"...My mother is not dead, and my father is not crazy..."
"…………"
"Not dead...not crazy...how is that possible? It's been 5 years..."
Zijin murmured and repeated Gu Yanshen's words, then shook his head violently after a moment, "...No, I can't believe it. Is it true? Is it true? Are you sure?"
…………
Gu Yan pressed her slender shoulders deeply and said slowly: "As I said just now, I don't want to tell you such a thing now. It's not that I want to hide anything from you, I just think the time is not ripe yet, but listen
It’s here, I can’t hide it anymore. Zijin, what I just told you is basically everything I know.”
"…………"
"Your surgery was performed by Aunt Xiao. She told me that your mood was very unstable. Maybe you didn't tell me anything, just to make me worry less, but you were stressed about everything.
In your heart, this is not a good sign for you, do you understand? So, don’t control your emotions, I am your man, if you have any thoughts, just tell me directly, eh? "
Her ears were buzzing. Gu Yanshen said a lot, but Zijin didn't hear a word of what was said. Now what happened to her parents was so shocking that she couldn't think normally. Her brain was in chaos.
Such news came from the mouth of the man she loved and trusted the most. She knew that there would be no more lies. Everything was true. This truth was not cruel. To her, it should be
It was still a surprise, but why, at this moment, was she more surprised than happy?
What happened 5 years ago to make your parents do this?
Mom is not dead, so where is she now?
Dad is not crazy, so why did he pretend to be crazy for 5 years?
…………
Zijin felt her temples throbbing and uncomfortable, as if someone was hitting her head with a big hammer, and all the nerves in her body were in severe pain. She couldn't bear it, and she grabbed her head.
With Gu Yanshen's strength, it was more like pinching, and he was breathing rapidly. The only words he could think of were blurted out, "... He's not dead... My mother is not dead, so where is she? Why did she... why 5 years ago?"
Even though she was gone, she didn’t even come to me? No... Didn’t I see her body back then? And dad... If my dad wasn’t crazy, why was he willing to be locked up in that place for 5 years? Why did I visit him so many times?
Times, he never said anything?"
"...Zijin, please calm down and don't get excited. Give me some time and I will investigate these things slowly. Once I investigate clearly, I will tell you -"
"No, that's not right, Yan Shen, that's not right!"
Zijin suddenly thought of something and almost jumped up from the bed. However, the movement was so sudden that she staggered. Fortunately, Gu Yanshen caught her in time and stabilized himself.
She didn't let her fall.
"...No, my father is in danger!"
"What's wrong?"
Gu Yanshen's heart tightened. Zijin's startled look made him very worried, which made him startled himself. "Zijin, if you have anything to do, just say it slowly. Come on, sit down first."
"
Zi Jin refused to sit down, and she shook her head, "Qiao Shiyun told me that he wanted to send my father to Qingshan. Do you think he has discovered something? Yan Shen, take me to see my father right away. He will go right away.
, I want to see him, and I want to ask him now why he pretended to be crazy with me for 5 years... I can't understand, I can't understand no matter what, I want to ask him personally, and me
He must know everything about my mother, why would he hide it from me?"
She stretched out her hand to wipe her cheeks, then took her coat from the hanger nearby, put it on her body, and left.
Gu Yanshen reached out and held her, "Zijin, you can't be discharged from the hospital now. If anything happens, I'll handle it. You stay here."
"Why not? I'm already fine!"
Zijin's voice was unexpectedly clear. She stretched out her hand and shook off Gu Yanshen's hand that was grabbing her wrist. She was calm and a little abnormal, "Don't stop me. Either you take me with you, or you just leave it alone."
I, I’m going to find my dad now.”
"Zijin, have you forgotten that you just had an operation? Your body is still very weak, so don't be brave!"
Gu Yanshen's tone was a little harsher. He could accommodate her in anything, but he couldn't compromise on her physical condition. Zijin's body was not that strong to begin with. After becoming pregnant, she also suffered a lot.
, during this period, so many things happened one after another, not to mention her body, her spirit was also suffering a double blow, and now, it was obvious that something was very wrong with her, but she kept a calm face.
Abnormality is a monster. How could Gu Yanshen not see such an abnormal person?
He disagreed, frowned, and said firmly, "Your parents' affairs are my business. No matter what, leave them to me. You can just stay here and rest."
"You lied to me!"
Zijin suddenly reached out and pushed Gu Yanshen away. She lost control of her strength, causing her body to sway. Gu Yanshen took a step forward worriedly, but Zijin stumbled back. She pressed her hands behind her.
There were angry expressions on the walls and faces, and even the eyes looking at him were cold.
