26: Chapter 26 You Are My Moonlight: The Substitute Male Supporting Character 25

"Qingxue, are you still going to be headstrong?"

Inside the massive venue, Su Qingxue had already walked to the door and was preparing to leave, but she was grabbed by the wrist by Gu Qingyan, who had rushed over.

Most people were still immersed in Gu Qingyan's proposal, and no one cared about the dispute at the entrance.

"Let go!"

Su Qingxue frowned and shook off Gu Qingyan's hand.

Gu Qingyan's face was gloomy, suppressing his anger.

"Qingxue, stop making a scene. You've seen it for yourself; only I can help you. As long as you nod, the Gu Group, Changning Group, and the Su Group—if the three of us join forces, everything will be ours."

Su Qingxue laughed in anger. Who didn't know that?

She rubbed her wrist, looked at Gu Qingyan mockingly, and said coldly, "So you knew that too. Then why did you refuse to cooperate with the Su Group? Using this to threaten me into a marriage alliance—don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Gu Qingyan clenched his fists, his voice turning cold as well.

"Only through a marriage alliance can our cooperation be guaranteed..."

"Heh, a despicable excuse. Gu Qingyan, threatening a woman's marriage is something only the most shameful of men would do!"

Su Qingxue's interruption made the veins on Gu Qingyan's forehead bulge and his temples throb. He couldn't understand why this woman was being so stubborn.

Subconsciously, in his anger, he grabbed Su Qingxue's wrist again and warned her coldly, "Su Qingxue, this isn't a threat; it's to make you see reality. We clearly have mutual feelings for each other. Don't be headstrong just because you dislike marriage alliances. We will be very happy after we marry!"

"In your dreams!!!"

The dispute between the two finally attracted everyone's attention, but because it was a private matter, no one came to intervene.

However, in the corner of the hall, Gu Qingyang slowly stood up. He had come to watch the fun today.

The fun hadn't started yet, but he couldn't let his sister-in-law get bullied. So, he walked over, preparing to stop Gu Qingyan from laying his hands on her again.

On the way, watching Gu Qingyan lose his composure, Gu Qingyang was astonished.

He dealt with the entertainment industry and saw some things more clearly than Gu Qingyan. The marriage alliance was just an excuse; the man in front of him was clearly using public affairs for private gain, in love without realizing it.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyang revealed a mocking smile.

Just as they were arguing and Gu Qingyan tried to grab Su Qingxue again, Gu Qingyang finally walked over and blocked him.

"Qingyang? Why are you here?"

Gu Qingyan was somewhat surprised; this place had absolutely nothing to do with Gu Qingyang's media company.

"Big brother, you sure like to meddle. Where I am is none of your business."

Rolling his eyes, Gu Qingyang turned to look at Su Qingxue with a smile on his face.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Qingyang, why are you here?"

Su Qingxue was also confused about this, and she asked subconsciously.

"Sister-in-law, Meng Zhu knew you were coming here today and specifically sent us to help you."

"You all?"

"Yes!" Gu Qingyang nodded.

"Time was a bit tight, and there might be traffic, but there's one more person on the way who will be here soon."

"You mean, Meng Zhu sent you to help me? And who is the other person?"

Su Qingxue bit her lip, her eyes turning red.

Just a moment ago, while arguing with Gu Qingyan, she hadn't felt any fear or trepidation. But now, hearing that Meng Zhu had arranged for people to help her, a wave of grievance welled up, and tears were about to spill from her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, don't cry. Don't worry, that person will be here in a moment and will definitely be able to help you."

Gu Qingyang didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only pat his chest and guarantee it.

"Just you?"

Gu Qingyan scoffed, his eyes filled with contempt.

"A media company—no matter how much of a scene you make, what can you do? Can you help her?"

"I can't." Gu Qingyang turned around and shrugged indifferently.

"She has a husband; it's not my place to help. But big brother, even if I just pour her a glass of water, sister-in-law will say thank you. As for you, even if you offered all your shares, she wouldn't care for them."

These words hit home. Gu Qingyan's face turned livid again; he clearly wasn't as sharp-tongued as his younger brother.

"Just talk. What can that good-for-nothing Meng Zhu do?"

"The Su Group is already in my grip, Changning will sign with me soon, and the new energy market will be decided by my word!"

"Hmph, wanting to help Su Qingxue—you can't do it, and that good-for-nothing Meng Zhu can't do it either."

"You!"

Gu Qingyang was a bit angry, but was suddenly pulled by Su Qingxue, who shook her head.

Just then, the hall door was pushed open. Before the person arrived, their voice rang out first.

"CEO Gu, I wonder, can I do it?"

"Who?"

Gu Qingyan frowned and turned to look at the door.

The person who arrived was about forty years old, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with an extraordinary demeanor, looking quite amiable. But anyone could see that he possessed the aura of someone who had long held a high position, naturally commanding respect without needing to be angry.

"Chen... CEO Chen?"

Su Qingxue's eyes widened. Gu Qingyang glanced sideways at Gu Qingyan, his eyes meaningful.

"Miss Su, long time no see."

The person who had arrived was none other than Chen Hai.

He was the same Chen Hai who, years ago at a banquet, had boasted about entering the new energy sector, only to be enlightened by Meng Zhu and pivot to electronic accessories.

Although she hadn't paid much attention over the last two years, Chen Hai's company was still thunderously famous to her. He had integrated and restructured, renamed it Xiaohai Technology, and achieved astonishing success.

Now, it was thriving in the electronics field, with a constant stream of products covering every aspect. From mobile phones, tablets, computers, smart wearables, and smart home appliances—as large as refrigerators and air conditioners, and as small as electric toothbrushes—it was all available, encompassing the entire home ecosystem.

More importantly, Xiaohai Technology possessed the nation's top intelligent AI—Xiaohai Tongxue. It was currently the most popular, most well-received, most powerful, and smartest intelligent AI in the country.

Could it be?

Su Qingxue didn't dare to continue thinking, but her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Chen Hai was still smiling, signaling his assistant with his eyes. The assistant nodded, carrying a tablet and a stack of documents, bypassing the group and walking straight toward the Changning review board, which was still in discussion.

Gu Qingyan's expression was grave, staring fixedly in the direction of the review board. Chen Hai, however, was unconcerned, as if victory were already in his grasp.

"Miss Su, Xiaohai Technology hopes to cooperate deeply with the Su Group. Would it be possible to discuss the details?"

Su Qingxue was clearly still a bit bewildered.

"But CEO Chen, what kind of cooperation are you referring to?"

Chen Hai smiled slightly.

"Miss Su, no need to rush. Look over there?"

Su Qingxue turned her head and saw the Changning review board in an uproar, everyone looking agitated and incredibly excited. One of them stood up and hurried over.

Before he even arrived, he had already extended his hand from afar. When he shook hands with Chen Hai, the man's face was beaming with a bright smile.

"CEO Chen, CEO Su, why don't we go somewhere else to discuss in detail?"

"Good!" Chen Hai agreed immediately. Su Qingxue glanced at him; although she didn't understand, she didn't object. She knew that Meng Zhu must have called in a favor to bring Chen Hai here, and he wouldn't set her up.

"Wait, Representative Qin, what is the meaning of this for Changning Group? Weren't you going to sign with my Gu Group?"

Gu Qingyan panicked and hurriedly grabbed the representative of Changning Group.
