She began to retract the spikes from her body, and then calmed herself down.

"It's been a long time since our junior year of high school, right?"

Gu Jingrui was in a trance, as if she didn't expect her to suddenly ask about this.

"It's been years."

"I often think of a lot of things in the past, but now that I look at it, in fact, you and I have experienced a lot of inhuman pain over the years."

Because of her brother and Shaohua, she suffered different degrees of pain before and after. Although Gu Jingrui never took the initiative to mention it, she thought that with such a complicated relationship between the Gu family and his authoritarian father, he must have his own embarrassing times. ”

It was rare that Xia Lichen would take the initiative to mention this to her, and Gu Jingrui's eyes seemed to be a little moved.

"You're right, but you know what? I used to envy your life. ”

"Really? I said so, but a family like you would envy people like me. ”

This is what she said in her heart, after all, she still stubbornly believes that as long as she is rich and powerful, everything will be much better than ordinary people like her.

"Do you know how Gu Yan was born?"

Gu Jingrui just smiled sarcastically when he heard this, but it was not aimed at Xia Lichen.

"Him?"

"None of our three brothers have the same mother, so this should be the first time you've known about it, right?"

He thought about it, and told Xia Lichen all these unspeakable pasts.

But what he didn't know was that Gu Yanrui had told her about this before, but he didn't say anything in detail except for Gu Yan's matter.

"My eldest brother hates me because my mother took away everything that should have belonged to his mother, but my father ...... After all, he is not a person who is loyal to marriage, without my mother, and without Gu Yan's mother? ”

After learning such a truth, Xia Lichen looked at Gu Jingrui with a little disbelief, could it be that his mother and the head of the Gu family were not legally married?

"What about your mother?"

"It's gone."

He replied so calmly that he didn't even hesitate for a moment.

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's not something unsightly, you can ask."

Gu Jingrui took the cake in her hand and took a small bite in her stunned gaze.

"I remember when you two were in college, you two used to eat cake here, right? He will always be waiting for you in this position. ”

When he looked at the rain outside the window, he suddenly thought of something, and his heart couldn't stop churning and surging waves.

"How do you know that?"

In the past, Shaohua did often sit in this position, and every time he came, he always ate chocolate-flavored cakes, but how did Gu Jingrui, who had only been to the store a few times, know?

"Because many times...... I watched from a distance until you finished your part-time job and the two of you left hand in hand. ”

The shock in her heart kept amplifying in an instant, obviously she had known Gu Jingrui for so many years, but why didn't she suddenly feel that she knew each other for the first time until today?

"Why are you stalking me?"

She couldn't figure out why Gu Jingrui did this, was it because she hated herself in her heart, or because of Su Yarou? She began to dare not assume the most appropriate truth.

"Don't you understand? Because at that time, I began to want to see you often, but I knew that you hated me, so I could only look secretly every time, you may always say how much Chen Shaohua paid for you back then, I dare not say how much I paid for you, but my heart has always been there. ”

Tears welled up in his eyes in an instant, but it was not because Gu Jingrui suddenly told the truth to himself.

"Why...... Why is your love always so ridiculous, always so ridiculous! ”

She shouted with some emotion, fortunately there were not many students in the afternoon, but it still attracted the curious eyes of the store manager and clerk.

"Whether it's you or Chen Jiawen, I can forgive the damage caused to me in the most difficult year of my senior year, but I can't forget it in this life! And now...... One or two of you came over and said that you like me and said sorry to me, it's really ridiculous Gu Jingrui. ”

And the reason why she loves Chen Shaohua so much and is so persistent is also because at that time, even if she has gone to college, she still feels very scared because of the sequelae of high school.

Gu Jingrui was afraid that she would be excited, so he quickly got up and grabbed her shoulder.

"This is also my heart disease, every time I think of how bastard I was back then, I will blame myself, I will be heartbroken, Xia Lichen! But I really love you, if you want, I can take you somewhere else, whether it is at home or abroad, I only have you in this life. ”

The most painful thing for a person is to mistake love, just as he mistakenly thought that he liked another person.

But because it's fake, it often makes him feel that it's not real enough, and his heart is always empty.

"The only person who has redeemed me from beginning to end is him, which is also unforgettable in my life, if you really love me and really want to get my forgiveness, then let me go Gu Jingrui."