"You lied to me, you lied to me! Gu Yanshen, you lied to me! All of you are lying to me, everyone in the world is lying to me! I have been a fool for 5 years, and now you want me to continue to stay
In this broken room, let me accept the treatment obediently? Do you think I really have no brains? You are also Qiao Shiyun's son! Why didn't you tell me before? You are with me every day, and you have many opportunities to put these things into practice early
Tell me, why did you wait until I overheard before you told me? What if I didn't hear anything? Are you going to tell me? You used the so-called ridiculous excuse of "for my own good" to hide such a secret!
You still don’t let me see my dad now! Do you think I will believe it? I don’t believe anyone, and I don’t believe anyone now!”
When she spoke, her voice trembled.
The words were sharp, like the tip of a knife, falling on Gu Yanshen's heart, making the man's delicate features feel as if they had been struck by frost, gloomy and terrifying.
"Is this how you miss me? I lied to you, huh?"
Zi Jin's eyes were very cold, but they flickered under Gu Yanshen's questioning voice. She pressed her white lips tightly and said nothing. Her soft body was like a stubborn stone at this moment.
He was pressed against the wall, motionless.
Seeing her like this, Gu Yanshen could no longer lose his temper.
In fact, I can completely understand her current state of mind. The surprise, shock, and panic made her unable to think normally. Maybe she really felt that he was deceiving her now, and that he had indeed concealed a lot of things from her.
But what I was thinking was one thing, and hearing these words from her mouth was another feeling.
The two of them had quarrels, but Gu Yanshen had never seen such a cold light in Zijin's eyes.
It was like - the entire intact world was being destroyed inch by inch in front of her. Everything was violently subverted. She was caught off guard and had no idea what to do. There were so many people standing in front of her.
Everyone seems to have become her enemy, because after being deceived by her closest people for so many years, it seems that the door to her heart has been suddenly closed.
Gu Yanshen didn't allow her to do this, and he was even more worried that she would really build up some hostility towards him. He couldn't help but stepped forward, grabbed her wrist forcefully, and pulled her into his arms.
She was a little resistant at first, but he didn't let go at all and hugged her tighter. The man's thin lips gently kissed her cheek, earlobe, lips, and finally stopped on her forehead. His voice was low,
There is also a bit of softness that makes Zijin easily indulge in it——
"I know you are scared. You can't find your way now. Zijin, I can understand your feelings, but don't be like this. It's okay to resist everyone. Don't be afraid of me. I can't lie to you. Yes, Qiao Shiyun
He is my father, but do you think I will show mercy to him after he killed our child so cruelly? Zijin, I don’t want you to know too many bloody things. In fact, I really only have one
My simple wish is to hope that you are well, but I know that it is too difficult to achieve this simple wish now."
The struggling movements in his arms gradually became smaller.
Gu Yanshen's gentle lips landed on the top of her head, and he kissed her very devoutly, which had the magic power to make people feel at ease. "Okay, no matter where you want to go, I will take you there, but you have to promise me that no matter what happens, I will take you there."
, you must hold me and don’t let go. Cry at me if you want to cry, lose your temper with me if you want to, I am your man, I should bear all your sufferings and difficulties."
"I love you, baby, I love you... Don't be afraid, don't be afraid of anything, I'm by your side, I won't lie to you, I won't hurt you, I love you..."
Gu Yanshen hugged the person in his arms tightly, his thin lips pressed against her ear, and he felt her trembling in his arms. His distressed eyes were a little red, and he could only say in her ear over and over again.
Saying "I love you", that deep voice, like the finest red wine, penetrated into the heart of the extremely uneasy woman. She seemed to be a little drunk by the smell of this mellow wine, and then slowly
Relax slowly...
※※※※※
Joe's.
In the huge conference room, there were a row of managers from various departments sitting at the bottom, but all of them were silent.
At the top of the conference table, a man in formal attire sat there with a gloomy expression. His sharp eyes swept over everyone. Seeing that everyone remained silent, he raised his hand and threw the folder in his hand.
The unlucky manager of an unknown department was hit on the forehead. He made a hissing sound in pain, but buried his head even lower.
"What do I use to support you? Ah?! Now I ask you to come up with a plan, and each one of you is stupid? Did you become this virtuous after I left the company for a while? Let me tell you, Mr. Qiao
If there is something wrong, none of you can even think about escaping cleanly."
"…………"
"Who can come out and explain to me clearly what is the reason why it has not been approved? Next month, there are less than 15 days left, who among you will give me a complete plan?"
"…………"
The entire conference room was quiet, as if a pin dropped on the ground, it was clearly audible. No one made a sound. Who dared to speak at this time? He was afraid that he would be swallowed up to the bone.
But everyone knows clearly that the three projects Qiao Shiyun mentioned were all started by Gu Yanshen. In fact, these real estate projects were already under construction a few years ago. These projects have been put on hold.
