pretending to be graceful

Jian Jia Cang Cang, white dew is frost.

The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side.

Gu Changming is not a person with a literary atmosphere, and he would find it boring to put any beautiful poems on him.When I was in school, talking about the first sentence of "Jian Jia" was a way of getting up, and Gu Changming was even more impatient—it’s okay if you’re not idle, and you can’t just say something if you have something to say.If you have this skill, do something wrong.

——But when that woman strolled over with a yellowed oil-paper umbrella, this poem suddenly appeared in Gu Changming's mind.

The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side.

The rain that day was actually not heavy at all, and it was sporadic, which could be ignored in Gu Shuiqing's view - under normal circumstances, it is hypocritical to open an umbrella - so what Gu Changming admired the most was the rain around him. A female subordinate who runs through the rain without changing her face.

But she is different.

She wore a white skirt that day, the style was simple and elegant, in the eyes of Gu Changming, a man without aesthetics, the only adjective was "good-looking".Holding on to the umbrella that was somewhat "out of date", she walked slowly, in stark contrast to the hurried pedestrians beside her.

Then, Gu Changming's restless heart suddenly calmed down.

The dusty aura of that woman seemed to be the best tranquilizer, and Gu Changming's heartbeat became regular and steady following her slow pace.

Gu Changming, who doesn't know what is slow, learned at that moment without a teacher——

For so many years of his life, he has been fighting, working hard, and proving himself. It seems that he will be left behind if he stops for a while, and he will miss a lot.He can't slow down.

But at that moment, everything around him slowed down.

Then the woman walked up to him step by step, closed her umbrella, and stopped.Then, a hand was placed on her shoulder, and the owner of that hand said to him, "Brother, this is my girlfriend, Jiang Fang."

Then he said to the woman: "Fang Fang, this is my elder brother, Gu Changming."

She raised her head slightly, her smile was shallow, and she was a little empty: "Brother."

——The so-called Iraqis are on the water side.

It turned out to be on the water side.

Later, Gu Changming recalled that first meeting countless times, and he didn't know how to describe the feeling at that moment.The only thing that was certain was that he was really tempted, and fell in love with Jiang Fang at first sight.

Unfortunately, this is bound to end without a problem.

"Let's go, don't stand here, go upstairs to my office and say it." Gu Changming acted vigorously and resolutely, and when he received people, he didn't greet people much, and went upstairs directly.

Gu Changyi went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and the relationship between the two brothers has never been good. This time when he came to see him, Gu Changming didn't see each other well, but it's hard to say whether he will help or not.

Going upstairs, Gu Changming understood Gu Changyi's eyes, and asked Secretary Li to show Jiang Fang around, and then he and Gu Changyi went to the living room.

He cut straight to the point: "Let's have something to say."

The little assistant knocked on the door and came in, put down two cups of tea, Gu Changyi took it, and nodded to her, "Thank you." Gu Changming waved her out.

Gu Changyi sighed: "Brother, I said you shouldn't do this, my assistant..."

"Is this my place or yours?" Gu Changming frowned, thinking that the other party was his younger brother after all, and swallowed the sentence "None of your business, if you want to take care of people, go back to your own place".

Gu Changyi silently shut up, not wanting to confront his brother.

The three of Gu's father and son, because of Gu Changming's presence, hardly ever get along with each other in harmony.Since he was a child, Gu Changming was a typical representative of rebellion, he was not allowed to do whatever he wanted, and his rebellious period did not coincide with adolescence. His old man's rebellious period lasted from babbling to his thirties.

As a traditional family, the Gu family believes in Confucianism. They always seek respect and thrift in everything they do. The scene they most want to see is brothers and friends respecting their father, loving their son and filial piety, and they have to drag a bunch of relatives along.

Gu Changming has long been tired of this.He only cares about right and wrong, right and wrong, how much he contributes, and he doesn't care who you are, just get out.Mr. Gu thought he was too utilitarian, but Gu Changming didn't think so.With the development of the times, the older generation will be eliminated sooner or later, and the family business will not survive to the end.

In the process of such constant disputes, Gu Liang gave an ultimatum - if you are so stubborn again, stop being a descendant of my Gu family, and stop enjoying the glory and wealth that the Gu family brought to you.

