Chapter 333 A False Marriage Agreement

"What are you ... doing here?"

When she saw Gu Jinchi, who had hurriedly arrived, Shirui's face was filled with surprise.

She looked as if she'd just gotten out of the shower, with a towel wrapped around her body, her hair still wet, and her face seemingly freshly steamed pink from the heat.

Gu Jinchi only glanced at her before moving his eyes away, "Sorry, the sudden visit was something I wanted to discuss with you."

Rui Shi nodded, a flash of cunning in the bottom of her eyes, and smiled, "Then wait a moment, I'll go change some clothes."

After changing her clothes and blow drying her hair's, she helped Gu Jin Chi brew a cup of tea, covering her chest and placed it in front of him. Then she said, "I hope you'll be able to express your condolences for Grandpa's matter."

Time Rui showed a few moments of pathos, sighed, and sat down all over again with a grim look on her face.

Her whole body seemed very mournful.

But Gu Jinchi just watched, his heart didn't have any touch, even he didn't have this kind of mentality about his grandfather's death.

It was only the false sentimentality of such things that usually floated to the surface, and he didn't care.

"It's okay, you should know my relationship with him very well." Gu Jinchi looked at the teacup and hesitated for a moment.

Tokaree also had a cat that was lying on her lap at this very moment.

"Although your relationship isn't that good, but that's your grandfather after all, and although grandpa is usually too harsh on you, it's also out of hope that his son will become a dragon, and in fact, grandpa still loves you very much."

Hearing these words from Shirui, Gu Jinchi narrowed his eyes again, "How did you come to this conclusion?"

As far as he could remember from his childhood, he didn't have much interaction with that so-called grandfather, and at most, this grandfather played the image of a strict teacher in his life trajectory.

But Shi Rui now said so, as if she knew quite a lot of inside information, but the three of them had never been together Shi Rui could not have been only to the way Elder Gu got along with him on a daily basis.

Toki Rui smiled, "There are times when I'll go and talk with grandpa, and I'll be able to know quite a bit about what's going on."

"Grandpa knows that you're too high-minded to be in the same boat as those people, so he chooses to watch but not interfere in many things."

"But Grandpa also said that a personality like yours will get you in trouble."

"I'll just tell Grandpa that you have your own ideas and ways of doing things, and that no one has to live a certain way, do they?"

They had a chat for a while, when Rui looked at the time, her eyes suddenly brightened, "It's not early, do you want to stay and have something to eat?"

Gu Jinchi shook his head and also glanced at the time on his watch, "I came here today to ask you, before the old man died, did he explain anything to you?"

To this question, Shirui hesitated for a moment, perhaps not so good to answer, "When Grandpa woke up, I once went to visit him, the bad news happened really suddenly, and Grandpa didn't really explain anything to me."

"But before that, he often said that he wished I could accompany you more and help you solve some problems in the company, but I guess that shouldn't be my job. Ms. Su is the most suitable person."

Saying that, she had shown a look of envy.

Gu Jinchi just watched silently and said nothing.

He thought that in the time that Shirui and Elder Gu had spent together now, the two must have talked about quite a few things. There might be something to be gained by coming here today.

"Did he ever mention anything to you about the inheritance?"

Without politeness, without Zhou Xuan, Gu Jinchi's words were simple and straightforward.

The bluntness surprised Shi Rui a bit, she didn't seem to expect Gu Jinchi to just come and ask her directly like this.

After a moment's hesitation, Shirui sighed slightly, "I don't know what to say about this matter, but Grandpa explained that I should assist you properly, is there something wrong with the inheritance?"

As if asking herself a question, she added, "Although Grandpa has always liked Gu Zhanyan as well, this is only because Gu Zhanyan has always been by his side. In comparison, Gu Zhuyan's abilities are still inferior to yours."

She was consciously trying to instill in Gu Jinchi that Gu Zhuyan was inferior to him.

But for Gu Jinchi, it didn't matter to him who said such verbal words.

"Grandpa really didn't tell you about the distribution of the inheritance?" He really couldn't find a reason why he could make Elder Gu so obsessed with making him marry Shirui.

Shi Rui flattened the corners of her mouth, as if she had a few moments of anger, "There's really no such thing, what am I lying to you for, if grandpa has anything he wants me to explain to you, I'll definitely tell you right away ah."

"You need to stop making me anxious, I really want to know what's going on."

Seeing the sincerity revealed in her gaze, Gu Jinchi stopped pursuing, "You're in the old man's inheritance arrangement, if I don't marry you, I won't be able to get the company's directorship."

