"Drunk last night?"
"Someone else in your heart?"
...
Every word Gu Nian just said was like a wrench prying open the fragments of Shi Ye's memory, twisting all the memories of Shi Ye's drunken period.
Then these memories are becoming clear little by little.
Just like a slide show, start from the end and work backwards.
He first thought of Gu Nian crying. There was a sense of despair in her eyes, and she was looking at him sadly.
Then, he saw Gu Nian being pressed on the bed by him, and her slightly blushing face.
and her soft, full lips.
...
Later, he dreamed of Du Yucheng, and he seemed to emphasize to Du Yucheng that he still kept his promise.
However, he was already shaken.
In the end, he couldn't tell whether it was Du Yucheng or Gu Nian's chaos in front of him.
! ! !
Suddenly, Shi Ye felt as if his brain had been split open.
Depend on! What the hell did I do to Gu Nian?
Shi Ye, who had completely woken up, wished he could slap himself hard at this moment.
At this moment, it was almost the first time since Shi Ye had grown up that he looked down upon himself so much.
Gu Nian said before that he was not even as good as a "scumbag", but now it seemed that this evaluation was probably an understatement. Shi Ye felt that not only was he inferior to a scumbag, he could even be considered a beast!
Obviously, he had always wanted to protect Gu Nian before, to prevent her from stepping into his complicated circle and causing unnecessary trouble to the innocent woman.
But now, the biggest trouble is actually him.
Shi Ye felt that his head was about to explode, so he could only hold his tight temples to alleviate the feelings of regret and shame.
Previously, Shi Ye felt that he had always been in debt to Du Yucheng because Du Yucheng donated his liver to save him.
But now, he might be able to pay back Du Yucheng's share.
But what about innocent Gu Nian?
What should I do to make up for it? Even being close to her now makes Shi Ye feel like she doesn't deserve it.
Shi Ye felt that he was stupid as never before.
At this time, Shi Ye's cell phone rang, and he took it out with a frown.
He is his good brother, Qin Feng.
Shi Ye was worried that he had nowhere to vent his endless anger, so he answered the phone and cursed Qin Feng on the other end of the phone:
"Qin Feng, you are really here to defeat me!"
"Holy shit, brother, did you make a mistake? A random squirt at night? Where did I provoke you?"
Shi Ye swallowed his throat. There was really no reason to blame Qin Feng. After all, although Qin Feng bought the pot of low-alcohol rice wine, he took it out and drank it himself.
In the final analysis, it was because of my fragile body that I couldn't withstand such a low-alcohol alcohol, so I only drank a little and fell unconscious. I almost had sex with Gu Nian...
causing irreparable faults.
"Hey, Shi Ye, do you have to speak clearly? I'm a lawyer, and I don't accept unclear reputational accusations!" Qin Feng said angrily on the other end of the phone.
"Oh, forget it. It's okay." Shi Ye felt very helpless, "Call me, it's a private matter, tell me!"
Shi Ye usually doesn't disturb his subordinates easily after work, but similarly, subordinates shouldn't disturb him if they have nothing to do.
Although Qin Feng is his good friend, he still follows this principle.
"Business. There is something wrong with the land in Dongtai Plaza." Qin Feng replied.
When Shi Ye heard that it was about the project, he quickly returned to his usual calmness.
"what is the problem?"
Dongtai Plaza is a piece of land that Shi Ye previously spent 30 million to negotiate with Chen Bishi from Bolai Company, planning to build the largest health care project in Yuncheng.
All this was going on naturally, and the relevant signing ceremony was held as scheduled. It stands to reason that the construction can be officially handed over in winter.
"Chen Bishi owed a huge sum of money before, and some of the creditors turned out to be Zhu Muliang, and the subject matter of the mortgage was the completed office factory building above Dongtai Plaza. His debt was a private act, and there was no They followed the public accounts, so the debt details submitted at the time were not included." Qin Feng explained to Shi Ye.
Hearing this, Shi Ye couldn't help but clenched his fists.
It’s Zhu Muliang again!
Unexpectedly, he was careful enough and still got entangled by Zhu.
When Shi Ye thought of this, he felt an overwhelming feeling of nausea in his stomach.
"I paid Chen Bishi 30 million, which was enough for him to repay his debt. Why is there still a dispute?"
Shi Ye's tone was cold, and every word he said would freeze into ice.
"Because Chen Bishi owes Zhu Muliang 40 million, and now Chen Bishi can no longer be contacted."
Shi Ye sneered, "In other words, this Dongtai Plaza project has become a competition between me and Mr. Zhu."
On the other end of the phone, Qin Feng was silent because he had nothing to explain.
Everything was just as Shi Ye said.
A contest between Shi Ye and the Zhu Group has officially begun.
Old and new grudges must be settled together.
After hanging up the phone, Shi Ye suddenly felt a little tight in his chest.
Shopping malls are like battlefields, and wars are fought every day without gunpowder.
Even more insidious and cruel than the hot war.
