She kept staring at her phone, but there was no news. Before Gu Tanfeng left, he told her to wait patiently and said that there would be news soon. But now …
At this moment, Gu Tanfeng had also tangled with Jani for a while. In his heart, he had already gained a good understanding of this person. Since he had provoked him and still wanted to take away so many benefits, this kind of thing had probably never happened before.
"Mr Gu, since we have reached an agreement, our people …"
Jani already knew that Gu Tanfeng had controlled their people. The lives of more than ten people were in the hands of Gu Tanfeng, which surprised Jani.
He had never thought that a businessman would have such means and ability.
"Your people are very safe, but if there is the slightest mistake in what I want, let alone your people, your many years of foundation is very likely to go up in flames. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see!"
"You …"
"Before I go back, I want to see my son safe at home and unharmed."
"Gu Tanfeng …"
Jani roared angrily. He had probably never been so angry before. This time, he was really unlucky to meet Gu Tanfeng. He looked at his back with a face full of anger and said nothing.
On the way back, Zhang Chen looked at Gu Tanfeng in confusion. This Jani was originally so arrogant, but now he was so careful and his attitude had changed 180 degrees …
"Can't figure it out?"
Gu Tanfeng closed his eyes and said with a faint smile.
"But …"
"I knew that Jani would not give up so easily, so I have already found someone to control his base in advance. He will not give up the base he has been operating for so many years so easily."
"Then the batch of goods we promised him …"
"Since he has been in this country for so many years, he must have a certain level of strength. We can't fight him head-on. It will be fine as long as we achieve our goal."
Zhang Chen nodded. After following Gu Tanfeng for so many years, he really admired him.
When Gu Tanfeng returned to the company, he looked at Wan Qianqian, who was lying on the table with tears in her eyes. His heart ached and he slowly covered her with his clothes.
"How is it?"
Wan Qianqian woke up with a start. When she saw Gu Tanfeng, she grabbed his hand and said anxiously.
"When have I ever failed? Is your husband that bad? "
"What about Xin Yue?"
"Don't worry, I'll be home soon."
"Really?"
"Don't worry. This kind of thing won't happen again."
"Then I will go home now."
"I'll see you off."
Wan Qianqian lay on the chair, her mind constantly recalling the things that had happened over the years. She had experienced all sorts of ups and downs, and she had never retreated. But this time, she really panicked.
She had never felt this way before. She even wondered if all of this would not have happened if she had not come to Kangaroo Country to develop.
Kangaroo Country's development was in full swing, like the sun rising to the sky. In just a few years, there were such results, but the price that came with it made her more and more flustered.
If they were in the country at that time, none of this would have happened. Her son and daughter were so young, but they were forced to accept so many things. Wan Qianqian was very conflicted.
Gu Tanfeng's gaze was fixed on Wan Qianqian. He couldn't say anything in this situation …
When they got home, Wan Qianqian got out of the car. The moment she saw Xin Yue, she ran over and hugged Xin Yue tightly. Tears kept flowing out of her eyes.
"How could you run out on your own? Do you know how worried Mom and Dad were? "
Wan Qianqian said reproachfully.
"Alright, the child just came back. Let's go in."
Gu Tanfeng looked around. No one could understand the sorrow in his eyes.
After comforting Xin Yue with great difficulty, Wan Qianqian tiptoed out. He understood that Gu Tanfeng had no choice. The pain in his heart was no less than anyone else's.
It was probably the best ending for today's incident to end here.
Just like that, a few days passed. Wan Qianqian basically didn't go to work. He stayed at home to comfort Xin Yue and Gu Tanfeng. He didn't expect to see Xiao Xia again.
In the morning, the whole family had just finished breakfast. When they heard the sound of Gu Tanfeng's car, the children ran out excitedly to welcome him. Wan Qianqian didn't expect that the person following behind Gu Tanfeng would be Xiao Xia.
"This is?"
Wan Qianqian asked curiously.
"Come here, I'll explain to you."
Gu Tanfeng held onto Wan Qianqian's hand and walked inside. Looking at his gaze, Wan Qianqian only hoped that nothing more would happen.
"Did something happen again?"
The two of them walked into the bedroom and Gu Tanfeng gently closed the door.
"Nothing happened. It's Zhang Chen and this woman. She's seriously injured and it's not good for her to stay in the company. Zhang Chen asked me to stay here for a few days."
"Seriously injured? What happened? "
"I haven't found out yet, but this woman must be hiding something from us and Zhang Chen."
