The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 325: Password Proposal?

"Gu Li, why do I feel that this is different from what you said before?"

At the door of Gong Ming's study, Lin Xiao, who had passed through unhindered, said to Gu Li.

"This one……"

Gu Li looked a little embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "I haven't really been here. I got the information before, so there may be some discrepancies."

"Minor discrepancy?" Nan Xiang's voice suddenly raised, "You asked us to dress like this to steal something, and it's just a minor discrepancy?!"

According to Gu Li's previous plan, several people should wear night clothes, uh, black tights, to carry out this plan like the Cat's Eye Sisters. As a result, Gu Li forgot about this and did not have time to tailor the battle clothes according to everyone's size, so he could only hastily prepare four sets of black cotton pajamas.

Except for Tang Wanru who was dressed very neatly, the other three were dressed like fat penguins.

Hearing Nan Xiang's complaints, Gu Li coughed awkwardly and said, "Hey, wouldn't it be better to just come here smoothly?"

After a pause, she continued, "Besides, who knows if Gong Ming is deliberately trying to confuse us!"

"But we're already at the door of his study, what's there to be confused about?" Tang Wanru said alertly.

"..."

Gu Li was silent for two seconds before he said impatiently, "Who cares? Let's go in first. Lin Xiao, give me the door card."

After taking the study room door card from Lin Xiao, Gu Li took a deep breath and swiped the card on the door.

no response!
After a pause, Gu Li frowned and asked, "Why do you need a password?"

Hearing this, the three girlfriends who were helping with the alert turned around and helped to find a solution.

"Lin Xiao, what's the password?"

"How do I know?"

Lin Xiao spread his hands helplessly, and Gu Li shook his head and said, "Try Gong Ming's birthday."

However, this time, after she entered the password, there was still no movement at the door.

"Tsk!"

When Gu Li was frowning and thinking of other passwords, Tang Wanru came over and said, "How about trying my birthday?"

"..."

Although they had only dealt with each other a few times, Tang Wanru always felt that Gong Ming might be interested in her, and she didn't know where her confidence came from.

Gu Li wordlessly slapped her hand away, and then Lin Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Try Zhou Chongguang's birthday."

"it is good."

Zhou Chongguang is Gong Ming's younger brother, and it is very likely that he set this password.

So Gu Li planned to enter the password again, but——

"When is his birthday?"

Gu Li turned to look at Lin Xiao again. She didn't know when Zhou Chongguang's birthday was.

Nan Xiang and Tang Wanru also looked at Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao was stunned and said subconsciously: "I don't know either."

"..."

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and Gu Li even felt her blood pressure rising. She said unhappily, "Then what the hell are you talking about!"

Lin Xiao smiled awkwardly, then said aggrievedly: "I just said this because I suddenly thought of it. When is Zhou Chongguang's birthday? How would I know?"

"Then it's even more impossible for us to know. We are not as familiar with him as you are." Gu Li slapped his forehead helplessly. He didn't expect that he had passed the previous levels smoothly, but got stuck at the last moment.

Nan Xiang thought of something at this time, and said to Lin Xiao: "Lin Xiao, you are not an assistant. Use your mobile phone to check if you can find Zhou Chongguang's birthday."

"Oh, right, right." After Nan Xiang reminded him, Lin Xiao quickly picked up his phone and looked for information. "I remember that ME has a birthday care for employees. There should be a record of Chongguang's birthday next week."

So the four women stood there in front of this last door, waiting in silence for Lin Xiao to check the information.

The tense and silent atmosphere always makes people think too much. Except for Lin Xiao who was anxiously looking up Zhou Chongguang's birthday, the three good girlfriends began to have wild thoughts at this time.

Nan Xiang looked at Gu Li, then at Lin Xiao, thinking that she would have to find time to report the progress of this trip to her boss later. Although she felt a little sorry for Gu Li, she also felt that this was not considered as snitching. Even if Jian Xi knew about it, he would not say anything. After all, what happened here should have nothing to do with him.

At this moment, Gu Li looked at the door lock in front of him with a blank look in his eyes. He was worried that he would not be able to get in and get the documents. At the same time, he was imagining how to negotiate with Gong Ming to get Sheng Gu back after getting the documents.

After waiting for so long, this final step is finally here.

And there is my younger brother Gu Zhun who is keeping watch in the corridor downstairs. If I can successfully complete the task here, I will push my younger brother's identity to the surface later. Although I already know that the 20% hidden inheritance is not worth much, I can still fool people with this gimmick, and it will also be a major bargaining chip in my negotiations with Gong Ming.

