But how could a girl run faster than a car? When the car drove past her, Gu Nianbin looked back at her through the window. The little girl stood blankly at the roadside, and she was chewing her fingers! She was too old to do such a thing! What a freak!
Xiaoding was quite puzzled. "It was a strange thing. Why did she run away?"
Gu Nianbin didn't speak, but he caressed his forehead and smiled. Seeing the smile from the rear-view mirror, Xiaoding was startled. The young master rarely smiled. What happened today? Maybe the blind date was a success?
Gu Shanshan bounced out of the house and said, "Thank God, you're finally back. Mom has been nagging all afternoon."
"You deserve that. You were away from home too often these days." Gu Nianbin mounted the steps leisurely.
"Come on! She was nagging at you." Gu Shanshan took Gu Nianbin's arm and walked alongside him into the house. "What concerns her most is whether your blind date with Miss Xia is a success," she said.
As soon as they entered the house, Fang Yaru looked eagerly at his son and asked, "How about the girl you met today? Tell Mom. Is she the right girl for you?"
"I've told you on the phone, haven't I?" Gu Nianbin sat down and took the hot tea from a maid. After a sip of the tea, he answered, "Not bad. I don't dislike her."
"Does she like you?" Fang Yaru immediately asked.
"Oh, Mom. So many girls are longing for marrying into a family like ours. How could she not like my brother?"
Fang Yaru glanced at her daughter and said, "Are you taking her as one of those superficial girls who just want to marry a rich man?"
Gu Shanshan said with a smile, "I was just going to say the most important thing, that is she wouldn't dislike such an outstanding man as my brother, unless she was blind."
"That's more like it." Fang Yaru looked at her son with a smile. "Then you need to be more active," she said, " ask her out for a dinner or movie. How about I making a date for you?"
"No, thank you. Mom, don't bother about it. I know what I'm going to do."
"You are saying that again." Fang Yaru glared at him. "You failed in every previous blind date. If you screw it up this time, I won't forgive you. I know you are still waiting for the girl of the Xia family. I treated her so well when she was a child, but it turned out she doesn't deserve you...."
"That's enough. You're going too far." Gu Guangxian, who had been silent all the time interrupted her lightly. "Let's have dinner now."
Fang Yaru also knew that she shouldn't have said those words. How could she know nothing about the thoughts of her son? She didn't mention it before because she didn't want to upset him, but Gu Nianbin had been tortured by unrequited love for so many years. Seeing that had always made her heartbroken. Today, she had had enough and couldn't help nagging him.
No one mentioned the blind date at the dinner table. Gu Nianbin briefed his father on the latest situation of the Gu's company. Gu Guangxian nodded with satisfaction, and said, "You've done a good job, Nianbin. You are doing better than me. It has proved a correct decision to hand over the company to you. But as you know, we have a large family. It's not easy to take care of every family member. Conflicts are unavoidable. But as the old saying goes, be lenient wherever possible. Be careful not to cause disharmony. After all, were are kindred of the same clan."
"I see." Gu Nianbin nodded. He actually thought it was more difficult to deal with family conflicts than business affairs. He was a cold fish who never put on a smile when dealing with his uncles and cousins. They didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of him, but often complained to his father secretly. Gu Guangxian was susceptible to influence from others and easily believed what they said. Therefore, he always tried to put them under his protection. There were several times when Gu Nianbin wanted to "clean the house" by kicking them out of the company, but he gave up the idea in the end, mainly for fear of over-reaction from his father, who had a heart condition.