As a result, Gu Changming patted his ass and left.He was tired of the feeling of dragging a big family around, and he was happy to work alone.

As a result, he worked it out alone, lived a decent life, and was no longer swayed by Gu Liang.Of course, since the day he became independent, he has completely broken with the Gu family.

The only connection between Gu Changming and the Gu family is Gu Changyi. Of course, in most cases, Gu Changyi took the initiative to contact him, trying to ease the relationship between him and his family, and then was dismissed by Gu Changming in a few words.

But this time, he was asking for his help when something happened—Gu Changming had an intuition that this matter was unusual: "Okay, let's just talk about it."

Gu Changyi turned the cup in his hand: "Just now, you also saw... I made a girlfriend, Jiang Fang."

Gu Changming was in a trance for a moment.

"I met her when I was visiting Province Z. I... like her very much, and I believe she loves me very much. I am going to marry her." Gu Changyi's eyes lit up.

Gu Changming understood.

His younger brother is different from him, he is a person who grows up completely according to his father's needs.Gu Changyi is extremely particular about his words and deeds, and has lived his life so strictly, never out of line.The future has also been precisely planned. If there is no accident, Gu Liang will slowly transfer the business in his hands to him. He will be the next helm of Gu's industry.

Who should such a person marry as his wife?

Gu Changming didn't even need to think about what the daughter-in-law in Gu Liang's mind would look like: everyone was born, and the two families would definitely be able to help each other in business. A good wife and mother...etc.

But Jiang Fang... Gu Changming didn't think she could satisfy any point.

Encounter on the road, love at first sight - this is definitely not a script that Gu Liang can accept.And being able to come back directly with Gu Changyi like this, Gu Changming guessed that she was from an ordinary background.As for An'an being at home, taking care of her husband and raising her children... Gu Changming laughed even more.Although it was just the first meeting, he didn't think Jiang Fang would be content with such a life.She is out of the dust and aloof, she should not just be a good wife and mother.Not worth it.

And his younger brother, who never resisted Gu Liang, wanted to marry Jiang Fang - Gu Changming had to say, isn't this a dream?

He was merciless: "What's the matter, you want me to be a lobbyist? Are you not afraid of side effects?"

"No," Gu Changyi was a little hard to say: "I mean, can you do something more deviant, and then..."

"Then it seems that you are quite normal? Maybe he agreed with a twitch of his head?" Gu Changming laughed angrily, "Gu Changyi, obviously you have been with the old man for a long time, why don't you know him well? Don't say I don't know how to do this kind of thing, even if I am willing to do it, do you think his reaction is to forgive you? No, he will count the crimes and punish him even more violently. Oh, by the way, I also remind you not to take Names like 'the only heir' force him to go. Although I won't go back, even if he adopts a child from an uncle, he will not allow himself to have a disobedient heir. If you really want to Get rid of him, then get ready to leave the house."

Gu Changming would not be angry for a long time because of the mess of the Gu family. Hearing that his younger brother asked him so much, he just lit a cigarette and took it easy.

He even said that he was utilitarian and that he was unreasonable?I don't know who gave the face by tm.A hypocritical and selfish family, he left early and was quiet.

Naturally, they parted on bad terms.

Gu Changyi didn't pay attention to what happened.He was so busy all day that he didn't have time or bored enough to disgust himself.

And of course they won't come to tell him what's going on.After all, Gu Changyi had offended him thoroughly, so it was impossible for him to rush to scold him.Without this person who worked so hard to match, Gu Changming devoted himself even more to his career.

If he has the courage to come out, he has the confidence to create his own business myth.

When he was exposed to these things again, he was summoned home by the old man.

Although Gu Changming had many disagreements with him in terms of ideas and viewpoints, since he was a family member after all, since Gu Liang had spoken, he couldn't stand it up.Anyway, the worst thing is another big fight, and he didn't take it seriously all these years.

Stepping into the door of Gu's family, a sense of decay began to penetrate Gu Changming's body.This feeling is really persistent and annoying.

Gu Liang also knew that there was nothing to talk nonsense with this son, so he just picked up dry goods and said, "Did your brother look for you?"

"Yeah, I didn't agree to ask me for help. I'm too lazy to get involved in these matters, so just tell him and it's over." Gu Changming leaned on the sofa by himself, not looking at his face.

