Chapter 49
Chapter 48: Banquet
“I want to talk to you.” Zhong Lingling received such an inexplicable text message, she originally deleted it as a spam message, but maybe because she didn’t respond, the other party took the initiative to report her name.
“I’m Soho, I want to talk to you about Cheng Xuan.”
Promise? What does it have to do with her?
Zhong Lingling took a look and deleted the text message directly.
“What are you thinking?” When Gu Shichen came in, he saw Zhong Lingling playing with the phone.
“Nothing.” Zhong Lingling suddenly came back to his senses, “Have the procedures been done?”
Today she was finally discharged from the hospital. Zhong Lingling, who had been in the hospital for almost a month, couldn’t wait to breathe the fresh air without the smell of disinfectant.
“It’s done.” Gu Shichen pushed a wheelchair in, “I still have to come over for a review every other week.” His eyes swept across the phone in Zhong Lingling’s hand and fell on her face, ” Have a meal out and go back.”
“No.” Zhong Lingling’s knee is still a little weak, mainly because he can’t exert himself.
She rested her hands on the bed, and as soon as her buttocks moved up, Gu Shichen’s hands came over.
Holding her back with one hand, crossing her knees with the other, and picked him up firmly.
During this time, she was being held in and out. Zhong Lingling, who was used to it, didn’t even look at him, and hurriedly squeezed the suddenly vibrating phone.
Glancing at a slightly familiar string of numbers on the screen, Zhong Lingling hung up irritably.
Gu Shichen pulled a small blanket over Zhong Lingling’s lap, his eyebrows narrowed slightly: “Who is it, is it inconvenient to pick up?”
Zhong Lingling picked him out of the corner of his eyes: “Want to know?”
Gu Shichen: “…Well.”
The small appearance of grievance and grievance looked quite distressing, Zhong Lingling burst out laughing, and couldn’t close her mouth.
Gu Shichen pursed his lips and looked at her so quietly, his eagerness to know was clearly written on his face.
“Soho’s.” Zhong Lingling smiled and leaned back and forth, clutching her stomach and leaning on the back of the chair, “She said she wanted to talk to me, but I don’t want to go.”
If Mr. Gu was not a straight man, he would know that what he felt was just the fragrance of green tea.
“I don’t know.” Zhong Lingling turned off the phone directly, saw Gu Shichen’s gloomy face from the corner of his eye, and suddenly narrowed his eyes to look at him, “Did you do something to the Su family?”
Otherwise, why would Soho look for himself so eagerly.
After several days of texting, the phone calls came.
As if not to be proud.
“I didn’t do anything.” Gu Shichen said casually, “I didn’t target her, maybe I even helped her.”
Zhong Lingling looked at him in disbelief.
Gu Shichen said: “Ruan Xinghe is Su Zhenguo’s only son, Nuoda’s family business must be left to his son, Su He and her mother are not easy women, in order to compensate for so many years for their son Waiting slowly, Su Zhenguo will definitely remove these two obstacles for his son in advance, after all, the daughter is going to marry, only the son can assist him and help him further expand his territory.”
Zhong Lingling still looked at him suspiciously.
Gu Shichen sank his face, and said with anger: “He wants to eat Zhongdi, it belongs to you,”
Zhong Lingling shook her head: “No, it’s not mine. The affairs of their Zhong family and Qian family have nothing to do with me.”
Gu Shichen froze for a moment.
Zhong Lingling grabbed his hand: “But this kind of venting behavior makes me very happy!”
She winked at Gu Shichen: “Do what you can, teach them a lesson and suffer, but don’t affect your business.”
“No, with their ability, I can take care of them with a few more.” Gu Shichen pinched her cheek with a proud look on his face.
“Look at what you are capable of.” Zhong Lingling just thought he was showing off, and didn’t take it to heart.
Three or two sentences changed the topic: “Don’t go out to eat, it’s not very convenient, buy some to take home to eat.”
“Okay, what do you want to eat?” Gu Shichen pushed the wheelchair, lowered his head and looked at Zhong Lingling’s turn, and touched his face, “What’s wrong?”
Zhong Lingling said with a “his-” tone, shook his head and turned his eyes away: “I want to eat the chaosi from that house downstairs, how about you.”
“I can do it.” Gu Shichen thought for a while, “Then let’s have their fried noodles. I haven’t eaten it for a long time.”
The domineering president who was still domineering in one second will be sucking and eating fried noodles in the next second
An overly happy picture appeared in Zhong Lingling’s mind, and she couldn’t help laughing softly.
She has never met such a gentle man before, and she rarely even hears rejection from Gu Shichen’s mouth, and every time she agrees very willingly, without any hesitation or displeasure .
System: “What, moved?”
“No.” Zhong Lingling said stubbornly, “What’s so touching, I asked for Jane Chengxuan back then.”
Zhong Lingling muttered in a low voice, “He’s chasing me, but it’s just a little thing…”
“It’s a trivial matter to accompany you to eat Chaoshou and fried noodles without even a signboard without talking about millions of business in minutes and hundreds of millions of big customers missing. ?”
