C21 A Hypocrite
Her face turned deathly pale. Her fingers tightened and she couldn't help but shiver. All the blood in her body was flowing in reverse due to anger.
On the cover, there was a big word reporting that Young Master Gu, the leader of the Crown Prince's faction, was about to take over the largest mining company in A City. In the photo, He was dressed formally and in high spirits. The only thing that didn't change was the evil smile that was even more beautiful than a woman at the corner of his mouth. That smile was both provocative and meaningful. He was like a noble but unrestrained prodigal.
The reports were full of praise for his ability and excellent means. He stood out from tens of thousands of companies and became the biggest winner.
The more Yao Mengqi read, the more annoyed she became. She wished she could tear the magazine apart.
He was simply a hypocritical man. Disgusting! She hated him to death!
Guan Yufan saw that her expression was very ugly and followed her gaze. When he saw that it was Gu Jue, there was a trace of abnormality on his brow. "You know him?"
"I don't know him!" Yao Mengqi denied it immediately. She gritted her teeth in her heart. He was someone who had haunted her with nightmares. She would rather delete that memory.
"I thought that there was no one in the entire A City who didn't know about him!" Guan Yufan sat beside her, as if he was in the mood to chat. He took a sip of his saliva and said lightly, "After all, he is also the symbol of A City! Just like Hong Kong, people will naturally think of Lee Jiacheng."
"Can his ability be compared with Lee Jiacheng's?"
"He has this ability. But what was truly amazing was his family background. To be more precise, the one who's truly amazing is his grandfather."
Yao Mengqi sneered, "This is another rich kid."
" He's from the Crown Prince's gang! " Guan Yufan smiled and corrected her, "His grandfather is a high-ranking leader in the continent. It is not convenient for me to reveal how high his grandfather's rank is. In short, it was unimaginable. And the wealth of his mother's family is also inestimable. "
" His father only had children when he was old, and his father doted on him a lot His grandfather even treated his only grandson as a treasure. When he was young, His grandfather had already started paving the way for him. The fact that he can take over the mining company this time is only a matter of a word from his grandfather!"
" It sounds like you know his family very well. "
Guan Yufan paused for a moment and smiled. "I know some things."
"Oh, those who don't know would think that you are related to their family."
"This is the instinct of a lawyer!" Guan Yufan casually said and changed the topic. "There are two bachelor diamond men in A City, Gu Jue and Yeh Hanxuan. But Yeh Hanxuan is already married! "
Yao Mengqi's ears were heating up and her heart was beating a few times. "Oh, I don't know about that."
"There is a saying that men are not bad and women don't love them. A man like Gu Jue was a fatal attraction to women, right?
" I think we should stay away from him and never offend him! " Yao Mengqi was full of resentment. What diamond bachelor, what crown prince gang, he was clearly a hypocrite!
"Why?" Guan Yufan felt that what she said was very cute, "With his family background and looks, he should be the husband that all women dream of. In a sense, he was like a horse that was difficult to control. He can fully arouse the desire of women to conquer."
"This statement is too absurd!" Yao Mengqi was very contemptuous of this kind of saying. Without thinking, she blurted it out. "You are the husband that women dream of!"
Five seconds after Yao Mengqi finished speaking, she realized that this seemed to be a very ambiguous and easily misunderstood as something else.
Could she take back this sentence?
Guan Yufan did not speak and only looked at her with a smile. He waited for her to continue speaking. He was secretly teasing her.
"What I mean is that you are an outstanding lawyer and you know how to cook. Any woman will think that you are perfect."
"Does that include you?"
Yao Mengqi seemed to have been pricked by a needle. She suddenly looked up. She welcomed the pair of clear and bright black eyes that were filled with enthusiasm. Her heart was in a panic for no reason as her fingers tightened. Her breathing inexplicably quickened, and her cheeks flushed red.
Guan Yufan suddenly laughed. His laughter was like a clear silver bell ringing from his chest. He raised his hand and rubbed her head. "Silly girl, I was just joking with you!" A wave of heat passed through her scalp and spread throughout her entire body.
Yao Mengqi was stunned for a while before she managed to calm her expression and laughed along with him. " Oh. "
She knew that in his eyes, she was merely an ignorant little girl, not the kind of girl he would fall in love with!
She didn't have any improper thoughts about him either.
But why did she feel lost for no reason?
It was already four o'clock in the morning when Yao Mengqi returned home. She softly walked upstairs in the darkness. She did not even bother to turn on the light and directly fell onto the bed. Just as she closed her eyes, a ghostly cold sound suddenly came from the darkness.
