The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 368 Flying Light Flying Light
As dusk falls, the waves of the Huangpu River shatter the last ray of setting sun into millions of golden scales. The glass-walled high-rise buildings across the river gradually light up, and the lights climb up until they submerge the entire skyline.

As the Oriental Pearl Tower in the background glowed pink and purple, Jian Xi turned around and looked quietly at the document on the table in front of him.

"Please help me transfer Sheng Gu's hidden shares to Gu Yuan."

Gu Li, who was sitting opposite, said softly. Even though it was the transition between day and night and the sky was gray and blue, she was still wearing sunglasses.

Jian Xi looked at the document, his heart surging with emotions. Many thoughts emerged in his mind, and then disappeared like bubbles.

"why?"

There was a hint of surprise in Jian Xi's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

To be honest, he thought Gu Li wanted to talk to him today about Gu Yuan and the announcement of his illness, but he didn't expect that at the very beginning he would take out the thing that the Gong and Ye families had been searching for.

Tsk, a gold mine!
"Why? Can't we just arrange the funeral?" Gu Li smiled, took off his sunglasses and put them on the table. "If you still need a reason, just consider it as compensation for something that happened in the past."

After Gu Li finished speaking, she turned her head to look out the window. The night view of the Huangpu River was reflected in her eyes. A cruise ship passed by with a long tail of light, stirring the outline of Lujiazui into flowing colorful ink.

The red short-sleeved tweed jacket she wore when she went to the visiting room to see Gu Yuan during the day had been replaced by a black BV long skirt. The sleeveless design made her smooth arms look very slender.

But when she held the spoon in one hand and stirred the coffee cup, the sound of the spoon hitting the wall of the cup was so crisp that it seemed like time itself was shattering.

Jian Xi took a look at the document, then looked her up and down. After taking off her sunglasses, the redness of her eyes, which could not be covered by foundation, was very obvious.

So Jian Xi said thoughtfully: "Have you met Gu Yuan?"

"Ah."

Although Gu Li was a little surprised that the other party had guessed it, he quickly nodded and agreed.

Seeing that he was right, the dog man frowned and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Let me guess, what will you two say when you meet?"

Gu Li glanced at him, not knowing whether he thought this man was extremely boring. He was too lazy to say anything and looked out the window again.

"Well... I guess you must be calling him a mentally ill person, saying that he is too self-righteous to cook the books and take the blame for you." The dog man smiled and said, seeing that although the other party did not turn his eyes, his hand movements stopped subconsciously, he continued to speak with a smile.

"As for Gu Yuan... his brain can only say one thing - do you love me? Or do you still love me now?"

"..."

Gu Li, who had been keeping a straight face for a long time since they met, finally couldn't keep it straight any longer. But the problem was that after hearing what that bastard Jian Xi said, she didn't know whether she should cry or laugh.

And when she saw the other person smiling and drinking the coffee, Gu Li knew what emotion to use.

"Is it funny? Do you think our affairs are a joke?"

You bastard, stop turning suffering into entertainment!
Seeing this, Jian Xi put down the cup, restrained his smile a little and said, "No, this helps to adjust the atmosphere! Since we chose the riverside as the place, we can't drink coffee with a stern face as if we are announcing a death, right?"

"You are in the mood to enjoy the river view while enjoying the breeze. Do you think I am in that mood now?" Gu Li said angrily, "You are Gu Yuan's brother, yet you can still laugh."

"Why can't I laugh?" Jian Xi smiled lightly and said calmly, "I told him many times before to think twice before doing anything. If he just followed his mother's wishes and found a good woman to marry, everything would be fine. But he got crazy and insisted on going to jail for you. I think it's a good idea to go to jail for you. It's better to let him learn a lesson so that his mind is not filled with thoughts about love or not."

After a pause, Jian Xi asked curiously, "Have you told him you love me?"

"..."

Gu Li's face froze. The other party's question was simply rubbing salt into her wounds!

So she looked out the window again, and after two and a half seconds of silence, she said coldly, "Shouldn't you be worried about him going to jail?"

"What a coincidence! I'm not really worried about this." Jian Xi chuckled, "His mother will definitely not sit idly by and do nothing. At most, she can spend money to avoid disaster and plug the hole of Sheng Gu."

Gu Li was speechless. It was not that she had not thought of this outcome, but what did it matter? In the end, the whole mess of Sheng Gu was left to Gu Yuan to clean up.

Let someone who had been hurt by her many times take care of it.

Seeing Gu Li silent, Jian Xi reached out and flipped through the documents on the table, then asked, "Do you really want to leave this to Gu Yuan? These are all that are left of Sheng Gu left by your father."

