Chapter 31: No Way Back
Gu Hui put the small recorder in the palm of his hand, but his hands clenched unconsciously.
Taking a set of white professional clothes from the closet, Gu Hui turned around and went into the bathroom.
The water was steamy, and the skin on her neck was rubbed red by her. If it weren't for the stinging sensation, she probably wouldn't have stopped. It's a habit she has developed to take a shower every morning when she wakes up.
It seems that this way you can wash away the mud and make yourself cleaner.
Slender fingers swiped through the lenses, and she stared at herself expressionlessly. I clearly saw that the light under my eyes changed from bright to dark, and then bottomless, and then covered with layers of mist.
It was as if an active volcano had been moving for many days, and at the moment when it finally spewed blood, it unexpectedly stopped.
Although Daniel said that he had already asked her to take a leave of absence and did not have to go to the company in the afternoon. But Gu Hui still couldn't let go, and still stubbornly went to the company.
Daniel was busy outside the office, and he was shocked to see Gu Hui coming to the company. hurriedly put down the work at hand to catch up, and looked her up and down as if he didn't know her.
"Mr. Gu, didn't you say that you were resting today, why did you still come to the company?"
Gu Hui sat back in his chair, picked up Daniel's newly bought mobile phone on the table, took out the memory card and phone card and put them in the new phone: "It's nothing, it's just that I didn't have a good rest last night." Of course, I have to come to the company in the afternoon, and by the way, remember to find financial reimbursement for the money on the mobile phone. ”
"Huh?" Daniel was stunned, "I remember your phone...... It's not because of the official notice. ”
Gu Hui turned on the phone, busy getting familiar with the performance of the new phone, and said without raising his head: "Daniel, your IQ should be spent on work." ”
Daniel was still surprised: "What? ”
Gu Hui put his phone aside and began to read the documents: "On the way here, I heard some news about today, is there any special news?" ”
Daniel seemed to be still struggling with the question just now, but Gu Hui asked. She had no choice but to answer, so she frowned and pondered for a long time before she remembered what she should have answered.
She said: "Yes, today Xinsheng announced a new project with Huaya. ”
Hearing Xinsheng Company, Gu Hui instantly thought of Peng Xianqiong's strong appearance. It seemed like a novelty to get the strong woman to agree to a new project, so she motioned for Daniel to continue.
"Shanghai's energy and environmental protection experimental new area, Xinsheng and Huaya, a total of 70 billion."
Gu Hui suddenly remembered that he had heard others mention this matter at the industry summit last time, although this project sounded like an emerging industry. But the interests behind it are very complicated, especially a strong woman like Peng Xianqiong, I am afraid that she will completely hold the initiative in Xinsheng's hands.
"This project is generally afraid that the group will not dare to accept it, how can Huaya participate? Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this project is very complicated and a trip to troubled waters. Gu Hui was surprised.
Daniel said with a smile: "At today's press conference, the news has been overwhelming. ”
All right.
Gu Hui breathed a long sigh of relief and nodded lightly.
No matter what Xinsheng does, it doesn't matter to her, and she doesn't care. Now the best situation is still irrelevant, not only work, but also Wen Zhixia.
There was a new message reminder on WeChat, Gu Hui picked up his phone to look at it, and saw a friend added. Before she clicked on the opening picture, she had already guessed whose WeChat it was.
Among the people she knows, except for Gu Ranjing, who will use such a childish avatar, there will probably be no one else.
Since the last birthday meeting, I haven't had time to contact her. She now takes the initiative to add her WeChat, she must have something to say.
Actually, it doesn't matter, as long as she doesn't get angry.
After Gu Hui agreed, he marked the remarks and wanted to send some messages, but he didn't know what to send. In the end, it was Gu Ranjing who sent a message first, a location, and a voice.
She said, 'I asked for your WeChat at Anyan, I said goodbye in a hurry last time, and I still have a lot to say to you, and I am now in the café downstairs of your company. ’
At this moment, it is already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and it is only two or three hours before the end of work. So Gu Hui hurriedly explained, and left the company early and went to the café.
When she arrived at the café, Gu Ranjing had already sat down by the window. She wore a long white dress, her long curly hair fell over her shoulders, and when she looked from behind, she looked like an intellectual and elegant capable woman.
She was looking out the window, and the setting sun was shining through the window. Half of her face was almost translucent, a bit like ice, as if it would melt in one breath.
As soon as Gu Hui walked behind her, she turned around and showed a rather quiet smile: "Please take a seat." ”
Gu Hui smiled back, sat down across from her, and asked for a cup of black coffee.
"Originally, I wanted to leave your contact information that night, but then I left in a hurry, although it was not too late."
