Gu Xiu will never forget the first time he saw Zhong Qing, not in the VIP box of the Inger Hotel, but at the first party he attended after returning to the Gu family for his mother's treatment.

At that time, his identity was just Gu Guosheng's illegitimate son who had not seen the light of day for more than 20 years, I don't know if it was Wei Mengjun and Gu Zihan, and even many people who came to the banquet looked down on him.

He was dressed in a modest suit and stood in the corner of the banquet hall like a transparent person. He looked at the lively and relaxed environment from a distance, and felt out of place.

He saw that the children of the four major families got together and became the most shining existence in the crowd, each of them was born with a golden key, and they were the characters who could call the wind and rain in the future of City A, they were different from themselves, they were destined to get everything they wanted from the moment they were born.

I don't know how many glasses of wine he drank, Gu Xiu felt that his whole body was hot, and the invisible restraints bound him, making him almost unable to breathe, he walked out of the banquet hall with his wine glass, and unconsciously walked to the empty terrace.

The wind at night was a little bleak, blowing from his cheeks but not feeling cold, Gu Xiu took a sip of wine, leaned on the terrace and looked at the scenery of half of City A.

A deep sense of loneliness and uneasiness invaded his nerves, and he even panicked a little at the thought of what he was about to face.

"Ah, the secret base has been discovered."

A woman's voice suddenly sounded from behind him, Gu Xiu turned his head to look, and saw a cute girl with a long skirt walking over with a smile.

"Very few people find it here, how did you find it?" The girl walked to Gu Xiu's side and stretched out her hand with a smile: "Hello, my name is Zhong Qing." ”

It turned out to be Zhong Jingtian's daughter, Gu Xiu raised his eyebrows, reached out to hold it with her, and found that this girl's palm was very warm the moment his ten fingers touched.

"When I come here to attend a banquet, I will always stay here alone to relax for a while, but I didn't expect to come here tonight and be discovered by you about my secret base."

Zhong Qing's smile was impeccable, she looked at Gu Xiu and said, "The scenery here is very good, right?" ”

Gu Xiu stood in the banquet hall for several hours, and the guests who came and went took care of Wei Mengjun and Gu Zihan's face, and did not say hello to him, but this eldest lady of the Zhong family was so special.

"I saw you standing next to you all the time, not speaking, aren't you not used to such an occasion?"

Gu Xiu's slightly frowning brows relaxed, this girl ...... Is she caring about herself?

Thinking of this, Gu Xiu couldn't help but turn his head to look at her.

"Actually, I don't really like the occasion of so many people, but I can't help it, this is the arrangement in the family, I can only follow their wishes."

"Your name is ...... Gu Xiu, right? I've heard your name. ”

Gu Xiu smiled self-deprecatingly: "And my identity, right?" ”

Zhong Qing looked at Gu Xiu, who had drunk all the wine, and noticed that he was not in a good mood, and wanted to say something comforting, but he felt that his situation was not convincing.

"That's the choice of the older generation, whether it's right or wrong, you can't punish yourself with their decisions." Zhong Qing said: "Actually, we can also give it to our good friends calmly, can't we?" ”

Hearing Zhong Qing's innocent and ridiculous words, Gu Xiu didn't feel sarcastic, but felt warm in his heart. From the time he decided to come to Gu Guosheng in desperation, he had prepared for the worst, but the reality attacked him again and again, Wei Mengjun and Gu Zihan's methods almost made him unable to live in just half a month.

"Everyone gets along very well, and sometimes a lot of people get together and don't get bored."

"Really?" Gu Xiu smiled bitterly: "Maybe I'm destined to not be able to integrate into your circle." ”

The people around him were silent, and just when Gu Xiu thought that Zhong Qing had left, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder, he subconsciously turned his head, and suddenly saw Zhong Qing standing in front of him.

"Whoa." Zhong Qing took the food from nowhere and handed it to Gu Xiu: "With this plate, we are friends, okay?" ”

Maybe it was Zhong Qing's smile that made Gu Xiu unable to refuse, and he took the food that Zhong Qing handed him in a trance.

Seeing Gu Xiu's stunned appearance, Zhong Qing smiled even more happily.

"Since we are friends, there is no circle, and we will have fun playing together in the future!"

Gu Xiu opened his mouth, and just wanted to say something, but Gu Zihan's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Zhong Qing, where are you?"

Hearing someone calling herself, Zhong Qing first made a "shhh ”

Gu Xiu held the plate and nodded. In the next second, Gu Zihan opened the curtain and saw Zhong Qing and Gu Xiu together, he walked over with a displeased face.

Gu Zihan first glared at Gu Xiu, and then said to Zhong Qing, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Just take a walk." Zhong Qing smiled and pulled Gu Zihan's arm: "Now that you have found it, let's go in quickly!" ”

Gu Zihan let Zhong Qing go in first, then walked in front of Gu Xiu, looked at the food in his hand, sneered, and mocked:

"The things here are different from the garbage you ate before, don't think about sneaking the food back, the people of the Gu family will never do such a shameful thing."

