Late at night in late summer in Lin city, there was always a chill in the air.
Surrounded by the crowd, Lin Nancheng walked forward calmly. The flash of his camera, as well as the reporters competing to ask questions, sent the explosive scandal directly to the top of Weibo's hot searches.
Everyone knew that Song Qishan, the CEO of the Song Group, had countless women outside, and there were many illegitimate children who were not allowed to see the light of day. Song Guo was one of Song Qishan's many illegitimate children.
Although the Lin family had declined, a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse. In addition, Lin Yan had remarried into the Fu family in the most glorious manner. This also made the Lin family's future movements become the focus of attention in Lin city.
Of course, other than that, the Lin family was once the most prominent Red Army in Lin city. Lin Nancheng was also the most outstanding one among the second generation of Lin city's financial magnate. With his conditions, if he wanted to find a woman with a first-rate family background and outstanding abilities.. It was not difficult for the Lin family to rise again and regain its former glory.
However, he chose the most difficult path. This was also the most surprising part.
In short, compared to the song family, the Lin family and Lin Nancheng were more mysterious and interesting in the eyes of everyone.
It was also because of this that Lin Nancheng's original intention of making a big deal out of this matter was easily realized.
Song Qishan rushed to the Galaxy hotel behind a group of reporters. When he saw the crowd surrounding Lin Nancheng, the unknown fire in his heart quickly spread out from his chest.
He could not help but take a deep breath. Under the protection of a few bodyguards, he strode towards the hotel entrance.
He looked aggressive. It was obvious that he wanted to find Song Guo and interrogate her.
Lin Nancheng saw Song Qishan from far away and saw the expression on his face.
Song Qishan was a wily old fox. Even if he was very unhappy, he would not turn his anger on him.
After all, the foundation of the Lin family was there. He could not afford to offend them.
However, he needed money to transfer to the song group. Obviously, Lin Nancheng could not afford that money now.
After this matter was exposed, Song Guo's chances of remarrying were slim. It should be exactly what Lin Nancheng wanted. How could he not know that Lin Nancheng had arranged all of this on purpose? He was obviously playing hooligan with him and did not want to give him the money.. He wanted to play with his daughter for nothing again. How could he swallow this?
Song Qishan walked in without looking sideways. The moment he brushed past Lin Nancheng, he could clearly see Lin Nancheng's disdain and provocation from the corner of his eyes. This made him even angrier.
When Lin Nancheng saw Song Qishan's ridiculously dark face, the corners of his lips curled up without a trace, but very quickly, they became a straight line again.
He glanced at a spot not far ahead, then raised his arm and waved. Following that, more than a dozen mercenaries and bodyguards walked over and separated the group of reporters surrounding him. He strode towards the Black Bentley car in front of the parking lot Half a minute later, he started the car and left the hotel, leaving behind only the shadow of a speeding car.
...
Song Qishan accurately found the high-class suite that Song Guo was in. He waved off the bodyguards beside him, and when he pressed the doorbell, his entire body was trembling from the anger that was constantly gushing out from his chest.
Song Guo sat on the ground for a long time, so long that her entire body began to become numb and stiff. Only then did she move.
Just as she was about to get up and leave, she heard the doorbell ring.
She thought that it was Lin Nancheng who had left and returned, so without thinking, she opened the door of the suite. However, when she saw the person standing outside the door, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She couldn't even move, and she froze there.
Song Qishan snorted angrily. Without saying a word, he raised his big hand and waved it at her.
Song Guo did not have time to react. With the force of his slap, she fell heavily to the ground.
She only felt that half of her face was numb, and her ears were constantly ringing. In front of her eyes, there were overlapping shadows. For a moment, it was pitch black. From this, one could imagine how much force Song Qishan had used.
Song Guo thought that if she did not have some value, he might have just beaten her to death.
It was just that since she was young, this level of beating and scolding had happened too many times, and she was already used to it. She did not even know how to say it hurt anymore. The more he attacked, the more she gritted her teeth and endured it, using this kind of clumsy method that others looked like.. There were even some stupid ways to resist his violence.
