The Gu Mansion in the morning was quiet and empty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
It's already August, and the gloom of autumn is getting more and more intense, echoing the scene of Gu Mansion at this moment.
Yu Jin took breakfast and sent it to Gu Wanyan's room.
She pushed open the door and saw Gu Wanyan sitting in the mirror with a pale expression.
Yu Jin hesitated for a moment, put down the tray, and walked behind her: "Second wife, let's eat something first." ”
Gu Wanyan shook her head helplessly, then picked up a letter in her hand and handed it to Yu Jin without hesitation.
Yu Jin was stunned, but still took it.
She read it—the further back she looked, the more Yujin's brow furrowed.
The news of the closure of the Dongcheng store spread quickly. In several branches in other places, the workers in the factory have lost their original trust in Gu's and no longer seem to be willing to do their best to work for Gu's;
If you can't get in or out, the capital chain can be said to be broken.
Gu Wanyan lowered her head, sighed, and was silent.
As a subordinate, Yu Jin naturally couldn't say anything, so she bowed her head and said, "Second wife, let's eat first." Vestibule...... There are also guests in the foyer. ”
=====================
Gu Wanyan walked quickly through the corridor, raising her hand to comb the broken hair in her ears as she walked.
However, just as she stepped into the front hall and saw the familiar figure sitting in the hall, Gu Wanyan's original movements suddenly stopped, and the person was stunned.
The people in the front hall heard the movement, so they stood up and turned to look at Gu Wanyan.
The moment the two of them made eye contact, complex emotions surged in her chest, suddenly wanting to choke, and suddenly anger.
The two were silent for a long time.
Gu Wanyan was defeated, looked away, and called in a dumb voice with some difficulty: "Mother." ”
Madame smiled shallowly the moment she heard Gu Wanyan call herself, and there was always a just right smile on her graceful and luxurious face, as if nothing had happened.
However, Gu Wanyan, who knows everything now, will never act as if nothing has happened.
Gu Wanyan forced herself to calm down in the shortest possible time, and then took a deep breath and walked forward: "You...... What are you doing here?"
As soon as the words came out, Gu Wanyan regretted it.
When had she spoken to her wife like this for more than ten years?
You must know that Madame is a person who has turned her back on the Gu family, and Madame is also a person who has used her mercilessly!
Madame was stunned, and a look of disappointment immediately appeared.
"Wanyan, what's wrong with you? Why are ......you talking to your mother like this? Is it a strange girl, and she left without saying a word?"
Gu Wanyan slowly looked into his wife's eyes, her gaze cold to the bone.
She was finally willing to summon up the courage to face the bloody facts.
"Mother!" Gu Wanyan's voice was a little excited, her whole person was trembling, and her eyes gradually became red, "It's all this time, do you really think I don't know anything?"
Madame's face changed, and then she fell into an eerie silence.
As soon as Gu Wanyan said this, Madame probably understood everything in her heart.
In the face of his wife's silence, Gu Wanyan was sad.
Scenes from the past began to flash uncontrollably in Gu Wanyan's mind-
Eight-year-old, who had lost her parents, stood helplessly in the deserted wilderness, timidly looking at the lady who stretched out her hand to her.
With a kind smile on her face, Madame said softly to Gu Wanyan, who had just come to Gu's mansion: "Remember, in the future, your surname will be Gu, and your name will be Gu Wanyan, and there will be no Song Wanyan from now on." Those over there are your brothers. ”
Mrs. sent her to the school to study, taught her female red embroidery, and took her by the hand and told everyone, this is my daughter.
......
I didn't think about it, it was many years.
Gu Wanyan sniffed hard and told herself, Gu Wanyan, you can't cry.
Madame's expression gradually became numb for some reason.
Then she shook her head to herself—not knowing whether it was indifference, helplessness, or ruthlessness.
Then Mrs. sat down, did not look directly at Gu Wanyan, and only said lightly: "I know that the Gu Mansion is not in a good situation now, and I came here today to ask if there is anything I need help with." ”
Gu Wanyan's anger was about to overflow, she clenched her teeth, raised her head and said stiffly: "Not at all, please go back!"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. looked at Gu Wanyan in some surprise.
At this moment, she felt that Gu Wanyan had changed, from the inside out.
Perhaps, the eighteen girls who have been submissive have gradually become resolute and unyielding.
When Madame left, Gu Wanyan didn't send one more step.
But it wasn't until Mrs. was about to walk to the gate that Gu Wanyan couldn't help but suddenly rushed out of the hall and stopped her: "Mother!"
Madame's body shook, and then stopped, but she did not turn around.
Gu Wanyan pursed her lips tightly, there was still a trace of unwillingness in her eyes, she walked forward step by step.
She walked behind Madame and stopped, and slowly asked, "Mother, tell me, are those true?"
The so-called ones, which ones are referred to, Madame's heart, is very clear.
I don't know how long I was silent, but Madame only said something faintly, and then she didn't even look back, and then walked away.
"Wanyan, in the future, take good care of yourself. ”
======================
Gu Zhang returned to Dongcheng three days later.
Gu Wanyan knew that he would not bring good news.
The store in Tongzhou was on the verge of closure, and Gu Zhang had no choice but to temporarily close the store first and hang up the sign of closing for rectification.
returned home with Gu Zhang, as well as Yang Chuhe.
The moment Gu Wanyan saw Yang Izuhe in the mansion, she smiled helplessly, she shook her head, and said, "The Gu family has become like this now, you can quickly find a new way out by yourself, and you don't have to waste your time and energy on this." ”
Who knew that Yang Chuhe was also a stubborn character, she said to Gu Wanyan unconvinced: "Second wife, I believe anyway, this is just a temporary difficulty faced by Gu's Jewelry, and in the near future, Gu's Jewelry will reopen!"
While speaking, Yang Zhuhe also looked at Gu Zhang firmly.
As a bystander, Gu Wanyan said that it was impossible to see anything else.
In any case, even if the misfortune is not alone, bless them.
The three of them gathered in the study, discussing countermeasures in a hurry.
Gu Zhang looked at it strangely left and right, and asked, "Wanyan, where is my sister-in-law?"
Who knows.
Gu Wanyan spread her hands: "I don't know, I haven't been in the house for many days." ”
Gu Zhang pursed his lips, suddenly fell silent, and said a little sadly: "Seriously, big brother is such an honest person, I don't believe that tax evasion will be his idea." ”
Yang Chuhe's eyes rolled: "You mean...... Sister-in-law?"
Gu Wanyan didn't say anything, but she knew better than anyone else in her heart.