In fact, Jian Xi had thought of some other ways to take this hidden inheritance from Gu Li before. After all, he knew what the real inheritance was. After he dealt with the Gong family and got the other half of Shenggu, he would naturally have sufficient conditions.

Even if he hadn't finished dealing with the Gong family, he still had other ways. After all, as the saying goes, only he knew what the real hidden legacy was.

It’s just that those methods are somewhat shady and somewhat damage his glorious and majestic image.

But he didn't expect that Gu Li would take it out on his own initiative today, which really saved him a lot of effort.

Gu Li lowered his eyes, took a sip of coffee and said, "What does it mean to me now whether there is more or less? I can't take it into the coffin when I die."

At this point she laughed again, put down her coffee and said sadly, "I don't know how else I can compensate Gu Yuan. After thinking about it, the only thing I can think of is this hidden share that he would rather worry about than ask me for."

"Don't be so pessimistic. It's not the right time yet. Why are you talking about whether you will die or not?" Jian Xi said something human to comfort him. "The sooner you have the surgery, the higher the success rate."

Although the current conditions are not as good as in the future, and the success rate may not be as high as in the future due to the limitation of science and technology, Gu Li is not short of money, and it is still useful to have some connections. Unlike in the future, in the entire operating room, only tumors can be put on the operating table by real skills.

Besides, Zhou Chongguang was fine even though his surgery had such a low success rate...right? What about Gu Li?
The dog man's eyes twitched slightly, and he thought of something else.

Gu Li took a deep breath, looked out the window and said in a deep voice: "We should be prepared for the worst, right? And..."

After a pause, her voice suddenly became erratic: "Even if it is the best outcome, Gu Yuan and I..."

Gu Li touched her belly, tears falling silently. She turned her head and looked at Jian Xi and whispered, "There is no future."

Jian Xi asked curiously, "Didn't Gu Yuan agree to be a DINK before?"

"That's because he knows nothing!" Gu Li raised his voice, a little excited, "And do you think it's possible to pass Ye Chuanping's level?"

"Why not?" Jian Xi laughed, "If you think Gu Yuan's behavior of taking the blame for you is self-righteous, then isn't your current thinking also self-righteous?"

"..."

Gu Li was silent. The other party's words just hit the spot that was most difficult for her to refute.

So she could only cover her face and say, "It's too late to say this now. I'll talk about it after I get off the operating table alive!"

"Relax, you, Gu Li, are the queen and the protagonist. How could you be defeated by a small operation?" Jian Xi blinked, with hints in his words.

“Oh, I’m such a bullshit protagonist now!” Gu Li covered his face and said in a muffled voice, “If Gu Yuan comes out, please help me pass this document to him. I’m afraid to face him again now.”

"Okay." Jian Xi agreed readily, and then asked, "When do you plan to announce your illness? Gu Yuan is not the only one in the world who cares about you!"

"I……"

Gu Li raised her head, her red eyes filled with confusion. Of course she knew that not only Gu Yuan but also her best friend... at least Lin Xiao cared about her.

But what to say?

Jian Xi did not urge him, as it was now his turn to enjoy the river view. He turned his head and saw the second sphere of the Oriental Pearl Tower on the other side of the river suddenly light up with a rose-red light, which was reflected on the surface of the river like a drop of blood that had just landed.

"give me some more time."

After a long while, Gu Li finally spoke: "I haven't finished much yet."

Her brows knitted slightly, and her tone was negotiating: "Soon, in just a few days... okay?"

Jian Xi looked back at her silently for a while, then laughed: "The tumor is in your own body, why are you asking me?"

"..."

Gu Li was stunned for a moment, then his hands under the table became clenched.

You bastard, I need you to remind me! Why am I asking you? Don’t you know?
Even though he cursed the other person over and over again in his heart, Gu Li didn't show it on his face. After regaining his composure, he said, "That's fine. I'll go back and continue to prepare."

Just as she was about to stand up, she heard Jian Xi say, "Wait a minute!"

Gu Li looked up and saw the other party picking up the document on the table and asked with a smile: "Let me confirm one last time, are you really going to give the remaining shares of Shenggu to Gu Yuan?"

"Do you think I'm just taking it out to tease you?" Gu Li said unhappily.

Jian Xi flipped through the documents and suddenly laughed, "Although Sheng Gu is not worth much in my eyes now, your father's hidden inheritance is so mysterious. Are you really going to give it to him like this?"

