[Rebirth] Black lotus watered with sugar water

It happened to be snowing on the day when the Sun family came to Donglin to host their first banquet.The sky was gray, with large cumulus clouds piled up in the sky, and white snowflakes drifted down and fell on the hurrying pedestrians.

It's winter.

Holding an umbrella, the driver hurried to the door on the other side and opened it for Gu Ningyuan. The traffic next to him was very noisy.Most of the wives are exquisitely dressed, holding an umbrella in one hand and supporting a pretty girl in a thin long skirt with the other.

The wife who was parked next to her also got out of the car, deliberately approached Gu Ningyuan, and asked very elegantly: "I didn't expect the new Mr. Sun to have such a great ability to invite Mr. Gu to this banquet." , it's just a pity that there is no female companion."

There was also a little girl beside her, only seventeen or eighteen years old, she was very cute, with a round face, she shrank shyly.

Gu Ningyuan only glanced at it, nodded slightly, and did not speak.

After Gu Ningyuan entered the hotel, the mother and daughter were still walking outside slowly.

The daughter was coquettishly complaining to her mother about what happened just now, "We made an agreement at home, and you came out just to see the world, and you deliberately talked to others. I was quite afraid of that person just now. The weather was already cold, and I felt even more uncomfortable when I saw him. cold."

The lady laughed at her, "I'm just looking for an excuse to talk to Mr. Gu, it's impossible for him to be beside me without even saying hello. What are you thinking?"

The snow gradually fell heavily, the car came, the car stopped, the door of the hotel was closed, and the voices of many people were slowly drowned by the silent snow.

The Sun family came to Donglin half a month ago. The company, location, license, and all kinds of things that need to be managed up and down are all available.This also gave those who had heard the news a deeper understanding of the Sun family.When the Sun family came, they held a banquet before they could gain a firm foothold, and invited everyone from Donglin, big and small, with some prestige.

A banquet was held with great momentum, and there were many guests.

Zhang Jin's eyes were sharp, and she was still chatting with others. When she saw Gu Ningyuan, she walked out of the crowd and went straight to his place.

"Tell me," Zhang Jin took a sip of wine and stood beside Gu Ningyuan, "What is the Sun family going to do?"

His voice was lowered, and only Gu Ningyuan could hear him, "We just started to check the information. The Sun family's head is in the capital, and it's just expanding business here in the east."

"But looking at the current posture," Zhang Jin raised her head, squinted at the bright and almost dazzling chandelier above her head, with a hint of coldness in her expression, "it doesn't seem like the original plan."

If the Sun family wanted to come to Donglin, it would be impossible for them to keep quiet and hide the truth from the original people in Donglin.The Zhang family was no exception, they got the news beforehand, but they didn't care too much.The Sun family came to Donglin, and since they didn't intend to take root, they had nothing to do with their original families.

But once you want to settle down here, it's completely different.Donglin is so big, and it has matured. The local business has been divided up in sevens and eighties. There are too many people who come, and they always have to grab it from the original people.

This is what makes people vigilant.However, the Sun family has made too many big moves recently, which inevitably made Zhang Jin think a little more.

Gu Ningyuan tilted his head, did not take a sip of wine, and only responded, "Indeed."

"The Sun family is different from before. You should be more careful in the company recently."

Indeed, this accident was caused by Gu Ningyuan alone.However, it was impossible for him to tell Zhang Jin. At most, he told him to be careful about the actions of the Sun family recently.Although he had his eye on the Gu family before he was reborn, maybe the situation is different now, the Sun family has changed direction and has his eyes on another family, maybe it will be on the Zhang family.

Suddenly, a greeting came from above, "Mr. Gu."

Gu Ningyuan raised his head slightly, and there was a person standing condescendingly on the second floor of the hotel's spiral staircase. It was the head of the Sun family in the east, and the second young master of the Sun family, Sun Qiwen.

Sun Qiwen saw the two of them, raised his hand and toasted far away.

The glass of cold liquid shone with intoxicating brilliance under the dazzling light, reflecting the decent and arrogant smile on the corner of Sun Qiwen's mouth.

Gu Ningyuan glanced at him indifferently, with a blank expression on his face, and turned around as if bored, without even moving the wine glass.Zhang Jin naturally followed him. The two never disrupted each other in their work since they were young. The wine glasses dangled in their palms, and they walked out with Gu Ningyuan.

Sun Qiwen was completely ignored by the two of them, his eyes suddenly became ferocious, and he hammered the railing hard.

This is only in the east, even though he has been in the capital for so many years, no one has ever treated him like this.It's just that there is a sudden problem with the reliance behind the Sun family. The capital has to withdraw temporarily, and the east they originally chose has become a place to retain their strength.

It's ridiculous.It's just that a businessman in such a place dares to put on a show with him.

Before he could get angry again, a call came on the phone.

Sun Qiwen suppressed his anger and drunkenness, turned around and walked towards the dark place, answered the phone solemnly, and greeted the people inside.

"Big brother."

There was a calm male voice on the other end, he asked, "How is the banquet in Donglin now?"

Sun Qiwen smiled respectfully, "What else can I do? It's alright, it's such a big business, how can the Donglin gang be bad?"

