Shirley wept bitterly as she looked at her sister Sherman's figure that quickly disappeared into the neon moonlight.

Her mind was confused, though her mind went blank from excessive anger due to the heated argument. But at the final level when the consciousness of longing gradually faded out of her brain, she still instinctively wanted to grab Sherman's hand again.

"What to do, no matter how much you hurt us, I still can't help but have a strong desire to take you home, what to do, what to do, what should I do, no matter how sad I am, I definitely have no intention of giving up on you. ”

But when she looked at the pair of intimate shadows under the crimson moon curtain that snuggled up to each other through the curtain of tears that surged like a waterfall, she still resisted the urge to be reckless. Although in the bottom of her heart, she whispered countless times: "Please, don't abandon me, don't give up on us." ”

But she knows that a woman in love will really tear her face when she goes crazy, because for the love of similar beliefs in her heart, she can disdain anything else, including friendship, which can't rule out resistance and tough family affection.

Shirley leaned her head against a wall at the end of the bar, and she exhaled deeply, then calmed her breath again as she swallowed all the grievances, resentment, blood and tears. She was so depressed that no matter how strong she was at that moment, she was on the verge of collapse, but when she looked at the blue eyes that looked at her curiously with an indifferent gaze through the caramel-colored halo, Shirley told herself to adjust her cry to zero.

The word "Sister Sherman" has become more and more hazy since she can remember, because in Shirley's impression, she will always stand on the other side of the world, far away from herself. No matter how hard the family screamed or grabbed her hand, she could quickly break free and then vilely draw a line with them. Maybe by chance, she will also miss the home she used to have, and she used to be a sweet but sweet life although it was hard. But when she got in order and mustered up the courage to stand in front of them, she was still more indifferent than a passer-by on the street. Of course, compared to her inexplicably depraved aphorisms, her indifferent appearance is the most disappointing. And she always gave the most selfless gentleness and full of self-confidence to the man who treated her the most shoddy wine bag and rice bag plus a flowery split-leg man.

The world beyond the door of the heart,

The infectious beat of the drums drove the same soul-washing singing as it flowed slowly through the bustling air. Under a pair of slightly drunk eyes, ba

te

de

The wine bottle that reflected the brilliant glimmer was familiar with him, bouncing up and down obediently and leisurely on his left and right hands.

Through the dim and mournful magnesium light and the sparkling ripples that creep into her eyes from the glass, Shirley looked at the bright yellow sunflower goblet that had just landed steadily on the black-brown flowing water sparkling table among the countless gray crystals that had been whitewashed by crystal lamps.

Just as Sherman escaped from the bar, she logged out all of her Weibo QQ. The moment her avatar stopped beating, it turned into a dune bunker surrounded by barren weeds and undersurging swamps, just like her miserable and desolate inner world. That's right, just when Shirley met her or earlier, she had already been annihilated by the wind from the boiling cold blood.

Shirley turned off her phone and deliberately muted it, but when she saw Director Jiang Lianxun who kept wandering around her table, she didn't jump out of the small private room immediately, on the contrary, when she noticed that the strange and handsome man saluted her, she shook the wine glass in her hand stiffly, and smiled back with a wary smile.

Through the cups of dark red liquid on the long black and brown checkered table, in addition to the occasional purple curtains that catch the eye, there are also those who have temporarily forgotten the joys and sorrows of life bathed in the rapid neon of colorful clouds or obsessive or hip-hop Lingbo dance steps.

And Shirley's eyes were always fixed on the figure of the man who greeted him.

Perhaps afraid that the strange little girl would be frightened by herself, the man consciously retreated in the direction of the gate, and Shirley caught a glimpse of him standing at the gate from a distance, waved his hand inside, and hurriedly spun out the door. Only then did she let go of her grip on her collar and relaxed slightly.

meanwhile

The ambiguous breath runs through the countless staggered eyes, and the pair of eyes with a hesitant meaning. As the deafening jazz music approached a more abrupt and exciting new movement, even the men and women seated in the deep and noble Marseille-style compartment dropped their glasses and walked out of the cubicle, frantically swaying their fair and seductive bodies and swaying their moist hair floating in the wind excitedly.

