Chapter 82 Mysterious Uncle
"Let's go, I'll show you around."
"Why don't you have floor-to-ceiling windows here?" Niansuan walked to the window, thinking of the floor-to-ceiling windows that are a must in a domineering CEO's office, and wondered why Gu Junxing didn't have any.
"...I'm afraid of heights."
"Oh..." Niansuan really didn't expect this to be the reason, very...down-to-earth. "
There's nothing to see outside, can we take a look inside?" The decoration style of Gu Junxing's office is similar to that of his home. Simply put, it's a style that would freeze you to death at a glance in the winter.
"Inside is the lounge, and there's also a small tea room." Gu Junxing walked in front and opened the door to the lounge.
Nian Sui An walked in and took a look. Gu Junxing's lounge was surprisingly plain. There was only a single bed, a sofa and a coffee table. There were no spare clothes in the office as she had thought before. Well, her previous superficial knowledge about domineering CEOs was learned from novels and TV, and it was probably not entirely true.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Gu Junxing was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.
"Someone is looking for me. You take a rest first."
Nian Sui An nodded and sat down on the sofa.
The door of the lounge was not closed, and Nian Sui An could hear people talking outside.
She heard the man call Gu Junxing "CEO Gu" and said: I was here a few days ago, but you were not there then.
Then he said: If you marry Sui Sui, then you are my niece-in-law, and we are real relatives.
Nian Sui An was confused, was Sui Sui talking about her?
Nian Sui An walked to the door, and when she was hesitating whether to go out, Gu Junxing saw her.
Gu Jun went up to her and held her hand... Nian Sui An was so stunned that she forgot to struggle.
Gu Junxing led Nian Sui An out, and a middle-aged man who was sitting on the sofa stood up and called her Sui Sui with a loving face.
"Sui Sui! What a coincidence that I came here today. You are also in the company. I was thinking of visiting you at home someday!"
Nian Sui An screamed for help in her heart... This person seemed to know Nian Sui An, but Nian Sui An was not the original owner and had no memory. She had no idea about the original owner's past, so she didn't know how to react.
But the middle-aged man smiled, as if he was not surprised that Nian Sui An didn't know him.
Instead, he explained on behalf of Nian Sui An: "Sui Sui, the last time you saw me was when you were about ten years old. It's normal that you forgot. I'm your cousin!"
Of course, Nian Sui An didn't remember what cousin, and didn't know how to react. She could only look at Gu Junxing for help: What's going on? Why did an unfamiliar cousin suddenly appear in Gu Junxing's company?
Gu Junxing squeezed her hand and soothed her: "Don't worry, I'll tell you later."
"Why didn't you tell your family about your marriage? Your parents are gone, and your cousin is your closest relative. If your cousin hadn't seen it on the Internet, he wouldn't even know you got married!"
Nian Sui An didn't know anything and still lowered his head and pretended to be dead. But the man opposite seemed to be immersed in his own world and didn't pay attention to Nian Sui An's appearance.
"If you ask me, Mingkai is also right. I am your cousin after all. I will definitely take care of you when your parents are gone. How could I harm you?"
Hearing this, Nian Sui'an raised her head suddenly, because Nian Mingkai is her father's name. Could it be that not only does she have the same name as the original owner, but their parents are also the same?
"Mr. Nian," Gu Junxing interrupted the man, "I will let someone evaluate the investment. Let's talk about it here today."
"This..." The man didn't seem to expect Gu Junxing to stop talking to him so soon. He had to look at Nian Sui'an, hoping that this cousin would say something.
But his disappointment was doomed. Nian Sui'an didn't even look at him, and Gu Junxing also stood up to block the man's line of sight.
"Mr. Nian, please go in." Gu Junxing meant to send the guest away directly.
No matter how thick-skinned Nian Minghui was, he was too embarrassed to sit down. He stood up and wanted to get angry, but he didn't know who to offend. He came to ask Gu Junxing for help today, so he had to smile and said to Gu Junxing: "We are all family. Come to my house for dinner with Sui Sui when you are free."
Gu Junxing neither nodded nor shook his head. He opened the door and said to Assistant Li who was waiting outside: "See you off, Mr. Nian."
Nian Sui'an was completely confused. As soon as Gu Junxing came back, Nian Sui'an quickly asked: "What's going on today?"
"Don't be anxious. This cannot be explained in just a few words. Let me tell you slowly." Gu Junxing comforted her and went to the tea room to pour out two cups of warm water.
"The man who came today is called Nian Minghui. He claims to be your cousin. He came twice when I was recuperating at home some time ago. Today is his third time."
"Is he really my cousin?"
Gu Junxing nodded. He was not surprised why Nian Sui'an didn't know his uncle. In fact, he had never seen him. It was just the name and some things in the past that made him sure that this man was not an imposter.
"Why did he come to you today? According to what he said, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and our relationship must be average. Why did he suddenly come to me, his cousin?" Nian Sui'an vaguely guessed that the other party's purpose should be impure.
"He said his company's funding chain had problems and asked me if I could give him an investment, but I didn't agree."
"We haven't been in touch for so many years, how could he have the nerve to look for you? Why didn't he look for me directly?" Especially when the original owner's father was mentioned in the conversation, Nian Sui'an didn't understand why someone would look for his niece's husband instead of his niece after not seeing each other for more than ten years.
"I guess he didn't contact you directly because he couldn't find you, so he looked for me, which is obviously easier to find."
Nian Sui'an nodded. This explanation was indeed reasonable, but she still had doubts. Although she was no longer the original owner, there were some things she still wanted to figure out. At least she couldn't live in such an unclear way. This time it was a cousin, but next time it was possible that he would meet a cousin's aunt or uncle.
If she wants to know about some things in the past, the most direct and simple way for her is to ask Gu Junxing. Nian Sui'an thinks that a man like Gu Junxing would not marry her without knowing anything, and he must know something. But
Nian Sui'an also knows that she can't ask Gu Junxing directly: Why did we get married? This is too direct and stupid, and it is easy to expose her abnormality.
So she asked Gu Junxing: "I just heard him talk about my father, and he seemed very dissatisfied? But since we haven't had any contact for so many years, what qualifications does he have to be dissatisfied?"
"It's easy to guess the reason."
"What?"
"Knock, knock, knock."
Someone knocked on the door again, and the two had to stop talking.
"Mr. Gu, the representative of Fengdu Real Estate has come and is waiting for you in the conference room downstairs."
"I know, I'll be right down." Gu Junxing said, turning back to look at Nian Sui'an, "Why don't you go to the room to rest for a while, or do you want to go out for a walk? I have a meeting now and I have to go."
"It doesn't matter, I'm in the office." Nian Sui'an's mind was in a mess, and he didn't want to go out.
"Okay, then you wait for me to come back."
