hard to let go

Chapter 34

After Gao Ziqun finished speaking, he walked into the yard, where Gao Xixi was talking with Qin Xiaoyun.Only then did Qin Xiaoyun know that Leng Xi took her out to play in the afternoon, and her brows frowned. Leng Xi was really stupid, why did he and Gao Ziqun carry it together?

"Xixi, let's go." Gao Ziqun said in a deep voice.

Qin Xiaoyun felt uncomfortable every time she saw him, she froze there silently.

Gao Xixi has been watching people's faces since she was a child. She knows that his father is not in a good mood now, so naturally she will not sing against him. "Grandma, I'll come over to eat with you next time."

Qin Xiaoyun nodded towards her head, and she reluctantly twitched the corners of her mouth, "Okay, next time grandma will cook something delicious for you."

Gao Ziqun led Gao Xixi to the courtyard gate, and Leng Xi walked towards him. When the three of them gathered, Gao Ziqun stopped, and Gao Xixi raised his face, "Mom, I am very happy today. Next time we go with Dad, Daddy won't be angry."

Leng Xi touched the corners of her mouth lightly, "Okay." She rubbed the top of Xixi's hair, "Be careful on the road." I don't know who to say this sentence to.

After the father and daughter, the Leng family courtyard fell silent.Leng Liang didn't know when he was already standing at the door of the living room with a cane on his back, looking forward with heavy eyes.

Qin Xiaoyun sighed, "Xiaoxi, don't keep fighting against him. After all, it's not good for you, and Xixi will feel bad too."

Leng Xi bent his lips, "I know. Mom, don't worry, it's okay. I just forgot to tell him today."

Qin Xiaoyun didn't say anything more.How could she not understand her daughter?

When Gao Xixi went back that night, she had a fever of 39 degrees, and the little girl was moaning uncomfortably.Gao Ziqun called the family doctor, who prescribed antipyretics.

Gao Ziqun did not pretend to be human, and personally fed Xixi and took antipyretics.Throughout the night, his face was dull and his eyes were clouded with shadows.The child took the medicine and drank half a cup of hot water, and gradually began to sweat. Gao Ziqun sat on the edge of the bed and gently wiped the sweat off Xixi's face.

In the middle of the night, Xixi's fever finally subsided.Gao Ziqun returned to the study with a gloomy face. He lit a cigarette and puffed on.When Leng Xi was pregnant, he quit smoking. For so many years, except for occasional entertainment, he hardly touched her anymore.

After a while, the study room was filled with smoke.Gao Ziqun frowned, and waited until the smoke was gone before he picked up the phone, "Sun Cheng, why didn't you choose gambling in the end of this bidding?"

Sun Cheng was slightly taken aback, he thought for a while, "Mr. Gao, you entrusted the responsibility of this project to the Propaganda Department. I'll ask now."

Gao Ziqun responded.

After Sun Cheng understood the whole thing, he couldn't help but pat his head.He was so careless, how could he forget about it.Every time Mr. Gao meets Ms. Leng, he will not play his cards according to common sense.The news from the Propaganda Department was that they had received news that the gaming company was already deeply in debt, so they would naturally not choose to cooperate with the gaming company.

Sun Cheng quickly reported the matter to Gao Ziqun, and the silence on the other side gave him a chill.

Gao Ziqun frowned, "The Propaganda Department decides as it pleases."

Sun Cheng took a deep breath, "I see."

Leng Xi went to the company the next day, and everyone was still the same.Yesterday's unhappiness didn't seem to happen.Not long after she returned to the cubicle and sat down, she heard commotion in the office.

Leng Xi didn't pay much attention to it at first, but gradually his colleagues' voices became louder and louder.

"It turns out that the boss of Zhongzheng has an illegitimate daughter."

"Journalists are really good now."

"Ah, isn't this—Lengxi?"

Leng Xi froze for an instant, the blood all over her body was flowing backwards, she stood up abruptly, touched the glass on the table with a flick of her hand, there was a crisp "bang", the water glass fell to the ground, and shattered into pieces all over the floor.

She walked over in a hurry, and everyone couldn't help but fell silent when they heard the sound, and the air flow became hurried in an instant.

Leng Xi walked over step by step, and her gaze fell on the magazine in a daze. It was a local weekly magazine that covered everything from humanities, health, entertainment, and finance.

"Can you show me?" Leng Xi said with difficulty, her throat seemed to be choked by something.

Those female colleagues looked at me and I looked at you, their faces were slightly stiff, "It's all for entertainment and gossip."

"Yes, yes—" everyone laughed.

The corners of Leng Xi's mouth were stiff, and her face was extremely ugly. She slowly stretched out her hand, and her colleague twitched dryly, and handed her the magazine, "I'm just going to the boss's office, you can read it."

Leng Xi took the magazine, and the paper, which was obviously very light, became heavy in an instant.A row of titles on the magazine stood out prominently.Looking at the line of words, Leng Xi felt his eyes flicker.

She froze to see that page, two full sheets.She had to admire the reporter's imagination, and vividly described her role, Gao Ziqun's pampered mistress.

Heh - the corner of Leng Xi's mouth tugged slightly, revealing a mocking and helpless smile.She was pinching the magazine tightly, the paper had been crumpled by her.