Gu Liang knew that it wasn't worth getting angry with him, so he calmed down: "I'm sure I can't communicate well with him now, so you can act as a mouthpiece for me and tell him clearly about the pros and cons. I'm not threatening him either. He had to understand the moment I took care of the family, and now he would be stupid if he wanted to have everything at the same time."

So, when he left that day, Gu Changming took a photo and called Gu Changyi after a few months: "I have something to tell you, come to my company."

Not seeing each other for a few months, Gu Changyi has become rather haggard.Although this young master doesn't waste money, he has never been treated badly, and everything he uses is the best.Leaving home, not to mention the mood, even the standard of living has dropped a lot.

Gu Changming didn't want to hear his apology and didn't bother to listen to complaints, so he handed a photo to Gu Changyi: "I heard from my father about the recent incident. Actually, I admire you a little bit, and you actually got into a fight with him. It seems that you I really like her. Then Dad came to me and asked me to analyze the stakes for you. "

"Don't worry, I'm not a lobbyist. I hate being a villain for others. I just want to convey it. First of all, as I told you at the beginning, he doesn't care about the heir. This can't be a reason to threaten him, and he also gave up An ultimatum—at the end of this month, um, there are still seven days left, you must separate from Jiang Fang," he pointed to the photo again, "well, he said he was reminded by you, It's time for you to get married too, he thinks this girl is pretty good, her name and contact information are all written on the back of the photo. It is said that you should know her?"

Gu Changyi used so much force that the photo was torn apart. Gu Changming Quan pretended not to see it: "He said, being forced by you like this, he didn't dare to give you a grace period. Hurry up after the engagement and marriage, so as to avoid future troubles." .Anyway, the other party has no objection, just waiting for you to nod. He didn’t bother to tell me, but in summary, it’s all beneficial and harmless, which is in stark contrast to you now. He also asked me to tell you that love is useful for everything. No, don't be too persistent."

"...That's because he doesn't understand." Gu Changyi's words seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth.

Gu Changming smiled: "He doesn't understand, but he is living a good life. You understand, what's the use of you knowing? If you don't have the ability, it's useless to say anything." If you want to have a space for free choice, be independent Bar.

He didn't say the second half of the sentence, because he intuitively said it would be useless.

Gu Changming, who was the mouthpiece, saw off the guests after delivering the message, but after Gu Changyi left, he sat quietly for a long time.When Secretary Li came to deliver the meeting minutes to him, he was still in deep thought.Secretary Li didn't want to disturb him, and wanted to leave after putting down the documents, but he didn't want to be stopped by Chief Gu's name.

"President Gu, what are your orders?"

Gu Changming, an incomprehensible man, asked a question that he never paid attention to: "You women...if you love a man very much, but his family disagrees, what will happen?"

As an older single woman, Secretary Li replied without thinking: "Look at that man's attitude. If it was me, if he loves me and is willing to resist, then I will carry it with him no matter what; and if he chooses to compromise, I will of course I won't let it go. My love is not that cheap."

Gu Changming thought for a moment and let her go out.

What's the point of asking?Everyone is different and responds differently.Even if he could predict what Gu Changyi would do, he didn't know how to measure the depth of this love.

The final result was not surprising - Gu Changming received an invitation to his younger brother's engagement wedding.He knew from the very beginning that Gu Changyi couldn't let go of his inheritance.He may be capable, but he lacks courage, and he dare not let go of those things that start all over again.

It's just a pity for Jiang Fang.

That is a captivating woman.

Gu Changming didn't bother to go to the engagement, so he asked the secretary to seal a gift and send it to him, even if he had fulfilled his wish of being a big brother.He didn't understand the bride, but the groom was forced to do everything, and he knew there was nothing interesting about it.

Unexpectedly, on that day, a woman found him - Jiang Fangfang.

Gu Changming knew that he might be under some kind of spell. He couldn't refuse this woman at all. When he heard the call from the front desk to inquire, he said that he would let her come up when he was free, and then asked the secretary to postpone the meeting for a day.

Jiang Fang has not changed much.Compared with his downcast appearance when he saw Gu Changyi last time, this woman didn't seem to be affected by anything.She was calm and elegant, with a smile on her lips—but the arrogance in her empty eyes was tinged with indifference.

