Chapter 137: Piggybacking on the way
I thought I wouldn't have much time to finish, but by the time everything was sorted out, it was already afternoon when I left the law office. During the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun", I had lunch with the female lawyer.
It's just that she didn't expect to be greeted by an untouchable heavy rain after going out. Standing by the door and not moving, I looked at my car and was still parked in a parking space about 200 meters away from the main entrance, and I was a little hesitant to do it like this?
But when I came to sign the contract myself, I was dressed thinly, and the paper contract couldn't withstand the rain. After thinking about it, I decided to wait for the rain to light up before it passed.
Just stood like this for a while, it seemed that the rain had not yet decreased, and Gu Manman was a little worried. The people from the office didn't come out, so I don't know if they noticed the rain outside, or if they noticed her standing outside the door. It's just that it's not good to let her go back to borrow an umbrella for now. Just as she couldn't find a way, a black SUV just stopped in front of her.
A slightly fat middle-aged man got out of the car, holding a big pure black umbrella, and his footsteps eagerly came in the direction of Gu Manman.
Thinking that he was standing at the door of the law firm, he was afraid that he was going to block the way of others, so he moved his body slightly to the right to facilitate the uncle's passage.
It's just that the uncle didn't seem to have any intention of going inside, and came straight in the direction of Gu Manman. Just as I was puzzled, I heard the middle-aged man's voice coming, "Miss Gu, our Mr. Dongfang saw that you were alone here, probably because you didn't bring an umbrella, let me invite you to the car!" ”
The middle-aged man's words were very polite, Gu Manman originally thought that he didn't know this uncle, but he understood it when he heard him say Mr. Dongfang. Mr. Dongfang is Dongfang Yu!
Thinking of him, Gu Manman felt that the emotions in his heart were complicated. She always felt that he was Xiao Beihan, but others told her, or even Dongfang Yu didn't look like Xiao Beihan to her.
Glancing at the glass window of the back seat of the off-road vehicle, it was pitch black and the people inside couldn't be seen, Gu Manman thought about it, and it was better to refuse. She couldn't face it calmly, and she had the same face as Xiao Beihan. but not his people.
But before he could say anything about refusal, a shadow fell overhead. Gu Manman didn't need to look to know that it was the uncle who propped the umbrella on her head.
"I ......"
"Miss Gu, how unsafe are you alone in such a heavy rain? Let Mr. Dongfang give you a ride, and don't let me be a bad driver! The middle-aged man's words were straightforward, and Gu Manman also understood the meaning of his words.
Does it mean that the Eastern Imperial Envoy came to invite her? If you can't invite the driver, what is the responsibility? What kind of logic is this? It's my business whether I want to go or not, why does it still look like a threat now?
It's not quite like a threat, because there seems to be nothing to connect with Dongfang Yu between her, except for Dongfang Yu's face.
Originally, she was going to refuse directly, although it was difficult for the driver's uncle to do it, but it also saved her from feeling sad, and the atmosphere was embarrassing.
It's just that when she turned her head to the side and wanted to tell the driver's uncle, she saw him with his back to the off-road vehicle and a pleading look on his face.
This is strange, can make a driver uncle put down his body and come to him with a pleading, is it because of Dongfang Yu?
In that case, then she should go and see! Sitting in the co-pilot position by yourself shouldn't make any difference.
"Okay, in that case, I'm going to bother!" Nodding, he followed the driver's uncle into the rain.
The driver carefully held the umbrella to prevent Gu Manman from getting wet, and at the same time reached out to open the back seat.
Gu Manman shook his head, signaling that he didn't need to, and opened the co-pilot's position and sat down.
The driver's uncle was stunned, thinking that this is none of his business, right? Then I returned to the driver's position and put away the umbrella.
There's a lot of space in the car, and that's what it looks like from the outside. His gaze turned around in front of him, but he never looked back. She knew that Dongfang Yu was there, and she knew that he was watching her.
Originally, she was supposed to say hello and express her gratitude, but now that she is like this, she can't stick her head behind and say thank you to Dongfang Yu, right? And she felt awkward.
Then let's do this for now, and then find a chance to talk when you get off the bus.
The rain came suddenly and violently, and the downpour still did not seem to stop or stop. The whole city of Meaux was shrouded in a dark cloud, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
The Gong family and the Gu family were not on the way, and she didn't know if Dongfang Yu was really by the way or deliberate. It's just that if it's deliberate, will it be that you think too much?
It was quiet in the car, and the heavy rain outside cut off all sound, and she could feel the sight behind her, a little like pins and needles.
At this moment, she felt regretful, she shouldn't have gotten in the car. Why is your heart soft because of the driver's uncle?
It's just that I thought that it wouldn't be far from going down again, and it was close to the Gu family, so I would hold on for a while. But I heard the cold voice of the person behind him: "Go to the north of the city!"
There is no doubt that this was said to the driver, but Gu Manman couldn't cry or laugh. The direction of the Gu family and the north district of the city is somewhat similar, but a fork in the road separates the two sides. If it wasn't far away on weekdays, she could go back by herself, but it was raining so heavily right now......
She couldn't hold on anymore if she wanted to be silent, she didn't want to stay in the car for long. Although she didn't know what he was going to the north of the city, she didn't want to go.
"Ahem, that ...... Mr. Xie Dongfang took me for a ride, and I will be under the fork in the road in a while! Can you lend me an umbrella? I'll pay you back another day! This is a hard mouth, Gu Manman only felt that his tongue was stiff.
After waiting for a while and not hearing Dongfang Yu's answer, Gu Manman felt that he should have been ignored.
In this case, let's get out of the car by yourself, it's a big deal to be drenched for a while, but I just glanced at the documents in my hand again, I'm afraid it won't work.
"Hmm!" was at a loss and couldn't find a way, but he heard a cold hum from the person behind him.
Gu Manman hurriedly thanked him, but he never dared to look up at him. She was afraid that she would not be able to control it when she saw that face.
After getting out of the car, the driver nodded to her in a friendly way and randomly went to the other side.
Gu Manman stood in place, deliberately gave up a position to avoid the water splashing from the car from wetting his clothes, and watched the black off-road car go away.
She didn't know what she was afraid of! Although that person was so similar to Xiao Beihan, she herself once thought that he was. But when she went to find him at the palace banquet, the strangeness in his eyes still stung her.
Then let it be! She was going to investigate, after all, she didn't believe that he would die so easily. Although there are many things that even she can't explain.
Picking up the bag of papers that she had rolled up in her left hand, she glanced at it, then turned and walked in the other direction. (To be continued.) )
