The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 286 No Regrets After a Move (4k)

The door to the private room opened, and Luo Xiwen walked in from outside.

Sun Xian, who had just been told by her mother that she wasn't pretty enough, immediately cast a slightly resentful glance at Luo Xiwen when she heard that the person who came was Gu Heng's girlfriend.

Just one glance was enough to silence Sun Xian.

Luo Xiwen, who had just drunk some red wine with her parents and others in the private room of Xige, now had a beautiful oval face that glowed with a warm light, like solidified cream, with her cheeks naturally flushed with a light pink, just like a peach blossom in early spring.

Her eyebrows were long and soft, resembling a crescent moon rather than distant mountains, with slightly drooping ends, always carrying a hint of unspoken gentleness.

Her almond-shaped eyes were round and soft, yet seemed so clear they could reflect the morning dew. The natural curve at the corners of her eyes made her smile with gentle ripples in her eyes.

The lip color is a natural coral red, and the lip shape is full and delicate like flower petals.

In addition, Luo Xiwen's full and voluptuous figure made Sun Xian even more speechless.

Is there any justice?

She has a gentle and captivating appearance, and a dignified and elegant demeanor!

She even has such a great figure!

Every inch of flesh has grown in the right places!
Sun Xian looked down at her pitiful little steamed bun and felt inexplicably depressed.

Jiang Man took in her daughter's expression and actions, and couldn't help but curl up her lips slightly: "Are you convinced now?"

"I……"

"We're not the same type of people!"

"There's no comparison!"

Sun Xian lacked confidence, yet she stubbornly persisted in her refusing to admit it.

"It doesn't matter what type you are. The girl in front of you is so incredibly beautiful. From what I've seen with my own eyes, there are two other people with Chairman Gu. Compared to this one, one is cute and the other is aloof. Their looks and figures are no less than this one's."

Jiang Man first greeted Luo Xiwen with a friendly smile, then whispered to Sun Xian again, "You have no breasts, no butt, and your only good looks are your face. What do you have to compete with her?"

"mom……"

"I see!"

"Life is tough, don't expose me, okay!"

"That's enough, I don't care about saving face!"

Sun Xian's face darkened a bit. Her mother's series of punches almost made her take out her phone and log into Xiaohongshu on the spot.

Who knows?
My family of origin...

It hurts so much!

"Don't you young people always like to say that these days?"

Jiang Man said with a smile, "Lies don't hurt people, but the truth is the sharpest knife."

"You already know the truth is that Kuai Dao is right, and you still say this..."

Sun Xian said weakly.

"What do you say?"

"I'm a mother, how could I lie to my daughter?"

Jiang Man asked in a matter-of-fact tone.

Sun Xian: "..."

At this moment, Sun Xian realized that her mother was no longer the same as before. As the president of a provincial-level top-tier hospital, if she couldn't even handle a nobody like herself, how could she possibly fight against those old foxes?

"Eh?"

"Mom, did you just say that Chairman Gu has two girlfriends?"

Sun Xian suddenly perked up, a hint of gossip on her face: "Really?"

"Is it strange?"

Jiang Man raised an eyebrow and retorted, her seemingly calm tone concealing a surge of intense hatred: "If someone like your father can have affairs outside, do you really think a young and promising CEO like Chairman Gu would only have one woman by his side?"

"Forehead……"

"It seems so."

Sun Xian noticed that her mother's tone was a bit off, so she decided to shut up.

Just as the mother and daughter were talking, Luo Xiwen, at Gu Heng's invitation, sat down in the empty seat next to Gu Heng.

"You've already sent them off to Mom and Dad?"

Gu Heng seemed unaware of what had just happened in the private room, and asked Luo Xiwen with a gentle smile.

"Uh-huh."

Luo Xiwen nodded: "I called a designated driver for them and sent them all away."

"Drinking?"

Gu Heng asked softly again.

"I had a drink with them."

Loshvin responded.

"Would you like some more?"

Gu Heng asked, "Should I ask the waiter to make you a pot of tea?"

"Have some more!"

Luo Xiwen always felt particularly safe when Gu Heng was around.

For a beautiful woman, especially a top-tier beauty like Luo Xiwen with both stunning looks and a perfect figure, getting drunk is actually a particularly terrifying thing.

Even in relatively safe settings, even in a gathering of close female friends, there is still a considerable risk, because human nature is the most vulnerable to temptation.

Before she met Gu Heng, when she encountered troubles or felt a lot of work pressure, she would lock herself in the house and get drunk.

Until she became Gu Heng's woman, as long as Gu Heng was by her side, she could drink freely anywhere without fear of getting drunk, because she knew she had someone to rely on.

"Then you can drink red wine with Dean Jiang and the others."

Gu Heng raised his hand and called over a waiter, asking him to bring Luo Xiwen a wine glass.

"Mr. Wang, come on over."

