Volume 5: Twenty Undoubted Chapter 365 Luo Yan is going to study in the UK
After Jiang Xiaoguo left, Rebecca came in and glanced at Jiang Xiaoguo who left angrily. She walked to Zhou Xun's desk and sat down, asking in confusion:
"You're obviously doing this for her own good, why don't you tell her the truth?"
"What truth?"
Looking at the puzzled Rebecca, Zhou Xun shook his head and laughed:
"You think too much, she's not that important!"
"Yeah?"
Looking at Zhou Xun who looked rather unnatural, Rebecca said directly:
"You gave her that pen, didn't you?"
“I sent it!”
Hearing Rebecca's question, Zhou Xun was stunned for a moment and forced a smile:
"Last time she successfully won the Red Stubble Project, I gave her a small gift to encourage her. Is there any problem?"
"If I remember correctly, you bought that pen when you won your first project, and you've never left it since!"
Looking into Zhou Xun's eyes, Rebecca reminded him:
"As far as I know, Xiaoguo is pregnant. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Of course I understand, but you think too much. How could I possibly like her?"
“There is no best!”
After taking one last look at Zhou Xun, Rebecca stood up and left, saying:
"Zhou Xun, you are too rational, and Jiang Xiaoguo is a very emotional girl. You two are not suitable!"
"You think too much. I don't like a smart-aleck woman like her!"
"Okay, maybe I'm overthinking it. I'll leave first. Bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After watching Rebecca leave, Zhou Xun couldn't help but think of the day when he, Rebecca, and Su Hang discussed investing in Xiangke Home Furnishing and simultaneously attacking Weishi Technology.
That day, in the conference room, Su Hang was the first to make a decision:
"Just invest in Xiangke. As long as the media targets Zhao Changming, his competitors will surely take advantage of the situation. When the time comes, the regulatory authorities will ask them to postpone their listing plans and prove their innocence. The valuation of Weishi Technology will surely plummet. At that time, won't Xiangke Home Furnishing, which we invested in, come from behind and win?"
"I knew you would think so. What about Jiang Xiaoguo?"
After listening to Su Hang's thoughts, Rebecca couldn't help but smile, then looked at him and asked:
"We just promised Jiang Xiaoguo that we wouldn't tell anyone. Did you forget?"
"Then do you have a better idea? With hundreds of millions of dollars of investment, what's the big deal about a little trick?"
Looking at the silent Zhou Xun and Rebecca, Su Hang paused for a moment and continued:
"There was no better way, so I contacted the media?"
"Let me do it!"
Looking up at Su Hang and Rebecca, Zhou Xun said:
"This matter will be exposed sooner or later, so why not use it for our own benefit? We can only expose Zhao Changming and pick out Jiang Xiaoguo's friends. We can secretly control the trend of public opinion and only target Zhao Changming!"
"Hey, you're so considerate of Jiang Xiaoguo?"
Looking at Zhou Xun's expressionless face, Su Hang curled his lips and said indifferently:
"Actually, I don't mind. The focus of this plan is Zhao Changming alone, but..."
"Just what?"
Looking at the grinning Su Hang, Rebecca couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said:
"If you have something to say, just say it now, don't keep us in suspense!"
"Well, I'll just say what I want to say!"
After taking a look at Rebecca, Su Hang looked at Zhou Xun and said seriously:
"You should also know that if you pull out a carrot, you will bring out the dirt. Even if we only expose Zhao Changming, Jiang Xiaoguo's friends will inevitably be exposed by others, and public opinion cannot be controlled just because we want to. Needless to say, after we expose Zhao Changming, there will definitely be others who will continue to expose him, including Zhao Changming's family and the family of the third party, not to mention what will happen next. Even so, are you going to continue doing this?"
"Thank you for your reminder, but could I not have thought of these chain reactions?"
After taking a look at Su Hang, Zhou Xun frowned slightly and said:
"Jiang Xiaoguo will act on her emotions, but I won't. I will only expose Zhao Changming, and I won't be involved in other matters!"
"Well done, you are worthy of being Zhou Xun!"
Looking at Zhou Xun who was calm and rational, Su Hang smiled and said:
"I thought you would give up this opportunity for Jiang Xiaoguo, it seems I thought too much!"
Then he comforted himself:
"However, even if we don't expose it, it will be exposed sooner or later. We might as well expose it now!"
"good!"
Glancing at Zhou Xun, Rebecca smiled and said:
"Our President Zhou still cares about Jiang Xiaoguo. However, as you said, Xiaoguo is an emotional person. Why don't you let me do this? If she wants to blame someone, she can blame me!"
"No, it doesn't matter who does it!"
"Too!"
…
As night fell, Jiang Xiaoguo returned to school after get off work and walked listlessly downstairs to the girls' dormitory. When she was about to go in, Duan Jiabao came back from the school supermarket with snacks and saw her and shouted:
"Xiao Guo, why did you come back so early today?"
