089 He and she are family
I glanced at her contemptuously, "Gu Minyi, if I were you, I would try my best to lose decently." β
She seemed to have been hit in the sore spot, glared at me angrily, and threatened to eat me in one bite...... But instead of being annoyed, she sneered, "Lu Yuncan, do you think you are very 'decent' now?" He took everything away from you, you are cowardly and incompetent and unable to resist, in order to keep your previous luxury standard of living, you are willing to give up your self-esteem and surrender to him, for the sake of money, you don't want any backbone and face, I really feel sorry for you!! β
"Do you know what people in the company say about you in private?" Gu Minyi finally found a point to laugh at me, and said even harder, "Everyone says that you Lu Yuncan are stupid and cheap, because a man has lost his company, lost his money, lost his dignity, and lost his dignity, and he has turned himself into a brain-dead with a negative IQ, and he still feels that he is living in so-called happiness and showing off everywhere, heh, Lu Yuncan, you tell me, which of the two of us is more pitiful?" β
...... "I was really choked this time, and I believed, my face turned pale.
I have to say that she also poked at my pain point, and the humiliation of being self-ashamed was like thousands of ants crawling up my heart, and I looked sideways away.
"You probably don't know, the reason why he is so casual with me is because he and I are really indistinguishable from each other," Gu Minyi hugged Jiang Feng's arm and provoked me while the iron was hot, "In the past 20 years, we have not been separated for a day, we have long regarded each other as a part of life, familiar to the point that we are like husband and wife, we can tease each other, quarrel with each other, despise each other, and even more can be attached to each other and support each otherββ"
"It's endless," Jiang Feng interrupted her in a rough voice, and shook off her hand without pity, "Gu Minyi, if you dare to go crazy, you will never appear in front of me in the future, get out!" β
Gu Minyi was not angered by Jiang Feng, she changed her sad and bitter face at the beginning, straightened up to stabilize her aura, and continued to sneer, "Feng, after all, we have been together for so many years, and I know you best...... You naturally have your reasons for doing this, so I respect your decision and try not to embarrass you in the future. β
Jiang Feng ignored her anymore, grabbed my hand and left.
Gu Minyi didn't catch up, but I still felt a little like I was on my back when she watched me go.
"......" Let Jiang Feng squeeze his hand, I followed his steps in the direction he walked, and did not speak the whole time, and he squeezed my hand tighter and tighter, so tight that the joints hurt.
"Is it affected by your mood?" On the way back to the car, he asked me.
I shook my head, "Didn't think too much about it. β
"She used to be a normal woman, but I don't know what's wrong with me lately, but I know that I have nerves, and I'm annoyed to look at it." He muttered as he drove.
What he said was careless...... And I, on the other hand, heard a certain intimacy and tacit understanding between him and her from his casual heart. Maybe it's like Gu Minyi said, because they are already familiar with each other and intimate to a certain extent, so he no longer has to scruple about his attitude in front of her. On the contrary, for me, it is full of routines.
Therefore, he and her, in the final analysis, are still a 'family' in the same boat, there is no real hatred and disgust between them, and they will still think about each other when it comes to each other's fundamental interests, for example, when I asked him to send Gu Minyi to prison, he expressed his refusal...... Gu Minyi has always been his only warmth in that cold childhood, he doesn't trust anyone, but he only trusts this woman who has admired, cherished, and been infatuated with him for nearly 20 years, this woman, he can bully and scold casually, but he may not allow others to bully.
Yes, between him and her, it's such a profound 'childhood sweetheart'. It really doesn't matter if they have ever slept or not, it really doesn't matter if they have children, important things, Gu Minyi has 20 years of weight in his heart, and this weight is not something that others can replace casually, not even me.
Referring to these, I have a sense of loneliness from head to toe~

On the weekend, Jiang Feng went on a business trip to other cities, and I rarely had time to be alone.
At home, I overheard Sister Tao saying that April 18 of the lunar calendar the day after tomorrow is her mother's birthday, who is 80 years old, and asked me for leave to go back to my hometown. When I heard the day, I suddenly reacted, "The day after tomorrow is April 18, how much is it today?" β
"It's April 16 today!" Sister Tao said with a smile.
"April 16!" I was shocked, it was April 15 yesterday, Zhou Kaicheng's birthday...... It's already over!
I clicked on the calendar again to confirm, and sure enough, yesterday was April 15th. I felt guilty and blamed myself for a while, I felt so sorry for him, he remembered the birthday that I 'founded' every year, and sent a blessing on time at 00:00 on the same day; And I will also remember his birthday, and send him happy birthday and something like that on time, and I will pick a gift for him a few days in advance, and even when he is abroad, the gift will be sent to him.
Although this idea is simple, it has made me take it very seriously and repeat it for four or five years. And this year, his birthday has passed, but I have forgotten it all, there are no gifts, no text messages and phone calls of blessings... I can't imagine how disappointed he will be!
I didn't think about the 'incident' between me and him during this time, so I picked up my phone and called him.
For the first time in his life, his phone rang more than 5 times and did not answer......
Maybe really angry, right?
