Chapter 41: Occupy the Gu Clan
Ke Shaochen did not go to City C as he said before, and after Mu Rao sent Gu Xinran back to the villa, he came to the five-star hotel opened by his family with Ke Shaochen.
In the luxurious presidential suite, Ke Shaochen sat on the sofa and drank a freshly opened bottle of red wine.
"Chen Shao, when my subordinates were helping you get your clothes, they had already installed a bugging device in your and Miss Gu's bedroom. The driver has already instructed that as long as Miss Gu goes out, he will report to you at any time. Bodyguards are also arranged outside the villa, and if Miss Gu goes out and doesn't call a driver, the bodyguards will secretly follow and protect her. Mu Rao remembered something after reporting to Ke Shaochen, and continued: "In addition, the hotel has also instructed that it will not be revealed to the public that you live here." ”
Ke Shaochen nodded, and did not speak with a gloomy face. Taking a sip of red wine and putting his goblet aside, he got up and walked to the window, a gloomy atmosphere hanging over him. Against the backdrop of night, the slender body seemed particularly lonely at this time.
Mu Rao thought about it for a long time, and wanted to speak, but he was afraid that Ke Shaochen would blame him.
The time spent with Gu Xinran was not short, and Mu Rao didn't think she would have bad intentions.
"My subordinates feel that with Miss Gu's character, she shouldn't betray you."
Of course, Ke Shaochen didn't want Gu Xinran to have two thoughts about him, but when he heard that Xin Qiyang appeared again and they met alone in the café, his unique confidence was not so certain.
"You're not her, how do you know what's going on in her heart."
"But ......"
"I only believe in what I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears." Ke Shaochen didn't turn around, still looking at the night lit up by neon lights, and couldn't take his eyes off for a long time: "You go out first, there's nothing to do tonight, rest early." ”
"Yes, Chen Shao. You also rest early. ”
How could he possibly sleep.
The person standing on the top of the mountain, how much helplessness and hesitation overwhelmed him. Ancient emperors were suspicious, just because of how many people around them could be trusted, and often those who betrayed them were the closest people.
……
Gu Xinran returned to the room after dinner, planning to take a shower and sleep after watching TV. Before I could find the program I wanted to watch, a message came from my phone.
"Happily, I got a new job, doing sales in a real estate company, and I sold a house on my first day of work today, and the manager said that I would get a lot of commissions. Tomorrow I will treat you to dinner, and it will be a celebration for me. ”
The person who sent it was Xin Qiyang, Gu Xinran held the mobile phone, and didn't know how to reply.
"Xinran, can I call you? I want to hear from you. ”
"I miss you so much, or call me when it's convenient for you, I'll wait for you."
The phone rang again, it was Xin Qiyang calling, Gu Xinran hesitated for a few seconds, but still answered the phone.
"Xinran, I thought you wouldn't take it." On the other end of the phone, Xin Qiyang's voice was particularly surprised and happy: "Are you convenient to answer the phone now?" ”
"Convenient."
"I've booked a table at your favorite western restaurant tomorrow, I remember that you like to eat steaks at that restaurant, let's go eat together tomorrow, shall we?"
"First of all, congratulations on finding a job, Qiyang, in fact, you don't have to invite me to dinner."
"I just want to celebrate with you, so it's decided, I'll wait for you in the restaurant at six o'clock tomorrow night."
"Okay."
Gu Xinran just hung up the phone, followed by a message.
It's just Ke Shaochen who sent it.
"What are you doing?" It was supposed to be a toneless inquiry, and Gu Xinran immediately replied.
"Just had dinner and watched TV in my room." After she finished speaking, she sent another message: "Have you arrived in City C?" ”
"It's time to the hotel."
"It's too tiring to make a difference, so rest more when you have time."
"Okay, wait for me to come back, you know?"
Obediently wait for him to come back......
Gu Xinran sighed, turned off the TV and lay on the bed.
She also wanted him to come back soon, so that his disturbed heart could calm down because of him, and he wouldn't think about all that mess anymore.
The next day, Gu Xinran asked the driver to send her to the neighborhood at the agreed time and place.
She is still a little vigilant, after all, the driver is Ke Shaochen's person, she doesn't want Ke Shaochen to know that she and Xin Qiyang have met, and naturally she won't let the driver see who she has seen.
Pushing open the door of the restaurant, there were still as many customers inside as she had been when Xin Qiyang came, his steak was cheap and delicious, and if he didn't book a table in advance, he was afraid that he would have to wait outside for a long time to eat.
Xin Qiyang came earlier than Gu Xinran, he was already waiting for her in the seat, and when he saw her come in, he smiled and waved his hand, stood up and helped her pull out a chair for her to sit down.
"Still the same as before?" Xin Qiyang smiled, sat down and asked Gu Xinran: "Do you want to try his family's new steak set?" ”
Gu Xinran nodded and looked around, the decoration here had not changed at all.
It may be the state of mind of the person who came, and I can't find the feeling of happiness at that time.
He called the waiter and ordered two steak sets, then looked around and said he hadn't been here for a long time. Since they broke up, he hasn't been to this western restaurant.