Although it was useless, it also represented her attitude.
"Song Guo, do you still have any sense of shame as a woman How many times have I told you Don't continue to get along with Lin Nancheng. With his current financial strength, there's no way he can pull the song family out of the abyss of suffering, yet you refuse to listen."
He looked at Song Guo, who had quietly climbed up from the ground, and his eyes were already occupied by the flames of anger "If you had listened to me from the beginning and married the blind date I arranged for you, the song family might have already gotten out of the financial crisis and been on the right track, but you just had to go against me? "
"Song Guo, tell me? What exactly are your intentions? Are you happy that the song family has collapsed? "
Song Guo reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of her lips. Her pair of starry Eyes Stared unblinkingly at Song Qishan, who was standing against the light. Her voice was still low and gentle, without the slightest ripple "CEO Song, May I ask what identity do you have to say these words to me? Father, or a successful businessman who only wants to sell his daughter in exchange for the company? "
She smiled at him and continued speaking "I think I've already made it very clear to you that I don't want to get married yet. As for the 100 million, I'll think of a way to give it to you. However, the premise is that you must arrange for me to meet my grandparents as soon as possible and allow me to take them away. As for the rest, we can talk about it slowly. "
"But clearly, you don't intend to give up the bargaining chip to threaten me, and you also want to squeeze all my blood and sweat. President Song, business is business, and favors are favors. Although I'm your woman, I'm more like a commodity that you can trade with. Since I'm a commodity, then... ... You can't just take advantage of me empty-handed!"
Song Qishan had never known that Song Guo, who had been meekly accepting all these years, actually had such a good eloquence.
He had always thought that she was like her dead mother, a soft persimmon that could be easily squashed by others. He had not expected her to be a thorny rose. She looked pleasing to the eye, but in reality, she was deeply hidden. In fact, she could even stimulate the most sensitive nerves of people in an invisible way It could even stimulate the most sensitive nerves of people.
Song Qishan closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he had already calmed down quite a bit. "Okay, I know that it's not right for me to attack you, but you can't describe our father-daughter relationship like that... "
As he spoke, he was about to reach out and touch her shoulder, but she reflexively dodged him.
At this moment, Song Guo was like a little beast that had suffered too much shock. Her entire body was covered in thorns, and it was as if just touching her would cause blood to drip out.
Seeing her reaction, Song Qishan retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
He had been blinded by anger just now and did not control the strength in his hand at all. This time, his attack was more serious than before, and her fear erupted into the most serious form of resistance.
"Guo Guo, dad didn't mean it. I didn't think I would hit you so hard. Please forgive me... "
"forgive me? "
Song Guo interrupted him almost with a smile. "May I ask, President Song, what right do you have to ask me for forgiveness? "
"My mother is lying in a hospital bed on the verge of death, but you are overseas accompanying young women shopping, buying bags, and watching the UEFA Europa League. I just finished my college entrance exam, and you sent me to a hotel to sleep with an old man who is older than you in exchange for your business success. I drank too much and accidentally had sex with Lin Nancheng, but no one dared to say it. They found out that I was pregnant and didn't dare to abort it. Do you know why? "
There were tears in Song Guo's eyes, but she was still smiling stubbornly. She even raised her chin slightly "because I felt that I had sex with Lin Nancheng and even became pregnant with his child. It was my luck. I insisted on hiding abroad and secretly gave birth to Xin Qiao. Then, I asked Lin Yan to let Qiao Man Adopt Xin Qiao. "
"Qiao family, JI family, Lin family, and Fu family, these four unbridled surnames in Lin city represent power and wealth. Even if you found out something, you wouldn't dare to do anything. You could only watch helplessly. I just want to see you depressed, defeated, and helpless. "
When he said this, Song Qishan's expression had already become very ugly. If he hadn't seen the shocking five palm prints on her face, he might have continued to attack. But his many years of experience in the business world had taught him not to act rashly At least for this one second, he had to hold it in.
