A kind of fear that she had never felt before slowly climbed up her back, and she didn't even have the time to breathe.
Although she had heard from Gu Yan that Gu Sichu was inhumane, scary, and cold-blooded, it was the first time that she had been so close to this man.
Since he had been her mother's suitor when he was young, why did Gu Sichu rarely appear by her mother's side when she was young, and why did he always look at her with a kind of faint coldness in his eyes now?
Jiang Yansheng shook her shoulders. She braced herself and didn't turn around. She walked forward with heavy steps.
Suddenly, she heard a voice behind her.
"Wait a minute."
Jiang Yansheng's breath was cold. She adjusted her expression and tried to make the smile on her face look natural. She turned around and met Gu Sichu's hawk-like eyes.
This man was in his forties or fifties, and he was almost on the opposite side of Jiang Chu. When Jiang Chu was middle-aged, he was like a balloon. He became shorter and his beer belly was getting bigger.
But Gu Sichu seemed to be a very strict person, not to mention that he had a huge group like the Gu clan in his hands.
"Gu … Chairman Gu." Jiang Yansheng turned around with a smile.
Gu Sichu looked at her coldly, and his deep eyes were bloodshot. He said, "Why did you come to the Gu clan today?"
"Are you looking for Gu Yan?"
The only thing Gu Sichu knew about Jiang Yansheng was Gu Yan's ex-wife.
Jiang Yansheng was stunned. She quickly waved her hand to clarify her messy relationship with Gu Yan. "Chairman Gu, you must be joking. Isn't your company bidding today? I'm just here on behalf of the company. Besides, my relationship with Mr. Gu is not what you think … "
Gu Sichu's throat moved. His eyes met Jiang Yansheng's, and he seemed to want to say something.
Footsteps could be heard from the end of the corridor. The sound was serious but not anxious. A man dressed like a secretary with a standard parting hair walked up to Gu Sichu in a few steps, a suit jacket lying quietly in the crook of his arm.
"Chairman, you forgot to bring your coat." The secretary saw Jiang Yansheng standing in front of Gu Sichu, but his eyes only skimmed over him. With a formal smile on his face, he bowed respectfully beside Gu Sichu and helped him put on his coat.
The moment Gu Sichu looked away, Jiang Yansheng breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't know if this was the aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time, but when she was stared at by Gu Sichu, she couldn't breathe for a moment. It felt as uncomfortable as if someone was strangling her neck.
"I forgot." Gu Sichu frowned and gently rubbed the area between his eyebrows.
The secretary reminded him softly, "Chairman, Boss Gu is waiting for you in the conference room. The road is this way."
As he spoke, he showed Gu Sichu a road that was completely opposite to the one he had just come from.
Jiang Yansheng stood in front of the two of them and listened to the secretary's words. For a moment, he felt that he couldn't advance or retreat, and he was in a dilemma.
Gu Sichu slowly buttoned up his suit jacket and looked at Jiang Yansheng's face for a while before he said, "I heard that you and Gu Yan haven't completed the divorce procedures?"
Thinking about the divorce agreement that Gu Yan had tricked into lying in the office drawer, Jiang Yansheng laughed dryly. "Almost."
Now that he thought about it, it seemed that two years had just passed.
Gu Sichu looked at her and suddenly smiled. His smile sent chills down people's spines.
"How much is a little?"
He turned to look at the quiet secretary beside him, who seemed to be able to hide in the dark, and said softly, "Secretary Liu, Gu Yan isn't clean when he does things, and he's also sloppy. You'll be responsible for supervising him."
Secretary Liu bowed slightly. "Yes, Chairman."
It was supposed to be between her and Gu Yan, but when it came out of Gu Sichu's mouth, it seemed like it had suddenly been brought to the surface.
Jiang Yansheng's face was a little pale. She felt that the kindness she had shown to Gu Sichu seemed to have been returned to her.
"Regarding the divorce agreement, only Gu Yan and I should be able to participate in it, right?" She really couldn't understand how a secretary, who was completely unrelated to her, could manage everything.
Gu Sichu sneered and glanced at Jiang Yansheng strangely. "As the female, why aren't you anxious at all about the divorce?"
"But Gu Yan should be anxious. After all, he's going to be engaged to Yiyi soon. His reputation should be clean, and he shouldn't have anything to do with any woman."
She wasn't sure if Gu Sichu was talking to Jiang Yansheng or to Secretary Liu.
Secretary Liu bowed. "I'll get it done."
The smile on Jiang Yansheng's face completely froze when she heard Gu Sichu mention Gu Yiyi and Gu Yan's engagement as if it was a common occurrence.
Apart from judging her, Gu Sichu's gaze was also inexplicably disdainful and contemptuous. He gave Jiang Yansheng a smile as if he was pitying her. "If you can get the divorce done faster, I'll still like a woman with a character like yours from the bottom of my heart."
