The night sky outside the French windows was getting darker and darker. All kinds of garden lights flooded in from outside the French windows, enveloping Song Guo’s thin figure, making her look even more slender and delicate.
Song Qishan tried his best to ignore these things, and his voice was as cold as ever. “sign it. I even left you some dowry money. I don’t want a single cent of the money you started your business with. You should be satisfied now, right? ”
Two hundred million USD was earned from selling her body, but he only left her ten million USD. He was Really Generous and merciful!
Song Guo lowered her eyes and looked at the “contract of selling her body” in her hand. She couldn’t even be bothered to feel sad. “CEO Song, what if I don’t sign this contract? ”
She knew that she had asked another silly question, but she had been foolish for so many years, trying to win his father’s love in order to help her mother. It didn’t seem like she would miss this opportunity.
“Guoguo, you are still too young. ”
Song Qishan tugged at his dark tie that had remained unchanged for thousands of years. He took the cigarette box on the coffee table, took out a cigarette, and lit it up. After taking a deep breath, he said slowly in a low and hoarse voice, “father would advise you not to force a businessman who has no way out. Believe me, the consequences… are definitely not what you want, and are not something you can bear. ”
Song Guo placed the contract in her hand on the coffee table and chuckled softly. “CEO Song, in the name of my mother and my grandparents, have you not threatened me many times over the years? Now you want to send me away with such a small favor? Isn’t that a little too much! ”
Even though the thin smoke covered Song Qishan’s face, Song Guo could clearly see that his expression had changed, and it had become very ugly. After all, they were father and daughter, and she still knew how to stop when the situation was right.
Thus, before he was about to say something even more ruthless, he spoke first. “How about this, CEO Song, you want to use your daughter’s marital happiness to exchange for wealth and glory, and I want to use my marital happiness to exchange for freedom. Then, you should let me see your sincerity, right? ”
Song Qishan frowned and asked in a low voice, “what sincerity? Tell me. ”
Song Guo hesitated for two seconds, then said with a smile, “since someone is willing to pay such a high price to buy my marriage, should I meet this benefactor to cultivate a relationship? Maybe I can change from being unwilling to be willing to be willing? ”
Song Qishan took another deep breath of the cigarette in his hand and said indifferently, “how do I know you won’t play tricks? ”
“If playing tricks can save me from this ‘disaster’ , I don’t think I’ll just wait until today to play tricks again. Don’t you think I’m right, Chief Song? ”
“Yes, but I have to ask him what he thinks first. ”
Song Guo nodded, indicating that she agreed with him. Then, she asked casually, “is this man old enough to be my father this time? ”
Song Qishan seemed to be very disgusted by Song Guo’s words. He instantly frowned, but he didn’t show it in the end. “No, this man is a young talent. ”
Song Guo continued to ask, “do I know him? ”
How could Song Qishan not know that Song Guo was trying to trick him? He quickly continued, “I only said that I want to ask him what he thinks, I didn’t say that I want to tell you who he is. ”
“He’s so mysterious. Could it be that he has some hidden illness? ”
Although Song Guo deliberately lowered her voice, Song Qishan’s ears clearly caught it. He suddenly stood up and said, “don’t worry, I won’t trick you this time. ”
“It’s getting late, let’s go eat. ”
After saying this, he walked towards the restaurant. Song Guo looked at Song Qishan’s back view, which seemed to have aged ten years, and suddenly felt that he was a pitiful person.
A pitiful person who had spent his entire life doing things for the clouds and the rain, but didn’t know what Love was.
She was not in the mood to sit down and have dinner with them. She simply found an excuse and left.
It was a little cold at night in forest city at the end of autumn. She did not wear much, and just as she walked out, she felt a chill.
The wind was a little strong, and the hem of her clothes fluttered in the air. She had just taken a few steps when it was as if raindrops fell from the inky sky and landed on her body. She could not help but cower.
She frowned. Before the rain became heavier, she stepped on her ten-centimeter high heels and quickened her steps towards the parking lot in front of the house.
After running for about two minutes, she finally ran into the car before the rain started to fall.
After she got into the car, she was not in a hurry to start the car. Instead, she looked into the song residence through the sudden heavy rain. She saw Song Qishan carefully supporting Mina to sit at the dining table with a genuine smile on his face.
No one would know how much she once yearned for the same fatherly love as others. However, as she grew older, she knew that she would never be able to get the same fatherly love as others. She could even control her sadness very well.
And that kind of sadness was silent and deep in her bones.
Song Guo stared at it for a few seconds, then looked away. She immediately started the car and drove away from the courtyard of the song family’s old house.
The wind and rain were heavy. Coupled with the slippery road and poor visibility, Song Guo drove at the slowest speed possible to reach the old house her mother had left for her.
