The residential complex in the distance looks a bit older, with its exterior walls mottled and dark, and occasionally large areas of brickwork peeling off, revealing the cement background inside.
At the entrance of the community, there are several trash cans standing crookedly. The garbage pile inside popped up, and a lot of it overflowed and fell on the road outside. I don't know what was contained in it, and meandering water stains were faintly exposed from the bottom of the barrel.
There was a man in ragged clothes who looked like a homeless man, rummaging back and forth among the trash cans, looking for something.
Even though we were separated by a road, we could still smell the faint smell of garbage.
Gu Huaizhi held a cigarette in his mouth and suddenly shook his head, feeling that his behavior at the moment was really ridiculous.
This is the life I have lived since I was born. A child of an aristocratic family, the son of Yunshang, he has never had to work for a living since he was a child.
Why do people like him stand here, confused and at a loss in front of such a dilapidated community, not knowing what to do.
He thought about it at this moment, and felt that he must have been distracted by Xu Nanxing's good looks, or that the wine tonight was too intoxicating, which made him lose his temper like this.
The cigarette on his fingertips had already piled up long ash, and Gu Huaizhi pushed back the money for the driver, "You keep the money, please send me to Nanshan Villa."
The driver scratched his head, nodded again, and got into the car again with his own set of equipment.
Gu Huaizhi threw the cigarette butt on the ground, ran over it with his feet, turned around and got into the car.
-
Xu Nanxing sent Xiaoni out and then limped back to his room.
The phone was out of battery. She charged it up and glanced at the envelope next to the phone. She picked it up, opened it and took a rough look. She estimated that it should be ten thousand yuan.
Including the money Jing Ming transferred to her that night, she received more than 20,000 yuan. This may be the only thing that makes her happy recently.
The phone automatically turned on when it had enough power. It kept buzzing and vibrating. Xu Nanxing took a peek and saw a lot of messages flashing into the standby interface.
The top one shows Liu Lili’s message.
She clicked it and Liu Lili's voice came out.
[Nan Xing, when are you coming over to take physical classes and professional classes? 】
Then the next one automatically played.
【Why don't you reply? Are you still angry with me? Nan Xing, you also have to understand my sister’s difficulties. If the incident between you and Mr. Gu hadn’t spread, you wouldn’t have been the one to take over Jingmeng. I had already said hello to the assistant director, but who knew this would happen halfway through? ! Why……】
With a long sigh, Xu Nanxing could hear Liu Lili's helplessness on the phone.
After these days, she finally figured it out. Liu Lili simply asked her to rest at home, which was actually a disguised form of protection for her. The rumors in the circle are so miraculous, if she continues to show her face, people will talk about it from time to time.
She didn't reply and continued reading the messages.
Lin Qingying sent a WeChat message and asked her when she had time. She wanted to ask her to go shopping. She said that she was joining the group and wanted to buy some supplies.
Xu Nanxing threw the phone on the table and rolled his eyes at nothing.
She entered Morning Star at the same time as Lin Qingying. Lin Qingying had a gentler personality and was very gentle in dealing with people. It was completely different from her carefree personality. She once liked talking and shopping with her.
But since the last Boya dinner, she always felt that Lin Qingying had some vague hostility towards her. At first she thought it was because she had changed the song temporarily, but Lin Qingying was unwilling.
But later, on the day when she found out the results of the Jingmeng audition, she said goodbye to Nina and did not go directly back to her lounge. Instead, she turned to Lin Qingying. She felt that she should still say congratulations to her, but unexpectedly she heard her getting angry. the sound of.
"Why was she dismissed as me? Am I much worse than her? Sister Lili, tell me, how am I inferior to her? Am I not as beautiful as her or not as talented as her? Why..."
"Sister Lili, why can't I compare to her? She just has a charming face that makes men unable to walk. Li Bowen is not enough, there is also Gu Huai... "
Liu Lili's scolding voice came out, "You are really out of your mind!"
Xu Nanxing remembered standing there in shock. She had always regarded Lin Qingying as a friend, but she never thought that she actually thought of herself this way.
She felt that Liu Lili's scolding words seemed to be talking about herself. She was really confused!
Xu Nanxing sat there and thought for a while. Her current situation meant that she could not return to the company to attend classes for the time being. She had not thought about how to face Liu Lili and Lin Qingying.
After thinking for a moment, she sent a message back to Lin Qingying,
[I'm sorry, Qingying, I've been a little busy lately and don't have time to spend time with you. 】
Then he typed a few more words to Liu Lili,
[Sister Lili, my phone has been broken for the past two days and I haven’t seen your message. 】
I didn’t say I would go back, and I didn’t say I wouldn’t go back.
There is no news coming in from there anymore.
Xu Nanxing suddenly remembered the email she sent to her senior brother a few days ago. She opened her computer and clicked on the mailbox to take a look.
