairs of the Gu Group as the core of his life.

"I remember when I first joined Gu's, I became familiar with the company's affairs with your help. At that time, I thought you were mysterious, and sure enough, my hunch was always online. ”

"I also said that you are the only one of the President's two sons who is the most like the President, but you are very different from the President's tough iron fist. ”

"So how do you think of me compared to my father? Is it possible that I will be the next him? Maybe in Brother Lian Xun's eyes, I'm no different from him. ”

Gu Beiming's eyes looked empty, while Lian Xun's eyes were like a vast sea with no end in sight. Even if he just stared at Beiming quietly.

"It's not..."

In just a few minutes, Gu's villa was filled with thrilling speed and furiousness. With a muffled sound of "plopping", Gu Kailin's second fainting shocked the vitality of everyone in this house. And such a gripping scene happened when Beiming was preparing for a short meeting for the company.

The rain was pounding on the windows covered with white mist. Gradually, the raindrops, as fine as needles, spread out in concentric circles. In the home where there were no children, only a woman who could not see the light, Gu Kailin lay lonely and desperate on the floor stained red with blood.

"President!"

"How about you, President. ”

"President...!"

Zheng Shijing's shouting became more and more anxious, and she banged hoarsely on the locked study door. "What should I do, President, don't think about our son Beichen. The nanny rummaged through the key tray but couldn't find the spare key to Gu Kailin's study, it seemed that no matter how anxious she was, she couldn't open the door! Zheng Shijing couldn't care about a lot or even her identity as the mistress of the Gu family, she slammed into the door and tried to knock the door open, with every effort she made, except for the hot flow, only the suffocating sound of running water remained.

"President Gu?"

"Did you hear that?"

The door that had been half-opened by the housekeepers and nannies was stained a shocking red with blood everywhere on the floor that shimmered with dark light. In the middle of the gathering of blood is a milky white loungewear stained red by blood.

Zheng Shijing panicked, she froze in place, and her crying voice trembled uncontrollably with Gu Kailin's convulsive body.

Gu Kailin's face was extremely pale, and the pieces of lips that were pouring blood from the corners of his mouth were like destroyed leaves, and if it weren't for a few fine lines, they would be as transparent as melting snow.

"From .. Rise.... Get up, and beg don't scare me. ”

Gu Kailin, whose limbs were twitching, looked at Zheng Shijing's eyes and was dark, he could no longer feel what kind of baptism the silent world was suffering from heavy rain at this moment. Seeing that the home clothes were completely soaked in blood, Zheng Shijing knelt on the ground and shouted desperately. But the man heard nothing, and the blood that flowed quietly from his body swirled and blossomed beneath him. Slowly, the flower climbed all the way from under him and bloomed on his chest.

The frenzied sound of the wind mingled with the roaring rain, instantly drowning out her blood-spurting cry of despair.

Zheng Shijing, who had been shouting desperately for a long time, finally collapsed on the ground, she didn't shout, but stared blankly at the quiet and transparent figure in the pool of blood. The blood-red floor, the black crowd, under the fine rustle of the rain and wind, the whole room was soaked in dry blood, and those nannies wearing uniform black and white uniforms were like several pillars of white light slowly gathering around Gu Kailin.

Beiming and Beichen, who had just received the notice, rushed to the hospital with a worried face. looked at Gu Kailin lying calmly under the line of various instruments. Like a dying animal, at the mercy of those doctors. Gu Beichen felt like he had a nightmare that he couldn't get out of, and his trembling breathing lingered more and more painfully. Gu Beiming was pestled in front of the hospital bed like a statue, his chest trembled slightly, and his hand shrunk in the suit clenched hard. Lian Xun slowly stepped back, feeling a cold crust on his back.

On the window of the corridor, the radiant blades swayed boringly, and Gu Beiming looked at the asphalt road facing the street with great concentration. His eyes were wide open, and his hands that had just been pulled out of his suit were covered with fine and sticky sweat.

"It was a massive cerebral hemorrhage, but fortunately it did not hurt the brainstem. However, considering the current physical condition of the president, the hospital does not recommend immediate surgery. ”

Gu Kailin's attending doctor gave Gu Beiming and Gu Beichen a detailed introduction to Gu Kailin's condition.

