"That means ......"

It seemed that Gu Jingrui knew about this bracelet, but at the same time, when he saw the surprise on his face, Xia Lichen was also a little stunned.

"It was brought back from abroad by my father when I was five years old and gave it to my mother, but after my mother died, I never saw the bracelet again."

Gu Jingrui's eyes were sad, as if it was not a happy memory for him.

"You were so young, and you have such a good memory, right?"

Xia Lichen let out an exclamation, not to mention the memory of being five years old, even when she was seven years old, she couldn't remember it.

"Because that's when I'm happiest."

Suddenly thought of Sister-in-law Liu saying that Gu Jingrui's mother was absent when he was six years old, so his sadness at the moment must be because of his mother, right?

"I'm sorry to make you sad about this, but I guess your father still has your mother's things, and he must love her very much, right?"

She didn't know how to comfort Gu Jingrui, so she had to try to ask.

But Gu Jingrui just smiled coldly after hearing this.

"Love? Someone like him, if he really loved my mother in the end, he wouldn't have Gu Yan. ”

He clenched the bracelet in his hand, and the hatred in his heart seemed to be even stronger.

A long time ago, when Gu Yanrui mentioned that man, he also had this look now, it seems that the Gu family's home was really not a fuel-efficient lamp when he was young.

"Then now you can help your mother take good care of her favorite jewelry."

She gently put her hand on Gu Jingrui's hand, and said with a hint of comfort in her voice.

But then, he put the crystal bracelet directly on Xia Lichen's hand.

"No, it's yours now."

probably didn't expect Gu Jingrui to be so sudden, and before she could say no, the other party hugged her tightly in his arms again.

"I'm definitely not going to be like him...... He didn't deserve to worry about his mother anymore. ”

There is no need to guess, there must have been something complicated between the head of the Gu family and his mother, and this is also a past that Gu Jingrui will never forget no matter what.

In the end, she didn't say anything more, but took the initiative to drive and take the other party to the cake shop.

Because it was still early, and this time Xia Lichen didn't choose to go very late, and this time he still brought Gu Jingrui with him.

"If you want to have cake, we can go to the hotel in the city center."

"No, I think the owner here bakes it himself, doesn't he?"

The owner of the cake shop saw that Xia Lichen was still bringing someone this time, so he didn't take the initiative to talk to her, but smiled and brought her the cakes she usually likes to eat.

It is precisely because of the appearance of the two that some students in the store can't help but poke their heads over, it is really Gu Jingrui's figure and appearance, especially wearing a suit, like a movie star.

"If I'm not mistaken, you and Chen Shaohua often came here back then?"

Although it was still the same one, Xia Lichen's part-time café was more impressive to him, but this dessert shop was also remembered by him.

As soon as the words came out, she couldn't help but ask, could it be that Gu Jingrui really loved to follow herself back then? Otherwise, how could you even know this.

"I suddenly wanted to come here to have a look, although it is impossible for me to be with that person, but this shop and the owner here are friends to me."

There was almost nothing to hide, Xia Lichen was eating the cake while talking to Gu Jingrui about his relationship with this place after graduation.

"It seems that your experience with the boss here is really similar enough, but the difference is that you were completely forgotten by Chen Shaohua, and his wife is really gone."

Years ago, it was their first date, and now that the person who came with her was himself, he didn't feel jealous, but thought it was obviously a good start.

"You're right, so after marrying you, I want to take you here to see and tell the boss that you are my husband."

It's more like a complete goodbye to the past.

When leaving, because there were many people in the store, she didn't say hello to the boss, but took the initiative to take Gu Jingrui's hand and smiled at the other party.

Then, she took Gu Jingrui to the old house, which was her temporary haven for the past few months.

"It turns out that in your junior year of high school, you lived in this place with your brother?"

Gu Jingrui looked around, not that he didn't think that this place was easy to look down on, but he was surprised by this, in general, there was not even a big place for his fitting room, and it was actually the "home" where Xia Lizeng's sister and brother had lived for so many years.

"Anyway, it was nice for the two of us to have a place to live without rent, and I renovated it before."

As if she saw Gu Jingrui's thoughts, she said nonchalantly.

But his expression was still full of sadness.

"If only you had told me earlier, I was a bastard enough! You're already like this, and I'm still going to trouble you all day long. ”

The more he recalled that year, the more guilty he became, until Xia Lichen held his palm again.

"It's all gone, Gu Jingrui, at least in those years, relying on the house left to us by my mother, and the money for college, Li Xin and I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but we don't often buy clothes."

