Chapter 516: 516, no one can give her happiness except me
Author: Qin Ruoxu MACHINE TRANSLATION
Mu Yuanqiao’s eyes darkened. Although he understood her hint, he did not let go.
In fact, he was not willing to let go at all.
He was unwilling to let go of this pair of hands that he had finally managed to hold with great difficulty.
“Guoguo, I know that you and Lin Nancheng broke up. ”
The sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling window passed through the transparent glass and fell on Mu Yuanqiao’s body. The man in front of her was clearly the man she had a crush on for many years, but at this moment, she actually could not remember what she liked about him.
Perhaps from the moment he chose to leave and marry another woman, she had already given up on him completely.
There were even many times when she thanked him from the bottom of her heart for his heartlessness. Of course, she was even more grateful that his heartlessness was able to make her forget completely and completely.
“Mr. Mu, what exactly are you trying to say? ”
Song Guo once again tried to free her fair little hand from his wide, warm, and big palm.
The man sensed her intentions, but his big hand held her little hand even harder. He was unwilling to let her free herself, as if if he compromised this time, then there would really be no possibility for them in this lifetime.
The power between a man and a woman was too great. Song Guo struggled for a while and then gave up.
Then, she raised her head to look at him. The expression on her exquisite and beautiful face was still the same as before. The smile just now, but there was no warmth in her expression and smile. It was so cold that it was somewhat heartless.
“Do you think that Song Qishan is crazy poor? As long as he is a man, it’s fine. Do you think that I will definitely fall for you? ”
Speaking up to this point, her smile became even brighter. “Or… do you think that Lin Nancheng is a very easy man to talk to? After breaking up with him, he immediately reconciled with you. Will he have no reaction at all and even send you his blessings? ”
“Mr. Mu, if that’s what you think, then you’re gravely mistaken. First of all, I especially don’t like to go back to the past. Second, after I’ve been with a man like Lin Nancheng, it doesn’t matter who I marry, but it definitely won’t be you. ”
She could put a price on her marriage and body, and it didn’t matter to her who liked it.
But… …
She absolutely couldn’t allow him to do the same thing as other men in the name of love.
To put it bluntly, he was no different from those men.
Because he knew that without the Song Family and Song Qishan, they would never have any interaction in this lifetime. And he used this point to seduce her bit by bit, Seduce Song Qishan.
To be honest, although he seemed to be excellent in all aspects, to her, he was the worst choice.
Because once she chose him, the suffering and torture she had suffered would become a joke, a joke buried in the depths of her heart by the years.
She didn’t want to taint the beautiful feelings she had given up, so even if she was tempted, she would never waver.
“Guoguo, can we not talk about our past debts? Can we only talk about our current feelings? ”
Song Guo slowly shook her head. “I’m sorry, I can’t. ”
If she had forgotten about the suffering and torture, then what was the difference between her and a walking corpse?
Since the price of choosing him was to become a walking corpse, she might as well go back to Lin Nancheng. At least she really loved him and didn’t want to leave him.
“Guoguo, I don’t want to force you, and I don’t want to use any means to make you listen to me. But… I can’t just stand by and watch those men touch me and do nothing… ”
“Those men? ”
Song Guo raised her beautiful eyebrows. Her voice was warm and cool, like a gust of wind in summer or a ray of warm sun in winter. However, every word she said struck into his heart “I want to ask Mr. Mu, what kind of men are those men? Obscene? Greasy? Or compared to you, they can be described as miserable? ”
She did not listen to his answer and answered the question directly, “perhaps my reputation is worthy of being with such a man, so you don’t have to feel regretful or unwilling. Besides… I really am not worthy of you. ”
“whether it is a few years ago or now, I have never been worthy of you for a moment. So, Mr. Mu, please let go! ”
She said the next few words very sincerely. She was trying to persuade him, but of course, she was also trying to persuade herself.
“I’m sorry, there’s something wrong with my way of speaking… ”
“Mr. Mu, there’s no need for you to apologize to me at all. I’m no longer a teenage girl. I don’t care about those rumors anymore. Of course, I don’t care about what other people think. ”
This time, she used all her strength and finally broke free from his big hand. “I wonder if Mr. Mu has heard that you can’t take back what you’ve done? It’s the best choice for you and me. ”
After saying that, she didn’t wait for him to react. She walked towards the door of the Western restaurant step by step in her ten-centimeter high heels.
The sunlight was a little dim, and her silhouette was shrouded by the dim light. It actually made her feel as if a lifetime had passed.
There had never been a moment like this where she felt that they could never go back.
Regardless of whether he was threatening, bribing, or using any means, she would never look back.
Mu Yuanqiao’s hands that hung by his side slowly clenched into fists. Only when the woman’s slender back disappeared from his sight did he stride away.
