Drunk in marriage: abduct an ex-wife and marry
Chapter 400 Let Du Ruo take the lead
"Mingxiu, I'm sorry, I seem to have asked something I shouldn't have asked." Qin Chuchu expressed his apology in a flustered manner. Everyone has hurts that they don't want to be touched by others, and Zhou Mingyuan is the hurt that Zhou Mingxiu tried to hide.
"It's okay, Sister Qin. In fact, Mingyuan has leukemia." Although it was only the second meeting with Qin Chuchu, for some reason, Zhou Xiuming felt that she was a trustworthy person, so he made no mention of Zhou Mingyuan's illness. He told her with reservations.
Zhou Xiuming's words surprised Qin Chuchu, and the kitchen knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.Only now did she understand that Zhou Mingyuan's bald head was due to chemotherapy.
"How come...he looks very energetic." Qin Chuchu stared at Zhou Xiuming in disbelief, afraid of disturbing Mingyuan who was playing in the living room, she tried to lower her voice as much as possible.
"I took him to the United States for bone marrow replacement treatment some time ago, and the effect is not bad, but the doctor said he can last up to 6 years."
Zhou Xiuming's words made Qin Chuchu's heart churn, and he felt deep sympathy for the poor siblings from the bottom of his heart.God always likes to let kind people go through all kinds of pain.
That dinner was very unpleasant for Qin Chu, but Zhou Mingxiu and Zhou Mingyuan enjoyed it very much.
"Sister Qin, I really want to thank you tonight. We haven't had food at home for a long time." After helping Qin Chuchu clean up the dishes, Zhou Xiuming expressed his thanks with a smile.
"If you don't dislike my lack of craftsmanship, you can often come to my house for dinner in the future. It happens that Xiaoran also likes to play with Mingyuan."
Qin Juchu looked at Zhou Mingyuan who was accompanying Gu Ran with a smile on his face, and was filled with emotion in his heart, such a good child, why did he suffer from such a disease.
"Ming Yuan also seems to like Gu Ran very much, let them play for a while, I'll go back to work first, and pick him up later." Zhou Mingxiu looked at his younger brother comfortingly, he hadn't seen Ming Yuan smiling so happily for a long time, Maybe he also saw the reflection of himself when he was a child from Gu Ran.
"Don't worry about going back to work. It's so close. If he wants to go back, I'll just send him back." Qin Chu waved his hand, indicating that Zhou Mingxiu didn't need to come here to pick him up.
After that night, the relationship between the two families gradually became closer. Zhou Mingyuan didn't talk much, but he always had a bright smile on his face, not at all like a terminally ill teenager.
Every time he saw the smile on Mingyuan's face, Qin Chuchu always felt an uncontrollable regret.
Because Zhou Mingyuan didn't go to school, he always stayed alone after Gu Ran went to kindergarten during the day, so Qin Chuchu proposed to Zhou Mingxiu to help him in his flower shop.
Although her flower shop is very small and there is no need to ask for a helper at all, she still wants to help this distressed boy to the best of her ability.
Zhou Mingyuan was very happy that he could find a job. He earnestly followed Qin Chuchu to learn how to build flower branches, pack flowers, and smile at every guest.After having his help, Qin Chuchu did feel a lot easier.
"Sister Qin, this is the income of the flower shop today."
Today, Qin Chuchu went to a flower garden in the suburbs to buy the flowers that the flower shop would order for the next season, and Zhou Mingyuan took the shop alone for a day.
"Mingyuan, you have worked hard today, and I will reward you with dry pot chicken tonight."
"It's not hard. Sister Qin is willing to let me work in your shop. I don't know how happy I am, and I don't feel hard at all."
What Zhou Mingyuan said was the truth, because he watched his sister writing hard every day, but he was like a useless person, unable to help with anything, and the anxiety in his heart was self-evident.
But he couldn't show it, because he didn't want to add to his sister's burden. If he could make her a little bit happier by laughing all the time, then he was willing to hide his true feelings all the time and face everything with a smile all the time.
But now it's better, I can work, and I can make money to share for my sister. All this is thanks to Sister Qin in front of me, she is really a kind person.
"It's a pity that Sister Qin's shop makes too little money to give you a high salary."
Qin Chu looked apologetically at the well-behaved boy in front of her, who made people feel distressed. If she could, she really hoped that she could help him more.
"It's already a lot, thank you, Sister Qin."
"Silly brother," Qin Chuchu smiled, "it's almost time, let's close the store and go buy vegetables, Mingxiu should have taken Gu Ran home."
Ever since Qin Chuchu asked Zhou Mingyuan to come to work in his shop, Zhou Mingxiu took the initiative to help her take Gu Ran back to her home every day as a gift in return, so that Qin Chuchu didn't have to close the flower shop early every day, which was more or less increased. The florist added some income.
"En, okay." Ming Yuan nodded, and began to clean up the flower branches that fell on the ground during the day.
After closing the store door, Qin Chuchu put his hands on Zhou Mingyuan's shoulders, and the two walked towards the vegetable market talking and laughing, just like a pair of siblings.
Zhou Mingxiu ran down the stairs in a panic, raking and scratching her hair with both hands.Today is particularly inspired, she has been writing since she got up.Fortunately, Ming Yuan was asked to set an alarm on his phone just in case, otherwise he would really miss picking up Gu Ran today.
However, because she was in a hurry to go out, she didn't even have time to look in the mirror, and she was wearing the home clothes she wore when she went to bed last night.
When he saw a big Benz parked at the gate downstairs, Zhou Mingxiu didn't hesitate at all, and started straightening the instrumentation directly to the window of the big Benz.Du Ruo in the car stared dumbfounded at the woman outside the car who used her car window as a mirror.
He was wearing crumpled home clothes, his permed hair was messy on his shoulders, his eyes were piercing, but there was an eye dropping in the corner of his eyes...
This is really a sloppy woman, this is the only impression Du Ruo had of Zhou Mingxiu when she first met her.
Zhou Mingxiu roughly smoothed out her hair with her hands, and wiped off the dirty little things at the corners of her eyes with her fingers, and then took pictures of her left and right to make sure she was barely satisfied with her image before leaving.
"Aunt Mingxiu!"
From afar, Gu Ran ran towards Zhou Mingxiu. Aunt Mingxiu had been picking him up recently. His mother told him to listen to his aunt on the way, so he followed Aunt Mingxiu home every day obediently.
Gu Ran actually liked that Zhou Mingxiu came to pick him up, because she would often buy some delicious food for herself on the way, and her mother always refused to buy him roadside snacks on the grounds that children couldn't eat too many snacks. .
"Xiaoran, do you want to eat candied haws?"
"En!" Gu Ran nodded vigorously. He has been craving candied haws for a long time, but his mother said that eating them would cause tooth decay, so she never bought them for herself.
"But when you get home, you must not leak your words, or your aunt will be scolded to death by your mother." Zhou Mingxiu repeatedly urged Gu Ran, and after making sure he really understood, she bought a candied haws and handed it to him.
Du Ruo looked at the sloppy woman leading Gu Ran all the way in surprise. If it wasn't for the fact that Qin Chuchu was indeed living in this building, he would really have thought this woman was a human trafficker.
"Of course." After thinking for a while, Du Ruo got out of the car and greeted Gu Ran with a smile, even though he knew that his behavior might scare the woman beside Gu Ran.
Sure enough, when Zhou Mingxiu saw a handsome man getting out of the car that he had just used as a mirror, he wished he could find a crack in the ground and get in.This man has been sitting in the car, so the other party saw the scene where he combed his hair and arranged his clothes, and even... wiped off his eye poo just now!
"Have you been sitting in the car just now?" Zhou Mingxiu asked with a fluke mentality, maybe he just parked the car here just now, and no one was in it at all.
"En." Of course Du Ruo knew why Zhou Mingxiu asked such a question, he really wanted to say no, but he was always honest and nodded.
