I pinched my phone tightly, and then glanced at Gu Lin on the sofa, her body involuntarily curled up together, like a cat, still trembling slightly, as if she had no sense of security.

I can't help but think that over the years, she has been threatened and transferred to another school, but she has always taken her father's words as true, and she has regarded me as a hope?

Gu Lin's drunken words just now, questioning me, made me feel very uncomfortable.

The store manager was still talking anxiously over there, but I didn't even listen.

After hanging up my phone, I walked straight out of the office and locked the door with my key to prevent anyone from coming in.

When I walked into the lobby of the bar, the other customers had all dispersed, and under the dim light, Liu Quan, with a gloomy face, held the wine bottle in his hand and said nothing.

And those attendants were pointing at the store manager and scolding, saying that they knew each other and quickly got Gu Lin out, otherwise any reason would make people close the store.

The store manager begged hard, saying that they should not be impulsive first, and had already called the boss.

I didn't bow my head, just walked directly to the table, and looked at Liu Quan with slightly squinted eyes.

Liu Quan raised his head and looked at me, and said in a weird way: "Boss Zhou, what do you mean?"

I was soft and worried a lot before, but this time, as if something was controlling my heart, I didn't even have a disguised respect in my words, and said coldly: "Gu Lin is no longer with me, if you want to find her, you can find it yourself." ”

The store manager's face was obviously frightened, but Liu Quan slammed the bottle in his hand to the ground, with a clattering sound, he laughed, and said: "Boss Zhou is worthy of being in there, and his face doesn't change when he lies, do you think I don't know who you are?"

As he spoke, Liu Quan stood up, approached my face, squinted his eyes slightly, and whispered in my ear, "You already know her, right? ”

I didn't dodge, and I wasn't even surprised that Liu Quan knew this. I'm a person with a criminal record, and he can find out that I've been in prison, and with a little thought, he can find out what the reason is.

I also replied in a very light tone: "Since Liu Gongzi knows, then why don't you want to think about whether you will become a person lying in the hospital." ”

After saying this, I obviously saw Liu Quan's body in front of me stiffen.

He looked at me with an angry smile and said three good words in a row.

I didn't take anything, just stared at Liu Quan, and said word by word: "You'd better beat me to death, otherwise, if you dare to touch the people around me, I can go in for three years, and I can let you lie in the hospital for the rest of your life! Don't force me!"

The attendants cursed loudly, and the store manager was so frightened that he didn't know where to go.

Liu Quan's expression became more and more cold, he beckoned and said, "Go." ”

The attendants were obviously unwilling, but they could only walk out, but their eyes became more fierce than the other, as if they were about to devour my flesh and blood.

I breathed a sigh of relief, people are afraid of dying, I can indeed do something that doesn't kill me, Liu Quan is a rich second-generation son, and he is not stupid.

It's just that what makes me uneasy in my heart is Xie Ran.

I can't let go of Gu Lin's current appearance, and I can't go against my inner feelings.

But what about Xie Ran?

Xie Ran can't do without me, how should I choose?

Liu Quan had already walked to the door of the bar, he suddenly stopped, turned back to me and said: "Boss Zhou, don't be too greedy, your girlfriend is very good, eat the inside of the pot, don't look inside the bowl anymore, otherwise, the boat will capsize." ”

I replied coldly, but he suddenly grinned, and for a moment his expression seemed to have swept away the previous clouds. It made me extremely uncomfortable, and even a little like a thorn in my back.

After Liu Quan left, the store manager didn't know which corner he came out of, he looked at me in fear and said, "Boss, how dare you threaten Liu Quan, he is famous for his revenge and ......revenge."

I interrupted the store manager, exhaled lightly and said, "It's nothing, you just have to open the store." ”

The store manager sighed.

I had a bad feeling in my heart.

He smiled helplessly and said: "Boss, those who worked just now were scared away, and Liu Quan threatened them at that time, saying that they couldn't read, and they all resigned." ”

My face froze, and I clenched my fists tightly.

The store manager's voice was also much weaker, and he lowered his head and whispered, "Boss, have you been in before?"

I didn't answer immediately, the store manager heard what Liu Quan said just now.

The manager's voice was a little quieter, and obviously more frightened, and he looked up at me, and I could clearly see a hint of other emotion in his eyes.

It's like looking at a monster.

He exhaled and said, "Boss, you are still too impulsive, even if you dare to offend Liu Quan, we don't dare, he has let go, who dares to go to work?"

After finishing speaking, the store manager reluctantly patted me on the shoulder, and without the previous respect, he turned around and walked out of the store.

