71. Chapter 71
When he heard the footsteps, Gu Qingyan glanced up lazily.
That glance, revealing a little carelessness, fell into Su Zi's eyes, but he felt that his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the outside.
She walked around the couch to sit down next to the man, but his gaze was fixed on her so coldly that she had to turn around and sit down across from him.
Su Zi put her left leg on her right leg, reached out and took out the cigarette case, skillfully took out a cigarette, and when she held it in her mouth, she glanced up at Gu Qingyan, her lips moved slightly: "Don't mind if I smoke here?" ”
This woman is really arrogant, and she can still face him like this if she fails the mission.
And he even tolerated it, perhaps because of her face, so that he couldn't say anything to refuse.
Seeing that the other party did not speak, Su Zi smiled lightly, lowered his head slightly and lit a cigarette. Her movements are extremely beautiful, and the angle at which she bows her head is very similar to Lin April.
The blue eyeshadow blurred in the corners of Su Zidi's eyes, charming and public, Gu Qingyan's eyes flashed slightly, and he came back to his senses.
"I've already remitted the reward to your card, so you don't need to continue this mission in the future."
Hearing this, Su Zi raised her eyes in some surprise, her eyes were a little deep in the smoke, and after a while, she asked, "What, I have no use value, you are going to kick me away?" ”
Gu Qingyan wrinkled her eyebrows to look at her, and her tone became colder and colder: "Put away your fantasies, we have never had anything to do with each other." ”
Su Zi didn't feel annoyed when she heard him say such heavy words, but just said lightly: "You are really ruthless, I really like you." ”
"Like?" The man raised his voice slightly, a slight smile gradually appeared in his indifferent eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Your liking has nothing to do with me. ”
After a brief conversation between the two, Su Zi took her bag and left. Before leaving, she deliberately emphasized: "As long as it is something I like, I will definitely get it." ”
In this regard, Gu Qingyan was stingy with even a look.
When the footsteps were gone, he buried himself in the couch, his elbows on his knees, his right hand on his forehead, and silently meditated.
Lights and shadows intertwined with his body, making his face obscure.
***
The wedding date is getting closer and closer, and Li Yu's family has also begun to prepare for the wedding.
These days, April was dragged by Li Lanlan to the beauty salon for maintenance, and after picking it up, it seemed that she was indeed a few years younger. Perhaps because people are in good spirits on happy occasions, the smile on April's face gradually increased, neutralizing the edges and corners of her face.
Compared with the lively situation here, Xia Bai is much quieter here. I came to see her a few times later in April, but I don't know if it was fate, and I could miss it with Gu Qingyan every time. Although the man didn't say anything on his face, Xia Bai knew that he probably wouldn't feel too happy in his heart.
"Qingyan, are you attending the wedding in April?"
Look, she's deliberately provoking him with words again.
Since he figured it out, Xia Bai was no longer obsessed with the past, but after watching that after so many years, Gu Qingyan was still alone, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious.
"Her wedding, why should I go?" Gu Qingyan didn't look at Xia Bai, but just looked out the window.
In the distance, on the eaves, a flock of white doves frolicked.
"After all, classmates, Xiao Li and I will go when the time comes, won't you come?"
The man lowered his eyes slightly, and his gaze fell on the pot of cacti by the windowsill. He stretched out his hand and carefully touched the thorns on the cactus, but if he was careful, he would still be stabbed.
After a long time, he replied in a cold voice: "I won't go." ”
When Xia Bai heard this, he sighed quietly in his heart, and he didn't say more.
She thought that between April and Gu Qingyan, after all, there were still two parallel lines, and there would never be a day when they intersected.
On the eve of the wedding, Li's mother suddenly received an unsigned letter, and when she touched the thickness, she felt that there were still a lot of things inside. Although she was a little confused, she walked to the secluded place and tore the seal from the envelope.
Inside the envelope was a dense stack of information about April.
Mother Li calmed down, slowly browsed this information, took a general look at April's life background, and when she closed the information, she let out a deep breath.
Li Yu has been unable to let go of his knot because of the past, and he has reached the age of thirty and has not had a girlfriend again. So when he brought April back, as a mother, she was happy that Li Yu could finally come out of the shadow of the past.
At that time, she thought that since her son liked it, then she would like it too. What's more, April is reliable and responsible, although the family background is not good, but the young couple lives as long as the daughter-in-law is virtuous.
