Chapter 25: Trust Me
"You're not doing anything wrong, it's someone behind you. I've already asked Zhong Zong to take care of it, and it will be fine soon. Zhong Shengyun held back the pain in his heart, tried hard to pull out a smile, walked to Zhong's side, and hugged her tightly.
"Why are so many people scolding me all of a sudden? And how do they know about me? Let my father hold him, full of grievances, but I don't know how to say it.
She could only keep her dry eyes open, letting the tears blur the world in front of her and slide down her cheeks onto Zhong Shengyun's shoulders.
She saw all those contents, personally attacked her, scolded the Zhong family, she saw them all.
"Dad, am I bothering you again?" Only when he thought of this, the grievances in Zhongqing's heart seemed to have found an outlet, and he hugged Zhong Shengyun tightly.
"I'm sorry, Dad, I'm bothering you again."
She had never felt so useless in hurting them over and over again.
"Silly girl, no. It's not your fault, someone deliberately did it, they just want you to mess up. Well, you have never troubled me and your brother, you are our pride! β
Zhong Qing leaned on his shoulders, and Zhong Shengyun felt the wetness of his shoulders through his suit shirt.
For the first time, the always elegant face appeared ruthless, and he must find the mastermind behind the scenes!
I don't know how long I cried, I fell asleep with Zhong Shengyun in my arms, and I was still sobbing in my dream, holding Zhong Shengyun and refusing to let go.
"Dad, I've contacted them, someone has already looked for them in advance, it should be the Gu family." Zhong Zong hurriedly ran back, the suit vest behind him soaking wet.
"Find out who did it, and you must find out who is behind the scenes." It wasn't until Xiaoqing fell asleep that Zhong Shengyun withdrew his hand and took Zhong Zong to the living room.
He didn't care about what the Gu family thought, and he didn't want to care, and even now, he no longer trusted Gu Yanze.
If the Gu family really attaches importance to petty feelings, they will definitely not let this kind of thing happen. Now it seems that Xiao Zong's worries are not wrong.
"Uncle, can I see Xiaoqing?" Outside the door, Gu Yanze's voice came in through the machine.
"What did he come to do! If it weren't for him, would Xiaoqing be like this? Zhong Zong didn't think about it, he hung up the phone and looked at the people outside angrily.
Gu Yanze also saw Zhong Zong, and across the courtyard, he could also feel Zhong Zong's anger.
It was he who forgot Ning Bao'er, he underestimated the viciousness of women, and forgot that he had not yet become the real backer of Zhongqing.
"Let him in." Zhong Shengyun calmly commanded, and his expression returned to normal, as if the fierce anxiety just now did not appear on his face.
"Dad, Xiaoqing is like this, why do you want him to come in?" Zhong was puzzled and unwilling to let people in.
Zhong Shengyun also glanced at him with warning: "Put away your careful thoughts, now is not the time to worry about this." β
Let him come in to meet Xiaoqing, and then show him his attitude later, the Zhong family and the Gu family will no longer have any relationship.
Although Zhong Zong was reluctant, he still let people in, and his burning gaze couldn't wait to burn two holes in him!
"Uncle, I'm sorry. I found the media as soon as possible, but the news had already spread, and I didn't protect my little feelings, which disappointed my uncle and brother. β
Gu Yanze bowed his head guiltily, ready to be scolded by Zhong Shengyun, and even ready to be beaten by Zhong Zong, but nothing happened after waiting for a long time.
"Aren't you going to see Xiaoqing? She's just gone to sleep, go see her. Zhong Shengyun's expression was calm, but it made Gu Yanze have a bad premonition.
"Dad, Xiaoqing is asleep, what else do you want him to go?" In contrast, Zhong Zong's reaction was quite normal.
was glanced at by Zhong Zong, Gu Yanze suffered obediently, and his heart was tormented, he just wanted to see Zhong Qing quickly and see how she was.
"Let him go." After Zhong Shengyun finished speaking, he got up and went to the study, Zhong Zong could only take Gu Yanze upstairs and let him be alone with Xiaoqing.
The afternoon sun fell on Xiaoqing's half of the bed, separated by a ray of light, it was the love of crying swollen eyes, I don't know if it was a nightmare, and the moist eyelashes trembled slightly, like a butterfly with folded wings.
"Don't scold me! Father! No! β
Zhong Qing woke up from a heavy dream, sat up with a scream, covered in sweat, a trace of hair stuck to his face, and his panicked eyes came out of the confusion and closed tightly.
"Petty."
Gu Yanze stood at the door until she screamed, then strode over, stopped not far in front of the bed, looked at him lovingly, and didn't move his footsteps anymore.
In the eyes that looked at him lovingly, there was confusion, loss, and defense, but there was no hope for the gentleness and agility.
"Gu Shao," Zhong Qing wanted to say something more, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything, just closed his eyes and sneered.
"I'm sorry, I found that I was really fragile and couldn't stand being wronged, and I didn't want to see my father and brother wronged."
"Please, Gu Yanze, let's let each other go."
After saying this sentence with all his strength, he slowly lay down, dragging the quilt and covering the world in front of him.
