Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Chapter 69
Seeing Gu Ting's speechless and disgusted expression, Yan Xiu couldn't help but laugh along. After a moment, he stopped laughing and said seriously, "I was joking. Qin Wei's behavior is unfitting for a father, let alone a human being. He's too dangerous."
Gu Ting agreed, and after a moment's thought, he asked sincerely, "How rich is Qin Wei? How does he compare to the Yan family?"
Yan Xiu raised the corner of his lips, his eyes darkening. "Not as good as the Yan family, but he knows how to do business. He must be worth hundreds of millions at least."
Gu Ting's eyes lit up, and he said sinisterly, "Do you think it would be possible for me to take away all his business, bankrupt him, and leave him wandering the streets as a beggar?"
If he is unkind, don't blame yourself for being unjust. If he has no father-daughter love and instead sets traps and murders many times, which is worse than ordinary people, don't blame yourself for being cruel and ruthless.
Having said that, she and Qin Wei are exactly the same in terms of cruelty. Who says this isn't hereditary?
Yan Xiu was stuck. If this happened to an ordinary person, he would just think it was a joke. It would be difficult to bring down a smart man with a net worth of hundreds of millions. But if it happened to Gu Ting...
"This matter is more complicated than I imagined. First, he has a wealthy family. Second, he has a powerful older brother. With his backing, no one dares to provoke him."
Gu Ting couldn't help but frown.
Qin Wei is too dangerous. She can't know that someone is full of malice towards her and can harm her at any time, but she has no means of counterattack. Wouldn't her future life be in danger at any time?
Seeing that Gu Ting’s brows were getting tighter and tighter, Yan Xiu couldn’t help but want to raise his hand.
"I don't care, I will kill him sooner or later!" Gu Ting said viciously.
Yan Xiu suddenly withdrew his hand, lowered his eyes to look at the water cup, and the ripples in the cup seemed to reach his heart.
"Don't be afraid, I will help you." Yan Xiu heard himself say this.
After the two chatted for a while, Gu Ting saw that it was almost time, so he took out some meat, preserved eggs, vegetables, etc. from the refrigerator and prepared dinner.
Yan Xiu stood at the back and took a look before asking, "Preserved egg and lean meat porridge? You know I just moved into a new house and we're short on rice, grain, and vegetables. Do you mind if I cook for you in exchange for dinner? I cooked when I was studying abroad, so my cooking skills are pretty good."
Gu Ting couldn't help but look sideways, and without hesitation made a "please" gesture, willingly giving up his position.
Later, Yan Xiu was cutting vegetables while Gu Ting was supervising him. After watching for a while and realizing that he really had the demeanor of a cook, he returned to the sofa with peace of mind and fell asleep without realizing it.
Gu Ting was awakened by a ringing bell. When she opened her eyes, the only light in the living room was the dim light of a floor lamp, which blended softly into the darkness. She didn't know when a blanket had been covered on her body. There was a thermos and a box of medicine on the table, and the aroma of rice porridge hit her nose.
She was stunned for a moment until she was interrupted by the doorbell. She stretched herself up, wrapped herself in a blanket and went to open the door.
When she opened the door and saw the person standing outside, she was stunned.
The first one was Yan Xiu. He must have gone back to his new home to wash up and shave off the newly grown stubble, regaining his handsome appearance. It was also obvious that he had lost weight, and his facial features were more three-dimensional. Under the interlaced light and shadow, he looked as profound as a sculpture, and his eyes were the finishing touch, shining brightly.
The second person was an unexpected guest. Gu Ting took two glances before recognizing him. It turned out to be the youngest son of Gu Ting and Zeng Maluyong who helped the old lady. If he remembered correctly, his name should be Fang Yibai.
She could not have imagined that the third visitor would be the first person she met after traveling back in time - Wang Mingxiao. Compared with the last time they met, Wang Mingxiao was obviously in much better spirits, and his melancholy temperament had faded a lot, making him look more like a noble young man.
Gu Ting was deeply impressed by him and felt even more sympathetic towards him. When he saw him for the first time, he almost couldn't control his curious gaze.
