The Gu Family and the Qin Family had been rivals for a long time. Back when Lu Yun was in power, the Qin Family used an infinite number of dirty tricks to pull her down. Everyone in the industry knew that the Qin Family had been keeping their eyes on Gu Yansheng, wanting to get rid of this heir.

For a long time, Qin Qibai wasn’t able to stand back upright due to the pain. His secretary behind him quickly walked over to help him up.

“Xiao Gu, are you crazy? How can you hit someone?”

As if he didn’t hear, Gu Yansheng walked towards Qin Qibai, who just got up, and punched him in the nose with full force.

“Apologize to him!”

Qin Qibai has never practiced any martial arts; he naturally didn’t stand a chance against Gu Yansheng. He raised his hand to wipe his nosebleed and cursed, “Gu Yansheng, you psychopath! He was the one who hit me first and you want me to apologize?”

Gu Yansheng turned his head to look at the frightened Shen Luo and said calmly, “Which hand did he use to touch you? I’ll cripple it.”

Qin Qibai froze after he heard this and immediately turned around to run. But suddenly, someone pressed him onto the floor from the back. The pain from the head made his eyesight blurry.

Gu Yansheng’s eyes were blank. He raised his hand and punched his face madly as if he was trying to release his anger, “Who let you touch him? Who lets you touch him? How dare you come here and appear in front of my face to disgust me?”

The person in front of him turned blurry, and after shaking his head, what he saw was Tang Shuo’s face…

Gu Yansheng’s fists grew harsher as he punched over and over again towards Qin Qibai.

“Don’t take him away! Don’t touch him! Don’t meet him again! Do you think you’re the only one who dares to go against me? Who do you think you are?”

Seeing that things are going out of control, Mr. Jiang quickly turned his head and said angrily, “What are you waiting for? Go pull them apart!”

The people who were just standing there and watching quickly ordered their secretary to separate them too. Shen Luoan also quickly walked over.

“Yansheng, stop hitting him, okay I’m not angry anymore, my face doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Hearing Shen Luoan’s voice, Gu Yansheng came back to his senses and looked at Qin Qibai on the ground for a moment. He stood up, feeling a little dizzy, and rubbed his head while leaning against the chair for a moment before looking at the people around him.

“You this little bitch, your mouth is full of lies! You were the one who hit me and now you’re acting all innocent, I’ll…”

“Enough! We’re here to discuss the project, not to watch you all fight!”

President Jiang slammed the table and stood up, “Mr. Qin, please don’t take it personally, Mr. Gu is just a little drunk.”

Qin Qibai sneered, “Drunk? What an excellent excuse, do you think I don’t know that this man never gets drunk? Xiao Zhao, go get more people, I’ll beat him to death tonight.”

“Enough! We’re here to talk about the project!”

“Fine, for Mr. Jiang’s sake, you’re going to get lucky tonight.”

Mr. Jiang summarized each company’s proposal, and then finally announced that it was Gu Yansheng who would receive this project. Hearing this, Qin Qibai’s face changed, and stood up immediately.

“What? Gu Yansheng? Mr. Jiang, didn’t you tell my father that the Qin Family would be more suitable?”

“Yes, it was true that the Qin Family was my best choice, but after hearing Gu Corporation’s plan, I changed my mind.”

Gu Yansheng sat on the side feeling dizzy while looking back at everyone’s glances.

Mr. Jiang stood up, looking at everyone, and said calmly, “Then that’s all for today. I look forward to working with everyone next time.”

“Xiao Li, bring Mr. Gu home, I think he’s very drunk, go get him some hangover soup.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Li quickly went to help Gu Yansheng walk towards the door. Shen Luoan also reached out his hand to support his other arm.

As everyone stood up to get out, Qin Qibai looked at Gu Yansheng with anger.

“Gu Yansheng, just wait, this debt will be settled sooner or later. I’ll make you regret what you did today!”

“Mr. Qin, how are you going to make him regret? You can’t beat him in a fight and didn’t get the project either. Can’t you tell that Mr. Jiang is just favoring Gu Yansheng?”

“And you said that you were confident you’re going to get the project, didn’t the Gu family win after all? And you’re beaten to the ground like a dog, tsk tsk, it was so pathetic I couldn’t even watch.”

Qin Qibai looked at the mocking people and the anger grew in his eyes. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, “Gu Yansheng…”

Looking at Gu Yansheng and Shen Luoan not too far away, his eyes suddenly flashed.

“The husband of the Gu Corporation…

“It seems that Gu Yansheng cares about his partner a lot. Interesting things are going to be fun. I figured out a way for this kid to spit out the project, and that bitch, I wouldn’t let him go easily!”

Qin Qibai waved irritably and the secretary behind him handed over his phone.

“Hey, Sun Qi, I found something for you to do.”

Xiao Li helped Gu Yansheng into the car and closed the door. Then he looked at Shen Luoan behind, “Mr. Gu is quite drunk, I’ll bring him back now. Mr. Shen, please take a taxi.”

