Chapter 1: Death
A pure gold Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the gate of a large five-star hotel. Immediately, a uniformed doorman came up and respectfully opened the door, and then a middle-aged man and a woman in their twenties got out of the car.
The middle-aged man is tall and straight, handsome in appearance, and has an extraordinary bearing. He straightened his Dior suit, his face was a little serious, and a ******** in a Chanel dress next to him grabbed his arm with a smile, turned back to the young woman behind him and smiled: "Changqing, hurry up." ”
The woman called Changqing covered her mouth and yawned secretly, and replied lazily: "It's coming." ”
She had a shoulder-length curly haircut, which was the most fashionable hairstyle of the year, and she spent a morning in the top hair salon for today's blind date, which perfectly reflected her beauty.
She walked a few quick steps to catch up with the middle-aged man and woman in front.
The three of them walked through the revolving crystal gate and into the palatial hall.
The middle-aged man glanced back at Changqing, frowned, and said, "Why are you listless?" Today's dinner is very important, the other party is Huaya Group, Huang Tao Huang Gongzi is the crown prince of Huaya Group, is the only heir of Huaya Group, and our Kong family is right, this time our two families will have major project cooperation, it is best to be able to become in-laws, you don't give me this matter to make trouble! ”
Although the voice was not loud, the tone was quite stern.
Changqing lowered his head and didn't say anything.
The middle-aged man seemed to be angry when he saw her like this, "All the messy things you did before, I have settled all for you!" This opportunity is precious, if you are not surnamed Gu, it will not be your turn! You warn me that something went wrong, but don't blame me for ignoring the relationship between father and daughter! ”
Gu Changqing glanced at his father Kong Qingxiang, and his face turned slightly pale.
Her father's surname is Kong, and her surname is Gu. Because she follows her motherhood. At the beginning, when his father joined the Gu family, his grandfather had a word with him that the first child born to his mother in the future could only be surnamed Gu, regardless of gender.
It's a pity that his mother died early, and most of the shares of Gu's Group fell into the hands of his father Kong Qingxiang, and now, Gu's has become Kong's.
********Seeing Gu Changqing's sad look on her face, her delicate makeup face showed unbearability, and she said to Kong Qingxiang: "Qingxiang, okay, what are you doing when you mention the past again?" Who hasn't made a mistake? Why hold on to it and embarrass your child? On a day like today, when you talk about this, doesn't it affect Changqing's mood more? ”
The voice was as gentle as water, which not only soothed the anger in Kong Qingxiang's heart, but also soothed Gu Changqing's scarred heart.
Gu Changqing cast a grateful look at his stepmother.
Everyone says that the stepmother is vicious, but this stepmother Qiu Wanyi really has nothing to say to her, she cares about her everywhere, and always responds to her needs, which is more appropriate than her own daughter.
Since the death of her mother, Gu Changqing has really felt love from her, whether it is in City B, or the days when she studied abroad, and the dark years later, her stepmother has always cared about her. It can be said that in Gu Changqing's heart, the status of his stepmother will not be lower than that of his own mother Gu Linglong.
Qiu Wanyi reached out to hold Gu Changqing's hand, and said softly: "Changqing, your father also cares about you, don't care." After speaking, he let go of Kong Qingxiang's hand, went to Gu Changqing's side, lowered his voice, and said affectionately: "I heard that this Huang Taizi is a talent, comparable to an idol star, you don't blame your father for meddling in your life's affairs, because the other party is really a rare good man, and only you have this qualification, like Yufen, even if you want to come here, you can't." ”
It was a completely comforting tone, without the slightest hint of acidity.
Gu Changqing replied: "I think my sister is more suitable than me." ”
Qiu Wanyi smiled, "It's a pity that Yufen doesn't have the surname Gu." ”
Gu Changqing understood what she meant, her sister Kong Yufen was brought into the Kong family after her stepmother and father got married, and she was the child born to Qiu Wanyi and her ex-husband. After entering the door, he changed his surname to Kong. Everyone knows about this matter, in terms of birth, Kong Yufen is indeed inferior to Gu Changqing, and it is no wonder that the Huang family looks down on her.
Actually, Gu Changqing didn't mind her father's arrangement of her marriage at all, anyway, it's like this, who is not married?
The three of them entered the elevator and went to the hotel's restaurant, and as soon as the restaurant manager saw them, he walked up to them and smiled, "Mr. Kong, Mrs. Kong, Miss Gu, and Mr. Huang are already waiting in the private room." ”
Gu's net worth was the number one family in City B many years ago, and now after so many years of development and expansion of Kong Qingxiang, people have made him nod everywhere he goes.
Kong Qingxiang said "um", he didn't even glance at each other out of the corner of his eyes, and the restaurant manager didn't care, and took the three of them straight into the luxurious private room.
After the three of them entered, the restaurant manager's face immediately sank, he looked at the direction of the door of the private room, softly "bah", and said in a low voice: "Isn't it just pulling the corner of the woman's skirt and climbing up?" Proud of what? ”
The Deluxe Private Dining Room is a large room, with floor-to-ceiling glass on the outside wall, so you can clearly see the view outside. At the long table by the window, a pair of middle-aged men and women sat up, and when they saw them, the middle-aged men and women stood up and greeted the Kong couple warmly.
This middle-aged man and woman are naturally the Huang couple.
