Gu Xiuyuan did not mention the details of this "business trip", and Ji Shuyu did not ask.
As the New Year approaches, they start buying New Year's things.
After relaxing, grandma also visited some old friends and stayed abroad for the New Year and would not come back.
Since grandma is not around, Gu Xiuyuan and his two children no longer have the need to go back home to celebrate the New Year.
"Xiao Yu, should we buy some things and send them back to the orphanage?" Gu Xiuyuan asked casually.
"Sure!" Ji Shuyu concentrated on picking out daily necessities for the New Year.
Although they were just some trivial little things, she selected them with great care.
During the years I lived in Hong Kong, my aunt bought all my daily necessities.
After marriage, although she was not the one choosing, Gu Xiuyuan at that time had neither the time nor the patience to accompany her.
This is the first time that the family has bought these little things together!
"Would you like to see this one?" She picked one and was about to show it to Gu Xiuyuan.
From tooth cups to hand towels, all the items chosen are couple's styles.
"Look." Gu Xiuyuan smiled and kissed her cheek. "By the way, speaking of the orphanage, did you have any good friends back then?"
Ji Shuyu paused for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't have any impression."
There, there are only dark memories.
Because she was thin, she was always bullied.
She was adopted once, but someone died in her adoptive family. After she was sent to a foreign country, she was bullied even more miserably.
Seeing her suddenly sad face, Gu Xiuyuan hugged her distressedly, "Did they all bully you?"
Ji Shuyu smiled bitterly, then shook her head: "It's all over."
Gu Xiuyuan felt distressed and regretted trying to trick her.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought this up. I'm sorry."
Ji Shuyu shook her head. "But why are you asking these questions all of a sudden?"
She felt strange.
"Nothing, I just mentioned that I wanted to send something and wanted to ask about your childhood." Gu Xiuyuan said, hugging her tightly.
He just didn't find anything useful at A㹐's adoption registration office, so he wanted to see if she had any friends.
"From now on, we won't mention it anymore."
"It's nothing, actually." She smiled. "Didn't I meet you?"
She looked up at him, then held his hand tightly. "All the unpleasantness is over."
Gu Xiuyuan's heart trembled when he heard this, and then he hugged her tightly.
The two of them hugged each other tightly, and when he looked up, he saw a figure quickly dodging behind the elevator.
Gu Xiuyuan frowned, then hinted to the bodyguards, and several people surrounded and dragged the person who was following him out.
…
Xia Mei had just finished a social event when she received the call from her bodyguard.
The bodyguard said that the colleague who was in charge of surveillance had been discovered, and at this time the person had been beaten and sent to the hospital.
Xia Mei was so angry that she threw her phone away.
After Huo Yuxuan returned to D�, the company's business ran into problems one after another.
For so many days, she went to Xiuyuan's house to apologize again and again, but he turned a deaf ear to her and said he was busy. But why did he go to the orphanage when he was so busy!
Could it be that that woman's feelings are more important than the Gu family?!
At this moment, Xia Mei suddenly regretted and blamed herself for forcing her son to marry her!
wrong!
She should regret not really finding an old man for Ji Shuyu to marry!
Thinking of the dispute with Guo Xian, she felt even more angry.
At that time, he didn't dare to confront her, but after two years, he began to deliberately go against her!
Gu Xiuyuan, do you really think you have grown strong enough?
Don't forget, I'm your mom!!
When Xia Mei returned home, the lights were not on and the whole house was pitch dark.
As soon as she entered the door, she felt a strong sense of suffocation.
Hearing Xia Mei's voice, the servant immediately prepared supper as usual.
When I pushed open the bedroom door, Gu Bin was drawing in front of the drawing board.
Xia Mei's eyes turned cold as she looked at him. She took a few steps over and overturned the easel with one hand.
Gu Bin glanced at her coldly.
Looking at the landscape painting on the drawing board, Xia Mei suppressed the distortion in her eyes and said, "Didn't I tell you not to paint?"
Her voice was gentle, but her eyes hid a sick smile.
She put down her bag and said, "Haven't you eaten yet? I'll keep you company!"
She came directly to push the wheelchair, and Gu Bin couldn't even refuse her.
"Mom isn't coming back this year, and Xiuyuan probably won't be coming back either. This is the first time in so many years that just my husband and I are celebrating the New Year together!"
Gu Bin suddenly smiled when he heard this, "Husband and wife?"
"How about this?" Xia Mei smiled and pushed him down the elevator.
This was installed after Gu Bin's amputation, but every time he went up and down here, he felt only humiliation in his heart.
Xia Mei considerately pushed him to wash and dry his hands, and then took him to sit at the dining table.
Midnight snacks, as always, are his favorite.
"I'm going to take a trip to Dhaka tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"
Gu Bin listened and looked up.
"The company had already signed a contract with the Huo family, but Xiuyuan offended Miss Huo, so I have to deal with it."
"That kid from the Huo family, are you serious?"
"Is there anything wrong?" Xia Mei asked. "Given the status of the Huo family, we are too high to marry."
"But you should know that Xiuyuan has someone in his heart."
"You are determined to go against me, right?" Xia Mei raised her eyes.
"Back then, I didn't like that little bitch Su Yan, but you were always worried about your son. Now that I'm interested in Huo Yuxuan, you're rebelling again." Her expression gradually turned cold. "Gu Bin, aren't we different at all?"
Her voice was calm, but her eyes were full of menace.
Gu Bin looked at Xia Mei opposite him, and a smile suddenly appeared in his lowered eyes...
"Whatever you want, as long as... you don't regret it."
"regret?"
Oh……
Xia Mei wiped the corner of her mouth gracefully, "I will only... make those who make me regret more."
Yeah?
Gu Bin did not answer, but a smile appeared on his lips.
I promise you will regret it.
…
Xia Mei didn't see anyone from the Huo family, so she came back and scolded Gu Xiuyuan again.
Zhou Rui stood aside, feeling a little worried.
The company has been affected recently and the board of directors has expressed strong opinions.
"Boss." Zhou Rui hesitated, "Actually, if you have anything to say, you should just sit down and talk with Director Dong! It's not a good idea to be so stubborn."
"You've been at Gu's for almost a year, right?"
The implication is that talking is useless!
In front of my mother, there is no talking, only compromise.
Just like she said at the beginning, if she didn't marry Xiaoyu, she would just find an old man to marry her.
She will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.
After hearing Xiaoyu's question, he asked about Su Yan's situation and found out what methods she used to torture Su Yan.
He knew that his mother was threatening Xiaoyu on the surface, but in fact she was threatening him.
"But, Dong Chen will..."
"Why, do I have to sell myself to Gu's?" He laughed. "At worst, I'll resign."
He said it nonchalantly, and Zhou Rui adjusted his glasses.
"But the company has already signed a contract with the Huo family. Our funds have been invested there first. If the Huo family deliberately makes things difficult for us, we will be in a passive position."
Gu Xiuyuan rubbed his brows. Although this was an existential risk, it was a common practice in the business world, and the Huo family shouldn't go to such lengths.
"Hey, I understand." He rubbed his brows, "Go home early after get off work!"
Gu Xiuyuan also stood up and was about to pack his things when his aunt suddenly called: "Sir, the young lady said she feels uncomfortable in her stomach. Please come back and see her soon..."
