Just now, the series of events that happened in the Gong family were so sudden that everyone present was caught off guard and fell into a state of extreme shock.

Time seemed to stand still, and everyone stood there in a daze, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

Until this moment, Gong Jin slowly walked out of Xiaoxiao's room. His steady and firm steps broke the silence at the scene and made others gradually regain their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream.

He Zhao was the first to speak. He looked at He Li beside him with suspicion and said in a low voice, "Brother, that woman...she looks so much like Gu Yan. No, it should be said that they are exactly the same, as if they are the same person."

However, before He Zhao could finish his words, Gong Jin interrupted him rudely and refuted him in a stern voice: "Shut up! She is my fiancée, her name is Gong Xiaoxiao, and she is definitely not the Gu Yan you are talking about!"

Although Gong Jin spoke so tough, in fact, deep down in his heart, he was the only one who knew the secrets of Xiaoxiao's true identity and past experiences.

It turns out that over two years ago, while enjoying a relaxing vacation in Qingcheng, Gong Jin happened to spot a woman floating alone on the vast ocean, her life hanging by a thread. Driven by instinct and kindness, Gong Jin unhesitatingly launched a rescue operation, ultimately successfully pulling the woman back from the brink of death.

And the woman who was rescued is Gong Xiaoxiao who now appears in front of everyone.

At this moment, He Li, who had been silent all this time, finally raised his head, stared straight at Gong Jin, and unexpectedly said two words - "Thank you."

Then he added, "Thank you, Gong Jin. I owe you a huge favor. Thank you for saving my wife."

It turned out that from the moment He Li saw Gong Xiaoxiao with his own eyes, he was already extremely certain in his heart that the woman in front of him was no one else but his beloved Gu Yan, whom he had been thinking about and missing day and night for so many years.

When Gong Jin heard He Li say that, it was like a bolt from the blue hitting his heart, instantly shattering the pitiful dignity he had been struggling to maintain.

Gong Jin's face was terribly gloomy. He clenched his teeth tightly and squeezed out a few words: "He Li, I solemnly tell you again, Xiaoxiao is my fiancée, the person I want to protect for the rest of my life. Please shut up and stop saying such nonsense. Otherwise, don't blame me for canceling this crucial cooperation!"

When Gong Jin said this, He Mian, who was standing beside him, suddenly panicked. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He quickly rushed forward, bowed deeply to Gong Jin with an apologetic smile, and apologized with fear and trepidation: "Mr. Gong, I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry! My good-for-nothing brother must have been blinded by greed, so he spoke nonsense without thinking. That woman died many years ago. It's just that your fiancée happens to be somewhat similar to her in appearance. I hope you will be magnanimous and don't take it to heart. He originally accompanied me to discuss this cooperation. I will definitely persuade him to quickly give up those unrealistic ideas and stop being so stubborn!"

However, before He Mian could finish his words, He Zhao suddenly jumped out like a madman. His eyes widened with anger, and he shouted at He Mian: "Brother, do you know what you are doing? Our He family is a famous and renowned family in Jinghai City. It is not inferior to the Gong family in any way, and it can even be said that it is even better! Why do you have to be so humble and lower yourself?"

He Zhao frowned slightly, looking displeased at He Mian's unacceptable behavior for this cooperation. In contrast, He Li seemed very calm and clear-headed. He was fully aware of the current situation, but at this moment, all his attention was focused on the girl named Xiaoxiao.

"Gong Jin, you don't need to be so nervous. It's not difficult to see that you really care about her. In fact, in my heart, there has always been only one woman who can occupy an important position, and that person is Gu Yan. If this Miss Xiaoxiao and Gu Yan really have no connection, then I will definitely not be unreasonable or entangled." When He Li said this, Gong Jin's expression became extremely complicated, making it difficult to tell whether he was happy or sad.

At this moment, Zhao Qingqing, who had been standing silently in the back, suddenly emerged from the corner. Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to her. Zhao Qingqing calmly pulled out her phone and tapped the screen, showing everyone a photo. It turned out to be a close-up photo of her and Gu Yan.

"Mr. Gong, please listen to me. I am Gu Yan's best friend. Two and a half years ago, something unfortunate happened. Gu Yan was kidnapped and has been missing ever since. At that time, everyone, even myself, despaired that she had left this world. However, there was only one person who firmly believed that Gu Yan was still alive, and that person was He Li! For all these years, he has never given up on searching for Gu Yan, and has been secretly sending people to inquire and search everywhere."

