Chapter 21: Ambition
Lu Meilan held up her mobile phone, her face was ruthless, and she had long lost her gentle and virtuous appearance in the past.
"You can't do this little thing, it's really useless! I have to get that proposal within this week! If I can't do it, I'll have to find someone else! Lu Meilan stood in front of the dresser and looked directly at herself in the mirror.
The years still left traces on her face, looking at the crow's feet gradually overflowing from the corners of her eyes, she realized more deeply that she had never crossed the hurdle in her heart over the years, her life should not end like this, she had to create a perfect ending for Lu Yiyang for herself.
Hanging up the phone, Lu Meilan unhurriedly removed her makeup, her heart was already filled with anger and ambition, the more she looked at herself in the mirror, the more ridiculous she felt, her white fingers gradually clenched into fists, and she almost shouted "Gu Tian!" This is what you owe me! ”
Lu Meilan in the flower season was like an ignorant girl, with a yearning and thirst for loyal love, and her life was dedicated to the interests of the family after all.
Originally, she wanted to live with a man she didn't love, maybe after a long time, she would have feelings, but what she didn't expect was that love was selfish and belonged to one person, rather than passively sharing the same feelings with another person.
What's more, this kind of love has never been fair from the beginning, and from the very beginning, she has lost to the woman who occupies all the positions in Gu Tian's heart.
And what about her? Does she deserve to sacrifice her life's happiness?
Now she is just as longing for love.
Lu Meilan sorted out her emotions, thinking in her head about how to get the plan and she could get out of it with her whole body.
For a long time, a terrible thought flashed through her head, although there were a few seconds of thought struggle, but it would be the best way to deal with it, and the corners of her mouth soon raised a strange smile.
At this moment, she couldn't wait to meet the person she didn't want to see every day.
When Gu Yanyi returned home, it was almost ten o'clock, and the brightly lit living room was quiet as usual.
"Young Master, are you back? Have you eaten? Do you need me to make you something to eat? Sister-in-law Lin heard the sound and walked out of the side hall.
Gu Yanyi said while changing his slippers, "Okay, then please help me make a fried sauce noodles!" ”
Sister-in-law Lin respectfully agreed, "Haole! You take a break and you'll be right away. ”
Gu Yanyi nodded and continued to walk towards the living room, he looked upstairs and asked Sister-in-law Lin in the kitchen, "Sister-in-law Lin!" Has my dad come back late these days? ”
Sister-in-law Lin leaned out of the kitchen and replied, "Yes, young master, the old man has come back basically around twelve o'clock these days, and he looks very tired when he comes back every day, and his face is not very good, and I also stewed supplements for him!" Would you like to come some, young master? ”
Gu Yanyi waved his hand and said, "No need! Just help me get a bowl of jajanjangmyeon! ”
Sister-in-law Lin agreed, turned around and went into the kitchen to start working.
Gu Yanyi has long been accustomed to his father's busy travel for many years, but when he heard that Gu Tian was tired every day, Gu Yanyi still felt a little sorry for his father.
He walked to the sofa in the living room, leaning on the soft sofa, he took out his mobile phone and was about to call Gu Tian, Lu Meilan walked down the spiral staircase.
Gu Yanyi got up and said hello.
"Hasn't Aunt Lu rested yet?"
"Well, not yet, I've been very worried lately, so it's not good to rest." Lu Meilan rubbed her temples with a headache as she walked.
Gu Yanyi was very surprised, Lu Meilan's attitude towards him today was very abnormal, in other words, even if he couldn't see anyone for a few days on weekdays, he wouldn't ask more, but today it was as if he was waiting for him, I don't know which one Lu Meilan wants to sing today?
"Then let Sister-in-law Lin stew some soothing supplements for Aunt Lu tomorrow, so that the symptoms can also be relieved a little." Gu Yanyi replied obediently.
The corners of Lu Meilan's mouth raised a polite smile, she walked to the sofa opposite Gu Yanyi and sat down, and then said, "I'm here!" It's a heart disease, and your father has been coming back late late, so you must have noticed it, right? ”
Gu Yanyi nodded and said, "Yes, maybe he's been busy lately." ”
At this time, he was in his heart, could it be that the company really encountered something?
The smile on Lu Meilan's face stopped abruptly and turned serious, "In the past few days, all the focus of Gu's Group has been focused on a real estate development project, which is undoubtedly a piece of fat for the leading enterprises in the entire A city, and recently it has been in the bidding process, Gu's Group and several companies with considerable competitiveness are doing development business plans, they have set up a development team, only the face recognition of the core person can enter the studio, and I, as a wife, want to help my husband, But your father refused my help, so I thought of a solution. ”
Gu Yanyi suddenly realized that Lu Meilan was asking for help, and he asked, "I am a high school graduate, and I am not interested in the company's affairs." ”
His words made Lu Meilan a little angry, but she still had a kind smile on her face, because if she wanted to get Gu Yanyi's permission, she had to let him help willingly, so she continued, "The intelligent face recognition system you made was bought for me by Bai Ming, the general manager of Yun'an Company, in fact, I just need it to participate in this business plan, with the background of the Lu Group, I can give your father a great degree of help." ”
Gu Yanyi didn't agree immediately, although there was a moment of surprise on his face, but it was enough to see from his eyes that he didn't trust Lu Meilan, it turned out that he underestimated the existence of this woman too much, maybe she wanted more than just being a woman behind Gu Tian. But after all, they are husband and wife, and Lu Meilan will not harm her husband.
