Gong Ou will return to China in two days, and she hasn't chosen a gift yet.
Shi Xiaonian reached out and pressed the Bluetooth headset. The call status was still maintained. There was no sound from Gong Ou. She probably turned off the microphone and was busy with other things like she did now.
Gift.
Gift.
What gift to choose? Who knows what Gong Ou will like, people like him have everything.
She didn't ask for gifts to please him, as long as he didn't lose his temper, but even then she couldn't think of anything to give.
Shi Xiaonian had a headache thinking about it, swinging a handbag in her hand, walking aimlessly on the street, walking in the cool night.
Suddenly, she stopped.
There were several vans parked on the roadside in front, and there were people standing in twos and threes beside the vans, all carrying or holding an oversized SLR camera, taking pictures somewhere.
Reporter
Shi Xiaonian stood aside and glanced at the angle from which they were shooting.
Across the street is the Crowne Plaza Hotel, the most prestigious hotel in S City. The lights at the hotel entrance are dazzling and a red carpet is spread from the hotel door to the roadside.
Several luxury cars were parked at the door.
The person who got off the luxury car was an acquaintance, an acquaintance that Shi Xiaonian couldn't be more familiar with. Yes, it can only be called an acquaintance now.
Because legally, there is no relationship between them.
Dressed in a neat suit, his adoptive father Shi Zhong held the hand of his adoptive mother Min Qiujun and walked from the luxury car to the hotel in high spirits, with wind in his steps.
Next came Mu Qianchu's parents, a noble couple who walked much more low-key than Shi Zhong.
Then, Shi Di, who was wearing an evening dress, took Mu Qianchu's arm and got out of the car. The two walked into the hotel together, Shi Di leaning against him and talking intimately.
Across the street, Shi Xiaonian couldn't see the expressions on their faces, but felt that they were extremely in love with each other.
It's them.
Shi Xiaonian stood by the roadside, holding her handbag tightly with her fingers.
The reporters on the side were taking photos and chatting--
"Hurry up and take two more pictures."
"Shi Di is really a winner in life. She married into a wealthy family and is a goddess in the entertainment industry. The people of the Shi family follow the chickens and dogs to heaven. You see, even the parents of the Shi family walk in front of every family dinner."
"What do you know? I heard that Shi Di's father contributed a lot to Prince Mu's position as president."
"I heard that Mu Qianchu will soon announce that he will be the new president of Mushi."
"I heard that the dishes at the Crown Hotel are very expensive and delicious. It would be nice to have a bite."
"Please, they are just having a family dinner, why would they invite us reporters?"
"Hey, we are all human beings. They live in harmony with their families and have lots of money and power. We can only drink and take pictures here."
“…”
Family dinner.
It turned out to be a family dinner.
Shi Xiaonian watched those people walking into the hotel door, watching Shi Di's arm holding Mu Qianchu, saying something to her adoptive mother and the others, making several elders laugh.
Is the family harmonious
The Shi family was quite harmonious, and it became even more harmonious if she was removed.
Shi Xiaonian stood there like a piece of wood, watching her adoptive parents walk into the hotel. It felt like she was sent to a relative's house when she was a child, and then watched them travel with Shi Di...
Her surname is Shi, but she is the biggest outsider in the Shi family.
Mu Qianchu seemed to still be very affectionate with Shi Di. He also said that he wanted to help her and that he would give her a week to get out of this situation together... I don't know if it was true or not.
Shi Xiaonian glanced at the brightly lit hotel, turned around and left alone.
Just like when she was little, her adoptive parents took Shidi to play, and she didn't cry or make a fuss, and turned around silently.
It's not that she doesn't want to make trouble, it's that she understands that it's useless to make trouble.
Her life always seems to be like this. When faced with changes, she is always unable to resist and can only bear it silently. This is true for her adoptive parents and the same for Gong Ou.
She was walking alone on the street and passed a steaming barbecue stall.
"Boss, bring me some beer and skewers."
Shi Xiaonian stopped and said to the boss.
The barbecue stall was bustling with people and it was extremely lively, but she was sitting there feeling particularly deserted and lonely.
She sat there alone, opened a can of beer and poured it into her mouth. A bitter taste spread in her mouth.
One can.
Two cans.
Three cans.
Pushing the empty beer can, Shi Xiaonian used her hand as a fan to get rid of the smell of alcohol in her mouth, got up to pay and left while her consciousness was still somewhat clear.
She couldn't be really drunk.
Otherwise, it would be bad for Gong Ou to call.
"hehe."
When Xiaonian was walking on the road, she smiled stupidly as she thought about it, her slightly blushing face full of sarcasm towards herself.
She is a real failure. Her adoptive parents abandoned her, and she can do nothing; Shi Di designed her, but she can't do anything; Gong Ou doubts her for no reason and monitors her 24 hours a day, but she can't do anything...
Shi Xiaonian, when will you be able to survive, and when will you be able to have two days that truly belong to you
Shi Xiaonian smiled to herself and walked unsteadily on the street.
Suddenly, she turned around.
To her right is a lighted advertising area in a super shopping mall. The lights are so bright that it advertises a perfume, which was repackaged and launched by Mousse...
