Chapter 44: Time always dilutes everything
"Xiao Rui is also here, you see, you haven't come to us for many years. Qin Keqin was very happy when she saw Ouyang Rui coming down together.
"Aunt Qin, I'm almost thirty. Ouyang Rui said with a smile.
"You've always been children in my eyes. Qin Keqin said.
Gu Shaoqing, who was walking behind, held back a smile, there were several of them, only Ouyang Rui's name was one word, and then when several elders from childhood to adulthood called him, they all added a small word in front of his name, when Ouyang Rui was a teenager, he protested with these adults and asked them to change this title, but it was invalid, no one took her words seriously, so Qin Keqin still called him that way when he saw him today.
Xiao Jinshi looked at the tall man standing beside her, obviously gloating, and pursed her lips, but she suddenly felt that she wanted to laugh too, that title was really not suitable for Ouyang Rui.
"Rui is here too. In the living room, Gu Tianyao was reading the newspaper, and when he saw them come in, he took off his eyes, put away the newspaper, and the first sentence he said was exactly the same as Qin Keqin.
Ouyang Rui was embarrassed, but he still greeted him very politely, and Xiao Jinshi also greeted him one by one.
After dinner, Ouyang Rui and Gu Changfeng played chess together, Gu Shaoqing and Gu Tianyao sat next to them, and Qin Keqin pulled Xiao Jinshi down in the garden to chat.
"If only your grandfather and they were all here, it would be much more lively. In the past, when your aunt didn't go over, we often made an appointment to go shopping and drink tea together, so for a while, many years have passed, you say this person, the older you get, the more nostalgic you are for the past. Qin Keqin sighed.
"When I went back this time, I also mentioned to my grandfather that if I could, I would better move back, after all, this is home. "Xiao Jinshi doesn't want to have her own family here, Bai Jiannian's health is not as good as a year after year, and she can go to see him whenever she wants here.
"Your grandfather, he just can't let it go, he doesn't say it himself, but we all know it. "The Gu family was originally close to the Bai family, so Qin Keqin was still very clear about those things in the Bai family.
"Yes, but after looking for so many years, if she wanted to come back, she would have come back a long time ago, she knew that her grandfather was so old. After going back this time, Xiao Jinshi felt that her grandfather was really much older, so for her mother, she had a grudge in her heart for the first time, but what she was actually more afraid of was that that person was no longer there.
When he went back at night, Gu Shaoqing obviously felt that the woman sitting in the co-pilot seemed to be a little absent-minded, so what's the matter, she still looked proud of the spring breeze when she passed, but it would wilt again, and finally fell asleep directly.
He sent Ouyang Rui back first, and then turned around and went back to his residence, when the car stopped, Gu Shaoqing wanted to wake her up, but seeing that she was sleeping so deeply, he couldn't bear it, got out of the car, took a detour to the co-pilot, helped her unbuckle her seat belt, and gently hugged her out horizontally.
Although the action was light, Xiao Jinshi still woke up, she suddenly opened her eyes, and looked at Gu Shaoqing motionlessly.
"I'll get down and walk myself. Feeling her whole face burn, she opened her mouth shyly.
Gu Shaoqing hummed, and then put her down very unnaturally, and took the lead in walking over to open the door, Xiao Jinshi followed behind, and suddenly wanted to laugh, just now he seemed to see Gu Shaoqing's face was a little red, and it really didn't match him at all.
I have to say that our President Gu really doesn't know how to be good to girls, but it has always been girls who chase him, and he really hasn't chased anyone, resulting in a bunch of girls who don't know how to please girls, but don't know how to follow the girls waiting for his favor.
"Miss Zhang came over today, I think her mood seems to be a little wrong, what will happen next, you better tell her clearly, I don't want to deal with these things anymore, it's too troublesome." Entering the house, Xiao Jinshi said that Zhang Ruoning came over today, but did not say what happened.
"I'll take care of it. This sentence again, Xiao Jinshi was inexplicably in a bad mood when he heard it, and he didn't like Gu Shaoqing's ambiguous attitude very much.
"Just say it, you love her and want to give her a name, I can quit, and I don't want to be a junior in someone else's love life. After today's careful consideration, Xiao Jinshi wants to solve the matter with Gu Shaoqing, even if he treats her badly, she can bear it, but the last thing she can bear is that she becomes a junior in the eyes of others, which is not moral in the first place.
Gu Shaoqing was speechless by her, he obviously looked tired from her face, and dared to love her because she was unhappy because of this matter, Gu Shaoqing speculated in his heart.
Xiao Jinshi saw that he didn't want to speak again, and felt tired, so he walked upstairs.
"I'll be responsible for you. Gu Shaoqing spoke.
Xiao Jinshi's feet paused, her eyebrows tightened, the last thing she needed was his responsibility.