There was no umbrella in the car. She parked the car and rushed into the wind and rain. She jogged all the way back to the house.
Because the rain was too heavy, she ran into the house and her body was almost completely drenched.
She changed her shoes and rushed into the bathroom. Just as she took a towel and began to wipe her wet hair, the phone in her pocket vibrated.
She took out her phone and looked at the screen that lit up. It showed an unfamiliar number. She frowned and looked at it for two seconds before Swiping the answer button. “Hello, I’m Song Guo. ”
“Miss Song, I’m the director of the private sanatorium in Lin city. Your grandparents were taken away by force just now… ”
When the old director, who was in his seventies, said that they were taken away by force, he could not help but break out in cold sweat. In fact, rather than saying that they were taken away by force, it was more appropriate to say that they were taken away by force.
This was because he had never seen such an elite team of bodyguards at his age, which was comparable to a private mercenary army.
Moreover, all of them were as strong as mountains and had a powerful aura. Not to mention the doctors and nurses in the sanatorium, even professional soldiers might not be a match for them.
Song Guo also heard the lingering fear and embarrassment in the director’s words. She could not hide her trembling and hurriedly asked, “what happened? He was taken away by force? Who in forest city has the courage to do such a thing? ”
“This… I’m not too sure either, Miss Song! ”
After saying this, the director continued, “Moreover, I just contacted your father. His reaction was also very shocked. He even said that he would send someone to investigate carefully. ”
Song Guo knew that the director was telling her in a disguised way that this matter had nothing to do with Song Qishan. It might have something to do with the new sanatorium’s boss.
But if it had nothing to do with Song Qishan, then who could it be?
Song Guo was so anxious that she was about to cry. Her voice trembled violently. “How could such a thing happen for no reason? ”
The director of the Sanatorium also felt a lot of pressure. “Oh right, Miss Song, other than this incident, another big incident happened at the sanatorium. The owner of the sanatorium has changed. ”
“changed? ”
The director grunted and then said, “I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but the sanatorium just changed its owner that night, and now this happened! ”
Although the director didn’t explicitly say that all of this had something to do with the change in the owner of the sanatorium, it wasn’t far from the truth. Song Guo wasn’t a fool, so of course she understood the mystery and mystery behind it.
“okay, I got it. I’ll rush over now. ”
After pressing the hang-up Button, Song Guo ran to the door of the apartment. Just as she reached the door, the phone in her hand vibrated again. She thought it was the director calling, so she did not even look at it and directly slid down the answer button.
“Director, is there anything else? ”
Gu Xichen was stunned when he heard the two words “director” . He quickly took the phone away from his ear and glanced at it. When he saw that the name on the screen was Song Guo, he asked calmly, “Miss Song, why didn’t you check who it was when you picked up the phone? ”
Song Guo was stunned for two seconds when she heard Gu Xichen’s voice. Then, she asked, “Gu Xichen? Why did you call me? ”
“would you be surprised if I said that I like you? ”
Song Guo smiled. “No, I will fall in love with you immediately. ”
Gu Xichen felt a chill on his back. He quickly smiled and changed the topic. “Song Guo, I heard that the sanatorium where your grandparents live has a new owner? ”
“How do you know? Do you know who the new owner is? ”
Gu Xichen raised his handsome eyebrows and picked up the red wine glass on the coffee table to take a SIP. Then, he casually said, “of course I know. I personally negotiated this acquisition. ”
Song Guo had obviously guessed who it was, but she still did not give up and asked, “who is it? ”
“Song Guo, you’re asking even though you know the answer. Do you really want to rekindle the old relationship with Mu Yuanqiao, or… do you really want to dump Lin Nancheng? ”
It was indeed him, Lin Nancheng.
“Gu Xichen, is it interesting for you to be in cahoots with him? ”
Gu Xichen spread his hands. “It’s not interesting, but you’re not my woman. I really don’t have to offend him for you! ”
Of course, Song Guo knew that he was referring to Lin Nancheng.
No one would be willing to offend a big shot who controlled the economic lifeline of this city for the sake of a completely unrelated person. He, Gu Xichen, was not a fool. Of course, he would not do that.
Song Guo closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then, she asked, “where is he now? ”
Gu Xichen raised his eyebrows and said indifferently, “I think he went on a business trip. ”
“where did he go on a business trip? ”
“I’m not too sure about that. After all, I’m not a worm in chief Lin’s stomach, but I think you, Miss Song Guo, should be able to bear the word ‘worm’ . ”
The meaning of his words was very obvious. He was telling her that Lin Nancheng had gone to the United States.
