Heir [Anti-Rebirth]

Chapter 52 Engagement

Gu Liwan and He Zhishu went to see Mr. Gu again.

The situation of Mr. Gu is much more serious than that of Gu Lichen. Seeing Mr. Gu lying on the bed and not being able to move, Gu Liwan felt very complicated.

When leaving the hospital, Gu Liwan remained silent. Seeing the old man paralyzed, unable to speak, and even looking older than ten years old, it was really sad.

He never thought that Mr. Gu would fall like this.

He sighed, and leaned against He Zhishu with a tired face, absorbing some warmth from his body.

He Zhishu didn't speak, but just put his arms around his shoulders so that he could lean more comfortably. The two of them sat in the back seat and walked back to He Zhishu's villa in silence.

Originally, the two had to go back to the company after going to the hospital, but He Zhishu saw that Gu Liwan was depressed, so he ordered the driver to go home directly.It wasn't until he returned to the villa and was pulled into the house by He Zhishu that Gu Liwan came to his senses.

"Why are you back? I have a meeting this afternoon." Gu Liwan was a little puzzled.

"You need to rest." He Zhishu said seriously as he sat him down on the sofa.

The two of them have been very busy these days, and their sleep time has been greatly reduced. For today's visit, Gu Liwan even put aside his work and squeezed out a whole morning.

He looked at Gu Liwan's face was too haggard, so he planned to let him have a good rest.

"The company still has a lot of things to do..." Gu Liwan wiped his face and said.

"There's no rush for that, your body is the most important." He Zhishu interrupted him and said with a strong attitude.

Gu Liwan sat on the sofa and felt tired for a while, so he didn't insist, and nodded in agreement with He Zhishu's request to sleep well at home.

But just as he got up to go back to his room, his phone rang.

He Zhishu frowned, took his mobile phone, and looked at the caller ID, it was Gu Liwan's assistant.

"I'll pick it up, you go to sleep." He Zhishu said warmly, and then connected the assistant's call.

Gu Liwan turned around obediently, and walked towards the second floor. He Zhishu asked in a low voice after he was sure he could no longer see Gu Liwan, "Have you detained him?"

The assistant on the phone said a few more words, and after He Zhishu heard this, he gave some instructions, then hung up the phone and left the villa in a hurry. ...

When Gu Li woke up late, it was already dark. He turned on the light in the room in the dark, stretched his waist, and felt much better.

He opened the door and found that the villa was pitch-black, and he was a little puzzled. Could it be that He Zhishu hasn't come back yet?

He went downstairs and turned on the light, and glanced at the clock on the wall, it was past seven o'clock.

Just as he was about to take out his mobile phone to make a call, he remembered that He Zhishu had answered a call for him at noon, and the mobile phone should be at He Zhishu's place.He scratched his head, walked to the landline, and dialed He Zhishu's cell phone.

The phone rang once before it was picked up, and He Zhishu's cold voice came, "Are you up? Have you eaten yet?"

"Just now, are you still in the company?" Gu Liwan yawned and asked.

"Well, there's something wrong with the company, but it's almost done. What do you want to eat? I'll bring it back to you." He Zhishu said warmly.

"It's all right, I'll wait for you." Gu Liwan said, after hanging up the phone, he walked to the sofa and sat down, picked up the TV remote control on the coffee table, turned on the TV and prepared to watch the news.

Unexpectedly, he had just turned on the TV, and the first news shocked him extremely.

Xu and Duan cooperated to launch a new brand, and now the news is broadcasting the brand launch event.Gu Liwan has no opinion on how many new brands Xu and Duan want to release, but the new brand they launched is actually very similar to Gu's design.

Whether it's the brand name or LOGO, it looks like Gu's fake version, and the new brand's clothes are very similar to Gu's.

When Gu Liwan saw it, his heart sank instantly. Xu Shi and Duan Shi announced the new brand first, clearly targeting Gu Shi and He Shi, because the clothes they launched, no matter the design or style, even the color They were all familiar to Gu Liwan.

It seems that there is a thief in the company.

With a sullen face, he called He Zhishu again.

"Did something happen to the company?" Gu Liwan asked directly after He Zhishu picked it up.

"...you know?" He Zhishu sighed.

"I just saw the news." Gu Liwan said coldly.

"At noon today, your assistant discovered that someone leaked company secrets. Although he was detained, the information has already been spread out." He Zhishu originally planned to tell Gu Liwan when he went home. knew.

"It seems that Xu and Duan are really unscrupulous." Gu Liwan exhaled irritably.

"Well, we robbed Xu's many projects before, and Duan's showed me many times, but I didn't respond. They should be in a hurry." He Zhishu said helplessly.

"I'll go now." After Gu Liwan finished speaking, without waiting for He Zhishu's response, he immediately hung up the phone, then got up and left the villa, and drove to Gu's enterprise. ...

******

The new brand jointly launched by Xu and Duan was well received.

They have opened up the market in the clothing industry and slowly entered the clothing industry. Although they are still unable to compete with other old brands, nor can they compete with He's, but for a new brand, the results are already quite good.

Xu's and Duan's have been in the limelight recently. In addition to the success of the new brand, there is also news that the two are going to marry.

Xu Zhiyao, the daughter of the Xu family, and Duan Jin, the young master of the Duan family, were forced to meet by the parents of the two families. Both parents were very satisfied with each other's children, so they began to prepare for the engagement banquet. ...

