Zhong Qing is a very insecure person, and since she was reborn, that insecurity has been with her, making it difficult for her to trust anyone anymore.

Once because of her innocence, she simply thought that the people around her were kind and beautiful, but when the cruelest truth was laid out in front of her nakedly, the worldview she thought of collapsed, and all that was left in front of her was devastation.

She had tasted the feeling of being betrayed by the person she believed in the most, so she used the strongest armor to protect herself, and after Zhong Qing was reborn, anyone who wanted to harm her did not end well, she was always retribution, and she was never merciful to the kind of person who threatened her.

If you want not to be harmed, you have to return the damage that the other party wants to inflict on you a hundredfold and a thousand times.

Vivien was the best example of this, Zhong Qing vowed not to let herself be wronged again, and she didn't want to trust anyone anymore.

Only Gu Xiu...... Only Gu Xiu was an accident, Zhong Qing had never felt this way, she had obviously stepped into the swamp with two feet, but she could still see a beam of light shining on her body.

Gu Xiu approached Zhong Qing with his lowest posture, and his affection and gentleness made Zhong Qing's selfishness and uneasiness nowhere to hide in the sun.

I can suddenly understand why Xu Zhiyan likes Gu Xiu for so many years and still refuses to give up. Because Gu Xiu is really good, he is willing to go to the trouble for the people he cares about, and his affection seems to have melted the protective film that Zhong Qing used to protect himself.

But the more affectionate Gu Xiu was, the more Zhong Qing didn't dare to accept it, after experiencing a sudden turn in life, Zhong Qing no longer believed in feelings, Gu Zihan's betrayal was a thorn in her heart, and she didn't have the confidence to meet the next relationship.

Even if Zhong Qing was so strong in front of outsiders, Gu Xiu knew that there were still many uneasiness hidden in her heart, and as for the source of those uneasiness, Zhong Qing refused to say, and Gu Xiu did not force it.

Just like Gu Xiu himself said, even if Zhong Qing didn't like him in his life, he was willing to do everything for Zhong Qing.

Just like Zhong Qing loved Gu Zihan so deeply back then, now Gu Xiu loves Zhong Qing deeply, the former is lost after gaining, and the latter is guarded even if he can't get it.

Zhong Qing couldn't stand Gu Xiu's hot eyes, and she almost left his house as if she was running away.

Until he closed the door of his house, Zhong Qing sat on the ground, and his heart was still beating violently.

"I'm good to you, it's completely voluntary, you don't have to be responsible."

"Even if you don't like me in your life, I don't regret it, Zhong Qing, I know you're afraid, with me here, I will always protect you."

Gu Xiu's words were like a spell, repeating them in Zhong Qing's ears, and she covered her head, desperately trying to get the voice out of her mind.

Three days later.

There was a long queue at the door of the Tianqi bar, and everyone was anxiously waiting, for fear that they would not be able to enter the bar if they outnumbered them.

Gu Xiu stood by the bar and personally served every guest who ordered wine, for no other reason, that is, because he Gu Xiu was in a good mood today, not only did all the drinks in Tianqian be half discounted tonight, but he, the boss, also personally came out to entertain the guests.

The hottest band was singing on stage, Gu Xiu kept bartending for the guests with both hands, and was thrown more than a dozen winks by different types of women in just a few dozen minutes. Many people came for Gu Xiu's face and his fame, but for some reason, Gu Xiu, who usually doesn't refuse to come, didn't have a female companion today, and even turned a blind eye to those women who took the initiative to show favor.

"What's wrong with the second master lately? I didn't have a regular female companion around, and I couldn't even ask him out for one night. A scantily clad woman stood beside Wei Lan and complained angrily: "I greeted the second master just now, but he didn't recognize me!" I'm so! ”

"Brother Wei, what do you say is the matter with the second master? In the past few months, I haven't been close to women, and I don't even want to see our old friends, what do you mean? ”

Wei Lan smiled: "It's not that the second master is not close to women, but the women he wants to be close to are not you." ”

"What do you mean? Could it be that the second master has someone he wants to have a serious relationship with? ”

Wei Lan handed the woman an ambiguous look: "Guess? ”

The Tianqi bar was very lively, the customer flow reached a peak in recent months, most of the customers were queuing up next to the bar, Gu Xiu's hands were so busy that he couldn't stop, but his mood was not affected.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the door of the bar, Wei Lan immediately became vigilant, the guests in the bar let out a scream, and the guitarist of the band on the stage played a very harsh note, and then rushed up a few people in black to drive away the guests in the bar and let the band off the stage.

The white-clothed bodyguard in the bar had a guy in his hand, as long as Gu Xiu gave an order, Wei Lan could lead someone to beat out those who came to make trouble.

But Gu Xiu didn't give an order, he just mixed the last cocktail very calmly, and then stood behind the bar, calmly looking at Gu Zihan who walked in.

Gu Zihan, who was dressed in a black suit, was completely different from before, he was followed by dozens of people in black, and all the guests rushed to the door, and after a while, the bar became empty.

