Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1216: Her Majesty the Empress (9)

Ou Yanan looked at her like that and really felt they were people from two different worlds.

Zhao Mengjin was oblivious and asked him on the road, "Isn’t your teacher coming?"

After treating the young master, Tang Sili continued his daily work in the hospital.

"He has work," Ou Yanan said, seemingly not surprised she asked about Tang Sili.

Zhao Mengjin suddenly felt her heart racing, surprised that she couldn’t hold back from asking earlier.

Three years had passed, and she hadn’t seen that man in all that time.

Gu Nuan was about to depart to meet up with her two sons. Looking at the time, it was just right, so she could only leave directly from the company. On the way to the airport, she had a video call with Zhong Qiaohui in the United States.

Due to the time difference with the United States, it was ten in the morning here, while it was after nine in the evening over there.

Zhong Qiaohui seemed to be outside, not at home, trying on a pair of bridal shoes in a shop.

The bride of the Zhang Family, daughter of the Zhong Family, all identities were extremely prestigious, and the wedding was naturally extraordinarily grand. The bride’s dress alone had eighteen sets prepared. Over twenty pairs of shoes were prepared as well.

Gu Nuan felt tired just thinking about it for Zhong Qiaohui.

Zhong Qiaohui, however, was in good spirits because she had been preparing for nearly three years for this wedding.

Gu Nuan only seemed to realize that three years ago, after returning home, she really resolved to marry Zhang Yingxi.

Zhong Qiaohui smirked and said, "I’m straightforward; do you think I would deceive you and leave you behind?"

Gu Nuan laughed, "Indeed, you forgot your friends for the sake of romance."

"Every woman must get married. Isn’t it the same for you? You’ve even had kids with Mr. Bai. Hey, where are the two monkeys?" Zhong Qiaohui looked into the video window for a long time, not seeing her two favorite monkeys.

Gu Nuan told her, "They went to the airport first. How could they dare not come to see their Aunt Zhong?"

Zhong Qiaohui squinted, "I’m happy your sons are coming because I know they’re here for my wedding. As for you, dealing with so many daily affairs, you’re definitely here to talk business with me."

It was indeed hard to hide from this eldest daughter of the Zhong Family. As a major corporation’s chairman, could she truly leave everything in the company and take time off just for a friend’s wedding?

The workgroup going to the United States for business cooperation, led by Chen Jiaming, had already left on the first flight this morning, ahead of Gu Nuan and her children.

"My business talks—" Gu Nuan said, "might also bring you some benefits."

Miss Zhong Qiaohui wasn’t interested: "I’m getting married, becoming a wealthy wife, so of course, no need to earn money outside."

Why did that sound so familiar? Oh, it was Xiao Family’s third child saying that.

A subtle light flickered in Gu Nuan’s eyes.

Three years ago, Xiao Shuju set out again for Europe, continuing her small business, which she had been doing for three years.

The old lady often scolded Xiao Shuju at home, saying Xiao Shuju didn’t know how to do business and suggested she should find another husband to marry. At this age, dragging any longer, does she really want to stay single forever? Doesn’t she want kids?

Xiao Shuju really didn’t seem like someone who would do business. After three years, the Xiao Family had connections in Europe, and if Xiao Shuju used them well, she could have made a fortune in less than a year. But Xiao Shuju’s company seemed dormant. The old lady didn’t know what this third child wanted to do in Europe.

While talking to her long-lost best friend, Zhong Qiaohui received a text message and turned to look at it.

Gu Nuan said to her, "Is it my husband’s third sister messaging?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Zhong Qiaohui turned back, questioning, "Your husband’s third sister?"

"It seems you didn’t invite her?"

"What for?" Zhong Qiaohui giggled, "Having your sons here is enough for me."

"So, my presence doesn’t matter much."

"Of course," Zhong Qiaohui said, then hesitantly added, "Actually, there’s someone I really didn’t want to meet. But thinking about it, for your sake, I had to let her come. — You know, Li Changzhi."

Li Changzhi, who married a rich man in the United States at fifty, shocked everyone. No one could understand why Li Changzhi, who seemingly had everything, would marry an old man.

Gu Nuan understood the meaning in Zhong Qiaohui’s words. Logically, like Zhong Qiaohui, she also disliked this woman, but coincidentally, the real estate project Changda plans in the United States had its seller as Li Changzhi’s husband. Gu Jinrong always kept business and personal matters separate; there was no need to lose money over personal dislike of someone.
