Liang Han only called Xi Cheng when he arrived at Xi Corporation’s headquarters, but Xi Cheng said that he was at ‘Vision ofEternity instead.

“Why are you at ‘ Vision ofEternity in the middle of the day? The bar isn’t even open during daytime!” Liang Han complained as he restarted the car.

Xi Cheng avoided the question. “Just come over. There’s something I need your help with.”

Gu Man burrowed into Xi Cheng’s arms when he put down his phone. “Xi Cheng, you’re the best. I love you to bits!” She cupped Xi Cheng’s face and kissed him fiercely.

Xi Cheng finally freed himself from Gu Man’s overwhelming kisses and stated, “Alright, enough! You have to behave yourself later when Liang Han comes.

Don’t let him see through you. The guys… It won’t be good for your takeover of

‘ Vision ofEternity in the future if they find out about us.”

Gu Man pouted and shifted down to his side, resentfully mumbling, “They’re so nosy. It’s none of their business who you’re with, and they don’t seem to like Lin Yu that much in the first place! We love each other and are perfectly happy together. If they were true friends, shouldn’t they be happy for you?”

Xi Cheng frowned slightly. “Stop disparaging Lin Yu if you want to be with me. I’m helping you secure ‘Vision ofEternity because I want you to have a place to settle down and something to rely on in the future. I know the Gu family doesn’t treat you well.”

Gu Man’s eyes reddened as she murmured, “Xi Cheng…”

Xi Cheng gently patted her hand and didn’t say anything else. Gu Man hugged his waist, buried her face in his chest, and silently cried. She was from an insignificant branch of the Gu family, and it was only thanks to her having caught Aunt Chang Hui’s eye that she got raised by her side and had as noble a status as her cousins. Even if she knew she would only be a marriage alliance tool in the future, Gu Man was happy to do so because that was how a daughter of the Gu family should be.

She would naturally be able to marry better by staying by Aunt Chang Hui’s side. Therefore, Gu Man treated Aunt Chang Hui and her cousins like they were her closest kin and rarely contacted her birth family.

She fell in love with Xi Cheng at first sight, but Xi Cheng had Lin Yu. She lost badly just in terms of origin. However, Aunt Chang Hui said whether a woman could marry a man worthy of marriage depended on their ability to fight for it themselves. As for whether that man had a wife or not, that wasn’t within the scope of consideration at all.

Thus, Gu Man had the confidence to fight for her own happiness. She coaxed Han Yuan into acknowledging her as her goddaughter, and even Lin Yu got trampled underfoot. However, Gu Man didn’t expect to be set up by Lin Yu in the end and lose Han Yuan’s favor. Aunt Chang Hui found her a disgrace and kicked her out.

Gu Man thought that she and Shi Gao were each other’s best friends, but she did not expect the woman to mercilessly conspire against her and turn her into a woman of the night. Gu Man wouldn’t even have this chance to be bait if Xi Cheng hadn’t been one of their targets.

Gu Man calmed herself down and was already all smiles when she looked up at Xi Cheng. “Xi Cheng, your word is enough for me to die happy. Don’t worry, I won’t fight with Lin Yu; she has her position as the Xi family’s young madam while I have your heart, and that’s enough for me. Xi Cheng, you’ve done so much for me. I’ll surely repay you in this life and my next.”

Xi Cheng kissed Gu Man’s lips in satisfaction. ‘I like women who are sweet, obedient, and sensible.’ He felt a pang in his heart when the thought flashed through his mind. ‘I lost the sweetest, most obedient, and sensible woman in my life.’

Gu Man leaned into Xi Cheng’s embrace and smiled as she stared unfocused, thinking, ‘ The only one you should rely on in life is yourself. Family? Friends? That’s all rubbish. I’ll definitely seize the opportunity before me, and once I have a firm footing, I’ll settle the score with those who owe me/

Liang Han frowned and asked as soon as he entered and saw Xi Cheng, “Why aren’t you at work?”

Xi Cheng looked at Liang Han in confusion. “What do you need from me? And what does it matter if I’m at work or not? It’s not like I need to watch over the company from nine to five!”

Liang Han spluttered. He glanced at Gu Man, who was sitting quietly at the side, and in the end, swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue and said through gritted teeth, “You should pay more attention to the company, or the Xi Corporation might be gutted!”

Xi Cheng grinned. “What’s gotten you in such a foul mood, cursing the Xi Corporation out of the blue like this? Relax, no one can gut the Xi Corporation with me around!”

Liang Han inwardly sighed, ‘No wonder Shi Nian is so troubled, and Ye Kun didn’t want to bother with the Xi familrs matters. Since when did Xi Cheng become so headstrong? Or was it that T ve been looking at my buddy through rose- tinted glasses before?

‘ What now? It’s obvious that Xi Cheng won’t believe us even if we tell him

everything.. ‘
