Sheng Qianchi didn’t actually say it, but today he not only personally warned those dia outlets, he also secretly arranged for Mo Jun to suppress them with powerful money and force, using both temptation and threat with a firm hand.
Tomorrow, he plans to give those dia outlets so ti.
If they voluntarily publish articles clearing up Gu Jiayin’s na, they’ll be spared, but if there are any unaccommodating ones, they will be strongly removed.
In short, by the day after tomorrow, Gu Jiayin will feel entirely comfortable, without seeing any dirty news.
This is a gift he gives to her, because now that she has broken up with Pei Nianchen, the whole world knows she is his woman.
Gu Jiayin didn’t say anything further, and she focused on eating. As smart as she is, she could guess these things, but she wasn’t prepared to say thank you, because everything he did was to make her his woman.
Just as he said, between him and her, it’s a transaction, so what he does for her is simply part of the deal; there’s no need for her to say thank you.
Actually, Sheng Qianchi was quite hoping she would say thank you, even if not gratefully, at least showing him a polite smile, but she had no reaction at all, remaining calm and indifferent like an early spring breeze.
He felt a little disappointed, but still in a good mood, naturally because she finally had nothing to do with Pei Nianchen, which to him seed like fulfilling a seven-year-old wish.
After a pause, he found another topic, "Jiayin, I heard that when we were born, there was only a difference of a few minutes, and we were even in the sa hospital."
His intention was to improve their relationship a bit, but he didn’t expect this topic to trigger her. He watched as her bright and charming face suddenly lifted, a cold and sarcastic smile forming at her lips.
"Of course, at that ti, your mother was still an adopted daughter of the Gu Family. Without the Gu Family, she probably would never have qualified to marry into the Sheng Family, nor could she have given birth to you."
Yes, back then, Gu Shaohua and Gu Jiayin’s mother, Gu Qiyun, hadn’t had a fallout yet. To outsiders, they appeared to be good sisters, even giving birth on the sa day.
It was said that originally, Gu Qiyun was in love with Sheng Lanzhang, but ended up accidentally having relations with Qin Zhennan. On the sa day, Gu Shaohua was raped by the drunken Sheng Lanzhang, and both won ended up pregnant.
A romance ended abruptly.
When Gu Jiayin was sixteen, right before Sheng Qianchi returned to the country, the dia suddenly captured Sheng Lanzhang and Gu Qiyun eting secretly.
For a ti, Gu Qiyun was scorned by everyone, accused of seducing a married man and hurting her own and others’ families.
Gu Shaohua quickly held a press conference in anger, announcing the severance of the sisterly bond with Gu Qiyun, and that they would no longer interact.
During that ti, Gu Qiyun fell into depression, her health deteriorating day by day. Gu Jiayin and Gu Yachen took their mother on a river cruise to cheer her up, but instead they faced a catastrophic disaster.
Although after all these years, her mother never ntioned those past events, Gu Jiayin believes her mother is innocent.
Gu Shaohua, disregarding family ties, chose to believe the dia and publicly declared the cut off relations, cruelly humiliating Gu Qiyun, which she saw as quite heartless.
Sheng Qianchi also knew that Gu Jiayin was cold to him not only because he had been engaged to Qin Yishu, but also largely because of his mother. However, he didn’t think these could hinder them from being together.
To him, both of those won were insignificant.
Regretting bringing up the topic, he smiled and changed the subject, "Alright, let’s not talk about the past anymore, let’s eat."
Gu Jiayin had lost her appetite, so she threw down her chopsticks, "I’m full."
Finished speaking, she got up to leave, but Sheng Qianchi grabbed her wrist.
"Jiayin, don’t be upset with because of unrelated people, sit down and have a good al."
Unrelated people?
He referred to his mother as an unrelated person, ha!
Indeed, it was rumored that he and his mother had a very cold relationship.
Of course, how could there be any warmth when from birth he was sent to be raised abroad, naturally the relationship was distant.
But blood ties can’t be severed, so Gu Jiayin still loathed every part.
"I said I’m full, don’t you understand?"
"You haven’t eaten much."
"Isn’t it enough for you to control my person, do you also have to control my stomach?"
"Jiayin, stop it."
Gu Jiayin suddenly shook off Sheng Qianchi’s hand, gave him a cold glance, and turned to leave the dining room.
The atmosphere in the restaurant, which was initially quite nice, suddenly turned cold, and Sheng Qianchi sighed, leaning back into his chair, naturally losing his appetite.
Because of the argunt at noon, he hadn’t eaten much, and now he couldn’t eat more.
This woman is really difficult to pamper, no matter how you indulge her, she can’t let go of her grievances, changing her attitude at the drop of a hat.
Leaning against the wide chair back, he lit a cigarette, silently puffing clouds forth.
Although he had been exiled to live abroad since childhood, coldly taken care of by servants and bodyguards without emotional connections, no one had dared to clash with him like this.
Given his current status, with just a single word, thousands of won would approach with smiles, pleasing him obediently like kittens. Yet, infuriatingly, he was fixed on Gu Jiayin.
His obsession with her is like a tight string, stretched from the South Pole to the North Pole, straight without bending.
He even suspected this was so kind of sickness.
After finishing two cigarettes, the dishes were cold.
The servant cautiously inquired, "Young Master Chi, would you like the dishes reheated?"
"No need, just make two new dishes and deliver them upstairs later."
"Yes."
...
Sheng Qianchi returned to the bedroom to find Gu Jiayin had already showered and was nestled in bed, looking at her phone to research. Her hair was still damp.
Without speaking, he found a hairdryer, approached the bed, and began to dry her hair.
Gu Jiayin initially remained expressionless, not intending to pay him any attention, but under his care, she suddenly froze, reminded that only her brother, Gu Yachen, had cared for her like this before.
Lost in fleeting mories, she suddenly moved aside.
"What’s wrong, is it uncomfortable?"
Sheng Qianchi looked down at the stiff woman, his voice low and warm, as if they’d never had an unpleasant mont earlier.
Gu Jiayin, "..."
"I’m not used to being taken care of like this."
"But if your hair isn’t dried, you’ll catch a cold. Continue with your research, it’ll be done soon."
With that, Sheng Qianchi turned on the hairdryer again and continued to blow.
Gu Jiayin couldn’t find a reason to refuse, so she quietly lowered her head, clearly feeling his movents becoming gentler.
Such unwanted care, once adapted to, becos taken for granted.
As the dryer whirred on, Gu Jiayin gradually relaxed and focused seriously on her research. She didn’t even notice when Sheng Qianchi stopped and took the hairdryer away.
It wasn’t until he affectionately wrapped his arms around her from behind, planting his warm lips on her cheek, that she suddenly snapped back to reality.
