Thinking about it, Zhilan hasn't shed a tear for ten years, it seems that all her tears have been consumed in the accident ten years ago, the most difficult and painful time in the past ten years, she has never cried, even if she worked in a hotel for four years in college, was slapped, ridiculed, and ridiculed, she gritted her teeth and survived.

But when she heard her aunt say that her father was sick, she couldn't help it anymore, she lay on the steering wheel and cried, she thought that everything was fine, her father was released from prison, and she also had the ability to make her father live a better life, didn't even Aunt Zhang say that a better life was coming?

It turns out that God is also a naughty child, it will play tricks on you anytime and anywhere, regardless of time or place, whether you have already experienced more suffering or not, as long as it wants to!

"Zhilan..."Aunt choked up: "Let's get an idea!" ”

Although her aunt didn't say what illness her father had, Zhilan knew that it must be a very serious illness, and if not, the prison would not let her apply for medical parole. Prisons also guarantee the human rights of every prisoner, so they will spare no effort to cure diseases that can be cured.

"Okay, I'll apply for medical parole as soon as possible so that Dad can come out for better treatment!" Zhilan looked at her aunt, tears still rolling in her eyes: "Auntie, why do you say my father's life is so bitter?" ”

"Child," the aunt turned her head to the side and said with a crying voice, "It's not your father's life, it's your life." ”

Aunt Mo Hua didn't dare to mention what happened ten years ago, when her brother was sentenced to prison, her sister-in-law ran away from home, leaving a niece who was only eighteen years old to face everything, she almost didn't survive, now looking back, she still has palpitations, if she hadn't arrived early that day, I'm afraid Zhilan would have been gone a long time ago... Later, she chose to go to school so far away from home, not because she wanted to forget all this, she thought that now she was bitter, but she was blessed and discouraged.

My aunt insisted on going back to the countryside, but Zhilan couldn't resist her, so she had to send her to the station, and her aunt told her that her father would notify her as soon as there was a result. The aunt and nephew gossiped again, and the aunt got into the car.

After sending her aunt away, Zhilan did not return to the company, she first returned to the prison to inquire about her father's specific situation, and then went directly to the best hospital in the city for consultation. The hospital promised that as long as Dad applied for medical parole, he would be hospitalized immediately.

Everything was in order, and Zhilan dragged her tired body to open the door of her house. Then he threw himself on the bed, remembering everything that had happened in the past ten years, and tears welled up again.

Crying and crying fell asleep, when Gao Minlang called, Zhilan was still sobbing in her sleep. Gao Minlang heard from the phone that Mo Zhilan didn't seem to be very happy, so he asked, "Are you too tired from work, how do you feel that you are tired?" ”

Zhilan shook her head: "It's okay." ”

"Otherwise, don't meet tonight, you have a good rest!"

Gao Minlang was also busy for a day, and he was also very decadent, he pinched the bridge of his nose to persuade Zhilan, in fact, he himself was so tired that he was paralyzed.

"It's okay!" Zhilan struggled to sit up: "I missed the appointment last time, I can't have a second time, otherwise you will never trust me again in the future, wait for me for a few minutes, I'll clean up." ”

"Stop driving, I'll pick you up!"

Zhilan thought for a while: "Okay! ”

In fact, Zhilan really didn't have the heart to go to Gao Minlang's appointment, but thinking that she was alone at home, she might have to think crankily, so it was better to go out and meet, even if it might be bad, but it was better to have someone to share than to fight alone.

Gao Minlang also packed his things and prepared to get off work. Junqiu said that he wanted to take a ride back together, but was ruthlessly rejected by Gao Minlang.

"You're going back to your own house in the future!" Gao Minlang warned him: "A man in his thirties, he always runs to my house every day, which will cause criticism!" ”

"You are a person, you are really forgetful, every time I go to your house, I worship you as an ancestor, serve you to eat and serve you to drink, you live a life of clothes to reach out for food and open your mouth, what's the matter, now that you have someone else, forget me? Still criticized? Excuse! Junqiu threw over a roll of his eyes: "White-eyed wolf, no conscience..."

Gao Minlang didn't have the leisure to fight with him, but he also compromised halfway: "I can send you back reluctantly, but I want to go back to your own home!" ”

Junqiu also compromised: "Okay, okay, for the sake of you now, I won't be strong." ”

Along the way, the two of them talked about the accident of this new product, although Gao Minlang was the general designer, but he was still relatively optimistic, but Junqiu had a sad face. Sending Junqiu home, Gao Minlang went directly to Miro Sunshine. After booking a place, I went to the Kirin Home to pick up Zhilan. When he arrived downstairs at half past seven, he sent a WeChat message to Zhilan, saying that he was already in place.

