At this moment, with a click, the door of the conference room opened and several figures entered.

The person walking in front was a tall man in his forties, with a well-maintained body, dressed in a suit and tie, without any of the greasy look of his peers.

His facial features are handsome and deep, his sharp eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts, and there is a mole under his eyes, which is very eye-catching.

Every gesture and movement exudes the elegance and confidence that is unique to a mature man, just like a cup of brewed tea, leaving an endless aftertaste.

Following behind him was another young man who looked somewhat similar to him and also had an extraordinary aura. It was obvious that they were father and son.

While Ning Yichu was looking at him, the other person's eyes also fell on her.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the man opposite her had an... indescribable sense of familiarity!

"Hello, Mr. Mo—"

The other party smiled slightly.

Then, he turned to look at Ning Yichu with a meaningful look in his eyes, "Hello, Miss Ning, I've heard a lot about you!"

Mo Boyu stood up and nodded, "Boss Gu, Little Boss Gu, you're here."

Mr. Gu?

Ning Yichu was stunned.

He immediately understood the other party's identity, the chairman of Gu Group, Gu Sinan.

I guess the young man with a serious look behind him is the current CEO of Gu Group, Gu Chengye, right?

Ning Yichu was a little surprised. He never expected that the cooperative business this time would be Gu's!

In the imperial capital, the Gu and Li families were known as the Twin Dragons, running neck and neck, yet constantly engaged in open and covert struggles. He was somehow related to Li Lingyang...

And they specifically asked to see me?

However, since she is an employee of the Arctic Group, she must complete her work no matter who her partner is.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, it's an honor to meet you..."

She extended her hand to the two of them, a proper and elegant smile on her face.

Gu Sinan looked at her face, slightly distracted for a second, and then disappeared in a flash. He simply shook hands with her and said, "I've heard that there is a top jade carver in the Arctic. After meeting him today, he is indeed excellent."

"Let's sit down and talk slowly..." Mo Boyu reminded calmly. Thinking of his mother's recent abnormal behavior, there was a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.

Following his reminder, everyone sat down calmly and brought up the cooperation case.

As a century-old family, the Gu Group holds an anniversary celebration every year. This year, it plans to customize some excellent jade carvings in a unique way, on the one hand to show the confidence of the Gu Group, and on the other hand to select some of them as rewards for outstanding employees of the year.

Looking at the entire imperial capital, Ning Yichu from the Arctic Group is in the limelight and is the most suitable person.

Both parties were very interested, and after finalizing some details, they quickly asked a lawyer to draft the contract.

At this time, Gu Sinan crossed his hands and looked in the direction of Ning Yichu.

"Ms. Ning has designed countless outstanding jade carvings and set sales records for the Arctic Group. I'm very optimistic about you, Mr. Gu. Will you give her full responsibility for this project?"

Ning Yichu was in charge of the jade carving studio in the North Pole of the imperial capital, so Mo Boyu naturally had no objection.

"Chu Chu, cooperate well with Mr. Gu. Perhaps, there will be unexpected gains."

Ning Yichu didn't know that Mo Boyou had investigated the meeting between Chen Zilan and Gu Sinan, so he said in a businesslike manner, "Okay, President Mo."

"Chengye, the jade carving exhibits for the anniversary celebration are now handed over to you." Gu Sinan also instructed Gu Chengye.

Gu Chengye's eyes flickered over Ning Yichu, and he nodded slightly. Then he spoke casually, "I heard that Miss Ning has won several jade carving awards in succession and is about to win the Grand Slam. Few young jade carvers can reach your level of accomplishment. I see you're still very young. Are you twenty-five this year?"

Ning Yichu gave him a suspicious look and replied, "Passed."

"Is it already over?" Gu Sinan was obviously startled, and looked at her with a more complicated look, "You were born in winter?"

This nonsensical sentence made Ning Yichu a little confused.

"Mr. Gu, why are you asking this?"

Gu Sinan also realized his own loss of composure, his expression changed slightly, and finally he smiled.

"Nothing, I just think Miss Ning, you look a lot like an old friend of mine..."

After he finished speaking, he looked at his watch and said, "That's all for today. We're leaving first."

Gu Sinan and his men quickly left the meeting room.

The table suddenly became empty...

The cramped feeling just now disappeared instantly.

"What's wrong, Chuchu?" Mo Boyu saw her standing there in a daze and asked with concern.

Ning Yichu thought about the way Gu Sinan looked at her just now, and she always had the illusion that he seemed to know her.

She frowned, discarded the idea, and remembered something else.

"Mr. Mo, has Auntie been busy these days?"

Mo Boyu's thoughts drifted away when he heard this.

Ever since Chen Zilan met Ning Qingwan last time, she has been absent-minded. In the past two days, she has left more than once to go to the Gu family's private mansion.

In fact, he was very suspicious that the purpose of the Gu family suddenly extending an olive branch to Beiji was actually Chuchu!

Thinking of this, Mo Boyu looked at Ning Yichu deeply.

"Chu Chu, have you ever heard about the feud between the Gu and Li families?"

Ning Yichu nodded in agreement. "I've heard that these two companies have been fighting each other in the business world for years, and it's all because of a woman?"

Rumors spread, I don't know whether it's true or not...

"I recently sent someone to investigate this matter."

Mo Boyu said slowly, "When Gu Sinan was young, he had a first love and they were very close. But for some reason, Li Lingyang's father, Li Jianbin, also fell in love with her and pursued her fiercely. However, he was rejected by Gu Sinan's first love. The two of them were also thinking of getting engaged. Li Jianbin would rather die than live in disgrace, and used conspiracy and trickery to frame Gu Sinan and his current wife. His first love witnessed this scene and was heartbroken. She has been missing since then. Some say she is dead, while others say she is mentally ill..."

Ning Yichu was a little confused at first. Why did he say this?

But when he heard the last sentence, his face suddenly changed and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Boss Mo, what do you mean?!"

Could her mother be the woman in the rumors?

But if she is, why has no one paid attention to her for so many years? !

How could Gu Sinan only look for herself at this time and not her mother?

This doesn't make sense, is there something wrong?

Mo Boyu looked at her excited expression and explained, "My mother originally planned to retire in Reykja, but after learning that Aunt Qingwan was your mother, she flew back overnight. After returning, the first person she secretly met was Gu Sinan."

Ning Yichu's mind suddenly became confused...

Aunt Shen went to see Gu Sinan, and now Gu Sinan has found her again...

And is my mother’s hostility towards the Li family due to what Li Jianbin did back then?

No, that's not right.

Considering how long Li Jianbin and Su Huiyue had been married, she was much older than him. There was no reason for him to come back to retaliate and break up the couple after several years. There must be something in between that they didn't know!

Ning Yichu's heart was pounding. "Mr. Mo, has Aunt Mo ever mentioned the Gu family to you before? Or have you found out who Gu Sinan's first love was...?!"
