C172

At nine in the morning, An Runnan was already waiting for the call to arrive. The person who had said that someone had arrived was tapping his fingers on the table, provoking the other members who were in the middle of a meeting.

He only came back to his senses when a message suddenly popped up on his phone. He glanced at everyone and walked out, leaving only two words, "Dismissed."

Meng Siyu held onto her luggage and waited downstairs. With her personality, she could have already gone to the CEO's office to wait, but the front desk in Ann's was not tactful, and did not allow her to go. If it wasn't for the fact that beating someone up would cause trouble for them in the next few days, she could have easily killed this ignorant girl.

When An Runnan came down, it was already five minutes later. Meng Siyu sized up the man in front of him and knew clearly that he would be a partner she would work with in the future.

"Director An, I've heard a lot about you." Meng Siyu slipped away with the luggage in front of An Runnan, showing her sincerity and how ungrateful the receptionist was.

An Runnan looked at Front Desk Miss who had humbly lowered his head and said indifferently: "I won't be here tomorrow, go pay up."

After that, she looked at Meng Siyu with a surprised gaze. She really looked similar to Meng Qi, she suppressed the suspicions in her heart and smiled: "An Runnan."

"Meng Siyu." Meng Siyu looked at An Runnan and extended her hand out to touch it.

"Then, let's have a happy cooperation." The corner of An Runnan's mouth curled up. Only the Meng Siyu in front of him could understand this deep smile.

Hearing that, Meng Siyu's eyes lit up, and looked at An Runnan with a smile that was not a smile, and said resolutely: "I will not disappoint you."

Gu Family

The badly defeated flower bud fell to the ground. The broken remnants on the ground had long been tidied up by someone. Even a trace of blood on the corner of their table had disappeared.

Gu Anning sat in the flower garden with his father's favorite tea in his hand. It was fragrant with a sweet taste, no wonder he had always been alone with his father's habit.

As for her mother's matter, she already did not want to mention it, and no one wanted to speak. After all, the woman did not love his father, but towards her words, Gu Anning would still be sad.

Indeed, when a woman gives all her love to another person, to the rest of them, all she gives is indifference and backwardness. Didn't she say that she needed to make up for it? How could she not even take a look at her father's funeral when she had abandoned her and her father in such a cold corner after spending such a beautiful day with the person she loved?

As a woman, she understood, but as a daughter, she could not forgive.

"Calm down." Mu Fan brought a bowl of porridge to Gu Anning, and after placing it on the table, he squatted in front of Gu Anning and reached out to pull her hand. "Eat some peacefully first."

Gu Anning shook his head, "I can't eat."

"I'll feed you. Eat some more." No one could understand Gu Anning better than him, he had also lost his loved ones before too. He understood the pain he felt at that time, and he hoped even more that Gu Anning could endure it.

Seeing that Gu Anning did not reject, Lin Mufan pulled the chair over, sat in front of Gu Anning, and focused on feeding Gu Anning with a bowl.

Although she ate slowly, looking at Lin Mufan's current state, he had lost weight for her and also for the company, so she shouldn't be so selfish.

Even though it was extremely difficult for Gu Anning to eat it, he still managed to gulp down a bowl.

"Mu Fan, have you eaten yet?" Gu Anning pulled Lin Mufan's hand that was reaching out to her mouth and asked.

Lin Mufan stopped for a moment, shook his head, held Gu Anning's hand back, and said: "No problem, I'm not hungry."

"Let's go to the lobby together, I'll feed you." Gu Anning said stubbornly.

Lin Mufan nodded, then pulled Gu Anning along to the hall.

Today was the second day, and the funeral would take seven days. The first seven were very important, no matter who it was, they paid attention to it, and the older generation believed in the words of the ghosts and gods, while Gu Anning did not want his father to have a proper funeral.

The Gu family believed in buddhas, and a few monks were chanting scriptures on the subject. Most people didn't understand, but because of the monk's serious appearance and the current atmosphere, they became solemn for a moment.

As a result of tradition, the Gu family's funeral was filled with the same thoughts as the old days of ghosts and gods. Putting aside the faith and Buddha, just the ashes alone required seven days of sacrifice.

In A city, there were too few funerals like the Gu family. However, most of the people who came were old people, and most of them were from the upper class.

Furthermore, how this kind of funeral was held was not something an outsider could talk about. He could only sigh and say, "The Gu family will not forget its roots." The things of the old ancestor, no matter how much they believed or didn't believe, were still things that belonged to people.

The sandalwood fragrance slowly rose, and the thick smoke enveloped the entire room. When Gu Anning and Lin Mufan returned, the room was already silent.

In this matter of mourning, Gu Anning went on stage by himself, and because it was because of his old father, he cried especially miserably. He was equally touching, and his crying also caused some of the emotional women around him to drop their tears.

