180 - Time has not been kind to him
Tang Muchuan does have the ability to give Qin Se the qualifications to be arrogant, but a person like Qin Se who is as quiet as Qin Se is afraid that he will never have such an arrogant day.
On the sixth day of the attack on Forget Worry Island, Tang Muchuan, Qin Se, Gu Chen, and Mu Yan boarded a helicopter back to T City together. After staying on Forget Worry Island for one more day, Kisai will go to the United States to temporarily take over the organization of Yiqiē on behalf of Tang Muchuan.
In the evening, the plane landed directly in the open space in front of the main house of Jingyuan, and Zhang Jing led the others who had been waiting for a long time.
This time back in T City, living in Jingyuan was proposed by Gu Chen, Tang Muchuan has no reason to object, because this is the best arrangement at present, Jingyuan is built by the mountain, living by the water, it is one thing to be suitable for recuperation, the most important thing is safety, Tang Muchuan's identity is not suitable for living in a hotel, not to mention bringing a wounded.
Jingyuan is big enough, there are enough rooms, Mu Yan stays together, and it is much more convenient to take care of Qin Se.
Gu Chen was the first to get off the plane, and Zhang Jing stepped forward and bowed slightly:
"Mr. Gu."
Zhang Jing's heart was a little apprehensive, after all, a few days ago because of her negligence to guide Nan Sheng's temporary departure, although when she called Gu Chen afterwards, she learned that nothing happened to Nan Sheng, just went out to relax, but after all, she couldn't feel at ease, if she had found out earlier, maybe Mr. Gu would have come back this time, and it would have been Nan Sheng himself who would greet him.
Gu Chen felt Zhang Jing's restraint, but he didn't break it, but just commanded in his usual way of speaking:
"Inform the kitchen, and eat in half an hour."
Does Gu Chen blame Zhang Jing? He didn't blame it, he was just a little impulsive because he was too worried about Nan Sheng's safety, he didn't imprison Nan Sheng by staying in Jingyuan, so it was her freedom to go wherever Nan Sheng went, and Zhang Jing, as the housekeeper of Jingyuan, really didn't have the right to interfere with Nan Sheng's whereabouts.
Therefore, even if Zhang Jing told Nan Sheng to go out for the first time at that time, Nan Sheng was probably still in Sichuan at the moment.
As the male owner of Jingyuan, Gu Chen naturally wouldn't explain these things to Zhang Jing, but he told Zhang Jing with the most natural attitude: Don't worry too much.
Hearing this, Zhang Jing smiled and nodded:
"Yes, Mr. Gu."
Zhang Jing pointed to a maid and asked her to go to the kitchen to inform, and she pushed a wheelchair and walked over, and when Tang Muchuan carried Qin Se off the plane, Zhang Jing said appropriately:
"Mr. Tang, Miss Qin is injured, this is a wheelchair prepared for her."
Tang Muchuan was reluctant to let Qin Se sit in a wheelchair, but before she could refuse, Qin Se let go of the hands around his neck, and his voice was light and fluttering, without any strength, but very firm: "Let me go." ”
"I can hold you."
Qin Se looked at him, his eyes were a little cold:
"It's uncomfortable."
Tang Muchuan just wanted to say, 'How is it possible', but Mu Yan, who got off the plane behind him, spoke at the right time:
"She really won't be comfortable, the wound is in the chest, if you hold her like this, it will involve the wound, it's better to sit in a wheelchair, and you don't want to be angry with Zhang Jing, this is what I told Gu Chen in advance for him to prepare."
This statement made Tang Muchuan no longer have a reason to insist, although he was reluctant, but he finally carefully placed her in the wheelchair, Zhang Jing took the thin blanket in the hand of the servant, and carefully covered Qin Se's body, Qin Se felt kindness in her gestures, so he responded to her with a smile:
"Is Ah Sheng here?"
Qin Se's question could have been asked to Gu Chen, but she didn't have many opportunities to see Gu Chen on Forget Worry Island, and in that conversation, she only asked Nan Sheng if she was okay, but she didn't know if she was in T City now, flying all the way, she was drowsy because of her physical discomfort, so that this question was shelved by her until now.
Zhang Jing smiled:
"Miss Nan has been to the Sichuan earthquake area for a few days, and she hasn't come back yet."
Even though Qin Se lives on the news-closed island of Forget Worries, she naturally knows about the Sichuan earthquake, an event that the whole world is paying attention to.
Hearing Zhang Jing say this at this moment, disappointment flashed in Qin Se's eyes, but it only took a few seconds to be relieved, because Qin Se knew that going to the earthquake area was indeed very complex to Nansheng's style, so he didn't care, anyway, they would stay in T City for a while, and they would always wait for Nansheng.
Seeing that Qin Se was no longer talking, Zhang Jing wanted to push the wheelchair into the room, but was stopped by Tang Muchuan: "I'll come." ”
Zhang Jing didn't insist and quietly stepped aside.
Gu Chen stood aside, looking at this scene, and smiled faintly, before Mu Yan stepped into the house, Gu Chen stopped his name:
"You guys have a good rest here, and I'll go out for a while."
