Yun Ling's words pierced Gu Guosheng's heart, even if Gu Guosheng didn't want to admit it, the purpose of his initial recognition with Gu Xiu was definitely not for the sake of simply "blood is thicker than water".

In fact, Gu Guosheng has been investigating Gu Xiu's whereabouts all these years, and after knowing that he graduated from high school and was admitted to a foreign university and won a high scholarship, he began to look at the son he had never raised differently, especially after knowing Gu Xiu's excellent business acumen in college, Gu Guosheng began to plan to recognize Gu Xiu.

It's just that before Gu Guosheng could act, Yun Ling had a car accident, and the desperate Gu Xiu had no choice but to defect to Gu Guosheng, which was exactly what Gu Guosheng wanted. He showed absolute protection for Gu Xiu in front of Wei Mengjun and Gu Zihan, just to create an excellent father image in front of Gu Xiu, but he didn't expect that more than three years later, Gu Xiu still refused to call him "Dad" sincerely.

Gu Guosheng's love for Gu Xiu is not 100% heartfelt, they use each other to maintain peace on the surface, but for Yun Ling, Gu Guosheng always has a knot in his heart, this knot comes from the purest love back then, Gu Guosheng can swear that even after so many years, his love for Yun Ling has not decreased.

It's a pity that Yun Ling turned Gu Guosheng away forever after knowing the truth of the matter.

"At our age, there are some things that should be seen openly, Yun Ling, the past is my fault, I apologize to you." Gu Guosheng would only lower his self-esteem in front of Yun Ling and say, "I'm sorry." ”

It's a pity that Yun Ling still turned her head and refused to look at him, and said: "Some things are not easy to forget the more time passes, Gu Guosheng, if you still have a little conscience, let my son go." ”

"It's not like he's going to let go if he wants to." Gu Guosheng stood up and said, "Gu Xiu is very smart, but it is precisely because of his intelligence that he has endured a lot of things. ”

"Yun Ling, I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as I, Gu Guosheng, am here for a day, I won't let you be hurt again."

Yun Ling's voice was very indifferent: "Your departure is the best protection for me." ”

Gu Guosheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing Yun Ling's resolute eyes, he could only sigh and turn around and leave the lawn. Yun Ling turned her head to look at Gu Guosheng's back, all kinds of things that came to her mind, whether she loved or hated, that man was always the first and only person she had ever loved.

It's just that that memory is going to be sealed in the depths of youth, and thinking about it again will only add to her pain, Yun Ling looked up at the sky, and held back the tears that were rolling in her eyes back into her stomach, at this time Gu Xiu came over and said:

"It's windy outside, I'll take you back to the house."

"Okay." Yun Ling nodded, and then asked, "Gu Xiu, tell me the truth, you don't like Miss Xu, do you already have someone in your heart?" ”

Gu Xiu smiled: "Yes." ”

Yun Ling was a little surprised: "What you like must be a very good girl." ”

"She's fine." Thinking of Zhong Qing's face, the smile on the corner of Gu Xiu's mouth increased, and he repeated as if talking to himself: "She's really good." ”

At the same time, in the workshop of the office building, several people led by Zhong Qing were very busy, the two newly recruited designers were a couple, the girls were doing things in a hurry, and the boys were always slow and methodical in drawing, these two people were moving and quiet, and it was very interesting to watch.

"I contacted a few garment factories here, but someone needed to take the time to inspect the factory." Gu Ziyu raised her head from the computer and said, "Zhong Qing, are you free?" ”

Zhong Qing, who was drawing the design drawing, nodded: "After a while, after a while, I will go to see the design draft in my hand." ”

The female designer Mu Cheng handed the sketch in her hand to Zhong Qing, and seeing that she didn't react, she reached out and snapped her fingers in front of her.

"It's not good for your health to be busy like this." Mu Cheng said: "I understand that the studio has just started to operate, and you need to be busy with a lot of things, but don't push yourself too much, you are our boss, if you collapse, who will I ask for this salary!" ”

Zhong Qing pressed her temples and took a sip of coffee to refresh herself.

"Don't worry, everything is according to the contract, and the money that should be given to you will not be less."

Mu Cheng pinched Chi Rui's face next to him with a smile, as if he regarded this amateur pastime as a way to relieve pressure, Chi Rui's temper was good, even if his face was pinched red, he didn't say a word.

"Well, they're so nice." Gu Ziyu said with envy from the bottom of her heart: "If only I could be like this with Professor Zhou......" After a pause, Gu Ziyu closed the computer, gossiped to Zhong Qing's side and asked:

"How's going with you and Xu Ruo?"

Zhong Qing put down the paintbrush, and before he could speak, he heard Xu Ruo's voice coming from the door-

"What are you talking about, so mysterious?" Xu Ruo put the coffee and refreshments he bought on the table, and the corners of his mouth raised a standard warm smile like a spring breeze, and said, "Take a break, I bought something to eat." ”

Mu Cheng's eyes lit up, and after thanking Xu Ruo, he picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into Chi Rui's mouth without saying anything, Chi Rui looked at Mu Cheng blankly, and his cute appearance made Mu Cheng kiss him on the face.

