"Smack!"

A loud slap slapped Zhong Qing's face, Zhong Jingtian withdrew his hand, and looked at the "unfilial girl" in front of him with a red face. In Zhong Qing's apartment, there were only two of them, father and daughter, and Zhong Jingtian could finally vent the fire in his belly.

"Look what you've done? Stayed at Gu Xiu's house for one night! I don't care if you take care of the sick or someone frames you, if it weren't for the fact that you were too close to Gu Xiu, how could you let others have a chance to take advantage of it! Zhong Jingtian said: "How many times have I told you, stay away from Gu Xiu, he is not a person with you and us!" ”

"What if he is now the vice president of the Gu Group? Wasn't it all arranged for him by Gu Guosheng? He is still a gangster in his bones, Tianqi Bar was the largest underworld gathering place in City A back then, you should know this kind of thing if I don't say it, even if Tianqi Bar plans to close now, how can you guarantee that he is completely out of touch with the underworld? ”

Zhong Qing walked to the kitchen without saying a word, wrapped a large piece of ice in a towel, and then put ice on his cheek.

"You scolded and scolded, and you beat and beaten, so go back first if you have nothing to do." Zhong Qing was discouraged, she knew that no matter how she explained it to her father, he would not believe it, and instead of wasting time and wasting words, it was better to use the simplest way to calm the situation.

"I have to go to work in a while, so I won't accompany you."

"You stop! Is this the way you talk to your father? Zhong Jingtian glared: "Just your small studio, there are not many employees in total, right?" I don't care how much money you threw into it in the early stage, anyway, you turn it off for me quickly and go back to work! ”

"I can't promise you this." Zhong Qing said: "I do what I like, I don't want to give up, not to mention that if I go back to the company at this time, Chu Shuzhi and Zhong Nian will definitely not agree." If you don't want to see the farce of the Gu Group play out at the Zhong family, don't say anything about letting me go back. ”

Why doesn't Zhong Jingtian know what the relationship between his two women is now? Too many things have happened during this time, which has made him a lot older all at once. Whether it was the accidents that Zhong Nian had when he got married before, or whether Zhong Nian had been squeezing out Zhong Qing all these years, he, as a father, really didn't know how to intervene, and it was not right to help anyone.

"You two grew up together, how did you become the way you are today?" Zhong Jingtian sighed: "Alas, in the final analysis, it's because I, as a father, are not responsible." ”

When Zhong Jingtian was at this age, he understood what family happiness was, thinking that he was high-spirited, married Zhong Qing's mother at home, and maintained a relationship with Zhong Nian's mother outside, and later Zhong Qing's mother died of illness, he didn't think much about taking Chu Shuzhi home directly, originally thought that Chu Shuzhi and Zhong Qing could get along well, but I didn't expect that after all these years, the two of them have always had a pimple in their hearts.

Zhong Qing looked at her father who blamed herself, and didn't say a word of comfort to him, if she hadn't discovered the true colors of Zhong Nian and Chu Shuzhi, she would have stupidly accompanied them to play the trick, but now that Zhong Qing has seen through their fake faces, how can she continue to get along as if nothing had happened?

"Dad, even if I don't work in the company, I'm your daughter." Zhong Qing said: "I know that you let me go back for my own good, although I am very tired of starting a business now, I believe that I have the ability and will definitely do things well." ”

Zhong Jingtian shook his head and sighed.

More than half an hour later, Zhong Qing, who had been tidied up, walked out of the apartment, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Xu Zhiyan standing at the door, looking like she wanted to wait for herself.

"Let's talk."

"What do you want? Although you don't lack money and connections, and you have what I have, I think there must be some things that you can't get now. Xu Zhiyan took out a business card from his bag and handed it to Zhong Qing: "This is the business card of Evan, a well-known foreign designer, I have already said hello to him in advance, no matter when you go, he will give you a lesson in person." ”

"Aren't you going to be a designer? You will definitely get a lot out of studying with such a master. ”

Zhong Qing glanced at the business card handed by Xu Zhiyan, but did not answer it, the latter seemed to have made up his mind to see Zhong Qing take it, but he didn't expect Zhong Qing to have this attitude.

"You were in the Japanese restaurant before, begging me not to be with Gu Xiu, at that time I could see that you really liked Gu Xiu, and I didn't have feelings for him, so I promised you."

Xu Zhiyan pinched the business card in his hand, stared at Zhong Qing and continued to speak.

"But now, I regret it."

For a moment, Xu Zhiyan's forehead was covered with cold sweat, she didn't know what Zhong Qing meant by "regret", whether she regretted what she promised herself, or because she regretted saying that she didn't like Gu Xiu?

Either of these two explanations made Xu Zhiyan unacceptable.

