CHAPTER XVII
The door was gently closed, and there were only two people left in the room, Shen Jing and Wen Gu, Shen Jing glanced at the things Wen Gu held in his hand, and then looked at the pile of materials stacked at the head of the bed, and couldn't help asking: "What, you have to work when you rest at home?" You're working so hard, it's going to be hard for the people below you to do it. ”
A hint of incomprehension flashed in his shrewd and smiling eyes, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "It's hard to do?" Just do your best, nothing difficult to do, our Wen family spent money to invite them, that is, they want to work hard, if they can't meet the requirements to satisfy Dad, they will not be qualified to stay in Wen's family, let alone work with me by my old side. After a pause, he raised his hand to put it on Shen Silence's cheek, his slender fingers carefully rubbed the outline of his delicate facial features, his voice was light and fluttering, but it was full of extreme bewilderment, "You say, isn't it?" ”
Shen Shi stared at her intently, but did not speak. Her face was a little pale, and it was not difficult to see that she was indeed very uncomfortable at the moment, but she forced herself to sit up straight, and looked at his eyes with a smile. He thought that time has such a magic power that can make a person unrecognizable. I met her that year, she was still a lively and playful little girl, blinking with a pair of big black eyes, as if she didn't understand what adults were talking about. She is twenty-four years old this year, very smart, knows how to get more, I don't know when, she has restrained the naughty willfulness of her childhood, and has become calm and elegant, with a subtle and decent smile on her lips, like a sharp and angular stone that has been sharpened by the years of rich and round, it seems that only he can see scheming and viciousness in those smiling, innocent and beautiful eyes.
After a long time, he laughed, took her hand on his face, put it to his lips under her gaze, and kissed it gently: "Yes." ”
"By the way, in a few days, it will be the L City TV Festival Awards Ceremony, and the two dramas invested by SG have been shortlisted, so when the time comes, you will also go, right?" Wen asked with a smile.
The 18th L-City TV Festival is one of the best international TV festivals in China, when hundreds of people from various TV stations, news media, production companies, well-known film and television stars in the entertainment industry and representatives of many TV stations will gather together to participate in this grand event of the international television industry. And such a grand event, of course, there will be no shortage of SG representatives.
Shen Shi smiled: "Of course." ”
"I'll come with you!" There is no inquiry, it is a tone of affirmation.
Shen Silent glanced at Wen Gu: "Okay! ”
Shen Jing chatted with Wen Gu for a while and left, Wen Gu sat on the edge of the bed, listened to his footsteps downstairs, and then gradually moved away, suddenly smiled on his lips, and called Ah Duo, who was about to close the door.
Ah Duo held the handrail of the door and looked at Wen in horror.
"Who called Young Master Shen to come?" The cold voice is like the tender and elegant woman just now.
Ah Duo bit his lip, hesitated, and said timidly: "Yes, it's me." ”
"Who allowed you to make your own decisions?" Wen Gu's dark eyes stared at her sharply and asked unceremoniously.
Ah Duo swallowed his saliva involuntarily, trying to explain: "I saw that the eldest lady was uncomfortable, so I thought, if Young Master Shen came, the young lady should be happy......" Saying that, he realized that he had done wrong, and quickly bowed down and apologized, "I'm sorry Miss, I was wrong." ”
Wen Gu withdrew the cold gaze that was staring at Ah Duo, and continued to look at the information in his hand, his voice was calm and he couldn't hear the slightest emotion: "I don't feel comfortable, I just know it, and I am not allowed to call Young Master Shen without my orders in the future." "Especially when I'm sick." ”
Ah Duo can't understand that when ordinary people are sick and uncomfortable, they all want the person they like to be by their side and can take care of them meticulously, why is this not the case?
Ah Duo hesitated for a long time, but still mustered up the courage to ask: "But, Ah Duo doesn't understand, why?" ”
She didn't answer, she didn't get angry, as if she was a little tired, she put down the information in her hand and closed her eyes lazily.
Ah Duo waited for a while, but did not wait for any response, so he gently closed the door and went downstairs.
The room was quiet, and Wen slowly opened his eyes, looking at the place where he had just sat silently.
Why? That's a good question!
Of course she won't sue anyone because it's ugly. She couldn't say that, she couldn't let him see her weak and tired appearance, anything that was flawed and not graceful and beautiful, not at any time.
Wen Yan lay in the hospital bed for only two days before being discharged in a hurry.
In the past two days, Gu Heng has not come to see her once, nor has Yan Ran, but Yan Ran's assistant has come once, sent fruit baskets and flowers, and expressed her gratitude very politely, but she didn't know if this matter was Yan Ran's meaning or her own meaning, she didn't say it, and Wen Yan didn't ask.
So except for Shen Silent and Aunt Lan, no one has ever come to see her, think about last year, when Yan Ran was sick and hospitalized, Gu Heng accompanied her almost every day, her two assistants were busy for a moment, roses and carnations sent by fans, and gifts such as thousands of paper crane wishing bottles were piled up in the whole room, and the condolence calls were one after another, and she cooked and sent it every day, watching Gu Heng feed Yan Ran bite by bite, but she still had a black face, the boss was dissatisfied, and shouted that it was unpalatable, but as long as Gu Heng frowned, she would immediately hug him, coquettishly smiled and said I eat I eat ......