Shirley sat alone in the small private room separated by wooden window sashes and thick creamy white Gothic columns, and from her perspective she could clearly hear the refreshing and energetic music in the mezzanine, and from time to time shuttled through the flirtatious teasing words of women in the crowd, as well as the soft whispers of men who could not control their souls when they fell in love after being paralyzed by the ambiguous breath and paralyzed by the ambiguous breath.

"It's boring, this kind of life is really too depressing. Is it in such a place that my sister dedicates all her youth every day?"

Through the gentle warm light of the colorful drinks on the flowing table, Shirley revisited everything here, and then she looked up at the crooked but unusually familiar line of writing on the wall.

"I miss you too, but what to do, I don't have the face to meet the people I have to see. ”

Shirley slowly withdrew her gaze from the small line, perhaps the owner of the line needed some more time. Out of instinct, Shirley still chose to forgive her at a moment. Shirley turned her phone back on and found her sister Sherman's port to log in, and at that moment even the carefree childhood memories that Shirley had remembered with her disappeared without a trace as if she had been weathered, as if she was impatient to disappear from this world.

Recalling the warm scene when the two sisters were digging wild vegetables in the mountains when they were suddenly caught in a torrential rain, and the sister put her only raincoat on top of her head, Shirley's tears swirled in her sore eyes, and at the same time, she laughed naturally.

Gu Beiming couldn't forget Shirley's low and noisy expression when she just knelt down at the door of the bar in despair, although tears would not play any role in his life dictionary, and would even become a symbol of uselessness. But just now, no matter how much he pretended to turn a blind eye, he was still moved by compassion. And the reason why he couldn't help but walk to Shirley's side was another reason, that is, he wanted to know how persistent the hot-blooded boys and girls could be in love without the slightest blessing. As far as the conversation between the two sisters was concerned, he didn't think that the girl in front of him would hesitate to do anything for Gu Beichen. even said that he was a little panicked, he was afraid that the fearless Gu Beichen would suffer a series of losses. Not only offended his father and was not accepted by the Gu family, but also abandoned by the girl who was not determined for the second time. So next time, if there is really a competition, will that boy still show mercy to his subordinates who coldly took away all of Gu's property?

For his father, President Gu, his indifferent and resolute temperament seems to be natural. Not to mention a girl who is just beginning to fall in love, even Tae-hee, who is more mature and experienced than her, can't tell him what she has been planning for a long time, and when the words come to her mouth, she only sobs in a low voice, and even Beiming, who loves Tae-hee deeply, still can't rashly break her father's rules, and rushes in desperately to protect and comfort her. Because he knew that breaking the rules meant the end of identity for such a cold clan family. And he has been raised by his father in the way of a successor since he was a child, and if he leaves here, he will be like a goldfish in a saline lake that drains the last drop of blood. And then even this shell used to shelter Tae-hee will not be left. But how could he not know that dry consumption also means loss, it is just the time of time, fast and slow, it is meaningless at all. Fighting is death, not fighting is sitting still, in his eyes, except for the bloody road in front of him, he has no second pass.

"Thank you, please keep this card, I won't need it, even if I don't leave here, I can promise you that I will never see Gu Beiming again. Although in my heart he will always be my original dream. Then please help me protect this good wish. As you said, it doesn't matter if you get close to Young Master Beiming, fall in love with him, or make a big fuss about his celebration. These are all done by me alone, and as the end of the farce, I should pay the price alone. Compared with any punitive measure, love is already the cruelest punishment. Looking at Tae-hee who was hiding his face and crying in the crack of the door, Gu Beiming turned around helplessly. And from his father's rejection of Tae-hee, Beiming knew that Beichen's road would not be easy either, and even their results were no better than their own and Tae-hee's yesterday.

But now it's different, with the support of Li Xianzhen's family, coupled with the one-sidedness of Jiang Lianxun and all the directors under Gu Beiming's instructions, although the time is relatively short, it is already a well-known fact that he sat on the first throne of the Gu family. And no matter how much my father hollowed out his mind and asked himself to step down, he was powerless to turn things around. However, the thought of doing so would not only get Beichen's permanent support, but also break my father's heart. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he smiled calmly as he stared at Shirley intently.

