Chapter 4 Mr. Gu, it’s a pleasure to work with you!
"Don't think about it. I agree."
Jian Yao lowered her eyes, her black hair brushing across her pink cheeks, and she looked very well behaved. "I will be a qualified Mrs. Gu."
For the past decade or so, Jian Yao always thought that she would marry Lu Chengze.
Therefore, she and Lu Chengze attended the same school and lived in the same community. After graduation, she joined the Lu's sales department to help him get resources and helped him step by step to become the heir of the Lu's.
She never thought that she would one day agree to marry someone else.
This feeling is wonderful, but not as uncomfortable as I imagined.
She twitched her lips in self-mockery, raised her clear eyes, looked at Gu Zhiyan steadily, and said firmly: "I will resign from Lu's as soon as possible."
Everyone in her circle knew that she liked Lu Chengze. Since she had agreed to marry Gu Zhiyan, she would not get involved with other men and affect the reputation of the Gu family and Yaoguang.
The girl stretched out her fair arms, her rosy lips raised to a perfect curve. Although her eyes were still red, the gloomy atmosphere around her had dissipated completely, and she was full of life again.
“Mr. Gu, it’s a pleasure to work with you!”
The woman's sweet voice spread in the room. Gu Zhiyan looked at the white hand in front of him and slowly raised his hand to hold it.
"Congratulations, Miss Jane, for bravely starting a new life."
His voice was a little deep, as if he was suppressing something. When it fell into the ears, it was like a feather brushing against the earlobe, making people shiver in their hearts.
Jian Yao blinked her eyes which were sore from staying up all night, and her heart felt warm when she heard Gu Zhiyan's words.
All these years, she has never lived for herself. It is time to abandon the past and start a new life.
Jian Yao adjusted the hem of her skirt, put on her bag, and frowned slightly, "Then I'll go back first. See you in three days?"
In the final analysis, I was the one who got the upper hand in this matter, so I shouldn't bother Gu Zhiyan to prepare with her.
Jian Yao was very grateful that he was able to arrive on time three days later.
Gu Zhiyan lowered his eyes to take a look at her feet. The black thin-strap high heels were eight centimeters high, making her delicate ankles look even slimmer.
So he stood up slowly and said, "I'll take you there."
Jian Yao paused as she was about to take a step, and said, "Thank you" without any refusal.
When the two passed each other, Gu Zhiyan lowered his head and looked at her deeply, "You're welcome."
"After all, we're getting engaged in three days, so it's only logical that I should go to the Jane family."
After Gu Zhiyan finished speaking, he was the first to walk out of the room. In order to take into account Jian Yao's speed, he walked very slowly.
Jian Yao looked at the tall figure of the man in front of him, thinking that the two of them were in a cooperative relationship and that he didn't need to put himself in a difficult position. However, when he saw him deliberately slowing down his pace, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
She and Gu Zhiyan were not very familiar with each other, but they had been in the same school for many years, so she had inevitably heard a lot about him.
What I heard most was that he had a good temper, was gentlemanly, polite, elegant and dignified.
Sending her back might just be a courtesy.
Jian Yao let out a breath and followed his pace.
Even after getting in the car, Jian Yao still felt confused, as if she was walking on clouds and couldn't get to the ground.
She just married herself off like this without knowing what was going on?
Still Gu Zhiyan.
If she went back and told her sister, she would suspect that Lu Chengze had pissed her off and made her stupid and she was daydreaming.
Thinking of her sister, Jian Yao immediately took out her cell phone.
Last night, she knew that Lu Chengze went to Shanghai to look for Liu Yiyi, and she was just sad. When she heard the phone ring, she turned the phone into muted mode without even looking at it.
The pendant on the phone is a beautiful crystal strawberry bear, and his and Lu Chengze's are a couple's pair.
Although he thought it was childish and inconsistent with his status, he never wore it and just hung it on his desk in the company.
But Jian Yao has always taken good care of it and would clean it carefully with a disinfectant wipe every day.
But when I see it now, I find it particularly dazzling.
Qing Lingling's gaze was fixed on the phone for two seconds, and her heart felt blocked.
With slender white fingers, he opened the phone case and threw it out along with the pendant as he passed by the trash can.
After dealing with the annoying things, Jian Yao turned on her phone and saw more than a dozen missed calls.
They are all simple and condensed.
Jian Yao felt a tingling sensation on his scalp and called back immediately.
The call was connected very quickly.
Even through the screen, I could hear the coldness in the woman's voice on the other end of the line.
"I'll give you half an hour. Come back immediately."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without giving Jian Yao any time to speak.
Jian Yao: “…”
Gu Zhiyan had been watching her since she threw the phone case away. Seeing that she looked unhappy, he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Jian Yao pursed her lips, feeling a little aggrieved, "My sister knows."
Jian Yao is actually the only daughter of the Jian family. The sister she is talking about is the fake daughter who was adopted by mistake. Because they had already developed feelings for each other after raising her for many years, she did not leave the Jian family and instead became Jian Yao's sister.
Unlike Jian Yao's naivety in the business world, Jian Ning was trained as an heir since childhood and had a great talent for business. After Jian's parents passed away, she successfully took over Jian's real estate.
It is also because of this that Jian Yao, the real rich girl, is more like a joke in the upper class circles.
Beijing is not that big, and Gu Zhiyan probably knows some of the twists and turns of the Jian family.
Gu Zhiyan's dark eyes were fixed on her knuckles that were tightly gripping the phone, "Are you afraid of her?"
Jian Yao smiled awkwardly, "It's not that she's afraid, it's just that she has always felt that Lu Chengze is unreliable and doesn't agree with us being together."
Jian Yao didn't need to say the rest, as Gu Zhiyan already understood.
He stretched out his tone, glanced at Jian Yao meaningfully, and whispered teasingly, "Your eyesight is indeed a little bit duller than your sister's."
Jian Yao: “…”
*
Jane's living room.
Wu Yue sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, took a sip of the tea on the table, and raised his chin slightly, "Boss Jian, I came here today to inform you that Boss Lu may not be able to attend the engagement party."
Jian Ning, dressed in a smart professional outfit, sat on the sofa, listening to Wu Yue's provocative words, with an expression unchanged on her delicately made-up face.
However, Secretary Li behind him couldn't help but take a step forward, but Jian Ning raised her hand to stop him.
Wu Yue noticed the actions of the two people and couldn't help but smile contemptuously.
"This is the guest list from the Lu family. Mr. Lu asked me to deliver it." He threw the folder in front of Jian Ning and said in a mocking tone, "Take a look at this and send out the invitations as soon as possible."
Secretary Li was so angry that his spine itched. Looking at Wu Yue's arrogant look, he wanted to pick up the folder on the table and smash him in the face, telling him to get out of the Jian family immediately.
But he didn't dare.
Miss Jian Yao didn't know what kind of spell had been cast on her, but she was determined to be with Lu Chengze.
Today, they were chased away, and when things started to get fussy again, it was still Miss Jian Yao who was wronged.
Secretary Li suppressed his anger and felt that Mr. Jian should really take Miss Jian Yao to see an ophthalmologist.
There are tens of thousands of men in the world, why did you fall for Lu Chengze?
Even if they just keep a few gigolos? The Jian family can afford it, so why bother spending money and effort and still have to look at other people's faces?
