Chapter228 A Man of Nature

There's no shortage of hypocrites with straight hearts, and they're both rare presences in this circle.

Su Qinglan agreed, and the two of them found a relatively clean place.

"Taking the liberty of asking, are you Gu Yi Ze's biological mother, or ... are you?" Xi Suzuran's words were straight enough.

Su Qinglan understood the unspoken words, "Real mother, don't believe?"

"I'm afraid you'd have to carry around a birth certificate to make that believable." Silhouette snickered, "You're the fat meat in their mouths now that they won't let go."

Perhaps to some, she is now a golden shimmering cash cow.

Such an analogy was quite apt, Su Qinglan couldn't help but smile, "What about you, you shouldn't have just come to tell me this, right?"

Silhouette Suzuran had a sultry face, and her eyes were full of worldliness and profit, just like those people, except she didn't hide it.

Seeing Su Qinglan directly poking at it, she then responded, "You really don't give a damn about being hypocritical and polite, indeed, like them, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Sure enough.

But at least Silhouette Suzuran had something to say that she appreciated, "All ears."

She vaguely remembered that there was a Xi family in Suizhou, and although the scope of business was only in the entertainment industry, their status could not be underestimated.

If this Xi Suzuran was related to the Xi family, a handful of cooperation might bring her unexpected gains.

Seeing that she didn't resent it, Xi Suzuran also opened the door, "I'm preparing to start my own business, a mentality that I think you can understand in a place like the Gu family."

"How about it, want to consider working with me?"

Su Qinglan froze.

She had thought that Xi Suzlan was trying to take advantage of the Gu family, but she hadn't realized that the purpose was her.

"Sorry, not interested." In the past, she might have wanted one more way out, but now, she didn't have a lot of time, so what was the point of leaving that much of a mess behind.

Such a reply made Xi Suzuran regretful, "I had thought that you and I were both ambitious people, and I've heard about the Shen family, but I didn't think that you'd want to give up this opportunity."

"Miss Xi." Su Qinglan smiled, "Excitement doesn't work with me, if you're sincere in coming to talk about cooperation with me, you shouldn't at least come empty-handed."

She couldn't tell the truth and had to excuse herself away with something else.

Silhouette Suzuran's thick eyebrows raised slightly, "I was also not expecting you to be here, I apologize, so let's just say I was ill-prepared this time."

"But you should have heard of the reputation of the Xi family in this circle, working with me won't make you lose money."

"By the way to make up for my present abruptness, I am willing to offer you another piece of information."

Now for Su Qinglan, Gu Chengfeng's matter has been resolved, she just wants to spend her last time with Xiao Ze, and doesn't want any more trouble.

So, once again, Silhouette Suzuran was met with an unexpected rejection, "I'm not interested."

Her intense interest in Su Qinglan did not wash away, but she just continued to pursue, "This matter is also related to Gu Chengfeng, are you sure you're not interested?"

Gu Chengfeng!

Su Qinglan didn't expect that she would once again hear this name not in a court execution, but in the mouth of Xi Suzuran.

"You better not be deliberately trying to whet my appetite." She wrinkled her nose slightly, her heart sinking once more.

Although Gu Chengfeng's back is constantly small, but the main source of assets should have been found by her, losing the Gu family and reputation, everything in his name should go up in smoke.

Silhouette shrugged, "It's not a secret, I can just tell you."

"That person used to work with the Xi family, also in this circle, but no one knows about it except for the Xi family, and I'm afraid the legal person is also listed under someone else's name."

"This kind of person is very smart, the greater the risk-taking company, the less likely to use himself as a legal person, the prognosis down that one company's earnings should be enough for him to bail himself out and start again."

In that case, all those things she had done were all for nothing.

Su Qinglan's face clouded over, if she gave Gu Chengfeng a chance to catch his breath at this time, what were her efforts for?

"What's the name of the company."

This time Silhouette Suzuran began to sell her story, "If you won't cooperate with me, there's no point for me to tell you, do you still want to investigate him like a detective?"

"Wake up, I've had my eye on this company for a long time, and I'm afraid the only way to suppress them is to squeeze them out of office through open competition."

Listening to her words, Su Qinglan only felt that she was suspicious as a person.

Suddenly, they came to her today, offered to work together on one side, and even had to tell her so much.

Even if she would coincidentally use something else to drag down Gu Chengfeng, even if she was a victim of a dictatorial place like the Gu family, none of this was enough of a reason for Xi Suzuran to invite her.

So proactive, ready for her to jump into a trap?

Suddenly, her phone shook again, and without waiting for her to speak, Silhouette Suzuran had already stood up and shook her phone, "I've added your contact information, so if you don't mind, I'll send this evidence to your cell phone after a while."

Really a woman who thinks out of the box in a thunderous way.

Su Qinglan was still lingering in a wavering state of mind regarding the content of her words, and thoughtfully watched her leave before still passing the friend request.

