Jiang Yansheng slept in a daze the whole night. She kept having nightmares. In her dreams, a small hand tightly grabbed the corner of her clothes and asked her why she didn't want him anymore.
She gripped the quilt tightly and woke up with a start. She sat up straight on the bed and panted heavily.
The doctor who had told her that he was experienced last night was nowhere to be found. She was the only one left in the ward.
Jiang Yansheng took out her phone. The notification of Gu Yan adding her as a friend was still popping up. She even saw the man's firm chin through the screen.
She suddenly smiled.
At least she could be sure that she didn't break up with Gu Yan on a whim, nor was it because of the child in her belly.
Her phone suddenly vibrated. Xiao Chuyun's call came in at the right time.
Jiang Yansheng pinched his dry throat and answered the phone.
"What's the matter?"
Xiao Chuyun smiled gently. "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood? Your voice is so cold. Can't I come to you for no reason? "
He added, "Aren't we friends?"
Jiang Yansheng was silent for a moment and coughed. "Yes."
"What are you thinking about? Why do you sound so nervous? " Xiao Chuyun sneered. Even on the phone, she could feel that he had obviously let go of his aggressive attitude towards Jiang Yansheng and became like a harmless house cat.
"I'm not nervous." Jiang Yansheng's palms were sweating as she rubbed her temples. She didn't know if it was a conditioned reflex, but as long as she heard a man's voice, she would subconsciously be afraid.
"The bidding will be held the day after tomorrow. Will the Jiang Clan be participating?"
"Yes." Jiang Yansheng smiled. "You don't have to worry about that. The money the Jiang Clan has prepared won't even be enough to cover your expenses."
Not only did he not prepare the money, but he also hoped that he could negotiate the deal with just his mouth. That was wishful thinking.
You can't talk about feelings with just anyone. Sometimes, it's a dead end.
"I've never worried about the Jiang Clan." Xiao Chuyun's tone is shockingly arrogant, but he has the courage to look down on the Jiang Clan. "I'm worried about you."
"Are you not feeling well these two days? I had a friend in Renze yesterday, he told me that he saw you fainting in the hall. "
Jiang Yansheng rolled his eyes and chose to keep the baby a secret. He said casually, "The doctor said it's not a big problem. Maybe I stayed up late a few days ago."
"Do you want to have a meal with me on the day of the bidding and then I'll send you there?"
Jiang Yansheng smiled and dismissed Xiao Chuyun's idea with the excuse that the company had made arrangements that day.
After hanging up, she rubbed her eyes, feeling a headache coming on.
The bidding was already close at hand.
Then it was certain that she would go to the Gu clan. It was inevitable that she would see Gu Yan.
Now, he could only pray in his heart that Gu Yan would come to his senses that day and not show up at the bidding venue.
However, Jiang Yansheng's plan failed.
When she entered the door of the Gu clan, dressed formally and cautiously with her second uncle, she saw the man standing upright in the sunshine.
He was leaning against the gorgeous crystal floor-to-ceiling window in the hall on the first floor of the Gu clan. The tailor-made suit he was wearing made him look extremely handsome from the back.
Jiang Yansheng saw Gu Yan, and so did his second uncle.
His small eyes darted around for a moment, and suddenly a bright light burst out. He elbowed Jiang Yansheng's arm fiercely.
"Yansheng, what are you doing here?" Second uncle pouted in the direction of Gu Yan. "Don't you know each other? You're old acquaintances. Hurry up and catch up. After all, our bidding is already in the bag. Isn't it right to get to know each other in advance? "
It's right?
Jiang Yansheng sneered in his heart, but his face was indifferent. "The representatives of the other companies have already come in. It's not good for us to talk to Boss Gu now."
Her second uncle, who was not very smart and only thought about taking advantage of others, seemed to believe that the Gu clan's bidding was in the bag this time. He didn't know that she had never thought about letting the Jiang Clan win the bidding from the beginning.
She was willing to help Second Uncle with the bidding because she wanted his shares.
Jiang Yansheng slightly lowered his eyes to calculate the shares in his hands. His fingertips gently touched and then let go, and he calculated again doubtfully.
He originally thought that he would have to rack his brains to persuade another shareholder to exceed Jiang Chu's shares. How come it was already higher than Jiang Chu's?
When Jiang Yansheng was calculating for the third time in his heart, he heard the sound of leather shoes rubbing against the ground. Second uncle, who was standing in front of her and blocking her view, couldn't help but gasp.
She had been concentrating on her own affairs just now, but now she had to divert some of her attention.
The man who was standing dozens of meters away just now had already walked in front of her. Jiang Yansheng's heart was beating like a drum, and he even had difficulty breathing.
Behind him, representatives of the other companies kept walking in through the door of the Gu clan, talking and laughing. Everyone's eyes seemed to fall on the man who could be said to be the focus of the audience.