"Sherry Cui. ”

"If I heard me right, you're Cui Xueli, although we haven't met, but the only mutual friend between us has mentioned you to me countless times. Even if it is not such an embarrassing today, it may be the next sunny tomorrow, and the meeting will always be met. ”

"You, who are you. How do you know my name? Shirley froze in place, in a hurry, she didn't know where to look, so she had to look at the beautiful and strange man, and trembled at a loss. In her concept, anyone who knows her well and she knows nothing about the other person can be doom if she greets her. Shirley stood there in a daze, unable to come back to her senses for a long time, especially when the man walked into her side with a smile, she looked at the pair of deep British beautiful men like ancient Roman sculptures, and the dark and empty male eyes continued to twitch slightly, and at the moment of convergence, the constricted and dark pupils that he had forcibly endured became more and more disordered, and the chaotic ripples gradually condensed into quiet sadness.

"Why don't you invite me to sit down and have a drink? If you're afraid of burning money, use this card of mine." Gu Beiming inhaled lightly, slowly hooking the corners of his lips dyed with a layer of silver frost, and such a reluctant smile was extremely unnatural no matter how he looked at it.

"I don't know you, but you know my name. I'm afraid there's nothing worse in this world. ”

Shirley was so nervous that she couldn't speak incoherently, her gaze moving swiftly under her violently trembling eyelashes in the empty air.

She stood facing him, her body trembling slightly, and at that moment even the palms of her clenched hands were soaked with a layer of fine sweat.

"I'm sorry, but I still have something to attend to. Besides, I'm not in the mood to get to know anyone or make friends again. Sorry, I'm missing, but if Yaxing is still around, go find the girl in this bar, I don't think my personality is suitable to please anyone. After Shirley finished speaking, she had to bypass Gu Beiming's body and leave.

At that moment, under the golden magnesium light of the dawn, Shirley's body became more and more pale in the swirling golden dust. Gu Beiming turned his face away, his steps froze slightly, but soon he turned around, and with the elegant and arrogant smile that stained his lips like a crumpled Roland, he tightened her delicate side face step by step.

He grabbed her hand.

"Pleasing me, what kind of mess are you going on in your head?"

"Don't you want to know who I'm here for? But don't worry, I'm not the wine bag and rice bag man you call me, and of course I don't have that superficial fancy thinking. So now you're not curious about my identity?"

"I shouldn't be curious, I won't be curious, I don't even dare to think about it. This is the idea that I was instilled in Qingyi by those students of different levels. ”

Shirley turned her back to him, and in the cold backlight, she reflected Jin Bo's eyes as if blood was dried. The wind gently blew through her lonely eyes, and she turned her face sideways, leaving his thin back to him, and the dazzling light flew on her thin body like a jump. For a moment, she was as quiet and cold as a holy angel. Although from her and the girl, or from her prejudice against Qingyi, he could keenly perceive that this was not a really simple girl.

"Gu Beichen told me that he would come back to see you again when he sorted out his mood, the first time we met, I forgot to introduce myself, I am his best friend when he comes out of Qingyi. ”

"Friend, but I've never heard him mention any friends. Shirley's eyes widened, still bewildered, looking at this more handsome and three-dimensional face that had no resemblance to Beichen.

"Ahem. Gu Beiming took out a Chanel silk scarf from his jacket pocket, wiped his mouth gently, and then opened the conversation again like a brother next door, and said leisurely.

"It's not important, what matters is what you're going to do? I'd like to hear your thoughts more than Beichen, and plan to make a living in such a dark place like the beautiful lady who just walked out of here? I think no matter what kind of identity you have, as long as you stay in the city where you live together, you still have to meet after all, don't you really want to see him again? In my opinion, talking about such a nutritious love will not delay you much time at all, on the contrary, you can still be full of vitality? The most important thing is that one of you is the pretentious Shirley, and the other is the young master Beichen who doesn't care about anything, this love is already very beautiful. ”

Gu Beiming didn't continue to speak, he only glanced at Shirley lightly. And put the journal he had brought with him on the table.

"Look through it when you're bored. I always feel like you don't seem to be able to slip away from this debt easily. ”

"You don't have to think about my intentions. ”

"If you didn't have any intentions, you wouldn't have mustered up the courage to please Beichen in the first place, so since you've worked so hard, I don't think what you crave is a memory. ”

"Besides, even the most miserable time, you all came together. I don't think it's really the best time for you to let go and say goodbye. Have you ever thought about messing up a good relationship, and you are also responsible for this? Why do you still want to turn a blind eye to that frustrated life?"

