Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from the last time, when I left the Gao family's backyard, Tan Yu had killed someone. He was the most capable and prestigious head of the Gao family besides Xin Ci. Gao Zhongwu's ancestors, except for Gao's great grandmother, also had a public background, so she had no way to survive both publicly and privately. I was completely relieved about the Gao family.

Hearing that something had happened, Jiang Yinan and Feng Shizhi came to look for me. Although I was prepared, I didn’t expect it to be so easy. After avoiding everyone and walking out, Feng Shizhi couldn’t wait to pull me aside and asked, “What did you say to her? Is she really that depressed?”

"Anyway, whether Gao Zhongwu lives or dies, she will not have a good ending, so it's better to take someone with her. Qin Yu has lived her whole life for her own child. Now she is finally going to see her child. How can she not bring the child's father with her?" I said calmly.

"What's more hateful than an enemy is an ally who betrays you." Jiang Yinan expressed his understanding, holding my hand and smiling as if asking for a reward.

Suddenly, a group of people crying heartbreakingly ran by. I stopped to look and recognized that they were Gao Zhongwu’s wife and four children. The oldest was in her twenties, and the youngest was still in his arms. He had married three women in his life, including Qin Yu. I won’t say anything about the last one who was after his money and power. Which of his first wife and Qin Yu didn’t love him sincerely? But what was the result of giving his sincerity to the wrong person?

When his wife gave birth to their second child, she had a difficult delivery and amniotic fluid embolism, and the child died without even seeing her. Less than a year later, Gao Zhongwu found Qin Yu, and was irresponsible again. He wanted to seek excitement and had an affair with her in secret. When something happened, he left Qin Yu and did not even show up when the child was thrown to death. Later, his relatives helped him, managed his work, and paid for the children's schooling. After he became successful, he married a beautiful woman, had a son and a daughter at the age of fifty, and came back to be the head of the Gao family. Facing the women he had let down, he not only did not feel the slightest bit of guilt, but also accused them of being cruel for wanting revenge.

Gao Zhongwu is hateful, but when I saw that group of children, I felt mixed emotions. What had they done wrong?

In the Gao family, the position of head of the family is fought for, not inherited. Although Gao Xinci and Qin Yu took that position after their elders abdicated, it was not an inheritance system. Gao Zhongwu's children were either too young or had no future, so they had no chance of becoming the fifth wife. It was difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. I thought the worst outcome for them would be that their days would be difficult in the future, but who would have expected that crazy roars would be heard in the yard soon after.

I went back to look, and saw it was Gao Zhongwu's eldest son, holding a machete and shouting at Qin Yu and the managers like a madman. My heart sank immediately and I sighed. In a place like the Gao family, every word and action could change your destiny.

"He won't survive." I shook my head. "If he could keep his useless personality, Gao Hantang might let him go. But now he's too radical in seeking revenge for his father. Even if he yells at Qin Yu, the few managers who don't seem to have any grudges against him may have recognized that those people are not the usual ones. If they let him out of this door to check, they will easily find that they are Gao Hantang's people. It will be troublesome to deal with them then."

"Gao Hanseng is involved too?" Jiang Yinan was a little surprised, but he quickly calmed down and took my hand and squeezed it, "We have to cut off the roots. Even if he just lies on the ground crying, he is in his twenties and is not old enough to be controlled. No one will believe that he is a fool and will not seek revenge. If I want to kill Gao Zhongwu, at least his two sons who have memories must be eliminated."

I looked back at Jiang Yinan. Although what he said was cruel, it was also the truth. I nodded.

"Let the Gao family decide for themselves. This matter has nothing to do with us anymore." Feng Shizhi pushed the two of us out and said, "If we had known that Gao Haneng would also get involved, we shouldn't have joined in the fun today."

We both had no objection. The Fu family shouldn't have interfered in the Gao family's affairs. I was worried that Xin Ci would be soft-hearted and there would be big trouble in the future, but I never expected Gao Hantang to be so radical. Normally, if Gao Zhongwu was still there, Xin Ci could still leave a three-way confrontation with Gao Hantang if he was busy dealing with him. However, he took action to deal with Gao Zhongwu, and from now on Xin Ci will have only him as an opponent. Although the foundation left by the second master Gao is huge, if they insist on fighting, Gao Hantang will be swallowed up within a year.

He is not a fool. He must do this. It can only be that Xin Ci made some promise to him. I should have thought of it earlier. The Gao family would not allow Xin Ci to be in power alone. In fact, before Mr. Gao Er caused trouble for his mother-in-law, the relationship between the two cousins ​​had always been good.