It's better to err than to let go.

If this matter is true, she does not do this thing, Gu Jinchi want to investigate out will have to waste not a small amount of effort.

...

"Little brother, why do you keep crying your eyes out, can't you stay away from your mom that much?"

Cissy couldn't help but frown at the little brother in front of her who hadn't smiled since she dragged him here.

What a handsome little brother, it's a shame he likes to cling to mom and dad so much.

At those words, Gu Yi Ze's small face instantly gave birth to contempt glancing at her, "I just don't want to stay with you."

"Why?" Sissy asked, fluttering her big eyes, a little bewildered.

"Not wanting to is not wanting to, I'm leaving." Gu Yi Ze coldly put his hands into his pockets and made a gesture to leave.

The little girl's mood, however, suddenly dropped, "The adults are talking about things, you can't bother them now."

"I'm not like you, she needs me." Saying that, Gu Yi Ze suddenly proudly stood up again.

When other kids still had to have their moms and dads with them, he was the one who had to stay with Su Qinglan!

The confused look in Sissy's eyes deepened, "But what can you do if you're so short?"

"I'm a man, I'm meant to protect her!" As soon as he heard the word short, Gu Yize felt as if he had been poked in the sore spot, and his hair exploded.

"But you're too short." Sissy repeated, once again, relentlessly.

Gu Yize's heart felt as if it was going to be zapped, and he couldn't help but raise his voice a few tones in anger, "I'm not short! I'm taller than you!"

At that, Sissy walked up to him and put her hand on her own head, again trying desperately to maintain a smooth ratio to Zee's.

Embarrassingly, it's also just about up to Ze's eyebrows.

Abruptly, Cissy's face showed delight, "I'm almost as good as you, so can you teach me how to protect my mom?"

Gu Yi Ze looked her up and down strangely, "You're a woman, this is a responsibility a man has to have."

"But ... but my daddy doesn't want me and mommy anymore ... " Cissy's eyes reddened as soon as she said it, "I don't want to see mommy get bullied anymore. "

Seeing that the little girl was about to shed a tear, Ze immediately panicked and fumbled to find a tissue from his pocket and shoved it to her, his brow furrowed.

"Well, then, then you'll find your mommy another daddy and another man to protect her!"

Sissy sniffled and clutched the tissue in her hand in a downcast manner, "Mommy says men are all liars and she'll never trust a man again."

"That's a lie, she'll find you a better daddy."

Speaking of which Ozawa didn't want to leave, he'd watched so many soap operas and this bit was right up his alley.

He was usually worried about not having anyone to talk to, so he caught this opening and talked to Sissy at length.

By the time Su Qinglan and Xi Suzuran arrived, Xixi was looking at Xiao Ze with a face of adoration, "Brother Xiao Ze, you're so great, can I listen to you talk about this next time?"

"Sure." Ozawa was talking with a sense of humor, having already categorized Cissy as a little fan girl.

Seeing him like this, Su Qinglan had a bad feeling, "What did you just talk to people about?"

"Secret." The little guy gave a sly grin and turned his head again to hand Sissy a look, "Remember, it's a secret."

"Uh-huh!" Sissy gave a strong nod.

Xi Suzuran only looked at her with a beaming smile, "Since you like Little Ze's brother so much, in the future, if you have time, you should accompany Little Ze more often."

Their voices were not too loud and not too small, just enough to fall into Su Qinglan's ears.

As she watched the mother and daughter leave, the concerns she still had in her mind still couldn't be dispelled.

The woman's appearance was so sudden, as if it had been planned for a long time, she was more like a prey or a target.

"Anni."

She took Ze by the hand and sought out Anian, who had been standing guard, and said thoughtfully, "Go check on that woman and get me the information as soon as possible."

Well coincidentally, she wasn't the type to believe in coincidences.

If she wanted to capitalize on that, she wouldn't let Silhouette get too comfortable.

Xiao Ze's ears were sharp as he took in their words, waiting for An Nian to leave before shaking his hand to attract Su Qinglan's attention.

"Mommy, are you worried that that aunt is a bad woman?"

"Why, it looks like you have something to say." She asked, crouching down.

Ze thought for a moment, "I just heard Cissy talking a lot, she said her mommy got dumped by a bad man."

Now Su Qinglan understood why this kid was chatting so energetically just now.

"Did you take the drama you watched to say something to her again?" Su Qinglan gently pinched the flesh on his face and asked with a raised eyebrow.

Ze smiled sarcastically, still remembering Su Qinglan's rule of not allowing him to watch any more dramas like that, and was tugged to answer vaguely.

"No ... no, how, I was just reassuring her that there are better men out there."

Hearing this Su Qinglan raised her eyebrows slightly, "That would be best."

Kids don't lie much, and if they really can be trusted, maybe also ...
