Chapter 1158 The Past
It is said that two people will become more and more alike if they live together for a long time. It is true, but that is just Li Jinxing's one-sided catering to Gu Wanqiu. If there is any resemblance, it is that he looks like the former Gu Wanqiu.
Seeing him smile, Gu Wanqiu didn't completely relax and remained tense.
"What if you guessed wrong and wronged me?" Gu Wanqiu lowered her brows and eyes. "I want to go to work with you, not because of Gong Qing. I'm very grateful to you for the J City project. Not only did it solve Gong Qing's troubles, but it also made it easier for me to break up with him. Now that we have nothing to do with each other, can you please not mention these things again in the future?"
Gu Wanqiu gently grasped Li Jinxing's hand, speaking slowly and carefully, saying every word with a hint of humility.
"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore, but let's wait until the weather warms up before we talk about your work. You shouldn't be in a hurry right now, right?"
Gu Wanqiu was worried that Gu Wanqiu would be suspicious, so she could only bite the bullet and nod: "As long as you agree to let me go to work with you in the future."
"I'll prepare some study materials for you these few days. Read and memorize them at home. It will be helpful for your future work."
"I understand." It seemed that Li Jinxing would not agree to let her go to work with him for a while. Maybe he still didn't fully trust her.
Another thing is that I really don't know anything. I am just a drag and a laughing stock next to him.
Li Jinxing is a man who, once he makes up his mind, is not one to change it easily. Gu Wanqiu knows that it is very unlikely that she will get Li Jinxing to agree to work with her. Even if she talks till her mouth dries up tonight, it will be useless.
Maybe, wait for her
After reading the study materials prepared by Li Jinxing for her, memorizing them, remembering them completely and being able to apply them flexibly, he was able to trust himself and agreed to let her work with him.
It is not so easy to get more secrets from Li Jinxing. It is absolutely impossible in one or two days. Fortunately, she has enough time to help Gong Qing.
"It's getting late. Go to bed early and take good care of your body. This is worth more than anything else. We can talk about work when we are more energetic."
"Yeah, okay."
The two children have been taken care of by the nanny and have washed and dressed. They are now lying on the bed and asleep.
Gu Wanqiu was also going to bed. When she entered the room, she and Li Jinxing went to the children's room together. She went in quietly, stood by the bed, took a look at the child, and then returned to her own room.
"Good night, Li Jinxing." Gu Wanqiu took the initiative to speak. From today on, the relationship between her and Li Jinxing has changed. She has to try hard to adapt and pretend that she has fallen in love with him.
Li Jinxing was a little dissatisfied with her address, frowning: "You call me so unfamiliar?"
Gu Wanqiu: "..." She realized that Li Jinxing was really a fussy person. Why was he so particular about what he was addressed to? Not only was he concerned about what she addressed him, but he was also concerned about what others addressed him to. Isn't it just a name? It's just for convenience.
"What do you call that appropriate?"
"Think for yourself."
Gu Wanqiu followed his words, omitted his surname, and simply called out, "Jinxing?"
"Not really."
What about her own idea? She thought about it, but he was not satisfied.
Gu Wanqiu suddenly wanted to play a prank: "Xiaoxing." This call felt like calling a child.
Li Jinxing's face
He was startled for a moment, and in an instant he thought of something from the distant past. He said in a hoarse voice: "Well... only my mother can call me that."
Gu Wanqiu didn't know anything about Li Jinxing. All she knew was what she heard from Gong Qing.
But in fact, Gong Qing didn't know the specific things that happened between Gu Wanqiu and Li Jinxing. He only knew that Li Jinxing was raised in the Gu family since he was a child, which means he was an orphan.
Li Jinxing is indeed an orphan, but before he met Gu Wanqiu, he was not an orphan, he had a father and a mother.
Mom was killed by Dad, and Dad was killed by him. He was thrown into the abyss by Gu Wanqiu, and was pulled out of the abyss by her.
Gu Wanqiu has not recovered her memory yet, so she always thought that Li Jinxing was an orphan who didn't remember his parents. Now she heard him mention his mother.
The next second she blurted out: "Your mother?" Her tone was full of surprise.
"Are you that surprised? Who doesn't have a mother?"
"I just heard you mention it for the first time. Come to think of it, it seems like you've never talked about your family before."
Li Jinxing asked indifferently, "Do you want to know?"
Gu Wanqiu nodded.
"My parents died. I put a cannon in my dad's wine, but he didn't die. So I took my anger out on my mom, and he beat her to death. Then I killed him too. I was just over ten years old at the time." Li Jinxing's tone suddenly turned cold. He smiled when he said this, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Gu Wanqiu's whole body froze, her back felt cold, and she stared motionlessly at Li Jinxing's cold and stern outline, the blood draining from her face.
It turns out that Li Jinxing has such a hidden side. He has been cruel and ruthless since he was a child.
Killed his father with his own hands.
Why did the Gu family adopt such a person in the first place? What was she thinking back then, why did she keep such a "ticking time bomb" around?
