After sending Gu Huaizhi away, Xu Nanxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When she was alone with him, her head was always on edge, and she didn't dare to relax at all. She was very afraid that if she offended him with a word, the good deal might be ruined again.
Now that she has seen hope, she doesn't want to let go. Even if she has to wait a long time, she is still willing.
On the way back, she asked Xu Zhinian curiously,
"Assistant Xu, why didn't you go with me this time?"
Xu Zhinian thought that he didn't want to go together, but when he got up in the morning, he received a call from Gu Huaizhi, asking him to stay in Jingzhou to deal with some things. He didn't say anything on the phone, only that he should go to Nanshan Villa to pick him up first.
Isn't it clear what's going on?
But he thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say that with his mouth.
"Mr. Gu has something else to tell me."
Xu Nanxing nodded and glanced at Xu Zhinian again, seeing that he had also just looked away.
She looked in the rearview mirror and said to him,
"You must think that I am a vain person, right?"
Xu Zhinian looked at the road ahead, smiled and shook his head, "Miss Xu, I have never thought about it that way."
"If it was another girl who had such trouble with him, she would definitely not come back to him or even bargain with him on terms. Even if you really miss me that way, it's normal."
The rising sun cast a dazzling light, slanting in through the car window, which was very dazzling. Xu Nanxing raised his hand to cover his face, looked out the window and murmured.
Xu Zhinian sighed in his heart, but did not respond to Xu Nanxing's words.
If other girls had such a quarrel with the boss, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to look back. The chance to look back shows that Xu Nanxing is different.
The road in the early morning was easy to walk, and the expressway went smoothly. Soon we arrived at Fengyayuan, where Xu Nanxing lived. Before getting off the car, Xu Zhinian called her.
"Ms. Xu, when can you give me the contract you signed with Morning Star? After I get it, I have to show it to the legal department. If there is no problem, I will discuss the termination of the contract."
Xu Nanxing recalled that the contract should be kept at home. She looked at the time and saw that it was just seven o'clock.
"Assistant Xu, could you please wait for me here? I'll go upstairs and look for it, and then I'll bring it down to you."
The sooner the contract was terminated, the better, and she didn't want to delay it any longer.
Chenxing has obviously weighed the pros and cons, and there is no point in her staying any longer. Why not take this opportunity to sign with the Gu family, maybe she can find another piece of life.
Since we have already made an agreement with Gu Huaizhi, we might as well let nature take its course.
Xu Zhinian's work in the morning was not so stressful, so he agreed and waited outside the community.
When Xu Nanxing got home, Xu Sionglan was washing up in the bathroom. She heard a voice and asked,
"South Star?"
"Ah, sister, it's me." Xu Nanxing changed her shoes and went into her room, rummaging through the bookcase for the contract. She looked up and down but couldn't find it, so she shouted,
"Sister, have you tidied my room?"
She remembered that she should have put the contract on the bookshelf at that time. Her sister must have packed it away while she was away.
"Ah, I was cleaning it up for you a few days ago." Xu Songlan came over in a wheelchair, "What are you looking for?"
"I have a contract that I can't find."
Xu Sionglan went over and took out a pile of documents from the drawer and handed them to her, "Look if there are any in here?"
Xu Nanxing flipped through a few pages and found the contract.
"Sister, how do you manage to be so tall? What if you fall?"
Xu Songlan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm very careful. Now I practice doing these housework at home every day. I guess if I practice for a while, I can do everything by myself. I can also take care of you, Nan Xing .”
Xu Nanxing knelt down and held Xu Songlan’s hand.
"Sister, wait for me, we will live a good life!"
Xu Silan touched the top of her head and said, "I know, don't work too hard."
The contract was handed over to Xu Zhinian. Xu Nanxing watched his car drive away, turned to the snack bar across the street, bought the fried dough sticks and steamed dumplings that Xu Silan liked, and then walked slowly home.
The warm sunshine shines on the body, making it warm.
People doing morning exercises in the community have formed a team in twos and threes, and they are gesticulating in a decent manner. The parents who are sending their children off in the morning are holding their children and urging them anxiously. Xu Nanxing looks at this ordinary atmosphere of life, feeling joy for no reason, and suddenly It seemed like something broke through the hard shell and came out from the bottom of my heart, gradually spreading throughout my body.
That is hope and new life.
Xu Zhinian was very efficient in his work. He sent a message to Xu Nanxing the next day, saying that he had negotiated the termination of the contract.
Xu Nanxing asked on the phone when she could sign a contract with Gu. Xu Zhinian was stunned for a moment and said he would ask Gu Huaizhi before telling her.
Not long after, Xu Nanxing received a call from Gu Huaizhi.
At that time, she was buying vegetables in the vegetable market, and there was a lot of people coming and going. On the phone, his voice came to her word by word,
"I heard from Zhinian that you are in a hurry to sign the contract?"
Xu Nanxing held the phone on his shoulder and handed the money to the vegetable seller with one hand free.
"I'm anxious to make money, otherwise how can I pay for the prosthesis? Hey, sister, didn't you just give me two yuan off?"
The vegetable seller did the math again and smiled sheepishly, "I made a mistake. Here is your change."
Xu Nanxing took the money and said "hello", but there was no sound on the other end of the phone.
She took the phone off and looked at it. The call was still there. She asked the other side of the phone again, "Gu Huaizhi? Are you still there?"
"Um."
The man responded lazily,
"I gave you so much money, why are you still bargaining with people at the vegetable market?"
Xu Nanxing's mind flashed back to what he said that night when he gave her so much money and then gave the photo to Shen Ruzhen because she was too greedy, and he asked hesitantly,
"Gu Huaizhi, I said before that I have returned the money to you, you..."
Gu Huaizhi frowned on the other end of the phone, thinking that she was going to show off her temper again.
