At night, the soft and obedient girl was kissed by the big boss in the Beijing circle and cried

Chapter 374: Betrayal and separation
"He's probably always been single," Liang Teng replied. "I've never heard of him having a girlfriend as far back as I can remember."

Liang Hanyue gave a meaningful "Oh," and then added, "Mother single, could it be..."

The two exchanged a glance, and then smiled knowingly, realizing they were thinking the same thing.

Liang Jingfeng, far away in the southern city, couldn't help but sneeze, unaware of how his two younger siblings were gossiping about him.

After Lu Wenzhou and Jin Tian left Beijing, Liang Hanyue kept trying to contact Lu Wenzhou to find out what was happening there.

But he also knew that he couldn't rush things. If Yunheng's people found out, it wouldn't be a good thing for either Jin Yanchen or Lu Wenzhou.

She could only suppress her anxiety and wait for news in the capital.

Business meeting.

Liang Hanyue represented her company at the event, and naturally encountered several well-known figures in the industry.

Qin Yishen and Gu Jingchen were also present.

Gu Jingchen and Gu Ronghui were standing together, and Qin Yishen didn't exchange pleasantries with them. When he saw Liang Hanyue coming over, he took the initiative to walk over and greet her, "You're here."

Liang Hanyue nodded. "Why are you here too?"

"I'm attending on behalf of my dad," Qin Yishen explained. "He hasn't been feeling well these past few days."

"Is Uncle Qin alright?" Liang Hanyue asked with concern.

"Just a minor cold, plus a little argument with my mom," Qin Yishen said with a smile. "You should visit them when you have time. They're so old and still causing trouble; they really don't know what's good for them."

"The uncle and aunt have a good relationship, and their bickering is proof of their deep affection." Liang Hanyue actually envies their relationship. They have been together for so many years, and their children are all grown up, yet they are still as loving as ever.

Qin Yishen didn't have a chance to talk to her much before the meeting started. The two of them were not seated together, so they went back to their seats.

Meetings are usually tedious and lengthy, and many people are inattentive, only becoming focused when it's time to speak.

Liang Hanyue hadn't attended many meetings like this before, so she listened very attentively and even took some notes, wanting to learn more and accumulate experience.

As the meeting ended, Liang Hanyue slowly packed her things. Qin Yishen walked over and asked, "Want to have dinner together?"

"Okay," Liang Hanyue readily agreed.

As the two walked towards the door, they bumped into Gu Jingchen, who was standing there. They tacitly shifted their gaze away from his face, as if they hadn't seen him.

Gu Jingchen watched their departing figures, his eyes filled with shadows.

When Gu Rong came out of the restroom and saw his distraught appearance, she said coolly, "Still can't let go?"

Gu Jingchen snapped out of his reverie and whispered, "If Dad had known from the beginning that she was Liang Zhoushan's granddaughter, would he not have forced You Shiyu on me? Would Liang Hanyue and I have been married and had children long ago...?"

They are now living a happy and fulfilling life.

"You two are not the same kind of people, and marriage is not the end of life. If you are destined to be apart, no one can force it," Gu Ronghui said calmly.

"Like you and Sister Jiang Si?" Gu Jingchen asked.

Gu Rong remained silent.

Gu Jingchen added, "Actually, Lu Shengsheng is quite good. Since you're married, you should stay together. That's more important than anything else."

Gu Rong recalled that mercenary face and scoffed, "How can she compare to Sisi?"

Gu Jingchen didn't speak, or rather, he was a loser himself and had no right to say anything to him.

Qin Yishen had booked the restaurant, and the two of them ran into Liang Teng as soon as they entered.

"What are you doing here?" Liang Hanyue began to suspect that he was following her.

"Let's eat." Liang Teng waved his phone. "I found this restaurant online; the reviews are pretty good."

"Let's go together," Qin Yishen invited him. "I've booked a private room."

"Then I can't refuse your kind offer." Liang Teng agreed without a second's hesitation, as if he had been waiting for this very sentence.

Qin Yishen asked Liang Teng to order the food, but Liang Teng, being somewhat self-aware, said that he was not familiar with the capital and asked Qin Yishen to order instead.

Qin Yishen ordered several signature dishes, as well as a few of Liang Hanyue's favorites. The three of them ate and chatted, with Qin Yishen and Liang Teng doing most of the talking, while Liang Hanyue listened casually.

After finishing their meal, the three of them walked out of the restaurant together, only to unexpectedly run into Gu Jingchen and Gu Ronghui again.

Liang Teng couldn't help but mutter, "It's like a persistent ghost."

Qin Yishen explained, "We had a meeting together nearby this morning."

It's normal for them to come here to eat.

Liang Teng didn't even bother to glance at Gu Jingchen, and looked at Liang Hanyue, "Back to the company or home?"

“There’s still some work to do at the company,” Liang Hanyue replied.

Liang Teng nodded, "I'll go with you."

Liang Hanyue was already used to him following her like a shadow, so she didn't object. After saying goodbye to Qin Yishen, they got into the car and went back to the company together.

Qin Yishen watched the car leave, and as he was about to leave, Gu Jingchen walked over.

“With depth…”

His low, husky voice had barely rang out when Qin Yishen coldly asked, "Do I know you?"

Gu Jingchen choked on the words he was about to say.

Qin Yishen said coldly, "I, Qin Yishen, don't have a brother like you!"

After saying that, he bent down to get into the car, his eyes filled with disgust as he glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.

Gu Jingchen stood there blankly, experiencing for the first time what true—

Deserted by everyone.

Upon arriving in New York, Lu Wenzhou called Liang Hanyue to tell her that he had met up with Jin Tian and would soon go to identify the body, and that he would contact her as soon as he had any news.

Liang Hanyue did not urge him, but instead told them to be careful.

After hanging up, Liang Teng also finished his call, looking very sad.

"What's wrong?" Liang Hanyue asked.

"My uncle is coming to the capital," Liang Tengsheng said listlessly.

"so?"

Liang Teng looked up at the sky and sighed, "He said he would hand over the management of this branch office to me."

God knows that every time he looks at those numerical reports and such, he gets dizzy, short of breath, and can't catch his breath.

Liang Hanyue asked, puzzled, "Isn't this good? Do you want to be a lazy, good-for-nothing playboy for the rest of your life?"

“Yes.” He nodded repeatedly. “My dream is to never work and have endless money just by lying down.”

Liang Hanyue: “…”

What a rich kid with absolutely no ambition!

"Why don't you talk to my uncle for me?" Liang Teng leaned closer to her and said ingratiatingly, "Just say that someone like me is not suitable to manage the company, and that I will squander the family fortune."

Liang Hanyue glanced at him. "Why should I help you?"

"I'm your second brother, are you just going to stand by and watch me die?"

Liang Hanyue: "They're not even blood relatives."

Liang Teng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, how can you help your second brother get through this difficult time?"

Liang Hanyue pondered for a moment, "From now on, whatever I say goes, you must listen to me 100%, and you must do whatever I tell you to do."

"Impossible!" Liang Teng refused without even thinking. "How could I, a grown man, be so subservient to a woman? Where would I put my face if word got out?"
