Chapter 572: The Past
Li Zihan, who had already left, was also very curious, he wanted to know what was in the box, which could make the man's face change in an instant, and he immediately changed his attitude and agreed to the marriage.
As soon as he returned home, Li Zihan immediately asked Gu Meiyun about the contents of the box.
"It was a necklace, something he gave me back then, but after all these years, I don't know if he can still remember me. Gu Meiyun only said a simple sentence, and she didn't want to say it anymore, as if she didn't want to mention the original matter.
"No wonder Xu Hua was so surprised to see the things here, and immediately agreed to get married, and finally he said that he would come to visit you. Although Li Zihan had doubts, he didn't continue to ask, and only told Gu Meiyun about the results of this trip.
"I see. Gu Meiyun sighed, closed her eyes and leaned on the sofa, not knowing what she was thinking, and at this moment, the sound of a car suddenly came from outside the door.
"Old lady, there is a man named Xu Hua outside the door who said to visit you. The servant's voice made Gu Meiyun's eyes open violently, and her cloudy eyes were full of shock. It was a long time before he spoke out and asked the servant to invite him in.
"Grandma, can I help you?"
Li Zihan naturally saw the shock in Gu Meiyun's eyes, and when he saw Gu Meiyun trembling and trying to stand up, Li Zihan walked to Gu Meiyun's side and helped the old lady up.
"It's really you!"
Xu Hua, who had just entered the door, screamed in surprise when she saw Gu Meiyun's face, and hurriedly came to Gu Meiyun's side, grabbed her other hand, and sent her back to the sofa to sit down.
"If you're not in good health, you don't have to get up, I don't need you to stand up to greet me. ”
is different from the stubbornness and immaturity when he was a child, Xu Hua in front of him has now become a cold and mature man in England, and his face is no longer as cute as when he was a child.
"Hua Zai, I haven't seen you for so many years, you have grown so tall?" Saying that, Gu Meiyun trembled and stretched out her hand to touch Xu Hua's face, Xu Hua seemed to understand what she meant, and quickly took her hand over and put it on her face.
"Yes, Hua Zi, who was always bullied back then, has grown up, and thanks to you, I can stand up bravely. Xu Hua's voice was a little choked, and there seemed to be tears rolling in his eyes, but they hadn't fallen yet.
Li Zihan saw the two of them quit the living room with such interest and came to the kitchen to boil water and make tea. When he returned to the living room again, Xu Hua and Gu Meiyun had already sat on the sofa again and chatted about the past.
"Grandma Gu, why did you suddenly leave without saying a word? Could it be that something happened?" Xu Hua looked at Gu Meiyun in front of him and asked the question that had been buried in his heart all these years.
"Well, I settled there back then, but then because my husband was sick, we moved here to treat him, and then I settled here and never returned. Speaking of that year, Gu Meiyun always felt sorry for Xu Hua and his sister.
"What's going on with that marriage?, has the company encountered any problems?" Xu Hua said, glancing at Li Zihan beside him, his eyes dark.
"Alas, my husband was not in good health, and he put a lot of effort into this company, but in the end, the business was sluggish and gradually declined. This company is the only thing my husband left me with memories before he died, and it is also the country that he has earned with half his life, and I don't want it to be ruined in my hands. In desperation, I had to think of marriage. ”
As she spoke, tears flowed from Gu Meiyun's cloudy eyes, and her voice was mixed with too much helplessness and pain, which made Xu Hua frown unconsciously.
"Grandma Gu, I will help your company through this crisis, don't be sad. ”
Xu Hua's deep voice came lightly, sounding as if the master was careless, but it inexplicably had a convincing power, which made Li Zihan's tense nerves relax immediately.
Xu Hua chatted with Gu Meiyun for a while, and then said goodbye to Gu Meiyun and left the Li family's old house.
Feng, who was waiting at the door, saw Xu Hua come out, and quickly opened the back door to let him sit in, and then he also got into the car. Seeing that Xu Hua in the rearview mirror seemed to be very tired, he finally couldn't help but ask.
"Boss, so you still agreed to the marriage?"
Hearing this, Xu Hua's eyelids moved, but he didn't open them, but he didn't seem to have the intention of speaking, so Feng retracted his thoughts and drove his car silently.
"Why don't I want to refuse a marriage?"
Suddenly hearing Xu Hua's voice, Feng seemed to be frightened, he didn't expect Xu Hua to really answer him, he thought that Xu Hua would remain silent all the time.
Feng quickly cleaned up his doubts, and was about to ask again when Xu Hua's faint voice came from behind again.
"I also want my marriage to be based on love, not some so-called marriage and interests, but Gu Meiyun has a great favor to me, how can I refuse?" Xu Hua said as he reached out and rubbed his swollen and aching temples, feeling that his head was a little uncomfortable.
