Chapter 103: Someone Comes on a Snowy Night
Five years later.
In Zurich, Switzerland, a federal country in Central Europe, it is snowy season.
The heavy snow obscured the red spires of the city's buildings, turning the whole thing into a white world of ice and snow, like a fairy tale from Hans Christian Andersen.
In a villa, the fireplace was blazing, a fat Alaskan dog was lying on the gray carpet, and a little boy of five or six years old was reading a children's book in German with his back against the big dog.
After a while, an Oriental woman in a black dress and a white apron walked out, with a glass of warm milk on a silver tray.
She said in Chinese: "Little master, drink milk." ”
As soon as the little boy looked up, his little face was already angular and more and more like his father. So much so that the maid, Bibo, was always in a trance when she saw him.
It's been five years, it's been five years since they left the country, and I don't know if the second master and his adjutant Gu are doing well?
She reads the newspaper a lot, and knows that the situation in the country has settled down in the past two years after a few years of turmoil. The president is suffering from a serious illness5, and the next presidential candidate has the highest voice is Gu Yangxiao.
Bibo remembered that a faint smile appeared on the young lady's face after seeing the news, "He is also begging for benevolence, standing at the top, their Ying family can raise their eyebrows." ”
Although Miss looks indifferent, Bibo really doesn't want Gu Yangxiao to be some big president, so he and Miss will never be together.
And a few days ago, there was news that he was going to marry the daughter of the current president, which increased the bargaining chips in the competition.
The second master still values power so much, and Bibo sighed again.
Little Master Gu Xu held his cheeks and asked her, "Aunt Bo, why do you always sigh today?" ”
"It's nothing, probably because I feel homesick when I see this snow."
Gu Xu's impression of China is very weak, but he still remembers that he has a heroic and tall father.
"Will it snow so much in our country?"
Bibo nodded, "Yes, our country is very big, and some places have thousands of miles of snow, while others are like spring all year round." ”
Gu Xu longed for it, "The fairy tale book also says that our country is a very mysterious transition, someone can turn stones into gold, I really want to go back and see." ”
"What are you looking at? Gu Xu, have you finished your homework? ”
As soon as Gu Xu looked up, he saw his mother Gu Luzhang coming out of the study.
She wore a soft white sweater, a dark green long skirt underneath, and her shoulder-length hair was permed into beautiful curls, which were tucked behind her ears while covering her cheeks, and a broken diamond hairpin was buttoned.
Elegant, mature and beautiful, the twenty-four-year-old Gu Luzhang is like a flower that blooms to the extreme, and the beauty is intoxicating.
Xu'er is not too clingy to her, at a young age, this child has already shown independence and strength similar to his father, which makes Lu Zhang have to sigh at the strength of Gu Yangxiao's genes.
"Mom, I've already finished my homework, and I want to take the rabbi out to play."
Rabi is the name of the dog, it is a very friendly and caring dog, Gu Xu wants to take it with him everywhere he goes.
"No, it's too cold, you'd better stay inside. Bibo, I still have some accounts to check, if Chuncao comes back, let her go to my study. Also, bring me a cup of coffee. ”
Waiting for her to leave, Bibo pinched Gu Xu's little ears, "Drink the milk obediently, I'll pour coffee for your mother." ”
Gu Xu fell on the dog, feeling that he had nothing to love, so he had to pick up the book again.
At this time, the doorbell rang, and Bibo said, "Baby, it must be your Aunt Chun who is back, you go and open the door." ”
Gu Xu got up, ran to the door, and opened the door neatly.
As soon as he opened the door, he was startled.
There were two snowman-like men at the door, with gray hair and eyebrows.
"Who are you looking for?" Grandma's childish voice was very crisp, but it was in German.
The shorter man who rang the doorbell turned back to the tall one and said, "Second master, this is here, this is the little young master." ”
The man behind him stepped forward and bent down to look at him.
"Xu'er, you are Xu'er."
Gu Xu took a step back and desperately shouted for his mother.