Zhong Lingling opened her mouth, unable to refute, and said angrily, “Where are you from!”
The system shrugged its shoulders and said, “I’m not either, I’m just answering your inner doubts.”
“I have no doubts in my heart!” Zhong Lingling gritted his teeth.
There was no heartbeat, and when Gu Shichen went out, he didn’t lose his mind, he stretched his neck like a stone, and he was relieved when he saw Gu Shichen’s figure?”
Zhong Lingling: “…” There is nothing to say, she even wants to dig the system out of her mind.
Zhong Lingling, who was ridiculed by the system all the way, is like an eggplant beaten by frost, stunned.
Until the door of the house, she didn’t say anything, and didn’t even look at Gu Shichen again, for fear that her heartbeat would betray her heart.
Zhong Lingling touched her pocket and suddenly remembered that her keys were in the bag.
The bag was stuffed in the luggage compartment and still in the trunk of the car.
She hurriedly said: “My keys are still in the car, I’m waiting for you here, you can find it, it should be in my red bag.”
Gu Shichen carried food in one hand, and took out a bunch of keys in his trouser pocket with the other hand. He dared not look her in the eye, and said with a guilty conscience: “Your legs are inconvenient, you are alone Don’t worry about staying with me, you can stay with me for the past two days.”
Zhong Lingling slowly narrowed her eyes, paused and said, “Then you live with me?”
Gu Shichen: “…” He kept the posture of opening the door, not sure if he should go in.
Zhong Lingling bowed her head slightly, with two blushes on her cheeks, and said uncomfortably, “I’m joking, so please disturb me.”
When he was in the hospital, Gu Shichen just added a bed to his ward.
At that time, the two of them were still living in one room, but now they are one room and two living rooms, so there is nothing to be hypocritical.
A flash of joy flashed in Gu Shichen’s eyes, and it was obvious that a heart that had been hanging all the time fell.
He reached out to hug Zhong Lingling, but was avoided by Zhong Lingling with disgust.
Zhong Lingling pouted: “Can’t you put down what you eat first, and you will give me a seasoning later.”
Gu Shichen was completely overwhelmed with joy, grinned at Zhong Lingling, and hurriedly said, “Wait for me.”
After he entered, Zhong Lingling rubbed her hot face hard and patted her hard twice.
Whispered to himself: “Zhong Lingling, cheer up, how many men have not seen before, as for the capsize in the gutter?”
The **** assist system suddenly went online: “Is Gu Shichen a sewer?”
No, he is not, he is a violent storm, a stormy sea, let alone capsize, it is not surprising that the ship is completely destroyed.
Just as Zhong Lingling covered her face and sighed deeply, Gu Shichen’s female and **** low-pitched voice came from her ear: “What’s wrong?”
Gu Shichen: “…”
Looking at the empty living room with only carpets and no tables and chairs, Zhong Lingling couldn’t hide the surprise on his face: “Your bath is a thief? Or is life going down recently? , started pawning for a living?”
Gu Shichen hugged her and placed her on the long-felt floor stall, and put away the wheelchair: “The doctor said that your knee is almost healed, and you need to take two steps to exercise when you are free. I have installed railings, you can walk with them, furniture and so on, it is inconvenient for you to put too many things, I will put them away first, and then take them out when you are healed.”
Zhong Lingling blinked and looked at the railings covered with flannel on the four walls, and suddenly felt that her heart was like this empty living room.
Empty, urgently need something to fill, fill.
She bit her lower lip, slowly lowered her head, took a deep breath and swallowed a tear.
When I raised my face again, except for the redness around my eyes, I had completely controlled my emotions.
She pretended to be calm and shouted: “I’m hungry, I’m hungry, bring me my hand, it will be a mess later.”
“Look at you, there is no table, eating is also a problem.” Zhong Lingling pretended to complain.
“There are foldable ones.” Gu Shichen took out a small table, and then took out two futons.
Zhong Lingling finally knew why she felt quite familiar, she suddenly asked: “Where did you learn this? Is it a parent-child parenting show? Saying that children can’t bump into anything of?”
Gu Shichen: “…” Nodding very hard.
Zhong Lingling: “…”
The whole living room is like a big bed, Zhong Lingling is sitting on the futon.
You can straighten your legs at will without pulling on your knees, which is quite comfortable.
Zhong Lingling held the spoon, and while eating, he glanced at Gu Shichen, who was eating seriously, and suddenly felt that the other party was really attentive.
She took two sips absent-mindedly and asked, “You have taken so long to leave, don’t you need to go to the company?”
“You don’t have to go if you don’t have a big business.” Gu Shichen paused, then added, “It’s none of your business.”
A Cupid’s arrow pierced her heart, and Zhong Lingling’s heart was beating wildly.
She stared at Gu Shichen for a while, and had the urge to cover his mouth.
It’s not embarrassing to say something rustic.
Gu Shichen’s mother’s birthday sent invitations to all major families in Kyoto.
But the invitations are also divided into three, six, nine, etc. Zhong Lingling got the golden invitation letter written by Gu’s mother herself.
