Spring Breeze No. 1 (037) Sudden Change in Wind and Clouds

  Jian Bai heard the noise and was somewhat worried: "Will they really fight? If Ruyu doesn't behave herself, after all, they're about to get married, it's not good to make a scene like this. I'll go take a look."

  Until she came out, Yan Ruyu controlled her emotions a little and didn't dare to be too high-profile, for fear that Ji Jiangran would tell about the matter. In the end, she was sent back to the Yan family by the Ji family's car and hid in her room, refusing to come out.

  The mental pressure has been huge, and every day is spent in a state of anxiety. From the moment I moved into the Ji residence to now, I haven't had a single good night's sleep. Every night, I wake up with a start, worried that Ji Jiangyan is sleeping in Gu Shangning's room.

  Thinking of how to scheme against her, deal with her, but not only did she fail every time, in the end she was even counterattacked by her. That kind of mental torture once made her lose her sanity, having a disordered feeling.

  The wedding is just around the corner, and it's hard to get into the mood after something like this happens. She doesn't even want to eat, spending most of her time locked in her room, closing her eyes only to recall the scenes from the photos. What's the difference between those things and letting Ji Jiangyan witness the scene? I didn't expect Gu Shangning to deal with her in such a ruthless manner.

  What terrified her even more were those recordings, still in Ji Jiang Ruo's hands, which posed a fatal threat to her.

  Wedding matters are already complicated, and as a wealthy family, there are many things to prepare.

  The wedding dress had been tried on long ago, but when I took it back to try it on again, I found that it was loose. These days, Yuran has hardly eaten anything and her weight has plummeted, so even the wedding dress and evening gown no longer fit. We had to take them to the store for alterations, with only two days left before the wedding, this time they fit perfectly, but the timing is very rushed.

  Mrs. Yan exclaimed: "It's really going to cost lives, it's so thin, how did you get it?" She was a southerner who had been married in the north for many years and still spoke softly.

  Yan Ruyu didn't say a word, turned around and silently went upstairs. She still hadn't figured out how to face Ji Jiangran, after all he was different from other men, and she was afraid that they wouldn't be able to get along in the future.

  Losing him is now impossible, as the company has acquired shares from the Ji family, and the two will be getting married in two days. But Yan Ruyi worries about what's behind...

  The most proud thing is that An Jia successfully convened the shareholders' meeting, and after the vote, An Tong took over as the president of Hua Yu, becoming the largest shareholder. Gu Lao Ye Zi served as executive director, with much less actual power than before, making An Jia's years of behind-the-scenes operations and gradual small-share buyouts worthwhile.

  The news spread quickly, and it was only a matter of time before it reached Ji Jiangying's ears. In fact, Hua Yu had already sensed the wind blowing and grass moving when he first heard the rumors, and it was impossible for him to remain calm, as this industry was extremely important to him.

  Anzi actually had some worries and called back from Korea.

  "Dad, I've been thinking about this for a while. Jiang Ying and Gu Qian Ning's wedding is just around the corner. Even if we become the largest shareholder of Huayu and grasp its lifeline, public opinion can be deadly. How could Jiang Ying possibly abandon Gu Qian Ning and join our family after he loses power? I'm afraid that when the time comes, public opinion will crush him, and he won't be foolish enough to do such a thing."

  Ginger is still spicy after all these years, and those worries about An Tong are gone.

  "Daughter, you're thinking too much. What kind of person is Ji Jiangying? His methods are ruthless and cold-blooded, he doesn't care about public opinion. When have you ever seen him make a loss-making deal? Now that Gu Shuangning has no use to him at all, even if it's just to avoid offending our family for future cooperation, he will unhesitatingly kick her out. I believe he must have a way."

  After he said that, Anzi finally felt at ease. The surgery was almost done, and the facial repair was very successful. In just over a week, she would be able to return home.

  I recall a visit where I saw Gu Qian Ning in disrepair, and couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement.

  "Dad, you've worked hard during this period."

  She thought it through and decided to go back and give a big gift to Gu Qian Ning. She wanted to let her experience the taste of having a leaky roof on a rainy night.

  The shareholders' meeting was over, and Mrs. Gu was flustered.

  Wrapping around Old Master Gu and asking non-stop: "Now that you've let the An family get their way, what about Shallow Cong marrying into the Ji family?"

  Mr. Gu was quite annoyed and said, "Do you think I wanted things to develop to this point? What's it got to do with you?"

  Gu Shallow heard this and laughed heartily; "Mom, why do you always blame Dad? Whether Gu Shallow marries into the Ji family or not is her own fate. If she has a bad fate, who can be blamed?"

  "You little kid knows how to talk back, and besides, isn't that your second sister?"

  "I don't have a second sister like her, it's simply losing face for our family."

  Mrs. Gu was furious and wanted to say more, but was stopped by Old Man Gu.

  "Drop it, don't mention it again, I'm sick of it."

  He went upstairs to rest.

  Mrs. Gu immediately called Gu Qianqian to explain the current situation, but was suddenly snatched away by Gu Qianniang.

  "Mom, stop it. Aren't you ashamed enough? She was never a part of the Gu family to begin with. All these years she's already ruined the Gu family's reputation. Why are you still bothering about her life or death now?"

  Mrs. Gu's face was pained: "Qianqian, no matter what, she is still your sister..."

  Gu Shanshan shook her head directly; "Alright, I don't want to listen, I've said it before, I don't have a sister like that." As she spoke, she threw Mrs. Gu's phone far away, smashing it into pieces. Even the phone in the living room was torn apart, and she threatened Mrs. Gu: "If you dare to call her again, I'll tell Dad not to give her even the most basic living expenses. With those skills of hers, if the Gu family doesn't support her, she can only go out and sell herself."

  Mrs. Gu's heart ached terribly and she sat on the sofa crying.

  Gu Shallow Cong stayed at home all day and didn't know about the changes in the situation, let alone that everything had changed suddenly.

  Ji Jiangying's eyes became even more profound when he looked at her, originally already difficult to decipher, this time even more unreadable.

  She didn't want to probe him, since she couldn't understand, then she wouldn't look. She turned her head to Jiang Ran from last season, who was also very unpredictable. In her heart, she thought of when she first entered the Jiang's house, roughly having the same feeling as now.

  Strangers and indifferent, as if each had their own ulterior motives.

  The Ji family was too busy and couldn't spare the energy and time to pay attention to Huayu's affairs, so the entire Ji family was immersed in joy, looking relatively peaceful.

  This night is particularly hot and dry, the sky is heavily overcast, it seems like it's going to rain. The air conditioner in the room is turned up high, blowing so hard that my whole body feels uncomfortable.

  Gu Shallow Cong went to the balcony to breathe some fresh air and saw a faint light in the distance, which was not a lamp but a sparkler that flickered on and off.

  Before she could get close, the man had already turned around, it was Ji Jiangying. His casual clothes were blown by the gentle breeze like feathers, with a faint halo surrounding him, as if this man himself was a radiant being.

  Gu Shallow thought of fireflies, she still liked that. In the past, training or going on a mission to the wilderness, at night it was pitch black, and there were even wild beasts howling. The gloomy sky had no stars, let alone the moon. But miraculously, fireflies could be seen, they were the only thing that glowed, filling her pupils, she thought it was wonderful.

  At this moment, Ji Jiang's shadow is just like that of having a different tune but the same wonderful work. Apart from her not liking him, actually he has nothing wrong with him.

  Ji Jiang's gaze was fixed on her for a moment before he turned his head to look into the distance.

  Tall and slender, quiet and still.
