Chapter 234: Chapter 212: Holding a Grudge
The issue of who should manage Ghost Street was resolved peacefully.
An agreement was signed immediately. But this agreement was signed by Wen Mingcheng and Gu Yanjing.
Both of them promised to give Ghost Street to Qiao Yuxian, and not keep it for themselves.
Qiao Yuxian never agreed, but the two went through with it.
Once Feng Chuanbai is dealt with, a formal contract will be signed, and by then, as long as Qiao Yuxian agrees to sign, Ghost Street will become her personal property.
After signing the agreement, both parties finally sat down for a meal.
During the meal, they discussed how to deal with Feng Chuanbai too.
Nowadays, Feng Chuanbai is looking for collaborators everywhere, naturally including Wen Mingcheng.
It’s just that Wen Mingcheng was not in the country at the time, and he had his assistant keeping Feng Chuanbai dangling, without giving a definitive answer.
After all, Qiao Yuxian said not to let him interfere in matters related to Ghost Street, so he certainly wouldn’t actually try to take over Ghost Street.
Unless Gu Yanjing really didn’t care about Qiao Yuxian, then he would definitely seize Ghost Street.
Now that Ghost Street is to eventually belong to Qiao Yuxian, dealing with Feng Chuanbai will require collaboration from Yunzhong Building too.
Ghost Street is already hanging by a thread.
Feng Chuanbai is seeking collaboration everywhere, yet he himself is hiding, changing locations daily, and is nowhere to be seen.
Previously, finding Feng Chuanbai was obstructed by Yunzhong Building.
Now, the two are collaborating, with the Gu Family in the open and Yunzhong Building operating in the shadows.
Feng Chuanbai’s days are truly numbered.
...
With the hostile atmosphere gone, both parties enjoyed a fairly harmonious meal.
However, Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian were sitting across from each other, which made Mr. Gu somewhat unhappy.
Meanwhile, Wen Mingcheng was still struggling to comprehend the fact that Qiao Yuxian had suddenly gotten married.
Though he was speaking normally with Gu Yanjing and the others, his emotions were in turmoil, and he continued to drink one glass after another.
He poured another glass of wine, and Qiao Yuxian suddenly coughed softly.
Everyone turned to look at her.
Qiao Yuxian looked at Wen Mingcheng and said, "Uncle Wen, drink less alcohol as you age."
"Who’s aging?" Wen Mingcheng replied.
"What do you think?" Qiao Yuxian said, "You’re the only one in this room who’s an uncle. Besides you, who else is aging?"
"I asked you to call me brother, but you wouldn’t!" Wen Mingcheng said.
"Do you really have the nerve? If you married at a normal age, your kids would be as old as me." Qiao Yuxian retorted, "You’re quite old and still don’t have a partner."
"Hey, why are you attacking me personally?" Wen Mingcheng looked at her.
"You won’t find me a little aunt, so I will attack you, attack you, attack you." Qiao Yuxian said.
"You..."
"Cough." Gu Yanjing suddenly coughed softly too.
Both Qiao Yuxian and Wen Mingcheng looked at him.
Gu Yanjing lowered his eyes and straightened his utensils, as if the cough was unintentional.
But anyone with eyes could see he was unhappy.
Chu Zhengran secretly laughed to himself.
Lin Huai Shu drank his wine, pretending to know nothing.
Qiao Yuxian stopped talking and lowered her head, obediently eating her meal.
Wen Mingcheng glanced at Gu Yanjing, then at Qiao Yuxian, and snorted inwardly.
Thinking to himself: Wicked people always meet their match.
This wild little overlord finally has someone who can tame her.
Truly curious.
...
After finishing the meal and before leaving Jingxian Building.
Both parties smashed Jingxian Building.
It was really like a fight, except that no people were injured, only other things were damaged.
The police were alarmed.
The police station acted as the mediator, and the issue was only resolved by the later part of the night.
Originally, Gu Yanjing wanted Shang Chen to take Qiao Yuxian home first.
But Qiao Yuxian wanted to join the commotion, so she didn’t leave.