"You are actually willing to come back?"
Yao Mengqi was so scared that her entire body bounced up and she vigilantly took a few steps back. Only then did she realize that there was a vague figure at the bar counter. The entire area he was in was filled with the aura of ice. When the people came closer, They would be frozen.
"Yeh Hanxuan?"
He snorted coldly. "Or do you want it to be someone else? For example, your lover?"
She automatically ignored his sarcasm, "Why didn't you turn on the light? You scared me to death! "
"You have a guilty conscience?"
"I want to rest, please go out!"
"Didn't that man let you rest? He really is full of desire!"
"Don't talk nonsense! I'm just going to the professor's place to prepare for tomorrow's case!"
"Is that so?" He said faintly, "What kind of case needs you to prepare in the middle of the night? Don't you think this excuse is too far-fetched?"
"The truth is so. If you don't believe me, I can't do anything about it!"
"So you admit it?" His tone became even more sinister.
"If you say so, then so be it. I have nothing to say!"
"Yao Mengqi, you are very bold!" He stood up. His figure was so tall that it almost covered all of the moonlight. He looked down at her from above. Only then did she see his pair of eyes that were red to the point of dripping blood in the darkness. He was like an enraged beast.
"You have nothing to say to your husband, so you want to go out and talk to another man in the middle of the night? Do you need me to remind you again, what will happen to a wife who doesn't follow her duties? "
The more Yao Mengqi heard, the more absurd she felt and her heart became cold. "You only know the duty of a wife. Then, have you fulfilled the duty of a husband again? That kind of thing happened that night at the banquet, and you actually did not console me at all!" She sneered and her eyes reddened. "Or rather, if it wasn't for the Ye family's reputation, you wouldn't have come to save me!"
"You're not stupid!" He said disdainfully, "A woman like you must hate me for disturbing you. Why are you pretending to be wronged?"
"You don't understand me at all. You don't have the right to insult me! I'm only working for my dreams. I'm not as bad as you say! "
"If that's the case, why does your father want me to assign you a position in the Universal? He also expressed that he hopes that you are the special assistant of the president! "
Yao Mengqi was stunned, "I do not know about this matter!"
Yeh Hanxuan's contemptuous smile became even deeper." Your reaction is exactly the same as what I expected. Is this the trick you guys are used to? One person shamelessly asks for it while the other pretends to be innocent!"
" You are still not satisfied after becoming Mrs. Bo. Are you going to interfere in the company's finances now? " The way he looked at her was like he was treating a greedy and disgusting parasite. "You are too greedy. You even want to cheat on me, but you don't have the capital to do so."
Yao Mengqi was very angry. Since she was young, her mother taught her to treat people sincerely and think for others, so she had never had any conflicts with anyone. But now, she really wanted to scold this man.
He had always been self-righteous and headstrong, not giving her the slightest chance to explain. He would directly come to a conclusion based on his thoughts.
When he insulted her and casually accused her of anything, he never thought about reflecting on himself.
"If you're finished, please go out, I'm really tired..." She no longer struggled, no longer explaining. There were faint traces of tears at the corners of her eyes. She no longer hid her weakness and helplessness.
Yeh Hanxuan felt a little sad in his heart. When she strongly resisted, he could not suppress his anger, so he wanted to hurt her more and expose her hypocrisy. But when she stopped resisting, he actually could not bear it.
He seemed to have misunderstood her!
However, that was only an instant's thought. He reminded himself that she was a scheming woman. She only wanted to pretend to be weak to gain his sympathy.
He had never been soft-hearted, nor should he have been soft-hearted to her.
Once again, he became cold and detached.
"Tell your father, I can't let you become the CEO's assistant!" Yeh Hanxuan walked to the door and stopped again. He looked at her weak figure and sneered.
"If he is curious about the reason, I don't mind telling him personally that you prefer to be that person's assistant!"
The next day, Yao Mengqi went to court as usual. The type of case was a conflict between real estate developers and residents. Yao Mengqi knew that this kind of case was very difficult to win as soon as she got the information. This matter involved the interests of large consortiums. Ordinary lawyers did not dare to take over such a case.
She did not have much confidence in winning, so she could only try her best to support Guan Yufan.
At the beginning, the residents were at an absolute disadvantage. But halfway through, Guan Yufan took out the most powerful evidence. Furthermore, With his excellent debate skills and clear reasoning, he pushed the real estate developer representative into a corner step by step. In the end, Guan Yufan won.
