Gu Xicen was in the rest room on the third floor, holding a cup of green tea and looking at the bustling entrance through the window, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"Knock knock knock"
Gu Wangchuan stood at the door, half-smiling but not smiling, "Hey, you look good."
"Brother," Gu Xicen also smiled, "Thank you for coming."
"Don't say that, because of the cooperative relationship, I also want to be praised." He walked in, looked at the back of his hand that was bruised, and frowned, "How much do you lose every day? How come you are like this?"
"three times."
He said, not paying much attention.
Gu Wangchuan sat next to him, and both of them were silent for a while. After a while, he turned around and said, "Xicen, don't think too much about what happened last time. You also know grandpa's temper."
"How could I blame him?"
Gu Xicen smiled softly, like a warm spring breeze. His illness did not diminish his extraordinary charm, but instead gave him a frail temperament that made people feel relaxed and excited.
Gu Wangchuan nodded, "That's good."
The two brothers were sitting here, chatting for a while, but no one touched the sensitive topic between them.
"General manager," Amy came up and reminded, "it's time for us to leave."
Gu Wangchuan responded, stood up, and patted his shoulder lightly, "Take good care of yourself. I have a date, so I'll leave first."
"Um."
Watching her elder brother leave, Gu Xicen slowly lowered her eyes and sat back on the chair.
He and his eldest brother have become what they are today. Although there will be disappointment and regret, they are helpless.
"Xicen," Lin Yuer walked up, "Why don't you go down?"
"The view here is great," he said with a chuckle.
Lin Yue'er stared at him, her eyes were as bright as the clear moon, and she could instantly see what was on his mind.
She walked over and hugged him from behind, wrapping her arms around his waist, "Xicen, I'm sorry."
The smile on his face gradually spread, "Silly girl, what are you saying you're sorry for?"
"Because..." She bit her lip, "I want to stay here and revitalize Bian Yujing, so... I have to face the past. And you, of course, have to accommodate me and not let outsiders know about us.
The relationship. And..." She touched her belly with her hand, "the existence of this child."
Gu Xicen smiled lightly, her eyes were as bright as autumn water, and the corners of her mouth were curved in a perfect and charming way, "I'm fine, I'm just afraid of bringing you trouble."
"I'm sorry, I was too willful. I should have considered your feelings." Lin Yuer said, tightening her arms and pressing her cheek against his back. Although she was still thin, it gave her an endless sense of security.
.
"After Bian Yujing opens, I will hand it over to a reliable person to take care of it. Let's get out of here, okay?"
Gu Xicen turned around, held her cheek in his hands, and stared at her, "Are you willing to do it?"
Lin Yue'er nodded without thinking, "As long as it can be reopened, my wish will have been fulfilled."
"I have an idea," he said.
Lin Yuer quickly asked, "What?"
"You can ask your mother to come back."
Lin Yue'er was stunned for a moment, looking a little unnatural, and looked away, "She... won't want to come back."
Gu Xicen stared at her and said gently, "If you don't try, how will you know? Compared to you, I think she will have deeper feelings for this place. So, she is the best candidate."
He still remembered her lonely back when she left. He knew that her father's tomb was here, and Lin Hui must want to stay on this land. However, because of her daughter, she felt that she was not qualified and would rather continue to stay alone.
abroad.
Lin Yuer struggled. Although she admitted that what he said was right, she did not have the courage to contact her mother. The gap between mother and daughter could not be eliminated without explaining the misunderstanding.
Not wanting to affect her mood, Gu Xicen reached out and patted her cheek, "It's not urgent, we'll talk about it later."
At this time, Misha went upstairs with Yang Liu and Zhang Jiajia, "Hey, how long will it take for you two to get tired of this? Xiaoyue, the opening ceremony is about to begin, so hurry up and get down."
"Yes." Lin Yuer nodded, glanced at Gu Xicen, "Xicen, let's come together."
He smiled and said, "Go ahead. I told you that the view here is very good."
Lin Yuer bit her lip and apologized more and more.
Yang Liu joked, "Hey, how long have we been separated before you can't bear to part with us?"
Lin Yuer just smiled and glanced at Gu Xicen with complicated eyes, "I'll be up later."
Gu Xicen nodded, "Go ahead."
After a few people left, he sat down exhausted.
Although the cancer cells were under control and the effect of chemotherapy was good, his physical strength was still slow to recover and he would feel tired after standing for a long time. But he didn't want to show it in front of Lin Yuer and didn't want her to worry.
It was very lively downstairs, and some old neighbors surrounded the place. At this time, a motorcade came from a distance, and the head of the car had a municipal logo on the front, and the license plate started with the word "a".
Someone exclaimed, "That's...the mayor's car?"
Instantly, the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak. Seeing the mayor's car approaching, Lin Yuer and others were stunned. She turned her head and asked Mi En in a low voice, "Did you invite me?"
Mi En also shook his head in confusion, "No."
Misha exclaimed, "Wow, does Bian Yujing have such great appeal? Even the mayor came to support him!"
At this moment, Zhang Jiajia raised her hand shyly, "It's me."
"Jiajia?" Yang Liu looked at her in surprise and asked in disbelief, "Did you invite the mayor here?"
She chuckled, "Yeah."
Lin Yuer was also surprised, "Jiajia, do you know the mayor?"
How can it be as simple as "knowing" the mayor if he can be invited here?
Mi En quickly said, "Xiaoyue, let's go there."
"Oh." Lin Yuer immediately greeted him.
The car door opened and the mayor came out. Several people came forward and expressed their gratitude. After the mayor smiled and expressed condolences, he followed Lin Yuer and walked in. When he passed by Zhang Jiajia, he stopped and smiled at Lin Yue.
Er said, "I heard that my daughter is going to work in Bian Yujing. I am really happy. This is a century-old brand. I believe that it will definitely become a star enterprise in our e-city."
"daughter?!"
Lin Yuer and Yang Liu both opened their mouths and looked at Zhang Jiajia in disbelief.
This girl is very good at keeping secrets, right?!
Zhang Jiajia winked at the two of them and whispered, "I'll explain it later~"
After being surprised, Lin Yuer just smiled and immediately accompanied the mayor to visit the old store.
Yang Liu was different. She hated deception among her friends the most. She immediately took Zhang Jiajia aside and scolded and lectured her. Zhang Jiajia tried to calm her down with some good words. In fact, she also understood in her heart that Jiajia was a very simple little girl.
As a girl, being the daughter of the mayor will put some pressure on her, but as long as her motives are pure, Yangliu will understand after she is angry.