She stayed until the later part of the night as well.
Eventually, both parties left, and before parting ways in Jingxian Building, Qiao Yuxian pulled out her phone and called out to Wen Mingcheng: "Uncle Wen."
Wen Mingcheng looked at her and saw her showing her phone to him, then looked at the phone in her hand.
Then saw her finger move, and she blocked his contact information.
All contact information was blocked.
Wen Mingcheng’s eyes widened: "You..."
Qiao Yuxian smiled and said two words: "Payback."
The payback for setting her up tonight.
"You..." Wen Mingcheng was about to speak.
Director Zhao from the police station looked over. Seeing Wen Mingcheng’s grim expression and Qiao Yuxian’s provocative demeanor, he quickly found a topic to divert the two of them.
"President Wen, come here, come here." Director Zhao said, "About the people causing trouble on Yunzhong Street that you mentioned last time, let me tell you about the progress."
Director Zhao separated him from Qiao Yuxian.
Qiao Yuxian watched them leave, slightly raised her eyebrow.
The two parties pretended to fight, Jingxian Building’s people called the police. When the police arrived, Gu Yanjing first pulled Qiao Yuxian to his side.
So Wen Mingcheng and Qiao Yuxian were considered to be part of opposing groups.
Seeing her constantly watching them, Gu Yanjing raised his hand and touched her face.
Qiao Yuxian looked at him, brushed his hand away, ignored him, left Jingxian Building, and got in Shang Chen’s car.
Gu Yanjing watched her, thinking: She really holds grudges.
By the time they got back to Fenglin Villa, the news about Yunzhong Building and Gu Group failing to negotiate and fighting had already spread throughout Capital City.
Moreover, the rumors grew increasingly dramatic.
When Qiao Yuxian arrived at Fenglin Villa and got out of the car, she saw the most exaggerated version:
Gu Yanjing of Gu Group lost an arm when leaving Jingxian Building.
Wen Mingcheng of Yunzhong Building was carried out of Jingxian Building, covered in blood, presumably lifeless.
Qiao Yuxian looked at the news online. Thought to herself, by tomorrow morning, probably all of Capital City will have been destroyed.
She got out of the car, returned to Fenglin Villa, and went straight upstairs to her room.
Gu Yanjing stood downstairs, looking at the closed door upstairs.
Su Qi stood behind him, watching Mr. Gu.
Watching him being shut out by his wife.
In the past, encountering such a situation, he would be shocked jaw-dropped.
Who dared treat Mr. Gu this way?
Looked like they didn’t want their head anymore!
Now, he just finds it novel.
After all, when Mr. Gu runs into his wife, anything could happen.
If you stick around Mr. Gu long enough, these unusual things will surely occur.
Su Qi kept looking at Gu Yanjing, gradually revealing a sympathetic expression.
Is this what being in love is like?
Is it this pitiful?
Just then, Gu Yanjing suddenly turned around.
He happened to see that sympathetic expression.
Su Qi was startled, immediately returned to a normal expression, and took a quick step back.
Gu Yanjing looked at him.
Su Qi lowered his head and dared not breathe loudly, paused and said, "Mr. Gu."
"Were you not busy dating before the New Year?" Gu Yanjing asked casually.
Su Qi, not knowing why he suddenly asked this, immediately answered, "Yes."
"Not one was successful?" Gu Yanjing asked again.
Su Qi felt like an arrow had hit his heart, replied, "No."
Gu Yanjing went silent for a while.
Su Qi lowered his head and dared not look at him, but he could also feel the disdain coming from Gu Yanjing.
He understood.
Mr. Gu was obviously retaliating, retaliating against him for pitying him for being shut out by his wife.
After a while, Gu Yanjing said faintly, "From now on, finish work two hours earlier every afternoon and continue dating."
Su Qi’s eyes widened: "!!!!!!"
After Gu Yanjing finished speaking, he left.
Once he left, Su Qi looked up at him.
Filled with despair.
Help!
He’d rather work two extra hours every day than go dating again!!!
