Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 242 Gu Jia's Touching, Ambiguity
on Monday.

Xu Huanshan was dissatisfied with the character of his partner Mr. Wan, and with Li Ke's instigation, he got so angry that he threw the information at Mr. Wan and angrily decided not to cooperate with him again.

When Gu Jia heard the news, she hurried to the company and comforted Xu Huanshan with gentle words.

However, no matter how she tried to persuade him, Xu Huanshan remained stubborn and his anger remained.

Gu Jia chuckled and suggested, "I know you don't like to talk about these things. How about this? I'll go talk to Lao Wan."

"You are not allowed to go!" Xu Huanshan stared at her fiercely, his eyes full of anger, "Gu Jia, I will never compromise this time! Let me ask you, am I still the one who makes the final decision in this company?"

"Yeah." Gu Jia felt a little uncomfortable when being scolded by Xu Huanshan in front of all the employees in the company, but she still maintained a decent smile.

"So I give up this time, okay?"

Xu Huanshan snorted coldly and strode towards the office.

"Calm down." Gu Jia hurried after him, her voice still gentle, and she advised calmly: "If we don't cooperate with him, the company's capital chain will be broken next month. Can we..."

"Apart from the money, have you ever felt that my work was not worth it?"

Xu Huanshan interrupted her impatiently, sat down in the boss chair in the office, turned his back to Gu Jia and stopped talking.

Xu Huanshan was originally just a fireworks designer. It was Gu Jia who pushed him forward over the years, and he transformed from a small designer into the president of a company.

Although my income has increased, I have to endure more anger.

In the past, he only had to think about how to design the most beautiful and gorgeous fireworks, but now he racks his brains over costs and profits every day.

For Xu Huanshan, who has artistic pursuits, all this is too boring.

But Gu Jia knew clearly that President Wan could not be offended, so she decided to go and talk to him in person.

After all, Mr. Wan’s orders account for 50% of Jiamei Fireworks Company’s annual profits.

Now that their family has just moved into Grand Hyatt Residence, they have no extra funds on hand and cannot afford to let Xu Huanshan act as he pleases.

If the cooperation with Mr. Wan fails, resulting in a break in the capital chain, the inability to repay the mortgage, the inability to pay the employees' salaries, the morale of the company will be unsettled, and the company may be close to bankruptcy.

All the hard work and struggles of these years were wasted because of a momentary impulse, and this was something Gu Jia would never allow to see.

Gu Jia sat in the car driven by Chen Xu and headed to the hotel where she had agreed to meet Mr. Wan.

She was dressed brightly, with carefully painted red lips and nail polish on her fingertips, but her anxious look could not be concealed under her exquisite makeup.

She learned from Chen Xu that Xu Huanshan was able to control his emotions and completely break up with General Wan because of the instigation of female employee Li Ke.

Since having a child, Gu Jia has focused on her family and has paid less attention to the company's affairs. Therefore, there are always some female employees who try to get promoted through some crooked means.

On the way, Lin Yuan called.

As soon as Gu Jia answered the phone, Lin Yuan's urgent voice came from the receiver: "Jia Jie, where are you now?"

"I'm outside."

Lin Yuan asked again: "Is Zi Yan with you?"

"I'm not here, what's wrong?"

Lin Yuan's tone became serious: "Didn't I tell you that Zi Yan can't leave your adults' sight?"

Gu Jia quickly explained: "I have something to do today, so I asked Sister Chen to pick up Zi Yan from school. Zi Yan should be home by now."

"I just went to your house, and Ziyan wasn't at home." Lin Yuan's voice was filled with worry. "Sister Chen said he went to Muzi's house for a birthday party. I think you'd better go over there. I'm a little worried about Ziyan being alone in someone else's house."

"But now I..." Gu Jia looked embarrassed and frowned.

After all, I had an agreement with Mr. Wan first. If I break it now, I would probably completely offend the other party.

Lin Yuan interrupted her before she finished speaking: "Jia Jie, have you forgotten what you told me? You said Zi Yan will always be the first in your heart. You should go to Mu Zi's house. Her house is at 16, Building 1802, Shimao Community."

Hearing the unquestionable determination in Lin Yuan's tone, Gu Jia gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll go there now. Chen Xu, turn around and go to Shimao Community."

"Okay." Chen Xu responded and turned the steering wheel.

Gu Jia then sent another message to Mr. Wan, saying that she had something urgent to do and asked him to wait for a while, as she would meet him later.

……

"Chen Xu, you go back first."

After arriving at the Shimao community where Muzi's family lived, Gu Jia whispered to Chen Xu.