He knew that when he went to work at the company tomorrow, he might see Shi Wei'an's arrogant and proud face. When he thought of this, Shi Ye felt even more depressed and depressed.
As Shi Weian's eldest brother, Zhu Muliang had set up a trap for Shi Ye in the Dongtai Plaza project. Shi Weian must have known about it, but did not remind him, which showed that his father was extremely cold-blooded towards him.
But it doesn't matter, God has left very few things for Shi Ye.
He has nothing to fear losing.
In the autumn night, a cool breeze blew by, which only made Shi Ye feel even more desolate.
At this time, a light came on in a dark room at the end of the second floor.
It's the direction of Gu Nian's room.
Shi Ye looked here feebly.
If Shi Ye only had to face the fight in the business war, then even if it cost him his life, he might not be afraid.
But what he didn't expect was that there were still things in this world that he tried desperately to make up for, but was still unable to do anything about.
For example, why is it meaningless even if I want to say "I'm sorry" to Gu Nian at this moment?
***
Gu Nian turned on the light in the bedroom and buried herself in the room.
The bedroom was quiet, with the cold autumn wind blowing in from the window, chilling my bones.
So Gu Nian took a deep breath and forced herself to walk out of the conversation with Shi Ye just now.
Then, Gu Nian walked towards the window and prepared to close it.
But just as she was about to open the curtains, she discovered the path outside the villa where she had just been.
Shi Ye was still where he was.
She couldn't see Shi Ye's expression clearly, but she could feel from his lonely figure that Shi Ye must be very lonely at the moment.
When I just returned to the villa, I met Zhang's mother who had packed up all her things and was about to pack up and leave.
Gu Nian simply said hello to Zhang Ma and wanted to go back to the room.
But she was stopped by Zhang Ma.
"Miss Gu, please stay."
"Mama Zhang, is something wrong?"
Zhang Ma nodded, then quickly put down the bag in her hand, returned to the kitchen, and brought out a bowl of hot chicken soup.
"Miss Gu, the young master specially asked this to be left for you. He said that you are always busy working and forget to eat well. It happens to be cold today. Please have a bowl to warm yourself up."
When Gu Nian heard what Zhang Ma said, her eyes and nose suddenly felt sore, but she still suppressed it.
It’s really annoying, why is it like this again!
Why does he still show concern for me when he clearly doesn't like me?
Doesn't he know that this behavior is stupid?
Gu Nian couldn't bear that Zhang Ma kept waiting for her with chicken soup. After thinking for a while, she turned around and took the soup bowl.
Zhang Ma was standing by and started to mutter unconsciously, "Miss Gu, you are actually really lucky. This is the first time I have seen a young master actively express concern for a girl?"
"first?"
When Gu Nian heard this, he thought it was really ridiculous, "Ma Zhang, are you kidding me? Mr. Shi, doesn't he still have other people in his heart?"
Zhang Ma quickly shook her head, wanting to clarify something with Gu Nian.
"That's different. I've taken care of the young master since he was a child, and I understand his nature."
"My young master is actually very soft and kind at heart. He is more of a repayment mentality towards Miss Yu Cheng. After all, the young master is alone in the UK and no one cares about him. Only Miss Yu Cheng is willing to donate his liver." , saved his life."
"Ah! Look at my mouth. I'm really old and I like to talk nonsense. Miss Gu, please don't mind. The young master doesn't like us talking about these things, so just pretend you didn't hear anything."
After Zhang Ma finished speaking, she didn't forget to slap her mouth lightly, as if she could punish herself for talking too much.
But Gu Nian knew that on the one hand, Zhang Ma liked to nag because she was older, but on the other hand, she didn't treat her as an outsider, so she talked so much.
After all, Gu Nian still remembered that when she first met Zhang Ma, Zhang Ma didn't speak much, but had the same business-like smile as Qin Feng.
But after spending such a long time together, Zhang Ma and Qin Feng, who had always only obeyed Shi Ye and had only a sense of alienation from others, slowly revealed their truest self in front of Gu Nian. side.
This also proved something to Gu Nian.
That is, she seemed to have integrated into Shi Ye's circle unconsciously.
I became more or less familiar with these people.
Although Zhang Ma wished she could take back what she just said, her words would leave traces.
Even though he only said a few words, even though Gu Nian once said that he didn't want to care at all.
But Gu Nian still captured some information and kept it deep in her heart——
"U.K".
"Miss Yucheng".
"Donate your liver."
"Saved Shi Ye".
These words all reveal a heavy meaning.
So, what Shi Ye has been thinking about all this time is actually his savior?
If this was the case, Gu Nian suddenly seemed to feel relieved.
After all, if you think about it from his perspective, her short-term contribution to Shi Ye could not be compared to that of "Miss Yu Cheng" who risked her life to save Shi Ye.
What she does is completely different from what "Miss Yu Cheng" does.
Therefore, for a moment, Gu Nian could understand Shi Ye's feelings of never forgetting this sweetheart who was stationed in his heart.
However, it is only understanding.
Gu Nian didn't dare to go any further.
