"This is..." Su Jinyu stared blankly at the document in his hand, the thin paper seemed to be heavy, so heavy that he could hardly hold it.
"The dowry." The man stepped forward, his warm hand steadied his slightly trembling hand, and his voice was low and gentle.
Su Jinyu: "I know, but... why?"
He looked up, his beautiful eyes filled with dazed fear.
Gu Peilang's heart ached slightly from his gaze, and he stretched out his hand to take the man into his arms.
"You are a man first, and my lover second." Gu Peilang hugged the person in his arms, his eyes dropped slightly, and fell on the other's long and thick eyelashes, a low voice slowly sounded, "I always worry about me If you go to the company, you will be bored at home alone... If you don't want to go to my company, I can only think of this way."
"I don't want you to be wronged."
The edge of the paper in his hand was wrinkled, Su Jinyu blinked his eyes, and his heart was sour: "I don't feel wronged."
Gu Peilang hugged him tightly and didn't speak, Su Jinyu paused, then said, "Pei Lang, actually you don't need this..."
"Shh..." The man raised his index finger and placed his index finger on his mouth, and blinked at him, his dark eyes filled with a little smile.
Su Jinyu had never seen such a vivid side of the other party before, and he was stunned for a while.
Gu Peilang raised his hand and touched his face.
"I want this," he said. "You deserve it. You can't refuse it."
Su Jinyu still didn't understand what the other party meant by what he deserved. Butler Zhang, who was wearing a black professional suit, appeared out of nowhere like a ghost.
"Sir, there is someone from the Su family."
Hearing this, Su Jinyu subconsciously looked at the man in front of him.
Gu Peilang didn't seem surprised at all, he patted the person in his arms: "You go upstairs to rest first, I'll be up in a while."
Su Jinyu looked a little hesitant. He didn't know whether it was Su Jianghai or Su Qing himself. Since he beat Su Jinyu last time, he has not heard from the Su family for a long time.
I don't know why the other party suddenly came to the door this time.
Gu Peilang saw the worry in his eyes, and his heart softened.
"Don't worry, it'll be alright."
Su Jinyu turned back and went upstairs one step at a time. Butler Zhang, who had only said one sentence from beginning to end, said that the two people after their engagement were so sticky that they couldn't see it.
"Let them in."
Gu Peilang turned around and walked to the sofa beside him and sat down, his slender index fingers hooked on the bow tie and loosened slightly, then he raised his head to look at the woman in front of him.
The man sat idle on the sofa, with an expressionless face with a bit of inhuman indifference, which made Butler Zhang a little stunned. She hadn't seen her husband show such an expression for a long time.
"Not going yet?"
Gu Peilang lowered his head and casually adjusted the cuffs on his wrist, then raised his head and glanced at her lightly.
Butler Zhang came back to his senses, nodded and turned to leave.
Outside Gu's house, Su Jianghai, who was blocked outside the gate, looked at the brightly lit mansion in front of him, and the resentment in his eyes almost erupted. The once high-spirited man is no longer the same as he used to be. His gray hair and slightly hunched body make him look a year or two older than the old man Su beside him, not to mention that half of his face is still swollen.
Old Man Su leaned on a cane, and looked sideways to see all the expressions on his face. The cane in his hand slammed the pestle on the ground, making a dull sound.
"Put the expression on your face, don't forget what we are here for today!"
Su Jianghai's jaw tensed, his hand hidden in his cuff clenched into a fist, and after a while he sneered: "You don't need to remind me, don't speak to me in that disgusting tone, I don't know. I thought you were so good to me."
Since the father and son have completely torn their faces, this way of speaking has become the norm between the two.
Su Qing's face, which was still gray and defeated after recovering from a serious illness, turned red with anger.
"That's what you said to your dad?! I'm not for you, but for whom?"
Su Jianghai sneered, staring at Su Qing with a pair of eyes, as if he had seen through everything: "For whom, you know in your heart."
Su Qing was blocked by his words, and the locked door opened slowly and automatically to both sides with a soft click. The intercom on the side transmitted the unwavering voice from Butler Zhang.
The father and son temporarily put away their contradictions and walked in together.
Outside the gray-white mansion, Butler Zhang stood with his hands down, and when he saw the two people walking towards him from a distance, he turned slightly sideways and made a gesture of invitation: "My husband is waiting for the two of them."
The woman's attitude is not respectful, it can even be said to be a bit perfunctory. The expression on Mr. Su's face is a bit ugly. How could he have been insulted like this before.
Suppressing the displeasure in his heart, the old man lifted his foot and entered the door. In the living room, a man in a black suit sat with his back to them, and didn't look back after hearing the sound of the door opening.
Butler Zhang stepped forward quickly and said in a low voice, "Sir, someone is here."
The man's low and cold voice could not hear any emotion: "I see, you go down first."
Su Qing and Su Jianghai stepped forward after Butler Zhang left, their eyes subconsciously looking at each other's legs.
Gu Pei Lang looked sideways at the two of them slightly, his eyes from top to bottom.
Even though they were sitting on the sofa and looking up at the person, the two who were standing still were a little breathless.
"Mr. Su, long time no see."
The man raised his lips with a chuckle and stood up from the sofa, not missing the shock in the eyes of the two of them.
"Mr. Gu, I'm here this time because I want to tell you something."
The casual curvature of Gu Peilang's lips did not change in the slightest. He sat back again, leaning back slightly against the soft chair back, his slender and straight legs folded together gracefully.
"Sit down and talk."
Su Qing and Su Jianghai looked at each other and sat down opposite Gu Peilang.
"We're here today because we want to ask President Gu for help." Su Qing didn't beat around the bush, and explained his purpose directly.
Gu Peilang chuckled: "Mr. Su is so direct, are you sure I will help you?"
Su Qing smiled without saying a word, only took out a USB flash drive from his side pocket, put it on the coffee table and pushed it in the direction of the man.
"Gu always agrees."
Gu Peilang raised his eyebrows as he looked at the things on the coffee table, and the corner of Su Jianghai's mouth beside Su Qing raised a malicious arc.
The man glanced at him lightly, then stretched out his hand to pick up the USB flash drive and play with it.
"what is this?"
"Something that President Gu is interested in." Su Jianghai opened his mouth, deliberately prolonging his voice and pretending to be mysterious.
With a soft "snap", the black USB flash drive was thrown back on the table, and the smile on Su Jianghai's face froze at the corner of his lips.
