After returning to Gu's house from Yunfu Ancient City, Yi Wei prepared to count the things he brought back. Most of them were food given to him by Sun Qi, and he had no one else to give them to, so he planned to take most of the things to Mi's house tomorrow.
Yi Wei was eating a plate of preserved fruit as he walked in. He saw Gu Yueshan standing in front of his desk looking at the roses on it. He immediately thought to himself, "Oh no! He forgot to call back in advance to destroy the evidence." So he quickly walked over, put the preserved fruit on the table, picked up the vase and said, "This flower is almost dead. I'll have someone take it away and throw it away."
Gu Yueshan took a rose from the vase, looked at it in his hand and said, "Is this a gift from Ye Xiucheng?"
"I thought it was a gift from you at first, but as I received more of them, I thought it might not be from you. But then I also thought, if it was really a gift from you, wouldn't it be a shame to throw it away? So I put it in the vase to keep it temporarily." Yi Wei explained.
"Do you like roses?" Gu Yueshan asked.
"It's not a matter of liking it or not. It doesn't matter what the gift is. What's more important is who gives it to." Yi Wei replied.
Gu Yueshan held the flower in his palm, and with a little force, all the petals fell off.
Yi Wei was stunned for a moment, thinking that Gu Yueshan, who had a normal personality, would generally not do such a thing. It seemed that he was still angry.
Yi Wei took out the flowers and cards and gave them to the maid to throw away. Then he returned to the room and saw Gu Yueshan sitting on the bed. Yi Wei immediately went over and sat on his lap, put his arm around his shoulders and asked, "Your birthday is in a few days. How are you going to celebrate it? Are you going to have a birthday party? This time your birthday will be thirty-six. Every sixth or eighth day of your birthday should be celebrated in a big way."
"It's not a birthday party, so there's no need to make a big deal about it. Just like in previous years, we can just invite friends to join in the fun," said Gu Yueshan.
Yi Wei knew that Gu Yueshan was a low-key person and didn't like to make a fuss, so he wasn't surprised by his decision. He then asked, "Do you have any gifts you want?"
"Gift?" Gu Yueshan was stunned. He had received countless gifts since he reached his age, but it seemed that nothing among them was what he wanted.
Yi Wei smiled and said, "You don't have to ask for anything. You can also ask me for something, such as a massage. I studied some content related to academic degrees some time ago, and also learned massage techniques. When you are very tired, I can help you relax."
"I'll think about it carefully." said Gu Yueshan.
"Okay, then think about it before your birthday and tell me." Yi Wei held Gu Yueshan's face, kissed him on the mouth, then got off his legs and walked out to continue counting the things he brought back.
Gu Yueshan's eyes gradually became dark.
After the short holiday, classes at school and private schools began.
After the affair between Yi Wei and Gu Yueshan was exposed, everyone was speculating about the relationship between them. Some guessed that they were dating, some guessed that they were just lovers, and some guessed that Gu Yueshan was just playing with Yi Wei.
When Yi Weiyi appeared at the home school, the other students looked at him and started talking.
Yi Wei didn't care what they thought or said, because he was already married to Gu Yueshan, so he had enough confidence not to care. And Gu Yueshan is also strong enough. Their thoughts and discussions have no impact on him and Gu Yueshan, so there is no need to care about them.
Gu Yueshan won a big project abroad. During this period, not only did more people go to his company, but more and more people came to Gu's house to give gifts and inquire about news.
Besides Wei Nanfeng and their other good friend, the only one who can get a share of the profits from this project is the Mi family.
The fact that Mi's company has signed a contract with Gu's Group has made Zhao Zhen very anxious at home. Yi Hong has also been unable to eat or sleep well during this period. Now that he has received the confirmed news, he is even more depressed.
"What on earth is going on with Yi Bo?!" Zhao Zhen complained anxiously, "He suddenly went abroad without telling me, and after he came back he was drunk every day. When I asked him what was wrong, he said nothing. Is he trying to drive me crazy?! I was counting on him to help you get such a big order, but now it's been taken away by the Mi family. I'm so angry!"
"In the past few years, the gap between Mijia and our company has gradually widened. However, with this order alone, Mijia can offset the gap that we have worked hard for several years, and even surpass us. The subsequent paid maintenance of this order will be a contract for at least several years." Yi Hong said with a grim expression.
"Shuqin told me that she heard from others that the reason why Mr. Gu chose the Mi family was probably because of Yi Wei." Zhao Zhen looked at Yi Hong and asked, "Do you think this is true?"
"Mi's new products are indeed very advantageous, but they are not the only ones that stand out. We have several other companies in our family, and there is still a possibility that we can compete. But Director Gu chose Mi. It is hard to say whether Yi Wei has a role in this. After all, even the people in the Gu family have been confirmed. Even if Yi Wei is not dating Director Gu, he must have maintained some kind of relationship with him."
"Yi Wei is obviously our child, but now he only cares about the Mi family. The daughter of the Mi family raised him for more than ten years, but we gave him life, and we also raised him for four or five years! Why doesn't he ever think about the good we have done for him?!" Zhao Zhen said angrily.
"Madam! Madam!" The servant ran down the stairs in panic, shouting, "The eldest master has fainted!"
"What?!" Zhao Zhen stood up suddenly and ran upstairs: "Call an ambulance quickly! What are you still standing there for?!"
Yi Hong was also running upstairs, and passed Zhao Zhen on the stairs, rushing to see what was happening with Yi Bo.
“Yi Bo! Yi Bo!” Zhao Zhen was so anxious that she was about to cry. She knelt on the ground and looked at Yi Bo and shouted, “What the hell is wrong with you? Are you trying to drive me to death?!”