Kong Qingxiang greeted the other party with a smile on his face, looked at the private room, and asked, "Why don't you see Ling Gongzi?" ”
The Huang couple immediately looked embarrassed, and Mrs. Huang laughed dryly and said, "Huang Tao is in a hurry for the time being, and he may have to come over later." ”
Qiu Wanyi said with a smile: "Your Excellency is busy, so Gongzi's talent is visible to all, and it is common to be late for a while." ”
These words made Mrs. Huang's heart very comfortable, she smiled and pulled Qiu Wanyi, looked up and down, and said: "It is said that Mr. Kong married a good wife, and it is true when I see it today." ”
Gu Changqing's heart darkened slightly when he heard this, and now no one remembers Gu Linglong......
However, Qiu Wanyi is also the person she likes, and she is still happy for her when she is appreciated by others.
The two parties pushed each other to sit down, Gu Changqing sat next to Qiu Wanyi, and Mrs. Huang was opposite. Mrs. Huang looked at her with a smile on her face and asked her random questions, such as what she studied there and what she studied. Later, I asked about the life of studying abroad.
Mrs. Huang smiled and asked, "I heard that Miss Gu returned to China half a year early, why didn't she come back after graduation?" ”
Gu Changqing's face changed slightly, and the two hands placed at the bottom of the table became cold.
Suddenly, a hand reached out next to her to hold her hand, and the warm and soft hand gave her some strength.
It was Qiu Wanyi's hand.
Gu Changqing's heart warmed, she raised her head, looked at Mrs. Huang, and said with a smile: "At that time, my father was a little unwell, so he came back early. ”
Qiu Wanyi next to her said: "Actually, Changqing has already completed his credits, even if he doesn't graduate, it's okay." ”
Mrs. Huang was pleasantly surprised: "It turns out that Miss Gu is so smart and capable. ”
Gu Changqing smiled slightly, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip gently.
For these credits, my father spent a lot of money......
After a few more small talks, Prince Huang had not yet arrived, and the smiles on the faces of the Huang couple became more and more reluctant. Kong Qingxiang still chatted with Mr. Huang casually, talking about some business matters. He was naturally a little unhappy in his heart, but the other party has strong financial resources, and this cooperation depends on the other party a lot, what is this little thing?
It's all about business.
Gu Changqing was a little impatient in her heart, the other party was so late, it can be seen that she didn't take this blind date to heart at all, and she didn't want to take her eyes to herself, she wanted to walk away, but she didn't dare to offend her father, everything she had was in her father's hands, it was not impossible to resist, but she couldn't bear the consequences.
But she was really depressed in her heart, she turned her head and whispered in Qiu Wanyi's ear, "Auntie, I'll go out for a while." ”
"But you want me to accompany you."
Gu Changqing shook his head, greeted the Huang couple opposite, picked up his LV bag, and walked out of the private room.
Out of the private room, I turned a corner, and wanted to go to the staircase to smoke a cigarette, but I ran into Kong Yufen head-on.
Kong Yufen is one year older than Gu Changqing, and unlike Gu Changqing's delicateness, Kong Yufen is a radiant and gorgeous, and she is the focus wherever she goes.
She was wearing a Dior dress from the latest season, which was flown in from Paris and not yet available for sale in the city. The first-class tailoring complements her tall and delicate figure.
When she saw Gu Changqing, she smiled slightly, and then walked towards her, her long curly hair hanging down to her waist swayed with the frequency of her movements, full of passion and vitality. Just a few steps attract the eyes of everyone around.
This sister is not related to her, although they are not close, but because of Qiu Wanyi's relationship, Gu Changqing still gives this sister more face.
Gu Changqing looked at her and smiled, "Sister, why are you here?" ”
Kong Yufen walked up to her and stroked the long hair in her ear, with a charming posture. She smiled, her impeccable features revealing a kind of charm because of this smile.
"My friend asked me to eat here, what about you?"
"Sister forgot? Today I was out and the Huang couple were eating here. ”
Kong Yufen let out an "oh", as if she had just remembered, "Yes, today is your blind date with Prince Huang." She rolled her eyes and glanced at her. What about the Yellow Prince? ”
Gu Changqing shook his head, "I haven't seen it yet." He added, "It's a little stuffy inside, so I'm going to go for a walk." ”
Kong Yufen pulled her over: "In that case, come and sit with me." ”
Gu Changqing followed her to a smaller private room, and when she walked in, there was no one else inside.
Kong Yufen smiled, "Maybe I went to the bathroom." Saying that, he asked Gu Changqing to sit down, then took a glass of wine from the side and handed it to her, "What I just called is a new fruit wine, you can try it." ”
Gu Changqing took it and took a sip gently, it was mellow and delicious, with a little fruity fragrance, not bad. Gu Changqing took a few more sips.
Kong Yufen sat next to her, a smile on her beautiful face.
Suddenly, Gu Changqing's hand was loosened, the crystal cup in her hand fell to the ground, shattered, she stood up, supported the table with one hand, and covered her chest with the other, only to feel that something was blocked in her chest, and she couldn't breathe.
Her face turned pale, she opened her mouth and panted, moaning in pain, and then she grabbed Kong Yufen's clothes and begged for help: "Sister, ......, I'm panting...... Out of breath...... Hurry up ......" said that there was no way to continue, and the whole person was so soft that he was on the ground.
Kong Yufen seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly squatted beside her, her beautiful face full of worry, "What's wrong with you?" Don't worry, I'll call someone over right away. ”
Gu Changqing's face was covered with sweat, and his mind gradually blurred.
Kong Yufen turned around and walked out of the private room, and when she came out, she gently closed the door of the private room, and a sneer overflowed from the corner of her mouth.
She walked forward as if nothing had happened.
