A cold wind blew, and the stars swayed in the cold sky, as if they were shivering from the cold.
After getting off work, Qiao Ran drove to the TMP private club on the outskirts of Beijing. This is a little-known high-end club in Beijing. The food inside is excellent. The most important thing is that it is located in a remote place and the environment is quiet.
The upper class people are most willing to come here to enjoy the beautiful moonlit night and starlight.
Qiao Ran called Aunt Wang on the way and asked Aunt Wang to stay at the Blue Ocean Apartment tonight and take care of An An.
She estimated that she would be late when she returned, so she had to make arrangements in advance.
After driving for nearly an hour, she arrived at the TMP club, which looked like one spire after another.
Each spire-shaped building is an independent box.
She walked through the vast French garden and came to the box named "Frost Descent" that Gu Qingyan sent her.
Gently opening the door, Gu Qingyan was already there.
He was sitting by the window, looking out at the dark night, his melancholy expression adding a touch of indifference to his clean and elegant handsome face.
He seemed to be reminiscing about something, lost in thought, and the lingering sadness between his brows made one couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.
Qiao Ran approached him, but he didn't even notice, he was just in a daze.
Until Qiao Ran sat down opposite him and made a gentle "cough" gesture.
Gu Qingyan suddenly came back to his senses.
"Hello, President Gu." Qiao Ran smiled lightly.
"Oh, you're here." Gu Qingyan was noncommittal and pointed to the exquisite plates in front of him, which were all appetizers and snacks. "I asked them to serve them now. Thank you, Mr. Qiao, for having dinner with us."
After that, he pressed the call bell and said, "The food is ready to be served."
"President Gu, eating is not the main thing. You know why I came." Qiao Ran's face darkened.
"Oh?" Gu Qingyan raised the corners of his lips, "I don't know, why are you here?"
"President Gu, do you want to cooperate with Yu Chengxian? Why?"
She shook her head subconsciously, with a trace of worry on her face, "Do you understand what Yu Chengxian is like? Why does Yu Chengxian need money? Have you ever thought about it? What are the consequences of your investment in Yu Chengxian? Do you have
Have you thought about it?"
"Mr. Qiao is so interesting. You want to run the warlord's business for long-term stability." Gu Qingyan sat upright slightly, "Why can't I do it?"
"It's different." Qiao Ran was speechless for a moment and sighed.
"I am making money from him, and I have no risk. You are giving him money, but you are at risk. How can it be the same?"
"Mr. Qiao, are you worried about me?" Gu Qingyan found it a little funny, "You and I have only met for the third time. Mr. Qiao, what kind of mentality do you have to worry about me?"
"Or." He paused and raised his handsome eyebrows, "Are you afraid that my cooperation with Yu Chengxian will affect Zuo Chenye in the future? Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Yu Chengxian and Zuo Chenye only cooperated for a short period of time.
Helpless. In the long run, the relationship between the two of them will inevitably collapse. If it were not for the intersection of land, just the old incident of my wife An Yunxi would be enough to make the two of them fall out."
He casually took a sip of the tea in front of him.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Yu Chengxian will deal with Zuo Chenye sooner or later, so he is naturally my friend. I can help Yu Chengxian and make him more powerful, so why not?"
The more Qiao Ran listened, the tighter her eyebrows furrowed.
She clarified, "President Gu, you have misunderstood. I couldn't think of it that far. I don't even know about the feud between you, as well as the relationship between Yu Chengxian and Zuo Chenye. I'm just simply thinking about your character.
, I’m not the same person as Yu Chengxian. I’m not suitable, that’s all.”
"Haha. It sounds like Mr. Qiao knows me very well." Gu Qingyan sneered.
Qiao Ran was startled.
How could she not understand him? She knew him well, she had been with him in her youthful years and tender memories. She had gone through laughter, through pain, through glory, and through troughs.
She looked at him with bright eyes, "Has Mr. Gu ever experienced anything? From you, I can sense an unusual past. Why do you insist on targeting Young Master Zuo?"
Gu Qingyan sneered, "Is the hatred for killing my wife considered a blood feud?"
As if he had touched Ni Lin, he suddenly crushed the thin porcelain tea cup in his hand, and the green tea spilled all over the table. There was a strong black aura of resentment all over his body, and the violence was so heavy that it seemed to destroy everything around him.
Devour.
This was the second time Qiao Ran heard Gu Qingyan mention "the hatred of killing his wife".
She quickly stood up and wiped the tea in front of him with a napkin.
"The deceased has passed away. If the person that President Gu misses in his heart knew you were like this, do you think she would be willing to see it?" Qiao Ran raised her eyes and looked at him sincerely.
At that moment, Gu Qingyan's eyes were in a trance.
With such a tone and expression, it was as if Qiao Ran, whom he had been thinking about day and night, was right in front of him.
Yes, if Qiao Ran was still here, I definitely wouldn't want to see him become like this.
But, she is no longer here.
What should he do? He can only live in hell.
His sexy thin lips were slightly opened, closed, and then opened again.
Like, like, ZORA. Qiao gave him the feeling that he really looked like Qiao Ran.
In a daze, he almost wanted to call out Qiao Ran's name, but in the end, he held back.
Different appearance, different voice, not her, not the her he thought about day and night.
He pushed her away violently.
He must not be bewitched by her. Zuo Chenye was ambiguous with her and definitely regarded her as Qiao Ran's substitute. He would not look for a substitute. From beginning to end, he only loved Qiao Ran and he would never change it in this life.
"Mr. Qiao, don't mind what you shouldn't mind." His clear eyes instantly returned to coldness.
Qiao Ran was pushed back by his push and fell onto the seat.
She bit her lip awkwardly.
"President Gu, you can't always live in the past. Just forget it. Wouldn't it be better to start over?"
"No." Gu Qingyan refused coldly, "Don't persuade others to be good without their suffering."
Without hatred, he cannot live.
Qiao Ran looked at the stubborn Gu Qingyan in front of him and couldn't say a word.
She even had the urge to tell him that she was not dead.
However, the time has not yet come and she cannot do this.
She secretly thought in her heart that she must settle her affairs in the capital as soon as possible, and then tell Gu Qingyan the truth and bring him back to the right path. She cannot continue like this.
Being with Yu Chengxian, this is no longer the Gu Qingyan she knew.
"President Gu..." Qiao Ran wanted to say something more.
