CHAPTER XIII

After dinner, we went out for a walk, and Xiao Yueyue has now moved to me, and my apartment is now a family of three with two people and one dog.

When we were teasing the dog in the park, a group of strangers came, all in black suits and wearing sunglasses, just like the pomp and circumstance of the underworld boss in the TV series. There was a woman in the middle of them, a middle-aged woman with a very outstanding temperament, and her well-maintained smooth skin made her look like she had no trace of age, and Gu Xizhou also saw them, and they were walking in our direction.

His brows were twisted together, silently shielding me behind him, which gave me a bad premonition.

The middle-aged woman came to us with the support of everyone, and Gu Xizhou took the lead in speaking: "Chairman." ”

The corners of the middle-aged woman's mouth rose slightly: "Xiaozhou is still so polite, I heard that you are married, you don't bring my daughter-in-law back to see me, I can only come to see you in person." ”

Gu Xizhou's expression did not change at all, and he said in a cold tone: "I will see you at the wedding." ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on the middle-aged woman's face, and she couldn't please Gu Xizhou, so she turned her gaze to me: "You are Mingyue." ”

She spoke to me in an extremely gentle voice, without the shackles of a wealthy mother-in-law. Before I could nod, Gu Xizhou had already reached out and took me into his arms, and it was the first time I saw him with such a fierce expression: "Stay away from her, otherwise, you won't even be a nominal director." ”

I don't know why he did this to his mother, but the wealthy have a lot of grievances, and it's not a big fuss. Gu Xizhou has such an attitude, and I can't take care of her, so I can only let Gu Xizhou hold me in my arms.

The corners of her mouth twitched when Gu Xizhou was angry, but she still smiled with great dignity and said, "Since you are married, you should take her to meet the elders of the family as soon as possible." ”

The meaning in Gu Xizhou's eyes was unclear, but in her eyes, it was clearly a smile. Gu Xizhou rarely mentions family matters, and naturally I don't ask more, but the two people in front of me clearly don't look like a mother and daughter.

Their confrontation finally ended with Gu Xizhou's phone ringing, his face was not very good when he answered the phone, and after answering, he stared at the woman opposite with a cruel look in his eyes: "Take your people and get out, don't appear here again, otherwise, I will let you get out of the Gu Group." ”

Even if a person with a good cultivation is a little angry at this moment: "You don't want to touch me, your father left a will." ”

Gu Xizhou's eyes were still fierce: "You just try." ”

Gu Xizhou carried me past in front of them, and no one stopped us. At this moment, the woman's appearance must be very hideous, no one can get a bargain here for Gu Xizhou, and the result of provoking him is to be cleaned up even worse.

We walked to the apartment, Gu Xizhou didn't speak all the way, and when we walked to the door, Meng Wen was already waiting there. Gu Xizhou handed me the leash and said with a complicated expression: "Zhao Wen's condition is not very good, I have to go to the hospital." ”

"I'll go with you. ”

Gu Xizhou was stunned for a moment, and then gently kissed my forehead: "Be good, wait for me at home." ”

The car was dusty, and I led Xiao Yueyue back to the apartment listlessly. We had only been living together for a few days, but suddenly I was the only one who came back, and I was a little unaccustomed to it. I secretly laughed at myself, did I get used to the life of two people so quickly? I didn't leave myself even the slightest way out, and I never even thought about what I would do if he didn't want me. In the future, there will be no more times when I am afraid of this, and I have decided to walk with him on this path, whether it is light or darkness, two people together are better than anything else.

Gu Xizhou didn't return overnight, I lay on the sofa in a daze all night, and the next day I opened my eyes and my head was groggy, I took out my mobile phone to call Gu Xizhou for the first time, his voice was very tired: "These days, I may not be able to go back, you take care of yourself." ”

"Okay, I'll send you some clothes. "Actually, I wanted to see him, he must be very tired.

"These Meng Wen will prepare. ”

I hung up the phone, and my heart was empty. Gu Xizhou must have been very tired all these years, he has to run a huge business, and he has to face the jackals, tigers and leopards around him, every step is cautious, and there is no room for sloppiness. It took two years to get the company's management rights and put the chairman on the shelf, only Gu Xizhou can do this. In the shopping mall, he is still at ease, but Zhao Wen is a headache.

Luo Feifei called and asked me to go out for a walk, but I ruthlessly rejected her: "I'm not available." ”

"Isn't it just to fall in love, look at you. "Luo Feifei is very shameful for my behavior of not being able to move when I fall in love.

"If you have the ability, you can talk about one. ”

"Let's talk. ”

Then the phone snapped and hung up. Luo Feifei is so good, she can't stand others to provoke her, and she can do anything when she provokes her.

After about five minutes, I received a message: I have taken off the order.

Luo Feifei pays attention to efficiency in doing things, and she also pays attention to efficiency when she falls in love. can hold on to Luo Feifei for so long, He Mingchuan is the first, and the position of this first boyfriend is none other than He Mingchuan.

I replied: Remember to eat.

The message quickly replied: Come on, it's better to hit the day than to take your Gu Xizhou with you.

