The air conditioning in the meeting room was set too low. Gu Xue sat on the sofa, feeling a chill in her hands and feet, as if even the breath she took felt like it could make her shiver. 。The spacious conference room was lit only by a dim wall lamp, casting long shadows. Gu Xue clenched her hands tightly, her long eyelashes fluttering like restless butterflies, appearing fragile and pitiful. 。Half of his face was hidden in the darkness, yet his red ... were clearly visible. 。A waterfall of hair cascaded down her back, but her strikingly black and white eyes were now clearly visible. 。I'm nervous, because I know what's coming. 。After that was a bay window, and at this moment the lanterns had just begun to light up. However, it seemed like it was raining outside, with fine cold rain falling down, lightly hitting the glass windows like mirrors. 。Gu Xue turned her face away, looking at the gloomy sky outside. She felt as if she were standing on a precipice. 。I will always remember this day, it's my 18th birthday. 。Twelve years ago, a six-year-old was crying in the corner of an orphanage. A middle-aged man reached out to help and took him to his home. 。That year, I only remembered my own name, Xiaoxue, so I was given the surname Gu. 。Twelve years later, having grown up, the adoptive father Gu Beijiang pushed his birthday onto a man. 。I don't know who that person is, I just know that this man has great power and influence. Even his foster father fears him. One project needs to be exchanged for——That's right, being raised by Gu Beijang, so he needs to repay Gu Beijang's kindness, compared to the project that Gu Beijang needs, it's simply a small witch seeing a big witch!"Xiaoxue, I raised you this big, gave you good food and lodging, and will even pay for your college--->。"It's time for you to repay me, Dad. I don't ask for anything else, just help me get this project," The father's voice was still echoing in her ears, Gu Xue bit her lip and gently closed her eyes. 。The door to the conference room was pushed open at that moment, and someone walked in. They almost jumped up from the sofa instantaneously, their eyes wide with undisguised terror, staring blankly at the newcomer. 。"Ms. Gu, hello, I'm Mr. Fu's assistant, Lei Sheng." 。Mr. Fu is currently in a meeting and it should be over in another thirty minutes. 。The man was tall and broad-shouldered, dressed in a black suit that was impeccably tailored. However, his face held no unnecessary expressions, and his voice was devoid of any emotion whatsoever. 。“Oh…” It took her half a lifetime to squeeze out that single syllable. Gu Xue swallowed hard, lowered her eyes to stare at her toes, feeling her heart pounding so loudly it was almost bursting out of her chest. “ ...Then, then I’ll continue waiting for Mr. Fu...” Because Gu Beijiang had said that she absolutely had to wait for Fu Tianheng today, this man who in the city could practically rule with an iron fist... 。Mr. Fu would go straight to the hotel after the meeting. 。"The man still spoke with a cold and distant tone, but his words now carried another layer of implication." 。 Gu Xue's face was obviously flushed at this moment, she understood! It also made sense. Since her foster father had pushed herself out, how could it be impossible to smooth things over? She only needed to complete the most important task, right? Thinking of this, the blush on her face almost reached her ears. Gu Xue's two slender hands, as delicate as jade, were twisting the light floral pattern on her chest, and after a long while, she finally spoke, but her voice was like a mosquito buzz, "...Then...then I...can I wait for Mr. Fu at the hotel?" |
