Ning Li suddenly choked up in her throat.
She lowered her eyes, and her breathing seemed to be quiet for a moment.
Then, she raised her other hand and wiped away the tears for Mrs. Gu.
The hot and humid heat almost melted a scar on her heart.
Gu Tingfeng took the initiative to step forward and said:
"Mother, the appraisal has already been done, just wait for the results tomorrow. Let's bring sugar first—take Ali back?"
His voice finally reminded everyone present.
Mrs. Gu finally came back to her senses and nodded again and again:
"Yes, yes, go back first, go back first."
Gu Tingfeng looked at Ning Li and said:
"A Li, the room at Jinshui No. 1 Courtyard has been packed. The car is outside, let's go now."
Ning Li's lips moved slightly, and before she had time to speak, she suddenly heard Shen Zhijin beside her speak.
His tone is straight, his voice is clear and firm.
"Today, she will go back with me first."
Ning Li turned her head and looked at Shen Zhijin.
On his handsome and clear face, his expression was as calm as ever, but under that calmness, there seemed to be endless undercurrents surging.
His tone was more stubborn than ever.
In my impression, Shen Zhijin's temperament is proud and indifferent.
Most of the time, he doesn't seem to care about anything, and nothing can cause him too many mood swings.
So much so that it often makes him seem like an indifferent person.
Especially when facing the Gu family, he seemed to have put away all his temper and edges.
However, at this time, he finally stopped giving in and compromising, revealing the pride and sharpness buried deep in his bones.
Gu Tingfeng frowned.
"Shen Zhijin, what are you talking about?"
Shen Zhijin's eyes are cold:
"I said, she must go back with me today."
There is still one night before the results are released tomorrow.
He must guard her, never leave her.
Some mistakes, once made, the price paid is already painful enough.
He spent half his life atoning for that mistake.
Until now, he would never give in again.
Aware of his firm attitude, Gu Tingfeng frowned even tighter.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
It was as if there was an invisible string quietly tightening between Shen Zhijin and the Gu family.
No one wants to let go.
Lu Huaiyu's eyes swept over the people present, and then he raised his feet to Ning Li's side.
"Ali."
He called her name with a low and gentle voice,
"Where do you want to go back?"
In this battle, it doesn't matter whoever wins in the end, Gu Jia or Shen Zhijin.
For him, the most important thing is only her.
Her will trumps all.
This sound finally reminded everyone present.
Mrs. Gu patted Ning Li's hand lightly, and said:
"Yes, yes. Listen to Ali. Wherever Ali wants to go, go there, okay?"
Ning Li raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Huaiyu.
Lu Huai and Wen Sheng said:
"Just now I talked to Mr. Mei on the phone. He said that if you want to go there, he will wait for you at any time."
Originally, Mr. Mei and the others also wanted to come, but they were worried that there would be too many people, which would cause trouble and pressure for her, so they restrained themselves and waited at Jinse Bay.
Ning Li was silent for a moment.
"I want to go back to the Shuiyuan family."
It's only been a few hours since Shen Zhijin said those words to her at noon.
However, to her, it seemed like a lifetime had passed.
Countless pictures flashed back and forth in her mind, almost giving her a splitting headache.
Before the result came out, she didn't know where she should go.
She wasn't even sure who she was yet.
Hearing her answer, everyone present was stunned.
Lu Huai said "OK".
After a while, old man Gu said:
"Then, go back to the Shuiyuan family first, and let Ali rest well."
He let go, and the rest of the Gu family didn't agree, and there was no room for refutation.
Shen Zhijin looked at Ning Li.
He could confront the Gu family, but he couldn't say no to her.
All the persistence at this moment is no match for her saying "I think".
His Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was slightly hoarse:
"good."
The deadlock was broken, and the question of where to stay tonight finally had a unified answer.
A group of people walked out of the gate of the identification center.
Looking at the cars lined up in the courtyard, Ning Li pursed her lips slightly.
She came here with Shen Zhijin, and Lu Huaiyu arrived later.
After that, it was the Gu family.
these cars.
Which one she followed seemed inappropriate.
Everyone else looked over, obviously waiting for her choice.
After a while, she suddenly turned her head and shouted to the side.
"Gu Siyang."
Suddenly being called, Gu Siyang was startled, subconsciously responded:
"Why!"
"Lend me your car."
"Ah? Oh oh! Good good!"
Gu Siyang frantically dug out the car keys and hurried forward to hand them over.
The moment he handed the car keys to Ning Li, Gu Siyang instantly felt all the eyes around him focus on him.
The corners of his eyes twitched.
too much pressure
Especially the death stare from his old father made him even more anxious.
A strong desire to survive forced him to speak:
"Ning Li, shall I go with you?"
Ning Li glanced at him lightly:
"Lend me the car for a day, and I will drive back by myself."
Gu Siyang quickly said: "Hey! Okay! You can drive as long as you want!"
Ning Li thanked her, and walked towards the supercar parked on the edge.
She unlocked it, got in the car, and buckled up her seat belt.
Almost at the same time, Lu Huai and his black Bentley returned.
Shen Zhijin also got into his car.
Mr. Gu said:
"Send Ali back."
With a sound, everyone in the Gu family got into the car.
The red supercar drove out slowly.
Afterwards, several luxury cars followed closely behind.
It was already evening, and the sun was setting, turning the sky into a warm orange.
The cold wind blows.
Ning Li didn't feel cold, but thought it would make her more sober.
She seemed to have thought about many things, but also seemed to think about nothing.
On both sides of the road, the lights are on.
Many passers-by looked this way, with shock on their faces.
In Beijing, luxury cars are not uncommon.
However, such top-level ones are still a minority.
Especially when so many vehicles appeared at once.
All the cars followed the red supercar one by one, keeping a close distance and following closely.
Half an hour later, Ning Li arrived at the Shuiyuan family.
It was probably the first time for the guard to see such an astonishing lineup of luxury cars, and he let them pass without asking.
Ning Li parked the car downstairs, got out of the car and said goodbye to them one by one.
"Master Gu, Mrs. Gu, you have been on the go all day today, go back and rest early."
Then came Gu Tingfeng and the others.
The last is Shen Zhijin.
Ning Li was outside the car window, facing Shen Zhijin quietly for a moment.
"Mr. Shen, goodbye."
Shen Zhijin said "hmm".
Ning Li turned around and went upstairs.
She entered the elevator alone, returned to the ninth floor, opened the door and entered the room.
click.
The door is locked.
She closed her eyes and leaned behind the door for a while.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally opened her eyes and walked to the living room.
Just as she was about to close the curtains, she glanced downstairs inadvertently, her eyes froze suddenly.
All the vehicles were still parked downstairs, waiting in silence.