"What else can I do to compensate him? If he is willing to accept money, I don't want to give him these things in the hidden inheritance that are really worthless." Gu Li looked at Jian Xi and his tone became bad. "Also, what do you mean Sheng Gu is worthless in your eyes? Don't underestimate Sheng Gu, okay!"

"Sorry, I'm just such a straightforward person." Jian Xi spread his hands, "When ME reorganizes its business later, I will gradually cut off the paper distribution part, or let it occupy only a smaller part. Shenggu's role will be minimal."

Whether it is the internet celebrity economy or the star economy, traffic will be paramount in the future, and embracing digitalization is the general trend.

"ME's business adjustment..." Gu Li was slightly stunned. After a few seconds, he asked tentatively, "Did you also..."

Gu Li didn't say anything more, but Jian Xi understood that since things had come to this point, there was no need to hide anything. He nodded and said, "I also had a hand in the matter of ME." After a pause, he added, "Ye Chuanping also knows that she and I have already teamed up."

"..."

Gu Li fell silent again, lowering her eyes, thinking of many things in her mind, but she soon came back to her senses and sighed: "Very good, then congratulations."

"It's too early to congratulate you." Jian Xi shook his head. He didn't want to open champagne at halftime, so he changed the subject to the hidden inheritance. "But I'm still surprised that you would take the initiative to transfer Sheng Gu's shares to Gu Yuan. You're not afraid that you'll regret it if Sheng Gu really becomes a valuable gold mine in the future."

"Ah."

Gu Li smiled faintly, then stood up and said, "That's even better, at least it will allow me to compensate him more. If I really rely on such an obsession and a few broken industries, I will still feel guilty."

Jian Xi smacked his lips slightly when he heard that. His current mentality was pretty good, but he didn't know if he would be able to maintain it this way in the future.

But in the end, the gold mine would only be a disaster if it remained in Gu Li's hands. Moreover, after Gu Yuan took the blame for her, the Ye family would have to spend a lot of money to clean up this mess. As for the extra money...

"Gu Li, this is definitely the best deal you've ever made!"

The dog man smiled and said that he was the most particular about fairness and justice. As for publicity... he was the scale, and what he thought was fair and just was fair and just!

Gu Li, who was about to leave with her bag, just smiled and didn't take it seriously after hearing this. However, looking at the other person's expression, she suddenly remembered something, and then she said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "By the way, you said last time that you would give me a little punishment...what did you mean?"

Well, he had wanted to seduce her before, but she righteously rejected him and... despised him. The scene at that time made Gu Li want to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it whenever he thought about it.

Just mentioning it at this moment, her face was filled with embarrassment.

Jian Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and after seeing Gu Li's nervous expression, he smiled slowly and said, "You will know later. Don't worry, it's not a bad thing."

"So mysterious." Gu Li's face immediately turned cold, and then he turned around and walked away, "I'm dying anyway, why should I be afraid of you messing with me?"

"..."

After Gu Li left, Jian Xi finished his coffee and picked up the document. He rubbed his fingertips for a long time and sighed, "Fei Guang Fei Guang, let me offer you a glass of wine. I don't know how high the sky is or how thick the earth is. I only see the cold moon and the warm sun, which are used to burn people's lives."

This is the case with Gu Li now, and in a sense, it is the same for me.

……

At night, at home in Pudong.

After taking a shower, Jian Xi was drying her hair as she walked towards the bedroom. When she passed by the living room, she saw Lin Quan doing the splits while reading a book. She couldn't help but smile and said, "A Quan, your figure is already good enough. You don't need to torture yourself anymore."

"No! This is not a hassle. I'm just keeping the habit." Little Green Tea continued without looking back, "And there's no such thing as good enough, only better."

Hearing this, Jian Xi shook his head. He couldn't just say that instead of having the energy, he might as well stay in bed and exercise with me for a while, right?
So he changed the subject and asked, "Where's Lin Xiao? Is he asleep already?"

"I don't know." When she said this, Little Green Tea put down her book and looked at the dog man mysteriously, "Just now when we were having dinner, Lin Xiao was waiting for you to tell her about what happened to Gu Li today. Her eyes were almost glued to you, but you didn't say anything. I guess she's angry now."

"Ah?" Jian Xi couldn't help laughing. After meeting Gu Li in the evening, he came back to pick up the two girls to go out for dinner. Seeing Lin Xiao's curious look, he deliberately ignored him and teased him. He was really angry.

Little Green Tea lowered her voice again and said, "Senior, why don't you tell me? I'm also quite curious."

"Hehe!" The dog man laughed twice, then turned and walked towards the bedroom, "What's the hurry?"

"Hate!"

After returning to the bedroom, Jian Xi saw that the quilt on the bed was bulging and Lin Xiao had covered himself with it.

