After Jiang Xiaoguo left, Rebecca walked in and glanced at Jiang Xiaoguo who left angrily. She walked to Zhou Xun's desk and sat down and asked confusedly:
"You obviously do it for her own good, why don't you tell her the truth?"
"What's the truth?"
Looking at the puzzled Rebecca, Zhou Xun shook his head and said with a smile:
"You think too much, she is not that important!"
"Yeah?"
Looking at Zhou Xun who looked quite unnatural, Rebecca said directly:
"Did you give that pen to her?"
"It's from me!"
Hearing Rebecca's question, Zhou Xun was stunned for a moment and forced a smile:
"She successfully won the red stubble project last time. I'll give her a small gift to encourage her. Is there any problem?"
"If I remember correctly, you bought that pen when you won the first project and have never left it!"
Looking into Zhou Xun's eyes, Rebecca reminded him:
"As far as I know, Xiaoguo is pregnant. Can you understand what I mean?"
"Of course I understand, but you think too much. How could I like her?"
"There is no best!"
After taking one last look at Zhou Xun, Rebecca stood up and left:
"Zhou Xun, you are too rational, and Jiang Xiaoguo is a very emotional girl. You two are not suitable for each other!"
"You're overthinking it. I don't like a woman who is as smart as her!"
"Okay, maybe I'm thinking too much, so I'll go first, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After watching Rebecca leave, Zhou Xun couldn't help but think of the day when he, Rebecca, and Su Hang discussed investing in Xiangke Home Furnishings and sniping at Weishi Technology.
That day, in the conference room, Su Hang was the first to make up his mind and said:
"Just invest in Xiangke. As long as the media targets Zhao Changming, his competitors will definitely be hurt. When the regulatory authorities ask them to suspend their listing plans and prove their innocence, the valuation of Weishi Technology will definitely plummet. At that time,
, didn’t the Xiangke Home Furnishing Company we invested in catch up from behind?”
"I knew you would think so, what about Jiang Xiaoguo?"
After hearing Su Hang's thoughts, Rebecca couldn't help but smile, then looked at him and asked:
"We just promised Jiang Xiaoguo not to tell anyone, have you forgotten?"
"Then do you have a better way? A few hundred million investment and some small tricks are nothing."
Looking at Zhou Xun and Rebecca who were silent, Su Hang paused for a moment and continued:
"If there is no better way, I will contact the media?"
"Let me do it!"
Looking up at Su Hang and Rebecca, Zhou Xun said:
"Sooner or later, this matter will be exposed. It's better to use it to our advantage. Only expose Zhao Changming, pick out Jiang Xiaoguo's friends, secretly control the trend of public opinion, and only target Zhao Changming!"
"Hey, are you so worried about Jiang Xiaoguo?"
Looking at the expressionless Zhou Xun, Su Hang curled his lips and said indifferently:
"Actually, I don't care. The focus of this plan is Zhao Changming alone. It's just..."
"Just what?"
Looking at the playful Su Hang, Rebecca couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said:
"If you have something to say, just say it quickly and don't hold back!"
"Okay then, I'll just say it if I have something to say!"
After glancing at Rebecca, Su Hang looked at Zhou Xun and said seriously:
"You should also know that if we pull out the carrot and bring out the mud, even if we only expose Zhao Changming, it is impossible for Jiang Xiaoguo's friends to be dug out by others, and public opinion is not something we can control if we want to. In the end, we don't have to
I said, after we exposed Zhao Changming, others will definitely continue to expose Zhao Changming's family, and the family of the third party, not to mention what will happen next. Even so, you still have to
Keep doing it?"
"Thank you for the reminder, but wouldn't I have thought of these interlocking problems?"
Looking at Su Hang, Zhou Xun frowned slightly and said:
"Jiang Xiaoguo can be emotional, but I can't. I only expose Zhao Changming, and I can't care about other things!"
"Well done, you are worthy of Zhou Xun!"
Looking at the calm-minded and rational Zhou Xun, Su Hang smiled and said:
"I thought you would give up this opportunity for Jiang Xiaoguo, but it seems I thought too much!"
As he spoke, he comforted himself:
"However, even if we don't expose it, this matter will be exposed sooner or later. It's better to expose it now!"
"good!"
Glancing at Zhou Xun, Rebecca smiled and said:
"We, Mr. Zhou, still care about Jiang Xiaoguo. However, as you said, Xiaoguo is an emotional person. Otherwise, this matter should be left to me. If she wants to blame, just blame me!
"
"No, it's the same for any of us!"
"Too!"
As night fell, Jiang Xiaoguo returned to school after get off work and walked listlessly downstairs to the girls' dormitory. When he was about to go in, Duan Jiabao came back from buying snacks from the school supermarket and saw her and shouted:
"Xiaoguo, why did you come back so early today?"