Zhao Qingqing handed the phone to Gong Jin and continued, "And the fiancée next to you does look exactly like Gu Yan. If you don't believe me, you can take a look at this photo."

Gong Jin took the phone and saw a photo of a woman on the screen.

The woman's face was exactly the same as Xiaoxiao's, but if you looked closely, you could see that the girl in the photo had a hint of sadness in her eyes. She was completely different from the cheerful and bright Xiaoxiao who was now being carefully cared for by him and living a carefree life.

Faced with such irrefutable evidence, Gong Jin remained unmoved. He responded coldly, "Everything in the world can have similarities, and the same is true for people's appearances. In this vast sea of ​​​​humans, there are all kinds of strange things. It's not surprising that people with similar appearances appear. No matter how eloquent you are, Xiaoxiao is Xiaoxiao, and she will never be anyone else."

Obviously, Gong Jin has made up his mind not to let anything interfere with his grand wedding with Xiaoxiao next month.

Seeing Gong Jin's resolute attitude, He Li couldn't help but raise his voice. "Gong Jin, I have one last question for you. Who are Miss Xiaoxiao's parents? Where does she live? You should know clearly. If you refuse to tell the truth today, even without your cooperation, I will definitely find out the truth through other means."

He Li's seemingly plain words seemed to carry an invisible pressure, making it impossible to ignore the unquestionable firmness in them.

"You can try it."

These few simple words, when spoken from Gong Jin's mouth, were like a sharp sword piercing people's hearts.

However, in the face of such a blatant threat, Gong Jin remained calm, and even raised a slight disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth.

Not to mention that he is now in Beihuai, his family's territory, even if he is in any corner of the earth, Gong Jin firmly believes that he has enough strength to protect his beloved woman.

At this moment, Xiaoxiao, who had been sleeping, slowly woke up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, slowly stood up and walked to the door.

As she approached the door, she heard a fierce quarrel outside. Listening carefully, she found that it was a group of people confronting Gong Jin, and one of them even threatened Gong Jin without any hesitation.

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao's heart tightened instantly, and a nameless fire suddenly rose up. Without time to think about it, she pushed open the door anxiously and ran straight to where everyone was.

"What do you want to do? Don't bully my Gong Jin!"

With a roar of fury, Xiaoxiao rushed in front of Gong Jin like a lioness protecting her cubs. Her eyebrows were raised, her eyes were wide, and her pretty face was flushed with anger. She exuded a fierce aura that made everyone present look at her sideways.

When Gong Jin saw Xiaoxiao rushing towards him without hesitation and standing in front of him without hesitation, the iron-hard defense line in his heart collapsed instantly, and an indescribable warmth and softness surged into his heart like a tide.

It was as if at this moment, all the noise in the world had drifted away from him, leaving only the petite but extremely brave woman in front of him.

The negative emotions that had been shrouding Gong Jin's heart like a gloomy haze vanished the moment Xiaoxiao appeared. He looked at Xiaoxiao's slightly pale but still beautiful face and whispered, "Xiaoxiao, why did you come out? It's dangerous here. Go back quickly! Don't worry, I can easily handle this little trouble."

However, Gong Jin's words did not make Xiaoxiao retreat even a step. She just stood there quietly, like an indestructible fortress.

At this moment, He Li's eyes were fixed on Xiao Xiao. His heart felt as if it were being slashed by thousands of sharp blades, the pain so severe that he could hardly breathe.

Every time he saw Gu Yan being hurt or in danger, he would feel deep remorse and regret. But even so, He Li was still silently grateful to God in his heart, grateful that God did not ruthlessly take Gu Yan's life.

Because as long as Gu Yan is still alive, it is the most precious gift in the world for He Li.

Xiaoxiao raised her head slightly and bravely met He Li's gaze that was full of pain and concern.

Then, she slowly extended her right hand and gently grasped Gong Jin's left hand. At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and everything around them became unimportant.

Xiaoxiao's eyes were extremely firm, revealing a fearless courage, as if telling everyone that no matter what difficulties and obstacles awaited them ahead, she would never retreat and would move forward bravely.