"Hehe..." The last hope was ruthlessly shattered, Zhou Mingxiu could only smile dryly to hide his embarrassment.
"Beautiful uncle, why are you here?" Gu Ran didn't understand the inexplicable conversation between the two adults, he only cared about what he wanted to know, "Have you seen my dad recently, but I haven't seen him for a long time."
Because every time I mention my parents, I will be unhappy, so Gu Ran hasn't asked about my father for a long time. Now that my mother is away, it shouldn't matter to ask my beautiful uncle about my father. Gu Ran comforted himself in his heart , he didn't betray his mother, he just missed his father too much.
"Your father is very good, but how are you doing with your mother?" Du Ruo didn't expect that Gu Ran's first sentence was about asking himself for news about Gu Chao, and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Xiao Ran, do you know him?" Zhou Mingxiu pointed to Du Ruo and asked Gu Ran if he knew him. After all, the society is not peaceful now. Although this person looks dignified, who knows if he is a bad person in his heart.
"Well, the handsome uncle is my mother's good friend," Gu Ran nodded, then moved closer to Zhou Mingxiu's ear and lowered his voice, "But he always wanted to rob Mom from Dad, so Xiao Ran doesn't like him very much."
Although Gu Ran spoke vaguely, the clever Zhou Mingxiu still understood that the man in front of him turned out to be Sister Qin's suitor.But what Zhou Mingxiu didn't understand was why this man, who looked very shrewd, would do things to destroy other people's families.
She intuitively thought that Qin Juchu divorced Gu Ran's father because of the man in front of her, so she looked at him differently.
Du Ruo looked at Zhou Mingxiu in some confusion. For some reason, he always felt that there was a trace of contempt in the eyes of the other party looking at him.
Just as Du Ruo and Zhou Mingxiu were looking at each other, Qin Chuchu and Zhou Mingyuan walked in through the gate carrying two large bags of fresh ingredients. "Du Ruo, why are you here?" Qin Juchu was surprised when she saw Du Ruo. She kept secrets so well, so she didn't know how Du Ruo found her.
"Ju Chu, long time no see." Compared to Qin Chu Chu's surprise, Du Ruo seemed very calm, "Are you okay?"
"Well, it's good." Seeing Du Ruo again, Qin Chuchu was filled with emotion. It had been almost half a year, and she hadn't contacted the friends she used to know, and she almost forgot her past life. Come to my house and sit down."
Qin Juchu invited this old friend. After all, she and Du Ruo have been good friends for many years, and what happened last time has nothing to do with him.
"Sister Qin, who is this?" Zhou Mingxiu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, and Qin Chuchu remembered that he should introduce everyone to each other first.
"This is Du Ruo, a good friend I have known for many years," Qin Chu introduced Du Ruo to Zhou Mingxiu with a smile, his voice was full of tenderness, then turned to Du Ruo, and introduced Zhou Mingxiu and Zhou Mingyuan to him, "This is Zhou Mingxiu. It's Zhou Mingyuan, they are siblings, our two families live on the opposite side of the same floor, and they take good care of Xiaoran and me."
"Ms. Zhou, hello. Nice to meet you." Du Ruo nodded to the siblings, and then stretched out her hand to Zhou Mingxiu.
Zhou Mingxiu was a little embarrassed, and couldn't let go of Du Ruo seeing her embarrassment.However, the other party behaved so decently, and it was not easy for him to save Sister Qin's face. After all, he was the one who asked the question first.
"Hello." Zhou Mingxiu stretched out his hand and shook Du Ruo carelessly, then immediately retracted it.
"Don't stand here stupidly, let's all sit at home." Qin Chuchu didn't see the difference between the two of them, and reminded everyone with a smile.
"Wait a minute," Du Ruo walked to the side of the car, opened the rear compartment, took out a big gift box and handed it to Gu Ran, "Of course, this is for you.
The remote control plane printed on the gift box was indeed the toy Gu Ran had always wanted, but the toy was given by a handsome uncle, so he didn't know whether he should accept it or not.
"Xiao Ran, Uncle Du specially picked a gift for you. Thank you, Uncle Du." Seeing his son's hesitation, Qin Juchu was afraid that Du Ruo would not be able to step down, so he quickly reminded Gu Ran to accept the gift.
"Thank you, Uncle Du." Gu Ran took the gift box and thanked him reluctantly.Dad is not here, he wonders if his mother will be snatched away by the handsome uncle, he is really worried.
Because there was one more person, Qin Juchu asked Zhou Mingyuan to go down and buy some semi-finished cooked food halfway through.As for Zhou Mingxiu, she kept hiding in the kitchen under the pretext of helping her because she had a grudge in her heart and refused to come out.So for a while, only Du Ruo and Gu Ran were left sitting in the living room, staring at each other.
"Beautiful uncle, can you stop robbing my mother from my father?" Gu Ran, who couldn't sit still, finally said that his father was not here, so he wanted to protect his mother for his father, and she must not be snatched away by other men.
"What if your mother chose Uncle Du?" Du Ruo asked Gu Ran without answering.
"No, my mother only has my father in her heart." Gu Ran said anxiously, hoping that the beautiful uncle could understand that mother can only belong to father.
Du Ruo smiled and patted Gu Ran's head, noncommittal to his words, but a three or four year old kid, no matter how precocious, he knows how much love between men and women, he doesn't need to be serious with him.
Qin Chuchu's dry pot chicken was very successful tonight, and everyone in the house ate it to their heart's content.Qin Chuchu was happy because his old friend came to see him, and even went to buy a few bottles of beer.But because Du Ruo had to drive later, all the wine went into the stomachs of Qin Chuchu and Zhou Mingxiu.
Both women were a little tipsy from drinking, and it was because of Du Ruo's appearance that Qin Chuchu recalled the past.Those people and things that I deliberately avoided seemed to rush towards me in an instant, and I couldn't stop them.
As for Zhou Mingxiu, it was because of He Dong's recklessness and abandonment. That indifferent and handsome man was her first love... She and Mingyuan's new home address had been sent to him for a long time, but he never came to visit. Own.
The two preoccupied women clinked glasses non-stop, laughing with the strength of alcohol, and used their laughter to cover up their inner pain and loss.
Du Ruo was a little helpless. Originally, he just wanted to visit Qin Juchu, have a good chat with her, and confide how much he missed her these days, but he didn't expect that when she got drunk, Gu Ran stared at him with hostility again. .As for the bald boy, he has been busy taking care of two drunken women.
Feeling that it would be useless for her to stay any longer, Du Ruo had no choice but to get up and say goodbye, leaving Qin Juchu's home in a hurry.Anyway, he already knew Chu Chu's whereabouts, so he could come and see her anytime.
Du Ruo's departure made Gu Ran, who had been on alert all along, heaved a sigh of relief. He helped his father again, and when he saw his father, he must let him praise himself well and choose a big gift to reward him.
As for the remote control plane given by Uncle Du, although it was very tempting, he would never touch it, because it would be disloyal to his father.Gu Ran stared at the airplane gift box Du Ruo gave him, and secretly made up his mind.
Mingyuan took care of Gu Ran to sleep that night. Qin Chuchu and Zhou Mingxiu were so drunk that Mingyuan had no choice but to help them all to sleep on the sofa in the living room. Because the bed in the bedroom was too high, he really didn’t Try to get them up there.
Since that time, Du Ruo often came to visit Qin Juchu's mother and son from time to time.Zhou Mingxiu also knew from Qin Juchu's mouth that Du Ruo was not the third party between her and Gu Chao, and his impression of him changed greatly. Not only did he lose the initial disgust, but he was even moved by his deep affection for Qin Juchu.
Sometimes when Du Ruo came, it happened that Qin Juchu was not at home, and Zhou Mingxiu would invite him to sit at home.
"You know, when we first met, Xiao Ran said that you were the one who robbed Sister Qin from his father. At that time, I thought you were the third party between their husband and wife." Zhou Mingxiu brought a glass Put warm water on the coffee table in front of Du Ruo.