After dinner, Gu Nianbin felt it was too stuffy in the house, so he went for a walk in the front yard. After walking down the steps, he saw the little girl, who happened to straighten up. The girl looked up and was shocked at the sight of Gu Nianbin. Dragging the broom, she ran away again. Gu Nianbin raised his hand and called out, "Hey!" However, the little girl ran as fast as a bunny, probably not hearing him. Gu Nianbin dropped his hand, not knowing why he wanted to stop her.It was in early autumn. Although it was past 7 pm, but instead of getting dark, the sky was reddish, like the color of the sunset's afterglow. He lit a cigarette and looked quietly at the tall plane tree. It seemed as if a young girl was standing under the tree with her head tilted. Then she smiled at him and said, "Brother Bin…"At that time, she was just a 16-year-old girl who started to yearn for love. One day, she came to tell him her little secret. "Brother Bin, I have a crush
As the night grew darker, everything became blurry shadows before his eyes. The plane tree swayed in the wind and shed its leaves. The next morning, leaves would pile up on the ground. Somehow, Gu Nianbin thought of the lean and small figure of the girl who dashed away from him. Then he couldn't help smiling. It seemed that she would be very busy tomorrow morning.Gu Shanshan came out of the house and asked, "Brother, why are you standing here blankly ? What are you thinking about?"Gu Nianbin took his last puff of the cigarette and flicked it far away. The butt flew across the sky in an arc and then landed on the patterned tiles.Getting no response from him, Gu Shanshan went on to ask, "Are you thinking about Xiaowan?"Gu Nianbin shook his head and asked, "What's the name of the new girl?""Du Xiaoxian." Gu Shanshan became a little curious. "Why do you care about her?""Nothing. She seems to fear me and
It was on the night of the Lantern Festival. All his family members were invited to the Xia's to celebrate the festival. After dinner, Gu Nianbin, Su Chen, Xia Xiaowan and Gu Shanshan sat together chatting. It seemed that Xia Xiaowan mentioned there were shows of festive lanterns and dragon and lion dances outside. They all heard about the lively scene, but never saw it before. As soon as Xia Xiaowan mentioned it, Gu Shanshan suggested that they should go out to have a look.However, their parents didn't allow them to go to such crowded places. Gu Shanshan was frustrated but she didn't give up. Among all the kids, she was the youngest but bravest one. She said that they could sneak out to have a look when their parents were playing cards. Nobody would discover it as long as they came back quickly.Gu Nianbin was then 18 years old and could be counted as an adult. However, he acquiesced their adventure as he saw the eagerness in Xia Xiaowan's eyes. They snea
Gu Nianbin started to read a book on bed after entering the room. He was quiet in nature and reading was his way to relax after a busy day working in the company. He read for pleasure and thus was not very picky with what he was reading. He was even fond of novels that Shao Boqing despised most. After a while, he got up to get some water, only to discover that his cupboard was empty. No one was allowed to enter his room while he was away, so nobody filled the cupboard for him. He had no choice but to go to the kitchen downstairs. When walking by the dining room, he heard a sound from the side door, very slight but quite clear on such a silent night. He roughly knew who it was and thus ran after to check it out. As expected, the figure of a little girl flashed by under the dim moonlight, as fast as the wind. What was left was only a faint fragrance, which smelled like shampoo. It was faint but pleasant, lingering around him.He stood still for a while. It s
Yes, that was what Gu Nianbin felt exactly. She enjoyed sweeping the ground.With her eyes looking down, she was at ease without fear or panic. The scene looked quite pleasant as if she was dancing instead of sweeping the ground.In fact, Gu Nianbin could not see her expression. He even had no chance to look at her face carefully because she always ran away at the sight of him, or lowered her head like now. He could only see the top of her head, which was shimmering under the golden sunlight.Suddenly, she straightened up. Gu Nianbin dodged behind the curtains. Seeing her remove the leave on her hair, Gu Nianbin smiled silently. She finally came to realize that. But he didn't know why he had hidden himself. He was the young master. Why had he hidden from a maid?After getting changed, he went downstairs for jogging on the lawn. When going out, he coughed deliberately. As expected, he heard a train of footsteps. With a snicker, he d
"Don't be afraid of others. Everyone is equal. Although we are domestic servants, we make money honestly rather than steal anything or rob anyone. We are not inferior to others. What’s there to be afraid of?"Was that so? Du Xiaoxian was a little confused because her words were different from what her second aunt had said. According to her second aunt, people were divided into different social classes. The upper class was born to lead a rich life, while the lowest class had to suffer from cold and hunger and even sleep on the street or under a tree. Therefore, she needed to do better so that she would be born into a rich family in the next life.Ah Ling saw that Xiaoxian was in a daze and even forgot to eat the buns, so she patted her hand, only to find it as cold as ice. She then pulled her and walked her out. "Don't stay here. You need to bask in the sunlight. Your hands are too cold."When they came out, Gu Nianbin was still jogging there. D