Gu Changming spoke carefully: "Miss Jiang, this matter actually has nothing to do with me, and I have no ability to change anything...Maybe you have also heard Gu Changyi say about our family, and I will only add fuel to the fire."

Jiang Fang listened silently, and then said lightly, "You misunderstood, and I didn't want to redeem anything. I came here for a while, and I didn't believe in evil for a while. In fact, I had expected the ending a long time ago. I also admitted it. I I always knew that he would choose this way, but he just wanted to gamble and lose. It can be regarded as a kind of life experience."

At this moment, Gu Changming knew that his feeling was right.Jiang Fang's all-or-nothing insistence was not in his imagination.

"I've gambled enough, and I'm going to leave if I lose." She smiled, "Since he is willing, I'll give him a try. He's gone, so I'll withdraw. I just ask you to tell your father, I Jiang Yifang is neither that cheap nor that stupid, I leave as soon as I say, I will never learn to entangle this thing in my life. People who have failed me so badly are not worthy of my continued love."

Her voice was very soft, but it hit Gu Changming's heart hard.

Gu Changming thought, he really fell into it.Step by step deeper.

He, who has always been a meddle in other people's business, approached his father whom he avoided for Jiang Yifang: "Your son is crazy and turns back on what he says, so what's the matter with other girls? He's obviously a victim of being cheated. Where do you have the face to force other girls?" of?"

Although Gu Liang didn't understand why he was so excited, he replied in a normal way: "Although Gu Changyi is engaged, I know he won't let it go. As long as I let him go, he will definitely go out and look for it."

"If he is willing to look for it, it depends on whether the girl is willing to talk to him."

"Why don't you want to? He has money and looks, what's not worth it? Anyway, she has nothing to do with me, and Gu Changyi is my son, it's as simple as that. As long as he finds his way back, I'm of course willing to protect him," Gu Liang suddenly Looking at Gu Changming, he smiled, "If you are willing to come back, I am also willing to protect you."

Gu Changming sneered: "No, I'm disgusting."

This is the so-called Gu family, and this is the so-called traditional and harmonious family.It's just disgusting.

Gu Changming didn't get entangled with Gu Liangduo, because he knew that this person would not change his mental behavior.

He reluctantly contacted Jiang Fang and told him that he had conveyed it, but Gu Liang might not let it go easily.

Jiang Fang smiled on the other end of the phone: "It turns out that my bet not only completely lost the principal, but also cost my future life."

"What's going on?" Gu Changming frowned.The last time Jiang Fang came over, he just asked briefly, without understanding what happened, "What happened?"

"Your dear father, maybe someone is watching me. I feel that people are watching me when I go out and go in, and there are always people who make trouble where I live. I have moved home twice. Oh, it may be soon It’s the third time I’ve moved in, and the landlord just informed me that the house will be taken back, and I can be compensated for liquidated damages.” Jiang Fang said lightly.

"Where's going back?" he asked.

"Why? I've already gotten into my love, so should I give up my career? I have a good job and income, and I think it's good to be here, so why should I be forced to leave by him?" One side can also be forced to get a little angry, and when it comes to excitement, the tone becomes mocking, "It's my fault that I fell in love with him, I admit it. But I gave up, why do you want to kill them all?"

Gu Changming was silent for a while: "That's why I have to leave." He thought for a while, "Well, I'll help you rent a house and find a place."

"Why, do you want to pay for the good things your brother and father did?"

Gu Changming said, I am too lazy to care about those two bastards. "It's a family after all," he said.

When Gu Changming thought about it later, he regretted his duplicity at that time.That might be his first chance to show his heart, and it was completely wasted... Oh, it's not the last.

Facts have proved that Jiang is still old and hot, and Gu Changming back then is still no match for his father.Jiang Yifang's life has improved, but only a little - it's all because Gu Changyi, who is married, is still restless. He finds Jiang Yifang every day and tells Jiang Yifang that although he compromised, his love will not change. Category.

Jiang Fang sneered and turned him away, but Gu Liang didn't believe that Jiang Fang could really resist Gu Changyi's attack.

Jiang Yifang is in the isolated and helpless capital, with only two friends at his fingertips.One is Gu Changming, this man who takes care of her inexplicably.The other is Zhang Jing.

