When Gu Jia opened her eyes and saw the unfamiliar pillows and bedding in front of her, she was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened and she suddenly sat up from the bed.
"here?"
Gu Jia quickly scanned the surrounding area, then touched the clothes on her body and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that the clothes on her body were still there.
This was a strange environment for her, and she wanted to think back on why she was here, but as soon as she thought about it, her head felt severe pain, and she couldn't help but cover her head.
Smelling the strong smell of alcohol emanating from the room, she finally remembered what had happened.
"Last night, no, what on earth did I do?"
The memory slowly emerged in her mind, and Gu Jia covered her face with her hands. Even an elite female like her felt very embarrassed and ashamed when she recalled the scene at that time.
Some people lose their memory when they are drunk, but she was conscious for a while last night, so she has memories of what happened yesterday.
She didn't know what happened to her yesterday, why she drank so much and was willing to come back with Zhou Chen. Could it be that she already recognized Zhou Chen subconsciously?
Shaking his head, Gu Jia quickly got these thoughts out of his mind, and then sat on the edge of the bed.
Seeing her bag on the bedside table, she remembered that she had not returned home all night and wondered what happened to her father and Xu Ziyan.
She took out her cell phone and saw that there were over thirty missed calls, twenty of which were from her father, and the remaining dozen were from Zhong Xiaoqin and Xu Huanshan.
Seeing these missed calls, Gu Jia knew something was wrong. He quickly called his father and briefly explained to him why he didn't come home last night.
Then she called Zhong Xiaoqin back. As for Xu Huanshan, she didn't care.
During the period after the divorce, Xu Huanshan would often call her, but most of the time she wouldn't answer it because she didn't want to tangle with Xu Huanshan any more, and she was afraid that she would become soft-hearted.
After dealing with these matters, Gu Jia was once again in trouble because of her current situation. When she woke up, she was in bed at Zhou Chen's house. She felt embarrassed just thinking about it.
After tidying up her appearance, Gu Jia stood up and took a few deep breaths, then opened the bedroom door with a firm expression.
When she walked out of the bedroom, she saw a familiar living room. She had been to Zhou Chen's house before, so she naturally had an impression of Zhou Chen's living room.
Zhou Chen was quickly found in the living room. He was sitting on the sofa in the living room, facing the laptop in front of him, not knowing what he was operating.
As soon as she walked over, Zhou Chen noticed her. He raised his head, looked at Gu Jia, whose hair was still a little messy, and smiled slightly.
"Our Principal Gu finally woke up. You slept for more than ten hours."
"There is a hangover soup I made in the kitchen. My craftsmanship is average. You can just drink a bowl. It should help your hangover."
Gu Jia, who was a little embarrassed, asked in surprise after hearing this: "Can you make soup?"
Zhou Chen: "What's so surprising about this? It's not like I don't touch Yangchun water. My sobering soup is made with medicinal materials, and the effect is very good."
"You go have a drink first to sober up. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later."
After saying that, he continued to look at the computer.
Gu Jia was originally ready to leave, but seeing that Zhou Chen was kind enough to cook hangover soup for her, it would really be unreasonable for her to leave without taking a sip.
So she stopped being pretentious and walked towards the kitchen. According to Zhou Chen's words, she opened the casserole and there was indeed soup in it.
Zhou Chen is looking at the stock price of Chenxing Pharmaceutical Factory. Chenxing Pharmaceutical Factory was purchased by him privately and does not belong to Huaxing Group.
Since the new drug was launched, he quickly listed the pharmaceutical factory. Within a few months, because the sales of the new drug were getting better and better, the share price of Chenxing Pharmaceutical Factory naturally soared.
In just a few months, the stock price of Chenxing Pharmaceutical Factory has doubled more than ten times, and the growth trend has not slowed down at all. If this situation continues, it is estimated to be at least twenty times the initial price a year ago.
Although the stock price cannot be directly converted into money, it is absolutely terrifying for the development of Chenxing Pharmaceutical Factory.
In just the past few months, Zhou Chen has received invitations from numerous venture capital investors at home and abroad. These people all want to invest in Chenxing Pharmaceutical Factory, and there are also many capital tycoons who want to buy shares of Chenxing Pharmaceutical Factory.
But who is Zhou Chen? Chenxing Pharmaceutical Factory has now become a tool for him to make money. How can he give up his shares so easily?