Bibo ran over first, and Gu Quan saw her at a glance, "Bibo, you have become beautiful." ”
"Gu Quan, second master, why are you here?" As soon as she finished speaking, she ran into the house, "Miss, Miss, someone is here, someone is from China." ”
Gu Quan walked in with Gu Yangxiao with his luggage, the snow on their bodies immediately melted in the warm room, and the two of them were a little embarrassed, standing at the entrance and not daring to go inside.
At this time, Lu Zhang had already come out, and Gu Xu ran over and grabbed her hand, "Mom, there are two uncles here." ”
Lu Zhang had already looked over and collided with Gu Yangxiao's gaze.
At that moment, the world fell silent.
He looked at her, and she looked at him.
Even if you have seen it thousands of times in your dreams, it is better to take a look at it in the crowd like this.
If the gaze turns into substance, it is all a continuous stream of thoughts, covering them like a cloud.
"Green, green." Gu Yangxiao opened his mouth first.
Lu Zhang suddenly smiled, she took her son's hand and smiled like a flower, "Xu'er, this is my mother's second uncle, call me second grandfather." ”
At this sentence, the audience vomited blood.
Especially Gu Yangxiao, his face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and the melted snow flowed down from the top of his head, like his aggrieved tears.
Bibo was busy playing the round, "That, I'll take the second master and Gu Quan to take a shower and change clothes first." ”
Gu Quan looked at Lu Zhang emptily, and he said that he would find a hotel to stay in first, don't be so embarrassed, and the second master can't wait for a minute, how embarrassing it would be if he drove people out.
But fortunately, Lu Zhang didn't have any objections, and let Bibo take people upstairs.
They were taking a shower, Bibo walked to the living room, she saw Lu Zhang sitting on the sofa in a daze, and Xu'er leaning next to her, a rare silence.
She said cautiously: "Miss, I see that the second master and they are all carrying luggage, do you want them to stay?" ”
"No, call the Alexandria Hotel and book them two rooms, and someone will drop them off later."
Bibo nodded, "Yes." ”
"Bibo, let them boil some porridge to warm their stomachs, and prepare something to eat, and let them go when they are full."
With that, she stood up and went back to her study.
Gu Xu grabbed Bibo, "That person is my father, right?" ”
Bibo was surprised, "How do you know?" Remember? ”
"He looks so much like me, I can tell it at a glance. But what's the matter with my mother, why do I call him second grandfather? ”
"This?" Bibo couldn't answer, and the pit was too deep for Miss.
"The two of them are having an awkward relationship, or your mother wouldn't have brought you here."
"Whose fault is that, my dad?"
"Yes......"
"It's my fault, it's all my fault, I failed your mother back then, and I took you out of the country because she was too sad."
Gu Yangxiao walked downstairs, his hair was still wet, and he was wearing a neat suit, although there were a few more lines on his face than five years ago, but it was the most generous gift of the years, not old but mature and domineering.
At a glance, Gu Xu's eyes were filled with deep admiration, and he imagined that his father should be like this.
Gu Yangxiao came to him and picked him up.
Tears moistened his eyes in an instant, and he touched his little face, "Xu'er has grown up." ”
Gu Xu has been very independent since he was a child, and no one has hugged him for a long time. At this time, he looked at Gu Yangxiao's powerful arms and hard chest with envy, and that kind of admiration was even stronger.
"You're really my dad."
Gu Yangxiao nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's true." Xu'er, I have come a long way to see you and my mother. ”
Gu Xu blinked, and suddenly said to Bibo, who was in tears, "Aunt Bo, I have a father." Ollie next door no longer dares to scold me for being a little cub without a father. ”
Listening to his son's words, Gu Yangxiao's tears finally couldn't help flowing, he hugged Xu'er hard and buried his face in his clothes, "No need, Dad will never let anyone bully you again." ”
Bibo wiped his eyes, "Second Master, it's good that you can come." ”
Gu Yangxiao put his son down, he wiped his eyes, "What about your eldest lady?" ”
"She went to the study." After speaking, Bibo hurriedly added, "She was afraid that you would be cold, so she ordered the kitchen to cook porridge for you, and you eat first." ”
Gu Yangxiao lifted his lips and laughed, "She wants us to eat and get out of here?" ”
Gu Xu was anxious, "Don't go, it's snowing so heavily outside." ”
His son's non-rejection made Gu Yangxiao's heart warm, "Don't you want me to go?" ”
"Yes, Daddy."
