Chapter 43: Past Tense

(Girls' Literature)

According to the agreed time. Tao Xunran deliberately arrived a little early. Wait for her to sit in her seat. From time to time, he looked at the door. I haven't seen each other for two years. But after all, a lot happened in between. I don't know if Lamber still remembers what he looked like.

Think of it this way. Edified in the field of vision. The figure of a middle-aged woman appeared. Her outfit is fashionable and extravagant. But it's not as vulgar as a jewel. Tall and tall. I can't see a little excess bloat. Walking room. The back is straight but not rigid. The lower jaw is slightly raised. It seems that she has a gorgeous temperament, but it does not give people a sense of arrogance.

Watch this come towards you. Excellent skin care for women. A smile appeared on the corner of Tao Yanran's mouth. A woman with a temperament. Get out there from here. Grab a handful. Not for anything else. Just because this is the most prosperous area of T City. However, a woman with such an outstanding temperament. In the impression of Tao Yanran. There's only one in front of you.

Wait for the woman to sit down across from her. The surprise in her eyes flashed. Say hello to her with a smile. "Sister Lan. ”

See you Lamber today. The impression that she was wearing sunglasses when she first came in. Let Tao Yanran's mind. Suddenly another one popped out in the depths of her memory. Already a very vague impression. Who is it. For a moment, she couldn't remember.

Lamber was already sitting across from her as he spoke. Take off your sunglasses and set them aside. Reveal your face completely. looked at Tao Xunran and smiled slightly. But when I heard Tao Xunran call her "Sister Lan". There was a touch of love in his eyes. Reach out and hold her hand on the edge of the table. "Don't call me Sister Lan in the future. ”

Hear Lamber's first words when he sees him. It turned out to be a correction of his own title. Because that's what she used to be called. So Tao Xunran didn't feel that there was anything wrong. Why did you grasp this matter today? But to say that she is because she is still angry with herself. Not like that. After all, as soon as she saw herself. It's just smiling. Especially when she looked at herself just now. The love that flowed from his eyes. It's not fake.

Think about it here. Tao Xunran suddenly remembered something. looked at Lan Mo and said meaningfully. "Do you want me to change my name to Mrs. Ren? ”

Ranmer didn't mean that in the first place. Hear her think so. There was a hint of naughtiness in his eyes. So he squeezed her hand. Angry. "Where did you go? I just wanted to remind you. The age gap between us. You should call me Auntie. ”

She highlighted the age gap between the two of them. In fact, she would rather hear her call herself "Mom". But there's no rush to this. Soon we can wait for that day.

Tao Xunran heard that she meant it this way. I can't help but want to laugh. "So you're still so serious. But who told you to maintain it so well. Look at your face. I'm afraid that this aunt will call you old all of a sudden. "Even though she was only twenty-five or sixteen years old. But if she walked down the street with Lamber, who was in his forties. You'll still be treated like sisters.

"You little mouth. The most proficient in speaking. But that's not going to work. You'll have to call me Auntie in the future. Lamber said. also put on the posture of the elders.

"Okay. Aunt Lan. ”

After Tao Xunran changed his name. Lamber nodded. Then the two fell into a brief silence. After a while. Tao Yanran put down the cup in his hand. There was no longer a relaxed expression on his face that he had begun to meet.

"Lan ...... Aunt Lan. I'm calling you here today, ......," he said with a sudden hesitation.

Lamber knew the purpose of the meeting. It's for the pearl thing. But it's a sure thing. It's just a procedure that can be solved. There is nothing to discuss. So she didn't rush to mention it. Now seeing Tao Xunran, it seems that he is a little hesitant. So he looked at her suspiciously.

"Hmm. What do you want to say. ”

"I'm not actually here to talk to you about pearls today. I'm not going to bother with Izawa anymore. Something that follows. You should be approached by someone else. ”

This is the case. It was clearly unexpected. She didn't understand it even more. "What's going on. Isn't this what you've been doing all along? Now it sounds like it's gone. Could it be that Cheng Yueze sent you to a more important position. ”

mentioned Cheng Yueze. Tao Yanran's heart ached. Last night I looked at him in the eyes. That complicated unbelievable feeling. She still remembers it vividly.

"I'm leaving. ”

Hearing her say this lightly. The coffee cup in Lamber's hand fell in vain. The bottom of the cup collides with the tray. Make a crunch sound. Due to the time of falling. Not high off the table. So it's just a little bit of a spill. It splashed on the back of her hand.

Where can Lanmer care about this now. It's only been a few days. How could everything have changed so much? She was sure that Tao Xunran and Cheng Yueze had reconciled. Just when she first arrived. I learned that the two of them were indeed together. And the relationship between the two was also disclosed in the company. What the hell went wrong.

