A few days later, Su Yuebai signed a cooperation contract with Yichao Magazine. And Gu Tingchen's side also collected evidence of the conspiracy between Liang Qiongyu and Pan Fei.

It didn't take long for Gu Tingchen to take Liang Qiongyu to court. It's just that Pan Fei's whereabouts have been unknown.

Su Yuebai's work began to become more and more busy. Because she has to constantly work with the art trend company, she is not familiar with the field of international fashion trends, so she has a lot of new knowledge to learn.

This afternoon, when it was time to get off work, Gu Tingchen routinely came to pick up Su Yuebai.

As soon as Su Yuebai got into Gu Tingchen's car, she heard him ask, "Are you tired from work today?" ”

"It's okay. It's about the same amount of work as usual. It's good to get used to it. Su Yuebai replied with a smile.

Gu Tingchen started the car: "Actually, I want to persuade you not to be so tired, but if I say this, you must say that I don't respect your work." ”

Su Yuebai turned her head to look at him: "I know you feel sorry for me." But you know the joy of work, right? Reaching your goals step by step and seeing your efforts pay off, this sense of accomplishment, doing other things, is something you can't have. ”

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Gu Tingchen's mouth: "Of course I know this." After a pause, he added, "I've heard that the new magazine that you recently published with Yichao Magazine has sold quite well abroad, and the first circulation is in short supply at all. The electronic version is selling even more. ”

Hearing him mention this, Su Yuebai felt very relieved: "Yes." The hard work of this time has paid off. You see, that's what I just said, that incomparable sense of accomplishment. Especially when you're doing what you love. ”

The car drove smoothly all the way to the road by the river. At this moment, the sunset is all over the sky, and when you look out of the car window, you can see the magnificent river view.

"Why did you suddenly take a long detour home today?" Su Yuebai asked with some confusion.

"Relaxes your mind. During this time, you are at home and at work, and you should see more different scenery. Gu Tingchen replied to her.

Su Yuebai turned her head to look out the window, and just wanted to say something, but heard Gu Tingchen say, "I heard the housekeeper say today that Li Zhi came to our house to look for you." ”

Su Yuebai was a little surprised: "What did she come to me for?" ”

"Listening to the butler's retelling, I should be looking for you to go shopping and eat with you or something. Moreover, the housekeeper also said that she did not look very good. Looking at Gu Tingchen in front of the car, he turned the steering wheel at this time, allowing the car to turn onto a more spacious road, "To be honest, I really don't like you as a classmate." ”

She muttered to herself: "Last time, Li Zhi's psychiatrist said that she has actually been in a much better state recently. Why is it in a bad state? ”

Gu Tingchen sighed: "Su Yong has already been imprisoned. You don't have to feel guilty anymore, you've helped her a lot during this time. Dabai said before, Li Zhi always said some nonsense to Xiaobai, I don't want her to get close to our two children. You don't have anything to do with her. ”

Su Yuebai turned her head to look at him, with an embarrassed expression on her face: "But she is my classmate after all, I can't be so unkind." I promise you not to let her get near our two children. ”

Gu Tingchen's deep and charming voice came into his ears again: "Okay, let's not talk about her." Let's go back to the video blackmail from earlier. ”

"Hmm. It's already determined that Liang Qiongyu and Pan Fei are doing it, right? Su Yuebai asked.

These things have been handled by Gu Tingchen recently. She was so busy that she almost forgot about it.

"Yes. Our company's legal staff is in a lawsuit. It's just that Pan Fei's whereabouts have been unknown since he left your company. If there are no special circumstances in the case, there is a high probability that the case can be won. Gu Tingchen replied to her.

"That's good." Su Yuebai said softly almost to herself, "Otherwise, the people in the company are very angry, the fruits of our labor for so many days have been stolen, of course, the initiator will be punished." ”

"Don't worry. Our legal staff are very professional. Speaking of this, Gu Tingchen showed a faint smile on his face again, "It's my birthday next week, are you ready to give me a gift?" ”

Su Yuebai deliberately showed a slightly panicked look on her face: "It's your birthday next week?" I wasn't prepared. I've been busy for the past few days. ”

Gu Tingchen glanced at her: "You still have a week to prepare." If you don't know what I like, you may be punished. ”

In fact, Su Yuebai started preparing more than a month ago, and now she just deliberately said this in front of him. In this way, he will be much more pleasantly surprised when he receives the gift.

"Mr. Gu has been getting more and more humorous recently, and he can tell bad jokes." Su Yuebai quipped.

"Well, I didn't learn from Editor-in-Chief Su." Gu Tingchen replied to her indifferently.

In fact, Su Yuebai not only prepared a gift for him, but also held a birthday party for him. It's like the birthday party he threw himself before. However, this time, she only invited a few relatives and friends, and did not invite too many celebrities.