When Gu Changyi brought her home, he deliberately chose a time when there were guests at home, hoping that Gu Liang could save some face because of this.

Then that "guest" is Zhang Jing.

Miss Zhang was never on Gu Liang's "sister-in-law candidate list", so she acted without any scruples, expressing her affection for Jiang Fang from the first meeting.After coming and going, the two became friends without knowing how.

When Jiang Fang was the most lonely and helpless before she went to find Gu Changming, it was Zhang Jing who supported her in the capital.

When Jiang Fang was too bored to hide and was in a bad mood, he would invite Zhang Jing and Gu Changming to have afternoon tea, usually near Gu Changming's company, in case he needed to rush back for some urgent work.

She complained that Gu Changyi went to her work place to beg again, saying that getting married was just a stopgap measure, and she asked Jiang Fang to wait for him.

Jiang Yifang curled his lips: "Who does he think he is? I was willing to let my feelings be wasted by him before, but now I don't want to accompany him. It's ridiculous that his father is always on guard against me not going back to seduce his son."

Zhang Jing laughed loudly: "The more he lived, the more confused he became. Back then, he wanted to match me with this—" She patted Gu Changming on the shoulder, "He just slapped him back with a few words. Alas, Mr. Gu If you have a lot of capital and don't rely on him, you can naturally ignore his face. As for me, Gu Liang later found out that I am such a person, so maybe he has the right to think that he is blind."

Gu Changming didn't talk much, he just listened to the two chatting.

Zhang Jing gave her an idea: "Hey, let me tell you, why don't you find someone to marry? Maybe someone Gu can let you go if you get married."

"Who should I marry? If I marry someone I don't love, I won't be happy, and it will be a drag on others." Jiang Fang shook his head, "And, do you think that old man Gu Liang can let me go after I marry? That's a An absolute conspiracy theorist, how can you figure me out if you are not sure."

Gu Changming, who had been responding in silence all this time, suddenly said, "What about me?"

"what?"

"Will you marry me?"

Later, after going through various twists and turns, Jiang Yifang still married Gu Changming.

She was probably really tired too, tired of dealing with that lunatic father and son.She was an ordinary woman from Yuzhen, and she couldn't beat them.Since Gu Changming made such a suggestion, she has nothing against it.Marrying Gu Changming is indeed the best choice - doing so will break Gu Changyi's thoughts and make Gu Liang completely give up dealing with her.

As for whether there is love?No one asked.

This is like a tacit understanding between them, no one cares, and the right is the default.

Gu Changming did not confess his love from the beginning to the end, and Jiang Fang never asked Gu Changming why he wanted to marry her from the beginning to the end.She didn't really care anyway.After all, if Gu Changming proposed to terminate the relationship one day, she would agree without hesitation.

Since she can solve the trouble, she is also happy to ignore the reason.

Few people know about their relationship, apart from the "instigator" Zhang Jing, there are also Gu Changming's family members.After all, letting them know is the purpose.

So as expected at the time, Gu Changyi rushed to Gu Changming like crazy, and punched his brother hard—then he was stopped by the security: "You bastard! Why are you!"

Gu Changming touched his face, and his tone was indifferent: "You asked me why? If you hadn't let go, would such a day have happened? You don't blame yourself, why did you come to me to force you?"

"It's me she loves! It's always been me! Do you know what she has sacrificed for me? She can't give up, she can't wait for me!"

Gu Changming smiled: "Then you don't understand her too much. She can give up those things for you, but she can also give up you completely because of your disappointment." He has always known who Jiang Fang loves.Such a cold and proud woman, if she is willing to leave Yuzhen to gamble on this game, and if she is willing to step into Gu's house, she is already deeply in love.Poor Gu Changyi didn't cherish it.

"Are you capable of protecting her? You have hurt her badly, and you still don't know how to repent. Let your noble father push you every step of the way. Is this your love? Apart from saying 'wait' you still What can I do? Gu Changyi, do you know why I left the Gu family? It's not just that I think the family's lifeless business philosophy is incompatible with it, it's more that I'm sick of this kind of hypocrisy." Gu Changming knew that it would be okay if he didn't tear himself apart at this time. It makes sense, "Think carefully about what you have done? What kind of face do you have to question me? You, and the entire Gu family, stay away from me."

