Chapter 3: Chapter 3: She Will Come Back
At that moment, Assistant Meng's voice came from behind, "I heard that Miss Gu's father's Martial Arts Hall and her family residence are about to be forcibly demolished by Dongxing Group... I also heard that Miss Gu has deep feelings for the old house and the Martial Arts Hall."
Gu Xia stopped in her tracks, her expression changing ever so slightly...
"President Yu said that if Miss Gu signs the document, then he will help you keep everything you want to keep."
After five seconds, Gu Xia cracked a tiny smile and turned her head...
"No need, thank you for your President Yu's offer. Please tell him for me to take his medicine if he's sick, rest well, and to stop troubling others."
Even though Assistant Meng's last words struck Gu Xia where it hurt, she still remained unmoved, gracefully abandoning the grand prize and turning around.
She didn't stop until she had made her way out, where crowds of women at the door hadn't yet dispersed, and they seemed to still be discussing something.
"Is it true... I heard the person who won the lottery will marry Mr. Yu... Oh my god, that must be bliss?"
"Mr. Yu is so adorable, even choosing a wife by lottery, I'm totally in love with him, I really want to pinch his cheeks."
"I heard Mr. Yu is extremely handsome, but he rarely shows his face. Those who have seen him say that even the top domestic celebrities can't compare with him."
"Being his wife, would one be elevated to heaven? Oh my gosh... why didn't I win the lottery? Mr. Yu, pick me, pick me..."
Listening to these passersby, Gu Xia felt like cursing. She thought, if you guys saw the unequal contract that freak proposed, you'd probably curse as well, right? To put it plainly, isn't it just that bastard wanting to marry her for a year without spending a dime and also forbidding any physical contact? How absurd... Would she agree to it?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became... Gu Xia called the team leader saying she felt a bit heat-stricken and wanted to go home to rest. Then, the sole grand prize winner just abandoned her prize and fled, which seemed to be within someone's expectations.
Empire Building, 101st Floor
This building is the headquarters of VO Group. Who is Yu Xiuli, the man in charge? He is the man who has been on the Forbes global rankings for five consecutive years, dubbed the youngest mogul in history. Said to be just 27 years old, no one knows his background, only that he reached the pinnacle of the world in just five years. He's a very mysterious man, rarely appearing on television interviews, does not do Weibo, doesn't use WeChat, has no Instagram, and always keeps a low profile in public dealings, coming and going in secret as if he harbors an unspeakable secret.
However, his good looks have already become widely known. It's said that last year during a charity night, the famous actress Jiang Chuchu fell in love with Mr. Yu at first sight and threw herself at him unabashedly, only to be tossed into the sea by Mr. Yu's bodyguards, almost feeding the sharks...
At that time, Gu Xia wondered just what kind of man could drive a woman so crazy? A modern-day Pan An?
Empire Building, President's Office
The heavy metal door opened, and a man wearing a black T-shirt with his head lowered walked in.
It was a deep V-neck shirt, the muscles of his chest faintly visible underneath. His hair was a coffee color, short, with a black diamond earring adorning his left ear.
His pale, slender fingers were casually tucked into his trouser pocket as he walked in nonchalantly, his long eyelashes visible as he looked down.
When Meng Fan first saw him five years ago, he couldn't help but exclaim that a man this stunningly beautiful could lead to the ruin of the state.
Regaining his senses, Meng Fan immediately straightened up, a spontaneous respect welling up within him.
"President Yu."
"Did she sign?" The man's voice was very pleasant, carrying a unique timbre.
"I am incompetent, Miss Gu... she abandoned the prize and left," Meng Fan said, somewhat ashamed.
The man didn't speak, walked over, picked up the contract Gu Xia had been viewing, glanced at it, and then his lips lifted in a small smirk.
"It doesn't matter, she'll come back."
