"Everyone who comes is a guest, and I have no intention of driving anyone away." Gu Xiu said: "Since Mr. Xu is willing to appear here, it must be for a charity auction for a while, right?" There are a lot of things that have been prepared for today's auction, and you will not be disappointed. ”

The reason why Xu Ruo appeared here was actually for Zhong Qing's mother's agate necklace, and he didn't tell Zhong Qing in advance that he wanted to surprise her, but he didn't expect Zhong Qing to also receive an invitation.

Feeling Gu Xiu's gaze fall on him, Zhong Qing's fingers held Xu Ruo's wheelchair, and his fingertips turned white.

In front of all the guests, Xu Ruo stretched out his hand to cover the back of Zhong Qing's hand, the latter's wrist stiffened, and he subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but Xu Ruo held her hand one step ahead of her.

Zhong Qing's stunned expression that he didn't have time to retract was seen by Gu Xiu, and he squinted his eyes, and a little coldness oozed from the bottom of his eyes.

"Since Mr. Gu said so, Xiaoqing and I might as well be respectful." Xu Ruo held Zhong Qing's hand and said calmly: "Since we are contributing to charity, how can we leave?" ”

Gu Xiu didn't say anything, turned around to greet the other guests, Xu Ruo's wheelchair turned to Zhong Qing's face, he let go of his hand, and looked at Zhong Qing with some embarrassed eyes, he said:

"Gu Xiu gave me a very bad feeling just now, so I was in a hurry...... I'm sorry. ”

Zhong Qing shook her head, and when she was about to speak, Xu Zhiyan walked to Xu Ruo's side.

"It just so happens that Zhong Qing is here today, so I won't accompany you." Xu Zhiyan's words were said to Xu Ruo, but a pair of eyes kept looking at Zhong Qing, and she said, "Miss Zhong won't refuse, right?" ”

Zhong Qing nodded: "I will take care of Xu Ruo." ”

Xu Zhiyan glared at her with a slight warning, and then turned his head to leave, it was no coincidence that Gu Xiu would appear here just now, whether his purpose was Xu Ruo or Zhong Qing No one knows, Xu Zhiyan knew that he was wishful thinking, three years ago or three years later, she didn't care what others thought of her or what she said about herself, she just loved Gu Xiu, and she loved it to the core.

Zhong Qing handed Xu Ruo a glass of champagne, and suddenly remembered what Gu Xiu had just said, her eyes fell on Xu Ruo's two legs, the suit pants he was wearing fit very well, and the muscles of the two legs were well-proportioned, just like Gu Xiu said, Xu Ruo's legs have not exercised for three years, but there is no sign of muscle atrophy, is this a good thing?

"If there really is a doctor who can cure me, how can I want to sit here for three years?" Seeing what Zhong Qing was thinking, Xu Ruo said, "Gu Xiu was just testing me just now, Xiaoqing, you know, how many doctors I have found in the past few years." ”

Zhong Qing came back to his senses, remembering that in the past few years, Xu Ruo and himself had gone to great lengths to find neuromuscular experts from all over the world to treat his legs, but the results were unsatisfactory, although it was undeniable that Gu Xiu's words just now gave her hope, but just like Xu Ruo said, Gu Xiu was probably just a temptation.

"Even if it's only one percent likely...... You should also try. Zhong Qing looked at Xu Ruo's legs, as if recalling the mistakes she had made, in the past three years, guilt and self-blame have tormented her heart, and no one hopes that Xu Ruo can stand up again than her.

Looking at Zhong Qing's shaking appearance, Xu Ruo frowned slightly, Gu Xiu's intuition was terrifying, he might not know anything, just by seeing his legs, he could infer that he had done rehabilitation in the past three years.

Before, in the Inge Hotel in country M, Xu Ruohui, accompanied by Fang Zuo, stood up in the early hours of the morning to move his muscles and bones, coupled with secret communication with the doctor, Xu Ruo's legs had recovered to a normal walking state.

It's just that he doesn't want others to know about this matter, and more importantly, he doesn't want Zhong Qing to know. Even if Zhong Qing has been by her side with a guilty heart, Xu Ruo also wants to selfishly use her guilt to be with her.

Zhou Qingyu and Zhou Han next to him saw this strange scene and looked at each other speechlessly. Zhou Han felt sorry for Zhong Qing, it was not her fault that Xu Ruo's leg became like this, but because she had to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of her life, Zhong Qing had to take responsibility, but this responsibility was likely to last a lifetime.

"Brother, is there really no way to cure Xu Ruo's leg?"

Zhou Qingyu sighed and said, "The best doctor in the world has no choice, unless a miracle happens." ”

The reception came to an end at around seven o'clock, and at a quarter past seven, the auction officially began. Zhong Qing pushed Xu Ruo's wheelchair into the arena, and Wei Lan personally received them and arranged them and the Zhou family brothers and sisters to the most important position in the first row.

Xu Ruo sat next to Zhong Qing, worried that it would be inconvenient for her to wear a skirt, so she took off her blazer and covered her knees.

Gu Xiu stood by the booth on the second floor, with a panoramic view of the auction scene, he saw Xu Ruo put his coat on Zhong Qing's knees, and he also saw Xu Ruo's feet, which moved slightly every time he turned around.