Shirley still didn't answer.

"Seeing that you are holding a box of luggage, it is really possible that you will not leave Heidelberg again. ”

The two of them looked at each other face to face for a while, neither of them touched the wine glass, Shirley looked at the restless wine with difficulty, and Gu Beiming looked at Shirley who was staring at the wine glass and meditating.

Shirley didn't expect that this slightly older handsome man would take the initiative to say such a confession to her. At least, in her eyes, the super-level people around Gu Beichen would not communicate with others in a calm tone at all. Besides, that man has been standing not far away from the time when she and her sister quarreled just now, if it is Beichen's friend, he should take a video and send it to Beichen happily, and say how bad he is in private.

"No, Miss Shelly Cui, what are you thinking? It's only been a long time, don't tell me, you can't remember his face anymore. However, I can't remember that I can still get acquainted with each other, but before that, you have to answer me a question first, is there really no more possibility between you and him? If you're angry with him, then I can also sincerely apologize to you on his behalf. It's just that I hope you can think about it carefully, after all, there are really not many such solid-eyed fools in this world, and he happens to be stupid and hot-blooded. ”

"Yes, that's right, I'm ready to start over. Even if I can't completely take him out of my mind, I believe that time can heal everything, because it is more terrible than not being loved and not being trusted, and he actually tested me in such a tormenting way to the extreme, am I a touchstone? I think he pretended to cry poor, so that I could see that even if we are together in the future, there will always be a layer of separation. So even if I desperately want to see him, I will persuade myself to forget about the photos, but don't worry, with my stubbornness, I can still do it. Besides, the fool you just mentioned was a fool who had been held in the palm of my hand for so long, and when he let go, he still had to torture himself in every possible way not to try to let go. But hot-blooded, there is a mother who chooses the most expensive things whether she likes it or not, maybe Gu Beichen just temporarily chose the cheap but dazzling me. When the time is right, or when my face gets old, he might. ”

"He doesn't, don't you know him better than I do? Although in his usual style, he once had no secret history in Qingyi, and it seemed to me that it was just an adult game imitated by children for the sake of prestige. If he is really as unbearable as you say, then there is someone else between you who has entered his heart like you. ”

Gu Beiming shook all over, he coughed deeply in pain, and when he looked at Shirley's face that slowly turned his face again, his hand exerted a slight force, and his fingers sank deep into the back of her hand.

"But then again. He shook the dark green bottle that shimmered in the light gray magnesium light, and saw that Shirley's throat twitched slightly, and a sincere smile was dyed in his starry eyes.

Watching the sweet wine slowly flow between Shirley's transparent lips, he bowed his head politely.

"I guess I'm right, you're really interested in him. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so skillfully analyzed from the standpoint of two people. Just now I thought you were a stubborn character that couldn't be shaken, but after hearing it, I realized that you didn't have confidence in yourself, so you lost patience with us Beichen. ”

Under the crimson light of dawn, looking at Shirley who was slightly raised in her eyebrows and her stubborn eyes flashed with an uncertain halo under the slightly frowning eyebrows, Gu Beiming smiled and tilted her head and asked for a cup of sweet Pinot Noir for Shirley again.

"We're Beichen?" Shirley startled.

Gu Beiming didn't rush to respond to her, on the contrary, he just said to himself: "It seems that this really responds to the love philosophy'When people first fall in love, their hearts are extremely innocent, they have no selfish thoughts, and they only know how to love each other with all they have." Especially in the world of you young people, love can be seen as the highest meaning of life. ”

The wind blew the girl's broken hair with pink gray crystals, and at that moment, except for silently meeting Gu Beiming's gaze, Shirley couldn't say anything to refute.

The gentle gaze also fell on Gu Beiming's hidden painful eyes, he lowered his head, stretched out his finger and touched his extremely lonely pale pink lips.

At that moment, he was firm in a certain idea, and he would no longer be claustrophobic and watch from the wall, and his eyes flashed Gu Beichen's helpless and urgent eyes again and again. But it's more of his regret that he didn't keep Tae-hee.