Wang Mingxiao almost turned his back, if there weren't two grown men standing beside him, he would have tried hard to keep his composure, but his face was visibly darker.
These three unrelated people appeared at his doorstep at the same time. Three handsome guys in the same frame was something Gu Ting had never imagined.
Yan Xiu seemed unaware of the strange atmosphere and said with a smile, "Let me see if the porridge is ready." Then he walked in first.
A gust of cold wind blew over, and Gu Ting came back to his senses. "It's quite cold outside. Come in if you have anything to say."
Wang Mingxiao and Fang Yibai looked at each other and saw that there was already a man in the room, so they went in.
Gu Ting raised his eyebrows slightly, it seemed that the two of them actually knew each other.
After the two of them sat down, Gu Ting joked, "It's not such a coincidence, you two also live in this neighborhood, right?"
Fang Yibai and Wang Mingxiao withdrew their gazes from the person in the kitchen. Fang Yibai, the older man, smiled as gently as ever. "I came to see Mingxiao today and unexpectedly saw Miss Gu. Mingxiao happened to say he knew you, so I took the liberty of visiting. I hope I didn't disturb you."
Gu Ting blinked, "What a coincidence. How is the old lady doing recently?"
Fang Yibai's smile deepened a little. This man's appearance was not as outstanding as Yan Xiu and Wang Mingxiao, but he had a better temperament. He was clean and pure, which made people feel close to him when they saw him. Especially when he smiled, he looked particularly beautiful.
"My mother is in good health. Thank you for your concern. But she has a good memory. She hasn't been able to see you again, and she keeps thinking about you." He smiled and said, "Zhu Yu also often mentioned you and urged me to treat you to dinner. I was embarrassed to tell her that Miss Gu seemed to have changed her phone number and I didn't have her contact information."
Gu Ting pinched her nose. It was true that being in the entertainment industry meant being very busy. She had no time to care about other trivial matters after work. The Fang family incident happened only a month or so ago, but she felt as if she was in another world.
"When did Zhuyu start chasing stars?" Wang Mingxiao was quite surprised.
Meeting Gu Ting's gaze, Wang Mingxiao cleared his throat and said, "The old lady is my aunt. Thank you for sending my aunt to the hospital in time."
It turns out that Wang Mingxiao and Fang Yibai are relatives. Gu Ting suddenly felt that the world is a circle and couldn't help but complain: "My boss's last name is also Wang, Wang Jingwei. Could she be a relative of yours?"
At this time, Yan Xiu came out from the kitchen, poured a glass of water for Wang Fang and the other two, and sat down on the double sofa where Gu Ting was very naturally, with a relaxed posture, as if he was the male owner of this house.
Wang Mingxiao and Fang Yibai couldn't help but look at the man next to Gu Ting. When their eyes met, the three of them smiled at the same time, but the smiles seemed a little fake.
Wang Mingxiao quickly looked away and replied concisely: "Wang Jingwei is my eldest cousin from my uncle's family."
Gu Ting: "..." What a small world! Could it be that all the prominent figures in City A are closely related to the Wang family?
Wang Mingxiao couldn't help but look away again: "This guy looks familiar. Where have I seen him before?"
Yan Xiu crossed her long legs, her posture relaxed and elegant. "I met you at the cooperation conference between Yan and Wang last year. I'm Yan Xiu, nice to meet you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Mingxiao and Fang Yibai stopped their casual posture, straightened their expressions, and extended their hands to shake hands with Yan Xiu one after another.
Fang Yibai said, "I heard that Mr. Yan is going to establish a new technology company in City A, involving several scientific research projects, and he may even invite the foreign master Ross Qian's team to join. I am very optimistic about your new project."
Yan Xiu responded calmly: "Thank you. If I need Director Fang's help in the future, please bear with me."
Gu Ting: “???” What? Director Fang?
Wang Mingxiao's smile became more genuine, and he said excitedly, "I'm very interested in several projects in your company. I happened to meet the boss today. Can we talk about investment?"
Yan Xiu turned sideways to look at Gu Ting, a smile on his face: "You and Ting Ting should talk first, we will make an appointment later."