After all, this is a birthday party and it will definitely not end so soon. I have to stay for a while.

Chen Xu responded: "Okay."

Gu Jia got out of the car gracefully, and at this moment, Lin Yuan also arrived by car "coincidentally".

Gu Jia wore a light beige satin dress with long sleeves and side slits, which made her look dignified and elegant, yet agile.

The fiery red lips and the diamond necklace hanging on her chest complement each other. As she walks, a section of her fair calves is revealed under her skirt, which is very eye-catching.

The silver high heels on her feet are shiny and bright, and the pointed stilettos are exquisite and fashionable. They not only make her figure look taller, but also highlight her elegance and refinement, perfectly interpreting the elegant and intellectual charm.

Lin Yuan walked forward quickly, eagerly took Gu Jia's hand, and ran with her to the elevator of the apartment building, urging her, "It's already late, hurry up."

Gu Jia was led by him to run, and seeing Lin Yuan's anxious look, she had to quicken her pace and follow him.

The high heels stepped on the ground, making a messy and crisp sound.

It was not until they ran to the elevator and Lin Yuan pressed the button that Gu Jia gently withdrew her hand, and her fingertips slowly slid out of Lin Yuan's palm.

Gu Jia couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Zi Yan should be okay, right?"

She had some frictions with Muzi's mother before, but no matter what, she would not deliberately embarrass her son in front of so many children and parents at a birthday party.

The two walked into the elevator. As the car slowly rose, Lin Yuan frowned and shook his head, saying softly, "I hope everything will be fine."

These words made Gu Jia's heart suddenly rise.

The elevator reached the 18th floor and the door slowly opened. Lin Yuan placed his big hand on Gu Jia's lower back, and the texture of her dress felt silky smooth. He gently pushed her to quicken her pace, and soon they arrived at Muzi's door.

Gu Jia raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

With a slight click, the door opened and Muzi's mother appeared behind the crack of the door.

Gu Jia spoke softly with a gentle smile on her face, "Muzi's mother, it's me, Ziyan's mother."

"Come in." Muzi's mother glanced at Lin Yuan and said in a bad tone, "He can't. We don't welcome rude people in our house."

Lin Yuan sneered: "If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. Why are you so guilty? I came here to pick up the child. You brought our child here without our parents' permission. I haven't settled the score with you yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan ignored Muzi's mother, pulled open the half-open door, and walked into the house with Gu Jia.

In the living room, streamers were flying, parents were sitting around chatting, and children were laughing and chasing each other while holding cream cakes.

But Xu Ziyan was the only person she didn't see. Gu Jia's heart started to lift again, and she raised her voice unconsciously: "Where's Xu Ziyan?"

A parent in green said nonchalantly, "He was here just now, playing with everyone."

The other mothers looked at each other, their eyes evasive, then they all lowered their heads and kept silent.

At this moment, Xu Ziyan's suppressed crying voice came from the north bedroom: "Let me out! Let me out! I want my mother!"

Gu Jia's face changed and she rushed to the closed door, pressed the door handle and pushed it, only to find that the door was locked.

Gu Jia knew that her son was locked in the room. She turned around and glared at Mu Zi's mother, saying hatefully, "Open the door!"

Muzi's mother stood there, unmoved.

Gu Jia was so anxious that she almost jumped up and down, her eyes were red, and she looked at Lin Yuan beside her for help.

Lin Yuan's face was terribly gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Didn't you hear what she said?"

The woman in green said in dissatisfaction: "Why are you so fierce? Do you still want to hit someone? Try hitting someone first."

Muzi's mother stiffened her neck. Seeing someone backing her up, the timidity in her eyes disappeared, and she said in a sarcastic tone, "The key is lost."

"That's what you said." Lin Yuan sneered, turned around and strode towards her kitchen. After a moment, he pulled out a kitchen knife with a cold glow and walked out.

This scene frightened all the women and children present, and the living room became quiet in an instant.

Even Gu Jia was frightened by this sudden action. She didn't expect Lin Yuan to do this.

Muzi's mother was so scared that her whole body was shaking and her lips began to tremble. The other woman in green turned pale and took two steps back.

It's not a big deal to get stabbed for such a small thing.

The woman in green said to Muzi's mother in a trembling voice, "Take out the key quickly."

"Lin Yuan, calm down." Gu Jia reacted and quickly grabbed Lin Yuan's arm, saying anxiously.

Lin Yuan patted her little hands and said gently, "Don't worry, I'm calm." Then, he shouted into the house, "Zi Yan, listen to your uncle and stand back."