"Manager Gu came to my bar at night to make trouble?" Gu Xiu wiped the cup and said to Gu Zihan casually: "What, is it because the Gu Group doesn't pay you enough salary, do you want to come to me to get some oil and water?" ”

Gu Zihan walked to the bar and said to Gu Xiu: "Are you going to close the heavens?" ”

"The news spread pretty fast." Gu Xiu generously admitted: "Yes, I'm going to close this bar and cut off the Gu family's last power in the underworld, what's the matter, do you have an opinion?" ”

"Leave the miscellaneous things to you, how can I have an opinion. What's more, it's not my hands that are dirty. Gu Zihan said provocatively: "I brought someone here today just to ask you a word, Gu Xiu, when are you leaving." ”

Gu Xiu narrowed his eyes, and his smile gradually converged: "When did I say I was leaving?" Even if the Tianqi bar is closed, I am still the vice president of the Gu Group, and it is always a career that can see the light. ”

"Don't forget what you said three years ago!" Gu Zihan grabbed Gu Xiu's collar, Wei Lan wanted to step forward to help when he saw this, the two forces were about to move, and they were both wary of whether the other party would make the first move.

Gu Xiu pinched Gu Zihan's wrist, and his strength slowly increased.

"You didn't just want me to leave with so many people today?" Gu Xiu said coldly: "Gu Zihan, I warn you, closing the Tianqi Bar does not mean that my Gu Xiu's power is gone, if you want to move me, first weigh your own weight." ”

Feeling the pain in his wrist, Gu Zihan frowned slightly.

Gu Xiu knew too much what he meant by coming here, and wanted to probe his own style, no matter whether he said to leave or not, Gu Zihan had already made up his mind to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

He, Gu Zihan, would not leave behind a person who might pose a threat to him in the future, Gu Xiu knew this. The position of the vice president of Gu's Group is his last trump card for registration, as long as Gu Xiu can give full play to his exploitable value, Gu Zihan and Wei Mengjun must take care of Gu Guosheng before they want to do it.

Gu Xiu has not yet taken root in the Gu Group, and before he has a strong ability to protect his mother Yun Ling, he will not fall, let alone become a fish and meat that Gu Zihan's subordinates are allowed to slaughter.

Letting go of Gu Xiu's collar, Gu Zihan glanced at his reddened wrist that was pinched, and sneered.

In the next second, Gu Xiu held a dagger against Gu Zihan's neck, and the atmosphere in the bar suddenly became tense, and no one saw how Gu Xiu jumped out from behind the bar, directly threatening Gu Zihan's life.

"Do you believe that I smashed your bar, and the police will come to the door directly?" Gu Zihan's face did not change and threatened.

Gu Xiu smiled: "You threaten me?" Even if it was smashed, it wasn't me who would have to explain to my father when the time came. ”

Gu Zihan's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent: "Do you think I will be afraid of him?" ”

"You're not afraid." The dagger in Gu Xiu's hand leaned towards Gu Zihan's neck: "But you are afraid of this dagger in my hand, Gu Zihan, if it is stained with blood today, it must be yours." ”

"Who of you dares to stop me! Don't you know the face of the Zhong family! ”

At this moment, Zhong Qing's voice suddenly sounded from the direction of the door, Gu Xiu's attention was distracted, Gu Zihan immediately took this opportunity to kick Gu Xiu to the ground, and several people in black stepped forward and held down Gu Xiu.

Wei Lan and the other subordinates wanted to help, but before they could move, a man in black put a knife against their chest from the side. Gu Zihan brought too many people, Gu Xiu sent most of his subordinates to protect Yun Ling in the hospital, not to mention that no one would have thought that Gu Zihan would dare to make trouble in the Tianqian bar in person, and it was impossible to prevent it.

The first time Zhong Qing saw this kind of scene, her calves were trembling all the time, Gu Xiu was pressed to the ground, and she frowned when she saw Zhong Qing coming in - how could this woman suddenly appear here!

"Zhong Qing, what are you doing here?" Gu Zihan wanted to stop Zhong Qing, but the latter shook off his hand and walked directly to the bar, and when she saw Gu Xiu being held down, she gasped.

"Gu Zihan, I've already called the police." Zhong Qing's voice trembled, but he didn't flinch in the slightest: "Take your people and leave!" ”

Gu Zihan said: "The Gu family's affairs have nothing to do with you, Zhong Qing, I will send someone to send you back." ”

Zhong Qing glanced at Gu Xiu behind him, and stubbornly refused to leave: "Gu Zihan, do you think the police can't control you?" Then let me tell you, I just contacted reporters, they are all people who can do anything to get the scoop, what do you think will happen to you if this scene is filmed and the news comes out tomorrow? ”

Thinking that the reason why Zhong Qing was already afraid of being like this and still holding on to it was because of Gu Xiu, the anger in Gu Zihan's heart was even greater.

"You want to protect Gu Xiu?" Gu Zi laughed coldly: "Zhong Qing, I can promise you other things, but this matter is not negotiable!" ”
