As soon as Gu Tongyao returned to the company, he saw his fiancée Zhang Wenwen sitting on his office chair. He was surprised at the speed of this woman's return to China, but there was no trace of it on his face. Instead, he raised his wrist and stared at the expensive watch on his wrist.
Said: "It has only been less than 48 hours since I asked you to return to China."
The woman slowly turned around from the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at Gu Tongyao and said, "What? Do you think I came back too soon?"
Zhang Wenwen is obviously another beauty next to Gu Tongyao. Her simple short hair shows her neat and straightforward personality. She is a handsome beauty who exudes a chic temperament.
"I didn't expect you wanted to see me so much." She probably drank Chanel as coffee. He has severe nasal allergies. He never likes to be known, so he will never get even half a step closer to her.
Since she was sitting on his office chair, he was sitting on the sofa farthest from the desk. Even so, he could still smell the strong smell emanating from him.
Zhang Wenwen caught Gu Yuyao's look and said meaningfully: "If you were me, would you want to see a man who is deliberately trying to drive you out of the country?"
Gu Tongyao nodded and chuckled: "No matter what, you are back."
"You are a cold-blooded man who doesn't want to apologize for that matter." She glared at him.
He frowned and shook his head: "So what if I apologize? Can you bear your pride and accept my apology without any regrets?"
"You -" she glared at him: "What on earth did you want me to come back for?"
He shrugged: "You are my fiancée, why do you think I asked you to come back?"
"Fiancée?" Zhang Wenwen sneered and laughed: "When you tried every means to drive me away, why didn't you think that I was your fiancée? I think your purpose of calling me back this time must not be simple."
Gu Tongyao smiled to himself and said: "Then you are disappointed, because my purpose of calling you later is extremely simple."
"What is it?"
"marry."
"Marry? Are you crazy?" She was surprised, "Have you forgotten what you did four years ago to not marry me?"
Gu Tongyao interrupted her and said impatiently: "I still don't want to marry you until now. If it weren't for your father's sake, I wouldn't sit here and talk with you."
"What do you mean?" Her father passed away last month.
Gu Tongyao stood up from the sofa, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and motioned for her to take out a document from the drawer:
"It seems that you haven't received a call from Lawyer Chen. This is a document sent by your father two months ago. The document clearly states that after his death, if you do not marry me, then you will
Loss of inheritance rights to all property."
"Impossible." Zhang Wenwen suddenly slapped the document on the table and shouted loudly: "Ridiculous, what are you doing? I am my father's biological daughter, how could he do this to me? And the lawyer didn't say a word right.
I said it."
"Two months ago, when your father was dying, he asked his lawyer to send this document to me. You'd better see clearly whether the person who drafted the document was your father's lawyer. You were not in the country at the time, and the only one who was with your father was
This person is your stepmother, can't you still see this kind of trick?" He meant something.
"You mean..."
He nodded.
"Damn it." She cursed: "This is all a trick played by that woman. She wants to embezzle my father's inheritance. I will go find her to settle the score."
"It's useless even if you go. No one can prove what she did. The most important thing is that if we don't consummate our marriage, you will have nothing."
As if she had discovered a new world, she quickly turned around and asked, "Why are you helping me? Everyone in the world knows that you, Gu Tongyao, are an iceberg. How can you be so kind?"
He shook his head, and his eyes inadvertently revealed a depth that was so deep that it was hard to imagine what he was thinking. After a long time, he said:
"I'm not helping you, I'm helping myself. I just want my ears to be clear. You know how much my parents care about our marriage. Oh, after we get married, you will still be you, and I will still be me. Between us
There won't be any socializing. You can do whatever you want."
"A deal without love?" She was not angry, this was his style. But his depth made her curious. She had never seen this man show such an expression before, and she was attracted.
"Yes." He replied.
"I'm very curious about what kind of woman can make you attracted. Since I met you, all you have shown is indifference. You don't care about others, and you don't even care about other people's lives. You decide things even at the expense of others.
No matter what, or rather - what kind of past do you have?"
Gu Tongyao restrainedly put away his deep expression, and changed his face to a smile. A smile that was not comforting but warm: "The Gu Tongyao you know has no heart. You'd better not expect me to use this smile."
My heart is open to you, otherwise you will only become a resentful woman."
She laughed: "I have already become a resentful woman, even when I found out that my fiancé is not interested in me."
He smiled slightly: "I will announce our wedding date on Halloween. You don't need me to teach you how to get your father's inheritance back after that. Just do what you should do as the wife of the president of Gu's Consortium."
She is still curious.
"What about your personal assistant?" She was referring to Linda.
He made an indifferent expression.
"You decide the date of divorce, I'll be waiting for you at any time."
"I'll decide?" She laughed: "What if I never get divorced in my life?"
"Whatever." His eyes didn't change at all, as if he was explaining something that had nothing to do with him indifferently.
"You really don't care?"
"uh-huh."
"Cold-blooded." This was the last sentence Zhang Wenwen said before leaving.
When everything calmed down, Gu Tongyao opened the window to release the strong scent of perfume floating in the office, and then fell into silence while looking at the flock of white pigeons on the roof of the building opposite.
"I'm cold-blooded, ha." He whispered palely. His heart had been unconditionally open to a woman, but what he got was ruthless betrayal. If being cold-blooded could make him feel comfortable, then why would he choose another path?
?
The following days were the most peaceful ones for Qi Wuwu. Apart from satisfying Gu Tongyao's never-ending desires every day, apart from going to work, he almost followed her arrangements and went wherever she wanted to go.
Let her do whatever she wants.
It's just... he would ask the driver to accompany her, even if she was just walking near the villa. His purpose was very obvious, which was to tell her not to try to escape from his control.
Sometimes she would ask the driver to take her to a nursing home or mental hospital, but in the end she would always endure her father's cold curses and her mother's unfamiliar eyes. She felt that she was looking for abuse. Every time she faced them, she felt like
Cut her heart with a knife.
Sometimes she would worry that once Gu Tongyao really got tired of her, then she might really not be able to afford her parents' high pension. Her life would be spent in suffering day by day, and then - on Halloween
Finally arrived.
Qi Wu was arranged by Linda to make preparations in the hotel as scheduled. The so-called preparations actually meant setting up the scene, making the hotel look like a haunted house inside and out.