Because their reunion was in the United States, there were too many memories there. He wanted her to compromise with him in the city with so many memories, completely compromise.
And apparently, her grandparents had been taken away by him and went to America with him.
“When did he leave? ”
Hearing Song Guo’s words, Gu Xichen raised his left wrist, looked at the delicate dial on his wrist, and said with a smile, “the plane should have just taken off. If you go after him now, it will at most be an hour away from the landing time of his plane. ”
Song Guo took a deep breath, reluctantly said thank you, and then pressed the hang-up button on her phone.
She stood there with her phone in her hand and thought for a few seconds. Then, she went back to her room to change her clothes and pack her luggage. Then, she took her passport and umbrella and went out.
The road was slippery on a rainy day. Instead of driving to the airport, she chose to take a taxi.
When she arrived at the airport, she booked a plane ticket for the nearest time and flew to Los Angeles, the United States.
It was almost as Gu Xichen had predicted. The landing time of the plane she took was about an hour different from the landing time of Lin Nancheng’s plane.
After she got off the plane, she immediately dialed Lin Nancheng’s number. After beeping twice, Lin Nancheng’s deep and magnetic voice came from the other end. “It’s so late. I wonder what Miss Song wants to talk to me about? ”
Due to the time difference, it was now 11:40 in the middle of the night in Los Angeles.
It was already so late, yet a single woman was calling a single man. Just thinking about it made her feel ambiguous. Moreover, they had only broken up for a few days, and it already seemed even more ambiguous.
Song Guo did not beat around the bush. Instead, she asked concisely, “Lin Nancheng, are my grandparents with you right now? ”
Lin Nancheng raised his straight brows slightly. “Miss Song, the signal is not good here. Who Do you think is with me? ”
Song Guo knew that he was doing it on purpose, so she controlled her temper and asked again, “where are you now? ”
“Lin family’s Los Angeles headquarters. ”
Song Guo really wanted to ask him why the signal was good again, but she felt that it was meaningless. Then, she said, “I’ll take a taxi now. Wait for me there. ”
After the man heard that, he smiled and replied, “Miss Song, I’m really sorry. I’m afraid it’s not convenient for me to see you now… ”
Before Lin Nancheng could finish his words, a sweet and pleasant female voice came from the other side. She said coquettishly to him, “director Lin, hurry up and leave. I’m very tired in high heels… ”
Song Guo heard the woman’s words and immediately stopped in her tracks. Lin Nancheng saw that she did not speak, so he said in a magnetic voice, “see, I’m not lying to you. It’s really not convenient for me now. ”
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
Song Guo had always prided herself on her ability to deal with relationships cleanly and cleanly. She had never thought that she would be together with him. However, when she found out that Lin Nancheng had broken up with her, she immediately had another lover. The feeling was still as if thousands of swords had pierced through her heart. It was so painful that she could hardly breathe.
Lin Nancheng said a good word quite dotingly, then pressed the hang-up button, leaving the woman on the other end of the radio wave shivering.
She did not know whether it was because it was too cold in the late autumn night in Los Angeles or because she was wearing too little, but she felt very cold. It was bone-chilling.
The airport in the middle of the night was very empty. As she stood in the middle of the hall, she suddenly felt lonely. She had never felt so lonely before.
Because she had to raise money previously, she had already sold her bachelor apartment in Los Angeles. She could only find a random hotel and prepare to look for Lin Nancheng the next day.
She was a person who would easily lose sleep if she changed places, and this night was destined to be her insomnia. It was not until the sun rose from the West that she felt a little sleepy. She had just closed her eyes when the phone next to her phone started to vibrate.
She took the phone in a daze and swiped the answer button. In the next second, the voice of Lin Nancheng’s personal secretary, Tang Fei, was heard “Miss Song, CEO Lin has been busy with his personal schedule for the past few days. If you have anything, just look for me directly. I will pass on the message. ”
Tang Fei’s words instantly made Song Guo lose her sleepiness. She bounced up from the bed. Although her eyes were still hazy, her voice no longer had the languid and undisciplined tone from when she had just woken up. “Did he ask you to contact me? ”
“No, the responsibility of the president’s personal secretary also includes sorting out the phone records that the president made the day before. Because I’m an old friend of Miss Song, I made it convenient for you… ”
Tang Fei’s words were already tactful enough to tell her that this was a call that she made on her own initiative and had nothing to do with Lin Nancheng.
Song Guo took a deep breath. After a few seconds, she slowly asked, “Secretary Tang, since you mentioned that we’re old friends, can I ask what kind of personal schedule President Lin has been busy with these past few days? ”
Tang Fei heard Song Guo’s words and seemed to be in a difficult position. “This… ”
“I know it’s not convenient for you to tell me, so let me guess. ”
After saying that, Song Guo continued, “is CEO Lin here for a blind date? ”
Tang Fei pursed her red lips and lightly acknowledged Song Guo’s words.
