Now that Qiao Jingting has seized the opportunity, she will not give up and press forward step by step, "Shen Zijin, just tell me the truth. Tell my dad, did he mistrust you? When you were in England,
Have you already felt sorry for my brother?"
Zijin's face turned even paler. She was not a good liar. Things in England were always a thorn in her heart. No matter how stubborn she was, the thorn stuck in her throat and she just said no.
Speak up.
What's more, behind her stood Gu Yanshen...the male protagonist in that incident...
What was she going to say?
"Say it! Aren't you usually very talkative? Why don't you talk?"
When Qiao Jingting saw Zijin standing like this, her eyes lowered, but her whole body was clearly filled with nervousness and uneasiness, she was even more sure of her guess - it seemed that what Sister-in-law Lingling said was not wrong at all.
This woman really had already had an affair with others when she was in the UK. Fortunately, she had the nerve to come back. Now, she is going to tear off her hypocrisy!
"Shen Zijin, my father has always asked me to call you sister-in-law, but I don't care. I just know that you, who love vain women, are despicable at heart. You are sorry for my brother, you have brought several cuckolds to my brother.
Already? Can you count them yourself?"
“…”
"You are so pale, am I right?" Qiao Jingting's face was full of pride, her eyes were as sharp as arrows, and she was aggressive, "Don't you even dare to look at people? Shen Zijin, it turns out you are really such a wanton person.
Woman, thanks to my father who has always trusted you so much and gave you 5% of Qiao’s shares, you will do that kind of thing with other men as soon as you turn around! You really make me feel sick!"
"Jingting, that's enough, shut up!"
Qiao Jingting talked more and more, and Qiao Shiyun finally couldn't bear to listen anymore. She shouted to stop her from continuing, and then turned to look at Zi Jin. Her face was indeed very pale, and her whole body was tense.
Anyone would seem to doubt whether what Qiao Jingting just said was true - it hit the nail on the head.
Qiao Shiyun tightened the crutch in his hand and pondered for a moment before speaking again, "...Zijin, if you have any grievances, just tell dad. Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will make the decision for you. You are in my heart."
Always a good kid..."
After all, he was still partial to Zi Jin. Even Zi Jin didn't understand this favoritism and was flattered.
But for Qiao Jingting, it made her go crazy with jealousy.
"Dad, are you making a mistake? Even if you protected her before, now that the evidence is conclusive, you still protect her?"
"Those are all your one-sided words. This kind of thing can be big or small. You don't have any evidence, so don't talk nonsense!" Qiao Shiyun knocked the cane in his hand heavily and shouted in a low voice.
"Am I talking nonsense?" Qiao Jingting sneered, stretched out her slender finger and pointed directly at Zijin's nose, "Look at her face, her zombie-like face says it all. If she hadn't done anything, she
Why don’t you refute?!”
"You can also try taking a cold bath for one night, and then have a high fever for one night, and see if your face will be as white as a ghost the next day."
A deep male voice suddenly broke in. Gu Yanshen, who had been silent all this time, spoke up now. His casual tone made it seem that he was a little careless when he spoke. His eyes quickly glanced at Qiao Jingting beside him, and the corners of his lips raised.
The arc of the sentence, with a bit of coldness, "She went to city B on a business trip with me. As for the drunkenness, I have to bear a certain responsibility, and what you call hanging out with other men after being drunk..."
When Gu Yanshen said this, he paused for a moment, then looked at Qiao Shiyun and smiled softly, "It seems that the man who was with her that night was me. Are you doubting me?"
Qiao Jingting never expected that Gu Yanshen would actually say such a thing. A trace of unnaturalness flashed across her face. The arrogance and domineering look on her originally delicately made-up face miraculously disappeared at this time. Instead, she bit her with aggrieved expression.
He pursed his lips and his tone of rebuttal became much softer, "...I didn't say that the man was you, but the news I got is absolutely true..."
"The news you got?" Gu Yan raised his eyebrows deeply, interrupted her, and his voice became a little deeper, "Where did you get the so-called true news?"
"I……"
Qiao Jingting opened her mouth, but was speechless for a moment. A name was already in her throat, but she still paused.
——"Tingting, I'm telling you this, don't say it's me. I'm also a reporter friend who secretly gave me the news. After all, it's about your Qiao family. If your brother or your parents find out,
, they thought it was me who framed that Shen Zijin, so you must keep it a secret."
