Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from last time, Gao Xinci thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out why I was so generous, but in fact...

I don't want to either! Isn't that just robbing? Will Cheng Cheng return it to me if I say no like crazy? No! I might even get into bigger trouble because of my bad mood! This time it was because of William who was brainwashed by Lao Fu, what about next time? What if it's something that William and Gao Xinci can't solve? Let's just forget about it, give him everything! Just let it go for two days!

Well, the wool comes from the sheep anyway, it's all left by old Fu, there's nothing that a son can't inherit, as long as he doesn't think about inheriting me, I'll say anything, but in the eyes of Xiao Gao, it's not the same, sitting upright with his chest held high! Even sober, pinching my face to ask me if I need help, he can kick Cheng Cheng to my parallel line so that I can beat him up.

I blinked and smiled and asked him how difficult it was, but when I looked up, I realized Gao Xinci might be serious. My heart sank for a moment. How should I say this... It's not that I don't have opportunities for many things. In fact, the opportunities are right in front of me and I can grab them with a little effort. But I just can't bear to grab them. I know that these are not what I pursue in my life. Why can't I give Chengcheng a sense of security with things that I don't care about?

At most, reality slowly transcends imagination.

"But he is my brother." I said it in my heart and out loud, and followed it with a silly smile.

"I know you want something more, but at the same time, the shares in your hands are the bargaining chips for your negotiation with him, not family affection." Gao Xinci held my face and said very seriously, as if he was afraid of scaring me. In such a distressing scene, he still had to force a smile on his face: "Although your family is indeed the most affectionate and comfortable family I have ever seen, people will change. People who care about interests have no family affection. The biggest opponents are those who have the same blood flowing in their bodies. In a family, the only one who can share happiness and misfortune is yourself. If you love him, you must love his shortcomings, indifference and inferiority together. You don't have such ability, no one has it, but he can admire you who holds power. You have no shortcomings except being soft-hearted, which is exactly what he needs most."

"You think our family is comfortable? This is the most terrifying thing I've heard this year--" I stretched out my tone. Obviously, Gao Xinci was not distracted by my joke, so he had to use the usual excuse to perfunctorily answer, "The main reason is that I don't have enough ability to manage a company. The reason why I am doing well in the construction industry is because there are many elites in this field in my family. I won't talk about the elders. Well... Tinglin studied civil engineering, Youyou studied design, Lanlan also studied design, and her second degree is finance. In addition, Lao Fu laid a foundation in Linjiang. Basically, no one can get the news from all parties before me. I make preparations in advance, so the business is naturally very good. It's still different from Chengcheng's side."

"The person in power doesn't necessarily need great ability. You just said that your father-in-law has already laid the necessary foundation. You are defending the country, not conquering it. As long as you know how to handle things, manage, know how to use people well, and your status is enough to convince the people below, it will be fine. Do you think Lu Chengcheng is much better than you? He just has outstanding execution ability, good innovation, and quick action, but he also has a lot of messes. If he really lets him manage everything from top to bottom, how many people will really obey him? In Linjiang, he dares to monopolize such big things as food, clothing, housing and transportation. I'm not scolding him, he is really looking for death! He doesn't know how to deal with things, has a straightforward mind, and doesn't care about things that he thinks are not important, but are his standards for judging right and wrong really enough to make him a suitable leader? If he were really under your leadership, he would at most be an excellent sales champion!"

"Puchi!" I laughed out loud, looking at Gao Xinci who looked so adorable, I squeezed his cheeks with both hands and kissed him, coaxing him into losing his temper: "Okay, okay, if you say so, I am still Chengcheng's good wife, but other people's good wife is his wife and I am his sister. I think, anyway, I have nothing now, he cleaned it up like a whirlwind, and if I want it again in the future, I will only find that, hey! His sister's pockets are cleaner than her face! There is no room for decline, so let him be."

Gao Xinci pursed his lips, but he didn't say anything bad because he was a harmonious and friendly young master from an aristocratic family. He mumbled for a long time before saying something more appropriate: "Of course not. He doesn't allow us to be together. He is always unreasonable."

I frowned and lifted the quilt to take a look. Suddenly, I felt a little embarrassed to speak: "Did you stop it? You didn't stop it either. The distance between us is almost negative."

"Negative number? It's not impossible." Gao Xinci turned his head to the side and showed a perfect funny face.

I couldn't help laughing and hit him lightly, then he held me in his arms and rested for a while. The only tragic thing might be the alcohol. At least before tomorrow morning, Big Gao will have to sleep well and won't become a negative number. Little Gao can only sigh with helplessness, and after a long time he made a painful decision.

