Die-hard struggle

  (54) Die-hard struggle

  Gu Shanshan's eyes flickered for a moment, her voice slightly softer as she interrogated her: Was it you who let Qi Da Shaoye destroy the Gu family?

  Gu Shallow Cong's face was calm: What's wrong with that? Every single person in the Gu family is not pleasing to my eyes, so I just want to see the Gu family collapse.

  Gu Shallow's face turned white with anger, gritting her teeth: So you sold yourself to Season Young Master? Do you think he really likes you? Don't dream, you're just his plaything. He doesn't want to marry you, and those videos and your other ugly affairs were all exposed online by him. Do you really think you're worth something?

  I'm not worth much, but I'm worth a family's price tag, don't you think that's enough? She sneered, intentionally piercing his heart; those things I all knew, so what? He doesn't like me anymore, yet he's willing to give me an outlet for my anger by pushing you guys to the edge. And giving me a rich material life, you've seen all of this. You have such backbone, in the future don't ever go sell yourself, otherwise it'll make me laugh out loud.

  She had thought of those things long ago, but she wasn't really Gu Shuangning. Looking at the world's various appearances again, the emotions of the wealthy families were thin, but she couldn't feel the same way as the real Gu Shuangning, and the pain was unbearable.

  Humans have different survival rules, and the struggle for power is one of them. Ji Jiangying just did what a strong person should do. She didn't like him, but she couldn't say she despised him; it's shameful for a man to become weak and be torn apart by others.

  "Gu Shallow this silly girl's ignorance really makes Gu Shallow Cong sweat. Tell the housekeeper: Send her out, and don't let her in again in the future."

  She turned and went upstairs, Gu Qianqian naturally didn't want to let things go easily. She never thought that Gu Qianniang would be so calm after hearing the truth. Before she could say anything else, she was already being dragged out by the servants.

  Gu Shallow Cong just thought that the Gu family had an elder daughter who was also married into a wealthy family and lived a rich life, so she should support the Gu family.

  Gu Shanshan was extremely unlucky. After she came out, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to ask the taxi driver to wait for her. Now it's all messed up, can't hail a cab, and has to walk down the mountain.

  My legs were so tired from walking, I gave Anzi a call.

  Little sister, can you send a car to pick me up? I'm at Ji Dashi's villa on the mountain and can't hail a taxi.

  Anzi was surprised: Ah, where did you go? Went to find Gu Qian Ning, what did she say?

  She said she knew those were done by Ji Da Shao, but she seemed to care less, enjoying her current life to the fullest, what a shameless thing!

  Anzi hung up the phone and parted ways with Gu Qianqian, then came to Ji Jiangran's place. So he also heard very clearly, his lips tightened instantly, and his eyes seemed to freeze into tiny ice crystals.

  When Lin Yanran received the call from Ji Jiangyan, her heart almost jumped out. Unexpectedly, a strange number, with a low and polite voice: Hello Miss Lin, I'm Ji Jiangyan. Do you have time? If it's convenient, let's have dinner together.

  What's going on? Lin Yanran almost blurted out.

  That low and gentle voice said: It's me, I'm really sorry for calling you out of the blue.

  In the end, I still agreed to go on his date.

  Before going out, she deliberately made up carefully and looked in the mirror for a long time until she was satisfied. Only then did she pick up her bag and go out. Ji Jiangran was already waiting downstairs, and when he saw her come out, he got off the car with elegance and personally opened the door for her.

  Lin Yanran's face had already turned red.

  Thank you.

  Ji Jiang smiled slightly and got on the car, asking her: "How was your Western meal?"

  Lin Yanran said: Okay.

  High-end Western restaurant, elegant atmosphere, soft lighting, with a live violin performance.

  Ji Jiangran ordered a bottle of 1982 red wine and simply said: drink as much as you can, no need to force it.

  Lin Yanran didn't expect him to be so meticulous and thoughtful, with subtle details revealing great elegance.

