Mr. Gu, stop being abusive, Miss Xu is marrying your brother.

"You go back first." Gu Chenyan raised his hand to hold his forehead.

The lawyer hesitated to speak. After a long silence, he decided to speak. "Mr. Gu, you have endured this for more than ten years, and you have just a few days left."

Gu Chenyan said nothing.

ten years.

Since he was a child, some seeds have quietly taken root and sprouted.

"Chen Yan, remember, my mother will never commit suicide, never."

"Chen Yan... Mom will never harm her own life because of you. You have to remember that if mom has an accident one day, it will definitely not be suicide..."

Gu Chenyan will never forget that when he was only eight years old, Gu Xingye was violent and violent after being drunk, and the house was in a mess.

On a stormy night, Gu Chenyan stood behind the door and watched Gu Xingye hit his mother with a golf club.

His door was locked from the outside, and no matter how much he cried, he could not open the door.

His fingers were trembling a little, Gu Chenyan held his forehead, and veins popped out on the back of his hands.

The shadow of childhood can really last a lifetime.

"Chen Yan..."

On the second floor, Xu Yan walked out barefoot, her eyes red.

She cried and called Gu Chenyan's name. It was Chenyan, not Mr. Gu.

Gu Chenyan's thoughts were brought back to reality, and his heart tightened suddenly.

Looking up at Xu Yan standing upstairs, Gu Chenyan stood up and walked up quickly. "Having a nightmare?"

"I dreamed that you were dead..."

Xu Yan was still crying, crying hard.

For Xu Yan, the most terrifying nightmare is not that Gu Chenyan no longer wants her, but that Gu Chenyan is dead.

Because of her, she was killed.

Gu Chenyan laughed out loud and pulled Xu Yan into his arms to comfort her. "Have you watched too many suspense movies?"

"I'm afraid that I've made the Zhong family anxious..." Xu Yan was uneasy.

She knew that Zhong Wantong was not a stupid person, not a stupid woman like Zhong Yunxiu and Li Feifei.

She is tolerant and good at pretending.

Once she is cornered, there is no telling what she can do.

"Then someone else made you anxious?" Gu Chenyan carried Xu Yan downstairs. "Instead of worrying about cornering the person who bullies you, it's better to think about where to bite so that you can deliver a fatal blow so that the opponent has no ability to bite back."

When venomous snakes attack, they always look for the right moment and deliver a fatal blow.

When tigers and wolves hunt for food, they bite off each other's throats first.

Not giving the enemy a chance to breathe is the real counterattack.

Xu Yan lay on Gu Chenyan's shoulder, thinking about Gu Chenyan's words.

A fatal blow...

What is needed is not only means, but also absolute strength and capital.

"Online public opinion...can't be suppressed. Didn't the Zhong family fight back?" Xu Yan hugged Gu Chenyan's neck and asked in a low voice.

"Li Feifei just posted a message saying that being a mistress is purely a personal act and has nothing to do with the Zhong family. She also said that she is not familiar with the Zhong family and the two families do not often move around or interact with each other. She will bear everything she said and leave the Zhong family aside. Out." Gu Chenyan's voice was calm.

"Netizens don't seem to buy it." Xu Yan slowly closed her eyes and spoke again. "Actually, whether the commotion on the Internet is fierce or not, it is just a pressure for Mr. Gu Xingye. If he wants to force you to marry Zhong Wantong when public opinion is so turbulent... then it only means that in the hands of the Zhong family The handle we hold is more important than the Gu Group’s face, and that is Mr. Gu Xingye’s ‘fate’.”

Perhaps, what Gu Chenyan always wanted, the cause of his mother's death and the evidence, were in the hands of the Zhong family.

This is what Xu Yan can think of, Zhong Wantong's last bargaining chip.

But the Zhong family dare not take out this bargaining chip, and they will never move it until the last moment.

Gu Chenyan's eyes moved and he lowered his eyes to look at Xu Yan.

She is really smart.

"The Zhong family makes medical equipment. Zhong Wantong's mother used to be good friends with my mother, but they didn't have much contact with each other later." Gu Chenyan whispered in a deep voice and kissed the side of Xu Yan's face. "Even if the Zhong family really has something to do with it, they don't dare to bring it to light now."

