Under the sunlight, the man’s strong figure was wrapped in a well-tailored suit, every gesture exuding a noble presence and an ever-present aura. His appearance was handsome, from the bridge of his nose to his lips, down to his chin, his well-defined features were enough to make hearts race feverishly. Even more rare was that pair of eyes deeper than black jade, shifting and deep, never revealing their true essence. Like a lion that gazes down on the world, nothing can escape its eyes. Gu Zixuan looked at him, whispers trembling in her heart. But soon, a shallow tremor... Wasn’t he supposed to be in a meeting? Why is he here? And showing up at a time ? Feng Chengjin remained silent, only looking at the paper in his palm, until he saw the contents, a faint smile tugged at his lips. After a pause, his gaze fell on Gu Zixuan, his voice became gentle in an instant, "Why write something ?" His gaze, like the deepest ocean, capable of drowning souls. Not to mention those words that stir one’s heartstrings. Gu Zixuan’s lashes trembled, the redness of sorrow in her eyes had not yet completely faded, but seeing Feng Chengjin, the newly rising hue spread more wantonly. Her gaze about to overflow with tears, causing the rich color in Feng Chengjin’s dark eyes to deepen. Gu Zixuan was at a loss for words. After a pause, Feng Chengjin reached out, in response to Zhou Huimei’s sharp inhale, using his fingertip to wipe away the tears at the corner of Gu Zixuan’s eye. "Don’t be sad, I’m here." The simple words, without much embellishment, but each pierced deeply into Gu Zixuan’s heart. Trembling, she stared in disbelief at Feng Chengjin, as more moisture clung between her lashes. On the other side, Zhou Huimei was stunned, her eyes wide in shock as she watched everything unfold before her. She recognized the man standing before her. President Feng Yi—never mind just the finance magazines, he was the cover of them. Feng Chengjin, the wealthiest man in Rong City, and even on the Forbes list in China and globally. Young and promising, even He Xiaoqi had murmured before about how having a meal with Feng Chengjin would be the greatest honor for a true heiress. But... what does any of this have to do with Gu Zixuan! Moreover, what was that gesture between them? Colleagues? Superior and subordinate? Pityingly helping? It can’t be that Feng Chengjin has taken a liking to Gu Zixuan and they’re having an affair! Zhou Huimei immediately dismissed this assumption. Gu Zixuan came back to her senses, aware of Zhou Huimei’s gaze, and seeing outside, she quickly turned her face away, escaping Feng Chengjin’s palm without speaking. The warmth of her palm gone, Feng Chengjin’s eyes deepened, knowing what was bothering Gu Zixuan, some emotion was condensing in his heart. He turned a chilly gaze towards Zhou Huimei. Zhou Huimei knitted her brows, yet didn’t know why. Only glancing at the promissory note in Feng Chengjin’s hand, though understanding the arrogance of his identity, still feeling it wasn’t right to let her family’s assets be taken so casually. Reaching out, she tried cautiously, "President Feng, my..." Feng Chengjin didn’t oblige, examining her from head to toe, "Mrs. Zhou?" The polite tone left Zhou Huimei unsure of his intentions, especially the profound meaning behind the corner of his lips... Still, slightly flattering, she nodded, "It’s me." Feng Chengjin smiled, and in the next moment, the promissory note bearing Gu Zixuan’s trembling handwriting was torn to pieces in his hands. The decisiveness of the tearing seemed like shattering the calculations of two women. The tearing was also done with such elegance and nobility, as if what he did wasn’t interfering with another’s family. Both women widened their eyes in shock, each equally astounded. Zhou Huimei’s pupils dilated further, her speech stuttering, "You, you, this is..." Feng Chengjin didn’t care to explain, only in the final moment, he threw the pieces of paper "whoosh" in front of Zhou Huimei. The scattered paper flew, carrying the utmost arrogance, leaving Zhou Huimei’s chaotic heart completely bombarded, yet she dared not lose her temper. Feng Chengjin chuckled softly, turning to look at Gu Zixuan, "Why not want the assets? You should, and since they should be yours, strive with all your might to claim them." The words sent a tremor through Gu Zixuan’s eyes, she glanced around at the company’s environment, "But, but..." Zhou Huimei also lost her temper, standing upright, she said, "President Feng, you can’t do this. This is a family matter between me and my daughter-in-law." "Daughter-in-law? Is she really your daughter-in-law?" Feng Chengjin laughed softly, then handed paper and pen to Gu Zixuan, saying, "Write a declaration pledging that you will never give up fighting for your rights." Gu Zixuan hesitated, so Feng Chengjin raised