Chapter 7: There is still a little affection left
This Linda Wu just smiled professionally, and didn't care whether Tang Guo walked over or not, and exited the room with the waiter and closed the door of the private room. Tang Guo looked at the man who was sitting there just drinking the coffee in front of him indifferently, and didn't even bother to raise his head, and felt all kinds of emotions in his heart.
It's not that she hasn't thought about what the reunion looks like, she thought that yesterday's encounter was bad enough, but fortunately, he didn't pay attention to himself, and he wasn't embarrassed. But today it is ...... It's worse for yourself. Tang Guo rushed over as soon as he got off work, and for the sake of convenience, he had long hair and a pill head casually, which was a little messy because he was trotting over. I didn't sleep well last night, my face and skin condition are also very poor, and I have heavy dark circles under my eyes. In order to be comfortable and save money in recent years, Tang Guo's clothes are the simplest T-shirts and jeans, a little wrinkled after a day of work, and a little sweat, and she has no habit of wearing high heels now, the board shoes on her feet were bought last year, and it rained two days ago, so they were a little dirty.
In contrast, the white shirt and suit pants, the high-end watch on the wrist, and the shiny leather shoes of Juluo City are more attractive than the young boy back then. Tang Guo finally took a step, and walked towards him with some difficulty breathing, yesterday he didn't care about himself, he didn't recognize it, and today he sat face to face...... It's a little difficult not to recognize it, after all, he and the woman he loves have a long imagination, even if he forgets himself, he won't forget this look.
Tang Guo felt that the distance from the door to the seat was really far away, and it seemed that he had walked for a long time before he reached the table. Because Ju Luocheng didn't speak, she just stood next to her with her head down, not daring to look at Gu Luocheng who was sitting next to her, her fingers clutched her bag tightly, controlling her emotions and not wanting her voice to tremble, "Ju ...... Mr. Ju......"
Gu Luocheng finally put down the coffee cup in his hand and looked up, "Mr. Ju?" Tang Guo, I haven't seen you for a few years, have you even forgotten my name? β
Tang Guo trembled slightly, raised his head and met Ju Luocheng's gaze, his eyes did not have the slightest warmth, and there was a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth. So...... Did he recognize himself from the beginning, Tang Guo stood there a little blankly, not knowing how to react, and Gu Luocheng didn't speak, and the two were silent like this.
After a pause for a few minutes, Juluocheng looked away indifferently and raised his hand to gesture, "Sit down." β
Tang Guo moved himself a little stiffly, and sat down on the opposite side of Juluo City, although it was summer, the air conditioner in the coffee shop was still very sufficient, but Tang Guo's palms were now full of sweat, she lowered her head and looked at the desktop, and she didn't know what to say.
In the end, it was Glo City who raised his hand and pushed the orderer over, "What do you want to drink?" β
Tang Guo paused for a moment and shook his head slightly, "Ju...... CΓΌlo, I ...... Let's talk about car compensation. β
Juluocheng didn't pay attention to Tang Guo's words, and reached out and rang the service bell, "A cup of latte to ice, a piece of tiramisu, a banana boat, and an ice cream ball to strawberry, chocolate, and taro." β
After the waiter wrote it down, he immediately went out, but the emotions in Tang Guo's heart turned even more, and he didn't forget any of his habits...... It should be said that it is a habit after knowing Juluo City, Tang Guo is greedy for cold in summer, which will lead to illness in autumn, but he still can't change his habits, every time he likes to drink ice drinks, he wants a lot of ice cubes, chews ice cubes after drinking, and orders a banana boat to eat three ice cream balls in one go.
Later, after being with Culuocheng, he found that he had severe menstrual pain every summer because of the cold, and he would get sick in the autumn, so he didn't allow himself to eat like this anymore, and finally the two reached a consensus that the drink should be iced, and the rest of the habits would remain the same. Tang Guo was a little flustered, he didn't know what Ju Luocheng's actions meant, he had been indifferent, but he accurately reported everything he was used to.
Juluocheng seemed to be very patient, Tang Guo didn't speak, he didn't say anything, just sat there indifferently, looking at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and occasionally picked up a cup and took a sip of coffee. The efficiency of this shop is good, and after a while, the waiter knocked on the door and came in, and saw that Juluo City had brought a few things to Tang Guo.
Tang Guo looked at the delicate banana boat and tiramisu in front of her, as well as the latte with beautiful patterns on it, she didn't have the slightest appetite, in fact, she hadn't eaten these things for a long time, and she worked abroad to pay for her tuition and living expenses, where could she have the money to buy these. Now Tang Guo is not in the mood to eat them, such an atmosphere is really too depressing.