"I don't need to, if you really love her, just give her a name, I will fully cooperate with the old man, the emotional matter is reluctant, we will let each other go one way. Turning his head, Xiao Jinshi said categorically to Gu Shaoqing.
"Which of your eyes sees that I really love her, do you think you know me very well? Gu Shaoqing was a little angry, this woman opened and closed her mouth with those words, and she was annoyed to listen to them.
"You said it yourself, you told me on the day of your wedding, I don't need to look at it. Xiao Jinshi was also angry.
"What a stupid woman, and self-righteous. Gu Shaoqing snorted coldly and spoke.
Xiao Jinshi didn't say a word, turned around again, and continued to walk upstairs, but the tears still couldn't stop falling.
After that night, Xiao Jinshi didn't see Gu Shaoqing for several days, she stayed at home alone every day, and used to go to the back mountain, but now she is not in the mood at all, so in addition to eating and sleeping every day, she is staying at home in a daze.
She admits that she loves Gu Shaoqing, but she is not a person who can't let go, she doesn't want to go on like this, especially that time when Zhang Ruoning came over to make her sober up suddenly, it is not good for anyone to go on like this.
After being decadent for a few days, Xiao Jinshi decided to find a place outside, she had already thought about it, it was not bad to open a gallery, she had nothing to do for a day, it was not good to go on like this, it was better to do something meaningful, and she would not be so boring.
Just do it, she found a lot of places on the Internet, and finally rented a studio in a prosperous area in the city center, although it is not big, but she has already figured out what to do, and this day she signed the contract, she went to find a decoration company.
"Xiaojin, if you are free, come out and have a meal together. Ouyang Rui's phone came at this time.
Xiao Jinshi thought that like Ouyang Rui, they must know which decoration company is good, so they can also let him recommend it by the way, so he agreed to him.
"Brother Ouyang, you are a busy person, how could you think of calling me for dinner. As soon as he sat down, Xiao Jinshi asked with a smile.
"Zhou Yuan told me to take care of you more, you see, I didn't do it, he came back and found out, but he blamed me. Ouyang Rui didn't forget to mention Bai Zhouyuan every time, and he didn't know what he said about taking good care of her because of Bai Zhouyuan, whether it was to remind Xiao Jinshi or himself.
"I really envy my brother for having these good friends of you, you see me, I've been here for so long, I don't have a single friend, and the only best Qingqing is far away in Vancouver. Xiao Jinshi's words contained a little loneliness.
"Oh my god, I'll call Yaya out, and you'll be good friends. Ouyang Rui saw the loss from her seriousness, and suddenly felt a sense of distress.
"Okay, that's it, you have to talk about it. Xiao Jinshi finally showed a real smile.
In the end, she told Ouyang Rui that she was going to open a studio, Ouyang Rui was very supportive, and also introduced her to the decoration company he was familiar with, Xiao Jinshi was full of gratitude.
"Brother Ouyang, I'll invite you next time. Xiao Jinshi finished speaking, revealing white teeth.
"Okay. Ouyang Rui smiled warmly at her.
Just when the two of them walked to the gate, a car came to them, Ouyang Rui looked at it, and said, "Isn't that Shaoqing's car?" Xiao Jinshi thought in his heart, what a coincidence, but this time he came out and met him again.
Gu Shaoqing got out of the car, and the person who came out on the other side was Zhang Ruoning, Xiao Jinshi already knew Gu Shaoqing's choice in his heart, he was probably with Zhang Ruoning for the past few days, and he could put it down and do his own thing.
Ouyang Rui's brows furrowed, and he said to Xiao Jinshi, "Let's go." Xiao Jinshi nodded at him.
"Miss Xiao and Ouyang also came here for dinner. Just as they were about to leave, Zhang Ruoning walked up and asked them with a gentle look.
"yes, we just finished eating, and we left first. Xiao Jinshi didn't look at Gu Shaoqing, and gave Zhang Ruoning a smile back.
Ouyang Rui glanced at Gu Shaoqing, then said coldly and left, Gu Shaoqing also said simply, and then walked inside.
"Brother Ouyang, it's okay like this, he made a choice, so everyone doesn't have to worry about it, hehe. In the car, Xiao Jinshi took a deep breath and opened his mouth quietly.
"I've told you everything, what happened, what needs help to tell me, but you see, if I didn't look for you, would you be prepared to carry everything yourself? Although Ouyang Rui blamed, he was very distressed in his heart.
"I know, I will. Xiao Jinshi's heart was warm, and she also regarded Ouyang Rui as her brother from the bottom of her heart.
Xiao Jinshi is busy with things in the studio every day, and only occasionally when she thinks about it when she calms down, she will feel heartache, but it's okay, at least she doesn't have to worry about it anymore, it's always better to have an answer than to be confused, and time will always dilute everything.
The days passed peacefully, and on this day, the arrival of a person broke all this.
