48. Can't resist temptation
"Perhaps, both parties like each other."
"That won't do! Not to mention that Yan Hui has a boyfriend, just the seniority between them is such that if this gets out, people will scold her to death."
She picked up the red wine glass in distress and drank it all in one gulp.
"If my grandfather knew about this, he would be so angry that he would faint..."
He curled his lips in a small smile, almost invisible, weak and pitiful: "Well, if the old man knew about your stock speculation and real estate purchases, he would faint."
"Yes," she said, pressing her solar plexus with a headache. "Grandpa firmly opposed his descendants getting involved in the stock market. After all, his best comrade-in-arms back then... died of anger after his son squandered all his family fortune on the stock market."
"That comrade is Miss Chu's grandfather?"
"Yeah." She seemed a little annoyed.
The stock market is a place where human greed is displayed. Some people make huge amounts of money in a few years, while there are even more people who lose everything and become separated from their wives and children overnight.
Anyone who comes in will always be greedy.
The gambler's mentality carries the risk of huge losses, and the property may be reduced to zero at any time.
She knew it was a bottomless pit, and the amounts she played were not large, so she would never go all in.
She first invested 20 million yuan and lost a lot in the early stage. Later, she made a profit. She immediately withdrew the principal and continued to invest with the money she earned.
In the past two years, I have achieved some results and bought this sea view apartment.
Only her uncle knew that she was investing in stocks and he advised her not to go down this path, but she didn't listen.
I always want to make a quick buck and run away with the profits, and I don’t want to quit.
If you lose, you want to win it back; if you win, you want to win more. It’s hard to get out of the gambling game.
"Let's not talk about this anymore," Fu Zhiju waved his hand, frowned, and asked Feng Zhi, "Lin Lin hasn't come yet?"
"No."
When someone arrives, knock on the door.
Fu Zhiju had already put on her long dress, and with her arms folded across her chest, she looked at the handsome man in front of her, who was dressed formally but had messy hair.
"Actor Lin, you're really shameless to make me wait for you on a day like this."
"The plane was delayed, and I went to buy flowers, so it took a little longer." Lin Lin explained apologetically.
He handed her the large bouquet of flowers in his arms, and curled the corners of his lips. Her already androgynous face looked even more stunningly beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful.
"Happy Valentine's Day, my Miss Fu."
"Who's yours?" She glanced at him unhappily and opened the door. "Come in."
As for the flowers, he handed them to Feng Zhi without even looking at them.
The young man lowered his eyes, and for some unknown reason, he put the big bouquet of red roses in the corner.
Then he left the room quietly and familiarly.
As he walked down the hallway on his way out, he looked up at her bedroom window and saw their shadows through the curtains.
Hug, kiss, entanglement, ambiguity.
The woman pushed the man down on the sofa, and his shadow suddenly became blurred.
He stood there, watching the blurry shadows swaying in the curtains. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and a familiar feeling of sourness and jealousy rose in his heart.
He should have looked away like a good butler and not pried into his boss's private life, but he couldn't help but stare at the carved window.
The deep blue eyes were filled with unwilling thoughts, and the bright red lips opened and closed, murmuring two very lingering words: "Sister..."
On Valentine's Day, there are bound to be people watching others' happiness in a twisted way in the dark, jealous to the point of going crazy.
And the other end.
After Gu He hung up the phone, his expression lightened up a little.
Fu Zhiju could provoke him with his words, and he was so frank about it, it didn't seem like he was in a guilty state of covering up for someone else's lie.
It turned out that I was overthinking it. I didn’t think Chu Yan would have the courage to reply to that woman!
Put away your phone.
He also thought: Sisi must be waiting for him alone now.
It would be beneficial for Chu Yanhui to stay with Fu Zhiju. He could also go to see Sisi openly without being discovered by her.
So he put on a happy face and drove to Huo Sisi's residence.
Huo Sisi was surprised when she opened the door: "Ahe, today is Valentine's Day, aren't you going to accompany Miss Chu?"
Under her incredulous gaze, he presented the flowers to her with a loving look: "Of course I spend Valentine's Day with the woman I love most. How could I possibly spend it with her?"
"Chu Yanhui and I were just playing around."
"If it weren't for the long-standing grudge between the Gu and Huo families, preventing you and I from being together openly, would I need to find a superficial girlfriend to cover up?"
…
Inside the restaurant.
Fu Rongshen said to her, "Gu He called Zhiju and asked her to pick you up at her house tomorrow morning. She guessed you were with someone else outside and refused."
"But...why would she say this to my uncle? Shouldn't she call me?"
Her hand on the glass froze and she looked up at him.
"I messaged her and told her that."
The juice shook and almost spilled out.
She looked embarrassed and incredulous, her lips trembling: "You...this! How can you..."
"She already knows about our relationship," the man said calmly as he peeled the shrimp and placed them on her plate. "Zhiju is your friend, and you know her character best. Let her know that there's nothing wrong with that."
His voice paused, and he looked at her: "Yan Hui, what are you worried about?"
"It's because she and I are best friends, you're her uncle, and we grew up together... How can she accept this?"
He muttered to himself, "Who in their right mind could accept this?"
A look of pain came over her face.
"She'll find out sooner or later."
Fu Rongshen wiped his hands clean and said gently and calmly, "Xiao Yanhui, we will need her more often in the future. Even if I don't tell you, you will naturally guess it."
She was silent and lowered her head.
Many emotions welled up in my heart.
Is this relationship going to haunt her forever?
Then when can she marry Gu He? Forget, Gu He will not marry her, he still has Huo Sisi in his heart...
Gu He did not take the initiative to break up, and she did not want to let her beautiful first love be completely shattered, so she continued this weird yet harmonious relationship.
How long can it last?
What's more, she clearly felt that she was becoming more and more... unable to resist temptation.
Tonight's concert was very good, and the little uncle was also... very handsome. She could no longer pretend not to see the little mole.
On the one hand, she told herself that she should stick to her duty and never be tempted even if her body was unable to control itself; on the other hand, she could not help but see his gentleness and his face that matched her aesthetic taste.
As if bewitched.
My heart is split in two, but I stubbornly refuse to admit it.
…
Five o'clock.
The room was still pitch black.
Chu Yanhui was very tired, drowsy and half awake.
I felt a pair of hands picking me up and leaning against a broad chest. I vaguely felt the fabric touching my back, which should be a suit.
Place cool glass or porcelain against your lips.
"Be good, drink some water, or your throat will hurt when you get up."
Hearing the other person's gentle tone, he opened his mouth and drank some, although unconsciously.
After drinking, smack your lips.
This dream tastes like pear, sweet...
She thought dimly.
