319 Reunion 14 (1/2)
”Alright, I'll be waiting here.”
Gu Beicheng and Jin Qingyan had been arch enemies and rivals in business for years.
Little did he expect that he would one day be so bored as to create a surprise for Jin Qingyan. Pigs were going to fly.
”Young Sir, Mr. Gu is waiting at the entrance. He'd like to see you.”
”Gu Beicheng?” After a moment of hesitation, Jin Qingyan said, ”I just happened to have something to tell him too. Allow him in.”
”Alright.”
Fan Shixin turned around to let Gu Beicheng in.
Upon sight of Jin Qingyan, Gu Beicheng said, ”I went to look for you at your bridal chamber before coming here. This place is so well renovated, eh? Do you plan to make this the new bridal chamber?”
”You've guessed it. I was planning to look you up too, actually,” Jin Qingyan answered with a straight face.
Gu Beicheng raised his brows in surprise. ”You were going to look for me?”
”Yes, I have something to tell you. Your family must know about this,” said Jin Qingyan, looking at Gu Beicheng in the eye.
”What is it about?”
”Xiaoning is still alive.”
Staring at him, Gu Beicheng grimaced in bewilderment, momentarily speechless.
Thinking that he must have been shocked, Jin Qingyan said, ”She's upstairs right now. Would you like me to bring her down?”
”She's upstairs?” Gu Beicheng was dumbfounded. If An Xiaoning was upstairs, then who was the person waiting for him outside?
”Bring her down to let me have a look then.” Gu Beicheng sat down on the couch, maintaining his composure.
Jin Qingyan motioned to Fan Shixin and instructed, ”Please ask her to come down.”
”Yes, Young Sir.”
Gu Beicheng did not ask any further questions and continued to wait in puzzlement.
A minute later, footsteps could be heard from the stairs.
Gu Beicheng was overwhelmed with perplexity as he stared at the woman who was making her way down slowly. ”Let me make a call.”
Jin Qingyan did not react much, thinking that he was going to call the Gu family.
Gu Beicheng gave An Xiaoning a call and said, ”Wait for me for a little while.”
”Alright.”
Gu Beicheng ended the call and stood up to walk towards Gu Xiaoning. Staring at the woman before him who looked exactly like An Xiaoning, he asked, ”You're An Xiaoning?”
”I am Gu Xiaoning. My last name shall be 'Gu' from now on,” Gu Xiaoning answered.
Gu Beicheng was appalled and dumbstruck to hear that they even had the same voice.
Just what was going on?
Was this a case of doppelgangers?
However, Gu Beicheng knew clearly which one of them was the real An Xiaoning.
”Why is your last name 'Gu'? It's clearly 'An'.”
”Qingyan wanted me to have that last name.”
”You decided to take up the last name 'Gu' just because he wants you to. Are you that obedient and compliant towards him?”
”Of course, he's the man I love most.”
She had answered without hesitation at all.
If he had not known that the real An Xiaoning was alive beforehand, he would have really taken the imposter for the real deal.
