Chapter 107: Encounter on a snowy night
Although she was in a bad mood, she still hadn't forgotten how Su Yarou scolded Xia Rulin in front of everyone at the previous dinner.
"I think so. He is not an easily satisfied person. If your brother were like Gu Jingrui, she would probably stay with him for the rest of her life."
It is true that people change, but at the same time, some people's nature remains unchanged.
Although Xia Lichen was curious at the beginning, if Su Yarou liked a life of wealth and power, why didn't she choose Gu Jingrui from the beginning?
But Zhao Mengjie had analyzed it for her before, because no matter how rich Gu Jingrui's family was at that time, he had not yet graduated, while Xia Rulin had already made his own choices.
By following Gu Jingrui, there was no guarantee how his family would treat her, but by following Xia Lichen's brother, she could safely spend her time from high school to college.
In this regard, Xia Lichen was also amazed that Zhao Mengjie was so good at analyzing people's psychology.
"But I still hope they can continue to tie them up. After all, a person like my brother is a perfect match for him. It's just a pain for my sister Yu Tong."
She said this not because she sincerely wished them well, but because she was afraid that Xia Rulin would entangle Sister Yu Tong again in the future.
"Yeah, but speaking of it, after hearing what you said, I think Gu Jingrui might really like you."
Zhao Mengjie continued while eating the fruit she handed her.
Xia Lichen's eyes trembled slightly, but then he immediately shook his head.
"I don't want to love anyone anymore for the time being. I just want to deal with my mental problems."
After hearing this, Zhao Mengjie looked at her eyes, feeling a little more distressed again.
"It's okay. As I said just now, my condition is actually not serious. The doctor said that although it cannot be cured, it can be maintained in a good condition."
She handed the other person a piece of cut apple again. She knew that Zhao Mengjie was not good at expressing emotions, but she was very happy to be friends with her.
"Yeah, it's hard to say who you will truly fall in love with in this life. You see, I'm alone now. My parents haven't pushed me. Anyway, my family's business is the most important thing."
Zhao Mengjie spent a whole day playing at home and went back very late in the evening. However, she said that she could stay for two months this time, so she usually came to see her when she had time.
Looking at the cars going away, Xia Lichen felt a sense of loss in her heart. She didn't want to see Li Xin and the others, but mostly she still wanted to rest alone.
The days were still so ordinary, and when it got colder it would be a snowy day. Zhao Mengjie would often come to play with her during this time, and the two of them would watch movies and eat.
But now she is going to another place.
"I'm used to running outside, but no matter what, you should go back. Li Xin and Tang Lin miss you very much. I went to your house the day before yesterday, and they were quite disappointed when they talked about you."
This was the last time I came to see her before leaving. As if she thought of something, she couldn't help but persuade her.
"Of course I have my own arrangements, it doesn't matter, and I have been off medication for half a month now, and I don't have any bad mental conditions, so I want to wait until next spring before going back."
She began to get used to her current life, especially after she found that her condition gradually improved, she became even more nostalgic.
"Really? That's great. I won't say more. It's up to you to come."
Zhao Mengjie was also very happy for her. After the two of them chatted for a while, Zhao Mengjie drove away.
In the next few days, the snow was really getting heavier and heavier, but Xia Lichen seemed not to feel the cold and still liked to go out for a walk.
No, seeing that the meat and vegetables at home were almost finished, she took her money and mobile phone and went out. However, this time she did not go to the supermarket near her home, but wanted to visit a shopping mall farther away.
The snow outside was really heavy, and the road was even more snowy. All the buildings and cars were covered with thick snow. She couldn't help but feel lucky that she was wearing thick enough clothes.
Even she only has one down jacket, so she can just go to the mall and buy two more.
However, the Chinese New Year was approaching, so she looked at the pedestrians in the car and thought they were out buying New Year goods.
Not only that, even the shopping mall was very lively, with items on sale and activities everywhere. She couldn't hold back and bought a lot of clothes, pants, food and drinks.
It wasn't until I walked outside the mall carrying the several bags of things that I was dumbfounded.
"It doesn't matter, these are all necessities anyway."
This kept comforting herself, but because there were too many things, she was still walking at a decent speed, and she couldn't wait for the bus, so she had to think of taking a taxi back.
But obviously, in such a snowy day, even taxis on the road were rare. She had to pray for a taxi to come while shivering from the cold.
Don't ask Xia Lichen why she didn't drive away her car before leaving. She was in a hurry and forgot about it.
She waited like this for most of the day, and as the time gradually reached evening, she clearly saw that although there was a taxi, it was obvious that she had someone else in it.
