Lin Yue'er stared at him blankly. In front of him, any words seemed to fade away. She couldn't find anyone who could respond to him.
At this time, the internal line on the table rang, waking her up. Lin Yue'er immediately left him, calmed down, and then picked up. After listening to the report at the front desk, she frowned in confusion, "Does anyone know me?"
She put down the phone, and Gu Xicen saw her eyes narrowed in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Someone is looking for me. I'll go out and take a look." She wasn't sure who it was and wanted to meet him first.
"I'll accompany you."
Not many people here know Lin Yue'er's true identity. It is indeed somewhat reliable to come to her and ask her by name. Therefore, Gu Xicen followed her out of the office and came to the door.
When they saw the old man standing there, they were all stunned.
Gu Changtian also turned around to see them. When his eyes fell on Gu Xicen, he immediately narrowed his eyes in surprise.
"Grandpa Gu?" Lin Yuer finally came to his senses and stepped forward, "Why...are you here?"
Gu Xicen looked at her grandfather with a calm look on her face, "Grandpa."
Gu Changtian pursed his lips and stared at him, his face full of anger, "Xicen, what are you doing here?"
Lin Yue'er frowned, "Grandpa Gu, Xi Cen..."
There was a big hand on the shoulder, gently holding her down. Lin Yuer turned around, a little worried. Gu Xicen smiled at her and said, "I want to talk to grandpa alone."
Lin Yue'er bit her lip, knowing that Xi Cen would be in trouble explaining if she was suddenly bumped into by Grandpa Gu, but since he said so, she couldn't explain it to him any more, so she nodded, "That's it.
Go to my office."
Gu Changtian's sharp gaze kept circling the two of them, and he vaguely noticed something. His face became even more ugly, and he followed Lin Yuer to her office calmly.
"Grandpa Gu, please sit down and I'll make tea."
Lin Yue'er still respected Gu Changtian. No matter what happened to Gu Wangchuan, he showed up when he needed help the most. Lin Yue'er would never forget this kindness.
Gu Changtian forced his smile and nodded gently.
After waiting to leave, the smile on Gu Changtian's face suddenly disappeared, and his slightly cold eyes glanced at Gu Xicen, "During this time, have you been with Xiaoyue?"
Gu Xicen didn't hide anything and replied calmly, "Yes."
Gu Changtian took a deep breath, "At that time, you left the company in a hurry just to be with her?"
Gu Xicen responded again, "Yeah."
“So, ‘Xiang’ was also funded by you?”
"yes."
Gu Changtian smiled coldly, "I'm still wondering, where did Xiaoyue get the money to create a brand? It turns out that you are the one behind it! Xicen, you are really my good grandson.
!”
Gu Changtian's chest heaved. What he couldn't stand the most was being deceived by his descendants. To him, this was a contempt for the family and a provocation to his majesty!
"You finance Xiaoyue and let her deal with your own company? Xicen, what are you thinking about?!" Gu Changtian was angry.
Gu Xicen replied calmly, "Grandpa, I just wanted to help her, I didn't think too much about it."
"No? You won't?!" Gu Changtian stood up and pointed directly at him, "No matter what happens to Xiaoyue and Wangchuan, she is your sister-in-law in name! She wants to leave, and instead of stopping you, you take her away.
, do you take your eldest brother and me seriously? Do you help her just to cultivate a competitor? Do you want to get the company? If so, then let me tell you, the company belongs to your eldest brother, you don’t even have to think about it.
I think there is no way I can leave it to you, so just give up on it!"
Gu Changtian was so angry that he spoke eloquently. Gu Xicen slowly lowered his eyes, hiding a hint of hurt in his eyes, "I will not compete with my eldest brother for the company. If grandpa is worried, I will notarize and voluntarily give up the right to continue.
"
"Do you think I will believe it?" Gu Changzhen was so angry that his face turned slightly red, "Your elder brother tried his best to win back Xiaoyue, but you tried so hard to hold him back. It was really in vain.
I’ve loved you so much since I was little!”
This sentence directly hit Gu Xicen's heart. He didn't care about anything, but the only thing he couldn't feel relieved about was apologizing to his eldest brother.
Outside the door, Lin Yue'er stood in front of the door. When she heard Gu Changtian scolding Xi Cen, she felt guilty at first. When she heard Gu Changtian's words became more and more cruel, the expression on her face became tense, and she couldn't hide the trace.
Angry.
For a long time, Gu Changtian seemed to have stabilized his emotions, stared at the person in front of him, and said coldly, "Xicen, if you know you were wrong now, immediately persuade Xiaoyue to go back and rebuild the old relationship with your elder brother. Give the business here to Wang.
Chuan, he will take care of it. Also," his eyes darkened again, he stared at him closely, and warned, "Don't try to trick Xiao Yue again! I won't allow such immoral things to happen again!"
