Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

The night was dark and quiet, and perhaps because of the cold, there were very few pedestrians on the road.

The starlight shone on the front of his Ferrari, making it glow white, and the trees rustled in the wind.

Su Yu kept looking up at the 28th floor, the lights were blinding, and a series of pains came from his heart, which was hard to accept.

After watching for about half an hour, he took out his phone and called Qin Kai. "Where are you?"

After hanging up the phone, he quickly started the engine and drove towards the location Qin Kai had reported.

They soon arrived at Qin Kai's apartment, where he bought a pack of cigarettes at the supermarket downstairs.

He knew the password to Qin Kai's apartment and had been there often before. At work, they were boss and subordinate, but after work, they were friends.

Seeing Su Yu enter looking dejected, Qin Kai couldn't wait to ask, "Did you fail to confess your feelings?"

The shrewd and perceptive man didn't think that workplace matters could make Su Yu so distraught. Having followed him for so many years, he understood him to some extent.

Even when the project failed, I had never seen it in this half-dead state.

The only thing I can think of is that I was rejected by the girl I like.

Su Yu sat down on the sofa, a slight smirk playing on his lips. "So it's good you failed at confessing. Do you have any wine? Let's have a drink. I'll sleep here tonight." He didn't even get a chance to confess; she's already pregnant, and he doesn't even know who he lost to.

Qin Kai wasn't in a hurry for his answer. He shrugged and replied, "Yes, are there any strong ones?"

"Can."

Qin Kai thought to himself, "Looks like she's trying to drown her sorrows in alcohol and is coming to me for comfort."

Alright, what can I do? We're brothers.

A short while later, Qin Kai brought a bottle of strong liquor and two glasses and sat down next to him, filling each glass to the brim.

After downing a glass of wine, he said unhurriedly, "Let me call your Empress first, so that Auntie won't wait all night."

Su Yu was so overwhelmed with frustration that he forgot about the matter and only wanted to vent.

He quickly called his mother, explaining that he needed to meet a client with Qin Kai that evening and wouldn't be home. As soon as work was mentioned, his mother inevitably started by complaining about his father, before understandingly telling her son to take care of himself.

After Su Yu hung up the phone, Qin Kai said, "If you're feeling down, talk about it. I'll be your emotional dumping ground."

Qin Kai is tight-lipped, that much is undeniable, and it was because of this that he openly admitted his feelings for her at the hot pot restaurant that day.

Su Yu drank another glass of wine, lit a cigarette and held it between his fingers. The smell of nicotine did not dispel the irritation in his heart. "She's pregnant."

This surprised Qin Kai. What did he say to him at the hot pot restaurant that day? He told him not to miss the person while waiting. At the time, Su Yu said she was too young. In the end, not only did they miss each other, but she was also pregnant. And it wasn't just that she had a boyfriend.

Qin Kai asked seriously, "So she's getting married, and you don't have a chance to confess your feelings?"

Su Yu stubbed out his cigarette. The smoke tasted a bit bitter and wasn't very pleasant to smoke. He rubbed his aching temples. "She doesn't have a boyfriend."

Qin Kai thought of a term, "one-night stand." Was the girl Su Yu liked really that promiscuous? She didn't seem like it.

Su Yu threw a tissue at her. Even though the girl was pregnant, he still defended her reputation immediately. "What are you thinking? She's not that kind of person. She's been drugged."

Qin Kai: Isn't this just a one-night stand? What's the difference? Qin Kai, who has never been in a relationship, couldn't think of any difference.

They all happened in one night, not overnight, right? Is there some other new word?

Su Yu was probably drunk, and he became unusually talkative. He muttered to himself, "I always thought she was still young, so I didn't dare to show it and thought I would wait. Now I don't even have the chance to confess. The girl I've liked for so long is pregnant, but I always thought she was still young. Isn't that ironic?"

Qin Kai shook his head helplessly, but he was curious. Judging from Su Yu's expression, it seemed like he'd liked her for more than a year or two; it must have been quite a while. "How long have you liked her?"