Today Du Ruo came a little earlier, Qin Chuchu was still on his way home from the flower shop, originally he planned to pick up Qin Chuchu, but was resolutely rejected by Qin Chuchu, in desperation he knocked on the door of Zhou Mingxiu's house The door, intending to sit at her house for a while and wait for Qin Chuchu to come back.
"No wonder, I just said that we are meeting for the first time, why is there hostility in your eyes?" Du Ruo paused, then continued with a smile, "I thought it was because I accidentally saw you arranging your appearance." look."
"Stop! That is a gray memory of my whole life, please don't mention it again, just forget about it, Amen." Zhou Xiuming put his right index finger on the palm of his left hand, and made a stop gesture to Du Ruo.
Du Ruo shook her head and laughed amused by her exaggerated and funny language and exaggerated gestures.But he didn't know that his smile made Zhou Mingxiu lose his mind.
Zhou Mingxiu had always known that Du Ruo was a beautiful man, but he never thought that he could be so beautiful when he smiled. Although he could always see his smile, the mask-like smile was nothing compared to the genuine smile he just showed. The difference between cloud and mud.
It turned out that she was just a flirtatious woman after all. A few days ago, He Donglao was still sad, but now she was easily moved by a smile from another man.
From then on, Zhou Mingxiu seemed to have a hint of anticipation for Du Ruo's visit. Although he knew that his arrival and departure were not because of her, she still couldn't help secretly looking forward to it.
This may be the most painful kind of love in the world - secret love, but it is also the safest kind of love, because there will be no loss and betrayal.As long as you are willing, you can guard this love alone forever.
Zhou Mingxiu just quietly fell in love with Du Ruo's infatuation and love for Du Ruo's beauty, but she never wanted to possess him in the past, because she knew that Du Ruo had a deep love for Qin Juchu, and she also knew how much Qin Chuchu cared for their siblings. with pampering.
So for Du Ruo and Qin Chuchu, blessing is her only attitude.
As for my own mood, I can only pack it up, the heart hidden in the upper left, locked and dusty.Maybe one day, there will be a chance to open it again, but Zhou Mingxiu knows that when that day comes, it will be very difficult.
"Sister, why are you in a daze again? Haven't you been able to get any jobs recently?" Zhou Mingyuan waved his hands back and forth in front of Zhou Mingxiu's eyes, and asked worriedly.
"How could it be, your sister and I are high-volume writers, and I can't keep up with too much work." Zhou Mingxiu, who came back to his senses, patted his younger brother's hand away, and praised himself quite proudly.
Du Ruo came again today and brought a ruby ring to Sister Qin, but she was rejected by Sister Qin. The disappointed look in Du Ruo's eyes before leaving made Zhou Mingxiu feel very distressed.
If it was me, I'm afraid I would have been overjoyed, but it's a pity that emotional matters are never one-on-one.Du Ruo loved Qin Juchu deeply, but Qin Juchu never forgot his ex-husband. Although he said resentment and hatred on his lips, he couldn't hide the look in his eyes every time he was mentioned.
As for her, she could only hide in her own world, and she felt dejected while suffering from the extremely small wounds that kept bleeding continuously.
"Sister, I found that something is wrong with you recently, is it because of He Dong, you still can't forget him?"
Of course Zhou Mingyuan didn't know what Zhou Mingxiu was thinking, because she hid it so well that even her own younger brother never noticed it.
"Of course not. He and I have long been in the past tense. Don't mention him in the future. It's getting late and go to bed." Zhou Mingxiu smiled and patted his younger brother on the shoulder, urging him to go to rest quickly. He is a patient after all.
After taking care of his younger brother to sleep, Zhou Mingxiu sat down in front of the computer again and started typing.Perhaps it was because of her crush on Du Ruo, her feelings had been pinned down, and she had tasted the taste of her crush herself, so she was particularly inspired at this time, and with the help of a god when writing, a short story of tens of thousands of words would soon be published.
Of course, in the short story, the female supporting role who had a crush on the male lead finally got her wish and got the male lead.Since it cannot be realized in real life, let her play it in her own novels.After all, this is a world where she can make decisions, and no one can doubt whether the plot is really possible, because this is just a novel.
Sister Qin is so strange today. While watering the flowers, Zhou Mingyuan kept looking at Qin Chuchu who was pruning the flower branches from time to time.
He still remembered that Sister Qin said when she taught him how to organize flowers, she was a flower lover, and although what she was doing was pruning flowers, it was not to speed up the demise of flowers, but to let these beautiful flowers in When I am at my most prosperous, I will present myself in front of those who need and like it the most with my best appearance.
So every time Sister Qin is arranging the flowers, she always looks calm, with an intoxicating smile, as if she is communicating with the flowers, but today, she is uncharacteristically, frowning tightly, and sighing from time to time .
They look just like my sister last night, what happened to them?Thinking about it, Zhou Mingyuan's brows slowly frowned.
At this time, Qin Chuchu was upset, and he was not as calm as usual when he did things.Du Ruo's appearance caused another disturbance in Xinhu, which she had finally calmed down.
Yesterday, Du Ruo proposed to herself again. Although she had already made up her mind to reject him at that time, Du Ruo's hurt eyes made her blame herself.
She didn't want to fall into the previous predicament again, with Du Ruo on one side and Gu Chao on the other, and she was caught in the middle of a dilemma, exhausted.
During these days, she took Xiaoran by herself and lived a peaceful life. Although she still felt heartbroken when she thought of the child who died young, at least she was not as hysterical as at the beginning.
She cherishes the peaceful days now, and she doesn't want this rare tranquility to be disturbed by anyone.But Du Ruo's unchanging affection put a lot of pressure on her. Du Ruo's melancholy and hurt eyes always made her feel that she was an unforgivable villain.
She didn't know how long she could resist, and if Du Ruo proposed next time, would she be able to ruthlessly refuse.
During this period of time, Du Ruo would come to Qin Chuchu's place for dinner basically whenever he had time.As a result, Qin Juchu's originally small home seemed even more crowded, and the small dining table was always full of people every day, making it extraordinarily lively.
Every time he still brings gifts to Gu Ran, although he has never seen Gu Ran open these gifts, perseverance has always been his greatest strength, or it should be said that he doesn't know what else he can do besides persistence.
Qin Juchu knew that Du Ruo would not give up easily just because of his one refusal, so every time he got along with him, he was always a little uncomfortable, and he felt a little bit like an underdog.As long as she felt that there was something wrong with Du Ruo's words, she would immediately change the topic, or simply leave temporarily with an excuse.
Du Ruo naturally saw all these reactions of hers, but she could only smile bitterly in her heart. After all these years of getting along, Chu Chu still didn't understand herself.Even if he is longing for it, as long as Qin Chuchu has the slightest reluctance, he will never force it.
Sometimes he also wonders if it is because of this reason that he has not been able to get Chu Chu, but he can't do it if he is forced to do Chu Chu like Gu Chao.
He always respected Qin Juchu.
Du Ruo's affection, Qin Juchu could not accept it, but Qin Juchu could turn a blind eye to Du Ruo's pain.But there was one who could not remain indifferent.
After dinner, when Du Ruo was about to leave, Zhou Mingxiu followed him out with an excuse.
"Miss Zhou, I'm leaving first."
Du Ruo walked to his car, unlocked the car with the remote control, and was about to get in the car.
"Everyone is so familiar, they can be regarded as friends, why do you keep calling Ms. Zhou such a stranger, and just call me Mingxiu from now on."
"Okay, Mingxiu." Du Ruo smiled as she wished. He has always been a kind person who treats everyone with a humble and polite attitude but gives people a slight sense of alienation.
Perhaps it was this kind of desire to get close to him that made Zhou Mingxiu more fascinated by him.Every inch of Du Ruo's body is a story that attracts her.
"Mingxiu, is there anything else?"
