London sent off the guests from afar, and regained its previous quietness, listening to the melodious sound of the bell from Big Ben, Lin Xia felt that his heart slowly calmed down.

Since Alice came back from the hospital, her health did not seem to be as good as before, and the doctor would come to check her every other day.

And there are often all kinds of people coming to visit the family.

Alice would meet these guests in the study upstairs, as for what to say, Lin Xia didn't know, she wouldn't deliberately ask, and her own homework was getting busier and busier.

Every day, in addition to the necessary courses, I also have to go to the library to borrow a lot of professional books to read at home.

When cooking, he holds a spoon in his right hand and a book in his left hand.

Alice sometimes teased her when she saw it, "I didn't burn the food!" ”

More often, after coming back for dinner in the afternoon, Lin Xia would take his textbooks to the living room, sit on the carpet, lean on the sofa to read and study, and Alice would sit next to him and watch TV.

"Honey, you're the hardest working student I've ever met!" Alice said, "It's been more than an hour, and you can rest for a while." ”

Lin Xia put down the book in his hand, rubbed his face with his hands, and raised a big smile at Alice, "Rest!" ”

Alice handed a glass of juice to Lin Xia, "You should go out and play more, the day after tomorrow is Halloween, isn't there an event in your school?" ”

"School activities!" Lin Xia thought for a while, "It's a lot, but I still like to stay at home with you, anyway, I hope there will be a lot of pumpkins in the dishes delivered tomorrow, if not, I'll buy some back!" ”

"Don't worry, there will definitely be, what more do you want?" Alice said mysteriously.

"No, we'll be able to make a lot of jack-o'-lanterns then!" Lin Xia stretched, then stretched out his hand with a smile and counted, "There is Thanksgiving next month, and Christmas next month, oops, there are so many festivals!" ”

Alice smiled at Lin Xia's happy smile, "I can ask John to take you to the Christmas market!" ”

"Stop!" Lin Xia made a pause gesture, "I don't want it!" ”

"Summer, I know you're still thinking about that great man, but you can get to know John better, he's not bad!" Alice said.

Lin Xia's eyes drooped, "I still have exams, and next year I have to find an internship place while writing my thesis, Alice!" Lin Xia looked up at Alice, "I really don't have time to think about it, John is a very good person, but I am not suitable for him, he will meet better girls!" ”

Alice held Lin Xia in her arms with some distress, "Okay, I won't talk about it in the future!" Don't worry, I just want you to be happy! ”

"Hmm!" Lin Xia lay on Alice's lap, closed her eyes, and felt like her grandmother was by her side again, so good!

"London is the busiest time between now and Christmas, you can hang out with your classmates and not always stay with me, dear, you should have your own life!"

"I feel good now!" Lin Xia closed her eyes and chatted with Alice without a word.

Alice has never been married and has no children in her life, but now, Lin Xia has given her an unprecedented feeling of family happiness and warmth, which is very peculiar.

This feeling can be unconsciously immersive, and Alice sometimes reminisces about some of the things she did when she was a child.

She lived as a child in the slums of London.

Her father was a sailor, and she was an alcoholic except for quarrels with her mother, and her mother was a weak woman, and Alice had not felt any warmth from her family for as long as she could remember.

She lives in fear every day, afraid that one day her father will get drunk and beat her mother to death, and she always tries to reduce her presence to the point that everyone can ignore her.

Until one day, the mother ran out of the house screaming, with a knife in her hand, covered in blood, standing in the street and shouting, "I killed him!" I finally killed him! Let him go to hell! Go to hell! ”

That was Alice's last impression of her mother, and she was taken to a church orphanage by a government charity, where she saw a different sky, completed her studies from primary school to high school, and then enrolled in the London Business School.

Every time she thinks of this, Alice looks at Lin Xia as if she is looking at herself.

But Lin Xia is luckier than her, because Lin Xia has a lover who loves her deeply, and there is that Lin Xia has an optimistic attitude that is completely different from herself.

In the past, Alice was closed at heart, she rejected all those with whom she had intimate relationships, hated marriage, hated family, and even for a long time, she hated anyone who cared about her.

It wasn't until Lin Xia appeared that Alice felt that the feeling of being cared for and taken care of would be so unstoppable.

The old Will family, Alice has known each other since she was a child, the old Will family is her former neighbors, and the old Will mother's mother often takes advantage of her father's sleep to secretly send Alice some food, which is also the only warm scene left by Alice in her childhood.

Old Will has been to Alice like a sister since he was a child, and when he is bullied by other children on the street, he will stand up for her and fight hard.

Later, Alice was sent to an orphanage because of her parents, and the old Will family often visited her.

