Chapter 675 Taking it back from you
Chapter 675 Taking it back from you
Fan Qianqian pursed her lips, feeling somewhat hesitant.
She felt that she was now practically half the wife of the president of Gu's Company.
There is no need to blindly obey Chen Ziqi.
But since we had worked together before, I thought I'd reluctantly make the trip.
So, Fan Qianqian looked at Gu Sili and said, "I have an urgent matter at work, so I have to go back first."
Gu Sili said considerately, "I'll take you."
"No need,"
Fan Qianqian quickly refused, her smile impeccable, "I can do it myself. And don't forget what you promised me."
"it is good."
Gu Sili did not insist, but simply watched her disappear around the corner of the corridor.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then turned and walked towards the restroom.
In the women's restroom.
The cool water flowed over the back of my hand.
Yun Ning scooped up a handful and splashed it hard on her face.
The cold water made her shiver slightly, but it couldn't take away the burning pain in her heart.
She leaned against the sink, slowly raised her head, and looked at herself in the mirror.
Her face was as pale as paper, her eyes were red-rimmed, and her wet black hair clung to her cheeks; she looked disheveled and vulnerable.
"Baby, I'm sorry, I made you suffer again today..."
Yun Ning stroked her lower abdomen and murmured silently, "But for you, Mom will be strong."
Yes.
No matter how much pain or despair she felt, she couldn't give up.
Taking a deep breath, Yun Ning carefully dried her face and hands with a tissue, straightened her clothes, and tried to regain some dignity.
Just as she turned around, a familiar figure appeared in the mirror reflection.
It’s Gu Sili.
He stood there, silent, just looking at her.
His deep eyes seemed to hold suppressed turbulent waves, or a desolate wasteland shrouded in thick fog, so complex that they were impossible to decipher.
Yun Ning's heart skipped a beat.
The newly built barrier almost collapsed again.
She clenched her fists tightly, using the pain to remind herself.
This cannot go on.
Yun Ning lowered her eyes and turned to walk past him.
An arm came across and blocked her way.
Her wrist was gripped by a man, his heat scorching.
Yun Ning tried to pull away as if she had been burned, but he held her even tighter.
She finally raised her eyes and looked into his.
The pain, struggle, and contradictions churning within it.
Even his forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, as if he were fighting a desperate battle with some invisible force.
But all of this, in Yun Ning's eyes at this moment, only looked ironic.
This man has kicked her out and declared that he wants to sever all ties with her. He even wants to have a baby with Fan Qianqian!
What are you asking her to act in now?
Yun Ning's voice was hoarse, yet unusually clear and calm: "You should be able to find my brother's address. Just send the divorce papers there. Gu Sili, there's nothing more to say between us."
After speaking, she stopped looking at any change in his expression and turned away resolutely.
In the instant they brushed past each other, she seemed to hear a very faint, suppressed breath coming from his throat.
It seemed as if he wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a silent, suffocating silence.
Yun Ning straightened her back and walked step by step toward the light at the other end of the corridor, never looking back.
Gu Sili stood frozen in place.
He stared intently at that increasingly distant, frail figure, and deep in his eyes, the instinctive love forcibly suppressed by the virus almost tore him apart.
But he couldn't make a sound or take a step.
He could only watch helplessly as she disappeared from his sight.
……
The top floor of the Chen Group building.
Chen Ziqi was facing away from the door, looking out at the gray sky.
The city felt oppressive and gloomy under the dark clouds, much like his current state of mind.
I thought that with Gu Wei's help, we could achieve a resounding victory.
The company's joy lasted only a few seconds before it suffered such a devastating blow!
What bad luck!
At this moment, Fan Qianqian pushed the door open and came in.
She looked somewhat impatient and asked bluntly, "You wanted to see me?"
Chen Ziqi slowly turned around, his gaze lingering on her for a moment.
Fan Qianqian has been dressing more and more elegantly lately.
Wearing a haute couture suit of the season and carrying a limited-edition Birkin bag.
Even her hair was meticulously styled into the most fashionable curls.
Most importantly, it was the look in her eyes.
That former caution has been replaced by undisguised smugness.
"sit."
Chen Ziqi pointed to the chair opposite him, his voice calm and even.
Fan Qianqian did not sit down as instructed.
She strolled to the floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the view outside: "The view is indeed quite good. However, the view from Gu Sili's office is even better; it's on the top floor of Gu's building, and you can even see the entire financial district."
She turned around, a slight smile playing on her red lips. "Why did you call me here in such a hurry? What's the matter?"
Chen Ziqi's eyes deepened.
He picked up the coffee cup on the table, took a small sip, and said, "My biotechnology company has run into trouble. You should have seen the news."
"Oh, that one."
Fan Qianqian casually tidied her nails. "I've heard about it. Illegal human experimentation? Chen Ziqi, you've gone too far."
"I need Gu Sili's help."
Chen Ziqi put down his cup and looked directly into her eyes. "Use the resources and connections of the Gu family to help me suppress this matter, or at least buy time for the investigation."
Fan Qianqian finally sat down, crossing her legs gracefully, and tapped her fingers lightly on her knees: "Well... I'll mention it to Sili."
"I need a specific time."
Chen Ziqi leaned forward. "Something must be done within three days."
"Three days?"
Fan Qianqian chuckled lightly, her tone laced with undisguised sarcasm, "Chen Ziqi, are you ordering me around now?"
The air suddenly solidified.
Chen Ziqi narrowed his eyes, sizing up the woman in front of him.
In just a few days.
Her disguise has been completely stripped away, revealing her shallow and arrogant core.
Chen Ziqi sneered inwardly, but outwardly patiently explained, "I'm just reminding you of our cooperative relationship."
"A cooperative relationship?"
Fan Qianqian raised an eyebrow. "Chen Ziqi, don't you understand the situation yet? Gu Sili loves me to death right now. For my sake, he has already kicked Yun Ning out of the house and doesn't even want the child in her belly."
She stood up, smiling at him, "Everything in the Gu family will soon be mine. Using my resources to help you? Hmm, I need to think about it carefully."
"Your resources?"
Chen Ziqi squinted, "Fan Qianqian, have you forgotten why Gu Sili 'loves' you so desperately?"
That's thanks to his lab!
After having two days of sweet dreams, do you really not know who you are anymore?
Fan Qianqian's expression changed slightly, but she quickly became resolute: "So what? Even if Gu Sili knows about the Zhongqing virus, he will forgive me."
"is it?"
Chen Ziqi interrupted her, his tone icy, "If I can develop a virus, I can also develop an antidote. Gu Sili is obedient to you now, but bringing him back to his senses won't be difficult!"
Fan Qianqian pursed her lips, her fingers gripping the bag strap tightly: "You dare!"
"What am I afraid of?"
Chen Ziqi approached step by step, his voice like a knife, "If the company is still around, we still have common interests, but if my company suffers a major blow, I will definitely take it back from you!"