"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. I will be delayed for a few days. When Chenxing's contract termination is over, you can contact Xu Zhinian to take you to Gu's side to sign a contract."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Huaizhi called Xu Zhinian and explained the signing of Xu Nanxing's contract. Before hanging up, he asked Xu Zhinian,
"Has Xu Nanxing given you anything in the past two years?"
Xu Zhinian recalled it, and it seemed that it really existed.
It was two months after Xu Nanxing left Nanshan Villa. The front desk of the company once handed him an EMS, saying it was sent to Mr. Gu.
He took a look at it and saw that the sender was Xu Nanxing, so he gave it to Gu Huaizhi.
As a result, Gu Huaizhi opened it and saw an envelope inside. Without even looking at it, he threw it back to him and asked him to take it and burn it. At that time, Gu Huaizhi was still angry with Xu Nanxing. How dare he burn it? If he came to ask for it later, where would he get it? When she sent Gu Huaizhi home that night, she gave it to the nanny, Sister Ying, and asked her to find a safe place to store it when she was cleaning up the study, so that Gu Huaizhi would not be able to find it when he was looking for it later.
I don't know if Gu Huaizhi is talking about the envelope.
"I have the impression that there is, but when I brought it to you, you asked me to burn it."
Gu Huaizhi was silent on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, thinking about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
Xu Zhinian wanted to say something more, but the call was hung up. He shook his head at the phone. He had to go to Nanshan Villa tomorrow to see if he could find that thing.
After hanging up the phone, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out the window. It was raining heavily outside, and there were rumbles of thunder in the distance accompanied by streaks of silver light. His heart became more and more unsettled.
Did you blame Xu Nanxing for something?
After the night he had a high fever, he had an unexplainable feeling for Xu Nanxing. He didn't make any arrangements for the two nights she came to class every week and went home early, just to see her one more time.
Even when he came home late for a few days, he even used lame excuses to lie to her, saying that he was going out to socialize and take her down the mountain on the way. In fact, it was just to stay with her for a while longer.
He wanted to tell her his feelings directly, but he was afraid of scaring her.
However, he also enjoyed the secret ambiguity.
That night when he drove her down the mountain, he asked her, "What should you do if you have something you want to say to someone but can't say it face to face?"
She blinked at the interplay of light and shadow in the co-pilot's eyes, "Then write a letter!"
He still remembers the curve of the corners of her mouth, and the playful pear dimples hanging at the corners of her mouth, which was indescribably lively and bright.
Looking back now, maybe the envelope that was mailed contained the words she wanted to say to him but couldn't.
The more Xu Zhinian thought about it on the way home from get off work, the more he felt that it was not possible. He turned the car and parked the car on the side of the road, and contacted the housekeeper of Nanshan Villa.
The housekeeper told him Sister Ying's contact information, and he called Sister Ying again.
Sister Ying told him on the phone that she had left the things in the study. She would contact Chen Mingxi to help find them and waited for Xu Zhinian to pick them up.
Xu Zhinian breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to Nanshan Villa without any delay.
When they arrived at Nanshan Villa, Chen Mingxi was cooking for Gu Yufei, and she quickly turned off the fire when he came in.
"Assistant Xu, I thought you would pick it up tomorrow."
Gu Yufei was playing with something in the living room. When she saw Xu Zhinian coming, she shouted to him, "Uncle Zhinian, come play chess with me. My uncle is on a business trip and is so bored."
Xu Zhinian wanted to get the things and leave, but when he saw the expectant look in Gu Yufei's eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse her, so he walked over.
"Okay, I'll stay with you for the next round. I'll have to leave later if I have something else to do."
After speaking, he said to Chen Mingxi,
"Please help me pick it up and bring it down."
Chen Mingxi nodded, turned and went upstairs.
Opening the door of the study room, the front wall on one side was covered with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. There was a faint smell of sandalwood in the room. Chen Mingxi looked around. There were incense-burning utensils beside the tea table by the window. It should be Gu Huai's. Like it.
This was the first time she entered Gu Huaizhi's study, and she felt secretly happy that she was one step closer to him.
She found the envelope in the location her mother told her.
There was a thin page of paper and something like a card inside. Curious in her heart, she opened the envelope.
After quickly reading the letter, Chen Mingxi felt a sense of joy in her heart. Originally, she was thinking about how to guide Shen Ruzhen to say the words that could be used as evidence when she met with Shen Ruzhen, but now it was delivered to her door.
She stuffed the letter into her apron pocket and went downstairs.
When they went downstairs, the chess game between Xu Zhinian and Gu Yufei had not ended yet. Chen Mingxi stood aside and watched for a while. The black and white chess pieces surrounded each other. You are in me, and I am in you. It seems that the winner is determined, but there are dangers everywhere. Another chance.
For her at this moment, everything was going in the direction she expected step by step. Everything she wanted and the person she wanted would come to her step by step...
"Uncle Zhinian, you lost." Gu Yufei clapped her hands happily, "Sister Mingxi, am I good?"
Chen Mingxi responded with a smile, "Awesome, awesome!"
Xu Zhinian stood up and said, "Okay, it's time for me to leave. I'll play chess with you another day."
Upon seeing this, Chen Mingxi sent Xu Zhinian out and handed over the envelope he was holding.
Xu Zhinian took the envelope and looked at Chen Mingxi with some hesitation, but saw that she had an open face. He thought for a moment, held back what he was saying, and said goodbye to Chen Mingxi.
Chen Mingxi sent Xu Zhinian away, arranged for Gu Yufei to eat, found an excuse to go back to the room, opened the letter and entered the network disk address at the end of the letter, and then entered the password, which showed that the login was successful.
There is only an audio file in it.
She clicked it and listened to it again, and then she felt relieved.