…
Returning to the old house that her mother had left for her, Song Guo hurriedly kicked off her high heels and threw herself onto the soft sofa.
Although she had slept for most of the day, she had used up too much of her mind and energy on this morning’s blind date. She only felt sleepy and tired. She couldn’t even be bothered to take off her makeup. She just wanted to sleep like that.
Just as she closed her eyes, the phone in her bag vibrated. She pressed the answer button, and grandma’s gentle voice came from the other side, “Guo Guo, are you free tomorrow? Your father said that he misses you. He wants… to see you. ”
Ever since her mother passed away, Song Guo had been living alone outside and rarely went home.
When she heard that Song Qishan wanted to see her, her crystal-clear eyes were instantly filled with traces of mockery. “Oh? Did he miss me? or… did he want to get the money quickly so that he could send us away? ”
On the other end, grandma was silent for a moment. “Guoguo, no matter what, he’s still your father. ”
“Father? He doesn’t deserve to be a father at all. ”
Grandma shook her head and sighed. She said earnestly, “Guoguo, you’re still young. I don’t want you to live in hatred because of me and your grandfather. I don’t want you to ruin your beautiful life… ”
“Grandma, don’t worry. I know what to do. ”
Grandma called her name again. “Guo Guo… ”
Song Guo frowned and interrupted her. “Grandma, I still have a lot of work to do in the afternoon. Tell that person that I can’t go back. ”
“okay, that’s it. I’m hanging up. ”
After the communication was cut off, the surging sleepiness instantly disappeared without a trace. She tilted her head slightly and looked at the landscape outside the window and the city lights at the foot of the mountain.
She was lost in her thoughts for a long time before she withdrew her gaze. A thin layer of mist had unknowingly filled her eyes. Under the Bright Crystal Lights, there was a large area of sadness.
She felt as if there was a hole in her heart, and the wind kept pouring in.
…
Song Guo had insomnia because of her grandmother’s words. She had just fallen asleep in a daze when the phone next to her pillow started to vibrate.
She covered herself with the blanket and rolled a few times before she unwillingly took the phone and answered it. Due to her morning mood, her tone was especially unpleasant. “Who is this? ”
“Miss Song, I’m sorry to call you so early. I’m a nurse from Lin city’s private sanatorium. Your grandfather’s hospitalization fees have already reached the renewal period. Your father said that he won’t renew the fees, so I had to call you and ask you to renew the fees by this afternoon. Otherwise, the hospital will stop all treatment. ”
In order to force her to go back and look for him, Song Qishan had really gone to any lengths. He had actually done such an inhuman thing.
He was indeed a mercenary businessman.
Song Guo gripped the thin phone so hard that her white fingers turned white. After a few seconds, she said in a low voice, “okay, I got it. I will renew the fees before the afternoon. ”
“Okay, thank you for your cooperation, Miss Song. Goodbye. ”
After hanging up the phone, she first called her grandmother to make sure that everything was fine on her grandfather’s side. Then, she dialed Song Qishan’s number. After a few beeps, the other end picked up. “Guo Guo. ”
Song Guo said concisely, “I’ll drive back to the song family to see you in the afternoon. ”
Song Qishan was not surprised that she would say that. It was as if he had predicted that she would call. “Yes, I’ll be back for lunch. I’ll get the maid to cook something that you like. ”
“No need. I’ll go back after lunch. I’m afraid that if I see you and your girlfriend, who is old enough to be your daughter’s new lover, I’ll be so disgusted that I won’t be able to eat. ”
After saying that, she pressed the hang-up Button. After taking a deep breath, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Then, she washed up and went out.
…
At six o’clock in the evening, in a high-end Western restaurant.
Lin Nancheng had a social event that he could not turn down at night, but Gu Xichen said on the phone that he had urgent matters to attend to, so he told him to rush over. He knew that Gu Xichen never joked about serious matters, so he turned down everything and rushed over.
However, he did not expect that when the waiter pushed open the door of the private room, he would not see Gu Xichen, but Mu Yuanqiao.
After the initial few seconds of surprise, Lin Nancheng strode over to Mu Yuanqiao’s side and sat down. There was an ambiguous smile in his voice “I wonder how much reward President Mu gave President Gu to make him work so hard? ”
At this point, he raised his exquisite eyebrows. “and… he helped keep it a secret. ”
“Let me guess. The Best Resource President Mu has now is the land in the east of the city that he bought at a low price to carry out the redevelopment project… ”
He paused for two seconds. “So… in order to get President Gu to ask me out, President Mu gave the right to develop this land to President Gu, right? ”
Mu Yuanqiao took out a cigarette case from his trouser pocket and lit it up. After taking a deep breath, he replied indifferently, “nothing can be hidden from President Lin’s sharp eyes! ”
As he said that, he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to Lin Nancheng beside him. “I heard that President Gu said that President Lin likes this brand of cigarettes very much? ”
Lin Nancheng glanced at it but didn’t take it. “I used to like it, but I don’t like it anymore! ”
“President Lin doesn’t seem like a man who likes the new and hates the old! ”
Mu Yuanqiao’s words were filled with 30% flattery and 70% friendliness. It was as if he had specially come to talk to him about something, so he deliberately lowered his attitude.
