Chapter 90 Quarrel

Gu Ningwei said that Gu Zhiguang actually agreed to Gu Zhicheng's request without hesitation, and also expressed with special understanding that the group's main business was still more important and their investment matters could be put aside for the time being.

"I was shocked. I didn't expect he would have this awareness." Gu Ningwei smiled faintly, reached out to take the opened beer bottle on the table, tilted his head back and took a sip.

"He has no choice." Jiang Jin snorted, "Shunxin's conditions are very high now, and Gu Zhiguang doesn't want to agree to them so readily. After all..." He glanced at Han Que and kept silent.

Gu Ningwei nodded, he understood what Jiang Jin meant.

"They should have known the He family's attitude and delayed the engagement. In this case, Chengguang has no other choice but to let him do whatever he wants. It's a good idea." Gu Ningwei snorted, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"They have the conditions to think so, and it's normal. It's because Chengguang is in such a mess now. It's really a critical moment." Jiang Jin said.

After a pause, he moved closer to Gu Ningwei and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Is the source of this information genuine?" Gu Ningwei was surprised, his expression solemn. "Doesn't that mean that this famous tycoon back then won't be able to escape jail?"

"It should be." Jiang Jin nodded.

"What about his assets?"

"What should be recovered will definitely be recovered. By the time this kind of news comes out, he has already been under surveillance for a long time. He himself might not even know it." Jiang Jin talked to him about the news in the industry, the big news that had just been exposed.

He has colleagues in investment banks and still has connections in the financial circle, so the information he gets is more detailed and accurate than general reports.

Gu Ningwei shook his head with a heavy expression. He knew very well that Cheng Guang was also on the edge of a cliff. If he wasn't careful, he would fall down and his body would be gone.

"My former colleagues are also involved in this and may be implicated." Jiang Jin sighed and shook his head slightly.

Gu Ningwei hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you regretting leaving your old job and getting involved in this world of gossip? It's all my sister's fault for insisting on pursuing you."

Jiang Jin's eyebrows twitched slightly. He looked at Han Que beside him again, picked up a piece of roasted pig's trotter, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly. After a while, he chuckled, "You said it as if it were true. What does this have to do with Ali? If there is any trouble, it's you, Gu Ningwei, who did it. She's a rich girl, what does she know?"

Gu Ningwei chuckled, looking slightly embarrassed. He glanced uncomfortably at Han Que beside him. Then he smiled and said, "I can force a cow to drink water if it doesn't want to. If Gu Ningli pursues you, what else can she do to you if you refuse?"

"Yes, it was because I was greedy for wealth and fame that I got deeply involved in it." Jiang Jin nodded and said self-deprecatingly.

After a pause, he continued, "However, even if I'm not at Chengguang, given the current situation, there's no guarantee I won't be implicated in other projects. After all, when things are going well, anything goes, but when things go badly, they have to look for scapegoats. A professional like me, with no power or influence and a grassroots background, is the best candidate."

Gu Ningwei was slightly stunned. He agreed with this point of view. Jiang Jin understood it, but he had no choice. What he did might be to provide him with other paths.

Neither of them said anything for a while and just drank.

Han was sitting on a stool nearby, scrolling through his phone boredly.

The lights in the bar were dim, with only a spotlight shining in the middle of the round table, casting a warm glow on the food on the plates.

Jiang Jin paused and asked Gu Ningwei about the H County audit. Gu Ningwei briefly explained the situation. Jiang Jin asked curiously, "They're keeping it a secret so tightly. Where did you get the information?"

Gu Ningwei glanced at Han Que beside him and said with a smile, "Of course I have my own sources."

Jiang Jin then looked at Han Que: "You told him? How did you know? You haven't been to H County."

"You know Zhang Yuming, right? My junior high school classmate, the one who came to our house back then, the one who spoke with an H County accent..." Han Que looked at Jiang Jin, "You even tutored him in math back then?"

Jiang Jin frowned, thought for a moment, and nodded: "I have some impression of what you said."

Han said, "She was the one who jumped off the building."

Jiang Jin was silent.

Seeing a name on the Internet and meeting a specific person in real life are two different concepts. However, Han knew that Gu Ningwei pulled her over to put some pressure on Jiang Jin so that he would not take it lightly.

After breaking up with Jiang Jin, Han Que said it was getting late and wanted to go back to Fang Jiayan, which made Gu Ningwei a little unhappy.

He complained with a cold face: "How many times have I told you to move in? My house is empty, just the two of us, but you insist on going back every time. I can't even hold you in my arms and get a full night's sleep."

Han said, "I don't want to have so much trouble in the future."

"What trouble?" Gu Ningwei asked relentlessly.

"It's a trouble. I will have to move out of your place in the future. It's troublesome to have too many things." Han said in a low voice.

"What do you mean?" Gu Ningwei's face turned cold and he narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"It's nothing." Han said lightly.

"You still say it's meaningless? What about moving later? What are you afraid of?" Gu Ningwei pulled her hand hard, pulled her closer, bent down, lowered his eyes and asked.

