The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 326: Heartbroken Twice
"Are you done with your work?"

After changing out of the large black cotton pajamas, Lin Xiao put on the red BV long skirt and came to Jian Xi. Seeing this, Lin Quan, who had always been curious, couldn't wait to ask.

Lin Xiao looked at Jian Xi, pretended to be reserved and took a sip of wine before replying, "Of course!"

Then she saw the curious look on Lin Quan's face, so she continued, "Do you want to know where we were just now?"

"As Daredevil?"

"..."

Lin Xiao's face suddenly flashed with embarrassment, and then he said unhappily: "I wanted to tell you, but now I don't want to."

"I don't really want to know." Little Green Tea snorted, holding Jian Xi's arm and said proudly, "I'll ask the senior to tell me later."

"You!" Lin Xiao glared at her, then looked at Jian Xi and said, "You are not allowed to tell her."

"We'll talk about this later." Jian Xi smiled, looked at the central stage of the banquet where the guests were gathered, and said, "Gu Li is going to go on stage now."

As soon as the words fell, the voice of the host of tonight's birthday party rang out in the banquet hall.

"Now, please invite Ms. Gu, the financial director of ME, to come to the stage and give a speech."

As the banquet hall grew quiet, Jian Xi and the two girls followed the crowd to the stage. Gu Li, who had also changed back into her previous lavishly decorated attire, stood happily in the center of the stage, smiling at everyone, including Gong Ming in the front.

"Good evening, everyone. I am honored to be here to speak on behalf of ME. Now I invite everyone present to raise a toast and wish Mr. Gong Ming a happy birthday!"

"Crash!"

There was thunderous applause in the hall. Gu Li's face was full of smiles. Looking at Gong Ming who was also smiling, he thought that something would happen later that would make him even happier.

After finishing his simple speech, Gu Li did not rush to leave, but continued to speak into the microphone: "Finally, I would like to take advantage of such an important occasion today to talk about something personal. I would like to introduce someone to you. He is very important to me, as if he is a gift from God to me."

Gu Li's voice echoed in every corner of the Gong family villa, and also in Gu Yuan's ears.

He suddenly became excited, and the annoyance and disappointment he had just felt when his good friend told him that he forgot to steal the household registration booklet disappeared. If his girlfriend wanted to introduce herself to everyone in such an occasion, why should he hesitate?

Even if I have to sever the mother-son relationship with my biological mother, I have to get the household registration book myself!

Just as Gu Yuan was excitedly waiting for his girlfriend to read out his name, Gu Li on the stage continued: "The most special thing is that he and I share the same surname, which is also Gu."

Hearing this, Gu Yuan had already taken out the ring he had prepared. No matter what, his girlfriend had made it clear that she wanted to propose to him, so what better time than now to propose?
"It was fate that brought us together. Let me introduce Mr. Gu to you..."

Gu Yuan looked back at his good brother Jian Xi who was not far away. As he was about to go on stage with a smile, Gu Li's voice continued to ring out: "My younger brother, Gu Zhun."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zhun, who had been waiting for a long time, walked onto the stage in a suit and tie, while a male friend with the same surname of Gu froze in place, holding the ring box in his hand tighter and tighter.

"Do you hear the sound of a heart breaking?"

Not far away, Jian Xi, who was watching all this, smiled and whispered to the two girls next to him.

Just as the two girls were confused, Gu Li's voice continued to sound: "He is the holder of 20% of Sheng Gu's hidden legacy shares. In other words, he is now also a member of ME."

Gu Li's voice was neither hurried nor slow. When she got the document just now, she had already decided to do this.

He pushed his younger brother to the stage, and before Gong Ming could react, he announced without authorization that his younger brother was also a member of "ME".

Taking Sheng Gu back was her biggest wish when she was outside Gong Ming's study just now. But now, her wish has been advanced. She wants to transplant the "ME" tree with its roots back to her own courtyard when she has the chance.

After two seconds of silence, Gu Li started clapping first, and then the banquet hall burst into thunderous applause. It seemed like the internal secret of "ME" was revealed, and they had to give face to it.

But besides Gu Yuan who had a grim look on his face, there were two other people in the audience who also had grim looks on their faces.

One is Gong Ming, and the other is his assistant Kitty.

What happened to Gu Li really caught him off guard. He didn't expect that Gu Li could remain so calm after going to his study and seeing the information.

Didn’t Gu Li look carefully?
What’s more, the other party actually dared to announce on his own initiative that Gu Zhun had joined "ME"!
Looking at the brother and sister on the stage, Gong Ming's face was extremely gloomy.

