When they returned to Mingyuan, it was past lunch time. Aunt Chen intentionally waited for Gu Chengcheng. She didn't even close the door.
He had already made his meal, and it was hot again in the middle. When he finally looked forward to Gu Chengcheng's return, she immediately greeted him.
"Chengcheng, I'm finally back."
This kind of warm feeling of being greeted as soon as she got out of the elevator, Gu Chengcheng felt that it had been a long time. She was flattered and asked, "What's wrong with Auntie?"
"Oh, nothing, I'm waiting for you to eat."
Gu Chengcheng didn't take it to heart when he said that in the morning. Who would have thought that Aunt Chen would take it so seriously and implement it so quickly? Gu Chengcheng felt at a loss, so he was pulled into the room and sat at the dining table.
"Auntie, it's not good, I just do my best, you really don't have to worry about it."
Gu Chengcheng just thought she was thinking about the morning Internet TV, which was too polite. Aunt Chen knew that she must think so, so she said, "It's not all about the morning, I live here alone, my son and daughter are not around, you see. It's not too big to get up, can't you just accompany me as a companion?"
These words... But Gu Chengcheng's heart was touched very much, and he couldn't say anything after thinking a lot in an instant.
She has children who are not by her side, so what about her? I want to have a meal with my parents, but it is no longer possible.
"Okay, thank you Auntie." No longer thinking about leaving, Gu Chengcheng said with a chuckle, "Auntie, you can sit too."
"okay."
First, I put a bowl of red bean soup and handed it to Gu Chengcheng, and Aunt Chen put another spare ribs on her plate: "Red beans to nourish blood, you drink more, these spare ribs are not greasy, try to eat as much as you can."
Gu Chengcheng responded, but she was not very polite. She would eat whatever Aunt Chen brought her. The two of them talked occasionally, and the scene was very harmonious.
"Auntie is really good at cooking."
Aunt Chen has not been around a child as young as Gu Chengcheng for a long time, and being praised like this, her face bloomed with a smile: "If you like it, you will come here often in the future. Auntie is cooking your meal, and the two of us will eat together. Not lonely either."
Gu Chengcheng didn't say anything, just a smile on his face. At that time, she even temporarily abandoned the urging before Yu Yuan left.
At the same time, Jing Yi…
Mu Haifeng went to the company today. On the surface, he had a job, but in reality he just wanted to see Linda.
These days, he hasn't slept well. He took some sleeping pills and managed to fall asleep. He also had some bad dreams. Linda is a special assistant. It should be very clear, but the working people have many eyes, and it is not a good place to talk.
"Let's meet at the same place tonight." Mu Haifeng whispered to Linda while the coffee was being poured in the pantry.
Linda has already avoided private contact with Mu Haifeng as much as possible, but now it's unusual, and she doesn't care so much, and softly "um".
They were in the same company, and they didn't leave together when they got off work. The cars in the underground garage drove one after the other, and even the routes were different.
Mu Haifeng arrived first, and when Linda passed by, the dishes had already been ordered, and they were all Linda's favorites.
Linda doesn't look good lately. She seems to have lost some weight. Thinking about it, she doesn't know how to eat: "What's the matter with you, you look a little irritable."
Mu Haifeng nodded, admitted his anxiety, and said at the same time, "You can't sleep well either."
The two of them knew what dirty things they had done to each other, so naturally there was no need to hide them. "Of course I can't sleep well, and I feel uneasy."
Mu Haifeng had a bold idea when he was dreaming back at midnight these few nights, but he had been unsure about paying attention. It was also for this reason that Linda came here today.
"I want to do one more thing." His voice was cold, and Mu Haifeng raised his eyes to look at Linda when he said it. Although he didn't say it clearly, Linda's heart skipped a beat, and he actually guessed it.
"You wouldn't be..." She narrowed her eyes and looked solemn.
For many years, Mu Haifeng has not done anything that hurts people's lives again. He once missed a moment, and he regretted it, but he had already done it, and there was no room for manoeuvre. It was like a whirlpool, sucking him deeply until He had this idea when he was sober.
"I don't know what's wrong. I always feel that I can't sit still. Gu Chengcheng's side is so quiet, I'm very flustered."
A man is also vulnerable. Linda's heart is also heavy when he shows himself so frankly. She didn't persuade him, but just said, "You can do it yourself. As long as it is beneficial to us, I will not object."
Everyone is selfish, and no one is exempt.
"Actually, I shouldn't have told you about this either." After a long silence, Mu Haifeng laughed secretly: "If I hadn't been so lucky and missed, the police wouldn't have affected you, the insider, when they asked."
Every move, Mu Haifeng is not only for himself, but also for Linda, Linda is very clear, his eyes are hot: "Don't say those depressing words, I don't believe that you will miss, and there is no trouble now, there are not many people who know it, but It’s a good thing, as long as it’s done flawlessly, no matter how the police officers investigate, it’s just an accident.”
"Having said that, I can't believe I've been so lucky all the time." After all, he has been lucky for so many years, with two lives on his back.
The Mu family and the Gu family were supposed to be the best family friends.
Mu Nanfeng and Gu Chengcheng were supposed to be childhood sweethearts.
A short thought...
Forgot what book it was, he once read a sentence, as long as you have committed a crime, whether intentional or not, the devil has already dwelled in the depths of your heart, and may appear at any time, waiting for an opportunity.
Is that the case now? He thought that he would not do any bad things again in this life, but suddenly he had the idea of cutting grass and roots, but he didn't feel as scared as before.
What kind of state of mind do you have? put all one's eggs in one basket
"Hopefully." With a deep sigh, Mu Haifeng poured a drink for himself and sighed. He used to drink like this recently, and he was very happy.
"If this time can get me out of the way, I don't want to do this kind of thing again in my life, and I also hope that for the rest of my life, I will be wholeheartedly good."
Linda, he wanted to let go too.
Jingyi Group, whether he has his share or not is no longer important.
In the face of death, everything becomes small.
It turned out that he was so afraid of death, afraid of being punished by the law, he was a big man, Linda should be more afraid, but she didn't say, was she also repeatedly tortured by nightmares and couldn't sleep
"Wait for my news, I will share your worries for you." That night, this sentence was Mu Haifeng's promise to her.
Hearing this, Linda was like a reassurance pill. Although she didn't reveal much on the surface, she was really relieved in her heart.
She is a smart woman, and she won't ask a man to do anything inappropriate for her. With Mu Haifeng, she always hoped that he would be willing, and Mu Haifeng never disappointed her.
He was the best man for her, but so what, she just didn't love him.