Song Guo saw his hands hanging by his side, slowly clenching into fists. She smiled again, and her voice became even more soft and pleasant "Song Qishan, in my eyes, you are nothing. Your Life is a joke, and you are a complete trash, a loser with no moral bottom line, a b * Stard who can push his women and children into the fire pit... ... Ah!"
Before Song Guo could finish her sentence, she was slapped by Song Qishan again, sending her flying a few meters away and landing heavily on the floor. The sound was so loud that it even scared Song Qishan.
However, he stood where he was and did not move. Instead, he said stiffly, "Song Guo, I have nurtured you for so many years, not so that you can marry that penniless Lin Nancheng when the song family is in danger. "
After saying that, he sighed deeply and continued "Guo Guo, listen to your father. A man like Lin Nancheng doesn't lack women by his side. He will be with you only for a moment. Don't be stupid, and don't believe what men say. ''
His sharp and deep eyes observed Song Guo, who still couldn't get up from the ground after a long time. Then, he said, "think about it. What is the most important thing in this society? "
"money, money is the most important thing. "
"I promise you that as long as you are willing to marry the blind date that I arranged for you, I will bring GRANDPA and grandma to your side to live a comfortable life. I will even give you a sum of money to keep you far away from Lin Cheng and the song family. What do you think? " "Hmm? "
Song Guo's face became extremely red and swollen. Her original appearance could no longer be seen.
She struggled to get up from the ground and shook her head violently. However, there were still blurry lights and shadows in front of her, so she could not see the expression on Song Qishan's face clearly.
However, at this moment, she was thinking that it was better if she could not see clearly. If she could see clearly, her heart would hurt even more.
She stretched out her hand to support herself against the wall before she managed to stand firmly. However, she did not show any signs of begging for mercy or admitting defeat. She even continued to open her mouth to stimulate his sensitive nerves, causing him to be unable to control his emotions as he wished.
There were even a few moments when he really wanted to continue punching and kicking her, but he resisted it with all his might.
She looked at the corner of his mouth that was twitching, and then at the comical look that he was trying his best to endure, and continued to speak "If you had told me these words a few years ago, I might have foolishly looked forward to it and believed a little bit, but now... I'm sorry, it's very difficult for me to believe in a beast father who would punch and kick his own daughter. "
"Of course, I won't hide it from you. I won't agree to any of your conditions. I want to marry Lin Nancheng, regardless of whether you agree or not. "
She was the type of person who would encounter the weak and encounter the strong. If others treated her well, she would treat them better. If others treated her badly, she would also return the favor.
People classified her personality as daring, loving, and hating. However, she felt that these four words could not accurately describe her personality. She felt that it was more like her to adapt to the situation.
Song Qishan took a step forward, but in the end, he did not do anything. Instead, he said in a low voice, "Guoguo, do you know that you are challenging my patience and bottom line? "
"Why? Are you trying to use GRANDPA and grandma to threaten me again? Aren't you afraid that I will find Lin Nancheng and let him add more snow to the already difficult Song Corporation? " She smiled Then, she said lightly, "you should know that this is not a difficult thing for him. "
Lin Nancheng, Ji Yunshen, and Fu Qingshan. These three names could be said to be the symbols of power and wealth in Lin city. Provoking them was equivalent to provoking an endless disaster.
No one would be stupid enough to try to provoke them to create trouble for themselves, and Song Qishan was no exception.
When he heard Song Guo's words, he frowned slightly and said faintly, "Guoguo, although dad is old, he's not confused yet. Lin Nancheng just had such a good opportunity. As long as he pulled you along, even if his family objected, they wouldn't stop him. However, you didn't appear with him. I dare to guess that the two of you broke up after having sex...
"Or maybe you broke up with him because you didn't want to hold him back. "
Song Guo's face turned ugly, and the smile returned to Song Qishan's face.
He moved closer to Song Guo, and his voice was low "He was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, and he has been looking down on all living things since he was young. I don't think he has ever been rejected by a woman in public or dumped in public. By doing this, you have cut off all escape routes between you and him. In other words, you don't have Lin Nancheng as your backer, so you can only listen to me, or else... ". ... ..
