Having lived in that kind of environment carefree since childhood, I am already many times better than other children.
"Oh, you're stupid, that's different." Manla suddenly felt that Gu Yan was like a fool at this moment. He was completely led by her, his mind was like a paste, and he didn't move at all.
"What's different?" Gu Yan looked at Manla doubtfully.
"You can buy everything with money, but maternal love cannot be bought with money. She likes you so much, and now that you are no longer in front of her, she will naturally miss you very much."
"What do you mean?" Gu Yan's head suddenly became confused.
"Oh, you just have to make a unique gift with all your heart." Manla was almost pissed off by Gu Yan. She had to waste her breath and explain it clearly to Gu Yan word for word before she understood.
Manla didn't know when Gu Yan had become so slow, which really surprised her.
"Yes!" Gu Yan looked like he suddenly realized something. "I know what to give."
"what?"
"Secret!" After saying that, Gu Yan got up and ran out, leaving only "Help me check the store!" and completely ignored Manla's reluctant shouts behind her.
Watching Gu Yan's running back, Manla was angry and funny. Gu Yan's temper was still the same impulsive as before, and she would do whatever came to her mind without considering the consequences.
The birthday gift that Gu Yan prepared for Xiang Yan was a photo album. Every page had photos of her and him, and next to each photo she wrote down her memories about the relationship between mother and son.
"No matter where you are, Auntie will always love you, miss you, and miss you. Your happiness is my greatest happiness."
Finally, Gu Yan ended with this sentence.
By the time I finished this photo album, it was already the end of the month, and Xiangyan’s birthday was three days away.
Manla has returned to city A. I don’t know when the next business trip will be.
It seems that this is destined to be a gift that cannot be given away. Gu Yan let out a long sigh and became sad again. Despite this, she still wrapped the gift carefully. If there was a chance, she comforted herself, there would always be a chance.
Gu Yan's eyes fell on a photo. Those are extra photos, and the album is already full. Gu Yan decided to keep this photo as a souvenir.
The sound of a car engine came from outside the door, and soon Qi Changfeng opened the door and came in.
"Qi... Changfeng?" Gu Yan didn't understand what the visitor's intention was.
"Well... I'm here to give you this month's salary."
"But the date hasn't arrived yet?"
"Well, I'm going to City A tomorrow. I may stay there for a few days. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back."
"City A?" Gu Yan was confused.
"Well, Mr. Mo's son in City A has a birthday party the day after tomorrow. There will be a birthday party. Mr. Mo is my high school classmate. I'm going to see him." Qi Changfeng explained everything clearly.
Gu Yan didn't say anything, just lowered her head and said nothing.
Qi Changfeng couldn't find anything to talk about, so he put down the envelope and stood up to leave.
Gu Yan watched Qi Changfeng leave and silently picked up the remaining group photo. The first tear came out of her eyes and slowly slid down her face. When the first tear fell, the others could no longer be held back. The tears kept falling like broken beads. Gu Yan just stared at the photo, looking at the innocent and happy smile on Xiangyan's face. She didn't blink or raise her hand to wipe away her tears. She just sat motionless and let the tears streak down her cheeks, leaving a bright streak. Traces of it then drip onto the photo.
Qi Changfeng, who turned back because he forgot to take the car keys, happened to see this scene. He wanted to rush in and ask her what was wrong, but he stood outside the door and watched quietly, unable to move a step.
Why? Qi Changfeng's mind was full of why. But his reason told him that he couldn't go in or ask, and he should even pretend not to see it.
Gu Yan just shed tears silently, letting out her grievances and longings for so long with these tears. I wonder if Xiangyan also misses her as a mother, and wonders if he still remembers her. .
Gu Yan moved her fingers to wipe away the tears that fell on the photo, and her fingertips traced Xingyan's cheek in the photo, as if she was caressing his face. After a while, she murmured, "Happy birthday, Xiangyan." "
Finally, Gu Yan raised her head, wiped her face randomly, packed her things, closed the store door, and left in a hurry. Qi Changfeng silently watched Gu Yan's back disappear on the street corner before patting his head in annoyance. Finally, he still didn't have the courage to face her past. But he swore in his heart that one day, he would ask her, learn about her past, and enter her world.
When Qi Changfeng got off the plane, he saw Mo Yichen coming to pick him up from a distance.
Ever since Qi Changfeng met Mo Yichen, he could always quickly find him in the crowd with Mo Yichen's unique cold temperament. Perhaps because of similar family backgrounds and similar personalities, the two have always had a good relationship since high school. It's just that in recent years, the two of them have not had much contact because they both have to take over the family business. This meeting inevitably involves catching up on old times.
When Mo Yichen saw his old friend getting off the plane, he also walked up to him. No words were needed. His brother's embrace said everything.
The two got into the car, and Mo Yichen directly ordered the driver to go to the venue.
"You're so good at timing. You didn't come even a minute earlier." Mo Yichen joked.
"If the plane wasn't at this point, how could we catch a ride with Mr. Mo?" Qi Changfeng retorted unceremoniously.
"Not at this point, I would have made a special trip to pick you up."
The two of them chatted about past events and arrived at the venue before they knew it.
The banquet was held in a five-star hotel in the city center of City A. The Mo family booked five floors in a row. In addition to the entire banquet hall, the remaining four floors were suites for guests to rest. The layout of the banquet hall was also It was very grand, and the guests were all prominent figures from all walks of life, which reflected the unshakable position of the Mo family in the A family.
Mo Yichen went to receive the guests, while Qi Changfeng had no choice but to wander around the venue boredly with a glass of wine. He saw Mo Xiangyan having an awkward moment at a long table. There was a woman with exquisite makeup beside him who was trying to coax him with nice words.
Qi Changfeng was about to take a closer look at how much temper this child had inherited from his father, when Mo Yichen's voice sounded behind him.
"Xiangyan, come here." The voice was cold and there was no room for negotiation.
When Mo Xiangyan heard this, he immediately came over obediently, and the woman with delicate makeup also stood up and followed him.
Mo Yichen picked up Xiangfeng and said, "This is Qi Changfeng, his name is Uncle Qi."
"Uncle Qi." Xiangyan called obediently.