…………………………
The fact that the Mi family got the order finally made the two old ladies of the Gu family unable to sit still. Since Ye Feng was not Gu Yueshan's biological mother, she had many concerns and so did not do anything for the time being. Xu Hua directly called Yi Wei over for a talk.
"There are rumors out there now. You must know what others are talking about without me telling you." Xu Hua looked at Yi Wei and said, "I originally thought that Yue Shan chose you as his assistant because he saw your ability."
"Does the old lady think that I am not capable enough to be Mr. Gu's assistant?" Yi Wei looked at Xu Hua calmly and said, "Or does the old lady think that Mr. Gu values something more than ability when hiring people?"
Xu Hua smiled and said, "You are quite good at rebutting. Indeed, there is nothing to doubt about your ability. However, since you work with Yue Shan and Yue Shan values you so much, you should consider his reputation instead of making him the topic of gossip for others."
"Madam, Director Gu is a normal man with healthy body and mind. He also has needs. We must not only be on guard against whether the people outside are clean, but also whether there are people with ulterior motives designing it. Whether it is work or other things, it is naturally more reassuring if it is used by people around him." Yi Wei deliberately led the conversation in that direction.
Even Xu Hua was shocked by Yi Wei's straightforward remarks. She did not expect that Yi Wei, who was so young and well-educated, could say such words.
Jiang Shuqin and Gu Heng were eavesdropping in the next room, and Yi Wei's words made them feel a little unbelievable that he would say such things.
"You are a highly educated person after all. Why do you belittle yourself like this?" Xu Hua looked at him and asked.
"I don't think this is degrading myself. Being able to work for Director Gu is the proudest thing in my life. As long as Director Gu can use me, I will do anything." Yi Wei deliberately made a paranoid look.
Xu Hua was stunned again. Even her, his biological mother, couldn't help but admire Gu Yueshan for being able to make someone like Yi Wei loyal to him to this extent.
"You were engaged to Gu Heng before. After being together with my nephew, you are now together with my uncle. The reputation of the Gu family cannot be ruined by you." Xu Hua found another reason to continue testing Yi Wei.
"There is nothing wrong between Gu Heng and me. Gu Heng never liked me, and I never liked him. The so-called engagement is just him using me and me using him. It has no practical significance." Yi Wei said, "Besides, Mr. Gu also said that he would not treat me badly, but he would not..."
Yi Wei deliberately didn't finish his words. He took out his hand to check the time, stood up and said, "Sorry, old lady, I have to go to the company. I haven't finished the work during this period. If I don't hurry up and finish it, it will be too late."
After Yi Wei left, Jiang Shuqin opened the door and walked out with Gu Heng.
"I was really shocked by Yi Wei's remarks," Jiang Shuqin said. "I really didn't see it at all before, and I never thought that Yi Wei would be someone who could say such a thing."
Gu Heng was in extremely complicated mood, he always thought that Yi Wei liked him, even though she was with his fourth uncle now, she must have some intention of taking revenge on him. But Yi Wei's words just now not only made it clear that he had never liked him, but also that he would rather lose his status and even his dignity to maintain that kind of relationship with his fourth uncle.
"Do you see the gap between you and your fourth uncle?" Xu Hua looked at Gu Heng and said, "If you can learn even a little bit of this ability to win people over, it will be enough for you to benefit from for the rest of your life."
"Yes." Gu Heng replied, "I will definitely study hard and learn from my fourth uncle, and will never let my grandmother down."
"Mom, are you going to just ignore the matter between Yi Wei and my uncle?" Jiang Shuqin asked.
"Stupid." Xu Hua looked at her and said, "Yue Shan hasn't done anything with him yet, am I going to make a fuss and embarrass Yue Shan? From the look on his face, I think Yue Shan is just using him to satisfy his cravings and doesn't really want to do anything with him. Since he is willing to despise himself, why should we stop him? Let's just wait and see what happens."
……………………………………
Three days later, Yi Wei asked Sun Qi to help him get something. It was not easy for him to get it by himself, and it was even more difficult for him to ask others to get it, so he had no choice but to ask Sun Qi for help.
After hearing what Yi Wei wanted, Sun Qi was so surprised that he couldn't recover for a long time, but who made them friends after all? So even though he was shocked, he still agreed.
After Sun Qi got the things, he carried the box to the main house to find Yi Wei. Because no one could be brought into Gu Yueshan's yard casually, Yi Wei took Sun Qi to his room in Haitangyuan.
After Sun Qi entered the courtyard, he looked around and said, "Is this the legendary Begonia Garden? I never thought that I would be able to enter here one day."
"It's just a nice-looking yard. It's no big deal." Yi Wei said after entering the room, "Come in quickly."
"Is this just what you call a 'good-looking' thing? The annual maintenance cost alone must be quite a lot of money, right?" Sun Qi said as he walked into the room.
Yi Wei closed the door and locked it, then looked at Sun Qi nervously and asked, "Did you... did you get it?"
"I got it." Sun Qi put the box on the table and said, "Take a look first to see if it's what you want."
Yi Wei took a deep breath, walked to the table, and prepared to open the box with slightly trembling hands.
Sun Qi held the box, looked at Yi Wei seriously and said, "You have to think carefully. This thing is addictive. There are many precedents. After one time, you will probably be trapped and can never get rid of it."
"No." Yi Wei closed his eyes, and then said with a firm look: "Just this once, because it is Director Gu's birthday, I did this. After this time, I will definitely never touch it again, let alone get addicted and fall into it."
"Have you really thought it through?" Sun Qi asked seriously again.
Yi Wei nodded seriously.
Sun Qi sighed, removed his hand and said, "Then open it."