"Congratulations again on finding a new job and achieving success so quickly." Gu Xinran raised his glass and clinked glasses with him, took a sip and put it aside, and wiped his mouth with a napkin.
"So happy, why don't we have a drink?"
"No need, Ke Shaochen won't let me drink."
A simple sentence showed the relationship between them, Xin Qiyang's expression darkened a little after hearing it, but he immediately forced a smile again. Sure enough, the rumors are not wrong at all, she is indeed with Ke Shaochen.
Especially when she saw her table manners from coming in to the present, Xin Qiyang thought to himself that she was no longer the simple Gu Xinran who had no heart back then.
But he didn't give up so quickly, since Gu Xinran was willing to go out to eat with him, it showed that everything was still possible.
"Xinran, are you happy with Ke Shaochen after being together? I also asked a little bit about him before, and he never admitted that he had a girlfriend. ”
"It's fine." Gu Xinran nodded: "But you're right, I'm really not his girlfriend now, I'm just following him without a name or a point." ”
"In that case, why don't you leave him?" He spoke with some agitation, a little louder. But soon he realized his recklessness, lowered his voice and continued: "Xinran, I now have my own job, and I believe that it will not be long before I can make a lot of money, enough to cure my mother's illness, and also make you live a good life." ”
"We've broken up, and I've long been Ke Shaochen's woman."
"I don't care, I just want you to come back to me."
The steak was served to the table by the waiter, Xin Qiyang brought Gu Xinran's plate to him, carefully cut the steak into small pieces with a knife and fork, and then placed the plate in front of her.
He used to be like this, taking care of Gu Xinran gently and considerately everywhere, and he couldn't wait to give her the best things. But when Gu Xinran knew the day before the engagement that he was doing this for that inheritance, she had already made up her mind that she would never easily believe in the good of others to her in the future.
In addition to An Xiaoxi, a friend, because An Xiaoxi has never gotten any benefits from her, on the contrary, he has always protected himself everywhere and protected her from harm as much as possible.
"I still remember your favorite freshly squeezed juice from this house, you taste it, is it the same as what you used to drink."
Take a sip of juice and take a bite of steak. Gu Xinran didn't have much appetite, she had already hugged it,
"Qiyang, I think if there is nothing special in the future, we should not meet."
"Why?" Xin Qiyang's face changed, and he couldn't believe Gu Xinran's words. He had obviously done this, even if it was for the sake of the previous friendship, she could not have decided not to be with him so quickly. "Is it because I didn't do well enough, or do you really have no feelings for me."
"We've all changed, let's forget all about the past. If you have a chance to meet in the future, you can let go of your heart and smile and say hello to each other. ”
"I'm not going to give up." Xin Qiyang seemed to understand something after speaking: "Did Ke Shaochen threaten you, did he use the Gu clan to threaten you that you can't leave him?" At the beginning, our Xin family was threatened by his power and status, so we ended up where we are now. Happily, Ke Shaochen helped you buy the Gu family but didn't give it to you, obviously to tie you up and occupy the Gu family by the way. ”
When the words came to the sore spot, Gu Xinran also frowned.
The Gu family has indeed been managed by Ke Shaochen, and it is also because she is not yet capable of taking over the position of president, so she wants to learn how to be the president from him. Now that she has been studying for a long time, Ke Shaochen still has no intention of handing over the Gu family to her, which is indeed worth doubting.
However, Ke Shaochen owns the entire Keshi Group, and Keshi almost monopolizes all the asset chains in City A, and Gu's is just a small company, and there is really no reason to occupy it.
But what about the Gu family, only she can understand the situation when she goes, it is getting late now, and it is not too late to wait until tomorrow to take a look.
"Qiyang, my words have been made very clear, so be it." Gu Xinran was about to stand up after speaking, Xin Qiyang took a step faster than her and took her hand again.
"Give me one more chance." He made a very earnest expression and looked at Gu Xinran: "Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, I will wait for you in the small park where we have our first date, whether you come or not, I will wait until you come." ”
Back at the villa, Gu Xinran was very confused and couldn't tell Uncle Zhang's servants, so she could only hide in the room and send a message to An Xiaoxi.
She told An Xiaoxi about meeting Xin Qiyang in the past two days, hoping to hear her opinion, but she just sent a few messages, but she didn't wait for a reply, but waited for An Xiaoxi's call.
It can be imagined that An Xiaoxi's excited tone scolded Gu Xinran first without asking.
"Are you sick in the brain, what do you care about that kind of scumbag? Take 10,000 steps back to say that even if he is a good young man, young and handsome, but don't forget, you are Ke Shaochen's woman now, do you think about being known by him, how miserable you will be? ”
"Of course I knew, so when I met him today, I didn't dare to ask the driver to take me to my destination, but walked two blocks to meet him. And I also told him that I won't meet him in the future if there is nothing special. Gu Xinran sat on the sofa and took a sip of the juice that Uncle Zhang had just delivered, she suddenly remembered something, and looked at the juice in a daze.
It's not that she's too sensitive, it's that she always feels that something is wrong.