“Is he the daughter of a rich family, or is he a Chinese socialite from America? ”
Tang Fei raised her beautiful eyebrows and lightly said, “Miss Song, you should know that the CEO hates it when people around him talk too much. That’s all I can say. I really can’t help you with the rest. ”
After Tang Fei said that, she immediately cut off the phone communication, not giving Song Guo a chance to react.
Song Guo listened to the busy tone from the radio and laughed at herself for a long time. She could not tell if she should be happy or sad.
She sat on the bed for more than ten minutes before she lifted the blanket and got off the bed. She was ready to go to the underground parking lot of the Lin Corporation headquarters to wait. She did not believe that Lin Nancheng would not return to the company and not take the elevator reserved for the CEO.
Although she only wanted to clarify the INS and outs of her grandparents being taken away by force, she went to the Lin Corporation headquarters to wait for Lin Nancheng. It seemed like she was entangled with him. Moreover, the two of them had just broken up, and she had already gone to the company to wait This made people’s imaginations run wild.
In order to avoid misunderstandings, she had put on all her equipment before she came, so that no one in the Lin Corporation headquarters could recognize her, and she was happy to be at ease.
The underground parking lot was a little dark, and coupled with the continuous rain in Los Angeles at the end of autumn, she felt a strong chill when she stood beside the president’s private staircase for a short while.
She was wearing quite a lot of clothes, but she had a body that was afraid of the cold. She only felt the cool breeze from head to toe, and there was nothing on her body that had anything to do with the word ‘warm’ .
She squatted there and waited for half a day and half a night. Finally, she saw his car slowly approaching from the entrance of the parking lot. Although it was quite far away.. She could still clearly see a very beautiful young woman sitting in the front passenger seat.
She did not know what she was thinking, but her first reaction was actually to run away. However, she had just taken two steps when she felt that running away was meaningless. On the contrary, it would not solve any problems.
Moreover, this matter was not something that she could run away from just because she wanted to.
She stood there, waiting for the man and woman in the car to come closer. One step, two steps, three steps… …
Then, they got closer and closer, closer and closer… …
She could even hear her own heart beating like a drum, almost to the point of her throat. Just when she could not take it anymore and wanted to turn around and leave, the man’s dark eyes had already caught her figure And she could not avoid his gaze.
The woman walking beside Lin Nancheng also saw song Guo standing beside the CEO’s ladder. She looked around and made sure that there were only the two of them. Then, she turned to look at Lin Nancheng beside her. “Mr. Lin, this is… ”
Lin Nancheng retracted his gaze and said lightly, “an unimportant person. ”
“But from the looks of it, she seems to be waiting for you. ”
“There are too many women like her every year. If I respond to every one of them, I might have to open an emperor’s Harem. ”
After hearing his humorous explanation, the woman smiled sweetly. “No matter what, you guys make it clear. I’ll go up first. ” Tian Tian said
After the woman finished speaking, she smiled at Song Guo and went into the elevator.
Lin Nancheng watched the woman leave before he looked at Song Guo, who was trembling “Miss Song is waiting here. I wonder which woman loves me so much that she would wait in such a cold underground garage. ”
Song Guo pursed her beautiful red lips and did not say anything. She only asked, “where are my grandparents? ”
“Why are you asking me where are Miss Song’s grandparents? If I remember correctly, we broke up half a month ago! ”
He was telling her that from the moment they broke up, all the people and things around her had nothing to do with him.
Song Guo bit her red lips again and said calmly, “Gu Xichen said that you were the one who bought the sanatorium my grandfather lived in, and they were taken away by force for no reason. Besides Lin, I really can’t think of anyone else who would do this series of things. ”
Lin Nancheng raised his eyebrows. “Miss Song, do I look like I have so much free time? ”
“Also, an ex-girlfriend who has already broken up came to ask me such a question. How do you think I should answer? Or if I ask you this, what kind of answer do you want to hear? ”
Lin Nancheng approached her step by step. In order to keep a safe distance from him, Song Guo retreated step by step until her back was pressed against the cold wall. Then, she stopped “Lin Nancheng, don’t always answer my questions with questions. Is it so difficult to tell me that you did all this? ”
“You said that I did it? ”
The man’s handsome face got closer and closer, and the warm breath sprayed on her face, causing a shudder that he could see. “Then May I ask Miss Song, do you have any evidence? ”
“Lin Nancheng, I don’t want to play word games with you, and I don’t want to have anything to do with you. But the premise is that you can’t do all these things for my own good, but in fact, you’re hurting me! ”
