As soon as Gu Xiwan walked into the bathroom, a woman wearing hotel work clothes appeared out of nowhere and bumped into Gu Xiwan.
Seeing that Gu Xiwan almost fell due to the collision, the woman hurriedly supported Gu Xiwan and said apologetically,
"Little sister, I was in a hurry to get back to work and didn't notice you coming in. I'm really sorry."
Gu Xiwan didn't like to argue with others, let alone a woman's sincere attitude. She simply said "It's okay" and walked into the private room to relieve herself.
Gu Xiwan didn't see that as soon as she turned around, the apologetic expression on the woman's face disappeared and she revealed a successful smile.
The woman's bump into Gu Xiwan was not accidental, but intentional.
After she bumped into Gu Xiwan, she pretended to help Gu Xiwan and quietly stole the cell phone that Gu Xiwan had put in his pocket.
In the next few seconds, the woman turned off Gu Xiwan's phone neatly and skillfully, and used her own phone to take a photo of Gu Xiwan's phone in the "powering off" state, and then posted a message on WeChat Open a dialog box with "Ms. Chu" and quickly send a message,
"I have succeeded, please transfer the remaining commission to me."
Almost as soon as the woman sent this message, "Miss Chu" transferred a sum of money to her.
After the woman took the money, she immediately cleared the chat history with "Miss Chu", then threw Gu Xiwan's cell phone into the trash can and walked away.
…
At this moment, Chu Lingjue was standing outside the bathroom waiting for Gu Xiwan.
Today is Chu Lingxiao’s birthday. Chu Lingxiao is already noble and elegant, just like a prince. Moreover, Chu Lingxiao knew that Gu Xiwan would come, so he specially wore a white evening gown that he had a famous French fashion designer tailor-made for him. It makes him even more dazzling;
Chu Lingjue was dressed casually as usual. When he was with Gu Xiwan, his face and eyes would occasionally show warmth. When he was alone, he was unsmiling and cold as ice. Even so, the women who came to this dinner were... Children, for some reason, they still feel that Chu Lingjue tonight is sexier and eye-catching than Chu Lingxiao.
At this time, a waiter passing by Chu Lingjue stopped and said respectfully,
"Mr. Chu, I'm sorry to bother you. I heard your cell phone ringing for a while."
Only then did Chu Lingjue notice.
It turned out that he had been holding Gu Xiwan in his arms. After Gu Xiwan left his arms and went to the bathroom, not only was his arms empty, but his heart also seemed to have a large vacancy, and he was out of his mind.
Seeing that it was a call from "mother", Chu Lingjue hurriedly picked up the call.
"Jujue, are you busy now? Can you go home?" As soon as the line was connected, Zhou Shutong's voice rang in Chu Lingjue's ears.
Chu Lingjue raised his eyes to look at the bathroom door, opened his white teeth and thin lips and said,
"I'm waiting for Wanwan, Mom, are you okay?"
"You are indeed waiting for her. Actually, it's nothing..."
Zhou Shutong's tone was strange,
"I just suddenly felt uncomfortable with my heart. Housekeeper Cheng had already called an ambulance, but I still felt uneasy. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to wait until the ambulance arrived at our house, so I... I went to see the Buddha...
Juejue, I really want to see you one last time. Can you stop waiting for Wanwan and come home to see me? "
At this moment, even Chu Lingjue, who rarely showed his true emotions, couldn't help but his thin lips trembled, and his voice was hoarse due to strong worry.
"Mom, wait for me!"
As he spoke, he already stretched out his long legs, ran through the hall at a sprint speed of 100 meters, and rushed out of the door.
In the blink of an eye, his tall figure disappeared into the night outside.
…
As early as three days ago, Gu Xiwan went to the hospital because of abdominal discomfort. After that, Gu Xiwan paid special attention to her diet according to the doctor's instructions.
Unexpectedly, even though Gu Xiwan paid attention to her diet, three days later today, her stomach began to feel uncomfortable again, and it was even worse than the time three days ago.
As a result, Gu Xiwan stayed in the bathroom for more than ten minutes.
When Gu Xiwan walked out of the bathroom, Chu Lingjue was no longer outside the bathroom door. She looked around the hall for a while, but she still couldn't find Chu Lingjue.
"Gu Xiwan, do you still remember me?"
This clear voice came from Gu Xiwan's left side at this moment.
Gu Xiwan turned around and saw a boneless girl walking towards her. The girl was around eighteen or nineteen years old, with exquisite features and a pair of large, watery eyes that were particularly clear and lively.
Gu Xiwan just wanted to find Chu Lingjue. Her eyes flicked over the girl like a dragonfly, and she shook her head casually.
"It seems we haven't met before, right?"
The girl looked aggrieved,
"No wonder my brother always says that you are different from other girls every time he mentions you to me. Really, you are so lonely...
Sister Wanwan, I am Ling Xiao's biological sister. When Ling Xiao was studying in medical school, I often went to see him. I saw you several times in medical school, but you have no impression of me at all? ? "
Gu Xiwan immediately remembered that Chu Lingxiao did have a sister who often went to school to find him. In those years, Gu Xiwan had also seen Chu Lingxiao and his sister together.
However, at that time, Gu Xiwan's mind was not on Chu Lingxiao at all, so she had never observed what Chu Lingxiao's sister looked like.
She smiled apologetically,
"I'm sorry, I remembered you. Your name is Chu Xiyan, right?"
"Yes, Sister Wanwan, it turns out you remember me, I'm so happy!" Chu Xiyan's beautiful little face was filled with a sweet smile. She took Gu Xiwan's hand and said enthusiastically,
"Sister Wanwan, the people my brother invited are almost here. Look, my brother has already put on his birthday hat. He will cut the birthday cake soon. Let's go over and accompany him."
"Okay, but I'm waiting for someone..."
Gu Xiwan glanced at Chu Lingjue's previous location again.
Before, Chu Lingjue always held her in his arms when he was with her. Being traditional in her bones, she always wanted to distance herself from Chu Lingjue because she didn't want to be too close to Chu Lingjue in front of others;
At this moment, Chu Lingjue disappeared, but Gu Xiwan suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness and helplessness...
"The person you are waiting for is Brother Ling Jue, right?"
Chu Xiyan pointed outside the hall,
"About ten minutes ago, I saw Brother Ling Jue running outside from here. Brother Ling Jue and I have known each other since childhood. I have never seen him so panicked. I thought he must be in an emergency. However, I believe Brother Ling Jue will come back, Sister Wanwan, let’s leave him alone for now and let’s go over and cut the cake with my brother.”
Chu Xiyan took Gu Xiwan and left.
Gu Xiwan pushed Chu Xiyan's hand away and said calmly,
"you go first."
Without waiting for Chu Xiyan to reply, she quickly ran towards the door of the hall.