Women are coquettish because someone cares, if they cry and make trouble, no one cares, no one is distressed, and coquettishness becomes a luxury and waste, a kind of neurotic behavior.
From that day on, she knew Gu Heng's sincerity to Yan Yan, he liked her, not for the prevarication and perfunctory of those women in the past, but really attached importance to and cared, he wanted this woman, he could tolerate her qiē, including her arrogance and occasional bad temper, and even thought that one day, he would grab her hand, stare at her eyes, and sincerely and prudently say to her to marry me and be my Gu Heng's wife.
At that time, he must have forgotten that there was once a person who was also treated so gently by him, and she also lay in his arms, pillowed his arms, pursed the corners of her mouth and smiled to listen to him say nice things and tell interesting things.
Somehow, I suddenly thought of a sentence, thousands of people walked all the way, and a few did not move. Gu Heng's world has already burned, and there is no room for her anymore.
The sky gradually darkened, the street lights on both sides of the road turned on one after another, Wen Yan did not call a taxi, but walked aimlessly on the street alone, she has been in this city for twenty-five years, and there has never been a moment like now, full of strangeness, confusion, and chaos that cannot be seen clearly, no sense of belonging. She lowered her head, listened to the loud honking of cars on the street, watched her shadow being stretched slender and broken by the wind, no matter how she slowed down, she still walked slowly, step by step to the gate of the Gu family.
I looked up and looked at the two familiar pathfinder lights in front of the door, and I thought it was funny.
For five years, she desperately wanted to escape, and she was not even afraid to walk down a dark and muddy path to a place she had never been before, even if it was overgrown with grass and thorns.
But after going around and around, I walked back here.
The light in front of the door was still on, the courtyard was very quiet, and Wen Yan pondered that Gu Heng had returned, so he stood at the door for a while before entering the gate.
The hall was brightly lit, and Gu Heng sat alone at the long dining table, looking at the sumptuous meal, without moving his chopsticks, as if he was waiting for someone. And Aunt Lan stood beside him, saw Wen Yan walk in, and beckoned to her.
"Coming back? Haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go make you some more. ”
"No need, Aunt Lan." Wen Yan walked over and stopped Aunt Lan, "I'm not hungry, I won't eat." Then he stood beside Gu Heng, looked at his cold and hard face lines, and said respectfully: "Young master, I'm back." ”
Gu Heng didn't look at her, nor did he speak, as if he didn't care where she went, and he couldn't come back, his eyes were cold under the light, sinking like a cold abyss.
Wen Yan had long been accustomed to Gu Heng's attitude, so he was numb, and he didn't want to bother guessing what he was thinking. Aunt Lan frowned, looked at Wen Yan with some worry, and suddenly raised her hand to carefully remove her forehead bangs, and watched her show her fair and smooth forehead, before she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that there is no scar, otherwise it will be ugly, you are still so young, what if no boy likes to see you in the future." As he spoke, he pushed Wen Yan upstairs, and said as he pushed, "Let's go up and rest first, and I'll bring you food later." ”
Before Wen Yan could speak, Gu Heng's low voice sounded coldly, especially hoarse and impatient on this dull summer night: "Either sit down and eat, or don't eat." With that, he picked up the chopsticks and casually picked up the dishes.
The flowing air froze in his cold words in an instant, and Aunt Lan wanted to refute, but his hurtful words came again: "Aunt Lan, isn't your job to take care of me, but to be busy for an inconsequential person?" ”
"But you're going to starve." Aunt Lan was a little angry, isn't it just a bowl of rice, Gu Heng is competing with her because of this matter?
"She's not even afraid of death, is she still afraid of hunger?"
The tone was suddenly raised, with a cold sense of persecution and unprecedented contempt in his tone, Wen Yan and Aunt Lan were stunned together, such a sharp and angry voice obviously could not be equated with the shrewd and calm Gu Heng on weekdays, and Aunt Lan, who had always been straightforward and fast-talking, didn't know what to say, Gu Heng had never said such heavy words, and it could be seen that he was really angry.
There was silence for a long time. Wen Yan raised his eyes and stared at Gu Heng, from the time she came in until now, he hadn't looked at her, so he couldn't see his expression clearly, and he couldn't figure out what he wanted to express in his eyes, but his heart hurt a little, for Aunt Lan, but also for himself. She pursed her white lips, and a desolate smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I'm sorry, young master, let's eat, I'll come down and clean up in a while." As he spoke, he gave Aunt Lan a reassuring look and walked towards his room.
Her footsteps were very soft, as if the whole person was illusory, and it would disappear like a bubble anytime and anywhere, Aunt Lan looked at Wen Yanqing's thin back, and couldn't help but sigh, "So thin, it can be blown away by a gust of wind, and she still doesn't eat, so I have to find a man for her to take care of it in the future." Gu Heng's movements with chopsticks froze.
After a pause, he took a mouthful of food into his mouth, chewed it dryly, and frowned: "It's too salty." ”
Aunt Lan's eyes were still looking at Wen Yan, and she blurted out without thinking about it: "I'm old, my skills are not as good as before, the young master is used to eating Wen Yan's cooking, how good will she be when she is not there in the future." ”
