After the blind date, she became a top rich family

Xingchen Teahouse, in the VIP box.

In a quiet environment, inside the box, there are ornamental bamboos planted on one side, and a stream next to the bamboos, with many fish swimming in the water.

Beside the stream, there is a small bridge and flowing water, which, together with the entire box, looks like the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.

The entire box is decorated mainly in ancient style.

In the middle was Zhang Degu's wooden table, which was filled with fruits and cakes. Smoke rose up and filled the box. Light music slowly sounded and echoed in the box.

"Knock knock knock" Ji Shunuan knocked on the door lightly.

The door was opened, and a middle-aged man in black casual sportswear stood inside. He looked up and said happily when he met Ji Shunuan's almond-shaped eyes, "Mr. Ji is here?"

"Hello, Mr. Cheng. Sorry to have kept you waiting." Ji Shunuan called him respectfully.

Mr. Cheng had his hair combed neatly and was wearing casual sportswear. He didn't look like he was here to discuss business, but more like he was out to play basketball.

"You're being too polite. After all, we've known each other for many years. Let's not be too formal." Mr. Cheng said in a low voice without putting on airs.

Ji Shunuan walked inside and found that in addition to Mr. Li, there were three other partners inside.

"Miss Ji." When they saw her, they all stood up immediately, with a respectful attitude. Some even stepped forward and pulled out a chair for Ji Shunuan.

Ji Shunuan was "invited" to sit down by them, and President Li even came forward and poured her a cup of tea.

"Today, Lao Cheng and I took the initiative to call Lao Si, Lao Zhang, and Lao Chen. We are all acquaintances, so Miss Ji, please don't be restrained." Mr. Li said.

Ji Shunuan took the tea that Mr. Li poured for her, stood up quickly, and said, "I didn't know that all the seniors would come today. I am not well prepared today, I hope you can forgive me."

Seeing this, Lao Si quickly pushed the fruits and snacks towards her.

"Miss Ji, you are too polite. We are all happy for you when we heard that you left the Gu family. The Gu family has been rotten for a long time. This is something that everyone in the circle knows."

"Today, we have come here uninvited just to show our respect for your escape from suffering. With your ability, you don't need to rely on the Gu family at all." Old Chen also said quickly.

The only one who didn't say anything, Lao Zhang, also picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp.

"Mr. Ji, I heard that you are planning to start a new company. I came here today with sincerity. Everything about cooperation is easy to discuss. I have also brought the contract. I will invest in any project you like." Obviously, he is a straightforward person.

But Ji Shunuan remained silent and did not respond to them.

She sat there, looking at these middle-aged men with complicated eyes. Their average age was around 50 years old and they were considered her elders.

After so many years of cooperation, we are naturally familiar with each other.

But their generosity in wanting to cooperate with her made her feel a little sad.

"Actually, you should know that I have been without a mother since I was a child. My mother died of complications during childbirth." Ji Shunuan's voice was very soft.

Her voice continued to echo in the box.

When everyone heard her mention this, their faces became serious.

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

"I believe everyone heard about the explosion the night before yesterday. The fact is that I felt that there was something wrong with my mother's death, so I went to investigate."

As Ji Shunuan spoke, he took out the information he had obtained from the morgue and placed it on the table.

Mr. Cheng hesitated for a moment, reached out to take the information she handed over, glanced at it, and the others also hurried over.

"I found that the cause of death had been torn off in the old documents. Everyone said that my mother had a difficult labor when she gave birth to me, and the Gu family has been morally blackmailing me for years. They also said that it was Grandpa Gu who gave my mother a meal and saved her." Ji Shunuan said in a low voice.

As soon as she said this, Mr. Cheng slammed the table with his hand and stood up.

The teacup on the table was shaken by his force, and the tea spilled onto the table, wetting the corner of his clothes, but he didn't care.

"Bullshit, a favor of a meal? How dare a Gu say that?" Mr. Cheng shouted angrily.

He is already 50 years old and has a lot of life experience, so he has a lot of bearing. Under his majestic aura, his authority is naturally revealed.

"You also find it incredible, don't you? He did say that back then, and he used this incident to arrange a marriage between me and Gu Zhiyuan."

"I believed it at first, after all, my dad said the same thing, but over the years, I found that I seemed to have been fooled."

When Ji Shunuan said this, everyone's heart was in suspense. Although they were elders, they were still a little nervous in front of her, as if waiting for her next words.

But it seems that there is also some worry and fear.

"It was not until I overheard a conversation between Ji Jianchong and Leng Chunhong that I learned that my mother had left me a sum of money before she died. This money was considered invisible."

"As long as I form an alliance with someone or marry someone, the money will flow directly into where I work, and I will be tied to the other party for cooperation. After I formed an alliance with Gu Zhiyuan, the projects were automatically delivered to my door."

"You have been working with me for many years and are my elders. Today I am here to be honest with you. I am not here as a partner, but to communicate with you as a junior."

"I wonder if you knew my mother back then?" Ji Shunuan asked in a low voice.

Her voice was clear and pleasant, echoing in the box.

The five middle-aged men were silent. They didn't say anything, just sat there quietly, not eating or drinking tea, just staring at her blankly.

The look in their eyes, when they looked at her, seemed to reveal an emotion that she could not read.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Mr. Cheng slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Miss Ji, if you tell us your private affairs honestly, aren't you afraid that we will turn against you and report this to Gu's company?"

"After all, we are all businessmen who value profits. Meeting you today does not mean we must cooperate with you. Don't you suspect that we are testing you on behalf of the Gu family?" Mr. Cheng asked.

Mr. Li listened and nodded in agreement, "Yes, you young people are pure-minded. If you use tricks, I'm afraid you can't compare to us old bones."

Ji Shunuan sat there quietly until Lao Zhang finished reading the information and handed it back to her.

She took the information and put it in her bag, then slowly stood up and whispered, "I suspect there is something wrong with my mother's death."

"I also suspect that there is something wrong with the Gu family. Now I have completely fallen out with the Gu family."

"I don't know whether the funds my mother left me are tied to you, but I came here today to thank you for your trust in me over the years." Ji Shunuan said in a low voice.

She reached out and took the wine that had just been brought in, slowly opened the bottle cap, filled a glass for herself, raised it and said, "Today, I will use wine instead of tea to toast you.