Du Ruo spoke again, interrupting Zhou Mingxiu's thoughts, and then she remembered her purpose of following him down, "Oh, I want to give you this book."
Zhou Mingxiu handed Du Ruo a book with a silver-white cover, which included several short stories of hers. There were a few sentences in the short stories that she had always wanted to say to Du Ruo, but she didn't have the courage to say them.
"Did you write it, great writer?" Du Ruo took the book with a smile, and said a rare witty word.
"What, it's just a few collections, all my friends have given them away, you can read them if you have time." Zhou Mingxiu explained with his hands in the back pockets of his trousers, trying to let himself give them away. The behavior of the book does not appear abrupt.
"I will definitely take a good look at it, thank you." Du Ruo nodded, speaking with a very serious expression, Zhou Mingxiu seemed to be able to feel the sincerity in his words.
"Won't you ask me to sign it for you? Maybe you can sell it for a good price in the future." Zhou Mingxiu tilted his head, winked at Du Ruo, and said mischievously.
"I can't ask for it." Du Ruo presented the book with both hands, and actually waited for Zhou Mingxiu to sign it for him.
"Okay, let's talk about it when I really become a great writer." Zhou Mingxiu laughed and waved his hands, carefully expressing his concern for the man in front of him, "It's getting late, you should go back early, drive on the road be careful."
"Thank you for your book." Du Ruo nodded, turned and opened the car door, started the car and left.
Zhou Mingxiu stood quietly at the same spot, watching his car go away, until he couldn't see it anymore, then turned around and went upstairs reluctantly.I hope that he can really see what I want to tell him.
"Gu Chao, where did you hide Ju Chu?"
On this day, when Gu Chao came out of his residence, an unexpected person appeared in front of him, blocking his way of love.
"Wu Jinpeng, you don't deserve to talk to me." Gu Chao cast a contemptuous glance at the man in front of him, and passed him directly.
"Gu Chao, you will pay for your arrogance today." Before Gu Chao got into the car, Wu Jinpeng dropped these words.
Gu Chao raised the corner of his mouth mockingly, and sneered at Wu Jinpeng's threat.Gu Chao didn't pay attention to this shameless person who climbed up through nepotism.
"Gu Chao, mom is sick and is alone in the hospital, can you go back to City A to be with mom?"
Gu Chao received a call from Zhao Ke. Zhao Ke's voice sounded very tired on the phone, and Gu Chao's heart felt sore when he heard it.I am busy with the company and looking for Qin Chuchu, but I haven't cared about my mother for a long time.
Although she blamed Qin Juchu for having a miscarriage in her heart, after all, she was the mother who gave birth to her. Now that she is divorced from her father, it must be a very hard life for her to live alone.
"Mom, I'll go back to see you tomorrow."
It was a rare time that Gu Chao listened to his mother like this, Zhao Ke hung up the phone, tears began to flow down, she was as strong as her, but after losing her husband and family, she became as fragile as an ordinary woman.
Two days ago, she accidentally contracted acute pneumonia. She was hospitalized alone, and her heart was unprecedentedly bleak.Fortunately, she still has a son named Gu Chao. Thinking of seeing her son tomorrow, Zhao Ke wiped away her tears and showed a reassuring smile.
"Mr. Gu, the person behind the animation base project has been found out."
He hung up on his mother's phone when He Dong called.
"Okay, let's meet again. I'm on my way to the Champs-Elysees Hotel. You can go to Room 601 and find me later." Gu Chao invited a few business partners to chat at the Champs-Elysees Hotel today. Better business.
Lifting the Rolex on his wrist, the hour hand points to 10:[-], which is still early for the time agreed with the client, which should be enough for him to talk about things with He Dong.
"Okay, I'll go now."
Originally, He Dong and Gu Chao lived together, but recently, due to frequent accidents in the company recently, both of them are running around day and night, and basically have no time to go back to the hotel where they live.Wherever it is convenient, rest nearby.
"Zhizhong, come to room 601 of the Champs-Elysees right now, there is something important." After hanging up He Dong's phone, Gu Chao seemed to remember something, and dialed Fan Zhizhong's cell phone again.
"Who is behind the scenes?"
In room 601 of the Champs-Elysees, Gu Chao was lazily sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed on the coffee table. He was so tired these days that he could fall asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.
However, he likes the current state very much. At least his work fills in his lack of Qin Chuchu's disappearance. He has no time to think about Qin Chuchu and temporarily forgets the pain of losing the one he loves.
"A company named Jinchu." He Dong's cold voice came from the room, the schedule was so full that he didn't even have time to drink water, so when he came to the room, the first thing he did was Go to the pantry to pour water.
"Jin Chu..." Gu Chao silently read the name, a playful smile gradually surfaced on his face, he thought he already knew who was behind the scenes.
"Wu Jinpeng is behind the scenes." Gu Chao didn't have too much eyesight, and said this sentence with certainty. He didn't use interrogative sentences, but affirmative sentences.
"Yes, Mr. Gu guessed right. It was this guy who used the small company registered with other legal persons to incite some other companies interested in the animation base land, and kept putting pressure on the government of City B."
He Dong drank a glass of ice water in one breath, then poured another glass in his hand, and walked slowly to the sofa where Gu Chao was sitting.
Gu Chao looked longingly at the ice water in He Dong's hand, "I want it too."
He Dong looked at Gu Chao, passed the water glass to his boss with a blank expression, then stood up and poured himself another glass.He knew that Gu Chao's schedule was fuller than his own, so his hard work was definitely not inferior to his own.
"Have you thought about how to deal with him?" Gu Chao drank the ice water in one gulp, and recovered a little bit of energy.
"Wu Jinpeng has deliberately expanded his business scope over the years, and he has done a lot of bad things. As long as we put in a little effort, it will not be difficult to catch him. If Mr. Gu is willing, we can make him lose his life forever. "He Dong said calmly, with a calm tone as if he was talking about today's weather.
"I'll leave this matter to you," Gu Chao nodded, he was quite aware of his assistant's ability, "My mother is sick, I have to go back to City A tomorrow, it may take some time Come back and contact me at any time if there is any situation."
"Okay, young lady, is there still no news?"
When Qin Chuchu was mentioned, Gu Chao's expression immediately became gloomy.He shook his head and sighed helplessly, "Mumu probably will avoid me for the rest of his life."
"Don't be discouraged, City B is not big, there will always be a day when we meet," He Dong's words were not so much comforting Gu Chao, but rather encouraging himself. "Didn't you say that you saw a flower shop named Ruichu last time, and you suspected that it was the new flower shop opened by the young lady?"
"But then I went to that neighborhood several times, but I never saw that flower shop again." Gu Chao frowned with a headache, not understanding why the street disappeared out of thin air. Could it be that what he saw that day was just Is it a hallucination caused by missing Mumu too much?
"By the way, is there any news about Yuanyuan?"
He Dong smiled wryly and shook his head, Yuanyuan disappeared too completely, finding her was no less difficult than finding the young lady.
"Boss, why did you call me here?"
Fan Zhizhong's voice sounded by the door, and after seeing He Dong in the room, his expression became ugly.
"Sit." Gu Chao pointed to the seat next to He Dong, signaling Fan Zhizhong to sit down.
Fan Zhizhong reluctantly walked to He Dong's side, and sat on a corner of the sofa as far away from him as possible.
"Okay, we've worked together for so many years, there's no need to do this for a woman." The reason why Gu Chao called Fan Zhizhong was to resolve the knot between him and He Dong. Isn't there a hot fight with Mumu's best friend now, so there's no need to fight with He Dong over Yuanyuan's matter to the point of never getting in touch with each other."
"Boss, nothing can escape your eyes." Fan Zhizhong resumed his usual playful smile, and began to flatter Gu Chaolai.
In fact, what Gu Chao said was right, he had already forgiven He Dong in his heart, after all, he had always had a wishful love with Yuanyuan, and Yuanyuan had never reciprocated his feelings.Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Yuanyuan likes He Dong.
