...
Gu Miaomiao originally thought she was getting better, but unexpectedly she started to have a low fever intermittently at noon.
She was lying on the bed in a daze and heard the sound of the door opening:
"Yuelan? My throat feels dry. Can you pour me some water?"
The man sitting by the bed silently poured her a glass of water and brought it to her.
She was helped by a strong hand to sit up, her eyes were blurred, and she smelled the bitter woody fragrance, and her mind was half awake in an instant.
"why you."
Gu Miaomiao's lips turned pale and she pushed Gu Xiuyuan's hand away, resisting the water he handed her.
She turned her face sideways, as if she didn't expect him to come.
Swallowing through my dry throat.
...
...
Gu Xiuyuan touched her forehead with his hand and found that it was still hot.
"Didn't you take your medicine properly this morning? Didn't I tell them before?" He put the water on the table without forcing him.
"Eat, I've taken the medicine." Gu Miaomiao said calmly.
She was afraid that Gu Xiuyuan would think too much.
"Yes." Gu Xiuyuan's voice was very nasal, and he sounded like he had a cold. He probably caught a cold because he always slept next to the bed when taking care of her, "Someone from the Gu family is here, and they want to apologize to you. Do you want to see them? "
Gu Xiuyuan asked her seemingly unintentionally.
"Apologise?" Gu Miaomiao took a deep breath. She would never forget the faces of those people.
"Where are they?"
"It's right down there. If you don't want to see them, I'll let them leave and never appear in front of you again."
Gu Xiuyuan's tone was gentle, but just a few words could decide the fate of the Gu family.
If Miaomiao wanted to meet and the Gu family could apologize to Miaomiao's satisfaction, he would be willing to let them go.
If Miaomiao doesn't even want to see her, then there's no need.
Now, Gu Xiuyuan gave this right to her.
But Gu Miaomiao had no idea what Gu Xiuyuan did to the Gu family during the few days she left.
She thought the Gu family was just a weasel paying New Year greetings to the chicken out of kindness.
Gu Miaomiao gets a headache when she thinks of the chattering and hypocritical faces of the Gu family in her memory:
"No......"
"Don't you want to see her? I understand." Gu Xiuyuan helped her drink the water. Without saying anything else, he tucked her in and prepared to leave the room. "Then you have a good rest."
The system's voice sounded in Gu Miaomiao's mind at this moment:
"Host, Su Yanran has been detected nearby."
? ? ?
There was a thunder in Gu Miaomiao's mind. Was the heroine also inside? !
Looking at Gu Xiuyuan's retreating figure, Gu Miaomiao became a little uneasy.
Gu Miaomiao covered her chest and climbed up from the bed with difficulty.
She stretched out a trembling hand from the quilt and weakly shouted to the figure behind:
"No, I want to see... I want to hear what they have to say."
...
Yue Lan brewed a pot of good tea to entertain the three guests who came from the Gu family.
"Second sister, I don't know when Xiu Yuan will be back. Did we come a little too early?" the man asked.
Zhong Shuran gently shook the tea cup, smelling the slowly rising heat in the light green tea cup, lowered her head and took a sip of the tea in the cup:
"What's the hurry? We've all come in, why can't we see anyone?"
The man scratched his head. His anxious mind felt a little calmer, but he was still a little worried. Waiting here all the time was not an option.
So the man asked Yuelan next to him:
"When can Mr. Gu come back?"
Yuelan said: "Sorry, we don't know the specific time."
"Not sure?" The man was a little confused, but when Yue Lan said this, he really had no choice but to smile and say:
"Well, if Mr. Gu comes back, could you please pass the message to us? It's not a problem for us to wait here."
"Okay." Yuelan agreed.
Zhong Shuran raised her eyebrows, covered the tea lid, placed the tea cup on the table, took the hand of the little girl sitting next to her and said:
"Yanran, thank you very much for sending the two of us here today. I will have to trouble you to send us back later. Gu's family has been busy lately, and it's thanks to your help that you are kind and calm. I'm watching Just like it.”
"Mrs. Zhong, you're welcome."
Su Yanran smiled shyly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea to cover up her restlessness.
She was originally going to wait for Mrs. Zhong and the two of them in the car, but Mrs. Zhong was too kind to refuse, so she followed them.
"Look, you said I shouldn't be polite, but you became polite first and called me Mrs. Zhong?" Zhong Shuran patted the back of her hand and said with a kind smile, "Didn't you say before, call me aunt? That’s it.”
