Prosperous Marriage, Young Master Ling, don't be too bad

Next, the old lady turned the topic to Ling Sichen and Qiao Zhenlin and asked about work.

Ling Sichen also opened his mouth to speak, but Gu Shuyao remained silent, quietly listening to the happy chat between the grandparents and grandson, and found out that the old lady valued Qiao Zhenlin.

She thought, if it weren't for Ling Sichen, the grandson, the old lady would pass on the family business to Qiao Zhenlin?
By the way, family business!
Could it be that Ling Sichen didn't like Qiao Zhenlin because of this?
I remember those TV dramas about business wars, where the heirs of big families fight for the family business and turn each other against each other. Even in reality, this kind of thing happens. Didn’t the gossip news report one case a while ago?
However, Ling Sichen is a legitimate heir, and he is so wise and smart. It is reasonable to say that Qiao Zhenlin should not be a threat to him. Moreover, she feels that Qiao Zhenlin is not that kind of person.

A meal ended in Gu Shuyao's various meditations.

The old lady wanted to chat with Ling Sichen alone for a while, so Ling Sichen asked her to go back to her original bedroom to rest. Not long after she returned to the bedroom, Qiao Zhenlin appeared.

He brought her a present. It was a very beautiful and exquisite brooch surrounded by many broken diamonds. It seemed expensive.

Gu Shuyao subconsciously declined, Qiao Zhenlin seemed to guess what she was thinking, and said, "It was given by the organizer of a chamber of commerce I participated in. They prepared a dozen of them, and each guest has one. I remember you seem to have a light purple dress? This brooch also happens to be purple, so it must match beautifully."

Immediately, Gu Shuyao's eyes turned hot, and she didn't refuse any more when she greeted him with a gentle and sincere look.

"Shuyao, I'm sorry, I just found out today that Xixi has done so much to you, I apologize to you on her behalf." Suddenly, Qiao Zhenlin said again.

Gu Shuyao immediately shook her head and said, "It's none of your business, Brother Qiao, don't do this."

"Why is it none of my business? There is an old saying in our country that elder brothers are like fathers and elder sisters are like mothers. As an elder brother, I didn't educate her well and let her become like this. I can't absolve myself of the blame." He continued said apologetically.

Gu Shuyao kept shaking her head, not knowing what to say.

Later, Qiao Zhenlin had an international long-distance call, so he gestured to Gu Shuyao, "I'll answer the phone first, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I think I can meet you for dinner sometime, and I'll hear what you have done at school this year. What fun."

His tone has turned brisk, and his handsome face is filled with her familiar smile again.

Gu Shuyao also smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, yes, thank you for the gift, Brother Qiao."

Qiao Zhenlin signaled her not to be polite, stared at her meaningfully, and left first.

Gu Shuyao closed the door, returned to the center of the bedroom, carefully looked at and admired the brooch, and finally took out a box from the bottom drawer of the bedside table.

It contained all the gifts Qiao Zhenlin gave her, and it was the only gift she received in those years.

Back then, because Ling Sichen ran away from home, she was stared at at Ling's house, even worse than a nanny. Although the old lady treated her well, she never gave her gifts. Every time she was born, she only gave her money, so that She went to buy something by herself.

She thought that the old lady might use this to remind her to remember her identity, and to remember that she was different from Qiao Ruoxi and the others.

Therefore, when Qiao Zhenlin sent her a beautiful and exquisite gift on her birthday, Christmas and New Year and other special days, she was moved and grateful from the bottom of her heart.

If Senior Xiao is the sunshine and hope she sees in the confusion, then Qiao Zhenlin is definitely the bright moon she sees in the dark night.

"What is this?" Just as Gu Shuyao was recalling those warm moments, a cry brought her back to her senses.

Ling Sichen is back.

She looked at him absent-mindedly.

Pointing to the contents inside the box, he continued to ask, "Who gave it to you?"

"Oh, it's Big Brother Qiao." Gu Shuyao replied subconsciously, and then remembered something, and immediately cried out inwardly.

Sure enough, his face instantly became extremely ugly.

"This, this is the gift he gave me in those years, on my birthday, as well as Christmas and New Year's gifts." She tried to explain.

"It seems that you are quite familiar with him." He interrupted her, his tone was a bit thought-provoking, he picked up those things one by one with his slender fingers to look at, and then shook them down heavily.

That's right, it was thrown down heavily.

Gu Shuyao felt a little distressed looking at it!

But she tried her best not to show it, and then tried to divert his attention and asked, "You and Grandma Ling are finished talking, when shall we go back?"

Ling Sichen remained silent and looked at her indifferently.

Gu Shuyao swallowed, and then summoned up her courage and said, "Actually, did you have any misunderstandings with Brother Qiao? I don't think he is such a difficult person to get along with. Can you tell me why you don't like him?" him?"

He still didn't speak.

Gu Shuyao couldn't help feeling more and more anxious. She stretched out her hand, gently tugged at his clothes, and continued, "Husband..."

"This is between me and him. You don't need to worry about it. Since you call me husband, then remember my words well. You have collected these things for so many years, and you just put them away like this, but I don't want to see them again. Yes, I don't want you to accept any gifts from him from today!" He said, picking up the purple brooch.

Gu Shuyao's heart was shocked. He actually knew that this brooch was given to her by Qiao Zhenlin today?But how did he know?

She instinctively looked around, wondering if someone had installed a camera in this bedroom.

"Clean up and go home." Ling Sichen said again, and he had already walked out.

Gu Shuyao continued to be dazed for a while, and searched around the corners of the room, but she couldn't find the camera she guessed. After a while, she hurriedly stopped thinking, put the box back in place, picked up her bag, and chased it out.

The car drove away from the Ling family mansion.

Ling Sichen didn't say a word along the way, but Gu Shuyao looked at him from time to time, hesitant to speak.Soon, just as he stopped to wait for the green light, she took his hand and looked at him pitifully.

Ling Sichen glanced at her lightly, with an unpredictable expression, and when the green light ahead, he took her hand away and continued driving.

Gu Shuyao bit her small mouth, and sighed inwardly!

She knew what he was angry about, but what did this make her do?
How did she know that he and Qiao Zhenlin were not on the same page, how did she know that she and him would be married now?And most importantly, she didn't want to break up with Qiao Zhenlin immediately as he said.

He didn't know what Qiao Zhenlin meant to her in those years. She was grateful to Qiao Zhenlin from the bottom of her heart. Wouldn't it be ungrateful if she just left him like this?

In fact, if possible, she wanted to resolve the entanglement between him and Qiao Zhenlin as much as possible, so that he could have another cousin to take care of him, and she would not have to become strangers to Qiao Zhenlin.

But can she?
Would this domineering, self-centered man be willing to listen to her persuasion?Or……

Suddenly, Gu Shuyao didn't dare to think about it anymore.