What he was angry about was that since He Dong had already made Yuanyuan pregnant with his own child, why did he hide it from his brother? The most hateful thing was that He Dong had another girlfriend after having Yuanyuan. He is very upset.
"It's okay, Sister Qin. In fact, Mingyuan has leukemia." Although it was only the second meeting with Qin Chuchu, for some reason, Zhou Xiuming felt that she was a trustworthy person, so he made no mention of Zhou Mingyuan's illness. He told her with reservations.
Zhou Xiuming's words surprised Qin Chuchu, and the kitchen knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.Only now did she understand that Zhou Mingyuan's bald head was due to chemotherapy.
"How come...he looks very energetic." Qin Chuchu stared at Zhou Xiuming in disbelief, afraid of disturbing Mingyuan who was playing in the living room, she tried to lower her voice as much as possible.
"I took him to the United States for bone marrow replacement treatment some time ago, and the effect is not bad, but the doctor said he can last up to 6 years."
Zhou Xiuming's words made Qin Chuchu's heart churn, and he felt deep sympathy for the poor siblings from the bottom of his heart.God always likes to let kind people go through all kinds of pain.
That dinner was very unpleasant for Qin Chu, but Zhou Mingxiu and Zhou Mingyuan enjoyed it very much.
"Sister Qin, I really want to thank you tonight. We haven't had food at home for a long time." After helping Qin Chuchu clean up the dishes, Zhou Xiuming expressed his thanks with a smile.
"If you don't dislike my lack of craftsmanship, you can often come to my house for dinner in the future. It happens that Xiaoran also likes to play with Mingyuan."
Qin Juchu looked at Zhou Mingyuan who was accompanying Gu Ran with a smile on his face, and was filled with emotion in his heart, such a good child, why did he suffer from such a disease.
"Ming Yuan also seems to like Gu Ran very much, let them play for a while, I'll go back to work first, and pick him up later." Zhou Mingxiu looked at his younger brother comfortingly, he hadn't seen Ming Yuan smiling so happily for a long time, Maybe he also saw the reflection of himself when he was a child from Gu Ran.
"Don't worry about going back to work. It's so close. If he wants to go back, I'll just send him back." Qin Chu waved his hand, indicating that Zhou Mingxiu didn't need to come here to pick him up.
After that night, the relationship between the two families gradually became closer. Zhou Mingyuan didn't talk much, but he always had a bright smile on his face, not at all like a terminally ill teenager.
Every time he saw the smile on Mingyuan's face, Qin Chuchu always felt an uncontrollable regret.
Because Zhou Mingyuan didn't go to school, he always stayed alone after Gu Ran went to kindergarten during the day, so Qin Chuchu proposed to Zhou Mingxiu to help him in his flower shop.
Although her flower shop is very small and there is no need to ask for a helper at all, she still wants to help this distressed boy to the best of her ability.
Zhou Mingyuan was very happy that he could find a job. He earnestly followed Qin Chuchu to learn how to build flower branches, pack flowers, and smile at every guest.After having his help, Qin Chuchu did feel a lot easier.
"Sister Qin, this is the income of the flower shop today."
Today, Qin Chuchu went to a flower garden in the suburbs to buy the flowers that the flower shop would order for the next season, and Zhou Mingyuan took the shop alone for a day.
"Mingyuan, you have worked hard today, and I will reward you with dry pot chicken tonight."
"It's not hard. Sister Qin is willing to let me work in your shop. I don't know how happy I am, and I don't feel hard at all."
What Zhou Mingyuan said was the truth, because he watched his sister writing hard every day, but he was like a useless person, unable to help with anything, and the anxiety in his heart was self-evident.
But he couldn't show it, because he didn't want to add to his sister's burden. If he could make her a little bit happier by laughing all the time, then he was willing to hide his true feelings all the time and face everything with a smile all the time.
But now it's better, I can work, and I can make money to share for my sister. All this is thanks to Sister Qin in front of me, she is really a kind person.
"It's a pity that Sister Qin's shop makes too little money to give you a high salary."
Qin Chu looked apologetically at the well-behaved boy in front of her, who made people feel distressed. If she could, she really hoped that she could help him more.
"It's already a lot, thank you, Sister Qin."
"Silly brother," Qin Chuchu smiled, "it's almost time, let's close the store and go buy vegetables, Mingxiu should have taken Gu Ran home."
Ever since Qin Chuchu asked Zhou Mingyuan to come to work in his shop, Zhou Mingxiu took the initiative to help her take Gu Ran back to her home every day as a gift in return, so that Qin Chuchu didn't have to close the flower shop early every day, which was more or less increased. The florist added some income.
"En, okay." Ming Yuan nodded, and began to clean up the flower branches that fell on the ground during the day.
After closing the store door, Qin Chuchu put his hands on Zhou Mingyuan's shoulders, and the two walked towards the vegetable market talking and laughing, just like a pair of siblings.
Zhou Mingxiu ran down the stairs in a panic, raking and scratching her hair with both hands.Today is particularly inspired, she has been writing since she got up.Fortunately, Ming Yuan was asked to set an alarm on his phone just in case, otherwise he would really miss picking up Gu Ran today.
However, because she was in a hurry to go out, she didn't even have time to look in the mirror, and she was wearing the home clothes she wore when she went to bed last night.
When he saw a big Benz parked at the gate downstairs, Zhou Mingxiu didn't hesitate at all, and started straightening the instrumentation directly to the window of the big Benz.Du Ruo in the car stared dumbfounded at the woman outside the car who used her car window as a mirror.
He was wearing crumpled home clothes, his permed hair was messy on his shoulders, his eyes were piercing, but there was an eye dropping in the corner of his eyes...
This is really a sloppy woman, this is the only impression Du Ruo had of Zhou Mingxiu when she first met her.
Zhou Mingxiu roughly smoothed out her hair with her hands, and wiped off the dirty little things at the corners of her eyes with her fingers, and then took pictures of her left and right to make sure she was barely satisfied with her image before leaving.
"Aunt Mingxiu!"
From afar, Gu Ran ran towards Zhou Mingxiu. Aunt Mingxiu had been picking him up recently. His mother told him to listen to his aunt on the way, so he followed Aunt Mingxiu home every day obediently.
Gu Ran actually liked that Zhou Mingxiu came to pick him up, because she would often buy some delicious food for herself on the way, and her mother always refused to buy him roadside snacks on the grounds that children couldn't eat too many snacks. .
"Xiaoran, do you want to eat candied haws?"
"En!" Gu Ran nodded vigorously. He has been craving candied haws for a long time, but his mother said that eating them would cause tooth decay, so she never bought them for herself.
"But when you get home, you must not leak your words, or your aunt will be scolded to death by your mother." Zhou Mingxiu repeatedly urged Gu Ran, and after making sure he really understood, she bought a candied haws and handed it to him.
Du Ruo looked at the sloppy woman leading Gu Ran all the way in surprise. If it wasn't for the fact that Qin Chuchu was indeed living in this building, he would really have thought this woman was a human trafficker.
"Of course." After thinking for a while, Du Ruo got out of the car and greeted Gu Ran with a smile, even though he knew that his behavior might scare the woman beside Gu Ran.
Sure enough, when Zhou Mingxiu saw a handsome man getting out of the car that he had just used as a mirror, he wished he could find a crack in the ground and get in.This man has been sitting in the car, so the other party saw the scene where he combed his hair and arranged his clothes, and even... wiped off his eye poo just now!
"Have you been sitting in the car just now?" Zhou Mingxiu asked with a fluke mentality, maybe he just parked the car here just now, and no one was in it at all.
"En." Of course Du Ruo knew why Zhou Mingxiu asked such a question, he really wanted to say no, but he was always honest and nodded.
"Hehe..." The last hope was ruthlessly shattered, Zhou Mingxiu could only smile dryly to hide his embarrassment.