Song Qishan lowered his voice a little. In the overly quiet high-class suite, it was particularly eerie, and it made people shudder.
"I can only let you say goodbye to your grandparents... forever. "
Song Qishan was a person without feelings. This could be seen from the fact that he could mercilessly give her to any man who could give him money.
Moreover, he had never been a long-term lover.
He had had countless women in his life, but he had never seen him dote on any woman for more than three years.
In his eyes and heart, there was only himself. Yes, he was a very cold, very selfish, cold-blooded, and even unreasonable person.
In his dictionary, there was no such thing as pity, only worth or not worth it.
Probably those who could create wealth for him were all people worth paying for. Of course, those who could not create wealth for him were all useless people, and he would not even glance at them.
Should he thank God for giving her a beautiful face, so that she would at least have some value to use, so that he would always pay for the treatment of his seriously ill grandparents, and even send them to the best nursing home Let them spend their old age there peacefully.
It was as if other than not being able to see her often, everything was fine. It couldn't be any more perfect.
Song Qishan's words made her face turn Pale instantly. Her pair of crystal clear eyes instantly stirred up countless ripples. "Song Qishan, if you dare to touch grandfather and grandmother, I dare to make the song clan disappear from Lin city. "
Song Qishan smiled. "Alright, then we'll wait and see, Guoguo. "
After saying that, he turned around and left without saying anything.
Song Guo was frightened by his somewhat crazy gaze before he left. She quickly patted her chest and wanted to chase after him, but she felt that it was useless.
The only person who could help her now was Lin Nancheng.
However, she had already explicitly rejected him and pushed him away with her own hands. She had offended him, so how could she ask him to make up with her and ask him to help her now?
It was probably because Song Qishan had predicted this that he said it so bluntly.
Other than these, she was more worried about the safety of her grandparents.
She really should have endured it. She had endured it for so many years, so how could she not endure it at this juncture?
She stretched out her hand and patted her head, beginning to complain about her recklessness.
The night was getting darker outside. The lights of all colors mixed with the darkness of the night reflected in through the gaps of the curtains, casting her back onto the ground, dragging it out for a long time.
Her heart was filled with mixed feelings, and it did not calm down for a very, very long time.
...
Song Guo was in a bad mood, and she could not find a suitable person to vent, so she went straight to the bar.
She did not know if it was a coincidence or if Lin city was too small. It was so small that with just a turn of her body, she could meet someone she never wanted to meet again, such as her ex-boyfriend, whom she had a crush on for a long time.
She went upstairs to avoid them, but she accidentally bumped into Lu Xiaoxiao and Gu Li.
She had heard a little about Gu Xichen and Lu Xiaoxiao, but she didn't expect Gu Li to like Lu Xiaoxiao so much. She thought that Gu Li would value his brother, whom he had relied on since they were young, more than anything else He would naturally mind and be jealous of the women who appeared by his brother's side.
However, Gu Li didn't care at all. He even treated Lu Xiaoxiao as his sister and told her all his troubles.
When she bumped into them, she couldn't help but hear their conversation, which was the entanglement between Gu Li and Fu Yihuai.
Obviously, when she saw them, they also saw her.
Seeing that she was holding a bottle of wine in her hand, Gu Li said loudly to Lu Xiaoxiao, "sister Xiaoxiao, I want to drink too. Let's drink together with sister Guoguo. "
Ever since Lin Yan was hospitalized, the three of them had met each other. Gu Li had always called Lu Xiaoxiao sister Xiaoxiao and called her sister Guoguo. She was already used to it, so when she heard her call her sister Guoguo, she didn't show any surprise or other expressions Instead, she calmly nodded and said, "okay. ".
Lu Xiaoxiao's head was already hurting from being pestered by Gu Li. Since Song Guo was willing to go with them, she naturally would not refuse. In that case, Gu Li would not only pester her with questions. She could not wait to be happy, so she nodded happily.
Sure enough, after she nodded, Gu Li let go of her and turned to Hug Song Guo's arm.