Mu Yan glanced him up and down, and asked where it was not his character to go, so in the end he just said one word:
"Okay."
――
Carefully calculated, Gu Chen has not come to Mr. Li's flower shop for a long time, and he did not take the initiative to come over at this moment, but received a call from Mr. Li before returning to Forget the Island of Worries, she said that she hoped to have time to meet her, Gu Chen could probably guess what the content of the meeting and conversation was, and agreed.
Because he had called in advance, even though it was very late now, Mr. Li's flower shop was still lit at the moment, and when Gu Chen walked in, the wind chimes at the door swayed gently, making a pleasant sound, and Li Ying, who was reading in the rest area, looked over when he heard the sound, and a faint smile rose on the corner of his mouth:
"Come and sit."
Gu Chen put the gift he bought on the low table in the rest area, and Teacher Li glanced at it with a soft smile:
"I've told you too many times, you don't have to bring me something every time you come, I haven't used the things that Xiao Zou sent me last time, it's a waste of time."
The little Zou in Li Ying's mouth is Zou Yu, when Gu Chen has no time to come over in person, Zou Yu will come back to visit Li Ying regularly, and send some nutrition and daily necessities, this is what Gu Chen meant, Zou Yu has always remembered and never slackened.
Gu Chen smiled lightly:
"I could have given the teacher something better, but the teacher didn't want anything, and if the teacher didn't accept these things, I would feel uneasy."
Li Ying smiled and didn't insist anymore, she knew that her refusal was no different from Gu Chen's, and he would probably still come according to his own will, so let him be.
After a moment of silence, Li Ying poured a cup of tea for Gu Chen, and when the fragrance of tea lingered on the tip of his nose, Gu Chen heard Li Ying open his mouth and entered the main topic of today's conversation:
"I haven't seen Ah Sheng in a while."
When it comes to that girl, Gu Chen's heart is always soft, and the smile almost uncontrollably climbed up the corners of his mouth, and he nodded slightly:
"Something happened at home, she wasn't in a good mood, she recently went to the earthquake zone, where she was taking care of a baby, and I was going to pick her up."
Li Ying was not surprised, she smiled lightly:
"I've read the newspaper, although I don't understand things in the mall, but Nan's can go from the best to strangers in such a short period of time, I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"
Gu Chen glanced at Li Ying, but did not answer immediately, but picked up the teacup, took a sip, and when the fragrance of tea spread throughout his mouth, he asked Li Ying lightly: "What does Teacher Li want to say?" ”
Li Ying looked at Gu Chen, but after a long time, she sighed lightly, and she said:
"Don't hurt Ah Sheng, that's a good boy."
"Teacher." Gu Chen put down the teacup, but his eyes did not leave, his fingertips rubbed the rim of the cup, and his tone was very light: "I am the one who is the most unwilling to see her hurt." ”
Li Ying shook his head slightly:
"If you want people not to know, unless you don't do it, this truth is eternal, the more you want to hide, the more you want to hide, it will often appear in front of you in a surprise posture, so that you can't avoid it, I don't doubt your determination to protect her, but there are too many variables in this world, you can't be by her side all the time, protect her safely."
Gu Chen was silent.
Li Ying said this, and she had no intention of saying anything, after all, the child she knew, even though she hadn't seen him for many years, she still believed that he was kind-hearted, and some things didn't have to be said too thoroughly, he would understand.
Both of them let the silence spread for a long time, until the hot tea cooled. Gu Chen didn't seem to notice it, he drank it all in his cup, and when the bitter taste spread in his mouth, he frowned slightly, not that he couldn't bear it, but he felt that this bitter taste was injected into the deepest part of his heart, and it could no longer linger.
Li Ying glanced at him, and his tone was light:
"A few days ago, someone came to me and asked me if I remember that little boy 20 years ago and if I know where he went."
Gu Chen looked at Li Ying:
"Probably Ah Sheng."
"I didn't ask, I just said that after so much time, I have long forgotten about it, but even if it is really Ah Sheng, I believe that the kid has no malicious intentions, and wants to find you, mostly to make up for you."
yes, what malice could she have? She probably hadn't thought about all the things in the past few days in the direction of revenge, if it really was her...... Gu Chen smiled bitterly, how could she be so kind, in the face of her father's imprisonment, she would still care about the little boy at the beginning.
Ah Sheng, Ah Sheng, you make me feel so distressed......
Why did Li Ying know so well the ins and outs of that year? The reason couldn't be simpler, 20 years ago, she was Gu Chen's teacher, after her mother's death and her father's refusal to recognize him, as a teacher, she took care of the little boy for a period of time and gave him the warmth he needed most at that time.
Later, his father reappeared, and even if Li Ying wanted to keep him, he had no reason but to watch him being taken away by his father and handed over to a woman.
Li Ying was uneasy, but between the disputes, Gu Chen's father told him that the woman was Gu Chen's aunt and wanted to take him to the United States to live and stay away from this sad place.
didn't want to be unblocked at the beginning, but just added a more melancholy color to Gu Chen's sad childhood......
