Chapter 2 : Can You Help Me Find Someone

• Meanwhile--
• "You've been staring at this bracelet for half an hour. Is there any special meaning behind it?" Gong Jie couldn't stand watching his friend daydreaming anymore and finally spoke up.
• Qin Yanzheng withdrew his gaze and glanced at Gong Jie coldly. He lightly parted his thin lips and said, "Go help me find someone..."
• Finally, the day of the wedding arrived.
• The sound of the ancient wall clock ticked in the empty room, each beat striking Gu Nian's heart.
• Dressed in a pure white wedding gown, Gu Nian sat on the wedding bed. The gown covered the entire bed, but it couldn't hide the fatigue on her face, even with her delicate makeup.
• Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open--
• The loud bang brought Gu Nian's full attention back, and at the same time, her shoulders trembled slightly.
• As the man approached, a strong smell of alcohol filled Gu Nian's lungs, causing her to cough. She looked up at the man who had entered the room.
• He had a face so handsome that it could take one's breath away. His deep and refined features were sharp, with sword-like eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and thin lips that curved into a cold mocking smile.
• Yes, this was Gu Huan's new husband, Qin Yanzheng, the fourth young master of the Qin family!
• He was also the groom who had been absent from the wedding today!
• Qin Yanzheng noticed Gu Nian staring at him and didn't dare to say a word. He sneered, "What's wrong? My Mrs. Qin, why aren't you speaking?"
• Gu Nian furrowed her brows.
• It was obvious that confronting Qin Yanzheng directly was not a wise move.
• "If you don't like it, I can go somewhere else--" Gu Nian was about to lift her skirt and get off the bed when Qin Yanzheng approached her and pushed her back.
• "Mmm--" Soon, Gu Nian was pinned down by Qin Yanzheng. He raised his large hand and tore apart her delicate wedding gown.
• "Gu Huan, you've put in so much effort to marry me, haven't you?" With the man's words, Gu Nian's wedding gown was already torn beyond recognition.
• Gu Nian felt pain and tightly furrowed her brows.
• "I'm not--"
• "Gu Huan, just remember one thing: this marriage can end at any time. It's best for you to be sensible!"
• After Qin Yanzheng finished speaking, he left.
• The immense pressure suddenly lifted, allowing Gu Nian to breathe again.
• Qin Yanzheng left the room directly, without any intention of staying longer.
• Supporting herself with her arms, Gu Nian sat up and watched Qin Yanzheng's retreating figure. There was only one thought in her mind: this man was too terrifying!
• On their first night as a married couple, Gu Nian was left alone in an empty room.
• ...
• The next day.
• The sound of her phone ringing woke Gu Nian up.
• She answered, and it was her father, Gu Jianfeng, on the other end of the line.
• "Gu Nian, you've done well. Thanks to you, the Qin family has injected capital into the Gu family, and our company is saved!" Gu Jianfeng couldn't hide his joy in his words.
• Gu Nian didn't need to think to know that he must be extremely proud at this moment.
• As the in-laws of the most prestigious family in Kyoto, Gu Jianfeng would definitely boast about it wherever he went.
• Gu Nian remained silent, and Gu Jianfeng wasn't annoyed. He continued, "If you have time today, come back with Yanzheng and have dinner together. It's also a good opportunity for Yanzheng to meet the rest of the Gu family."
• Normally, the newlyweds would return to the bride's family on the second day. That's why Gu Jianfeng made this phone call.
• He wasn't foolish. Having attached himself to such a money tree, he naturally wanted to hold onto its golden thigh tightly!
• "Alright, it's settled then. I'll have the servants prepare dinner tonight. You two come over early." Gu Jianfeng hung up the phone eagerly, without the slightest concern for how the woman on the other end of the line felt.
• After hanging up, Gu Nian chuckled self-mockingly.
• Out of the three sentences Gu Jianfeng said to her, not one of them showed any concern for her.
• He only cared about his company and his own interests from beginning to end!
• Gu Nian glanced at the empty bed beside her and felt an unusual surge of emotions in her heart.