Before I could reply, Luo Feifei had already sent the place to eat, it was Luo Mingxuan, who had been to several times before, their braised lion's head was extremely delicious, and Luo Feifei and I had to order two servings each time. A woman like the wind is the best way to describe her. Of course, I can only go to the appointment alone, Gu Xizhou must be busy at the moment.

When I arrived at the place, Luo Feifei and He Mingchuan were already waiting for me in the private room. After simply saying hello to He Mingchuan, he sat next to Luo Feifei, and Luo Feifei asked me quietly, "Where is Gu Xizhou?"

"He's been busy lately. I replied in a whisper.

"Being busy is a man's excuse, you have to be careful. Luo Feifei said that she seemed to have a lot of experience in love. I teased her: "Is He Mingchuan busy?"

Luo Feifei really ignored me anymore and went back to talk to He Mingchuan. He Mingchuan behaved very gentlemanly, and it could be seen that Luo Feifei's spring heart was a little budding.

I went to the bathroom halfway through the meal, and when I returned to the private room, Luo Feifei stared at me with an ugly face. He Mingchuan's face was also unnatural, probably because I went out halfway, and the two had a quarrel. What can quarrel on the first day of falling in love is indeed Luo Feifei's style. I sat down and poured them a drink, intending to lighten the mood, but Luo Feifei said, "What else to drink, come with me." ”

She pulled me up from my seat, and I was stumbled by her, He Mingchuan hurriedly stopped: "Don't get excited, maybe it's just a misunderstanding." ”

"Misunderstanding, the photos are all posted and there is a misunderstanding, you men really make excuses for yourself, men don't have a good thing. "In front of me, He Mingchuan is not good to say. I tugged at Luo Feifei's sleeve and asked her, "What's wrong?"

Luo Feifei stopped talking to me, and after being entangled for a while, she still took out her mobile phone and handed it to me, and there were a few shocking words on the screen: "Gu Xizhou, the general manager of the Gu family, got married in a low-key manner." "It's just the photo attached below, we obviously haven't taken it together, it's probably a photo taken in the auditorium, the bride is sitting in a wheelchair, the photo is zoomed in, you can see that the person in the wheelchair is Zhao Wen.

My hand holding the phone trembled slightly, I felt that at this moment I should say something, explain to him, he must have his reasons, in any case, this is certainly not true, I have to believe him, I must believe him......

I was in a trance all the way, Luo Feifei couldn't hear anything clearly when I said to me, there was that photo in my head, Gu Xizhou's figure, and Zhao Wen's triumphant face, until I returned to the apartment, I still didn't slow down.

Luo Feifei looked at me worriedly, and she said to me, "Call him and ask for clarification." I was silent, and Luo Feifei continued: "You once said that you were too cowardly to lose him, and now you are going to retreat again? ”

Luo Feifei is right, even if you want to die, you have to die to understand.

I took out the phone with trembling hands and dialed Gu Xizhou's number, his voice sounding tired.

I tried to make my voice as normal as possible and asked him, "Are you still busy?"

"Busy, Mingyue, what's the matter?"

"Zhao Wen, are you okay?" my voice trembled uncontrollably.

Gu Xizhou paused, but still said, "She's fine." ”

"When are you coming back?"

"Come back tomorrow, you wait for me at home. ”

"Hmm. ”

When I hung up the phone, tears couldn't help but flow down, salty and salty into my mouth, mixed with my mood at the moment, and it gave birth to a bitter taste.

Luo Feifei hugged me and said loudly: "Don't cry, don't cry, what did he say, is he sorry for you, I'll go to him......"

Luo Feifei was about to go out as she spoke, but I grabbed her and cried and said, "Don't go, he didn't say anything." ”

"Then why are you crying?" Luo Feifei stopped and asked me.

"I just heard someone call him when I hung up the phone, that voice, I remember, it was Zhao Wen, she woke up, but Gu Xizhou told me that she hadn't woken up yet, not necessarily when she would wake up, he clearly said that he would never lie to me again......"

I don't know what I'm talking about, I just want to escape from this place, it's full of his breath, it's full of him, I'm going crazy to pack my things, Luo Feifei knows that he can't stop me, so he starts to help me clean up. When I walked out of the apartment, I didn't even look back. Life is probably not going back, some things are lost for the first time, in fact, they are destined, and the later look back is forced, so we will still return to the original point.

I want to leave here, but I can't take a plane, I can't take a high-speed rail, no matter what means of transportation I choose, as long as I buy a ticket with my real name, Gu Xizhou will definitely be able to find me, maybe he won't look for me, I laughed at myself, I still have such extravagant hopes at this moment. Luo Feifei took me back to He Mingchuan's hometown, which is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and it was already six o'clock in the morning when they sent me here, and I could hear the sound of chickens crowing and selling along the way. Looking out of the car window, the breakfast shops were all open, with hot buns, fried dough sticks, and congee, and there were already people lining up in front of some stores.

"It's such a great place. I said, looking outside.

Luo Feifei held my hand tightly, and I smiled at her: "I'm fine." ”

I just need to rest, a good rest.

