As soon as the glass door of the terrace was closed, the night breeze blew in my face.
I leaned on the railing and took a deep breath.
Actually there is nothing to be angry about. I knew about the affair between Jiang Chen and Gu Yurou three months ago. At that time, I wasn't able to fully control this "golden finger". I could only intermittently see some fragmented words coming out of the heads of people around me, most of which were gibberish that I didn't take seriously at the time. It wasn't until one day when I saw with my own eyes the words "Yu Rou has been mentioning things about the Huo family in her ears lately" above Jiang Chen's head and the line "When he breaks off the engagement, I don't think she will have the nerve to stay in the Gu family" above Gu Yurou's head, that I finally confirmed that the two of them had been connected for a long time.
It was just a matter of confirmation, but when it came to the moment when the engagement was called off in public, the humiliating feeling of being forcibly pulled off the clouds and thrown into the mud still made my fingertips feel a little cold.
Just as I was staring at the water in the fountain, I heard footsteps behind me. Calmly and rhythmically, the leather shoes grinding against the marble floor were like beating some kind of low drumbeat.
I was about to turn around when a shadow pressed against my side. The man was tall and tall, wearing a dark gray suit without a tie, and one button of his shirt was loosely open at the collar. The entire face was clear-cut in the night, the jawline was as sharp as if it had been carved with a knife, and the eyes were dark, as if they could penetrate all disguises when looking at people.
I recognized him. Huo Hanzhou, the president of Huo Group, has spent five years reaching the top of the pyramid in the Beijing business district. The only impression I have of him is a complaint made by Father Gu one time when he was drunk: "That guy named Huo is young and has a heart as hard as a knife. Doing business with him is like giving your neck to him to chop."
