Chapter 30: Start Again

"You are talking to me like this for Gu Xiu's sake?"

In the past, Zhong Qing was lively and kind, and she always had a cute face with a smile on her face, but now she not only has a cold expression, but also has undisguised disgust and alienation in her eyes, Gu Zihan is inexplicably flustered.

If you like a person, your world is colorful, but once you don't like him, you don't want to look at his world again. Gu Zihan didn't expect Zhong Qing to be so ruthless, and if he said he didn't like it, he could completely forget it.

Gu Zihan's heart unexpectedly rose with a sense of anger of betrayal, this anger was related to Gu Xiu, and it was also related to Zhong Qing's determination.

"You said you liked me back then, was it all fake?" Gu Zihan grabbed Zhong Qing, who was about to leave, and asked.

Zhong Qing tried hard to shake off Gu Zihan's hand, but his strength was terrifying, the waiter in the restaurant had no intention of helping at all, Zhong Qing didn't want to make a big fuss, so he had to return to his seat with a cold face.

"Now, what's the use of you asking this?"

"I want to know." Gu Zihan looked at Zhong Qing: "Do you really like me?" ”

"Yes, I liked you back then, I liked you so much, and my biggest dream is to marry you one day." Recalling her past self, Zhong Qing's heart was like a knife: "But what about you? Gu Zihan, what you like is Zhong Nian, but you still want to use me to get the investment of Zhong Group, you treat me as a pawn of the plan, and it is a waste that can be thrown away at any time. ”

Why didn't Zhong Qing notice it back then? Every time she and Gu Zihan met alone, after coming back, Zhong Nian would always ask herself about all the details of the meeting, and she didn't think much about it at that time, and really told Zhong Nian everything.

In fact, at that time, Zhong Nian and Gu Zihan were already secretly dating, and the reason why Zhong Nian hid it from himself was to see his expression of collapse after learning the truth, right?

In the face of Zhong Qing's accusation, Gu Zihan was shameless, he couldn't deny his original ambition and conspiracy, but he couldn't deny that he had gradually gotten used to having her by his side in his years of getting along with Zhong Nian.

He once thought that Zhong Qing was a burden, and her existence was redundant, because Zhong Qing herself was very dazzling, beautiful, with excellent grades and a cheerful personality, and she was the image of a goddess in almost everyone's minds.

But Zhong Nian is different, she is like a shadow behind Zhong Qing, very low-key, when Zhong Qing is laughing with others, she sits obediently on the side, looking at those people with a smile, only after contact does she know how gentle Zhong Nian's personality is.

Accustomed to Zhong Qing's character, Gu Zihan was slowly attracted by Zhong Nian, who was as gentle as water, and the independent and cheerful Zhong Qing, Zhong Nian was a little timid, delicate and easy to be shy, Gu Zihan gradually developed a special protective desire for Zhong Nian, and as time went by, that protective desire became like.

Gu Zihan wanted to protect Zhong Nian, especially after Zhong Nian's crying pear blossom brought rain to find him, and after he was forced to say that he was bullied by Zhong Qing, Gu Zihan instantly felt disgusted with Zhong Qing, and at the same time felt very sorry for Zhong Nian.

Although the only remaining reason told Gu Zihan that Zhong Qing was not the kind of person who would bully Zhong Nian, Zhong Nian cried miserably in front of him, and Gu Zihan didn't even think about putting all the blame on Zhong Qing.

"You like Zhong Nian, you should have said it earlier."

Zhong Qing still can't forget the "wedding" before rebirth, Gu Zihan desperately jumped into the water to rescue Zhong Nian, at that moment she clearly understood that in the relationship between the three people, the person who was not loved was the superfluous one.

Gu Zihan looked at Zhong Qing, he could feel the sadness and pain she was enduring forcibly, and when he thought that her pain was caused by himself, Gu Zihan blamed himself.

"I'm sorry." The weight of these three words seems to be heavy, but it can't make up for the damage caused by Gu Zihan to Zhong Qing, and saying it now is just to make my heart feel better.

"Zhong Qing, if possible......"

"It's not possible." Zhong Qing interrupted Gu Zihan's words and said, "There is no possibility. ”

"It's your wedding with Zhong Nian soon, Gu Zihan, I won't bless you."

But what Gu Zihan wanted was not Zhong Qing's blessing, a certain emotion faintly rose in his heart, and he seemed a little reluctant to Zhong Qing in front of him.

At this moment, the waiter walked to Gu Zihan's side, bent down and whispered to him a few times, Gu Zihan frowned, and before he could say anything, a figure rushed in at the door.

After Zhong Nian got the news that Gu Zihan had chartered the entire restaurant to invite people to dinner, her sixth sense told her that something was wrong, so she put down her work and ran here, but she didn't expect to see her fiancΓ© sitting with Zhong Qing.

