In the evening, after Lin Yuer took a shower, she read on the sofa with a thick book in her arms.
When Gu Xicen came in, she was fascinated.
Approaching her, he sat next to her, glanced at the book she was reading, and raised his eyebrows, "This is an ancient book. Where did you find it?"
"I went to the library in the afternoon." Lin Yuer didn't even raise her eyes, completely ignoring the fact that there was a handsome man next to her.
She always believed that China, with its five thousand years of civilized history, must have a lot of experience in beauty care! That’s why she borrowed relevant books and studied them with great concentration.
Gu Xicen stared at her for a long time, then stood up, took the things Lin Hui gave him today, and put them on the table, "Your mother asked me to give this to you."
Lin Yuer's body trembled slightly and she raised her head, "You went to see my mother?"
Gu Xicen said "Yeah", "She has left."
Lin Yuer was not surprised. She lowered her head and continued to look, "She will not stay here."
Because, except for the man she loves, she will not stop for anyone.
Lin Yuer is used to it.
Gu Xicen took out the book in her hand, pulled her cheek, forced her to look at her, and stared at her with clear eyes, "This is the last thing she gave to you. I'll put it here. It's up to you whether you want to read it or not."
After that, he got up and left the bedroom.
Lin Yue'er lowered her eyes, sat quietly for a moment, then turned to scan the envelope on the table.
After struggling again and again, she picked it up and opened it. Inside, there was a small recorder and a gold tips bag. She put down the recorder first, opened the tip bag, and found a small finger-thick paper roll inside.
, judging from the paper, it was old. She unfolded it carefully, and was shocked when she saw the content on it.
She is engaged in cosmetics research, and she can tell at a glance that what is written on this paper is an ancient formula. Many of the ingredients are unheard of!
She was stunned and immediately turned on the recorder again.
There was silence for a while, and for some reason, her heart became nervous.
After a while, the voices of Lin Hui and Gu Changtian came from inside...
Lin Yue'er's eyes widened. As the conversation between the two deepened, everything about the past of the Lin and Gu families and why she married into the Gu family slowly came to light. However, only Lin Hui was not there.
She revealed the footage of her rape, a secret she planned to take to her grave, and never, ever wanted her daughter to know.
Her face began to turn pale, and she never thought that she would become a pawn of her mother's revenge...
At this moment, Lin Hui's voice rang out, "Xiaoyue,"
Lin Yuer was shocked, raised her head, and stared at it.
"You should have understood about the past. Yes, I was not a responsible mother. In order to take revenge, I even took advantage of you... Is it too late to apologize to you now?"
Lin Yue'er bit her lips to prevent herself from crying.
"Have you seen that recipe? That is the only thing left by your grandpa. I give it to you. I believe you will make it more perfect. As for this recording, it is just a copy. Even if I don't pursue it anymore
I have to guard against Gu Changtian, if he troubles you again, I will not hesitate to announce it to the public, let the world see his hypocritical face, and let his reputation be discredited!"
"A person's life is actually about constant growth. Having experienced terrible things does not mean that you have to live in darkness. You are doing very well now."
The recorder turns off automatically.
Lin Yuer held on tightly and couldn't stop crying.
It's very poignant and heartbreaking, and I can't tell who it is for.
For my grandpa whom I have never met? Or for the once famous Lin family? Or, for my mother? Or for Mint, Gu Wangchuan, or... herself.
At some point, Gu Xicen came to her side, looking at her with tender eyes like jade.
He took her into his arms, reached out and patted her gently as if to comfort her, "It's okay, it's all over."
Lin Yue'er held on to him tightly, closed her eyes and bit her lips.
This embrace has magical power, as if it can abandon all the chaos. As long as she stays here, this is the most peaceful place in the world, sheltering her from wind and rain and avoiding pain.
"Xicen, they have all left, and I am the only one left. Please don't leave again... okay?"
She was so fragile and vulnerable, which made Gu Xicen really feel distressed.
He caressed her tear-stained face with pity, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled tenderly, "No, not unless I die."
"Fool! Who made you swear such an oath?" Lin Yuer's reaction was very strong. The more she cared about him, the more harsh she became. Even if he just said it casually, she didn't like it!
Gu Xicen put his chin on the top of her head, hugged her lazily and said, "If you are afraid that I will die early, then just marry me."
Lin Yue'er was startled, frowned, lowered her eyes, and just snuggled into his arms without speaking.
It's one thing for two people to fall in love, but it's another thing to get married.
Lin Yuer always remembered that she once married his eldest brother...
Gu Xicen closed her eyes lightly and looked down at her. Although her chest was a little tight, she still smiled and said, "I have plenty of time, and I will wait for you to be ready."
Knowing that he tolerated her again, Lin Yuer tightened her arms and whispered, "I'm sorry."
He smiled and ruffled her hair, "You don't have to apologize to me for this little thing. I can wait."
My heart is full of emotions and I can’t be more moved.
She closed her eyes lustfully, with a peaceful smile on her lips, enjoying his embrace with peace of mind.
At this moment, Gu Xicen frowned, stretched out his hand to touch his nose, and his palm was bright red again. He raised his eyebrows, immediately covered it with his hand, and gently pushed her away, "I'll get you a glass of water.
"After saying that, he strode away.
Lin Yue'er blinked her eyes, without thinking too much, and picked up the recipe again, carefully looking at each raw material and production step. It could be clearly seen that there were traces of writing by future generations on it. She guessed it was
Grandpa.
Gu Xicen strode into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and washed away the blood on her face. However, the nosebleed did not stop at all, and the water in the entire pool was almost dyed red.
He frowned and covered it with paper. It took him a long time to stop the nosebleed.
He raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror. His clear eyes narrowed a little and became heavier...
The next day, Gu Xicen received a call from Aunt Hua and learned that his grandfather was admitted to the hospital, so he rushed there immediately.
Seeing the sallow-faced grandfather on the hospital bed, he seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. He frowned, and although he was weak, he was still full of energy, "I said I'm fine, why are you making such a fuss? I'll give it to you this afternoon.
I've gone through the discharge procedures, and even if something happens, I don't want to die in the hospital!"
