Xia Tong pondered for a long time: "If you have a friend who is about to get married to his fiancée. But just before the wedding, you find that the fiancée is pregnant with another man's child, will you tell your friend? ?”
"The friend you mentioned is Qin Muzhen, and that girlfriend is Joey." He guessed it right away.
Xia Tong nodded helplessly: "Yes." Then she reminded him vigilantly: "You must never tell others about this."
"Xia Tong, do you think I'm a fool?" He pressed her forehead: "Joey is an artist in my company, would I be stupid enough to let out such news that is obviously detrimental to Joey?"
Xia Tong rubbed his forehead: "That's right..." He continued to ask persistently: "Then will you tell that friend - er, Qin Muxuan?"
"First of all, Qin Muzhen is not my friend, so it doesn't matter to me whose child his girlfriend is pregnant with; secondly, even if he is my friend, I won't talk too much."
"Why?" Xia Tong was surprised.
"You are stupid..." Gu Haoran said: "Don't you know that men are the most honorable creatures in this world? If my friend came and told me that my fiancee not only wore a huge cuckold on me, but also I'm pregnant with someone else's child. Do you think I will continue to be friends with this friend? I will only feel that he has brought my reputation into disrepute, which will make me angry and I will never have anything to do with him in the future."
"That's right." Xia Tong nodded.
"And not only will you lose this friend, you may also arouse the hatred of his fiancée. If this fiancée happens to have some background, aren't you afraid of being tortured to death by her?"
Xia Tong shrank his neck in fear.
"So, when it comes to this kind of thing, shutting up is the best solution."
Xia Tong looked at him with admiration: "Gu Haoran, for the first time, I discovered that in addition to being good at talking, you also have ideas at critical moments."
"Of course." He raised his eyebrows proudly.
Suddenly, Xia Tong thought of another question and hesitated, not knowing whether he should ask it.
"If there is anything else, just ask it once and for all." He saw through it at a glance.
"Uh..." Xia Tong asked: "Gu Haoran, do all of you men have some girlish complexes and like young and immature little girls..."
Gu Haoran looked her over meaningfully: "I don't know if other people have girlish feelings, but I'm sure I don't."
"Why?"
"The answer is very simple..." He came closer to her and smiled mischievously: "I just fell in love with a young woman...so I have a young woman complex..."
After a long time, Xia Tong finally understood and jumped angrily: "Gu Haoran, how do I look like a young woman!!!"
In the evening, after Gu Haoran finished his work, he lowered his head and looked at his watch. Thinking that he would see the woman again later, the corner of his mouth unconsciously raised a pleasant smile.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door outside the office.
He leaned back on the seat behind him leisurely: "Come in."
It was Secretary Shu Ya: "Mr. Gu, there is a journalist who wants to see you for something urgent."
He put down his pen: "Well, let him come in."

"What? Was it photographed?" In a bar, Xia Tong said in surprise: "There was obviously no one in the underground parking lot that day, how could it be photographed?"
Gu Haoran pushed a CD in front of her: "Today, a reporter from Next Weekly suddenly came to me and said that he happened to be in the shopping mall parking lot that day and witnessed a very interesting scene. Then he handed the CD to me. I later At first glance, it turned out that it was a scene where Joey was negotiating with a man at the corner of the stairs in the parking lot, and it was completely and clearly captured."
"How could this happen?" Xia Tong became uneasy as she recalled the desperate and powerless pleas she made in the car that day. If this CD were to be circulated, the consequences would be absolutely disastrous.
Not only will Shen Yin's status as the queen that she has worked so hard to maintain for more than ten years collapse overnight, it will have a great impact on Qin Mujie and even Di Sheng, but nes, as Shen Yin's economic company, will definitely not be able to escape its involvement.
"Don't worry." He patted her shoulder: "This matter is not as bad as you think. Only the reporter took pictures of what happened in the parking lot that day, and no third person witnessed it. I have paid him to I have bought all the CDs in my hand, so as long as nothing happens, it should not be leaked."
Hearing this, Xia Tong's panic calmed down: "That's good." Then he said gratefully: "Thank you very much."
He laughed: "If I help you, I'm also helping myself. I can't say thank you."
Then, he pushed all the CDs in front of her: "Now I will hand over all the evidence to you. It's up to you what to do with it."
Xia Tong nodded: "We can't keep these things for a moment. I will destroy them all when I get back soon."
He looked at her meaningfully: "You won't leave a plate for future needs?"
Xia Tong was surprised: "What are you doing here?"
Gu Haoran shook his head helplessly: "You really don't understand the rules of survival in this society at all. You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must never have the intention to guard against others." Then he sighed again: "Since you believe her so much, then just do it according to your own ideas."
Xia Tong looked at him, not understanding what he was talking about. She put the CDs into her bag one by one and nodded in confusion.

