Chapter 3: First Sight
After listening to Zhong Qing's words, Zhong Jingtian did not immediately question Zhong Nian and Chu Shuzhi, but Zhong Qing knew that with his father's temperament, he must have a plan in his heart. Even if he didn't fully believe his words now, he would be jealous of Chu Shuzhi and Zhong Nian.
Zhong Qing knew that his father didn't like people who grabbed power and grabbed positions the most, and perhaps the thing he regretted the most in his life was not giving birth to a son, so he was always worried about his two daughters entering the company to work, and he was jealous.
Now that his father knows that Zhong Nian is eyeing the position of his general manager, maybe he wants his father's position as chairman next, Zhong Qing closed the door of the study and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Her heart was beating wildly, and she had never done it before by framing someone like she had just done. Fine sweat oozed from her forehead, and this feeling of excitement and pleasure was the first time she felt it.
If you don't want to be an ant who is crushed to death casually, you have to be a person who crushes an ant.
Whether it's revenge or protecting herself, since she Zhong Qing knows the true colors of Zhong Nian and Chu Shuzhi, she doesn't want to play ridiculous dramas with them anymore.
"You ruined me first, don't blame me for being ruthless." Zhong Qing muttered.
"Sister."
Zhong Qing walked back to her room and saw Zhong Nian sitting on her bed in her pajamas, she smiled innocently and patted the quilt.
"I want to sleep with you tonight, okay?" Zhong Nian said coquettishly.
If it were Zhong Qing in the past, she would have happily agreed, because in her impression, Zhong Nian was a child who needed to be protected and taken care of, and she was her own sister.
But now looking at Zhong Nian, the more innocent and innocent his face is, the more disgusting Zhong Qing is.
"I'll go take a shower first." didn't drive Zhong Nian away directly, Zhong Qing didn't want to expose himself too quickly. So she took out her pajamas from the cupboard and went into the bathroom, deliberately leaving a small crack in the door.
turned on the shower, but Zhong Qing didn't flush it immediately, she walked to the door and looked at Zhong Nian sitting on the bed through the small slit.
"Brother Gu, it's me."
Clearly hearing Zhong Nian affectionately calling the person on the other end of the phone, Zhong Qing's heart couldn't control the pain.
She loves Gu Zihan so much, she likes him so much, she didn't expect it to be her wishful thinking joke from beginning to end. Gu Zihan not only didn't like him, but also maintained that relationship with Zhong Nian.
At this time, Zhong Nian hugged the pillow and sat on the bed smiling with a happy face.
"I'll be able to meet Brother Gu tomorrow, although ...... It's you and my sister who are going to get engaged, but I just need to be far away and can see Big Brother Gu. ”
"My sister ...... me Still like that, I was pushed away today when I wanted to get close to her. My mother said that my sister didn't like us, but I liked her so much, and I regarded her as my own sister since I was a child. ”
"My sister just misunderstood me, and I'll try my best to make my sister like me!"
“……”
“……”
Turning the cold water to the maximum, the biting water droplets fell on his body, making Zhong Qing sober up a lot.
It's a shame that she has always maintained Zhong Nian in front of outsiders, even if someone bullied her at school because of her illegitimate daughter, she also stood up for her, it turned out that in Zhong Nian's heart, she had always had a "misunderstanding" about her.
Zhong Qing, you are so stupid.
Shivering, Zhong Qing opened her eyes, she looked at the face in the mirror, the wrist that had been cut before, it seemed that she was still aching, this is God warning her that she can't be cowardly anymore.
Twenty minutes later, Zhong Qing came out of the bathroom, Zhong Nian had already hung up the call, and when she saw Zhong Qing coming out, she immediately brought over a glass of hot milk.
"Thank you, sister." Zhong Qing said: "I heard a voice in the house just now, are you calling?" ”
Zhong Nian disguised and said: "En, en, yes, it was a friend calling, so let's chat." ”
"Yes." Zhong Qing nodded meaningfully, the first time Zhong Nian saw Zhong Qing like this, he actually felt strange.
Since Zhong Qing came back earlier, Zhong Nian felt that something was wrong, why did this woman who usually took care of herself stupidly look so mysterious today? Are you too careful? Zhong Nian's face was solemn, and he lay on the bed full of concerns.
The lights were turned off, and Zhong Qing lay on the other side of the bed, her back to Zhong Nian. In the darkness, Zhong Nian suddenly heard her say:
"If I say I want to cancel the engagement, sister, are you willing to marry Gu Zihan instead of me?"
Zhong Nian sat up from the bed suddenly, she opened her mouth, but she felt that no matter how she answered, she couldn't answer correctly. Zhong Qing had already closed her eyes and fell asleep, leaving Zhong Nian sitting on the bed alone, her back covered with cold sweat.
At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, in the largest hotel in City A, the Inge Hotel, Xu Jie set aside the top private rooms for the Gu family and the Zhong family.
"Lao Xu, I'm sorry for you." Gu Guosheng patted his old friend on the shoulder and said, "Lao Zhong and I borrowed your place today for the sake of the children's marriage. Don't worry, I won't give you any less money. ”
Xu Jie smiled: "We have been in a relationship for decades, what are you doing with money?" Besides, Zihan and Xiaoqing are also the ones I have seen since I was a child, let alone a meal, even if it is the wedding banquet in the future, I will also cover it all! ”
"Haha! I've written it down, and I can't go back when the time comes! Zhong Jingtian happened to come over, heard Xu Jie and Gu Guosheng's conversation, and laughed a few times.