"If you have a great favor, you can just help them save the company, you don't need to get married, why do you want to agree to the marriage?" Feng was even more confused, he didn't know if it was Xu Hua's confusion or his brain was not good. There was no way to understand what Xu Hua meant.
"Gu Meiyun is a strong person, she doesn't allow herself to owe a little to others, but at the same time she is shrewd, otherwise why did she take out the necklace after talking about the marriage first?" Xu Hua opened her eyes and stared straight at the hand holding the steering wheel with the wind, "I have seen the shrewdness in her eyes in the villa just now, she is so smart, just like back then." ”
The last sentence seemed to be regret and praise, so that the wind could not figure it out, so he could only drive his car silently and shut his mouth. Xu Hua didn't continue to say more, just faintly withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes again, holding his chin and not knowing what he was thinking.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Li Nuan came out of the room listlessly, and when he just took out a bottle of milk from the kitchen and was about to drink it, he looked up and saw Li Zihan, who was supposed to be busy in the company, sitting on the sofa in a daze. After hesitating, Li Nuan still walked to Li Zihan's side.
Feeling that the sofa next to him had sunk down slightly, Li Zihan's godless eyes slowly became a little angry.
"What are you thinking?" Li Nuan opened the bottle of milk and took a sip, her voice obviously made the muscles of the man around her tense, Li Zihan seemed a little unnatural, and the air was filled with a strange atmosphere.
"Nuan Nuan, have you really thought about getting married?" I remember you told me that you liked that one called Liu Zhan, but now you ......" The words came to an abrupt end, Li Zihan frowned and looked at Li Nuan with an expressionless face, slightly worried.
"Well, I figured it out. Li Nuan swallowed the last mouthful of milk, and when she stood up, she threw the milk carton in her hand into the trash can next to the coffee table, and didn't look back.
"As for Liu Zhan, I don't like him anymore, it's just an impulse, I see so many people every day, and some of them are also impulsive, and they will get better soon, so don't worry about this, it'll be fine in a few days. Li Nuan's fingers hanging beside her trembled slightly when she said this, and if you took her hand at this time, you would find that her entire hand was ice.
"It's good if you figure it out, I'm afraid that you'll get into the horns, and I'll be relieved to know that you're okay. Li Zihan couldn't find that his sister, who was swaggering in the past, was surprisingly quiet at this time, and thought that Li Nuan was really fine.
"Well, if nothing happens, I'll go upstairs. Li Nuan's nails tried to pinch the flesh in his palm to restrain the uncontrollable tremor in his voice, but it seemed to be too hard to know it, and the slender nails had been slightly embedded.
Without hearing the response behind her, Li Nuan stopped lingering in the living room, raised her legs and walked up the stairs, just as she was about to take the first step, Li Zihan's apologetic voice sounded from behind.
"Nuan Nuan is going to meet your fiancé at eight o'clock tonight, so you have to go back and clean up yourself. ”
The room was surprisingly quiet for a moment, Li Nuan didn't seem to hear it, but it seemed to hear it. There seemed to be a soft sigh in the air, Li Nuan's hand that grabbed the handrail of the stairs exerted a slight force, and a trace of bitterness crossed his drooping eyes, and then he continued to go upstairs with a deep sigh.
Li Zihan looked at Li Nuan's slender figure and paused slightly beside the handrail of the stairs, but then immediately continued to go upstairs as if nothing had happened, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Nuan Nuan, don't hate me, I don't want you to marry love, but my brother has no ability, and I can't protect you under my wings anymore and grow up happily, Nuan Nuan, big brother is sorry for you. Li Zihan stared at Li Nuan's back and thought in his heart, slowly hurting and helpless in his eyes.
Li Nuan, who was going up the stairs, felt the burning gaze behind him, straightened his back and stiffened, and finally when he closed the door to separate the gaze behind him, Li Nuan sat completely at the door, with two lines of tears on his face.
"Li Nuan, don't think about him, eldest brother is so spoiled, grandparents love you so much, how can you disappoint them?" With a crying voice spreading in the empty room, Li Nuan finally made up her mind to completely erase the word Liu Zhan from her heart.
Because after crying just now, Li Nuan's eyes were still slightly red and swollen, so she took out a tissue to wipe the tears off her face, and Li Nuan went to the bathroom and compressed her eyes with ice water to reduce the swelling.
Walking to the dresser and sitting down, Li Nuan took the mobile phone on the dresser and lit up the mobile phone screen, and glanced at it lightly. It's already six o'clock, and it's only two hours before she is going to see that fiancé, thinking of this, Li Nuan's fingertips holding the phone tremble a little, but she quickly cleaned up her mood.
