Gu Beicheng still looked calm, but when he looked back, a dark light seemed to flash in his eyes.
"Xiaoxiao, they are a legal couple, what right do you have to stop him?"
"But...but he is not sincere to the eldest lady. He only wants the eldest lady's money and status!" Chen Xiaoxiao retorted unconvinced.
"Xiaoxiao!" Gu Beicheng emphasized his tone: "It doesn't matter what his purpose is. What matters is Bingyan's attitude towards him."
"What's more, if he just likes money, there's nothing to worry about. I'm afraid he wants more than just money."
Chen Xiaoxiao's face collapsed.
She originally wanted to ask Xu Tian what he wanted without money. Could it be that he really wanted the eldest lady's life?
But she recalled that Tang Bingyan almost died in a car accident because of Xu Tian, so it was not impossible.
This is too scumbag!
The eldest daughter of her family is the queen of the imperial capital's business community and the most beautiful woman in China, but she is married to Xu Tian, a man with no abilities who only eats soft rice.
This was already a big disadvantage, and it would be unjust to let that scumbag take advantage of me again!
Xu Tian was so vicious that she cursed him to never be reincarnated even if he died.
Chen Xiaoxiao was so angry that she was staring at Xu Tian's hand around Tang Bingyan's waist, wishing she could just rush up and chop him into pieces.
"Xiaoxiao, you are still too restless."
Gu Beicheng turned around and walked towards the backyard: "Didn't you say you want me to teach you archery? Just now."
Chen Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Beicheng's back, stamped her feet unwillingly, and finally chased him away.
I really don’t know what Mr. Gu is thinking. You shouldn’t give the scumbag Xu a chance to be alone with the eldest lady now!
…
After dinner, Xu Tian and Tang Bingyan returned to the bedroom. Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Gu Beicheng walked in from outside holding a folder.
"Bingyan, I have something to discuss with you. Can you come to the study?"
"It's the same thing here." Tang Bingyan sat on the sofa and didn't move.
Xu Tian originally planned to avoid it, but then he thought that this was their bedroom. There was no reason for him, the real husband, to go out and let Gu Beicheng be alone in the same room with his wife.
In addition, Tang Bingyan had never had the habit of discussing company secrets with her subordinates behind his back in her previous life, and she would not let him avoid it no matter what she did, so Xu Tian sat on the sofa on the other side and read a financial magazine with peace of mind.
Gu Beicheng glanced at Xu Tian and hesitated to speak. In the end, he said nothing and went straight to Tang Bingyan to report to him.
In terms of official affairs, Gu Beicheng has always been professional.
Xu Tian did not listen intentionally and continued to read the magazine in front of him.
But I don't know if it was because he was too tired in the past two days or because Gu Beicheng's voice was too hypnotic. Xu Tian held the magazine and his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally he fell asleep while sitting on the sofa.
"Bingyan, I think we should..." Gu Beicheng was discussing with Tang Bingyan a big project next spring.
"Shh..." Tang Bingyan suddenly raised her index finger.
Gu Beicheng closed his mouth in surprise and followed Tang Bingyan's gaze to find Xu Tian who had already met Duke Zhou at night.
"Let's talk about the project tomorrow." Tang Bingyan got up and went to the cabinet to get a blanket, then walked softly to Xu Tian and covered him up.
Her behavior finally caused a crack in Gu Beicheng's perfect expression.
"Bingyan, this project is beneficial to Down syndrome..."
"I know it well." Tang Bingyan's words revealed a hint of impatience.
"Then I'll go back first." Gu Beicheng lowered his eyes slightly, and when he raised his head, his expression returned to normal.
He quickly packed up the documents spread out on the coffee table, then turned around and left with the documents.
Xu Tian vaguely heard the sound of Gu Beicheng closing the door in his sleep. Although his eyelids were heavy, he still tried to open his eyes.
"Honey, are you done talking?"
"Be careful of catching a cold, go to bed and sleep." Tang Bingyan stretched out her hand to Xu Tian, trying to pull him up.
But Xu Tian hadn't woken up yet, so he reached out his hand in a daze and instinctively moved towards his arms, directly pulling the unsuspecting Tang Bingyan into his arms.
"Well..." Although Tang Bingyan was very light, unfortunately when she fell, she pressed on important parts of Xu Tian's lower body.
This time, Xu Tian was completely awake.
Tang Bingyan didn't seem to expect that Xu Tian would suddenly exert force, and she lay on top of him a little at a loss.
"Honey, isn't it inconvenient these days? Why do you still throw yourself into my arms?"
Xu Tian chuckled lightly, and while standing up, he put his arms around Tang Bingyan's waist and hugged her sideways.
Tang Bingyan's body froze for a moment.
The next moment, a hint of sullenness appeared on her cold face: "Put me down."
During this period, although Xu Tian also hugged her a little, this was the first time they were so close, which made Tang Bingyan a little at a loss.
She has long been used to Xu Tian being cold-hearted to her, and now this considerate and enthusiastic person makes her always feel like she is in a dream.
"Don't let go." Xu Tian held Tang Bingyan domineeringly and came to the bedside. After putting her down, he also lay on it. He didn't know whether he said to Tang Bingyan or to himself: "I will never let you go again in this life.
"
…
After Gu Beicheng went downstairs, he saw Chen Xiaoxiao who was pacing angrily.
Chen Xiaoxiao was still scolding the scumbag, but when she saw Gu Beicheng, she asked in surprise:
"Mr. Gu, aren't you talking about business with the eldest lady and you can settle it so quickly?"
Gu Beicheng paused and shook his head in embarrassment.
"We haven't finished talking yet. Bingyan has other things to do, so I'll go back today."
The Gu family's villa is opposite the Tang family. Gu Beicheng has always been very measured and never stays overnight at the Tang family.
"Other things? Is there anything more important than that project? Those old guys from the Tang family have always been evil. If they don't die as soon as possible..."
Chen Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something and asked quickly.
"Isn't it Xu Tian who wants to pester the eldest lady again?"
As she said that, she took a look at Gu Beicheng's face and immediately made up her mind:
"This soft-hearted man is too ignorant!"
"Mr. Gu, Xu Tian must not be kept here. Every time the eldest lady meets him, it is as if she has lost her mind..."
"Chen Xiaoxiao!" Gu Beicheng suddenly frowned and interrupted: "You are the old man next to Bingyan. You should know what to say and what not to say."
"But letting Xu Tian stay with the eldest lady will only harm the eldest lady!" Chen Xiaoxiao argued anxiously.
"Bingyan is not the kind of person who is obsessed with the personal affairs of her children and ignores the overall situation." Gu Beicheng said seriously: "Although this project is important, she has already made a decision in her heart, and the discussion tomorrow will be the same."
"She is the most decisive woman I have ever seen. She can tolerate Xu Tian, but Xu Tian has not yet touched her bottom line."
"No one can influence her on matters involving fundamental interests, not even Xu Tian."
