Chapter 88: They all have their own purpose

After dinner.

Xiang Yanhua called Gu Jingzhan to the study, saying that he wanted him to accompany him to drink tea and play chess, but in fact, he had something to say to him alone.

In the study, the fragrance of tea curled up, and the two sat opposite each other, the chess game was set, and each of them had their own thoughts.

Xiang Yanhua gently twisted the white chess piece and said in a calm voice: I have heard a little about your Gu family’s affairs recently.

Gu Jingzhan’s eyes moved slightly, and his face remained calm and composed. I will handle the affairs of the Gu family properly, you don’t have to worry.

I naturally believe in your ability.

Xiang Yanhua dropped the white chess piece on the chessboard, and the knocking sound of the chess piece echoed in the silent air.

It’s just Qiaoqiao…

Don’t worry, father-in-law, I will do my best to protect Qiaoqiao and never let her get involved in the disputes of the Gu family.

Gu Jingzhan interrupted Xiang Yanhua and made a firm promise to him.

In fact, he was afraid that Xiang Yanhua would persuade him to divorce Xiang Wanqiao because he was worried about Xiang Wanqiao’s safety.

Seeing his nervous tone, Xiang Yanhua couldn’t help but smile, Xiao Qiao is your legitimate wife, how could she stay out of it and not be involved in this dispute?

Gu Jingzhan moved his thin lips slightly, and was about to speak.

But Xiang Yanhua raised his hand, motioning him to be patient, listen to me first.

Gu Jingzhan immediately fell silent.

Xiang Yanhua said calmly: I don’t mean to separate you, you don’t have to worry. When encountering difficulties, husband and wife should go hand in hand and face them together.

Hearing him say this, Gu Jingzhan’s nervousness was slightly relieved.

Xiang Yanhua continued: My daughter, as long as she wants to do something, there is nothing she can’t do, and she has the ability, so I’m not worried at all.

He raised his eyes, looked at Gu Jingzhan sincerely, and said to him firmly: Since you are my son-in-law, Xiang Yanhua, you are a part of our Xiang family.

Even if our Xiang family is not as good as the Gu family, I will do my best to support and help you.

Gu Jingzhan was slightly stunned. Although his face still maintained his usual indifference, his gently curled fingers could not cover up the turbulent emotions in his heart at this moment.

If you need anything, you can tell me.

Gu Jingzhan pursed his thin lips, his voice was choked with a little sob, but more respectful: Okay, thank you, father-in-law.

Xiang Yanhua raised his chin slightly and reminded: It’s your turn.

Gu Jingzhan took out a black chess piece from the chess box and slowly placed it on the chessboard.

Xiang Yanhua looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard with a relieved smile on his face.

While playing chess with Gu Jingzhan, he said affirmatively: I always believe in my own vision of people.

Seeing Gu Jingzhan being dragged to play chess, Xiang Wanqiao accompanied Jiang Peijun to chat in the living room.

After receiving the message from Zhou Nian, she went back to her room on the pretext of dealing with work.

Xiang Wanqiao opened her laptop, sat cross-legged on the soft sofa in the bedroom, and began to carefully check the collected information.

As she looked, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

It turned out that Gu Wenhua and Wen Xueru had divorced when Gu Jingzhan was eight years old, but this matter had been suppressed by Mr. Gu and had not been announced to the public.

After Wen Xueru abandoned Gu Jingzhan, she flew to Switzerland that night and never came back until Mrs. Gu’s 70th birthday…

During this time in Switzerland, Wen Xueru reunited with her old lover Yun Zheng.

But at that time, Yun Zheng had already accepted the arrangement of his family, married another woman, and had a child.

This child is Yun Mengxi.

A year ago, Yun Zheng’s wife died of illness, and Wen Xueru recognized Yun Mengxi as her goddaughter.

This time she came back to pave the way for her so-called goddaughter, so that Yun Mengxi could become the glorious Mrs. Gu.

When Gu Wenhua encountered a crisis in the Gu Group, he quickly sold 20% of his shares and ran away to the United States with the money.

At that time, Mr. Gu was in poor health and could only be bedridden.

In desperation, he could only let Gu Jingzhan, who was only 20 years old, stand up and take on the important task of revitalizing the Gu Group.

Gu Wenhua, who ran to the United States, met a woman named Zhuang Meijing in Chinatown not long after, fell in love with her, and gave birth to a son with her, named Gu Haoyu.

It seems that the purpose of Gu Wenhua’s return this time is to take back the Gu Group and pave the way for his eight-year-old son.

No wonder Gu Jingzhan said that day –

It’s not that they don’t like children, they just don’t like me as a child.

Xiang Wanqiao’s eyes were wet, and her heart was clenched, the pain was suffocating.

At this time, Gu Jingzhan and Xiang Yanhua finished playing chess and returned to the room.

Xiang Wanqiao heard a noise at the door, and immediately took a deep breath, holding back the tears in her eyes.

Seeing Gu Jingzhan walking straight towards her, she quietly switched the computer page.

Xiang Wanqiao had a bright smile on her face, and her tone was brisk and natural: I’ve finished playing chess with Dad!

Gu Jingzhan’s deep eyes were as sharp as a hawk, and his eyes passed lightly across her delicate face.

He was silent, walked up to her, and then reached out to close the laptop she placed on her lap.

I can handle the affairs of the Gu family, so don’t worry about it.

Xiang Wanqiao slowly raised her eyes and met his deep gaze.

She knew that Gu Jingzhan was protecting her and not letting her get too involved in the disputes of the Gu family.

Xiang Wanqiao knew that she could not hide from Gu Jingzhan’s eyes, so she opened her lips slightly and said firmly: I want to help you.

Gu Jingzhan stared at her, and his eyes seemed to hide thousands of stars, but they were bottomless.

He was silent for a long time, as if he was weighing something, and finally he only sighed softly.

Gu Jingzhan sat down beside her, opened his arms and took her into his arms, Qiaoqiao, I don’t want you to get involved in the dirty struggles of the Gu family.

A zhan, I know you want to protect me and don’t want me to get hurt. Xiang Wanqiao said, but we are husband and wife, and husband and wife should support each other, right?

Xiang Wanqiao reached out and stroked his cheek, raised her head, and printed a gentle kiss on his lips.

I said, I will protect you.

Gu Jingzhan’s eyes flashed, his palm clasped her neck, and lowered his head to kiss her forehead hard.

Qiaoqiao, I love you.

Xiang Wanqiao curled up the corners of her lips, looked at him affectionately for a few seconds, and suddenly said to him: A zhan, let’s have a baby next year.

Hearing this, Gu Jingzhan was stunned for a moment, his body stiffened slightly, and his expression was a little complicated.

He never thought that Xiang Wanqiao would take the initiative to mention the matter of children.

Because in front of her, he never dared to ask for anything, just hoping to get a little love from her.

Even now that he knows that the person she loves is him, he will still carefully hide his inner desire, for fear of bringing any pressure to her.

Gu Jingzhan twitched the corners of his lips slightly, trying to stabilize his voice, and replied: Okay.