"If you don't have surgery now, you will let him stay in a coma like this? Don't your hospitals talk about golden rescue time? You know better than me how critical my father's condition is just now. Let him stay here as he is now, observe, and if his father has an accident, will your hospital be responsible for the consequences? Don't forget that the patient in your hands is not an ordinary person, he is the president of the Gu family who is shouldering the economic pressure of the whole country!"

Gu Beiming's eyes were red, bloodshot in just one day, and his deep pupils were particularly dazzling in the reflection of the setting sun, especially embedded in the pale skin, only to see half of his British face constricted in the shadow of terror, and the other half exposed to the golden sun, which was particularly eye-catching. He shouted as if he had been deliberately provoked. Seeing his brother lose his temper like this, Gu Beichen's voice was also moist, and he grabbed his brother's hand.

"Then according to what you just said, what preparations do we have to make before the operation, and if we do what you say, my father will recover as soon as possible. So, what do you want us to work with?"

Gu Beiming turned his head to look at Beichen, and the eyes of the two brothers were also full of decadence. Looking at Gu Beichen's painful eyes, Lian Xun was stunned. Gu Beichen has always been a rebellious boy, but at the critical moment, the eyes of the two brothers were surprisingly similar.

"It is very dangerous to have brain surgery in a coma, and he is now suffering from cerebral edema and multiple infarctions, and if he is forcibly intervened, if he accidentally touches a ruptured blood vessel, the consequences will only be more serious. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the only way to do it now is to take conservative treatment first, and then make the next plan when he regains consciousness. ”

"Conservative treatment?!It's because your hospital can't give a treatment plan? Don't think you're going to confuse me with your professional remarks. ”

"If the patient's family strongly requests immediate surgery, sign the back of this form, the hospital has already made a risk report, and you will have to bear all the consequences. ”

Regarding the Gu brothers' doubts, the attending doctor really could not give a satisfactory answer. Hearing the intermittent argument of the three people outside the door, Zheng Shijing's hands trembled and folded into a cross, she leaned over and gently put her face close to Gu Kailin's weak breathing jaw, and while hearing that there was no solution at present, the tears gushing out like waves quietly spread into the corners of Gu Kailin's dry mouth.

"That means the child's father can only rely on these machines to maintain his vital signs, right? According to what you just said, doctor, if my husband never wakes up, is it going to be unconscious forever, and in your medical field, like him is called a vegetative person. ”

Wen Suli, who was a step late, walked behind her son Gu Beiming unhurriedly, and she had been silently listening to the conversation between the two brothers and the doctor just now, and she was obviously fully prepared. Unlike their bitter expressions, Wen Suli's expression was as serene as that of a stranger who had not intended to pass by.

"It's really embarrassing to tell the truth in front of the patient's family, but you can tell us the truth, and we should be mentally prepared. How long will he live if he is unconscious and needs oxygen from the machine? If he dismantles the machine at any time, he will die instantly. I am the mother of the children, and the man lying in the hospital bed is my husband. I think I should have more say than they do. And you should listen to my opinion. Wen Suli asked casually. If the fierce gaze could be turned into a sharp weapon, then Wen Suli would have died tens of thousands of times, even if he felt Gu Beichen's fierce gaze at him. Wen Suli didn't seem to hear the sound of Beichen's whole body clanging, and she was still pretending to be concerned.

"Father will wake up. Gu Beiming figured out the situation at a glance, and he looked at his mother quietly.

"Then prepare for the worst. After all, your father is not an ordinary person, even if he lies here, he still holds the lifeblood of the Gu family in his hands. And you, all you have is a part of the shares and the power of agency. If this old guy dies, then all these things will be counted. Don't forget that your real enemy is standing here, and you can't take it lightly. ”

Gu Beichen shouted and pushed away Lian Xun, who was tugging on his shoulder, and he ran in front of Wen Suli like an arrow.

"I really envy President Gu, if it weren't for the fact that I had so many filial sons by my side, how could I have so many filial sons by my side. By the way, it seems that there is someone missing. What about your mother, why didn't she come with her, if it weren't for the bastard she left behind, I would have thought that she had been thrown elsewhere with a huge amount of money?

Wen Suli looked at Gu Beichen with a sneer, and Gu Beichen stared at her with a wary expression. "Go back and tell your mom that the president may never wake up. You told her to hurry up and find her next home, so that she wouldn't fall ill on Anseong Street one day, and I had to mobilize my connections to help her contact the nursing home. ”

The war really started at that moment! Gu Beichen and Wen Suli looked at each other without giving in. Gu Beiming hesitated for a while, he calmly stopped in front of Gu Beichen, and looked at Wen Suli with a solemn face. Gu Beichen's swallowing sound became more and more rapid, and Gu Beiming spoke before him.