As for whether the other person is asleep or not...

The dog man deliberately blew his hair beside the bed and kicked the floor from time to time. In short, after all the noise was over, the bulge on the bed did not move.

So Jian Xi lifted the quilt and got on the bed, leaning against the headboard and sighing, "Oh! Gu Li is so pitiful!"

Lin Xiao beside him moved slightly, and Jian Xi stopped talking and just sighed.

"Eh? Jian Xi, have you finished your shower?" Lin Xiao turned over as if he had just woken up and said to the man in a daze, "I fell asleep while waiting for you... By the way, who did I just hear you say was really pitiful?"

"No." Jian Xi looked confused and asked curiously, "I didn't say that. Did you hear it wrong?"

"..."

Seeing the man's behavior, Lin Xiao, who wanted to continue fooling him, stopped pretending and turned over to ride on him, pulling his pajamas and said, "You said you would tell me about your meeting with Gu Li today, but you didn't tell me!"

"Well..." Jian Xi held her waist and smiled, "I did say that, but I didn't say I would tell you today."

"you!"

Lin Xiao's face changed and he was about to get off the man, but he was held by the man's waist and couldn't get down.

"Let me go, I want to sleep next door."

"Don't be impatient. Answer me a question first."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao stopped struggling and asked in confusion: "What's the problem?"

The dog man smiled, straightened her up on him again, and asked, "The question is simple, who is more important to you, me or Gu Li?"

"of course……"

"Don't be so quick to answer." Jian Xi raised a hand and placed it on Lin Xiao's heavy conscience through his pajamas. "After playing truth or dare so many times, you know you can't hide it from me."

After feeling the hand on his chest, Lin Xiao pouted and looked at the dog man: "Really, you want to compete with me in this too."

"What's wrong? You're angry with me because of Gu Li, so of course I have to compete with you." Jian Xi said with a smile.

"How can I be angry? It was you who played tricks on me first." Lin Xiao said unhappily, and then he said loudly, "It's you, of course you are the most important, see if my conscience is lying!"

The dog man with his eyes closed felt it carefully, then opened his eyes and smiled: "Tell me the truth, come on, give me a kiss."

"No, you haven't told me what I want to know!" Now it was Lin Xiao's turn to be dissatisfied, and he turned his head away and said stubbornly.

"I can tell you." Jian Xi put away his smile and said seriously, "But this matter about Gu Li cannot be known only to you."

Lin Xiao frowned and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"You have to invite Nan Xiang and Tang Wanru out together, and then I will tell you all at once. After all, you are all the most important people in Gu Li, and you need to know it together."

"Nan Xiang, Wan Ru..." Lin Xiao muttered these two names. The former was fine, as she would have trouble seeing that bitch. As for the latter...

"I don't know if Wanru is still willing to see us." Lin Xiao's mood instantly fell. Although the scar on Wanru's mouth had nothing to do with her, she couldn't face this good friend when she thought about how she had become like this.

Seeing this, Jian Xi hugged Lin Xiao into his arms and comforted him, "We'll meet sooner or later. You can't just keep hiding."

Although his words were meant to comfort him, the man's hands were not idle and he unknowingly pulled open Lin Xiao's pajamas.

"Jian Xi, I..."

"Huh? Whose underwear are you wearing?"

Lin Xiao, who was in an emotional state, realized his current situation as soon as he heard this. He quickly stood up and looked at the pajamas that had fallen off and the dog man with strange eyes, and immediately said angrily:
"You are the one wearing someone else's underwear! This is what Nan Xiang asked me to buy!"

Looking at the black lace in front of her, Jian Xi smiled and thought of what happened at the beginning. She didn't expect that after so long, Lin Xiao took out this set of underwear that she had only worn once.

You know what, even though it doesn’t match Lin Xiao’s style, it’s because she has great hardware, so it’s quite a contrast sometimes.

"What are you looking at!" Lin Xiao wrapped himself in the quilt. "No wonder Nan Xiang recommended it so much back then. She must have tried it on you back then! What a joke!"

"Slander! That wasn't the case at that time!" the dog man argued. At that time...it seemed to be the first time Nan Xiang performed a strip show in his office?

"Come, let me see if it still suits you after all this time."

……

Monday, April 11th.

A new week, a new beginning, and for the people of ME, today is also a new beginning.

Because from today on, "ME" has entered the era of the Mugong family.

At the shareholders' meeting, Ye Chuanping sat in the main seat and called Gong Xun with a smile:

"Mr. Gong, are you sure you don't want to commute your son's sentence?"
