Chapter 1724 (1/2)
”Miss Gu!”
Gu Chen heard someone shouting behind him.
The voice sounded familiar but strange. She didn't know whether to call her, so she didn't stop.
Then the voice was not far behind her: ”Miss Gu.”
It seems that only a few steps away, people in the distance came behind her.
Gu Qian turned around.
It's the guest in a white shirt.
He didn't sit. He stood up tall enough to have a light pole. After a few steps, Gu Zhen had to raise his eyes to see his face clearly.
Her heart suddenly jumped.
She raised her face slightly.
That face hasn't been seen for eight months. It has changed a lot. The eyes seemed deeper than at that time, and the look was a little different.
Just
She looked at him in surprise and thought, ”Oh, it's an acquaintance.”
”Miss Gu, do you remember me?” He took two more steps forward.
Gu Chen took a step back.
Her action made his heart sink. He was like a dirty man. He was afraid of being ugly and stepped back.
Gu did not answer him.
The streets are full of flowing water and pedestrians are in a hurry. Their world is static.
His fingers clenched involuntarily.
”I remember, but I don't dare to admit it.” Gu Chen spoke slowly, ”I don't know what to call you now?”
He was speechless for a moment.
He is still called Bai Xian, because people in Hongmen only recognize his name. Later, a noble man appreciated him for his hard work and recognized a few words, so he valued him very much.
The noble man said that the word Bai Xian is very pleasant to hear and educated. He is not just a rude man, so don't change it.
He was attracted by the comment ”educated”, and sure enough, he didn't change his name, which has been called until now.
”... they call me Bai Xian.” He said.
Gu said, ”master Bai.”
When she was at the door of her study, she heard other guests call him that. She heard him right.
She remembered the three cars downstairs.
There are exactly three guests upstairs.
After just eight months' absence, he had a luxury car and a shirt with exquisite fabric.
The situation in greater Shanghai is turbulent. In such years, there are bold people who die of hunger and timid people, and upstarts everywhere. Don't say eight months, you can change your face in a month or two.
”Don't...” He looked as if he had been slapped in the face and was ashamed. ”Don't call me Miss Gu like that. Don't call me like that...”
Gu Chen smiled politely.
Bai Xian paused for a few seconds and said, ”it's an old acquaintance. Can you invite Miss Gu to lunch?”
Gu Qian looked at his watch.
It was time for lunch.
Today is the weekend. She doesn't have anything important, and it's just time for dinner. All the excuses have been in her mind, and she hasn't thought of a suitable sentence yet.
Bai Xian said again, ”Miss Gu, give me a face?”
Gu Zhen thought that it would be impolite if he didn't appreciate it.
He is still in Hongmen, and his status is different from that of the past.
It will be more difficult for Gu Chen to offend Hongmen. After all, she has only herself.
”Thank you very much.” She said.
Bai Xian snapped his fingers.
Not far or near, the people who followed him immediately turned around and ran back, and soon drove the car over.
He opened the door and asked Gu to sit down.
Gu Lei sat in the back seat.
He went round to the other side and sat side by side with her. The car drove out steadily, but the silence in the car was very strange.
Gu Chen didn't speak, and Bai Xian didn't speak.
Her Yu Guang saw his left hand on his thigh, holding it tightly, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were prominent.
When Gu Zhen wanted to see it again, he noticed it, raised his hand, touched the back of his head and put his hand on the other side of his body.
”How are you recently?” He has nothing to talk to.
”OK,” Gu said