"What are you going to say? I don't really have much time to spend here, because as you just saw, I'm going to have to go all over the world looking for that girl. That's the most important thing for me, I'm going to take her home. ”

"Don't worry, I won't get in the way of your business. But if you can, please go back to your original trajectory as soon as possible. Because that fool is looking for you all over the world like you are looking for that girl now. ”

"What did you say?" Shirley stared at him intently.

"Even if you're telling the truth, where did you hear that? and between you and him. ”

"I said, I am his all-knowing friend, besides, you and I must meet in a foreign country, this is completely my father's fault, Beichen and I are very clear on this issue, if it weren't for the recent Gu family because of some business and internal reasons, we wouldn't have made you lose confidence so much, but the past and those who should have come over are already on the way. Now I mean, you can ask for it, and I'm here to do what I'm supposed to do for us. Beichen and I don't want to mess up something so important again. And as for Beichen's departure and return to the Gu family, I apologize to you again, all of this is completely due to my personal conflict with Elder Gu. I don't want you to be victims. ”

Regarding Gu Beiming's sudden appearance, as well as the abrupt and earnest persuasion, Shirley was speechless for a while.

Under the dazzling neon, the smiling face was not as warm as an angel, but it was not cold. And he looked back at her in a daze, his neat suit clinging to his wide and narrow waist, and a faint red light dotted the lips that pretended to be warm but could not hide the sadness. When the thousands of lights in his body and the neon on the head pool echoed the finch, he was like being locked in the most lively place with a spell to continue his cold life.

"I really didn't expect such warm words to come from your mouth, thank you, President Gu Beiming. However, I heard Beichen tell you the story of you and a tutor, does your father really want you to do this? Everything that happened between me and Gu Beichen is naturally the last thing that you special people do not allow. Actually, I also thought a lot during that time, compared to entering the Gu family, we made your Gu family feel unacceptable, so it would be better for him to be unable to accept me. After all, I'm not a child of a few years old, and I know all too well what it means to have a disparate marriage, and we may live in the shadow of contempt for the rest of our lives. I can not care, but I believe that Beichen will not care. And you, President Gu Beiming, as an elder brother, you are not a living example. In fact, in Shirley's heart, he had always hoped to get Gu's permission, but every time he saw Gu Beichen, who was almost out of breath by despair, Shirley realized how ridiculous her thoughts were.

The glass of the window was shimmering brightly, and even Shirley's fingertips shimmered with colorful waves.

"When it's hard to make a decision, don't think too much about it, just think about tomorrow. If you need a reason to return to Gu Beichen's side, just like ordinary students are concerned about the future, this is also the most feasible way. You're so smart that you should know that I can sit in front of you for more than a thousand reasons. If it weren't for Beichen, you wouldn't have seen me at all. ”

toilet

Shirley looked at the ponytail standing in front of the mirror secretly, and at that moment, she silently made up her mind. The thought of seeing Beichen immediately when she went back made her feel as excited as the clear waters of the Aegean Sea with surging golden pearls.

Shirley slowly walked out of the bar behind Gu Beiming, and Shirley slowly turned her head and bowed deeply to the place where her sister had worked for many years, although this place must have carried a lot of painful memories for her sister. But for her, the meeting is already worth thanking.

"Thank you for taking me home, if it weren't close to midnight, I think I'd have asked you to go up for a drink before leaving, so please be careful on the way. ”

The white mist diffused in the moonlight was as light as a lonely smoke, and gradually the hazy white eyes slowly converged into one place and then condensed into a dazzling dark white pillar of light.

"Is this your sister Sherman's makeshift home in Heidelberg? ”

Gu Beiming leaned out of the car window slightly, the room without lights was pitch black, especially the rusty wooden window not far away was babbling with the wind, and under the faint condensation light refracted from the glass of the window, countless silver-stained dust gently hovered in the soft and desolate white pillar of light.

Shirley quickly hung up the phone that couldn't be clicked, and she stared at the messy room for a long time. When Shirley thought that she had abandoned her mother and father and came to a cold place alone to join this equally cold sister, she felt extremely heartbroken, and tears unconsciously gushed out of her eyes.

