Chapter 2
02
Wang Zhi subconsciously smiled at Gao Bochong, and the small dimple on his left cheek was deep and sweet.
Gao Bochong finally withdrew his gaze: "Sit down."
He speaks tersely and seems difficult to please or get close to.
Wang Zhi sat down and played the role of a wallflower, listening to the two brothers' conversation -
What they talked about were not some secrets of wealthy families as one might imagine. Most of the time, Gao Fengming was reporting on his work. Gao Bochong occasionally spoke, but mostly criticized. After just a few words, Gao Fengming was sweating profusely.
Although it's not quite the same as meeting the parents I imagined...
But it feels so good to hear Gao Fengming being scolded!
Wang Zhi was listening so intently that she almost couldn't help laughing out loud. She quickly took the time to pick up some fish fillets for Gao Fengming and pretended to be virtuous and put them on Gao Fengming's plate.
Gao Fengming was criticized by Gao Bochong for being useless. Now everything he ate tasted like chewing wax. He swallowed the peppercorns that Wang Zhi had put in the fish slices and couldn't help coughing.
Wang Zhi looked concerned as he brought him some water, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gao Bochong also drinking water.
His palm was very big, and he held the cup, wrapping the glass. On his little finger was a wide gold ring. The hollow ring face had intricate patterns and was inlaid with several violet gems, which flickered with uncertain light.
Dangerous and mysterious.
Need to stay away.
Wang Zhi had always been indifferent to people with obvious carnivorous traits. After all, if he wanted to catch a rich kid, the dumber he was, the easier it would be to take the bait. If he had known that Gao Fengming had such a brother, Wang Zhi might have considered it...
Why does this ring look familiar?
Perhaps because Wang Zhi's gaze stayed on him for too long, Gao Bochong suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze sharp, as if he could see through what Wang Zhi was thinking.
Wang Zhi quickly avoided the sight, but his heart beat a little faster.
No wonder Gao Fengming is so afraid of him.
If it were me, I would also be a little scared.
Wang Zhi was absent-minded during the meal. Afterwards, Gao Bochong stood up and said, "Come to my study."
This is definitely not said to myself.
Wang Zhi looked at Gao Fengming and saw that he had a heavy expression on his face, as if he was about to be scolded again. He whispered to him, "Brother, should I go too?"
Gao Fengming didn't know why his elder brother specifically called him to the study. It was just that from childhood to adulthood, the study was like a forbidden place. Anything that was worthy of his elder brother specifically calling him to the study was mostly not a good thing. There were too many scenes of him being scolded in the study, and Gao Fengming felt a little nervous when he thought about it.
Could it be that my elder brother is against my engagement with Wang Zhi?
Thinking of this, Gao Fengming said vaguely: "Wait for me outside first."
Wang Zhi observed his expression and hugged his arm: "Brother, big brother... don't you like me?"
Gao Fengming whispered, "He doesn't like anyone."
Wang Zhi asked, "What?"
Gao Fengming then said, "Nothing."
Wang Zhi was most annoyed by the way he hesitated and only said half of what he wanted to say. He really wanted to pinch his neck and shake it a few times.
On the surface, Wang Zhi lowered his eyes and said softly, "Brother, I just want to be with you. If you object, I am willing to follow you without any status, as long as you don't drive me away."
He emphasized the words "no name and no status" to highlight his willingness to sacrifice for love, and finally said the words "don't chase me away" softly with trembling, expressing his understanding and forbearance of compromise.
Wow, my acting is really good!
Wang Zhi was immersed in admiring his own acting skills, and Gao Fengming was also somewhat moved: "I understand your heart."
Wang Zhi looked at him with blazing eyes, her fair face radiating a radiant glow under the light. Gao Fengming seemed bewitched and subconsciously opened his mouth to promise, but the old housekeeper suddenly whispered, "Master, the master has been waiting for you in the study for a long time."
Gao Fengming was suddenly brought back to reality and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
I actually left my elder brother there!
Gao Fengming didn't bother to comfort Wang Zhi and left in a hurry.
Wang Zhi followed him and felt a little sorry.
Although Gao Fengming had many flaws, he had one great thing going for him: he could do most of what he said. If I had just promised him, I would bite the bullet and do my best to fulfill it.
Alas, can I marry into the Gao family?
If not, can Gao Fengming compensate him for the breakup fee?
-
In the study, Gao Bochong was sitting behind the table, looking down at the documents.
The information contains Wang Zhi’s fulfilling life.
He came from a single-parent family. His father died early and his mother raised him alone. He had excellent grades and had always been at the top of the class since elementary school. With his own efforts, he was admitted to a famous private middle school from the worst school.
