Gu Fanyan was too preoccupied to notice, and kept her head down until her tears dried slightly before raising her face.
By this time, she had calmed down.
“Zixin, thank you for what you did just now,” she said in a hoarse voice. “If you hadn’t suddenly appeared, I might have softened and fallen into another painful cycle.”
Liang Zixin smiled and said, "You...don't have enough faith in him."
Gu Fanyan shook her head; this wasn't a matter of confidence.
“Alright,” Liang Zixin patted her shoulder, “Don’t worry. No matter what, we are Liang Mufan’s parents. Whether to take a step forward or retreat to where we are, the initiative is yours.”
He also had no intention of delving into the deep-seated pain she didn't want to talk about.
Gu Fanyan sat alone in the garden for a while when she suddenly heard the roar of a sports car engine.
She looked in the direction of the sound, and although she didn't recognize the sports car, she instinctively knew that the driver was Lin Zhibai.
This car is going very fast.
The accelerator was almost floored.
The booming sound was unsettling.
Dai Lili also heard the sound. She got up and went to the balcony, gazing at the receding car.
Footsteps sounded behind me.
She recognized the voice as belonging to her son, Liang Zixin's father, and asked, "Why did Young Master Lin leave so suddenly?"
“Yes, they suddenly said they were leaving,” Mr. Liang said with concern. “Mom, I have a feeling that things are about to get rough for the Liang family!”
Dai Lili felt the same way.
Mr. Liang sighed softly, "It was just a coincidence that Zixin and Miss Gu became friends. We didn't benefit from it. Let's hope they don't get into any trouble."
"Are you afraid of the Lin family?" Dai Lili asked.
“It’s not that we’re afraid. The Liang family isn’t afraid of anyone, but it’s never good to make enemies.” Father Liang said calmly and steadily.
“Yes,” Dai Lili nodded seriously, “Although Lin Zhibai is now in charge of the Lin family, he doesn’t have the final say on major company decisions.”
"Don't worry unnecessarily. Let's talk about it when something really happens."
Liang's father had no choice but to give up.
Gu Fanyan silently walked out of the Liang family's living room.
She had originally intended to say goodbye to Dai Lili, but happened to overhear what Dai Lili and her son were saying.
After thinking about it, she realized that if she went in then, all three of them would feel awkward.
So she quietly turned and left.
"Miss Gu, where are you going?" The butler bumped into her. "You haven't had dinner yet, come in and have something to eat."
"No, thank you," Gu Fanyan smiled slightly. "Please tell Grandma to call me immediately if anything happens."
After saying that, Gu Fanyan turned and left.
The butler was completely baffled by this nonsensical remark and hurried inside to find Liang Zixin, hoping to at least see Miss Gu off.
However, when he found Liang Zixin, the sound of a car engine could already be heard in the garden.
"There's a driver at the garage; he must have taken Miss Gu out," the butler guessed.
"Let her calm down," Liang Zixin said with a sigh.
A household registration certificate from the country was presented to Lin Zhibai.
Indeed, the family's names were written in a foreign language on it.
Father: Liang Zixin.
Mother: Gu Fanyan.
Son: Liang Mufan.
Lin Zhibai's face darkened with anger. He grabbed the household registration paper and crumpled it up.
"Young Master Lin..." the assistant called out softly.
This household registration certificate is made of thick paper, and crumpling it like this will hurt your hands.
Sure enough, a trickle of blood flowed from between Lin Zhibai's fingers.
Lin Zhibai didn't care at all, his eyes filled with hatred: "Have you thoroughly investigated the Liang family's information?"
The assistant shook his head: "We've only found out part of it so far... Young Master Lin, the Liang family has deep roots here, and their network of relationships is very complex. It won't be an easy task to figure them out."
Lin Zhibai's hatred intensified: "So what? No matter how much effort or money it takes, you'd better find out the truth!"
"Yes," was the only answer the assistant could give.
But I was very worried.
This was the first time in three years that he had seen Lin Shao act so impulsively. In Lin Shao's eyes, he saw an impulse like a moth drawn to a flame.
For Young Master Lin, Miss Gu is a calamity.
Before leaving, Gu Fanyan had to attend a bidding meeting.
A project in collaboration with Liang Zixin's company.
When Liang Zixin was just 20 years old, she left the Liang Group and established a branch company specializing in advertising and media businesses.
Over the years, the branch company has flourished and is now considered the industry leader in the country.
So today's bidding meeting is just a formality.
Gu Fanyan drove to the venue. As soon as the car stopped, the passenger door was opened and Liang Zixin got in.
“The situation has changed.” He said gravely. “The bidding company told me that Sanshu Company has been very active these past two days and is determined to win this project.”
Gu Fanyan knew that this "Sanshu" company had always been Liang Zixin's company's rival, but it had never won against them on reliable large projects.
It's just that there are always customers looking for affordable alternatives, so it never lacks work.
"Why is it suddenly so confident? Before, when you were determined to win a project, it wouldn't even submit a bid," Gu Fanyan asked. "Did it find a big investor?"
Liang Zixin sneered: "Guess who the big spender is?"
Gu Fanyan's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be Lin Zhibai?"
Liang Zixin's expression already gave an affirmative answer.
When the two arrived at the bidding site, Gu Fanyan spotted Lin Zhibai at a glance.
The person issuing the bid spoke to him with great respect, while Mr. Wang, the owner of Sanshu Company, was standing beside him.
When Mr. Wang saw Liang Zixin, he smiled, which was his way of greeting her.
Unlike before, no matter what he was doing, he would put it down and go up to Liang Zixin to say a few words.
Having a big financial backer makes all the difference.
Liang Zixin was seething with anger and was about to step forward to interrupt their conversation when Gu Fanyan called out to him, "Wait."
"Keep calm, Young Master Liang."
Liang Zixin glanced at her and saw that her eyes were calm and her expression was composed, showing no sign of panic.
He calmed down instantly, and at the same time, felt a bit self-deprecating.
At times like this, he was not as powerful as Gu Fanyan, who had a strong presence and commanding presence.
At this moment, several small business owners walked over to Liang Zixin and greeted her.
Their original intention in coming here was not to bid, but to build good relationships with big bosses like Liang Zixin and get some benefits from major projects.
"Talk to them, the more compatible the conversation, the better," Gu Fanyan whispered to Liang Zixin.
Liang Zixin listened to her very much.
"Mr. Li, please take care of yourself. My company's special effects production all depends on you..."
"Mr. Zhang, don't be so polite. Although your daughter is beautiful, she's already taken, hahaha..."
For a moment, the entire venue was filled with Liang Zixin's hearty laughter, his imposing presence as steady and unwavering as Mount Tai.
Mr. Wang, the owner of Sanshu Company, and the person in charge of the bidding party were starting to lose their footing.
Although the Lin family, represented by Lin Zhibai, is very powerful, they are not locals or citizens; they can only be considered an outside conglomerate.
If I really offend the Liang family, I'm in for a rough time.
After thinking for a moment and exchanging a few polite words with Lin Zhibai, the person in charge of the tendering party walked up to Liang Zixin.