Anyway, in the current situation, whether Gao Hanentang is willing to live in harmony or insist on breaking up, Xin Ci is easy to deal with. I have nothing to let go of. As for what Jiang Yinan said just now about Gao Zhongwu's children, he still forgot one. Gao Zhongwu's concubine will also be eliminated, and the fifth room will be completely declined and eventually handed over to others. The two babies will also be adopted by the Gao family members who have no children. As time goes by, there will be nothing left.

There was also a banquet in the evening. The Gao family's old house opened the front and back gardens, the square swimming pool and several cruise ships in the back gate area. In addition, there were 145 courtyards and more than 500 rooms in the outer area for guests from afar to rest. It could be said to be the most grand event in Linjiang in recent years. It would not be appropriate for Feng Shizhi to take us away.

Judging from the situation, if there is no special business, it would be inappropriate not to stay until the evening. No one would not give face to the leader of the Gao family at this time. Anyway, Gao Xinci must be caught by someone, and there would be no trouble if I don't see him. So I stayed, but it was difficult to keep quiet. Soon a group of people surrounded me and asked about my marriage. Feng Shizhi replaced all my wine with grape juice in advance. Although it is not intoxicating, I was toasted with several glasses in a row, and my mouth tasted a little bitter.

After the people left, I looked at Feng Shizhi behind me who was pouring grape juice into the wine bottle with a resentful look. He enjoyed this "job" very much and was not at ease with anyone who wanted to help him. He even didn't want to pour out the wine, but also rinsed the remaining wine in the bottle with water. He said that the two doctors from the Hou family told him to do so, but I didn't think it was that serious...

"It's true that I won't get sick from drinking, but I think I will get diabetes." I said "seriously" with a frown.

Feng Shizhi didn't even raise his head, and reached out to stop the snack I was about to put into my mouth: "Then you should eat less of these. The doctor also said that you need to control your sugar intake. The drinks are specially prepared for you at home, and the sugar content in them is not high. But I can't control the food made by the Gao family's kitchen."

"What if I'm hungry?"

"You don't even want to eat your meal, but come here and tell me you're hungry. Where can I get food for you?" Feng Shizhi finally stood up, put his hands on his hips and looked at me helplessly. However, before I could get angry with him, Jiang Yinan had already pulled me into his arms.

"You're not used to the Gao family's food, right? I just saw that you've been feeling like vomiting, so I called the kitchen at home to ask them to make another portion. Let's stay for a while and we'll have something to eat when we get home." Jiang Yinan said softly, stroking my hair gently. I caught a glimpse of him making a face at Feng Shizhi out of the corner of my eye, and then he responded to Feng Shizhi's call of "vixen".

What's wrong with vixen? Can vixen still be considered a derogatory term in this era? It's simply my sister's caring little baby!

I saw that there were not many people passing by, so I quietly rubbed against Jiang Yinan's arms, but this made Feng Shizhi, the single dog, very upset, and he kept saying "eh" from behind me.

But with my unlucky constitution, I will always get into trouble if I enjoy myself for too long. The size of the events is randomly refreshed. When Jiang Yinan and Feng Shizhi suddenly fell silent and looked somewhere behind me, I knew they were coming. When I turned around, it was Song Fei, who raised her glass and motioned me to come over. I shrugged, got up and followed her to a low table with few people.

Song Fei seemed to be talking to me or to herself, and sighed deeply: "It's better to be happy than sad. These days are finally over. Being with Xin Ci is really hard. I won't talk about my own troubles. Just the elders of the Gao family are really hard to deal with. They want you to be born in a noble family, be well-educated and well-mannered, and give birth to a few children every few years, not work, stay at home to take care of your husband and children. But people like me can't live a life of mediocrity and being a full-time wife. I think women like that are really miserable, without self, freedom, and value."

I lowered my head and smiled, then took a sip of the wine glass. Unfortunately, he stood up with malice before I put the glass down.

"They always compare me with you. They say that you are the best choice for the Gao family's daughter-in-law, Miss Fu. Are you really suitable to be a full-time wife? You can really live such a boring life. Yes, you are fascinated by such a life now. You have a brother who loves you above, a hardworking manager in the middle, and a younger brother below. You will always be worry-free with the title of Miss Fu, and there will always be someone to handle everything for you. If it were me, maybe I would accept it too."

Full-time housewife is not a derogatory term. For most people in the world, who doesn’t like to live a life without having to worry about anything and just spend money to enjoy themselves? Unfortunately, for an ambitious person like Song Fei, this is an insult. She has her own passions and pursuits. It is better to have more people bow down to you than to be mediocre.

I put down the wine glass calmly. It was normal for her to feel a little resentful towards me. I accepted it. Even if it wasn't for Xin Ci, after so long, she should have noticed that there was always someone following the Song family's convoy today. There were only a handful of people in this city who could attack Song Chuanyang. She knew it as soon as she thought about it.

