Chapter 14: Long time no see
The moment she saw Gu Minghe, Shen Xue's whole person seemed to have been struck by lightning, and she was petrified and couldn't move her feet in place.
That was a long time ago, after her mother died, except for her grandfather, Gu Minghe was the only salvation in her childhood. Just when she thought that Gu Minghe could protect her for the rest of her life, this brother next door suddenly moved to country M with his parents, and now that she thinks about it, the two have not seen each other for more than ten years.
"Brother Minghe, why are you here?" Shen Xue was surprised and delighted, no matter what, she was grateful to Gu Minghe for taking care of him.
Gu Minghe has changed, Shen Xue's memory is very thin, he always has a pair of black-framed glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, and the corners of his mouth are always crooked and smiling, he is a friendly brother next door. Now his eyebrows and eyes are cold, his facial lines are very clean, after taking off his glasses, the bridge of his towering nose is exposed, and his almond eyes are bright and bright, and he looks very handsome.
Gu Minghe raised his eyes and glanced at the slim Shen Xue, she was no longer the little girl who would only hide in the corner of the door and cry after being beaten and scolded by her stepmother with two pigtails.
"I'll be your assistant." Gu Ming's eyes were very gentle when he looked at Shen Xue.
"Ming and brother don't joke, if you want to come, I can't afford to invite you." Shen Xue couldn't believe her ears, she chose to design this industry because of Gu Minghe, but now the other party said that she wanted to be her assistant?
"Mr. Shen, this is my resume, please check it." Gu Minghe put his resume in front of Shen Xue in a serious manner.
Shen Xue didn't look like he was joking, so he took his resume, and the two went to Shen Xue's office together.
At eight o'clock the next morning, the Shen family in the villa was having breakfast when the doorbell suddenly rang, and the maid hurried to open the door.
A handsome guy in a straight suit appeared at the door of Shen's house, the handsome guy was wearing white gloves in his hands, and he was holding a large bouquet of white roses in his hands.
"Excuse me, is this Miss Shen's house? I am the delivery person of Happy Home, and this is the flower that Mr. Gu ordered for Miss Shen. "The handsome guy's voice is very nice and attracts the attention of the family.
Mr. Gu? Which Mr. Gu? There is only one Miss Shen in this family.
"What does this Mr. Gu look like? Do you say anything other than sending flowers? Shen Yu took the flower and looked at it seriously.
"Mr. Gu is ordered online, I have never seen him, Miss Shen is troublesome to sign for it."
Shen Yu took a closer look at this large bouquet of white roses, except for a card that said, "Mo Shang flowers bloom, but they can return slowly." "There are no other clues about the flower giver.
Shen Yu has always had many suitors, but in addition to Bai Fei, Mr. Gu is the first one who can send flowers to the villa.
What's even more amazing is that the villa receives a bouquet of white roses every day, and this Mr. Gu has not shown up for half a month.
One day half a month later, Shen Yu received Mr. Gu's flowers as usual, but this time the card content was:
"Tomorrow evening, I came to pay a visit."
finally knew the true face of his Lushan, and Shen Yu was also very curious about who the other party was.
In the evening of the next day, Shen Yu dressed up carefully, no matter whether he knew each other or not, he always had to look forward to meeting his admirer, not to mention that from all indications, this man should be a romantic gentleman.
"Ding-dong." The doorbell rang as scheduled.
The moment Shen Yu opened the door, the whole person almost screamed!
"Brother Gu, why are you!" Shen Yu's shouts alarmed several other people in the Shen family's villa.
Shen Yu has admired this neighbor's brother since he was a child, but it's a pity that this Gu Minghe doesn't know why, he is always indifferent to her, but he prefers his sister.
"Minghe? Are you Minghe? How did you get back? Old Mrs. Shen looked at Gu Minghe, who was holding a large bouquet of white roses in her arms, and pushed the retro reading glasses on her face in disbelief.
"Grandma Shen, it's me, I'm Minghe, I've returned to China." Gu Minghe answered Old Lady Shen's question with a smile on his face.
