resentment

At this time, many guests came to the banquet, and many familiar friends began to greet Hitachi Churo from a distance.

When Hitachi Churo saw those people beckoning to him, he apologized to Gu Kai and Gu Jingchen with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, Gu Kai, this banquet is about to start, and I still have quite a few guests who haven't said hello yet. , please don't be polite!"

"Of course, Mr. Chulang and Ms. Suying don't need to greet us too much, go get busy as soon as possible!" Gu Jingchen said understandingly.

Gu Kai also greeted with a smile, and Hitachi Churo raised his foot to greet his old friend standing in front with a smile on his face.

But Hitachi Suying was obviously reluctant to leave with her father, but she had no choice, so she had to look back at Gu Jingchen from time to time, her eyes full of reluctance.

As soon as the two of them walked away, Gu Kai said calmly, "Gu Jingchen, your wishful thinking is really good. You actually sold your appearance for a cooperation project."

Gu Jingchen turned his eyes, and his indifferent gaze fell directly on Gu Kai: "I only have one wife, as for work, I always rely on my strength, unlike some people who use all dirty tricks. "

Gu Kai snorted coldly: "A dirty trick? So what? As long as the expected result is obtained, the process doesn't matter. I believe Mr. Gu will approve of this, won't he?"

Gu Jingchen withdrew his gaze and smiled leisurely: "As for this cooperation case, no matter how many methods are used, it will be useless. Let's talk about strength!"

Gu Kai heard the insinuation in his words that his company was not strong enough, and his eyes were red with anger, and his teeth were clenched.

He was about to continue talking, but Gu Jingchen didn't want to pay any attention to him anymore, turned away in front of Gu Kai, and walked towards the sofa in the corner.

Gu Kai watched Gu Jingchen leave as if he didn't see him, and was so angry that someone punched his chest several times at once. He was obviously in pain, but he couldn't say anything.

Under the pressure of reason, he could only force himself to suppress his anger, and stood where he was and watched Gu Jingchen leave.

When Gu Jingchen sat on the sofa in the corner, a thin layer of cold sweat had already emerged from his forehead.

The wound on Gu Jingchen's body has not fully healed, so he clearly feels that every time he speaks, the wound will throb and hurt.

He had been trying his best to deal with Gu Kai and Hitachi Churo before, but it only took a little time, and it almost consumed most of his physical strength.

So once Hitachi Churo left, he stopped chatting with Gu Kai, and let himself come here to sit down and rest.

It's still early for the banquet now, and he still needs to stay for a while, so he must maintain his state.

Fortunately, after a while, the banquet officially began.

Hitachi Churo took Hitachi Suying to the stage, and cheerful birthday songs rang out in the hall.

Amid the sound of everyone singing together, a huge custom-made cake was slowly pushed in front of Hitachi Suying under the attention of everyone.

Hitachi Suying smiled gratefully at her father Hitachi Churo, and subconsciously searched for a while. After finally finding where Gu Jingchen was, she closed her eyes and clasped her hands together to make a wish, then took a deep breath. Blow out the candles on the cake.

All the celebrations went very well, but after the cake was divided, Hitachi Hatsuro cleared his throat again, picked up the microphone and said to everyone: "Everyone, today is my Hitachi Hatsuro's daughter - Hitachi Suying , birthday, today she is an adult."

Everyone clapped their hands tacitly and congratulated Hitachi Suying one after another.

After the applause fell, Hitachi Churo continued to speak again: "There is one more important thing, I want to solemnly announce that no matter who is married to my daughter from now on, he will be We are the heirs of the Nishi Group."

This explosive news instantly caused a sensation in the entire banquet.

People stared at Hitachi Suying one after another, and those gazes instantly became hot.

Hitachi Suying lowered her head slightly shyly, but her eyes sneaked at Gu Jingchen from time to time, wanting to know how he would react.

But Gu Jingchen just sat on the sofa silently, his expression was still calm, as if he was not interested in the news announced at the banquet.

Gu Jingchen's attitude made Hitachi Suying feel a little lost, but she couldn't take back her gaze on Gu Jingchen.

Although Gu Jingchen knew that he was being watched all the time, he only thought that the gaze belonged to Gu Kai, and he didn't realize that Hitachi Suying was staring at him all the time.

Of course he also heard what Hitachi Hatsune announced in public, but those didn't mean anything to him. The reason why he appeared in the banquet of Hitachi's family was just for future cooperation projects.

Therefore, he was not very interested in the topics that Hitachi Churo said, and his injuries made his body very tired, and he didn't have extra mental and physical strength to pay attention to those insignificant things.

The banquet finally returned to calm, and music began to sound in the hall.

