"Xinwan?" Qiao's mother glanced at her daughter with a worried expression, "Well, what's going on here? Didn't Xuewu say yesterday that he wanted to get back together with you. You..."
"Mom." Qiao Xinwan interrupted her mother's words, held her hand tightly, and shook her head lightly: "Stop talking, I'm hungry, let's go eat."
Without looking at her parents, she went to the dining room first after seeing her. Qiao's father opened his mouth to say something, but Qiao Jie spoke first: "Dad, don't worry about my sister's affairs. That Gu Xuewu is not a good person. He bullied my sister like that before, but now he says he will get back together? What do you think of my sister? What did you take our Qiao family for?"
"Qiao Jie." Father Qiao gave his son a blank look, not interested in continuing with him: "Let's eat."
Qiao Jie shrugged, and finally followed him to dinner without any interest, and didn't mention it if he didn't mention it. Fortunately, his elder sister, Qiao Jie, has a backbone, so she won't be fooled by Gu Xuewu.
snort.
……………
Gu Xuewu's car was halfway through when his cell phone rang. He picked up an unfamiliar number, but it was a familiar person.
After hanging up the phone and looking at the traffic ahead, he turned at the next intersection and went to the meeting place that person said.
After entering the door, Li Lan stood up from a distance, met Gu Xuewu's eyes, watched him stepping forward, and pointed to the seat opposite him: "Please sit down."
Gu Xuewu sat down and looked at Li Lan: "What's the matter?"
"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" Li Lan sat down and poured a glass of water for him, with the corners of her lips slightly raised: "I ordered a filet steak for you. It's almost the same as what I've eaten in Italy."
Gu Xuewu crossed his hands and placed them in front of the table.
"I'm not here to eat with you." If he wanted to eat, he would eat with Qiao Xinwan at Qiao's house just now.
"I know." Li Lan nodded, with no displeasure on his face: "I know that the reason why you are willing to come to the appointment is because you have something to ask me."
She also poured a glass of water for herself, took a sip, raised her head to meet Gu Xuewu's gaze, with a somewhat puzzled expression: "However, I have something to ask you. So, we're even."
even? Gu Xuewu looked at Li Lan, narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a trace of defense deep in the deep starry eyes.
Li Lan turned a blind eye to his solemn expression, and the corner of his lips smiled softly, "Eat first, you left me at the banquet like that that day, at least you owe me a favor, right?"
Gu Xuewu was silent, but the waiter brought the meal at this time. Steak, champagne, pasta. fruit salad. And the Italian soup.
After everything was served, Qiao Xinwan looked at the champagne on the table: "Drink something?"
"No need." Gu Xuewu shook his head, not intending to eat: "I just have a few questions to ask you."
"I know what you want to ask." Li Lan smiled: "However, as I said just now, you owe me a favor. I will give you the answer you want later. But first, finish this meal with me Rice. How about it?"
Seeing Gu Xuewu sitting there motionless, Li Lan sighed with regret, "The steak is not good if it's cold."
After finishing speaking, regardless of Gu Xuewu's reaction, she picked up the knife and fork, cut off a small piece of steak and put it in her mouth.
Her movements are very elegant, like someone who has eaten western food for a long time. Gu Xuewu closed his eyes, picked up the knife and fork and began to eat. He was not in the mood to talk to Li Lan at this time, and quietly finished the meal in front of him.
After eating, he picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of his lips, looked up at Li Lan, and she was almost done with it. Put down the knife and fork. She poured herself a glass of champagne.
"Ask." Li Lan put down her cup and looked at Gu Xuewu: "What do you want to know?"
"Where is Zhou Ying?" Gu Xuewu looked into Li Lan's eyes: "Don't tell me, you are her, you can't be her."
"Really?" Li Lan shook her head, with a stubborn expression on her face: "What if I say that I am her?"
Gu Xuewu was silent, a stern light flashed in his eyes, he stared at Li Lan's face with a hint of sarcasm. This is the first time since Li Lan met him, he saw this expression on his face.
The corner of his lips curled unconsciously. She took a sip of champagne to hide her unease: "Since you don't believe me, why are you asking me?"
Gu Xuewu stared at her face for a while, and finally said softly: "You can't be Zhou Ying, alone, no matter how much you change, even go for plastic surgery, but it feels like it's impossible to get it done. On you, I I didn't find the feeling with Zhou Yingshi. I'm sure, you are not her."
Li Lan pursed her lips. She didn't expect that she lost because of her feelings: "You answer me a question, and I will answer your question."
"What?"
"Who was that woman the day before yesterday? After you took her to dance, she disappeared. I'm curious. Who told you to leave me alone."
"Will I tell you, and you will tell me, where is Zhou Ying?"
"Did I tell you that you will be with Zhou Ying?"