"If you don't want to stay at the company, come back early!"
Jiang Xiaoguo lowered his head and said in a depressed mood.
"What's wrong? Did you quarrel with the boss?"
"No quarrel, I changed the team today. From now on, I will be in the same team as Rebecca, and she will also be my investor!"
"Okay, why did you change the team?"
"Don't mention it, I've just convinced myself. Why am I so unlucky?"
As he said that, seeing Duan Jiabao carrying a large bag of snacks and drinks, Jiang Xiaoguo reached out and took out a bottle of canned drinks and said:
"What is this? I want to drink it too!"
"No, no, I can't give you this to drink. It contains alcohol, which is not good for the baby!"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo wanted to drink the alcoholic beverage he bought, Duan Jiabao quickly stopped her and said:
"Okay, okay, let's go back, come on, come on, tell me what happened today?"
"It's about the incident on the internet. Shitou's mother, Zhao Changming and Mr. Zhou, I know he does it for work, but he can't hurt others for work. They all promised me not to tell anyone, but in the blink of an eye they told the media
Oh, Shitou must hate me to death!"
"So this is ah!"
After listening to Jiang Xiaojie's intermittently finished words and understanding the whole story, Duan Jiabao comforted her with a smile:
"Oh, it's okay. It's not like you don't understand her, Shitou. It'll be fine in two days. Just trust me!"
"This time it's different!"
Jiang Xiaoguo shook his head and said in frustration:
"This incident is so big that Aunt Wei is hiding at home and doesn't dare to go out. Some people even come to harass her. Shitou will definitely not forgive me this time!"
"Oh, don't think about the stone like this, okay?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo who was feeling sorry for herself, Duan Jiabao comforted her and said:
"You should think this way. In fact, Shitou is just like you. She also cares about your friendship. Think about it, she is like Yuan Xudong, right? Now that she has a baby, why don't you forgive her?"
After that, Duan Jiabao seemed to realize that there was something wrong with what he said. Duan Jiabao looked at Jiang Xiaoguo who was staring at him with slightly wide eyes and asked:
"Um, did I say the wrong thing?"
"Hmph, what do you think?"
Looking at Duan Jiabao who was not opening and picking up which pot, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but hum, rolled his eyes and said:
"Duan Jiabao, I really admire you. Why do you think you are so good at comforting people?"
"Oh, I was wrong. Isn't it okay if I said something wrong?"
"Forget it, go back. I don't remember the faults of villains. I will let you go this time!"
"Okay, thank you Xiaoguo!"
At noon the next day, Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan were sitting together in the private room of the InterContinental Hotel. Yuan Xudong sat opposite them. Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan, who were a little awkward, Yuan Xudong said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, you two have always been good friends and besties. For the sake of me working so hard to bring you two together, how about we get back together again?"
"Shut up!"
He glared hard at Yuan Xudong, not expecting that he would ask out Luo Yan and herself at the same time. Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoguo looked at the silent Luo Yan and said with a smile:
"I'm sorry, Shitou, I really didn't know it would be like this. Can you just forgive me once?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo who sincerely apologized to her, Luo Yan hesitated a little and said:
"Dabao has told me, I know you had a quarrel with your boss, now we are even, you cheated me once, I cheated you once, it seems we two have to depend on each other again!"
"What the hell?"
Looking at the smiling Luo Yan, Jiang Xiaoguo opened his eyes slightly and tried:
"You mean we have reconciled?"
"What else?"
Luo Yan rolled her eyes at Jiang Xiaoguo, stood up, poured her a cup of hot tea and said with a smile:
"After drinking this cup of hot tea, we will be reconciled. How about that?"
"Okay, then I'll pour you a drink too!"
"Thanks!"
"You're welcome!"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan who were smiling at each other, knowing that they had resolved their conflicts, Yuan Xudong interrupted in time and said with a smile:
"That's great. Sisters are of the same mind and are as powerful as gold. Give me a cup of tea and let's celebrate together!"
"Go, go, what does the matter between us sisters have to do with you? Just go and stay somewhere cool!"
After giving Yuan Xudong a hard look and sending him aside, Luo Yan looked at Jiang Xiaoguo and smiled:
"Anyway, I figured it out. After all, it's my mother's fault. I can't blame anyone else, so you don't have to blame yourself!"
Looking at Luo Yan who finally figured it out, Jiang Xiaoguo hesitated for a while and asked:
"Then you and your mother."
Before Jiang Xiaoguo could finish speaking, as if she knew what she wanted to ask, Luo Yan smiled and said in a calm voice:
"My mother has resigned and plans to settle in the UK. I will accompany her to the UK and study there!"
"ah?"
Yuan Xudong and Jiang Xiaoguo were both shocked when they heard the news that Luo Yan was going to study in the UK. It was the first time for both Yuan Xudong and Jiang Xiaoguo to hear such news. Jiang Xiaoguo was in a low mood and sat there without saying a word, just lowering his head.
