Su Lingzhi was fawned over by everyone, Su Wan and Su Zitian were so angry that their teeth itched. Su Wan was very calm, but Su Zitian was furious. "Su Lingzhi, if mom hadn't asked you to come back, you would still be selling smiles in the dance hall for a living, and you wouldn't be able to live such a luxurious life. You can't be so ungrateful. The Su family can take on the project, so how can we give it to others?"

Xu Wanqing chuckled and said, "It was Madam Su who took the initiative to sever ties with Lingzhi and swore an oath by high-fiving. Now that Lingzhi can decide who will do the project, are you going to regret it?"

Su Wan said softly, "Mom is angry. Lingzhi, as daughters, we should also be considerate of our elders. Since you came home, Mom has been so good to you. She treats you sincerely. You can't hurt Mom's heart just because of a momentary anger."

"Mom, are you just angry at the moment?" Su Lingzhi asked with a smile.

Xiang Li's face flushed with shame. If she admitted that it was just a momentary anger, she would lose face. Su Wan lowered her voice beside her and said, "Mom, for the sake of the Su family, you should admit your mistake to Su Lingzhi. If Lingzhi really gives the project to someone else, Jialiang and I will lose face too."

Xiang Li felt a fire burning in her chest. She looked around and felt cold. The noble ladies who used to be on good terms with her now looked like they were watching a good show. Everyone was grilling her. Even her daughter, whom she had raised, ignored her dignity and asked her to admit her mistakes and give in. How ridiculous!

Su Lingzhi was also tired of being pestered, and said calmly, "Since Madam Su has severed ties with me, I think she doesn't bother to ask me for any benefits. Let's give the project... to the Xu family."

Xu Wanqing was overjoyed. She felt that it was not in vain that she made friends with Su Lingzhi, who was very considerate.

Xiang Li's face was pale and her eyes were dark. Sounds of ridicule and discussion poured into her ears like a tide. Xiang Li felt so ashamed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Su Wan gritted her teeth, very angry, "Su Lingzhi, are you determined to sever ties with the Su family?"

"The Su family can only have you and me!" Su Lingzhi's voice left no room for argument. "Mrs. Su chose you, which means she gave up on me. She should have expected this in her heart."

Gu Jialiang could no longer bear it, "Gu Zhen, the group project is such a big thing, are you going to let Su Lingzhi do what she wants?"

"So what?" Gu Zhen looked coldly, "If you have the ability, take Repulse Bay from me. Since it's in my hands, I can give it to whoever I want. If I want to smash it for fun, it's also my business."

Everyone, "..."

Xu Wanqing said loudly, "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, this project will not fail. Our Xu family will definitely make it a success."

Xiang Li was proud and could no longer tolerate the looks of others watching her play, so she left angrily. Su Zitian glared at Su Lingzhi fiercely, "Su Lingzhi, you will regret this!"

Su Wan was anxious to chase Xiang Li, but she was Gu Jialiang's fiancée and could not leave at will.

Gu Zhen took Su Lingzhi to say goodbye to Gu Xinze and Mrs. Gu. Mrs. Gu's face was gloomy and her usual gentle smile was gone. Gu Zhen had embarrassed the Su family, which was also embarrassing her, and he almost ruined her birthday party. She could only watch Gu Zhen take Su Lingzhi away.

The garden of the Gu family mansion was different from the banquet hall that was glittering with jewels and bustling with activity. The courtyard was deep, quiet and cold, and the cold wind made Su Lingzhi feel a little chilly.

Su Lingzhi stopped in her tracks when she heard a few dogs barking. She loved animals and also had a dog and a cat in the real world.

"Do you have a dog at home?"

Gu Zhen paused. For some reason, Su Lingzhi felt that he was tense all over. The lights in the garden were dim, and his face was hidden in the night, which made him look a little dangerous for no reason.

"Want to see?"

A woman's sixth sense told her not to be curious about anything happening in the mansion, but Gu Zhen had already taken her deep into the garden, so Su Lingzhi had no choice but to follow him. She was wearing high heels and walked very unsteadily on the gravel road. Gu Zhen turned around and held her hand.

His palms were warm and moist, with a little sweat on them.

Su Lingzhi was wondering, is he nervous?

Gu Zhen led Su Lingzhi through a garden full of flowers. The moonlight was clear and cold, casting a thin layer of light, covering two figures, one black and one white, making them look slender and gentle.

At the end of the garden is the doghouse. The two-story doghouse is luxurious and cozy, and can accommodate one person. This area is slightly higher, and standing next to the doghouse, you can see the brightly lit Gu family mansion.

Hearing the footsteps, a big dog came out of the kennel and barked at the person who came.

The Tibetan Mastiff is tall and mighty, and looks very ferocious. It is a very cruel and fierce dog that can bite a person to death or dismember him.

Su Lingzhi was frightened and hid behind Gu Zhen, but Gu Zhen didn't move at all.

The Tibetan Mastiff was tied with a thick iron chain and stopped as soon as it reached them. Gu Zhen didn't know how many times it had come here. It seemed that it had calculated the distance well. The Tibetan Mastiff just rushed to him to show off its power but couldn't hurt him.

"What are you afraid of?" Gu Zhen's voice was slightly cold.

Su Lingzhi poked her head out from behind Gu Zhen and said cautiously, "I like dogs very much, but I'm afraid of this kind of fierce dog."

"No matter how ferocious a person is, he is still a beast in the eyes of others." Gu Zhen's voice became even colder.

Su Lingzhi saw scars of varying sizes on the Tibetan Mastiff's body, as if it had been beaten. It looked pitiful yet fierce. "Why was he beaten like this? Isn't he going to the vet?"

Dog owners love dogs very much, just like her. She would take her precious puppy to the hospital at the slightest sign of trouble, but the Tibetan mastiff was covered with scars of all sizes, which was horrible. The owner did not pity it at all, tied it up here and abused it. What was strange was that they built such a luxurious dog house for the Tibetan mastiff, which was really contradictory.

Su Lingzhi recalled a TV drama she had starred in about wealthy families fighting for power. In the plot, there was a scene where the second male lead snatched the male lead's pet and abused it every day.

In this short drama, everyone is crazy and Gu Jialiang is dark and selfish. How could he do such a thing?

"Is this your dog?" Su Lingzhi asked curiously.

Gu Zhen looked at the Tibetan Mastiff solemnly, without making any comment. Su Lingzhi held his hand the whole time and noticed that the sweat on his palms was getting more and more, but there was no clue from his expression.

"This is where I used to live!" Gu Zhen said calmly, "This is also where I used to be tied with a chain."

Su Lingzhi, "..."

Damn it! ! !

Too cruel!

Su Lingzhi recalled the words Su Zitian had used to scold Gu Zhen: You are a dog of the Gu family! If Gu Jialiang hadn't told her about such a secret, how could Su Zitian have known about it? She could imagine the days when the young Gu Zhen was tied up here as a dog, sleeping in the doghouse, and being abused at will.

No wonder he was called a dog of the Gu family. Gu Zhen would terminate the cooperation with the Su family. Isn't this stepping on his minefield?

"The Gu family is really perverted!" Su Lingzhi was furious, especially when he saw the scars on the Tibetan Mastiff's body. When Gu Zhen was tied up as a dog, had he also been beaten like this by them?

She seemed to understand why Gu Zhen in the skit was such a sickly and crazy guy!

Gu Zhen raised his eyebrows and looked over, "My last name is Gu too!"

Su Lingzhi's eyes were more sincere, "Except for Mr. Gu!"
