Chapter 200: The Woman in Red
Tan Weiguo's gaze moved to the kitchen with her figure, and he sighed: "You are annoying, I, too, nag, boyfriend, this matter, you must be, be cautious." You, you one, girl, home, in Shanghai, days, for a long time, you are sure, you will be tired, you will want to go back, hometown, then, in, in Suzhou, find one, school, days, how stable, and, Jiaming, he is a, doctor, profession, also stable, no matter, what are you to people, what, what, attitude, for a while, don't pull your face, try to be in one place, listen, hear? ”
Even if she turned on the faucet to the maximum, she still couldn't hide these unpleasant words, she felt more and more that since her father had a stroke, her personality had become much more stubborn, but she couldn't provoke him now, her body had just recovered, and although she was reluctant, she could only follow him silently.
At this time, the doorbell rang, Xu Qiong, who had bought vegetables, came in from outside the house, stopped Tan Weiguo's nagging, walked into the kitchen, and saw Tan Man's sullen face, so he asked with concern, Tan Man didn't hide it, and looked at his father, who had gone away and went to the balcony, so he told her about the morning.
Xu Qiong said with a smile: "Your father, he was originally old-fashioned, but now that he is sick, his temper is even more stubborn, he is good for you and wants you to be happy, but the life of his parents, the words of the matchmaker, it may not be suitable to stay in modern times, so don't take it too seriously, I can see that you don't call the son of Niu Li's family because you already have someone in your heart." ”
Tan Man was a little embarrassed, and said coquettishly: "You make fun of me again, Aunt Xu." ”
Xu Qiong smiled even more: "I'm just breaking you, not making fun of you, my aunt is also young, I can understand, emotional things, I always have to experience it myself before I am willing." ”
Tan Man blinked, Xu Qiong's words just right expressed her heart at the moment.
That's right, before she got an answer, forcibly snuffed out the flame, which would always leave a thought and regret, that is, unwillingness.
"But I don't know what to do." She subconsciously expressed the confusion in her heart.
Xu Qiong said while sorting out the newly bought vegetables on the stove, "What should I do?" From the heart. ”
When Tan Man heard this, he looked at her in a daze.
Xu Qiong said again: "Listen to your heart, otherwise, you will never be reconciled." ”
Returning to the room from the kitchen, Tan Man sat in front of the dressing mirror, her brain was like paste, she looked up at herself in her glasses, under her slightly blue eyes, the scratched scar was still looming, she suddenly recalled the night she came back from Beijing, under the dim kitchen lamp, Gu Mochen motioned her to look up and check the scar's eyes, which were bottomless, but seemed to have unspeakable feelings.
The next second, she couldn't sit still anymore, so she stood up and strode out of the room.
During the Spring Festival, the tickets for the day had already been sold out, so she had to go to the bus station instead, until she got on the bus to Shanghai, she was a little sober.
Tan Man, what the hell are you doing?
deceived her father with the excuse that there was an urgent matter at school, regardless of his slight anger and dissatisfaction, wishful thinking went to Gu Mochen, she suddenly wondered if she was too impulsive, not to mention whether Gu Mochen came back from a business trip, even if she saw it in the law firm, what should she say.
Two hours passed in a flash, and as the bus drove off the highway, my heart became more and more uneasy.
Go back?
Unwillingly, it's already so close, don't you take a look, I really want to see each other.
Go?
Bravely ran to confess, inexplicable and abrupt, too unreserved.
The car arrives at the station,
In the end, she still walked into the subway station and headed in the direction of Gu Mochen's law firm.
Approaching the Spring Festival, the already crowded public transportation has become crowded in leisure time, Tan Man squeezed into the subway, and finally got into a corner where he was standing a little more comfortable, pulling the lever with one hand, and taking out his mobile phone from his pocket.
stared at the screen for a while, hesitating to call him first, the screen was pressed on, and then black, and then pressed on, and finally gave up, she still couldn't muster up the courage to pick something out, so she should pass by, take a look and go back.
Gu Mochen's law firm is located in the bustling Gujiazui, and it is a tunnel after the subway.
As soon as Tan Man walked out of the ground, she was shivered by a cold wind, she was in a hurry when she went out, put on a down, forgot to wrap a scarf, and the back of her neck was empty, she subconsciously shrunk her neck, the cold weather and the already nervous mood, the whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly, just like the college entrance examination results were released, and when the scores were checked, she was nervous.
The distance of a few hundred meters was quickly reached, the elevator "ding", the door opened to both sides, and the neat and bright front desk came into view, a young beauty at the front desk, about the same age as her, saw someone coming, immediately got up, and nodded politely to her.
"Hello, Miss, how can I help you?"
Tan Man pursed her lips: "Uh, excuse me, Gu Mochen, is Lawyer Gu here?" ”
"Are you looking for a lawyer? Is there a reservation? ”
Tan Man shook his head, and then remembered that there was such a thing as an appointment: "I am him...... Friend, passing by here, I want to see if he's not there. ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, Lawyer Gu went out in the morning, why don't you leave a contact information, and I'll tell him when he comes back?" The little beauty replied very officially.
