Volume 8 The Gate of the Past Chapter 457 The Afternoon of Thunderstorm (Part 1)
In the parking lot, the silver Audi with soft curves started slowly and drove towards the rain curtain at the exit. A little girl with a beautiful bow on her head was rolling around on the huge white bear in the back seat, letting out a laugh like a silver bell.
"It's such a stupid car. It's a men's model. How can I equip you with one like this?"
"It has a lot of space, so it's convenient for Taotao to play in the back. I think it's pretty good to drive. When I meet people I don't know very well, I just ask my husband's car to come out."
"Isn't it still too old to take care of yourself?"
"Please, there is someone in charge... just remember that I am lazy..."
"I heard it's a very important cooperation project. Is it okay to just skip work and come out like this?"
"It's not a very important thing..."
Many times, when there are too many things to say in the heart, people tend to become reserved. In the front row, two people who are very familiar with each other kept talking as calmly as possible because of the agitation in their hearts.
A friend I haven't seen for many years, Yahan is sitting in the passenger seat with a touch of makeup on her face. It's hard to tell that not long ago, this beautiful and elegant woman was squatting against the wall with her mouth covered under the gaze of many people.
, letting tears flow down his cheeks as he choked uncontrollably, surprising everyone beyond measure.
Of course, the more reason for this is naturally because of the little girl who is playing with the white bear in the back seat. Without the existence of this little "third party", she thinks she would probably pounce on it directly. Her mood was agitated.
, it was impossible to drive, the car drove into the rain curtain, and when she turned from the exit of the parking lot, she glanced at the car window next to her, and her white fingers quietly wiped away the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of her eyes.
"Mom, are you going to cry again?"
This action may be to avoid Jiaming who is driving, but she cannot avoid her daughter in the back seat. Seeing her mother's actions, the little girl's face dropped. In her limited memory, her mother's image has always been gentle and cheerful.
Damn, she saw her crying several times in a row today, which really made her little heart a little uncomfortable.
"No. Mom didn't cry."
"Uncle, you are a bad person!"
Yahan just wanted to say a few words of comfort. Xiao Taotao was already shouting at Jiaming who was driving. "You made mommy cry. I don't want you anymore!"
"Well……"
Jiaming opened his mouth and felt a little helpless. However, he was responsible for this matter. Yahan looked at his speechless expression and couldn't help laughing. She turned around and explained: "Taotao is good. Mom is not crying. Mom is happy.
……very happy……"
After explaining it over and over again several times, the little girl finally accepted the incomprehensible fact that her mother was crying because she was happy. Now that she understood that her mother was not sad because of this uncle, she no longer felt sad.
Holding grudges again, he lay on the white bear and asked: "Uncle, let me ask you a question."
"OK."
“Can this bear fly?”
"Um?"
"Because I saw it flying over from the roof of the building over there. Did it take you to mom's company?"
When the little girl said this, Yahan showed a doubtful look, and Dai Jiaming smiled and said: "Yes, the sister below wouldn't let me go up, so I had to ask him to fly in with me." Then he roughly understood.
After hearing some things, I couldn’t help but smile.
"Flying here from upstairs? Why didn't you make a call?"
"I forgot to ask anyone."
"I gave it to Lingjing..."
Having said this, Yahan nodded. Since Jia Ming came out to see him, even if Lingjing knew about it, he would naturally not be able to ask Lingjing for her phone number. She should be the first person he meets when Jia Ming comes back.
. She thought like this and fell silent for a while. Xiao Taotao saw that the atmosphere between the two people in front of her was a bit strange, so she did not continue to ask about the bear for a while. After a while, Yahan said softly: "Don't you have a headache anymore?"
"Okay..." Jia Ming nodded, "This mess of things has been going on for so many years..."
"When... did you come back?"
"last night."
Yahan nodded slightly: "Last night, Lingjing was singing at the concert. Later, I heard that there was a car accident outside the stadium, and there seemed to be an explosion or something. Then there were accidents in several streets. I couldn't find Lingjing.
This matter..." She looked into Jiaming's eyes and asked after getting a positive answer: "Is Lingjing okay?"
"It's okay." Jiaming thought for a while, "Shasha is back too. You haven't seen her in a few years."
"We have to see you." Yahan laughed. "Let's not talk about it. Anyway, this afternoon... is for me and Taotao, right?"
Jia Ming could never answer this somewhat self-pitying tone. After a moment, Yahan smiled and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Let's go to the Sacred Heart. They still left the villa for me, but I haven't been there for a long time.
.”
The car broke through the rain curtain and drove smoothly to the Sacred Heart College at the other end of the city. In the car, there was a faint whisper of Yahan's tired voice.
"I've been very tired recently and wanted to take a rest... It's all because of you. I cried in front of so many people today. I don't know how to face them tomorrow. They are all my subordinates..."
"What! Gu Jiaming...how is that possible!"
At the same moment when the car drove out of Zhang's Heavy Industry, in an office building not far away, Dongfang Wan, who was receiving classmates, suddenly opened his eyes wide. Xu Yiting, who was passing by the door, stuck her head out to take a look, and then
Because someone called her, she hurried away.
Sitting in front of her at this time was Wang Tujia, Luo Jingwen, Liang Mingchao, and Li Song. They originally thought it was a simple reminiscence of old classmates, but they never expected to hear such news. Seeing Dongfang Wan was surprised.
