I went to the wrong table on a blind date, and I got married to a billionaire CEO

"Dad, I didn't say I wouldn't help Qianxue. You know very well that that's not what I meant."

The angry old man blew his beard and glared: "That's what you mean, Chenchen. In addition to making money every day, is there any human touch in your mind?"

"You don't need to teach me a lesson. All investments made by businessmen are based on profitability. This is what I taught you."

"But now I'm helping your wife. Xiaoxue is the daughter-in-law of our Gu family, not an outsider. What's wrong with spending hundreds of millions on her? With such a big industry, the Gu family still cares about such a small amount of money?" Gu Yingzong's face turned dark with anger. I don’t even drink the good Longjing before it rains.

Gu Beichen turned his head to the side, his meaning was clear.

This is inconsistent with his usual style.

"Okay!" Gu Yingzong almost ran away: "If you don't want to acquire it, I will do it myself. I still don't believe it. I am the chairman and I can't make a decision with an investment of hundreds of millions!"

Gu Beichen sneered: "Yes, it is true that you are the chairman of Beichen Group, but don't forget that when you abdicated, you made a written promise to me and the board of directors that you would not interfere in any of my decisions. It is precisely because you promised I took over our family's business under these conditions. Without my signature and seal, any decision made by you as the chairman is invalid."

"You..." Gu Ying pointed at him angrily: "Gu Beichen, you are really good. If I pay for it myself, I don't believe it. This building can't be built."

"Dad, I understand how you feel, but have you really thought about it? Acquisition and development of real estate are different. I'm sure that small house developer took the money and went overseas."

Gu Beichen tried to persuade him: "If you want to acquire, you must first find the original real estate development company and go through the procedures with the relevant departments. Only after these procedures are completed can we restart the project. The relevant departments will be our Gu family Just say hello, but the developer has run away, where can I find them?"

"Didn't you see the pitiful expression on Xiaoxue's face when she came back at noon? She didn't even take a few sips of the pork belly and chicken soup I cooked. You don't feel sorry for your wife at all."

Gu Yingzong sighed leisurely: "As her husband, you should help her, right?"

If possible, Gu Beichen wouldn't want her to encounter this kind of thing. After all, for ordinary people, this is a heavy blow, and half a life's savings may be wasted like this.

"I can help her, and I'm even willing to buy another house for her, but my rationality tells me that I can't take over this property, and Beichen Group will not do it at a loss."

"You are so horribly wise."

"Shouldn't it be right? You have taught me since I was a child that any emergency should be dealt with rationally. Only when you calm down can you make the wisest decision."

Gu Yingzong suddenly discovered that he had taught his son how to do business, but he was indeed lacking in human sophistication.

Just like last time, Shen Qianxue called him personally, but received a cold rejection.

It wasn't until Gu Beichen realized that she was angry that he compromised.

At Gu Yingzong's age, his desire for money and power has long been indifferent. Instead, he pays more attention to the warmth of family and the care of his partner.

He is already in his twilight years and will eventually return to dust. Only the true love in the world can warm people's hearts.

But from Gu Beichen's perspective, everything seemed to be going right.

"Okay, I hope you can think about it carefully." Gu Yingzong was speechless. He was responsible for half of his son's current behavior.

Who can blame this? They say parents are their children's best teachers, and it's true.

"You really should face your heart. Xiaoxue is a good girl. I don't want you to let her down."

Gu Yingzong sighed: "She is worth everything you give."

Shen Qianxue has a quality that ordinary people don't have. He believes that as long as there is enough time, his son will fall in love with Xiaoxue.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem that uncomfortable anymore.

"You can continue working. I have to go back and cook the goose for my daughter-in-law." The goose I brought back yesterday is still in the refrigerator.

"You should also go home early. You are busy till late every day. Please spend more time with Xiaoxue." After Gu Yingzong finished speaking, he stood up and left.

"Wait a minute." Gu Beichen called to the old man who was about to leave.

"Don't you think that paving the floor in a rental house every day will have an impact on your health?"