Taking back Shenggu and reviving the former glory of the Gu family, now he must consider whether this is the only chance in his life!
On the other side, Tang Wanru was thinking about the secrets that she had accidentally learned, which involved the three good girlfriends in front of her, as well as her two good friends Jian Xi and Gu Yuan in the banquet hall downstairs.

We have known each other since middle school and have been friends for many years, but now I know the secrets that will almost destroy this friendship group in an instant...

Keeping a secret is a very difficult thing. Tang Wanru was almost driven crazy by these secrets in the past few months. She wanted to tell others the source of her pain countless times, but when she thought about the consequences of telling the secrets, she felt even more terrified.

The scene of Gu Li's birthday party last year is still vivid in my mind. I almost broke up everyone just by telling Nan Xiang that Gu Li and Xi Cheng had slept together. I don't want to experience that scene again.

Looking at the faces of the three best friends in front of her and the atmosphere of the four sisters working together, Tang Wanru felt relieved.

It's fine like this, it's fine like this, no matter how painful the secret is, I can just bear it alone...

"How is it going? Have you found out Zhou Chongguang's birthday?" After waiting for a long time and seeing the time passing by, Gu Li couldn't help but urge.

Lin Xiao frowned, feeling anxious and about to cry. She shook her head and continued to search: "No, Zhou Chongguang's birthday doesn't seem to be in the employee information."

"Damn it, what should I do now?!" Gu Li was about to lose his defense. All the things he had thought about just now turned out to be empty thoughts. After all this time, he was still stuck at the last level.

"Gu Li, time is running out. Why don't we go down first?" Nan Xiang said with a worried look on her face.

Gu Li's expression changed. He felt unwilling but helpless. Just as he was about to announce his retreat, Lin Xiao hurriedly said, "But I found out Kitty's birthday. Do you want to give it a try?"

"Kitty?"

Hearing this name, Gu Li's eyes looked a little strange, and the image of the "three-no" girl next to Gong Ming instantly appeared in her mind. Would the boss use his assistant's birthday as a password?
"Forget it, let's give it a try. Let me see her birthday."

With the mentality of making a last attempt, Gu Li swiped the card on the door lock again, and then began to enter Kitty's birthday on the combination lock.

"Click!"

A sound was heard and the expressions of the four people changed.

“Open…open…open!”

……

"Jian Xi, do you... have a grudge against Gong Ming?" In the banquet hall, Gu Yuan walked to Jian Xi, looked at his good brother with a puzzled look and asked.

Although he did not participate in the conversation between his mother, Gong Ming and Jian Xi just now, he was not far away and just happened to hear their conversation when he moved closer.

Especially after his good brother asked Gong Ming that question, it was the first time he saw such a wonderful expression on Gong Ming's face.

He had long been fed up with Gong Ming's arrogant look. He thought he was already very arrogant, but after seeing Gong Ming, he realized that there were people who were even more arrogant than him.

He sits there with a cold face every day, pretending to be cool. Does he really think that others owe him money?

However, although it was cool, he was also worried for his good brother at the time. After all, this was indeed ME's home court, and if a fight broke out, his good brother would not be able to gain the advantage even with his help.

Fortunately, the awkward and heavy atmosphere was finally resolved when Jian Xi smiled and said he was just joking.

So after Gong Ming left with a sullen face, Gu Yuan approached his good brother to ask questions.

Jian Xi smiled and denied it, "How could that be? What grudge could there be between Gong Ming and me? We haven't had much dealings with each other before."

"So you asked him a question like that just now?"

"It's gossip! Aren't you curious?"

"Uh..." Gu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I heard from my mom that Gong Ming seemed to have a girlfriend before, but she went abroad."

"Is that so?" Jian Xi pretended to understand, then smiled and said, "Then the joke I just made was really inappropriate."

"..."

Gu Yuan was somewhat speechless when he heard this: "Isn't it too late for you to say it's inappropriate now?"

"Is it too late?" Jian Xi picked up the glass of wine in front of him and clinked it with Lin Quan and Gu Yuan. "Why do I feel like it's just right?"

After taking a sip of wine, Gu Yuan sighed and said to his good brother: "Jian Xi, why are you so weird tonight?"

"That's right, senior, I also think you are quite weird tonight." The little green tea girl who was holding Jian Xi's hand also said at this time. From what happened with Lin Xiao before to what Jian Xi said now, she has been having this feeling tonight.

"No way, you misunderstood me." Jian Xi pretended to be innocent, "I just said these words casually."