"When everyone is very nervous and extremely sad, my mother said that this is not appropriate. Didn't you just say that it was your husband who was lying on the hospital bed? Or is it that my mother has been looking forward to this day for a long time? ”

"Patience until this day seems to be the wisest choice of my life. As soon as Chairman Gu Kailin falls, 11% of the shares in my hands will officially play a role, plus the 23.5% shares in the hands of Beiming and the various resources accumulated in the Gu family, I think we will soon turn defeat into victory. Let's take a look, Gu Beichen This is the role of household registration. It is an indisputable fact that if you take all the borrowed shares that your father has given you, you will be reduced to penniless beggars. I am glad that the humiliation I have endured for so many years will end with your displacement. ”

Wen Suli was looking at Beichen with a smile, until the scene of Zheng Shijing, who had taken away his family in the ward, crying so embarrassedly beside the bed of the heartless Gu Kailin, slowly reflected on the dark window, Wen Suli's smile slowly converged.

"Didn't you say that no visitors were allowed outside of the family? But that's fine, otherwise you will change from a wealthy concubine to a beggar woman overnight, and it is easy for people to go to extremes without any psychological preparation. Now I know that I will die an ugly death, even if I don't know how I will die to leave the circle of the upper class, I will no longer have undesirable desires. Don't cry and shout at that time, looking for death and life! ”

Wen Suli sneered and looked at Zheng Shijing, who was hazy with teary eyes. Don't forget that the person who made you look like you was not me, but your angry son. If he had accepted Gu's shares early on and served in Gu's, he would not have caused such an ugly situation as today. And if the old guy had arranged a family marriage early, maybe I would never have been able to get rid of the hatred of taking my husband, this is what people often say about making people happy, and sure enough, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. Wen Suli smacked his tongue regretfully.

"And you and my sweetest son. Wen Suli looked back at Gu Beichen nonchalantly. "People only have an epiphany about what they want when they go through the ups and downs, so you should study hard in the cruel reality. Slowly you will find that you are living in a world of desire to snatch and be robbed, trampled and trampled on. Especially when you degenerate from a radiant young master to a poor bastard, and suffer from the cold eyes of your friends, you can understand why your mother must take you to live this life under the fence in the first place. There is no one in this world who can let go of wealth. In the face of wealth, your dreams are worthless. ”

"If my mother is here to gloat, please go back. Now patients and their families need a quiet environment. ”

"That's right, now that the battle for property is about to start, all of us need a calm brain. ”

"My mother is busy with work, so she doesn't have to come to the hospital anymore. ”

"Of course I won't come to the hospital again. How can an ex-wife still have nostalgia for her ex-husband. And what you want to say to Gu Beichen and that slut, haven't you already heard it with your own ears? Although I haven't been given the opportunity to visit, I have already learned about the physical condition of the president, okay, I'll go back to school first, and the next time I see you will be your father's funeral, remember to inform me in advance, for the sake of these shares, I will definitely give you a good time. Wen Suli pursed her lips and smiled, and when she passed by Gu Beichen's side, her eyes were full of pity when she stopped for a while.

watched Wen Suli walk to the elevator with his head held high. Gu Beichen leaned against the wall weakly. There was a dim light in the hallway, not very dark, but it was impossible to see his face.

Lian Xun looked at Beichen, and then at Gu Beiming, Gu Beiming's eyes were blank and empty, and Lian Xun suddenly didn't know what to do. But his footsteps unconsciously moved closer to Gu Beiming's direction.

"President?!" Lian Xun, who had been silently watching the two brothers beside Gu Beiming, suddenly asked.

Gu Beiming looked at Beichen with a painful look in his eyes, he shrunk into a ball like a little hedgehog and slowly slipped off the wall. He sighed distressedly, walked to Gu Beichen's side and slowly squatted down.

"Whatever you've just heard, don't take it personally. You're not mature enough to worry about it. Today, I am guarding here, you and Auntie go home to rest, tomorrow morning you ask Auntie to come back early for me, I have to go to the company, some work arrangements to be prepared. ”

"Brother, I can still trust my brother. ”

Beichen couldn't bear to say this. But when it comes to the situation of her mother Zheng Shijing in Gu's family. Gu Beichen could only ask with a heavy cry.

