Chapter Seventy-One: Visual Impact
When Gu Chen and An Xiaoran returned to the villa, Borg was waiting in the hall with a dissatisfied face, his eyes fell on An Xiaoran's body, which was not friendly, but even full of hostility.
Her instincts told An Xiaoran that Borg didn't like her.
Obviously, when he was in the army hospital, his attitude was still very good, why did he suddenly change?
"Why are you here?" Gu Chen took off his coat.
"If I don't come, will you forget what I said to you? β
Borg stood up, his tall body tense, as if he were holding back a lot of discontent.
obviously took the initiative to speak, which made Gu Chen feel very good, so even if Borg's attitude was unfriendly, he was not angry. "Got gunpowder?"
"Gu Chen, I have something to say to you. β
Borg's personality has always been gentle and rarely angry. Seeing Borg's serious appearance, Gu Chen also became serious.
"Steward Zhou, that's all for today, you go back first. β
Gu Chen first supported Steward Zhou, which made Steward Zhou slightly stunned. She sensitively felt the change in Gu Chen. Gu Chen has always trusted her immensely, and she never shy away from discussing things with others in the past, what happened this time?
"Okay. β
Even if she was full of questions, she couldn't ask, so she could only silently put down her apron, and then walked out of the villa under Gu Chen's gaze.
Borg glanced at An Xiaoran again, and Gu Chen said, "Let's go to the study to talk." β
After speaking, he took the lead and went upstairs. Borg followed closely behind, and from beginning to end, he did not greet An Xiaoran.
This time, An Xiaoran can be sure that Borg has developed a prejudice against her.
With his gentlemanly character and character, he should not ignore her existence as a woman, and ignore her, there is only one reason, he doesn't like her.
An Xiaoran flattened her mouth, and she really couldn't think of where she had offended Borg. He is his mother's attending doctor, and An Xiaoran is even more worried about whether this will affect his treatment of his mother.
Walking into the study, Borg got straight to the point: "Gu Chen, how long have you known that Miss An?" Why are you still living with her, can she be trusted?"
"Why are you suddenly interested in her? β
This is not in line with Borg's character, he only cares about what is within his profession, but never cares about other people's private lives, this is his code of conduct, and it is also the quality that Gu Chen admires the most.
This time, his unusualness attracted Gu Chen's attention.
"In your body, there is a ****, by your side, there is only one exception to her, haven't you suspected that she did it?"
Gu Chen said calmly: "Of course there is, but it is only limited to suspicion, before the real murderer is found, anyone around me is suspicious." β
"However, it is clear that she is the most suspicious. This has never happened before, she appears, and you are poisoned. Also, haven't you always been close to women, why did you suddenly become interested in her......?
"Borg, what's wrong with you. Gu Chen frowned slightly: "This is not like something you can say, who told you something?"
Borg pursed his lips.
"Steward Zhou?"
"She's doing it for your good, too. She has been by your side for so many years, and if she wants to do it to you, she will definitely have no problem. I asked her about your changes, and she just told me that Miss Ann is the person who has been walking around with you the most in the last half month. You even rejected the Shao family, but you only have a soft spot for this Miss An, which makes me have to suspect that she is deliberately catering to your preferences and deliberately approaching you. β
Borg is a pure Central European, with a straightforwardness that belongs to his country. He doesn't like to beat around the bush, and if he has an opinion about whom, he will raise it without reservation.
Yes, not only Borg, but even he himself doubted An Xiaoran. The timing of her appearance is so coincidental, and the way she appears is so coincidental, she is the biggest suspect from any point of view.
"No matter what kind of feelings you have for Miss An, you should put yourself first. You're not the kind of person who gets carried away by feelings, and the more you're in this situation, the more sensible you should be. β
He saved the woman three times and twice, and even was hospitalized for surgery because of this, Borg felt that Gu Chen's treatment of An Xiaoran had far exceeded the limits of ordinary feelings.
If An Xiaoran was really sent by the Gu family, then Gu Chen, who was caught in the whirlpool of feelings, would be very dangerous. He was Gu Chen's friend, and he had the obligation to remind him.
Gu Chen stretched out his arm, and Borg didn't understand what he meant.
"You said that this drug will only work if it accumulates in the body, and intermittent use will cause feverish side effects. β
"Not bad. β
"I want you to check the drug level in my blood right now. β
Borg looked confused: "I don't understand your intention to do this, what's the point?"
