Chapter 312: Late Apologies
Li Siwei pulled Xue Ziqing's arm tightly, her face was already full of tears, she didn't know what the two of them were whispering there, Xiang Mian couldn't help but feel a little strange when she looked at this scene.
The housekeeper turned his head to Xiang Mian's surprised eyes, listened to the intermittent cry coming from the living room, shook his head at Xiang Mian and didn't speak, and walked over to the restaurant not far away with Xiang Mian.
"Miss Xiang, juice." Shu Nian took out double the juice from the kitchen, put it in front of Xiang Mian, and then turned around and walked outside the house, ready to be busy with his own business.
There was such a big movement in the living room, and it was his own family affairs that were being discussed, and the housekeeper had already sent the irrelevant servants away. Xiang Mian lowered his head to look at the liquid shaking in the water glass, frowning and listening to the sound from the living room.
"Uncle Chu, is there something going on?" Xiang Mian raised his head and looked at the housekeeper standing aside, and asked in a low voice, "By the way, where did Gu Chen go." Turning his head around, he didn't see the figure he had been thinking about, and the mystery in Xiang Mian's heart was getting bigger and bigger.
At first, she wanted to come over to see Xue Ziqing's situation, the journey back from Milan was too long, and it would have a certain impact on her body, but Xiang Mian didn't expect to see Li Siwei also here.
Xiang Mian stayed in the Gu family when she was young, and she didn't see Gu Chen when the family encountered changes after that, and now more than ten years have passed, and she is not very clear about some of the things that happened, and no one has told her. She just thought that Xue Ziqing was Gu Chen's experience, but she didn't expect to know Li Siwei, and when Gu Chen was emotional yesterday, what she said to herself was obviously that the two of them had known each other before, but if it was an old acquaintance, why should you be afraid to return to China?
"The young master is in the garden." The housekeeper took a few steps forward, stayed beside Xiang Mian, looked back at the living room and saw that there was no big movement, and then he spoke softly.
Listening to the housekeeper talking about the past in a heavy manner, Xiang Mian's heart was even more shocked, and he couldn't calm down for a long time when he sat on the chair. The events of that year, as a bystander, were already very shocking just by listening. No wonder Xue Ziqing didn't want to come back.
Twenty years ago, Gu Tiannan was Gu Chen's father, and it was not Li Siwei who was with him at that time, but Xue Ziqing, but because of the words of the matchmaker of his parents at that time, there was no free love at all, and the daughter-in-law that Gu Tiannan's parents identified was Li Siwei.
Li Siwei and Xue Ziqing have been friends since childhood, and Gu Tiannan couldn't resist the pressure from his family, so he wanted to elope with Xue Ziqing, so he asked Li Siwei to help spread the word, but after slowly getting in touch, he didn't think that Li Siwei actually had feelings for Gu Tiannan.
When it came to the appointed day, Gu Tiannan waited at the station for a day, and finally did not wait for Xue Ziqing, thinking that she had given up the relationship between the two people, so she returned home to accept Li Siwei, whom her parents liked. But I didn't expect that after a few months, I figured out that it was not Xue Ziqing who gave up, but Li Siwei in the middle who passed the word, which happened to be a day off.
Gu Tiannan, who knew the truth, wanted to be with Xue Ziqing again, but he didn't expect that at this time, Li Siwei was already pregnant, and after Xue Ziqing knew about it, he took the initiative to quit and give up this relationship.
Therefore, Gu Tiannan and Li Siwei have always felt sorry for Xue Ziqing in their hearts, and when Xue Ziqing was in debt, even if she sold her family property, she had to help her pay off all her debts.
As for Gu Chen...... Xiang Mian also knew what happened later. Xue Ziqing accepted the help of Gu Tiannan and Li Siwei, so he helped Gu Chen gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry.
Sighing softly, Xiang Mian recalled what the housekeeper said just now, and was even more embarrassed. Turning his head to look at the two people not far away, they all looked sad, and Xiang Mian couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
The lives of these three are probably not easy for anyone. No wonder Xue Ziqing didn't want to return to China, because he was afraid of letting Li Siwei see him, and he was even more afraid that their family would worry.
When Gu Chen came in from the garden, he looked at Xiang Mian sitting at the dining table and looked at the two people not far away, frowning slightly.
In fact, as early as when Xiang Mian came to the living room, Gu Chen had already come back from the garden, standing in the kitchen, listening to the housekeeper talking about old things, Gu Chen also felt uncomfortable.
Thinking of the situation when Xiang Mian was dragged away by Wen Xian yesterday afternoon, he didn't want to stop it, but what could he do. Xiang Mian had work to deal with, and Xue Ziqing was still in the house at that time.
But he didn't expect Xiang Mian to come back so soon, and when he left last night, Gu Chen hesitated for a long time to tell Xiang Mian, but it wasn't until the sound of boarding the plane came out, looking at the short line of words on the screen, it didn't come out in the end.
Gu Chen knew that Xiang Mian's team was supposed to be flying this afternoon, but now that he appeared in front of him, the man's heart was also very excited. He thought that there would be nothing between himself and Xiang Mian, but if he wasn't thinking about himself, why would the girl be in a hurry to come back.
Thinking of this, he walked out quickly, bypassed the dining table on the side, pulled up Xiang Mian's arm directly, and walked to the room upstairs.
"Gu Chen, where are you going, you let go first." Xiang Mian was thinking about things just now, but he didn't expect Gu Chen to suddenly appear, now Xue Ziqing and Li Siwei are in the living room, Gu Chen is pulling himself like this, Xiang Mian is afraid of being seen by others.
Ignoring the girl's slapping behind him, Gu Chen walked straight upstairs, he had heard of the entanglements of the previous generation a long time ago, but every time he heard it, he felt uncomfortable, especially this time, Xu is now that he has someone he likes, and when he hears such a thing again, he has a feeling of empathy.
"Bang!" pushed open the door, closed it directly, pulled the girl behind him, and pressed against the wall on the side. Gu Chen stretched out his hand to support the wall in front of him, looked down at Xiang Mian's fair face, and quietly took Xiang Mian's hand hanging beside him with the other hand.
"Mianmian......" Gu Chen pressed against Xiang Mian's forehead and whispered the girl's name. Just listened to the housekeeper talk about the things of the year, and he didn't want to miss it with Xiang Mian anymore, he put it down in the past half a year, saying that he didn't think about it, but whether he really let go in his heart, Gu Chen himself knew best.
Xiang Mian listened to Gu Chen's whispering voice in his ear, feeling the increasingly masculine atmosphere around him, the crimson flush slowly crept up from his ears, and his fair face revealed a little bit of redness.
Seeing Gu Chen getting closer to him little by little, Xiang Mian's heart jumped even more suddenly, his eyes kept sweeping around, and he didn't dare to look at the man's eyes.
