My love-brained brothers spoil me to the skies

As the two were talking, they soon arrived at the president's office. Along the way, people around them nodded and greeted Li Ran, which showed that Li Ran's status here was not low.

Li Ran's face was full of pride. She glanced at Nangong Jin casually, but the other party did not show the envious expression she imagined. Li Ran gradually clenched her knuckles.

Nangong Jin was very curious about the unfamiliar environment, "Li Ran, what is your position here at Gu's?"

"I'm Mr. Gu's secretary. Here we are, Xiaojin. I'll take you in!"

“Knock knock knock…Mr. Gu, your guests are here!”

Only then did Gu Jingxing look up at the two of them and tidied up the documents on his desk.

"Go out first, Li Ran, don't come in without my order!"

Li Ran first glanced at Nangong Jin inconspicuously, nodded, smiled, walked out and closed the door.

Nangong Jin looked at his spacious office and the unique scenery in the sky outside the window, and he felt relaxed.

Gu Jingxing pushed open his office chair and walked to her side. "Ms. Nangong, you finally remembered me? I almost threw away your lawyer's license!"

Nangong Jin felt a little embarrassed when she heard his teasing. She took out an envelope and handed it over.

"Mr. Gu, thank you very much for your help that day. This is the room fee I paid you. Please return my ID to me!"

Gu Jingxing took the envelope and said, "Ms. Nangong, you are so generous. I thought you were here for a job interview. Or do you think you don't like my place?"

Gu Jingxing's words were clearly meant to embarrass Nangong Jin by using self-mockery.

"I, I'll think about it again!"

Then, she quickly snatched her lawyer's license while he wasn't paying attention and ran away.

Gu Jingxing felt his hands suddenly empty, and when he came to his senses, Nangong Jin had already opened the door and ran out. He was not angry, but just pushed his glasses with a gleam in his eyes.

Li Ran saw Nangong Jin running out in a hurry, completely unaware of what was going on, but she was still at work and couldn't catch up to ask.

Nangong Jin ran all the way until she walked out of the Gu building. She sat down on a chair nearby, panting, like a guilty thief, to rest.

At this time, the news about the marriage between the Gu family and the Nangong family had actually spread like wildfire. The entire upper class society of the imperial capital was talking about it. It could be said to be a major event in the city in recent times.

Nangong Jin wandered aimlessly on the street until it got dark, then she was ready to return to the Nangong family after having a good meal and a drink.

At this moment, suddenly a black luxury car stopped in front of her, and she took a few steps back with a little caution.

The back door opened, and a familiar voice was heard: "Nangong Jin, get in!"

As soon as Nangong Jin saw that the other person was He Zichen, he relaxed his guard, but he still hesitated before sitting in.

Along the way, neither of them spoke. Through the light outside the car window, Nangong Jin noticed the bruises on He Zichen's face.

She hurriedly reached up and touched him: "What's wrong with you? Why are you hurt? Do you think you are still the same person you were five years ago..."

Nangong Jin suddenly paused, withdrew his hand awkwardly, and remained silent again.

He Zichen suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Are you really going to get engaged to someone else?!"

After hearing this, Nangong Jin clutched her clothes tightly with both hands, lowered her head and did not reply to him immediately.

Just as He Zichen's eyes were gradually filled with disappointment, Nangong Jin said softly, "He is my bargaining chip for winning!"

He Zichen suddenly laughed, and his laugh was very happy, just as free and easy as he was five years ago.

He pulled out a ring box from his arms and stuffed it into Nangong Jin's hand.

"This is my mother's legacy, Nangong Jin, this time it's your turn to wait for me. Five years, no, three years. Give me three years to deal with these trivial matters, and then we'll get married!"

After saying that, he seemed to be afraid of hearing the answer he didn't want to hear. He opened the car door and got out without looking back.

The driver immediately started the car slowly and drove Nangong Jin away.

Nangong Jin looked back at He Zichen who was standing at the back of the car, all alone. Suddenly, he felt that he was very lonely and pitiful!

If she didn't know that the He Group was a legitimate business, she would have almost thought that He Zichen had joined the underworld.

Every time they met, he was protected by bodyguards, and now he had a wound on his face. Nangong Jin felt that he could not imagine what kind of dangerous place the He family was!

Nangong Jin held the ring box tightly, and a few tears flowed down unconsciously.

"He Zichen, you are a fool!"

She wiped her tears and muttered to herself.

Some people don’t know what’s so good about him, but no one can replace him.

The car quickly stopped at the gate of Nangong's house, and the driver respectfully asked Nangong Jin to get out of the car.

The housekeeper had received the news that Nangong Jin had returned home, and immediately came forward to greet her: "Miss, the Madam wants to see you!"

Nangong Jin frowned in confusion and thought to himself: It’s so late, and you still want to see me, is there something important?

Nangong Jin guessed all the way to the front hall, only to see Madam Nangong waiting there early. When she saw Nangong Jin, she immediately stood up and walked forward with a kind face.

"Xiao Jin, why are you back so late? Have you eaten?"

Nangong Jin had no special feelings for the woman in front of him, or rather, no feelings at all. As long as the other party did not take the initiative to provoke Nangong Jin, they could still live in harmony.

Nangong Jin just nodded coldly: “If there is nothing else, I will go back to my room first!”

After she finished speaking, she left. Madam Nangong quickly stopped her and explained with a smile: "Your grandma said that you have to dress up well tomorrow and get up early because the Gu family is coming to discuss the marriage!"

"Also, I have had the dress and jewelry you're going to wear tomorrow delivered to your room. Take a look and see if you like them. If not, I can buy new ones for you!"

Suddenly she took off the bracelet on her hand and forced it on Nangong Jin's wrist.

The jade bracelet was crystal clear, smooth and flawless, and Nangong Jin immediately wanted to take it off and return it to her.

"Xiao Jin, do you think my meeting gift is not good enough?"

As she spoke, her eyes turned red and she looked aggrieved. Nangong Jin had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.

"Thank you! I'll go back to my room first!

Nangong Jin returned to the room and saw the clothes and jewelry hanging in the closet. They were indeed very good things. Nangong Jin looked at the jade bracelet on his wrist and a trace of pity appeared in his eyes.

"Forget it, whether it's a human or a ghost, it will eventually reveal its true colors!"

The next day, she was still wearing her usual clothes and dressed up casually, as simple as possible.

At this time, the maid came in: "Miss, the old lady wants you to go to the front hall to meet the guests!"

She secretly glanced at Nangong Jin, and then she was shocked and shouted: "Miss, why are you dressed like this? The old lady will be angry if she sees it. I will help you dress again..."

Nangong Jin ignored her and walked out of the room, "Let's go. It's unfilial to let grandma wait for me!"

The maid knelt on the ground with a pale face, "It's over, it's over..."

Nangong Jin turned left and right and slowly came to the front hall. She first stood outside the door secretly and looked inside, wanting to see what the people from the Gu family looked like.

Unexpectedly, she was spotted by the sharp-eyed old lady, who immediately called her in: "Xiao Jin, what are you doing there secretly? The customer has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Nangong Jin curled her lips and walked in reluctantly. Mrs. Nangong was shocked when she saw her dress.

She quickly and quietly pulled her back: "Xiao Jin, why are you dressed like this? Come back with me and dress up again!"

Nangong Jin raised his eyebrows, looking indifferent, “No need, I think this is good enough!”

As he said that, he broke free from the other person's hand and sat directly next to the man from the Gu family.

Nangong Jin admired the furious look of the old lady opposite him with provocative eyes.

The person sitting next to her suddenly said, "Nangong Jin, we meet again!"