After the Shen family beckoned Gu Minghe to sit down, they surrounded him and asked questions, it turned out that a year ago, Gu Minghe's parents died unexpectedly in country M, leaving him a large inheritance, he felt that it was really not interesting to be alone in a foreign country, so he returned to China to develop.
"Minghe, were you the one who sent flowers home every day some time ago?" Shen Tang asked with a gentle face, for Gu Ming and this child, their Shen family likes it very much. This child has had good academic performance since he was a child, and he is very sensible and polite, and most importantly, his family background is also quite good.
"It's me, Uncle Shen." Gu Minghe replied honestly, his gaze swept around the room, and he didn't see Shen Xue.
"Grandma, isn't Xiaoxue at home?" Of course, he didn't know that a few months ago, Shen Xue had already moved out of the Shen family.
Everyone looked embarrassed.
"Ahem... Xiaoxue is busy with the company during this time and does not live at home. Of course, Old Lady Shen didn't want Gu Minghe to know that the Shen family's house was restless, and it was she herself who drove her granddaughter out.
"Moved out? This... Then my flowers..."Gu Minghe was stunned when he heard Grandma Shen say this, wouldn't it be that Shen Xue didn't receive his flowers? The last time he met Shen Xue at Twilight Snow, the other party refused his request to join his company, so he re-found a job as a design director near Shen Xue's company.
Thinking about it carefully, he had only met Shen Xue once downstairs in the company in the past half a month, and the other party was not abnormal at the time, and he also felt very strange, why did Shen Xue not react when he received the flowers he sent.
"Brother Gu, thank you for the flowers, I like it very much!" When Shen Yu heard him mention flowers, she thought that Gu Minghe was confessing to her, and she immediately threw herself into Gu Minghe's arms.
Facing Shen Yu who suddenly pounced, Gu Minghe was caught off guard, and in order to avoid too much physical contact, he could only hold her slightly with his wrist.
"Light rain, uh... Actually, that flower..."
"Minghe, come and eat." Grandma Shen's words interrupted Gu Minghe's explanation.
During the whole meal, Gu Minghe was uneasy, he wanted to explain to Shen Yu quickly, but with so many people present, Shen Yu would definitely be embarrassed as a girl.
After eating, Gu Minghe got up to say goodbye, and Shen Yu took the initiative to send him. The two walked out of the Shen family's villa before and after, and the rest of the Shen family returned to the house.
Gu Minghe breathed a sigh of relief, and finally found a chance to explain.
"Xiaoyu, I just wanted to tell you that the white rose was given to Xiaoxue by me, I didn't know that she had moved out of the Shen family." Gu Minghe was very afraid of causing a misunderstanding to Shen Yu, and he was even more afraid that Shen Xue knew about the misunderstanding.
"What? Brother Gu, how is this possible? When Shen Yu heard Gu Minghe say this, it was really hard to accept. Gu Minghe has been treating Shen Xue better since he was a child, and now he even made such a big joke because of her.
"Yes, Xiaoyu, the white rose has always been your sister's favorite flower, you should know. And I'm coming back this time, too, for Xiaoxue. Gu Minghe didn't dare to look at her, he was really afraid of the girl crying, not to mention that this time, it was because he didn't investigate clearly in advance that an innocent girl was hurt, and he blamed himself.
"Don't you know? Sister, already married. When Shen Yu was sure that Gu Minghe had no intention of treating him, the hatred for Shen Xue in his heart became even heavier.
Gu Minghe was stunned, he thought about the situation he would face after returning to China ten thousand times, Shen Xue was already married, but he couldn't think of it and couldn't face it.
"Married? How can it be? Why didn't anyone tell me...", his voice trembling.
"Yes, Brother Gu, and her husband has been a door-to-door son-in-law in our house before, and the two of them were kicked out by their grandmother because they made a mistake." Shen Yu felt very happy when she saw Gu Minghe so sad, and finally, it was her turn to see that he was heartbroken.