  Ji Jiangran drank a lot, almost didn't eat anything, and mostly watched her eat. He swayed the cup in his hand and finished that bottle of wine.

  It was windy when they came out, and the winter night was already very cold. Lin Yiran's long hair was blown up by the wind, and before she could tidy it up, Ji Jiangyan's slender fingers had already reached out to help her tuck the hair on both sides of her face behind her ears.

  Lin Yanran was stunned for a moment, and Ji Jiangyan's slightly cool fingertips accidentally brushed against her face. The sensation was obvious, and she suddenly raised her eyes to look at him.

  Ji Jiang Ran was also looking at her, his eyes slightly narrowed, his eyelashes very long, under the neon lights there was a layer of fine halo, making this man look even more handsome.

  He leaned down, and Lin Yanran subconsciously closed her eyes. His lips brushed against her earlobe with a light kiss, and finally he just held her in his arms, one hand passing through her long hair to loosely encircle her neck.

  Ji Jiang seemed a bit down tonight, and wrapped her arms around him, saying: I'm allergic to women's makeup.

  So he refused to kiss her on the mouth.

  Lin Yanran sank into his arms, blushing so much that she couldn't speak.

  Jiang Ran sent her back again, just like last time, only sending her to the downstairs. After watching her go upstairs, he leaned against the car and smoked a cigarette before leaving.

  Ji Jiangying returned earlier than expected.

  Gu Shallow Cong came down from upstairs in the early morning and saw a person standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with a white shirt pulled out of his belt, staring outside while smoking.

  The morning light poured down, with delicate shadows covering his body like a dove's wings. Hearing her footsteps downstairs, he extinguished the cigarette in his hand and turned around.

  Come and sit down.

  There was no one else in the room, he crossed his legs and sat down on the sofa with a relaxed air.

  Gu Shallow Cong knew he was back at headquarters and must have been a matter of importance to discuss with her, sitting upright there looking at him.

  As expected, Ji Jiangying said: I've seen your instructor and told her about you, but she still doesn't completely believe it. It's easy to imagine what the others think. So we'll need some more time, I think this period of time is needed to arrange a position for you, so that you have a reasonable existence.

  The team members of 1513 are the most elite talents who have narrowly escaped death. In addition to being proficient in several languages, they have accurate sniping skills and high academic qualifications, making them perfectly capable of performing many tasks.

  I happen to be short of a secretary, so you can do it for now. Otherwise, if this goes on for long, others will think you're my mistress, and I'm sure you wouldn't want that.

  Gu Shallow pursed her lips: I obey the arrangement. She indeed needed an identity to cover up, and Ji Jiangying's concerns were not excessive.

  I will move out and live on my own by renting a house.

  Ji Jiangying glanced at her: That's right, it's too far from the company and will be inconvenient.

  Gu Shallow Condensation quickly handled the entry procedures, and the position was Qi Jiangying's personal secretary, An Zifen used to be this job.

  An Zi heard the news and was shocked, her heart skipped a beat. A wave of anxiety surged up to her throat. Not only she, but also the company's internal was stirred up. To say nothing of Ji Jiangying and Gu Qianqin's awkward relationship, it's even more questionable whether Gu Qianqin has the ability to take on the role.

  People with insight would say; being good-looking is also a skill, how can we possibly compare.

  Yes, indeed a sleeping beauty, men can't help but like her.

  Anzi stood outside the tea room, listening clearly, and felt even more distressed and indignant. She took the elevator directly to the 53rd floor, and after a "ding" sound, Gu Qianying indeed appeared in her line of sight. Seeing it was her, she asked calmly: Are you here to find CEO Ji?

  She was wearing a white fitted suit, and the hall was quiet, with only Anzi's low, gentle laughter.

  Ji Jiang changed his clothes and came down to eat.

  Anzi has already lit the candles, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere. The 1986 Lafite is on the table, it's been a long time since they've had dinner together like this.