"Okay, why do you want to leave Tengyue. Haven't you and Cheng Yueze reconciled? ”

The corners of Tao Yanran's mouth hooked up a wry smile. "We can't have a future. ”

"Why. Lamber was a little anxious.

"Because between us. There is an insurmountable chasm. We made it clear yesterday. Tao Xunran hid the grief in his eyes. Raise her eyes to Lan Mo. It's already clear. "I'm here to see you today. Just wanted to say sorry to you. I didn't say goodbye at the beginning. Failed your kindness. ”

The chasm in her mouth. Fell into Lamber's ears. Naturally, I thought of the resentment in her heart. And his own dad who muddies the waters.

Lanmer sighed. Said to Tao Xunran. "I can understand your feelings. But feelings are a matter of two people. There was a misunderstanding between you at the beginning. The fault is not entirely with Cheng Yueze. Why can't you forgive him? ”

Hear Lamber's words. Tao Xunran naturally knew that she was thinking crookedly. But a lot of things. She didn't want to talk to Lamer. Because saying it doesn't change anything. Why bother to unravel your scars for others to see?

"A lot of things. It's not that simple. Things have come to this point. Let's not mention it. ”

Lan Mo saw that she couldn't listen to her own advice. She was in a hurry. But we can't take any other stand. At this time, she can only persuade as a bystander.

"If you don't mention it, you won't mention it. ”

Coming out of the restaurant. Tao Xunran watched Lan Mo leave. Only then did I stop a taxi. She still has someone to meet.

After stopping a taxi. Tao Xunran reported the address of the hospital. Yes. She also had someone to meet. That's Mo Hon.

Come to the hospital. Find Mo Hong's hospital room. After pushing the door in. Inside, only Mo Hong was lying alone on the bed. There is no one around to take care of them. But Tao Xunran didn't care. Just be an old man with an eccentric temper.

She came to see Mo Hong. I said hello beforehand. So Mo Hong was sitting against the head of the bed at this time.

"You're here. There was majesty in his voice. But there is a little less disdain and indifference.

Tao Xunran didn't take his change of attitude to heart. Now she looked at the old man. There is only mercy in the heart. The wretched will have something to hate. The consequences of his obstinate actions. Now it's obvious. That's endless loneliness.

"Hmm. You want to see me. Of course I'm coming. ”

Mo Hong listened to this little girl who had been a little restrained and cautious in front of him before. Now in front of me. The momentum that emanates from the body. I can't help but hook my lips slightly. Hate can really change a person.

"I want to see you. Just wanted to talk to you. Your business. I will not interfere anymore. ”

"Huh. Tao Xunran sneered. I just feel that my body is controlled by hatred. An unstoppable void. The moment I saw Mo Hong. Resentment rose in my heart. Gradually hollowed out her heart.

"I will say these things now. Don't you think it's a little late? When everything is irretrievable. You said you wouldn't interfere with our business. There was a thick irony in Tao Yanran's words. "It's late. ”

"Don't you really want to be with Ze. I don't know why Tao Yanran heard his words now. Why is it still such a resolute reaction. She has a grudge against herself. He doesn't care. He won't say anything repentant and apologized to this junior. But the point of what he said today. On the bodies of these two young men.

"I do want to be with him. But. That is already in the past tense. ”

Mo Hong didn't expect to see her today. Will get such a result. All he thought was that his daughter had returned. Everything can be left uncared for. As long as the daughter wants something. He would do what she wanted.

Without waiting for him to continue to say anything. Tao Xunran continued. "Looks like there's nothing to talk about between us. Don't bother anymore. ”

Tao Yunran threw down a sentence. He turned around and left without looking back.

After Tao Xunran left. A figure flashed around the corner. After watching her walk into the elevator. A phone call was made.

It didn't take long. Another person walked into Mo Hong's hospital room.

Tao Xunran walked out of the hospital. Go straight home. Back to the apartment. Dragged with a tired body. Sit heavily on the couch. Cheng Yueze didn't call her again today. I guess he figured it out. At this time, he should be preparing to go abroad.

Think of these. Tao Xunran said silently. "It seems that everything is much easier to solve than expected. ”

Snuggle up on the couch. Stayed quietly for a while. I don't know when I fell asleep. Maybe I've been too tired lately. After a few things were settled. It gave her a sense of relief.

I don't know what time it is when I open my eyes again. Something suddenly came to mind. sighed. Get up and pack up one by one. She should be ready to leave, too.

I'm packing things up. The doorbell outside rings. Tao Xunran put down what he was doing. Walk towards the door.
