Chapter Eighty-Six: Does Love Deceive?
said the same as Tang Lin, maybe in other words, this kind of thing is just to pull a passer-by to ask, and they will definitely think like this instinctively.
Love to the bones, how can it be so easy to forget? This also proves that Chen Shaohua knew that he had congenital heart disease and was close to Xia Lichen, just to be comfortable before he died, but he forgot all about his lover's mood.
So, isn't that selfish? Because he has a good relationship with Xia Lixin now, he has also asked him about the past before.
"But I don't blame him! I know that's not what he intended, all of you say he's a negative person, but I can feel his love for me, I really feel it. ”
Does love deceive? She occasionally couldn't help but think about this question during this time, but as long as her mind flashed back to the words that Shaohua had confessed to herself at the beginning, and what they experienced later, she couldn't have any doubts at all.
Gu Yan was silent and didn't know what to say, but he couldn't bear to correct her thoughts, for fear that if she was stimulated by anything, she would be the same as when she was in the hospital before.
Gently cupped her cheek with his hand, trying to make her feel his temperature.
"It won't be long, and when my father can no longer interfere in my affairs, I will be able to give you everything."
She wanted to say that she didn't need Gu Yan to give her anything at all, but before she could speak, the boy had already disappeared into the heavy rain outside with an umbrella.
The rain can wash away the garbage on the street, but it can't wash away the sorrow in Xia Lichen's heart.
The next day, she went to the company early, because the people in the company still had a lot of opinions about her, so she always went to her office first, trying to minimize unnecessary contact with other colleagues.
"Where did you go yesterday for your rest?"
Chen Jiawen looked at Xia Lichen's data report to him, but seemed to be more concerned about her other things besides work.
"It's raining so hard outside, where can I go? That is, I had a hot pot at home with my family. ”
She smiled and shook her head, although she had a break yesterday, she still finished the report she had to hand in today.
"You know what? Our company is going to have a dinner tomorrow night, and our partners from other companies will also come, so you should remember to change into beautiful clothes at that time. ”
Every big company is like this, from time to time they will hold a dinner party or something in the company, saying that it is to let everyone relax, but in fact, the purpose is to talk about business with the partner companies that come to strengthen the relationship between each other.
Not to mention that the Chen family has just improved again, so it is natural to make a wide range of contacts.
"I'm nothing to be happy about, it doesn't have anything to do with me anyway, does it? And I ...... last time."
Thinking of the time when she was messed up by herself, she still felt guilty in her heart, if the Gu family's people also came, it would be even more embarrassing if someone recognized her.
"But Shaohua will go! And his fiancée, although I don't want to mention such a mouthful, but I'm afraid you'll miss it. ”
guessed that Xia Lichen might want to ask for leave directly at night, so Chen Jiawen hurriedly said again.
Will Shaohua also go?
After getting such news, Xia Lichen's expression hesitated slightly.
And just as she walked out of the company with a blank expression, a glass of cold water was poured directly on her face.
"Oops! I'm really sorry Xia Lichen, I just came over to pour a glass of water, but I didn't expect you to come out suddenly. ”
It was a colleague who had a good relationship with her before, but she didn't remember the name very much.
Although the other party said sorry words in his mouth, the expression on his face was so proud, even if he didn't have to guess, Xia Lichen knew what she meant.
"Come on, I'll wipe it clean for you!"
A rag used to wipe the table rubbed directly on her clean clothes, Xia Lili quickly shook off the water stains on her face and hid.
"No need, you should be busy."
Although she knew that the other party was deliberate, she didn't want to conflict with anyone at such a time, let alone the other people next to her who would blatantly laugh at her.
Thinking of this, she quickly ran downstairs to the dressing room without looking back.
Because she didn't bring a change of clothes, she had to wipe the water-splashed areas on her body with a tissue.
knew that they were all very unkind to see themselves because of what happened before, but they never expected that the other party could be so bold.
Thinking about the time when she was in Gu's before, whether it was a branch or a head office, where did she suffer from this kind of anger?
"Count me out of luck today!"
Throwing the toilet paper into the trash can next to her, she took a deep breath, and felt an indescribable sense of exhaustion.
After going back, it was indispensable for those people to bow their heads and laugh, all of which were all regarded as invisible by Xia Lichen, but it seemed that the tire of her car was punctured the day before yesterday, it must have been done by this group of people, right?
But fortunately, when she got off work today, her car was not still intact and there was no sign of being touched.
