At the same time, in the Inge Hotel in country M, all the management people gathered in the conference room, at one o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Ruo pushed his wheelchair in, Zhong Qing as an assistant followed him, as soon as the two appeared, the people in the conference room stood up and bowed.

"You may be seated." Xu Ruo smiled very gently, Zhong Qing sent the information that had been prepared a long time ago to the people present, only to hear Xu Ruo speak: "I invite you to come today, I want to inform you that there is a distinguished guest in the hotel recently, Mr. Alexander, an internationally renowned designer." ”

Hearing this name, Zhong Qing was a little surprised, before Xu Ruo officially announced the identity of the guest, all she knew was that the identity of the guest was very special, but she didn't expect it to be such a famous designer.

I think Zhong Qing loved design so much back then, and even opened a studio to create her own brand, but she didn't expect that something like that would happen later, so she had to let go of what she once loved the most and start anew.

Zhong Qing stood behind Xu Ruo, she couldn't hear what the people in the conference room were discussing, and the name Alexander plucked the deepest string in her heart, reminding her of the past.

The lingering figure in his memory was like a poison, invading Zhong Qing's limbs and bones, every word and expression he said was so clear, Zhong Qing didn't forget it, and she didn't want to forget it.

Even if he knew that there was no possibility of seeing him in this life, Zhong Qing didn't want to forget the memories of Gu Xiu, whether it was bitter or sweet, it was all proof of love.

“…… Zhong Qing? Zhong Qing? Xu Ruo called twice, and Zhong Qing heard his voice.

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Ruo saw that Zhong Qing's face was wrong, and asked with concern, "Is it because you are not feeling well?" ”

"It's fine." Zhong Qing smiled and changed the subject: "Sorry for being a little distracted just now, do you need me to do anything?" ”

Xu Ruo handed her the information on the auction in his hand, Zhong Qing turned a few pages, and a necklace with a simple design suddenly came into her eyes.

"I remember it was your mother's favorite necklace back then." Xu Ruodao: "Later, after she died, she donated all her jewelry to charity, and you have been looking for this necklace for a long time, right?" ”

Zhong Qing rubbed the necklace lines on the paper, and her thoughts slowly drifted back to a long time ago - her mother wore this necklace when she was alive, sitting in the garden and watching herself dance, at that time she already knew that her father had another woman outside, but she still endured it and did not say anything, trying her best to do her duty as a wife and mother.

Thinking of her mother's appearance back then, Zhong Qing's heart was sour.

"Buy it back." Xu Ruodao: "The auction will be held in this city the day after tomorrow, I will give you a day off, if the money in your hand is not enough, I will auction it back for you." ”

Zhong Qing held the brochure and looked at Xu Ruo gratefully: "Thank you, Xu Ruo." ”

Xu Ruo's smile was warmer than the sun outside at the moment, and he felt that it was particularly worth it to see Zhong Qing relaxed. Since Zhong Qing stayed here as Xu Ruo's assistant three years ago, Zhong Qing has not smiled so happily for a long time, Xu Ruo has tried many methods, but he can't get into Zhong Qing's heart, the two of them guard the boundary of "friends" and never take a step forward.

Xu Ruo knew that Zhong Qing still didn't let go of Gu Xiu in her heart, back then, because of her own accident, she broke up with Gu Xiu to take care of herself, these few years have passed, and she obviously has a lot of opportunities to let Zhong Qing go, but for some reason, the words came to her mouth and swallowed it back raw. In the final analysis, Xu Ruo is a selfish person, he selfishly keeps Zhong Qing by his side, even if her heart does not belong to him.

Xu Ruo was willing to wait, he was willing to wait until Zhong Qing completely forgot about Gu Xiu, even if this wait was very long and indefinite, he was willing.

"Boss, in order to make Miss Zhong happy, you really took great pains." Fang Zuo pushed Xu Ruo's bodyguard, and the two of them walked out of the conference room.

Although it was Zhong Qing who took care of Xu Ruo most of the time, after all, the two of them had embarrassing gender identities, and Zhong Qing had to worry about things in the hotel, so Xu Ruo hired Fang Zuo to follow him twenty-four hours a day, and after a long time, Fang Zuo had to admire Xu Ruo's intentions towards Zhong Qing.

"As long as she's happy." Xu Ruo looked at the back of Zhong Qing leaving, and explained: "The day after tomorrow, you go with her, the situation is unstable now, protect her from accidents." ”

"Yes!"

"Did you find someone?"

In the Tianqi bar, Gu Xiu stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of the lounge on the second floor, looking at the men and women dancing downstairs, the ambiguous light hit his face through the glass, and his emotions were like a pool of stagnant water.

Three years have passed, many things seem to have changed, and it seems that they have not changed, now Gu Xiu stands above the crowd, whether it is Y-ing Group or Tianqi Bar, he has become an existence that everyone looks up to, but every night for Gu Xiu, it is back to the days when he had to listen to the music downstairs to fall asleep.

