Volume 1 Chapter 251 He's Better Than You!

It has been said that time can ⊥ people forget many things, even things that we once thought we would never forget.

As the elevator slid down rapidly, the whole person had a little sense of weightlessness, which made Eliza, who was in a daze looking at the numbers jumping on the control panel next to the elevator door, couldn't help but recall some things that she had forgotten for a long, long time.

She will never forget that on the day of the month, Christmas Eve, on her birthday, she received one of the most painful and sad gifts in her life, the breakup

There was no reason, no warning, and not even any psychological preparation for her

It was colder and snowier than it was now, so she put on her newly bought clothes, dressed up seriously for an afternoon, and booked a spot in his favorite restaurant with a view of Paris at night, because he said that there was a panoramic view of the beauty of Paris, and she also booked a romantic candlelit dinner.

At that time, the company they had partnered with was in financial crisis, and life was very difficult every day, and the things he designed were not looked at, and frustration and depression occupied his soul, but she did not, and she was still full of confidence in the future, because she believed that this man with the same name as the French contemporary artist Rodin would be able to become the best designer in the world, and she never doubted her vision.

Therefore, the opposition of the family did not stop her, and even she had always been very conservative, because her parents divorced when she was young, so that she regarded the concept of marriage and love more than anything else, and she was already planning to give him her most precious everything on this night, in order to prove her confidence and affection for him.

But this night, she didn't wait for the man named August, just waited for a phone call.

Her mother called and told her one thing, there was a man named Auguste, the man she was willing to give up everything for it, even her mother, who chose the latter between her and money, status, fame and fortune.

Sometimes, men were cowardly, so that she had never seen the man named August since that night, and she had never received anything about him, and it was as if he had completely disappeared from her life.

At the beginning, she was like crazy, thinking about him all over her head, and she couldn't figure out one thing, what was she talking about?

Could it be that money, fame and status are really that important to him?

Or is it that he has always overestimated his own importance, and he is not as important to him as he imagined? Just a woman who can be abandoned anytime, anywhere?

She did not return home, to her mother, as her mother had hoped, because she could not stand it, so she chose to leave and go to her father's homeland, the Netherlands, where she continued her studies and continued to soothe her wounded soul with the healing elixir of time.

Thinking of this, the corners of Eliza's mouth flashed a moving smile, but it was very cold, a bit like laughing at her weakness back then, because if she remembered correctly, she also took the elevator down that night, and the weightlessness made her almost fall down, and it was also that night that she cried so much that her eyes were almost blind

If I had to do it again, how could I have shed tears for a man like that again?

The bell jingles and the elevator arrives.

As the elevator door slowly opened, Eliza, who was just about to step out of the elevator, was startled by the man standing in front of the elevator in front of her, and the man seemed to be frightened by the woman in the elevator door that suddenly opened.

He used to be very white, and Eliza used to think that his whiteness was a charm, but now it seems that it is a pathology.

Men should be a little masculine, a little burdensome, and able to carry women and families on their shoulders.

The two looked at each other face to face, did not speak for a long time, the elevator door slowly closed, the man outside was startled, quickly stretched out his hand, inserted in the middle of the door, fortunately, the elevator has the function of anti-pinching hands, and slowly opened.

"Long time no see." The man walked into the elevator and stood beside Eliza, straight, his pale face somewhat bloody.

Eliza looked ahead, of course she knew that with his current status, it was not difficult to find the hotel where she was staying, so she was not surprised at all that he came to the door, she was surprised that she was not angry.

You must know that in the first two years, she kept saying to herself that if she saw this man again, she would definitely cut him with a thousand knives, and even take a knife and dig out his heart to see if it was still red, she had imagined countless ways and words to torture him and hate him for such a meeting.

But now, when she suddenly saw and met, she found that she didn't hate it.

God, is this world crazy? Or is it not the world that is crazy, but me?

August didn't speak, he looked at Eliza, she was even more beautiful than before.

In the past, Eliza was a well-known and stunning beauty in the Parisian social circle, but at that time she was not very old, talented, noble-born, and did not look at the world at all, she always said that she did not like people, even the prince of Monaco, she was not rare, and as long as it was someone she liked, even if it was a beggar on the street, she had to love.

And her greatest wish is to be able to help her loved ones realize the biggest dream in life

Paris is a very realistic place, especially in the circle they are in, only listen to the new people laugh, do not see the old people crying, in just a few years, everyone has forgotten this genius girl who swept the whole of Paris and fascinated countless men.