Although Alice behaved very indifferently when they met, she has always trusted the old Will family the most in her heart.

Alice had her own career, Old Will took the lawyer's certificate, and no accident, Old Will became Alice's lawyer, and she also became John's godmother.

Old Will asked her to hire a maid, and Ellie refused without hesitation, but she didn't go to the nursing home, it was too unreassuring to be alone at home, until Susan appeared, the only person Alice didn't exclude.

Later, after Susan's brother died and left for a while, Old Will thought of renting out, and then letting the renter take care of Alice, and reducing the rent according to the content of the job, in fact, hiring a nanny for Alice in disguise, until Susan returned.

Before Lin Xia, Alice saw many things in the eyes of those young visitors, hating, disliking, coping, and so on.

But in Lin Xia's eyes, there was only sincerity and kindness, and there was even light flickering, Alice didn't know what it was, but now she knew.

Looking down at Lin Xia who was resting on her lap, Alice thought, that is a kind of family affection and happiness!

"By the way," Alice said suddenly, "Summer, I smell a very nice smell on you and in your room, a sweet, very happy smell, is that what kind of perfume it is?" ”

Lin Xia opened his eyes, raised his head and looked at Alice with a smile, "Does that smell really make you feel happy?" ”

Alice nodded and closed her eyes, "You also have this smell on you, it's likable and intoxicating!" ”

"You wait!" Lin Xia stood

I got up and quickly went back to the room and got two dried flower bags, "Isn't this the smell?" ”

Alice took it curiously, put it under her nose and sniffed, "Yes, that's it, dear, what is this?" ”

Lin Xia glanced at the time, "You take the medicine first, and I'll tell you!" ”

Alice happily took the pill and the water cup, and after eating, asked, "Okay, tell me quickly!" ”

"This is, I want to think about how to say it in English, yes, it's a dried flower bag!" Lin Xia opened one and showed Alice the petals inside.

"Oh my God! What flowers are so fragrant! Alice exclaimed.

"These are the petals of gardenias, they bloom every spring, and when they bloom, they have a strong fragrance and you can smell them from afar, and I like them very much, so I thought about how to keep their fragrance, and then I learned it

How to do this! Lin Xia said to Alice while tying the rope of the flower bag.

"It's amazing, there are dried flowers sold in London, but the fragrance is blended with essence as soon as you smell it, and it is far less natural and smelly than yours."

"These two, one in your closet and the other in your pocket, when the time comes, there will be a fragrance of flowers everywhere you go, you will be a fragrant old lady!" Lin Xia said with a smile.

"Xiangxiang's old lady, then you are Xiangxiang's little girl! Both of us are fragrant! Haha......" Alice smiled very happily.

"Wait until next year, after all the flowers here are blooming, I will teach you how to do this, we will make whatever flowers you like, okay?" Lin Xia shook the flower bag in his hand.

"Great! Summer, I'm so lucky to have met you, you always surprise me! Alice gave Lin Xia a big hug.

"Me too!" Lin Xia hugged Alice back and whispered.

……

At the airport, Meng Haibo hung up the phone angrily, and couldn't help but want to scold out loud.

I don't know who leaked his affairs in London, he didn't even go to see Meng's people when he came over, Meng Qingbo actually knew his whereabouts, and asked Hao Jiawen to call him and say that he wanted to come over.

Meng Haibo felt that he was ill during this time.

I hate Hao Jiawen and flattering and coaxing her everywhere, I wanted to find Lin Xia but was ridiculed by Gu Shen, and I couldn't find Lin Xia but waited for Hao Jiawen's call, which was simply unsatisfactory.

hurried to the airport, and received a call from Meng Qingbo to scold him, and his mood was extremely bad.

Gu Shen's plane was one trip later than Meng Haibo, he chatted with Liu Ming and Liu Shengshen once, and asked Klaus to take him to visit Eisen Company.

The chairman of Aisen's company is Klaus's father, who knew each other when he was in school, and the old Aisen once had the idea of letting Gu Shen go to work in Aisen.

Unexpectedly, after going around and around for so many years, Gu Shen is already an identity that can be equal to him.

During his trip to Europe, Gu Shen gained a lot, not only allowing the branch to open up the situation with the world's top fashion haute couture show, but also receiving a lot of olive branches that wanted to cooperate.

The representative of the Meng family was watching from the side, only greedy.

Moreover, Liu Ming and Liu Sheng also gave Gu Shen a detailed introduction to an old European brand spring that they had been eyeing for a long time, this brand has an extremely long history in Europe, but because it can't keep up with modern management concepts, it basically only exists in the eyes of those nostalgic rich people. 2k reading web
