"How about it? Are you interested in cooperating with me? You are fully responsible for the overall planning and design of the resort. Are you competent?"
Ou Junyan said with a smile. Seeing the surprise on Hai Yao's face, the smile in his eyes became even stronger.
"Do it for me?"
Hai Yao couldn't believe it...
Such a big project is all handed over to her studio?
For such a big business, they should find a big-name design company to take charge of it, but Ou Junyan threatened to put her in charge. Haiyao suddenly felt like a pie had been dropped from the sky. It was so sudden and so lucky...
"I'm just a newly established studio, aren't you afraid that I won't do well?"
If the design is not good, it may affect the overall business of his resort in the future...
Ou Junyan smiled and nodded, "I am willing to believe in your strength."
"If you are interested, I will send you a fax when I get back to the company. You can review the overall requirements and then you can start preparations. In addition, I will arrange for someone to take you to the resort to have a look and understand the situation there."
Hai Yao heard what he meant, as if he would not come back.
She asked, "You...won't you come back?"
Ou Junyan raised his eyes to look at her, with the slightest hope in his eyes, "Do you want me to come back?"
Haiyao felt his burning eyes and the expectation in them. She looked away and smiled awkwardly, "If you come back, I think your parents will be very happy, and so will I."
Ou Junyan knew that she was deliberately avoiding his questions. He smiled, changed the subject, and talked to her about work. It felt like he was back when they were studying, discussing homework, or...
She listened to his analysis carefully...
Ou Junyan looked at her serious expression at this time, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart when he thought of all the events back then.
He originally thought that he might still have a chance...
At least she and Xu Yizhong have divorced, she is single, and his feelings for her have not diminished by half...
However, God loves to joke so much.
Just after giving him a glimmer of hope, he suddenly poured cold water on him, making him soberly return to reality.
Ou Junyan saw how well she and Gu Tingchuan got along, and the newly ignited hope dimmed a little bit...
As long as she is good, he will not interfere with her life.
He just wants to do his best to help her, hoping that she can live a better life...
Ou Junyan raised his hand to look at the time and said, "It's getting late, I should go."
Haiyao then remembered that he had to catch a plane.
Send him to the door and watch him leave.
"Junyan."
She called to him and waited for him to turn around, but she couldn't say a word.
I choked for a long time before I finally managed to say, "Be safe on the road. Thank you for what happened today."
He raised the corners of his mouth, and when he turned around, his smile turned bitter. After getting in the car, he looked at her figure in the rear mirror, and there was reluctance in his eyes.
Maybe, there are some people who really love you so much that you want to get them all your life, but God takes turns playing tricks on you, and you don't get what you want.
******
When Haiyao got off work, she saw Mu Yuehua standing at the door as soon as she walked out.
Mu Yuehua raised her eyes, revealing complicated emotions in her eyes.
Her charm is still there, which is like a mockery to Hai Yao.
This is the best proof of how much better she is living without their trolls...
If she were still here, she would have to face a husband who had a bleak future and loved gambling all the time, she would have to face a hard life, and she would have to face the pain of losing Xiaobei and the medical expenses of Nianwei.
That would be very different from her current life.
Haiyao looked away, pretending to be invisible, and walked past Mu Yuehua carrying her bag.
She would not accept such a heartless and unrighteous woman as a mother.
Seeing that she was ignoring her, Mu Yuehua quickly stepped forward and grabbed Hai Yao's arm, "Yao Yao."
Hearing this nickname, Haiyao felt her nose was sore and her eyes were hot.
She gritted her teeth and turned around to look at Mu Yuehua indifferently, "Did you admit the wrong person?"
Mu Yuehua's eyes were filled with water, "Yao Yao, last time my mother disowned you, it was because..."
"Because of what? Because you recognize me, will you be laughed at by the Gu family?"
Hai Yao shook her hand away hard, with a mean smile on her lips, "Actually, you did the right thing. You don't know me, and I don't know you. There is no relationship between us."
After that, he turned around and left.
"Yaoyao, does Tingchuan know?"
She paused and heard Mu Yuehua say again, "Have you ever thought that he might know your identity?"
Mu Yuehua stepped forward and grabbed Hai Yao's arm, "Do you know how much he hates me? He may have known your identity for a long time, so he married you."
"I understand that you have only known him for a short time. It is impossible for a man like him to marry anyone else. He only has Li Yuner in his heart."
"Yao Yao, mother knows him better than you do. He will do anything for revenge."
