At 11 PM sharp, Xin Nianyin finally returned to her so-called home.
After bidding farewell to Ning Yan, he turned and walked into the house.
As soon as she opened the door, before she could turn on the light, she was choked by the smell of smoke.
Before she could recover her wits, she heard a familiar man's gloomy voice coming from inside the room.
"You still want to come back?"
Even though she was used to hearing Gu Bo's angry voice, Xin Nianyin was still shocked by this gloomy atmosphere.
She had a feeling that tonight was destined to be another sleepless night. In fact, after she left, another story had taken place in Gu's office.
When Ning Yan had pushed her into the car, Xia Yinyin, who had just finished receiving her coffee, saw it. In view of the kindness Xin Yuyin had shown her in the past, she had also been together with Gu Qi in rescuing her from the clutches of the tiger.
So even though she had a deal with Gu Qishao and had to do something to achieve her goal, she didn't really want to hurt Xin Xinyin. She just wanted her to leave.
However, he did not expect Xin Xinyin to be able to catch up to Ning Yan.
With Xia Yinyin's many years of experience as a courtesan, she could tell with a single glance that Ning Yan did not have an ordinary friendship with Xin Xinyin.
This was good as well. The power of the Ning Clan in Shanghai could be said to be on par with the Gu Clan. She would not feel wronged when she was with Ning Yan.
As long as Xin Nianyin and Ning Yan were able to walk together, Gu Yi would be the one walking on the stage.
Xia Yinyin finally found her balance, she thought, and then she knew what to do. With a charming smile, she pushed open the door to the CEO's office.
Without waiting for Gu Bajie to say the words to dismiss her, she first told Gu Bajie what she had just seen and heard.
Gu Bo had already been frustrated by Xin Nianyin's resignation, and now that he heard that she had left with Ning Yan, he was even more enraged than ever, wishing he could kill someone.
But even so, there was still a trace of anticipation in his heart.
For the past few days, Ning Yan had been circling outside the Gu Clan. He knew about this matter, but he chose not to interfere. He wanted to see if Xin Nianyin would do anything.
So...
The two of them had already colluded. No wonder she was so adamant on quitting her job. No wonder she would say such weird things.
"Pah!"
The computer on the table was directly split into two by Gu Ming's palm. A pair of eyes, filled with killing intent.
Pei Zi Yun touched his temples, feeling depressed in his heart. This was the third new computer this month.
Even Xia Yinyin, who had known him for many years and understood his temperament, was also frightened into taking two steps back by such a scene.
The man in front of him was as unfamiliar as if he had never seen him before. He wasn't Gu Bo, but more like a cold-blooded killer.
"Relax, is what she said true?"
After a long while, Gu Bo asked without any emotion.
From his childhood experience of growing up with Pei Zi Yun, he knew that once Gu Bo got angry, he would have to lie in wait for a million dead bodies and shed thousands of blood.
"Third Young Master, the Young Madam was taken away by Ning Yan. However, from the looks of it, the Young Madam did not do it voluntarily."
Pei Zi Yun added one last sentence, hoping this would ease his anger a little.
But soon, Pei Zi Yun realized that it was useless, because at that time, Gu Qi had already walked out of the office with the aura of an exterminator.
With the protagonist gone, Xia Yinyin had no reason to stay any longer. Without even glancing at Pei Zi Yun, she quickly followed Gu Qi out.
"Miss Xia, the psychology of Clinton is indeed well-deserved." Pei Zi Yun suddenly spoke out, and said a long and inappropriate sentence.
"Serve, I don't understand, what are you talking about?" Xia Yinyin smiled, purposely at a loss.
"I'm not that familiar with Miss Xia. You should call me by my name."
Pei Zi Yun replied calmly, but Xia Yinyin's face was already starting to turn red.
"Miss Xia likes to act, I'm not interested. It's just that I'm interested in the matter of you bringing up the stage, so I'm interested in saying a few more words."
As the man spoke, he suddenly turned around and walked in front of Xia Yinyin as he continued speaking.
"I'm not the only one who knows about Miss Xia's matters. Third young master knows very well that it's just that he still has some respect for you. I advise you not to destroy this respect with your own hands."
"Third Young Master only has one woman in his heart right now and has no time to worry about anything else. When he returns to his senses, it will naturally not be this situation anymore. Miss Xia, take care of yourself."
Pei Zi Yun did not give Xia Yinyin any chance to refute his words, and walked out in a straight line.
The reason why he said all of this was because of her brother. Whether she could listen to him was all up to her.
After the departure of Gu Mai, a person driving like a lunatic, wandering the streets of Shanghai.
The purpose was to find the woman who'd gotten into another man's car in the blink of an eye.
However, it was as if Ning Yan had hidden Xin Nianyin away. No matter how hard he tried, there was no news of her at all.
Time slowly passed, and Gu Qi's anger slowly turned into despair.
It was like when his mother and brother left, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop them.
Despair, like millions of ants, engulfed every cell in his body.
All the methods were exhausted, leaving only one.
Waiting.
He was betting. He was betting that Xin Nianyin would definitely come home tonight.
Just like Shen Congwen's love letter to Zhang Zhaohe, he knew you would come, so we waited.
Although the process was painful, it was fortunate that she waited there. When she smelled the familiar scent, besides anger, she also felt a sense of relief when her heart suddenly dropped.
It was just that Xin Xuanyin, who was preparing for battle with every cell in her body, did not notice these subtle emotions.
"Whap."
With a light tap from Xin Nianyin, the dark living room was immediately lit up.
In addition to the cigarette butts that almost covered the floor, there were also empty wine bottles lying all around the room.
He was holding a half-smoked cigarette in his right hand as he lazily sat on the ground, looking like a weakling.
A trace of heartache flashed through Xin Nianyin's heart, but it only lasted a second.
"I'm tired. I'll head back to my room first."
It only took her three seconds to reach the door before she turned around and walked back to her bedroom.
The woman deliberately did not care, like a sharp sword to the last rational string, instantly cut off.
Finally, rage swept over like a violent storm.
"Xin Xinyin, stop right there!" What, you're tired of seducing men? Do you really want it that badly? "Hmm?"
Every word of Gu Qi's was like a needle, viciously stabbing into Xin Nianyin's heart. She didn't even have the strength to scream out for pain.
"No matter what you think, it's all your fault."
Xin Xuanyin paused her steps before coldly throwing out a sentence. Feng Qingyun's tone was so indifferent as if he was talking about someone else's matter.