"Why do you say you regret it? Zhong Qing, you don't dare to be with Gu Xiu at all! Because of his identity, only I dare to bear all the gossip and be with him! ”

"By being with him, are you using his mother's safety to force him to be betrothed to you? Xu Zhiyan, you have known Gu Xiu for so many years, you must know him very well, then you should also know what Gu Xiu dislikes the most. ”

Of course, Xu Zhiyan knew that Gu Xiu didn't like to be threatened the most in his life, and it was precisely because he didn't want to give others the opportunity to threaten him and his family, so he stayed in the Gu Group and was ready to go.

"So what are you trying to express by saying so much?" Xu Zhiyan sneered: "Zhong Qing, I'm giving you a chance, don't toast or eat and drink." ”

"You're threatening me?" Zhong Qing's smile was cold, she walked into Xu Zhiyan step by step, for some reason, Xu Zhiyan was shocked by Zhong Qing in front of her, and she unconsciously took a step back.

"I'm determined to eat this cup of fine wine." Zhong Qing said: "I admit that I like Gu Xiu, what do you think of this matter...... Does he even know it? ”

Xu Zhiyan crumpled the business card in her hand, she looked at Zhong Qing who walked into the elevator with hatred, and had to say that Zhong Qing's words just now made her sense of crisis a little heavier.

Zhong Qing in the elevator held her forehead helplessly, regretting that she had said such things to Xu Zhiyan on impulse.

She was crazy to admit to Xu Zhiyan that she liked Gu Xiu, but she didn't know why, since she saw Xu Zhiyan announce her sovereignty over Gu Xiu before, she had been holding back her strength in her heart, she didn't want to lose to Xu Zhiyan, let alone be threatened by Xu Zhiyan.

The words that she said in front of Xu Zhiyan just now blurted out almost without thinking, Zhong Qing regretted it now when she thought about it, she couldn't ignore Xu Zhiyan and leave directly, how could it be......

Until she walked into the studio and sat at her desk, Zhong Qing was still thinking about what had just happened.

"Since you like him too, and he likes you, why can't you be together?"

This sentence pierced Zhong Qing's soul and made her shiver, she came back to her senses and turned her head to look at Gu Ziyu, who was holding a cup of hot milk tea and looking at Zhong Qing with a smile.

Zhong Qing diverted the topic a little awkwardly: "Didn't you have class today?" Why did you come so early? ”

"Don't talk about me, talk about you." Gu Ziyu said: "Early in the morning, the old man of my family took someone to find the second brother, what happened?" ”

Zhong Qing really couldn't explain anything to Gu Ziyu, so she had to shake her head and said, "It's just a misunderstanding, it's okay." ”

"But the expression on your face just now is obviously worried." Gu Ziyu said: "What, could it be that something happened to the second brother?" ”

Zhong Qing frowned: "Why must he be the person I'm worried about?" Can't it be someone else? ”

"Come on, I'm not blind, I can see that you care about the second brother very much, okay?" Gu Ziyu said: "But the two of you are really grinding, you haven't been together for so long, now it's okay, the second brother is forced to get engaged to Xu Zhiyan, although he himself is very repulsive, but the old man of my family has a very resolute attitude......"

Zhong Qing interrupted Gu Ziyu's words and said, "I don't want to do anything with him, Ziyu, you think too much." ”

"Yes, yes, I think too much." Gu Ziyu pouted: "On the third day of the second brother's engagement, you are going to go out for a walk, the second brother chased you to the factory, and after you came back, you were very worried, you have nothing to do with it, right?" ”

Seeing that Zhong Qing was silent, Gu Ziyu said again:

"Zhong Qing, don't you believe the second brother?"

Zhong Qing shook her head and said helplessly: "It's not that I don't believe him. "She just didn't believe in herself.

"Although the second brother used to mix with those rich second generations, I know that he is actually covering up, the second brother is a very good person, and so are you." Gu Ziyu said: "I don't think you have anything to be afraid of, Zhong Qing, you are so good, second brother is so good, as long as you are braver, there will be different results." ”

"But I want stability, I want everything to go according to plan." After experiencing life and death, Zhong Qing felt that her life could no longer withstand any waves: "I don't want to have an accident, and I don't want to ...... Fall in love with someone again. ”

Gu Ziyu stared at Zhong Qing for a long time, and the latter's expression suddenly reminded her of a sentence.

"But Zhong Qing, are you willing to do this?"

Zhong Qing was stunned, she had never considered this matter before Gu Ziyu asked this sentence.

"I ......"

"Although I have been chasing Professor Zhou for so long and have not been with him, I know that if I chose to bury my love for him in my heart and do nothing now, I would definitely be very uncomfortable."

"If you don't accept Gu Xiu in this life, are you willing? Would you rather see love fly away than seize this opportunity? Gu Ziyu hit the nail on the head: "Zhong Qing, you will definitely regret it in the future." ”

Zhong Qing's mood became very excited, just because of Gu Ziyu's words, all her determination and persistence were overturned, and she kept thinking about what Gu Ziyu said in her mind - you will definitely regret it in the future.
