Chapter 7: Gathering on a Narrow Road (3)

I wanted to take a detour and leave. Helplessly, the voice of the conversation between the two came clearly.

"Who is the girl who follows Li Lao?

"Don't you know? She is the daughter of Lin Qitian of the former West Asia Group!"

"Could it be the one who jumped off the building?"

"Yes! What a brilliant West Asia Group was back then, it was the first listed real estate company in Xijing City, but with the chairman Lin Qitian jumping off the building, his wife Xu Wanrong died in a car accident, leaving a pair of children. The son has never been mentioned, and this daughter has only recently appeared in Xijing City. But this appearance is more and more watery. ”

"The bullshit is not a daughter, this forced phoenix is not as good as a chicken, no wonder it is ridiculed. I'd like to see how long a lost dog can be proud?"

"You have some virtue, this is in the Li Mansion, don't cover it up!"

"I'm not for our daughter, I wanted to use the seventieth birthday of Li Lao to match the marriage of the two families, this is good, kill a hairless phoenix halfway, then Li Yuanzheng is on the momentum, you don't want to have a relationship with their family?"

"Okay, this plan can't be done, there is still a plan, there is a better one among these young talents today. ”

"You're talking about Gu... I forgot about this stubble, since ancient times, business and politics are one family, if the two of us can join forces. That's the best way to go. Let's go, let's go and explore Zhu Dong's tone first. ”

It wasn't until the couple walked away together that I crossed out of the bushes, not because I had a penchant for picking up people's walls, but because I was talking to them, and I could only listen to them thoroughly.

I'm not offended by their remarks. They were right, I had indeed gone from being a little princess who was loved by everyone to being a spurned vagabond overnight. After the death of his parents, the West Asia Group declared bankruptcy, all the property in his parents' names was seized by the bank, and the younger brother was taken up by his uncle.

During that time, no matter where I hid, I could be found by the group of debt collectors, and then they made it difficult, scolded, and even beaten...... I lived a hellish life.

It was Uncle Li and Li Xin who found me and took me back to the old house, with their help, I changed my name and surname and returned to my mother's hometown.

The heavens will not destroy me, but they will help me to be strong.

But they were wrong about one thing, and that was that the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and I was down, but not barren.

"Are you looking for me?" a cold voice interrupted my thoughts.

I looked up, and Gu Qichen was standing in front of me for some time.

He was dressed today in a well-tailored dark blue suit, which set off his perfect figure with a straight and stylish look. The sword eyebrows fly obliquely into the sideburns, the eyes are deep, the nose is stiff and the jawline is delicate and angular jawline, handsome and charming.

The difference between him and Li Xin is that Li Xin always has a warm smile on his face, while he is always cold and detached.

"Yes!" I replied frankly. "Thank you that night!"

"If it's for gratitude, you don't have to. If it's any girl, I'll help!"

In other words, I was just a passerby in his eyes.

"Are your injuries better?"

"Do you feel distressed?" he said, his voice hoarse and seductive.

This way of not answering rhetorical questions caught me off guard.

I......

"May I remind you, you have just been decided, and now you are coming to the red apricot out of the wall?"

His slightly sarcastic tone made my heart tremble.

"No......" I tried to defend myself, but found that I was running out of words.

"Isn't it?" he took a step closer, so close that I could smell the crisp smell of the sun shining through the woods on him. It's so intoxicating.

"You say, what should I call you? Lin Yuxi? Xu Nian? Or the future Mrs. Li? By the way, I will first congratulate you, congratulations on the fulfillment of your long-cherished wish for many years!"

His gradually cold gaze and unwarm words completely crushed my heart.

I had to leave as soon as possible to get my emotions in order to get my thoughts about the collapse of the levee.

I walked briskly.

Unexpectedly, with one foot in the air, the whole person went straight to the weeds.

Even if Gu Qichen caught me steadily, he still stumbled.

I let go of his grip and tried to walk slowly forward, and immediately I felt a piercing pain in my left ankle.

I endured the pain and walked forward without saying a word, and with each step, my left foot seemed to be stepping on the tip of a knife.

"Is it broken?" Gu Qichen's voice was eager.

My left wrist was clamped in his hand, and I couldn't move. I quickly moved the jade bracelet on my wrist to its position.

I usually wear a wrist guard on my left wrist, but today I am wearing a cheongsam, and it is particularly abrupt to wear a wrist guard, so I put on a jade bracelet to embellish it, which can cover the traces on it.

Fortunately, Gu Qichen didn't pay attention to this small action.

He stepped forward, half-crouched at my feet, and reached for the strap of my heels.

"Don't!" I hurriedly bent down to stop him, and asked in a pleading tone, "Can you get someone to come and help?"

He turned a deaf ear, his hands did not stop, and the laces of his shoes had been untied by him.

Then, he took out a silk handkerchief from his suit pocket, carefully spread it on the bare ground, and carefully moved my foot from the high heels to the silk handkerchief, his slender fingertips gently swaying on the sprained spot, and treating it reverently like a work of art.

But even so, my head was still sweating.

He raised his head, there was a trace of unbearability in his eyes, and his tone was unusually gentle: "The joint is dislocated, the left foot must not be forced, bear with it, I will take you to the hospital immediately." ”

was immediately picked up by him.

My heart panicked along with the vacated body, and I struggled in his arms, "Gu Qichen, you let me down!"

"If you want this foot to be wasted, move it. There was anger in his voice.

"Hurry up and let me down, I beg you, just go find someone else! You can't carry me back like this. "I'm already crying.

He didn't pause in his footsteps, as if he was holding back: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that your future husband will be embarrassed? You will really save face for him!"

What am I afraid of?

If we are like this, if anyone sees it, it will be Grandpa Li who will be embarrassed, and his words at the birthday banquet will become the laughing stock of others.

"Don't worry, I'm just here for humanitarian help. It's like picking up a cat or dog with a broken leg on the street!" he said this cruelly, and then ignored me.

My struggle was in the crook of his solid arm, like an egg on a stone. It's impossible to shake it.

From my point of view, his jawline was tight and his face was grim.

"What's wrong with Nian Nian?" a warm voice broke the secret rivalry between me and Gu Qichen.