"Wow, okay." Xu Ziyan's crying voice came from behind the door, accompanied by the sound of moving footsteps.

Lin Yuan raised the kitchen knife and chopped hard at the door lock.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

It only took three strikes for Lin Yuan to chip the door lock into pieces.

This is enough to show Lin Yuan’s amazing power.

Then, with a "clang" sound, Lin Yuan threw the kitchen knife to the ground, kicked it hard, and the door opened with a "bang".

Muzi's mother looked at the damaged door with a look of heartache and screamed, "You broke our door."

Lin Yuan looked at her coldly, his tone was icy: "You don't have the key, what can you do?"

"Just wait for your compensation!"

Gu Jia didn't bother to pay attention to her and rushed into the room. Looking at Xu Ziyan with tears on his face, she squatted down, hugged Xu Ziyan tightly, and patted his back gently.

"Baby, it's okay, mommy is here."

Xu Ziyan burst into tears, hugged Gu Jia's neck tightly, and cried, "Mom, I kept knocking on the door, and I couldn't get out."

Muzi's mother naturally wanted to shirk responsibility, so she raised her voice and said, "You kid, you ran around as soon as you entered my house, and you even locked the door."

Another woman in green also echoed, "That's right, this kid doesn't play with other kids. It's like he has autism."

Gu Jia ignored them, but gently wiped Xu Ziyan's tears and kissed him on the forehead.

Xu Ziyan was still frightened and sobbed, "Mom, I won't play with them anymore. I don't want to go to kindergarten."

"Then mom will take you home, okay?" Gu Jia said gently, her voice full of heartache.

"it is good."

Gu Jia hugged Xu Ziyan, who was still sobbing, and walked out of the room with heavy steps.

Lin Yuan stood at the door, stretched out his hand to take Xu Ziyan from her arms, glanced at the two women out of the corner of his eye, and whispered: "Ziyan, let me hold you, do what you want, I'm here."

Gu Jia looked up at Lin Yuan, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. At this moment, she felt that Lin Yuan understood her so well.

She didn't mind being despised, ridiculed, and servile by Mrs. Wang just to get Xu Ziyan into Depu Kindergarten, but she could never tolerate her son being isolated, bullied, and locked up in a small dark room.

Gu Jia put down the Hermès bag hanging on her shoulder, took off the Patek Philippe watch on her left hand, put aside the silver high heels on her feet, walked forward barefoot, grabbed the hair of Muzi's mother and the woman in green, dragged them into the room, and slammed the door.

"Hey, what are you going to do?"

"What do you want to do?"

"How do you hit someone?"

"Let go, let me go!"

The room was filled with the screams of two women.

Lin Yuan took out a lollipop from his pocket, and the candy quickly attracted Xu Ziyan's attention.

Lin Yuan unwrapped the candy wrapper and passed it into Xu Ziyan's mouth: "Ziyan is the bravest child, let's not make mom worry, okay?"

Xu Ziyan held the candy in his mouth and nodded with tears in his eyes: "Yeah."

After a while, Gu Jia pushed the door open with messy hair, walked straight to the cabinet, and put on her watch neatly.

In contrast, Muzi's mother had disheveled hair and five clear finger marks on her cheeks; the woman in green had her skirt torn and she was sitting on the ground gasping for breath.

Muzi's mother screamed, "I want my injuries checked! I want to call the police! I want you to get out of the kindergarten! You and your whole family are unreasonable! You smashed the door and beat people up. I want you all to be taken to the police station!"

Lin Yuan carried Xu Ziyan to Gu Jia and held her arms firmly to help her put on her high heels.

Gu Jia stood up straight on her stilettos and said in a cold voice, "I should be the one to call the police! You brought my son here without my consent, that's called kidnapping. You should be kicked out of the kindergarten. Do you think no one knows about your taking kickbacks and abusing your power for personal gain?"

After putting on her shoes, Gu Jia took her bag from Lin Yuan and prepared to leave with Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan suddenly put Xu Ziyan down and said to Gu Jia, "Wait for me."

Then he strode towards the parents who were silent in the living room:
"Just because she's the chairperson of the PTA? So you all dare to curry favor with her and sit back and watch our child being bullied? You're all mothers, don't you have the most basic empathy? And you, you're Nan Nan's mother, right? Last time in the group, Mu Zi's mother took the lead in forcing the school to dismiss your child, and it was Zi Yan's mother who first stood up to support you staying. Don't you feel the slightest bit of shame?"

Lin Yuan's questioning made the faces of the parents present suddenly change, and everyone turned their heads away and dared not look at him.

"Forget it, let's go."

