Chapter 22 The duel between two men

The servant hurriedly took the spoon and brought it to him, cleaned up the broken spoon on the ground. Li Haonan's eyes moved away from Gu Xiaobei and stood up. The chair was ringing harshly. He took the phone to talk outside. Gu Xiaobei looked at him from the look that the phone was related to him.

Seeing Li Haonan put down the phone, Gu Xiaobei went upstairs to change his clothes when he went out, and then walked outside. She hurriedly trotted to catch up with him, stopped him, and asked with a breath, "Is it He Zijun, is He Zijun back?"

Li Haonan looked at her coldly for a while, smiled, "Are you quite smart? Yes, it's He Zijun who is back."

"Are you going to see him? How do you plan to deal with him?" Gu Xiaobei immediately became disorganized whenever He Zijun mentioned.

Li Haonan looked at Gu Xiaobei, her side face facing the sun. At this time, she looked extremely anxious because of worry and concern. A little light in her eyes, which were originally bigger than ordinary people, flashed in her eyes, which were as ink as vaguely painted. The deep friendship revealed inadvertently made Li Haonan's heart rise and fall. His face was quiet, his lips were silent, and his hands slowly clenched into fists.

Gu Xiaobei looked at Li Haonan who was extremely silent afterwards. Seeing that his expression had not changed, but his whole body had begun to exude anger, she immediately became alert. Although she was afraid, she was unwilling to lose He Zijun's news like this. She was weak and powerless. She just looked at him, staring at her eyes, not daring to say anything, and begging silently.

Li Haonan looked at Gu Xiaobei in front of him. Maybe it was because of morning sickness in the past two days, or because of other reasons, his face was very bad, and he had thick dark circles, and he looked pitiful. He knew that if he didn't let her know the result of the matter, she would always be like this, anxious and uneasy, and even sleeping.

"Why, I'm afraid I'll kill him! Since I'm worried, let you watch it with your own eyes!" Li Haonan took the lead in looking into the car, and Gu Xiaobei hurriedly followed behind.

The outside world is still sunny, the sky is always clean and blue, the sky is bustling city under the sky, and the temptation of being indulgent and rich everywhere.

When he arrived at Li Haonan's company, he placed Gu Xiaobei in a room with ink-colored glass. From this room, he could clearly see everything outside and clearly hear the sound of talking outside, but the people outside could not see her.

Gu Xiaobei knew Li Haonan's intention to place him here, so he arranged himself here, watching him and He Zijun. In fact, he was the master of this scene. He was watching her and He Zijun's good show, and he wanted her to be nervous here.

She saw the luxurious and elegant decoration in the outside room, while Li Haonan just sat on the sofa, stretched his legs, and lit a cigarette leisurely, looking very comfortable. Gu Xiaobei had seen his appearance countless times. When he faced the media, when he controlled the situation, he was like this, like a victorious general, always despising all enemies.

He Zijun arrived three minutes later. Looking at the familiar face of missing each other day and night, Gu Xiaobei's heartbeat was beating. He Zijun's always-shining face looked haggard. Looking at Li Haonan, he just nodded politely. In fact, they had met before, and they were not familiar with each other, but they were also considered to be aware of each other. The relationship was not harmonious, but they were not as tense as they are now.

He Zijun left because the company forced him to leave. After many years of experience, he also knew that there was no better way to solve this problem except leaving.

But he didn't expect the situation to develop so out of control. Shi Lei would actually come to Gu Xiaobei, and Gu Xiaobei would go to hold that damn press conference, and he didn't expect to directly attract the wolf!

Everything is like an unpredictable butterfly effect.

He was fine now. Li Haonan just waved his hand and immediately settled the uproar. But what about Gu Xiaobei? He was once again in the mouth of a tiger! He regretted it and blamed countless times. If he had chosen to stay, what would happen if he was defeated? It was all his fault. He shouldn't have left her easily and let her fall into the devil's claws again.

He Zijun frowned, restrained his worries and impatience, and said to Li Haonan earnestly: "Mr. Li, thank you for helping Xiaobei at the press conference. I know she lives with you now, and I want to pick her up."

Li Haonan sat there, looking at He Zijun with his eyes that penetrated the hearts. Even though he deliberately restrained his sharpness, he still emitted a sharp light like an eagle, arrogant and arrogant. He didn't even move his eyebrows, "You don't need to say thank you for the matter at the press conference. I'm helping my child's mother, how can I say thank you with you? Besides, this is Xiaobei's home, where do you want to pick her up?" His voice was not emotional or angry, and he made a statement in this way, as if he was calmly dealing with a business difficulty or contract problem.