From Gu Chen's symptoms, Borg was able to judge his illness and quickly find an effective antidote, and he didn't understand why he had to take blood for testing.
"Because of the withdrawal of medicine, I had a fever reaction, and this fever symptom began after An Xiaoran appeared. β
"What does that mean? Maybe she couldn't find a chance, or something else, that's why you found out. β
"I want to do an experiment. β
"Experiments?"
"Let's see what happens if nothing changes. β
Borg remains confused.
The corners of Gu Chen's lips hooked slightly: "Borg, even you can see that An Xiaoran has a problem, do you think the Gu family will send such a person to my side?"
"You know, the more people who can't see the problem, the more problematic they are......"
β¦β¦
The project in the development zone is progressing in an orderly manner, and Lu Xingchuan successfully won the construction right of the construction sector, which is a big challenge for him.
The night was deep and thick, and the wind of the summer night stirred the branches in front of the bed, and the leaves rustled, causing the reflection in the moonlight to sway constantly.
Sitting at the desk in the study, Lu Xingchuan looked at the computer and did the final finalization of the plan.
This is the final version that he and his team did not close their eyes for three days and three nights, Lu Xingchuan was afraid that there would be mistakes, so he simply stayed up late to read the overall process to see where it needed to be supplemented.
Next to the table, there is also An Xiaoran's album.
When he came back from the army hospital, Lu Xingchuan thought that he would be slumped and heartbroken, but to his surprise, he was just sad for one night and got back on track.
Perhaps, because he has experienced too much, all his edges and corners have been smoothed out, so that any wind and waves in his eyes can be described as light and light.
Giving up on himself will not do him any good, but will give Gu Chen a chance.
Now that the incident has happened, and since An Xiaoran has become Gu Chen's woman, all he can do is to use his ability to change the status quo and then recapture An Xiaoran.
For three days and three nights, he was like a lifeless machine, operating like a spinning top, without the slightest fatigue. The staff of the team were worried about his body, and only he knew that the exhaustion of his body was far lighter than the pain of fate. He doesn't have time, it's his last chance, so he doesn't have the power to get tired.
"Xingchuan, are you still working? I have prepared coffee for you, you can drink a little and take a break. β
Suddenly, the door opened, and Gao Shanshan cautiously walked in with a cup of coffee.
When she saw the dark green in Lu Xingchuan's eyes, she was even more heartbroken: "Xingchuan, you haven't closed your eyes for a few days, and your body will be unbearable if you continue like this." No matter how busy you are, you have to sleep. β
Lu Xingchuan raised his head, he glared at Gao Shanshan coldly, and said unhappily: "Didn't I tell you?
His hoarse voice was particularly fierce.
Gao Shanshan was aggrieved: "Can't you even bring you coffee?"
Since accompanying her for the prenatal checkup and seeing An Xiaoran, Lu Xingchuan's indifference has intensified. At first, he would deal with her on the surface, but now, he didn't even bother to pretend.
She also learned later that that woman was the person Lu Xingchuan had loved for many years, and she was also his childhood sweetheart, the daughter of the famous President An Zaiguo.
Gao Shanshan was originally very confident, thinking that time could wipe everything out, as long as she was sincere enough, she would definitely make Lu Xingchuan like her. However, she was wrong, even if she treated Lu Xingchuan with all her heart, he would not look at her squarely.
Because, An Xiaoran is already deeply ingrained in his heart.
Her family background is not as good as An Xiaoran, her appearance is not as good as An Xiaoran, and even her past with Lu Xingchuan is not as unforgettable as An Xiaoran.
Gao Shanshan felt very uneasy, very lost, and even very jealous.
Lu Xingchuan didn't care about Gao Shanshan's feelings at all: "Please go out." β
"Xingchuan, I'm your wife, you can distrust your father, but you can't distrust me. Whatever your decision is, I'm on your side. β
"Get out!"
Lu Xingchuan lost his patience, he stayed up all night, he was already anxious, and he didn't have the heart to deal with Gao Shanshan anymore.
Gao Shanshan almost shed tears aggrievedly, but she couldn't cry, because, even if she cried, Lu Xingchuan would not pity her at all.
"Do you hate me that much? Xingchuan, I just want to be nice to you, and I don't mean anything else. I allow you to like others, even to dislike me, and I've done enough as your wife, but isn't that enough? Why, you always snub me like this. β
Lu Xingchuan's eyebrows throbbed.