Halfway through the quilt, her hands were held by a pair of strong hands, and the bed had an extra weight.
Since he can't cover the quilt, he can only choose to close his eyes - as long as he doesn't look at Gu Yanze, he can do anything.
"Xiaoqing, do you believe me? I didn't expect Ning Bao'er to ......" Gu Yanze, who had always been decisive, suddenly became hesitant, and he didn't even know how to explain.
"There will be more and more things that I didn't expect in the future, Gu Shao is also a human being, of course there are unexpected places. I won't blame you. Zhong Qing closed his eyes, and his voice was so light that he couldn't speak.
"Did I overestimate the Zhong family, but also overestimated myself? Gu Shao, if you want to be a deserter, is it okay? β
She just wants her family to live in peace and stability, and she has never thought about anything else, why is it so difficult?
"No, you can't! Xiaoqing, you believe me, I won't let anyone hurt you again! Gu Yanze made a promise in a low voice, but in front of love, this promise was surprisingly ridiculous.
How could she believe it? When reporting on the relationship between the two, she didn't know anything, and her father and brother avoided reporters all day long in order to protect her.
Now that she has been exposed to information again, she has been attacked by others, and she has brought the Zhong family to scold her, and her father and brother have been affected by her again.
If it was just her business, of course she would bear it with Gu Yanze. But she has weaknesses and people she cares about, and she can't hurt her father and brother again and again.
"I'm tired, you can go." Zhongai turned her head to face the sun, the light stung her eyes, and she still refused to open them.
"Gu Shao, my father wants to see you."
Gu Yanze was about to say something, but was interrupted by Zhong Zong's knock on the door outside the door.
Hearing that Zhong Shengyun wanted to see him, Gu Yanze could only let go of Zhong Qing's hand, lowered his head and printed a kiss, his voice hoarse: "Xiao Qing, I won't let go, and I won't let you get hurt again!" β
After speaking, he stared at Zhong's face, and only got up and left the room for a long time, and followed Zhong Zong to Zhong Shengyun's study.
After sending him in, Zhong Zong didn't stay, only Gu Yanze and Zhong Shengyun were left.
"Gu Shao, sit down." Zhong Shengyun was gentle and polite, stretched out his hand and pointed to the chair in front of the desk, and there was no joy or anger on his face.
"Uncle, I'm sorry to let you be attacked like this." Gu Yanze bent down to apologize, and then sat down.
Zhong Shengyun hooked the corners of his lips with a smile, and there was a little more meaningless smile on his elegant face.
"You don't have to apologize, I've been ready for this since the day you and Xiaoqing were together."
"It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Xiaoqing is willing, I will not hesitate to lose the entire Zhong family. Zhong Zong and I just hope that Xiaoqing can live happily. β
Zhong Shengyun's heartfelt words made Gu Yanze even more embarrassed, he didn't know that in Zhong Shengyun's eyes, the Gu family was like a flood beast.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you." Now apart from apologizing, in the face of Zhong Shengyun, he doesn't know what to say.
Zhong Shengyun's love for Xiaoqing is so deep, he must be very disappointed in him this time.
He must find the person behind the hurt love!
Zhong Shengyun chuckled and shook his head: "I said it all, you don't have to apologize, it's not your fault." There is an insurmountable gap between the Zhong family and the Gu family. I always thought that as long as you were happy, none of this mattered. β
At the mention of this, Gu Yanze's heart suddenly tightened.
"It's not that Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu talked to Xiaoqing, it's not that I don't know, it's just that Xiaoqing didn't speak, I, as a father, don't want to interfere too much."
"Gu Shao, you didn't discuss with Xiaoqing, and you publicly said that she was your fiancΓ©e, and I should be the fault of the necklace. That turmoil was nothing to me. β
"But this sudden storm of public opinion made me have to re-examine whether Xiaoqing can be happy with you. She is simple, she doesn't understand the twists and turns, but I do. β
Zhong Shengyun took a deep breath, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Among the reporters who blocked the door at the beginning, there should be Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu's handwriting, right?" β
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Gu Yanze's body froze visibly, he didn't expect Zhong Shengyun to find out about it, he didn't even tell his grandfather.
"It's about them, I've talked to them about it, I've warned them."
The word warning is full of meaning, but to Zhong Shengyun's ears, it is meaningless.
"How big the role of the warning is, Gu Shao should be very clear. I didn't tell Xiaoqing, and I won't tell her in the future, so that you will have a good image in front of her. β
"Uncle......" Listening to his words, it was not difficult for Gu Yanze to guess what Zhong Shengyun meant, and he got up in a hurry, wanting to refute Zhong Shengyun.
However, in the next second, Zhong Shengyun raised his hand to signal him to sit down, and Gu Yanze could only sit down quietly, waiting for Zhong Shengyun to say the decision that made him painful.
"I think Gu Shao has already guessed what I'm going to say, so let's get straight to the point." Zhong Shengyun finally showed an expression worthy of a smile.
"Gu Yanze, in the future, please don't get close to the Zhong family, let alone Xiaoqing, I hope that the Gu family and the Zhong family will be completely broken!"
