Chapter Seventy-Eight: You Were Born Excellent
"It's better for me to be narrow-minded than for you to intervene in other people's feelings!" Jiang Yu looked at her with disdain: "Don't think I don't know about you seducing Gu Nanchen, what's the matter? Your best friend finally couldn't stand it anymore and let Mr. Gu sweep you out of the house?!"
Jiang Xiaobei's face turned pale: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Am I talking nonsense?" Jiang Yu sneered: "You know in your heart why you left Binhai back then, and now you have come to the mother's son and filial piety?" Don't you feel disgusting?"
Jiang Xiaobei looked at her expressionlessly: "It's that you are so afraid that I will return to the Jiang family, it seems that you are really jealous of my identity." β
"Just you?"
"It's up to me. Jiang Xiaobei looked at her coldly: "With me, you will always be from the Jiang family, do you think that with the thought that you are still your father, there will be another Jiang family who can support you to stand on your own after a few years of struggle, huh?"
"You said that you are going to rob Ling Han from me?"
Jiang Xiaobei glanced at her mockingly: "If you are willing to think like this, I can't help it." After closing his words, Jiang Xiaobei was too lazy to entangle with her anymore, turned around and walked towards the hall.
Jiang Yu, who stayed in place, gradually turned cold in his eyes.
"Miss, Mr. Gu is here, and the master will let you go over by name. Lin Sang found it easily, and Jiang Xiaobei hurriedly stepped forward.
"Mr. Gu, what do you say about Gu Nanchen?" Jiang Xiaobei was a little surprised.
"Yes. Lin Sang motioned for her to follow. Jiang Xiaobei followed his line of sight and saw that everyone was surrounded by the man with a long figure.
Perhaps her gaze was too eye-catching, and the man's gaze slowly fell on her across the crowd. Jiang Xiaobei's heart tightened inexplicably, and he stepped forward slowly: "Dad, Mr. Gu." β
"Xiaobei, you are really, why don't you say it early if you invite Mr. Gu. Jiang Wanli pretended to be angry and said: "Mr. Gu said that when you were a consultant in the design department of Gu's Group, it took a lot of effort to win the project for him, is there such a thing?"
Jiang Xiaobei couldn't hear that he was deliberately showing off in front of everyone, but she recalled Jiang Yu's words, and she still couldn't stop feeling sad in her heart.
It's better to take this opportunity to completely draw a line with him.
"It's all Mr. Gu's false praise, I'm just doing my own thing. Jiang Xiaobei smiled lightly: "It's that Mr. Gu is busy, how can he attend Jiang's cocktail party today." β
Gu Feng on the side could hear the sense of alienation in Jiang Xiaobei's words, not to mention Gu Nanchen himself.
Although Gu Nanchen was angry that she "crossed the river and demolished the bridge", he recalled that in the past few years, he indirectly or even directly made her bear the grievances that she should not have beared, and he was still soft-hearted and not angry.
"Miss Jiang is modest, who doesn't know that you are a closed disciple of Milan's "fashion godmother", some time ago the dress you designed "born like a summer flower" was auctioned for a considerable price, and made a lot of contributions to the Binhai Charity Foundation. Gu Nanchen slowly shook the red wine glass: "This kind of vision and talent are not comparable to the daughters of ordinary families, Jiang Dong really gave birth to a good daughter." β
"Huh...... Is it?" Jiang Wanli smiled all over his face: "You kid didn't tell your father, if it wasn't for Mr. Gu mentioning it today, I wouldn't have known that you were already so sensible." β
"Mr. Gu really praises falsely, speaking of vision, where can I compare to Mr. Gu's contribution to the development of Binhai City in recent years. Jiang Xiaobei threw the words back without being salty.
"......" Gu Nanchen's eyes fell on her faintly, and the people around her suddenly felt that the air pressure was much lower.
"I heard that Gu is engaged to the young lady of the Shen family, but unfortunately, the young lady of the Shen family is Xiaobei's best friend, why didn't you see her coming with her today?" Jiang Wanli was afraid of missing the opportunity to climb with the Gu family.
Gu Nanchen frowned lightly, and said lightly: "Dong Jiang, Miss Jiang is very talented, and I hope you don't bury the talent, otherwise it will be in vain for me to let her leave the Gu family." β
"Yes, yes, naturally, when Xiaobei comes back this time, I will definitely let her have enough say in the company, and I will definitely not bury her. β
"Well, Gu's has moved to many domestic projects in recent years, and Jiang's, as an old enterprise in Binhai City, has many opportunities for cooperation. β
"Nature, nature. Jiang Wanli was 10,000 satisfied in his heart, who said that it was useless to have a daughter. In his opinion, whether the Jiang family can come back to life or take a step closer depends on his daughter! It's a pity that Gu Nanchen is already engaged, otherwise if the two families can climb into the in-laws, then there will really be no worries for the Jiang family!
"Miss Jiang, I salute you for this cup and wish you a bright future. Gu Nanchen picked up the champagne on the side and handed it to her.
Jiang Xiaobei hesitated for a moment and then took it, and said with an unclear emotion: "Then I wish Mr. Gu a happy marriage." With a shut-up, she took her glass and drank it down.
β¦β¦
At night, Jiang Xiaobei washed off his fatigue and sat cross-legged on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Suddenly, she recalled Gu Nanchen's last look, and her heart ached inexplicably. Why did she feel a trace of sadness in his eyes?
It shouldn't be like this, since he has already chosen Shen Qingyin, why does he still have that expression.
Is it because of guilt?
"Click"
In the silence of the night, the sound of the door lock opening is particularly abrupt. Jiang Xiaobei trembled and turned around to see the man's long figure in the dim light.
Gu Nanchen raised his head and saw Jiang Xiaobei looking at him with a wary face.
"It's me, scared you?"
Jiang Xiaobei breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered that something was wrong: "What are you doing here?" It's so late, isn't Mr. Gu afraid that others will misunderstand?"
Gu Nanchen slowly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms: "You have to talk to me like this?"
Jiang Xiaobei was taken aback by his actions, and then struggled unsuccessfully, so he had to raise his head and meet the man's narrow eyes: "Have you forgotten Mr. Gu, you are my best friend's fiancΓ©, what do you want me to do to you?"
Gu Nanchen met her cold eyes, his heart ached inexplicably, and the strength in his hand unconsciously loosened.
Jiang Xiaobei withdrew his hand and took a few steps back to speak again: "Gu Nanchen, you were born excellent, I don't know how difficult it is for people like us who have no talent and need to work hard to make a living, so please let me go, okay?"
"Leave you alone...... Heh......" Gu Nanchen smiled bitterly: "You actually let me let you go, you lied to me when you said that you couldn't let go of the relationship when you were young?"
"What about you?" Jiang Xiaobei choked in his throat: "You said that you mistook Qingyin for me, but then you knew what you did when she asked me to leave you?"
"What did you say?" Gu Nanchen looked at her in disbelief: "Shen Qingyin asked you to leave me?"