"If you don't want to stay in the company, just come back early!"
Jiang Xiaoguo lowered his head and said in a depressed mood.
"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your boss?"
"No, we didn't argue. I changed teams today. I'll be in the same team with Rebecca from now on, and she'll be my investor!"
"Okay, why did you change groups?"
"Don't mention it. I'm also impressed by myself. Why am I so unlucky?"
As he spoke, he saw Duan Jiabao carrying a large bag of snacks and drinks. Jiang Xiaoguo reached out and took out a can of drink and said:
"What is this? I want to drink it too!"
"No, no, I can't give you this. It contains alcohol, which is not good for the baby!"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo wanted to drink the alcoholic beverage he bought, Duan Jiabao quickly stopped her and said:
"Okay, okay, let's go back. Come on, tell me what happened today?"
"It's about that thing on the Internet, Shitou's mother and Zhao Changming... and Mr. Zhou. I know he did it for work, but he can't hurt others for work. They all promised me that they wouldn't tell anyone, but they told the media in the blink of an eye. Shitou must hate me to death!"
“So that’s how it is!”
After listening to Jiang Xiaoguo's intermittent story and understanding the whole story, Duan Jiabao smiled and comforted her:
"Oh, it's okay, Shitou, you know her well, she will be fine in two days, trust me!"
"This time it's different!"
Jiang Xiaoguo shook his head and said in frustration:
"This incident has become such a big deal that Aunt Wei has to hide at home and dare not go out. Some people even come to harass her. Shitou will definitely not forgive me this time!"
"Hey, don't think about the stone like that, okay?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo who was feeling sorry for herself, Duan Jiabao comforted her:
"You should think like this. In fact, Shitou is just like you. She also cares about your friendship. Think about it, she has done that with Yuan Xudong, right? And they even have a baby. Wouldn't you forgive her?"
After saying that, Duan Jiabao seemed to realize that there was something wrong with what he said. He looked at Jiang Xiaoguo, who was staring at him with slightly wide eyes, and asked:
"Um, did I say something wrong?"
"Hey, what do you think?"
Seeing Duan Jiabao talking about something irrelevant, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but snort and rolled his eyes.
"Duan Jiabao, I really admire you. How come you are so good at comforting people?"
"Oh, I was wrong. Is it okay for me to say I was wrong?"
"Forget it, go back. I am a great man and I will let you go this time!"
"Okay, thank you Xiaoguo!"
…
The next day at noon, in the private room of the InterContinental Hotel, Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan sat together, and Yuan Xudong sat opposite them. Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan who were a little awkward, Yuan Xudong said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, you two have always been good friends, besties. Since I've tried so hard to bring you two together, why don't you just get back together?"
"Shut up!"
She glared at Yuan Xudong. She didn't expect him to ask her and Luo Yan out at the same time. Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoguo looked at the silent Luo Yan and said with a wry smile:
"I'm sorry, Shitou, I really didn't know it would be like this. Can you please forgive me just once?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo who sincerely apologized to her, Luo Yan hesitated for a moment and said:
"Dabao told me everything. I know you had a fight with your boss. Now we are even. You cheated me once, and I cheated you once. It seems that we have to depend on each other again!"
"What the hell?"
Looking at Luo Yan with a smile on her face, Jiang Xiaoguo slightly widened his eyes and asked tentatively:
"You mean we're reconciled?"
"What else?"
Rolling her eyes at Jiang Xiaoguo, Luo Yan stood up, poured her a cup of hot tea and said with a smile:
"After drinking this cup of hot tea, we will be reconciled, how about that?"
"Okay, I'll pour you a glass too!"
"Thanks!"
"You're welcome!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan smiling at each other, Yuan Xudong knew that they had resolved their conflict. He interrupted and said with a smile:
"That's great. Sisters are united and their strength is unbreakable. Give me a cup of tea too, so we can celebrate together!"
"Go away, what does our sisterly affairs have to do with you? Just go where you want!"
After glaring at Yuan Xudong and sending him aside, Luo Yan looked at Jiang Xiaoguo and said with a smile:
"Anyway, I've figured it out. It was my mom's fault after all. I can't blame anyone else, so you don't have to blame yourself!"
Seeing Luo Yan finally figured it out, Jiang Xiaoguo hesitated for a moment and asked:
"Then you and your mother..."
Without waiting for Jiang Xiaoguo to finish her words, Luo Yan seemed to know what she wanted to ask, and smiled, and said in a calm voice:
"My mother has quit her job and plans to settle in the UK. I will go with her and study abroad there!"
"ah?"