Gu Ting glanced at him with wide eyes. Didn't she say that she was the one who would help him when he encountered investment difficulties? She saw that many people wanted to invest in his company!
After saying this, Wang Mingxiao and Fang Yibai's smiles froze, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on their faces.
The two exchanged glances, and Wang Mingxiao awkwardly placed a small USB drive on the table. Gu Ting looked inquiringly at him, then glanced at Yan Xiu before finally explaining, "It's a fake recording and video. You'll know once you've seen it. Ahem... it's better not to watch it, to avoid polluting your ears. You and I both know this is definitely a fake. I just don't know how many copies there are. If there are backups posted online, it will... have a huge impact on you."
Gu Ting immediately understood what he meant. So the content in this USB drive was about her and Wang Mingxiao. That must be the first night she was alone with Wang Mingxiao in the hotel after she traveled back in time. But what the hell was the audio? It was clear that nothing happened between her and Wang Mingxiao, but judging from Wang Mingxiao's expression, the two people in the USB drive probably not only did something happen, but it happened very "excitingly".
Otherwise he wouldn't have the expression of someone who had swallowed a fly.
Gu Ting's face turned green instantly. No one would be happy if such obscene rumors were spread. If such a video recording were posted online, it would definitely blow up all the servers of social media. The greater her celebrity reputation, the more severe her fall would be and the more fierce the criticism would be. Throwing rotten eggs, throwing dog shit and sending wreaths were still the least of her worries. She was afraid that she would be a rat crossing the street for the rest of her life and would never have to go out to see people again. Her life would end here.
Although she has experienced a lot, the evil of human nature still makes her shudder.
But at the same time, she also felt a sense of relief that the sword hanging over her head had finally fallen. She did not ignore the "scandal" that Hanna mentioned at the time, and she also speculated whether it was related to Wang Mingxiao, but she really had no clue and had no way to investigate.
Although she became very famous and had a lot of money, her connections and relationships were still too shallow.
After digesting it for a moment, Gu Ting slowly calmed down. She subconsciously glanced at the person sitting next to her and saw that Yan Xiu had sat up straight at some point, his face even uglier than hers, but when his eyes met her, he immediately softened.
With just one look, Gu Ting understood what he meant. He had no hesitation, let alone doubt. There was only something that made Gu Ting feel at ease and excited.
In just two days, her life experience, biological parents, fake videos... all kinds of events hit her like a storm. She was like a small boat drifting in the sea, helpless. She believed that she could get through it like before, but if there was someone who firmly supported her and accompanied her, and the two of them overcame the difficulties together, it would be a rare thing.
The moment Gu Ting looked away, Yan Xiu's eyes suddenly turned cold. It was an expression that Gu Ting had never seen before, and it was very different from his gentle and calm temperament. Fang Yibai looked sideways, and Wang Mingxiao felt that the air was a little stagnant, especially the way Yan Xiu looked at him, which made him feel a chill on his back.
The three of them looked at each other silently for a few seconds, and it was unclear what agreement they reached. No one continued to talk about the issue.
When he looked again, Yan Xiu had regained his composure and was chatting casually with Gu Ting, saying, "The porridge is almost ready. I'm going to stir-fry two dishes. Can you help me pick the vegetables?"
Fang Yibai stood up wisely, walked to the door and then turned back, saying helplessly: "Miss Gu, can you add me as a friend? I can also give an explanation to the old lady and Zhu Yu."
Fang Yibai was helping her out of kindness, so Gu Ting naturally treated him as a friend and added him.
Fang Yibai returned satisfied. Wang Mingxiao hesitated for a moment and waved at Fang Yibai: "Yibai, don't you have to go back to work overtime tonight? I need to discuss a business deal with Miss Gu. You can go first."
Fang Yibai almost wrote "I don't believe you" on his face, but his legs still left Gu Ting's house.
Gu Ting's eyes rolled, and he sat down on the sofa with his arms folded, looking calm and composed, like a malicious and profiteer.
"Why, my ancestral recipe is very effective, right?"
Wang Mingxiao's melancholy temperament was instantly broken, and he almost covered Gu Ting's mouth with his own hands.
