081: I don’t want to drag you down

Xu Yao's head was buzzing.

She didn't know how to answer Gu Jun.

Although she doesn't hate Gu Jun, does not hating him mean liking him?

Just like Gu Jun said, a flash marriage is just a way for two people to get to know each other. The biggest difference between her and Gu Jun is that they skipped the dating stage and went straight into marriage. They were legally bound first and then began to understand each other.

She could sense Gu Jun's initial defensiveness.

Gu Jun wouldn't think that she had tricked Gu Haishan into designating her as his grandson's wife before he died, right?

Gu Jun was really overthinking it. Given Xu Yao's situation at the time, marrying a high school senior she wasn't very familiar with wouldn't solve any problems.

However, Gu Jun was wary of her, which was also because she did not trust Gu Jun. Especially every time Xu Yao wanted to get closer to them, Gu Jun chose to escape, and Xu Yao was almost angry to death.

It takes courage for a girl to take the initiative. Does Gu Jun know that?

Xu Yao's mind hadn't figured it out yet, but her mouth was already talking involuntarily: "I don't know... You know that Shen Yan and I have been in a relationship for a few years. I'm not sure if you mind... Also, I owe a lot of debts. My father was very concerned about his reputation and taught me that people should not be spineless, so I will definitely help him pay off his debts... I don't want to drag you down."

As a roommate-type couple, Xu Yao would never ask Gu Jun for help.

Gu Jun wants to be a real couple, but Xu Yao wants to back off.

Real couples always share weal and woe. She doesn't want to drag Gu Jun into this and let him bear the debt together!

Xu Yao repeatedly emphasized, "My dad really owes a lot of money—"

Gu Jun just looked at her quietly. "Then, do you have anything else to say besides this?"

Xu Yao choked and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Gu Jun didn't seem to care that she had to pay off her father's debt?

Even if the two signed a prenuptial agreement, Gu Jun would not have to pay off the debts. They were husband and wife, and it would be very unfair to Gu Jun if all the money Xu Yao earned was used to pay off the debts. It meant that the rest of the family expenses would have to be borne by Gu Jun alone - at least until Xu Yao paid off her debts.

Is Gu Jun indifferent because he can make money himself?

Xu Yao's mind was in a mess. Chen Yan made more money than Gu Jun from his family's business, and he was still concerned about her having to pay off his father's debts. Of course, Chen Yan never said this out loud, but he hinted to Xu Yao: the Xu family was bankrupt anyway, so everything should be done according to the legal process. Meaning that whatever could be paid off during the bankruptcy liquidation would be considered as the final payment. Since Xu Yao didn't inherit the estate, she wouldn't have to worry about the debts... So Chen Yan did care. After all, it was such a large amount of debt, so it was normal for a rich second-generation to be terrified!

The Shen family has a financial background, and she and Shen Yan have had a relationship for several years, so Shen Yan still cares about her.

Gu Jun has no family background, and she and Gu Jun had a flash marriage not long ago. How obsessed with love must Gu Jun be to not care?

Xu Yao was so flustered that she couldn't even look Gu Jun in the eye. "Let me think about it, and you should think about it yourself too!"

After saying that, she quickly rushed back to her room.

After hearing what Xu Yao said, Gu Jun stood there and thought carefully for three seconds. After three seconds of careful consideration, Gu Jun did not regret his impulsive behavior tonight.

Isn't it normal for young men and women to develop feelings for each other when they are in the same room and don't dislike each other?

Gu Jun's affection for Xu Yao is not sympathy. He is not qualified to sympathize with Xu Yao. Xu Yao is only thin in appearance but very strong in heart. Gu Jun admires her strength and optimism!

Gu Jun didn't force Xu Yao to give an answer. After a while, Xu Yao rushed out and explained awkwardly: "My things are still in your room."

"I'll help you move it."

Gu Jun meant well, but Xu Yao overreacted as if she had been stabbed. "No, no, I can move it myself."

