Chapter 65: Life is Short
There is no pressure, as if it is a normal celebration for partners.
She remembered what Jessica told her about her wedding photos, and it was only half a month before October 15. Half a month later, it will be the engagement banquet between her and An Yan, whether she wants to or not, there is no room for refusal.
So she instinctively wanted to keep her distance, which was to peel off the last trace of pain and embarrassment between her and him.
She said, "I'm sorry, I'm ...... tonight"
βLouisγβ Not far away, a familiar voice came as Jessica's slender figure stepped out of the darkness with a white lily in his arms. He gave the flowers to Gu Hui and bowed slightly to Wen Zhixia. "It just so happens that Mr. Wen is also here, congratulations on the success of your press conference."
He smiled at Gu Hui: "I have seen your performance, and you have done a good job." β
Wen Zhixia sent out an invitation again: "I am telling Mr. Gu that I have worked hard in the past few months. Bring the team to dinner together, does Mr. Xu want to be together? β
I don't know how much they know each other, but when they meet like this at this moment, the atmosphere is awkward and weird.
"Nope." Jessica tilted her head to look at Gu Hui. "I'm going to take Louis to try on her wedding dress in the evening, and her engagement with An Yan is on October 15th. If Wen always has time, you are welcome to participate. β
Gu Hui's half-clenched fist hand instantly clenched, her nails digging deep into her skin, while her other hand was trembling slightly.
For so long, this is the first time that someone has confronted Wen Zhixia and said such a thing, she has always been a snail who can only escape. I thought that if I kept running away like this, I would never face such embarrassment.
She used such pain to cover up the self-deprecation in her heart, but she could still feel Wen Zhixia's gaze, sharp and transparent.
She didn't say a word until she got in the car.
Jessica sat next to her and suddenly laughed, "Haven't told him yet?" β
Gu Hui opened his mouth, forcibly endured the unhappiness in his heart, and said, "Jessica...... May I ask you if Louis told you what her greatest wish would be if she could survive? β
Jessica's face was in a trance for a moment, and he thought for a moment before saying, "Marry the person she loves, travel the world, and then repay everyone around her for the rest of her life." β
She lowered her eyes and asked for a while, "Am I asking too much?" β
Jessica reached out and took her hand, "I'm sorry, if it weren't for what I was running away from. Maybe your father won't put all the pressure on you, and you won't be so embarrassed. β
"To like is to be presumptuous, and to love is to be restrained."
Gu Hui hooked the corners of his lips: "I shouldn't provoke him, I shouldn't be greedy for too much." β
Jessica frowned, thinking that she just couldn't accept these cruel facts for a while, so she comforted her: "Don't you always be like this, you're Louis, you're my sister, you're part of our family, you have the right to think and choose your own thoughts, don't always think of yourself as a robot." β
Gu Hui shook his head: "It's not your problem, it's that I'm not worthy of ......"
Jessica's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Gu Hui, don't talk nonsense!" β
Gu Hui swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
Jessica's face returned to normal, and she touched her head and said, "Push the work at hand, get some rest, and welcome your engagement feast." An Yan loves you very much, apart from him, you can't find a second person in this world who loves you like him. You have to cherish the people in front of you, you know? β
Gu Hui nodded.
Seeing that her mood seemed to have eased, Jessica smiled faintly: "After your engagement banquet, I will hold an art exhibition at my own expense, and I will invite you to participate in it at that time." β
Gu Hui continued to nod.
Jessica looked at her deeply and said softly, "I know you're tired today, so let's not choose a wedding dress first, let's go back." β
The driver took them back and had a casual dinner downstairs. In fact, it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, but as soon as Gu Hui got home, he collapsed on the sofa and fell asleep tiredly.
She lifted the wrist of her left hand, and it was a very ugly scar on it.
Only she knows that today's emotions are out of control again. Post-traumatic stress disorder, mild depression?
Louis's face appeared in her mind again, her face was shrouded in the warm halo of the setting sun, and she said: "Gu Hui, please live for me, no matter what, please live for me." β
From now on, you are Louis.
She had a long dream, and there were many things in the dream, and the span of time was very large.
It's like recreating all the things she has experienced in the past 20 years.
"Gu Hui, this is your home, no matter where you go, Gu's mother welcomes you back at any time."
"Gu Hui, you have thought it through, if you follow me, you can only be my person in this life."
"I wish you nothing you have in this life."
"There is only one time in life, and if you die, it will be in line with the wishes of that group."
"From today on, you are Louis, and you are Xu Guhui."
"Gu Hui, I'll ask you one last time, are you still willing to come back, if you want, I have been waiting for you in the same place."
"It's still too late, whether you need to withdraw from the marriage or not, it's all up to you."
The man said, good luck.
In fact, it is not so bitter, at least she knows that in this world. There are people who love her, there are people she cares about, and there are people who have been waiting for her.
The love that withers before it opens, and the youth that withers before it blooms. There is so much suffering in the world, and what she has endured is only part of it. It's just that she has endured too much in a short period of time, and it's all condensed in her best years. So the impact on her was too great, a tsunami-like bump, engraved in the bones and indelible.
Every day from now on should be smooth sailing and sweet.
What she loves, who loves her, everyone is there.
She buried all her emotions and stubbornly looked forward.
After KS was launched, the number of user experiences quickly exceeded one million. Gu Hui had a chance to breathe, but An Yan was still busy abroad, and he refused to contact her, and the jet lag made it impossible for her to contact him.
After a busy week, she called Daniel in her spare time to go to the construction site and make a raid.
She walked out of the office and said as she put on her coat, "Speaking of which, it seems that everything has been going well since the last accident at the construction site." β
Daniel held the notebook in his hand and nodded in agreement: "There has been no wind and waves all the time, I think Mr. Liao should be much more vigilant than before." β
Gu Hui entered the elevator and pressed the first floor: "What about Wang Yanlin, do you have any explanation?" β
Wang Yanlin is the representative of Xinfan, the No. 2 Bridge project, and has full authority to handle the site affairs. He is responsible for the incoming materials, staff reduction, construction period, large and small affairs.
It's a good thing that she's been calm, and she's happy to be idle. But since the last accident on the construction site, she has always regretted agreeing to subcontract, no matter how vigilant Liao Bin is now, something bad has happened.