"Mom, shall I supervise them and record the whole process for you tomorrow?" Gu Shanshan said with her eyebrows raised to Gu Nianbin."You're not much better!" Fang Yaru pointed her finger at her daughter, "You are well past twenty. Your friend Su Anqi has married and will be a mother soon. What about you? Why don't you learn from her?""Fine." Unlike Gu Nianbin, Gu Shanshan behaved more freely in front of her mother, "She got married at 30 and had a baby at 31. I will do the same. Satisfied? It's still early cause I'm only 26 now.""What?!" Fang Yaru choked with anger and glared at her, "You are really my enemy from previous life!"Gu Guangxian said to his wife with a smile, "Don't be so harsh to her. I don't believe you can bear the departure when she really gets married someday.""Are you sure?" Fang Yaru said, "I wish she would get married and move out as soon as possible. I can't wait to get rid of this noisy girl
Gu Nianbin was busy with his work all the morning. It was almost noon when Zhou Ting called to remind him that it's time for the appointment with Xia Xiaowan. He put down his pen, took his coat from the hanger, and walked out while taking on the coat.He was always punctual to time. Like last time, Xia Xiaowan was already waiting there and waved to him gently upon seeing him."Have you been waiting for a long time?" Gu Nianbin asked."No, just for a while." Xia Xiaowan replied with a smile.A waiter served the menu and they made order respectively. To his surprise, Xia Xiaowan ordered pork chop instead of steak which was more popular among girls.Xia Xiaowan noticed his surprise and explained, "I preferred pork since childhood, especially streaky pork. Very delicious.""Don't you think it’s greasy?""No," Xia Xiaowan showed her hands and said, "I’m a heavy meat-eater. Fortunately, I never get
Zhou Ting actually didn't want to come because Raccoon was unreliable every time, but she blew her mind on the phone, so there was no harm in Zhou Ting wanting to meet her.She deliberately came late to test Cheng Wei's patience, but I didn't expect that when she met him, the man didn't say a word about it, and when he heard that she was sorry, he just smiled faintly and said that he had also just arrived shortly. Seeing that he was tolerant and generous and calm, Zhou Ting secretly gave him a compliment in her heart.It wasn't bad, it was a lot better than she thought it would be, and Raccoon was finally reliable for once.Opposite the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a face of righteousness, although sitting, Zhou Ting can also visually estimate his height of at least one seventy-six to one seventy-eight, postgraduate education, returnees, family well-off, parents are civil servants, although he is doing scientific research work, but a wide range of interest
I lost a lot of blood, but I was eventually saved.When I woke up, my parents were sitting on the edge of the bed with tears in their eyes looking at me. I felt so selfish because last night when I thought I was dying, I actually didn't think of them. I don't deserve to be their daughter at all, but God loved me and gave me a chance to be a human being again, and I vowed that I would never let them shed a single tear for me in the future.I shook my mom's hand and said with difficulty, "Yeah, sorry for making you guys, worry."My mom, who was originally full of tears, burst into tears when she heard my words, grasping my hand tightly and sobbing uncontrollably, "Silly little girl, why didn't you tell mom and dad about such a big thing?"I don't know what she's referring to. Is it about last night? Or about me and Mr. Lu?If I had known about Keung's true intentions last night, I wouldn't have gone with them at all, and as for me and Mr. Lu, let's not me
Lu and I looked at each other, both looking confused.Mr. Lu said, "What? You want to back out? Didn't you agree to hand over the favor in one hand and the person in the other?"The guys all laughed and looked at us like we were a couple of idiots.I suddenly understood at once, their action tonight was actually premeditated from early on, I was just a bait, the person they really wanted was Mr. Lu.I was suddenly scared and my voice shook a little, "You, you guys want to kidnap him?""It's still the chick who reacts quickly," Qiang gave me a big finger and looked at Mr. Lu again, "Mr. Lu, do you understand now?""I see," Mr. Lu nodded, "but the money has already been given to you guys ah, even if it's a kidnapping, shouldn't the ransom be paid and the person be released?"Qiang didn't expect Mr. Lu to be so unenlightened, he didn't even bother to explain to him, and lifted his chin at me, "Go ahead."For the first time, I felt that Mr