"Mom, I was sorry for you before, and I don't want you to be hurt by him because of me."
Hai Yao listened to her painful words and mocked, "Don't you want me to get hurt?"
"I'm afraid that in your heart, whether I am hurt or not is no longer important."
Thinking of everything she has experienced over the years, and thinking of Xiaobei's departure, Haiyao choked up and said, "Do we have any weight in your heart? If so, how could you leave us so cruelly, without even giving up the only money in the family?"
Let it go?"
Hai Yao tried her best to suppress her tears, "Maybe you will be disappointed. Gu Tingchuan has no idea who you and I are."
After finishing speaking, she walked around Mu Yuehua and left in a hurry.
"Yao Yao..."
"Yao Yao..."
"Yao..."
Mu Yuehua kept chasing after her, and Hai Yao kept speeding up. She stopped the taxi and got in. She hurriedly said to the driver, "Drive!"
Looking at Mu Yuehua's gradually blurring figure in the rear mirror of the car, the tears that could not be held back fell from Haiyao's eyes.
She stretched out her hand to wipe it away and bit her lips, not allowing herself to shed another tear for that woman...
Just like Xiaobei said, the moment she abandoned them, they also abandoned her. It was not worth leaving a tear for her.
Back home, Haiyao leaned on the sofa tiredly and remembered Mu Yuehua's words.
"Perhaps Gu Tingchuan has known your identity for a long time, so he married you. In his heart, there is only one woman like Li Yuner, and it is impossible for him to marry another woman. Yaoyao, my mother is afraid that he will marry you just for revenge..."
revenge?
Will he?
If so, did he already know her identity? Did he already know that she would face such an embarrassing situation?
However, during this period of time, he did not show any signs of it.
It's not like they already know her and Mu Yuehua's identities.
Haiyao was thinking about various possibilities, and suddenly felt a cold air coming from the soles of her feet, and the cold air hit her heartstrings.
If he had really known it for a long time, then how deep-seated was this man who doted on her all day long, who kept saying he wanted to live a good life with her?
Haiyao suddenly remembered something and went upstairs to dig out the photos in the box.
Among those photos, one is a family photo...
There is Mu Yuehua above.
Aunt Zhang went into her bedroom to clean and saw her packing the box. She walked up and said with a smile, "Are you looking at the photos? It's strange. Everything in your house has been burned down, but this box has not been burned. .”
Haiyao suddenly remembered something. Aunt Zhang had given this box to her.
At that time, she was still in pain and did not intervene.
"Aunt Zhang."
"Um?"
"Who gave this box to you at that time?"
"Tingchuan."
Hearing this, Hai Yao's heart skipped a beat, "Did he give it to you?"
"Then...has he ever seen the contents of the box?"
Aunt Zhang didn't know what was in the box. She only remembered that Gu Tingchuan seemed to be sitting aside and opened the box...
"I think I've seen it before."
As soon as he said these words, Hai Yao's face instantly turned pale and her heart sank to the bottom of her heart.
That kind of speculation took over her heart little by little.
Aunt Zhang saw that her face was not very good, and asked with concern, "Hey, why do you look so ugly? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Hai Yao shook her head and heard herself say, "It's okay."
Aunt Zhang went downstairs with some doubts and saw Gu Tingchuan coming back. She said kindly, "Haiyao may be feeling unwell and her face is not good. I asked her but she didn't say anything. Please go up and take a look."
Gu Tingchuan held his suit jacket in his hand, changed his shoes, and said, "Okay, I'll go now."
"Oh, by the way, she just asked me if you gave me that box."
"It's the box you asked me to give her last time."
Gu Tingchuan frowned, "Did you say that?"
"Tell me, why are you two so weird? Your expressions change when you mention the box."
Aunt Zhang felt very strange...
Gu Tingchuan's heart was in a mess at this time.
He forgot to tell Aunt Zhang at that time, and if she asked, he would not say anything...
His heart was grasped tightly by invisible hands. He originally wanted to never mention it, pretend that they didn't know what they were doing, and just be with her...
Unexpectedly, things would still be revealed.
Gu Tingchuan knew that she must have guessed something.
He walked upstairs step by step and reached the door, but suddenly he didn't have the courage to go in.
After thinking for a moment, he opened the door.
As soon as I walked in, I saw her sitting on the sofa with a dull expression.
He walked over and wanted to sit next to her, but Hai Yao said coldly, "Don't come near me."
She doesn't know how deep a person's scheming is.