He Mingchuan's old house is no longer inhabited, but the house is very clean and tidy, the yard is very spacious, planted with many flowers and trees, there is Tao Yuanming's pastoral life, He Mingchuan introduced us, and said with a smile: "The house is not as good as living in the city, I don't know if you are used to it." ”

I nodded: "It's already good here, I'm sorry for you." ”

He Mingchuan smiled politely: "You don't have to be polite to me, Fei Fei's business is my business." ”

Luo Feifei urged him to clean up his room, and he put down his luggage and went upstairs. The houses in the countryside are all detached houses with their own courtyards, and He Mingchuan's house is two and a half floors, and he arranged my bedroom on the second floor. After everything was arranged, he took us to a small shop nearby to eat, and the food was back, the beef was very authentic, and Luo Feifei and I ate more.

Luo Feifei originally planned to stay with me, but after I repeatedly promised her that I would take care of myself, she finally returned to City A with He Mingchuan. He Mingchuan asked his neighbors to take care of me when he left, these neighbors were very friendly, He Mingchuan said that the flowers in their courtyard bloomed so well, they usually helped take care of me, he was usually busy with work, and rarely came back.

The air in the countryside was exceptionally fresh, and I moved a deck chair and lay down in the yard, the shadows of the trees obscuring most of the sunlight, and only some dappled shadows shone on me. The April day was already a little warmer, and I squinted slightly and looked up at the sky, and it seemed that the sky here was exceptionally beautiful. In a trance, I seemed to see us in college, Gu Xizhou was always wearing a white shirt, and the day I met him, I got lost. He appeared like Prince Charming in the TV series, and took me to find my way home, and when I first saw him, I was thinking, how can there be such a good-looking boy, like coming out of a fairy tale.

At that time, it was not obvious that he was a rich boy, and he lived in school, ate in the cafeteria, and rode a bicycle like everyone else. Once I sat on the back seat of his bicycle and asked him, "Gu Xizhou, why do you like me?"

He turned his back to me and didn't speak, I couldn't see his expression clearly, I thought he wouldn't speak, but after a while he said, "Because you stayed with me, just because it was me, not because I was Gu Xizhou." I was confused by what he said, and it wasn't until I later understood Gu's status in the business world that I understood the meaning of Gu Xizhou's words, as soon as he was born, he was destined to be different from others, and extraordinary achievements must pay an extraordinary price, which is the unchanging law on the road to success. He was so lonely, and everyone approached him only because of his surname Gu, his friend, and only because of his background. Sometimes I am proud to think that I am the only existence around him, his power and status have nothing to do with me, if one day, I need to overcome obstacles with him, I can also, as long as I am with him, I am not afraid of anything. At that time, he probably felt that he couldn't protect me, and once he had a weakness in his position, he would definitely be taken advantage of, and we didn't know the results of the use. Because you understand, you are compassionate. Only now, I can't read him anymore.

I lay in a different direction on the recliner, no longer thinking about Gu Xizhou, I just wanted to sleep deeply.

When I woke up, it was already evening, and my stomach began to protest, and when He Mingchuan left, I told me where the dishes were delicious and where the dishes were distinctive, although I didn't remember all of them, but I also vaguely remembered a few. Walking out of the alley, the streets and alleys are very lively, the night market has begun to set up beaches, and barbecue stalls have begun to light fires. It is rare to eat this kind of roadside barbecue in City A, and so many stalls are not allowed on the roadside, and you can only go to the store to eat.

I just took a stroll and decided to wait until they had a fire and then come back for a barbecue. In the past, there were some such barbecue stalls at the entrance of the university, Gu Xizhou didn't like to eat these things, but he would always take me to eat them from time to time, and every time I tried my best to tempt him, he would say with a serious expression: "These things are not clean." ”

"You're bringing me with me?" I immediately retorted.

"Who told you to like it? Gu Xizhou's words made me blush. He was really nice to me at that time, probably because I didn't want his money, and he thought I was the best person. At that time, love was very simple, when you loved someone, you wanted to be good to him at all costs.

When I went to a small shop that sold sundries, I found that there were postcards inside, I used to think that these things were hypocritical, and it was very troublesome to write back and forth, and what words could be solved by making a phone call and sending a message, but now I found out that postcards can survive until now It is also reasonable, after all, there are some things that can not be said with an open mouth;

I bought a bunch of them, twenty in all. There are some attractions here, as well as old houses here, and the old atmosphere is often seen on TV, and now stepping on this land has a kind of intimate feeling.

After walking around, the sky gradually sank, I walked to a small stall and ordered a plate of shrimp, a few skewers of tofu, and a grilled fish. The boss was very enthusiastic and took a rag to wipe the stool before inviting me to sit down. This stall was set up by a young couple, the man was baking things, the woman was sitting next to him peeling potatoes, and from time to time she looked up at her husband and asked, "Do you want to help?" The man turned around and smiled: "No, you just concentrate on peeling potatoes and don't touch your hands." ”

I looked at them as if this was the kind of life I had hoped for. Two people open a husband-and-wife shop, busy together every day, and go home together after being busy, there may not be a lot of money, but there will be a lot of warmth, don't worry about cheating, only two people together.