"Beautiful uncle, why are you here?" Gu Ran didn't understand the inexplicable conversation between the two adults, he only cared about what he wanted to know, "Have you seen my dad recently, but I haven't seen him for a long time."
Because every time I mention my parents, I will be unhappy, so Gu Ran hasn't asked about my father for a long time. Now that my mother is away, it shouldn't matter to ask my beautiful uncle about my father. Gu Ran comforted himself in his heart , he didn't betray his mother, he just missed his father too much.
"Your father is very good, but how are you doing with your mother?" Du Ruo didn't expect that Gu Ran's first sentence was about asking himself for news about Gu Chao, and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Xiao Ran, do you know him?" Zhou Mingxiu pointed to Du Ruo and asked Gu Ran if he knew him. After all, the society is not peaceful now. Although this person looks dignified, who knows if he is a bad person in his heart.
"Well, the handsome uncle is my mother's good friend," Gu Ran nodded, then moved closer to Zhou Mingxiu's ear and lowered his voice, "But he always wanted to rob Mom from Dad, so Xiao Ran doesn't like him very much."
Although Gu Ran spoke vaguely, the clever Zhou Mingxiu still understood that the man in front of him turned out to be Sister Qin's suitor.But what Zhou Mingxiu didn't understand was why this man, who looked very shrewd, would do things to destroy other people's families.
She intuitively thought that Qin Juchu divorced Gu Ran's father because of the man in front of her, so she looked at him differently.
Du Ruo looked at Zhou Mingxiu in some confusion. For some reason, he always felt that there was a trace of contempt in the eyes of the other party looking at him.
Just as Du Ruo and Zhou Mingxiu were looking at each other, Qin Chuchu and Zhou Mingyuan walked in through the gate carrying two large bags of fresh ingredients. "Du Ruo, why are you here?" Qin Juchu was surprised when she saw Du Ruo. She kept secrets so well, so she didn't know how Du Ruo found her.
"Ju Chu, long time no see." Compared to Qin Chu Chu's surprise, Du Ruo seemed very calm, "Are you okay?"
"Well, it's good." Seeing Du Ruo again, Qin Chuchu was filled with emotion. It had been almost half a year, and she hadn't contacted the friends she used to know, and she almost forgot her past life. Come to my house and sit down."
Qin Juchu invited this old friend. After all, she and Du Ruo have been good friends for many years, and what happened last time has nothing to do with him.
"Sister Qin, who is this?" Zhou Mingxiu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, and Qin Chuchu remembered that he should introduce everyone to each other first.
"This is Du Ruo, a good friend I have known for many years," Qin Chu introduced Du Ruo to Zhou Mingxiu with a smile, his voice was full of tenderness, then turned to Du Ruo, and introduced Zhou Mingxiu and Zhou Mingyuan to him, "This is Zhou Mingxiu. It's Zhou Mingyuan, they are siblings, our two families live on the opposite side of the same floor, and they take good care of Xiaoran and me."
"Ms. Zhou, hello. Nice to meet you." Du Ruo nodded to the siblings, and then stretched out her hand to Zhou Mingxiu.
Zhou Mingxiu was a little embarrassed, and couldn't let go of Du Ruo seeing her embarrassment.However, the other party behaved so decently, and it was not easy for him to save Sister Qin's face. After all, he was the one who asked the question first.
"Hello." Zhou Mingxiu stretched out his hand and shook Du Ruo carelessly, then immediately retracted it.
"Don't stand here stupidly, let's all sit at home." Qin Chuchu didn't see the difference between the two of them, and reminded everyone with a smile.
"Wait a minute," Du Ruo walked to the side of the car, opened the rear compartment, took out a big gift box and handed it to Gu Ran, "Of course, this is for you.
The remote control plane printed on the gift box was indeed the toy Gu Ran had always wanted, but the toy was given by a handsome uncle, so he didn't know whether he should accept it or not.
"Xiao Ran, Uncle Du specially picked a gift for you. Thank you, Uncle Du." Seeing his son's hesitation, Qin Juchu was afraid that Du Ruo would not be able to step down, so he quickly reminded Gu Ran to accept the gift.
"Thank you, Uncle Du." Gu Ran took the gift box and thanked him reluctantly.Dad is not here, he wonders if his mother will be snatched away by the handsome uncle, he is really worried.
Because there was one more person, Qin Juchu asked Zhou Mingyuan to go down and buy some semi-finished cooked food halfway through.As for Zhou Mingxiu, she kept hiding in the kitchen under the pretext of helping her because she had a grudge in her heart and refused to come out.So for a while, only Du Ruo and Gu Ran were left sitting in the living room, staring at each other.
"Beautiful uncle, can you stop robbing my mother from my father?" Gu Ran, who couldn't sit still, finally said that his father was not here, so he wanted to protect his mother for his father, and she must not be snatched away by other men.
"What if your mother chose Uncle Du?" Du Ruo asked Gu Ran without answering.
"No, my mother only has my father in her heart." Gu Ran said anxiously, hoping that the beautiful uncle could understand that mother can only belong to father.
Du Ruo smiled and patted Gu Ran's head, noncommittal to his words, but a three or four year old kid, no matter how precocious, he knows how much love between men and women, he doesn't need to be serious with him.
Qin Chuchu's dry pot chicken was very successful tonight, and everyone in the house ate it to their heart's content.Qin Chuchu was happy because his old friend came to see him, and even went to buy a few bottles of beer.But because Du Ruo had to drive later, all the wine went into the stomachs of Qin Chuchu and Zhou Mingxiu.
Both women were a little tipsy from drinking, and it was because of Du Ruo's appearance that Qin Chuchu recalled the past.Those people and things that I deliberately avoided seemed to rush towards me in an instant, and I couldn't stop them.
As for Zhou Mingxiu, it was because of He Dong's recklessness and abandonment. That indifferent and handsome man was her first love... She and Mingyuan's new home address had been sent to him for a long time, but he never came to visit. Own.
The two preoccupied women clinked glasses non-stop, laughing with the strength of alcohol, and used their laughter to cover up their inner pain and loss.
Du Ruo was a little helpless. Originally, he just wanted to visit Qin Juchu, have a good chat with her, and confide how much he missed her these days, but he didn't expect that when she got drunk, Gu Ran stared at him with hostility again. .As for the bald boy, he has been busy taking care of two drunken women.
Feeling that it would be useless for her to stay any longer, Du Ruo had no choice but to get up and say goodbye, leaving Qin Juchu's home in a hurry.Anyway, he already knew Chu Chu's whereabouts, so he could come and see her anytime.
Du Ruo's departure made Gu Ran, who had been on alert all along, heaved a sigh of relief. He helped his father again, and when he saw his father, he must let him praise himself well and choose a big gift to reward him.
As for the remote control plane given by Uncle Du, although it was very tempting, he would never touch it, because it would be disloyal to his father.Gu Ran stared at the airplane gift box Du Ruo gave him, and secretly made up his mind.
Mingyuan took care of Gu Ran to sleep that night. Qin Chuchu and Zhou Mingxiu were so drunk that Mingyuan had no choice but to help them all to sleep on the sofa in the living room. Because the bed in the bedroom was too high, he really didn’t Try to get them up there.
Since that time, Du Ruo often came to visit Qin Juchu's mother and son from time to time.Zhou Mingxiu also knew from Qin Juchu's mouth that Du Ruo was not the third party between her and Gu Chao, and his impression of him changed greatly. Not only did he lose the initial disgust, but he was even moved by his deep affection for Qin Juchu.
Sometimes when Du Ruo came, it happened that Qin Juchu was not at home, and Zhou Mingxiu would invite him to sit at home.
"You know, when we first met, Xiao Ran said that you were the one who robbed Sister Qin from his father. At that time, I thought you were the third party between their husband and wife." Zhou Mingxiu brought a glass Put warm water on the coffee table in front of Du Ruo.
