Chapter 168: Returning to China
"Don't do anything." Gu Xia made an innocent look, "I just don't want you to feel better." ”
To be honest, the last time Tong Lu heard this kind of remarks was probably when he was in junior high and high school.
Pouting and sneering, Tong Lu really didn't want to compete with a person who was only a teenager in his mind, so he picked up his mobile phone from the table and walked into the room without looking back.
And the mobile phone was like a locator installed on Tong Lu's body, and as soon as she closed the door, the ringtone rang.
grabbed it and took a look, Tong Lu turned on the speakerphone, lay on the bed and said lazily, "Hey, is there something wrong?" ”
"Have you had time lately?" Xiao Hong, who was on the other side, was not polite at all, and said his problem bluntly.
"There's no time." Tong Lu opened her eyes and said nonsense.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Xiao Hong over there scolded with a smile, "You haven't been working for several weeks, what are you doing at home, come out and do me a favor." ”
"What's the busy?" Tong Lu's heart came with a little interest.
The Gu family was too depressed, so she couldn't help but want to go out to breathe.
"Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, go to the airport to pick up someone. I've been so busy lately that I really don't have time. Xiao Hong coughed lightly, with a slight strangeness in his tone.
But Tong Lu didn't take it to heart, she wrote this on the memo road, and asked casually, "Who are you going to pick up?" ”
"You know. You'll know when you see it. ”
After saying this, Xiao Hong hung up the phone straightforwardly.
Tong Lu listened to the busy sound on the other side, frowned, and resumed the day's work.
Although she doesn't have to go out to film, she still has to read the script.
The old man was not at home all day today, except for Gu Xia who occasionally came over to make trouble, Tong Lu was also relaxed.
In the evening, Gu Chuan couldn't come back because of a business trip, and Tong Lu picked up the girder by himself, and after sorting out everything properly, it was already close to twelve o'clock.
Tong Lu didn't continue to boil, after all, she promised Xiao Hong to go to the airport the next day.
There is a different kind of silence halfway up the mountain after nightfall, every time the rain is clear, Tong Lu can even hear the frog cooing, but at this time, the tired Tong Lu does not have the time to appreciate these.
The rules in this wealthy compound have already made her feel physically and mentally exhausted.
As soon as the sky was bright, Tong Lu was quarreled by a series of music again, and Gu Xia took advantage of Old Man Gu's morning practice to turn the family upside down.
But this time, Tong Lu obviously didn't bother with her, and got up directly.
"You can really hold on." Tong Lu moved her stiff neck, and a chuckle kissed the corner of her mouth, Gu Xia was like a child in front of her, and she would engage in these mischievous things all day long.
Gu Xia turned off the stereo in his hand, choked up by Tong Lu's calm performance, and the imposing words that he was about to say were immediately blocked in his throat, and he hesitated for a long time, but he didn't say it.
Tong Lu's patience was limited, and he couldn't wait for the child in front of him to organize the language, so Shi Shiran went downstairs.
When her aunt was there, Tong Lu was much more relaxed, and the most work every day was to pretend to be a noble lady and greet visitors from all walks of life at home.
However, this is already a torture for Tong Lu, who has always been unrestrained.
"Madam, Mrs. Wang wants to ask you to have lunch at noon today, do you think you agree?" Tong Lu had just come downstairs, and her buttocks hadn't been hot yet, so the housekeeper came over with a small notebook.
Slowly poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip, Tong Lu raised her eyebrows and thought for a moment, "Push it, I have other things to do today." ”
"But......" The housekeeper seemed to be a little embarrassed, and his shining eyes stopped on Tong Lu's body for a long time.
"But what?"
The housekeeper seemed to be waiting for her words, and before the words fell, he began to chatter, "Recently, there have been business contacts between Mr. Wang and Mr. Gu, and it is the most critical time, so Mrs. Wang will come to invite, if she pushes it without authorization, I am afraid that Mrs. Wang will not look good-looking, and it will be difficult to do business." ”
Although the housekeeper bent down respectfully and spoke softly, for fear of disturbing Tong Lu, the meaning of the words was forcing her to make the most appropriate decision.
This kind of silent threat is the most deadly, but Tong Lu can't find any reason to refute it.
Since moving into the Gu family, she knows that she probably can't be the same person she used to be, and now she represents not only Tong Lu, but also the Gu family, and her words and deeds will be infinitely amplified.
The hand holding the cup tightened, Tong Lu raised her eyebrows, and suddenly smiled contemptuously.
At a certain moment, she wanted to ignore everything, smashing the cup on the ground and then walking away, but such thoughts, in the moment that flashed, were sadly denied.
