Gu Xiu once thought that it was his own decision to like Zhong Qing, but he didn't expect that when he liked it to some extreme, when he saw Zhong Qing and Xu Ruo together, it would be so painful.

The raised fist wanted to knock on Zhong Qing's door several times, but in the end he couldn't help it, what Zhong Qing said just now seemed to be a thorn in Gu Xiu's heart, he hadn't felt this kind of sadness for a long time.

Sitting weakly on the ground, wearing an expensive suit full of wrinkles, Gu Xiu took out an empty cigarette case, remembering that the reason why he quit smoking in the first place was only because of Zhong Qing's frown when he smelled the smoke, and he began to get used to holding an unlit cigarette.

Gu Xiu couldn't remember how long he had quit smoking, he thought he had forgotten the smell of cigarettes, but today he smoked several cigarettes in a row, but he still couldn't calm himself down.

"I don't know about the engagement with Xu Zhiyan."

"It was Xu Zhiyan and Xu Jie and Gu Guosheng who calculated me, Gu Guosheng threatened my mother that if I don't come to power, my mother will be in danger."

"Zhong Qing, I don't like Xu Zhiyan, the person I love is you."

"But you chose Xu Ruo, didn't you?"

Gu Xiu's voice sounded slowly, but through the heavy door panel, Zhong Qing inside couldn't hear a word.

Zhong Qing, who was also sitting on the floor of the entrance and leaning against the door, was biting her lower lip to prevent herself from crying, and there was silence in the room, she didn't want her crying to break the peace.

Is it that as long as she doesn't admit that she likes Gu Xiu, things won't get any more complicated? Is it that as long as she hides her true heart, she will not be hurt by emotional things? Is it as long as you are estranged from Gu Xiu that you can get everything back on track?

But what exactly is "on track"? Zhong Qing had forgotten what life was like without Gu Xiu, she got used to his existence, and slowly turned her habit into like, she admitted that she was timid, and she didn't dare to bear the consequences of saying the word "like", and she couldn't believe that the feeling of "liking" would last so long for a lifetime.

Zhong Qing held her head, her chin rested on her knees, she didn't have time to take off her dress and high heels, she collapsed the moment she closed the door, Gu Xiu looked very hurt just now, if it was because of himself, he became like that, Zhong Qing would rather not know each other after being reborn.

If your heart doesn't move, it won't hurt, in the same way, if you don't care about someone in your heart, you won't have a weakness, Zhong Qing's vision gradually became blurred, she didn't know if this idea was correct, but as far as the current situation was concerned, she had no other choice.

It's the beginning of a new day, the night fades and dawn rises, and the gloomy sky is like Zhong Qing's gloomy mood, and there is no trace of sunshine.

Mu Cheng and Chi Rui came to work hand in hand, and as soon as they walked into the studio, they were frightened by the "gloomy" aura around Zhong Qing, the two of them looked at each other silently, and sat down in their positions to work without saying a word.

Gu Ziyu wanted to ask Zhong Qing about the situation several times, but stopped after seeing her in this state, after finishing the work in hand, Gu Ziyu poured Zhong Qing a cup of coffee, and just wanted to say a few words of comfort, the door of the studio was pushed open, and Xu Zhiyan walked in.

Thinking of what happened yesterday, Gu Ziyu frowned, she knew how much Gu Xiu liked Zhong Qing, and with Gu Xiu's character, she would never suddenly get engaged to Xu Zhiyan, although her father kept silent about this matter, Gu Ziyu could still guess what was going on.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Ziyu said: "We are working, Xu Zhiyan, you ......"

Xu Zhiyan said directly: "I'm here to find Zhong Qing." ”

Zhong Qing heard Xu Zhiyan's voice and didn't look up, until Xu Zhiyan walked in front of her, Zhong Qing had to look up at her.

"Is there something wrong with me?" Zhong Qing asked.

Xu Zhiyan raised his eyebrows: "Let's talk." ”

In the café outside the office building, Xu Zhiyan and Zhong Qing sat opposite each other, Xu Zhiyan ordered a cup of black coffee, and asked her for a cappuccino without asking Zhong Qing's opinion.

"Eat something sweet when you're in a bad mood." Xu Zhiyan leaned back on the sofa and said straight to the point: "You saw everything yesterday, right?" ”

Zhong Qing looked up at her, waiting for Xu Zhiyan to continue.

Xu Zhiyan looked at Zhong Qing, who was a lot haggard after only one night, and said directly: "Yesterday's incident, Gu Xiu didn't know, it was a bureau made by me, my father, and Uncle Gu, as for the reason, you already know, because I like Gu Xiu, I want to marry Gu Xiu." ”

"So, that's how you did it?" Xu Zhiyan in Zhong Qing's impression would never lower her self-esteem and do such a thing, it seems that she really likes Gu Xiu, and she likes it so much that she is willing to give up her principles for him.