After a struggle of thoughts, he replied, "I'll try my best to help Aunt Lu!" ”
At this time, Sister-in-law Lin brought out a bowl of fried noodles with full color and flavor from the kitchen and walked towards the living room, she said, "Young Master, your fried noodles." Eat it hot! ”
Gu Yanyi looked at the face on the table, looked at Sister-in-law Lin, and said, "Thank you, Sister-in-law Lin!" ”
"You're welcome!" Sister-in-law Lin said.
"Eat it! I hope to help me get it soon! Lu Meilan got up and looked at Gu Yanyi, passing by him and leaving.
The steaming noodles on the table, the fragrance came to the nostrils, teasing the taste buds, Gu Yanyi picked up the chopsticks and began to eat noodles, obviously nothing is more important than filling in the stomach.
After eating and drinking, Gu Yanyi returned to the bedroom and began to modify the permissions, and finally after everything was taken care of, he picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Bai Ming.
"Permissions have been modified."
The message quickly replied, "Okay. ”
At this time, the sound of footsteps on the stairs came, and Gu Yanyi knew that his father must have returned, he walked to the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he happened to see Gu Tian walking towards the study.
"Dad! I'll deal with it tomorrow! It's getting late, so let's get some rest early!. He stood at the door and called Gu Tian.
Gu Tian turned around and squeezed out a tired smile and said, "Son! I haven't slept yet! I'll go to bed when I'm done, soon. Rest quickly! Gu Tian waved his hand at Gu Yanyi, signaling him to go into the room and sleep.
Looking at such a father, he was silent for a moment, he wanted to share some responsibilities for his father, but he couldn't do it. A wave of powerless frustration hits.
Gu Yanyi wanted to speak and stopped, he lowered his head and sighed and closed the door.
Behind each glamorous identity, there will be more to pay, he can understand his father's punctual agreement with him every time, as an illegitimate child, he can live like this is actually a good result, he doesn't dare to ask too much.
In the study, Gu Tian opened the business plan that everyone agreed on at noon on the computer and began to examine it, and after making sure that it was correct, it was stored in a white USB flash drive.
He raised his hand and looked at the expensive watch in his hand, it was almost one o'clock in the morning, and fatigue began to sweep through the cells of his body, he rubbed his temples, got up and walked out of the study.
Arriving at the bedroom door, he gently pushed it open. Seeing the sleeping figure on the bed, his hand hesitated for a few seconds, and finally closed the door gently.
He didn't want to wake up Lu Meilan in his sleep, so he came to the guest room, washed up as usual, took the blood pressure control medicine that he had to take every day, and soon fell asleep when his body touched the soft bed.
Early the next morning.
The sun has risen high, Gu Yanyi is running on the seaside highway in sportswear, the fresh air poured into the nasal cavity, and the short hair on his forehead has been soaked with sweat, and the fine beads of sweat have been flowing down the hair until the collar of the shirt is wet.
After running a lap, Gu Yanyi returned home, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his father in the living room.
Gu Tian was eating breakfast while reading the morning newspaper, when he heard the sound at the door, he put down the newspaper in his hand and watched Gu Yanyi come from the entrance.
He beckoned to Gu Yanyi and said, "Son, you're back from running!" Come and have breakfast! ”
Gu Yanyi walked straight to the stairs and said, "I'll take a shower first, you can eat first!" ”
Gu Tian replied with a kind smile, "Hurry up!" I haven't eaten with you in days! ”
Gu Yanyi nodded, quickened his pace, and walked quickly up the stairs.
When he passed by the door of Lu Yiyang's bedroom, he stopped, knocked on the door a few times, and shouted into the room, "Don't sleep!" I'm going to go out later, are you going to go? ”
In the room, Lu Yiyang turned over irritably, covered his head with a pillow, and continued to sleep, obviously the sound outside had no effect on him.
Gu Yanyi, who was outside the door, shook his head helplessly, put the towel in his hand on his shoulder and walked to his room.
When he came to the bathroom, he turned on the shower, took off his sweat-soaked clothes, and the warm water poured down, and after a while, the glass was filled with mist, and the sound of rushing water was non-stop.
After a long time, Gu Yanyi walked out of the bathroom, he was wrapped in a white bath towel, his short black hair and water droplets kept rolling down, and the perfect eight-pack abs in his abdomen showed the beauty of a man's unique strength.