A few minutes later, Zhilan came down from upstairs, seeing her today's outfit, Gao Minlang swallowed unconsciously---- a pure white waist hollow long skirt extended to the knees, and the outside was a caramel-colored windbreaker, but the makeup on her face was a little thick, which was a little contrasting with the previous radiance without powder, but it was harmless, Gao Minlang still felt very good. He hurriedly got out of the car and opened the car door for Zhilan.

The two of them said very little along the way, and it didn't look like they were going out to eat together at all, but like the relationship between the driver and the passenger, and there was no common topic.

When he arrived at the place, Gao Minlang was a very gentleman, opened the door for Zhilan, took Zhilan into a seat, pulled out a chair for Zhilan, and the waiter brought two glasses of welcome water. Gao Minlang was not in a hurry to order, and first asked Zhilan's preferences.

"I'm also here for the first time and don't know what's good to eat here. What do you want to eat? ”

"Western food, not all of them are the same." Zhi Lanwan smiled: "I can do it." ”

Gao Minlang motioned to the waiter to order.

"Two sirloin steaks, one borscht, one Waldorf Astoria, and one bottle of wine!"

The waiter ordered, turned around and was about to leave, Gao Minlang said again: "Wait a minute..." He glanced at Mo Zhilan, as if he remembered something, and said to the waiter: "Add another West pastry, macaron!" ”

Mo Zhilan was stunned... I didn't think he remembered.

At that time, Zhilan was still a high school student, and occasionally heard a very rich classmate talk about macarons. Zhilan is very envious, she likes to eat desserts when she is a child, coupled with the vivid description of her classmates, she yearns for it, and once told Gao Minlang that when she has money in the future, she will eat macarons every day--- but for a person who later became the public relations director of a star-rated hotel, her dream of youth has long been completed, and she does not need anyone's icing on the cake. Now Gao Minlang can still remember, but she is somewhat surprised.

Although the two of them tacitly agreed, neither of them spoke.

At this time, she was so close, Gao Minlang realized that Mo Zhilan was a little haggard today, perhaps because of this, she deliberately put on heavy makeup to cover it up.

"The weather in the north is unpredictable, and it's a little cold today!" Gao Minlang said, pointing to Zhilan's clothes: "Will you wear a little less?" ”

Zhilan took a sip of water, and a smile appeared on her face: "It's not cold in the restaurant at all, it is estimated that the meal will be finished in a while, and the night wind is very strong!" However, you are not the driver to escort you. ”

Gao Minlang also smiled: "Yes, but I still don't want it, asking you out for dinner will make you sick!" ”

"It's okay, don't worry. I'm used to it! ”

After the dishes were served, Gao Minlang suddenly remembered that he was driving today, and he couldn't drink.

"Sorry, I forgot, I was driving today, and it looks like you'll have to take care of this bottle of red wine yourself."

"That's right!" Zhilan looked at the bottle of red wine and joked, "But you'd better not use this as an excuse to test my alcohol consumption!" ”

Gao Minlang hurriedly argued: "Of course not!" I did forget, in fact, it is okay to call a substitute driver, but I don't feel comfortable letting the substitute driver send you home! But don't be greedy. ”

"It doesn't make sense for me to drink it myself. Forget it, or pack it up! ”

"Western red wine is the standard, you can drink it, I still have a lot of red wine at home, if you don't mind, can you enjoy your face, I will take you there after eating..."

"Okay!" Zhilan happily agreed, and then tilted her head to look at Gao Minlang: "I just happened to learn how to taste with you!" ”

"I can't talk about tasting, I just like to collect!" Gao Minlang's face was calm, but in fact, his heart had already exploded with joy.

Although they have been talking, but this meal is still quite embarrassing, most of the time, it is Gao Minlang who has nothing to say, but he really wants to say a word, but he doesn't dare to say a word, and Zhilan only has to answer questions, sometimes even just perfunctory answers, most of the time he bows his head, gently cuts the beef with a knife, slowly puts it in his mouth, and chews it gently.

"You don't look very good today!" Gao Minlang asked, "Is it too tiring to work?" ”

Zhilan was stunned for a moment, and when she went out, she deliberately put on makeup, in order not to let Gao Minlang find out that she was tired, but looking at the way he had been talking and stopping before, it was estimated that he had already found out.

Anyway, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover it!

Zhilan put down her knife and fork, looked at Gao Minlang, and said with some sadness: "Today is the day of my father's visit, I went, but my father's condition is very bad, and now he has a very serious liver ascites, and the prison asked me to apply for medical parole..."

Gao Minlang's hand has been stiff on his steak, not knowing how to answer, finally, they have to face the events of ten years ago again, although they have met several times, and they have avoided talking about those things, but now even if it is a deep scar that cannot be healed, it can only be uncovered again, he thinks that maybe Zhilan will be very painful, and he will not feel good, but since Zhilan took the initiative to mention it, does that prove that this matter is not so painful in Zhilan's heart?

"Actually... In the year and a half since I returned to China, I have been to see Uncle Mo several times... I know he's not in good health! After speaking, Gao Minlang's head lowered deeply!
