Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage

Chapter 744: Chapter 745: Never Get Tired of Deception in War

“Actually, there is a little matter. Sister Mingzhu just called to say today is New Year’s Day, and she wants me to come to Gu Garden for dinner tonight, but… I suppose it’s not very convenient for me to go today. Can you let Sister Mingzhu know that I won’t be going tonight?”

Gu Qichen nodded.

Then he asked, “Can you take care of that tricky business in Yunjiao?”

“It’s been going fairly well, thanks to your help.”

“That’s nothing at all. I’ve arranged a dinner with Director Zhang at the Land Bureau on the third, why don’t you come along and meet him? It should be helpful for your work in the future.”

“Alright, then I’ll stay in Feng City for a couple more days.”

Gu Qichen and Xi Zijun were discussing business topics.

Xia Yangyang didn’t understand them.

So she just sat on the couch reading a magazine.

After a while, it seemed that they had finished their conversation.

At some point, Xi Zijun had come to stand in front of Xia Yangyang.

Xi Zijun spoke, “Miss Xia, I have a few things to say to you. May I speak with you alone?”

Xia Yangyang nodded.

The two left Gu Qichen’s office.

They went to the end of the hallway.

It was a small, semi-circular glass platform.

From the glass windows here, one could see the entire cityscape.

But the people who worked here were as busy as screws on a conveyor belt.

No one had the leisure to enjoy the view.

This place was quiet.

The two stopped.

Xia Yangyang quietly looked at Xi Zijun.

In fact, many things were quite coincidental.

Like her wedding, like that banquet.

Xi Zijun was the first to speak, “Miss Xia, I believe that Ah Chen has explained some things to you. But from my position, to avoid unnecessary trouble and misunderstandings, I would like to explain once again.”

“What do you want to say?”

“Ah Chen and I have only been business partners over the past four years, I don’t have any personal feelings for him, and he feels the same about me. Even our previous engagement was a business contract, and I hope you won’t misunderstand this.”

Xia Yangyang smiled, “Don’t worry, I won’t misunderstand.”

“Regarding what my father did to your father, I feel regretful. But that’s a matter of the previous generation, and he received his punishment, so I hope we can put the past behind us. Instead of harboring resentment, it’s better to resolve conflicts. I hope this won’t affect our generation.”

Xi Zijun’s words were quite unexpected to Xia Yangyang.

Gu Qichen once said that Xi Zijun was a woman who was so rational it was frightening. Indeed, it was true.

Xia Yangyang responded, “The grudges of the older generation naturally will not involve us.”

Xi Zijun smiled, “That’s good to hear.”

After everything was out in the open, Xia Yangyang felt somewhat relieved.

Xi Zijun was unlike any woman she had met before.

She was straightforward, efficient, and commanded a strong presence. She was the type of woman all girls dreamed of becoming.

Xia Yangyang asked, “Why are you telling me all this?”

In fact, there was no need for her to explain so much.

“Because I don’t want to be enemies with you.”

Xia Yangyang laughed, “Who would be foolish enough to make an enemy of you?”

The two reached an understanding. @@novelbin@@

After thinking it over, Xia Yangyang felt that she should also explain about the situation in France.

She said, “At the Count’s dinner, I didn’t intentionally take away your agency rights.”

Xi Zijun smiled, “There’s no need to explain. In business, deception is common. Regardless of whether Mr. Li was intentional or not, I am willing to accept the consequences of the gamble. Moreover, I believe that the matter had nothing to do with you.”