I was the only one left in a bar at Nuoda, with dim lighting, scattered tables and chairs, and empty wine bottles.

But I didn't even feel like I was breaking down, as if these things had nothing to do with me.

I look into my own heart, and I can't deceive my heart.

I have never let go of Gu Lin for so many years, and finally chose to be here, which is also due to the despair of not being able to find Gu Lin in the future, so let me start a new life.

Gu Lin's appearance, especially because she also likes me, made hope sprout in my heart again.

I smiled bitterly, Daddy is right, I'm a madman.

Sighing, I was about to go back to the office when my phone rang.

I picked it up and looked at it, but it was Xie Ran who called.

After a moment's hesitation, I still connected.

Xie Ran said in an anxious voice: "What's the matter, Zhou Ran, why did I suddenly receive the resignation news from many people, and they all sent me WeChat to say that they would not do it, did there be an accident in the store again?"

I whispered to Xie Ran to leave it alone, it's no big deal.

Xie Ran said with a crying tone in his tone: "Is Liu Quan here?" Don't fight with him, he has a lot of power, don't fight against him, otherwise you won't be able to live this life." ”

I could hear Xie Ran's fear, and I comforted her and told her not to worry, it would be fine.

Xie Ran didn't continue to ask more, but whispered that our mother was asleep, and I felt that her spirit was much better than before, and she was a little sober, originally our mother called her Xiao Ran before, but today she has been calling her daughter-in-law.

Xie Ran's tone was very well-behaved, and said that now our mother is almost well, and the business in the store is also good, so I must be good, we will definitely be better.

I could tell the truth of these words, but the more I felt like this, the more guilty I felt in my heart.

I hummed and said, "I'll go home in a while, you can rest and sleep first, and you still have to study." ”

Xie Ran also whispered, saying that she was also sleepy, so she still went to persuade the clerk to come back to work.

I whispered to her to stop worrying about the store, she couldn't take care of it.

There was a silence on the other side of the phone, which was a good word for Xie Ran who was slightly disappointed.

The phone hung up, and I turned back and walked to the office.

The door was opened.

Gu Lin was still lying on the sofa, curled up together, but I saw that she held the book and the photo frame tightly in her arms.

I looked at Gu Lin in a daze, but I couldn't bear to wake her up.

I found a blanket and put it on her body, and I was going to let her rest here, and I went home first.

But she suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed my arm tightly, her eyes were still closed, her brows were tightly locked, and her voice was full of panic, saying, "Don't go, don't go......"

My heart trembled and I didn't move, for fear of waking her up.

Her brow furrowed into a Sichuan character, as if she was in a nightmare.

I was distressed, so I whispered, "I'm not leaving." ”

Gu Lin's eyebrows slowly eased, in her sleep, she seemed to have broken the tranquility in my heart before, she was still clear, but this clarity became very fragile and needed to be protected.

I was so crazy that I kept watching, forgetting that I was going home, that time had passed.

Until Gu Lin twitched her eyelashes lightly and opened her eyes.

I met her eye in the eye.

There was a panic in her eyes, and she let go of her hand and sat up from the couch.

I smiled and said, "It's all right." ”

Her face turned red, she looked left and right, and said unnaturally, "Did we spend the night together?"

I nodded.

Her face turned even redder, and she clenched the corner of her clothes uneasily, and then she looked at the photo frames and books around her in a little panic, but her eyes turned red.

I just wanted to speak, but Gu Lin avoided my gaze uneasily, and said, "I drank too much last night, if I said something that shouldn't be said, you shouldn't have heard, I have to go to school." ”

With that, she immediately got up and walked towards the door of the office.

I stood up and tried to chase her, but she had already pulled the door open.

But instead of going out, she stood motionless in the doorway.

When I got up, I chuckled in my heart.

Because there was still a man standing at the door.

It's not a coincidence, it's still Xie Ran, this time Xie Ran's face was pale, her hair was a little messy, her eyes were red, but she didn't cry.

Gu Lin said uneasily: "You listen to my explanation." ”

Xie Ran's eyes looked at me, her eyes were full of disappointment, and even some despair, she raised her hand and slapped Gu Lin in the face hard.

With a crisp snap, Gu Lin covered her face and sat down on the ground.

Xie Ran turned around, moved extremely resolutely, and ran out.

I was panicked to the extreme, but Gu Lin looked at me in a panic, her voice became louder, and she almost shouted: "Are you stupid, go chase it!"

I shuddered, and my eyes struggled.

Gu Lin's face was pale, and her voice carried a hint of pleading, and said, "I'm sorry Zhou Ran, I don't want to be like this, you go and chase her, I'm fine." ”