"Call me selfish, call me mean, anyway, now the whole city of A knows the news that we are together." Xu Zhiyan said: "Zhong Qing, I'm here today to tell you, stay away from Gu Xiu. ”

Before Zhong Qing could speak, Cappuccino was brought to her, she glanced at it, but did not drink.

"So you're doing this just to watch out for me?"

Xu Zhiyan made no secret of it, and said, "Yes, because Gu Xiu likes you, I want you to die." ”

"Then why did you tell me that everything that happened yesterday was a bureau?" Zhong Qing said: "Let me think that Gu Xiu is willing to get engaged to you, isn't it better?" ”

Xu Zhiyan smiled: "Because you are very smart." Zhong Qing is very smart, she wouldn't be stupid enough to really believe that Gu Xiu would suddenly get engaged to her, but it was precisely because of Zhong Qing's intelligence that she thought of the reason why she did this.

"Now that Uncle Gu has asked Gu Xiu to marry me, our two families have decided to marry, Zhong Qing, if you get entangled with Gu Xiu again at this time, do you think about what impact will it have on Gu Xiu with your reputation in the circle?"

A woman who messed up her sister's engagement and wedding with her own hands, a woman who was paranoid and dominated the man her sister liked, a woman who was crazy enough to leave the family business and start her own business, a woman who had a lot of negative news since a long time ago, such a person, if he had an unclear relationship with Gu Xiu, it would be a fatal blow to Gu Xiu.

Why didn't Zhong Qing know this?

"You're coming to me for this?"

Xu Zhiyan sat up straight and looked at her: "Zhong Qing, we grew up together since childhood, there is only Gu Xiu's matter, I can't give in, even if you think I have become terrible and different from before, I will not regret my decision." ”

"Even if we don't cease to be friends in the future, I won't lose to you."

"What is won by calculation is never love." Zhong Qing took a deep breath and said coldly: "Or is it that what you want is just Gu Xiu's skin?" ”

Xu Zhiyan shook his back molars: "This is not your business. ”

"If I don't say it, if others don't say it, don't you know it in your heart? Xu Zhiyan, do you just want the name of 'Sister Gu'? You know that Gu Xiu dislikes such people the most. ”

Xu Zhiyan heard Zhong Qing say such words in a tone that knew Gu Xiu very well, and he couldn't control his temper and stood up.

"On what basis do you educate me? Zhong Qing! What I do has nothing to do with you! I'll tell you now, no matter what your relationship with Gu Xiu was in the past, but he is now my boyfriend, if you dare to pester him again, I'm not done with you! ”

The more excited Xu Zhiyan was, the calmer Zhong Qing became.

"So you came today because you know that Gu Xiu doesn't love you, and you have no choice but to start with me, right?"

Xu Zhiyan's hand clenched into a fist, and after a while, he sat down again.

"What conditions do you have?" Xu Zhiyan said: "Say it." ”

Zhong Qing shook his head, took out the cash and put it under the cup, got up and said, "Just like you said, Gu Xiu and I were not together before, and we will ...... in the future It won't be together, I don't need you to give me anything, Xu Zhiyan, but I also hope that you can't use other ways to make Gu Xiu willing to be with you and you. ”

"I went to visit his mom in the hospital and I tried to make a good impression on everyone around him, I was so good to him, didn't I do enough? Why is he the only one who can't see my good ......?"

Xu Zhiyan knew that he did something wrong yesterday, but it had happened and could not be taken back, what Gu Xiu said yesterday was still echoing in his ears, and Gu Xiu's appearance at that time was really terrifying.

"What can I do?" Xu Zhiyan lowered her head lonely, if she hadn't been forced by Gu Xiu's indifference, she wouldn't have done such a thing.

Zhong Qing glanced at Xu Zhiyan, who was dejected, and suddenly felt that she was a poor person, pushed open the door of the café, and the cold wind got into Zhong Qing's neck, she shivered, wrapped her coat tightly and ran back to the studio.

"Help me buy a ticket to the city." Zhong Qing patted Gu Ziyu on the shoulder and said to her: "I'm going to inspect those garment manufacturing factories and bring our design drawings over, you can't make mistakes here to prepare for clothing exhibitions and publicity, you know?" ”

Mu Cheng and Chi Rui were also confused, how could Zhong Qing, who came back after going out for a trip, suddenly be so anxious to go to the factory to inspect? The design style they just decided on a few days ago, the sketch was only completed yesterday, and now they should contact more partners, why is it suddenly ......

"Why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden? The factory said it would be ...... next week."

Zhong Qing smiled reluctantly: "No, I want to go now." ”

Gu Ziyu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "I know." ”

Zhong Qing felt that if he stayed here any longer, he would go crazy, Gu Xiu's name could not be erased in his mind, his appearance and his voice were so clear, Zhong Qing had to flee and find a place where he could not see him to calm down.

Even if it is to escape, Zhong Qing wants to take this opportunity to calm down and calm down, and at the same time handle work, he can also let himself think clearly about how to deal with the relationship with Gu Xiu.