"Second master, do you suspect that Xu Ruo's leg is already healed?" Wei Lan stood beside Gu Xiu and asked, "But I checked his medical records, and his leg has been identified by the most authoritative doctor, and he is unconscious." ”

Gu Xiu didn't speak, his instinct told him that things weren't that simple.

Xu Ruo's legs were the only reason to restrain Zhong Qing, and he had used this reason to keep Zhong Qing by his side for the past three years, maybe he didn't force Zhong Qing at all, but Zhong Qing insisted on staying by his side.

"Help me make an appointment with Xu Ruo's attending doctor." Gu Xiu said: "I want to meet him in person to talk." ”

Wei Lan nodded, he followed Gu Xiu's line of sight and looked down, and there was a bidding for Zhong Qing's mother's agate jade necklace in the venue.

"Two hundred thousand!" Xu Ruo raised the sign, Zhong Qing didn't have time to stop it, Xu Ruo held her hand.

"I said I would buy it for you, so I think I'm going to fulfill my promise." Xu Ruo winked at Zhong Qing and said, "You won't even give me the opportunity to perform this, will you?" ”

Zhong Qing really didn't know what to say, so she had to say, "I'll give you the money back." ”

"In country M before, I liked the painting you took very much, so I paid for it this time." Xu Ruodao: "When I was a child, my aunt was very good to me, so not only for you, but also for my aunt, this necklace should not be left in Gu Xiu's hand." ”

Zhong Qing remembered the necklace that was placed in the glass box in the Tianqi Bar, what was Gu Xiu thinking about at that time? If that necklace was an excuse to lead him to the past, why did he go to country M to bring him back?

In Zhong Qing's daze, Gu Xiu had already walked to the stage, he took the host's microphone, and said slowly: "I paid 500,000 yuan to buy this necklace for Mr. Xu, which can be regarded as an apology for my impolite words just now." ”

Xu Ruo looked at Gu Xiu calmly, with a standard smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhong Qing didn't know what the situation was, only to see Gu Xiu pick up the box with the agate necklace, raise his hand and throw the box to Xu Ruo.

The distance between the two was only a hundred meters, and the moment Gu Xiu threw it down, Xu Ruo didn't have time to react, and almost subconsciously reached out to pick up the box that was thrown over, but at the same time as he moved, Gu Xiu keenly felt that there was a slight movement of his right foot.

Just when Gu Xiu wanted to see clearly, Fang Zuo, who came out of nowhere, blocked in front of Xu Ruo, reached out to catch the box, and blocked Xu Ruo's leg at the same time, the latter didn't realize that there was a problem with his foot, and Fang Zuo's appearance was tantamount to a reminder.

Xu Ruo's brain "boomed", and a chill ran in his heart, he didn't expect Gu Xiu's mind to be so meticulous, his heart and eyes were so dense that he couldn't even insert a needle, the seemingly exaggerated movements were just to test himself, the actions made by the conditioned reflex couldn't be controlled, maybe he had revealed a flaw just now.

Zhong Qing didn't know what was going on, even the other guests present were confused, Gu Xiu had never played cards according to common sense, but he didn't expect that he would disrupt the order of the auction and throw the necklace box directly to Xu Ruo.

Gu Xiu waved his hand, and a check with an amount of 500,000 was handed to the person in charge of the charity, who stood up and thanked him for his kindness, and everyone in the audience applauded to the rhythm for some reason.

"Mr. Gu is really generous!"

"Yes, yes, not only did I prepare for this charity gala in my busy schedule, but I also took the initiative to donate 500,000 yuan, which is really an example for us to learn."

Hypocritical flattery, deliberate flattery, and a smirk, Gu Xiu raised his eyebrows when he looked at the people in the audience who used to laugh at him and now wore a mask.

If they are fake, he will be even more fake, anyway, most of the world is hypocritical, there is no need to be too real.

Xu Ruo took the box handed by Fang Zuo, his smile became colder and colder, Gu Xiu seemed to be generous, but in fact, he stole his limelight in front of everyone, as if he Xu Ruo couldn't take out the 200,000 yuan and had to ask Gu Xiu to play the round.

But the more important question now is, what did Gu Xiu see in that short moment just now? Xu Ruo couldn't control his subconscious movements, if his leg had the action of getting up just now, he would definitely not escape Gu Xiu's eyes.

Even if he was unwilling, Xu Ruo still held up a perfect gentle smile, gave the necklace in the box to Zhong Qing, and owed a check for 500,000 yuan, and asked Fang Zuo to return it to Gu Xiu after the auction.

Zhong Qing held the agate jade necklace, her heart was full, as if her heart that had been wandering for a long time had finally found a belonging, and her uneasiness was healed at this time.

"Thank you."

Xu Ruo heard Zhong Qing's voice, and just wanted to turn his head and say "no thanks" to her, but suddenly found that Zhong Qing was looking at Gu Xiu's back when he stepped down, and her words of thanks were not said to herself.

Xu Ruo's eyes were clouded with ash, he knew that Zhong Qing's return to China was an adventure, but he didn't expect that Gu Xiu still occupied such an important position in Zhong Qing's heart. Is he still not qualified? What can be done to make Zhong Qing forget about Gu Xiu?