The phone rang a dozen times and I was about to hang up when his deep, mellow voice said, "Hey? Yuncan. β
"Hmm." It's a bit of a lost and regained.
"I'm sorry, I was so busy yesterday that I forgot your birthday."
......" He didn't immediately respond, 'It's okay,' as I expected, but instead fell into silence that was enough to make me flustered, and then he spoke softly, "Forget it, forget it, understand." Just like me, I don't usually waste my energy by remembering the birthdays of people who don't matter. β
This ironic rebuke made my psychological burden even heavier. I know that although Zhou Kaicheng doesn't say anything, he really cares about this 'little' thing...... I'm afraid of forgetting every year, and when it comes to the fourth month of the lunar calendar, I put a note in my eyes, let Sister Tao remind me, let He Yi remind me, so I haven't missed it every year.
At this point, I had to lower my posture and apologize to him again, "I'm sorry, I'll make up for the gift." β
"No," he chuckled, "the birthday has passed, so I don't have to go through those forms, I don't lack anything anyway." I know you've had a lot going on this year, and there's so much to think about and think about that you don't have to spend your time with me. β
I was blocked by his words, holding my phone, and letting time fly away second by second, but I couldn't hang up, I couldn't justify, and I didn't want to write nice lies to comfort him. I just pinched my phone in a daze, and my palms were sweaty.
"Yuncan, are you okay?" He asked suddenly, warm.
I took a deep breath, "Not too good. β
"Is it, that man is not good to you?"
"I don't know," I shook my head unconsciously, and asked him instead, "how are you?" β
He sighed softly, "At least yesterday was bad...... I looked at my phone for a day, lost my soul for a day, it was the most uncomfortable birthday in more than 40 years, and I kept wondering, how much do you hate me? Will you ignore me again? Am I going to lose you like that......"
"Let's meet, I'll treat you to dinner, count as compensation." I offered it.
"Really?"
"Hmm."
A few hours later, I met up with Zhou Kaicheng at a Western restaurant that I used to frequent. I haven't seen him for a long time, and there is a little restraint between him, he is still the same as before, there is a distance and does not seem alienated, gentle and elegant, calm and restrained, free to talk to me, as if we are still the same as before, as if, nothing has happened...... I don't dwell on the truth he has hidden from me, and he is not in a hurry to interrogate the rights and wrongs between me, Jiang Feng, and He Yu.
Just when he was about to serve the food, Zhou Kaicheng's mobile phone rang, he took it out and looked at it, picked it up directly in front of me, and when he talked to the other party, his voice was doting and gentle, and after a few words, "Okay, you can come over now." β
Although I didn't ask, I could already guess eight or nine points from the look and tone of his face when he just answered the phone.
Five minutes later, a beautiful young girl walked towards our table from a distance, and shouted in a coquettish tone a few meters away, "Husband! β
Zhou Kaicheng still smiled at her gently, and when she came over, he introduced me as soon as possible, "This is my girlfriend Xiaolan." After speaking, he introduced me to Xiaolan again, "This is my partner at work, Mr. Lu." β
When I heard the word 'girlfriend', I was inevitably a little disappointed, and I never imagined that he already had a girlfriend......
"Oh," Xiaolan deliberately looked at me and smiled politely, "Mr. Lu is good." β
Xiaolan in front of her, looking tender and watery, her face is full of collagen, her skin is white and beautiful, she is estimated to be in her early twenties, although her eyes are beautiful, her eyes are full of confusion and babbling, and she looks empty. It is undeniable that she is young and beautiful, but she belongs to the kind of beautiful soulless and unrecognizable.
In short, looking left and right, such a girl who is nearly 20 years younger than Zhou Kaicheng should not be his dish.
"Husband, I don't like the Hermes you bought me last week, I feel too old-fashioned, and people say that it doesn't match my temperament, why don't you change it to Gucci for me," Xiaolan hugged Zhou Kaicheng's hand as if no one was around, shaking his arm coquettishly.
"Okay." Zhou nodded and asked her, "What kind of food do you want to eat, order it yourself." β
"No, I want your husband to order it for me, as long as you order it, I like to eat it,"
Zhou Kaicheng hooked his lips and smiled, and nodded, "Okay." β
"By the way, didn't you say you were going to surprise me when you came back from a business trip? Let me see, did you buy a gift that I liked? Xiaolan said, rummaging through the pockets of his clothes, and sure enough, he turned out a delicate small box.
When I opened it, I saw a bright diamond necklace inside. Xiao Lanwa screamed, "Ah! It's Harry Winston! Husband, you know me too well, you actually know that I love this brand of necklace the most......" After speaking, I hugged him and kissed him exaggeratedly, which made me very embarrassed.
And Zhou Kaicheng seems to really love his little girlfriend, his eyes are full of doting on her, patiently listening to her complaints, taking care of her at the dinner table, and occasionally condolences to me, almost completely immersed in the little romance with this little girl.
Halfway through, Xiaolan went out to the bathroom, and I barely managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "Congratulations, you have finally found your true love." But what I'm curious about is, why did you choose her? β
