Chapter 60 Drawing the Line
Gu Xinran went out very early, just because she didn't want to see Ke Shaochen. However, her wishful thinking was shattered an hour later, and Ke Shaochen swaggered into her office without even knocking on the door.
Gu Xinran looked up at him, lowered his head again, and said lightly: "Go out." β
"That's how Mr. Gu treats your business partners?" Ke Shaochen smiled and sat opposite her, reached out and took her cup, took two sips, and the water cup bottomed out.
"Then may I ask Mr. Ke, come to my Gu family in person, what business do you want to talk to me about?" Gu Xinran put down his phone, and before he came in, he was looking for a suitable listing on the website of the house for rent.
Ke Shaochen's gaze swept over her mobile phone, and with just one glance, he frowned. The sharp and deep gaze was once again focused on Gu Xinran's face, and he looked cold as if he was going to eat her: "What are you doing here, you want to find a house and move out of the villa?" β
Gu Xinran didn't plan to hide it, or he would have closed the website as early as the moment he came in: "Mr. Ke is about to have a girlfriend, and it's not good for me to live with you anymore." In case of unnecessary misunderstandings, I don't have anything to do with myself, anyway, my reputation has spread far and wide, and it's not good for you to even affect Mr. Ke. β
She is a Mr. Ke, and she wants to find a house and move so grandly. Ke Shaochen's face became more and more ugly, he knew that she had such an attitude, and he would not come to the Gu family to be angry in vain if he was killed.
After Gu Xinran slammed the door and went out last night, he didn't step into Ke Shaochen's bedroom again, and when he came this morning, he was told that Gu Xinran had gone out to work.
He knew that yesterday's words were right, but it was true, and he didn't want to lie to her. If he failed to seek peace, he was thrown in the face, and according to his previous temper, he would have slammed the door and gone out.
But he can't leave now, in case Gu Xinran really finds a house and decides to move out, the person who should cry should be him.
So we must dispel the idea of her moving away from the roots.
"Did I say you moved out? Don't be sentimental and always think about things so complicated. Ke Shaochen picked up a photo frame on the table and looked at it: "We had an agreement before, unless I'm tired of you, don't want to escape from my Five Finger Mountain." β
Gu Xinran also frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Then may I ask Mr. Ke, when are you tired of me." One month? Two months? Could you please inform me in advance, otherwise I will be kicked out of the door by you one day, and I am afraid that I will freeze to death on the street on such a cold day. β
"Gu Xinran, you don't talk to me in this weird way."
"Mr. Ke, I need to remind you that this is Gu's and my office."
After Ke Shaochen slammed the door and went out, he felt aggrieved in his heart. As he walked, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, full of anger, looking for someone to vent.
"What's the matter, boss, it's only a little bit, and I won't let people sleep." A lazy voice came from the other end of the phone, An Jingyuan complained dissatisfiedly, looked at his watch, and found that it was just after 9 o'clock.
"I'll give you an hour to get to Dermari Winery at 10 o'clock."
"Big brother, that place is in the suburbs, even if I go there now, I'm afraid I won't be able to get there because of traffic jams on the road."
"I don't care about that, that's all."
An Jingyuan hurried to the Demari Winery, still half an hour later than they agreed.
He held a meeting until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night yesterday, all in order to rush out of a plan as soon as possible. The small island near Santorini is going to build a resort area, and it will take several months for the project to move, and considering that the formaldehyde problem cannot be opened immediately after completion, in order not to delay the normal business of the tourist season next year, the sooner the construction starts, the better.
An Jingyuan has been working for three days since he came back from vacation, and he finally got out of the plan last night, and he wanted to sleep lazily today, but he was called to the suburbs by Ke Shaochen with a phone call.
I went to the winery to drink in the morning, is Ke Shaochen serious?
As soon as he sat down, he saw that Ke Shaochen's expression was unhappy, An Jingyuan thought about it in his heart, if there was anything unhappy in the company, he would not call him to solve his doubts. In addition to work and women, who else can make this eldest young master uncomfortable.
"Why are you here now?" Ke Shaochen made a preemptive move, he had already opened a bottle of red wine, and a waiter was standing next to him, pouring him wine.
"I don't need time to get up, I don't need time to drive." An Jingyuan didn't eat anything together, and he couldn't take care of it, so he motioned to the waiter to pour him a glass too: "Find me to borrow wine to kill your sorrows, what are you messing with your baby Gu Xinran?" β
The heart was easily seen through, Ke Shaochen felt a little faceless, and suddenly drank the red wine in the wine glass, calmed down for a while, and then spoke: "Li Ruohan is back." β
An Jingyuan was shocked, he had heard Ke Shaochen say once a few years ago that he and the Li family had a marriage contract since childhood. The woman named Li Ruohan is very shrewd and has always been in charge of the Li family's overseas company. When Ke Shaochen first became the president of Ke's family, he delayed his marriage contract on the grounds of his career, and after four years, Li Ruohan came back and made it clear that he wanted to marry Ke Shaochen.