The apartment opposite Zhong Qing had never been back since Zhong Qing left, and Wei Lan didn't dare to mention it again, so he could only secretly send someone to clean it up every once in a while.

Gu Xiu's "home" is back in the Tianqi Bar, it is still the same furnishings or the same bed, he is still used to carrying a dagger with him, even if no one can get close to him without his consent now.

"Not yet." Wei Lan said: "But...... The people we sent found out about it. ”

Gu Xiu took the information handed over by Wei Lan, which was an auction information.

"This agate necklace used to be Miss Zhong's mother's favorite jewelry, and then Miss Zhong's mother passed away and donated all her personal belongings to charity, and I heard that Miss Zhong participated in various charity auctions for a whole month in order to find this necklace."

The goblet was placed next to it, Gu Xiu's eyes showed a different light, he casually flipped through the introduction of the necklace, and on the back page, there was a photo of Zhong Qing's mother.

Maybe...... She will show up for this necklace.

"Time, place."

"Nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, M Country Rice Hotel."

Gu Xiu closed the folder and picked up the red wine glass on the table instead, Wei Lan stood next to him, canceled all the trips the day after tomorrow, and dispatched a private jet in advance to apply for a departure on the same day.

After doing these things, Wei Lan raised his head and asked uncertainly:

"Second master, if you really see Miss Zhong...... What will you do? ”

This question, Gu Xiu had also asked himself many times, if Zhong Qing appeared in front of him again, what would he say and do? He had imagined even what expressions and movements he had, but after thinking about it, there was only one result in the end - she would not appear.

Gu Xiu's silence seemed to Wei Lan to be some kind of uncertainty, as witnessing a series of madness, despair, and rebirth that Gu Xiu showed after Zhong Qing left and Yun Ling died, Wei Lan didn't dare to think about the scene of Zhong Qing and Gu Xiu meeting again.

Wei Lan turned around and left the lounge, Gu Xiu was the only one left in the huge room, the lively scene he saw outside the floor-to-ceiling window was automatically silenced in Gu Xiu's eyes for some reason, he seemed to be unable to hear all the sounds in the world, looking at everyone downstairs with excited expressions written on their faces, but he was not infected.

Remembering that night, Zhong Qing was drinking in a bar and was taken upstairs, she grabbed her clothes so defenselessly, muttered drunk words in her mouth, and woke up the next day and vomited in her most precious vase.

Zhong Qing, Zhong Qing, Zhong Qing...... His mind was full of Zhong Qing, all the memories were Zhong Qing, Gu Xiu raised his head and drank a whole glass of wine, he wanted to get himself a little drunker, because when he was drunk enough, he could see Zhong Qing's shadow again from the illusion that it was true and false.

He wasn't drunk, he was really crazy, since the day Zhong Qing left three years ago, Gu Xiu had completely lost his mind, his madness was voluntary, and there was no way to cure it.

Gu Xiu, who knew this, still stubbornly found Zhong Qing, because he wanted to know if this woman who had entangled his memory for three years was his antidote, or ...... A deeper poison.

Three days later.

"Mr. Wei, the second master said he wouldn't go." In the tarmac, Wei Lan, who had been waiting for more than half an hour, got such a reply, he took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Gu Xiu to ask, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

"Mr. Wei, do you still want to go? Or my side......"

Wei Lan waved his hand: "I'll go by myself, you take care of the second master today and tomorrow, remember not to let him drink more, you know?" ”

"Yes!"

Wei Lan got on the plane alone, and he didn't know why he made this decision, as if there was something guiding him in the dark.

Maybe Gu Xiu didn't want to go because the probability of seeing Zhong Qing at this auction was too low, or maybe he didn't want to see Zhong Qing again? Wei Lan quickly ruled out the second possibility, he sat in the plane, turned on the computer to check the information of the guests at the auction, and suddenly saw a familiar name at the bottom - Inge Hotel, Mrs. Xu.

On the other side, in the Inge Hotel, Zhong Qing, who got up early in the morning, was just about to go out, when he saw Fang Zuo blocking in front of him, and Zhong Qing, who was about to speak, didn't have time to speak, Xu Ruo's voice sounded behind him.

"Let him go with you." Xu Ruodao: "The privacy of the auction is not very good, Fang Zuo can protect you by the side." ”

Zhong Qing shrugged helplessly and said, "Please, I'm not a celebrity model, what reporter would be bored enough to take a photo of me?" ”

"Maybe?" Xu Ruo pointed to the invitation card in Zhong Qing's hand and said, "I don't think you mind if I lied a little bit in order to get you a place in the auction, right?" ”

Zhong Qing raised her eyebrows, she opened the invitation, and Mrs. Xu, who was written in English, made her quite helpless.

"They said that only relatives of the invitees could participate." Xu Ruo shrugged his shoulders like Zhong Qing and said, "No way, I can't say that Fang Zuo is my half-brother, right?" I can only wronged you. ”
