Hearing the woman's words, Sheng Xing Yu was immediately confused. Since she was her own brother, why would she say that she did not know him?

As if sensing the man's confusion, she lowered her head and replied in a low voice, "My brother owes someone money. I only found out when I was on the boat that he wanted to use me to repay the debt."

In order to repay his debt, he had actually pledged his little sister out at a very high price. Sheng Xing Yu could not help but feel a little annoyed, his eyebrows knitted together slightly as he looked at this woman who was around Ye Xin Ai's age.

"I managed to get out of the room," she said, looking helpless, her fingers clenched. "I was afraid that if I was caught again, no one would help me."

After encountering such a situation, Sheng Xing Yu did not know what to say. If she was left alone, it might not be long before she would be caught again.

"What do you think?" He raised his hand and looked at his watch. "At three o'clock in the afternoon, the boat will arrive. Before that, you should stay in my room and not go anywhere."

The woman looked as if she could not believe it. She asked haltingly, "Can it really be done?"

Thinking that they wouldn't dare to rush into the room to look for her, Sheng Xing Yu lightly patted her on the shoulder and said: "It's alright, you don't have to be afraid."

He then brought the woman to his room, arranged her properly, and said softly, "I still have some things to take care of. You can rest for a while, and don't leave his room."

As she turned to leave, the woman suddenly called out to the man timidly. "May I know your name?"

"Sheng Xing Yu." He smiled soothingly.

As if she wanted to memorize this name in her heart, the woman lightly repeated it several times, and then revealed a bright smile: "I am Huo Chen Xin, Morning Light's, Heart of the Soul."

Following the arrival of the person beside Gu Shi Ming, Xi Jin Cheng was invited into a luxurious suite.

Inside the room stood a dozen tall and sturdy men in suits. Gu Shi Ming was sitting on a rocking chair as he leisurely swung the tea in his hand. Seeing Xi Jin Cheng's arrival, he waved to the rest of the people in the house to go out.

The man that invited Xi Jin Cheng over just now whispered a few words into Gu Shi Ming's ear. It was as if he was worried that Gu Shi Ming would not be able to stay with the man alone, but Old Man Gu still waved him away.

Xi Jin Cheng only watched coldly as the group of people quickly left the room, without waiting for Gu Shi Ming to speak, he found a chair and sat down, then said with a smile: "Old Man Gu's body is indeed healthy, you still haven't fallen asleep even at this time."

Gu Shi Ming patted on the armrest of the rocking chair and shook his head: "I can't compare to you youngsters, even at three or four hours, you guys are still radiating with energy. It's only because I feel that there's not enough to sleep, it's just that I can't sleep."

Xi Jin Cheng lightly rubbed his fingers, as if he didn't want to stay on this topic for too long, and straightforwardly asked: "I wonder what Old Man Gu called me this for?"

Gu Shi Ming suddenly picked up the walking stick beside him, pointed at it in the air and said: "Listen."

The man looked at him and listened intently. Apart from the faint sounds of the party on the deck, there was only the sound of the sea splashing against the hull of the boat.

"What did you hear?" The corner of Gu Shi Ming's mouth had an unfathomable smile, "A party, a party for people, Hai Shui."

"It's just such a small party," he said with a long sigh, fiddling with his cane.

Xi Jin Cheng turned her head to the side and looked at him. The smile that she had on her face had disappeared as well, and she said with a chuckle: "This junior is slow-witted, I do not understand Old Man Gu's words."

"You are not stupid," the other side completely ignored his words, shook his head, and said, "Whether you understand it or not is up to you."

"I like people who are straightforward and straightforward, and it makes my head ache from all the twists and turns around," Xi Jin Cheng intersected his ten fingers, and looked at Gu Shi Ming with an almost contemptuous attitude. "Old Man Gu, if you have something to say, why don't you just say it?"

Gu Shi Ming's intention was obvious, he knew who in the business world was the best. As he grew older and older, if the Gu family wanted to rely on this old bone to survive, not only would they not be able to achieve great things, but they would also be suppressed by the younger generations one day.

If he wanted to remain standing, he would have to inject fresh blood into the Gu family.

There were three children in the Gu family, two boys and a girl. The boy who was born and bred liked medicine and wholeheartedly wanted to learn medicine. The secondary man was younger than Gu Qing by a few years. He looked just like a playboy.

Seeing the worry in her heart, Gu Shi Ming's marriage was impossible for her to not interfere, but it was fortunate that she and Lin Xuan were on good terms, allowing the development of the marriage to go smoothly beyond her expectations.

But Lin Xuan alone was not enough. He needed more reliable talents to keep the Gu family afloat.

Although he was an elder, he could still feel the oppression Xi Jin Cheng was giving him. However, for his own purposes, he slowly asked: "You're not engaged yet, right?"

"Old Man Gu is rather concerned about me." The corner of Xi Jin Cheng's mouth raised slightly, his smile carrying a deep sense of coldness.

"My brother has a daughter, who is as beautiful as a flower. Regardless of appearance, talents, or identity, they all fit you well," Gu Shi Ming placed the walking stick on the ground, no longer wearing a smile as he asked. "What do you think?"

"Have you ever heard of the saying that 'twisting a melon is not sweet?'," Xi Jin Cheng's eyes flashed with a hint of anger, as he laughed till people shiver, "Moreover, you might not be able to do it."

"As long as you are a couple in the legal sense, you can do whatever you want with anyone after marriage. If I die, I'll give you twenty percent of the Gu Group's shares. "

Giving 20% of the Gu Clan's shares to an outsider was enough to show how much effort Gu Shi Ming had used to win over Xi Jin Cheng.

"You mean to use 20% of the Gu Clan's shares to buy my wife's seat?" Xi Jin Cheng could not help but sneer. Let alone 20%, even if it was 80%, he would not be bothered with it.

He had no lack of power, and he had no access to what he wanted.

"This is not a worthwhile transaction. Think about it yourself." Gu Shi Ming did not believe that there would be a man who would despise having too much property. His conditions were already attractive enough, but he merely wanted Xi Jin Cheng's legal name as his wife.

"To let me marry a woman I don't like," Xi Jin Cheng laughed with a trace of gloominess, yet he still maintained a leisurely manner, "aren't you too presumptuous?"

He watched Gu Shi Ming's face darken, and said with a low and magnetic voice that carried a hint of anger: "I heard that Old Man Gu is extremely concerned about the Gu family, and is especially concerned about his wife and children. But now, for your own benefit, you're willing to sacrifice the happiness of others for nothing. Do you think that's fair? "
