As for Chen, from time to time over the years, Chen Jiawen would invite her to dinner, so she also listened to what he said. Chen's business was still the same as before.

Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen were abroad, and they seemed to have no intention of coming back. They left everything to him, so Chen Jiawen was naturally under great pressure.

What's even more strange to her is that the communication between Aunt Chen and the two was cut off two years ago. She also asked Chen Jiawen what happened, but Chen Jiawen said that the same happened to him.

"I don't know if they are afraid that I will force them to come back. Sometimes they change their phone numbers and their residential addresses. Except for their accompanying housekeeper, sometimes they won't answer the calls I make."

This was what Chen Jiawen told him when he had dinner with him last time. Xia Lichen didn't worry about it anymore. Thinking about it, Aunt Chen and the others must have been the same as him over the years...

Regarding the evening entertainment, she originally thought that Gu Jingrui was not going to go, but who knew that he also went along with her.

In fact, she rarely went to socialize with Gu Yanrui on weekdays. She only followed when signing contracts with clients.

The atmosphere in the whole car was very strange at this time. For example, she and the two brothers were sitting in the car at the same time. However, they did not speak to each other and just looked out the window. It was quite embarrassing for me, an outsider, to be in the car.

of.

As Gu Jingrui told himself before, his relationship with Gu Yanrui was indeed not very good. Even in the company, the two of them rarely communicated except for work matters.

After finally arriving at the place, Xia Lichen suddenly felt relieved when he breathed in the fresh air outside. After all, such a Shura field was really weird.

Because he had sent a message to Chen Jiawen in advance, when he saw Xia Lichen, he just couldn't help but smile knowingly.

But on the side, Situ Feng, who had been promoted to live in the Situ family, looked at Xia Lichen with an unfriendly look.

He remembered everything about how this girl played tricks on him before.

As for the content of tonight's conversation, Xia Lichen originally thought it was just about business, but she never thought that it was actually about the acquisition of some of Chen's properties.

She could clearly see that when she raised her head and looked at Chen Jiawen in shock, the other person was also looking at her, as if he was saying sorry in his eyes.

It turns out that Chen...has already reached this kind of situation?

She didn't want to listen to this anymore, so she just found an excuse to go to the bathroom.

Feeling an unexplained headache, she quickly took out the medicine she usually took from her bag and popped one into her mouth.

Shaohua once told himself that Chen was the hard work of his grandfather and father, but after Shaohua disappeared, Chen seemed to have completely lost his life.

This can't be blamed on Chen Jiawen's poor management. She has seen everything he has done for the Chen family over the years. If I have to say it, maybe Uncle Chen and the others really don't want such a huge family business anymore...

…

"Would you blame me for the decision I made?"

Just when she walked out of the bathroom, she saw someone like Chen Jiawen waiting for her outside.

"No, this is not your fault. You have done enough for the Chen family. Maybe you can change your thinking and re-plan the remaining industries in the future."

In this world, many things are forced.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jiawen just shook his head feebly after hearing this, and the red bloodshot eyes were also clearly exposed.

"I'm not suitable for doing this. If Shaohua was still here, I just hope he wouldn't blame me."

At that time, he had to face the sudden death of his beloved cousin, while also learning to take over such a large company and live up to the expectations of his uncle and aunt.

But in the end, it turned out that my uncle and aunt had no intention of owning the company in the first place.

"He will definitely not blame you. On the contrary, I think he will even envy you."

For some reason, Xia Lichen sighed like this when looking at Chen Jiawen in front of him.

"Are you serious?"

"This is natural, think about it. Shaohua...is a being with no future, but you are different. No matter whether you are under great pressure or have a successful career, you all live a different version of yourself."

This is a life that the person she loves will never be able to experience. Sometimes when she goes through the school gate, she will always have this thought when she looks at the youthful teenagers.

"It would be great if I could trade my life for his."

Chen Jiawen understood what she meant, but after all, this was a past that neither of them could let go of.

"Don't say that. No matter how tired or hard it is, just give it a try."

Isn't she fulfilling her promise to him?

On the way back, Gu Jingrui seemed to notice that Xia Lichen was not in a good mood, so he stopped looking out the window and turned his gaze to her position.

"Be happy, at least the Chen family has not been completely defeated. Compared with ordinary people outside, their family's money will last more than ten lifetimes."