"Forget it! I don't have much money anyway, so why not follow me? I can show you what a real business empire is!"

"Can you please delete the novel app on your phone? It's so sloppy——" I said with a slight disdain, but Gao Xinci was serious again, pressing his head down and looking straight at me. He kept looking at me and then he pushed his forehead against mine. It wasn't enough to push him, he also wanted a kiss. It wasn't enough to kiss him, he also wanted to stick out his tongue...

Hmm, how is this not considered negative distance in another sense?

After the kiss, she went back to the cold war again, with a stern face and eyes, and a speechless look. She pushed me to the edge of the bed, pulled the quilt and fell asleep: "Sleep!"

I was once again in a mess in the air-conditioning. He changed his attitude so quickly. He changed his attitude three times in two days. I was about to catch a cold! I was almost used to Gao Xinci's volatility, but what was going on now? My opponent was drunk, weak, and dizzy! I slept for half a day, had a big meal, and took medicine to replenish my energy. How could I let him bully me in this situation? I immediately pressed his hands and pressed him under me.

"Sleep? Don't sleep, Gao Xinci! I've been waiting for you for a whole day, and you come back in the early morning and tell me you want to sleep, right? Isn't that inappropriate? Come on, show me your sincerity!"

Gao Xinci turned his head to look at me in disbelief, and was frightened away again by his posture like a hungry tiger pouncing on a sheep. He curled up into a ball to protect his ball, and kept begging for mercy: "Auntie, what sincerity do you have? Can't you see that it really can't get up? Let me go..."

I pinched his wrist and used the tie to strengthen him. Without looking in the mirror, I could imagine that I must be very wretched. I licked the corner of my mouth and bit it!

Gao Xinci curled up under him and bared his teeth, "Hey! What are you doing! Why are you biting me like a puppy... Oh, it really is true that women are like wolves and tigers at the age of forty, so ferocious! Why do I remember you always avoiding me when we were newly married?"

I straddled Gao Xinci and smiled bitterly, "I was afraid of you when I was newly married, what does it have to do with Niu Hulu Xi Shi now? But you really don't say that this common saying makes sense, women are like wolves and tigers, and men have no motivation! Should I find something to replenish you? Hey, what's the name of that medicine, a must-have for men in their forties... Liuwei Dihuang Pills!"

“What?!” Gao Xinci almost jumped up from the bed with me. He sat up and held me in his arms. The moment we looked at each other was very awkward. He then turned into a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Unfortunately, he was afraid that I would slip out of his arms, so he had to continue to hold me in a sticky hug and pretend to be angry: “Today, I will let you see if I need to be supplemented!”

At first I was still laughing at him, but a few minutes later I was in trouble. No one expected that Mr. Gao had just become an artificial intelligence that needed to be manually awakened and voice controlled. I gave in. He didn’t need Rehmannia pills, but I might need some ginseng. As a result, the Gao family’s steward brought dozens of kilograms of wild ginseng as thick as an arm in a few torn plastic bags the next day...

Thank you! I came to Yingjing to make connections, not to prepare for pregnancy! Gao Xinci was still gloating, and I was hit back to reality. I had to ask the steward to send the ginseng back to Linjiang, and then continued to take me to banquets or private talks according to the list. According to the standard of Bantian's family, I have also seen many noble families that were unattainable before, and understood Gao Xinci's point of view that my family is warm enough.

One by one of them, they really only know a person by his appearance but not by his heart. Even someone like Yu Pei'an, who has a terrible reputation, is actually a handsome, well-educated and well-mannered young man, the only heir of the Yu family and the hope for the future - he just did the same dirty thing as his father and had a lot of concubines and illegitimate children.

Gao Xinci quietly told me that this is how the Yu family is. The heir has not had a wife or husband for several generations. The heirs of each generation, regardless of gender, will not get formally married. Girls will suffer a little because the children cannot come out of their bellies, but they can also get many biological babies of their own through other means. Boys are even more convenient. Having dozens of children is as easy as breathing, just like Yu Pei'an now. The yard is a real arena, and the heir is the most outstanding one until the age of twenty.

Or, it is the living one who does not care what means are used. Yu Pei'an also grew up in such an environment. Whether he lives or dies, he will not blame his family and parents, because it is useless to blame them. The extra emotions in the Colosseum are a burden. For the parents' family, they have too many children. They may not remember any of them who died.