She brought Gu Jingrui here, not because she wanted the other party to feel any guilt because of this, but because they were now husband and wife, she wanted to completely confess her past to him.

"I will always treat you well Xia Lichen, no matter what happens in the future, I will not send your hand."

He hugged her tightly, sniffing the faint fragrance in her hair, thinking that he was the happiest person in the world.

After going back, the two still slept in separate rooms at night, but this night Xia Lichen slept more sweetly, and rarely did not dream.

It's just that the engagement banquet about the two of them is getting closer and closer.

"Anyway, we're going to have a wedding next month, is it really necessary to have an engagement reception?"

For ordinary families, after young people decide to get married, it is nothing more than relatives and friends making an appointment to have a meal or something, and sometimes there is no such process; So if it was changed to the Gu family, Xia Lichen didn't want to hold this engagement banquet a little, because he heard Gu Jingrui say that it would have to be held in his old house.

Don't think about it, there will definitely be a lot of people invited to come.

"It's natural, otherwise how would I tell the crowd outside that I'm getting married? But you don't have to be nervous, I'll let Mama Liu accompany you when the time comes. ”

And at that time, Chen Shaohua will also come.

Just thinking about it, the expression on that person's face would be very proud when he learned about it, but he didn't plan to tell Xia Lichen about it in advance.

"Alright then, I'll listen to you."

She really didn't understand this, so she thought it would be better to leave it to Gu Jingrui.

During the day, he still stayed at home, while Gu Jingrui went to the company to deal with things.

"Sister-in-law Liu, do you say, is Jingrui's parents on good terms?"

On this day, she felt a little bored, so she lay on the sofa and fell asleep, but when she turned around, she inadvertently glanced at the crystal bracelet on her wrist.

So she asked Sister-in-law Liu next to her with some curiosity.

"I really don't know about those things of the master, I was working elsewhere while the second lady was still there."

Hearing Xia Lichen ask this, Sister-in-law Liu was also surprised.

It's not that she didn't want to ask Gu Jingrui, but she thought that he didn't seem to like talking about this topic very much, so she gave up.

"So that's the case, but Sister-in-law Liu, don't you think the entire Gu family is weird? Although Gu Jingrui's mother is indeed not the original wife, she is also his father's legal wife, and you call her the second lady. ”

Xia Lichen suddenly gossiped a little, so he wasn't very sleepy at this time.

Who knew that Sister-in-law Liu smiled when she heard it, "Madam, don't let the lord listen to what you say, but when I was young as a domestic helper in the old house, I heard someone say that the eldest lady and the lord belong to a commercial marriage and have no love at all, but the second lady is the lord's own favorite." ”

After speaking, Sister-in-law Liu continued to prune the roses that had just been picked from the flower room.

Gu Yanrui's mother and their father are in a business marriage?

After hearing the news, Xia Lichen somehow thought of what Gu Yanrui had said to her when she left the Gu family and invited her to the restaurant for dinner.

Therefore, his resentful expressions towards Gu Jingrui and Gu Yan were also because of his mother.

"But don't worry, madam, I have seen it since I was a child, so I know best, he will not be a person like the master."

Even if she didn't know that, as a servant, she knew what a strange person the head of the Gu family was.

After hearing this, she felt a little blushing, and asked Sister-in-law Liu about it because of this bracelet, but it seemed that the other party had misunderstood.

A week passed quickly, and Xia Lichen was even more nervous on the day of the engagement banquet.

Almost since the afternoon, people at home have sent dresses from time to time, and Sister-in-law Liu has been helping her change her clothes.

In order to choose the most suitable evening dress.

And Gu Jingrui also specially called someone to help her take care of her hair.

"Wouldn't this be too exaggerated, Sister-in-law Liu? I think it's good to just mess with my hair. ”

The evening dress finally picked out what he liked, which was a full-body aqua blue bandeau dress, which just matched the set of jewelry that Gu Jingrui gave him.

"How can it be, madam, there are a lot of dignitaries and nobles who are coming to the old mansion tonight, if you dress up beautifully, the young master will definitely be very happy."

Sister-in-law Liu said, continuing to help her comb her hair.

She actually knows very well how many pounds and taels she has, so no matter how she dresses up, she doesn't think she can be beautiful.

However, taking advantage of this free time, she also sent a message to Tang Lin, and she will come with Li Xin and Sister Yu Tong today, after all, it is such an important day.

Seeing that Tang Lin said that they would arrive later, Xia Lichen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But immediately after, Gu Jingrui's message came, he said that he was waiting for her in the old mansion now, so that she should not be in a hurry and dress up slowly.