Shirley struggled to calm her mind, and she walked into the depths of the room nervously. Maybe at this hour, she has already slept with that wine bag and rice bag. She called softly: "Sister, I'm Shirley, can I come in?" The room was quiet, and she continued to knock lightly on the door of the room, except for the door that opened with a "babbling", it was still empty.

Shirley's mood at this time is completely different from when she first arrived. She had hoped for it, but now she just didn't want to be disappointed. Having said that, in the past few years, she has woven so many lies in front of her parents that her sister is very good and her sister is very happy, and now that she sees her lies one by one, she can think that her momentary kindness will make her mother fall into the abyss of despair in an instant.

Shirley raised her voice, and this time she shouted and knocked on the door, "Sister, I'm Shirley, can you accept me to stay here for a few days? If you're too busy with work, I can take the airport bus to leave here at dawn tomorrow." ”

"Sister, you speak. You can hear me, just one sentence, then I'll come in. Listening to Shirley's whining beep, Gu Beiming, who was sitting in the driver's seat watching all this, really couldn't be indifferent again, he hurriedly pulled the car door and stepped out of the car with one foot.

"Could it be that there is no one here anymore?"

"Will come back, my sister only has such a place to stay here, she has sent photos of this address countless times, how can it be wrong?"

"You didn't know where your sister lived, so what are you going to do now, standing here aimlessly waiting for her to come back?"

"Well, yes, maybe she went to a nearby supermarket, or maybe she was partying with her friends in Heidelberg. Shirley smiled back at Gu Beiming, her hands intertwined and folded together, and then wrapped her arms around her arms, which were red from the cold and somewhat stiff.

Gu Beiming stood by the vending machine on the side of the street, he took out his wallet from his briefcase, and with a "ding dong", he placed a cup of heated caramel macchiato in Shirley's hand.

"I think I have deceived others in this way, and even deceived myself in my heart at some point, Miss Shirley is not the first time that this kind of lie has been told. ”

"No, sister, she will definitely come back. ”

"Are you so sure?"

"She'll definitely be back. ”

Looking at the faint white light in Shirley's deep eyes, Gu Beiming shook his head in a daze. But when he stared into Shirley's eyes for a long time, his eyes resurfaced as if she was sitting on the road like a child and crying at his sister's back.

"It's better not to spend the night alone in the quietest corner of an unfamiliar place, so that even if you meet the bad guys, you will be at a loss, because you are driving yourself into a dead end, and this place is another apartment building with a single family every far away. I think when I'm in danger, maybe there's no life. ”

"I'll be back, I think my sister must have a hunch, I'm waiting for her here. ”

"Well, then you can keep waiting, but I still want to remind you of one thing, do you think that the person who took all your belongings and escaped will obediently return home, waiting for you to hold her accountable? ”

Shirley stared at Gu Beiming with a puzzled expression.

"As long as my sister can come back, I won't worry about this with her, really, it's nothing compared to the reunion of the family. Shirley's face sank suddenly, and she anxiously screamed at Beiming, who had already leaned out of the car door half of her body.

Shirley looked at Gu Beiming's deep eyes, thinking of the countless ties between herself and her sister Sherman, she was a little discouraged. But she wasn't in any mood now, especially in the cold wind, her legs were so frozen that she almost didn't obey the call.

"Forget it, but let's hope everything works out the way you envisioned it. Gu Beiming said with a quiet smile.

Just then, a phone call flashed in. Gu Beiming said: "I'm sorry, I have to answer a call." Then he instinctively looked at Beichen's headpost shaking on the mobile phone screen, and at that moment his expression suddenly stiffened. Gu Beiming looked at Shirley with an expressionless face again, and he pretended to be talking on the phone with Jiang Lianxun, who had just left the bar early.

"Thank God, Director Jiang, you can think of calling me back, your family is settled, why do you have to go back in the next day or two? ”

"Director Jiang, what? Is my brother taking Director Jiang Lianxun with him on a business trip in Heidelberg?" Gu Beichen on the other side of the phone was like a monk who couldn't figure it out.

The pitch-black leaf floated past the car window, and the leaf fluttered, spinning and flying towards the other window, where he had just twisted his face.

