Chapter 2: The First Return

"Madam, ma'am, wake up" The gentle voice of the female flight attendant pulled Gu Manman back from his dream. She looked around, only to see that the plane had reached Meaux, and everyone had left, but she herself was asleep.

"Are you okay? Need help? The female flight attendant asked with concern.

Gu Manman wore a pair of retro-style sunglasses, the wide mirror surface covered two-thirds of her face, leaving only a petite and delicate nose and a delicate chin. The female flight attendant couldn't see her face, so she could only ask tentatively.

Gu Manman shook his head, said that he was fine, thanked the flight attendant and got off the plane. Walking out of the cabin and stepping on the ground, Gu Manman felt a little stable in his heart.

Five years later, she thought that she had forgotten the humiliation and unhappiness of her past, but she did not expect that the closer she was to the city, the clearer her memories became.

A simple white shirt, a high-waisted ruffled skirt printed with ink, a pair of spattered rhinestone heels, buckled around the ankles, long legs like jade, warm and fair. Simple and elegant, laid-back and sophisticated.

The corners of his lips were hooked, but his feet did not stop, and he kept walking out.

When I left the airport hall, I saw people waiting outside.

Wearing a high-order gray striped professional uniform, black hair and shoulder-length pinned behind small and round ears, dexterous eyes are looking in the direction of the exit, the facial features are small and cute, but the professional clothes do not look old-fashioned, but a little capable. It's Lu Sheng.

Next to Lu Sheng stood another man with a bit of ruffianism, with his hands in his pockets, a smile on his face, and his eyes fell on the person who was nervously looking in the direction of the exit.

Gu Manman's smile deepened, and then he walked towards the two.

Before she left the country, she didn't tell anyone except her father and brother.

It wasn't until she decided to return to China that she contacted her friend Lu Sheng.

She disappeared for five years and was never heard from.

After receiving Gu Manman's call, Lu Sheng was choked up and speechless from surprise at first, and then said a lot of words intermittently.

Gu Manman knew that Lu Sheng cared about her, and he also knew that he was afraid of touching her old scars again, so he said a lot on the phone but didn't mention Lin Haonan at all.

Actually, it doesn't matter, the reason why she came back was because she was ready to face everything, not to be a ridiculous deserter. In her dictionary, there is never 'forget it' and 'give up'.

"Lu Sheng!" Ru Lingyu took off her sunglasses, revealing her delicate eyebrows.

It's still the same as before, except that the baby's fat face has been replaced by a delicate chin with lines, and the corners of the lips are slightly hooked. The gestures exude natural confidence and natural elegance.

Lu Sheng was stunned for a few seconds, as if he couldn't believe it, but he saw Gu Manman's smile more and more like a flower.

Lu Sheng finally stepped forward, with red eyes, and gave her a big bear hug, "Manman!" ”

seemed to have something to say, but he didn't know how to speak for a while, so he just called out, and his tone was choked and he couldn't make a sound.

Sensing Lu Sheng's emotions, Gu Manman patted her shoulder, then looked at Xia Xun who was standing behind Lu Sheng, and smiled, "It's okay, I'm back." ”

Curled eyelashes, already moist.

"Welcome back!" Xia Xun stepped forward, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at Gu Manman with a smile.

"Let's go!" Letting go of Gu Manman, Lu Sheng took her hand and walked out.

I got into the car that I had already prepared and went all the way to the hotel that I had already booked.

In the hotel's private room, floor-to-ceiling glass beds reflect the midday sun, and the trio sit at a table covered with white napkins and filled with delicate dishes.

No one spoke first, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

"Let's drink." As if aware of this atmosphere, Gu Manman picked up the wine glass and said.

After five years of separation, no matter how good the friendship is, it will eventually be a little rusty.

"Okay, a glass of wine to the past, never look back!" Lu Sheng also picked up the wine glass.

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere began to liven up. They talked about the past, about skipping classes together at school, going to bars and nightclubs for the first time. Following the topic, Lin Haonan was mentioned somehow.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent again, and Lu Sheng and Xia Xun suddenly quieted again.

"Manman, what are your plans to come back this time?" The slightly hoarse male voice broke the awkward atmosphere, it was Ha Hoon.

When he was drunk, he was not as ruffian as before, his eyes were dark and he couldn't distinguish his expression, and he hung a few strands of hair in front of his forehead, but he looked a little serious.

Lu Shenghe didn't speak, just paid attention to her face.

Gu Manman didn't answer, just looked at the wine glass in his hand, the red liquid was crystal clear, and there was a touch of dark red solemnity.

When I mentioned this person, my heart was still a little sour, but there was no expression on my face. The light above her head came down, and she couldn't open her eyes and felt a little dizzy, maybe she was drunk......

The three of them didn't speak for a while, but they were silent and had their own thoughts. The delicate dishes have cooled down, and the liquid in the tall wine glass does not ripple.

After a long time, a slight voice broke the silence, and the red lips opened slightly, "I came back, I was originally going to face this!" He owes me, and I will take it back. ”

The tone was flat but heavy, and there seemed to be a sigh and an unwillingness to cool it.

"Find me if you need help!" Xia Xun listened to Gu Manman's words, and did not hesitate, and said directly.

"Good! Thank you! Gu Manman didn't postpone it, there were some things she couldn't do by herself, and she had to rely on the strength of others.

I don't want to rely on the Gu family to pave the way for herself, and she has to solve it herself.

Lu Sheng nodded, glanced at Xia Xun, and tightened his hands.

Gu Manman's matter, it is understandable that she and Xia Xun came forward. Originally, there were some things, and Gu Manman was just implicated.

Gu Manman suddenly put down the wine glass and leaned back on the sofa, his head drooping slightly, casting a shadow to cover her eyes.

"Wandering!" Thinking that she was too sad to mention the old things, Lu Sheng tried to call her. But I saw that she didn't react.

Just a little anxious and didn't know what to do, Gu Manman suddenly raised his head, his eyebrows were raised, and a confident color went down between his eyebrows.

smiled lightly and gave Lu Sheng a reassuring look, "It's okay." I was just thinking, I should start there. ”

Xia Xun's eyes lit up, "Waiting for dispatch at any time." ”

The ruffian anger surfaced again, and the unhappiness in Gu Manman's heart disappeared completely.

When she came back, she was originally here to collect debts. What she endured and paid for Lin Haonan also had to be experienced by himself.

She didn't want to be like that herself, but what to do, but she had to plan carefully.

She will not let go of any of those who owe her, who bear her, who calculate her.

In short, she Gu Manman is back!

The next day, the news of Gu Manman's return had already appeared in the major entertainment media in Meaux, and it was in the form of headlines.

Not sympathy, but sarcasm.

"It's been five years, and you still think she's going to hide for the rest of her life and never come back? But why do you come back now? Haven't you been humiliated enough? ”

"She's so shameless, she was dumped and had to come back, so I won't live."

A wicked woman like her deserves it."