Xu Yao moved all her personal belongings back to the second bedroom as quickly as possible.

In a hurry, she made a mistake and left a pink toothbrush in the bathroom of Gu Jun's bedroom.

There were two toothbrushes in the cup, one was Xu Yao's pink toothbrush and the other was Gu Jun's Bluetooth toothbrush.

Gu Jun felt that the two toothbrushes were meant to be placed together, as pink and blue went well together.

In the second bedroom, Xu Yao also discovered that she had leaked something.

Go knock on Gu Jun’s door again and ask for it?

Forget it, it’s just a toothbrush. Xu Yao decided to find a new one.

That night, Xu Yao couldn't sleep, but Gu Jun slept soundly.

When Gu Jun woke up, Xu Yao was no longer at home. There was a sandwich and a glass of milk on the dining table. Gu Jun smiled. She was more cowardly than anyone else in words, but in actions she cared about him. Xu Yao was just so hypocritical!

Gu Jun called Xu Yao.

After the call was connected, Xu Yao explained as if to cover up her mistake: "I had a photo shoot that started very early today, so I left before you got up!"

Gu Jun suppressed his laughter. "Wasn't your shoot scheduled for this afternoon? Did you change the date at the last minute? I wanted to ask where you keep the scented tea at home. I've finished all the ones I brought to the office."

——So you’re asking about scented tea!

Xu Yao's heart was so nervous that it almost jumped out of her throat.

"In the left drawer of the sideboard."

Xu Yao was afraid of saying more and making mistakes, so she quickly hung up the phone. Gu Jun finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

…

Everyone could see that Gu Jun was in a good mood today.

The people in the company were unaware of the situation and thought that this was the reason why the company successfully won the land.

Jiang Zhiyan did not hide the fact that he had bought the land from anyone, and everyone at Huahu was very happy, including the most ordinary employees.

The company is going to build its own building!

Jiang Zhiyan arrived at the company whistling, and went straight to Gu Jun's office, proudly claiming credit: "I spread the news about buying land and building a building, and everyone in the company is looking forward to it. I feel like their work enthusiasm has increased again."

Huahu has always been generous. Employees know that the company has money to build a building, so of course it will not be stingy in giving them bonuses. Everyone is guessing whether this year's year-end bonus will be more than last year's.

Gu Jun also recognized Jiang Zhiyan's vision. "That old fox, Shen Zhongjun, took a piece of land he had no interest in and sold it. This not only eased the relationship between the Shen family and Hua Hu, but also disgusted his disliked brother. This old fox really has two brushes."

Therefore, the Shen family lost to Huahu not because Shen Zhongjun and his people were incompetent, but because the similar companies they invested in lost to Huahu in terms of product functions and user promotion. Gu Jun was still very wary of business veterans like Shen Zhongjun.

Jiang Zhiyan laughed, "The Shen family is quite interesting. The gossip your wife said is probably true. Shen Yan's father, Shen Shuping, is probably the illegitimate child of a woman outside. That's why Shen Zhongjun asked Hua Hu to cut off Shen Shuping's beard. Shen Shuping is now as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Shen Yan has been asking me out all the time. They don't think that Hua Hu will give up the land they bought, right?"

Jiang Zhiyan complained while stealing glances at Gu Jun.

Gu Jun had said before that there was something wrong with the land, but Jiang Zhiyan didn't quite believe it.

After buying the land, Jiang Zhiyan learned that Shen Shuping and Wen Zhicheng were other bidders, and Jiang Zhiyan also figured out something unusual.

That piece of land used to belong to Xu Qinghua.

One of the people who wants to bid for the land now is Shen Shuping, who almost became Xu Yao's father-in-law.

The other Wen Zhicheng is now Xu Yao's stepfather.

Jiang Zhiyan smiled meaningfully: "These 'relatives' of your wife are indeed quite interesting!"