…………
These words were the last words Xie Lingxi said to herself. At this moment, they flashed through her mind very clearly.
Although Qiao Jingting is unruly, she has always listened to Xie Lingxi's words. Of course, part of the reason is because Xie Lingxi used to be her senior sister. When she and Qiao Jinglian were in love, Qiao Jingting already liked the handsome one who was good to her.
’s big sister.
No, she can't say it.
"...Don't care where I heard it from. Anyway, what I said is the truth, otherwise she wouldn't be speechless!"
"Is it?"
Gu Yanshen snorted emotionlessly and lowered his eyes to look at the woman beside him who had not made any sound but whose body was still tense. The following words were obviously meant for Zijin, "Don't you want to explain?"
Zi Jin heard that his words were directed at him, but what was the explanation?
She didn't think there was anything to explain, because those words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them out...
In City B, she didn't have sex with anyone, but in the end Gu Yanshen still kissed her... This kind of guilt was no less severe than sleeping with another man. And in England... there was nothing she could do about it.
Go and refute Qiao Jingting swornly.
Because lying is not her strong point, and she can't stand her own conscience. Even if it's not for Qiao Jinglian, she still feels that she has failed someone and protects her elder Qiao Shiyun wholeheartedly.
"It seems you don't want to explain."
How could Gu Yanshen not know what this woman was trying to do? He raised his eyes calmly and looked at Qiao Shiyun, "Since the parties involved don't want to say more about this matter, naturally I can't explain it on my behalf. But
, if you want to know the truth, you can wait and read the newspaper tomorrow. City B and City C are not even close to each other. Qiao's young mistress cheated on her in City B... Hehe, such big news will definitely be on the headlines tomorrow.
.”
After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs.
Zijin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, no one knew that Gu Yanshen was standing beside her, which would be the greatest pressure on her when she was asked to face the Qiao family.
"Zijin, you go up and rest first."
Qiao Shiyun is old and not confused. Even though he had some doubts in his heart when he heard his daughter say those words before, Gu Yanshen's few words completely dispelled his doubts. He had always been protective of Dian Zijin, and now even more so
Without asking any more questions, "Don't take Jingting's words to heart. I don't know where this girl heard the rumors... She looks ugly. Is she sick? Do you want Dr. Zheng to come over?"
"No need." Zijin waved his hand quickly and just wanted to go back to the room quickly, "Dad, I'm fine. I'll go up and rest first."
Qiao Shiyun nodded, but Qiao Jingting was unwilling to accept it, "Shen Zijin, please explain the matter clearly..."
"That's enough, shut up!"
Qiao Shiyun shouted sharply and knocked the ground hard with the cane in his hand. Qiao Jingting immediately shrank her neck. She had always been a little afraid of her father, "Aren't you going to send clothes to your mother? Leave now, I will go with you!"
"
"dad……"
"Zhong, go to the garage and drive the car out."
…………
※※※※※
Zijin stood at the corner of the stairs, listening to the scattered sounds downstairs. Qiao Shiyun and Qiao Jingting went out together. Li Muhua probably left Qiao's house because of himself.
She leaned against the wall softly, closed her eyes, and breathed out softly.
She stretched out her hand and pressed her aching temples. As soon as Zijin opened her eyes, she saw a pair of white men's slippers in front of her. Her heart skipped a beat and she raised her head suddenly, "...you, when were you standing here?"
of?"
She only closed her eyes for less than five seconds. Why was he suddenly standing in front of her without making a sound?
"Why are you so nervous? Look at your face. You have forgotten everything I said to you, huh?"
Gu Yan frowned deeply and looked at the little face in front of him. It was already sickly and haggard, and now it looked even pale and weak due to nervousness. He stretched out his hand and directly supported most of her body on one side.
He approached Zijin and said, "Look at me and answer my question, what did I tell you before?"
Zi Jin's eyes flashed, but he refused to meet his gaze. He held his breath and said word by word: "...you, stay away from me, this is the Qiao family."
"So what?" Gu Yanshen looked completely disapproving and smiled softly, "They are all gone and there is no one at home now."
There is no one at home...so, can he be so unscrupulous?
This feeling of secrecy made Zijin ashamed, because she felt as if she was having an affair with Gu Yanshen.
And this man is his husband's biological brother.
As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, she couldn't hold it back. She almost instinctively stretched out her hand and pushed it on Gu Yanshen's chest. However, before she could use her strength, Gu Yanshen grabbed her wrist with his backhand, and her expression suddenly changed.