Gu Li was, after all, an eighteen-year-old girl. He could not hide his worries, so he quickly told Song Guo about the troubles that he had already told Lu Xiaoxiao.
Song Guo's emotions were also in a mess. When she heard the little girl's troubles, she only patted her shoulder and said in a low voice, "Xiao Li, if you really don't like him, then reject him and stay far away from him. But if you like him, but you can't bring yourself to lower your head because of the previous unhappiness, then sister Guo Guo will have to persuade you. "
Gu Li nodded heavily after hearing that. "Say it, sister Guo Guo, I'm listening. "
Lu Xiaoxiao sat on the Sofa opposite them and listened to the conversation between the two in silence. Before she could conclude anything, the phone in her pocket vibrated.
She frowned and took out the phone from her pocket.
When she saw the name displayed on the screen of the phone, she quickly glanced at the two people opposite her. Seeing that they did not look at her, she quickly got up and walked out.
When she reached the door, she swiped the answer button. Before she could say anything, an unhappy male voice came from the other side, "where are you? Why is there such noisy music? "
"I... I'm at the bar. "
Gu Xichen heard her words and leaned over to flick the cigarette ash. After a long while, he said again, "Gu Li is with you? "
She thought that the reason why he was suddenly angry was because she had brought Gu Li to the bar, so she quickly said in a low voice, "yes, we're together. We met Song Guo just now. She's chatting with Song Guo in the private room right now, so she didn't drink. "
Gu Xichen turned the swivel chair and raised the big hand that was hanging on the table. He slowly rubbed the space between his eyebrows. "Come here. "
"Now? "
"Yes. "
Lu Xiaoxiao glanced in the direction of the private room and asked again, "what's the matter? Song Guo and Gu Li aren't in a good mood. I'm afraid that they'll drink too much later... "
"The most important thing for you now is to care about me. "
His words made her feel like she was needed, like he had fallen in love with her.
Of course, it could only be an illusion.
Lu Xiaoxiao sighed, "what about Song Guo and Gu Li? "
"whose woman is whose? "
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Xichen cut off the phone communication.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the phone that had been hung up. After a long while, she shook her head and said with a bitter smile, "I thought he missed me, but now it's obvious that he's overthinking things. He's probably still angry with Gu Li and Fu Yihuai, that's why he's like this. "
Gu Xichen had forbidden her from being with Gu Li since half a month ago.
Firstly, he was afraid that she would become more and more dependent on her, and in the end, she wouldn't listen to anyone.
Secondly, he had thrown a huge tantrum at Gu Li previously. Gu Li was angry and said that she would never talk to him again. He had also said that he would never care about her again, so the two of them were in a deadlock.
Since he didn't care about her anymore, she shouldn't care about Gu Li anymore.
But now it was obvious that they had sandwiched her in the middle, saying that they wouldn't care about each other anymore, and that they wouldn't care about each other anymore. They couldn't help but secretly care about each other, and she, of course, became the mouthpiece between the two of them, as well as the lubricant.
Lu Xiaoxiao put her phone back into her pocket, waved goodbye to the two people in the private room, and left the bar in a hurry.
About half an hour later, the taxi steadily stopped at the Xichen building.
She paid the taxi fare and walked into the building in her ten-centimeter high heels.
The security guard at the door saw someone coming over, so he reached out to stop her. She explained, but the security guard didn't let her pass. She could only call Gu Xichen and ask him to come down personally to pick her up.
Gu Xichen received her call, but he did not have any special emotions. He only said that he understood and hung up.
The night wind was very cold, and she was dressed a little less. Standing at the entrance of the building, she only felt a chill. For a moment or two, she even wanted to turn around and leave, but she also knew that she was not qualified to leave just like that. After all, she was the woman that he had to call whenever he wanted Back then, he had helped her. This was what they had agreed on a long time ago.
It could not be changed, and it would not change.
Standing in the night wind, Gu Xichen waited for nearly five minutes before he walked out of the CEO's private elevator. He walked towards her, who had always been steady and powerful.
She shrank her shoulders and waited. When he approached, the security guard let her go and apologized to her repeatedly.
