Chapter 34 It turns out there is someone accompanying me!
Gu Xiangsi herself couldn't remember how she got into the car, she just felt heavy in her heart.
She went to the nursing home and sat with her grandmother for a long time, chatting about family matters.
The nursing home also has a New Year's Eve event tonight, and the atmosphere is quite lively.
While she was talking to Lin Xiu, Zhao Niesen called and said that the company was holding a New Year's Eve concert and asked her to come over.
Gu Xiangsi was a little surprised.
Only then did she realize that she had blocked the company group messages on her phone at some point and she hadn't seen the notification at all.
There was no choice but to say goodbye to Lin Xiu in a hurry.
The New Year's Eve party was held at the Peninsula Hotel, and when she arrived, it was already 7:30 in the evening.
Most of the people in the company are here.
Gu Xiangsi walked in and greeted a few colleagues, then saw Zhao Niesen waving at her.
When she walked over, she found that the person standing next to him was Lu Wang.
"Doctor Lu?" she called softly.
Zhao Niesen's eyes shifted between the two of them: "Does Mr. Lu know Manager Gu?"
Lu Wang nodded, smiling gently: "Yes, what a coincidence, we meet here."
“That’s fate.”
Lu Wang looked at Gu Xiangsi and explained, "We have an inpatient ward behind our hospital. We're planning to do an overall interior layout plan and turn it into a comfortable and high-end VIP area, so we'd like to cooperate with your company."
Gu Xiangsi nodded to show that she understood.
Zhao Niesen turned to Lu Wang and said, "Master Lu, regarding the cooperation, I will discuss it with your hospital in detail after the New Year."
"Okay," Lu Wang agreed, his gaze falling on Gu Xiangsi. "Manager Gu will be in charge then. I heard she's an expert in design."
The Peninsula Hotel is filled with warmth, and the crystal chandeliers reflect tiny streams of light, illuminating the entire room.
The long row of decorations on one side of the venue is hung with red silk and gold ornaments, exuding a strong New Year atmosphere.
Gu Xiangsi didn't like this kind of social occasions. Taking advantage of going to the bathroom, she walked to the open-air balcony in the corner of the banquet hall and stood there, staring at the night outside the window in a daze.
The cold wind blew her hair, bringing a bit of chill, and she couldn't help but shiver.
Years later, Fu Sinian did not ask her to resign, but Zhao Niesen went to the office only a few times during this period.
It was difficult for her to access his computer. The only good news was that she learned from her uncle that his father was red-green color blind.
So his father was framed.
Just as she was thinking about it, a warm suit jacket was suddenly draped over her shoulders.
She turned sideways and saw Lu Wang standing behind her with a tray of snacks. He smiled and asked, "Why are you here alone?"
"It's probably New Year's Eve."
Victoria Peak Villa.
In the villa's living room, the crystal chandelier cast a warm light, and many people were sitting around the sofa area.
Zhou Wanrong and Fu Xianhan were both sitting on the sofa. The elders of the Fu family had gathered today to celebrate the New Year together.
The children were running after their toys on the carpet, while the elders were chatting, eating melon seeds, and hearty laughs could be heard from time to time.
Fu Sinian and Duan Jingjia walked in, and several eyes immediately turned to them. Zhou Wanrong greeted them with a smile. "Sinian is back, your uncles are all here."
Fu Sinian nodded slightly, greeted several elders, and sat down aside.
Zhou Wanrong took Duan Jingjia's hand and said enthusiastically, "Jingjia, let's celebrate the New Year together here today!"
"Auntie, I'll be leaving soon." Duan Jingjia replied with a smile, "My brother just called and said a lot of relatives are coming and he's urging me to go back."
"Okay." Zhou Wanrong agreed with a smile, and looked at Duan Jingjia with more and more satisfaction.
Fu Sinian sat on the sofa, not saying much, but his mind inexplicably recalled the look on Gu Xiangsi's face when she left.
He took out his cell phone, opened the WeChat dialog box with her, tapped his fingers on the screen, and then typed several lines of text, but deleted them one by one, and finally sent only one sentence.
