16. Chapter 16
As Nan Siwen said, on the third day, Gu Qingxia's feet were almost better. But her aunt was so angry that she couldn't get up in bed, so she rested at home for another day, and only went back to work on the fourth day, her face was still lacking in blood, and she looked a little pale, and she looked colder.
met Jing Yi in the elevator hall, she nodded and shouted: "Mr. Jing, morning." ā
Jingyi paused and replied, "Morning".
The two of them stopped talking and waited for the elevator quietly like everyone else. A colleague who looks like nothing more than ordinary.
For Jingyi, Gu Qingxia said to put it down, so he put it down.
If you have to say it, she actually didn't really love Jingyi, what she coveted was just the little feeling on Jingyi's body that made her feel warm. It's more just a false appearance imagined by a sensual animal like a woman, once shattered, how turbulent it is when it comes, and how swift it is when it retreats.
Jingyi is experiencing the most difficult withdrawal period.
Adult men and women are the kind of thing, the emphasis is on you and me, and each takes what he needs. If one party retreats, and if the other party is still entangled, it will lose its grace and look ugly.
A proud and excellent man like Jingyi can't allow himself to lose his demeanor and be ugly in front of women. The addiction during the withdrawal period is that no matter how uncomfortable and tormenting people are, he must also restrain his feelings, and his face will be calm and unwavering.
Just standing side by side in front of the elevator with Gu Qingxia, he still involuntarily looked at her quietly through the mirror of the elevator door.
Her face was a little pale, and it was about the time of the month when she was in pain again. For her problem, he has been together for three years, and he already knows a lot about her.
He had visited her at her home on the day she was on leave, and had seen Gu Qingxia, who was quiet and indifferent on weekdays, so that her lips trembled and she couldn't get out of bed. He took care of her to drink hot water and eat, and waited until she frowned and fell asleep before leaving.
He had only taken care of one woman before, and that was his wife.
At that time, he realized that he was about to fall.
However, this kind of thing is not something that you can control because you understand it in your heart.
Just like Jingyi at this moment, he clearly knew that letting go was what he should do, but he still couldn't control himself from observing Gu Qingxia from the mirror. He found that Gu Qingxia's gaze drooped slightly, and he lost focus before he reached the ground, and he didn't know where the air was, and it didn't spread to him at all. And her expression was also very calm, and she couldn't see any emotion.
At the very least, he couldn't see that she had the torment he was going through at the moment.
Realizing that she put him down so lightly, Jingyi felt an indescribable tightness in her chest. He forced himself to look away and look away......
It felt like it was a long time before the elevator finally came......
The people in the office had already heard about the incident that had happened to Gu Qingxia. As soon as she appeared in the office, everyone gathered around and asked questions. After all, it was an incident involving life safety, and the people in the office were more or less frightened, and they came to express the love between colleagues, and a slut like Vivian echoed a few words with an exaggerated face, of course, and at the same time did not hide her schadenfreude.
Gu Qingxia sent them away one by one.
In the pantry, Shang Hua held a cup and persuaded her: "Your attitude towards workers should indeed be restrained." It is completely unnecessary to make enemies for yourself. Don't think they have no weight and no energy, sometimes, the counterattack of the little people is even more terrifying. ā
This kind of terrible Gu Qingxia has experienced it personally, if it weren't for Nan Siwen, she might have become a nameless female corpse in a certain woods by now. This time, she nodded, indicating that she had been deeply taught.
"When you're done, come to the office and find me, and we'll hand it over." Shang Hua said. She has also begun to have morning sickness reactions, which is already an advanced maternal age, and it is a little harder than ordinary pregnant women. Now that I am determined to leave, I really want to hurry up this mess and go home and stay comfortably.
"Okay." Gu Qingxia responded.
She was a little envious. It is her dream to earn enough money at Shanghua's age and then retire.
She has a great performance, but at the same time, she is under far more pressure than others. The workplace is a place that destroys people. She's not untired, either.
Dazzling performance, glamorous life, house, car...... Behind this qiÄ was her blood and sweat. She even gave her body for it.
Every female saleswoman who can take a big order has a story, that's the truth. Unless they have a background and network like Shanghua, they can save a lot of detours by taking advantage of their natural advantages.
Gu Qingxia didn't. She came from an ordinary background, her father was a professor and her mother was a lecturer. In the workplace, they couldn't help her.
But they are all she has.
She did not hesitate to harm her body to escape the terrible cage and return to her home. But after returning home, he lost the will to live. Because her life can't be continued like pressing the pause button and then pressing the play button.
She had been missing for a whole year, and when she returned home, she had so many things to face......
Relatives, friends, classmates, neighbors...... All the care and curiosity, or the mere spying, were like sharp knives, cutting wounds on her body one after another.
For her sake, Mom and Dad sold their original house and moved. He cut off contact with his old friends, neighbors, and even some relatives.
They held up a sky for her, letting her know that no matter how malicious the world was to her, there was still a place for her under the sky they held up.
She looked at the white hair on their sideburns and wept bitterly.
Just a year ago, her father was still elegant and charming, and her mother was still sweet and charming. In just one year, they seemed to be ten years old. The gray hair that was born because of her, like ice and snow reflecting the harsh sun in winter, stung her.
