Chapter 3: The First Sight of the Old Man
After waking up naturally in the morning, she washed up and went downstairs in her pajamas. Last night, my brother went to the hotel to pick her up, I don't know how much wine she drank, her head was a little dizzy, and she felt a little hungry.
Mama Li, who was tidying up the living room downstairs, heard the voice and looked up to see the person who was still at the top of the stairs.
"Mama Li." Gu Manman smiled and continued to go downstairs. Li's mother's eyes were red.
She is the servant of the Gu family, she grew up with Gu Manman and Gu Nansheng since she was a child, Gu's mother died early, and her husband is usually too busy to spend time with them, so Li's mother is very close to the two of them. The outside world said that Gu Manman was a wicked girl, but Li's mother didn't believe it. Gu Manman was brought up by her, and she regarded her as her own daughter, she knew what her personality was, but she was a little anxious, and she was usually well-behaved and sensible.
When that happened five years ago, she was distressed to death, afraid that Gu Manman would not be able to stand the blow, and she had been guarding her until she left. This long life is about to be ruined by Lin Haonan, how can she not feel distressed?
Looking at Mama Li's concerned eyes, Gu Manman gave her a hug. "It's okay, Mama Li, I'm back."
Hearing this, Mama Li cried even more, the more she said this, the more distressed Mama Li became, she had spoiled her children since she was a child, where was it worse to be so sinful? Stroking Gu Manman's back, she couldn't cry even more.
"Mama Li, I'm hungry." Gu Manman said helplessly, she was really hungry, and she also wanted Li's mother to divert her attention.
"Okay, okay, I forgot, I boiled porridge for you, the kitchen is warm, just wait for you to wake up, you drank so much wine yesterday, you must not have eaten, drink porridge to nourish your stomach, change Ming'er I will make you more delicious and make up for it, you see you have lost weight" Li's mother wiped her tears and walked to the kitchen, Gu Manman followed her to the dining room.
Listening to Mama Li's chatter, she felt very warm in her heart, and it felt good that someone cared.
"Okay, I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs and braised fish made by Mama Li" unconsciously reddened his eyes.
This is the feeling of the family, after five years away, I suddenly returned to a familiar place, thinking about my previous wishful thinking, and despite the dissuasion of my family, I ended up covered in bruises.
Gu Manman also saw the news, but he didn't say it. She didn't know how much she had endured by the outside world's remarks about her, and she might have minded it at first, but now it was just air.
After thinking about it, the hand that was flipping through the fashion magazine suddenly stopped, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth......
"Manman, you're back? Would you like to have a meal together? I want to apologize to you in person. Lin Haonan's slightly magnetic voice came from the phone.
Gu Manman was stunned for a few seconds, her fingers holding the microphone tightened, she knew that Lin Haonan would come to her, but she didn't know that it would be so soon. "Good!"
When I arrived at the second floor of the agreed restaurant, I saw Lin Haonan who was sitting casually on the sofa by the window and looking out of the window.
The lines of the side face are clear but soft, gentle and elegant, and not stained with dust. This is what it looks like to be a person she used to love.
Since I was a child, I saw him differently from my brothers and brothers in other families. She knew the marriage contract between the two families, and she knew that she would be her bride. He was very nice to her, but never said he liked her. She also deliberately caused trouble for his attention, coquettish, and begged him for comfort.
Gu Manman smiled self-deprecatingly, took off his sunglasses with a slightly dull step, and continued to walk towards Lin Haonan. There is no one else on the second floor, it was specially arranged by Lin Haonan.
Lin Haonan, who heard the voice, looked back at the woman who was walking towards him.
A simple slim-fitting white silk skirt paired with straight gauguin shoes to accentuate the slender calves even more slender. In his right hand, he holds a wide pale cyan bag. Her long hair, slightly curled, was casually draped over her shoulders, revealing her snow-white jade neck, and a thin platinum necklace adorned it, embellishing her bright face even more radiantly.
Lin Haonan was stunned for a moment, and quickly covered it up. This kind of Gu Manman was something he had never seen before, quiet, calm, and atmospheric, revealing confidence from the inside out at every step.