Only he never dared to forget

There was a deathly silence in the elevator, Eliza didn't make any movement, looking at the elevator control panel, and August looked at her, as if he was looking at a peerless treasure that he once had, but lost, and now reappeared in front of him, but he couldn't say anything, and he could only say, "Recently...... All right? ”

Eliza's mouth opened slightly, trying to say something, but closed it again.

Such a slight movement, in August's eyes, was so beautiful and moving, pulling the string in the deepest part of his heart, and it was still playing for a long time, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Find a place to sit......" August finally mustered up his courage, but at the end there was a little pleading, "...... All right? ”

This time Eliza turned her head directly to the side and looked at the man, her face was like frost, expressionless, "Aren't you afraid?" ”

The corners of August's mouth twitched, apparently not knowing what to say.

Yes, he has been very conflicted all these years, afraid to see her, but he wants to see her, these two contradictory feelings have always been tangled and tormented in his heart, and he feels very painful.

This time he finally saw Eliza again, and he found that so many years had passed, and many things had not been as he imagined, Eliza had not scolded him as he thought, and even fought him, she looked calm, as if she had no anger at all, was it because of the man named Ye Qiu?

He used to be afraid of being beaten and scolded, because he is now a well-known figure in Paris, if he is beaten and scolded, and the word goes out, he will become the laughing stock of the whole world, but now, he suddenly found that if he was not beaten or scolded, his heart was even more uncomfortable, as if he had lost something very, very important

There were some things that he could still feel that he had before he saw them again, and when he saw them, he found that he had lost them.

The two finally came to the hotel's café, each asked for a cup of coffee, and chose a place to sit down by the window.

"What is your relationship with Ye Qiu?" August finally couldn't hold back his silence and asked.

He had heard of Ye Qiu, the wedding of the century, which could be called luxurious, attracted the attention of the whole world, especially Ye Qiu's proposal in public after winning the Champions League final, which was also regarded by countless young people as the most romantic thing in the world, and countless women prayed that they could also meet a man like Ye Qiu.

Seeing Eliza and Ye Qiu so close yesterday, August always felt a little sour, he knew Eliza's arrogant personality very well, when Ye Qiu's lover, it was not something she could accept, but seeing that they were so close yesterday, what kind of relationship did they have?

"Is this important to you?" Eliza's tone was still very indifferent, and after she finished speaking, the corners of her mouth curled, "I haven't heard much about you, what's wrong?" Suddenly like women again? The words were full of ridicule.

If someone else said that, August must have slapped him, but Eliza said this, and he could only smile bitterly.

Eliza Moon, this is an eternal hurdle in his heart, which cannot be crossed, forgotten, erased, or waved away

"Are you afraid I'll ask that?" After Auguste smiled bitterly, he suddenly noticed something in Eliza's eyes, he knew Eliza very well, even after so many years, he still understood her, especially when she lied and wanted to hide something, there was always a very subtle flicker in her eyes.

Eliza stared at him coldly and did not speak.

But for August, not speaking is tantamount to acquiescence.

Suddenly, he kind of understood why she didn't hate herself anymore

Because, for her, she is no longer important at all, in her heart, there is someone more important than him

When a woman puts all her emotions into loving a man, it is impossible for her to have hatred for another man.

Hate is born from love, and the reason why hate is because there is still love, and without love, there is no hate.

This was definitely not the news that August wanted to hear, and his face was once again very pale, sickly white, bloodless.

"Don't meddle in my affairs, or worry more about your body," Eliza still sneered.

Anyone who has been in the circle knows that Auguste's sickly white is not just weak, but also drugs.

"Does he know the truth?" August took a deep breath and let himself regain a little bit of blood.

"It's none of your business," Eliza remained cold.

After Auguste heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Even if it...... Just as a friend, can't you care about it? ”

"Yes," Eliza replied without hesitation, "I have never liked it when people meddle in my affairs, and I always am. ”

August wasn't angry, because in the face of Eliza, he couldn't get angry, but just asked with a little sour wry smile that even he thought was stupid, "What the hell does he attract you?" Is it worth you so for him? ”

Eliza looked at Auguste with disdain in her eyes, "He has many, many flaws, but he is definitely better than you in one thing, and that is that he is braver than you"

"Brave?" August muttered the word over and over again, somewhat remorseful.