As the protagonist of the birthday party, Hitachi Suying had to dance the first dance.

So when the music started, Hitachi Suying walked towards Gu Jingchen.

"Mr. Gu, can you dance with me for the first time?" Hitachi Suying stood still in front of Gu Jingchen and offered him an invitation with a smile.

Gu Jingchen frowned slightly, although his body was a little hard, but when he thought of his purpose of coming here, he really couldn't refuse Hitachi Suying's invitation under the eyes of everyone.

He had no choice but to nod to Hitachi Suying, then resisted the discomfort in his body and stood up, stretched out his hand to hold Hitachi Suying's hand, and walked towards the banquet dance floor.

Fortunately, what was played at this time was only a slow waltz. Gu Jingchen hugged Hitachi Suying and danced in the middle of the dance floor, and the movements of the two were in perfect harmony.

And Gu Jingchen's dancing posture is elegant and illegal, clean and unrestrained, making it hard to see that he still has injuries on his body.

However, Hitachi Suying still knew about Gu Jingchen's injury. She wrapped her hands around Gu Jingchen's shoulders, smelled the good smell on his body, and asked in a worried voice: "Mr. With the wound, are you okay?"

Gu Jingchen put his hand gently on Hitachi Suying's waist, and led Hitachi Suying to move in step with the beat of the music.

After a beautiful spin, he said calmly to Hitachi Suying who was close at hand: "It's all right, if you only dance one dance, there is no particularly big problem."

After hearing his answer, Hitachi Suying immediately dispelled her worries, and asked in surprise: "Really? Then...then I won't dance after this dance."

Gu Jingchen didn't say a word, his face was very silent, but Hitachi Suying was also used to this kind of Gu Jingchen.

It's just that only Gu Jingchen understands that what he said just now is completely perfunctory. As for the truth and falsehood, only he himself has a deep understanding.

Although he didn't show the slightest abnormality on his face, the injuries on his body were getting more and more painful.

He gritted his teeth and let himself hold on desperately.

In such an occasion, he must not fall down anyway, otherwise it would not only give Gu Kai an excellent opportunity, but also put him in a situation of failure.

So he was clearly in pain and sweat was streaming down his back, but there was still no expression on his increasingly pale face.

That cold and hard face is like a stone sculpture, with only that expression forever.

The music was still going on, but Gu Jingchen couldn't hear clearly.

His eyes only widened subconsciously, his body only moved mechanically, and he began to feel that the oxygen was a little thin, but the dance steps under his feet were still beating.

One minute and one second passed extremely slowly, and a waltz seemed to have been played for a century.

However, Hitachi Suying, who was brimming with happiness, didn't notice Gu Jingchen's abnormality. She just let herself be led by Gu Jingchen and danced in the center of the ball, like a princess in a fairy tale, wholeheartedly. My beloved prince rounds this dance together.

Finally, the music finally stopped, and Gu Jingchen stopped with relief, and everyone clapped their hands and praised them.

It was just the end of the song, but Gu Jingchen was already in pain and couldn't hold it anymore. He quickly let go of Hitachi Suying, and said with difficulty: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

As soon as she said that, she wanted to leave, but Hitachi Suying felt a little disappointed, she didn't want to leave Gu Jingchen so easily.

When Gu Jingchen's footsteps moved, she quickly followed behind him and chased after him: "Mr. Gu... why don't we sit back and have a rest together!"

However, Gu Jingchen knew very well that he could no longer sit still, his current physical strength had reached its limit, and if he continued to stay, it would only lead to an unmanageable situation.

But he didn't have the strength to say a single word, and just after walking out of the dance floor, his eyes were dark.

At the same moment when Gu Jingchen's body softened, Li Zehai appeared, his eyes flashed, and he immediately reached out to support Gu Jingchen.

When he saw Hitachi Suying behind Gu Jingchen, his pupils shrank, and a smile appeared on his face: "Jingchen, you have injuries and are not suitable for driving. I will pick you up."

"Wait, sir, who are you?" Seeing that Li Zehai wanted to take Gu Jingchen away, Hitachi Suying hurriedly asked.

"I'm his friend, and I came here to pick him up because I knew he was injured." Seeing her asking, Li Zehai answered while supporting Gu Jingchen.

"Oh, it turns out that you are Mr. Gu's friend, so Mr. Gu will be taken care of by someone, so... I can feel at ease." Hitachi Suying said this, but her face was faintly disappointed.

Li Zehai didn't pay attention to her, so he just said perfunctorily: "Miss, I think he just finished dancing, he may need to sit down and rest for a while, we won't continue to accompany him, sorry."

After he finished speaking, he helped Gu Jingchen to sit on the sofa beside him, so that Gu Jingchen could have a good rest.