"That's why I told you, you must let my aunt take over as soon as possible tomorrow morning. And go back and prepare some changes of clothes, if Auntie can't take care of it, you need to do your best by your father's side. As for the shares that your father promised you and the plan for your future career, I will arrange it according to my father's wishes. I guess Dad wants us to go hand in hand rather than brothers fighting each other. ”

Gu Beichen nodded silently. His throat slowly tightened, and he was speechless for a moment.

"Don't think about it so much, it's not easier to take care of your father than to keep the company, go back early. And what my mother said just now, I apologize to you and my aunt on behalf of her, and I hope to get your understanding. ”

"Beiming, are you telling the truth just now?" Zheng Shijing Huo Ran pushed open the door, there were no tears in her eyes, and there were traces of dampness hidden in the small wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. Her voice was quiet, though her throat was burning and cold after choking.

"Mom, let's go home and rest. ”

Zheng Shijing stood there, staring at Gu Beiming's eyes for a long time. Suddenly, the window was slammed open by a strong wind, and the wind of the hunt ruffled her hair. Beneath the messy hair is a bloodless face. Especially those empty and blank eyes, as if they would faint anytime and anywhere.

"No, no..."Zheng Shijing shuddered, gasped, turned around and held Gu Kailin's hand again.

"I'm not leaving, what should I do if your father wakes up in the middle of the night to look for me. I can't go, I can't leave him alone. ”

Zheng Shijing muttered to himself as if talking to himself.

"Auntie, if my father wakes up, I will call Beichen, and you can also see that my father's condition is not sober overnight. We have to think long-term. ”

Lian Xun didn't look away, everything he feared most about happening still happened. But he couldn't help them at all, except to comfort them. He took heavy steps and slowly walked behind Zheng Shijing.

"Yes, ma'am, in addition to the president who made the promise, there is also me, a witness. You can go back to rest in peace. ”

"No, President, President is used to my care, otherwise you all go back and leave me alone. Let me stay with him a little longer. Zheng Shijing held Gu Kailin's hand and shook his head vigorously. "A moment, a moment. Zheng Shijing's face turned red, she hugged Gu Kailin's arm like a child, and looked at the three adults in front of her with a frightened expression.

"Auntie, your face looks very bad, I am not only worried about my father, but also for your health, if you fall down again, then what will Beichen do. You also have to think about Beichen. Without waiting for Zheng Shijing to finish speaking, Gu Beiming said gently.

"Mom. While Gu Beichen shouted Zheng Shijing in a low voice, Zheng Shijing looked at Gu Beiming silently.

There were some things that Gu Beichen didn't want to say. But looking at this situation, only when he said these words would he not touch Zheng Shijing's fragile heart again.

"You also heard what Mrs. Wen said just now. If we meet her again, it will probably be detrimental to all of us. This time, mom will listen to my brother. ”

"Yes, my aunt should know my mother's personality better than I do. Mother can't just talk about it, and since she has an unfavorable motive, I think she will definitely take action in the shortest possible time. I could feel that she was ready, just the timing. Therefore, in the coming days, we can no longer take it lightly, and the reason why I chose to stand on Beichen's side is not only my father's will, but also as a son, I don't want my mother to fall deeper and deeper into the quagmire of mistakes. Gu Beiming's tone became stronger and stronger. This time, he did not avoid everyone's surprised gaze.

In the past, Zheng Shijing didn't expect Gu Beiming to be able to meet his eyes at all, but now he stared at him intently. Before completely losing hope, Zheng Shijing had no choice but to seize this last ray of white moonlight.

"Mom, we have to get up early tomorrow, so let's go first. ”

Zheng Shijing understood what Gu Beiming meant, and she quickly packed up her clothes and put them on her body haphazardly.

After Beichen walked out of the ward, Lian Xun quickly closed the door, and then slowly walked towards Gu Beiming. Gu Beiming looked at Beichen's lonely back reluctantly, for that young boy, he had to bear such a heavy reality at the age of his early twenties, he sighed with difficulty.

"President, are you determined to stand on Beichen's side and go against your mother? Zheng Shijing, from your standpoint, you should hate her very much. ”

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Gu Beiming came back to his senses.