What's more, he is backed by the Zhou family and has no shortage of funds at all. In the future, he may sell some of his shares under pressure or when he reaches a bottleneck period. But now, except for those he invested in the market, these shares belong to him.
Definitely not for sale.
After a while, Zhou Chen, who heard the footsteps, raised his head and asked Gu Jia, who was walking next to him: "How do you feel after drinking the soup? Are you feeling better?"
"What kind of hangover soup are you talking about? I did feel a lot better after drinking it."
She could also cook hangover soup herself, but compared with Zhou Chen's hangover soup, it was not on the same level at all. She felt comfortable not long after drinking it, and the effect must have been too fast.
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "This is my homemade hangover soup, but it is prepared with precious medicinal materials, so the effect is of course different."
Having said this, he looked at Gu Jia with a half-smile: "Gu Jia, we have known each other for almost a year. The way you were drunk yesterday really opened my eyes to how sensible a woman like you is.
, you can actually get drunk?"
Thinking of yesterday's drunken scene, Gu Jia's face suddenly turned red.
"I am also a normal person, why can't I get drunk? But you didn't do anything bad to me while I was drunk, right?"
As soon as the words came out, Gu Jia was stunned, because it sounded like coquettishness, and she didn't know why she said such words.
Zhou Chen had a wry smile on his face: "I wanted to do something, but I was too timid and didn't do it. To be honest, I feel a little regretful now. If you give me another chance, I will definitely do something."
Everything I should do and shouldn't be done was done."
These words made Gu Jia's face turn redder, and she rolled her eyes at Zhou Chen.
"Not serious at all."
"Zhou Chen, I really thanked you yesterday."
"No need to thank you. It was my fault that I got you drunk the first time we had dinner alone. I decided to apologize and treat you to another meal."
Zhou Chen looked sincere, but Gu Jia rolled her eyes again.
"I won't be fooled by you again. I'll go back and wash up first. I have to go to work later."
"You're like this, so don't go there today and have a good rest at home."
"No, I feel fine now. There are a lot of things in school, I need to go and keep an eye on them."
"Okay, then I'll invite you again tonight?" Zhou Chen asked.
Gu Jia quickly waved her hand: "No, no, I have something to do tonight, so forget it."
"Then when you are free, I will make an appointment with you."
Zhou Chen pressed forward and said that he had noticed that Gu Jia's attitude towards him had changed, so he struck while the iron was hot and pursued the victory.
Gu Jia smiled and said, "Wait until I am free."
After saying that, she left Zhou Chen's home with a smile.
Zhou Chen watched Gu Jia's leaving figure and couldn't help but smile after the door was closed.
"It's a bit like that."
Faced with his invitation again, Gu Jia no longer refused directly as before, but responded back and forth with him, which showed that Gu Jia was already interested in him, or at least had that intention.
When Gu Jia returned home, facing her father's curiosity, she just found an excuse and dealt with it, then washed and ate, and hurried to work.
It's just that Gu Jia was a little out of sorts all day today. From time to time, she would always think of the scene with Zhou Chen yesterday, especially the scenes that made her embarrassed and shy, which always lingered in his mind.
, which made her distressed.
This situation only appeared many years ago when she made friends with Xu Huanshan.
But now she had just been divorced for more than a month, and this situation happened, which made her very uneasy. She didn't know whether she was right or not.
Gu Jia was distressed and couldn't find anyone else to worry about, so she had no choice but to approach Zhong Xiaoqin and ask her to have dinner with her in the evening.
Zhong Xiaoqin was seven months pregnant and had difficulty moving. Gu Jia refused to let her go by herself, so he drove over to pick her up, and the two came to a coffee shop.
Facing her best friend, Gu Jia was not embarrassed and directly told her troubles.
If it were before, she would definitely not do that, but now her mind is very confused and she really doesn't know what to do, so she can only ask her best friend for her opinion.
After listening to Gu Jia's narration, Zhong Xiaoqin was dumbfounded and looked at Gu Jia in disbelief.
"Xiaoqin, Xiaoqin?"
Gu Jia woke up Zhong Xiaoqin, and Zhong Xiaoqin took a drink of water to suppress her shock.
"Gu Gu, are you kidding me?"
