"Mr. Xu, I have already contacted the reporters from xx newspaper and several magazines. As long as Lu Haiyao is here at the old lady's funeral tomorrow, you will wake up for the old lady together. As soon as the news comes out the day after tomorrow, all the previous reports about you and the company will be overturned.
negative news."
"I've already said hello to them, I just need a few photos."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, he walked upstairs, passed by grandma's room, and saw her sitting on grandma's bed, staring blankly at the photos of grandma when she was alive.
I shed tears from time to time and then reached out my hand to wipe them away.
At that moment, there was a pulling pain in his heart.
When he walked in, Hai Yao noticed it and immediately wiped away the tears on her face, turned her back to him and said, "I'm here to see if grandma has anything else."
Xu Yizhong sat down, took the photo album in her hand, and turned to the photos of his childhood. Regardless of whether she wanted to listen or not, he said to himself, "I mostly lived with my grandma when I was a child. Since my dad is gone, I have only
Grandma will take care of me."
"The relationship between grandma and mom was particularly bad, and there was even a stalemate, because grandma believed that my dad's death had nothing to do with my mom."
"Over the years, I have never understood why grandma doesn't like my mother, but she likes you so much. Do you remember the first time I took you to see grandma? She told me that you are very suitable for getting married and starting a family.
, she is the kind of woman who is calm and will take care of everything for me."
As he spoke, he looked at Hai Yao and reached out to hold Hai Yao's hand. She was startled and wanted to retract, but he held her tighter.
He looked at her with such seriousness and depth that Haiyao did not dare to look at her for a long time.
"Haiyao, only now do I understand how important you are to me."
"I'm used to your presence, but suddenly without you, I can't seem to find my direction. Do you understand how I feel?"
Hearing these seemingly confessional words, Hai Yao did not feel her heartbeat speed up, but instead felt panicked.
She quickly withdrew her hand and looked away, "I don't know what you are talking about."
What exactly does he mean by saying this at this time?
When she was about to get up and leave, he unexpectedly pulled her into his arms from behind, his strong arms across her chest, and held her tightly.
At that moment, her heart skipped a beat, and she struggled, "What are you doing?"
"Haiyao..."
He hugged her tightly, not giving her a chance to break free, and a low voice sounded in her ears, "Haiyao, you also promised grandma to give me another chance."
"Can you please stay with me?"
"Don't... don't come to Gu Tingchuan's side, stay here, okay?"
The deep voice with hints of pleading and affection made Haiyao's heart suddenly become confused.
It's not like she hadn't thought about such a day.
I just never thought that it would be so sudden and abrupt at this time, and I was not mentally prepared at all.
"I……"
She was hesitating because she couldn't see clearly what was going on in his mind. Why did he suddenly say such a thing?
Hai Yao felt extremely confused. She pulled his hand away forcefully, not daring to look at him. "I don't want to talk about this at this time."
After finishing speaking, he walked away without looking back.

the other side.
In the Guangxia Group Building, the manager knocked on the door of the vice president's office. When he heard a lazy "come in", he opened the door and walked in.
I saw Gu Tingchuan's legs crossed on the desk, leaning lazily in the chair, raising his head, letting the strong sunlight outside shine on his face. The sunlight was so strong that it was difficult to even open his eyes.
He half-closed his eyes and asked lukewarmly, "Has Lu Haiyao come to work?"
When the manager heard this, his voice became very low, "She's not here yet."
Hearing this, Gu Tingchuan frowned, "Then call her or she will be fired!"
There is a bit of anger in the tone.
In the past few days, he came downstairs to her house every day and couldn't wait for anyone.
Even a fool would think that she must be with Xu Yizhong at this time!
He knew that she must be very sad at this time, but he just wanted to separate her and Xu Yizhong. As long as they didn't stay together, the depressed feeling in his heart could dissipate.
When the manager heard this, he lowered his head even lower and said, "The call has been made."
Gu Tingchuan then looked at him and asked, "What did she say?"
"She said...she said..."
Seeing Gu Tingchuan's angry expression, the manager didn't dare to say anything further.
Until Gu Tingchuan yelled, "Say!!!"
"She said...if she could not be accommodated, she would send in her resignation letter as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Gu Tingchuan could almost imagine her determined expression when she said this.
My mood dropped to the extreme...
The manager thought that the prince was going to lose his temper, but unexpectedly, he heard a low and helpless voice, "Get out."
**********
The sky was getting dark, and Haiyao was taking a bath in the bathroom when her cell phone rang.
There was only one sound before Xu Yizhong cut him off.
Haiyao vaguely seemed to hear her cell phone ringing, but when she listened carefully, there was no sound.
Xu Yizhong held her mobile phone and couldn't help but open the caller ID and the messages.
I found out that they were all sent by Gu Tingchuan.
He squeezed the phone tightly and almost deleted all the information in her phone uncontrollably.
Suddenly, the phone screen lit up.
Showing a text message...
He clicked it and looked: Where is it? I'll wait for you downstairs at your house.
His eyes were dark, his heart was stuffy, and he clicked delete without hesitation with his slender fingers...
He was suddenly very happy that they were now at his grandma's old house, a place where Gu Tingchuan could not find him...
Haiyao came out of the bathroom and saw Xu Yizhong in her room. Thinking of what he said in the afternoon, she felt a little embarrassed.
Don't know how to face it...
She stood at the door of the bathroom, hesitated for a long time, then forced herself to walk over calmly and asked, "Is something wrong?"