Today Du Ruo came a little earlier, Qin Chuchu was still on his way home from the flower shop, originally he planned to pick up Qin Chuchu, but was resolutely rejected by Qin Chuchu, in desperation he knocked on the door of Zhou Mingxiu's house The door, intending to sit at her house for a while and wait for Qin Chuchu to come back.
"No wonder, I just said that we are meeting for the first time, why is there hostility in your eyes?" Du Ruo paused, then continued with a smile, "I thought it was because I accidentally saw you arranging your appearance." look."
"Stop! That is a gray memory of my whole life, please don't mention it again, just forget about it, Amen." Zhou Xiuming put his right index finger on the palm of his left hand, and made a stop gesture to Du Ruo.
Du Ruo shook her head and laughed amused by her exaggerated and funny language and exaggerated gestures.But he didn't know that his smile made Zhou Mingxiu lose his mind.
Zhou Mingxiu had always known that Du Ruo was a beautiful man, but he never thought that he could be so beautiful when he smiled. Although he could always see his smile, the mask-like smile was nothing compared to the genuine smile he just showed. The difference between cloud and mud.
It turned out that she was just a flirtatious woman after all. A few days ago, He Donglao was still sad, but now she was easily moved by a smile from another man.
From then on, Zhou Mingxiu seemed to have a hint of anticipation for Du Ruo's visit. Although he knew that his arrival and departure were not because of her, she still couldn't help secretly looking forward to it.
This may be the most painful kind of love in the world - secret love, but it is also the safest kind of love, because there will be no loss and betrayal.As long as you are willing, you can guard this love alone forever.
Zhou Mingxiu just quietly fell in love with Du Ruo's infatuation and love for Du Ruo's beauty, but she never wanted to possess him in the past, because she knew that Du Ruo had a deep love for Qin Juchu, and she also knew how much Qin Chuchu cared for their siblings. with pampering.
So for Du Ruo and Qin Chuchu, blessing is her only attitude.
As for my own mood, I can only pack it up, the heart hidden in the upper left, locked and dusty.Maybe one day, there will be a chance to open it again, but Zhou Mingxiu knows that when that day comes, it will be very difficult.
"Sister, why are you in a daze again? Haven't you been able to get any jobs recently?" Zhou Mingyuan waved his hands back and forth in front of Zhou Mingxiu's eyes, and asked worriedly.
"How could it be, your sister and I are high-volume writers, and I can't keep up with too much work." Zhou Mingxiu, who came back to his senses, patted his younger brother's hand away, and praised himself quite proudly.
Du Ruo came again today and brought a ruby ring to Sister Qin, but she was rejected by Sister Qin. The disappointed look in Du Ruo's eyes before leaving made Zhou Mingxiu feel very distressed.
If it was me, I'm afraid I would have been overjoyed, but it's a pity that emotional matters are never one-on-one.Du Ruo loved Qin Juchu deeply, but Qin Juchu never forgot his ex-husband. Although he said resentment and hatred on his lips, he couldn't hide the look in his eyes every time he was mentioned.
As for her, she could only hide in her own world, and she felt dejected while suffering from the extremely small wounds that kept bleeding continuously.
"Sister, I found that something is wrong with you recently, is it because of He Dong, you still can't forget him?"
Of course Zhou Mingyuan didn't know what Zhou Mingxiu was thinking, because she hid it so well that even her own younger brother never noticed it.
"Of course not. He and I have long been in the past tense. Don't mention him in the future. It's getting late and go to bed." Zhou Mingxiu smiled and patted his younger brother on the shoulder, urging him to go to rest quickly. He is a patient after all.
After taking care of his younger brother to sleep, Zhou Mingxiu sat down in front of the computer again and started typing.Perhaps it was because of her crush on Du Ruo, her feelings had been pinned down, and she had tasted the taste of her crush herself, so she was particularly inspired at this time, and with the help of a god when writing, a short story of tens of thousands of words would soon be published.
Of course, in the short story, the female supporting role who had a crush on the male lead finally got her wish and got the male lead.Since it cannot be realized in real life, let her play it in her own novels.After all, this is a world where she can make decisions, and no one can doubt whether the plot is really possible, because this is just a novel.
Sister Qin is so strange today. While watering the flowers, Zhou Mingyuan kept looking at Qin Chuchu who was pruning the flower branches from time to time.
He still remembered that Sister Qin said when she taught him how to organize flowers, she was a flower lover, and although what she was doing was pruning flowers, it was not to speed up the demise of flowers, but to let these beautiful flowers in When I am at my most prosperous, I will present myself in front of those who need and like it the most with my best appearance.
So every time Sister Qin is arranging the flowers, she always looks calm, with an intoxicating smile, as if she is communicating with the flowers, but today, she is uncharacteristically, frowning tightly, and sighing from time to time .
They look just like my sister last night, what happened to them?Thinking about it, Zhou Mingyuan's brows slowly frowned.
At this time, Qin Chuchu was upset, and he was not as calm as usual when he did things.Du Ruo's appearance caused another disturbance in Xinhu, which she had finally calmed down.
Yesterday, Du Ruo proposed to herself again. Although she had already made up her mind to reject him at that time, Du Ruo's hurt eyes made her blame herself.
She didn't want to fall into the previous predicament again, with Du Ruo on one side and Gu Chao on the other, and she was caught in the middle of a dilemma, exhausted.
During these days, she took Xiaoran by herself and lived a peaceful life. Although she still felt heartbroken when she thought of the child who died young, at least she was not as hysterical as at the beginning.
She cherishes the peaceful days now, and she doesn't want this rare tranquility to be disturbed by anyone.But Du Ruo's unchanging affection put a lot of pressure on her. Du Ruo's melancholy and hurt eyes always made her feel that she was an unforgivable villain.
She didn't know how long she could resist, and if Du Ruo proposed next time, would she be able to ruthlessly refuse.
During this period of time, Du Ruo would come to Qin Chuchu's place for dinner basically whenever he had time.As a result, Qin Juchu's originally small home seemed even more crowded, and the small dining table was always full of people every day, making it extraordinarily lively.
Every time he still brings gifts to Gu Ran, although he has never seen Gu Ran open these gifts, perseverance has always been his greatest strength, or it should be said that he doesn't know what else he can do besides persistence.
Qin Juchu knew that Du Ruo would not give up easily just because of his one refusal, so every time he got along with him, he was always a little uncomfortable, and he felt a little bit like an underdog.As long as she felt that there was something wrong with Du Ruo's words, she would immediately change the topic, or simply leave temporarily with an excuse.
Du Ruo naturally saw all these reactions of hers, but she could only smile bitterly in her heart. After all these years of getting along, Chu Chu still didn't understand herself.Even if he is longing for it, as long as Qin Chuchu has the slightest reluctance, he will never force it.
Sometimes he also wonders if it is because of this reason that he has not been able to get Chu Chu, but he can't do it if he is forced to do Chu Chu like Gu Chao.
He always respected Qin Juchu.
Du Ruo's affection, Qin Juchu could not accept it, but Qin Juchu could turn a blind eye to Du Ruo's pain.But there was one who could not remain indifferent.
After dinner, when Du Ruo was about to leave, Zhou Mingxiu followed him out with an excuse.
"Miss Zhou, I'm leaving first."
Du Ruo walked to his car, unlocked the car with the remote control, and was about to get in the car.
"Everyone is so familiar, they can be regarded as friends, why do you keep calling Ms. Zhou such a stranger, and just call me Mingxiu from now on."
"Okay, Mingxiu." Du Ruo smiled as she wished. He has always been a kind person who treats everyone with a humble and polite attitude but gives people a slight sense of alienation.
Perhaps it was this kind of desire to get close to him that made Zhou Mingxiu more fascinated by him.Every inch of Du Ruo's body is a story that attracts her.
"Mingxiu, is there anything else?"
Du Ruo spoke again, interrupting Zhou Mingxiu's thoughts, and then she remembered her purpose of following him down, "Oh, I want to give you this book."