In the end, I was cornered and had to be honest with Keung, "I broke up with him, I really did, and even if you take me away, he won't come to my rescue."Django didn't believe me, "Call him."My temper came up, took my cell phone out and pulled up Mr. Lu's number and shoved it into his hand, "If you want to call you call yourself, I'd rather help you test a few more times than talk to him."Keung gave me a look and laughed, "So the two of them had a fight!"He didn't force me and had me taken out and stood on the street to call Mr. Lu.The phone rang for a long time without answering, and even though it was expected, I still couldn't help but sigh and say to Keung, "I told him I broke up with him, he won't care about me."Brother Qiang squinted his eyes as if he was talking to himself, "Should we really let him go? Taking me in and locking me up for a few days, this revenge can't go unavenged."The man next to him then said, "Brother Qiang,
I volunteered to be the dinner guest, which was unanimously approved by everyone, except Mr. Lu of course, who has always treated me as a transparent person, and he doesn't comment on anything about me.Mrs. Lu simply gave the cooks a vacation, she took me and Lu Xiaoxian with her into the kitchen, I was the main chef, and the two of them were the understudies. This time I decided to go out on a limb, if I can't take down Mr. Lu, I'll first take down Mr. Lu's family, so that they all become my allies and stand on my side, and maybe there's still a chance.I directed Mrs. Lu and Lu Xiaoxian to do some vegetable preparations, while I myself took care of the main ingredients, meat, fish, shrimp, crab and so on. When I was marinating the beef, I suddenly remembered and asked Lu Xiaoxian, "I heard that Ms. Lu's beef noodle cooking is good, teach me next time and I'll make it for Mr. Lu when I have time."Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said, "My brother said it, I think, he love
I haven't seen him for five days, Mr. Lu looks good, but he didn't even look at me, he just stared at Lu Xiaoxian, "Xiaoxian."My heart trembled and I was about to answer when I heard the words that followed, "Why are you here? I've been looking all over for you." Only then did I realize he wasn't calling me.Lu Xiaoxian said, "What are you looking for me for?""Two days ago you said the root carving in my room was nice, so I asked someone to get a better one and wanted you to see it.""There's no rush on that one, it'll be the same when I get back to see it.""I want you to go through it, and if you don't like it, I'll have someone find it again."Lu Xiaoxian glanced at him angrily, "I just mentioned it casually, you're still taking it seriously, just don't be too troublesome.""Your business is brother's business, how's that for trouble."Lu Xiaoxian went over and pulled Mr. Lu to sit beside me, looked left and right, and said with a
It's a day as sweet as honey! Even when I fall asleep, I wake up smiling.Every day when I open my eyes, what comes into my eyes must be the smiling face of Mr. Lu, no matter how long I sleep, he always has to wait for me to open my eyes before he is willing to get up to go to work, there are a few times really late, to always set a good example of strict discipline for him, it's really a bit unbelievable, but in order for me to break the rule, he broke the rule.When I asked him why he was doing this, he replied to me that don't women want to see their favorite men around as soon as they open their eyes?This is true, because too much like, so suffer, always feel that this is all a dream, afraid of when the dream will wake up.He hired a private tutor to teach me how to drive, and in less than a month, I got my driver's license. Lu was so happy that he immediately took me to a 4S store to pick a car.But those cars I looked around, not a satisfactory,
The battery car drove by, and sure enough, it was Mr. Lu. I was very happy that he had finally come to my rescue.Mr. Lu jumped off the battery car and came over with big strides, "Dad, what did you get her for, she's a little girl who doesn't know anything, if there's something you tell me."Mr. Lu looked at him, "Haochen, your mother is very worried about you, it is not a solution for you to go on like this, after all ... all.""I told you," Mr. Lu interrupted impatiently, "I don't need you to worry about my affairs." He grabbed my hand, "Let's go."I, of course, said nothing and obediently followed him.Lu called after him, "Eat before you go."Mr. Lu ignored him and took me on the battery car, his lips slightly down, I knew he was a little upset, so I didn't dare to say anything.Mrs. Lu greeted her on the other end, "Haochen, eat before you go, it's been a long time since you father and son had a drink together, take advantage of the fa
I showed unprecedented enthusiasm and seriousness in cooking for Mrs. Lu.She came to the kitchen, asked me if I want to help, I hurriedly invited her out, in case the fumes choked her will not be good, although she said that she also cooks at home, I am not quite believe, such as the Lu family such a rich family light cooks are several, where to use her hands, at most, it is the whim of the fun just.I quietly probed and looked, Mrs. Lu was not in the living room, I think she must have gone upstairs. So I secretly sent a message to Mr. Lu, telling him that his mother had come over.In fact, I am still afraid in my heart, because I don't know the real intention of Mrs. Lu, if she has a chilling look on her face or if she is hiding a knife in her smile, I can see it, but she is acting very naturally, as if she is coming to see her future daughter-in-law. But I don't have that kind of luck, I'm just a little canary that Mr. Lu spends his money on, and after a year, o
