I just want to inherit the family property and don't want to fall in love

Seattle, dusk.

The fresh air, the thin and cool clouds, the majestic distant mountains, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, everything around is just right.

The man on the balcony was dressed in a well-fitting suit, with a tall and straight figure, with a slightly raised jaw, showing a hint of arrogance.

Unconsciously turning the goblet in his hand, his deep eyes fell on the distant mountain peaks, and there was an indelible melancholy between his brows.

"Gu." A deep voice came from behind.

After hearing the voice, Gu Tingjun quickly turned around and raised his glass politely to the visitor: "Patriarch Puxin."

The person who came was Mr. Puxin, the patriarch of the Hyde family, and he was also the person Gu Tingjun discussed at the charity dinner.

"Gu, your mobility is really good. You flew here to discuss cooperation just after I came back." Pu Xin was very satisfied with Gu Tingjun's behavior.

They had a pretty good talk on charity stuff, and initially reached a cooperation intention, but he never expected that as soon as he returned to Seattle, Gu Tingjun would follow him with a completed cooperation plan.

The Hyde family had no choice but to hold a welcome party for Gu Tingjun first, and then formally start business cooperation negotiations tomorrow.

"Patriarch Puxin, I believe you can feel the sincerity of our Haichuan Group."

Pu Xin stroked his beard, laughed, and seemed to be in a good mood, then he patted Gu Tingjun on the shoulder: "I admire you very much. Gu, you see, three of my four daughters are adults, and the oldest one is as old as you About the same age. Do you have any ideas?"

"What does Patriarch Puxin mean?" Gu Tingjun frowned and asked.

This old fox probably wants to use a business marriage as a bargaining chip!
Puxin waved his hand and said, "Let me tell you directly, my second daughter has a good impression of you, and as a father, I naturally hope that she can have a good home. Of course, the feelings of you young people are your business, cooperation It's cooperation. Gu, don't worry, this will definitely not affect the cooperation between you and me."

Hearing what he said, Gu Tingjun felt relieved.

If it had been before, Patriarch Puxin's proposal might have given him some ideas. After all, marrying anyone is a marriage, which can bring the relationship with the Hyde family closer. Marrying the patriarch's daughter is also a deal without compensation.

But now, Gu Tingjun subconsciously refused. Of course, the reason did not lie in Ning Xuan. Compared with the daughter of the patriarch of the Hyde family, everyone knew which one to choose.

What really caught Gu Tingjun's attention was that at that moment just now, what flashed in his mind was Ning Xi.

It wasn't Ning Xi in women's clothing, but the Ning Xi who didn't care how she was bullied on weekdays but showed her sharp fangs at certain times.

He must be crazy!Mingming ran all the way to Seattle to avoid Ning Xi.

But because of Patriarch Puxin's words, he thought of her again.

"Gu, Gu..." Seeing that Gu Tingjun was distracted, Pu Xin called him twice, and when he recovered, he joked, "Gu, I'm sure your distraction wasn't because of work just now. Oh, let me guess , our Gu has a sweetheart. It seems that my precious daughter can only be sad for a while."

"I'm sorry, Patriarch Puxin." Gu Tingjun seldom lost his composure in front of outsiders, especially in front of such an important partner.

Patriarch Puxin didn't care about this, he asked inquiringly: "Is it the beautiful lady who was with you at the charity dinner?"

Well, should he answer yes, or no?Patriarch Puxin's question is really acute.

After hesitating for a while, Gu Tingjun decided to confess: "Actually, he is a boy."

boy?Pu Xin's expression was fixed, but after listening to Gu Tingjun's explanation, he burst out laughing.

"Gu, you are so unexpected. I really hope to have the opportunity to meet that beautiful boy."

"Probably, there will be." Gu Tingjun was a little uncertain.

What Puxin meant was not simply meeting Ning Xi, but what was important was Ning Xi's identity and relationship with him when they met.

The welcome party lasted until midnight. After Gu Tingjun returned to the hotel, he took a hot bath before turning on his phone in free time.

The moment I turned it on, three messages of missed calls popped up.

Two belonged to Ning Xi and one belonged to Gu You.

Staring at Ning Xi's number, Gu Tingjun gave up on calling her back and found Gu You's number to call.

"Master, something happened to Master Ning."

As soon as Gu You opened his mouth, Gu Tingjun's heart shuddered, and he sat up directly from the bathtub.

"What about the others? Who did it?"

The chill in his tone made Gu You shiver across the two hemispheres.

Knowing that his young master must have misunderstood his words, Gu You quickly explained: "Master Ning is fine, someone exposed the fact that he took a girl to the hospital to have an abortion, and now the whole Haicheng is full of news about him and that girl."

After learning that Ning Xi was not in personal danger, Gu Tingjun heaved a sigh of relief, but his tone was still a bit firm: "Suppress the news immediately!"

"Measures have been taken, but the previous news is too much. Even if it is suppressed on the surface, it still cannot be stopped in private. And..."

Gu Tingjun was very annoyed by Gu You's hesitant to speak, he has been with him for so long, don't you know that what he hates most is hesitating?

"Say it!"

Being scolded by Gu Tingjun, Gu You had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Master Ning suspects that you leaked this matter, and that girl almost committed suicide because of this matter, now Master Ning treats you..."

She put this matter on his head?This brat!

Gu Tingjun was so angry that he almost wanted to throw the phone in his hand, but of course he restrained the urge.

Now it is important to find out who did this thing, but the most important thing is to eliminate the bad influence of this thing.

After explaining some things to Gu You, Gu Tingjun still called Ning Xi.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the call was connected, Ning Xi was greeted with cursing.

"Gu Tingjun! You bastard! You hypocrite! I'm blind to believe you! You are a complete liar! A murderer! I will never believe you again!"

After scolding, Ning Xi hung up the phone, and Gu Tingjun didn't even have time to say a word from the beginning to the end.

Gu Tingjun touched his nose, feeling a little ridiculous, this kid's temper is getting worse and worse.

I didn't answer the phone last time, but this time I just swear!When did Gu Tingjun ever get scolded?
Besides, is he that untrustworthy?Does it mean that he did this thing if it was exposed?

Why doesn't this kid think about it carefully, what good is exposing them to him?
Gu Tingjun really wanted to rush up to Ning Xi right now, lift her head and put it in the ice water to wash her soberly.

Suppressing his anger, when he called Ning Xi again, he found that he had been blocked!