He hated Gao Shanshan's aggrieved appearance, which couldn't help but remind him of her flattering face during the countless nights he was imprisoned.
He and An Xiaoran couldn't be together because of Gao Shanshan, if it wasn't for the law, he would have killed her.
"Get out of here, don't bother me!"
Lu Xingchuan's voice was a little colder, like a demon from hell, without the slightest mercy.
Gao Shanshan held her stomach and nodded desperately.
What could she do? This is the husband she has chosen, and she should have been prepared from the moment she forced him to marry her. She overestimated herself too much, and she underestimated An Xiaoran's position in Lu Xingchuan's heart.
She can't imagine that there will be a man in this world who is so persistent to a woman, even if the other party already has a belonging, even if he is married, he will stick to it without any change.
She really envied An Xiaoran, if she could get such an unswerving love, she would definitely die happily, but An Xiaoran didn't cherish it......
"Bastard, who are you yelling at!"
As soon as Gao Shanshan turned around, she saw a tall figure angrily pushing the door and entering. She was stunned for a moment and exclaimed, "Dad, why are you here?"
From the moment he learned that Lu Xingchuan was in violation of the Yin and went to handle the handover procedures of the development zone in name, but in fact, he was using the Gao family's company to engage in a relationship with T&G, and his anger ran upwards uncontrollably, and on the way from City A, the angry flames burned higher and higher, until he heard Lu Xingchuan and Gao Shanshan talking in the study.
His whole face turned red with rage.
"Shanshan, she is your wife, she is still pregnant, you don't care about her if you don't sleep so late, but let her go! Lu Xingchuan, your conscience let the dog eat?!"
Zhan Maoyong's sudden visit, Lu Xingchuan was also unexpected. He stood up quickly, but his hand quietly pressed the computer lock, and then turned it off.
"Dad, it's not what you think. It's me who is not good, disturbing Xingchuan's work, he is very busy these days, and I don't know anything and I know that I am making trouble next to him, and he is also annoyed by me so much that he will yell at me. Dad, why don't you say hello when you come, I'll let the driver pick you up. β
Zhan Maoyong looked at Gao Shanshan, his face was a little softer: "You kid, you know how to speak for him." He's my son, I don't know if he's making a mess, it's just that he doesn't clean up, and after all these years of freeing him up in City C, he thinks his wings are stiff, and he doesn't even take my words to heart!"
Lu Xingchuan frowned: "Gao Shanshan, you go out first." β
Gao Shanshan knew that when it came to business, she was not suitable to stay here, "Then Dad, I'll go out first, I'll let the housekeeper arrange the room for you, and you can take a hot shower before sleeping." β
Zhan Maoyong squeezed out a smile: "Don't bother, I'll take the driver and leave tonight." You've got a body, go to sleep. β
Her father-in-law cared about her much more than Lu Xingchuan, Gao Shanshan didn't know whether to be moved or sad, so she answered a sentence and walked out of the study in disappointment.
Seeing Gao Shanshan close the door, Zhan Maoyong turned around and immediately changed his face: "Why do you want to cooperate with Gu Chen!"
"It's nothing, I just think it's a good opportunity and I shouldn't give it up. β
"Why can't the land in the development zone be moved, don't you know? I finally got a place in front of the president, and you did this to slap me in the face in front of everyone!"
"We have always had a good relationship with the President, and you didn't need to give up the development zone. And I don't think that if we give up the development zone, the president will be completely on our side, he is not that kind of person. β
"You're too naΓ―ve!" Zhan Maoyong approached with his back and opposed him across the table: "Give you three days to immediately stop the construction plan and complete the handover procedures." We can't swim in the muddy waters of the development zone!"
"That's what you think, I don't think so. Moreover, I went to talk to T&G about cooperation in the name of the Red Star Group, which has nothing to do with the Zhan Group!"
"You ......"
Zhan Maoyong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you want to break up with Lao Tzu?!"
Lu Xingchuan sneered: "Dad, from the moment my mother and I left the Zhan family, I am not a member of the Zhan family, what else are you talking about." β
Lu Xingchuan's words made Zhan Maoyong's heart stop for a while, his own son, in turn, did not recognize himself, what a great failure and humiliation for a father.
"Just for a woman?"