She is an only daughter, and her parents still rely on her when they are old, she ...... It can't be like this......
Her destroyed will was thus re-established.
She was in a special situation and disappeared before her college enrollment was reported. For her sake, her parents went to the school leaders again and again, bowed their heads and begged for help, and finally made her return to the university campus. Luckily, the university has two campuses, one in the city and one in the suburbs. She returned to school under the guise of "sick leave", changed majors, and went to a suburban campus. Avoid those who were supposed to be in the same class as her, no one knew her name, no one knew about her.
Her life was finally restarted.
She entered the college campus a year later than others, and she put in more effort, completing the credits required for graduation in three years, and insisted that her life move forward at the pace it should be.
In three years of campus life, she cleared her mind. She set a goal for herself in life.
It's about making money.
Earn a lot of money, enough money, so that parents can no longer worry about her and live a comfortable old age.
She is straight ahead of this goal, and she has achieved remarkable results.
Not only did she buy a house and a car in the imperial capital, but she also replaced her parents with a better house at home so that they could live a more comfortable life.
But she was also really tired.
I worked hard during the day, and when I returned home at night, the house was deserted. Calling Mom and Dad is never good news or bad news. When encountering any difficulties, they gritted their teeth and carried them by themselves.
Every time she fell in love with Jingyi, she asked him to hold her for a long time before letting him go. She never asked Jingyi to spend the night with her, not because she didn't want to, but because she knew Jingyi couldn't.
In the imperial capital in the past few years, the only person who can give her some warmth and reliance is Jingyi.
Now, she pushed him away with her own hands......
Gu Qingxia rubbed the rim of the cup with his thumb.
It's almost ...... She thought that according to her current performance, at Shanghua's age, she could almost earn enough money.
By then, she will also be retiring. Leave this smog city, go to your parents, accompany them to see the mountains and rivers, and grow old with them......
With such a clear goal in life, even though she had only experienced a narrow escape from death a few days ago, Gu Qingxia regained her high fighting spirit.
Jing Yi would look up from time to time and glance at Gu Qingxia through the glass window. He could see the clarity and fortitude in her eyes, and she was no longer depressed from the fright she had just received the night before.
She's a woman who won't be knocked down by a light yƬ, he thought.
He tried to take his eyes off her, but found it difficult.
Nan Siwen answered the phone in the evening.
"I'm going home next week, do you have anything to piggyback?"
The man who spoke was his fellow countryman. His family lives in the town, which is the town where Wang Banxian, who gave Nan Siwen such a loud trumpet as "Siwen", lives.
Nan Siwen remembered the old lady who was left at home by him, he hesitated for a moment, and when he asked if the other party could come back, he brought his mother over.
He was thinking a while ago that he wanted to find a time to take his mother over and reunite, so that she would not be alone and pitiful. I'm afraid that she will always think about everything, and I'm worried that he will leave her alone, worrying too much and hurting her body.
The most important thing is that she is so old that she has never seen what the emperor is like.
He felt that no matter what, he should let his mother go out of the mountains and see the outside world. He could no longer endure the ignorance and ignorance of the mountain people, and he only had to recall that he had been like that, ignorant of the prosperity of the outside world, and ignorant of living in the mountains, he felt terrible.
When people are ignorant, they don't know that they're ignorant, and they don't feel that ignorance is terrible.
It is only when one realizes one's own ignorance that one feels the horror of ignorance.
For example, when he went home the year before last, some villagers asked him if he lived next to Tian/An/Gate and could see the president of the country every day?
In an instant, he understood Gu Qingxia's powerlessness when he faced him.
How foolish he must have been in her eyes then. Did she look at him like a fool?
At that time, he was unconscious, and he felt that he could give her a good life.
The truth is, he can't give her anything.
His fellow was an enthusiastic man, and after a little thought, he agreed, and praised his filial piety. According to the country's traditional values of thousands of years, in general, a filial person is easily recognized by others. Often considered someone to associate with.
Nan Siwen treats friends and fellow villagers righteously.
So when Zhang Quan and the others wanted to pull people together to buy a crane, they first thought of him. And I very much hope that he can join, so as to bring a few other people who are still hesitant to join in.
Nan Siwen hung up the phone and remembered it again.
Tomorrow...... He thought, tomorrow to explain to Zhang Quan. He has already figured it out, and the crane fee has been falling in recent years. The days when he earned more than 10,000 yuan a month have already become yesterday's yellow flowers, and his boss is sighing more and more. Obviously, this line is starting to twilight.
Zhang Quan's eyes were confused, and he saw that people were making money, and he couldn't see people's huge monthly expenses and turnover, let alone the difficulty of settling accounts.
It's a pit, and he'll be stupid if he jumps.
His money can't be moved, he has to plan clearly and find a way to make money profitable.
Over the years in the city, the biggest truth he has figured out is that men ...... Can't be without money.
He suddenly thought whimsically, if he became very rich, with enough money to give a woman a luxurious and decent life, in that case, would Gu Qingxia be willing to return to him?
He only thought about it for a moment, and then he felt ridiculous.
It's ridiculous.
But I still can't help but think, will it?
She...... Will it?
