Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

Gong Xiaochen had no intention of letting her go and grabbed her wrist.

“It’s been three days. I’ll pick you up after get off work tonight. If there’s anything you need to pack, I’ll have someone go to Jiuru Mansion to get it for you.”

"You set the three-day timeframe yourself; I didn't agree to it. No. 7 Courtyard isn't my home, so why should I go back?"

“I am all yours, how can No. 7 Courtyard not be your home?” Gong Xiaochen retorted.

“I have no interest in playing these word games with you. I already made myself clear to you that day.” Wen Shengsheng looked at him expressionlessly. “I won’t go to Courtyard No. 7, and… I don’t want to be with you anymore.”

Gong Xiaochen's expression turned cold, and his grip on Wen Shengsheng's wrist tightened.

"Let go, I'm leaving." Wen Shengsheng struggled against the hand that felt as hot as a burning iron, but it was clearly no use.

Gong Xiaochen stood up and surrounded her in front of the dining table.

"Are you still angry? I'll bring those scoundrels here and make them apologize to you, okay?"

"I'm not angry anymore."

"Then why are you still treating me like this? I've cleared up the misunderstanding, apologized to you, and helped you get revenge. Why do you still hate me?"

Wen Shengsheng turned her face away, not wanting to look at him.

Although she rested at home for two days, she still didn't look well; her face was pale and her cheeks weren't as round as before.

Most importantly, those bright black and white eyes had lost their former sparkle.

It was as if shrouded in a thick fog, devoid of any vitality, like two dried-up ancient wells, staring at you with deathly stillness.

Gong Xiaochen hugged her and said helplessly, "What do you want to make you happy? Tell me, and I'll do it, okay?"

Sensing that Gong Xiaochen was constantly lowering his stance, Wen Shengsheng closed her eyes.

"You don't need to do anything for me anymore, and don't force me anymore. You're always putting pressure on me, and I'm afraid of you and it's exhausting for me."

Gong Xiaochen froze.

Wen Shengsheng took the opportunity to push him away, saying, "I'm going to work."

After leaving the 28th floor, Wen Shengsheng felt she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She returned to the project site right on time for her afternoon shift.

Her colleagues in the project department all turned their gazes toward her, staring at her with varying expressions for a moment before slowly looking away.

He busied himself as if nothing was wrong.

Wen Shengsheng's face flushed red and then turned pale, and she cursed Gong Xiaochen in her heart again.

"I have a field assignment this afternoon, come with me."

As Ba Wen packed his things, he said to Wen Shengsheng.

"it is good."

Wen Shengsheng couldn't wait to leave the office and stop facing everyone.

After quickly packing her things, she left with Bavin.

As soon as they got in the car, Ba Wen glanced over with a teasing look, "The mystery of Brother Juhao has finally been solved, future boss lady."

Having anticipated being teased, Wen Shengsheng didn't care.

“I’m not, don’t call me that,” she said.

"Why not? Didn't the boss himself admit that you're his girlfriend?"

"We're not compatible, and we're already talking about breaking up..."

Bawen has been married for many years, has children, and a happy family. Judging from her words and expression, one can roughly guess what happened.

Did he upset you?

"Not really."

In the project team, Wen Shengsheng and Ba Wen had the best relationship. They were both mentor and friend, and Ba Wen took the most care of her in everything, big or small.

Since Xia Xiaobai's incident, she had never told anyone and had always kept it to herself. Today, when Ba Wen asked, she couldn't help but tell him.

After hearing this, Bavin became unusually serious.

"Actually, you can't blame Young Master Gong for this. It's already very good that a man would do this much for you, really."

Then he added, "But you're not wrong either. There are a lot of troubles in life. If his family keeps pulling this stunt on you, no matter how good your relationship is, it will eventually be worn down."

“Yes.” Wen Shengsheng nodded. “So I don’t want to be with him anymore. He doesn’t agree, so I have to break up with him.”

"Hehe." Bavin laughed. "See, you're being childish again."

"How have I been childish?"

"When the connection ends, you will naturally separate. If the connection is not yet over, no matter how hard you try to sever the relationship, it is just a futile struggle. In life, many times it seems that you are making choices, but in fact it is all an arrangement made by fate."

"..."

This is the most profound sentence I've ever heard Bavin say since I met him.

Wen Shengsheng was stunned... It felt like something had hit her chest hard several times.

She was completely dazed, and spent the entire afternoon thinking about that sentence.

Until I finished my work and returned to Qingshan Capital.

Song Jing called her.

"Sheng Sheng, Huo Ling and I are downstairs at your company. Come over here."

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Shengsheng left a little early and saw Huo Ling's black Hummer by the roadside.

After getting in the car, Wen Shengsheng gave Huo Ling the address, and the three of them set off together for the Qianxi Hotel.

On the top floor of the Qingshan Building, Gong Xiaochen lit a cigarette and squinted as he watched the Hummer slowly drive away from the roadside.

"We've already sent someone to follow Miss Wen."

Chen Ze, standing behind him, said, "Also, Ms. Xia has been in Beijing for several days and has been trying to find you. The receptionist turned her away again today."

"She's not here to see me; she's trying to find a way to rescue Su Rui," Gong Xiaochen said in a deep voice.

"Didn't we confirm that night? Su Rui has everything under control."

"Yes, I've already promised my grandfather that I won't fight with the Su family anymore. Since she hasn't been able to see me, she'll naturally give up in a few days."

......

In the car.

"Sis, how much do you know about this hotel?" Wen Shengsheng asked Song Jing in the passenger seat.

Song Jing looked slightly uncomfortable.

"Actually, I don't know much either. I just remember that a few years ago it was called Tianxi, but the business didn't do very well, so your uncle sold the hotel."

According to Qingshan Capital's information, the Qianxi Hotel project was initiated by Xi's family three years ago when they approached Qingshan Capital for investment.

Wen Shengsheng carefully studied the entire hotel's situation.

It is located in the suburbs of Beijing, next to a large artificial lake and very close to Shoushan Mountain, so it was initially operated as a resort hotel.

After being sold to the Xi family, it was transformed into a five-star conference hotel.

Adopting an independent management model, all recruitment, training, and operations are handled internally by Xi's Group.

Many of Xi's meetings are held here. In addition, Xi has a wide network of contacts and the hotel is well-managed, so many of Xi's partners like to hold their meetings here, which is why the business is thriving.

As dusk approached, Wen Shengsheng saw the familiar yet unfamiliar artificial lake from the car.

This artificial lake is called Shengyang Lake.

Her father felt that the lake was not only in a good location, but its name also sounded like her name and had a good meaning, so he was very optimistic about the project at the time.

Based on Wen Shengsheng's current professional experience, she believes her father's judgment is correct.

There are so many wealthy people in Beijing, but there are only a few natural scenic spots around the city.

Shoushan is one of them, and its development is relatively complete.

So if this area is managed well, it should be profitable.

But why did my uncle's business fail?

As darkness fell, the three finally entered the Qianxi Hotel.

Without taking in the overall appearance of the hotel, Wen Shengsheng adjusted her collar and stepped into the hotel lobby first.

As she was pondering which identity to use to visit the general manager's office, she saw a familiar figure walking towards her.

"Oh, I didn't expect to see my niece here."

Xi Jianguo's slightly surprised voice rang out.