Zhong Nian couldn't restrain her expression a little, and she asked coldly, "What are you doing?" ”

"Xiao Nian." Gu Zihan got up and walked towards Zhong Nian and explained, "We just had a brief chat because of things at work. ”

Zhong Nian's eyes turned red, and she looked at Gu Zihan aggrievedly: "Is it just because of work?" So why would you want to charter the entire restaurant? ”

Zhong Qing stood up and said expressionlessly: "What, Mr. Gu apologized to me without notifying his fiancΓ©e in advance?" It's a pity, I thought you were thin-skinned and embarrassed to speak, so I asked Gu Zihan to apologize to me. ”

"Apologize?" Zhong Nian was stunned: "What apology?" ”

"Do you think you don't need to apologize for all the disgusting things you did?" Zhong Qing sneered, she walked past Gu Zihan and Zhong Nian, and deliberately said in a voice that everyone could hear:

"Thank you Mr. Gu for your concern, what is the relationship between me and Gu Xiu, I don't bother you, I have written down everything you said today, rest assured, I will definitely attend your wedding on time."

After speaking, Zhong Qing left the restaurant without looking back, leaving Zhong Nian who pushed Gu Zihan away, and was put in a position by Zhong Qing who didn't know how to explain Gu Zihan.

"Zihan, what did you tell her?"

Zhong Qing's words made Zhong Nian suspicious, she looked at Gu Zihan uneasily, knowing that Gu Zihan and Zhong Qing eating alone had made her unacceptable, but she didn't expect Gu Zihan to say such things to Zhong Qing behind her back.

"Zihan, do you still like Zhong Qing?" Zhong Nian's tears fell, she pretended to be wronged, and said, "It's okay with me, if you still like her, I can quit automatically." ”

Gu Zihan hugged Zhong Nian distressedly and said comfortingly: "Good, don't think about it, Zhong Qing deliberately said those words to anger you." ”

Zhong Nian hugged Gu Zihan and sobbed: "Zihan, don't lie to me." ”

Gu Zihan looked at the back of Zhong Qing leaving, as if a large piece had been dug away, and he was in a trance for a while holding the woman in his arms.

After a while, he said, "Well, I won't lie to you." ”

Wei Lan waited at the door of the restaurant for half an hour, and was a little uneasy when she saw Zhong Nian enter, and after another five minutes, Zhong Qing walked out unharmed.

"Mr. Wei?" Seeing Wei Lan, Zhong Qing was a little surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

"The second master is not at ease, let me come and take a look." Wei Lan said: "They didn't embarrass you, did they?" ”

Zhong Qing shook his head: "No, it's just a simple chat." ”

"That'...... Miss Zhong, shall I drive you home? ”

"It's okay, I'll just walk by myself." Zhong Qing said: "Thank you Gu Xiu for your concern for me, you can go back first." ”

Wei Lan nodded and turned to leave. Zhong Qing stood on the busy street, took a deep breath, and after relaxing, she flagged down a taxi.

Half an hour later, Zhong Qing walked into a fashion company with a sorted resume in his hand, and like all the girls who came for the interview, Zhong Qing stood in the line and slowly moved forward with the crowd.

"We have taken a look at your resume, Miss Zhong, your major in college is not fashion design, but business management, in this regard, we feel that the span is a bit large."

Finally, when it came to Zhong Qing's conversation with the interviewer, the latter did not appear interested.

"Also...... The company you worked for before was Zhongshi Group, and to be honest, with your experience, you can go to other professional companies, and we are not suitable for you here. ”

Zhong Qing said: "I can learn!" In college, I minored in fashion design, and although I didn't specialize in this area, I was confident that I could do it well. ”

"Faith is one thing, reality is another." The interviewer really didn't understand, how could an eldest lady like Zhong Qing suddenly leave the family group and come to their small company to apply, Zhong Qing's professionalism was not high, and she was originally eliminated in the first exam, but considering that she was a member of the Zhong family, the company still gave her the opportunity to interview.

"I'm sorry Miss Zhong, you are not suitable for our company."

"Thank you."

Zhong Qing packed up her resume and turned to leave.

Before, when Zhong Qing said that he wanted to find a job again, Xu Ruo said that he could find a suitable job for Zhong Qing in the Xu family's hotel, and Gu Ziyu also tried to help after hearing about it, but Zhong Qing refused.

"If you're interested in fashion design, I can invest in you to open a studio." On the phone, Xu Ruo said to Zhong Qing: "You don't have to work for others, I can help you hire a group of professional designers." ”

With the publicity power of the Xu family, it is more than enough to help Zhong Qing open a studio, as long as Zhong Qing wants to do it, even without Zhong Jingtian's support, she can have many advantages just by virtue of her Zhong family's identity.

"Even if I want to open a studio, I have to use my own money." Zhong Qing doesn't want to owe anyone a favor, she is so stiff with her biological father now, Zhong Shi Group can't go back, even if Xu Ruo says she wants to help, Zhong Qing will feel awkward.

"Xu Ruo, you don't have to worry about me, I am looking for a clothing company to work to accumulate experience, it's really fine." Zhong Qing said confidently: "One day, I will open a studio on my own, because I want to prove to everyone that even without the protection of the Zhong family, I can live well." ”

Even if it is a biological father, he will doubt his biological daughter for his own interests, Zhong Qing knows very well that no one in this world will protect her forever, only she can protect her.