I was dumbfounded and couldn't let it go for a long time. I felt so emotional when I saw the children in the Yuyuan Garden who were even following the rules when walking. Looking at it this way, my Chengcheng is really a little Karami! He will be played to death in Yingjing...

Until a brightly colored ball rolled to my feet, and a little girl wearing a custom-made Suzhou embroidered cheongsam ran over. She was about five or six years old. She blinked her big watery eyes and looked up at me. She seemed like a different scenery.

Yu Pei'an was also quite interested and leaned over to hold the little girl in his arms, smoothing her sweat-soaked hair: "Xiaobao, how did you become like this? You're so messy, but still so cute. Tell daddy, what's your name?"

I almost couldn't hold back my laughter, but Gao Xinci, the little girl, and even the servants of the Yu family all looked normal, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to look like this. I swallowed it down and saw the little girl smiling and answering, "My name is Yu Xuanying. Dad doesn't remember me?"

Behind Hyun-young was a lady with a beautiful face but very low-key. She was covered by a simple and elegant cheongsam. She hadn't raised her head for a long time. Now the servant came forward and bowed to remind her: "Sir, our lady is from Muyuanzhai."

I just came from Muyuanzhai, where at least five or six ladies live. He turned to look at Yu Pei'an, who probably couldn't even remember which lady it was. He could only pat his head in distress, but he didn't care much. He turned his attention to his daughter again: "Yu Xuanying, oh, I think it was me who gave you the name. Dad forgot, and I will definitely make it up to you, but Dad has a job now, Xuanying, can you go find mom?"

"I want this sister to play with me..." Yu Xuanying pointed at me pitifully.

Yu Pei'an suddenly laughed, his eyes moving back and forth between my daughter and me, and he spoke in a meaningful tone: "Ah - you like this sister, then our little Xuanying is really discerning. However, although she looks very young, Xuanying still has to call her auntie, not sister."

"It doesn't matter. He's just a kid. Besides, it sounds like he's praising me, so it's naturally better." I nodded in reply.

Gao Xinci turned sideways and said in front of Yu Pei'an: "You stay here and play with her. The children of the Yu family are very sensible. It's okay."

"Then I'll trouble Miss Fu...Oh no, Mrs. Gao." Yu Pei'an raised his eyebrows and answered quickly.

I had no objection. The garden was already annoying enough. If we went into the house to talk, it would be even more troublesome. Yu Pei'an was so smart that he agreed to take Xuanying to the lake. There were still many actors singing on the boats. It seemed like they were performing "A Dream in the Garden". This was done in broad daylight. Even if it was a song praising love that broke through feudalism, it made people feel cold. How could it be an artistic and cultural atmosphere? It was clearly for the children to see. Freedom was far away on the water. If you wanted to fight for it, you had to be able to cross the lake that was more than ten meters deep.

Who dares to imagine how many children drown every year in this unbridgeable gap?

I will never be able to agree with this kind of environment where only the fittest survive, but Hyun-young enjoys it. The child is not even as tall as my legs, but she occasionally hums a few lines of the opera that I could barely understand when I was a teenager. I turned my head to look at her, and she also smiled at me. Her mother was more direct. She bowed to the servants in the range of her peripheral vision and turned to leave. However, I was shocked. The Yu family's yard is thousands of acres in size, but she dared to abandon her daughter, whom her own father did not recognize, at the lakeside which is ten minutes' drive away from Muyuanzhai.

But I couldn't shout to keep someone here in such a quiet courtyard. I glanced at Hyun-young helplessly. She said she was looking for me, but she was just entertaining herself at the moment. She turned around and waited for me to ask questions when she saw my confusion. I held back for a long time and said, "Hyun-young, I have a question for you. Aren't you afraid of following me here alone? Why did your mother leave?"

The little girl smiled brightly and gave me an even more astonishing answer: "If Mommy didn't leave, Daddy would be worried. Now is the time to make my brothers and sisters depressed."

I looked around, and it seemed to be true. There were many children of about the same age as Hyun-young on the street, and some were even taller than me. They were all staring at Hyun-young with red eyes of jealousy. I guess I was benefited by my family and Gao Xinci, and I could be treated so highly even though I was just listening to a play.

I smiled and stroked the child's hair: "Then Hyunyoung is a very smart child."

The little girl looked pitiful again, pouting her lips and finally showing some childish innocence, smiling at half of her brother and sister's face and crying at the other half of mine, and she burrowed softly into my arms: "Auntie, don't blame me, I just want to grow up."