"It's not a problem to stay here. There are so many rooms. I'll just ask Xiao Ju to clean one up. Zhang Chen has helped me so many times. It's only right for me to help him this time. "
Wan Qianqian could understand. A man and a woman must have a lot of inconveniences. Plus, this woman was injured …
"Okay …"
"How did you deal with the matter with Carl last time?"
Since the last time, Wan Qianqian didn't ask about it. But according to Wan Qianqian's understanding, Gu Tanfeng wouldn't let this person go.
"I didn't do much. I just taught him a lesson. But the show is coming."
"Hmm?"
During this period of time, because of business matters, Gu Tanfeng had fought with Jani a few times. This person was proud and arrogant. After suffering a loss last time, he always wanted to get back at him and play tricks on Gu Tanfeng behind his back.
He remembered it all in his heart and was just waiting for the opportunity to give this person a heavy blow.
Ever since Xiao Xia stayed here, her daily life was very regular. Wan Qianqian didn't have much interaction with her. She was also very quiet. Xiao Xia almost never went out of the room. Even though she invited her many times, it was to no avail.
One day, Wan Qianqian remembered that Gu Tanfeng had told her about her injury and found an excuse to go take a look.
"Please come in!"
"Xiao Xia, I'm here to see you."
She was clearly in her own home, but Wan Qianqian actually felt uncomfortable all over.
"Hmm? What's wrong? "
Xiao Xia was reading on the balcony. When she saw Wan Qianqian, she walked out.
"It's nothing. I heard that you were injured last time, so I wanted to see how you are.
Do you need my help? "
Wan Qianqian said with a smile.
"I'm already much better. It's not a big deal."
"Don't. You're a girl. You have to be careful. Since you live here, we're family. Don't be so polite."
"Thank you. I'm really fine."
"Are you still blaming me for what happened last time?"
Wan Qianqian wanted to know. This woman was seriously injured at Carl's place. There was only one possibility — this woman had offended Carl. Then, this woman's background …
After working as a lawyer for so many years, Wan Qianqian had developed a rigorous habit. She couldn't help but let her imagination run wild. Perhaps, even Zhang Chen didn't know Xiao Xia's real identity.
Although she didn't know why, Gu Tanfeng had been avoiding mentioning her identity, Wan Qianqian could only guess on her own.
"How could I? What happened last time was my fault. How can I blame others? "
"Then let me have a look at your injuries."
Xiao Xia was very hesitant, but seeing that Wan Qianqian was very enthusiastic, she compromised.
"Actually, these injuries are really nothing. They'll be fine in a few days."
Wan Qianqian was very surprised. Xiao Xia's injuries were on her back, but in addition to the unhealed wounds, the healed scars were also shocking.
She even suspected that these were scars on a girl's body.
"You must have been shocked!"
"No … It's just that these scars make my heart ache to see."
Was this all caused by Carl? No wonder Zhang Chen had risked his life to save her and desperately asked Gu Tanfeng to save her.
Wan Qianqian took the medicine box and carefully treated her wounds. It seemed that if she didn't help her today, this woman would continue to endure and wait for the wounds to heal on their own.
"I'm used to it."
"How could that devil be like this?"
"That kind of people, torturing people is their pleasure, so they deserve to die!"
Wan Qianqian could hear that Xiao Xia hated Carl to the core.
She tried her best to treat it carefully, but it was inevitable that she would touch it. However, Xiao Xia didn't say a word. Wan Qianqian suddenly felt that she had changed. She was so narrow-minded.
"Alright, I'll help you deal with it in a few days.
It should be healed soon. "
"Thank you …"
"Xiao Xia, since you're now at my house, you don't have to be so polite. Just treat this as your own home."
Wan Qianqian originally wanted to invite Xiao Xia to go out with her.
She didn't want to stay in the room all the time. Even if she wasn't sick, she would get sick. However, what Xiao Xia said next made her feel even more pity for this woman.
"Home? It seems that I haven't heard this word for a long time. "
"Hmm? Where is your home? I really don't know from your accent. "
"I don't know where my home is either. I don't have a home. "
The endless loneliness in her eyes made one's heart ache. In Xiao Xia's mind, she had never had the luxury of thinking about home. She had already forgotten what home was after all these years of suffering.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned it."
"It's okay, it's nothing."
After a flash, she regained her calmness. Wan Qianqian packed up the medicine box and wanted to say something, but stopped on second thought.
After she walked out, she sighed inexplicably. She felt very sorry for this girl.
In the evening, Gu Tanfeng returned home. After the joy, Wan Qianqian recalled what happened during the day. She leaned on Gu Tanfeng's body and said sadly.
"This Xiao Xia really makes one's heart ache."
"What's wrong?"