There were several spam emails in it. She opened it and glanced at it. They were all advertisements and information pushed by members. There were two more at the bottom. One was from her best friend Lu Lixue, and the other was from her senior brother. .
She clicked on the one sent by Lu Lixue first.
After graduating from university, Lu Lixue went to study abroad. Xu Nanxing usually performs in the evening, and Lu Lixue's place happens to be in class, so they usually communicate by email, sending each other updates on their recent daily lives, telling interesting things that happened, and occasionally video chatting. Watch See how each other is doing.
Lu Lixue said in the email that she would be returning to China soon. Xu Nanxing was very happy and felt like she had another person to rely on.
Despite her family background, Lu Lixue never looked down on her. Instead, they became good friends who talked about everything because of their similar temperaments.
She replied to the email and asked Lu Lixue about the specific time of returning to China and wanted to pick her up.
After waiting for a while, a line of text was typed over there, with specific time and flight information.
She grinned, this time she finally had someone to talk to about her happy and sad things.
Moving the mouse, she clicked on her senior brother's email and read it carefully line by line. The corners of her mouth that were still smiling gradually froze there.
At this moment, Xu Nanxing finally knew what it means to be extremely happy and sad.
The senior brother said in the email that he helped to find out the latest situation of Inbone and Autobos. At present, sales have been opened in China, and it is exclusively licensed to a domestic pharmaceutical company. She looked at those four words and wanted to say to God, could you please stop playing with yourself like this?
The four big characters on the email read, Ruigu Medicine.
No wonder the promotional brochure that appeared at home that day only had the signature of Rego Pharmaceuticals printed on it. No wonder she asked many people to inquire about it later and they all said they had never heard of any other company that represented these two brands.
Even the last bit of hope was lost.
Originally, she thought money was the big problem, but now it seems that besides money, which is the easiest thing to do, other things are the biggest difficulties for her.
Even after going around in circles, he still couldn't get around Gu Huaizhi.
Xu Nanxing sat there slumped, an indescribable feeling of loss gradually exploded from the bottom of his heart and spread throughout his body.
The image of him beating Gu Huaizhi in the morning was still vivid in his mind, but he turned around and was about to beg him to help him. That kind of personality fragmentation appeared in her body again, with resistance on one side and compromise on the other.
After turning off the computer, she moved back to the bed with difficulty. Although her ankle was swollen, it was stretched and painful due to the momentary movement.
As soon as I sat down on the bed, there was the sound of rushing water outside, then the sound of the washbasin falling to the ground, and Xu Silan's deliberately suppressed exclamation.
Xu Nanxing stood up and jumped to open the door.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Xu Songlan's panicked voice came over, "Go to bed and rest quickly."
Xu Nanxing looked at the slightly steaming water on the ground, and noticed Xu Songlan's movements. She endured the pain and moved over.
"Sister, show me your hands."
"It's okay, it's just that the water scalded it, but nothing happened." Xu Sionglan hid her hands behind her, "Is your foot okay? Go back and lie down."
Xu Nanxing held the handle of the wheelchair and grabbed her hand.
The eyes were blindingly red, and the back of Xu Sionglan's hand was already a little swollen. Xu Nanxing quickly used his strength to push the wheelchair to the edge of the pool, turned on the cold water, and soaked Xu Sionglan's hand in it.
"Sister, if you need anything, you can call me and I'll help you. You may burn your hands."
Xu Silan lowered her head, "Nan Xing, I'm causing trouble for you."
Xu Nanxing couldn't bear to hear such words. She sighed, "Sister, don't keep talking about whether it's troublesome or not. We are relatives. Isn't it my duty to take care of you?"
"Nan Xing, I really feel that I am quite useless." Xu Sionglan suppressed the sobs in her throat, "Even the simplest thought of pouring a basin of water to wipe your body can lead to this."
Xu Nanxing's heart felt sour, and the circles around her eyes gradually became moist. She looked at the flowing water and was silent for a few seconds, then said as if she had made up her mind,
"Sister, I will let you stand up... From now on, you will be a normal person and don't say such things again."
"Nan Xing, what I said is wrong." Xu Songlan wiped her eyes and explained anxiously, "That's not what I meant. You don't want to... I just don't want to drag you down anymore..."
"Sister...Nanxing, sister..." Xu Songlan's tears were pouring out, and she was so anxious that she was incoherent. She didn't know what she said, and she didn't know how to let her sister understand what she was thinking.
In the end, she could only cry and hold Xu Nanxing's hand tightly.
Xu Nanxing's heart was as sharp as a knife, and she could see the flash of determination in her sister's eyes. She had already lost her father and mother, and she could not lose her sister again.
After holding her sister's hand back, Xu Nanxing could no longer hold back her tears. The two sisters cried together in this lonely night.
