Chapter 25
Chen Mubai seemed not satisfied with her silence, and looked narrow-minded, "In my eyes, Gu Jiusi never disdains to pretend to be a simple good person. Tell me, you must have thought about it."
Gu Jiusi admitted that she had indeed thought about it, and she had thought about it more than once.
"I will go to Chen Mingmo and tell him about Lisheng Group. In exchange, he will agree to my request."
Chen Mubai nodded first with a compliment, then looked puzzled, "In fact, in comparison, this method is simpler and faster. Why don't you go to Chen Mingmo directly? Do you don't want to offend me and be afraid that I will take revenge on you, or do you really want to hide it for me? Or do you think the person you are looking for is not important enough to be worth exchanging for you?"
Gu Jiusi was in a complicated mood, but her face felt relaxed, "What do you think of Mr. Mu? Which one is it?"
"I think..." Chen Mubai paused, "Is it the first type?"
Gu Jiusi smiled and looked at Chen Mubai's eyes circulating, "When it was on the ice of the royal palace garden that snowy night, Mr. Mu sold this to me as a favor. Isn't it for my use in the future? Are you still expecting me to keep a secret for you?"
Chen Mubai curled his lips, Gu Jiusi looked at him, and a trace of unaware tension flashed in his eyes.
It took me a long time to see Chen Mubai's thin lips lightly opened and spit out a few words, "I haven't expected it."
Gu Jiusi sighed with a relaxed look, "Since I haven't expected it, how could I be afraid of offending you?"
Chen Mubai raised his eyebrows and asked, "That's the third type?"
Gu Jiusi shook his head and smiled indifferently, "It's the first type. Although you told me this on your own initiative, Mr. Mu has always been moody and elusive in doing things. He may not be able to make him angry and come to take revenge on me. It's better to do less than more. I still like a safe approach."
Chen Mubai glanced at her sideways, "Are you praising me again?"
Gu Jiusi twitched the corner of her mouth, "That's right."
Chen Mubai continued to ask, "Can I ask you, when did you start calculating me?"
Gu Jiusi cooperated and confessed very well, "After returning from Chen Muzhao, maybe I accidentally said something that made him think that Chen Mingmo asked me to find him. I think this is a good opportunity."
"It's indeed a good opportunity," Chen Mubai suddenly changed his voice, "But, I hate others most in my life to coerce me to plot against me. Don't you know?"
Gu Jiusi was speechless, but she knew, but there was nothing she could do.
After a while, Chen Mubai spoke again, "But this time I can make an exception for you."
Gu Jiusi looked up at him with hope on his face, "Then did you agree?"
Chen Mubai looked at her, and his eyes were quiet and deep, and he slowly spoke, "I agreed."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole villa fell into darkness.
Gu Jiusi was shocked and subconsciously wanted to grab something. When he touched a solid and warm object, he immediately grabbed it tightly.
The solid and warm object moved quickly and quietly let her grasp it.
Chen Mubai's teasing voice soon came from his ears, "Look, I said I couldn't agree. I'm retribution, it's dark."
Gu Jiusi was speechless, "Young Master Mu cannot keep your word."
Chen Mubai snorted coldly, "I didn't know who it was, but I said I was moody."
Gu Jiusi pulled the corner of her mouth and kept silent. The knock on the door quickly rescued her.
The voice of the visitor from outside the door was heard, "Mr. Chen, the snow is too heavy and the wire is broken. I'll go find the candle, please wait a moment."
The footsteps gradually moved away, and both of them stood there without moving.
"fine."
In the darkness, Chen Mubai's mindless words made Gu Jiusi confused, "What's the best?"
Chen Mubai's voice sounded again, and no emotion could be heard in the darkness. "Fortunately, we are just a deal, and I'm really afraid that you just did it for me."
After a while, Gu Jiusi lowered his head and smiled in a complicated expression, "Mr. Mu is thinking too much."
Chen Mubai also had a smile in his voice, "That's the best. If you say that, I'll feel relieved."
One night, the two of them had their own tests, and no one dared to bow their heads first and no one dared to tell the truth. What happened today made them regret and be grateful in the future.
Soon someone knocked in with a candle and knocked in, "Mr. Chen, the food is ready, where are you going to eat."
Chen Mubai waved his hand, "I won't eat anymore, I'm in a mood for being in a dark and indifferent, I'm going to sleep."
Then Chen Mubai signaled Gu Jiusi, who was a little stiff, to look at his arm and said with a blank expression, "Let go."
Gu Jiusi realized this and immediately let go, looking around with a little embarrassed look.
"I said..." Chen Mubai looked at his arm with disgust, "Did you not wash your hands after you came back from outside?"
Gu Jiusi realized that Chen Mubai's cleanliness mode had been turned on, so she turned around and left, and said a little scoundrel, "Yes, it's not washed. If Mr. Mu really can't stand it, just chop his arm! He took the knife in the kitchen."
This time it was Chen Mubai's turn to twitch the corners of his mouth. He raised his voice and called Gu Jiusi, "Go together tomorrow morning."
Gu Jiusi turned around and looked puzzled, "Where are you going?"
Chen Mubai folded his sleeves down and replied slowly, "Xiaokangzi asked you three times a day when you would go back. If you don't go back, he will be overwhelmed. After feeding so much food, it will be overwhelming if you run out."
