Chapter Eighty-Nine: Wedding Invitations
The candlelight on the table flickered, there were no attendants, no waiters, no violins, and there was a quiet silence all around. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Gu Xiuzhun stretched out his slender fingers, picked up a glass of wine in front of him, shook it in the air twice, put it under his nose and smelled the aroma of red wine, took a small sip, he showed a gentle smile, his eyes were as clear and quiet as the moon, but they were very deep, as if he wanted to see her through.
He Jie sat and didn't speak, but at this time she was a little impatient: "What are you going to do with all the trouble coming to me?" β
Gu Xiuzhun put down the red wine glass in his hand, but in the process, his eyes always looked at He Jie's eyes, "Can't you find my fiancΓ©e out for dinner if it's okay?" β
Hearing this, He Jie said with great disdain, "It's just a political marriage, you know?" We're all forced, aren't we? He Jie looked at Gu Xiuzhun with expectant eyes, she just wanted to explain the same thing as Gu Xiuzhun, in fact, He Jie didn't approve of this kind of marriage at all, and hoped that he could have the same concept as her.
After He Jie finished speaking, the eyes of the man opposite looked to the ground, and there was a trace of sadness in the corners of his deep eyes, and this sadness was completely invisible to He Jie.
Gu Xiuzhun lowered his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth once again showed a smile, but most of the laughter contained was sad and ridiculous.
"Do you think that the 36 confessions I have made to you are all because of this marriage that has already been decided?" Gu Xiuzhun pursed his lips slightly, this small action may not be obvious in the dim light that only the candlelight flickered, "He Jie, I told you a long time ago that everything I do is not for the wishes of my parents, I have my own ideas, it is obvious that I have my own emotional world, I will not make many efforts on a meaningless matter, not to mention that I have not succeeded yet." Speaking of this, Gu Xiuzhun was a little excited, and after a pause, he continued, "He Jie, I won't marry someone I don't love just because my parents want it, do you know what I mean?" β
Gu Xiuzhun said this, He Jie's heart couldn't bear it for a long time, she had already been infected by Gu Xiuzhun's seriousness and seriousness at this time, she had never seen such a Gu Xiuzhun, he and Wei Hui were like two extremes, Wei Hui's calm and down-to-earth personality gave her a sense of safety and security; Gu Xiuzhun has a good sense of humor, even if he is sometimes serious and serious, it makes He Jie feel a little uneasy in his heart, and even a little dangerous. Unknowingly, He Jie compared the man in front of her with Wei Hui, and even He Jie didn't know why he did this. After all these years, Gu Xiuzhun may have become different, maybe he is no longer the chic and happy playboy he was back then.....
"I've liked you since a very early age, and that year when my parents told us we were engaged, do you know how happy I was? But when I saw your shocked look when I learned about it, I was a little disappointed and frustrated, and I tried to get you to accept me, but you got farther and farther away from me, until that time you ran away from home after a big argument with your uncle, and I never heard from you again......."
"I already have my own life now......" He Jie knew what Gu Xiuzhun was going to say, so she didn't want him to say any more.
"Are you married, or do you really already have a boyfriend, is that the one named Wei Hui?" Gu Xiuzhun questioned He Jie, only he knew how uneasy he was in his heart, he was afraid that she would say something like that I was married or that I already had a boyfriend.
He Jie knew from these words that Gu Xiuzhun had already checked himself, and he just wanted He Jie to tell him the truth.
"If you don't have anything else, I'm going back, and there's someone waiting for me!" He Jie didn't know how to answer, got up and was about to leave.
Just as He Jie stood up with the bag and just walked a few steps, Gu Xiuzhun hugged He Jie from behind, and he hugged her tightly, as if he was about to lose it forever as soon as he let go.
He Jie struggled to get out of it, and Gu Xiuzhun was very angry and asked him not to do it again in the future.
After hearing these words come out of He Jie's mouth, Gu Xiuzhun's heart was broken, his eyes were always looking at He Jie with deep affection, he swallowed hard and said to He Jie: "Actually, there is one more thing today, uncle's health is very bad, you better go and see him." One more thing is that tomorrow is the day of my sister Gu Qin's wedding, I hope you can come ....." Gu Xiuzhun said a little pleading, he was begging his beloved woman to attend a wedding that was more important to him.
Gu Xiuzhun took out a red invitation and put it in the corner of the table, he made one last effort, and said, "Xiao Qin hasn't seen you for a long time, she misses you very much." β
Hearing this, He Jie's heart softened, the last time she saw Gu Qin was at a banquet nearly six years ago, when she called her sister-in-law every day, she was a very cute little girl. However, she still didn't express the emotions in her heart, she still looked at Gu Xiuzhun with indifferent eyes, and put the invitation card into her bag, "I accepted the invitation, I don't know if I want to go or not." β
Even if He Jie said this, Gu Xiuzhun was very happy, he knew her very well, he knew that she had always been duplicitous, and she would always be a knife mouth and a tofu heart.
Gu Xiuzhun sent He Jie to the car and asked his subordinates to send He Jie back.
Back to the detective agency, everyone almost lay down on the bed to rest, from downstairs it looked like the detective agency was dark and the lights were not turned on, He Jie gently took out the key and stood at the door, ready to open the door but found that the door was still open. He Jie pushed the door in, it was pitch black inside, and after getting used to the darkness, He Jie gradually saw a figure on the sofa.
"He Jie, are you back?" The figure asked in a hoarse voice.
He Jie immediately heard that voice, it was Wei Huidi's voice.
"Why don't you sleep so late?" He Jie put down the bag and twisted her neck and asked.
Wei Hui got up from the sofa to help her put her bag, and he said to He Jie in a voice that he had never had before: "I said I would wait for you, are you okay, your face is not very good." Wei Hui turned on the light and saw He Jie's tired bloodless face, very worried.
"Wei Hui, I'll ...... tomorrow Going to the wedding of a friend I haven't seen in years, I.... I want to ask for leave tomorrow," He Jie asked Wei Hui if he could ask for leave.
Wei Hui didn't hesitate too much, didn't ask too much, agreed directly, and said that he would send her tomorrow.
"Where's the address?" Wei Hui asked the address in advance, so as not to drive the wrong way the next day and cause He Jie to be late.
They opened the invitation, and it said the address: Wynsdeya Hotel
