Sitting in the taxi, Su Meng looked out the window at the buildings rushing backwards, a hint of melancholy in her heart. 。 The phone rang, bringing Li back to his senses. 。"Mengmeng, did you actually go to the Civil Affairs Bureau? Even those who value family are already here." 。A frantic voice came through the phone. 。Su Meng's eyes darkened, and she replied faintly, "I'm already on my way, I'll be there soon." 。You have to hurry, don't keep people waiting for too long. 。"I know " 。<<>>。After a brief silence on the phone, he continued, “Meng Meng, forgive your father for marrying you off so early...” 。"If your elder sister were still here...""Dad!" Su Meng called out softly, her brows furrowed together 。Don't worry, sister, I can do anything she can. 。"That's good" 。The phone call ended, and Su Meng felt like her heart had been run over by a car. 。Before the Su family fell, the Gu family and the Su family were... 。Sister Su Ying has liked her younger brother Gu Yi Chen since she was little, which Su Meng has always known. 。If my elder sister hadn't passed away two years ago, this marriage alliance with the Gu family would have been hers, Su Ying. 。Thinking of her elder sister, a sadness filled Hong's eyes, "Elder sister, I am sorry!" Hong softly whispered. 。The car arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau soon, Su Meng paid the fare and got off. 。 Raising his head, he saw at once the distinguished-looking man standing on the steps. 。That man was tall and slender. Standing in the afternoon sun, looking down, he seemed like a deity gazing upon the dust at his feet with an air of... 。His face, carved with the sharpness of a blade and axe, bore a pair of hawk-like eyes. They were as cold and piercing as ice from the depths of a frigid mountain range, radiating an icy intensity devoid of any warmth or sentiment. 。A pair of lips slightly pursed, thin and cold, with an air of aloofness and arrogance. 。When Su Meng saw him, she felt her breath catch in her throat, as if an invisible hand were choking her. 。But certain, I don't know this man. 。Su Meng closed the book and turned her head to look around. Beside that man, there was another person, but this person wasn't Gu Yi Chen either. 。Father said that the people who were supposed to take care of things had already arrived. Where was Gu Yichen, anyway? He looked around and saw the man's companion hurriedly walking over. 。"Miss Su Meng?" Su Meng was taken aback and nodded. 。"Hello Miss Su, my name is Gu Zongbian's assistant, I am..." 。"Master Shi, respectfully speaking," 。Su Meng smiled, her eyes curving at the corners. "Mu Shi? Why aren't you being a priest?" 。And then, he just said… Mr. Gu? Su Meng looked up at the man who was still bathed in the light. 。"Who is he?" "He's the CEO of Gushe, Gu Beiyi." 。>Mu Shi said 。It came to her, Gu Bei Xie was Gu Yi Chen's older brother. He had lived in Switzerland since childhood, so even though the Su and Gu families were prominent for generations, they had never met. 。Su Meng nodded and turned to walk upstairs. 。But every step I take, I feel like my upper body is about to burst into flames. 。I don't understand why Gu Bei is staring at me like this. 。Until she stood before him, her gaze meeting his, did she feel a pang of awkwardness. 。Niu lowered his head and softly called out, "Big brother!"Gu Bei swore instantly narrowed his black eyes, the thick eyebrows also knotted immediately. 。"What are you and I?" he asked, his voice a low, magnetic rumble, like a cello played softly, tugging at her heart. 。 |
