Chapter 264: Falling Dream
When You Jinlan opened her eyes, Gao Jin was not by her side. She struggled to sit up www.biquge.info and then shouted blankly, "Mr. Gao?"
The room was silent, and no one answered.
You Jinlan rubbed her eyes and slowly moved off the bed.
Soft down slippers wrapped around the soles of her feet, making her feel very comfortable. She walked to the bathroom door and saw a little moisture left on the mirror on the wall. Apparently, Gao Jin had only used the bathroom not long ago.
She turned her head to look at the table clock on the cabinet, it was just eight o'clock.
"What is Gao Jin doing when he goes out so early?" You Jinlan thought groggily as she turned on the faucet and rinsed her mouth.
"Yesterday was too much of a toss, it scared people to death, but fortunately there was K1. After rinsing her mouth, she continued to apply cleanser to her face. "If I had to call the emergency number, I'd be crazy and I wouldn't know how to talk to the doctor. ”
After You Jinlan washed away the foam on her face, suddenly her whole person froze. She remembered what Gao Jin said to her in the hospital, "I have something to say to you." ”
This sentence stuck to her mind like nasty chewing gum, and she couldn't shake it off. She sat down on the toilet with a long sigh.
After returning from the hospital, Gao Jin didn't say anything to You Jinlan. He had a dinner full of concern, and rarely even talked to Nan Zeyu and his wife during the banquet. Fortunately, there is a witty moon Shuluo with him, otherwise this dinner would have been too embarrassing.
After eating, Gao Jin returned to his room, and then kept on the phone. In the end, he told You Jinlan that he was too sleepy, so he went to bed. You Jinlan waited all night in fear, and didn't wait for Gao Jin to "say something to her".
"Forget it, maybe he's just worried about his daughter, it's that I'm thinking too much. You Jinlan finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom. After a slow and methodical treatment, she began to apply makeup.
The woman in the mirror makes her both familiar and strange, familiar is her silhouette, and strange is the sense of luxury brought by a prosperous life.
"After the revenge is over, can I still live like this? or go back to my old 9-to-5?" You Jinlan's hand paused, and she suddenly realized that she hadn't remembered her husband's face for a long time.
"Let's take it one step at a time. You Jinlan blinked, and put on makeup again.
"Drip, drip, drip. "There was a rapid ringing on the phone. She glanced at the screen, which was the alarm clock set the day before, reminding her to prepare flowers to see Gao Xiangqi.
You Jinlan turned off the alarm clock and thought sullenly: Gao Jin must have gone to see Gao Xiangqi in advance, then there is no need for her to prepare flowers, and Gao Jin will definitely not forget to bring this.
You Jinlan finished putting on her makeup and glanced at her phone again. A strong thought tempted her: call Dai Tian.
The situation of her mother hanging up the phone continued to come to her mind, and she remembered her brother's 1.3 million funding gap, and suddenly felt suffocated. "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have given those 200,000 so happily last time, and raised their appetite!" You Jinlan thought with annoyance.
"Will Dai Tian help me this time?" You Jinlan picked up her mobile phone and dialed Dai Tian's number. But she waited until the voice system prompted that no one answered, and she didn't wait for Dai Tian's voice. She thought for a moment, then opened her mailbox and wrote a short email. As she was about to click send, she hesitated and deleted the email. "Dai Tian has already helped me once, maybe he deliberately didn't answer the phone today. She thought discouragedly.
"Haha!" There was a burst of laughter outside the window, and You Jinlan stood up curiously and looked downstairs.
It's snowing.
The fluttering snowflakes are like delicate and transparent elves, sprinkling endless romantic foam to the world. The wind blew in no direction, blowing snowflakes flying arbitrarily, and also blowing up You Jinlan's heart.
Of course, Yu Jinlan had seen snow, but it seemed to be many years ago. "How long has it been since it snowed in Morda?" she couldn't remember. In fact, since she gave away her first child, she has become a little forgetful, and she can't remember many things.
It's not so much that I can't remember, it's that I don't care. She thought to herself and laughed.
Outside the window, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground, and the deep and shallow footprints were like blooming flowers. Several of Wan Guohou's subordinates were building snowmen and having snowball fights, happy like children.
"Knock knock knock. "There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in. You Jinlan turned to face the door and said.