an eyebrow, and said, "Junsheng is now valued at 16.4 billion. According to marriage law, you can at least get half the property, tens of billions in assets. Just giving it up like that?" As if deliberately provoking Zhou Huimei, the tens of billions were spoken with much mischief. Gu Zixuan’s heart trembled. Zhou Huimei became utterly anxious, and at that moment, didn’t even care about Feng Chengjin’s identity, raising her voice, "President Feng! This is our family matter. She hasn’t publicly announced her divorce yet, so there are still social relations involved. You shouldn’t interfere; moreover, you don’t even know what’s going on with her!" Feng Chengjin: "I don’t need to know what’s going on." Apparently realizing that Feng Chengjin was determined to protect Gu Zixuan, Zhou Huimei simply laid everything bare, "It was her affair that led to the divorce. Even if you wish to protect her, you should see how public opinion will go. I don’t think your company hiring a woman with a tarnished reputation as a senior manager won’t affect the company’s reputation. Besides, as a woman, she may not pass down the family line, but she couldn’t even serve her husband or manage household chores. She’s become spoiled all these years, and now she’s probably using my son’s achievements to flaunt and swindle; you shouldn’t give her authority!" Zhou Huimei spoke with righteous indignation, saying everything that should and shouldn’t be said. Thinking about how her daughter Xiaoqi wanted to idle away in the company and get a manager position and couldn’t for years, yet Gu Zixuan managed to become a director! Gu Zixuan felt cold as if in the bottom of a valley, knowing that if she didn’t agree with Zhou Huimei, she would surely say this and would spread it through the entire company in an instant. "Aren’t you a woman?" Feng Chengjin suddenly raised his eyebrows. Check latest chapters at NoveI~Fire.net Zhou Huimei was stunned, "I..." Feng Chengjin laughed, "I think, as the mother of Junsheng’s president now, at the very least, dignity and self-respect are expected. Regardless of the divorce matter, parting amicably is best. Continuously denigrating others will only make people think you’re a gossip and spiteful, what’s the point?" Zhou Huimei was even more stunned, "I..." Feng Chengjin continued, "Moreover, even if you got her to write this guarantee, do you think she would leave cleanly?" Zhou Huimei was even more stunned, staring, "What do you mean by that..." Feng Chengjin smiled, his gesture of placing his hands in his pockets was both noble and imposing, "I’m sorry, but I currently hold nearly 20% of your company’s shares." Realizing something was amiss, Zhou Huimei stood upright, clutching her handbag tightly, "What are you trying to do?" Feng Chengjin’s lips curled into a wicked and rampant smile, "Just telling you a fact. The man Gu Zixuan had an affair with... was me." In an instant, the entire reception room became quiet. Except for Zhou Huimei who was petrified, stunned. Gu Zixuan’s wildly beating heart. Amid the crowd outside, a tall figure hurried over, although standing in the aisle, could not hear the dialogue inside. Yet was watching Feng Chengjin’s lip movements. The obvious words "me." Also froze their footsteps. In an instant, the wheel of time seemed to turn back through eight years, turning further back past college, past high school, past middle school, and finally landing at that government compound where Yu Yuanshen first went to Gu Zixuan’s house to play, seeing that incredibly adorable little girl who was merely three years old. The parents and Aunt Gu, Uncle Gu, encouraged the nine-year-old him with pure hearts to hold her. When he held her in his arms, Gu Zixuan giggled, hugged his neck, and kissed him noisily on the cheek. That was the closest he’d ever been to her in his life. But... the hands of time never give him a moment’s pause, always a step too late, letting his dark brown eyes quietly watch inside, some color finally trembling in his eyes. That hint of touching moisture, faced with the friend introduced by Feng Chengyue, brought him inside. Seeing President Feng inside now, was incredibly surprised, and when turning to look at him, was even more shocked by a department manager, "President Yu, this..." Yu Yuanshen turned around to leave. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the glass room inside. The dispute inside unclear, but President Feng’s appearance, coupled with that defiant attitude, collectively sparked a wild idea. What is the relationship between the new Director Gu and President Feng! No one cared about who that handsome, tall, and outstanding man who just appeared was. Yu Yuanshen quietly walked away, just as he had quietly arrived. Xu Zhimo had a poem that said it well. Just as I silently came; Without taking away a cloud.]