Gu Jiusi turned around and lowered her head and went upstairs with a smile.
The next morning, the two left the door early. The snowy road was slippery. It was already more than an hour away and the two of them took a journey for a whole morning before returning to the city.
Gu Jiusi didn't expect that someone came to her when she came back. She answered the phone and hurried out.
In the cafe, Gu Jiusi sighed in her heart as she looked at the photos in her hand. These things really waste her feelings. She thought Chen Mubai was doing what she was doing.
The new reporter from a gossip magazine opposite was proud, "You said, what will happen if these photos are in the newspaper or Mr. Chen sees them?"
Gu Jiusi took a sip of coffee before he spoke calmly, "The consequence is... I probably will never see you in this world again."
He is really a newcomer. He just wants to take a picture of something that others have to hide when they see it. He dares to lick his face and threaten to ask for money?
A reporter looked stunned, "What do you mean?"
Gu Jiusi couldn't bear to hint at him, "It means... I didn't see anything today, and you didn't take any photos."
A reporter sneered, "It seems that Miss Jiu doesn't plan to pay the money anymore, so I can only take it back to the agency to show it to the editor-in-chief."
Gu Jiusi shook his head with a pity, "You can do whatever you want."
A reporter slammed the door angrily and left. Gu Jiusi stood up slowly and prepared to go back. Before he got home, he received a call from the editor-in-chief of the magazine. He nodded and admitted his mistake, and said that he had fired the reporter and would never hire him.
Gu Jiusi hung up the phone and heard Chen Jingkang ask her to look at the roadside.
Gu Jiusi didn't expect to see Meng Lai again. In this situation, she was walking slowly on the street with injuries on her face and her walking posture was very stiff.
Chen Jingkang slowed down his car, "Do you want to take her for a ride?"
Gu Jiusi shook his head and signaled him to leave quickly, "Forget it, she won't want to see us."
It seems that Chen Mingmo still knew about Meng Lai and Chen Mubai. How could he allow such a thing to happen? He would not touch his son, but others were not so lucky. But Gu Jiusi didn't expect that he would hit her, and I wonder if it was Chen Mingmo's own hands.
Duan Jingxi had a meeting for a day. When he returned to the office, it was already dark. He sat in the sofa exhausted, pulled his tie and unbuttoned his clothes and breathed a sigh of relief. The secretary handed him both cell phones.
Duan Jingxi took it and started to look at the records on his work phone. After the secretary finished talking about the person who had called and what he wanted to communicate, he signaled Duan Jingxi to go and see his private phone. "Mrs. Shu made two calls to you and asked you to call her back after the call."
Duan Jingxi nodded and started dialing. The secretary quitted very sensible.
"Hey, sister." Duan Jingxi realized that her voice was hoarse as soon as she spoke.
Duan Jingxi is the youngest son of the Duan family, and Duan Jingzhen is the eldest sister. The two have always had a good relationship. She immediately indulged in a word, "Why are your voice hoarse? I know you are busy with work, but you should also be careful of your health. Don't think you are young and don't take it seriously."
Duan Jingxi cleared her throat, "Well, I understand, are you having something to do with me?"
Duan Jingzhen grew up in a diplomatic family, and his behavior and etiquette were beyond the reach of no fault. Since marrying into the Shu family, he has become more and more peaceful and calm. He has always been a model for various major families to educate women. Duan Jingxi knew that she must have something to ask him, otherwise she would not have called two calls, and he probably had guessed what she wanted to say.
Sure enough, Duan Jingzhen laughed very lightly, "It's not a big deal. Shu Hua is considered to have grown up when you watch her. She is old now, and I can't listen to your brother-in-law and I. Fortunately, she still listens to your uncle's words. Please look at her more."
Duan Jingxi didn't respond after hearing this, leaned into the sofa and closed her eyes and remained silent. Duan Jingzhen waited quietly. Although her younger brother was much younger than her, she was the successor chosen by her father after all. She taught her step by step and had a lot of experience over the years. She could not imagine her knowledge and thoughts.
After a long time, Duan Jingxi spoke softly, but said another thing, "I came from home just before the meeting today. Dad and I talked to me for a long time."
Duan Jingzhen waited for a long time without any movement and knew his attitude. He hesitated before explaining, as if he was quite embarrassed. "The Shu family has been increasingly excluded in the past two years. Your brother-in-law has become older. Since he fell a few years ago, he has been in a slump. Now it's just a good thing. We have nothing to do at this age, but Shu Mo and Shu Qi still have a long way to go. Parents must consider their children. Among young people who are about the same age as Shu Hua, Chen Mubai is considered to be the best. For Shu Hua, Chen Mubai is a good choice."
Duan Jingxi sat in the dark office, his voice was not warm. He didn't see the friendship between his relatives just now, and seemed to have returned to the negotiating table, with official alienation. "No matter whether Chen Mubai is a good choice, it's not unclear what kind of place the Chen family is. Will Shu Hua marry into the Chen family be a good choice? Since you know that the Shu family has begun to go downhill, you should understand what the purpose of Chen Mingmo and the Shu family are to marry."
Duan Jingzhen's voice suddenly became a little majestic, "Shu Hua, I hung up the phone. Adults are not allowed to eavesdrop on their words. There is no rule!"
Shu Hua seemed to be startled, exclaimed, and hung up the phone angrily.