In a blink of an eye, the day came for Shen Yin and Qin Muzhen to get engaged. Since it was just an engagement, Shen Yin didn't want to make it too grand. He only invited relatives, friends and some colleagues from both parties and prepared to hold a small ceremony at the Huyuan Villa.
Early in the morning, Shen Yin put on the dress that had been prepared and had her makeup done by a professional makeup artist before getting into a car bound for Huyuan Villa.
Xia Tong was accompanying her. Seeing that she seemed very nervous, he handed over the hot milk that he had just bought in the morning and had not yet had time to drink: "Drink a little, it will calm your mind."
She took it and held it in her hand: "Thank you."
The car drove for about half an hour before reaching its destination.
The engagement ceremony was held on a lush outdoor lawn. At this moment, the lawn was full of pink heart-shaped balloons, flowers and ribbons. White pigeons stopped in the green shade to peck at food, fluttering their wings and flying to the sky. It was early morning. The sunshine and the blue sky reflect each other, forming a beautiful picture.
The limo that picked up the bride stopped at one end of the red carpet. Qin Muzhen had already changed into a white suit and picked up Shen Yun from the car.
When his eyes touched Xia Tong in the passenger seat, he frowned slightly and turned around mysteriously.
Qin Hansheng, Tang Zhenbang and another gentle woman stood at the other end of the red carpet, smiling and looking at the newlywed couple walking towards them.
After being busy all morning, Xia Tong felt extremely tired. She bent down and squeezed through the lively crowd, hoping to find an empty seat to sit and rest.
Unexpectedly, during the push, someone bumped into him. Xia Tong lost his balance and fell violently behind him, and the heel of his shoe involuntarily stepped on someone's foot.
Without thinking, Xia Tong could imagine how painful that person would be at this moment. The high heels on his feet were a full ten centimeters long!
Xia Tong panicked and turned around to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...I didn't mean to..." He raised his eyes, but couldn't help but be stunned. The small and clean face that suddenly appeared in front of him turned out to be Su Ruo, whom he hadn't seen in a month.
But what Xia Tong didn't expect was that the girl in front of her usually had a gentle smile that disappeared. She didn't look at her for half a second, and she was always staring at a certain place in the distance.
There was a suffocating look on his face, gloomy, cold, and slightly strange. For the first time in his life, Xia Tong felt a complete threat and terror.
Xia Tong followed her gaze and found that it was Shen Yin and Qin Mujue who were happily exchanging rings on the red carpet.
In the midst of the laughter, someone suddenly shouted in horror: "Ah... why is the bride's dress red?!"
"There's blood... there's blood, there's blood on Miss Shen's legs?!"
Chaos ensued: "The bride fainted, fainted!"
Xia Tong turned around hesitantly, almost unable to believe his eyes. On the red carpet, Qin Muzhen suddenly looked tense and hugged Shen Shen, who was almost fainting, and hurriedly walked towards the car not far away.
And just as he was walking along the road, drops of blood spread coquettishly, swallowing up everything. The chaotic air also filled with a thick smell of blood...
What happened? Why did it become like this in just a short time?
Xia Tong was startled, and her mind became chaotic and chaotic. She hurriedly followed the car, and vaguely felt that things seemed to be getting worse and worse.

In the back seat of the car, Shen Yin tossed and turned and woke up in pain several times. Each time, he kept shouting: "Mujue...it hurts..."
The long hair that was once as black and soft as vines was also messy and tangled, clinging to her cheeks covered in cold sweat, and making her face look as thin as paper.
Xia Tong half hugged her, feeling confused for a moment.
The dress she touched had already adhered to large areas of fishy silk liquid. She knew what it was, but she didn't dare to lower her head to look. He could only comfort her shoulders all the time: "It's okay, it's okay...
."
Qin Mujue, who was driving the car, turned around several times. Although he still looked calm on the outside, the tension in his heart could still be felt in his tense body and pale face.
The car sped up a bit, and with a groan of "Ugh...", Xia Tong hurriedly said: "Slow down...she feels very uncomfortable."
Qin Mushi nodded and the car slowed down slightly.
