“The marriage agreement between Yuan Jia and our family was canceled.” Father Cheng said.
“As for you wanting to chase our family Xixi….” Father Cheng looked at Yuan Xu’s eyes that lit up because of his words. “I will not interfere with you youngsters.”
Yuan Xu’s heart settled down. The meaning of Father Cheng’s sentence was that he would not stop him with being with Xixi.
Gu Shengyin was not interested in doing business. Instead, she accepted De Lao‘s invitation to enter the Association of Classical Chinese Culture and Arts. Besides her, the youngest people in that association already had gray hair.
Gu Shengyin was also questioned a lot when she first joined, but when she painted a landscape painting, no one was dissatisfied with her.
Yuan Xu finally got the approval of Cheng Jia after he pursued Gu Shengyin for a year.
The two held a grand engagement ceremony at the largest hotel in Hua City.
Nowadays, Gu Shengyin was very confident and at ease. She took the plane to go abroad to participate in several internation cultural exchange conferences for a year and was very much free on other days. Yuan Xu spoils and pampers her. He always had the “What Xixi wants to do is right” attitude.
That appearance, even the Cheng couple couldn’t stand watching his style of affection towards their daughter. Fortunately, it was during this society. If it was during ancient times, they’re afraid that Xixi would have been called an enchantress.
Gu Shengyin inwardly refuted that from the bottom of her heart: Definitely not! Even if it were during ancient times, Ji Yu was also a wise and benevolent ruler. She was not a beautiful enchantress, but a virtuous Empress, okay?
“Hello, I’m looking for Mr. Yuan.” Gu Shengyin came up to Yuan Corporation’s reception desk with shopping bags.
Today was Mother Yuan’s birthday. She promised Mother Yuan that she would have Yuan Xu accompany her to Yuan Jia after he got off work for dinner.
At the reception desk was a beautiful young woman, but Gu Shengyin didn’t put it in her eyes.
“Excuse me, do you have an appointment?” the receptionist said with a bright smile.
Gu Shengyin shook her head and said: “No, tell your CEO’s secretary that Cheng Xizhi came, and she’ll know.”
The beautiful receptionist had a look of impatience. The Yuan Corporation was a large business. She had come to work here for a few days, and she lost count of how many people would look for an excuse to pull a relationship with the CEO.
“I’m very sorry, Miss. If you didn’t make an appointment, I cannot inform them.” The CEO’s secretary? Such a figure was not someone she could casually touch.
Gu Shengyin naturally saw the disapproval in the receptionist’s eyes. She sighed inwardly, and did not intend to continue bothering her. She turned around and walked towards the rest area. She took out her cell phone to call Yuan Xu.
“I arrived at your company downstairs…En, yes, the new receptionist didn’t know me…okay, bye.” Gu Shengyin hung up the phone to wait for Yuan Xu to send someone to pick her up.
“Miss Cheng!” Gu Shengyin raised her head. It was one of Yuan Corporation’s directors.
“Mr. Zhang.” Gu Shengyin stood and shook his hand.
“How come Miss Cheng didn’t go up?” Director Zhang felt somewhat baffled.
The receptionist saw that the director, who was usually aloof and indifferent, had a very good attitude towards that unfamiliar woman, and personally greeted her. She knew right away that this turn of events was not good. At this moment, she feared that Gu Shengyin would take this opportunity to complain about her. She fought for this job with great difficulty, but she can’t say for sure that she’ll be able to stay.
Gu Shengyin laughed: “I’m a little tired and wanted to rest before going up.”
Director Zhang just smiled. He said that he still had something to do and said a few words before leaving.
The receptionist was preparing to come over to Gu Shengyin to apologize, but saw a man walking towards Gu Shengyin.