"I'm not afraid of anything," Han said. "I'm telling the truth, the truth about what's going to happen."

"Ha." Gu Ningwei was so angry that he laughed. "Since you know it's going to happen later, but it hasn't happened yet, is there any need to be so nervous about it?"

"I'm not nervous, I just think we should be prepared for any problems." Han Que's anger was rising. "Gu Ningwei, please stop trying to cover up your mistake, okay? You're going to go for a business marriage. Even if it's not with He Lian, you'll end up with another woman. So, what are you avoiding? What are you trying to hide?"

"I'm not avoiding anything." Gu Ningwei's tone was stern. He stared into Han Que's eyes, and his shadow was reflected in them. "Don't you see that I'm solving them one by one? Don't you see that I'm thinking of a solution? Yes, you are right. That is Chengguang Group. It is the empire that my father worked hard to build. I also have shares. I will not give up. Even if I have to fight to the death, I will save things. I can't let them ruin it like this. I'm trying my best. You can say that I am ambitious or that I am unscrupulous. I don't care. But my ambition and unscrupulousness don't mean that I must trade our feelings for it. Can't we think of a way to have the best of both worlds?"

"Why don't you make an exchange? Do you think that I, Han Que, can't live without you? Even if you marry someone else, I still want to be your mistress. This is the best of both worlds." Han Que said.

"I didn't say that." Gu Ningwei raised his voice to defend himself.

"But you think so." Han said, pushed him away, turned and ran towards the bus stop not far away.

Just then a bus arrived at the station and she quickly got on.

By the time Gu Ningwei ran over, the car door had just closed.

Gu Ningwei knocked on the door hard. The driver had already started the car, so he had to stop and open the door.

Gu Ningwei got into the car angrily and was about to go to the parking space to look for Han Que. The driver reminded him, "Sir, you haven't swiped your card yet."

Gu Ningwei was stunned. "What card?"

The driver glanced at him amusedly and said as he started the car, "Have you never taken a bus before? You need a bus card. Even if you don't have a card, you can pay with your phone."

Several middle-aged and elderly people sitting in the front row were also teaching him.

Gu Ningwei's eyes were fixed on Han Que who was standing at the back door. He was dizzy from their noise. He pointed at Han Que who was not far away and said, "My wife is at the back."

"Then ask your wife to swipe the card for you," said a woman with a child. "Your wife knows how to do it."

As they spoke, they began to discuss among themselves.

"Oh, men nowadays are so spoiled that they can't even ride the bus."

"Yes, women can't spoil men like this, or they'll suffer in the future."

Gu Ningwei was anxious, worried that Han Que would get off the bus from the back door when the bus arrived at the station, so he had no choice but to yell at Han Que: "Wife, come and help me, I don't know how to do it, and they are going to kick me off the bus."

Then he explained to others, "She was arguing with me just now and was angry."

The people in the front row also turned around and looked at Han Que who was standing by the back door, and said, "Girl, come and help him. He doesn't know how to do it."

"Yeah, if you have a fight, go back home and have it. You have to give your man face outside."

"Yeah, they've already chased you, so just give them a way out. Why would a young couple hold a grudge over a quarrel?"

Han's face flushed red, and someone beside her pushed her, "Hurry up and go, look how pitiful your man is, don't bother with him."

Han had no choice but to walk to the door, took out his bus card and swiped it for Gu Ningwei. Thinking about it, he got angry again and glared at him fiercely, "Give me back the money later, two yuan."

Gu Ningwei heaved a long sigh, wiped the sweat from his face, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pay you back right away." Then he leaned on the armrest of the car and used his mobile phone to transfer the money.

With a "ding" sound, Han received a text message showing that the other party had transferred 20,000 yuan.

"What are you doing?" Han glared at him. "You're the only one with money, right?"

Gu Ningwei pulled her arm and said with an apologetic smile, "The bus fare is two yuan, and the rest is compensation for mental damage. It's my fault for making you angry. I'll compensate you for your mental damage."

Han kept silent with a sullen face. Several old men beside him said, "Hey, girl, don't be angry with him. He has already admitted his mistake. Just let him go."

"That's right. He's so nice and even gave you compensation for mental damage. How nice! I've been married for decades and we've had hundreds of arguments, but the old man has never given me any compensation for mental damage."

"And compensation for mental damages. It's a good thing they didn't make me die of anger..."

"I think this guy is good. He's good-looking and has a good attitude. Young couples shouldn't hold grudges after a quarrel. They can make up at the foot of the bed and go home to have a good sleep."

Everyone burst into laughter. Gu Ningwei pulled Han Que and whispered in her ear, "Look, even the elderly know that a good night's sleep will help. Let's go back and have some sleep too, and forget all the unpleasant things."

Han glared at him.

He squinted his eyes and smiled like a fox who had stolen something fishy.

The car arrived at the station just in time, and Gu Ningwei pulled Han Que out of the car directly from the front door. He also stood on the side of the road and waved to the elderly people in the car window to express his gratitude.
