Aunt Lan was stunned, but she didn't speak, and left the Gu family? What do you mean?

Wen Yan's body leaned forward and held Aunt Lan's somewhat thin hand, her hand was not big, the skin on the back of her hand was rough and sharpened by life, there was almost no flesh on it, only a layer of wrinkled skin remained, wrapped around her slender and fragile joints.

"Aunt Lan, I have been in the Gu family for so long, you are the best for me, you have always taken care of me as a relative, there are some things that I have never said to you, and now, I don't want to hide them anymore."

Aunt Lan's heart sank, and she felt a strong uneasiness, but she didn't interrupt, Wen Yan had never said such a thing to her, and she wanted to hear her continue.

"You know, five years ago, when I first came to the Gu family, I owed a lot of money, and I was almost desperate, but it was the young master who helped me pay off all the money and left me in the Gu family, so I didn't live on the streets...... In fact, I am very grateful to him, but I don't know how to repay it, for me, the money is an astronomical amount, it doesn't make a difference if there is more than one zero and one less zero, because I can't earn it in my life, so I can only sell myself and be a maid in the Gu family for a lifetime, and then he said, don't pay me back, as long as I am always by his side until the day he gets married......"

Wen Yan'an said quietly, simple and crisp, without much embellishment, but some things were omitted as if nothing was missing.

Those things, she didn't want to mention, and she didn't want to remember.

"For five years, I have always felt that this day is far away, even more distant than paying off all the money, I am almost out of strength to wait, but now I suddenly see hope, how can I give up this hope......" Wen Yan's voice was very soft, but the words were full and clear, "so I want to save the fire." ”

Aunt Lan was stunned!

So that's it! It turned out to be so!

Because of such hope, she can bear so much, so she can not care about anything, not even her life, everyone thinks that her life is destined to belong to the Gu family, belongs to Gu Heng, only she herself knows, she is not, never is, she even wants to leave earlier, in the past five years, they only saw her soft and obedient smile, but ignored the deeper and more real things hidden in her heart, she has always been silent, forbearing, without a little temper, doing everything properly and thoughtfully, and being kind to everyone, Endure Gu Heng's gloomy and strange temper, and always tolerate Yan Burn, this qiē is just because she has been silently planning her future, so she is careful not to allow anyone to disturb and destroy, but no matter where she is in the future, calmly or freely, happy or unhappy, it has nothing to do with them, nothing to do with Gu Heng.

Her calculations are so shrewd, so forbearing, all because she wants to escape, and she escapes far away from Gu Heng, but he doesn't know!

Outside the window, the sun hung high, and the hot wind blew in, and the air was dull and sticky. Aunt Lan suppressed the ups and downs in her heart and asked calmly, "After leaving the Gu family, where are you going and what are you going to do?" ”

Wen Yan pursed her slightly pale lips, and a smile appeared out of thin air on her always cold face, even in the dull air, that smile was clean and bright, it was easier and better than she had ever been, and then, she replied: "I haven't thought about it yet, in fact, I want to open a cake shop, a small storefront, but it's very warm, or be a professional makeup artist, use my hands, so that every girl can become beautiful, well, maybe go to a small company to be an ordinary clerk, 9 to 5, don't need to make too much, life is simple." ”

Her wish is as simple as that, but the Gu family can't even give it. So why keep her?

Aunt Lan's heart was sour, she knew that Wen Yanhui had a lot of things, and she was smart, even if she wasn't in the Gu family, she could live well.

"Will you come back, then?"

It was just a sparse and ordinary sentence, but the smile on Wen Yan's face paused and did not answer.

Aunt Lan immediately understood, her meaning was already very clear, she would never come back to the Gu family again, and she would never want to see Gu Heng again, when she suddenly felt a choked throat and couldn't speak.

Wen Yan didn't speak, just looked at Aunt Lan quietly, she knew that Aunt Lan had something to say to her, she was just thinking and making a difficult decision. Wen Yan wasn't sure if Aunt Lan would tell Gu Heng about her thoughts, and Gu Heng knew what kind of intensification she would make in the future, and even ruin her agreement. It's just that the most difficult thing to understand is the human heart, even Wen Yan himself doesn't understand, why he said these words to Aunt Lan, maybe no matter how muddy he has experienced, no matter how uncertain his heart is at the moment, he really wants to believe it once, wants to rely on it once, in this person who can be called "family".

Aunt Lan looked at Wen Yan fixedly for a long time, and she didn't speak, and the meaning under her somewhat cloudy gaze was very deep, with sympathy and compassion. After a long time, the other hand covered the back of her slightly cool hand and shook it vigorously: "The young master never mentioned this matter, he probably forgot, in fact, it's okay." After a pause, his throat moved, and he couldn't help choking up, "If you want to go, let's go, I won't remind the young master of this matter." Wen Yan, if you can live a relaxed and happy life, you can be yourself, I would rather you leave and not come back, and I would rather you no longer be a person from the Gu family. ”

Wen Yan was stunned, the corners of his eyes slowly swelled with wetness, his heart was sour, but there was a smile on his face.