"You also know that it affects my health, so why don't you take over the unfinished building?"

Gu Beichen held his forehead in confusion: "Here we go again, Dad, let me think about this matter. You should go back to the villa quickly. If you continue to live like this, your body will not be able to bear it."

Gu Yingzong stood up and recalled with a smile: "I still remember the years when dad first met your mom, when the war was going on. The life was ten times harder than this, and the house we lived in was even worse, but it was really warm. It was also that year. , your mother is pregnant with you..."

Later, Gu Beichen thoughtfully poured tea for him to soothe his throat and listened quietly to his father reminiscing about his youth.

"Let me tell you, why do our Gu family have to live together? Because in our Gu family, family ties are above all else. Your grandma is getting older and wants to hold her great-grandson more and more. When I went back yesterday, I was scolded by her. It’s Dun.”

"If your mother and I hadn't tried our best to stop her, the old lady would have really come here to see her grandson-in-law with her own eyes."

Well, at this point, Gu Beichen knew very well that if he wanted to drive the old man away, grandma would probably come over in person.

"Don't you think it's warm to have me at home cooking for you?"

"Dad, as long as you like it." Gu Beichen said helplessly.

After thinking about it, Gu Beichen said calmly: "Dad, I have no objection to your shamelessness in living in a rental house, but have you ever asked Qian Xue, what if she doesn't like you living here either?"

"Have you ever said that about Dad?" Gu Yingzong put down the teacup: "Why am I so shameless?"

"I know very well what kind of person my daughter-in-law is, and you don't need to tell me here."

"What if all she said were polite words?"

"Humph, on the first day I moved in, I discovered that Xiaoxue is a person who particularly longs for family affection. Unlike some people, they don't know their blessings when they are in the midst of blessings."

"Dad, some of the people you are talking about are me."

Gu Yingzong analyzed: "Have you really read her information carefully? When she was five years old, her father disappeared. When she was thirteen years old, her mother took her to remarry into the Qian family. According to the situation, she lived in the Qian family. It’s not good.”

"I took a cursory look at these. Even so, it doesn't explain that she treats you sincerely, right?"

Gu Yingzong said anxiously: "Don't interrupt, just listen to me."

"..." Gu Beichen was helpless.

"If my investigation is correct, she never received any warmth at home in the Qian family, and she never called her stepfather daddy."

"But Xiaoxue changed her name to dad the first day she saw me."

Gu Beichen retorted: "Looking at you being happy doesn't prove anything?"

Gu Yingzong continued: "The environment where Xiaoxue grew up can be said to be very harsh. It is commendable that she can still maintain her original intention, be kind and self-reliant."

It's hard for Gu Beichen to imagine that people who can grow up in such an environment shouldn't have various flaws?

But why does Shen Qianxue always look sunny? Every time she comes home, she always smiles, as if all the hardships in the world can't defeat her.

She must be feeling bitter inside, right? Gu Beichen couldn't help but feel a desire to protect her.

This is a distressing girl.

Before Gu Beichen could think more, Gu Yingzong's words rang out again:

"Her stepfather is simply not a human being. Every time he comes home drunk, he takes out all the troubles he suffered in the business on her. Beating and scolding are commonplace."

"When Xiaoxue grew up a little, that stepfather was like a beast, no, even worse than a beast, and he actually touched Xiaoxue. Later, Xiaoxue's tolerance did not awaken Qian Feng's conscience, but intensified his behavior."

Gu Yingzong simply finished what he found out at once: "This time Xiaoxue ran out and was almost pushed down by the beast. That's why she wanted to go on a blind date and marry herself to find a man to rely on!"

When Gu Yingzong went back yesterday and saw this information, he almost used his connections to make that bastard spend his whole life picking up soap in prison.

He patted his son on the shoulder: "Chenchen, her stepfather is a scumbag left to you two to deal with. I saw this yesterday and almost wanted to destroy him."

Gu Beichen was completely confused. He didn't expect Shen Qianxue to have such a difficult past. How did she get here alone in these years?

Thinking about it, I feel so pitiful!