Taking a deep breath, the corners of Tong Lu's mouth showed the most perfect arc again, "Tell Mrs. Wang, I really can't pull away at noon, let's make an appointment in the evening." ”
"Ma'am, ...... like this"
Tong Lu's answer still made the housekeeper very dissatisfied, he frowned tightly, and wanted to persuade a few words, but as soon as the words came out, he was suddenly interrupted.
"Needless to say, I've already made a decision." The cold eyes suddenly sharpened, and the originally elegant expression also added a bit of coldness.
In any case, the housekeeper has always been a servant in this family, and no matter how old he is and how powerful he is, he cannot influence the employer's decision.
Maybe people who have lived here for a long time will still take care of his face, but Tong Lu doesn't need it, she has never been taken care of by the housekeeper before, and she doesn't need his care in the future.
"Yes, ma'am." The housekeeper's face sank, and the dislike for Tong Lu in his eyes was a little more.
But Tong Lu didn't see all this, and she never took it to heart.
After combing the broken hair hanging down from her ears, Tong Lu gracefully put the cup back on the table, "Then go and prepare, I'll go out in a while." ”
After speaking, he turned and walked away.
It's just that living in such a big family with a complex relationship, peace and tranquility have become an unavoidable thing, and before she can step on the stairs, the person who finds fault will follow her.
Gu Xia leaned on the stairs with his arms folded, staring at Tong Lu with disdain in his eyes, "Yo, I see that you adapt quite quickly, and you have the momentum of being a housewife so quickly?" ”
I don't know if Gu Xia has seen it, and she has such a vicious female partner when she speaks.
Shrugging his shoulders, Tong Lu also raised his head and met those eyes, "Shouldn't it, should I let you go to the banquet?" Don't see if you have that qualification. ”
Although Gu Xia is the second lady of the Gu family, she is just a name, and in fact she has no real power at all, so it is naturally impossible for those rich wives to invite her.
"Humph!" Gu Xia's childlike nature has never cared about these things, but now that he was suddenly mentioned by Tong Lu, he lost face, "Don't think that the Gu family can admit you like this, you dream!" ”
"I don't dream I know it myself, now Miss Gu Er," Tong Lu took two steps forward, close to Gu Xia's ear, "Please get out of the way, I'm going upstairs." ”
Tong Lu's sudden approach frightened Gu Xia a lot, and she hurriedly took two steps back, and before she could react, she watched her rub her shoulder.
Back in the room, Tong Lu really relaxed, lying on her back on the soft bed, emptying herself.
The window is not closed, and the gentle breeze squeezes in through the gap, and there is a slight earthy sweetness, and you can take a deep breath, as if you can feel the refreshing fresh smell.
Tong Lu can't remember how long she hasn't relaxed herself like this, obviously it's been less than a month since she moved here, but she seems to have endured the whole thing, her heart and brain are occupied by all kinds of communication and rules, and she has almost no time for herself.
pulled the white fluffy pillow over her head, but she still couldn't stop the constant buzzing sound in her head, like a nightmare, day and night, reminding her what to do and what not to do.
After closing my eyes and resting for only a few minutes, my mobile phone rang suddenly.
Sharp songs echoed over the empty room, and Tong Lu waited for a moment until the bell rang for the last few times, and then picked it up.
"Hello?"
Such a weak voice startled the person on the other side.
I was stunned for a long time before I found my voice, "What's wrong with you?" Did Gu Chuan abuse you? ”
Xiao Hong asked half-jokingly, half-seriously.
"He really abused me, and he abused me mentally once." Tong Lu squinted, threw the pillow on the ground indignantly, and stepped on his feet in anger.
However, for Tong Lu's words, Xiao Hongquan thought that she was showing affection, and sighed twice, "Don't tell me about your husband and wife, I'm just here to remind you, don't forget to pick up the airport this morning." ”
Glancing up at the clock, it was almost past seven o'clock, Tong Lu struggled to get up from the bed, "Don't worry, I can't forget it." ”
As he spoke, he walked into the bathroom.
casually pulled up the long hair behind him, and a few disobedient hair ends were scattered on the white neck, adding a bit of laziness and casualness.
After taking care of it briefly, Tong Lu went out with great interest.
She has been depressed in the Gu family's old house for too long, and now it is just a trip to the airport, which also gives her a comfortable sense of travel.
When Tong Lu felt the airport, it was just eight o'clock, and the radio was announcing the landing flight.
casually took out a black mask from her bag and put it on, and Tong Lu got out of the car.
Standing at the agreed place, bored playing with her mobile phone, she didn't know who Xiao Hong asked her to pick up, she just asked her to come and wait, so she didn't ask much.
It didn't take long for Tong Lu to find that there was an extra person beside her, wearing a wide khaki trench coat, carrying a bag behind her, and a fisherman's hat on her head covering her eyes.
