Chapter 56 (1/2)
Gu Mian didn't expect Rong Xiu to behave so well after seeing his mother and brother.
One by one, his mother called so affectionate, and took them to have a reunion dinner together. Finally, after returning to the house prepared by Gu Mian for Xia Xueqin and Zimo, he even said whether the house would be too bad. He said he wanted to buy a big house for his mother. Fortunately, Gu Mian persuaded him.
Before leaving, Gu Mian asked Rong Xiu to go down first. Gu Mian stayed and had a few words to tell his mother.
”Mom, it's far from home. You don't have pressure in your heart. Don't be afraid to go out. How to live or how to live. Zimo is the same. After all these years and changes, he won't recognize you even if he bumps into you on the road.” Gu Mian knows that Xia Xueqin has made a big decision to move to Haicheng.
Xia Zimo nodded wisely. When he came, Xia Xueqin had told him his life experience. Xia Zimo seldom saw Gu zhantang when he had memory. He had no concept of his father at all. Therefore, compared with Xia Xueqin, his burden in his heart was almost negligible.
Xia Xueqin took Gu Mian's hand and said with tears of joy in her eyes: ”you don't have to worry about your mother. Live a good life with Rong Xiu. Sleep. You know about your mother. This kind of thing will happen in large families. If Rong Xiu is outside...”
”Mom.” Gu Mian knew what Xia Xueqin was going to say, so she stopped her: ”Rong Xiu and I are not what you see. In short, don't worry about me.”
Gu Mian doesn't want to say it directly. She married Rong Xiu for Gu Yao. She and Rong Xiu are just a contractual couple. Take a moment to tell her about it, so that she won't accept it for a moment.
On the way back, I was silent all the time.
Mother's worry makes Gu Mian's heart very bitter. Over the years, she has been unable to calmly face his contractual relationship with Rong Xiu. From the incompatibility between the two people to the gradual harmony, and even gradually began to understand each other, she found that she was more and more inseparable from Rong Xiu.
It's hard for her to imagine how she will face Rong Xiu in two years. How does she leave.
Gu Mian thought about what happened after the end of their contract, but Rong Xiu was not. Rong Xiu's silence was entirely due to the shock brought to him by Xia Xueqin and Xia Zimo.
In just a few hours today, he can see Xia Xueqin's love for Gu Mian and Gu Mian's missing for Xia Xueqin. During dinner, mother and daughter choked several times, which is easy for Rong Xiu, who lost her parents since childhood, to feel the bitterness of Gu Mian's mother and daughter's separation for many years.
After three years of marriage, Rong Xiu always thought that Gu Mian, like Gu Yao, was a well-off young lady. He couldn't imagine how Gu Mian grew up without a mother and living alone in the Dai family.
It must be more painful to think of the past.
”I will often accompany you to see mom and Zimo.” Rong Xiu was the first to break the silence.
Gu Mian looks at Rong Xiu gratefully and nods. Rong Xiu's performance today is really good. She is very satisfied, but the more so, the more she feels worried about gain and loss.
”I'll go back to the company later. Will you go home or follow me?” Rong Xiu asked.
”Of course it's going home. What am I doing in the company? There's no place for me in the company.” Gu Mian thought of manager Qiu and complained.
Rong Xiu was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, ”this sentence is very vinegar!”
Gu Mian's face turned red when Rong Xiu said it. He lowered his eyes and whispered, ”I don't have it.”
After a while, Rong Xiu suddenly said, ”it's just a small sales manager. If you like me to give it to you in a sales department, it's over.”