With an expression on his face, Liang Mingchao also frowned.
"Yes, but it was indeed him that I saw today, and his girlfriend went with him. It was at your house. We all talked about the class reunion together, and he also said that he would definitely go there if he had time.
I heard before that he was in jail, right? Liu Huaisha ran away because of being a gangster, but today... Mr. Fang Zhitian is also at your house. He seems to take him very seriously and even invites him in to chat alone.
It’s been a long time…”
"Uncle Fang's land is indeed over there at my home. But I've only gone back once recently..." After murmuring, Dongfang Wan sat down on the chair and subconsciously wanted to pick up the tea cup, but her fingers were burned by the hot tea.
, she put her thumb in her lips and sucked it gently. Her unintentional move instantly made this woman, who was always known for being proud among her peers, look extra sexy. The expressions of Liang Mingchao and Li Song both changed at that moment.
It seemed a little unnatural. Dongfang Wan didn't realize there was anything wrong with this kind of thinking behavior that was usually only shown in completely private situations. Soon after, she raised her head with a smile.
"Ignore him, it's always a good thing to see old classmates. Yi Ting and I should be going to the class reunion. By the way, I heard some time ago that Jingwen, you won an award for your research project at school. Is there such a thing...
…”
Shaking her head, she had already freed her mind from the emotions she had just felt. She talked about some things she knew about the four people, and the five of them chatted happily for a while. The time was actually still very early, for office workers.
Not long after the afternoon started, when Dongfang Wan invited them to have dinner together in the evening, although the four of them had some ideas, they still declined. Dongfang Wan's company here had just started and it was extremely busy. They could never stay here forever.
Stay until evening.
Over there, Xu Yiting finally found some free time and came over to chat with the four of them. After seeing them off, she saw Xiao Wan in a neat black dress standing with her hands folded when she passed by Dongfang Wan's office.
The two of them had been together for many years in front of the window in the pouring rain. Naturally, she could see that there was a vague feeling of confusion and loss in the back view.
"Xiaowan, are you tired?"
"Uh..." Dongfang turned his gaze away and shook his head after a moment, "Nothing. I'm thinking about something." His tone was consistent and confident, but he looked really tired. It's no wonder, this one
Over the past many months, she has been exhausted mentally and physically. Sometimes Xu Yiting also thinks that Xiaowan's only shortcoming is that she takes everything too seriously.
After Yi Ting left, Dongfang Wan picked up the phone from the table and dialed her brother's number. Soon after, the call was connected.
"Brother, let me ask you something. Today Wang Tujia and the others came to send me invitations to the class reunion. They said they arrived at our house in the morning and met Gu Jiaming and Liu Huaisha. Is that true?"
Dongfang Lu smiled there, and soon after, received a positive reply. Dongfang Wan's eyes widened.
"...how is it possible...isn't he dead? You built a grave for him and said he would bury it there...how could it be...well, no matter what, he's not dead yet...the Ying family will
How about it? When Ying Zifeng... died yesterday, even Ying Hai gave birth to Ying Zilan? God... Jiaming did it? "
Dongfang Wan probably said something over there. Dongfang Wan's expression froze. She blinked her eyes and opened her mouth without saying anything for a long time. It took a long time before she uttered a protest. For the first time, her tone stuttered.
"...Are you kidding? I'm worried about him... Where is I? It's... Jian Suyan... It's not like you don't know that I've always been interested in Sister Suyan, and... and... Yi
Ting, you know, Sister Suyan has helped her a lot. She helped her quit drugs, encouraged her, and lent her money. She has made a lot of money in the past few years, and she always wanted to say thank you and pay her back.
But Mr. Zhang didn’t know the whereabouts of Sister Su Yan, and said that Jia Ming, the only one who could contact her, had disappeared. Now that Jia Ming is back, then..."
After finding a suitable excuse, she began to speak eloquently. In the heavy rain, a white light flashed outside the window. After a few seconds, her voice suddenly stopped.
"What did you say……"
Thunder roared and rolled past the window. She stood in front of her desk and maintained that posture for about ten seconds. Then she slowly lowered her hand, hitting the microphone on the table, and her eyes were a little dazed.
The rain was still falling, and she didn't turn on the lights in the office, so everything seemed a little dim as the sky changed. She stood there, like a beautiful silhouette on the gray background. Soon after, she sat down slowly in the darkness and moved
He still had the habitual elegance that he had developed over a long period of time, but the dazed aura still showed up uncontrollably. The brother's last words seemed to still echo in the surrounding air.
"...Hey! Hey, it's thundering? Can you hear me clearly... You haven't told me much about him in the past few years, and you thought you already knew... Jian Suyan is Gu Jiaming pretending to be... Although there is no
It's still hard to tell who the real Jian Suyan is, but when you and Xu Yiting meet Jian Suyan, it's already clear to everyone... You're not children, so there's no need to hide this from you anymore, so you won't be deceived by him.
, Haha... Hey, did you hear that... I know this is hard to accept, okay, I'll hang up, you can think about it for yourself... Come back when you have time, Uncle Fang is probably leaving, something happened at the Ying family
After that, there will be a vacuum in all aspects. If you want to show your strength, this is a good opportunity. You can use your small skills to make a big difference..."
