Gu Ziyi listened to the general idea and understood the relationship between the Luo family.
Luo Mingsheng cheated on Qian Wenshi and gave birth to Luo Qianqian. Later, after divorcing Bai Langyue, Luo Lian's biological mother, she married Qian Wenshi.
Gu Ziyi had never heard Luo Lian mention anything about his family before. She has never deliberately investigated the situation of the Luo family. Because falling in love was a matter between the two of them, she didn't mention the Gu family, so she didn't think it was strange.
She looked at Luo Lian and knew better than anyone else that Luo Lian didn't want to laugh at all.
He is an extremely hypocritical person.
Somehow, I always felt that Luo Lian's hypocritical smile looked particularly uncomfortable today. Maybe he heard stories about the Luo family.
Luo Lian also spoke a few words, which were all clichés.
Gu Ziyi noticed that Luo Lian seemed to be looking at her. Gu Ziyi looked away and hid in the crowd.
After talking for a while, apart from eating, drinking and chatting, the most interesting thing was dancing.
Many young men and women will get to know each other through this.
Gu Ziyi didn't like this kind of occasion just because of this, it was uncomfortable. Two or three people came over to invite them, but Gu Ziyi just declined with a smile. Until Luo Lian walked up to her, she couldn't laugh anymore.
"Can I invite you to dance?" Luo Lian stood in front of her with a smile on his face.
Gu Ziyi said: "Pei Yuan is here today, do you want to embarrass her?"
Who doesn't know that Luo Lian is getting engaged to Pei Yuan
Wouldn't it be embarrassing for Pei Yuan to invite other women to be dance partners openly
Gu Ziyi looked at him, "You don't really want to be a scumbag, do you?"
Luo Lian smiled: "It's just a transaction between me and her."
"I don't know whether there is a deal or not, and neither do others. In everyone's eyes, your relationship is that of an unmarried couple. You'd better not do anything too outrageous."
"You must have been rejecting me because of Pei Yuan." Luo Lian's tone was firm.
Gu Ziyi frowned slightly, "Not entirely."
"I'm not good enough." Luo Lian smiled and looked at her.
Gu Ziyi raised her hand and tucked the hair from her temples behind her ears. She looked at Luo Lian and said, "You look like a 'little man succeeds'."
Luo Lian wasn't angry either, "Really?"
Gu Ziyi knew that Luo Lian was so happy because he heard what she said after drinking. She is still hesitating, and this hesitation may last for a long time.
"You should go find Pei Yuan." Gu Ziyi said.
Luo Lian stayed beside her, "I want to stay with you."
Gu Ziyi felt helpless and asked, "Are you using her?"
"If I say 'yes', will you hate me even more?" Luo Lian asked.
Gu Ziyi fell silent.
Luo Lian walked to the seat next to her, leaned against the window, and looked sideways at her, "You don't seem to like this kind of banquet. Last time at the charity auction, you were alone in the corner."
Gu Ziyi twitched the corners of her lips, her eyes clear, "It's too hypocritical, both of them are like this."
"People who do business are like this, for profit." Luo Lian tilted his head, "Profit first is a businessman's creed."
"I know, it's just that I am aloof and unwilling at the moment. When I really can't afford to eat, I have to do the same." Gu Ziyi's understanding was particularly clear.
In fact, there are very few people who know their purpose very clearly like Gu Ziyi.
Luo Lian also knew his purpose very well. Of course, it was not a good thing. He looked at Gu Ziyi's profile, her facial features were well proportioned, and she would be pleasing to the eye no matter how you looked at her. "Do you like money?"
"I like it. Who would object to having too much money?" Gu Ziyi asked.
Luo Lian thought for a moment, then smiled: "Yes, who would dislike having too much money?"
The music suddenly got louder and the dance floor became more lively.
Gu Ziyi frowned, bought a glass of red wine, and then went to the small garden through the door on the side.
The wind outside is slightly cool.
The night is very good tonight, the stars and moon are clear.
Gu Ziyi looked up at the sky.
"Are you worried?" Luo Lian stood next to her and asked.
Gu Ziyi blinked her eyelashes and looked away, "I've been worried a lot lately."
"You might as well tell it and listen. Maybe I can't help... You can also tell it and it will make you feel better." Luo Lian said.
Gu Ziyi chuckled: "You really can't help. My dad's cancer has recurred and he is hospitalized again. The Gu family is also a mess. Although it is not a mess, it is still very messy. Competitors have been poaching us. Ke Yuan, Xiang Shen and I have been busy for several days. My dad's mental state is quite good, but I'm not so good. Just hearing the news about the recurrence... I couldn't calm down. "
Luo Lian has experienced this feeling. When Bai Langyue fell ill, he was always on tenterhooks.
He asked: "What are your plans?"
"Me? I actually don't have any plans. I never thought about what would happen to the Gu family, or what would happen to my parents. All my previous plans were centered around Youwen. But within a year, things got a lot worse. It’s all something I didn’t expect.”
No one has the ability to predict the future, and Gu Ziyi is not a god. She is actually much stronger than many people.
"Actually... I know I shouldn't think too much, but, I can't help but think about the worst outcome. I've been a little afraid of going to the hospital to see my parents these days. I have to endure my emotions while I smiled and told my mother that it was okay. I am very conflicted in my heart." Gu Ziyi started chatting before she could say these words to others.
Luo Lian was silent. Gu Cheng's illness... sounded indeed serious. He really couldn't help, so he couldn't say anything.
Gu Ziyi raised her wine glass, raised her head and drank it all. "It doesn't make me feel much relieved when I say it, but it just makes me feel a little more relaxed."
It will always be particularly depressing when a person is holding back something that has nowhere to pour out.
Although speaking out doesn't have a solution, it can make you feel better.
Luo Lian stared at her, wanting to say something, but couldn't. She had many things to worry about, so she had no time to worry about their relationship.
Luo Lian knew practical matters and did not mention anything between them.
Otherwise, rejection will come again.
The two of them sat down quietly in the small garden, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Maybe, without forcing each other so much, everything can be fine.
"The moon is very beautiful today." Gu Ziyi raised her head and couldn't help but say.
Luo Lian raised his head and glanced at the moon in the sky, then turned his eyes to Gu Ziyi, "Yes, it's very beautiful." He didn't know whether he was talking about the moon or Gu Ziyi.
Sensing his gaze, Gu Ziyi looked over, and the two people's eyes met.
Luo Lian's eyes were exceptionally bright, brighter than the stars.