After listening to Shen Yu's words, Gu Minghe stumbled back and almost fell. His steps were extremely heavy at this time, he always felt that Shen Xue liked him, otherwise it would be impossible for him to keep writing to him during college, and even chose the same major as him, didn't she go to study in country M for him in the end? Then why did she get married suddenly, and didn't all this have anything to do with him? He really didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Brother Gu, don't think about it, you have waited for your sister for so many years, but she got married as soon as she graduated from college, and she also found a man who is far inferior to you, I feel sorry for you." Shen Yu drooped his face, gently pulled Gu Minghe's sleeve with his hand, and his body shook slightly with the shaking of his arm.
As she spoke, she unintentionally raised her head, and her eyes with tears collided with Gu Minghe.
"Light rain... You...."Gu Minghe was moved by Shen Yu's aggrieved and affectionate eyes, he had always been interested in Shen Xue and me, how could Shen Yu treat him the same. Maybe it's because he knows the pain of this kind of love, and a sense of pity for the same people who have fallen from the end of the world arises spontaneously.
Shen Yu caught the compassion that flashed in Gu Minghe's eyes, and took the opportunity to immediately rush into Gu Minghe's arms, she wrapped her slender arms around her and exerted force on his waist.
"Brother Gu, I've always liked you, since I was a child, I've only loved you alone, and I've been waiting for you for so many years." Shen Yu's tone was irresistibly soft and aggrieved.
In between speaking, Shen Yu hugged her tighter, her chest was close to Gu Minghe's chest, and there was a faint fragrance of jasmine between her noses, coupled with the slightly choked gasp, which made Gu Minghe lose his mind for a while.
Shen Yu didn't lie, Gu Minghe was indeed the only man she had ever loved, her marriage with the Bai family was just the order of her parents, and it was indeed in Beicheng, no one was more suitable for her than Bai Fei.
But now that Gu Minghe is back, the person she loved when she was young has returned to her with an aura, and this time, she decided to be desperate.
"Xiaoyu, I have always regarded you as my own sister, you are still young, you don't understand." A gust of cold wind blew, and Gu Minghe suddenly sobered up a lot. He slowly broke free from Shen Yu's embrace, touched her head, and then left without looking back.
"Shen Xue, you are married, why do you still occupy Brother Gu's heart. Where am I inferior to you? Shen Yu looked at Gu Minghe's back, and tears couldn't help but flow.
The next day, Mu Ran and Shen Xue were chatting and playing in the office, and the secretary knocked on the office door.
"Shen Dong, a gentleman surnamed Gu is looking for you."
Surname Gu? Is it Gu Minghe?
Shen Xue went downstairs alone, and sure enough, in the lobby of the front desk, he saw Gu Minghe holding a large bouquet of white roses in front of him, but compared to the last time they met, he was much haggard.
"Brother Ming and Brother. You look for me. Shen Xue smiled and walked towards Gu Minghe.
"Xiaoxue, I went to Shen's house yesterday, I didn't know you had moved out." Gu Minghe took Shen Xue outside the lobby as he spoke.
"Yes, I don't have anything to do with the Shen family anymore." At the mention of the Shen family, Shen Xue's face became more and more ugly.
"It doesn't matter, Xiaoxue, Xiaoyu told me, you're married, aren't you?" The more Gu Minghe spoke, the quieter his voice became, even though he was already trying to restrain himself, he was still trembling slightly, he was really afraid of getting an affirmative answer.
"Yes, Ming and brother, I am married, and my husband and I are very affectionate." Shen Xue is different from Shen Yu, even if there is a lot of pain in parting, she will definitely not drag the mud and water.
As soon as she came down and saw a large bouquet of roses in Gu Minghe's arms, Shen Xue understood Gu Minghe's intention, since it was no longer possible, leaving room was just to make the two of them more sad, it was better to break it off with a knife in hand.
"Xiaoxue, why? Why would you marry a son-in-law? Is he worth it? I'm here for you. Gu Minghe's eyes dimmed, and he asked Shen Xue helplessly.
Shen Xue's face suddenly turned red when he asked, and she really didn't know how to answer him. She used to like Gu Minghe, but that was a long time ago, and now her marriage to Mu Ran is very happy, and she really doesn't want to make trouble.
"Mr. Gu, you have embarrassed my wife, please respect yourself." A familiar voice came from behind, and Shen Xue looked back and saw that Mu Ran had come down.
