Chapter 9 A Family of Three
At seven o'clock in the evening, the sun was still in full swing in Rome. Through the large wooden lattice window, the soft light of the setting sun sprinkled on the lower half of Gu Yanjue's face.
He leaned on the back of the sofa with one hand and smoked half a cigarette in the other, the buttons of his suit jacket unbuttoned and casually open, and his slender legs relaxed and folded.
Half-narrowed eyes, looking at the family members who had dispersed in a hurry.
Hearing the clatter of high heels, he withdrew his gaze to look in the direction of the sound, and a sneer twitched at the corner of his mouth.
After fighting with him, Huang Zhili probably also knows his strength, and it is unlikely that he will be hard.
It was Martina, the youngest daughter behind her, who didn't know the height of the sky, yelling at him.
"Cousin, if you don't want to inherit the right yourself, forget it, and destroy the entire Norse family, what else should I be in charge. Besides, 50% of the equity of Fuke Company can be donated if you donate, you are too arrogant! ”
Seeing the obvious displeasure on Gu Yanjue's face, Huang Zhili stopped his little daughter: "Martina, that's enough." ”
"Mommy, don't say he's my distant cousin. He slept with his sister, and he didn't give this kind of affection. ”
A loud slap came unexpectedly, and Martina was instantly dumbfounded.
It was the first time her mother had beaten her in as long as she could remember.
"You two have done a good job, I'll go back to you and settle the score. You can go back to my room now and reflect on it. Paul. ”
She's a favorite Martina, but this time she's gone too far. actually instigated Lin Shen to sell her body, she didn't expect that it was the two stupid daughters who did it themselves.
Paul only obeys Huang Zhili, as long as she gives orders, there is no such identity as a young lady in his eyes.
He dragged Martina, who was unwilling to cry, upstairs.
"How did you let my daughter go?" Huang Zhili clasped his arms in front of his chest, his charming and fierce eyes narrowing menacingly.
Gu Yanjue didn't say anything, and continued to smoke the remaining half of the cigarette, but the light-colored eagle eyes glanced at her from time to time, putting pressure on her.
Huang Zhili continued helplessly: "If you want the destruction of the North family to avenge Tia, I will not stop you. ”
Although her late husband was very kind to her, in front of Lin Shen, she would only give up the North family.
The fireworks in Gu Yanjue's hands flickered on and off, until they finally burned out, and as soon as he raised his hand, Chen Yu, who was on his side, picked up the ashtray and held it to his hand with both hands.
As soon as the hand was released, the cigarette butt fell off and flicked it lightly twice.
He got up and buttoned up his coat and walked out the door.
As he walked, he said, "Lady Zhili, if you don't stop it, the North family will be destroyed." As for your daughter Lin Shen, when I have enjoyed enough, I will naturally let her go. ”
"Gu Yanjue, you bastard." Hearing him treat his most valued daughter as a plaything, Huang Zhili lost all the cultivation she was proud of. Grab what you can throw and throw it at him.
Listening to the chaotic cursing behind him, the sound of objects hitting the ground, he raised his eyebrows and sighed.
Gu Yanjue is interested in Lin Shen.
He just wanted to see if Huang Zhili loved or hated her.
Out of the castle, he and his party went straight to the airport, but it was not Liancheng to go back to Lin Shen.
He had to go back to the Gu family's ancestral house first, and solve the problem of the loser's son Gu Yan in advance.
***
Lin Shen had been back in China for a week, and Gu Yanjue did not show up.
I was supposed to talk to him before leaving the place he had arranged, but without his phone, his people looked fierce every day and couldn't speak.
She was really in a hurry, and after leaving a note, people ran away.
She has no relatives and no reason in China, but fortunately, she has a close friend of Italian high school, Concubine Qi Jia, who decided to return to China to develop after two years of Italian university and dream of being an actress.
Lin Shen temporarily settled on her.
Before going out today, she deliberately put on a delicate makeup, a long white one-neck dress, which at first glance looks a little similar to her mother when she was young.
With a book called "The Feast" in her arms, she was somewhat nervous and waiting in line in front of a large and well-known bookstore chain to get up close and personal with the author and ask for an autograph.
As the team slowly moved to the author's giant poster at the entrance of the store, Lin Shen's eyes stayed on the face of this gentle middle-aged man.
The author's real name is Lin Qicheng, and his pen name is Zhiliren.
Knowing the courtesy, since you love your mother so much, why did you abandon the two of us?
Without giving her much time to prepare, the team quickly flowed.
When it was Lin Shen's turn, she stood in front of the signing table with a blank stumble, holding the book, and staring at Lin Qicheng who was bowing his head in a daze.
Soon, the middle-aged man raised his eyes with some doubts because he had not received the book signature.
The moment he saw the girl in the white dress, the doubt in his eyes turned to surprise.
Zhang Yue, the agent next to him, wanted to pull away the girl who was blocking the flow of the team, but was stopped by Lin Qicheng in time: "Don't worry." Girl, what's your name, I'll sign it for you. ”
Lin Qicheng's voice was low and gentle, just like she imagined in her dream.
She bit her red lip and held the two corners of the book in front of him.
"Lin Shen. One heart, one truth. She explained her name.
Lin Qicheng flipped through the cover and praised: "Good name." If I want to have a daughter, I'll give her that name as well. ”
He quickly wrote on the white page - Lin Shen read and stored. Then sign your name and date.
When handing the book back to her, Lin Qicheng landed on her shallow smile. It was as if more than 20 years had passed. There was once a girl in white who stood in front of him with his unpublished book and boldly confessed to him.
"I've read all your books, and I'm writing novels." Lin Shen was as bold as his mother in expressing his heart.
"Thank you for the like." Lin Qicheng replied to her politely.
Lin Shen didn't know how to continue to approach him, and when she hesitated, a childish voice pierced her fragile nerves.
"Daddy."
A boy of seven or eight years old jumped from the far end of the line and threw himself into Lin Qicheng's arms.
Lin Qicheng's originally formulaic smile instantly became gentle as water. Bending down against the boy's forehead, he whispered, "Why are you here?" ”
"He said that his father looked the most handsome at work, and he had to come and see it." A pretty-looking woman in her thirties followed the boy. When approaching Lin Qicheng, the hand was naturally on his shoulder.
"Dad, I want to become a great writer like you in the future." The boy proclaimed his dream with his head held high.
For a time, it attracted the applause of many readers present.
Lin Shen stood in front of their family of three, feeling that he was a joke.
Thousands of miles against his mother's wishes, he sold his body and returned to a strange country, in order to meet someone who had started his life anew.
What reason does she have to spoil someone else's happiness.
Holding back tears, his lips trembled slightly: "I wish you happiness." ”
After saying that, he turned around and ran.
Lin Qicheng looked at the back of the girl leaving in a panic, and his heart was empty for a moment.
At night, Lin Shen wandered the streets of a strange city, and he had completely lost the meaning of staying here.
On a moonless night, with the hustle and bustle of traffic, she crouched in front of the bus stop with a neon billboard. The tears that poured out could not fill the hollow of her heart's desire for family affection.
Until the streetlights began to dim and unclear, she was driven to the brink of collapse by the fear of darkness. You can only flee back to Concubine Qi Jia first.
Before the key is inserted into the keyhole, the door can be pushed open.
She wondered how Garfield was so careless that he wouldn't close the door when he entered the house.