After sitting like this for a long time, Ju Luocheng's eyes finally turned back from the window, and he took out the folder from the side and put it on the table, "This is the repair order for my car, the compensation issue, Linda seems to have communicated with your friend, and the compensation can be compensated according to the price of the repair order." β
Tang Guo took the folder, opened it and looked at it, and suddenly froze, "160,000? β
"If you have any doubts, there is a phone number from the manufacturer in the back, you can ask." Ju Luocheng still played with the coffee cup indifferently, "Counting it for the sake of our acquaintance, I have already saved you a sum of money, my car cannot be repaired in China, and it has to be sent back to the original foreign manufacturer for repair, and I have not counted the round-trip expenses for you." β
Tang Guo's fingers pinched the folder, this price can actually be estimated, but ...... After being silent for a long time, Tang Guo clenched his fists and took a deep breath, "Because I ...... My boyfriend's car was just bought, and I haven't had time to get insurance yet, so I want to ask...... Can you quote part of the insurance on your side, and we will compensate for the rest according to the price. β
Gu Luocheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and then chuckled, "Boyfriend? You weren't there yesterday, and though you don't like to repeat what you've already said, but you don't seem to hear you very well yesterday, so I'll say it again, I'm not obligated to take responsibility for your mistakes. My car was parked there and didn't move, it was all hit, and I was helpless. β
"I know this......" Ju Luocheng chuckled with a little mockery, as if a sharp knife stabbed Tang Guo's heart, now he is facing him with such a humble posture, thinking about his mood when he left, Tang Guo really felt a little ridiculous, and after a long pause Tang Guo said with some difficulty, "But the price of 160,000 is indeed too difficult for me and my boyfriend, can I ask you...... Please help me and take a look at the insurance over there. β
"Please?" Gu Luocheng finally put down the cup in his hand, "Do you think you still have some affection for me?" β
Tang Guo's face turned pale in an instant, how much affection did he still have for him? Although he left because he found out that in Juluocheng's heart, he was just a stand-in, but he never mentioned this matter to anyone, the breakup was a text message, and he didn't even say a word to anyone, and when his roommates were in class, he packed his luggage and got on the plane to the United States without saying goodbye. In their eyes, they just dumped Juluo City...... So what kind of situation can he have with him, even if he deliberately embarrassed himself because of what happened back then, he has nothing to say, not to mention that now he is just asking for compensation according to the price.
Tang Guo took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision, "I know, I will compensate you for this money...... But can you give me a little time, I really can't come up with that much money right now. β
Gu Luocheng glanced at Tang Guo, did not answer, flipped through a file folder in front of him, and suddenly spoke, "You studied at Parsons School of Design in the United States and got a master's degree?" β
"Yes." Tang Guo replied reflexively, but he was a little confused, and he didn't know why the topic suddenly came to his academic qualifications...... Tang Guo's face suddenly became a little ugly, "You...... Investigate me? β
"I need to know if the debtor can afford to pay the debt." Gu Luocheng indifferently flipped through all the information that he had asked Linda to collect today, "I don't have time to stare at you to repay this money, I think...... You don't want to have too much to do with me, do you? β
Tang Guo's face suddenly became even more ugly, she didn't expect that the big boy back then would become the mean and arrogant appearance he is now, "So, now it can be determined." β
"The repair fee is 160,000 yuan, your monthly salary is more than 3,000, and your boyfriend's monthly salary is about 6,000 or 7,000, both of which are renting, and the monthly rent adds up to more than 3,000, plus the cost of living......" Ju Luocheng looked at Tang Guo with his chin raised slightly, "Do you plan to pay it off in a few years?" β
Tang Guo instantly felt as if he had been stripped naked and thrown here, looking at Juluo City. She suddenly felt that money was really a good thing, but it was something that only happened at this time yesterday, and after a day, he checked himself and Chu Bei so clearly, privacy? In front of the money, the privacy of these people is insignificant, "My income is here, but this money, I will get it back to you as soon as possible." β
"Why should I believe you?" Ju Luocheng didn't end the conversation because of Tang Guo's assurance, "Your boyfriend spends two or three thousand a month on games, and one or two thousand when he goes out to eat with his colleagues, what do you use to guarantee me as soon as possible?" β
Tang Guo's fingertips pinched tighter, did he even know about this kind of thing? "I ...... I have a deposit here, and I can pay it back, because my boyfriend's mother is going to buy a house here for a down payment, so it is enough to fill in the money owed to you first, but it will take a while for the aunt to come back...... So could you please give me some time? β
Ju Luocheng squinted his eyes and looked at Tang Guo carefully, and then as if he had seen what a funny thing was, he covered his lips and smiled, watching Tang Guo become more and more restrained, before he slowly stopped, "Tang Guo, I haven't seen you for a few years, your vision is so bad?" β
