Chapter 107: The Past Is Like the Wind
She glanced up at the neon night outside the door and smiled gently at the clerk, as it was rare to see her dressed in an ordinary, fair and kind way.
Most of the luxury clerks have a kind of pride, seeing the expensive lady wearing gorgeous clothes, they all shouted to meet the young grandmother, thoughtfully and politely provide fruits, juices, and various services, just to be favored, only need a single order, can make them earn a lot of money that month, of course, Xiang Mian also enjoyed this kind of life in the past, at that time her mother's tutor was very strict, and Xiang Mian was not allowed to be so squeamish since she was a child, so although every time Xiang Mian entered the store, their attitude was very enthusiastic, Xiang Mian obediently refused.
Although she had never been treated like this, many of the noble ladies who accompanied her did so, and even the family conditions were very poor at that time*, which had already seen the first signs at that time.
At that time, the family was very poor, Chen Tian wanted to save face, and always refused to go to his sister's house to ask for money, but he didn't care about those things, the family had no money, so he took Chen Mengmeng to Xiang Mian's house, Xiang Mian's mother was also kind, and every time she didn't have enough money, she had to take her to buy some clothes.
* As soon as I entered this kind of store, my back was straight, and my eyes were full of yearning for the delicate dresses hanging on the shelves.
Xiang Mian was a little distracted and fell into memories, her mother's kind smile always appeared in her mind, Xiang Mian didn't see their last appearance, but they kept their education in mind.
"Miss, are you feeling unwell, do you need any help?"
The clerk's words brought Xiang Mian back to her senses, she smiled bitterly, shook her head, and then closed the door of the luxury store with a clean and recognizable door.
Walking on the street like a wandering spirit, watching the dim light fall at the feet, the night will always stir up the past that she does not want to recall, Xiang Mian walked to the crossroads, the zebra crossing was in front of her, the dazzling white continued to magnify in the line of sight, that day was originally her birthday, her parents deliberately took the time to say that they wanted to surprise her, and the two of them were smashed at such an intersection, and since then she has become a duckweed without a home.
A line of clear tears was left in Xiang Mian's dejected eyes, and the psychological pain surged again, she couldn't help but cover her chest tightly with her hands, even breathing would bring pain.
"Mom...... I miss you ......."
Her whispered murmur was swallowed up by the sound of traffic, and finally came to naught, Xiang Mian slowly sat on the side of the road, watching the cars coming and going, she had avoided this scene for a long time, she thought that she would not be able to face it in her life, but in fact, time is really a magical thing, so magical that she can face the pain that she has not dared to face for a long time.
After Gu Chen was called over by the director, his eyes kept looking at Xiang Mian who was sitting in the corner, and Zhou Yangjun held the high feet of the wine glass in his hand, and lifted it with a smile.
"Gu Shao, this is being stolen by a beauty."
Gu Chen looked back when he heard this, his cold eyes were as deep as the sea, and he hooked his lips to answer.
"Really? I don't know how the third child will feel after seeing Chen Mengmeng. ”
Zhou Yangjun's movements were unnatural for a moment, and then he put the cup on the table and tidied up the cufflinks a little.
"Gu Shao's words today seem to be a bit much."
Say that it is not broken, Zhou Yangjun has been galloping in the business world for many years, and you come and go to secretly stumble on people, although it is easy to see that the trick is easy to use, what I am most afraid of is this kind of person who does not leave any affection at all, and there is no routine at all, he can only throw a soft nail.
The director was caught in the middle, smiling a little embarrassed.
"Look at it, blame me, I didn't say hello to Gu Shao in advance, Gu Shao, Mr. Zhou is here to congratulate you on the completion of your new drama."
Gu Chen's gaze was not wavering, looking at the red wine in the wine glass like blood, he raised his head and drank it all.
"Thank you."
After the words fell, Gu Chen put down the wine glass, flicked the folds of the suit with his white and slender fingers, then nodded with a smile and turned to leave.
"Huh! Gu ......"
The director raised his wine glass and wanted to stop Gu Chen, but Zhou Yangjun held his hand and shook his head.
"Forget it, that's how young people are."
When Gu Chen looked at the empty seat, plus Chen Mengmeng, who was standing on the side and was splashed with red wine.
I had a vague feeling in my heart that something was happening.
"What's going on?"
The music playing in the banquet hall did not affect Gu Chen's deep and magnetic voice in the slightest, and Chen Mengmeng frowned when he heard it.
"Gu Shao, you can be counted as back, look at my dress, but it's ruined."
Gu Chen only glanced at it and ignored it.
"Where's Xiang Mian?"
The cold voice like a snowy mountain made Chen Mengmeng feel deflated, but no one dared to show it and laugh at it, today everyone can see that Chen Mengmeng's backer is the boss of MK, and those who dare to shout with her at this time are afraid that there will be no one else except Gu Chen.
Chen Mengmeng glanced at Gu Chen fiercely, but good-looking people always can't raise their temper, her head turned sideways in the direction of Xiao Xuan, and Xiao Xuan stepped forward.
"Gu Shao, tell Miss Xiang that she is not feeling well today, so I left first, and let me tell you."
"Did she say where she went?"
Xiao Xuan shook his head without changing his face.
Gu Chen's gaze roamed around Chen Mengmeng's group, and there was a threat in his tone.
"You'd better not let me find out what tricks you're playing."
The sound of the sports car's engine disappeared in the night, and Gu Chen held the steering wheel in one hand and the mobile phone in the other to dial the number that he was already familiar with.
"Toot toot."
Three rings and it was connected.
"Where are you?"
"I'm ......"
Before Xiang Mian's words were finished, the phone ran out of power and turned off, no matter how she pressed it, the phone stubbornly never lit up again.
"Huh! This phone! ”
Xiang Mian put the phone back in her arms in annoyance, hugged her knees with her hands, the night breeze was already slightly cool, she remembered that she didn't have cash on her, and seeing that there were fewer and fewer people on the street, Xiang Mian's heart began to panic.
As far as she knew, the place she was in was supposed to be in the opposite direction to Gu Chen's home, and it would be difficult for her to walk back without navigational help.
When the cold wind became more and more loud and Xiang Mian shivered, she finally made up her mind, first touched the general direction, and then walked back to how much.
The sudden headlights illuminated the road in front of her from behind Xiang Mian, and Xiang Mian turned her head, but because the light was too dazzling for her to open her eyes, she struggled to block it with her hands.