Suddenly, Gu Yanshen pulled him towards the other end of the corridor.
"...What are you doing? Let me go, hey, don't do this..." She didn't dare to be too loud. Qiao Shiyun and Qiao Jingting must have left. She had heard the sound of the car's engine just now, but there were still servants at home.
, if they see it, will she still be a human being?
"...Gu Yanshen, Gu Yanshen...Gu Yanshen, I tell you to let go...ah——"
Her body was suddenly pressed against the door panel. Gu Yanshen grabbed her waist with one hand and pushed her back. His other hand went around her waist and pressed on the doorknob. His deep voice was deliberately lowered.
It seemed even more sexy, "You choose for yourself, should you go to your room or mine?"
…………
Zijin stared at him dumbfounded. His heartbeat was too fast and his breathing was too rapid. Maybe his head was still a little mushy after the high fever last night, so he couldn't react at all for a while. What exactly did he say just now?
What's the meaning.
"Don't you want to choose? Then I will help you choose."
The door behind her suddenly opened. Zijin was leaning on the doorknob. As soon as the door opened, she fell down. Fortunately, Gu Yanshen held her waist with one hand, but she still reached out instinctively, just wanting to
She was grabbing onto something to prevent herself from falling, but without thinking, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.
The door slammed shut, and with a sudden spin, Zijin was pressed against the wall again. Gu Yanshen's tall body was approaching inch by inch. Her breathing was messed up, and when she realized what she was doing, she was shocked to realize that she was still holding his neck.
Her face immediately turned red. Zi Jin wanted to let go, but Gu Yanshen pressed her too tight. The two bodies were so close to each other that she couldn't let go of her hands. In a hurry, she opened her mouth and
Said: "...What are you doing? Gu Yanshen, are you crazy? Go away quickly..."
"When you are awake, you keep me far away from you, but when you are in a daze, you hold my waist tightly. What do you think is the truth from a duplicitous woman like you?
"
The hot breath was close at hand. Every time Gu Yanshen said a word, his slightly cool fingertips gently brushed her cheek. In the end, he directly clasped her chin. With a little force, Zijin couldn't avoid it.
As far as the eye could see, there was this intoxicatingly handsome face, and the scratches on his face that had faded a bit.
Her heartbeat was completely messed up, her breathing was messed up, as if the whole world had been turned upside down, and she couldn't think properly, so she answered a sentence numbly.
"……I do not know what you're talking about."
"It doesn't matter if you don't know. I can help you recall it."
“…”
Gu Yanshen tightened his hold on her chin slightly, then aimed at her slightly opened red lips and kissed her.
Zijin's breath suddenly suffocated, and the next second, she suddenly felt the tip of his flexible tongue entering her mouth. Before she could react, her tongue had been sucked hard by him. It hurt her, but she couldn't help it.
With a sound, she wanted to push away, but when she moved her hands, she realized that she was still holding his neck, and his hard body was even closer to her. The hand that was originally holding her slim waist roughly lifted up her clothes, and directly
He reached up, covered the softness of her chest, and squeezed hard.
"Um……"
The subtle moans and groans overflowed from each other's lips. Zijin was startled by his own voice. Is this her voice? How could her voice... become like this... as if she was in an extreme state?
In the midst of her despair, she suddenly regained some sense of reason. She clenched her palms into fists and slapped him hard on the back, still yelling vaguely.
"Um...don't, don't be like this...let me go..."
The force of Gu Yanshen's hand became stronger. The more she struggled, the more he pushed her against the wall. Finally, he pressed his thin lips against hers and gasped, "This way, don't you remember it, huh?"
His voice was very dark and depressing. Zijin's whole body felt hot when he heard it. He had no strength to push him away, so he could only hit his back time and time again, almost crying, "...let go,
Let me go, I hate you, Gu Yanshen, I hate you!"
"hate me?"
He pushed her away slightly, clasped her chin, raised her red eyes, and snorted coldly, "So, in the morning in City B, I asked you to come down for breakfast, so you didn't come on purpose.
?You bought your own ticket and went back to city C without saying a word? I called you, and you still dared to hang up on me?"
“…”
"Lift your head and look at me."
Zijin turned away stubbornly, refusing to meet his gaze. Seeing her like this, Gu Yanshen tightened his hold on her jaw a little harder. She was in pain, and the grievances in her heart were overwhelming. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore, and she turned around.