Although there was a marriage contract first, they didn't meet a few times in earnest. The day before yesterday, Ke Shaochen's father caused trouble and asked him to solve it, Ke Shaochen went back to the old house, and then he heard that Li Ruohan was back, and he was immediately forced by the family to have a meal with her.
"What are you going to do, Gu Xinran has been with you for so long, and now you get her a fiancΓ©e, who can stand it." An Jingyuan paused when he said this, and seemed to see the real reason why Ke Shaochen was looking for him to drink: "You have already confessed to Gu Xinran?" β
Ke Shaochen didn't speak, just stared at the bright color in the wine glass, and his eyebrows were furrowed.
An Jingyuan guessed that eight or nine were not far from ten, sighed, and there was no other way for the time being.
"Even if you and Gu Xinran get the certificate now, I believe your family will still force you to divorce. What's more, you've been the president of Keshi for four years...... It should not cause trouble. β
Ke Shaochen's concerns, An Jingyuan understands.
A new round of president election is imminent, if Ke Shaochen refuses to marry Li Ruohan at this time, the Ke family will definitely not agree. How many people are eyeing the position of president, if someone takes advantage of the chaos, Ke Shaochen's four years of hard work will be in vain.
Don't look at Ke Shaochen covering the sky in City A, but in the environment where the Ke family respects the elderly, he is not a junior who has much ability to resist.
Unless......
Unless he gives up the position of president and is willing to be a nobody, enjoying a lifetime of mediocrity.
"Actually, I've been thinking recently, is the position of President Keshi really that good?" Ke Shaochen picked up the wine glass again and shook it slightly, and under the light, the red wine swayed in the glass, emitting a mellow smell.
"What do you mean......" An Jingyuan never thought that Ke Shaochen would be so obsessed with a woman, so obsessed that he even wanted to give up the position of Ke's president.
Since ancient times, emperors have too many examples of not loving the country and loving beauty. Nowadays, the times have changed, and there are not many men who are so infatuated.
"There's nothing wrong with that, I've made enough money in Keshi in the past few years." Smell the wine and take a sip of the wine. Ke Shaochen was more serious than ever, seriously thinking about their future.
An Jingyuan nodded: "Then what does Gu Xinran think?" β
He smiled, but it was full of bitterness: "I don't know, I don't know what she thinks, and she doesn't know what I think." Ke Shaochen said and emphasized: "She bumped into me and Li Ruohan having dinner yesterday, and when she went back to ask me, I told her." β
"What did you say?"
"I said ......" Ke Shaochen turned his head to look at An Jingyuan: "I said Li Ruohan, who is about to become my girlfriend." β
An Jingyuan immediately exploded when he heard this, this Ke Shaochen's EQ was too low. Although everyone knows that Gu Xinran is by his side, he is just a bed partner of Ke Shaochen, but after all, everyone has feelings. If you are a woman who only wants money, just give her a sum of money. But this Gu Xinran is not for money or profit, and is willing to follow him, mostly for love.
She can deny it to everyone, including her best friend An Xiaoxi, but she can't fool her heart at all.
But this Young Master Ke made a fatal mistake, he personally destroyed Gu Xinran's last illusion, if there is nothing worth remembering, then Gu Xinran will lose all the meaning of staying by his side.
"You don't make it clear that you want to draw a line with Gu Xinran, it's strange if you don't quarrel!"
"Draw the line?" Ke Shaochen was stunned, he never thought of drawing a line with Gu Xinran: "I just want her to know that she will face a tough battle with me, if she wants to fight side by side with me." β
"The result?" An Jingyuan asked rhetorically.
Of course, it was because the peace was unsuccessful, and I was angry, and I learned that Gu Xinran wanted to find a house and move out.
Although the result was not ideal, Ke Shaochen didn't want to lie to her. How long has the rhetoric been coaxing her, could it be that it wasn't until the first day of his marriage to Li Ruohan that he had to confess to Gu Xinran?
This is not Ke Shaochen's style of acting, if Gu Xinran doesn't even have the courage to fight side by side with him, then what has he been insisting on.
Crooked reasoning, An Jingyuan was speechless after listening to Ke Shaochen's statement.
That joy is not a god, how can she have Ke Shaochen's ideological awareness, not to mention that she directly said that she wanted to find a girlfriend without any foreshadowing, which woman could accept it.
"Hey, our prince is good at everything, but he can't get over it. Let's not talk about your marriage with Li Ruohan, in case they just come back to deal with some official business, they will leave tomorrow. An Jingyuan thought for a while and patted his chest: "Don't worry about this, leave it to me to help you settle it." β
"Just you?" Ke Shaochen didn't look down on An Jingyuan, how could the decisions made by their Ke family be easily handled by an outsider: "Unless you go and seduce Li Ruohan and make her change her mind and dissolve the marriage." β
"Li Ruohan, I can't bear it, but I can do ideological work for Gu Xinran."
"That's it." Ke Shaochen stood up, took out his bank card from his wallet and handed it to the waiter: "I'll go back to the company first, and you will notify me after you finish her ideological work." β
"Damn, call me from afar, and I'll go back?"
"Or else?"
"Isn't your entertainment company about to be established, get two young models for me to try."
"Get out!"
