The farthest distance in the world is not life and death, but I stand in front of you, and you don't know that I love you.

For Zhong Qing, the farthest distance in the world is not that she doesn't know Gu Xiu's love for her, but that she knows that she also likes Gu Xiu, but she can't admit it.

"Zhong Qing?" On the plane, Xu Ruo raised his hand and shook it in front of Zhong Qing's eyes: "What are you thinking about so distractedly?" ”

Zhong Qing smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that I think I'll be very busy when I go back, and I'm just thinking about how to arrange my time." ”

"If there's anything you need my help with, just ask." Xu Ruodao: "Gu Ziyu and Zhou Han haven't graduated yet after all, and they don't have much time, so if you are really busy, call me at any time." ”

"You are now the general manager of the Inge Hotel, and you want to take care of the operation of your Xu family's hotels all over the country, how dare I trouble you." Zhong Qing said half-jokingly.

Xu Ruo looked at Zhong Qing's curved eyes, and a certain part of his heart was rubbed hard, he was willing to do anything for Zhong Qing's smile, even if it could only be as a friend.

"I went to look for you this morning, and the waiter said that you opened another room, what's wrong?"

Zhong Qing turned her head a little embarrassed, avoiding Xu Ruo's gaze, she didn't want to talk about Gu Xiu getting drunk and suddenly running into her room last night.

"I didn't like that room, so I changed it."

Such a lame lie came out of Zhong Qing's mouth, Xu Ruo still chose to believe it, he could vaguely guess what Zhong Qing was hiding, it might be related to Gu Xiu, right? Xu Ruo was silent, and an awkward atmosphere spread between the two.

More than three hours later, when the plane landed at the airport, Zhong Qing rubbed her stiff neck, and politely refused Xu Ruo's offer to send her home, she called a car and went to the hospital with a few luggage.

As early as after Zhong Qing signed the contract with the factory, he received a call from Wei Lan from the hospital, in which he only briefly said "Mrs. Yun wants to see you" and then reported the address of the hospital.

Zhong Qing held a bouquet of flowers and skin care products in her hand, and took the elevator directly to the VIP ward on the top floor of the hospital.

Wei Lan, who was in a wheelchair, was waiting for Zhong Qing at the elevator entrance, and the latter couldn't help but be surprised to see that Wei Lan had become so haggard in just half a month.

Thinking that Wei Lan had become like this for his own reasons, Zhong Qing felt guilty.

"Don't look sorry for me like this, I'm here to save the second master." Wei Lan shrugged her shoulders, tugging at a stiff muscle, grinning in pain.

"Gu Zihan is uneasy and kind, he wants to put the second master to death, even if you don't show up, he will do it." It's just that Gu Zihan lost his mind angrily when he saw Zhong Qing defending Gu Xiu in every possible way, but it was precisely because he was out of control that Gu Xiu grabbed the handle.

Zhong Qing was silent, she followed Wei Lan's side, and the two of them went to Yun Ling's hospital room together.

After a period of rehabilitation, Yun Ling's physical function has recovered most of it, although she is still a little weak, but her mental state is much better, the first time she saw Zhong Qing with her own eyes, she smiled very gently, especially after knowing that this Zhong Qing was the girl Gu Xiu liked, she looked at Zhong Qing with love in her eyes.

"Hello Auntie, I'm Zhong Qing." Putting the flowers aside, Zhong Qing looked at Yun Ling a little nervously: "Listen to Wei Lan, do you want to see me?" ”

Yun Ling pulled Zhong Qing to sit down on the sofa and said, "I've always heard of you before, but now that I see you, I know that you are so beautiful, my son does have a vision, not bad!" Not bad! How long have you been dating? My son didn't bully you, did he? ”

Zhong Qing realized that Yun Ling was talking about her relationship with Gu Xiu, and lowered her head in embarrassment and uneasiness, how could she explain to Yun Ling that she had rejected Gu Xiu?

If you tell the truth, will it break the hearts of the elderly? Zhong Qing considered that Yun Ling had just woken up and was in the recovery period, so she couldn't bear to stimulate her, so she had to follow her words against her will.

Gu Xiu...... It's good that he didn't bully me. I'm sorry Auntie, I should have come over earlier when you woke up. ”

When Zhong Qing said this, Wei Lan next to him raised his eyebrows, hearing that Zhong Qing meant that he was with the second master? Impossible! How could the second master never say such a big thing.

Looking at Zhong Qing's cramped eyes carefully, Wei Lan realized that she was telling a lie to comfort Mrs. Yun.

Yun Ling had already learned about Gu Xiu and Zhong Qing from Wei Lan, she deliberately said that Gu Xiu and Zhong Qing were together, just to test Zhong Qing's tone, but she didn't expect this kid to be so kind, she was afraid that she would admit it.

"My son really didn't see the wrong person." Yun Ling patted Zhong Qing's hand and said, "Child, Auntie knows that you are still single, so you don't have to lie for me." ”

Zhong Qing blinked and breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Yun Ling holding her hand so happily just now, she really couldn't bear to tell Yun Ling the truth.