"Call me again."
Gu Xu's little hand wrapped around his neck, "Dad, don't go, Mom, she is very soft-hearted." When Xu'er made a mistake, she ignored me, but I coaxed her and begged for a hug, and she ignored it. You also go to coax her, and even more coquettishly. ”
Gu Quan in the back almost laughed out loud, what the second master looked like when he was coquettish, he couldn't imagine.
Bi Bo beside him gave him a blank look, "I have booked you the Alexandria Hotel, and someone will send you over in a while." ”
Gu Quan whispered, "Then you don't want to keep us?" ”
"I don't count what I'm talking about, it depends on the young lady."
The two of them were whispering, and Gu Xu led Gu Yangxiao to find his mother.
He said he would intercede for him and let him stay at home.
Gu Yangxiao held his son's soft little hand, and he felt very peaceful. It's all here, no matter how difficult it is, he will chase Lu Zhang.
When he arrived at the door, Gu Xu knocked on the door, "Mom." ”
Luzhang was in a daze when he heard a knock on the door and was startled.
At that moment, she thought it was Gu Yangxiao coming, but she was relieved after hearing Gu Xu's voice, and at the same time she was a little disappointed.
She came to open the door, "Do you still want to go out and play in the snow?" I said no...... Why haven't you left yet? ”
Gu Yangxiao's hands were quick, and he held up the door she was about to close.
"Lu Zhang, I'm all here, are you afraid of me because you avoid it?"
Lu Zhang calmed down from his initial stunned and smiled at him, "Second uncle, you are joking. I'm afraid of you, why? ”
"By virtue of," he suddenly approached, his tall body enveloping her, "with you, a little liar, you deceived me miserably, and stole my son." ”
Lu Zhang scoffed, "That's my son too." ”
Seeing that their expressions were not harmonious, Xu'er inserted herself between them, looked up and said, "I am my father's son and my mother's son." ”
Both of them looked down at him, and they bumped their heads together.
Lu Zhang covered his forehead, and now he had an excuse to redden.
He hurriedly reached over, "Does it hurt?" I'll rub it for you. ”
Luzhang slapped his hand away, "No. ”
After speaking, she said to Xu'er: "You take this gentleman to dinner, and then let Aunt Bubo arrange to send them away." ”
Xu'er shouted, "Mom, it's not right for you to do this. My parents live together, and my father came to see me from far away China, and you want to kick him out, even if it's an ordinary friend, you shouldn't be like this. You're not saying that you have friends from afar, and you're happy. ”
Gu Yangxiao is full of pride, his son is amazing, not only can he speak German, but he can also learn Chinese culture.
Without waiting for Lu Zhang to speak, Xu'er pushed Gu Yangxiao forward and slammed the door shut, "You two talk about it personally, you are not allowed to come out." ”
After saying that, he twisted the bronze key on the door a few times and pulled it out.
Lu Zhang really didn't expect that she had raised a little white-eyed wolf, she went to pull the door, but she didn't move.
"Gu Xu, are you itching?"
Gu Yangxiao grabbed her wrist, "My son is kind-hearted, you shouldn't scold him." ”
Lu Zhang struggled to break free, "That's my business with him, I don't need you to preach." ”
Gu Yangxiao looked down at her, his eyes were like the starry sky of the deep sea, "Tao Tao, are you so angry with me?" ”
Lu Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "Shouldn't I?" ”
"I'm sorry." He took her hand and put it over his eyes, and Luzhang felt a wetness.
Did he cry? This realization made her heart throb slightly.
She sighed softly, "Second uncle, you don't have to say I'm sorry, five years is like a lifetime for me." I'm alive and well now. I learned German, I bought a shop and started a business, I don't know how good my life was in Zurich, so you don't have to say I'm sorry. ”
"You mean, you don't need me anymore? Are you already unwilling to be my little petite? ”
"Yes" Lu Zhang's eyes were also moist, "If you want to be loved and maintained, it depends on the person's face, where is your own strength." ”
"Aren't you going to give me a chance at all?"