When the news came that Xu Zhiyao and Duan Jin were going to get engaged, He Zhishu froze for a moment.

He and Gu Liwan have been very busy with the leak of company secrets recently. In addition to trying their best to recover the losses, they also have to redesign a brand. The previous plan is no longer usable. Duan stole it all.

He and Gu Liwan led the project team and almost slept in the company during this period of time. Apart from designing a brand new project, they also had to guard against Xu's and Duan's tricks again.

Unexpectedly, he would draw attention to Xu's and Duan's movements, and he would hear the news that Xu Zhiyao was going to be engaged to Duan Jin.

Although he didn't know the entanglement between Xu Zhiyao and Duan Jin, he knew that they were strangers. How could such two people get back together again?

And after Duan Jin and Xu Zhiyao got married, what should Feng Jingxuan do?

He let out a heavy breath, took out his mobile phone and dialed Feng Jingxuan's number.

The phone rang two or three times before it was picked up. He Zhishu didn't know what to say. The news that the Xu family and the Duan family were going to get married was spreading wildly. Feng Jingxuan must have heard about it, right?

He cleared his throat and asked hesitantly, "Are you... all right?"

"Well, it couldn't be better." Feng Jingxuan said lazily, his tone sounded normal, but He Zhishu, who had known Feng Jingxuan for a long time, could still hear the loss hidden in it.

"Duan Jin is not in our circle, take this opportunity and completely forget about him." He Zhishu thought over and over again, and finally persuaded Feng Jingxuan.

"I forgot about it a long time ago." Feng Jingxuan said dryly, with a tone of trying to cover up.

"Well, that's good. I'm busy recently, so I'll leave the imperial dining room to you." He Zhishu didn't expose the other party, he knew Feng Jingxuan's strength and self-esteem, so he naturally changed the topic.

"Don't worry, the imperial dining room won't be collapsed." Feng Jingxuan said ruffiantly.

After caring about Feng Jingxuan, He Zhishu thought about it and called Duan Jin again.

Since he cooperated with Gu's and rejected the olive branch offered by Duan's, he and Duan Jin have reduced the number of contacts. The two did not want to involve their friendship in profit, so Duan Jin never approached him for Duan's.

This time, he was not looking for Duan Jin for the He family, but as a friend.

Duan Jin had already guessed the intention of He Zhishu's call, and after answering the call, he said lightly, "You heard that too?"

"Well, have you really made up your mind?" He Zhishu asked.

"I am the young master of the Duan family. The family needs me to get married, so I will get married, no matter who the bride is." Duan Jin's tone was flat, and he couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with this marriage.

"... I wish you a happy wedding." He Zhishu held back for a long time, and could only hold back this sentence of blessing, although he was not sure whether Duan Jin could really be happy.

"Hehe, you should congratulate me for getting what I wanted." Duan Jin joked with a smile, but there was no joy in his tone, which made He Zhishu frown secretly.

It sounds like Duan Jin is not particularly happy about being able to marry Xu Zhiyao.

He couldn't say anything more, so he chatted with Duan Jin again before hanging up the phone.

As soon as he hung up the phone, he looked up and saw Gu Liwan looking at him curiously. He smiled and explained, "The relationship between Duan Jin and Xu Zhiyao...is very complicated."

"They knew each other before? Is it true that they used to be lovers in the report?" Gu Liwan raised his eyebrows, and rarely opened his mouth to care about gossip.

"Didn't you dislike these gossips before?" He Zhishu was also surprised, he didn't expect Gu Liwan to be so concerned about the news of Duan Jin and Xu Zhiyao's marriage.

"Can you tell me about Duan Jin and Xu Zhiyao's past?" Gu Liwan didn't answer He Zhishu, but made a request instead.

"Why do you suddenly want to hear about their past?" Now He Zhishu was really surprised. Gu Liwan's attention to Xu Zhiyao and Duan Jin's relationship is too abnormal. Is there something he doesn't know about it? ?

"My brother had a girlfriend before, and I suspect it's Xu Zhiyao." Gu Liwan said in an astonishing way.

"Gu Lichen?" He Zhishu was taken aback, why not only Feng Jingxuan was involved in the matter of Duan Jin and Xu Zhiyao, but now there was another Gu Lichen.

"But this is just my guess." Gu Liwan shrugged. He remembered that when his brother was studying, he behaved very strangely for a while, became sneaky, and often hid and talked on the phone. He suspected that his brother was stealing Made a girlfriend, but has been unable to find evidence.

However, during this period of time, photos of Xu Zhiyao and Duan Jin were frequently reported, and one of Xu Zhiyao's photos awakened Gu Liwan's long-lasting memory.

He remembered that once he accidentally ran into his brother and a girl together, the two acted intimately, it seemed that they were a pair of lovers.It was also because of that accidental encounter that he suspected that his brother had secretly made a girlfriend.

Although he didn't see the girl's front face, but that side face, thinking about it now, seemed to be Xu Zhiyao.

But he wasn't sure yet, so he wanted to find out from He Zhishu. After all, apart from that encounter, he had never seen Gu Lichen with a girl since then.

After hearing his explanation, He Zhishu frowned, feeling that there was a mess between Duan Jin and Xu Zhiyao, besides Feng Jingxuan, there was another Gu Lichen now.

Therefore, his impression of Xu Zhiyao was even worse.