Director Jiang is still worried about the preparations for the next cultural exchange celebration, okay, let's talk to you in detail when I return to the hotel where I stay, I think there are many things that need your help. ”

Gu Beiming was talking on the phone as he returned to the car. At the moment when he rolled up the window, he looked at the stubborn girl seriously. In the blink of an eye, Gu Beiming, who stepped on the car door violently, disappeared at the corner of this alley in an instant.

Shirley sighed, helpless and frustrated, clasped her knees and crouched deep on the cold steps.

A strong gust of wind swept by, and the white light emitted by the countless street lamps in the entire street quickly turned stronger, and the dazzling light was so dazzling that Shirley couldn't take her eyes off.

"What, is this true? Brother, you met Shirley in Heidelberg, how is she, is she thin, does she eat on time, and does she miss me, she will come back to see me, she will not stay in distant Germany. ”

A boy in love always has a hundred thousand whys in his mind, and even the other party's blinking will turn into different meanings in his heart in different situations.

"Ah, you just pretend to be Cui Xueli in your heart, and you don't have your brother and me at all?" Gu Beiming said angrily and funny, "Okay, I still have some things to do here, you should also pay attention to Director Jiang Lianxun beside you in the near future." It always feels like he's going to do something behind everyone's back. ”

"Director Jiang won't, others are really

ICE, if even he can't be trusted, I feel that everyone in the Gu clan is more motivated. ”

"Recently, the company's sales index and stock index have fallen rapidly, and I always feel as if there is a hand manipulating all this. In addition, I saw MMBC's Yoon Executive Director and CGH's Lee Tae-so dating at the bar today, and not only that, but even MMBC's Wegener Hotel has been transferred to CGH's name. I feel that the abacus in the hands of these people can't help but play too loudly, but I hope all this is a coincidence, I am overthinking. In short, Beichen, I still want to tell you thank you for staying with me, it seems that if you want to keep the company, you really need our brothers to join forces. ”

"Brother, why are you so emotionally moved today, you didn't say it before. Listening to the very lonely tone of his brother Gu Beiming on the other side of the phone, Gu Beichen stuck out his tongue into the phone cutely.

"By the way, you've been to Qingyi recently, have you gone to see your mother, I think it's necessary for you to meet Aunt Wen Suli who didn't want to see you again. Because I need you to do one more thing, just try your best to do this one well, and officially start learning management. ”

Regarding Gu Beiming's temporary decision, Gu Beichen did not expect it at all.

"What?, did my brother think that my secretary general was too unscrupulous, so he deliberately ridiculed me?"

"If you think so, I don't object to it, but I'm really tired and lonely with the Gu Group alone. At least I'm here to give me some peace of mind. ”

The sound of an alarm was heard from a distance.

"Alright, let's put the phone away, I've got an emergency here. My hostage?"

"What? hostage, ah, brother, the hostage in your mouth won't be... ”

"Toot toot. The busy sound broke into Gu Beichen's ears. "Really. ”

Shirley suddenly remembered that Gu Beiming had deliberately emphasized the idea of safety just now, Shirley stomped her feet uneasily and looked around in the small room, and there was a strange reason in this dilapidated room under the bleak moonlight. Just then, a crisp whistle pierced the silence of the night, and Shirley gently pushed the half-hidden door open a thin slit. As a result, he saw a group of drunkards waving at him unscrupulously. Apparently, the men had noticed her, and while Shirley was hurrying to close the door, one of them was actually joking on the hapless girl. "Little girl, do you want to accompany your master for a few fun. Don't hide, I see you, why do you want to play hide and seek. ”

"Sister, come back soon. Hurry up, don't leave me here alone. Shirley drew a cross on her chest, and she cried bitterly as she crawled to the window as the white light gradually dissipated like foam.

Seeing that Shirley didn't react, those people scolded and left. Although those filthy scoldings gradually faded away, the fear in her heart still could not subside, maybe just like the meaning of Gu Beiming's words, she really couldn't wait endlessly.

And at this moment, the royal blue Bugatti that Gu Beiming had just driven away drove away from the corner at a gallop, and through the window, Gu Beiming calmly looked at Shirley with a frightened face.

"I'm sorry for taking a very important phone call and missing me for so long. Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, wouldn't you mind staying at my friend's hotel? ”

Looking at the Bugatti parked steadily outside the window.

Shirley covered her mouth and nodded vigorously.