The fist landed heavily on his hard back, but it was her hand that hurt. She pinched her neck and said loudly: "...Mr. Gu, you are in City B with a beautiful woman in your arms. I went over to disturb you. I still don't want to bother you."
As for being so ignorant. Anyway, the contract has been negotiated. I will fly back to City C by myself. Isn’t it just what you want? As for you calling me, I was already off work at that time. I have the right not to answer a stranger’s call.
Number."
"You, Mr. Gu, let me go, you're hurting me!"
Gu Yan's eyes flashed deeply, and the hand that was holding her jaw slowly released, but his body was still pressed against hers. He narrowed his eyes, "What beauty is in your arms?"
Zijin really wanted to kick him in the ass. Did he do it on purpose?
She gritted her teeth and said: "I have no interest in bringing up such boring things anymore. I have answered all your questions. Can you let go of me? Please respect yourself..."
"Another boring thing, and you want me to respect myself?"
Gu Yanshen laughed softly as if he had heard a big joke. He had exquisite facial features and was usually calm and restrained with a serious smile. But this kind of man is the most deadly when he really stretches his eyebrows and smiles.
, as if a star suddenly flashed, Zijin felt dazzled, and at the moment she was unaware of it, it shook her already shaky heart.
"But now that I think about it, what you just said made me feel like you were jealous?"
"——You're talking nonsense!"
The word "jealousy" was like a sharp needle, piercing her heart in an instant. In the most sensitive place, Zijin was like a cat with angry fur. He jumped up and retorted, "Who is jealous? Don't talk nonsense.
Let go, let go of me."
"Shen Zijin."
Her hands were so disobedient that Gu Yanshen simply reached over and pressed her hands against the wall. His hot breath was in his ears, and his free hand slowly slid from her jade-like skin.
Go down, from the chest to the waist, and on the inside of her thighs, "Did you come to the restaurant this morning? I met that woman when I was in the UK and had business negotiations with her. She is not my type.
"
Zijin's whole body trembled uncontrollably, but her whole body was imprisoned by him. She couldn't move at all, and her voice was trembling when she spoke, "...I, I don't care what your relationship is with that woman, you don't have to explain to me.
, I’m not interested in knowing, your hands... Gu Yanshen, you... um..."
The moment the last slight sound came out, Zijin was already biting his lip.
There was a thin layer of calluses on Gu Yanshen's fingers and palms. This slightly rough feeling, when it came into contact with her smooth skin, seemed to carry a magical power, making Zijin couldn't help but tremble.
The trembling, numbing feeling slowly penetrated into her body along her skin. She felt that she would collapse if she continued like this.
"...You, don't do this." She was almost crying, her legs couldn't help but tremble.
Gu Yanshen's fingers slowly lifted up from the inside of her thigh, went around her slender waist, and pressed her whole body into his arms. His thin lips approached her, feeling her resistance, and he
She smiled softly, and her chest also vibrated. A deep male voice was above her head, "When I'm awake, I'm always so disobedient. Think about it, did we have something unfinished last night?"
You took the initiative to do this, so you owe it to me first. When you remember it, I will ask you to finish it."
After he finished speaking, he released his grip on her.
Zijin's whole body felt weak and he leaned against the wall feebly.
Gu Yanshen's hand was already on the doorknob, and he turned to look at her again, "Take the medicine and go to bed early. When you get to the company tomorrow, come to me first."
After he finished speaking, he opened the door and left.
Only then did Zijin dare to breathe heavily, but what he said over and over again in his mind was what he said.
——Think carefully, did we have something unfinished last night? When you remember it, I will ask you to finish it.
…………
What's up?
Last night...did something happen? Or did she take the initiative? What on earth was it? Why, she had no impression at all...
※※※※※
Xie Lingxi was woken up by the ringtone of her cell phone. Qiao Jinglian came back at midnight last night. She was afraid that it would disturb his rest, so she quickly turned off the cell phone and then gently stepped out of bed.
He walked into another bedroom and called back the phone call he just made, "Are you back? Prepare the photos I asked you to prepare before. If nothing else happens, there will be news today. Let me know when the time comes.
What you do, remember to make the performance more exciting."
She hung up the phone, reached out to smooth her long hair, and slowly touched her belly with her fingers. She looked down at her flat belly, but her eyes were all cold.
Shen Zijin, today will definitely be your most exciting day!
Turning around and opening the door, the cold expression on his face suddenly froze.