And this so-called ‘thing’ , he didn’t need to think carefully to know that it must be about Song Guo.
“CEO mu doesn’t look like a man who knows how to beat around the Bush, so if you have something to say, just say it! ”
Lin Nancheng took out a cigarette case from his trouser pocket in a consistent manner. After he took out a cigarette and lit it, he took a deep breath and said indifferently, “I’m very busy. For the sake of meeting tonight, I’ve even rejected a very important social event. I hope CEO MU’s words won’t make me regret rejecting this social event. ”
The implication was that he had asked a middleman to meet him after going through so much trouble. If it was just to say some irrelevant words, he might not be as easy to talk to as he looked.
Mu Yuanqiao obviously understood this logic, so he did not continue to compliment him. Instead, he smiled and said, “I feel that as long as it’s about Song Guo, Mr. Lin should be very willing to hear it. I think… Mr. Lin should not regret this situation. ”
Lin Nancheng did not say anything. Instead, he sunk his broad back into the back of the SOFA, looking like he was listening attentively.
Mu Yuanqiao looked at him deeply through the dim light of the ceiling, then said, “Director Lin, I think the people you sent to Guoguo’s side will tell you all of her whereabouts every day. I won’t go into detail. I just want to say, please let her go. ”
Lin Nancheng spread his hands and raised his exquisite eyebrows. He smiled and said, “excuseme? ”
“I confessed my feelings to her today. It’s the same as telling her my cards… ”
Mu Yuanqiao deliberately paused for a few seconds. Lin Nancheng, on the other hand, did not seem interested at all. He casually replied, “mm-hmm, continue. ”
“She said that you wouldn’t agree to her immediately being with other men after breaking up with you, especially me… ”
Mu Yuanqiao carefully tested Lin Nancheng’s intentions and bottom line. He only continued to speak after he was sure that he would not reveal any emotions “Chief Lin, Song Guo used to be a naive little girl. She didn’t know how to please men, and she also didn’t know how to use other methods to make herself take fewer detours. Other than me, no one can give her happiness. ”
“other than you, no one else can give her happiness? Is that what she told you? ”
Lin Nancheng asked back word by word, “if I agree to you pursuing her, she will obediently reconcile with you and marry you, right? ”
“I don’t dare to say 100% , but there should be an 80% chance… ”
“Sure! ”
Lin Nancheng nodded very, very gently, “I don’t have any objections. ”
“What do you want? ”
Besides the land in the east of the city that attracted attention, Mu Yuanqiao had another project that people had always talked about.
It was the largest amusement park development project in Lin city. Of course, it was also the most profitable project in Lin city.
It should not be too difficult for the annual turnover to exceed 12th place if someone wanted to win this project.
The reason why Gu Xichen did not want this project was because he felt that what he had done was not enough to make Mu Yuanqiao pay such a big price. However, Lin Nancheng should be able to easily make him suffer a heavy loss.
This was probably the power of love.
“What else do you have? ”
Lin Nancheng did not answer him directly. Instead, he looked at him with a smile as if he was waiting for him to surrender voluntarily.
Mu Yuanqiao looked at him for a few seconds before he slowly said, “I can give you the development project of the amusement park, but the premise is that everything about song Guo will no longer have anything to do with you. ”
“since ancient times, heroes have been unable to overcome beauties. It seems that President Mu is no exception! ”
Lin Nancheng leaned forward and flicked the cigarette ash that was too long between his fingers. Then, as if it was pure curiosity or an instinctive reaction, he asked in a low and indifferent tone, “it’s just that… is it worth paying such a huge price because of a woman? ”
Mu Yuanqiao didn’t say anything. Instead, he leaned forward and poured himself a glass of wine. Then, he downed it in one gulp. Obviously, when he made this decision, he had a particularly serious psychological struggle. However, in the end, the beauty still defeated the kingdom.