Su Yu shook her head, smiled to herself, and didn't immediately tell Qin Kai the exact time. Instead, she began to share the secret she had kept in her heart. "We've been playing together since we were little. She was Xiaoxue's classmate. They were classmates in elementary school, middle school, high school, and university. Isn't that a coincidence? Xiaoxue really liked her and always brought her home to play. She's very sensible and polite. Even my mom, who's so difficult to deal with, likes her. How could I escape it? I've liked being close to her since I was little. I think it was around the time she was 15 that I realized I liked her. It's been eight years now. In eight years, I haven't confessed even once. Now I don't even have the chance to confess anymore. It seems like a failure. I deserve to lose." After saying this, she silently drank a glass of wine, her voice a little hoarse.

Even Qin Kai was surprised that Su Yu had hidden his feelings so deeply. Eight years is a long time for someone to love someone so much. How could he have persisted in his unrequited love for so long? Was Su Yu's acting skills too good, or was Miss Tang just too oblivious to notice?

In the end, it was Su Yu's own fault for missing the opportunity. If he had spoken up earlier, the outcome might not have been like this, and he wouldn't even have had the chance.

If Su Yu were to confess his feelings again, it would be a buy-one-get-one-free deal.

Qin Kai couldn't help but think of a line from a video he'd seen recently: "I love you, but you don't know that when I finally mustered the courage to tell you this secret, you had already married someone else and become someone else's bride."

Now she's not just married to someone else, she's a mother.

This is perhaps the most tragic relationship.

Qin Kai sighed and couldn't help but say to him, "I warned you a long time ago, but you insisted on pretending to be so affectionate and keeping everything to yourself."

The organization's efficiency is very fast; it lives up to its name, "Extreme Speed ​​Across the City," as its speed is indeed impressive.

the next day.

The news was overwhelming with photos of Tang Junting's ambiguous relationship with a rich second-generation from the capital during high school, as well as photos of her entering and leaving hotels with men during her university years. Tang Junyao was already very kind and did not ask for more explicit photos. After all, she was her grandfather's granddaughter, and she was still soft-hearted and gave her grandfather some face, leaving her some dignity.

It's good to shatter her dreams of marrying into wealth and status; there probably won't be any suitable men to match her in the future, and the Ji family certainly won't accept her.

The second news item that followed immediately was undoubtedly about Lu Man.

The news revealed that Lu Man's original family name was Xu, and she was the niece of the Lu family's wife. Because she was favored by the old master of the Lu family, she requested to change her name to Lu Man. In fact, she is not the real granddaughter of the Lu family.

The photo also included a picture of Lu Man's ambiguous interaction with the person in charge of the previous bidding project. Although there was no accompanying text, it was simply attached to the news article that Lu Man was not the so-called granddaughter. Anyone with eyes could see that in this advanced era, people's minds are also evolving. They fill in the gaps in their understanding with their own imaginations, and they will only fill in too much of it, not too little.

There are already many comments below. Lu Man's trending topic is higher than Tang Junting's. After all, the title of Lu family granddaughter is very conspicuous. The more famous you are, the more people will talk about you. Tang Junting is a nobody. Tang Junyao never intended to cause any big trouble. She is the one who pushed things along. Lu Man is the person behind the scenes.

"Damn, Lu Man is really disgusting. She is Madam Lu's niece, but she still insists on changing her surname to Lu."

"Could Lu Man be having an affair with the project manager? And wasn't she in a relationship with so-and-so before? Was the bidding process for this project fair?"

"Oh yeah, oh yeah, I saw that so-and-so got it the other day, could it be that Lu Man slept with her?"

In the capital, even when people are discussing him, they dare not call him by his name directly.

Almost no one directly discusses Ji Hancheng.

Tang Junyao was unaware that her actions had also caught Ji Hancheng off guard. Because of Lu Man's influence, some of those who had failed in their bids dared to request a review and a re-bidding process to ensure fairness. Since those who secretly voiced their concerns were all wealthy, the leader was helpless and had no choice but to decide to conduct a review.

Of course, I consulted Ji Hancheng beforehand.

They didn't want to offend this man either.