Pushing the door in, it was the moon that fell. She put her hand on the doorknob with a warm smile on her face, "Are you sleeping well?" ”
"It's good. You Jinlan replied. With the increase in the number of contacts with Wan Guohou and his party, she gradually became familiar with the general personality of this group of people, and chatting became easier. "It's a beautiful view. She pointed out the window, "It's like a world of ice and snow." ”
Yue Shuluo pursed her lips and smiled, "Miss You likes it, so stay a few more days." ”
You Jinlan immediately thought of Gao Jin's face, she smiled reluctantly, and decided not to answer this conversation. "Is it time for breakfast?"
"Yes, I'm here to invite Miss You downstairs for dinner. Yue Shuluo pretended not to notice that the other party was changing the topic, "Hou Ye and Director Nan's family have arrived at the restaurant. ”
You Jinlan nodded, "Then let's go." She grabbed her phone, followed the moon, and left the room.
After breakfast, a group of people went their separate ways: Nan Zeyu took Tao Baihe to the police station; Nan Zejiao was in a bad mood and went back to the room to continue sleeping; Wan Guohou went to the study, and a guest came to visit him.
Only Yue Shuluo stayed to accompany You Jinlan. "Miss You, I wanted to ask you something yesterday. ”
Yue Shuluo's words made You Jinlan feel nervous inexplicably, "What kind of thing is it?"
Yue Shuluo smirked, "I want to ask if you are free today?"
You Jinlan looked at each other inexplicably, "...... What's wrong?"
"Do you want to go to the Metropolitan Art Expo?" "There is a rich collection of art, including oil paintings, of course. I've always wanted to check it out, I wonder if you're interested?"
"Of course not interested. You Jinlan thought to herself, but she almost immediately remembered Wan Guohou's gaze that could almost see through people's hearts. "If I refuse, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of Yueshuluo. In case she told Wan Guohou, it would not be good to blow the wind into Gao Jin's ears again. ”
With that in mind, she made up her mind.
"Of course I want to go!" she said enthusiastically, "I've always wanted to go to the exhibition, but I'm too embarrassed to tell you, and Xiangxiang is sick again......
"Mr. Gao is in the hospital, don't worry. He specially instructed me to accompany you to relax. Yue Shuluo smiled and said, "I'll arrange it right away, Miss You, please take a little rest, and we'll set off in a while, OK?"
A few minutes later, You Jinlan got into the car, driving Z2, and Yue Shuluo sat in the back seat with her. You Jinlan wanted to inquire about Gao Jin's situation when she went out in the morning, but she was afraid that Yue Shuluo would see the "subtle" changes between her and Gao Jin.
She was hesitating, but Yueshuluo took the initiative to speak. "Miss You, Mr. Gao cares about you very much. He left early in the morning, saying he was afraid of waking you up. Yue Shuluo deliberately smiled ambiguously, "You guys have a really good relationship." ”
You Jinlan was a little embarrassed, "I slept late last night, and I didn't hear him go out in the morning." ”
"Is it too cold in the room? It snowed in the middle of the night last night, and the temperature was relatively low. ”
"No, no, no. The room was very comfortable, but I had a little insomnia and was sick. You Jinlan explained, "It's been a lot of years, and it's been going on for a while. ”
"Have you ever been to the doctor? Insomnia is not a small problem. Yue Shuluo blinked. The rippling water waves in those big eyes made You Jinlan feel a little awkward, as if she was a man. Oh, she reacted, Tao Baihe mentioned to her that Yue Shuluo was the manager of Gao Jin's Japanese restaurant before, and naturally she had seen the world and knew how to charm men.
The identity of the moon before the fall of the moon......
You Jinlan's heart suddenly tightened, and she remembered the situation where Dai Tian had described to her that her daughter fell from the building.
"Miss You?" Yue Shuluo looked at her suspiciously.
Only then did You Jinlan realize that she was distracted. She smiled awkwardly, then shifted slightly.
"Are you still a little sleepy? If you're not feeling well, we're not going to see the show. Yue Shuluo said thoughtfully.
"No, I just thought of something else. You Jinlan said that she decided to try the method that Dai Tian had taught her - a mixture of truth and falsehood. "Actually, I had a nightmare last night. ”
"What did you dream about?"
