CHAPTER XXII

When Gu Heng came back from outside, the sky was already slightly bright, and he was about to go back to the room, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Aunt Lan's door being hidden, and there was a faint coughing sound from inside.

He went to the door and knocked twice, Aunt Lan answered inside, and he pushed the door and walked in.

Aunt Lan sat on the edge of the bed, put on a thin coat, and looked at Gu Heng with her head a little blank: "Young Master got up so early?" โ€

Gu Heng nodded, with some worry in his eyes: "Why are you coughing?" โ€

Aunt Lan covered her chest with her hands, and couldn't help coughing heavily: "It's an old problem, it's okay, don't worry, young master, I'll go make breakfast for you." As he spoke, he was about to get out of bed.

Gu Heng hurriedly stopped: "No need, you have a good rest, and I don't have much appetite." โ€

"Why don't you have an appetite?" Aunt Lan looked at Gu Heng worriedly, "Isn't it that I'm too tired from work recently, you should pay more attention to rest, don't burn your body." Aunt Lan leaned forward as she spoke, looked at Gu Heng carefully, and reached out to touch his face, "Young Master, why are your eyes so red, didn't you sleep well last night?" โ€

Gu Heng shook his head, then rubbed his eyebrows with his hand, "It's nothing, I was busy late yesterday for work matters." โ€

Aunt Lan was anxious when she heard this: "Young master, you are not young, why don't you know how to cherish yourself, how many times have I told you, don't stay up all the time, if you can't finish your work, you will do it tomorrow, the lord and the lady are gone, the Gu family is now the only one left, I know that it is not easy for you to support such a big family business alone, but you also have to take good care of your body, otherwise in the future, I will leave, Wen Yan will also leave, what should you do alone?" The more Aunt Lan spoke, the more excited she became, and finally threw out two tears.

Gu Heng's hand rubbing his eyebrows paused suddenly, and he raised his eyes to look at Aunt Lan: "What did you say, Aunt Lan?" โ€

Aunt Lan glared at Gu Heng and said angrily, "I said that I would leave in the future, see what you do!" โ€

"What else?"

Aunt Lan snorted, slightly stunned, thinking carefully in her mind for a long time, but she didn't remember what she just said, she looked at Gu Heng with some hesitation, "What else?" What did I say? Saying that, he sighed a little annoyed, "I'm getting older, and my memory is getting worse and worse." โ€

Gu Heng's eyes were blazing: "You said that Wen Yan would ...... go."

Aunt Lan's heart chuckled, and she looked away stiffly: "Really? Is that what I said? โ€

Gu Heng's face suddenly sank, and his voice was a little impatient: "Aunt Lan, what are you hiding from me?" โ€

Aunt Lan wrung her sleeves with her hands, and hesitated: "No......"

"Aren't you going to say it yet?" Gu Heng's voice suddenly became cold, and he stood up, "Then I'll ask her." โ€

"Young Master." Aunt Lan grabbed Gu Heng, looked at his tightly knit eyebrows and sharp eyes apologetically and distressedly, and couldn't help but sigh.

"I, I didn't tell you something, but I didn't mean to do it, it's just that young master, Wen Yan is too pitiful, I want to help her." As he spoke, he pulled Gu Heng's arm, "You sit down first, stand so high, I look dizzy." โ€

Gu Heng sat down again and looked at Aunt Lan's eyes fixedly: "Then make it clear!" โ€

Aunt Lan sighed heavily, and hesitated for a while before she spoke with difficulty: "Wen Yan told me that the young master once agreed with her that as long as you get married, she will be allowed to leave. โ€

Gu Heng stood up: "When did I say that?" โ€

Aunt Lan was taken aback by Gu Heng's sudden reaction, and hurriedly reached out to drag him: "You sit down, I said I was dizzy." โ€

Gu Heng didn't move. His straight body stood there, looking at Aunt Lan intently with firm and clear eyes, and then, word by word, "Aunt Lan, what do you know, what did she say to you!" โ€

Aunt Lan paused for a moment and slowly spoke: "Actually, I don't know very well, that is, when I went to the hospital to see Wen Yan a few days ago, she said to me that the young master borrowed a large amount of money from her, and then she didn't want her to pay it back, but only said that she would accompany you until the day you got married, as long as you get married, the money she owes you will be written off, and then she can leave you and leave the Gu family, young master, is that so?" โ€

Aunt Lan asked in surprise and bluntly, but Gu Heng stood there stiffly and did not answer.

"I don't want you to pay back, as long as you can stay with me until ...... Until the day I got married! โ€

Of course, he remembered that he had said such things, and even wrote them down solemnly. It's just that those words in the past, although they seemed to be said in a joking tone, none of them were not serious, she should have understood the meaning of those words at that time, but now why has it become the scheming and means she used to get rid of him.

"Have you ever thought that Wen Yan should also have her own life, in fact, she is not happy in our Gu family, and she can't complete what she wants to do, she just revolves around you every day, and she has to be bullied by those women around you, but it doesn't make sense, she is still young and has a lot of good times, so she shouldn't waste it like this!"

Aunt Lan's words seemed to be injustice, but they were sincere.

"Young master, do you know, she told me that she hopes to open a very small cake shop, or become a makeup artist, or work in a small company, as long as the life is simple, but these are not what our Gu family can give!"