Second Uncle, who was standing next to him, straightened his chest as if he had done something very proud, feeling the light and shallow gazes of the people around him.
Jiang Yansheng couldn't help but clench his fists on the side of his body.
Would Gu Yan come to talk to her?
A gust of wind blew past her ears.
The wind didn't even blow up her hair.
Gu Yan directly brushed past her with a cold expression.
Not only did he not speak, but he didn't even look at her. There was no interaction between the two of them, as if they were strangers.
Jiang Yansheng's heart, which had been beating wildly in the air just now, slowly fell to the ground with a little inexplicable joy and disappointment.
She raised the corner of her mouth in a self-deprecating manner.
Yes, didn't she break up with Gu Yan?
Even if it was only for half a month, it was still considered a break up.
But her eyes still subconsciously drifted to Gu Yan, only to see Gu Yan walk past her and walk to the gate of the Gu clan.
A black luxury Rolls-Royce stopped silently outside the gate. The door opened, and a slender leg came out.
Gu Yiyi was not qualified to participate in the company's bidding, so she didn't dress formally today. The puffy light pink princess dress made the woman who was smiling down look beautiful, which was the complete opposite of what she did.
She was like a white lotus blooming on the mud, and Jiang Yansheng couldn't help but feel disgusted.
But Gu Yan reached out a hand and helped Gu Yiyi get down.
The glass door of the hall opened and closed. Jiang Yansheng couldn't hear what they were talking about. He only saw that Gu Yiyi pretended to stumble into Gu Yan's arms like a happy bird and smiled sweetly in public.
Gu Yan didn't push her away.
Jiang Yansheng stared blankly. He stretched out a hand and patted his chest heavily.
It hurt badly.
Gu Yiyi was "blind", but her vision was amazing. She saw Jiang Yansheng who was a little lost. She put Gu Yan's slender hand on her slim waist as if to show off.
She gave Jiang Yansheng an innocent smile.
Jiang Yansheng didn't want to be outdone and returned a smile, but it was more disdainful and contemptuous.
"Yansheng, what's going on?" Second Uncle, who was extremely arrogant just now, suddenly became dispirited. He looked at Jiang Yansheng in panic. "Why did Gu Yan act like he didn't see us just now? Didn't you say you had an agreement with him … "
Jiang Yansheng looked at Second Uncle coldly, and Second Uncle immediately fell silent.
"Second Uncle, you'd better figure out where we are now." Jiang Yansheng smiled faintly. "Even if you think you're whispering to me, you shouldn't have the guts to directly call Boss Gu's full name."
Second Uncle's pupils twitched, and by the time he reacted, Jiang Yansheng had already left with large strides.
He looked back at the two people who were still talking with their heads lowered outside the Gu Clan's door. He stomped his feet and shouted for Jiang Yansheng to wait for him.
As soon as they left, another luxury car drove in from behind the Rolls-Royce.
Gu Yan pushed Gu Yiyi away from his arms and said coldly, "Your legs are numb. Let the bodyguards carry you up. The company has been here a few times, and I'm very busy. If you need someone to pick you up next time, just call Secretary Liu."
Standing behind Gu Yiyi was a middle-aged man in a decent suit with a meticulous expression on his face. He bowed slightly to Gu Yan and said, "I'm sorry to have caused trouble for Boss Gu. If it weren't for the young lady who has been clamoring to see you, the chairman wouldn't have called in person."
"He forgot that there was a bidding today." Gu Yan's eyes were indifferent, and when he looked at Secretary Liu, it was like a heavy burden weighing down on him, making him unable to lift his head. "You don't know either?"
Just now, Gu Yiyi suddenly rushed into his arms and made up a random excuse, which was full of loopholes.
Secretary Liu bowed slightly, and there was no sign of reflection on his face. He said calmly, "I'm sorry, Boss Gu. I thought the chairman knew …"
Gu Yiyi looked up innocently and acted like a spoiled child to Gu Yan. "What's wrong? Why is Ah Ran angry? Is it because he came to pick me up? Daddy clearly said that you would be fine … "
Gu Yan's eyes darkened. "Didn't I tell you not to call me Ah Ran, just call me brother?"
Gu Yiyi's soft voice and innocent face always reminded him of the woman who turned and walked away without looking back yesterday.
There was a braking sound behind him. When Xiao Chuyun elegantly got out of the car, he saw the Gu Family's brother and sister standing there affectionately.
He looked up and made sure that it was the door of the Gu clan, and then said coldly, "It's not good to be at the door of the company so early in the morning, is it?"
Gu Yiyi was shy, and she blushed when she heard this. She said softly, "What are you talking about?"
Xiao Chuyun didn't care about this woman who had so many scenes. In his company, there were many actresses who could act better than Gu Yiyi, and he was tired of them.
He didn't know how Gu Yan could bear it.
Xiao Chuyun pinched his cold gold-rimmed glasses, walked to Gu Yan, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Since you have nothing to do with Yansheng."