"I dreamed that I had fallen from a tall building and was covered in blood. A lot of people stood and watched me, but no one called for emergency services. I was in a hurry, and I woke up in a panic. You Jinlan carefully observed Yue Shuluo's expression, "It can't be said that it is night, it should be said that it is early this morning." ”
"It's scary. Yue Shuluo said sympathetically, "Maybe you kicked the quilt, or your sleeping position was not very good, so you had a nightmare?"
"I don't know. You Jinlan didn't see anything abnormal from Yue Shuluo's face, and was immediately a little disappointed.
"No wonder I see you're in a bit of a bad mood today. Yue Shuluo said, "I thought you had a conflict with Mr. Gao." ”
You Jinlan was startled, and quickly laughed a few times to hide it, "No, how can it be? I just had a nightmare and felt uncomfortable." She rolled her eyes and said, "Last year, I saw a news that a waiter fell from a tall building at a Japanese restaurant in Modu, and it seemed like ...... Died a terrible death. ”
"It's March, right?" said Tsukisora calmly, "I worked at that store, and I was the store manager at the time. She suddenly smiled at You Jinlan, "Miss You may not know that that the store was opened by Mr. Gao, and I used to be Mr. Gao's subordinate." ”
You Jinlan was dumbfounded, she didn't expect Yue Shuluo to admit her previous identity so calmly. This made her feel quite troubled for a while, and she couldn't think of a response.
"It seems that Mr. Gao didn't tell you. Yue Shu smiled, "He probably forgot about that." -- Of course, that's not a pleasant thing. ”
"Can you tell me what's going on?" You Jinlan put on a curious gossip face.
"Actually, I don't know much. Yue Shuluo replied, "That waitress is usually lively and cheerful, and she is also a very nice person, but she seems to have been drinking that day." The main thing is that I wasn't in the box where she worked when she had an accident, so I didn't know much about it. ”
You Jinlan was silent for a few seconds and said, "She's so pitiful. ”
"Yes, I later heard that her parents were devastated. After the public security organs intervened, Mr. Gao compensated a sum of money, and in the end, it can be regarded as a settlement. Yue Shuluo's tone was unpleasant, "This girl is not very old, but she is very sensible, I have a good impression of her, alas, I don't know why such a tragic thing happened later." ”
You Jinlan said bitterly, "You left the Japanese restaurant after that?"
"Almost, I just met Master Hou and left with him. Looking at it this way, I'm quite sorry for Mr. Gao's cultivation of me. Yue Shuluo laughed, and a wisp of sweet shyness appeared on her ivory-like white face, "Actually, if you ask me about these things, it is better to ask Mr. Gao directly, he must know better than me, after all, that night, Mr. Gao was in the box where Ye Yingjun had an accident." By the way, Ye Yingjun is the waiter who jumped off the building. ”
You Jinlan's heart was beating suddenly, "Forget it, I just had a nightmare to think about it, and it's not a very important thing." ”
Yue Shuluo glanced at her, "Miss You, did you stay in the Demon Capital before you came to Qianfeng Academy to teach?"
"Not really. You Jinlan hurriedly moved out of Dai Tianjiao's words, "I followed my teacher everywhere and went to many places in the country. ”
"I remember that Miss You's teacher was Frank Motherwell? Then you must have been abroad a lot? Have you seen a lot of high-profile exhibitions? It's really enviable. ”
You Jinlan nervously grabbed the bracelet on her wrist - it was a New Year's gift from Gao Jin. She couldn't tell what Yue Shuluo meant, so she had to bite the bullet and say, "Fortunately, I don't go to many places, I'm just a nerd." ”
"Awesome. Yue Shuluo still smiled, "I admire people who read a lot the most." To tell you the truth, I also like to read, and when we return to the magic capital, we will have time to go to the bookstore together?"
"Okay. You Jinlan forced herself to squeeze out a smile. "The people around Wan Guohou are very difficult to deal with. She thought to herself, "Am I acting too suspicious?" or do they all like to interrogate people?"
"There's plenty of time for us to walk around a little bit more. Yue Shuluo smiled and said, "Mr. Gao probably wants to be alone with Xiangxiang for a while, but I'm afraid that you will be bored alone." ”
"I'm really bothering you. You Jinlan said politely. She turned her head to look out the window at the snowy world, and felt nothing but a nightmare: the courage and determination for revenge seemed to have become a bracelet on her wrist, boots on her feet, and a designer bag on her knees. The closer she got to the truth, the more confused she felt.