But soon, he looked at Gu Li's younger brother Gu Zhun beside him, and his eyes began to become thoughtful again.

The hidden inheritance of Sheng Gu that has never been found?
With Gu Li's words "The banquet begins", the atmosphere in the hall was pushed to a climax again.

The crystal dome on the first floor of the Gong family villa enveloped the banquet hall in an amber halo. The symphony orchestra that "ME" had hired at a huge expense began to play instruments. The melody of the waltz sounded, and many men and women in the center danced the waltz together.

Not everyone has to dance this kind of ballroom dance. It is purely voluntary. Many people just stand around and watch, such as Jian Xi.

At this moment, Lin Xiao, who was wearing a red dress, and Lin Quan, who was wearing a white dress, were in front of him like a pair of red and white evil spirits, with fire flickering in their eyes.

And at some point, Nan Xiang, who was wearing a blue skirt, quietly came up behind him.

Lin Xiao, who was in a standoff, felt that he could not continue to be in a stalemate like this, so he turned around and stretched out his hand to Jian Xi and said with a smile: "Jian Xi, let's go dance too!"

"..."

The dog man looked at the hand stretched out in front of him, and then looked at Lin Quan who was unhappy beside him. When he was thinking about whether to say that he had twisted his waist today, Lin Quan's eyes suddenly turned and said, "Senior, you dance with her. I just happened to chat with Senior Sister Nan Xiang."

"Hmm?" Lin Xiao frowned slightly, "What did you want to talk to Nan Xiang about?"

"It's none of your business!" Little Green Tea snorted, "Why don't you go and accompany your best friend while I dance with the senior?"

"dream!"

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes at her, then grabbed the man's hand and pulled him to the center of the hall.

"I didn't say I don't want to dance with you. Why are you in such a hurry to pull me over?" Jian Xi held Lin Xiao's hand with one hand and put the other hand under her shoulder blade and smiled.

Lin Xiao placed her other hand on the dog man's arm, and as the violin's syncopated sounds arose, she moved in tacit understanding with Jian Xi.

"Who told you to stand there and keep silent?"

When he was in school, Lin Xiao had learned some simple ballroom dancing, and what he had learned in school was more than enough for a banquet where many people danced.

After all, there are men and women who can't dance even better, so they simply put their hands together and start shaking.

After Lin Xiao said this, he was surprised to find that Jian Xi in front of him seemed to be very familiar with waltz, and at this moment it was almost him who led his pace.

"It doesn't matter if you step on my foot." Jian Xi said with a smile.

Lin Xiao felt the power coming from his hand and couldn't help asking, "Jian Xi, when did you become so good at waltz?"

"I have learned from a teacher before, private lessons."

Learning never ends. The extra lessons I took from those teachers in the past were not in vain. They will always be useful. Do you really think that the teachers I found only teach in bed?
"Really?" Lin Xiao smiled with narrowed eyes, "I was saying that you didn't take this course." "You never stop learning!" Jian Xi changed the subject and asked, "Did you succeed just now?"

"Well, Gu Li has got the documents she wanted."

"Great." Jian Xi complimented her against her will and then asked, "Did she say what she plans to do next?"

"Gu Li didn't say it, but it should be to take Sheng Gu back, right?" At this point, Lin Xiao's face showed a trace of entanglement. She looked up at Jian Xi, hesitated for two seconds and spoke again, "Jian Xi, there are actually two things I haven't said."

"What's going on? Are you pregnant?"

"Hate it! You're pregnant!" Lin Xiao was frightened by the sudden words of the bastard and almost stepped on his foot, but after adjusting herself, she still pinched his arm.

Jian Xi pretended to take a deep breath, then asked with a smile: "What do you want to talk about?"

"I..." Lin Xiao looked up at Jian Xi and stammered, "When I was in the company before, I ran into Ye Chuanping and Gong Ming saying... saying... that they wanted to give Gu Li's seat to Gu Yuan."

"..."

Jian Xi looked down at Lin Xiao in surprise. He didn't expect that what happened in the original drama would happen again. Would the fight continue like in the original drama?

After thinking about it, he nodded to show that he understood, and then asked, "What about the second thing?"

"I ran into Yuan Yi by accident not long ago."

……

Jian Xi and Lin Xiao were dancing in the center of the banquet hall to the melodious music. Lin Quan frowned at the scene in front of her, then turned her head away, thinking she would not see it or be annoyed. Then she picked up the wine and came behind Nan Xiang, who was rejecting another man's invitation.

"Senior Nanxiang, are you free?"

