Forbidden Love

Gu Cunxi's straightforward life path began to deviate completely from the broad public's prescribed smooth road the day she encountered Xiao Peiyin.

Not only did it deviate, but it wa...

Chapter 136

Chapter 136

Wang Chiyang stood by the window for a long time, as if thinking. Gu Cunxi was not impatient and sat there waiting for him to give her an answer. She believed that Wang Chiyang understood her hint. Although there were violations in the bidding process, she had given her full sincerity. Besides, there were not many companies in Jianghuai City that could take over the Wanfeng land. Instead of choosing another company for inspection, it would be more appropriate to hand it over directly to Nansheng.

"Miss Gu"

Wang Chiyang turned around, his brows relaxed slightly as if he had figured something out. "You can come and return it and make a public apology. I'm surprised and pleased by your sincerity. I won't let your company suffer losses in vain. I've been paying close attention to Nansheng Technology since it was first established in Jianghuai. Today, it seems to be a trustworthy and conscientious company. I'll discuss the Wanfeng land with the higher-ups!"

This was a very tactful remark, but Gu Cunxi understood Wang Chiyang's secret assurance to her, and she felt relieved. She nodded, stood up and said, "Then I'm relieved. Director Wang is indeed as the rumors say."

"Oh?" Wang Chiyang raised his eyebrows in confusion: "What are the rumors about me like?"

"Fair!" Gu Cunxi said with a smile

This made Wang Chiyang chuckle. He asked someone to bring the third cup of tea. Surprisingly, it was not green tea. Gu Cunxi knew it was high-quality Pu'er after just one taste. This move made her confused.

Wang Chiyang explained as he tasted the tea: "Good tea tastes good only when you drink it with someone who deserves it!"

After drinking the last cup of tea, before leaving, Gu Cunxi vaguely heard Wang Chiyang making another phone call. His words were full of anger, and when he mentioned Chen Feng's name, she gently closed the door, a happy sneer on her lips, and her steps became much lighter.

The things that were pent up in my heart were gradually released. The mountains and rivers have reincarnations, and this time the loser will not be her

All that needed to be done had been done. All that was left was to wait patiently. The elevator door opened, and just as Gu Cunxi was about to walk in, he looked up and met Chen Feng's increasingly fierce gaze.

Chen Feng was planning to go out, but he froze inside the moment he saw Gu Cunxi. Gu Cunxi was also stunned for a moment, but soon regained her composure. She had already made preparations to meet him before coming here. Gu Cunxi walked in as if nothing had happened, pressed the button for the first floor, and stood beside Chen Feng with a cold look in her eyes.

The elevator door closed slowly, but Chen Feng didn't walk out. In the enclosed space, Gu Cunxi could hear his heavy breathing, which became increasingly rapid. She didn't say anything, pretending to be a stranger and ignoring him.

"I haven't seen you for four years, and I almost don't recognize you, Gu Cunxi!" Chen Feng spoke first, gritting his teeth.

Gu Cunxi curled her lips and chuckled softly, low and cold. She felt Chen Feng's suppressed anger and felt so happy that she couldn't stop laughing.

"What the hell are you laughing at?" Chen Feng took a big step closer to her and asked

Gu Cunxi smiled as if nothing had happened, and glanced at Chen Feng sideways: "Deputy Director Chen, why are you so angry?" The elevator was slowly descending, and she looked at the floor number and spoke slowly.

"Stop pretending! How dare you try to harm me?" Chen Feng said viciously. Gu Cunxi smiled calmly, staring at him coldly and steadily, not flinching. She raised an eyebrow and said, "Mr. Chen, have you done too many bad things? You think everyone wants to harm you when you see them?"

Chen Feng was furious. He grabbed her by the collar and shouted, "Don't think I don't know that you were behind this. You made that woman bribe me and then apologized publicly. You want to make this a big deal so that I can't handle it, right?"

His collar wrinkled from being grabbed, Gu Cunxi glanced at the camera above him, letting Chen Feng hold him tightly as he asked, "Can you handle this?"

Gu Cunxi always looked at him with a sneer, calm and composed. She was sure that Chen Feng would not dare to do anything to her here, and even if he did, it would only be more beneficial to her!

As she expected, Chen Feng had some reservations. He turned his head to look at the camera and loosened his hand. Gu Cunxi took the opportunity to straighten his wrinkled collar.

Seeing that Gu Cunxi was unmoved and showed no fear of him at all, Chen Feng realized that he was no longer as easy to deal with as he was four years ago. He thought for a moment and changed the subject, getting straight to the point: "Is it because of Xiao Peiyin?"

Gu Cunxi only reacted when she was mentioned. The muscles on her fair cheeks twitched slightly, as if she was gritting her teeth to control her emotions. Chen Feng took in her expression and sneered, "I can't believe Miss Gu is serious. She has been obsessed with a woman who has been played with by others for so many years..."

Gu Cunxi felt a sharp stab in her heart, but she didn't show it at all. Chen Feng knew her weaknesses and pain points, and a single word could break her defenses...

The hands in his pockets were covered in sweat, and Gu Cunxi clutched his sleeves tightly and remained silent.

Seeing her silence, Chen Feng knew that his words had taken effect. He continued to talk to himself: "No wonder you divorced me for your life and death. For a woman like Miss Gu who is rich, beautiful and loyal, gender really doesn't matter..."