She nodded, "There are so many people who pursue me, and I can't afford to waste my time with someone who has hurt me and failed me." Second uncle, I've come out of the past, don't hold back. ”
He looked into her eyes, deep and heavy, as if to see through her heart, to verify that she was not lying.
Lu Zhang's beautiful eyes are clear, slightly shining with clear light, like still water and clear pools, without a trace of waves.
Is it really not loved? He couldn't see himself in her eyes anymore.
A wry smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he took a step back, "I understand, goodbye." ”
He was so easy to pass away, Lu Zhang was stunned again.
Gu Yangxiao's persistence is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and what he wants to do has to achieve his goal. This time he came from afar, he was able to retreat so easily, could he just come to see his son?
He should be very happy to be like this, just like she said, she put him down and he let go, and everyone is fine, isn't it?
Gu Yangxiao left in the snow, and during dinner, Bibo complained while setting the meal, "What's the matter, let people have a meal, do we still need them a meal?" ”
Lu Zhang's eyes narrowed suddenly, "Do you want to stay and eat?" Bibo, are you interested in him? ”
Bibo's face turned red all of a sudden, and she hurried to the kitchen, "I didn't have it, Miss, you will talk nonsense, I'll go see if the soup is ready." ”
Chuncao smiled and said, "She's shy, I think Miss is right." In the past few years, she has found countless boyfriends, both white and Chinese, and she dislikes others, so her heart has always been in China. ”
Lu Zhang couldn't change the problem of biting chopsticks, "I'll just say, her relationship with Gu Quan has always been good, and I don't know if Gu Quan is married now, and he is not too young." ”
"Wouldn't you just ask?"
Lu Zhang looked at Chuncao, "Don't just talk about Bibo, what about you?" I've delayed you. ”
Chuncao is now helping in Luzhang's company, Bibo is the housekeeper at home, the two of them are one mile and one away, they are Luzhang's right-hand men, if she lets them go, she is really reluctant.
Chuncao helped Luzhang pick up vegetables, "Miss, you are not in a hurry, we are in a hurry." ”
"Do you have a sweetheart, in the country?"
Chuncao was stunned for a moment, and a man's face appeared in her mind, although she was not completely handsome, and she could not be considered a good person, but she had never forgotten it.
"I didn't, Miss eat."
How could she escape Lu Zhang's eyes with this moment of distraction, she was even more sure that there was someone in her heart, and this person was still in the country.
During the whole process of eating, Gu Xu didn't say much, he ate half a bowl of rice and said that he was full and wanted to go upstairs to sleep.
Lu Zhang knew that he was angry, this kid used all his skills in order to let his parents talk about the chain door, but he didn't expect to easily unscrew it for Gu Yangxiao in the end, he didn't stop when he called him, just smiled and said goodbye to him.
He felt that his father must want to stay, and it should be his mother who was scolding him, so he walked away.
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved the child felt, although he also understood that there were adult grievances in this, but he really wanted his father so much.
Lu Zhang felt that he should talk to him, but he didn't know how to speak, did he prevaricate him with the fact that children don't understand adults?
What's more, Lu Zhang already felt very tired, and she locked herself in the study in a daze again.
Gu Yangxiao's arrival reminded her of a lot of old things, in fact, she put it down, and now she thinks about it so vividly.
It was about 10 o'clock in the evening, and Bibo suddenly shouted Gu Xu's name.
She pushed open the door of the study and asked her loudly, "Miss, have you seen the little master?" ”
Lu Zhang was so panicked when he stood up that his calf slammed on the table.
She didn't feel any pain, "He hasn't been here, has he been looking for it upstairs and downstairs?" ”
"I even looked for the storage room, but there was no one."
"And his thick coat and little buckskin boots?"
Bi Bo hurriedly looked, and the shoe rack was empty, and there was no Gu Xu's pair of small boots studded with white mink fur.
Lu Zhang was in a hurry, looking at the white expanse outside, she said to Bibo: "Open the door quickly and see if there are any footprints." ”
Bibo opened the door, and a gust of cold wind hit him, and both of them shivered.