Because she hopes that the people at this birthday party will sincerely wish Gu Tingchen, not some celebrities who come to socialize to pass the time. Lazy people listen to books

Time flies, and soon a week passes. Today is Gu Tingchen's birthday.

Gu Tingchen had been busy in the company for a busy day, and he forgot that today was his birthday.

After he finished his work at the company, he went straight home.

Taking the elevator to the living room of the house, Gu Tingchen found that there was no one at home today. He took out his mobile phone and dialed Su Yuebai's mobile phone number, but found that no one answered.

He was a little confused, and when he got to the playroom, he didn't see her and the two children. When he got out of the hallway, he saw a maid coming towards him, and asked, "Ali, where are the wife and the two children?" ”

"I'm sorry, I don't know, Mr. Gu. I was just busy cleaning. The maid answered him.

Gu Tingchen replied with a "Okay", and was about to turn around and leave, but heard the maid say again: "Mrs. seems to have left a note for you at the coffee table in the living room before, you can go and take a look." ”

After Gu Tingchen listened to her words, he went to the coffee table in the living room. Sure enough, an ashtray was pressed on the coffee table with a pale cyan letter paper, and a line of Juanxiu handwriting was written on the paper - Tingchen, I and my two children are waiting for you in the study on the fourth floor, remember to come over after work.

The handwriting is Su Yuebai.

He muttered to himself, "What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Yuebai?" As he spoke, he walked down the stairs.

When he arrived at the study on the fourth floor, Gu Tingchen pushed open the door and walked in. There was no one in the study, but there was a piece of stationery on the desk.

He walked over to his desk and picked up the piece of paper. On the letterhead was Su Yuebai's familiar handwriting - I'm sorry, Tingchen, I don't remember preparing a gift for you in advance, and I don't remember organizing the birthday party, and now my two children and I are waiting for you to come over and eat cake on the rooftop.

Gu Tingchen smiled helplessly, then put down the letter, walked out of the study, and walked to the rooftop.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the rooftop, Su Dabai and Su Xiaobai rushed out and shouted at him in unison: "Dad, happy birthday!" ”

Gu Tingchen hugged Su Xiaobai. Su Xiaobai turned his head to look at the crowd on the rooftop, and stretched out his finger to point: "Our gifts are all on the table in front." ”

"yes, okay." Gu Tingchen said, holding Su Xiaobai and walking towards the glass round table in the center of the rooftop.

At this time, there was already a group of people sitting around the glass round table. There are a few steaming home-cooked dishes on the table, all of which he usually loves to eat. At a glance, I knew that it was Su Yuebai's own cooking.

As he walked to the table, he saw his father stand up and open a bottle of champagne in his hand. Bubbles of wine bubbled out of the bottle, and my father poured champagne into everyone's glasses as he said, "Happy birthday, Tingchen."

Su Yuebai walked up to him and handed him a glass of champagne: "Happy birthday." There are also dishes in the kitchen that will be served soon. ”

At the birthday party, apart from him and Su Yuebai's parents, who were his friends Gu Tingchen on weekdays, there were no other idle people.

I think she must have prepared for her birthday party before.

"It's a good banquet, I like it very much." After Gu Tingchen finished speaking, he took Su Yuebai's hand and sat down at the glass round table.

As soon as she sat down, Su Yuebai's mother's voice came into her ears: "I said Old Lady Gu, did you do it on purpose?" Look at my beautiful clothes, deliberately throwing the vegetable juice over? ”

Gu Tingchen frowned slightly, and Su Yuebai's mother looked over.

His mother sneered at this time: "Old lady Gu? You're the old lady, aren't you? I'm jealous of your beautiful clothes? You don't need 30,000 yuan to customize your clothes, what do I have to be jealous of, Mrs. Su? ”

Everyone present looked at the two of them, and Su Yuebai's expression was a little helpless.

"Don't use 30,000 yuan? What do you think you're wearing? Su Yuebai's mother then retorted.

Gu Tingchen looked at his father and motioned for him to control his mother's temper.

Gu Tingchen's father looked at his wife at this time: "Okay, you don't say a few words, today is Tingchen's birthday, how can a noble lady from a rich family talk like a shrew in the market?" ”

"What market shrew? Is it that Mrs. Gu is like a shrew, slandering me, okay? I accidentally got the juice on her precious clothes, and she said I was jealous of her. Am I jealous of her, do I need to be jealous of her? Their Su family is not a rich family, I'm jealous of her, isn't it a joke? ”

Gu Tingchen's mother said these words in one go, looking excited.

Su Yuebai's father looked at her at this time: "Mrs. Gu, can you pay attention to what you say?" Our Su family is not a rich family, so we are disliked by your Gu family? ”
