Your family.
No sooner had Junxian entered the living room than a dignified voice rang out.
"You finally decided to come back?"
Junxian took off his black suit and handed it to the maid to tidy up.
"Dad, shouldn't you be at the company at this time?"
Upon hearing this, the father sneered, "You little brat, you're trying to avoid me by going home to see your mother, aren't you? But too bad, I just sent someone to take her to the hospital. Now we can have a good talk."
Jun Xian's eyes flickered. Since Jun Ling's death, Jun's mother had been suffering from heartache and her health had deteriorated. He heard that she had fallen ill again these past two days due to excessive worry, so he came back to check on her. He didn't expect that Jun's father was also at home.
He sat down on the sofa, facing his father; "What does Father want to say?"
The father looked at him and said slowly, "Xiao Qing is back. When do you plan to marry her?"
He paused for a moment, then added, "Marrying Qingqing is not only your sister's dying wish, but also for the benefit of both the Xiao and Jun families. Junxian, you've reached the age to settle down and start a family. What are you waiting for?"
Junxian's hands, which were resting on his lap, clenched involuntarily. "Father, right now I just want to manage the company well. I'd like to postpone getting married for a while."
Upon hearing this, the father gave a cold laugh.
How could he not know his son?
If he didn't have someone else outside, why would he have dragged his feet on marrying Xiao Qing for so long?
"Jun Xian, it's inevitable that you'll marry Xiao Qing. I don't care if you have other girls outside. The position of the young mistress of the Jun family can only belong to Xiao Qing. Anyone else would be unworthy of it, understand?"
"Unlucky enough to enjoy it," this means that no other woman could live to become the young mistress of the Jun family.
Jun Xian's expression was calm, but the bulging veins on his forehead revealed the man's turbulent inner state.
"I know, no need for you to worry."
After saying this, he stood up and said calmly, "Since Mother has gone to the hospital, I will come back to see her another day. I won't disturb Father's rest."
After saying this, Junxian turned and left.
A white figure quickly dodged backward the moment Jun Xian came out.
After Jun Xian left, Xiao Qing emerged from the shadows.
She knew Junxian would be going home today, so she came to find him on purpose, but unexpectedly, she overheard these words.
He said he didn't want to get married for the sake of the company, but I'm probably doing it for Xu Xiaoxin, right?
Her eyes were bloodshot as she watched the man's departing figure, a cold glint flashing in them.
Jun Xian really doesn't want to marry her because of that girl. It seems she has to take action and can't just sit and wait for her fate.
The madness in Xiao Qing's eyes seemed capable of destroying the world.
Meanwhile, Su Yaoyao was excitedly holding the man's large hand, her eyes filled with joy and her tone full of disbelief.
"So you're Gu Yan! You were such a fat guy back in high school. I never imagined you'd become so handsome in the blink of an eye. I can't believe that the Gu Yan of today is the same Gu Yan from high school!"
When Gu Yan was in high school, he was too fat, didn't like to talk, and didn't do well in school, so he always had a low profile. However, Su Yaoyao had a deep impression of him.
I remember one afternoon in high school, a few thugs cornered him and bullied him. He didn't dare to fight back then. Su Yaoyao hid in the shadows and called the police, but the thugs found him. If the police hadn't arrived quickly that day, they would probably have been crippled or killed. I really don't know who he offended at that time. Those people were clearly trying to kill him.
"If I hadn't changed my name, you might remember me."
When the girl held his large hand, Gu Yanfang's heart pounded, and the tips of his ears turned red.
This caused his mind to uncontrollably replay what had happened back then.
At that time, this kind and determined girl also held his hand in the same way, her youthful face full of encouragement.
"Gu Yan, I believe you will become a very capable person in the future. Gu Yan, you are not stupid at all. Gu Yan, you are a boy, you have to protect him in the future, you know?"
Thinking of the past, a slight smile appeared in Gu Yanfang's eyes.
In that place where he was isolated and ostracized by everyone, only Su Yaoyao was there for him, teaching him to fight back and grow. Without Su Yaoyao, there would be no Gu Yanfang as we know him today. Gu Yanfang exists because of Su Yaoyao.
"I'm sorry for leaving without saying goodbye back then, Yaoyao. I can protect you now."
Su Yaoyao was taken aback, then smiled. So he still remembered. When she asked him to protect her, she simply hoped that he wouldn't be so easily bullied, and that he could at least learn to fight back because of her.
"Just as I said, he's become a very capable person!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, and then said...
"By the way, I'm not just calling you today to catch up, but also because of the national competition. Yaoyao, do you want to participate? If you do, I can help you."
Su Yaoyao's eyes lit up; "Really? Thank you so much!"
As she spoke, she withdrew her hand. As the warmth on the back of her hand disappeared, a fleeting sense of disappointment flashed through Gu Yanfang's mind, but he hid it well and smiled.
"Of course, I'll send you the information later, you can take a look first."
He worked so hard to get to this position, wasn't it all for Su Yaoyao?
When he learned that Su Yaoyao's dream was to become a world-renowned designer, he secretly resolved to walk that path with her, even though he had to leave for a long time.
Across the street from the coffee shop, a discreet luxury car was parked.