, has not been valued by Qiao Shiyun, but after Gu Yanshen came back, he personally organized the project, and the people below almost worked hard. Waiting for the property to be listed, Qiao's is guaranteed to make a profit.
Because Gu Yanshen had made a lot of profits from several projects before, these senior executives never denied his ability. Several projects that were originally half-dead had almost made a qualitative leap under his promotion.
.
However, a few days ago, Gu Yanshen suddenly left the Qiao family, and Qiao Shiyun came back. However, several projects he had done before had reached their final stage. The three major projects were carried out together. After Qiao Shiyun officially took over, the projects were all gone.
It's almost done, all the buildings have been built. Counting the project that Zijin and the Su family jointly worked on when he first joined the company, Qiao has completed 4 major projects this quarter.
In fact, for large companies like Joe's, they have already been on the road to diversification in the past few years. They have been involved in all aspects. Even if they promote 3 or 4 projects together, the flow of funds will not appear to be diversified.
Too compact.
What's more, in terms of time, Gu Yanshen had already calculated very well. The property will be officially launched probably next month. This is not their first time getting involved in the real estate industry. Although the real estate industry in recent years has not been too prosperous, this time
In several real estate projects, Qiao's people are quite confident.
I just didn't expect that the government would have the final problem.
Without approval from the State Land and Resources Bureau, several real estate projects seemed to be trapped, and there was no way to push them to the market. Two-thirds of Qiao's funds were all trapped in these big companies.
Among the real estate projects, just next month, there will be bidding for the largest piece of land in the western suburbs.
Qiao Shiyun has always had a "special liking" for the western suburbs. Only he knows why. One-third of the entire western suburbs is already under the Qiao family, but there is still a part that is not his.
It is not without reason to acquire the last piece of land in the western suburbs, which is also the most important piece of land.
Although Qiao's business district in the western suburbs has not been very prosperous in recent years, it has brought a lot of people and has survived the most difficult years. If the remaining piece of land is transformed into the largest one in City C,
The entertainment venues will definitely bring huge profits to Joe's.
Qiao Shiyun has been thinking about this project since he came back. He is bound to win it, and there is another company bidding with him. If Qiao cannot get the land by then, it will be equivalent to giving it to the other party.
The best opportunity, plus the funds here are trapped by real estate projects, it is very likely that Qiao will find it difficult to turn around.
Qiao Shiyun is now worried, because he is afraid that the large enterprise he has worked so hard to build will be turned upside down in an instant.
Qiao Shiyun never allowed anyone to covet his position as the king of the business world. He had sacrificed so much and worked hard for so many years, not just to let Qiao's family fail.
…………
The entire conference room was deathly silent.
The Qiao family has not had many interactions with high-ranking government officials in the past few years. Now that the people above them do not approve it, they are completely helpless. Everyone has their heads hanging down, and no one dares to gasp loudly.
.
Fortunately, at this time, the door to the conference room was banged and pushed open from the outside. Everyone looked towards the door. When they saw Qiao Jinglian standing at the door, someone secretly patted their chest, as if they were suddenly relieved.
"I have something to tell you. Should I choose to say it now, here, or go back to your office?"
Qiao Jinglian had not changed her clothes. She had been smoking cigarettes all the way here. The smell of cigarettes was strong, but the people sitting in the office were all men, so she didn't find it too pungent.
Although the man's eyes were sharp, the look on his face showed a bit of fatigue.
Of course Qiao Shiyun was not happy about his son's sudden intrusion, but with so many people present, and it didn't make much sense whether the meeting would continue or not, he simply stood up, pushed the information at hand, and gave instructions.
The secretary said, "Go back and organize all these things for me."
Then he said to everyone: "Don't think that everything is gone. If you take Qiao's high salary and wait until tomorrow's meeting, if everyone is still speechless like a mute, then I will mind you."
, you can choose to express your helplessness to me in another way!"
"The meeting is dismissed!"
…………
Qiao Shijun was full of anger and looked very anxious. He entered the office, and Qiao Jinglian followed closely. After he walked around the executive desk and sat down, he raised his head and looked at his son, his tone also filled with warmth and anger, "You
Look at you, what do you look like? Tell yourself how many days you will not come to work at Joe's? You do know how to attract attention. In such a meeting, you will open the door without saying anything. This is what you, a general manager, should do.
Behavior? Jinglian, you are so inconsistent, how can you expect me to trust you to hand over Qiao's family?"
"I'm not here to talk to you about Qiao's problem. I'm here today just to ask you - where did you take Shen Dongming?"

I continue to ask for monthly tickets. My neck hurts too much and I can’t bear it anymore. I wrote 5,000+. That’s it. I’m going to take a rest.
