"What kind of person do you think Guo Xuyang is?" Dier asked.
"Handsome, charming, and he fights incredibly well. It’s like he knows he’s going to win."
"You perfectly captured his favor yesterday.
So, he’s invested all the rewards he received as capital into the bar and is letting you participate in its management as his representative."
"Is this for real? It’s unbelievable. I don’t even know what to say." Bell was a bit flustered.
Seeing Bell like this, Dier believed that Guo Xuyang really hadn't told her about this.
"I won't treat you unfairly either.
The rewards he left behind will be used as a ten percent stake in the bar's management.
You can dispose of the future dividends as you see fit."
"Oh my god, this, this is truly unbelievable. I, I..."
"Alright, don't get so excited.
From now on, you don't need to come down here anymore. You'll be responsible for the bar's business upstairs."
"Okay, boss. Thank you so much." Bell nodded quickly in agreement.
Guo Xuyang didn't pay much attention to these matters and returned to Chick's manor with Lu Liang and the others.
"Yangzi, what happened yesterday?"
"I was drugged," Guo Xuyang replied.
"What? What happened? Are you okay?"
"Do I look like someone who's not okay?"
"Who had the guts? Who dared to drug you?"
"I don't know. I ended up sleeping until this morning." Guo Xuyang, of course, wasn't telling the whole truth.
"Do you think any of us would believe what you're saying?"
"Whether you believe it or not, there's nothing I can do. I didn't expect that guy to be so powerful."
"You're quite impressive too. At least you walked out on your own. That guy was carried out on a stretcher."
"I was injected as soon as I got to my room. After that, I don't know what happened."
Ilena and Xia were in another car and naturally didn't know what Guo Xuyang was saying.
If they knew, they would have called him a scumbag again.
"I really want to get to know you," Xia said, looking at Ilena's profile.
"Is that so? There are many people who look alike; you might have mistaken me."
"No. We might have lived together before."
"Did we? My memory has been quite poor since giving birth, so I can't recall many things."
"You had a child? Didn't you say you couldn't have children?" Xia said.
Hearing Xia say this, Ilena knew she had truly remembered who she was.
Ilena had gotten together with Guo Xuyang because she knew she was pregnant, which prompted her to return to China with him.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
"I'm Xia. After we parted ways, I took on a job, but I was set up, and that's how I ended up here."
"Xia, I remember now. We might have collaborated before." Ilena pretended to have a sudden realization.
"It's great that you remember. I'm finally starting to believe myself.
I feel like I've been through a long dream; it's so surreal."
"Sometimes what you see isn't always the truth.
I never expected to see you again. Time has passed so quickly.
You've changed so much."
"I think I was framed, and then I lost all my memories.
I also didn't expect to meet you here.
You mentioned you had a child; what does the father do?"
"You've met him. Haven't we been together for the past couple of days?"
"So, your child was born with Guo Xuyang?"
"Of course. What do you think?"
"That explains why the child feels so familiar, and why I have this inexplicable sense of closeness. So, it's your child."
"When did this happen? I had no idea."
"When Guo Xuyang and I first arrived here, you and the others went shopping.
I didn't know any of you, so I stayed home and looked after the child with Guo Xuyang."
"You're talking about that time. Actually, those people were quite resistant to you.
Everyone knows Yangzi is a flirt, falling for someone new every time.
He brought you back just a few days after getting married, so they were rather dismissive of you."
"I don't have that kind of relationship with him," Xia said.
"Just because you don't now doesn't mean you won't in the future."
"I'm not the kind of person you think I am."
"People change. Up to this point, I've never met a girl who managed to escape from his grasp," Ilena said.
"Is he that formidable? It's no wonder you like him so much."
"He has this indescribable allure about him, making it impossible to break free," Ilena said dreamily.
"Stop being a lovesick puppy and focus on your driving. Didn't he not come back last night?"
"Didn't you see that woman with the long legs constantly leaning into him?"
"Why didn't you wait for him at the entrance yesterday?
If my man were that amazing, I would have rushed to wait for him early on."
Ilena would never tell Xia the truth; she couldn't possibly say she was afraid of being recognized for not going.
"Someone was already waiting. Was I supposed to go and fight for his attention?
Am I that kind of person? What would that make me in the eyes of others?"
"You're right. But love is often selfish."
"Love is selfish.
If you truly love someone, you'll find that love is also great, even benevolent."
"I can't understand your way of thinking."
"You'll understand gradually as time goes by," Ilena said, ceasing her explanation.
The two cars soon arrived at Chick's manor.
"Why did you take so long? Xiao Bao almost forgot about you."
Wu Shangqing saw Guo Xuyang and the others return and chided them.
"It was too late after finishing up yesterday, so we didn't head back and found a place to stay."
Guo Xuyang said this as he picked up Xiao Bao.
"Did you miss Daddy?"
Unfortunately, Xiao Guo Yishun didn't play along and reached out directly for Ilena.
His little mouth kept calling out, "Mommy, Mommy..."
This child is a prodigy; a baby less than six months old can call out "Mommy."
It's no wonder that with such extraordinary parents, their child is also out of the ordinary.
"There, there, Mommy will hold you." Ilena took Xiao Bao from Guo Xuyang's arms and said affectionately.
"Don't just stand there. Come inside and have something to eat," Xiao Yun said, seeing them still standing outside.
"Let's go, Brother Liang. We should grab something to eat; we need to head back soon."
"Why don't I see Chick?" Lu Liang asked Xu Dahai.
"He's busy organizing people to work. I heard they discovered another large gold mine," Xu Dahai said.
"Really? Yangzi's dividends should increase again?" Lu Liang said with a smile.
"No. This is all for my mother and the others."
"You're so filial. Why can't I have your kind of capability?" Lu Liang sounded a bit envious.
"What's wrong with your Xiao Yu?
Enough said, let's go eat so we can get an early start."
Guo Xuyang said as he walked into the room.