He came to the cloakroom and changed into casual clothes, a white striped shirt with blue jeans, full of youthful youthful atmosphere. He straightened his clothes in the mirror and left the bedroom.
In the restaurant downstairs, Gu Tian continued to read the newspaper, and when he saw Gu Yanyi coming down, he instructed Sister-in-law Lin to prepare a breakfast, and soon Sister-in-law Lin served breakfast to the table.
Gu Yanyi pulled out a chair and sat down, he thought of what Lu Meilan said last night, so he said lightly, "Dad!" How is the company lately? ”
Hahaha
Gu Tian laughed heartily, and asked Gu Yanyi with an expectant face, "What?" Want to come to the company to help me? ”
Gu Yanyi's tone was so light that he said, "No, just ask." ”
Gu Tian's excited little flame was instantly extinguished by Gu Yanyi.
Ahem
He coughed lightly twice and continued, "I think you should think about it again, it is an eternal truth that the son inherits the father's business, and now I don't force you, it's not too late to help me when you graduate from college, but I don't know how many years this old bone can last?!" "That's it.
Although Gu Tian had a smile on his face, he was a little more melancholy.
Gu Yanyi stopped the movement of his hand, and he looked at his father.
The silver-white hair on the temples is particularly conspicuous, and the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes continue to climb mercilessly on the face, which is the traces of time, the passing of youth, and the best proof of hard work.
Gu Yanyi did not oppose again unceremoniously as usual, but looked at his father quietly, he couldn't bear it, because one day his father needed them to stand behind him, stand in his position, and continue to guard everything that the family should have guarded for him, which was a right and a responsibility, and it was also involuntarily.
For a long time, the eyes of father and son intertwined with each other.
"It's all here! Sister-in-law Lin helped me prepare a breakfast. ”
Lu Meilan's words interrupted the silent father and son, Lu Meilan had heard this kind of conversation more than once, Gu Tian had paid more attention to Gu Yanyi since she was a child, even though she was dissatisfied in her heart at this time, she still had the smile of a good mother on her face.
She pulled her hair up casually and walked towards the dining table, she smiled and pulled out the seat and sat next to Gu Tian.
"Aunt Lu is early!" Gu Yanyi said hello.
"Meilan, I came back late last night, and I was afraid of disturbing you when I saw that you were sleeping, so I slept in the guest room." Gu Tian explained to Lu Meilan.
"It's okay, although work is important, but still pay attention to your body, don't forget the physical examination I told you a few days ago, remember to discharge the itinerary tomorrow." Lu Meilan picked up a fork and forked a piece of salad into her mouth, chewing it slowly.
"Okay, I'll go back to the company and let the secretary arrange it, I'm going to the company." Gu Tian looked at the watch in his hand, pushed the chair, got up and walked out of the restaurant.
The butler followed with Gu Tian's briefcase.
The black Mercedes-Benz car at the door has been waiting at the door for a long time, the driver got out of the car and opened the back door for him, Gu Tian sat in the back seat, the driver turned on the door, and the housekeeper stood at the door to send him off.
In the restaurant, after Gu Yanyi drank a glass of milk, he wiped his mouth with a tissue and got up and said, "Aunt Lu, use it slowly." ”
Lu Meilan nodded and continued to eat the breakfast on the plate.
Gu Yanyi got up and walked in the direction of the stairs.
Just after Gu Yanyi left, Lu Meilan shouted to Sister-in-law Lin in the kitchen, "Sister-in-law Lin, Yangyang, haven't you gotten up yet?" ”
Sister-in-law Lin walked out, wiped the water on her hands, and said, "Yes! ”
Lu Meilan put down the tableware in her hand angrily, and complained in her mouth: "Can't you fight for me!" "Because I'm in a bad mood, I don't have the appetite to eat.
She got up and walked upstairs to Lu Yiyang's bedroom, and when she knocked on the door a few times and didn't respond, she angrily pushed the door open, and saw her son sleeping on the bed, she walked to the window and pulled back the curtains that blocked the sun.
The harsh sunlight shone in.
The brightness of the moment finally made Lu Yiyang, who was bedridden, slowly open his eyes.
He complained in displeasure, "Mom! What are you doing? ”
Lu Meilan stood by the bed with her hands on her chest, and she had a big look: if you don't get up, I won't leave.
After a few minutes of stalemate, Lu Yiyang finally rubbed his messy short hair and sat up staggeringly.
"Give you ten minutes, get up right away, the tutor I hired for you will be here soon."
Lu Yiyang wanted to cry without tears, and when he heard that he had to tutor on the weekend, he was so frightened that he shivered, and his head sobered up.
"Can I skip tuition?" It was obvious that the protest was ineffective, and Lu Meilan shook her head undoubtedly.
"You've wasted a minute."
"Ah!!h Lu Yiyang's wail spread throughout the room.
Lu Meilan walked out of the room and raised the corners of her mouth triumphantly.