She shook her head and said that it was okay. Then, she trotted to Gu Xichen's side.
He glanced at the petite woman beside him. Seeing that she was shrinking her shoulders and looking very cold, he whispered a word of trouble. Then, he took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders.
In the next second, his body temperature surrounded her and drove away all the coldness on her body.
She did not refuse and even enjoyed the warmth brought by his body temperature.
If one observed carefully, her expression was very greedy.
Gu Xichen walked with both hands in his pockets until he reached the CEO's private elevator, but he did not hear any footsteps behind him. He frowned and turned around, only to see that the woman did not continue walking more than ten meters behind him.
The lights were a little dim. He glanced at her and asked in a low voice, "what's wrong? "
Lu Xiaoxiao had just left in a hurry. Her heel had slipped on the marble floor and her ankle had accidentally twisted. She did not dare to leave now, much less move. She could only speak softly "Um... I'm suddenly a little tired. You can go up first. I'll go look for you right away. "
Gu Xichen clearly did not believe her words. He asked again, "what's wrong with your foot? "
Lu Xiaoxiao answered honestly until she could not hide it from him. "I accidentally sprained my ankle just now. I need to get used to it before I leave. You can go first. Don't worry about me. "
Gu Xichen frowned again. This time, he did not say anything but walked straight towards her.
Lu Xiaoxiao thought that he was going to be angry and quickly explained, "the marble floor was too slippery. I was in a hurry to rush over just now and I sprained myself. also... your footsteps were a little too big. In order to keep up with your footsteps, I accidentally sprained myself again, so... "
"So, this matter is not your fault. It's my fault, isn't it? "
Gu Xichen's words made her shake her head desperately. "How can it be your fault? It's my fault! "
These two flattering words from Lu Xiaoxiao did not make Gu Xichen relax. Instead, he frowned even more. "Lu Xiaoxiao, can you smile more obsequiously? "
"I'm not smiling obsequiously. I'm really smiling from the bottom of my heart. "
Her words successfully made him laugh. "If you're smiling from the bottom of your heart, then doesn't my smile now come from the depths of my soul? "
Lu Xiaoxiao raised her head to look at his well-defined handsome face. There was a faint smile on his face, but that smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes at all. If this smile came from the depths of her soul, then her smile just now.. Indeed, it did not seem to come from the depths of his heart at all.
She did not speak anymore, or perhaps there was nothing left to say.
Gu Xichen had this kind of magic. He could open a topic at any time, and of course, he could also end a topic at any time.
Seeing that she did not speak anymore, Gu Xichen did not say anything more. Instead, he directly bent down and hugged her in his arms.
Gu Xichen's action was a little sudden, so she was not prepared at all. She only had time to let out a cry before she firmly fell into his arms.
He was very tall. The scenery in his arms was completely different from usual.
Or perhaps, wherever he was, all the scenery would automatically become different.
When she reached the elevator door, she gently patted his shoulder. "I suddenly feel less pain. Put me down. If I run into your employees, it won't be good! "
Gu Xichen did not speak and continued to do as he was told.
"Gu Xichen... "
She called his name, but he did not respond. She called again. This time, he glanced over and said in a low voice, "I'm not deaf. I heard what you said. Stay there obediently and don't move. I don't have that much patience. "
Gu Xichen's facial features were very high-class. He was completely unfamiliar with those movie stars who appeared on the big screen.
Moreover, he had experienced the ups and downs of the business world over the years. It was difficult to tell that he was an orphan that Gu Feng had adopted from the orphanage. There seemed to be a sense of nobility in his bones. When she was with him, her eyes could only see him And the whole world behind him became a background that complemented him.
She pursed her Red Lips. Seeing that his face was as gloomy as water, she didn't continue. She carefully began to change the topic. "You, you called me here so late. Is there... anything? "
"Why can't I call you if there's nothing? "
Lu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. "Gu Xichen, can you stop being so weird and speak properly? "
"Then can you stop asking those stupid questions and make me angry? "
"Yes, I've always been so stupid and stupid. It's not like you don't know. Put me down and I can leave. "