He Zijun listened to Li Haonan's calm tone and knew that he wanted to take preconceptions and divided Gu Xiaobei under his sphere of influence. The idea was probably to make him give up automatically. Unconsciously, he felt a little angry, "Mr. Li, you should know that the Xiaobei you took home was not the lover Gu Qingbei you wanted to find. Haven't you found Gu Qingbei? If you have any grudges with the Gu family, you can go and resolve them with her, but Xiaobei is not a member of the Gu family, so you can't implicate her!"

Li Haonan just said coldly: "Mr. He, your news is still very well-informed. I found Gu Qingbei, but I think there is one thing you know. It was not me who involved Gu Xiaobei in this matter, but she walked into this matter by herself. At the beginning, she volunteered to follow her father and took the initiative to come to my house to beg me to accept her as her lover."

He Zijun felt his blood and blood surged, but he still suppressed it. He moved his eyebrows and slowly walked forward, exhaling a gentle breath, and then spoke word by word: "Mr. Li, even if Xiaobei was going to beg you with his father, it was to save the Gu family's business and save her father's life. Now, the Gu family's business has also been broken and her father has disappeared, so you should let Xiaobei go!"

"The Gu family's business is over, and her father's life is gone, but what does it have to do with me? Gu Changhe died in a car accident, not by me. I only blame him for his short life. Gu Changhe signed a contract with me, he died, but he still has to do things according to the contract." Li Haonan's people were as calm as water, just like his voice.

"But Xiaobei signed the contract with Gu Qingbei's name!" He Zijun's eyes flashed like a flash of cold lightning, not knowing whether it was because of dissatisfaction or anger.

Li Haonan laughed shortly, his voice was low and full of mockery, "It seems that your relationship is really full of words. She even told you this detail. Maybe you didn't see the contract. The contract says that the daughter of the Gu family is used to pay off the debt. Gu Xiaobei is also the daughter of the Gu family!"

"Mr. Li, Gu Xiaobei cannot be regarded as the daughter of the Gu family at all."

"How do you say this?" Li Haonan's indifferent attitude and the information revealed in his words seemed to give He Zijun a glimmer of hope.

He Zijun took a few steps forward in a deep mood, and his knee hit the corner of the coffee table, which made him shrink for a while, but he didn't care. He looked at Li Haonan anxiously, "Mr. Li, you should know that Xiaobei was sent to Gu Changhe as soon as he was born. Gu Changhe had never done anything for her except giving birth to her, and she had never enjoyed any material life that Gu Changhe provided for her, and he had no spiritual concern.

In fact, it is better to have such a father than not. Xiaobei has not had the care and care of his relatives since he was a child. For a child, the painful childhood experiences will never be erased. She was lonely and helpless when she was a child, as pitiful as a little orphan.

You know, there is no secret in that kind of town, and it is a place where rumors are dense. Because she has no origin, people will imagine all kinds of unbearable life experiences. She has been the topic of conversation for adults after dinner in the town since she was a child and the object of making fun of the children.

When she was walking on the road, someone would poke him and her bones behind her back: "Look, it's him and she, do you know his mother? Her mother is..."

The voice was not high, but it was enough for people around her to hear it, including Xiaobei. In this cold and cold words, she knew since she was a child. They looked at her with contempt and mocked her. No matter how hard she tried, those terrible rumors followed her like shadows and would never be willing to let her go.

But Xiaobei was happy and strong. Even if she grew up in the environment, she still grew up thriving. She was like the simplest crystal. No matter from which angle she looked at her, she could directly find her bottom. She was kind-hearted and pure and passionate about life. It seemed that all the sufferings and misfortunes that she had experienced would slowly end in front of her and slowly dissipate, leaving behind hope and fragrance like clouds above her head.

She could have been growing up happily and strongly like this, but her unscrupulous father refused to let her go. He asked her to replace her sister and changed all her life.

Because she had no care from her parents since she was a child, she longed for the warmth of her family and wanted to gain her father's love for her, so she came here stupidly after listening to her father's words.

But you also know that his father's affairs have nothing to do with Gu Xiaobei, and the grudges between your two families have nothing to do with Gu Xiaobei. It is normal for you to hate his father, but what is wrong with her?

Mr. Li, Xiaobei was young and ignorant. After being encouraged by her father, he came here to get involved in this matter. So please ask Mr. Li Haonan to give up his hands and let Xiaobei leave with me!"

Gu Xiaobei looked at He Zijun through the glass and felt tears falling out.