"You've never eaten caviar in your life, but I don't think you're going to eat anything so good, right?"

Gu Xiu lowered his head, only to feel that the plate in his hand suddenly became heavier, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

"Don't fight Xiaoqing's idea!" Gu Zihan warned: "You are not worthy! ”

When Gu Xiu heard this, he smiled: "Heh, Gu Zihan, do you really think that what you get now will always be yours?" You're just relying on her liking you. ”

Being sarcastically ridiculed by this illegitimate son, Gu Zihan's face changed, and he knocked over the dinner plate in Gu Xiu's hand with a wave of his big hand.

"Remember your identity, Gu Xiu, you made me anxious, you won't get a penny!"

After speaking, Gu Zihan left the terrace without looking back, Gu Xiu saw Gu Zihan and Zhong Qing's intimacy from the reflection reflected in the gauze curtain, and he knew that he was not worthy.

He looked down at the food scattered on the ground, just like Gu Zihan said, he couldn't tell what kind of precious ingredients it was, he only knew that it was handed to him by Zhong Qing, and she said that they were friends.

Gu Xiu lowered his head, silently picked up the food on the ground and put it back on the plate, he took a deep breath and stood on the edge of the terrace, after a long time, he was reluctant to leave.

After that, Gu Xiu didn't have a chance to see Zhong Qing again, even if he couldn't forget that smile, he knew Zhong Qing and Gu Zihan's concern, and he didn't dare to approach her.

A few years later, he was called by Gu Guosheng to attend the banquet, and he was already the owner of the Tianqi bar at that time, and he walked into the hotel with a woman in his arms, but suddenly saw that familiar figure.

Unconsciously quickened her pace and tried to call her, but found that she didn't recognize herself at all.

"Miss, you have to look at the road when you walk."

"Otherwise, if you fall and walk away, it's not good."

Seeing Zhong Qing's angry and shy appearance, Gu Xiu's heart couldn't tell what it was. He pushed away his female companion and walked into the box alone, saw that Gu Zihan was also there, and realized that this might be to announce Zhong Qing and Gu Zihan's engagement banquet.

It was the first time Zhong Qing thought she had met Gu Xiu, but she didn't think that her sincerity and kindness had already knocked on Gu Xiu's heart a few years ago.

There is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason, Gu Xiu was indulgent to Zhong Qing from the beginning, so he felt distressed when he saw her drunk, he didn't get angry at all when he saw her spit in her favorite vase, and he felt acceptable when he saw her occupying his bed.

No matter what Zhong Qing did, it was acceptable in Gu Xiu's opinion. Who let that destined figure occupy his Gu Xiu's heart many years ago?

Time comes back to the present.

Zhong Qing was asleep in Gu Xiu's arms, Gu Zimo examined her, and to everyone's relief, she was only in a short coma, and neither her body nor the child in her belly were affected.

"Second master, your shoulders need to be rebandaged." Wei Lan said, "Let's put Miss Zhong on the bed to rest first." ”

Gu Xiu shook his head, he maintained the posture of holding Zhong Qing, even if the wound on his shoulder was torn, he didn't let go again.

The investigators of Country M and the local police searched the entire clubhouse, found guns and bullets from Wei Qiushan's room, and found Wei Qiushan's real ledger from the safe.

"If you want to arrest Wei Qiushan, you don't need Zhong Qing's help at all." Gu Xiu said coldly: "Whether it's Zhong Qing, Y-ing Group, or me, it's all an excuse for you to want to distract Wei Qiushan, you put a pregnant woman in a trap just to take advantage of Wei Qiushan's unpreparedness and arrest him with the least loss, right?" ”

Gu Xiu said a few words, and said the true purpose of the Investigation Department of Country M, and the person in charge lowered his head with a red face.

"She is the woman I love, and I said that I would not allow anyone to hurt her again."

Gu Xiu's eyes swept over everyone present, even if Zhong Qing nodded and agreed to this matter, it couldn't offset Gu Xiu's monstrous hatred.

"Mr. Gu, I'm sorry, this operation has caused harm to you and Miss Zhong, and we will definitely do our best to make up for your losses."

Gu Xiuheng hugged Zhong Qing, even though his shoulders were already stained red with blood, the people next to him looked shocked and shocked him, but he didn't have the slightest effect.

"Gu Xiu." Gu Zimo stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this, the environment here is not good, send Zhong Qing back to the hospital first." ”

Gu Xiu hugged Zhong Qing and turned around to leave the clubhouse, Wei Lan and Gu Zimo glanced at each other and followed.

The others in the Investigation Section were puzzled: "Boss, why are you so polite to that Gu Xiu?" ”

The person in charge threw the information to them, and said, "Because only I know what a terrible man he is." ”