"Not my girlfriend."
Five minutes, ten minutes passed, and there was still no reply from Gu Xiangsi.
Fu Sinian felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart. He stood up and said to Zhou Wanrong, "Mom, I'm going upstairs to change my clothes."
Zhou Wanrong, holding a cup of tea in her hand, gently knocked on Fu Sinian's door.
Fu Sinian opened the door.
"Mom, come in!"
Zhou Wanrong walked in, put the teacup on the table, looked at him and asked bluntly, "Is it really impossible for you and Jingjia to be together?"
She finally realized that Fu Sinian had no interest in her at all.
Fu Sinian nodded.
"Okay, Mom won't force you." Zhou Wanrong sighed, "But why are you and your brother both single? Look at your uncle and aunt's house downstairs, their grandchildren are crawling on the ground."
"Mom, you can't force feelings."
Fu Sinian was silent for a while, then suddenly looked up at her with a questioning look in his eyes. "Mom, are you and Dad... happy?"
Zhou Wanrong's eyes flickered noticeably, and she forced a smile, "Silly child, your father and I have lived together for so many years, and there are also your brother and you, how can I not be happy?"
"Mom, don't hide it from me. I know you are not happy."
Zhou Wanrong's body suddenly stiffened, and it took a while for her to recover. She lowered her voice and said, "I've lived through most of my life. There's no such thing as happiness or sadness."
In the end, I never said that my father had a woman outside.
He put his hand on Zhou Wanrong's shoulder and said softly, "Mom, no matter what happens, my brother and I will always be your strong support."
Zhou Wanrong's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she smiled and nodded, "Stinky boy, clean up quickly and come down to eat later."
Fu Sinian nodded in agreement.
Zhou Wanrong turned and walked out.
Looking at his mother's back, his eyes gradually darkened and he fell into deep thought.
He picked up his phone and walked to the table, casually browsing his Moments, and saw the nine-grid photo posted by Zhao Niesen.
He clicked on it and saw that one of the men looked familiar: Lu Wang. There was another figure in the background of the photo of the two of them, so he zoomed in to take a closer look.
The woman was wearing a lavender Chinese cheongsam, her hair was tied up with a hairpin, a few strands of hair hung by her ears, and she wore a pair of pearl earrings, which made her look particularly eye-catching.
She actually went to the annual meeting and dressed up nicely.
Looking at the scene in the photo, it is clearly the Peninsula Hotel. No wonder she didn't reply to the message. It turns out she was accompanied by someone.
Fu Sinian stared at the photo for a moment, silently turned off the phone screen, and threw it on the table.
He walked to the hanger, took out the pair of cufflinks from his pocket, stroked the patterns on them with his fingertips, and stared at the "S" for a long time.
He turned around and took out a small box from the bottom of the drawer. Inside was the bracelet, which also had an "S" engraved on it.
After a moment of silence, he untied the knot and put it back on his left wrist.
It was already 11:45 when Fu Sinian asked Li Xiaoyao to drive to the Peninsula Hotel.
He pushed the door open and walked into the hotel lobby, heading straight for the elevator.
The elevator reached the seventh floor. I pushed open the glass door leading to the open-air balcony, and the evening breeze, wrapped in a hint of salty sea water, rushed over.
He looked up and saw a figure wearing a lavender cheongsam standing by the railing. It was Gu Xiangsi.
With her back to this side, her profile was softened by the lights of Victoria Harbour in the distance, and the pearls on her earrings swayed gently in the wind.
She was wearing a black suit and was chatting and laughing with the man wearing glasses next to her.
The man was holding a plate of snacks. She lowered her head and scooped some into her mouth with a small spoon. She didn't know what the other party said, but she smiled with her eyebrows curved and her face was particularly bright.
Fu Sinian stood on the side of the balcony and watched, and felt that the scene was very dazzling.
Li Xiaoyao, who was standing behind him, saw this scene and didn't dare to breathe.
It’s over, it’s over, Miss Gu…
Young Master wouldn't just rush up and kill that man, would he?