“other than that, I’m even more curious about… ” he paused, then moved closer to Mu Yuanqiao’s ear and said faintly, “the wealth obtained from my ex-wife, and then raising the woman that I once abandoned, doesn’t Mu Yuanqiao count as a Weirdo? ”
“perhaps. ”
Mu Yuanqiao openly admitted his sarcasm, “so, what is chief Lin’s choice? Can you tell me now? ”
No Man could resist this temptation. No matter how powerful and powerful he, Lin Nancheng, was just a businessman. As long as he was a businessman, he would definitely put profit first. He had even thought of the scene he would agree to.
However, some results were often contrary to his imagination.
Lin Nancheng took another deep breath of the cigarette in his hand. After inhaling and exhaling the smoke, he slowly said in a low and hoarse voice that was tainted by the smoke, “I’m sorry, chief Mu. I may have to disappoint you. I’ve always been determined to get Song Guo. ”
Mu Yuanqiao frowned. “Director Lin, could it be that your estrangement and the pressure you deliberately put on Song Guo only turned your breakup into a long quarrel? ”
“Do you have a problem with that? ”
Lin Nancheng raised his eyebrows and asked, “but even if director Mu has a problem with it, it can’t affect my choice. Of course, it can’t affect Song Guo’s choice either. ”
Putting aside whether Song Guo would choose him or not, when Song Guo dealt with the relationship between a man and a woman, she was never sloppy. He knew that she would not go back and eat the grass that she had chewed on.
Mu Yuanqiao was not bad, but compared to Mu Yuanqiao, she preferred to find a man who was nothing but a safe haven for her as long as she could marry him.
Because in her opinion, a marriage without love did not matter to any man, but that man could never be him or Mu Yuanqiao.
“CEO Lin, I’m sure you know how much money the amusement park development project can earn. I won’t be too clear about it… ”
“I’m sorry, CEO Mu. Money doesn’t have much of a temptation to me, but a beauty can. ”
The implication was that he was a man who only loved beauties and did not love the world. Therefore, it was useless to tempt him with anything other than a beauty.
Mu Yuanqiao did not expect Lin Nancheng to reject him so directly. After all, the money earned from the amusement park project was not a small number, but a number that any man would be tempted to hear.
“President Lin’s rejection is so straightforward. It really makes me wonder if you have fallen in love with Song Guo? ”
The word Love was like a luxury to a man like Lin Nancheng. If it was not for the fact that he was in Chengdu, he would not have admitted it.
Lin Nancheng smiled and said in a low voice, “director Mu, this seems to be between me and her. ”
Mu Yuanqiao turned his body and put out the cigarette butt in his hand. Then, he took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and lit it up. The smoke curled up, making his figure even sharper. “Director Lin, don’t you dare to admit that you’re in love with a woman? ”
“Director Mu, allow me to remind you. ”
Mu Yuanqiao also smiled. “okay, I’m all ears. ”
“I’ll say it again. This is between me and her. It has nothing to do with you. If you insist on stepping in, it depends on whether you have the ability to take this foot back. Of course, I’ll wait and see. I also hope that you don’t give up halfway. ”
Provocation, a complete provocation.
Lin Nancheng was a very arrogant person. He rarely tolerated others in his eyes. He, Mu Yuanqiao, was one of them, but the only reason he could tolerate others was because he was once the man that Song Guo had a crush on for many years.
“Director Lin, you’re also a businessman. You probably don’t want to see both sides suffer. If you think that the amusement park project isn’t enough to attract you, I can give you all the projects that I can afford. As long as you’re willing to let go of Song Guo, don’t use this method to imprison her heart. ”
Song Guo said that to him because she was indeed afraid of Lin Nancheng, and because she did have Lin Nancheng in her heart.
Obviously, Lin Nancheng was not really letting go, but was playing hard to get. With this psychological tactic, Song Guo’s faith was slowly falling apart.
And the moment it fell apart was also the moment she returned to his arms.
He had meticulously planned for her for so many years, and he would never allow such a thing to happen.
“Imprison her heart? ”
Lin Nancheng seemed to be surprised that he would say that, so he smiled and said, “I wonder which eye President Mu has seen me imprison her heart? She is clearly torturing me, making me feel embarrassed! ”
After hearing this, Mu Yuanqiao cursed in his heart. He was really a brother businessman. With just a few words, he had completely abandoned himself.
It was as if he had really let go.
But in reality, there was a rope in his hand.
That’s right, he was flying a kite at Song Guo. As long as there was the slightest movement, he would tighten the rope in his hand, and the seemingly free kite would immediately return to his hand.
“President Lin, is there a point in talking in circles like this? ”
“Director Mu, if I say something meaningless, will you leave immediately? ”
The two men looked at each other through the dim light from the ceiling. A few seconds later, Mu Yuanqiao replied indifferently “Director Lin, if it’s a man, we’ll settle it the way a man would. Using that kind of shady method to make things difficult for a woman is really disgusting. ”