"You've already toasted me four times, now it's my turn to return the favor."

After Luo Xiwen poured the wine, Gu Heng picked up his glass of baijiu again and said, "Qian Xing, let's drink together."

"Chairman Gu, please wait a moment."

"I'd like to take this opportunity to share some good news with you all tonight."

Qian Zhengxing picked up his wine glass and interjected a couple of words at the opportune moment.

"Oh?"

"good news?"

"What good news?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately perked up.

"According to the news I received from head office today, my position may be changing this year."

Facing the expectant gazes of the crowd, Qian Zhengxing smiled and said, "It's highly likely to be those provinces along the southeast coast, but there's also a chance it might be one of the four super-first-tier cities."

"good news!"

"This is absolutely great news!"

Wang Baoshan's eyes lit up, and he shouted repeatedly.

"Congratulations in advance, Qian Xing."

Jiang Man also offered her blessings: "You've taken advantage of my generosity tonight, but you'll have to treat us to a meal once the news is confirmed."

"Qian Xing, if that's what you're saying..."

"Then we can't drink this glass of wine like that."

Gu Heng reached out and picked up the 13 brown-bottled Guomao liquor on the table. He first filled his own decanter, and then filled the decanters of Wang Baoshan and Qian Zhengxing in turn.

"all?"

Gu Heng picked up the wine dispenser and raised an eyebrow at the two of them.

"all!"

"Dry!"

Upon seeing this, the two of them immediately stood up as well.

Filling the wine glass to the brim is probably the highest etiquette at a drinking table in Northeast China.

Both Qian Zhengxing and Wang Baoshan were already very generous, and they both had good news to share, so when they saw Gu Heng's actions, they were filled with pride.

"Have one!"

Seeing this, Jiang Man also stood up.

Although Jiang Man was drinking red wine, and her alcohol tolerance was limited, she still filled her glass to the brim.

Inside the private room, Gu Heng and the others stood up, so Luo Xiwen and Sun Xian naturally had no reason to stay seated and joined in the commotion.

As the clinking of glasses rang out, everyone enthusiastically finished their drinks, and the atmosphere in the private room reached its peak after that.

……

After the meal, everyone left Zhenhai Banquet in their respective cars, but instead of going home, they followed Gu Heng's car heading north.

"Aren't we going home?"

Looking at the car following behind, Luo Xiwen asked with some confusion.

"how?"

"Are you anxious?"

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow slightly, his eyes filled with a smile as he asked softly.

"I'm in a hurry..."

"What's the rush?"

Luo Xiwen understood what he meant, but was too embarrassed to admit it.

"Oh……"

"I don't know?"

"If you don't know, then forget it."

Gu Heng pretended to think and said, "If it doesn't work out later, we'll find another place to have a drink with Qian Xing and Boss Wang. Tonight, we'll drink until dawn and not go home until we're drunk."

"No~"

"It can't be that late~"

Luo Xiwen blushed slightly and whispered, "I'm in a hurry, okay?"

"No hurries?"

Gu Heng continued to tease her.

Luo Xiwen's face grew even redder, making it impossible for him to speak.

Seeing Luo Xiwen's expression, Gu Heng couldn't help but smile slightly, but he didn't continue to tease or flirt with him.

As they were talking, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan quickly drove up to the main entrance of the Beichun International Financial Center and stopped. The cars of Qian Zhengxing and others following behind also stopped at the entrance one after another.

"Chairman Gu!"

"Miss Luo!"

Qi Min, president of Zhencui Group, personally opened the back door for Gu Heng and politely greeted Gu Heng and Luo Xiwen.

At this moment, in front of the main entrance of Beichun International Financial Center, in addition to Qi Min, president of Zhencui Group, there were also many senior executives of Zhencui Group and their families.

Looking further to both sides, you can still vaguely see many ordinary employees of Zhencui Group. Some are with their families, some are in pairs, and they all look very interested.

"Are you all ready?"

Gu Heng glanced around and asked Qi Min.

"Everything is ready."

Qi Min nodded in response, "We've already informed the district fire department in advance."

"Then let's get ready to begin."

Gu Heng nodded slightly and gave instructions to Qi Min.

"Ok."

Qi Min responded and left, while Gu Heng chatted for a few words with the group executives who came to greet him, and then exchanged pleasantries with the executives' wives and children.

There were many people at the scene, but the atmosphere was very relaxed.

"Have you forgotten what day it is today?"

Gu Heng squatted down and played with the two little children for a while. He turned to look at Luo Xiwen, who looked a little confused, and said with a smile, "Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, a day to welcome the God of Wealth. Even small shops on the street set off firecrackers to attract wealth, let alone a large catering company like our Zhencui Group."

Just as Luo Xiwen showed a hint of realization, he heard Qi Min, holding a handheld walkie-talkie, loudly issuing an order from not far away.