He was once bullied, but it soon ended, and he became the most popular person in the school, always surrounded by a group of friends.
He was admitted directly from high school, won many competition championships, gave up on direct admission, and aimed to go to the best two universities. However, he accidentally fell into the water before the college entrance examination and had a high fever, which caused him to fail the exam and he was only admitted to an ordinary university.
After entering university, she started working part-time as a model because of her outstanding appearance. After graduation, she naturally entered the entertainment industry. However, because she had no background, she had been stuck in third- and fourth-tier cities.
From his birth, childhood, school days, to the present day, every detail is so clear that even if Wang Zhi himself were still alive, he would not remember it so clearly.
At the end of the information, there is a photo of Wang Zhi’s ID.
With black hair and a blue striped shirt, she faces the camera with the corners of her lips slightly raised, her lips are rosy and plump, and her eyes are clear, as if they are holding a pool of water.
It's so beautiful that it looks like it has been retouched.
But compared with the real person, it seems much inferior.
The real person's face is smaller, the eyes are bigger, and the eyes are more lively when looking at people.
When her eyes looked over, they seemed to be seducing people.
So unphotogenic.
No wonder he has such a face and can only play small supporting roles.
The tablet emitted a cold blue light, which fell on Gao Bochong's eyebrows and eyes, making his already cold facial features outline a solemn arc.
The room was very quiet. Gao Fengming became more and more nervous and had no idea what Gao Bochong was thinking.
Gao Bochong suddenly asked, "How did you and Wang Zhi know each other?"
Gao Fengming didn't expect him to ask this, and subconsciously answered: "Drinking party."
Gao Bochong asked, "What kind of drinking party?"
Gao Fengming: "It's... it's the group formed by those friends."
Gao Bochong: "What friends?"
Although Gao Bochong had often asked about his daily life before, he had never been so detailed.
Gao Fengming was sweating profusely from being asked this question, and had no choice but to say, "Brother, I was wrong. They were just some bad friends, and I no longer associate with them."
Gao Bochong sneered.
As expected.
A pretty young actress, a rich young man, and a not-so-serious drinking party.
My stupid brother has become someone else's fish without realizing it and actually brought the person back.
Gao Bochong said coldly: "Idiot..."
Gao Bochong glanced at the photo on the tablet and noticed that the young actor had a pair of alluring eyes, with the corners of their eyes slightly raised, making them look particularly charming and sentimental. However, because of their innocent and natural expression, their full eye bags when they smiled made them look harmless and well-behaved, and when they cried, they became even more pitiful...
Gao Bochong suddenly stopped talking, and Gao Fengming asked nervously in a low voice, "Brother?"
Gao Bochong frowned and turned off the tablet, but didn't continue what he was about to say: "What about Jiang Xubai?"
Jiang Xubai.
As soon as the name came out, Gao Fengming's expression darkened. "I've already finished with him. He abandoned me. I've waited for him for so many years. I've done my best."
…
Gao Bo Chong pinched his eyebrows, he really didn't want to see Gao Fengming's romantic attitude.
But Gao Fengming couldn't read the air and continued affectionately: "Brother, I did love him, but now I like Zhizhi. I want to get engaged to him and don't want him to follow me without a name or status!"
——If Wang Zhi were here, he would definitely give himself a thumbs up.
His performance just now was not in vain. Didn’t Gao Fengming remember the four words “no name and no status”?
Gao Bochong said calmly, "Shut up."
Gao Fengming realized it later and when he saw his brother's impatient expression, he quickly shut up.
Gao Bochong then said, "This is your own business. If you want to get engaged to him, then do it. You haven't been to the company much lately, and the HR department has reported it to me. I want you to go to work, not just sit there and do nothing."
When work was mentioned, Gao Fengming became dispirited: "Yes, big brother."
Gao Bochong said, "Let him in."
Gao Fengming hurried to call for help.
Outside the door, Wang Zhi was waiting there bored. When he heard the voice, he instinctively smiled with a smile that was three parts bright and seven parts concerned: "Brother, are you okay?"
Gao Fengming said: "It's okay, big brother wants to see you."
Wang Zhi was a little surprised.
Just now during the meal, Gao Bo Chong didn't say a word to him. Although he said he was going to meet the parents, there was actually no room for him to show his abilities. It was as if Gao Bo Chong was there just to take time out for a meal.
Either she didn't like him, or for Gao Bochong, Gao Fengming's marriage was just a small matter, and it was a rare thing for him to take the time to meet him.
This is a wealthy family!
If he really can't get married, he can just create a pseudonym and write explosive posts. Maybe he can become famous?