Cui Xueli followed Gu Beiming into the Haoting Wegener, and the bright light at that moment made Shirley blink. Looking at the splendid and elegant decoration of the luxurious hall, Shirley was as dumbfounded as a village girl who had entered the city for the first time. Even the Sistine relief fresco above her head was enough to dazzle her.

For the poor at the bottom of society, this is really like a paradise on earth that everyone yearns for.

In the spinning music, Shirley hid behind Gu Beiming, and just as her face was about to touch Gu Beiming's shoulder, Gu Beiming stretched out her hand and gently pushed her.

"This is the key to room 933. ”

After speaking, Gu Beiming put the key in the palm of Shirley's flat palm.

Shirley gently pushed open the door, looking at the text messages sent by her mother on the phone screen, and there were still countless reminders that she had not answered. Shirley put down her half-packed luggage and slowly squatted down by the coffee table.

"Sheman called, she said she would never come back, it seems that she really let us go to live a good life alone, and in the future, Dad's medicine expenses will depend on our mother and daughter, it's cruel, sorry daughter, of course, if you make the same choice as Sheman, Mom and Dad won't blame you. ”

Tears welled up in her eyes, but Shirley still pretended to be calm and packed her few bags.

"Daughter, everything is fine with you in Germany. I know you've read my diary and left me a long letter on the title page, saying that you're going to work hard to make your way and then pick us up and reunite with your sister and brother-in-law. What about Gu Beichen, didn't you say that you would bring him back to show us if you had the chance? Did you break up?"

Shirley, who was stacking snacks and milk in the refrigerator, paused slightly, replied to a message, and was busy sorting it out again.

"I'll go to the bank early tomorrow morning and get all the money back. ”

Shirley took her phone and thought about it, and then withdrew the message that had just been successfully sent.

"Don't worry, no matter what ridiculous decisions my sister makes. I still took out a large part of my pocket money and handed it to her. And I also told her that this was all my mother's savings, and I wanted to save a decent dowry for her. But now, she seems to be in some trouble, but don't worry, it's just financial difficulties, and she and her brother-in-law still love each other very much. ”

Shirley's mother on the other end of the phone knew what kind of suffering was behind Shirley's lies, and at that moment she could imagine that her daughter, who was obviously suffering in her heart but kept comforting her, might still have tears on her face. Thinking of this, she was very distressed.

"I'm sorry, I only have so much in my hands, maybe no matter how I wash the dishes and clean the corridor, I won't be able to prepare a decent dowry for you in a short time. If I had known that this was the result, it would have been better ... ”

Shirley could also feel her mother's guilt, she smiled happily, and replied again: "I will look at the dowry, and today I also met my own brother in Heidelberg, although he looks so handsome that he does not eat fireworks in the world, but he has a sincere and gentle heart." It turned out that he was two completely different people from what I imagined. ”

Uncontrollably tears fell down one by one.

"Hello Miss Cui Xueli, I am Yin Hao, the senior housekeeper assigned to you above. ”

"Leave it at the door, thank you. ”

Shirley couldn't hold back her tears, she pressed the phone screen and left a sentence in the text message box after emptying the content: "I'm sorry, Mom." I shouldn't have left you there, and I came here alone. ”

Shirley's mother was slightly stunned, in the intensive care unit, she stood by Shirley's father's bedside like a sculpture, reluctant to be busy day and night, and now she is as thin as a piece of paper.

She watched Shirley's father's condition deteriorate dramatically under her care, and she watched him fall asleep for nearly 20 hours. Shirley's mother calmly rubbed the thin wrinkles at the corners of her sleepy eyes.

If Shirley is let go, maybe the two daughters will not see any of them in her husband's limited time. She had a premonition of such thoughts, just like this time at the moment when she was most helpless in the face of expensive self-financed drugs, she also immediately understood that she and he were going to wave goodbye after all. Even if she saved him from bankruptcy this time, what about the next time the crisis comes? And he's like a timer that can be detonated at any time. But she never regretted letting Shirley go, and she just nodded lightly as Shirley pushed her to make herself a delicious eggplant box as usual. Although that bad premonition had also passed through her mind.

The moonlight shining through the glass twinkled like stars on the ceiling.

While the doctors and nurses were busy, the light at the end of the hallway dimmed after several violent deflagrations.
