mutual benefit [gl]

This weekend is the day for Chen Yuanzhen to try on the wedding dress.

The only daughter of the Chen Group is going to get married, and all the things that are used are naturally the best. As a bride, the most important wedding dress, of course, cannot be sloppy.

The cost of custom-made wedding dresses shipped by air from France has reached hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is enough for ordinary people to buy a fairly spacious house in a second-tier city.

Wearing a suit of clothes, Chen Yuanzhen stood in front of the mirror with a sneer on his face.

It really stinks of rich wine and meat.

"How is it?" She looked at her slender figure in the mirror, and frivolously asked Gao Xiu, who was sitting behind her expressionlessly.

"It's enough if you think it's good." Gao Xiu said coldly.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, the staff at the side quickly stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "Miss Chen, you have a good figure and good looks. Of course, you look good no matter what you wear."

Chen Yuanzhen didn't accept the waiter's favor, she turned to look at Gao Xiu, folded her arms and sneered:

"What's your grievance? Didn't you agree very readily at the beginning? What's the matter, are you playing your temper now?"

Gao Xiu smiled when he heard the words, he stood up and walked in front of Chen Yuanzhen, looked up and down Chen Yuanzhen in a serious way with his trousers pocket, and then said:

"It's beautiful, so beautiful that I can't take my eyes off it."

The moment the unfriendly eyes of the two collided, they began to confront each other silently. After a moment of stalemate, Chen Yuanzhen gradually restrained his smile.

"You go down." She looked at Gao Xiu, but said to the waiter at the side.

Knowing that these two people are masters who are not easy to mess with and should not be messed with, the waiter has long wanted to escape, but he has no chance.Now that Chen Yuanzhen asked her to leave, she naturally wished for it.

After the waiter left, only Chen Yuanzhen and Gao Xiu were left in the VIP room.

"Now there is no one else, so if you have anything to say, just say it." Chen Yuanzhen said.

"I ask you, do you really want to marry me?"

Hearing this question again, Gao Xiu pulled the bow tie around his neck impatiently.

"It doesn't matter what you and I think," he said.

"But we don't love each other. This ridiculous marriage will only be a shackle on us!" Chen Yuanzhen said with a raised voice.

"In love?" Gao Xiu sneered noncommittally, "Chen Yuanzhen, marriage is a contract, and it is no different from the kind of contract signed by Party A and Party B. Let me ask you, when you sign the contract, you still fall in love with your Party B ?"

"Why do you obey him like this?!"

Hearing this, Gao Xiu suddenly turned his face away, he instinctively reached into his pocket to touch the cigarette, but at this moment his pocket was empty.

"Damn it." He cursed in a low voice, turned and looked out the window.

"The chemical plant exploded... Your parents died in that accident, right?" Looking at Gao Xiu's back, Chen Yuanzhen asked slowly.

Immediately afterwards, she saw Gao Xiu's back froze, as if he had been hit hard from behind, his shoulder blades, which could be seen even though he was wrapped in a suit, suddenly moved upwards, and his lowered hands gradually clenched into fists.

She knew that she had touched Gao Xiu's sore spot.

"Is that explosion really an accident?" She asked again.

Gao Xiu didn't turn around, so Chen Yuanzhen couldn't see his expression at this time, nor could he judge his current mood from it.

But this is the last chance, Chen Yuanzhen doesn't want to give up.

"He provides you with education and trains you. These are not favors." Chen Yuanzhen's bloodshot eyes fixed on Gao Xiu's spine, and she walked towards him gradually until she could reach out and touch him.

"It's redemption..."

She said, putting her hand on his shoulder lightly.

But at this moment, Gao Xiu turned around suddenly, and when Chen Yuanzhen was completely unprepared, he suddenly grabbed Chen Yuanzhen's bare neck and pressed it against the wall.

The spine hit the cold wall heavily, and a piercing pain hit Chen Yuanzhen's brain along the back. Her face wrinkled due to the pain, and she struggled to open her eyes. She met Gao Xiu's scarlet eyes.

Because he had been suppressing the anger in his heart, Gao Xiu's breathing sound was particularly obvious at this moment, his chest heaved violently, and the hand pinching Chen Yuanzhen's neck tightened little by little.

At this time, Chen Yuanzhen couldn't feel anything other than the pain. She resisted the pain and pulled out a desperate smile.

"Okay, you can kill me, it's better than letting me lose my freedom!"

Hearing Chen Yuanzhen's words, Gao Xiu's pupils shrank suddenly. He finally woke up from the rage, and gradually let go of the hand that was holding Chen Yuanzhen's throat, and finally dropped it in despair.

Finally able to breathe smoothly again, Chen Yuanzhen clutched his neck violently and coughed violently. Seeing this, Gao Xiu took a few steps back and looked irritably at Chen Yuanzhen who had bent over from coughing.

"You bastard." After finally coughing, Chen Yuanzhen said hoarsely, feeling that his throat was no longer so sore.

"I'm not that stupid." Gao Xiu looked down at Chen Yuanzhen, "Also, stop trying to explore my past."

"Why, are you afraid?" Chen Yuanzhen smiled contemptuously.

"Yes."

Unexpectedly, Gao Xiu admitted it very readily, which made Chen Yuanzhen stunned.

"I'm fine now, the hate and the pain have been forgotten by me, and I don't want to think about it again. So please, if you want to do something, please don't pull me."

After saying that, he tore off his bow tie and threw it on the ground. He looked at Chen Yuanzhen's neck again, and he could still vaguely see the pinch marks left by him.Gao Xiu frowned, supported his forehead and said:

"I'll tell them I'm not doing well and the wedding photos will be taken next week."

After all, Gao Xiu didn't look at Chen Yuanzhen again, and went straight to the door, opened it and left.

When the door of the VIP room was closed again, Chen Yuanzhen closed his eyes in pain.

A week before the wedding, Chen Yuanzhen and Gao Xiu took wedding photos.

Unlike other people who are about to get married who will sweetly take several groups of photos, there is only one photo of the two of them standing side by side in wedding gowns, and the eyes of the two are the same deep and sad, as if they are about to go to the execution ground. There is no joy and sweetness of being married at all.

Although this photo was very embarrassing, Chen Zhishan was noncommittal after seeing it, and even made it public directly, as if he didn't care about the feelings of the two protagonists at all.

Ji Cixi received the wedding invitation almost at the same time she saw this photo.

The invitation was sent by someone sent by Gao Xiu, under the guise of inviting his wife's best friend to the wedding and giving his wife a surprise.

Ji Cixi can bet that Chen Yuanzhen knows nothing about it.