Only today did she truly appreciate his superb acting skills...
Even higher than Xu Yizhong.
At least when Xu Yizhong lied to her, he didn't spend so much time on her, and he didn't take the initiative to compromise again and again...
She thought that he really valued marriage, so he wanted to live a good life with her.
Originally, it was not that simple at all.
He may have planned everything early, and when she was unaware, when she was sad, he took advantage of the situation, manipulated her, and used her to take revenge on Mu Yuehua...
Hai Yao raised her eyes to look at him, put the box on the coffee table, and asked in a trembling voice, "Have you seen this?"
Gu Tingchuan naturally knew that she already knew everything...
He sighed and didn't respond. Instead, he sat down, took out the cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath.
Seeing his silence, Hai Yao raised a bitter smile on her lips, "Gu Tingchuan, you already knew that, right?"
"Knowing my relationship with Mu Yuehua, it was your father's birthday when Mu Yuehua came back that day, so you took me back specifically to piss them off, right?"
This is what he was thinking...
She thought that cynicism was just an act of his. If he was serious about being nice to someone, he could be infinitely nice to him.
Who knew that if he was serious about being nice to someone, he would just treat her like a fool and use it for revenge...
She suddenly remembered everything...
Various images of the past two months appeared in her mind...
She saw Xu Yizhong and Caring's photos on his coffee table. Did he deliberately ask her to get his laptop?
Let her see it on purpose?
So, what about that time she drank from the wine glass he handed her and got drunk and had sex with him?
Suddenly, I remembered what he said that night, "When making certain decisions, I have this habit of turning over the cards. If I turn over the cards, I just do it."
"If you can't turn it over, just turn it over until you can."
The cards that night were turned over in one go.
Later, she gradually became drunk and even felt that her body was inexplicably hot...
Hai Yao's heart went cold when she thought of this.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and he choked up and said, "Gu Tingchuan, have you known that I am Mu Yuehua's daughter for a long time, so you have already laid out the plan and decided to marry me?"
He was not responsible for her first time at all...
Even if it's not her first time, he will marry her.
Because that's his decision...
My heart feels like a needle pricking me, numb and painful...
"Tell me, is there something wrong with that glass of wine?"
Her voice was hoarse and her heart was trembling.
Unexpectedly, she was set up by him as early as two months ago...
He was even so despicable, drugging her when she was the saddest, when she was the saddest...
Gu Tingchuan looked at her, with complicated eyes in his dark eyes. He put the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray and said in a deep voice, "Since you already know..."
Snapped……
Before she finished speaking, Hai Yao could no longer restrain herself and slapped her hard.
Her hands are shaking...
My fingertips were numb from exerting too much force.
And the heart is crying silently.
Gu Tingchuan looked at her complicatedly, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and he stretched out his hand to grab her, but she stepped back and said tremblingly, "Gu Tingchuan, you are so despicable, you drugged me?"
Afterwards, she had doubts about why she had fallen in love...
Why can't I resist?
I see……
It turns out the truth is so hurtful.
Tears couldn't be restrained and fell from the corners of his eyes, "Then you've been nice to me for two months, all for revenge?"
"Haiyao, I am serious about being nice to you."
He is taking revenge...
At the same time, he also hopes to treat her well so that she will never be able to leave him...
Even if one day in the future, she knows all the truth, she will not leave him.
Hearing this, Hai Yao smiled bitterly, "Are you serious? How should I believe you? Just to get revenge on Mu Yuehua, you did not hesitate to set so many traps to let me marry you. Do you dare to say that you hug me every day?
Didn't I ever think about revenge?"
"Yes! I am using you to take revenge on Mu Yuehua. By marrying you, she will never be able to replace my mother's position. She will never even think about it in her lifetime!!"
Gu Tingchuan's eyes glowed with a sinister light, "As long as she marries you, as your mother, she is not legally qualified to enter the Gu family! ="
"She did so many bad things and killed my mother just so she could take my mother's place, so I let her own daughter ruin her dream!!"
Haiyao raised her lips in pain, "So this is the real purpose of marrying me."
Two clear tears fell down her face. Haiyao lowered her eyes and immediately walked into the closet to pack her things and leave.
She doesn't want to be with him. The sweet words he says to her every day are all lies!
Seeing her packing her things, Gu Tingchuan stepped forward and held her arm, grabbing the clothes in her hand, "Calm down, I'm not marrying you just to get revenge on Mu Yuehua."
"Let me go..."