Under the eaves, a thin layer of snow was blown by the wind, with a few shallow footprints on it, and the road leading to the outside was covered with snow.
This makes sure that the child has left the house.
Lu Zhang was angry and wanted to scold people, this bear child, he didn't let her save his heart at all.
"Call Gu Yangxiao at the Alexander Hotel and ask him if the child has gone?"
When Bi Bo went to make a phone call, Lu Zhang had already put on her fur coat and was ready to go out to find the child.
"Miss, the second master said that he didn't see the little master."
Luzhang snorted and bent down to change his shoes.
"Let's go and find it, don't go."
Lu Zhang didn't even raise his head, "It's impossible for a mother to leave her child alone, you let me go." ”
The two of them called the cook, gardener, driver and others at home, and went out to find them together.
The snow was so frightened that it was really hit, and when I stepped on it, it reached my calves. Lu Zhang didn't care about this, children would freeze in such cold weather.
They were just halfway through when they saw a few snowmen coming from the opposite side, and the one who walked to the front saw them and shouted, "Miss." ”
Who else is there besides Gu Quan in this Jinzhou accent, and the person behind him is Gu Yangxiao.
Luzhang hurriedly tried to pass, but her feet slipped and she fell to her knees on the snow.
Gu Yangxiao hurriedly walked over and helped her up, "Be careful." ”
"Sunny ......"
"Here, here." As he spoke, Gu Yangxiao opened his fur coat, and Xu'er fell asleep in his arms, her little face flushed.
Lu Zhang raised his hand and gave Gu Yangxiao a slap, which stunned everyone.
"Gu Yangxiao, you are so despicable. It's clear that Xu'er is there with you, why do you still say no? ”
Gu Yangxiao raised his hand and touched his face, "You think of me like this?" ”
Lu Zhang was too impulsive just now, and now that she calms down, she feels that she has done a little too much, but she doesn't want to apologize, anyway, the more her son is lost, the more because of him, if he doesn't come, where will such a thing happen?
Thinking like this, she was even more confident, and reached out to hug her son, "Give Xu'er back to me." ”
Gu Yangxiao held her waist with one hand, "Don't be reckless, can you hug it?" ”
If Lu Zhang could walk two steps with the child in her arms, it would be a little difficult for her to walk by herself in such a heavy snow.
Bibo came over and said, "Miss, you just let the second master hold it, it's too cold here, hurry up and go home, don't let the little master catch a cold." ”
Lu Zhang took the lead in turning his head, "Let people hold the little young master, don't work to take care of the handsome." ”
Gu Yangxiao touched his face again, stepped forward and lowered his head and said in her ear: "I was injured, I have to go to your house to ask for medical expenses." ”
"Dreaming."
Lu Zhang's steps were so big that she almost fell on the snow, but Gu Yang hurriedly grabbed her arm.
Lu Zhang made a few ugliness in front of him in a row, and even became angry and ashamed, and strode forward with a straight face.
Gu Yangxiao and Bibo were left behind, and Bibo asked, "Second Master, where did you find the little master?" ”
Fortunately, there was someone who understood, Gu Quan replied for Gu Yangxiao, "When I received a call from the eldest lady, the second master went out to find someone, and the little master found it on the side of the road." He was probably tired of walking and looking for a place to rest, but he fell asleep. ”
Lu Zhang listened and was scared in front of him, if he slept outside for a long time and the adults couldn't find him, wouldn't he freeze to death?
For this naughty child, Lu Zhang thought that he must not let her go.
As soon as she entered, she went to get the rattan.
Gu Yangxiao grabbed her wrist, "What are you doing here?" ”
"I'm going to teach this naughty kid a lesson."
Gu Yangxiao handed the child to Bibo, "Xu'er is asleep, you hurry up and wrap him in a quilt, don't have a fever." ”
Bibo took the opportunity to take the child away, and Lu Zhang's rattan was whipped on Gu Yangxiao, "I teach my son a lesson and ask you to be nosy." ”
Gu Yangxiao looked at her, his eyes were very evil.