The waiter who just came next to him looked confused: "Who are these two?" Why is the relationship with the chairman so good? ”
"You're blind! These are the two patriarchs of the four major families, the Gu family on the left is the Zhong family on the right, and the Xu family and the Zhou family where the chairman is located, all of which no one dares to mess with in City A. Another waiter reminded the newcomer: "Be careful in a moment, don't go wrong, you know?" Any person who comes for a while can put your life at risk! ”
It just so happened that Zhong Qing came out of the elevator at this time and happened to hear the conversation between the two waiters. She couldn't help but feel a little helpless, what age is this, what is the title of the four major families like in the eyes of outsiders?
"Where is the bathroom?"
"This, this way!"
"Thank you."
Zhong Qing glanced at his father who was greeting Uncle Gu and Uncle Xu from a distance, and Chu Shuzhi, who wanted to please Wei Mengjun on the side, which was originally an ordinary picture, but now it looks a little dazzling.
"Ahh
Someone suddenly hit her shoulder, Zhong Qing turned her head, and saw a man in a black suit, with a wide open collar, hugging a scantily clad woman, looking at himself unhappily.
"Miss, you have to look at the road when you walk." Gu Xiu glanced at Zhong Qing's skirt that was just over the knee, and smiled: "Otherwise, if you fall and walk away, it will not be good." ”
"You!" It was the first time that Zhong Qing was used so lightly that her face turned red with anger, but before she could say anything, Gu Xiu hugged the woman and left with a smile.
Zhong Qing could only pull her skirt down hatefully, then calmed down and walked back to the box.
Before pushing open the door, Zhong Qing took a few deep breaths, she still remembered what would happen next, she remembered every word that the people inside said, and it was because of this that she was nervous.
The moment she pushed the door open, Zhong Qing raised a standard gentle smile.
"Uncle Gu, Aunt Wei, long time no see."
"Oh, Xiaoqing, we were still looking for you just now." Wei Mengjun enthusiastically got up and took Zhong Qing's hand and pulled her to the seat he had specially set aside.
"Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Gu Ziyu said with a hippie smile, Zhong Qing turned her head to look at her when she heard this, and nodded hello to Gu Zimo next to Gu Ziyu.
From beginning to end, Zhong Qing's eyes did not fall on Gu Zihan's body, as if he was deliberately evading. Zhong Qing knew that she didn't have the courage to look at him now, that face was poison to her, and as soon as she saw Gu Zihan, Zhong Qing would think of the figure who jumped into the pond desperately to save Zhong Nian.
"You kid, don't be unruly today!" Wei Mengjun reprimanded in a low voice: "Quickly give up your position to Zihan, today we are going to discuss the marriage of Zihan and Xiaoqing......"
When Gu Zihan heard the word "marriage", he calmly picked up the teacup, and under the cover of drinking tea, he looked at Zhong Nian opposite. Zhong Nian lowered his head, as if he was in a very low mood.
Although in Gu Zihan's heart, the only person he loves is Zhong Nian, but for the sake of the family, he can only get engaged to Zhong Qing at the behest of his father.
After all, in their eyes, Zhong Nian's identity is a little special, she is the daughter of Zhong Jingtian and Chu Shuzhi when she was young, although after Zhong Qing's mother died, Zhong Jingtian took Chu Shuzhi and Zhong Nian home, but in their opinion, there is a big difference between the illegitimate daughter Zhong Nian and the real eldest lady Zhong Qing.
Gu Zihan was ready to get up and change positions with Gu Ziyu.
"No need, just let Ziyu sit next to me." Zhong Qing took Gu Ziyu's hand, and the latter felt that Zhong Qing's palm was cold.
Not only Gu Zihan, everyone present was slightly stunned - Zhong Qing's liking for Gu Zihan was seen by everyone, why did he show some rejection today?
"Xiaoqing, are you okay?" Gu Ziyu was originally sitting here on purpose because of a joke, but she looked at Zhong Qing a little wrong now: "Or I'll change ...... with my eldest brother"
"It's fine." Zhong Qing took Gu Ziyu's hand and didn't let go, so strong that his nails sank into Gu Ziyu's palm, although the latter's expression did not change, his eyes were tentative.
"Just sit down like that, it's good."
"Everyone is here, right?" Wei Mengjun immediately changed the topic and said, "Then let's start first......
Gu Guosheng said, "Gu Xiu hasn't come yet." ”
Hearing the name "Gu Xiu", the faces of the Gu family changed. For Gu Xiu, Zhong Qing had also heard a little about this person before, and heard that it was Gu Guosheng's illegitimate son outside, and he never picked it up, but recently that person took the initiative to come back to recognize his relatives.
Wei Mengjun's face was displeased, and he could only say in front of the two families: "Zihan's marriage, it doesn't matter if he comes or not." I've already told him the time, and I haven't shown up yet, so who knows where he's gone again......"
"Yo, it turns out that everyone has arrived!"
The door of the box was pushed open again, and as soon as Zhong Qing raised his eyes, he saw the man in a black suit he had just met, but compared to just now, he was now holding two dusty women on his left and right.
Is he Gu Xiu? Zhong Qing suddenly thought that in his memory, the two families did not appear in this meeting without Gu Xiu, could it be because of his rebirth that things went wrong?