"When you encounter difficulties, you will complain and give up on yourself, but he is as confident and strong as ever, and strives to find a way to solve it; When questioned, you choose to bear it, but he dares to resist; With you, I feel like a nanny who takes care of children, and with him, I feel like he is like an umbrella for me, he dares to wave his fist at a man who is several circles older than him for me, do you dare? ”

The corners of August's mouth twitched a few times, and he didn't speak, because these were his shortcomings and his weaknesses.

In fact, when he was with Eliza, the latter was the backbone, and he looked more like a vassal.

When a woman is a strong woman in front of herself, but she is tame and a lamb in front of other men, as a man, should she reflect on herself, why is this happening?

"The best thing about him than you is that even if he has gone from a little-known kid back then to today's fame, he seems to have changed a lot, but in his bones, he is still Ye Qiu, he can still give up everything without hesitation for something like he did back then."

This is also Auguste's biggest heart disease, because he gave up his love for money, fame and status.

Over the years, he has made countless excuses for himself, such as that woman is very strong, so strong that he has to listen to her for everything, as if she is the only one who is right in the whole world, and everyone else is wrong.

Also, that woman is extremely conservative, and she has a fear of marriage, she has been dating for two years, and she doesn't let herself touch it except for holding hands, such a woman appears in Paris and appears in fashion circles, isn't this freak?

He could have found a whole bunch of reasons to blame Eliza, but he couldn't fool himself, so over the years, he had to resort to other ways and means to force himself to forget these memories that he didn't want to remember.

"It seems...... He's good to you," said August, frustrated, "but his wife ......"

"You don't need to care about this," Eliza interrupted him, not letting him continue, and asked.

After a pause, she took a deep breath, "August." It was the first time she had called that name in so many years.

"I used to hate you very much, but now I don't hate you, but I don't want to have anything to do with people like you anymore, so from now on, I hope we don't see each other again, and don't force me to hate you anymore"

When these words came out, Eliza did not have the coldness and hardness she had before, but she still had no feelings, because she had invested all her feelings in others

She didn't know exactly when it started, probably from that day when he swung his fist at Huizinger and knocked the Dutch hunk out in front of Eliza; Or maybe it was that dark night, when they were on the banks of Rilystad, that she closed her eyes, opened her arms, and put everything she had, including her life, into his hands, like the heroine of the Titanic, embracing IJssellake.

Or on the day he decided to leave Ajax, under the Arena Stadium, he told her that he would never hesitate to choose her between managing Barcelona, success and her.

Or......

She doesn't know the way, she really doesn't know the way.

I believe that if it weren't for August's sudden appearance in front of her, when she suddenly found that she couldn't hate it at all, she would not have discovered this secret that she had hidden deep in her heart.

Some love is obvious, vigorous, and makes the whole world pay attention to it; There are also some loves that are hidden deeply, so deep that they may not even know the way of the person themselves, and they are not aware of it, only after encountering some things, they suddenly discover its existence.

It turns out that inadvertently, you have replaced him forever

Eliza's head was full of thoughts about Ye Qiu, thinking about what had happened to her with Ye Qiu in the past, thinking that her head was a little confused, and she couldn't even lift the spirit to say goodbye to Auguste, so she thought about Ye Qiu.

Therefore, when Ye Qiu suddenly appeared in front of her, she was taken aback, her pink face was as red as a tomato, her heart was beating very fast, and the whole person was so panicked as if she had stripped off her clothes and stood in front of Ye Qiu, she didn't know what happened to Ye Qiu, she completely lost the calmness and calmness she had in front of Ye Qiu before.

"Are you sick?" Ye Qiu sat down in front of her and reached out to cover her forehead.

When her hand touched her pink forehead, Eliza's hands couldn't help but clench her fists nervously, her whole person completely lost her strength, just looking at Ye Qiu in front of her with a concerned face, she completely lost her mind.

"No fever" Ye Qiu muttered, and retracted his hand, "What nerves do you have if you don't have a fever?" ”

Eliza didn't even talk back in a rare way?

This made Ye Qiu strange, because if it was before, this girl would definitely fight back directly, and even hit Ye Qiu a few more times to retaliate and retaliate, but today it looks a little abnormal?

It must be because of the man who just left

Ye Qiu was sure in his heart, when he first walked into the café, he happened to see the man he met at the TV headquarters last night walking into the elevator, he has always had a good memory, especially for those men who are more handsome than himself, he will not be mistaken.

"Who is the man who came to you just now?" Ye Qiu asked.

Eliza absentmindedly picked up a cup of coffee, and when she heard it, she accidentally shook her hand and spilled it directly.