At the same time, kowtowing was also an important thing. It was the same as offering, except that kowtowing for seven days required a continuous process. The actual kowtow ceremony as well as the delivery of the spirit from Xie Tian had to wait until the seventh day.

After sprinkling some wine on the ground, they kneeled down and kowtowed nine times, which was considered a farewell. Everyone only had a small amount of money left to burn paper and watch the candles, thus the butler brought Gu Anning to his room.

"An Ran, this funeral will be fine for three days as well. Look at how much you've been tormenting yourself for." Yu Xin looked at Gu Anning's forehead that was flushed red, and said nothing. Although she was being a little outrageous saying that, Gu Anning's current state was truly worrisome.

Hearing that, Gu Anning patted Yu Xin's hands, and shook her head, "Three days is not good, the first seven times is more important, and I also want to accompany father. As for …."

"Are you talking about Gu Anxi, or your heartless mother?" Yu Xin unhappily accepted the words that Gu Anning did not finish. As her best friend, Yu Xin knew what Gu Anning was thinking as well.

This girl still had thoughts of bringing the two of them here, but now, one of them did not want to come, and the other was even chased away by Gu Anning.

Hearing that, Gu Anning laughed, she knew that his thoughts could not escape Yu Xin's eyes, and indeed she had the same thoughts, but in his heart, he was still unwilling to see her father, if they could reunite, her father would be happy.

"An Ran, why are you so stubborn?" Yu Xin poked Gu Anning on the head, and said helplessly, "Right now, you are as mischievous as someone from the ancient times, your family really pays attention to things like that …"

Hearing that, Gu Anning's face was slightly sunburnt, but he still looked at Yu Xin with a helpless smile, and did not explain too much.

Seeing that, Yu Xin could only take back what she wanted to say, the current Gu Anning was already exhausted, she had better not know about Lin's disease, if not she would be even more worried.

At that time, it would instead give Lin Mufan an even greater headache.

Gu Anning had sensed Yu Xin's concerns, but seeing that she did not say anything and just stood quietly at the side, she knew that she would definitely not say anything, so she thought that asking this question was asking for nothing.

However, Mu Fan had lost weight recently, so what of the matter with the company? I'm afraid he'll have to work hard again. But just the fact that the company leaked the case isn't enough to get into trouble, is it?

"Rest in peace, I'll go out for a while." Yu Xin pursed her lips, her eyes flickering. She was afraid that she would say it out of excitement.

Gu Anning nodded after hearing what he said, he only relaxed when he saw Yu Xin leaving the room and closing the door. Since they did not want her to know, then she would pretend not to know.

Gu Anning walked under the bed and knocked on a wooden board, causing a wooden board to rise up, Gu Anning extended his hand and took out the thing inside.

It was a mobile phone, a book, and a dozen contracts and certificates.

"Hey, Ye, I think we need to work together again." Gu Anning dialed the only number on his phone.

An incredulous voice came from the other end of the phone. It was a woman. "Ning, I didn't expect you to call me again."

"Ye, my husband is in trouble." She didn't have that much American time to reminisce about the old, because in the next stage, they would meet more people. Gu Anning had a strong premonition.

"Oh god, you actually got married. My little brother is going to be sad." Ye Tianming's gloating voice came over the phone, "Ning, are you sure you want to accept the fact that my little brother is so angry at you?"

"Ye, your little brother is only ten years old …" Gu Anning rolled his eyes and rubbed his forehead helplessly. She seemed exceptionally helpless towards this friend who kept on making her fall in love with a minor.

Hearing this, Ye Wen laughed dryly and said, "Ning, you must know that my younger brother is from heaven to earth …"

"Alright, no matter if your little brother is peerlessly handsome or extremely ugly, my husband is the most handsome!" Gu Anning said shamelessly.

She was stunned for a long time before saying, "Ning, even though I haven't seen your husband before, I can still imagine how shameless he is. And now, you have already become a stranger to me."

"Alright, help me investigate the recent happenings in Lin's disease. The more detailed the better, and at the same time, inject some funds into it." Gu Anning knocked on the cup as he looked at the cup indifferently. There were no ripples in his eyes.

"Ning, are you trying to withdraw money from my side? Pressure Lin's disease? " Ye Wen was slightly dissatisfied, as he mumbled, "You're forgetting your home. You're the only one left in my home who invests money. It's not much."

"Ye, I want to help my husband, his company, and the future of his company. At the same time, I will manage the Gu's myself." Gu Anning rubbed his brow. She had never thought that there would come a day when she would choose to walk this path on his own.

I will send over the Lin's disease's information and as for the investments, I will send them over in batches. If not, the amount will become too suspicious, and as for the negative news, You will need to use Gu's's revival to divert everyone's attention. "Ye Wen said.

"Okay, thank you." Gu Anning heaved a sigh of relief and hung up the phone. The battlefield that was devoid of smoke was finally about to begin.