"From now on, Gu Yan and I should go our separate ways. At least don't let me see you in the Gu clan's building." Gu Sichu raised his eyes. "I'll let it go this time, but don't do it again."
"In the future, even if it's about the company, you're a company with thousands of people. Can't you find other senior executives to hold a meeting?"
Gu Sichu looked at Jiang Yansheng with some worry, as if he was hoping that she could understand his painstaking efforts. "Yiyi has been spoiled by me since she was young. She's so delicate. She used to like a dress, but when she saw another girl wearing it in class, she cried and told me that she didn't like it, but someone else had it."
His expression was indifferent, as if what he said wasn't shocking, but as if he was spoiling his disobedient child.
"Later, I directly found the other party's design company and monopolized that dress. From then on, everything that Yiyi has belongs to her alone." He smiled. "You should know what that means, right?"
Jiang Yansheng was so angry that she wanted to laugh.
She couldn't wait to point at Gu Sichu, who was a man with superior eyes, and scold him. Wasn't he just the chairman of a company?
Why did everyone else have to bow and scrape to him and listen to his orders?
She didn't want to listen to this chairman, whose views were almost distorted, talk to her about his parenting experience. Now she finally understood how Gu Yiyi grew up with such an amazing personality.
It turned out that it was this Mr. Gu Sichu who had carved it out.
Secretary Liu, who had been silent on the side, also had a faint smile on his face. Jiang Yansheng couldn't wait to go up and beat this man up.
However, her current identity only allowed her to smile at the two men who were a head taller than her with a pale face. Then she bit her lip and said, "I know."
"It's good that you know." Gu Sichu smiled with satisfaction. He really liked Jiang Yansheng's current submissive and tactful attitude.
The moment she lowered her head, the shadow of another person flashed across his eyes. Gu Sichu's calm mood suddenly showed signs of turning into anger.
Secretary Liu, who was standing on the side, had worked for Gu Sichu for more than ten years. He didn't know anything else, but when he saw his boss's expression, he reacted amazingly quickly. In the next second, he gently patted Gu Sichu's back and considerately reminded him, "Chairman, the break is about to end. It's time to go and see Boss Gu."
Jiang Yansheng instantly looked up, only to catch a fleeting hatred and condemnation from Gu Sichu's pupils.
She couldn't even understand why Gu Sichu was so angry from the beginning.
Why was he so angry from the beginning?
The two of them brushed past Jiang Yansheng one after the other. Jiang Yansheng vaguely felt a gaze fall on her shoulder.
She turned her head and was surprised to find that the gaze was not from Gu Sichu, but from Secretary Liu, who was standing beside him.
Secretary Liu didn't feel awkward when his eyes met Jiang Yansheng's. He just smiled and nodded slightly at her.
It wasn't until the two figures disappeared at the end of the corridor that Jiang Yansheng breathed a sigh of relief. She touched her back and found that her clothes were soaked in cold sweat.
There seemed to be a faint, bone-chilling wind blowing from the end of the road that Gu Sichu had just left.
She really couldn't understand.
According to what everyone around said, Gu Sichu should have had a good relationship with his mother when he was young.
Why did it become like this?
"Why is Miss Jiang standing in the middle of the road?" Jiang Yansheng was in a daze when a gentle and familiar male voice came into her ears and broke her contemplation.
"Are you waiting for me?"
Xiao Chuyun looked at her with a faint smile. The gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose shone with a rare warm light, and it also reflected Jiang Yansheng's unnaturally pale face.
Xiao Chuyun's eyes suddenly became worried. He put the back of his slightly cold hand on Jiang Yansheng's forehead. "What's the matter? Why do you look so pale? The bidding speech hasn't even reached your company yet. Why are you so nervous? "
He withdrew his hand. Apart from the dense cold sweat on Jiang Yansheng's forehead, he didn't feel as hot as he had expected. Instead, it was much colder.
"Nothing. I'm just not feeling well." Jiang Yansheng didn't mention that she had bumped into Gu Sichu just now. She patted her face and smiled sadly.
She looked up at Xiao Chuyun. "I saw your expression just now. It seems that you have won?"
Xiao Chuyun didn't look excited at all. Instead, he was very worried about Jiang Yansheng. He put one hand on Jiang Yansheng's shoulder without hesitation. "What's wrong with your body?"
"Do you have a stomachache?"
His speculation turned into a headache when it came to Jiang Yansheng. The sudden approach of a strange man always made her like a hedgehog with spikes all over her body. She couldn't wait to arm herself to the teeth and not let anyone touch her.
"I said I'm fine. It's already …"
Xiao Chuyun felt her resistance, and he couldn't help but tighten his grip on her. "Jiang Yansheng."