After rejecting another man who was stuffing a business card into her hand, Nan Xiang heard a voice behind her. She turned around and saw her other boss lady looking at her with a smile.

"I'm free, what can I do for you?"

"I want to talk to you." Xiao Lu Cha raised her glass and said with a smile.

"What to talk about?"

"Talk about--the things between you and Senior Jian Xi."

……

"Mr. Gong Ming, can I ask you to dance with me?"

On the other side of the banquet hall, Gu Li walked up to Gong Ming with confidence and took the initiative to extend her hand to invite him to dance.

"It's my pleasure." Gong Ming smiled faintly and held her hand, "Ms. Gu."

As the music played, the boss and subordinate, a man and a woman with blurred images of hostility and partnership, danced in each other's arms. Perhaps they really were just dancing to suit the occasion. When the song was halfway through, the two of them changed positions several times without saying a word.

Finally, Gu Li, who had been in an excited state, spoke first.

"Mr. Gong Ming, don't you have anything to ask me tonight?"

"Ask you?" Gong Ming's face was calm. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "You just announced that your brother is a member of ME. It seems that you did not get my consent, right?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gong Ming. I was so excited just now that I forgot about this." Gu Limai moved in the same rhythm as the other party. He said sorry, but there was no embarrassment on his face.

"It doesn't matter, it's not important." Gong Ming said lightly.

Seeing this, Gu Li laughed and said, "That's right, Mr. Gong Ming, this is not important. What's important is what I'm going to say next."

"whats the matter?"

"I know that ME's finances are in trouble, and even your Gong family's finances are in trouble, and I happen to have the Gong family's financial statements in my hands."

After saying this to Gong Ming, Gu Li felt so happy at the moment. God knows how long she had been rehearsing for this moment in her mind, and when this moment came, she found that this was countless times more exciting than the rehearsal.

From December last year when I agreed to the other party's acquisition to December this year, how can I not say that I have been sleeping on straw and eating bitter food during this one year?

However, something surprising happened soon. After hearing what she said, Gong Ming's face showed no other expression, let alone the panic expression she wanted to see on his face.

"How did you get this document?" Gong Ming asked softly.

"That's not the point." Gu Li smiled and danced to the beat with the other party, but the words he said were extremely cold. "The point is that I have the evidence of ME in my hand, and it is a bomb that is enough to send the Gong family to prison."

"What do you want?"

"Take back Sheng Gu."

After waiting for such a long time, Gu Li finally revealed her true colors to Gong Ming. However, what surprised her was that even so, Gong Ming still had a smile on his face, as if he didn't care at all about what she had just said.

"I originally thought that you would understand immediately once you saw the gift I prepared for you. It seems that I overestimated you." Gong Ming said softly. When Gu Li heard these words, in addition to the doubt in his eyes, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Ms. Gu, you are always bold in doing things, but you still need to be more careful." Gong Ming stopped dancing and looked at Gu Li in front of him with a smile, "You may not have noticed that the signature on the last page is 'Gu Li'. This document is not the financial statement of the Gong family, but the previous financial confirmation of Sheng Gu."

As Gong Ming's voice continued to ring in her ears, Gu Li's eyes widened and her heart grew heavier. The relaxed and happy mood she had just felt was gone at this moment.

When Gong Ming finished speaking, Gu Li shook off his hand and hurried to the corner of the banquet hall to take out his cell phone to check the photos of the documents he had taken when he entered Gong Ming's study not long ago.

After seeing that the signature on the photo was indeed her own as Gong Ming said, Gu Li felt dizzy and almost lost her balance.

"Next, please invite the representative of ME's partner, Ms. Ye Chuanping, to come on stage and give a speech."

"Hello everyone, on behalf of all ME's partners, Mr. Gong Ming, I wish you a happy birthday. In the future, Ye Group and ME will have closer cooperation. At the same time, I am here to announce a good news-"

While Gu Li was in a daze, the waltz symphony had disappeared. Ye Chuanping stood at the place where she had just spoken to everyone with great enthusiasm and spoke slowly. However, her mind was in a mess at the moment and she had no intention of listening to the annoying person anymore.

However, Ye Chuanping's next words made Gu Li feel what it meant that there is no worst thing, only worse things.

"My son Gu Yuan will serve as the new financial director of ME."

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes turned to Gu Li behind the crowd. It seemed that the financial director in the previous second was fired in this second?

"What's going on? Tonight, not only were the secrets inside ME exposed, but the power struggle inside was also exposed?"

"I heard the sound of heartbreak again." Jian Xi whispered to Lin Quan who returned to her side.
