Two days ago, Gu Yichen was living her happy life of studying abroad at the Engineering College in New York.
Suddenly, she received a call from Lin Zongnan, her father's secretary, saying that her father was suddenly critically ill and hospitalized, and asked her to return to China as soon as possible!
She was immediately frightened to death. With the comfort and help of her best friend Ye Anran, she was able to successfully board the fastest flight to city C.
As soon as she left the airport, she went straight to her fiancé Xiao Mu's Xiao Company...
On the plane, she had already briefly browsed the online reports about her father, and vaguely guessed that her father was in a fit of rage because the company was facing bankruptcy and was about to be acquired, and that's when he suddenly collapsed.
Now, the only person who can help Gu and is willing to lend a helping hand is her fiancé Xiao Mu.
The Xiao family and the Gu family were family friends, and the two families had arranged this marriage for Gu Yichen and Xiao Mu a long time ago.
In the past few years, the Xiao family has grown bigger and bigger, and the Gu family has also developed steadily. The Xiao family is even more eager to marry into the Gu family so that they can join forces and stand proudly in the business world.
Therefore, the two elders of the Xiao family always treated Gu Yichen with great affection and care. As long as she asked, Mrs. Xiao would definitely be willing to help.
Gu Yichen rushed to Xiao's house in a hurry, and happened to meet Mrs. Xiao in the lobby. Before she could say hello, she received a cold look from the other party, "What are you doing here?"
Gu Yichen hesitated and said that she wanted to go to Xiao Mu. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xiao sneered contemptuously, "Are you going to ask Xiao Mu to cancel the plan to acquire your Gu family?"
What? The person who acquired the Gu family was actually the Xiao family!
A string broke in his mind, and the sudden truth shocked Gu Yichen to the point of losing all his blood: Childhood sweethearts, the beautiful years of childhood sweethearts, Brother Mu, have you forgotten? You are the person closest to me, how could you do this?
To my dad?
Gu's family is the precious effort that my father has worked hard to save all his life!
Mrs. Xiao's kind words of persuasion came to her ears again, "Yichen, don't blame us for turning our backs on us. Even if we don't acquire Gu's, given the current situation of Gu's, there will be other companies to acquire it. What's more,
, we also looked at past sentiments, and the bid was two points higher than the market estimate..."
Gu Yichen was so angry that she was shaking all over. She had gone too far to bully others! According to her opinion, could it be possible that the Gu family would have to kneel down and thank the Xiao family for their acquisition?
With tears in her eyes, she asked angrily, "Aunt, have you forgotten? Xiao Mu is my fiancé——"
Mrs. Xiao's graceful face was filled with smiles, "Yichen, let's not mention the engagement of the children's play house. You see, our Xiao Mu is so busy every day and has no time to accompany you. He still likes you all the time.
It's really wronging you to lose your temper with the young master and ask you to give in to him! Today, my aunt will make the decision and cancel your marriage with Xiao Mu! In order to avoid delaying Yichen's life-long event, don't you think so?
"
The words were spoken in a decent and considerate way, with a clear sense of justice, but Gu Yichen heard the Xiao family's intention to regret the marriage.
Her pretty little face turned white with anger, she clenched her fists tightly, and her sharp nails dug deeply into her flesh, but she still couldn't feel the pain: it was the first time she experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships.
The sorrow and indignation are so painful that they pierce blood.
She heard herself ask in a difficult voice, "Is this also what Xiao Mu meant?"
Brother Mu, is this the extent of what you said about "loving me forever"?