Wedding - if it can be called a wedding, then on the wedding day, there is only one guest.That is Zhang Jing.

The three of them found a quiet place to have a meal, which was regarded as a celebration.

Zhang Jing raised her glass: "I know what's going on with you, so I don't wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years. So, congratulations to one party for getting out of the sea of ​​suffering, and congratulations to Young Master Gu for getting out of being single."

The three of them clinked glasses, just like the previous parties - oh, it's different.

How has life changed after marriage?Actually no.The two lived no differently from when they were single, Gu Changming was busy with his work, and Jiang Fang was doing her career.After all, there is no emotional foundation, and this marriage exists in name only.Fortunately, the original intention was realized, and Gu Liang and Gu Changyi did not interfere with their lives anymore.Gu Changyi went back to his family, so the relationship with Gu Liang was no longer hard, and he slowly entered Gu's work, walking back to the path he should have taken.

But Gu Changming also found sadly that he and Jiang Fang could no longer be friends.

Jiang Yifang would no longer complain to him after something happened, and they were no longer a person who could have dinner together when they were busy, but became an awkward couple.

Even, Jiang Fang didn't mind fulfilling family obligations, and didn't mind being a real wife-then they had a pair of twins.

Jiang Yifang doesn't understand feelings - oh, it shouldn't be said that, after all, she once loved someone seriously, so it can only be said that she no longer gives feelings.Whether it's for Gu Changming or for the two children.Gu Changming could see that Gu Shuiqing was worried about his family.

But what can he do?This marriage was deformed from the very beginning, and it didn't take love as the premise. How could it be expected that children would grow up in love—he knew it early on.Jiang Fang married him to seek stability, which he could afford; he married Jiang Fang because of love, and Jiang Fang could not repay him.

Not to mention, he never wanted to tell her.I don't know if he didn't want to burden Jiang Fang, or he was afraid that if he spread it out, Jiang Fang would leave.

It's not that if Gu Changming doesn't say anything, this peace can always be whitewashed.

Gu Liang is dead.

In the seventh year after Gu Changming married Jiang Fang, Gu Liang died of lung cancer.

The father who single-handedly caused the tragic marriage of his two sons died after all.

Two things happened after his death: first, Gu Changyi got divorced.Of course, because his wife was pregnant, there was no divorce; second, Jiang Fang resigned.No one can control her, so naturally she resigned.

Gu Changming thought to himself, oh, finally this day has come.He has also known for a long time that his father is the pressure on Jiang Fang, and now that the pressure is gone, she is relieved.I have no right to ask for anything.

Jiang Fang said that she wanted to go back to Yuzhen.

Gu Changming said, oh, you should take one of that child away.I hope you can live well in the future.

Then Jiang Fang chose the more calm Gu Shuiqing.

On the day Jiang Fang left, Zhang Jing was the only one to see her off—she had only one friend left in the capital for nearly eight years.But for Jiang Fang, who is cold-hearted, it seems that it is not too little.There could have been two, but she lost one in the middle.

Zhang Jing helped her lead Gu Shuiqing: "I have a question, I have been wondering for so many years. You are leaving, I have to ask."

"You ask." The moment he chose to leave, Jiang Yifang's insignificant human flavor faded a bit.

"Why do you think Gu Changming married you back then? Let's analyze it. First, he is gay and needs someone to help him cover up his identity. You have been together for so many years and even have children. Do you make your own judgment? I tend not to." ;Second, he married the woman his brother loved in order to avenge his younger brother. I don't think Gu Changming has any feelings for the Gu family other than disdain; third..."

"Who knows." Jiang Fang interrupted flatly, "After all, it's almost over."

Zhang Jing sighed: "I thought you could go on like this... Isn't it good. Who would have thought that it would stop abruptly."

Jiang Yifang lowered his head and straightened his luggage without answering.

Zhang Jing shook her head, and handed Gu Shuiqing to her: "I wish you good luck and everything goes well. I like Yuzhen, and I will go back to find you when I have time."

Jiang Fang chuckled at her, turned around and walked towards the security checkpoint.Hiring Tingting is like back then.

"third……"

Third, he loves you.

The author has something to say:

In fact, this story is not over yet, and it should be completed in other places in the future, so stay tuned!