Aunt Lan was also sour for a while, feeling distressed for Wen Yan on the one hand, and apologetic to Gu Heng on the other: "You just said that you are grateful to the young master?" ”

After a moment of silence, Wen Yan said lightly: "Of course I am grateful to him." After a pause, "I am grateful to him for lending me money and helping me in my most desperate time." ”

Aunt Lan held Wen Yan's hand tightly, her expression was condensed, and her eyes were determined: "I will remember this sentence, and on the day you leave, I will tell him it." ”

The summer breeze is hot and dry, and a few noisy cicadas can occasionally be heard after the thick shade, with a sense of hoarse exhaustion. Shen Silent parked the car on the side of the road and walked down.

It is an old-fashioned retro house, with a large verdant tree in front of the door, and a few flowers and plants in the yard shyly popping out of the open gate, swaying back and forth in the wind. In the yard was a huge dog on a leash, squatting lazily on the ground, sticking out its tongue hotly. The sticky green moss and new vines climb the walls outside, which are so dense that they cover the windows, and the balustrade on the balcony on the second floor is wooden, very quaint, but delicate, and if you look closely, you can see the fine patterns carved into it. The sun casts a golden light on the roof, and the whole house looks both silent and quiet.

This is the Wen family, one of the most famous wealthy families in L City, as long as you move your fingers, you can make the entire business world change color, so far no one can accurately estimate the assets of the Wen family, but it is such a rich family, living in such a simple and solemn old house, although it is planted with flowers and plants, but it is strange that there is no trace of fresh breath, every grass and tree is like a fake, like a haze, lifeless.

Shen Silent paused briefly in front of the door and walked through the door.

The servant of the Wen family called to say that Wen was uncomfortable and asked him to come and see, but he didn't ask in detail on the phone, so he rushed over directly.

In the quiet living room, a middle-aged man in a dark brown shirt sat in an armchair with a straight posture, his head slightly bowed, and he looked at the newspaper seriously, probably old, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were very deep, and his temples also highlighted a few white hairs. Despite his neat clothes and neatly combed hair, he could no longer add any luster to his thin face.

Shen Silent walked up and called respectfully: "Uncle." ”

The man put down the newspaper, and then slowly raised his head, his sunken eye sockets were still blazing: "Shen Silence, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

His voice was very deep and thick, his eyes were full of courage and perseverance, but his cheeks were a little sunken, and the whole person looked extremely thin, Shen nodded silently, and said with some apologies: "It's because I don't often come to see my uncle, so you miss it." ”

The man smiled and waved his hand generously at Shen Silence: "Then come often, it just so happens that I'm not interesting at home, you come to accompany me more, let's have a cup of tea, play a game of chess, and talk well." ”

Shen Shi nodded sincerely: "Okay." ”

The two of them were chatting, and Ah Duo, the servant of the Wen family, was walking down from upstairs, and when he saw Shen Silent in the room, he hurriedly quickened his pace and walked over, and called him politely: "Young Master Shen." ”

Master Wen glanced at Ah Duo, as if he understood something, raised his eyes to look at Shen Shi, and asked, "You are here to see Wen, she is in the room, you go up to see her, let's talk later." After speaking, he picked up the newspaper and continued to read, and in the dim light, his face was so calm and peaceful.

Shen Jing followed Ah Duo upstairs and watched her knock on the door twice.

"Come in." Wen was leaning against the head of the bed to look through something, and said without raising his head.

"Miss, Young Master Shen is here." Ah Duo pushed open the door and leaned over to let Shen Jing in, she had been working in the Wen family for a long time, and she was naturally clear about the relationship between Shen Ling and Wen Gu, this time she called Shen Su when she saw that Wen Gu was uncomfortable.

Wen Gu didn't seem to expect Shen Silence to come, and was briefly stunned when he looked up at him, and then showed an elegant and decent smile: "Why are you here?" ”

Shen Jing walked in directly, sat down on the edge of her bed, reached out and probed her forehead, but her voice was not warm: "They said you were sick?" ”

"Sick?" Wen Gu paused, turned his head and glanced at Ah Duo coldly, but smiled on his lips, "No, it's just that my throat is a little uncomfortable." ”

Ah Duo was shaken by Wen Lao's cold eyes, and immediately understood that she had done something wrong. Although she has been a maid in the Wen family for so long, and she takes care of Wen Gu closely, she really can't figure out her moody personality, and she is not sure what she said and what she did would make her happy or unhappy, this time she made her own decisions, thinking that she would be happy if she called Shen Jing to come and see her, but Wen Gu's cold eyes clearly meant anger and dissatisfaction, so she involuntarily shrank back and said in a low voice: "Miss, I'll go down first." ”