"Zhang Peisi, light the fire!"

As Qi Min finished speaking, countless flames exploded in front of the Beichun International Financial Center, accompanied by a continuous crackling sound.

At this moment, Luo Xiwen noticed that the open space in front of the Beichun International Financial Center had been covered with firecrackers long before they arrived.

What does "covering" mean?
As far as the eye could see, everything was red with countless firecrackers.

Just after Qi Min finished speaking, people from four directions simultaneously lit fires.

From the moment countless flames ignited to the billowing smoke, the entire process took less than ten seconds.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

At the same time, immediately after the firecrackers exploded, countless flashes of lightning shot into the sky.

"A barrage of cannon fire, that's really exciting!"

"It's so enjoyable!"

"Enjoyed!"

Qian Zhengxing walked to Gu Heng's side and couldn't help but cheer when he saw the scene.

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng turned to look at Qian Zhengxing and said with a smile, "Qian Xing, this is just the beginning. You're already having so much fun now. What are you going to do later?"

"Is there more later?"

Qian Zhengxing was stunned. Such a grand spectacle was only just beginning?
"That's natural."

Gu Heng smiled and replied, "If it's just whips and flashbangs, I won't have invited you, President Wang, and Dean Jiang over to join in the fun."

Just as Gu Heng and Qian Zhengxing were talking loudly, the firecrackers in front of them had almost all gone off. And at this moment of transition, the continuous "thud thud thud" sound was mixed into the sound of the flashing thunder.

"Bang bang bang..."

About five seconds later, a series of dazzling fireworks began to bloom in the dark night sky.

Unlike ordinary households that set off fireworks one after another, Zhencui Group uses a saturation-style approach.

Looking up, the entire sky was almost completely filled with dazzling fireworks.

Just after the dazzling fireworks display by Zhencui Group lit up the dark night sky, many drivers parked their cars at the intersection in front of Beichun International Financial Center and got out of their vehicles, either looking up to watch or taking pictures with their phones.

Many passersby and delivery drivers also stopped in their tracks.

Gu Heng even saw a food delivery guy tear open a food package from the insulated box on the back of his delivery vehicle, eat fried chicken, and lean back on the seat to watch the fireworks.

Good guy!
Your food delivery is being attacked by the rider in real life!
Seeing this scene, Gu Heng couldn't help but smile slightly. He inexplicably recalled that half a year ago, he was just like those food delivery guys, shuttling through the streets and alleys of the city, braving wind and rain, eating and sleeping outdoors every day.

'Daddy of the system...'

Thank you for choosing me!

"From now on, I'll be your own son. In a couple of years, your good son will give you many healthy grandchildren so you can enjoy your old age in peace!"

At this moment, Gu Heng was filled with gratitude.

"so beautiful……"

Luo Xiwen looked up at the dazzling fireworks in the sky, many of which were specially made artistic fireworks with shapes, colors, and effects completely different from ordinary fireworks.

Just then, she suddenly felt someone hug her slender waist.

Looking down again, she saw that the person holding her was Gu Heng.

Did you suffer some injustice today?

With a hint of tenderness in his eyes, Gu Heng whispered in Luo Xiwen's ear.

In a single sentence, Luo Xiwen instantly understood that Gu Heng actually knew everything that had happened to her in the Xige private room; he just hadn't said anything.

"No grievance."

Luo Xiwen shook his head.

"Your parents must have been pressuring you to get married a lot during the Chinese New Year, right?"

Although Gu Heng was asking a question, his tone was full of certainty.

Luo Xiwen pursed his lips, which was taken as tacit agreement.

"if……"

Gu Heng was silent for a few seconds, opened his mouth and uttered only two words before Luo Xiwen quickly interrupted him.

"No ifs!"

Luo Xiwen's eyes reddened almost instantly, and Gu Heng could feel Luo Xiwen's body trembling slightly: "You...you don't want me anymore?"

"You should know that I can't give you marriage. I'm afraid you'll regret it later."

Gu Heng tightened his right arm around Luo Xiwen's slender waist and responded softly.

"No regrets when you make a move!"

"Now that I've made up my mind about you, I will never regret it in this lifetime!"

"Even if you stop liking me and abandon me because I'm old and unattractive, I will still not regret the decision I made at 27!"

A single tear slid down her cheek. Luo Xiwen, who had always been dignified, gentle, virtuous and kind in front of Gu Heng, seemed to be shedding tears in front of him for the first time.

Her tears were completely different from Jiang Ruan's or Xu Mo's tears. Gu Heng's first reaction upon seeing her tears was:
I fucking deserve to die!

How could I bear to let such a sensible girl who loves you so much shed tears?

Am I still human?
I am really not a human being!

At the same time, Luo Xiwen's heartfelt words just now stirred up endless ripples in Gu Heng's heart, which lingered for a long time...