Before Tan Man could reply, he was interrupted by a tall female clerk who came out of the back office, who probably wanted to come to the front desk to send a courier, but when he saw her, he widened his eyes and said with some surprise: "You are ...... Lawyer Gu's friend, Xiaobei's psychological counselor, right? ”
Tan Man was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Hello, I'm Helen, Lawyer Gu's assistant, we had dinner together, remember?" Helen laughed.
It turned out that this was Helen, and when she said this, I was really impressed.
"Hello, my name is Tan Man." She smiled in response.
"Did Miss Tan come to Lawyer Gu? He went out in the morning to see the client. Helen looked at her watch, "But, I think I'm almost back, why don't you come in and wait a while?" ”
Tan Man rubbed the tip of his nose and asked, "Is it convenient?" ”
Helen glanced at the little beauty at the front desk on the side, her eyes fell back on her, and she enthusiastically pulled her inside, and came to the lounge bar of the office: "I think Lawyer Gu will be happy to see you, after all, I have been his assistant for so many years, and you are the first friend of the opposite sex I have ever seen, and he introduced you to everyone." ”
When Tan Man heard this, he immediately explained: "I am ordinary friends with him. ”
Helen smiled without saying a word, turned around and brought her a cup of hot tea.
"Miss Tan, you sit here for a while, drink some tea, Lawyer Gu should be back soon, I still have something to do, I'll go and get busy first."
"Okay, I'm sorry for you."
Seeing Helen walking away, Tan Man took a long breath and looked around, the decoration of the law firm is fashionable and simple, the leisure area is an open space, connecting the corridor to the office area, the area is large, clean and tidy, and there are rows of floor-to-ceiling windows in the back, which illuminates the whole space very brightly.
Tan Man took a sip of hot tea and warmed his hands with a cup, when a sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and the sound of high heels disappeared after entering the soft carpet, followed by a tall and sexy woman walking in, wearing a red knee-length trench coat and a tight dress, highlighting her figure just right.
There was also a man in a suit and leather shoes who came in with this woman, Tan Man recognized it at a glance as Xiao Zhi who was having dinner with him that day, and the other party didn't know if he didn't notice her in the corner, or he didn't recognize her, and devoted himself to the conversation with the woman in red.
They sat down at the round table opposite her, and the little lady at the front desk expertly handed over two cups of hot tea.
Tan Man took a deep breath, lowered his head and continued to play with his phone.
"Ye Chen, I plan to stay for a long time when I return to China this time, but I heard that you came back specifically to find Gu Mochen's kid."
Today's Tan Man is extremely sensitive to those three words, although she knows that eavesdropping on other people's chats is immoral, but when it comes to Gu Mochen, she was subconsciously attracted to it, and pressed the hearing aid in her ear with her hand, trying to hear more clearly.
"That's right, I have encountered some problems with copyright and want to consult him, but Lawyer Gu seems to be very busy now, and I have made several appointments, but I haven't seen him, no, I can only block him in person."
"If you open your mouth, he can still agree, I think that when you were in the master of ceremonies, the relationship between the two of you was deep enough."
The woman in red smiled: "I'm afraid he won't be in love with the old love." ”
"I'm also a lawyer, why don't you consider me?!"
"You big boss, who doesn't know you, now you're focused on business."
"Okay, okay, whatever you say, anyway, you only have Gu Mochen in your heart, and I haven't been on your bench since college."
"Xiao Zhi, don't joke with me."
"Seriously, if you hadn't gone abroad for an exchange in your junior year and never returned, maybe now, you and Gu Mochen's children would have been playing soy sauce."
……
The hands holding the cup were so tight that the joints turned white, and Tan Man suddenly felt that this trip was wrong.
Also, how can a man as good as Gu Mochen not have a past, the reason why he has been single all the time may be because he has always lived in his heart, in the TV series, isn't it all like this.
Tan Man took a deep breath, put down the cup, slowly got up and left quietly.
"Miss Tan, are you leaving, Lawyer Gu hasn't come back yet." The little beauty at the front desk saw her walking towards the elevator and shouted.
Tan Man smiled: "Suddenly there is something, so I will leave first." ”
"Oh, then you go slowly!"
The little beauty has always been very polite, Tan Man nodded, and entered the elevator.
In this confined space, the mirrors around her made her embarrassment at the moment nowhere to hide, Tan Man looked at herself in the mirror, and felt stupid and ridiculous, like an ugly duckling, and the woman who was generous and intellectual, with exquisite makeup just now, was more suitable to stand with the mature and steady Gu Mochen.
It seems that I already have the answer in my heart, and I am glad that everything can still end peacefully before it is pierced, but why is it like a thorn stuck in my throat.
Walking out of the revolving door in the lobby, the cold air came to my face, and the whole person was awake, watching the people in front of me come and go, in fact, this is an ordinary winter morning.
Tan Man sniffed and walked into a convenience store next to her, she needed to take a break now.