"But..." Chen Feng paused deliberately, leaned over to Gu Cunxi's side, and said, "It's a pity that you missed her best years. A college student who just graduated from school, she was full of the scent of youth, and her skin was so delicate that you could pinch water out of it!"

Chen Feng chuckled, his smug voice sounded disgusting. Gu Cunxi tightened her hands in her pockets, and the weakness of her right hand made her resist the urge to hit him.

Gu Cunxi laughed in anger, but in Chen Feng's eyes it was a mockery. She gathered herself and tried to remain calm. She looked sideways at him and said, "It's really a pity that Pei Yin wasted her youth on a piece of trash!"

"you!"

"But..." Gu Cunxi interrupted, paused, and approached Chen Feng with a sneer, "Her best years weren't her youth, but the gentleness and tenderness that time left her after her youth. I'm glad Mr. Chen missed out. As for you, I predict that Mr. Chen's best years will always remain before today!"

Chen Feng twitched his lips and was speechless. She was even more sharp-tongued than she was four years ago. If he had known this would happen, he should not have let her go so easily!

I was about to say something when the elevator door opened.

"Take care of yourself!"

Gu Cunxi left a message and left in a hurry. The more Chen Feng thought about it, the angrier he became. He wondered if Gu Cunxi had any tricks up her sleeve, or if she still had something in her possession that could be detrimental to him, like the fund ledger from four years ago...

She is no longer the same person she was before, and she is not so easy to deal with. The media reports are so intense and the public opinion is so strong that it is difficult to cover it up by using connections. The more Chen Feng thinks about it, the more uneasy he becomes.

When the elevator door was about to close, Chen Feng stopped it and chased after it.

"Deputy Director Chen, Director Wang is looking for you."

Chen Feng ignored the man passing by and hurriedly chased in the direction Gu Cunxi left. Chen Feng already understood the purpose of her coming here, but he didn't know how much Wang Chiyang knew now...

Gu Cunxi was walking down the stairs, carrying her car keys in her bag, when Chen Feng, who had rushed over, grabbed her. The force was so strong that it stung her right hand and her phone fell to the ground.

"Gu Cunxi! It's been four years since the incident. I don't care what you want to do with Xiao Peiyin. I don't care what you want to do here today. If you're here for me, I can only say that you underestimated me. I could deal with you four years ago, and I can do the same four years later! Don't push me!" Chen Feng deliberately lowered his voice, fearing that people around him would hear.

"How about pushing you?" Gu Cunxi broke free and asked.

Chen Feng glanced at her right hand and sneered, "It seems that your right hand is fine now. Has the scar healed and the pain forgotten? If you push me to the limit, we'll both fight to the death! Of course, if you suppress the news now, I'll pretend nothing happened and we can keep our distance. How about that?"

This sounded like a threat, but also a plea for peace. Gu Cunxi looked at the time, picked up the phone on the ground, turned it on, and called. Chen Feng didn't understand what she meant.

"Has it been delivered?" Gu Cunxi asked over the phone.

“It has been delivered.”

After hanging up the phone, Gu Cunxi looked at Chen Feng, shrugged, and shook his head: "I'm sorry, it's too late!"

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, then reacted. He rushed forward, grabbed her right hand, and said harshly, "What the hell did you do? What did you give as a gift? Who did you give it to?"

The people passing by were startled by the roar and looked over.

Seeing this, the security guard at the door hurried out of the booth and asked, "Deputy Director Chen, are you okay?"

His right hand was gripped by Chen Feng, causing it to hurt, as if the bones were being squeezed. Gu Cunxi frowned, looked around, and warned softly, "This is the Land and Resources Bureau. Do you dare to mess around?"

Chen Feng gritted his teeth, increased the strength of his hands, glared at the security guard, and shouted: "It's none of your business!"

The security guard took a step back because of Chen Feng's rank. He didn't say anything, nodded, and turned back to the pavilion.

After the security guard left, Chen Feng continued, "You've cornered me. There's nothing I wouldn't dare do. What do you have in your hand? Who did you give it to?"

Seeing Chen Feng's increasingly unstoppable efforts, Gu Cunxi changed her mind. She didn't want to anger him, but it was obvious that Chen Feng was on the verge of losing his mind. As long as she gave him a little fuel, his sanity would explode in front of the gate of the Land and Resources Bureau!

"You'll know after tonight!" Gu Cunxi deliberately didn't say anything, looking at his cold smile, his shoulders shrugged.

"you!"

Gu Cunxi endured the pain in his hand and said, "Your secret account can no longer be hidden. You have been greedy for so many years. The good times must come to an end. People can't be complacent forever! That money is enough to buy several lives with you!"

Chen Feng stumbled suddenly, his eyes flashing with fear. If the money he had embezzled over the years was dug out at the root, his life would be over. Moreover, under such public opinion...

"You want to fucking kill me! I've already divorced Xiao Peiyin, what else do you want?" Chen Feng's mouth twitched fiercely, and his brows knitted together.

Seeing his sanity gradually collapse, Gu Cunxi took a deep breath, looked around, and said coldly: "I will always seek redemption for the harm she suffered from you, in different ways, such as..."

"You will lose your freedom forever!!"
