Chapter 394 Starting Point

As soon as Mrs. Sheng appeared on the scene, she was almost fainted by Chu Junyue's words. She claimed that she was not feeling well and went home to recuperate early.

The atmosphere of the following banquet was harmonious.

Chu Junyue claimed that he had official business to attend to and left early. Before leaving, he held the girl's hand in front of everyone and gave her a few instructions in a deep voice.

Sheng Huaian was unusually silent and did not try to stop it. Old Master Sheng was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He solemnly declared over and over again that he would never agree to Chu Junyue's proposal of marriage.

"This is not your business." Jiang Wanrou spoke. She tried hard to speak word by word. Although her voice was trembling and she spoke unsteadily, it was obvious that she had a fear of Mr. Sheng due to her blood relationship.

The woman under the luxurious dress was unspeakably gentle, with a stubborn look in her eyes. Speaking of who Jiang Zhiyue's personality resembled, it was probably influenced by Jiang Wanrou.

Sheng Huai was so happy that he kept laughing. After Jiang Wanrou left, he said, "Grandpa, don't you think it's embarrassing enough? How long do you think you can keep the matter of that woman a secret? If you are so biased, you will lose everything sooner or later."

He finally stopped exposing his hostility.

Sheng Huaian no longer had any worries. The position of heir could not threaten him, and no one could influence the matter of his marrying a wife. His long-cherished wish disappeared the moment Jiang Wanrou and her daughter came on stage.

"Let me be frank with you. If anyone dares to hurt my aunt and Zhiyue again, don't blame me for being rude. You are now at an age where you can enjoy the happiness of family life, but now you have to witness a tragedy."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xian'er.

Lin Xian'er was leaning close to Bai Yanzhu's ear, whispering something. Bai Yanzhu still had a hint of concealment on her face, and the latter did not smile at all, and the hatred in her eyes turned into reality.

"I want her to become a thing in a brothel, a life worse than death."

.......

Later, Jiang Zhiyue received another piece of news.

It was Gu Zhaoye who told her, "Lin Jun escaped from prison."

Lin Jun has been convicted. The crimes he was involved in were related to the black industry in the border area, which directly affected the safety of several neighboring countries.

He was sentenced to a heavy sentence with no bail and no visitation, which was tantamount to a "death sentence" of isolation from the world.

Mr. Sheng wanted to protect Mrs. Sheng, but in the face of irrefutable evidence, he was ultimately powerless and unable to provide any protection for Lin Jun.

"My mother planted a spy in the Inspection Bureau and got the news first." Gu Zhaoye let out a breath. On the one hand, he was strictly forbidden by his father to get close to Jiang Zhiyue, and on the other hand, he suddenly learned this bombshell news.

"Don't worry. If Lin Jun dares to escape from prison, he will become a fugitive. If a fugitive dies, he dies. No one cares." He comforted her.

The implication is that if Lin Jun was caught by the people sent by the Gu family, he would surely die.

Every day that Lin Jun is alive, the Gu family is worried that Lin Jun will take the same revenge on Gu Zhaoye, and they will never sit idly by and wait for death.

Jiang Zhiyue walked away from the hustle and bustle of the banquet hall and came to the balcony of the Sky Tower. The city skyline at night was lit up like stars, and the moonlight sprinkled on the skyscrapers, as if covered with a layer of silver gauze.

The wind came from afar, and the girl's hair danced with it, all her long black hair was lifted up, and a strand of soft hair gently brushed against Gu Zhaoye's cheek.

He raised his hand to smooth her hair and looked into her calm eyes.

"It's expected." Jiang Zhiyue said softly.

Even with irrefutable evidence, Old Lady Sheng still could not convict the man. She had to admit that Xiao Jingrun's words were very convincing.

In fact, the man had already foreseen the ending. He knew what she was pursuing and had already anticipated that her ideas were too naive and that she would get justice by revealing the truth.

Jiang Zhiyue felt that every step was within Xiao Jingrun's expectations, and even the possible reactions of each person were already within his expectations.

She did not feel embarrassed about being seen through. She just leaned on the railing, quietly enjoying the evening breeze, and enjoying this special night, this hard-earned tranquility.

"I saw everything just now." Gu Zhaoye said.

"What did you see?"

Gu Zhaoye said in a muffled voice, "You ask even though you already know the answer."

Chu Junyue's proposal of marriage.

His father warned him not to go over and cause trouble, and even if he impulsively went to the Sheng family to propose marriage, Old Master Sheng would never agree.

From the moment he pulled the trigger at Lin Jun, it was already destined. This was his choice, and he would definitely pay the price for his choice.

"This is your growth. Remember how you feel at this moment. Is it painful? If you don't remember this pain, the road ahead will only be more difficult."

"Tell me, as my son, what else can you do besides using my resources to fight them?"

Father Gu’s words still echo in his ears.

"Why should I watch someone propose to you?" Gu Zhaoye put his hand on the railing, playing with a silver metal lighter.

He is 1.88 meters tall, no less tall than other men. His rebellious face and lazy half-closed eyes still exude a bad and wild charm.

Sparks flickered at my fingertips.

Through the burning orange flames, the girl's face was hidden in the firelight.

Gu Zhaoye stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful.

The palm of my hand felt hot, as if it were the burning fire.

"Do you really want to agree to him?" Gu Zhaoye's tone was a little out of control. He was frustrated, unwilling, and his heart could not calm down.

"Do you think it's unfair?" Jiang Zhiyue asked back.

Of course Gu Zhaoye felt it was unfair.

It was obvious that they knew each other first, and they had been together for decades. How could these bits and pieces of memories be erased?

"I won't get involved in their boring duel." Gu Zhaoye glanced at her and said, "I will fulfill your wish. Facts will prove who understands you the most."

"Regarding the Hope Project for these slums, I have asked my father to take over."

"Zhiyue, do you believe it? As long as I look into your eyes, I can see through your thoughts."

He lazily played with the lighter in his hand, sparks jumping, and he had unknowingly lit a cigarette.

Gu Zhaoye's hair was messy, and his amber eyes beneath the messy hair made him look handsome enough.

Several buttons of his shirt were undone, and wisps of smoke were swirling between his fingers.

The girl's face was hidden in the smoke.

When the smoke cleared, Gu Zhaoye had already put out his cigarette and was leaning on the railing with both hands.

"What do you want the new world to be like?"

Everything is within sight.

The Gu family has enough wealth to change the world.

The man's broad palm was close at hand, and Gu Zhaoye turned his wrist with his palm facing up.

Jiang Zhiyue was stunned for a moment. Gu Zhaoye grabbed in the air again. He smiled and said, "I don't know what the new world will be like, but you are the starting point of this blueprint."