  As she gazed at the candlelight, Anzi's heart felt a sense of pride and pleasure seeing Ji Jiangying's handsome face. Even if Ji Jiangying and Gu Qianqian really had something going on, it was just something that couldn't be seen in public. If word got out, Gu Qianqian would only be ridiculed as a mistress, not worthy of being in polite society. The one who could accompany Ji Jiangying till old age was her alone.

  Moreover, even such a shameful day would not be owned by Gu Shangning for too long.

  Clinking glasses with him, the first gentle smile in days, was indeed heartfelt.

  Ji Jiang's face softened slightly; when are you planning to go back to work? The company will collapse without you.

  Anzi burst out laughing.

  Who talks about their own company like this?

  Ji Jiang said calmly: In a company, no one is irreplaceable.

  He must be lying, Anzi analyzed it in his heart. Such a calm man, the most important thing in life, women are absolutely not considered at all.

  But he was willing to coax her like this, and she was already very happy. It's not always that way.

  I'm going back to work tomorrow, these days staying at home is more tiring, my bones are almost falling apart.

  Anzi is normally going to work, smiling and greeting company employees. As soon as she comes in, she has a spring breeze on her face, with the demeanor of a lady boss.

  That confident and determined spirit has emerged again, just like Anzi used to be, as if no one can defeat him.

  Finished all the work accumulated over several days in just one day, stretched and felt tired, went to the pantry to get a drink.

  There are always female colleagues who can't help but gossip, and this kind of fun is always everywhere.

  You said Manager An doesn't know what others say about General Ji and Gu Qianying? Otherwise, how can he still come to work as if nothing's wrong?

  Another ridiculous thing: How could it be spread so widely and yet not know? What is Manager An's background? With good upbringing, she must have been certain, how could she make a fuss like a shrew, that would also make Director Ji lose face.

  It's also true that Director An is a legitimate wife, while the mistress will eventually be abandoned. Director An is a clever person...

  Anzi coughed outside the door and walked in with a raised corner of his mouth.

  The two people who spoke earlier changed color and greeted her with an awkward face.

  Manager An is good. Then slipped away.

  Anzi felt a little relieved in her heart, and even the onlookers would see through the city. Someone like Gu Shangning, that kind of worthless and promiscuous woman, would definitely end up with a miserable outcome.

  Ji Jiangran is not an idle person, but he has time to wander around everywhere.

  Gu Shallow Cong only heard a crisp sound of "ding" from the elevator door, got up and walked over to welcome him, just saw Ji Jiangran walking out from inside.

  A careless smile, peach blossom eyes slightly curved, a pair of evil eyes as if radiant. A black suit, perfectly tailored. Seeing a different Gu Shallow Condensation, the western pants outlined her waist and legs in a really good look, and further up, under the fitted small suit was a pure white silk shirt, supporting those two soft and stylish, making him unable to help but whistle.

  Come over here, he slanted his eyes at her and said in a low voice: "Fasten your second button, it's about to pop open."

  Gu Shallow Cong stared at him with her eyes, not hearing the front desk say he was coming up, it seemed that he had already made contact with Ji Jiangying. After all, this is the second young master of the Ji family, no matter how broken the relationship is on the surface, he is still his younger brother.

  Ji Jiangran himself pushed open the door and lazily called out: "Ge". He sat down on the sofa with his legs propped up.

  Going to work is so unenthusiastic.

  Ji Jiangying raised her head from behind her desk, her fingers naturally intertwined: What's the point of going to work if you don't have the energy?

  He didn't like doing many things since he was young, and when he was in school, he always complained that studying had no interest. He generously gave her enough face. What was lost before has been regained several times over.

  More and more classmates call her to play together. As long as Gu Shanshan appears, Duan Cun will always appear in time to pay the bill, taking care of everything.

  In Gu Shanshan's eyes, Duan Cun was like Aladdin's magic lamp, able to satisfy all her desires and vanity.

  If one's family background isn't good enough, marrying a rich man is also a great advantage. Gu Shanshan thought that although the Gu family had declined, her fate was still pretty good, heaven had sent such a perfect and loving person to care for her.