Li Lan refused to lose at all, and Qiao Xinwan's question today suddenly flashed through Gu Xuewu's mind. She said that if Zhou Ying came back, she would be with Zhou Ying.
On the same day, two women asked him this question.
"No." Gu Xuewu shook his head: "It is impossible for me to be with her anymore."
Li Lan smiled ironically: "Since it is impossible for you to be with her anymore, why are you so obsessed with her whereabouts now? If I told you, it would be impossible for you to be with her." What's the point of you if she's together?"
Gu Xuewu was silent. All he wanted to know was the reason why Zhou Ying left. No matter what, he hoped for an answer.
Seeing his silence, Li Lan smiled slightly: "You haven't answered my question yet. Maybe, after I hear the answer, I will tell you the answer you want."
Gu Xuewu glanced at Li Lan, and after thinking for a while, he said softly: "She is my ex-wife."
"Your ex-wife?"
Li Lan searched for the name in her brain, and suddenly her eyes widened: "The ex-wife you're talking about is Qiao Xinwan, right? Are you guys divorced?"
"Is it related to you?"
Li Lan shook her head and smiled: "It has nothing to do with me. But it has something to do with Zhou Ying."
She looked at Gu Xuewu, her eyes were a little angry, a little worthless, and finally those emotions were suppressed, and she regained her composure: "Gu Xuewu, if your feelings for Zhou Ying were true back then, how could you forget them so quickly? Lost her? How can you... with your ex-wife." The hall teacher.
Li Lan didn't say the latter, and Gu Xuewu's eyes were a little surprised. When she wanted to know what it meant, Li Lan was not interested in continuing. She called the waiter and took out her wallet to pay the bill.
Gu Xuewu settled the bill before her. Facing the disapproval in Li Lan's eyes, he said softly, "I don't have the habit of asking women to pay."
"But you have a habit of making women sad."
Li Lan felt uncomfortable, her smile was not as happy as before. Looking at Gu Xuewu, she stood up: "Thank you for eating with me. I think I won't bother you again in the future."
"What do you mean by what you just said?" Gu Xuewu stood in front of her, preventing her from leaving: "Say it clearly."
"I don't want to say it." Li Lan's mood was very low at this time, and that mood was real, not faking at all. She grabbed her bag on the table and left the restaurant quickly.
After meeting her, the doubts in Gu Xuewu's heart were not only unanswered. Instead, it got deeper, picked up the car keys and left. He couldn't understand Li Lan's expression just now.
Angry, sad, sad, what made him incomprehensible the most was that it was worthless. He clearly saw the trace of unworthy emotion in her eyes.
Where does this come from? Who is she unworthy of? For herself, or—
Does he have a habit of making women sad? Gu Xuewu couldn't understand this sentence. Feeling a little disturbed. After getting in the car, the car actually drove towards Qiao's house again.
When he realized it, what he could see in front of him was already the gate of Qiao's house. He stopped the car without getting out of the car, and looked at the lights on the second floor.
At this time, Qiao Xinwan should have eaten, what is she doing now
Playing with Belle? Still taking a shower and getting ready to rest. The time when he met Qiao Xinwan just after taking a shower flashed through his mind.
Unconsciously, the lower abdomen felt a little hot, tense, closed his eyes, put away his thoughts, turned the car around, and left again.
Upstairs, Qiao Xinwan hadn't slept yet. The confrontation with Gu Xuewu in the evening made her extremely tired. She was relieved when he left. Decided to hurry up.
Call to book a flight. She wants to leave Beidu as soon as possible.
As long as she doesn't see Gu Xuewu, as long as she doesn't get entangled with him, she can attribute his abnormality during this period to him being abnormal.
Once she was gone, everything went back to normal. Right, that is it.
Hearing the sound of a car, she froze for a moment, stood up and walked to the window, but saw Gu Xuewu's car parked downstairs, lying behind the curtains, Qiao Xinwan was a little surprised, why did he come back so late
Thinking that he would come up, Qiao Xinwan planned to lock the door as soon as he got out of the car. Unexpectedly, Gu Xuewu drove the car away.
It was too dark, she couldn't see the expression on Gu Xuewu's face clearly from such a long distance. Watching that his car gradually disappeared from his sight. For some reason, she suddenly felt that the figure in the car seemed a little lonely.
Shaking his head, suppressing that emotion, what about Gu Xuewu has nothing to do with her. She doesn't need to pay attention at all. Not at all.
That's right, that's it, Qiao Xinwan told herself not to care. Some things came to mind unconsciously. Every scene during this period became more and more clear in my mind.
My heart suddenly became chaotic, like disturbing a pool of spring water...
Force yourself to suppress those emotions, let yourself calm down, and calm down. Now that it is doomed, there is no need to entangle it anymore, there are some things. Just let him go.
Don't waver anymore. Absolutely not. ()