Shi Xiaonian glanced a little drunkenly.
It seemed to be the perfume Mu Qianchu recommended to her last time, saying it was suitable for her.
In the large-scale advertisement, the perfume bottle is taller than her. The design of the bottle is very exquisite and gorgeous. The mouth of the bottle is like an elf, and the hands are wrapped around it in the shape of a heart. It looks like a luxury, and the flow in the bottle The perfume in it is light pink, so beautiful and alluring.
There is an advertising slogan next to the perfume -
My elf, I only want to think of you...
A very simple sentence.
Shi Xiaonian stood there, staring blankly at the slogan, unable to wake up for a long time.
A gust of night wind blew by, blowing up the hem of her long dress and messing up her long hair, which covered her eyes and captivated her sight.
I just want to think of you.
For a long time, pedestrians kept passing by her.
She was still looking blankly at the huge advertisement and the slogan on it.
Remember…
Who thinks of whom
Mu Qianchu, do you know that you still owe me a memory, and you dare to brazenly put such a slogan in a perfume advertisement.
When Xiaonian was thinking about it, the night wind blew on her drunken head. She knocked her head and turned to leave.
As soon as she turned around, she saw a white convertible Porsche sports car parked on the side of the road. Mu Qianchu was sitting in the driver's seat, looking straight at her.
Time suddenly stopped at this second.
Shi Xiaonian stared at the people in the car blankly, without making any sound.
Mu Qianchu looked at her quietly, the wind blew up her skirt, and she stood there slim and graceful, looking particularly pure and charming.
On the illuminated advertisement behind her, a line of words was faintly visible.
My elf, I just want to think of you.
The word "think" made Shi Xiaonian once again unable to distinguish between reality and the past. She stood on the street and looked at the people in the car stupidly, with confusion on her elegant face, and murmured, "You are Qianchu?"
Is it that Qianchu
Was it the Qianchu who relied on her for everything, held her hand, and said he wanted to protect her and marry her
Is it that person
"It's me, why don't you recognize me?" Mu Qianchu chuckled, breaking the weird atmosphere between the two.
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian came back to her senses, and the sound of traffic around her suddenly penetrated into her ears, making her wake up.
She stretched out her hand and pressed her head. Drinking wine can easily make people confused.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Mu Qianchu looked at her with worried eyes.
Shi Xiaonian glanced at him, and the scene of him and Shi Di walking into the hotel appeared in front of her eyes. She pursed her lips and turned around to leave without saying a word.
Upon seeing this, Mu Qianchu immediately opened the car door and got out of the car, and quickly caught up with her, "Xiao Nian, why are you running?"
Shi Xiaonian strode towards the alley where the light was not so strong, her steps wobbly.
"Xiao Nian--"
Mu Qianchu grabbed her arm from behind and held her by force.
"Let go."
Shi Xiaonian threw his hand away, with a clear look of indifference on his face.
"What's wrong with you?" Mu Qianchu looked at her in shock. Wasn't she fine before
The two of them stood in a quiet alley, the light was dim, and when the wind blew by, the smell of alcohol on her body fell on him.
Mu Qianchu looked at her in disbelief, "Have you been drinking?"
She never drank.
"I go first."
Shi Xiaonian didn't want to say anything, she just wanted to leave. She raised her feet and moved forward. Her arm was once again pulled by Mu Qianchu. Mu Qianchu closed his fingers and grabbed her slender arm easily.
"Xiao Nian, what's wrong with you? Did something happen? Why are you drinking?" Mu Qianchu asked worriedly.
His caring and gentle voice made Shi Xiaonian's drunken head lose consciousness for another second.
She forced herself to wake up and let go of his hand, but this time, Mu Qianchu didn't let go and held her tightly.
The warmth of his fingertips pressed against her.
"Let go!"
Shi Xiaonian's tone became colder.
"I won't let you go until you explain clearly. Why did you run away when you saw me? Wasn't it good before?" He admitted that he didn't like her leaving her back in front of him.
"Aren't you and Shi Di having a family dinner in the hotel? What are you doing here?" Shi Xiaonian asked coldly.
"I just saw you in the hotel, so I made an excuse to come out. Is this why you drink?"
Is she... jealous
Mu Qianchu looked at her deeply with his narrow eyes, a smile flashed across his eyes, and he explained softly, "Xiao Nian, actually you don't have to think so much. The reason why I hold a family banquet is because your father helped me sit down. In the president’s…”
"I don't want to know how good you are. He's not my father anymore, is he? They don't want me anymore." Shi Xiaonian interrupted him coldly and stepped back, leaning against the cold wall.
His hand was still on her arm.
"Xiao Nian..." Mu Qianchu looked at her with distress on his face, "It doesn't matter, they don't want you and me..."
"I know it doesn't matter." Shi Xiaonian interrupted him again and said indifferently, "You and I have nothing to do with each other, right?"
Mu Qianchu's face froze in the dim light, "What did you say?"
He has nothing to do with her
Shi Xiaonian pushed his hand away. This time, he didn't hold it tightly and let her push it away. (To be continued)