"Please! Isn't there an empty car?"
It gets dark early in winter, so Xia Lichen really regretted not going to the bus stop to wait for the bus.
"Do you need me to send you off?"
Just when Xia Lichen was thinking about whether to go to the bus stop and wait for the bus, a strange and familiar voice slowly sounded from her ears.
Although they hadn't seen each other for several months, she still recognized the luxurious car in front of her at a glance. Who was sitting there if it wasn't Gu Yanrui?
Before Xia Lichen could answer, Gu Yanrui walked out of the car and looked at her with a smile.
He was wearing a black coat today, and underneath was a suit with an all-too-familiar look. With such meticulous dressing, coupled with his face that was even more beautiful than a woman's, he looked like a vampire on such a snowy night.
"No need, Mr. Gu."
Xia Lichen even forgot how to say hello to the other party and just retreated in discomfort.
"You have moved to a new company, so are you unfamiliar with me?"
Gu Yanrui was a little surprised, but he was well covered and was not discovered by Xia Lichen.
"No, Mr. Gu, I'm just surprised that I met you here."
Regarding Gu Yanrui, her mood was particularly complicated. Although she was very grateful to him for taking care of her until now, she would never forget the first ridiculous thing after she regained her memory.
"Don't be surprised, I just happened to come here to do some work. Get in the car."
In fact, what Xia Lichen didn't notice was that even though the other party could sit in the car and call her up, he got out of the car and walked towards her in a hurry.
Thinking that it would be embarrassing to refuse all the time, and the other person was Li Xin's current boss, he could only nod.
Sitting in the warm car, she felt that the stiffness all over her body had improved a lot. It was indeed too cold today.
"How are you doing at Chen's now?"
After a moment of silence, Gu Yanrui spoke first.
Chen? As soon as she mentioned these two words, she could think of how she was exploded by Situ Ruo that night, and how she was kidnapped home by her brother after that.
"I'm no longer an employee there."
She sighed softly and then answered slowly.
"Don't you want to get your boyfriend back? Or does he finally remember your previous memories?"
Sure enough, when everyone heard her say that she finally wanted to let go, it was because the person she loved was back, but in fact it was not the case at all.
"That doesn't matter anymore, Mr. Gu. If he could really remember who I am early on, I probably wouldn't have resigned, right?"
She suddenly laughed, smiling so nonchalantly.
Gu Yanrui couldn't help but turn his head to look at her. It was obvious that Xia Lichen in front of him was completely unfamiliar to him.
"Then you want to come back to the company? If you come back, I still have great faith in your ability."
The unexpected answer made Xia Lichen look at Gu Yanrui in disbelief.
Although at first she didn't know how to face him because of the initial incident, and she didn't know whether he was joking or doing it on purpose, but now...
"You cried again."
Gu Yanrui slightly raised the corners of her lips and handed over a pack of tissues without leaving any trace.
"No... I just, I just didn't expect that you would still take care of me like you did before... In fact, the woman who was outraged by the eldest lady of the Situ family at Mr. Gu's dinner that day was..."
"It's okay, I already know everything."
Before Xia Lichen could continue speaking with some excitement, Gu Yanrui continued.
"I know your temperament, so you definitely didn't mean to have a problem with her that night, but I have to say that I was quite frightened just watching the video. I didn't expect that the only daughter of the Situ family would be so cruel.
"
He is always like this, although sometimes he is strict, but sometimes he can play a soothing role like a big brother.
"Thank you for your willingness to believe in me, Mr. Gu. Even my boyfriend refuses to believe me."
She laughed sarcastically at herself with tears in her eyes. Just because she kept silent about some things didn't mean she didn't care. It was just that she finally let go and didn't want to keep mentioning them anymore.
"I have never seen a silly girl like you. He doesn't remember anything. Of course he is a brand new and completely strange person to you."
He didn't think Xia Lichen's behavior was ridiculous. On the contrary, after learning about her experience, he instinctively felt sorry for her.
"I won't do it anymore, because I have already let him go."
The reason why I shed tears was not because of Chen Shaohua, but because in such a bad situation, Gu Yanrui was able to give herself a second chance to return to the company, and she still trusted herself like that.
So, she made an agreement with the other party that she would return to the Review Group in the spring of next year, but she would no longer be Gu Yanrui's personal assistant, but would slowly start from scratch.
Gu Yanrui smiled and agreed, respecting her choice.
After returning home, Xia Lichen felt an indescribable sense of relaxation all over her body, so she went to take a hot bath.
