Before the marriage, I also broke into the scene of his social death when he was rejected by Bai Yueguang? What's even worse is that he got caught! The contract marriage is on fire. It was finalized quickly: one year later, he would inherit the Qianyi Group, and I would take the money and leave in a hurry. I wanted to be a good tool, but I fell into trouble step by step due to his inadvertent tenderness. When the deadline was approaching, I was ready to wave my sleeves and not take away a piece of the cloud... But he locked me in his arms and said in a hoarse voice: "The agreement is void. The money is yours, the people are mine. "Mr. Gu, please call me Mrs. Gu" The other book is about marriage first and then love, plus ten years of secret love.
