Chapter 152 Split Personality 17
Chapter 152 Split Personality 17
Just as Qiuqiu was about to approach, Gu Xun took Qinqin in his arms, and Qiqi also pushed Qinqin's stroller over, reacting quickly and cleverly.
A sarcastic voice rang out from the side: "The next generation heir of the Desi family is already married and having children, and Xinni is still thinking about how to defeat you. It seems she is worrying too much. Tsk tsk, the man she found is not that good either. Look at the men your Desi family found. Either they died early or they abandoned their wives and children without any care. Tsk tsk..."
This refers to Qu Huai and Qu Wei. This was said by Gloria June, a Xinni supporter whose family background was slightly inferior to the Desi family. She had no direct grudge against Su Su, but she had pursued Yali. Although Yali frequently changed his bedmates, he always claimed that his true love was Su Su. This inexplicable feud was thus formed.
After saying that, she looked Gu Xun up and down with contempt. If it weren't for the strong sexual interest in her eyes, Qiuqiu would have believed her.
"Gloria, long time no see. It's a pity that I don't have any garlic here." This is what Qiuqiu found in Su Su's memory when he was young and was severely bullied by Gloria. Su Su won the battle with Chinese garlic.
Then he whispered in her ear: "I don't care if you're not afraid of STDs and you're still thinking about Alex, but the man behind you is my man. If you stretch your claws where they shouldn't be, be careful or I'll chop them off."
After saying that, he made a gesture of wiping her ears and blew a breath of cold air at the same time, which frightened Gloria and made her shiver.
The party lasted less than an hour, and the piano next to them had only played a few songs when a handsome and nice-looking man came over to chat with them.
Others found their own entertainment, and Qiuqiu was truly eye-opening. There were relatively peaceful activities like table tennis, volleyball, and basketball, as well as slightly more intense ones like fencing, wrestling, and taekwondo. Even more incredible was that a few of Qu Huai's friends actually went to the shooting range and started a real-life target shooting competition. All I can say is that the international friends were having a blast.
After a while, Qinqin fell asleep in Gu Xun's arms. Gu Xun said hello to Qiuqiu who was chatting with his friends, and instead of going to the temporary lounge, he carried Qinqin to the bedroom on the second floor of the villa where they had been living.
He instructed the maid to contact him urgently as soon as his daughter woke up and cried. In a blink of an eye, he saw Qu Wei following him in. "You go and play. I'm a little tired. It's a good time for me to take a break and keep an eye on Qinqin." Gu Xun knew that his mother-in-law had followed him because she saw him leaving.
Qu Wei: It's really tiring. She has no plans to remarry, and now four people are trying to find her a partner. Hey, everyone seems to know she's been hurt, and it seems like she can't let go if she doesn't remarry.
Gu Xun did not refuse. He turned around and came out. He saw Uncle Zhu, who was going to the airport to pick someone up, leaning against the door and smoking. When he saw Gu Xun coming out, he quickly put out his cigarette butt and said, "I smell like cigarettes. Let me get rid of the smell at the door before going to see the little princess."
Gu Xun didn't stay here for more than ten days in vain. Uncle Zhu was the youngest son of Mrs. Desi's deputy, five years younger than Qu Wei. When Qu Wei got married, he had just come of age. At that time, when he learned that his gentle sister was going to get married and settle abroad, he impulsively confessed his love and made many threats, but no one took it seriously. After all, there was an age gap, and they had been childhood sweethearts for many years without any signs of romance. Now that Qu Wei was getting married, he made a fuss. Everyone thought he was just a younger brother who was reluctant to see his sister get married.
Over twenty years had passed, and Qu Wei had married, had children, and divorced. Uncle Zhu, now over forty, had never married, and there was no word of him having a steady relationship. Now, whenever Qu Wei returned to the old house, he would show up at random times, his intentions obvious to everyone.
Gu Xun walked towards where the ball was, and just then he met four people on the road, three men and one woman, led by the legendary Ali. In fact, it was difficult for Gu Xun to take these people seriously, but he understood very well the principle of living in the present. His past life was very boring, and he had never been exposed to such low-level intrigue. Sometimes it was still very novel to play with it. In addition, due to the limitations of this body, many emotions and thoughts were affected.
So he followed this rule and found a way to deal with it. He could easily see that this Ali didn't have any love for the original Su Su, but rather possessiveness and reluctance.
Ali: "Hello, I'm Ali Sterling, Su Su's childhood sweetheart. It's a pleasure to meet you here." Ali greeted and shook hands with Gu Xun very gentlemanly.
Gu Xun: "Hello, I'm Gu Xun, Su Su's husband." Gu Xun relaxed his mental pressure a little. Alex was the heir carefully cultivated by the Sterling family. Although no one knew what his purpose was in maintaining his infatuated persona, he was scheming and had no shortage of forces behind him.
Gu Xun was a quiet businessman in China, spending money to occupy a little gray area. This was also determined by China's national conditions, where weapons were strictly controlled.
However, under the United Nations system, local states and large family chaebols hold considerable power, each possessing its own independent armed forces. The Desi family's armed forces are currently controlled by Mrs. Desi, with Qiuqiu as the next in line. As for the Qu family, they also have their own independent armed forces, controlled by their uncle, Governor Qu Xun. They certainly can't compare to the millennia-old Desi family, which boasts its own independent research labs and arsenals. This is why Desi currently ranks higher than the major powers.
From their brief encounter, Ali sensed that Su Su's husband was far more formidable than his father, a mere figurehead. Su Su was destined to be the next head of the Desi family. He couldn't marry Su Su and merge with the Desi family, so he had to befriend her now, or at least not offend her.
Therefore, a true heir would not be so foolish as to offend everyone. The Dexi family passed the throne to daughters, not sons. Su Su's daughter was the next generation heir. Gu Xun was a man who could influence two generations of Dexi family heads, and he himself had a very strong aura.
Yali then introduced Gu Xun to three people around him. They were all first-in-line heirs to a certain family, meaning they were on par with Qiuqiu in status. The two parties were chatting harmoniously on the surface when the only woman among the four asked, "I heard that Su Su pursued you for four years before she finally got you. That's great! We didn't expect that proud little princess to lower herself to pursue a man. There's a big gap in aesthetic standards between the East and the West. I don't think you're so handsome that it would infuriate anyone."
After saying this, he glanced at Yali standing beside him, implying that Yali was not as good-looking as him. Of course, there was some implication of praising Yali.
Gu Xun: "Su Su didn't pursue me, but we did know each other for four years before we got married."
It depends on how they understand it. Gu Xun was telling the truth. Since graduating from high school, Su Su came to see her online friend Gu Hao and lived in his apartment.