  Gu Shallow Cong once bumped into them on the main street, when she was driving her red Mini Cooper past, and saw Gu Shallow leaning against Duan Cun's chest laughing with a radiant smile.

  Couldn't help but take another glance in the mirror, didn't expect Gu Shanshan to be so eager to fall.

  That's a completely brainless young lady, who has been arrogant since childhood, but doesn't know the dangers of the world. She is also used to indulging in pleasure and can't bear any hardship, fearing that she won't even know how she'll die in the end.

  When she arrived at the restaurant, Ji Jiangran had already ordered and was sitting there waiting for her.

  She likes to eat what, drink what brand of wine he is all familiar with. He even said slyly: Even the sensitive area on your body I am very clear about, I know how to make you feel most comfortable.

  Such a close relationship has become like strangers today, no wonder Qī èr Shǎo's heart is not feeling well.

  So he would go to find her from time to time, frequently appearing in front of her, and the living room was as warm as a hunting ground that had not been obtained. The bed was especially large, and it was soft and comfortable when sat on. The luxurious degree was not like a guest room at all, and the house she rented was already very good, but it was more stylish than her master bedroom.

  Ready to take a bath and sleep, just took off sweater, only wearing a vest when the door suddenly opened.

  Gu Shallowing turned her head to take a look, Ji Jiangran had one hand in the pocket of his suit pants and was carrying a white shirt as he came in. He glanced at her casually, although she didn't shrink back onto the bed like other women would, there was still a hint of awkwardness and embarrassment. He tossed the shirt onto the bed.

  When wearing pajamas.

  His shirts were all worth tens of thousands of yuan each. Gu Shallow Cong stood there with her back straight, not looking at him: "Thank you, no need."

  Ji Jiangran didn't say anything and turned around to leave, but instead walked over.

  Is this being overly sentimental? You used to wear fewer of my clothes before, didn't you? Come closer and lift your hand to help her undo the hidden buttons on her camisole. The tip of his finger was slightly cool as it touched her smooth skin.

  Gu Shallow didn't expect him to have this move, her blouse slipped down, and she immediately reached out to press it back.

  Ji Jiang's gaze swept over, whistling with a lazy and careless air.

  How come it doesn't seem to grow at all? You women don't grow after you're an adult, right?

  Gu Shallow Cong stared at him fiercely: Are you Curious Baby? What did you do during the student physical education back then?

  Ji Jiangran smiled: When we were in school, the teacher didn't even teach us about women. With a sly smile, he walked out slowly and said: In the future, when feeding children, who knows if they will be full or not.

  Gu Shallow Cong was late for work and originally had a meeting in the morning but didn't make it back in time to attend.

  Her mini car was buried in the deep snow, originally intended to block Ji Jiangran's car from returning to the city.

  But he worked in his study room until very late last night and didn't want to get up this morning.

  With a heavy sleepiness, he mumbled: "It's snowing so heavily outside, the car can't get out, don't bother me, let me sleep for a while." He buried his head back into the pillow and after a long time said: "If you can't sleep, go make breakfast for me."

  Gu Shallow Cong also had to face the reality, the snow was too big, the road was not cleared, and it was impossible to get out.

  She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out at the vast expanse of white outside, a silver wrapping that was the biggest snowfall since winter began. She was lost in thought, so she didn't notice when Ji Jiangran walked over.

  He wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. Fresh out of the bath, he was crisp and clean, but his voice was languid.

  What's for breakfast?

  Gu Shallow pulled open his arm and turned around, Ji Jiangran wore a beige home service uniform, looking neat and comfortable, with a hint of gentleness hidden between his eyebrows.

  I knew I couldn't count on a heartless woman like you. He turned around and went to the kitchen, saying casually: I've already called Ji Jiangying and helped you ask for leave.

  Gu Shallow condensed for a moment.

  She raised her eyes to look at him, with a sense of vigilance in her heart, but couldn't quite put into words.