Gu Jia smiled bitterly, but she could also understand why Zhong Xiaoqin had such thoughts, because she herself felt that all this was really ridiculous.
Gu Jia's expression said everything, and Zhong Xiaoqin's expression kept changing.
"Gu Gu, you really surprised me. Isn't this too, too, too scary?"
"Gu Gu, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that you shouldn't have a new relationship. Anyway, you are divorced now, and it's not your fault. It's okay to have a new relationship. But, but, why, how could it be him?
Woolen cloth?"
Gu Jia explained: "What new relationship, Xiaoqin, Zhou Chen and I are innocent, but he is pursuing me, and I have not agreed."
"This is what shocked me."
Zhong Xiaoqin: "Who is Zhou Chen? He is a billionaire. I heard from Chen Yu that his net worth is astonishing and he comes from a big family. It stands to reason that there will be no shortage of women. But why did he show up to you when you were not married?"
, I have a crush on you? Gu Gu, your charm is too great, right?"
In her eyes, Gu Jia is the most perfect female representative, but the problem is that the aura around Zhou Chen is too strong, and he is obviously not from the same world as them, so Zhou Chen pursues Gu Jia, and he has been interested in it for a long time.
She started to have a secret love, which she really couldn't understand.
Gu Jiadao: "What's not charming? I'm just a single mother with a child now, so how can I be charming?"
Zhong Xiaoqin snickered and said: "If you don't have charm, you will be obsessed with Zhou Chen, a rich man?"
Gu Jia rolled her eyes and said, "Xiaoqin, I came to you because I wanted you to help me come up with ideas, not to make fun of me."
"What ideas can I give? In my opinion, this is a good thing. Zhou Chen can not belittle you when you are sleeping, which means he is a gentleman. In addition, he is handsome, rich, and has good family background.
It’s good, isn’t it much better than that scumbag Xu Huanshan?”
When Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Gu Jia's expression, she immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly diverted Xu Huanshan away.
"Anyway, in my opinion, apart from being a bit domineering, Zhou Chen is excellent in all aspects. If you want to be with him, I agree."
"There's just one problem."
"You're talking about Zi Yan, right?"
Before Zhong Xiaoqin could say anything, Gu Jia had already guessed it.
Zhong Xiaoqin nodded and said: "Well, Gu Gu, although you are divorced now, you are not alone after all. You still have Zi Yan. Are you sure that Zhou Chen is willing to accept Zi Yan? A big family like theirs should treat
Descendants of blood value him very much, Zi Yan is not his child, if in the future..."
Gu Jia's expression became uncertain, and she had also thought about this issue.
It was because what happened yesterday had changed her view of Zhou Chen that she considered it so much. In fact, she had never thought about getting into a new relationship before.
"Do you think I shouldn't agree to Zhou Chen?"
But Zhong Xiaoqin shook his head and said: "That's not what I mean. What I mean is that you can really have contact with him, and even bring Zi Yan to have contact with him. If he can be very good to you and Zi Yan, I think you
You can consider it.”
She was completely thinking about Gu Jia, because she knew it was not easy for Gu Jia to raise her son by herself, especially since Gu Jia was a very strong person and wanted the best for her son, which would undoubtedly make it harder for her.
She didn't want Gu Jia to work so hard, so she suggested that Gu Jia get in touch with Zhou Chen, because judging from the descriptions of Chen Yu and Gu Jia, Zhou Chen was obviously a very good person.
Zhong Xiaoqin's words made Gu Jia fall into deep thought.
After chatting about this heavy topic for a while, Gu Jia stopped talking about it and instead talked about other things.
"Gu Gu, have you seen the photos Manni posted in the group? I didn't expect her hometown to be so beautiful. It's completely different from the city."
Zhong Xiaoqin, Gu Jia and Wang Manni have a prestige group of their own. Even though Wang Manni has left the Magic City, they often chat in the group.
For example, Wang Manni often posts photos of her hometown in the group recently, which makes Zhong Xiaoqin, who is raising a baby at home, envious.
"Yes, it is indeed different from the city. It is different from the hustle and bustle of the city. I am still thinking that if I have time in the future, I can travel to those places."
"Yes, yes, I have this idea too, Gu Gu, how about we take some time to go and play with Manni together?"
"Okay, but that will have to wait until you unload the goods."
"What are you talking about unloading? It sounds so ugly."