Surprised by this news, Shirui didn't come back to her senses for a long time, she covered her mouth, her eyes widened, "What kind of arrangement is this, why did grandpa never tell me about it, it can't be just a joke."

"It's not a joke, it's attested by the lawyer from it, and what he decides, even if he dies, there will be no change."

But if Gu Zhuyan died it could be, but there was a dead end involved. If he couldn't take the power of the Gu family, it would be hard for him to make a move against Gu Zhenyan.

Intentional killing is against the law.

If you want to get to the bottom of all the issues involving Gu Zhuyan, you have to get all the power of the Gu family.

Even if he was a thousand times unwilling, he had to take Toki Rui as his wife.

His fists were clenched in resistance and reluctance, and it showed.

It seemed to take a moment for Tokaree to come back to her senses, "So in that case, wouldn't we need to have a wedding?"

"This matter is what I wanted to come and discuss with you today." Gu Jinchi lowered his eyes and let out a long breath, "You should know what's in my heart, at most we only have the feelings of childhood playmates between us, there's no love."

"And the person I love has always been Su Qinglan, this thing is a fact and won't change."

"I need you to help me ..."

Before he could finish his words, Toki Rui hooked up a smile that had a slight bitterness to it, reaching out and waving her hand, signaling him to stop for the moment, "I know, I know what you want me to do."

"You're just hoping that I'll be able to fake marry you, accompany you through this drama, and then we'll divorce after you get the big power of Gu's consortium, right?"

Talking to smart people always didn't take much effort, and seeing that she was able to understand, Gu Jinchi didn't bother to explain more.

"Yes, it would be good for you and me to take that right."

"Sooner or later, Gu Zhanyan will know the specific requirements for transferring the inheritance that the old master left behind, and with his character, it may not be a good thing for you."

One of the greatest traits of Gu Zhuyan's character was that if he couldn't solve things, then he would solve people.

This matter was on Su Qinglan's body last year, he had already learned enough lessons, this matter should not involve an outsider again.

It was imperative that marrying Toki Rui was the most convenient for him. It is also the most convenient choice for Tokorui's safety.

"I thought it was something serious, why are you talking so seriously." Shi Rui pretended to be relaxed and flirted, but she did not hide the color of pain that flowed out from the bottom of her eyes.

"Don't worry, if it's you, I'll definitely help you with this favor, and if you need it, I can also go and explain clearly to Miss Su that this is just a marriage for show. It won't have any effect on your relationship."

Her bright eyes glittered with promise, and her eyes seemed to be infinitely yearning, except that part of the emotion flowed out a bit deliberately.

She propped her head up, her eyes emptying as she stared at Gu Jinchi, "If I hadn't left the country, wouldn't the situation not be like this now?"

"When I met you when I was little, I had a very stupid idea that this brother was so handsome. I must marry him when I grow up, I didn't realize that this brother had already gotten married and had children before me when I grew up."

"More than that, I didn't expect this brother to come back to me with such outrageous demands."

In such words, Gu Jinchi had no way to retort, for an unmarried girl, such topics might do things a bit too much.

But the more this happened, the more he was able to realize the helplessness Su Qinglan felt when she was with him at that time.

When Su Qinglan was with him, she was only about the same age as Shirui. But gave him Xiao Ze.

Originally, with this incident, she owed her her whole life, but after so many years, he still kept on doing things to hurt her, and at this point, he had already done too much wrong.

At least this time, he couldn't continue to be wrong.

Seeing that he didn't react to her words, Toki Rui sniffled and got up to fetch a bottle of red wine.

She opened the wine and the crimson liquid was poured into two glasses, "Who let me still like you as a brother when I was a child, with that affection I will definitely help you."

"There's no need to take blood oaths, just drink, your relationship is really enviable."

"Envious?" Gu Jinchi snorted lightly with some mockery.

"The reason you have this misconception is because we've never been together, but after a while, it will make this relationship worthy of everyone's envy."

These words made Toki Rui even hold the bottle a little unsteadily, and he winced and took a sip of wine in an extremely unnatural position.

It's a vulnerability that every man knows how to display.

But Gu Jinchi just looked on without saying anything.

Shi Rui swallowed the red wine in her mouth and faked a smile, "It's not like you've ever told me, and we've never been together, so how much more do you expect me to know about you?"

"Anyway, it's so late in the day, you shouldn't have anything to do back there. I wonder if you can tell me your love story properly on the premise that I did you this favor."