I hope that their dissatisfaction with herself can be stopped, otherwise she really doesn't want to go to Chen Jiawen to talk about it.
The rain is still falling, and such a rainstorm weather will naturally remind people of their own mood, so Xia Lichen did not rush home but drove to the university.
But this time she didn't go to the cake shop, but went into the school with an umbrella, because it wasn't the weekend, so even though it was raining heavily, she could see three or two students going out from time to time.
She came to the café where she worked part-time at the university, and there was almost no change from before, the only difference was that there was a new manager here, and a few more things on the menu that she didn't know very well.
ordered a cup of sweetened coffee, and the small cake that Chen Shaohua had eaten when he first came to the store, sitting in the warm shop, enjoying the rain outside, it was really a unique flavor.
It's just that at this moment, she actually saw an unexpected person through the huge glass window in front of her, and he also came to the store with an umbrella.
And when he looked at him, both of them couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Just now, she thought that she had accidentally read it wrong, but Gu Jingrui was such a big living person, and he was sitting directly opposite her at this time, how could it be fake?
Because of Gu Jingrui's unusually handsome and tall appearance, it also attracted people in the café to look at him.
"Why are you here?"
"You can come, can't I? You know, I'm a regular at this café. ”
Gu Jingrui smiled subconsciously, as if he was not surprised that Xia Lichen would come here.
"No, I just think that a person with a special identity like Mr. Gu would actually come here to drink coffee."
She only remembered that when she was in college, Gu Jingrui would come over a few times occasionally, why did she become a frequent visitor here now?
"Thank you that night, I didn't have it, I was just drunk and you could still pick it up."
Xia Lichen naturally knew what he meant, and sighed helplessly.
That night, in order to send him to the hotel, he not only spent a lot of money to open a room for him, but was almost caught by Situ Feng's pervert halfway! Thanks to her cleverness, too.
"It's okay that Mr. Gu is fine, I just suddenly acted bravely, but I am not busy doing good deeds every day."
She didn't plan to tell him what happened that night, but she was surprised to meet him in such a place, and it seemed that the relationship between the two of them was really not small.
"I've been thinking about you all this time, how are you doing after you went to the new company? Why don't you reply to my messages? ”
He couldn't stand Xia Lichen like this.
"Gu Jingrui, in fact, I also have something to ask you, it stands to reason that the person you have always liked back then and now is not Su Yarou? Why is it suddenly me now? ”
She didn't want to mix too much undeserved things with him, but she was afraid that the other party would be like before, so she planned that since they were all like this, it would be better to ask for an understanding.
The clerk saw Gu Jingrui and Xia Lichen sitting together, and thought that the two of them were a couple, so they didn't go over to disturb.
"You don't need to know that."
It's still the same as back then, whatever he wants to ask, he will always be so inappropriate, Xia Lichen could have gotten up and left directly, but he didn't choose to do so.
After the cake and coffee were served, she took a sip of warm coffee, which actually added a lot of sugar and had a different flavor.
"Then you shouldn't say you like me, don't message me anymore, I have my own life."
How can there be a reason why you like it? Just like Chen Jiawen.
He was seen by Su Yarou who was passing by because he was fighting with someone in high school, so he liked it when he handed him a handkerchief, but what about Gu Jingrui himself?
It can't be because of the previous relationship, right? She remembers that they weren't very close in the company.
Her hand was suddenly wrapped tightly, and when she looked up at him again, it seemed that it was the first time that she would see such a gentle emotion in Gu Jingrui's eyes.
"I just don't want to lose you, your boyfriend him...... It is impossible to get better anymore, he will marry the only daughter of the Situ family and become a loving couple, and you can't change anything. ”
After learning the news of Xia Lichen's resignation from the Gu family, he already knew what she wanted to do.
She withdrew her hand without moving, she was really unaccustomed to Gu Jingrui's rare concern.
"I've made up my mind, no one can change it, and you don't even want to tell me when you started liking me, and you still want to mind my business?"
Gu Jingrui was a little speechless when asked, in fact, it wasn't that he didn't want to answer, but that he didn't even know where to start with this kind of thing......
"I know it's abrupt, but I hope you can believe that I mean it to you, even if I regret a lot of things in my life, but the only thing I regret the most is that I didn't be able to be kind to you before he met you."
It was also the first time that she saw the unconcealed remorse on Gu Jingrui's face, which also made Xia Lichen suddenly realize that so many years had passed since they were young.