"Aunt...Mrs. Zhong, this isn't appropriate." Su Yanran frowned her beautiful and slender eyebrows, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
Su Yanran is just an accountant in Mrs. Zhong's company. To put it bluntly, the relationship between the two is just a superior and subordinate, not to mention that they will no longer be superiors anymore.
Mrs. Zhong’s company is actually a secondary subsidiary of Gusheng Group.
She relied on Mrs. Zhong's appreciation of her to get the opportunity to study abroad, so she has always been very grateful to Mrs. Zhong.
However, Mrs. Zhong has been basically ignored recently.
Gusheng Group seems to have gone through a major shake-up and directly parachuted another CEO to the company.
It is easy to imagine that Mrs. Zhong will be ruthlessly kicked out of the company by the airborne CEO before long.
This time, Mrs. Zhong asked her to drive them to Gu's house, as if to solve this matter.
"What's inappropriate about this? I've been optimistic about you since you joined the company, and that's why I've been keeping you around to train you. You see, both of our names have the word "ran" in them. Isn't this fate? ?!" Zhong Shuran said with a smile, and the sandalwood hairpin on her head swayed with her movements.
The atmosphere was very relaxed and happy, and Su Yanran's nervousness seemed to be relieved a little. She lowered her head and pursed her lips obediently, smiling:
"Yes, Auntie."
"Yes, that's right." Zhong Shuran's eyes were full of doting. She looked at the person in front of her and sighed helplessly: "Yanran, you are so outstanding and so beautiful. If you marry into our family, you will be the best." alright......"
Zhong Shuran has always admired Su Yanran's appearance. Su Yanran's face was pure and cold, and she had an outstanding temperament like a crescent moon.
Under various observations, Zhong Shuran was very satisfied with Su Yanran's temperament.
Holding Su Yanran's lingering hand, Zhong Shuran seemed to have imagined the days after Su Yanran married into the Gu family.
More importantly, if Su Yanran can get involved with Gu Xiuyuan, then all problems will be solved.
"Aunt, I just want to work hard now. I don't think much about the relationship between men and women right now." Su Yanran lowered her eyes and declined politely.
She had vaguely felt Mrs. Zhong's thoughts in her heart these past few days, but Mrs. Zhong didn't say it explicitly, and she couldn't refuse directly.
This was also the reason why she originally didn't want to follow up today.
"I know your kid is very ambitious, which is a good thing." Zhong Shuran was full of praise for Su Yanran's words, but she still didn't seem to give up and continued, "But if you meet the right one, you can try everything. , life and career should not be delayed, don’t you think so?”
Su Yanran completely lost her temper now and could only follow her words:
"Auntie, you are right. But I prefer to do my own career well first, and then think about other things."
"What a harm, you kid." A trace of displeasure flashed in Zhong Shuran's eyes, and she picked up her tea again and tasted it slowly.
Su Yanran finally breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could relax for a long time, a tall figure coming from the door made her heart skip a beat.
Zhong Shuran and another man saw this figure and stood up to greet him.
"Xiuyuan?! Hey, I haven't seen him for a long time, and he's become handsome again. How many little girls must be fascinated by this." Seeing Gu Xiuyuan come in, Zhong Shuran hurriedly stood up and came forward to praise him.
But she didn't expect that the person who came was not the Gu Xiuyuan she wanted to see, but just a secretary who looked somewhat similar to Gu Xiuyuan.
The secretary's figure appeared.
Zhong Shuran's smile froze on her face, but she still smiled enthusiastically, but her tone was very obviously disappointed: "It turns out to be Secretary Wang, where is Xiu Yuan?"
"Yes, where is Xiuyuan? Did Xiuyuan ask you to come over and call us over?" The man stepped forward and asked.
"Yes." Secretary Wang nodded politely, turned slightly, and said to Zhong Shuran, the most senior of the three, "Mrs. Zhong, please move to the main hall."
The three of them followed Secretary Wang's footsteps to the main hall.
Gu Xiuyuan and a girl were already sitting in the reception room of the main hall, waiting.
The girl was wearing a champagne-colored dress and a white fox fur. She leaned weakly on the black leather sofa facing the door and closed her eyes for a nap.
Gu Xiuyuan sat next to her like a gentleman, willing to accompany her and help her tidy up the hair on her forehead from time to time.
"Please sit down." Secretary Wang greeted the three of them and sat on the sofa next to where the girl and Gu Xiuyuan were sitting. Then he exited and closed the door.
There were only five of them in the room.
After the door closed, the room fell into an eerie silence.