"It's nice weather outside today, so push me out for a walk."

Zhong Qing looked at the wheelchair in the room, nodded and said "yes", and helped Yun Ling to sit up. Wei Lan followed the two of them to the garden, knowing that Yun Ling had something to say to Zhong Qing, so he asked his men to push themselves farther away, so that they could just see them.

Although the sun is now close to noon, considering Yun Ling's weak body, Zhong Qing put the blanket on her knees, and then took off her coat and draped it over her body, seeing Zhong Qing doing so many things, Yun Ling maintained a gentle smile from beginning to end.

"Child, as Gu Xiu's mother, there are some things that I, as Gu Xiu's mother, may seem to be partial, but if I don't say them, I feel even more uncomfortable."

Zhong Qing nodded: "It's okay, Auntie, just say whatever you want." ”

"My son has never done anything bad since he was a child, and the only wrong thing he has ever done in his life is to recognize Gu Guosheng for me." Yun Ling sighed, every time she thought of this, she blamed herself very much, if it wasn't for the fact that she had been in a coma for more than three years in a car accident, Gu Xiu would not have bowed her head to Gu Guosheng.

"I don't have high requirements for Gu Xiu, I just hope that he can live this life healthy and safe, even if he can't make a lot of money, just be able to support his family." Yun Ling shook her head: "But I didn't expect that he was now forced like this by Gu Guosheng and did a lot of things he didn't like to do, he said that he couldn't turn back now, I knew that if he left the Gu family at this time, both of us would be in danger." ”

Zhong Qing knew that Gu Xiu returned to the Gu family because of Yun Ling, but she didn't know why after Yun Ling woke up, Gu Xiu not only did not withdraw as he said at the beginning, but more actively participated in the management of the Gu Group.

Seeing the distress in Zhong Qing's eyes, Yun Ling clenched her hand.

"But because of your presence, what he endured did not crush him." Yun Ling said: "I have never seen Gu Xiu like someone so much, Miss Zhong, I know, you may not have that kind of idea for my son, or you may be tired of his pursuit, but I want to ask you for one thing today." ”

"Even if you don't like him, even if you will never be with him, please don't refuse to be his light."

Zhong Qing was puzzled: "His ...... Light? ”

"The Gu family is darkness for Gu Xiu, I have a hunch that he will face even greater darkness in the future, but Miss Zhong, your existence is the light in his life, and his eyes are shining every time he mentions you. So I beg you, even if you don't like him in the slightest, don't leave him alone in that darkness. ”

Yun Ling will never forget Wei Mengjun's hatred for her in her life, although she was deceived by Gu Guosheng back then, she still gave birth to Gu Xiu, the reason why she Wei Mengjun didn't attack herself and Gu Xiu in those years was because she never used Gu Xiu as a bargaining chip to ask Gu Guosheng for money, and Wei Mengjun felt that she was no threat to her.

But now it's different, Gu Xiu is in the center of the Gu family's power, Wei Mengjun will not let go of Gu Xiu and Yun Ling even if it is for her son, Gu Xiu is desperate to climb up for Yun Ling, how can Yun Ling, as a mother, not feel sorry for her son?

Zhong Qing's heart was pinched, she never thought that the things Gu Xiu did were all involuntarily. From Yun Ling's car accident and hospitalization in a coma, Gu Xiu's cynicism to the later forced resistance by Wei Mengjun was all about protecting important people.

Just like that day in the Tianqian Bar, Gu Xiu was willing to be beaten into a coma by Gu Zihan for his own sake, and he didn't fight back.

Gu Xiu, Gu Xiu, you do all those things for others, when can you think about it for yourself? Zhong Qing's heart was full of bitterness, she felt sorry for Gu Xiu, she would rather Gu Xiu live a little more selfishly.

"I promise you." Zhong Qing's eyes were filled with tears, she looked at Yun Ling seriously, and promised: "I will be his light, and I will not leave him alone to face the darkness." ”

Yun Ling held Zhong Qing's hand and was very excited: "Thank you, thank you." ”

Not far away, Wei Lan looked in the direction of Yun Ling and Zhong Qing, and said to the people around her:

"Although Madame has slept for three years, she understands many things, such as the fact that what you have snatched by unscrupulous means does not belong to you."

Xu Zhiyan squinted her eyes, looked at the scene that stinged her eyes, and took a deep breath. Her noble status prevented her from screaming hysterically like a shrew, even though she was already furious in her heart.

"How do you know he doesn't belong to me?" Xu Zhiyan said: "Marriage is never a matter of two people, but a matter of two families, what I can bring to Gu Xiu, she Zhong Qing can't bring it in her life." ”

"What the second master wants, she never needs to be given by a woman." Wei Lan had a cold face: "If you rely on the three indiscriminate means to keep the second master by your side, I can only say that you don't know him at all." ”

Xu Zhiyan gritted her back molars, she glared at Wei Lan viciously, and turned to leave.