I took the initiative to pour her some wine, and said calmly, "Miss Song... Oh no, Mr. Song, you didn't come here to make an enemy of me today, did you? Your liking for Xin Ci has nothing to do with me. Now, in order to break off relations with Song Jie and have a place in Linjiang, you took the initiative to give up him. It is impossible that I forced you to do so."

"Miss Fu wants to discuss cooperation with me and wants me to pay a little bit. Isn't this the way of indirection?" Song Fei raised his chin and motioned me to look in the direction of Song Chuanyang: "He is my cousin after all."

The poor unlucky guy had a black forehead, but he was still unaware of the danger. Now he finally confronted my Chengcheng. This is not the way to steal a girlfriend. My Chengcheng is not born to be a cuckold.

Lulu covered her mouth and laughed, hiding behind Chengcheng, making Song Chuanyang look extremely embarrassed.

"He sold you out for wealth and glory without holding back, in such a cheap way. He is heartless and naturally doesn't care about being with someone he doesn't like, but you are not the same kind of person as him." I smiled lightly, pushed the wine glass towards her, and also gestured for her to look at Song Chuanyang: "You have ambitions, but you won't use marriage as a tool to exchange interests. You have intentions. The future of the Song family should be in your hands. You don't want to be that loser."

Song Fei was silent.

I continued, "I like you more than your aunt. If you ever replace her, I hope we can still be friends. You know I have a family that loves and protects me, and Xin Ci still has me in his heart. Most people in this world would not be so stupid as to be my enemy in Linjiang."

Song Fei smiled awkwardly and spoke weakly: "I know you are trying to sow discord."

"I also know that you like to hear divisive words from me. Happy cooperation, Mr. Song."

I clinked her glass and drank it all in one gulp. I was trying to be cool here, but the extremely unpalatable grape juice that Feng Shizhi prepared for me really ruined the atmosphere. I swallowed it down forcefully and adjusted my mood before I could continue speaking.

"Your opponent has never been me, not in your career, and even less in the Gao family. You should be able to see what kind of people those people in the Gao family's old house are. No one will be satisfied. They don't even want Xin Ci to find a suitable wife, because that will suppress them and prevent them from moving up. As for why they never complained about me when I was Xin Ci's fiancée, it was because Xin Ci protected me and they didn't dare. You understand right from wrong and know how to advance and retreat. You know that you have no hope with Xin Ci, so you will withdraw and choose to cooperate. Don't regret what you have already chosen. I haven't offended you, but for Xin Ci's sake, I will tolerate you once. Next time, don't take it out on me. Go back and see President Song."

Song Fei was still in a daze, but when he saw me saying goodbye, he stood up and nodded properly, and I returned the gesture.

As expected, after saying those harsh words, I should turn around and leave in a cool manner. My time at the banquet was almost up, so I would find an excuse to slip away and call it a day. However, an accident still happened unexpectedly.

Not far away from me is Gao Xinci.

He still squeezed out of his social engagements to come, followed by many people. He probably just wanted to see me from a distance and left without anyone noticing. He happened to hear me and Song Fei talking. I didn't think I said anything wrong, and thought he was sensible, so I was about to walk around him, but he grabbed my arm when I passed by him.

"Once you make a decision, will you never regret it? Will you or will you not? Have you ever regretted it?"

His voice was not loud, but all eyes were on him, so even the slightest sound was clearly heard, and the field suddenly fell silent.

I wasn't far away, so Jiang Yinan could see everything clearly. Even if he couldn't see clearly because of someone else, if this matter got out of hand, it would sooner or later reach his ears. I didn't want him to misunderstand anything again, and I didn't want Gao Xinci and I to be awkward like this for the rest of our lives, so I suppressed my panic and forced a smile while trying to push his hand away.

"Mr. Gao, what are you talking about? I don't understand..."

"Everyone in Linjiang knows about our affairs, and no one believes us even when we pretend." He said dejectedly.

As expected, there were whispers in the crowd. The more I listened, the more headache I had. I couldn't help but glance at him and lower my voice, "Gao Xinci, that's enough! I'm getting married, do you really have to make neither of us happy like this?"

"Are you happy to marry him?" He turned his head and looked at me. In that instant, whether it was love or resentment, the longing in his eyes made me half weak. However, he also smiled bitterly at himself at this time, and suddenly let go of my hand: "If this is your choice, then I wish you all the best."

I really don't know how he did it. A sense of loss surged in my heart. I took two steps back before I stood still, and fled in panic and embarrassment. His eyes at that time were in my dreams for many days afterwards.

But I also know that once my heart is disturbed, all the bad luck will come again...