Gu Jia came over and pulled the corner of Lin Yuan's clothes. Lin Yuan glanced at those people deeply, then turned around and left reluctantly.

Under the warm yellow light in the corridor, Gu Jia's voice suddenly trembled: "Xiao Yuan, thank you."

After leaving Muzi's house, Gu Jia suddenly felt like crying. If she accompanied Mr. Wan to have dinner tonight and then came back, Zi Yan would have to be locked in the room for several hours.

What a great psychological harm this will cause to the child!
Fortunately, Lin Yuan was there, and fortunately she listened to Lin Yuan, otherwise she wouldn’t know how to forgive herself.

Lin Yuan patted her shoulder gently: "Why are you being so polite to me?"

"It's all my fault..." Gu Jia bit her lip, full of self-blame, "If only I had always listened to you."

Lin Yuan had repeatedly emphasized to her that she should not let her children out of the sight of her parents, but she didn't expect that she still neglected it.

"It's not your fault." Lin Yuan softened his voice. "Who would have thought that Muzi's mother would be so vicious, and those parents would be so cold-blooded?"

Gu Jia said in a low voice: "I still have to thank you. Seeing those parents standing by and watching, I actually wanted to get angry with them, but I held back because I was afraid they would isolate Zi Yan in school."

Lin Yuan looked at her with bright eyes: "I understand, you have your concerns, I am willing to be the bad guy for you."

Gu Jia's heart trembled. She didn't know if she had thought too much about it, but she felt that a soft spot was hit.

In the car, the frightened Xu Ziyan curled up in Gu Jia's arms and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Shimao Community is only a few blocks away from Grand Hyatt Residences. The car drove steadily in the night and arrived in a short while.

Lin Yuan took out a document bag from the car and returned home with her.

Gu Jia gently placed the sleeping Xu Ziyan on the bed and covered him with the quilt.

Lin Yuan quietly watched this heartwarming scene from the door. After Gu Jia walked out of the room and closed the door, he handed her a document. Gu Jia was a little surprised, "What is this?"

"I have evidence that Muzi's mother took bribes. I feel like she is hostile to you, so I have been looking for her intelligence these past few days. It's up to you whether you want to report it or not."

When Gu Jia heard this, she was deeply moved. No wonder Lin Yuan didn't pick up Zi Yan again after that day. It turned out that this was the reason for his absence.

"I really don't know what to say." Gu Jia's throat tightened and she looked at Lin Yuan with emotion.

Lin Yuan showed a warm smile: "Then don't say it."

At this moment, Gu Jia suddenly remembered that President Wan was still waiting for her. She grabbed her bag and was about to go out, her high heels making rapid clicking sounds at the entrance.

"Xiao Yuan, I have something urgent to do and I need to go out right away."

"I send you."

The ceiling light in the car glowed with a warm yellow light, and Lin Yuan's fingertips suddenly clasped her wrist.

Only then did Gu Jia notice that there was a bleeding abrasion on the base of her right hand, which must have been caused when she beat Mu Zi's mother.

Lin Yuan found a Band-Aid in the car, put on the tape on one side, and his fingertips accidentally brushed across the palm of her hand.

Gu Jia realized belatedly that as a married young woman, such contact was a bit ambiguous for her, but the way Lin Yuan lowered his eyes and focused on bandaging made her unwilling to think too much.

Gu Jia suddenly laughed at herself and said, "Do you think I look like a shrew today?"

"Women are weak, but they become strong as mothers. In fact, it's not just you. I want to hit someone too." Lin Yuan suddenly chuckled, his fingertips still pinching her hand, "But you are Zi Yan's mother, so it's only right that you should vent this anger."

After the two sides of the Band-Aid were taped to the skin, his palms suddenly tightened, and his voice was a little nervous: "Do you have to go tonight?"

Gu Jia was stunned by his sudden force and said in confusion: "Xiao Yuan, did you misunderstand? I was going to meet a client."

She tried to pull her hand back, but he held it tighter.

Lin Yuan asked back, "What kind of client would you want to meet dressed like this?"

Gu Jia's heart trembled. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she actually heard a hint of jealousy in Lin Yuan's tone.

But she still suppressed the strangeness in her heart and explained softly: "He is a big client of our company. He wants to cancel the cooperation this time, so I have to go talk to him."

"If I tell you that it's useless for you to go tonight, will you still go?"

Gu Jia had long been convinced by Lin Yuan's words, especially after what happened today.

But now that things have come to this, since President Wan is willing to wait for me, he must still have the idea of ​​cooperation. Why did Lin Yuan say that?