Once the death of Gu Chenyan's mother was related to the Zhong family, the Zhong family knew very well... Gu Chenyan would kill them.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu Xingye asked you to... attend the afternoon press conference on time."

Xu Yan lay in Gu Chenyan's arms for an unknown amount of time before Chen Yu called.

Sure enough, Xu Yan guessed correctly.

Gu Xingye still insisted on getting Gu Chenyan and the Zhong family engaged.

"Are you... going?" Xu Yan grabbed Gu Chenyan's clothes and asked in a low voice.

"You want to keep me?" Gu Chenyan smiled.

Xu Yan sat on Gu Chenyan's lap, lowering her head and biting the corners of her lips.

She really didn't want Gu Chenyan to go.

Once Gu Chenyan and Zhong Wantong get engaged, it means that their relationship will be over.

"How to keep me..." Gu Chenyan's voice was hoarse and he leaned lazily on the sofa.

Obviously, he had no intention of going, but he still deliberately bullied Xu Yan.

Xu Yan lowered her head, thinking about the way she saw Li Feifei acting coquettishly towards that man today...

Can you keep him?

Gently tugging at Gu Chenyan's tie with stiff fingers, Xu Yan spoke in a low voice. "No...is it okay not to go? I...I don't want you to go."

She even made excuses for Gu Chenyan.

The Zhong family is at the forefront of public opinion, and he doesn't want to drag the Gu Group into trouble until the heat is over.

Gu Chenyan just looked at Xu Yan lazily, as if it wasn't enough.

Obviously, Gu Chenyan did not see that Xu Yan was acting coquettishly...

"Can you not go?" Xu Yan was a little anxious.

Gu Chenyan didn't express his position, which made her panic.

Xu Yan looked a little cute when she was anxious, her eyes were red like a little rabbit, but she sat in his arms and moved up and down anxiously...

Gu Chenyan took a deep breath. Every time he bullied Xu Yan, he was the one who was tormented.

"You don't have to go, but you have to make a sacrifice." Gu Chenyan raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully.

Xu Yan obviously misunderstood and looked at Gu Chenyan with red ears.

How could he not be ashamed in broad daylight?

But she wanted to keep Gu Chenyan so much that she had to take the initiative to unbutton Gu Chenyan's clothes.

"..." Gu Chenyan's hand touching the ring paused. He had nothing to do to stimulate himself.

"Don't flirt." Gu Chenyan said in a hoarse voice. Gu Chenyan trapped Xu Yan's hand and put a ring on her ring finger.

"We are still drawing out the designs for the wedding ring and the diamond ring. This is a matching ring. I chose it myself." Gu Chenyan pinched Xu Yan's finger and looked at it for a while. The size was just right.

Xu Yan sat stiffly on Gu Chenyan's lap and didn't react for a long time.

Gu Chenyan didn't give her a chance to react. He took a photo with his mobile phone. The photo showed a close-up of Gu Chenyan and Xu Yan holding hands. They had two plain platinum rings, low-key but beautiful.

"Gu...Mr. Gu, what are you going to do...?" Xu Yan's heart tightened, realizing that something was not right.

Gu Chenyan raised his lips and pulled Xu Yan into his arms with a wicked smile. "Don't worry, my face wasn't photographed."

He also had to protect Xu Yan's privacy from being harmed.

"You want to make it public..." Xu Yan was very nervous.

"Isn't it possible?" Gu Chenyan said in a muffled voice. "I'm not responsible if you sleep?"

Xu Yan bit her lips tightly. "Although making the marriage news public can solve a lot of troubles, as I said just now... if the Zhong family is forced into a hurry, they may jump over the wall. They must have something against Gu Xingye."

"It's not my fault." Gu Chenyan muttered, it was none of his business.

"But..." Xu Yan was a little anxious, but Zhong Wantong had his leverage. "Six years ago, even if Zhong Wantong planned that matter, you...you could still be considered sleeping with it. If Zhong Wantong exposed that matter..."

Gu Chenyan frowned.