When she was young and ignorant, because of her appearance and personality, she had a brief heart for Gu Jingrui, but when she met Shaohua, everything was different, and only he was happy in the years of his life.

He began to hold her tightly in his arms uncontrollably, as if he was afraid that she would disappear from her arms in the next second.

"You listen to me, if you can be happy, of course I am willing to do anything, but you also know the current situation, the person you love the most doesn't remember who you are, so I want to guard you, even if you hate it more, it doesn't matter, I don't want to see you suffer any more harm!"

From the time he learned that Chen Shaohua was still alive, he always didn't sleep well at night, and he was often woken up by nightmares.

It's not that he is afraid that after the other party comes back, he will snatch Xia Lichen away from his life again, it is precisely that this uneasiness all comes from his treatment of Xia Lichen.

Just like the half year when his mother was about to die, he would often be like this now, so he was afraid that she would ......

knew that she couldn't be excited now, so in the end, she pushed Gu Jingrui's arms away and tried to restrain the uncontrollable tears in her eyes.

"I also hope you can be well, you really don't have to worry about my affairs, my memories of the past with him are still there, but he doesn't remember anymore, and he will recover one day."

She didn't want to be spiked like a hedgehog, and she knew that Gu Jingrui had no ill will towards her now, but she really couldn't respond to his liking for herself.

"Can we be ordinary friends after that? I know we've had that before, so I don't have any extravagant hopes, but I'd like to wait and see, and if he does remember to be with you again someday, I promise I'll be gone forever before your eyes. ”

He also let go of his hand, but his eyes were still looking at Xia Lichen very expectantly.

This time, Xia Lichen didn't refuse again, but nodded with tears, "Okay, then we'll be friends in the future." ”

She really has no intention of dealing with things other than lovers, so she can only try to deal with these things properly, as long as she makes sure that she will not be disturbed by these things in the future, she doesn't care about anything else.

On the way back, it was Xia Lichen who drove Gu Jingrui for a while, who would have thought that the president of the Gu family would come out without driving.

But in fact, Gu Jingrui didn't say that he came because the housekeeper at home drove him here, but he wanted to spend more time with Xia Lichen, so he didn't mention it.

When saying goodbye to him, it was also the first time, Xia Lichen said goodbye to Gu Jingrui with a smile.

The rain had already stopped at this time, and I came downstairs to the community, looking at the night sky with the bright moon above, with a smile on my lips.

Since Shaohua is going to the company dinner, she must also be going, so the next night, she also sent a message to Sister Yu Tong, reminding the other party that she doesn't need to prepare dinner for herself. She's going to eat at the company, and she'll be back a little late.

Because I went home early to clean up, I habitually heard a few whispers around when I first arrived at the company.

"I'll just say~ someone went home for so long to change her skirt for tonight's dinner!"

"Not really! Dressed up so fancy, I think I want to take this opportunity to seduce our chairman. ”

"Then let's wish her good luck, but wait for Miss Situ to come, as long as she is not afraid of being slapped by Miss Situ hahahahaha......"

The harsh mockery around him, Xia Lichen didn't care about it on the surface, but he still tightened his skirt behind his back.

Those people only know what they say about others, but why don't they all go home early and change their clothes? The time it took was not shorter than her, but she still couldn't get used to herself.

Thinking of this, Xia Lichen didn't care about these anymore, but straightened up and walked upstairs.

In fact, she didn't dress up very fancy today, she just wore it casually, and the skirt that Shaohua gave her before, and the ones on her neck and wrists were also given by him.

The purpose of her doing this is to see if Shaohua will remember their memories when she sees this?

The floor where the company opened a dinner party was very lively, not only people from the company, but also other companies, including Gu Yan, who I had only met a few days ago.

Because the business of the two families is more or less connected now, Gu Yan will naturally come.

"You're so beautiful today, Li Chen!"

When he saw that it was Xia Lichen coming over, he didn't care about the curious eyes of the people around him, and walked straight in her direction quickly.

"Gu Yan is not the Gu family here, it's not good for others to see our close behavior."

She subconsciously avoided Gu Yantou's embrace, although it is normal to meet and hug in the commercial field, but if she is seen by her group of colleagues, she will definitely be behind her back......

"What does it matter! You're too nervous, come and sit over there. ”

Then, Gu Yan directly took her hand and led her to the sofa in the corner.

"Are your eldest brother and your second brother here today?"
