Chapter 740
He turned around to escape the room.
“Stop there.”
The woman’s short words stopped him in his tracks.
Gu nanzhi’s back was facing her, the panic on her face nowhere to be hidden.
Ning Qing stared at his back. you just said that you’re betting on your position in the Gu family.
“I didn’t say anything. You heard me wrong.” Gu nanzhi interrupted.
Ning Qing didn’t believe her at all. Gu nanzhi, you’d better tell me the truth.
The man’s back stiffened.
Her nerves tensed up. did you exchange your position in the Gu family for this competition with those people? ”
Gu nanzhi could tell that her voice was trembling.
He was so nervous that he held the pen in his hand and firmly denied it.
“Tell me the truth!”
“No!”
The footsteps behind him were hurried, and then he was pulled by a strong force. He turned around, and his collar was tightly held by the woman.
Ning Qing’s face was red with anger, and so were her eyes.
“How could you do this!”
She knew about his past, about the hardships and pain that he and his mother had gone through. She knew that he had been treading on thin ice in the Gu family for so many years, so she understood how much he wanted the Gu family to pay the price!
However, in order to protect her, he had used himself as collateral!
If she lost, what would he be in the Gu family?
How could this be?
He couldn’t do this!
She did not want him to sacrifice so much for her!
Ning Qing’s nose soured and she roared,”Gu Nanzheng, why did you do this?” I’m just an ordinary person, I can find another job if I lose it, but you’re Yingluo!”
She choked on her words and couldn’t continue.
Seeing her like this, the last bit of pressure in Gu nanzhi’s heart disappeared.
He used to be afraid of being expelled by the Gu family, but now he was as relaxed as he was.
He was just a man, how could he care so much?
He just wanted to protect the career that she had always pursued and loved.
The man’s eyes were soft and gentle.
“If you want to talk, then talk. Why are you crying?”
“......”
He raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.
Only then did ning Qing realize that she had cried, but she didn’t care. She grabbed his collar tightly. no, go back and tell those HE people that I don’t need your guarantee!
Gu nanzhi laughed. how can you go back on your word so easily? ”
Ning Qing gritted her teeth. but aren’t you worried that I’ll lose? If I lose, what will you do?”
Her heart ached, and she couldn’t control her tears.
The man smiled tenderly and sighed. it’s enough to see you cry for me once.
She was stunned and her heart ached so much that she couldn’t speak.
Gu nanzhi’s eyes were also filled with tears, but he held them back.
Ning, to be honest, I’ve been very unhappy in the Gu family all these years, ” he said softly. I’m really tired when I think of my mother, my dissolute father, and my scheming relatives. If it wasn’t for my mother’s death supporting me, I would have given up long ago.
“......”
He had experienced the darkest and most painful times, so he cherished the good times in front of him even more.
so what if I lose? it might Just Give Me a Reason to stay away from that home that is nothing.
Ning Qing’s lips opened and closed, and her teary eyes reflected his weak and tired appearance.
Gu nanzhi could not bear to see her cry. She smiled. I’ve never been afraid. You don’t have to be afraid.
“......”
He didn’t want the atmosphere to be too heavy, so he winked at her playfully. and in my heart, you are the best jewelry designer. I don’t think you will lose.