She admitted that she was a little anxious, seeing that her peers were all around her knees, and she also wanted to hug her grandson.
And now, she realizes that she has done something wrong, and now, she wants to get that mistake back.
On this day, April saw that the sun outside was very good, so she washed the sheets and quilts in the house, and when she heard the doorbell, she was slightly stunned, who would come at this point in time?
With such doubts, she walked over and opened the door, and when she saw that it was Mother Li, she was suddenly a little cramped.
"Auntie, why are you here, come in and sit." April opened slightly to the side.
Mother Li bowed slightly and walked in from April's side.
She rarely came to Li Yu's apartment, and the clean and tidy hall in front of her made her eyes light up, and then she sighed quietly.
April is actually good, it's just ......
After taking Mother Li to the sofa and sitting down, April went to the kitchen to make her a cup of tea, and when she gently put the tea in front of Mother Li, the other party pushed something forward in her hand.
April's gaze froze, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
"I received it yesterday, I don't know who sent it, you can take a look first."
Hearing the solemnity in Li's mother's words, April paused, reached out and picked up the text, and pulled out the information inside.
It's a very detailed profile.
April lowered her eyes and watched quietly, except for the slight tremor of her eyelashes, there was nothing abnormal.
In the quiet atmosphere, there is only the rustle of flipping through the papers.
April's hand is very steady, the speed of browsing is very fast, and it is said at a glance and ten lines, after all, no one knows her background better than her. The statements in the information are very objective and do not exaggerate, but they summarize her experiences in detail.
By the time I finished reading this information, it was only fifteen minutes later.
Seeing that April put down the information in her hand, Mother Li took a sip of tea from the teacup and sighed: "April, I know that you are a very good child, hardworking and kind, not arrogant or impatient, and good to Ah Yu, but-"
She paused, and a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes full of fine lines, "Our Li family is innocent, and we have never done anything illegal or criminal, and Ah Yu's wish to be a policeman is to become a policeman, although he later became an architect by mistake, but he is an honest and pure person." ”
At the end, Mother Li said meaningfully to April: "I said this, do you understand? ”
April kept his head hanging and his eyes on the pattern of the teacup.
She reached out and rubbed the edge of her teacup, again and again, "I understand." ”
Mother Li showed a relaxed smile and looked at April with a little gratitude, "Thank you, April." ”
Mother Li left, and the document was left behind, still on the small coffee table on the other side. When April passed by, he glanced at it, paused slightly, and then put away the document.
She hung the quilt sheet on the drying rack, froze on the couch for a while, then got up and walked to the bedroom, digging out her suitcase.
April's movements slowed down, stuffing her clothes one by one, and if you looked closely, there was actually no focus in her eyes, and there was still a trace of confusion in her eyes.
She had very little luggage, and it didn't take long to pack it, and as for the tools she used to set up her stall, it would be good to find a time to mail it back.
Now all she can do is wait, wait for Li Yu to come back, and make it clear to him.
Li Yu came back very early today, and after putting his briefcase on the sofa, he sat next to April and reached out to wrap his hand around her shoulder.
"Did you cook any delicious dishes today?"
His tone was brisk, and he was clearly in a good mood, and if there were no surprises, he would have a raise next month.
April hid her face in the shadows and whispered, "Li Yu, I have something to tell you." ”
"What's that?" Li Yu didn't notice the strangeness of April, and his eyes were full of happy and beautiful future for him and April.
April clasped the flesh in his palm hard, and his voice was steady: "Let's break up." ”
The air suddenly fell silent.
She noticed that Li Yu's hand on her shoulder tightened slightly, and it hurt a little.
"What stupid are you talking about?" Li Yu's voice was full of restraint, and he seemed to feel that he was too strict, so he pretended to be relaxed.
"I've figured it out." April did not raise his head.
The words that did not fluctuate fell into Li Yu's ears like a needle, piercing his heart with pain.
He pursed his lips: "I don't agree. ”
Because he knew that April never joked and every word was serious, he was even more unacceptable. It was too sudden, they were about to get married, and the new house was about to start decorating, and everything was going on a good side, but she broke up with him at this time.
"April, you're joking, aren't you?" Li Yu pulled April's shoulders over, forcing her to face him.
April turned around without resistance, and finally raised her eyes to look at him.
It was an expressionless face, with dark eyes that were empty, but a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Li Yu, I lied to you when I told you to forgive you and the like."