Gu Ziyu snorted and said, "I suddenly regret working with them, it's really abusive!" ”

Zhong Qing stuffed the coffee into Gu Ziyu's hand, and then took Xu Ruo around to visit.

"Well, it's not bad here, right?" Zhong Qing raised her eyebrows at Xu Ruo, and proudly showed off: "I designed it myself, isn't it amazing?" ”

Xu Ruo was not stingy with his praise, he looked at Zhong Qing with a smile: "I have never doubted your ability, and you have never disappointed anyone." ”

"Why do you have time to come to me today?"

"My dad is going to have a banquet at home tomorrow, and they are all friends who are related to the four families, so I'll let you know."

Gu Ziyu deliberately said beside him: "Did you come here to inform Zhong Qing?" Why don't we have this treatment, Xu Ruo, you treat it differently! ”

Zhong Qing coughed lightly twice, and Gu Ziyu ran to the side with the coffee in her hand.

"Because I was worried that you and Uncle Zhong were still in a cold war, my father asked me to inform you." Xu Ruo said: "What time do you get off work tomorrow, I'll pick you up." ”

Zhong Qing thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I'll just go over by myself after work tomorrow." ”

"Your car was sold to open this studio, so let me pick you up." Xu Ruodao: "Be my female companion, just like before, isn't it?" ”

Speaking of this, if Zhong Qing refuses again, it seems a little deliberate, looking at Xu Ruo's serious eyes, Zhong Qing agreed hard.

"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow."

Xu Ruo got Zhong Qing's nod, the stone in his heart fell to the ground, he chatted with Zhong Qing briefly and then left, Zhong Qing sent him to the elevator door, and after returning to the studio, the three people, including Gu Ziyu, looked at her with strange eyes.

"Boss, even I, an outsider, can see that he likes you." Mu Cheng said excitedly: "Wouldn't he be Xu Ruo, who was ranked third on the Golden Bachelor List in City A last month!" Oh my God, real people are more handsome than photos! ”

Zhong Qing didn't know what was not ranked, but Gu Ziyu was interested.

"Third place? Who are the top two? ”

Mu Cheng took out the magazine from the drawer and spread it out in front of Gu Ziyu: "Well, the second place is Gu Zihan, and the first place is Gu Xiu!" is the illegitimate son of Gu Guosheng who suddenly broke out in the news before, I heard that there is a lot of unrest in the Gu Group now, it may be related to him. ”

"Restless?" Zhong Qing frowned and asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

"It's nothing more than two sons competing for a company, and the Gu Group is now so big, the competition between the two of them must be fierce." Mu Cheng said: "There are rumors that Gu Zihan intends to kick Gu Xiu out of the company, and now the board of directors wants to remove him, but Gu Guosheng has been protecting Gu Xiu, so Gu Zihan has not succeeded." ”

What Gu Ziyu said later, Zhong Qing couldn't hear it anymore, all she thought about was what Gu Zihan and Zhong Nian had done to herself for the Zhong Group before she was reborn, but now everything has changed, she has withdrawn from the disputes in the four major families, so now Gu Zihan's firepower is aimed at Gu Xiu......

Zhong Qing couldn't sit still, she hurriedly put away the sketch in her hand, said hello to Gu Ziyu and left the studio first.

"What's wrong, boss?" Mu Cheng reacted in hindsight: "It won't be because I mentioned Gu Zihan and talked about her sadness......

"It's not because of my eldest brother, it seems to be because of my second brother." Gu Ziyu has never been involved in the affairs of the Gu Group, as the youngest daughter of the Gu family, she has obtained the freedom that her three elder brothers dream of, although she has heard of the eldest brother and the second brother fighting in the company these days, but it is the first time she has heard this kind of thing from the mouths of outsiders.

Gu Ziyu suddenly understood what his father meant by telling him to maintain the family's face outside.

On the other side, in the Zhong Shi Group, Zhong Nian opened the invitation sent by Xu Jie, squinting his eyes and hesitating.

Counting the time, it's been almost ten days. Since the last time they quarreled with Gu Zihan, they haven't spoken for nearly ten days, every day Gu Zihan goes home and lives in the guest room, and it is ironic enough that the husband and wife live under the same roof without any communication, not to mention that this kind of thing suddenly came, she Zhong Nian didn't know what to do.

If she continues to fight with Gu Zi, maybe it will be exactly what she Zhong Qing's wish is, and Zhong Nian is unwilling to make a fool of herself in front of Zhong Qing even if she is killed. Even if there is not much love left between her and Gu Zihan, in front of outsiders, she still has to maintain the appearance of affection with Gu Zihan, she wants to tell everyone that there is nothing wrong with their marriage, she Zhong Qing married Gu Zihan, and she will always be happy.