Gu Hui said: "Well, I was in too much hurry that day. I've been busy with work lately, so I don't have time to contact you. ”
"You don't have to explain it to me." Gu Ranjing interrupted her, "You are really, you don't explain what you should explain, and you have to explain to me what you shouldn't." ”
"I'm sorry."
Gu Ranjing glared at her angrily: "Gu Hui, can you have a little temper?" ”
used to look like it was slaughtered by others, but now it's still like this after so many years. I really want to know how she should sue now, and how to punish those people.
Gu Hui tilted his head: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Gu Ranjing was anxious: "I already know, An Yan told me everything." I know you're going to be sad to bring it up now, but I just want to ask you from the shoes of a friend. Do you really regard me as a friend, why would you rather tell An Yan everything and leave with him at that time than reveal a single thing to me? ”
After speaking, she was still angry, and added: "Are you stupid, you haven't done anything wrong, it's them who are wrong, why are you leaving?" ”
Gu Hui stirred the coffee lightly and sat up straight, looking a little dazed.
She felt that the scars on her body were being uncovered layer by layer, although she knew that sooner or later such a day would come. But when you face it suddenly, you still feel heartbroken.
"So what? Can they be punished? After that incident, I suffered from severe depression, and I don't know how to deal with you and Wen Zhixia. So I begged An Yan to take me away, Ran Jing, I know I'm sorry for you. But at that time, I really didn't have any other choice. ”
Gu Ranjing's eyes were red, and tears were already shining in his eyes.
It's like knowing that no amount of blame and nonsense is useless, and there is no room for recovery. She let out a heavy breath to calm her emotions before turning to look at her again.
"So now, when you come back at this time, is there any way to get justice?"
"Well, I have ...... on my hand bodily fluids, and other evidence. ”
Gu Ranjing was puzzled: "Then what are you waiting for, why don't you sue quickly?" ”
Gu Hui shook his head gently, his mood at the moment was like the afterglow outside the window. Covered with a thin halo, it lost its original brilliance and color.
"A lot of things happened to me abroad, and it was Chairman Xu of Xinfan who adopted me as an adopted daughter and became his legal daughter, so that I have where I am today. Now is not the time, I have to wait for the branch to gain a foothold in the country before I can sue. ”
thought that she had suffered so many grievances and humiliations alone, and had struggled through the past few years. Gu Ranjing felt distressed for no reason, and she forced back the last trace of coldness under her eyes.
She put down the coffee cup in her hand: "What about An Yan and Wen Zhixia?" What are you going to do now, do you really want to marry An Yan? Wen Zhixia ......"
"Ran Jing." Gu Hui stopped her.
Gu Ranjing looked at her so seriously again, only to find that she was very different from before. In the past, Gu Hui was always full of vitality and as warm as the sun. But now, she was so calm, as if her heart was dead.
"From high school to college, I have been circling around Wen Zhixia. I've paid enough for loving him. Now I don't want to do that anymore, I will only revolve around Wen Zhixia's Gu Hui. ”
She paused before saying, "I have no fate with him, and it is impossible in this life." Besides, where am I going to find a second person who is as good as him to me, besides An Yan? ”
After all, it's impossible.
She used to love him like that, she used to have him, and she always thought it would be for a lifetime. But after struggling for too long, I couldn't earn such a result after all. He was still there, right in front of her, but he was too far away for her to reach again.
To be able to see him again, to see his familiar eyebrows in front of him. Even in his dreams, he was so stingy that he never appeared, and he was separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and he had already lost his way back.
Gu Hui, who finally left, didn't know anymore, her thoughts drifted far away. When she finally got up to leave, she instinctively pleaded with her.
"Ran Jing, don't tell Wen Zhixia. Otherwise, his character will definitely not give up. I just want to go back to Virginia after all this is done, and I don't want to make any more trouble. ”
Gu Ranjing looked at her deeply and nodded in agreement.
I probably know everything now, and I can understand why she is so stubborn and refuses to tell anyone, so I am no longer embarrassed.
Gu Hui came out of the café, and the sunset was already left.
The sunlight that had been bright just now dimmed instantly, and the whole city was shrouded in twilight little by little.
I ate too late at noon, so I'm not hungry at all. When she returned to the company, she happened to meet Daniel getting off work, and although the two of them had a lot of contact, it was always because of work.
So Gu Hui asked Daniel to go to the shopping mall next to him for a stroll and have dinner by the way. Daniel naturally did not refuse, and the two of them walked around the mall for a long time.
Gu Hui picked out a set of spring and summer versatile skirts, pink and pink colors. She looks refreshing and cute, like a little girl in her early twenties, which is very different from her usual black and white overalls.
Daniel praised her: "Mr. Gu, you are very beautiful today." ”
Gu Hui didn't know why, remembering an old-fashioned answer, she smiled reluctantly: "You mean to say that I'm not usually pretty?" ”