The person whom Sun Qiwen called the eldest brother gave a soft "hmm" as an affirmation.He paused, and then said in a flat tone: "Here in the capital, my father and I have worked hard, but we still can't keep it."

"How could it be, how could it be impossible to keep it?!" Sun Qiwen was so startled that he almost fell down the stairs next to him.

"What are you panicking!" He reprimanded Sun Qiwen, "What else is there! We can't stay in the capital any longer. Before the conclusion is reached and the news has not spread, Donglin must develop well in Donglin. This In a few days, my father and I will discuss a plan before going to Donglin. You stay there first and wait for me to go."

"Got it? Now," the man finally couldn't help sighing, "It's not the same as before, and you have to do something."

Sun Qiwen squeezed his wine glass tightly, answered in a daze, and then hung up the phone.

Not as good as before.

Sun Qiwen chewed this sentence several times back and forth, gnashing his teeth.In the end, I sorted out my expressions, and no longer just stayed on the second floor, but went down to socialize with others.

He used to be very prosperous in the capital, but here, he is famous and wealthy, so it is easy to socialize.After a while, people gathered around Sun Qiwen and became the focus of the banquet.

And Gu Ningyuan and Zhang Jin also noticed the movement over there. Zhang Jin shook his head and asked mockingly: "What's the matter? The second young master of the Sun family came down from upstairs. Looking at the original meaning, don't you think it came from there?" People from Donglin are nobler than people from Donglin, are you not willing to come down?"

Gu Ningyuan narrowed his eyebrows, but his expression was a little careless, "Maybe I just heard that I can't live in the capital, so I came to Donglin to ask for a living?"

"Don't joke," Zhang Jin waved her hand, "Their backer is not very stable."

Gu Ningyuan added another sentence, "Who can tell clearly about political matters?"

The focus of this banquet was always on the Sun family. Not only Sun Qiwen, he also brought his own sister, and several cousins ​​supported the scene, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

And Xiao Mou was also invited. He was well informed and knew the background of the Sun family. Since he couldn't get Gu Ningyuan's support, he wanted to think of other ways.At this time, he was trying his best to bring his wife and children into the Sun family's communication circle.

It's a pity that Dong Lin is richer than him, and more prestigious than him.He was just a poor boy in the past, and he won the Shen family in such a shameful way, and outsiders would not sincerely bring him into the social circle.

So he was obliterated by the vast crowd.It seems that there is no way to get good things here, and seeing Gu Ningyuan who has not seen him for a long time, Xiao Mou plans to talk to Gu Ningyuan again, and there will always be a way to move the dead Qin Shu out.

Unexpectedly, it was Qin Xuan who kept holding his footsteps intentionally or unintentionally, leading him to meet and talk with one after another insignificant people at the banquet.

The party is almost over.

If you have a good discussion with the Sun family, you will save face for the host family, so I will save it here until the end.And people like Gu Ningyuan, who came to hear the latest news from the Sun family, couldn't stay longer at this time.

On such a cold day, he most wanted to go home and be with Gu Ningyuan.

Zhang Jin looked at his appearance and joked, "There is a little love hidden in the family, but it is different from before. He is in a hurry every day, and he doesn't even care about his brothers."

After I finished speaking, I thought of myself again. Although I was lucky, I was still a widow and a single dog. I felt even more sad on such a snowy night.

Gu Ningyuan has no time to pay attention to him.

He walked out, and the driver was already waiting for him in the car.The welcome person handed him an umbrella, Gu Ningyuan opened it and stepped into the snow.

Xiao Mou finally got rid of Qin Xuan, let her take the child behind, and chased Gu Ning away by himself.

Gu Ningyuan stopped in front, and his car was not far away.The car was covered with a layer of snow, and there was a man standing in front of the car. The man looked like a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was holding a red umbrella for children with sunflowers painted on it.

Gu Ningyuan asked that person in a gentle tone he had never seen before, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you were doing your homework at home?"

After taking two steps forward, a voice came from the front, "Is it cold? Let me touch your hand."

Xiao Mou guessed that the other party was probably Gu Ningyuan's adopted younger brother.

That's good, having a child, plus Qin Xuan and Xiao Huan, makes it easier to talk.

The younger brother named Shen Yue adopted by Gu Ningyuan responded, and raised the umbrella slightly, revealing most of his face.

He looks good, even if he can only see half of his face clearly, he can still see the exquisite outline drawn between his eyebrows and eyes.

Xiao Mou almost thought that there was something wrong with his eyes, and he saw an illusion. This person was too familiar, it was the rotten face deep in his memory.

This illusion lasted too long.Shen Yue, he moved, ran a few steps, and rushed to Gu Ningyuan's chest, and the two held an umbrella together.

Xiao Mou can no longer deceive himself.

That was the dead Shen Wan's son.And the person next to him is Gu Ningyuan.

His blood became cold in an instant, as if he was frozen from head to toe, unable to think, only a little calm remained, and he hid behind another car, peeking at Gu Ningyuan and Shen from the rearview mirror. Covenant's every move.

The car drove away.

Xiao Mou lost the strength to endure and restrain, and the umbrella in his hand fell to the ground.
