In Gu Xi’s previous life, Gu Xue’er had already gotten away with her tricks and had even thrown a banquet to celebrate her success at around this time. Based on what Gu Xi could recall, Xing Beiyan had successfully closed this deal two days ago. Since he had full ownership of the rights to this piece of land, Gu Xi had nothing else to worry about. This time, she would make sure that they would not only waste their efforts and fail to take advantage of her but would also end up losing what they already had! Humph! If they wanted to take advantage of her and profit at her expense, they would have to pay the price. “Really?” Gu Xue’er soon replied to her message.“Of course. Xing Beiyan said it himself. I heard that everything is going to happen within these two days. I also heard that the mayor likes beautiful young women and money the most. As long as you show enough sincerity, things will definitely work out!” A faint malicious smile appeared on Gu Xi’s lips.In reality, the mayor
Despite his worries, Gu Tianxiang thought that it should not be unreasonable for him to gain some benefits from Xing Beiyan anyway, considering how much Xing Beiyan loved his daughter. “I see Beiyan is here too.” Gu Tianxiang called out warmly. The rest of the people there were surprised and hurriedly asked, “Do you guys know each other?” Since he was having a meal with the mayor, this young man should be no ordinary person. When they noticed that faintly recognizable air of supremacy surrounding him, they became certain that this young man was someone of an extraordinary status. It seemed like Gu Tianxiang knew him personally. In that case, the information they had received this time was most likely accurate as well. “This is my son-in-law, Xing Beiyan. He’s the founder of the Dark Night Group and the current CEO of the Golden Age Group,” Gu Tianxiang introduced. As he talked about his son-in-law’s immense and fearsome background, he felt his own status being elevated as well. T
“Okay…” Xing Beiyan nodded and did not say anything more, even though it was the mayor who had spoken to him.When everyone else saw this, they became at a loss for words. Before them, one was Mr. Mayor while the other was a commanding and influential figure in the business world. Their very presence felt so stifling that the other businessmen remained standing in silence; they did not dare to make any movement without receiving any instructions from these two men. Gu Tianxiang never expected Xing Beiyan to disregard him like this in front of so many people. He was filled with anger and fear as he wondered if Gu Xi had offended this man in any way. If this man were to make a move against the Gu family, then they might not be able to gain a firm foothold in A City anymore. Despite Gu Tianxiang being upset, he was still capable of holding in his anger. After all, he had been a businessman for more than ten years. Upon hearing the mayor mentioning his daughter, Gu Tianxiang could not s
Xing Beiyan was about to enter the car when his assistant, who had been trailing behind him, came over and said, “Master, the eldest daughter of the Gu family sent you a message.”He had always used two separate phones, one for private use while the other for social and business use. He mainly used his business phone number to keep in contact with his family members and friends. Thus, many people had his business number. Xing Beiyan would carry his private phone on him at all times as his private number was only known to Gu Xi.He would have this phone on sound mode at any time no matter where he was to await her messages. However, in the past two years, this phone had always been silent. It was only because Gu Xi had finally been contacting him lately that the phone had gradually come to be more actively used. Naturally, since Xing Beiyan carried this phone on him, no one else dared to even touch it. Meanwhile, his business phone was usually with his trusted assistant. Xing Beiy
‘Since you’re so eager to fly out of your cage and leave me, I might as well cut off your wings, so that you… Can never leave again…’‘Xixi, I told you before. This time, I will never let go of you again, even if it means having to go to hell together…’As the car zoomed down the street and turned in an arc, a stifling air filled the entire car, making Yang Fan go pale in the passenger seat. He had not seen his Master look so terrifying for a very long time... At the Xing family’s residence, Gu Xi had become rather drowsy while waiting for Xing Beiyan. Nonetheless, she was able to stop her eyes from closing as she wanted to at least see him first. Unfortunately, what she was about to face was not a ray of sunshine but a storm! “Bang…” The sound of a car door slamming shut woke her up from her drowsy state.When she lifted her gaze and looked over, her eyes were full of anticipation that she was not aware of herself. Nonetheless, when she saw that bleak look on Xing Beiyan’s face,
Xing Beiyan’s body went stiff for a moment. When he looked back at her, there seemed to be a mixture of emotions in his eyes. “Xixi, do you still remember what I said to you before?”“Yes, I remember…” Gu Xi remembered very clearly every word he had said to her. “Will you please believe me? No matter what you saw, none of it is real,” she explained while reaching out to tug on his sleeve. Xing Beiyan’s gaze flickered for a moment. “Darling?” Gu Xi swung her hands back and forth as a pleading tone entered her voice. “Please stop being angry, will you…” ‘Shameless!’ Yang Fan cursed under his breath while standing behind Xing Beiyan when he noticed his master’s mood visibly taking a turn for the better. ‘Unbelievable. This girl is actually trying to act cute in front of Master. She’s obviously feeling guilty!’ Unfortunately, his Master liked it the most when she acted this way.“Okay…”When he saw his Master being so obedient as Gu Xi pulled him toward the table, Yang Fan nearly
Butler Wang soon came in along with the rest of the servants. Thus, Gu Xi and Xing Beiyan had their dinner peacefully in a strange atmosphere. The servants and subordinates around them finally sighed in relief when they saw the two protagonists going upstairs. Gu Xi knew that what had happened today was a serious matter. Otherwise, Xing Beiyan would not have flown into a rage and decide to confine her within their house. Initially, she hoped to see him and explain the situation to him by coming home earlier. Unfortunately, he did not come back until much later. After taking a bath, Gu Xi lay on her bed and felt rather depressed as she thought about everything that had happened today. She would be getting her exam results tomorrow, but no one knew just how important her marks meant to her this time. After all, Gu Xi had been working very hard for a long time to achieve such results. Therefore, she wished she could be there in person to witness the incredulous and upset look on Gu
“I won’t go!” Gu Xi exclaimed and threw her Winnie-the-Pooh doll onto his large bed angrily. Then, after glaring at him, she proceeded to hop onto his bed and jumped on it twice as though she was trying to get revenge. As a result, his initially tidy bed was turned into a mess.Xing Beiyan tightened his grip on the wine glass and then suddenly placed it aside before walking over. “What are you trying to do?” Then, as Xing Beiyan stopped dead in his tracks and looked down at the young girl who had wrapped herself in his blanket while pretending to sleep, he stared at her beautiful little face with a somewhat dark gaze.“I’m not trying to do anything. I just want to sleep.” Gu Xi opened her eyes abruptly and felt a pang in her heart when she met his cold gaze. Soon after, she lowered her head sadly like a wounded little animal. “Aren’t we married? Xing Beiyan, why can’t I sleep…”She tried to suppress her emotions. “You… Do you really hate me that much?”Xing Beiyan was dumbstruck and f