Hearing the news that Luo Yan was going to study in the UK, Yuan Xudong and Jiang Xiaoguo were both shocked. It was the first time for both Yuan Xudong and Jiang Xiaoguo to hear such news. Jiang Xiaoguo was in a low mood and sat there without saying a word, just lowering his head with a frustrated look on his face. Yuan Xudong looked at Luo Yan and objected:
"I strongly disagree. If you go to study in the UK, what will happen to our children?"
"So what do you say we should do?"
After glaring at Yuan Xudong, Luo Yan said directly:
"I am the only daughter of my mother. She is going to settle in the UK. I can't just abandon her, right? Also, I'm pregnant, and she doesn't even know who the father of the child is. What qualifications do you have to disagree with my going to study in the UK?"
"I……"
"Okay, you don't have to say anything. I have already decided to study in the UK. It's useless for you to say anything now!"
After glaring at Yuan Xudong and seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo was in a low mood, Luo Yan reached out and touched her hair and said with a smile:
"Okay, don't be sad. I'm not going to England and won't be back. I will come back to see you often. If you have time, you can also come to England to see me!"
As she spoke, Luo Yan leaned over to Jiang Xiaoguo's ear with her back to Yuan Xudong and smiled softly:
"Okay, I'll return Yuan Xudong to you. You can handle Liang Shuang yourself. Come on!"
"Shi Tou, you don't have to do this. I and..."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Baby is hungry. It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"
"Have a meal!"
After dinner, Yuan Xudong first sent Jiang Xiaoguo back home, and then drove Luo Yan to her mother's place. Looking at Luo Yan's calm face, Yuan Xudong hesitated for a moment and said:
"Can you not go to study in England?"
"cannot!"
"What about the child?"
"When the baby is born, my mother will help me take care of it. You don't need to worry!"
"Okay, so do I have to pay child support? How much does it cost each month?"
"Get lost!"
Looking at Luo Yan who was rolling her eyes, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"When are you leaving? I'll see you off at the airport!"
"No, I don't like parting scenes!"
As she spoke, Luo Yan turned her head and looked at Yuan Xudong and asked directly:
"Xiao Guo and Liang Shuang, who are you going to marry?"
"I don't know, I haven't thought it through yet!"
Yuan Xudong told the truth.
"Scumbag!"
"Thank you for the compliment!"
"I didn't praise you!"
"I know, I'll just take it as a compliment!"
"Scoundrel!"
"Thank you for the compliment!"
"you……"
Seeing the shameless Yuan Xudong, Luo Yan was almost mad at him and finally had no choice but to ignore him and not talk to him. Seeing that Luo Yan ignored him, Yuan Xudong took the initiative to chat with her:
"By the way, how is your mom, is she okay?"
"What's good?"
Rolling her eyes at Yuan Xudong, Luo Yan sighed softly and said:
"No matter what, she has to bear the consequences of her own mistakes. She has been a lawyer for her whole life, but she resigned to avoid dragging down Junhao Law Firm. Now she drinks and sleeps at home every day. As her daughter, I don't have much ability, so I can only spend more time with her. Last night, she drank too much and just curled up on the sofa and slept all night. As a result, this morning, when I got up and opened the door, she was already up and even prepared breakfast for me. You can imagine that I have lived in the school for so many years, and she has been alone. It's really hard!"
"Shi Tou, I'm glad you think so!"
Taking a look at Luo Yan's deliberately long hair, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things. How have you been recently?"
"I'm fine. Apart from my mom's issue and meeting you, everything else is great!"
"Yeah?"
Seeing Luo Yan's ambiguous words, Yuan Xudong smiled and changed the subject:
"You've started to grow your hair long? It looks nice, a little !"
"No, I've been too busy lately and haven't had time to go to the barber shop to get a haircut!"
“I see!”
Without exposing Luo Yan's stubbornness, Yuan Xudong drove to her house and said with a smile:
"Okay, we're here!"
"Well, I'll go up first. Bye!"
Seeing Luo Yan open the car door and walk out, Yuan Xudong got out and said with a smile:
"Wouldn't you like me to come up and sit down?"
"My mom is at home, are you sure you want to go up and sit down?"
"Just kidding!"
Yuan Xudong didn't have the courage to meet his mother-in-law whose daughter was pregnant before they even got married. He walked up to Luo Yan, hugged her and kissed her forcefully for a while, then said proudly:
"Okay, go upstairs. Send me a text message when you get home. Bye!"
"rogue!"
After glaring at Yuan Xudong fiercely, Luo Yan wiped her lips with the back of her right hand, her face flushed as she said:
"I'm going back, you should go back early too!"
"Okay, I'll wait until you get home before I leave!"
"Let's go, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After watching Luo Yan walk into the apartment building and waiting for a while, Yuan Xudong received a text message saying that she had arrived home. He drove away and prepared to rest for the night at Liang Shuang's place. He also brought her some herbal tea to reduce her internal heat and cure the acne on her face.
