Chapter Eighty-Four: Happiness is Good
Exiting the side door, she took a deep breath and looked up to see Su Lin and Anne standing there waiting for her.
The two people who were already worried also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Gu Manman come out. It's just that the light in the corridor is dim, and I can't see her face clearly.
"Nothing, right?" Anne asked, a little worried.
"It's okay, let's go! Back to the lobby! There was tiredness in his tone, and he pretended to be calm in front of Miyazaki Yan, but now he has eased up a little.
The pain in her back wasn't as good as it used to be, but she was able to pretend to be indifferent for so long that her nails were almost broken by herself. The cold wind gusted, and I just broke out in a cold sweat because of the pain, and now I only feel cold. The palms of the hands were loose, covered in sweat.
Supported by Anne, the three of them entered the hall together. It's not the location just now, but I found another relatively hidden corner.
Old Man Lin's speech had just ended, and the people in the hall had already begun to disperse one after another. Gu Manman didn't want to stay here, and thought that he hadn't said his blessing to Old Man Lin in person.
Motioning to Su Lin and Anne to wait for her here, she bypassed the crowd and walked in the direction that Lin Haonan pushed Old Man Lin to leave.
Gu Manman's outfit was not conspicuous, and no one paid special attention to her, but no one noticed it all the way.
Pushing the door in, there was a long corridor, and when I closed the door, I only heard Old Man Lin's cough coming from the room around the corner.
The hallway was carpeted, and her high heels made no sound on them, and she walked all the way to the door of the room.
At a glance, Ye Chuxuan and Mother Lin were there, and Father Lin was estimated to be socializing outside. Lin Haonan, who just turned around, saw Gu Manman standing at the door of the room with a hesitant expression.
"Wandering!" He spoke softly, as if he was a little surprised.
Hearing these two words, Lin Mu's eyes lit up, and she walked up quickly, holding her hand, and her tone was kind and gentle, "It's long!" I also said why I didn't see you before, so I was here! Are you here to find Hao Nan? I'll leave it to you! ”
The familiar words and kind tone made Ye Chuxuan's face change slightly, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and he was well hidden.
A smile appeared on Gu Manman's face, he gently withdrew his hand, and said softly, "I'm here to talk to grandpa!" ”
Hearing this, a trace of gloom flashed on Mother Lin's face, and she was about to say more, but she suddenly heard Old Man Lin cough loudly.
"Grandpa!" Lin Haonan hurriedly stepped forward to stroke his back and give him relief.
After coughing for a while, Old Man Lin waved his hand and signaled to stop, "You guys go out!" ”
"Dad......" This voice was called by Mother Lin, and she wanted to say something to Gu Manman again, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she saw that Old Man Lin's face darkened. Knowing that he would be angry if he continued to speak, he went out of the room.
Ye Chuxuan glanced at Lin Haonan and saw that he didn't have any different colors, so he followed him out of the door. Only Gu Manman and Old Man Lin were left in the room.
"Close the door! Come here, I have something to say! A deep, old voice came, but with kindness.
Knowing that he deliberately drove those three people away because he had something to say, Gu Manman turned around and closed the door.
"Come here!" Old Man Lin, who was in a wheelchair, beckoned to her.
Listen to him, step forward, and sit down beside him.
The old man didn't speak, but stared at her face for a long time, as if he was looking at someone through her.
"Grandpa?" I was a little puzzled, and I couldn't help but speak.
"Ahem, it's okay! The older you get, the more like your mother becomes! He coughed lightly and looked away.
Speaking of Gu Manman's mother, Old Man Lin fell into some kind of memory.
The voice was old and low, "Your mother is very similar to my deceased wife!" The first time I met her was when she was very young, and because of her friends and business dealings, she always had to attend a lot of polite banquets like you do now, and she got bored after a long time! ”
After a pause, as if recalling the scene, "At that time, I secretly avoided socializing and walked out into the corridor to breathe, and at the end of it was the little girl who was sitting on a bench reading a book, that is, your mother. She looked very attentive like my wife. At that time, we only had one child, Uncle Lin, and we always wanted a girl, but we couldn't get it. ”
"Later, my friend brought your mother to Lin's house as a guest, and your grandmother liked her very much when she saw her. I don't have a daughter, so I often care about her and invite her to play at home! As your mother grew up, your grandmother had the intention of betrothing her to Uncle Lin. It's a pity ......" sighed with regret in his tone.
The words are not finished, but the final result is known. Otherwise, there would be no Gu Manman's existence.
At that time, Father Lin did not have a good impression of Gu Manman's mother, and when he was young and vigorous, he was unwilling to accept everything arranged by the family, and always wanted to fight by himself.
Although Gu Manman's mother has a good impression of the Lin family, she doesn't want to be interfered too much by outsiders in emotional matters. Moreover, after being close to the Lin family for many years, he has no special feelings for Father Lin.
But before this, she had already gotten along well with Gu Manman's father, and it was natural for her to come together.
"We have always regarded her as a daughter, and we can't enter the door of the Lin family, although we regret it, we also know that your father is a good child, and your mother will not suffer when she is with him. Later, your marriage with Hao Nan also had this reason, if it wasn't for your grandmother arguing to contract you, how could I mention this to your mother? She had no choice but to agree! I thought everything would go in a good direction. You also like Hao Nan, but I didn't expect ......" The room was quiet, there was no other sound, and Old Man Lin's voice came slowly.
"Wandering!" The memories were suddenly interrupted, and Old Man Lin's eyes were fixed on Gu Manman again.
"Hmm!" Gu Man was stunned for a moment and replied firmly.
"Are you going to blame us?" His eyes were full of apologies, and his eyes were burning as he looked at Gu Manman's reaction.
Shaking his head, he replied softly, "No!"
Who can she blame? Things have already happened, and the past cannot be reversed. What's more, she is doing well now.
Old Man Lin's eyes dimmed again, and his thoughts were pulled into the distance again, "This matter was originally too hasty for us, in the final analysis, the Lin family did not have this blessing!" Whether it's your mother or you, you're a good boy! It's just that your beloved has never been a member of the Lin family! In the end, it's better for you to be happy! After Old Man Lin said this, his eyes fell out of the window again.
sighed helplessly, and the ink outside the window was thick. The dim street lamps fell on the edge of the windows, and the white crystal lamps in the room were as indifferent as water.
"It's good that you're happy!"