“What? What do you mean? He said I could go…”

“Mr. Shen, I’m sorry, Mr. Gu’s not sober right now, I don’t want him to be with someone else, in case someone has any dirty thoughts.”

After that, he opened the door and got into the car, leaving behind only a pale-faced Shen Luoan frozen in his spot.

Xiao Li parked the car in the yard, and he opened the door to help Gu Yansheng out. Then he shouted towards the house, “Uncle Xu! Uncle Xu, are you there? Come and help me.”

Uncle Xu quickly walked out after hearing the voice. Seeing the way Gu Yansheng was, he immediately went forward to help him, “What happened? Why did he drink so much?”

The two helped Gu Yansheng onto the sofa and poured him a cup of water.

“He was talking to Mr. Jiang and people from other companies about the project. For some reason, Mr. Gu just sat there and kept drinking, and even beat President Qin from the Qin Family.”

“What? Did he beat someone from the Qin Family? Master Yuanfeng isn’t here, Xiao Li, why didn’t you stop him?”

“At the time Shen Luoan was there too. Mr. Gu hit Mr. Qin because of Shen Luoan, no one present dared to stop them, I… I couldn’t really do anything either…”

Uncle Xu suddenly heard a noise upstairs. He turned around and saw that it was Wen Niannan coming down from upstairs.

“S…sir.

Wen Niannan looked at the person on the sofa who was continuously rubbing his head and asked, “Is he drunk?”

“Yes, he drank too much while discussing the project and just came home.”

“Tell Aunt Lan to cook him a bowl of hangover soup and help him go to the room to rest for a bit.”

With that, Wen Niannan turned to leave for upstairs.

“Sir.”

“Mm? Is there anything else? Wen Niannan turned his head and looked at Uncle Xu with confusion.

“Uh… Xiao Li needs to quickly return to the company to do something. I can’t help him alone, sir, can you help me bring him up?”

Uncle Xu turned to give Xiao Li an eye signal and looked towards the door.

“Ah… yes, I still have something, something important, I’ll be leaving now.”

“Wait, Xiao Li you…” Wen Niannan was a little startled when he saw Xiao Li leaving in such a hurry.

“Sir, let’s bring him to the stairs. Please help me.”

Wen Niannan looked again at the man on the sofa. He frowned and closed his eyes. He bit his lips.

“Alright.”

Uncle Xu helped Gu Yansheng to the bed and placed his head against the pillow. Then he turned to the person behind him, “Sir, please take care of your husband, I’ll go make the hangover soup.”

“Me? By myself… Uncle Xu, I think it’s better if I go make the soup…

“No need, no need,” Uncle Xu quickly shook his hand and left and closed the door.

Wen Niannan leaned against the closet and looked at Gu Yansheng sleeping soundly on the bed. There was an inexplicable expression in his eyes.

“Ugh… my head hurts… hurts so bad…”

The man on the bed suddenly moved. His brow frowned and seemed to feel a little sick as if he was very uncomfortable.

Wen Niannan suddenly showed some panic in his eyes as he stepped back, afraid that he would wake Gu Yansheng up.

Perhaps it was really because he drank too much, Gu Yansheng fell back asleep, with his mouth still muttering something.

“My head hurts…”

Wen Niannan hesitated when he saw him holding his head painfully. In the end, he still walked over and pressed his hand against the hand.

Looking at the man in the bed gradually relaxing his brows, a trace of sadness appeared in Wen Niannan’s eyes.

What am I doing? I don’t care about him anymore… Why am I being soft-hearted again seeing him in pain?

“Gu Yansheng… I bet you never thought that the teenager who you accidentally helped would do this to you… If you knew what would happen, would you still have helped me?”

“I am always grateful to you, and it wasn’t until later that I realized I liked you… but I felt inferior, so inferior that I didn’t dare to speak to you. I only dared to secretly look at you behind your back, not even daring to approach…

“Gu Yansheng… how good it would be if we never met… You won’t be like this if we never met.”

“Why reach out your hand to pull me out of that darkness, but still shove me into the mud? Why give me hope and then cruelly take it away…”

Wen Niannan’s eyes turned red and they were full of pain. He turned and was about to leave.

“Don’t go, don’t go…”

Wen Niannan froze in place. His pale face slowly turned to look at Gu Yansheng.

“Don’t go… let me see… your face… necklace… your necklace is here with me… don’t go…

What Gu Yansheng suddenly said surprised Wen Niannan. He was dreaming, dreaming about the kidnapping that happened that year.

When the quilt slipped down and Wen Niannan helped to cover him, his hand suddenly grabbed his, holding him tightly and pulling him towards him.

Wen Niannan started to panic again. Looking at the face that was only inches away, he struggled to break free but was unable to.

The rings on their fingers met each other. Wen Niannan was stunned and looked at the person on the bed.