The fire could not be contained, and finally this day came.She closed her eyes, hiding the sorrowful pain in the corners of her eyes.

There was also a photo of Xixi's sports meeting in the magazine. It was a photo of them participating in a three-person, two-legged game. The angle was very good. Xixi couldn't see her face clearly with her head down, but his and her faces were clearly photographed.

Gao Ziqun stared at her with no emotion in his eyes.But there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. From outsiders' perspective, this was the joy of the mistress who had been waiting silently for finally showing her face.

The phone vibrated, and she persisted, but she had no energy at all to find out who it was.

Since the reporter sent out this photo, she must be able to find out her identity.So where is the school?She rushed to the outside of the city in a hurry, and sure enough, a lot of vehicles had gathered at the gate of the school.

Looking at this situation, Leng Xi felt more and more sad.She looked at the time, and it was not yet time for school to leave at noon.She could hardly imagine what it would be like if the reporter saw Xixi at the moment after school.After thinking about it, she finally called Chen Xi and asked Chen Xi to contact the school.

In fact, Xu Chenxi also saw the news. The Internet is faster than anything these days, and she kept calling Leng Xi, but no one answered.

"Lengxi, don't go to the school, Xixi didn't go to school today." Xu Chenxi said anxiously, "I just asked, Gao Ziqun has been blocked by someone."

Leng Xi took a deep breath, "What's the use of blocking the news? In the eyes of the world, I'm just a mistress." She sneered.

Hearing her sad voice, Xu Chenxi's heart skipped a beat, "Xiaoxi, you know he's not married, you're not." She bit the corner of her lips, "Don't let the reporter see you now—"

Leng Xi looked at the school gate in a daze, without saying anything, she silently hung up the phone.Since Xixi didn't come to school, she should leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

It's just that she misjudged the reporter's ability. What kind of food do those people eat, and they don't have any insight, how could they do this job.

When a reporter saw her, he hurriedly ran over. Leng Xi lowered his head and walked quickly.

"Wait a minute—" the cameras turned to her one after another.The flashing lights flickered for a moment, Leng Xi only felt a burning pain in front of his eyes.The scene was extremely chaotic in an instant, Leng Xi was surrounded by various voices.

"May I ask what is your relationship with Mr. Zhongzheng Gao?"

"Is your daughter studying in a foreign primary school?"

"Is there anything you want to say about the magazine report?"

Leng Xi remained silent, she raised her hand to cover her face.From time to time someone bumped into her, she frowned and continued walking.Reporters from all over the world flocked here, seemingly trying to grab the headlines.

Leng Xi was bumped by people from time to time, at this moment she suddenly thought that it was really not easy for those entertainment stars.Fortunately, Xixi didn't come today, it seems that Gao Ziqun received the news in advance.

Yes, he has always been nervous about his daughter.

"Can you say a word or two?" A reporter from an unknown company suddenly stopped in front of her.

Leng Xi settled down, and placed the miniature microphone in front of her mouth.She took a deep breath, raised her hand and waved towards the microphone again.Everyone was stunned.

She walked on.A lot of onlookers have already stopped around.

No one knew who pulled her from behind, Leng Xi's body instantly fell straight to the ground, and she fell to the ground with a fiery pain in her knees.She knelt on the ground in embarrassment, and was just about to stand up when she realized that there was a sharp pain in her right ankle.

The surroundings were in chaos, and Leng Xi propped herself on the ground with one hand. She was so numb that she couldn't find words to describe her feelings at this moment. If there was any, all that was left was hatred, a steady stream of hatred towards Gao Ziqun.

After a while, the school's security guards began to mobilize.

Sun Cheng and Chu Hang rushed over almost at the same time.The two looked at each other.Sun Cheng had investigated Chu Hang a few years ago, so he naturally knew him.He said to the people beside him, "You take Miss Leng into the car, and I'll go to appease the reporter."

Chu Hang strode to Leng Xi's side, he stretched out his arms to hug Leng Xi, "Where did you get hurt?" He suppressed his anger.

Leng Xi pressed her face to his clothes, and there was a faint fragrance on his body, which inexplicably calmed people down at this moment. "Chuhang—" she murmured his name.Many years ago, when she was feeling uncomfortable, she would call his name like this, but there was never an answer.

"I'm—" Chu Hang replied hoarsely. "I'll take you away."

The reporter still held up the camera and took pictures frantically.

Chu Hang took a deep breath, his eyes were as dark as the deep sea.

When the reporters saw Zhongzheng's people coming, many of them had already switched to the camera, "May I ask Mr. Gao what's your opinion on the report?"

"Is it all as it is written in the magazine?"

Reporters ran over with endless questions.Sun Cheng said with a solemn face, "Everyone, the group will explain to everyone about the matter in the report later."

Chu Hang picked up Leng Xi and got into the car under the cover of security.Leng Xi shrank, her hair was disheveled, and her face was pale and bloodless.

Chu Hang opened a bottle of water and handed it to her, "Don't worry. These photos won't be released tomorrow."

Leng Xi didn't say a word, there was nothing but emptiness in her eyes, she no longer cared about these things, even if it leaked out, so what, she knew what she needed to know.She just hates it!
