…
In the reception room upstairs, Gu Shoutong was chatting away, but no one else was talking much.
Li Jingzhou would occasionally discuss with him the military developments of other countries and so on.
Ye Nanyi didn't even understand. No wonder she could stay here without fear of her revealing any secrets.
After discussing military affairs, Gu Xiao turned to look at Li Beihan, wanting to discuss some economics with him.
"Ahem - Beihan, China's economy is mainly driven by the Li Group. Since you took over, you have brought the entire Chinese economy up a notch. It seems that China must still be in the hands of you young people."
The name of the leader, Gu Xiao, is as casual and unrestrained as his personality, and his tone and personality are also very different from his speeches on stage.
I don't know if it was because of his face that was somewhat similar to Gu Sirui's, but Ye Nanyi actually felt that he was very friendly.
On the other hand, the Prime Minister's wife was very cold-tempered. Except for slightly twitching the corners of her lips at her when she walked in, she showed no expression the whole time and looked like she was staying out of it.
Li Beihan, who was beside him, did not react in any way after hearing his words.
Always lowering his eyes, he gently caressed her ring with his fingertips, carefully looking at every joint of her fingers.
There was a perfunctory attitude, with no intention of communicating with him.
"Beihan, don't just be busy making money sometimes. Come and sit in my capital office more often. I still need to ask you young people about many questions."
"Don't you have three young people at home? Do you still need to ask me for advice?"
Li Beihan's words instantly brought the atmosphere in the whole room to freezing point.
Gu Shou was choked up, but there was no expression of blame on his face, "Yes, I almost forgot that you are friends with the three children in our family. It's a pity that the three children in my family are busy in various fields. There are few When I come back, I can’t say anything.”
After finishing speaking, Gu Ran stood up and said, "Excuse me for chatting."
After Gu Ran went out, a hint of imperceptible helplessness flashed in Gu Shouting's eyes, and he continued with other topics.
Ye Nanyi lay next to Li Beihan's ear and whispered: "I want to go out and take a breath."
As Gu Ran left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely depressing.
Li Beihan didn't let go and stood up with Ye Nanyi.
"Sorry, Mr. Gu, I'm sorry." Li Beihan just pretended that Li Jingzhou across from him didn't exist, and left the living room with the little woman beside him without looking back.
There were only two middle-aged men of similar age left in the room.
"It seems that over the years, you and Gu Ran are too lazy to maintain the superficial harmony?" Li Jingzhou took out a cigarette and handed it over.
Gu Xiao chuckled to himself and took the cigarette from him.
"As the leader, I can't even handle the relationship between my own family. Am I a failure?" Gu Xiao pinched his eyebrows.
Li Jingzhou lit a cigarette and said, "Anyway, in our position, there are too many things we can't help ourselves."
Gu Xiao originally wanted to light the cigarette, but thought of something, put it aside, got up and went out.
On the rooftop, a figure stood there, holding a lady's cigarette between her white fingertips.
Gu Xiao walked over slowly, every step seemed extremely heavy.
"I'm sorry." He stood behind the woman.
The three words were fluttering and blown away by a gust of cold night wind.
Gu Ran didn't look back, his shoulders shook as if he was sneering.
The cigarette on his fingertips flickered, "Gu Xiao, have you forgotten how many children you have?"
"I haven't forgotten."
He didn't dare to forget.
"Do you feel comfortable with the position of leader that you bought with our daughter's life?" Gu Ran crushed the cigarette butt in his palm, not feeling the pain burning his palm at all.
Gu Xiao's masseter muscles trembled slightly. The wind on the rooftop was very cold, blowing the man's white hair.
Gu Ran turned around and passed by while brushing her shoulder. "You came up to apologize to me, weren't you just afraid that I would leave now? Aren't you afraid that I would ruin your face, the President? I won't. Gu Xiao, remember, this is the last time."
…
In the banquet hall, Ye Nanyi held Li Beihan's arm.
She didn't understand why Li Beihan was talking to the Prime Minister like that just now, but she found out after he told him the reason.
During the presidential election campaign 18 years ago, the Gu family's two-year-old daughter and Gu Ran were kidnapped by their enemies. As long as Gu Xiao gave up running for president, his daughter and lover could be saved.
But he didn't, and resolutely participated in the election for president, causing his daughter to lose her life.
When the Gu family arrived, they only rescued Gu Ran, who was seriously injured.
This is considered a secret of the Gu family, and it was also told to him by Gu Sirui, who still had memories.
I see.
All the filters Ye Nanyi had on Gu Shouting just now were shattered.
I don’t know what to say. I feel sorry for the wife of the Prime Minister.
No wonder Gu Sirui had that expression when he mentioned the Gu family.
Not far away, Feng Huai saw Ye Nanyi and Li Beihan and stepped forward to say hello.
Ye Nanyi didn't see Shen Wei and asked curiously: "Did you come by yourself?"
"Well, your aunt is feeling a little uncomfortable."
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay, don't worry. Did you and Beihan meet with the Prime Minister just now?"
"Yes." Ye Nanyi nodded, and chatted a few more words with Feng Huai, and Feng Huai left wisely.
Her eyes were attracted by an elegant figure in the distance, Ling Fei'er?
She frowned slightly and turned to look at Li Beihan.
"It's easy for the Ling family to buy an identity in China, and it's even easier to squeeze into the Chinese Chamber of Commerce."
Before she could ask the question she wanted to ask. Li Beihan answered first.
"How do you know what I want to ask you?" She really wanted to ask just now, isn't the Ling family from Country Y? Can I also join the Chinese Chamber of Commerce?
"Because I only have eyes for you."
Even if she looked around, his eyes always fell on her, and he naturally knew where her eyes were looking.
As if feeling the gaze from the side, Ling Feier turned her head and looked over here.
Seeing Li Beihan, the smile on her lips deepened.
But Li Beihan didn't look at her, his eyes were always on the girl beside him.
Why wasn't he even willing to give her a look? Even though he blocked a shot for the woman he loved, he still didn't change his feelings towards her at all.
Why?
Her heart was immediately filled with that strong unwillingness.
…
Ye Nanyi looked at the rows of dazzling desserts again.
"Want to eat?" Li Beihan looked sideways.
"Um."
When the old housekeeper brought them here before, her eyes had been fixed on those desserts. Just by looking at the creamy yellow cream, she knew that these desserts must be delicious.
Li Beihan accompanied her, holding a tray and a shelf, and followed her instructions to pick up a few exquisite cakes.
The two behaved so intimately that others envied them.
But because of the aura of this man, no one in the banquet hall dared to come forward and say hello.
But now, seeing his weakened aura and the gentle expression on his face, many people couldn't help but rush to fawn over him.
"Go away, don't disturb my woman's eating."