Zhong Lingling didn’t have a car. Gu Shichen originally planned to pick her up, but the preparations and reception before the banquet were also inseparable from him.
Zhong Lingling also doesn’t want to appear with him as the focus person, and has to deal with various media, which is troublesome.
The night before, Gu Shichen returned to Gu’s old house, and called Zhong Lingling at ten o’clock when Lingling had just finished taking a shower and went to bed.
Sure enough, there was a hoarse and lazy voice that was obviously still steaming after taking a bath: “Why?”
Zhong Lingling turned on the speakerphone, put the phone aside, tore off the mask and gently rubbed her face: “Aren’t you setting up the venue?”
“En.” Gu Shichen looked back at the staff who were arranging the venue in an orderly manner, “You will go to bed later.”
Call me again and I’ll respond to your sleep. Although Gu Shichen didn’t say anything, Zhong Lingling heard the meaning, and the corners of her lips curved: “Why, call me when you’re stuck? Is there something? ”
“You will come tomorrow, right?” Gu Shichen asked cautiously.
Every time she sees Gu Shichen’s rigorous work, Zhong Lingling’s mind always has the image of Mr. Gu in the shopping mall with a lot of thunder and power.
But every time she was with her, this tall image collapsed instantly, leaving only the timid and honest image of Grandma Liu who was just entering the Grand View Garden as she walked on thin ice.
“How many times have you asked.” Zhong Lingling took off the western headband on her head, put it on the bedside table, dimmed the lamp, and tucked into the quilt.
“You don’t want me to go, and you keep hinting at me.”
“You…” Gu Shichen knew she was teasing him, but he couldn’t help being fooled. He was a little flustered, and hurriedly denied, “I didn’t, I didn’t want the driver to pick you up, you …”
“No need.” Zhong Lingling squinted her eyes and was about to fall asleep, her voice was slow, “Tomorrow you must be very busy over there, I’ll go over by myself.”
“It’s a little out of the way, far away.”
Gu’s old house is halfway up the mountain, they have never taken a taxi, and they don’t know if the taxi driver is willing to come.
“It’s okay, it’s about adding more money.” Zhong Lingling’s breathing has been stretched.
Her brain was chaotic, Gu Shichen’s voice drifted in the outer layer of her brain, and every word became more and more vague.
Aware that Zhong Lingling was sleepy, Gu Shichen hurriedly said the most crucial sentence to end the conversation: “Remember to call me if you have something, and call me when you get there, I’ll pick you up.”
Gu Shichen was not in a hurry when he didn’t hear Zhong Lingling’s answer.
After all, it is a large banquet, and the people who can receive the invitation are well-known people in the Kyoto business district.
Like Zhong Lingling, there are very few people who have handwritten invitations from the host, and they can count them with both hands. Naturally, Zhong Lingling attaches great importance to this banquet.
The next day began in the morning to prepare for the afternoon banquet.
First I went to the dress customization store to get a haute couture dress, and then went to the beauty store to do my hair and makeup, and completely transformed myself.
She was wearing an improved version of a bright red knee-length cheongsam, her long smooth black hair was permed into a pear blossom curl at the bottom, and it was loosely draped on her back. There was no heavy makeup on her face. Slightly brightened the complexion and applied a pale red lipstick that was closer to the lip color.
Standing on an eight-centimeter black stiletto heel, slender pure black straps are tied around the slender white ankles, with bright colors.
Smiles like a dignified and elegant lady from a rich family in the Republic of China who came out of a documentary.
“Miss Zhong, you’re in great shape.”
Slim but not thin, **** but not plump, Yingying’s slender waist can be circled with one hand, and the smallest cheongsam can have **** free.
touch.
I don’t know if Miss Zhong’s skin is as easy to touch.
Zhong Lingling was completely unaware of the ‘salty pig hand” of the shopping guide, apparently she was also very satisfied with this cheongsam.
After meeting Aunt Qin last time, she was shocked by her cheongsam outfit.
Aunt Qin is not the best woman she has ever seen, but she must be the woman with the most classical temperament and the most dignified charm in wearing a cheongsam. Erer.
In the end, I could only ask Aunt Qin on WeChat, this shop was recommended by Aunt Qin.
The cheongsam is really well made, with the embroidered pattern on the inside, the gold thread overlock, and even the silk version, but she wears it without the calm and gentle daughter of Aunt Qin. taste.
Maybe it didn’t hold up? But it was enough for her.
“Thank you.” Zhong Lingling smiled sweetly at the shopping guide in the mirror, took the bag handed over by the other party, and turned around to go out.
Leaving the shopping guide to watch her slender and graceful back flooded with citric acid.
No wonder Gu Shichen was worried, it turned out that the old house of the Gu family was really far away, and many taxis were reluctant to go.
It will take a long time to go there, and you will not be able to attract people on the way back.
After being rejected a few times, Zhong Lingling found a forty-five-year-old man who looked honest and honest and started throwing money directly. When it hit four figures, the other party was slightly shaken.
After doubling up, the other party nodded.
When they really got to the mountain road, Zhong Lingling once again really realized the reason for the other party’s hesitation.
