At eighteen, Gu Miaomiao was arrogant and domineering, trampling Jiang Yanbai's self-esteem and treating him like a dog.
At twenty-five, Gu Miaomiao knelt on the ground, humiliatingly col...
Chapter 52 Don't bother with her
Seeing this, Gu Baozhu grabbed Jiang Yanbai's arm softly, her eyes full of admiration.
"Yan Bai, have you forgotten? Our Jiang family and the Gu family already have an engagement."
She glanced at Gu Miaomiao who was sitting quietly, and her voice was a little boastful.
"I am the real daughter of the Gu family."
"So, it should be me who marries you."
After she reminded him, Jiang Yanbai finally remembered.
true.
When he was still a dog at the mercy of others, he was used as a bargaining chip by the Jiang family and settled with the Gu family.
But at that time, he was nothing.
How could the Gu family release their real daughter?
Now that he is in power, they remember it.
Jiang Yanbai closed his eyes, and the stinging sensation in his temples became more and more obvious.
He spoke wearily, his voice cold.
"It was just a joke at the time, it doesn't count."
Gu Baozhu seemed to have expected him to say this.
Her voice was slyly sweet.
"Really? But I've already spread the word."
She lowered her head as if a little embarrassed.
"I'm a relatively well-known figure in Country A's film and television circles. Returning to China to develop my career, I have to give my fans an explanation. My social media updates should have spread all over the internet by now."
She raised her eyes and looked into Jiang Yanbai's eyes, speaking every word.
"Jiang Yanbai, the president of Jiang Corporation, is about to marry me."
Jiang Yanbai opened his eyes.
A storm suddenly arose in those bottomless eyes.
"When did it happen?"
Gu Baozhu blinked her innocent big eyes.
"Just before I return home."
"Uncle Jiang even called and said we're not young anymore and it's time to get married."
Jiang Yanbai suddenly sat up straight. His movement was so big that it affected the wound on his back, but he was completely unaware of it.
"He called you?"
Jiang Dongwei.
That man actually wanted to control his life!
Seeing his sudden change in expression, Gu Baozhu felt proud in her heart, but her face looked even more aggrieved.
"Yanbai, what's wrong with you? Could it be that... you really don't want to?"
She said, leaning forward slightly, closer to him.
This action caused the necklace on her collar to slip out quietly.
Jiang Yanbai's gaze was fixed on the pendant.
The deep pupils suddenly contracted.
When I was ten years old, in the back alley of the orphanage.
The man was covered in wounds, but still stuffed the last piece of bread into his hand.
The vague little face in the memory suddenly overlapped with Gu Baozhu's face in front of him, which was full of timidity and expectation.
It's her, it must be her.
There's no mistaking that necklace.
It turned out that the little girl who gave him the only light in the darkness was the real daughter of the Gu family.
The storm in Jiang Yanbai's eyes disappeared in an instant.
He leaned back against the headboard, his voice a little hoarse.
"No, I'm just worried that this is just a marriage and you'll feel wronged."
Gu Baozhu's eyes lit up.
She knew that no man could resist her beauty and her coquettishness.
She took his hand on the edge of the bed, a blush appearing on her cheeks.
"I don't feel wronged."
Her voice is soft.
"As long as I can be with you, I'm willing to do anything. You know I've been attracted to you since we were little."
He looked at her, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
Jiang Yanbai neither agreed nor refused.
He simply pulled his hand back and his voice returned to calm.
"You just returned home, where do you plan to settle down?"
Gu Baozhu lowered her eyes, hiding the calculations in her heart, and her tone was a little embarrassed.
"I know you've already acquired the Gu Group, but I've never blamed you. Besides... we're getting married soon, so why don't I stay at your house for a while?"
Jiang Yanbai looked at her and uttered a few words through his thin lips.
"Where I live now is the former Gu family."
The cage that imprisoned his youth for several years and witnessed all his humiliation.
Gu Baozhu suddenly raised her head with joy.
"That's just perfect!"
She smiled innocently.
Gu Miaomiao, who was watching coldly from the side, suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Jiang, does your head hurt anymore?"
Jiang Yanbai was somewhat displeased when he heard this, and when he turned to look at her, his eyes were filled with frost.
"Go back and clear out a room for Baozhu."
His tone was devoid of emotion.
When Gu Baozhu heard this, the smug smile on her face froze, and she looked at Gu Miaomiao in pretended surprise.
"She lives there too?"
Jiang Yanbai nodded coldly.
"She had nowhere else to go, so I took pity on her and let her stay."
"When we get married in the future, she will move out."
Every word seemed to be spoken deliberately for Gu Miaomiao to hear.
When Gu Baozhu heard this, the smile on her face froze completely.
She is the real boss now, how can she tolerate this imposter to continue staying with Jiang Yanbai.
"I'm back now, and it's not convenient to have a stranger at home. It's better to let her move out now."
Jiang Yanbai's Adam's apple moved slightly and he let out a very light cough.
"Let's stay here for now."
"Besides, she now works at the Jiang Group and lives in the Jiang family, so many things can be solved in a timely manner."
Even he himself felt that this reason was lame.
But he just didn't want her to leave his sight.
Gu Baozhu didn't say anything else.
There is ample time.
She silently noted this in her heart, but a sweet smile appeared on her face again and she turned to Gu Miaomiao.
"Then I'll trouble you, sister."
"If you want to stay and clean up after yourself, you're not without hands and feet."
Gu Miaomiao said coldly and turned away.
Gu Baozhu looked at Gu Miaomiao's back without any reluctance, and stomped her feet in anger. She turned around and started to act coquettishly towards Jiang Yanbai who was lying on the hospital bed.
"Yanbai, look at her! She's really going too far! I just asked her for a favor, and she gave me a cold shoulder!"
Jiang Yanbai withdrew his gaze from the door and fell on Gu Baozhu's face.
He listened expressionlessly until she finished complaining, then he reached out and gently touched her hair.
"Don't bother with her. You can stay here and go to the Jiang family to take a look. You can live in whichever room you want."
When she heard that she could choose any room to live in the Jiang family, Gu Baozhu's unhappiness immediately disappeared.
She immediately put on a concerned look and asked softly, "Okay! Yanbai, are you still feeling unwell? Can we be discharged now?"
Jiang Yanbai spoke in a calm voice.
"It's nothing serious, you can go back now."
This sentence hit Gu Baozhu's heart.
"Very good!"
She immediately came forward attentively and extended her hand to help Jiang Yanbai.
"Then go slowly. I'll help you up. Be careful not to touch the wound on your head."
Jiang Yanbai calmly avoided her overly intimate support and stood up by himself, supporting himself on the edge of the bed.
At this moment, Gu Baozhu's cell phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.
Gu Baozhu picked up the phone and her eyes lit up. She immediately put the screen in front of Jiang Yanbai and spoke in a low voice.
"Yanbai, look, it's your uncle calling."
After saying that, she quickly swiped the answer button and considerately pressed the hands-free button.