It was only then that Gu Xicen raised his head and said firmly, "This studio belongs to her, and I will not make any decisions for her." After a pause, he said firmly, "I like her, and I will not make any decisions for her."
It has nothing to do with eldest brother’s family affection.”
Gu Changtian was completely angered by his rebuttal without any room for correction. He raised his hand and slapped his grandson hard on the face.
Gu Xicen didn't even say a word and just accepted it.
At this moment, the door was pushed open suddenly, and Lin Yuer stood at the door with an angry look on his face.
"Xiao Yue?" Gu Changtian turned around and saw that it was her. He calmed down and was about to speak. She stepped forward and blocked Gu Xicen behind her. She raised her head and looked directly at him, "Grandpa Gu."
, 'Xiang' was founded by me, if you have any questions, just ask me, why bother Xi Cen?"
Gu Changtian hesitated for a moment, then his face turned a little ugly, "Xiaoyue, what we are talking about is not just this one, you'd better not get involved."
"Grandpa Gu, no matter what Gu Wangchuan has done, I am always grateful to you. However, this does not mean that you can control my life and my choices!" Lin Yuer was really angry, even if she was
She had always respected Grandpa Gu, but she couldn't control her anger. How could he be so partial to Gu Wangchuan? Didn't he know how much what he just said hurt Gu Xicen? He was also his other grandson.
!
When Gu Changtian came here today, he originally wanted to help Gu Wangchuan persuade Lin Yue'er to turn back, but the sudden appearance of Gu Xicen made him unable to control his emotions for a moment, and instead angered Lin Yue'er. This was something he didn't expect.
Unreached.
He knew the importance of Lin Yuer better than anyone else. As the only descendant of the Xiangfen family, he had to win her over! However, being accused like this by a junior, he couldn't help but face her.
To admit his mistake, he could only frown, sullen, and say nothing.
Gu Xicen was behind Lin Yuer and could clearly see her body shaking with anger and her clenched fists. For so long, except when it came to his eldest brother and Yan Xiaojun, she had never been so angry for anyone.
This discovery made him feel less heavy, and the slap Grandpa just slapped didn't seem so painful.
"Grandpa Gu, if you are here to visit me, I am very happy, but if you are here for Gu Wangchuan, then we may have nothing to talk about." Lin Yue'er's mind was still very clear, Gu Changtian
He kept saying that Gu Xicen betrayed his eldest brother and came here because of that person.
Gu Changtian was robbed by her, and his expression became even more ugly, "Xiao Yue, don't be too extreme in everything. You are still husband and wife, why do you need to act like enemies?"
"Grandpa Gu, you reminded me." Lin Yue'er took a deep breath and said, "I will immediately dissolve our marriage with Gu Wangchuan. When the time comes, even if we are enemies, it won't be an exaggeration."
Gu Changtian was stunned, "Xiaoyue, you——"
However, after not seeing him for a year, Lin Yuer's changes were beyond his expectation. He was no longer so gentle and well-behaved, but had a decisive and strong aura everywhere, leaving him unable to even persuade him.
Gu Changtian's face was deep, covered with sullenness and embarrassment, "Xiaoyue, you are still angry now, and grandpa doesn't care about you. By the way, Aunt Hua misses you very much and wants you to come home for dinner another day. That's it, I
Let’s go first.”
"Grandpa Gu, please leave slowly without seeing me off."
When Gu Changtian walked to the door, he glared at Gu Xicen again and then left with a flourish.
Lin Yuer immediately turned around and asked, "Did it hurt?"
Gu Xicen kept his eyes lowered and nodded slowly.
"Wait here." Lin Yuer went out in a muffled voice, found an ice pack, and applied it to his face. "The swelling will subside in a while."
Gu Xicen remained silent and seemed to be in a bad mood. Lin Yuer sat opposite him and stared at him, "When your grandpa hit you, why didn't you avoid it?"
"He is an old man, so a beating won't do anything." He said calmly, "It'll be good if it can calm him down."
"It's not like you don't know Grandpa Gu's temper. How could he calm down? Unless you want to listen to him and do what he says. Can you do it?"
Gu Xicen raised her gentle eyes and shook her head with a very sincere expression, "I will not give you up to my eldest brother."
Lin Yue'er paused and opened his mouth, "I...that's not what I'm talking about."
Gu Xicen put down the ice pack, and the slightly red and swollen palm mark on her handsome, sculpture-like cheek was really an eyesore. He held her hand, held it with compassion, and said softly, "You're right, not
People can make choices for me. So, I will be sorry, but I will not regret it."
"You..." Lin Yuer wanted to take out his hand, but he held it tightly, smiled, and said, "I like the way you stood up for me just now. This is the first time a woman has done this for me."
Lin Yue'er blushed again unknowingly. At that time, she didn't think so much at all, and she didn't know where the courage came from, so she just did it. But listening to what he said, the anger she just felt was a miracle.
He disappeared as if, staring at his face, his gentle eyes began to become a little helpless.
