Chapter 35: Storm

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Because of Wen Yan, the Wen Corporation was no longer so high and mighty in the subsequent cooperation and did not create any difficult problems for the Gu Corporation. And the original necklace test, with the help of the Gu Plaza and the internet platform controlled by the Gu Corporation, initially opened up the market for young people, making people feel that although Ruwen was still high and mighty, it was no longer so old-fashioned.
In the past, Ruwen was a situation where young people felt that they could not afford it, and at the same time, they did not want to buy it. But now it had become a situation where they still could not afford it, but some wanted to buy it. Although in the short term, it did not contribute much to the vitality of the Ruwen brand, it was still a happy situation.
And the Wen family had returned to peace after the incident with Wen Yan. Wen Gui and Wen Xing still loved the only girl in the family as always.
And ever since Gu Enterprise had the addition of Ruwen, the number of high-end customers had obviously increased. It made people sigh that even an old tree could sprout new shoots.
Everything seemed very peaceful and beautiful, without the slightest fluctuation. But in fact, the night before the storm was the most peaceful, but when it came, everything seemed to be in a rush.
Fang Qing had been in the Gu family for almost a month. Other than Xiao Yun and Zhao Mei occasionally picking on her, everything was harmonious. However, what Fang Qing found strange was that the relationship between Xiao Yun and Zhao Mei was not that good, and the two did not come looking for trouble with her anymore. Although it was a little strange, Fang Qing was happy to see this situation. After all, who would not want to have an uncomfortable life?
It was not until one day when Fang Qing worked overtime at the company until very late that she came back. At this time, everyone was usually asleep, but most of the servants had just gone to bed.
When Fang Qing passed by the servants’ room, the door was half-closed, but she could still faintly hear the conversation inside. In her daze, Fang Qing seemed to have heard her own name.
Although eavesdropping on other people’s conversations was not a very honorable thing, which person was not interested in other people’s evaluations? Fang Qing thought that she would hear the good and bad things that the servants had done for her for the past half a month. She did not expect that when she heard this, she would hear a ticking time bomb. Fang Qing could not believe it for a long time.
“Have you heard, Xiao Ru? It seems that Miss Fang is really going to be our young madam.”
“Ha? How can it be so fast? I heard from the people around madam that the two of them are waiting for the three-month period to end before separating, right?”
“That may be the case, but the master is the master after all. What can anyone do when he has already made the decision? Haven’t you seen that Madam hasn’t been getting close to that Zhao Mei recently?”
“You’re right, but Miss Fang seems to be quite nice. At least she’s better than that Zhao Mei, but her background is even worse than mine. I’m worried about how she’ll survive in this circle in the future.”
“Hahaha, you little girl. You even talked about your background. No matter how nice you are, you’re still a maid. Why are you thinking about something you can’t eat?”
…
The next content was the normal fight between the two girls. However, Fang Qing, who was outside the door, was clearly not in the mood to face the long night ahead.
At night, Fang Qing lay on the huge bed and tossed and turned. She thought for a long time but could not understand why Gu Lun would do this. Even if he really liked her as his daughter-in-law, Gu Lun would have to wait for the two of them to agree three months later.
Moreover, Fang Qing did not know how she felt about Gu Cheng right now. However, her rationality told her that even though Fang Qing had developed a good impression of Gu Cheng after countless times of helping and relying on each other, this good impression was definitely not a reason for Fang Qing to give up her freedom.
Those who were familiar with Fang Qing knew her desire for freedom. This was also the important reason why Fang Qing had agreed to meet her grandfather for this three-month appointment. If nothing unexpected happened, she would be drinking her favorite bloody mary at the hell bar overseas after the three-month period ended. As for Gu Cheng, he was just a passing guest in her life.
If she really became the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, she would face endless interpersonal relationships that she was good at but hated.
But now that she knew Gu Lun’s thoughts, the first word that popped up in Fang Qing’s mind was: run.
Although Fang Qing knew that if the Gu family wanted to force her into submission with her own ability, it would be easy for her to escape, what about after that?
In Fang Qing’s eyes, her grandfather was looking forward to this marriage. The Gu family was now the dominant family in the country, and Gu Cheng was a talented man with a successful career. No one could refuse such a family and conditions. If she broke her grandfather’s heart and broke his relationship with his friends for the sake of freedom, then would this freedom still have any meaning?