Wang Zhi didn't expect that he would be able to meet Gao Bochong for the second time. He kept a calm mind and kept his head down when he went in.
There was no carpet in the study, and the black walnut floor was so shiny that you could see through it. Gao Bochong was behind the desk. When he saw the two people come in, he didn't say anything. He just took out a velvet box, opened it, and revealed a string of jade emerald collars.
The jade is obviously of top quality at first glance, with rich and clear color and excellent water content. The green is like the blue waves of a deep lake, and it seems to be still flowing on the black velvet background.
A poor fellow like Wang Zhi, with nothing better to do, liked to try his luck at living the life of the rich. He remembered buying a jadeite set at Christie's, which fetched a staggering 430 million yuan. Even if there was water in the jade, the true value wouldn't be less than tens of millions. This necklace, with its excellent quality and color, would fetch a price?
Wang Zhi's mind raced as he heard Gao Fengming say, "Brother, is this the jade string you bought from Brother Han for over six million last time?"
Six million!
Wang Zhi felt a little dizzy.
Why did Gao Bochong suddenly take this out? It couldn't be for him to admire...
Is this his severance pay?
——Alright!
Gao Bochong ignored Gao Fengming and only said to Wang Zhi, "This is our first meeting, but from now on we'll be family. This is a meeting gift."
Wang Zhi couldn't hear what he was saying at all, and said affectionately, "I do!"
Gao Bochong:?
Wang Zhi realized something was wrong, coughed, and quickly changed his words: "Brother, what I mean is that I am willing to stay with Feng Ming for the rest of my life and be his closest lover and most reliable family member. But this gift is too valuable, I can't accept it."
After Wang Zhi finished speaking, he looked at Gao Fengming affectionately, but in fact his eyes were always fixed on the collar.
So beautiful.
No wonder the eyes of my lover are the eighth ocean.
He seemed to have been bewitched.
But you still have to be polite, otherwise it will seem like he is only here for the money.
——That’s true though :D
According to social etiquette, Gao Bochong should insist a little longer. Wang Zhi was ready and would not refuse again. As long as Gao Bochong opened his mouth again, he would accept it immediately.
But Gao Bochong looked at Wang Zhi, his expression expressionless. Only his eyes flickered behind his glasses, and then he tapped the table lightly with his fingertips. The ring on his little finger flickered with his movements, as if he were a large hunter teasing his prey. "Okay."
?
What does good mean?
Wang Zhi's pupils trembled as he watched Gao Bochong casually close the lid of the box and push it aside.
So the good thing is, if he doesn’t want it, Gao Bochong won’t give it to him?!
But he is just being humble!!!
Wang Zhi was completely lost in thought even after leaving the study, but Gao Fengming simply thought he was too surprised.
Big brother agreed that they should be together!
He missed Jiang Xubai at the beginning, but now he is different. He will not repeat the same mistake and can choose his own love!
Gao Fengming hugged Wang Zhi tightly in his arms, looking at Wang Zhi's face, he couldn't tell the excitement in his heart, whether it was because he loved Wang Zhi, or because he could finally make his own decisions.
"Chizhi," he said affectionately, "It's like a dream."
Wang Zhi leaned weakly in his arms and closed his eyes: "Yeah... It really feels like a dream."
He almost had a gift worth six million.
Just a little bit!
Does Gao Bo Chong understand what giving a gift means? How can he take back a gift he has given away?
I could still see Gao Bochong's hand, casually and gracefully taking back his six million...
etc.
Suddenly, an image flashed through his mind. He was being pressed in front of the sink, his arms weakly supporting the marble countertop, and a large hand pinching the back of his neck. He couldn't turn around, and could only see in the mirror his hand clamped on his waist, with a ring on his little finger. The ring had intricate lines and was strewn with several violet gems. In the dim light, it emitted a mysterious and dangerous glow.
…
Wang Zhi suddenly opened his eyes and froze there in disbelief.
How is that possible!
Gao Fengming was still excited when he suddenly heard Wang Zhi calling him softly from his arms: "Brother..."
Gao Fengming asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Zhi's voice trembled a little: "Brother, what brand is that pinky ring he's wearing?"
Gao Fengming couldn't help but laugh. "Silly boy! The ring that Big Brother wears is a symbol of our Gao family, passed down from generation to generation. There's only one like it in the entire world. How can any other brand name compare to it?"
The person in his arms remained silent for a long time. Gao Fengming, in a good mood, asked considerately, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." After a long while, Wang Zhi said quietly, "I was just thinking..."
Could it be such a coincidence that the person he slept with that night was Gao Bochong?!