Zhou Mingxiu handed Du Ruo a book with a silver-white cover, which included several short stories of hers. There were a few sentences in the short stories that she had always wanted to say to Du Ruo, but she didn't have the courage to say them.
"Did you write it, great writer?" Du Ruo took the book with a smile, and said a rare witty word.
"What, it's just a few collections, all my friends have given them away, you can read them if you have time." Zhou Mingxiu explained with his hands in the back pockets of his trousers, trying to let himself give them away. The behavior of the book does not appear abrupt.
"I will definitely take a good look at it, thank you." Du Ruo nodded, speaking with a very serious expression, Zhou Mingxiu seemed to be able to feel the sincerity in his words.
"Won't you ask me to sign it for you? Maybe you can sell it for a good price in the future." Zhou Mingxiu tilted his head, winked at Du Ruo, and said mischievously.
"I can't ask for it." Du Ruo presented the book with both hands, and actually waited for Zhou Mingxiu to sign it for him.
"Okay, let's talk about it when I really become a great writer." Zhou Mingxiu laughed and waved his hands, carefully expressing his concern for the man in front of him, "It's getting late, you should go back early, drive on the road be careful."
"Thank you for your book." Du Ruo nodded, turned and opened the car door, started the car and left.
Zhou Mingxiu stood quietly at the same spot, watching his car go away, until he couldn't see it anymore, then turned around and went upstairs reluctantly.I hope that he can really see what I want to tell him.
"Gu Chao, where did you hide Ju Chu?"
On this day, when Gu Chao came out of his residence, an unexpected person appeared in front of him, blocking his way of love.
"Wu Jinpeng, you don't deserve to talk to me." Gu Chao cast a contemptuous glance at the man in front of him, and passed him directly.
"Gu Chao, you will pay for your arrogance today." Before Gu Chao got into the car, Wu Jinpeng dropped these words.
Gu Chao raised the corner of his mouth mockingly, and sneered at Wu Jinpeng's threat.Gu Chao didn't pay attention to this shameless person who climbed up through nepotism.
"Gu Chao, mom is sick and is alone in the hospital, can you go back to City A to be with mom?"
Gu Chao received a call from Zhao Ke. Zhao Ke's voice sounded very tired on the phone, and Gu Chao's heart felt sore when he heard it.I am busy with the company and looking for Qin Chuchu, but I haven't cared about my mother for a long time.
Although she blamed Qin Juchu for having a miscarriage in her heart, after all, she was the mother who gave birth to her. Now that she is divorced from her father, it must be a very hard life for her to live alone.
"Mom, I'll go back to see you tomorrow."
It was a rare time that Gu Chao listened to his mother like this, Zhao Ke hung up the phone, tears began to flow down, she was as strong as her, but after losing her husband and family, she became as fragile as an ordinary woman.
Two days ago, she accidentally contracted acute pneumonia. She was hospitalized alone, and her heart was unprecedentedly bleak.Fortunately, she still has a son named Gu Chao. Thinking of seeing her son tomorrow, Zhao Ke wiped away her tears and showed a reassuring smile.
"Mr. Gu, the person behind the animation base project has been found out."
He hung up on his mother's phone when He Dong called.
"Okay, let's meet again. I'm on my way to the Champs-Elysees Hotel. You can go to Room 601 and find me later." Gu Chao invited a few business partners to chat at the Champs-Elysees Hotel today. Better business.
Lifting the Rolex on his wrist, the hour hand points to 10:[-], which is still early for the time agreed with the client, which should be enough for him to talk about things with He Dong.
"Okay, I'll go now."
Originally, He Dong and Gu Chao lived together, but recently, due to frequent accidents in the company recently, both of them are running around day and night, and basically have no time to go back to the hotel where they live.Wherever it is convenient, rest nearby.
"Zhizhong, come to room 601 of the Champs-Elysees right now, there is something important." After hanging up He Dong's phone, Gu Chao seemed to remember something, and dialed Fan Zhizhong's cell phone again.
"Who is behind the scenes?"
In room 601 of the Champs-Elysees, Gu Chao was lazily sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed on the coffee table. He was so tired these days that he could fall asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.
However, he likes the current state very much. At least his work fills in his lack of Qin Chuchu's disappearance. He has no time to think about Qin Chuchu and temporarily forgets the pain of losing the one he loves.
"A company named Jinchu." He Dong's cold voice came from the room, the schedule was so full that he didn't even have time to drink water, so when he came to the room, the first thing he did was Go to the pantry to pour water.
"Jin Chu..." Gu Chao silently read the name, a playful smile gradually surfaced on his face, he thought he already knew who was behind the scenes.
"Wu Jinpeng is behind the scenes." Gu Chao didn't have too much eyesight, and said this sentence with certainty. He didn't use interrogative sentences, but affirmative sentences.
"Yes, Mr. Gu guessed right. It was this guy who used the small company registered with other legal persons to incite some other companies interested in the animation base land, and kept putting pressure on the government of City B."
He Dong drank a glass of ice water in one breath, then poured another glass in his hand, and walked slowly to the sofa where Gu Chao was sitting.
Gu Chao looked longingly at the ice water in He Dong's hand, "I want it too."
He Dong looked at Gu Chao, passed the water glass to his boss with a blank expression, then stood up and poured himself another glass.He knew that Gu Chao's schedule was fuller than his own, so his hard work was definitely not inferior to his own.
"Have you thought about how to deal with him?" Gu Chao drank the ice water in one gulp, and recovered a little bit of energy.
"Wu Jinpeng has deliberately expanded his business scope over the years, and he has done a lot of bad things. As long as we put in a little effort, it will not be difficult to catch him. If Mr. Gu is willing, we can make him lose his life forever. "He Dong said calmly, with a calm tone as if he was talking about today's weather.
"I'll leave this matter to you," Gu Chao nodded, he was quite aware of his assistant's ability, "My mother is sick, I have to go back to City A tomorrow, it may take some time Come back and contact me at any time if there is any situation."
"Okay, young lady, is there still no news?"
When Qin Chuchu was mentioned, Gu Chao's expression immediately became gloomy.He shook his head and sighed helplessly, "Mumu probably will avoid me for the rest of his life."
"Don't be discouraged, City B is not big, there will always be a day when we meet," He Dong's words were not so much comforting Gu Chao, but rather encouraging himself. "Didn't you say that you saw a flower shop named Ruichu last time, and you suspected that it was the new flower shop opened by the young lady?"
"But then I went to that neighborhood several times, but I never saw that flower shop again." Gu Chao frowned with a headache, not understanding why the street disappeared out of thin air. Could it be that what he saw that day was just Is it a hallucination caused by missing Mumu too much?
"By the way, is there any news about Yuanyuan?"
He Dong smiled wryly and shook his head, Yuanyuan disappeared too completely, finding her was no less difficult than finding the young lady.
"Boss, why did you call me here?"
Fan Zhizhong's voice sounded by the door, and after seeing He Dong in the room, his expression became ugly.
"Sit." Gu Chao pointed to the seat next to He Dong, signaling Fan Zhizhong to sit down.
Fan Zhizhong reluctantly walked to He Dong's side, and sat on a corner of the sofa as far away from him as possible.
"Okay, we've worked together for so many years, there's no need to do this for a woman." The reason why Gu Chao called Fan Zhizhong was to resolve the knot between him and He Dong. Isn't there a hot fight with Mumu's best friend now, so there's no need to fight with He Dong over Yuanyuan's matter to the point of never getting in touch with each other."
"Boss, nothing can escape your eyes." Fan Zhizhong resumed his usual playful smile, and began to flatter Gu Chaolai.
In fact, what Gu Chao said was right, he had already forgiven He Dong in his heart, after all, he had always had a wishful love with Yuanyuan, and Yuanyuan had never reciprocated his feelings.Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Yuanyuan likes He Dong.
What he was angry about was that since He Dong had already made Yuanyuan pregnant with his own child, why did he hide it from his brother? The most hateful thing was that He Dong had another girlfriend after having Yuanyuan. He is very upset.
