Chapter 789: Those Past Events (4)

The next time Gu Yiren saw Li Chen, it was a month later at a dinner.

She accompanied her father Gu Haifeng to participate at the time, and her father told her very mysteriously that he would introduce someone to her tonight.

What do you know? At that time, she was not interested in knowing anyone, and she was not interested.

However, she knew that in the past month or so, her family had been worried about her a lot, and this dinner party was also forced by her father.

Not wanting to ruin her father's interest, she went to see her.

It's just that I didn't expect that the person introduced by my father was actually Li Chen.

She was a little shocked, but Li Chen behaved downright and generous, as if it was the first time she saw her.

He shook hands with her politely, and the gentleman introduced himself: "Miss Gu, hello, my name is Li Chen." ”

The two shook hands, his fingers warm, while her hands were slightly cool.

The father really intended to match, and specially gave the two of them time to be alone.

But she felt that her father might not understand the situation, so he did such useless work.

That day, the two of them were on the balcony of the hotel, looking at the dark night outside, there were no stars, even if the bright lights of the city were so charming.

She took a deep breath and pressed out a certain emotion that had been suppressed in her heart, and then asked softly, "...... She, is she okay? ”

Li Chen held the wine glass in his hand, his eyes looked at the night, and his expression was indistinguishable in the half-light and half-darkness.

He took a sip of the red wine in his hand, and his tone was very soft, with a hint of melancholy: "Let's go." ”

"Gone?" She didn't seem to understand.

"If you go abroad, you should ...... Won't be coming back. ”

She stood there, speechless for a moment.

The guilt that she had suppressed in the depths of her heart overflowed again, instantly merging into her limbs.

It turned out that what she destroyed was not only a life, but also a love.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm sorry. ”

It was almost a long time before she finally spoke, but it was still these three words.

Li Chen chuckled lightly and said, "You didn't feel sorry for me...... I guess it's all fate. ”

Later, the two of them didn't say anything, just stood on the balcony silently and drank all the red wine in their hands.

The wind that night gave Gu Yiren the feeling that it was so cold.

……

On the way back that night, her father asked her, "What do you think of Xiao Li?" ”

She shook her head: "He's fine...... But we don't fit. ”

But my father smiled and said, "I have rarely heard such a positive evaluation of a man from you...... Don't worry, there are many opportunities ahead. ”

She smiled: "Dad, give up, we don't have a show." ”

"If it's really no play, I won't force you."

She only laughed when she heard this, but she didn't refute it again.

Or think, it doesn't make sense.

As she expected, not long after, her father invited Li Chen over at his birthday party.

That day, Li Chen took the initiative to invite her to dance, she wanted to refuse, but because too many people were watching, she accepted.

It was the first time they had been so close to each other, and she lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him.

Even if he felt it, his eyes had been looking at her.

"You shouldn't have come." She whispered, her gaze casually swept in the direction of her parents.

Li Chen's voice was magnetic and asked, "Why?" ”

She bit her lip and said, "My father likes you very much, or rather, admires you...... He wants to match us. ”

Li Chen seemed to pause, and then said, "I know." ”

She raised her head and looked at him with a frown: "Since you know, why are you still ......"

"I think...... Maybe this is my chance......"

She was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

Without waiting for him to answer, she continued, "Are you trying to get revenge on me in this way? ”

He was stunned and laughed: "Why should I take revenge on you?" ”

She also smiled: "Do you need to say it?" Because I killed your children and destroyed your love......"

Li Chen: "......"

It seemed to laugh again: "What are you talking about?" ”

"You don't have to pretend to be garlic with me, I know ......"

She took a deep breath and said, "Although I also feel that I should be cursed and punished, you shouldn't put yourself in, Li Chen, you don't have to be like this...... What's more, I don't like you, and I can't like you, if I were you, I would go abroad to chase her back, instead of wasting time on this senseless revenge......"

Li Chen's eyes deepened a little, and he said, "You can't like me?" ”

"Yes......" She said categorically, without hesitation, not noticing the inexplicability of this key point of the man.

"But even so," she said...... I also believe that I will be punished, and I will ...... I'll definitely find a way to compensate you. So, you really don't have to. ”

Li Chen looked at her, and after a moment, asked, "So...... Do you have someone you like? ”

It's impossible to like him, so there must be someone who likes him, is that how you understand it?

She smiled and nodded, "Yes...... I have. ”

"Why aren't they together?"

She thought of the reason and said nonsense: "I know ...... abroad I went back to my home country and then parted. ”

He smiled again: "Then it seems that there is not much love." ”

"I'll go to him...... Sooner or later. ”

"Why didn't he come to you?"

She raised her head, her handsome face facing him, and there was a defiant glint in her eyes: "It's like you won't go abroad to recover your fiancΓ©e...... Aren't you men so ruthless? ”

She felt that her wrist hurt, and it was Li Chen's fingers that tightened.

She gritted her teeth: "What do you do?" ”

His movements seemed to be gentler again, and the corners of his mouth seemed to bring a smile.

He held her in his arms, and the music of the dance music around him continued, very soft, very beautiful.

She heard the man whisper in her ear, "Don't you think fate is magical?" My fiancΓ©e went abroad and I was left behind. You returned from abroad, and your fiancΓ© was also left abroad by you, and then, we met, and we happened to be single...... Is this a kind of fate? ”

Her brow furrowed, trying to break free from his arms, but she suddenly held her tighter.

"Don't you feel indebted to me? So, how about marrying me? I'm twenty-eight years old, marriageable age, I need a wife, I originally had one, but you knocked me out, don't you have to make up for me? ”

She struggled again: "You're just crazy......"

"Or maybe there's another reason you can really help my ......"

He said again: "My advertising agency is still in the development stage, because of the departure of one of the partners, there are some situations within the company, and I need the help of the Gu family and the Gu family...... No, you may not have to help me personally at all, as long as I am contaminated with the Gu family, I can naturally use my means to attract investment ......"

"Gu Yiren, I need the identity of the Gu family's son-in-law...... Will you give it to me? ”