With his head full of frustration, Yuan Xudong looked at Luo Yan and objected:
"I firmly disagree. If you go to the UK to study, what will happen to our children?"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
After giving Yuan Xudong a hard look, Luo Yan said directly:
"My mother only has a daughter like me. She is going to settle in the UK. I can't leave her alone, right? Also, I'm pregnant and she doesn't even know who the father of the child is. What qualifications do you have?"
Do you agree with me to study in the UK?"
"I"
"Okay, you don't need to say anything. I have decided to study in the UK. It's useless what you say now!"
After glaring at Yuan Xudong and seeing Jiang Xiaoguo in a low mood, Luo Yan reached out and touched her hair and said with a smile:
"Well, there's no need to be sad. It's not like I'm going to England and not coming back. I'll come back to see you often. If you have time, you can also go to England to see me!"
With that said, with her back to Yuan Xudong, Luo Yan leaned into Jiang Xiaoguo's ear and whispered:
"Okay, I'll give it back to you Yuan Xudong. It's up to you to take care of Liang Shuang. Come on!"
"Shitou, you don't have to do this, I'm with you"
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. The baby is hungry. It's time to eat. It's time to eat!"
"Have a meal!"
After dinner, Yuan Xudong first sent Jiang Xiaoguo back, and then drove Luo Yan to her mother. Looking at Luo Yan with a calm face, Yuan Xudong hesitated a little and said:
"Can you not go to the UK to study?"
"cannot!"
"What about the child?"
"When the baby is born, my mother will help me take care of it, so you don't have to worry!"
"Okay, then do I have to pay alimony? How much will it cost every month?"
"Get out!"
Looking at Luo Yan who rolled her eyes, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"When are you leaving? I'll see you off at the airport!"
"No, I don't like the parting scene!"
With that said, Luo Yan turned to look at Yuan Xudong and asked directly:
"Xiaoguo or Liang Shuang, who do you plan to marry?"
"I don't know, I haven't thought it through yet!"
Yuan Xudong told the truth.
"Scumbag!"
"Thank you for the compliment!"
"I didn't praise you!"
"I know, I'll just treat it as a compliment from you!"
"Scoundrel!"
"Thank you for the compliment!"
"you"
Looking at the shameless Yuan Xudong, Luo Yan was almost mad at him. In the end, she could only choose to ignore him and not talk to him. Seeing that Luo Yan was ignoring her, Yuan Xudong took the initiative to chat with her and said:
"By the way, how is your mother? Is she okay?"
"What's good?"
After giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Luo Yan sighed softly and said:
"No matter what, she still has to bear the consequences of the mistakes she made. She has been a lawyer all her life. In order not to drag down Junhao Law Firm, she resigned on her own. Now she drinks and sleeps at home every day. I
As a daughter, I don’t have much ability, so I can only find time to spend more time with her. Last night, she drank too much, so she just curled up on the sofa and slept all night. As a result, this morning, I got up and opened the door, and she was already there.
I woke up and even prepared breakfast for me. You said it was really difficult for her to be alone while I lived on campus for so many years!"
"Shitou, that's good if you think so!"
Taking a look at Luo Yan's specially long hair, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things. How have you been lately?"
"I'm fine. Except for my mother's affairs and meeting you, everything else is really good!"
"Yeah?"
Looking at Luo Yan who was talking, Yuan Xudong smiled and changed the subject:
"You started to grow your hair longer? It looks pretty good, a little different from before!"
"No, I've just been too busy recently and never had time to go to the barber shop for a haircut!"
"That's it!"
Luo Yan didn't expose the tough talk. After a while, Yuan Xudong drove the car downstairs to her house and said with a smile:
"Okay, we're here!"
"Well, I'll go up first, bye!"
Seeing Luo Yan push open the car door and walk out, Yuan Xudong got out of the car and said with a smile:
"Won't you invite me to come up and sit down?"
"My mother is at home, are you sure you want to go up and sit down?"
"just kidding!"
Yuan Xudong did not have the courage to see the mother-in-law whose daughter was pregnant by him before they were married. He walked up to Luo Yan, held her body and kissed her for a while and said proudly:
"Okay, go ahead and send me a text message when you get home, goodbye!"
"rogue!"
Staring at Yuan Xudong fiercely, Luo Yan wiped her lips with the back of her right hand and said with a red face:
"I'm going back, you should go back early too!"
"Okay, I'll wait until you get home before leaving!"
"Let's go, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
Watching Luo Yan walk into the apartment building, after waiting for a while, he received a text message that she had arrived home. Yuan Xudong drove away, planning to go to Liang Shuang's place to rest for the night, and by the way, he brought her some herbal tea to relieve the heat and remove the acne on her face.