Aunt Lan said silently, but Gu Heng remained silent, but her eyebrows were even more cold and hard, and her always shrewd eyes revealed a death-like silence and indifference. Aunt Lan was a little anxious, her old face showed an almost pleading look, and the corners of her eyes gradually moistened: "Young master, if you also miss what Wen Yan has done for you, if you also feel a little sorry for her, you should get married quickly, although I don't like that Yan Ran, but as long as you like it, I can accept it, she marries the Gu family, and I will be very good to her, just like you!" But I hope you are fair to Wen Yan, just let her go! โ€

Gu Heng raised his eyes slightly, looked at Aunt Lan's thin face expressionlessly, and the corners of his eyes that had been pulled down strictly, and pursed his lips into a line, he didn't speak or move, looking calm and calm, but the subconsciously twisted brows, and the uncontrollable slightly trembling fingers, all showed that he was surrounded by a huge unknown emotion at this time. After a long time, his pursed lips suddenly moved, and two words came out of his astringent throat: "I don't!" โ€

Aunt Lan looked at him in surprise: "Young Master......"

"I won't get married, I won't change my life because of her, Aunt Lan, you're wrong, I've never felt anything she did for me, and I didn't feel sorry for her at all, if you think I'm cruel, that's right, I won't get married, she can only stay by my side until she dies!" Gu Heng's voice turned cold suddenly, and after dropping the last cruel word, he turned around and walked out.

Aunt Lan felt her heart contract suddenly, and hurriedly got out of bed to pull Gu Heng, but he walked fast, and then slammed the door with a bang.

When Gu Heng walked out of Aunt Lan's room, he happened to meet Wen Yan coming downstairs. The two of them looked at each other.

It was just dawn at this time, Wen Yan got up very early because of insomnia last night, but she didn't expect Gu Heng to be earlier than her, she was a little surprised, and walked forward to say hello: "Young master." โ€

Gu Heng's dark eyes stared at her tightly and didn't speak, but the chill that burst out of her eyes stuck to her face like a stinger.

Wen Yan subconsciously avoided his gaze and walked to leave: "I'm going to prepare breakfast." โ€

Gu Heng stopped her, and at the moment when her footsteps stopped, he glanced at her with extreme contempt, and said lightly: "Is there anything to be busy with in the company?" โ€

"There are still some trivial matters that need to be dealt with briefly, and in addition, the cooperation project with SG is about to be launched."

Gu Heng turned around and sat on the sofa, picked up a newspaper casually, and said while reading, "Then why don't you hurry up and go to the company?" โ€

Wen Yan was slightly stunned: "The young master hasn't eaten yet, has he?" โ€

Gu Heng didn't look up and ignored her.

Wen Yan was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "I know, I'll go now." โ€

There was the iconic elongated Lincoln parked in front of the door and a black sports car that Gu Heng often drove out, and Lao Wu would wait there early every morning, waiting for Gu Heng to send at any time.

At this time, he was sitting in the driver's seat of Lincoln, and when he saw Wen Yan come out, he rolled down the window and waved to her, Wen Yan smiled, then shook his head, and gave him a grateful look.

Unless she is with Gu Heng, she never uses the family car when she is alone, although Gu Heng never allows it, although they are placed there and do not use them as decorations.

As soon as Wen Yan walked out of the gate of Gu's house, Gu Heng threw away the newspaper in his hand and got up and went upstairs.

Wen Yan's room is very clean, the color is single, except for a bed, a wardrobe, and some objects scattered on the desk, there is no other furnishings and furnishings, and the owner of the room, like a passer-by who comes and goes in a hurry, can take away all the qiฤ“ here with a small duffel bag.

Gu Heng's gaze naturally fell on the drawer under the desk.

Stretched out his hand and pulled, but didn't pull it open, Gu Heng squinted his eyes and looked at the metal lock cylinder on the drawer that glowed with cold light, frowning slightly.

Why didn't he remember that this drawer was locked in the past?!

After rummaging through the table randomly, and didn't find anything similar to a key, Gu Heng was a little deflated and a little angry, a piece of broken paper had to be locked, she cared so much about the agreement with him? Or are you so eager to get away from him?

Don't!!

Gu Heng's keen gaze once again scanned the room from beginning to end, and finally landed on the small cardboard box containing the silver paper clips on the desk.

Gu Heng smiled, proudly, with a little deep smile!

He graciously picked up a paper clip, broke it into a straight line with great grace, and then โ–กโ–ก the slender needle-like object into the damn keyhole with great grace.

Click!

Stuck!

Gu Heng's heart sank, it was too bad, the way he โ–กโ–ก it seemed to be wrong, and he used too much force, not only did he not find the right position, he successfully pried the lock open, but he couldn't pull it out!

Imagine the picture Wen Yan saw when he came back, the table was turned into a mess, the good paper clip was forcibly straightened, the lock on the drawer was picked, and a needle was stuck in it......

He is calm and calm at all times and places, and always has a shrewd smile in his eyes, even when he encounters the greatest difficulties and setbacks, Gu Heng, who has never even moved his eyebrows, suddenly sweats profusely at this time.

Before he had time to think about it, he lifted one foot and pressed it against the drawer, and with the force of his leg, he pulled the paper clip out.

Motionless!

I have to say that the picture in front of me is a little strange and a little funny!

Gu Heng was angry and anxious, his big hand turned back and forth on the table, picked up a pair of scissors, clamped the paper clip with the handle of the scissors, held it hard, and then gritted his teeth and pulled it out, and with another click, the paper clip was pulled out along with the lock cylinder, and a hole appeared in the original keyhole!

Gu Heng looked at the hole dumbfounded, stretched out his hand and pulled it, and the drawer opened!