In the past, she liked bright colors, and when she saw him from a long distance, she would scream and pounce on him, and no matter whether he was willing or inconvenient, she would quarrel with others for him to put down the identity of Miss Gu, she was proud, willful, and rampant in the past.
Seeing such a Gu Manman, Lin Haonan inexplicably felt a strange feeling in his heart. He was glad that she had managed herself so well, but he was very disappointed by her change, and the calmness in his dark eyes rippled.
"Arrived? I ordered your favorite dish from this restaurant. As soon as Gu Manman sat down, the waiter brought the dishes one by one, which was indeed her favorite dish before.
looked at Lin Haonan who was smiling at her opposite, but there were not too many ups and downs in his heart. The expression on his face did not change either.
"I've changed my taste, and I like something lighter." Gu Man said lightly.
"Then let's order again, you come." Lin Haonan didn't feel embarrassed, he still looked gentle and elegant. The waiter on the side gestured to hand over the menu.
"No need, I'll leave after what needs to be said." Gu Manman was not polite, and mentioned the key points straightforwardly. She didn't want to spend too much time on it.
"Although it has been so long, I still say I'm sorry, the original apology affirms that I admit that it was my fault, but it still hurt you, me"
"What do you mean by that?" Before Lin Haonan could finish speaking, he was interrupted. Gu Manman leaned back, his eyes looking directly at him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the expression on his face was a little casual.
"If it's just to apologize, then I know." Picking up the bag, regardless of the faces of the people behind him, Gu Manman turned around and was about to leave.
But he didn't want to be grabbed by Lin Haonan, who stood up, suddenly.
The eyebrows frowned slightly, squinting at the hand that was being held, the tips of the eyebrows were cold, and the delicate face was also covered with a layer of frost.
"You...... Won't you forgive me? As if he didn't notice Gu Manman's anger, his eyes burned and he only stared at her eyes.
was asked like this, but the person who was still angry suddenly laughed, but the smile was cold and did not reach the bottom of his eyes, as if there was mockery.
Such an expression made Lin Haonan stunned for a moment, and the strength in his hand was loosened, and another expression appeared on his warm face. Gu Manman sneered even more, and took advantage of the situation to withdraw his hand.
This scene is similar to the scene at the wedding scene that year. It's just that the roles are reversed.
"Forgive you?" The tone was cold and questioning, as if he was asking Lin Haonan and himself.
Without an answer, he turned and walked out. The tips of the hair raise in a slight arc.
"Lu Sheng, where are you? I'll pick you up for dinner. Walking out of the restaurant, Gu Manman, who was wearing sunglasses, walked straight to the white BWMZ4 that he parked outside. While taking the car keys, he called Lu Sheng.
"At the company, I happened to be hungry, and you turned on the GPS." Lu Sheng doesn't talk nonsense, let her turn on the GPS because she is afraid that she won't find it, the city has changed a lot in five years.
"Good!" Gu Manman also smiled, got into the car, hung up the phone, turned on the GPS and ran to Lu Sheng's company.
"How hard are you really a strong woman?" When the car stopped downstairs at Lu Sheng's company, Lu Sheng was already waiting. Looking at Lu Sheng, who was a little tired, Gu Manman began to make fun of her.
"I just want to prove to my uncles that I'm not a big lady who spends all day doing nothing but eating, drinking, and having fun. My dad didn't have a son, only a daughter, and my uncle was always making a fuss about it. I just want to do my best, surpass their sons, and I don't want to end up being a tool for business marriages. After getting into the car, Lu Sheng gave Gu Manman a roll of his eyes, sighed and said quietly.
Five years ago, Lu Sheng joined the family company after graduation, worked hard in the business industry for five years, ups and downs, and gradually matured after experiencing more people and things. From ignorance at the beginning to maturity and ability, I don't know how much hard work and sweat I have paid.
Gu Manman listened to Lu Sheng's words, but she was full of emotion in her heart, when she threw all her heart on Lin Haonan, she was ready to get married as soon as she graduated, and she didn't have Lu Sheng's vision at all.
It is true that Gu Manman does not have to think about these issues.