On Xia Lichen's way back, Gu Jingrui actually took the initiative to catch up with her and spoke to her comfortingly without saying anything.

"You're right, but I'm not used to you always caring about me so much."

She really had no other thoughts, but she felt very uncomfortable every time she was cared for like this by Gu Jingrui.

Gu Jingrui did not retreat because of this, but took the initiative to get closer to her.

"Look at these years, you have been alone, and I have been the same, so... you really can't consider me?"

Even after so many years, he couldn't actually explain what his attachment to this woman was, but his eyes could not help but fall on her.

Xia Lichen did not answer in a hurry, but raised his head high and looked at the starry sky above.

"This is too cruel to me, Gu Jingrui, you have liked Su Yarou, and the reason why you are still single is because of her, but I am different from you, I have never had you in my heart, and I no longer want to be with anyone.

, and it’s not me doing it for you.”

Not everything can be settled. Maybe I felt funny about Gu Jingrui's sudden proposal two years ago and how he asked me to marry him at all costs, and it was the same when facing him again at this moment.

Gu Jingrui was surprised that she remembered everything she said very clearly, but sometimes even she would forget those things.

"So you want to remind me that the relationship between the two of us is not even friends? You will never give me this opportunity."

"Of course we won't be friends. You are my boss and I am your employee. We don't owe each other anything."

She was grateful to Gu Jingrui for taking her to the hospital when she was in a coma, otherwise she wouldn't have discovered it on her own, and her mental problems might be even more serious now.

But thanks is thanks, she has always known what happened between them.

"I see."

After leaving such words, Gu Jingrui's figure turned around and disappeared into the night.

And Xia Lichen didn't know if it was because of the conversation between the two that night that the way she and Gu Jingrui got along in the company changed back to before they graduated.

There is no unnecessary gossip, except about work. If she does something bad, the other party will also scold her verbally.

But Xia Lichen is very happy because this is the working status she wants most.

But that day, when she was having tea with Sister Li in the office during her spare time, Gu Jingrui suddenly called her out.

And it wasn't just the two of them, but the executives and almost all the other employees besides them were called over.

And a person that Xia Lichen could never imagine was right in front of her at this moment, that is, beside Gu Jingrui.

"This is a new employee in our company. You will work together in the future. However, she does not have much previous work experience, so as the company's elders, you should teach her more in your free time."

This is the first time even Liu Li has met someone who can be brought to the office by the president in person after so many years of working in the company, although their current president is not as serious as the chairman.

"Hello everyone, my name is Su Yarou. I'm very happy to meet you today. I don't know anything about work in the future, and I hope you can be more understanding."

Xia Lichen froze on the spot without making any movement during the whole process. Even Su Yarou, whom she had not seen for many years, would have almost thought it was all a dream if she hadn't pinched her palm tightly with her nails.

But the fact is that she is really Su Yarou, and her whole person looks almost the same as before. Even her gentle and quiet aura has attracted the admiration of the male colleagues around her.

Su Yarou also looked up at her, as if she had known that she also worked in this company.

Her heart felt like she was suffocating, and when she finally returned to the office, she still felt uncomfortable all over.

At this moment, Su Yarou pushed open the door and entered her office.

"Long time no see Li Chen."

She still had such a gentle voice, but looking at her, Xia Lichen simply didn't want to say a word.

"I know you don't want to see me, but I'm very happy to work in the same company as you, and our former squad leader Gu is also here."

"That's enough Su Yarou, what do you want to say?"

Faced with her taking the initiative to talk to him like this, he felt that this woman was really fake.

"It's your brother, Ru Lin. He has been having a hard time at work recently, so as his wife, I naturally have to come out to make money and share some of his expenses, so I approached Squad Leader Gu, but I didn't expect that he would actually take me on.

This person has no work experience.”

Gu Jingrui, Gu Jingrui...you don't know the conflict between Su Yarou and me. Obviously this is not the only branch of your family.

For some reason, she actually had such an uncontrollable thought in her heart.

Let her be like this with her enemy and never look up or down again. As expected, that person has not changed deep down.

"Knock on the door when you enter my office from now on. I don't care about you and Xia Rulin. After all, my brother and I have still lived well without him all these years. And don't forget that you and I are no longer so-called friends.