Gu Yuan was full of disbelief, but he was too lazy to ask more about it. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "Where are Gu Li and Lin Xiao?"

"I'm not sure. They were here just now, but Gu Li called them all away. He was very secretive, as if he wanted to plant explosives in the Gong family."

Lin Quan glanced at the bad man and knew that he was talking nonsense again, but he didn't say anything to stop him.

Gu Yuan nodded and his expression relaxed, but looking at his good brother in front of him, he wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his mouth.

Jian Xi smiled and said, "What's wrong? You look like you don't want to say anything, are you holding back something big?"

"I..." Gu Yuan opened his mouth, looked at Lin Quan beside Jian Xi, hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I want to propose to Gu Li."

"Proposal?!"

Jian Xi and Lin Quan raised their voices in unison, scaring Gu Yuan so much that he quickly gestured to keep quiet.

"You're living a good life, why do you suddenly want to propose?"

"..."

As soon as the bastard said this, not only Gu Yuan was silent, but even Lin Quan beside him was speechless. When she heard the word "proposal", the first thing that came to her mind was a romantic scene.

Seeing this, the old scumbag quickly made amends: "Uh, I drank a little too much and said nonsense. Proposing is fine. Proposing is a good thing. I support you!"

After hearing what his good brother said, he suddenly remembered that in the original drama, Gu Yuan was also planning to propose marriage, but due to some strange circumstances, not only did the marriage fail, but he also had a big fight with Gu Li in the end.

So the dog man thought about it and continued: "Are you planning to propose here tonight? Your mother..."

But don’t forget, Ye Chuanping is still here tonight!

This is also what Gu Yuan is struggling with. He said distressedly, "To be honest, when Gu Li and I were together some time ago, my mother said that she would not agree to Gu Li and I getting married unless I agreed to one of her conditions."

"What conditions?"

"Use the remaining Shenggu shares in Gu Li's hands as an exchange."

Tsk! Sure enough, it's not that easy to get Ye Chuanping to agree to the marriage between Haodaer and Gu Li.

It seems that what Ye Chuanping said before, that she hoped Gu Yuan would not let her down this time, was just another deal to use marriage as a bargaining chip with Hao Daer.

only……

"I guess you still can't do it, right?"

"Yeah." Gu Yuan nodded, then looked around and lowered his voice, "So I want to propose to Gu Li first."

"..."

Jian Xi is sometimes speechless about the ideas and actions of the characters in the original drama. He said with a smile: "Why do you want to act first and report later?"

"Yeah." Gu Yuan also expressed his thoughts, "There are so many people here tonight, and my mother is so proud that she would not deny this marriage in public. This way, I can confirm the relationship with Gu Li online in the media."

"So you've got the diamond ring ready?"

"Yes." Gu Yuan touched his pocket and took out a diamond ring box. When he saw the engagement diamond ring he had prepared, his eyes became unusually gentle, as if he had already immersed himself in the beautiful fantasy that was about to come.

So the dog man woke him up and asked, "Besides the diamond ring, do you have anything else prepared?"

"Anything else?" Gu Yuan was stunned, then he thought of something and said, "I also prepared a big bouquet of roses."

"..."

The dog man rolled his eyes at him, looked at the little green tea beside him and said: "Aquan, do you think he is missing anything? Hint, he proposed to me without telling his mother."

"Uh..." Little Green Tea fell into thought. Gu Yuan frowned when he heard his good brother say what he still lacked, but quickly turned his expectant gaze to Lin Quan.

"Lin...sister-in-law, what do you think I am missing?" Gu Yuan asked. At this moment in his heart, compared to Lin Xiao, Lin Quan in front of him is his sister-in-law!
"You still lack... the household registration booklet?" After thinking hard for a while, Little Green Tea looked at Jian Xi hesitantly.

"That's right." Jian Xi smiled and nodded, "You didn't steal the household registration book, so isn't proposing to her just asking for loneliness? Ye Chuanping was caught off guard by you now, and when she reacts, she just needs to keep the household registration book safe."

The nature of a marriage proposal and a love confession is the same. If the latter is the charge horn before establishing a romantic relationship, then the former is the charge horn before a marriage relationship.

The charge is blown when the battle is almost over, and it is meant to be the final blow. It cannot be blown right after the battle begins, nor can it be blown before we are fully prepared.

After hearing what Jian Xi and Lin Quan said, Gu Yuan's face froze. After a long while, he stammered, "Is it too late for me to go home and steal the household registration booklet now?"

At this time, Gu Li, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared at the stairs of the banquet hall.
