Chapter 20
It is said that it is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. Wen Ning was used to eating brocade clothes and jade from childhood to adulthood. She encountered a change overnight, how humble and humble her life must be, and she can best experience the taste of desolation and sigh.
The year before last, she was optimistic that the debt could be repaid slowly, but last year, when the company changed, she had to worry about it. Now, when something happened to her aunt’s house, she finally felt overwhelmed.
She is like a spring that has been stretched and stretched again and again over the years until it breaks.
This house has witnessed Wen Ning’s growth and recorded all the time from her birth to the present. Seeing the house is like seeing memories, people and things. For her, a house is not a simple residence, but an invisible thread that leads her lonely kite. As long as the thread is continuous, there will always be a home.
She doesn’t want to sell the house unless she has to.
Wen Ning thought about it that night, and felt that she couldn’t open her mouth to anyone. Half of it was because other people’s life was not easy, and the other half was because she was stubborn in her bones, and she went to ask for help before she used up her last breath.
People are pushed to the limit, and any crazy move can be done.
Her madness is selling the house.
It was sold and the surgery fee was collected. Although the remaining money could not pay off the debt, it could give her some breath.
Before contacting the agency, Wen Ning cried all night with Fangben.
She not only hoped that the house would be sold as soon as possible, but also hoped that no one would like it, so that she could give up her mind. She had spent the past few days in repeated torment and was exhausted physically and mentally.
Gu Chixi appeared at this moment.
It was the hand that reached out to her when she was drowning.
At first, she suspected that Gu Chixi was deliberately looking for reasons, and wanted to give her money. They all knew each other, and Gu Chixi had behaved similarly before. But on second thought, she denied it again, feeling that she was self-indulgent.
A while ago, she saw Gu Chixi’s eyes red because of her mother. She felt unspeakable sorrow and helplessness in her heart. After she went back, she thought about it a lot, and she lost sleep at night. If she hadn’t seen that scene, she might not believe Gu Chixi’s words today.
Those tears seemed to fall into her heart. The incomparably powerful and omnipotent sister in her memory also had a fragile side.
The fragility of the strong, which is rarely revealed, is even more pitiful.
Just getting a certificate is not a real “marriage”. Wen Ning comforted herself. At least the other party is Gu Chixi, not some other messy person – that way she simply won’t think about it.
What’s more, the temptation of 30 million is too great…
With so much money to buy her for a year, she even wondered if there was something wrong with Gu Chixi’s brain.
I often see people on the Internet asking if you are willing to do something that breaks the bottom line if you are given enough money. A choice, money is not really put in front of you.
Marriage is tradable and can be linked to interests. Wen Ning persuaded herself again.
Get the money to help and keep the house.
Once the thought is shaken, it is like an unbalanced scale, and the tilting speed will only get faster and faster.
Wen Ning thought about it for a day and a night.
She withdrew the sale information of the house, and at that moment, the whole person relaxed, thinking of the wide and smooth retreat behind her, she felt an unprecedented sense of security.
Wen Ning put the things that were collected in the house again, and cleaned them inside and out. Usually, cleaning two floors is very tiring, but now it seems like a chicken blood, and the more you move, the more energetic .
First, the joy of the rest of her life, and then the melancholy after the choice, two feelings entangled in her heart.
She called Gu Chixi, and before pressing the number, she repeatedly organized the language and used words, but she was not satisfied. After struggling for a long time, she opened WeChat and sent a message to the person.
[Where are you]
After sending it, she put the phone aside, and didn’t expect Gu Da’s busy person to return immediately.
Then the screen lights up.
Gu Chixi: [Company]
Very cold words.
Wen Ning is also welcome: [what are you doing]
Gu Chixi: [meeting]
“…”
Wen Ning stared at the screen, her slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and took a deep breath. She stuffed her phone in her bag, changed her clothes, and pulled out the household registration book, putting it together with her ID card.
Half an hour later, Wen Ning arrived at the company.
There were several conference rooms. She didn’t know where Gu Chixi was meeting, so she took the elevator directly to the top floor. The little assistant in the reception area was already familiar with her, and she smiled when she saw her, “Captain Wen, are you looking for Mr. Gu? She is having a meeting downstairs, so you can sit down for a while.”
“it is good.”
Wen Ning nodded, sat on the single sofa, and put up her legs.
The little assistant poured her a glass of water.
She thanked her softly, took a sip, leaned back slightly, clutched the small backpack tightly with one hand, and kept glancing at the automatic sensor door.
As the waiting time got longer, Wen Ning gradually felt nervous and couldn’t sit still.
What kind of meeting can take so long?
She stood up, walked to the front of the stage and asked, “Do you know which conference room Mr. Gu is in?”
“…It should be number three.” The girl was uncertain.
Before she could finish speaking, Wen Ning walked away with her long legs, and disappeared outside the induction door like a gust of wind.
The conference room No. 3 is completely transparent glass. Standing outside, you can see the whole situation inside. Wen Ning walked over lightly, hid behind a huge landscape vase, and quietly looked around…
The man sat upright, with a cold expression, his long legs crossed, a pen between his long, fair fingers, and the tip of the pen lightly tapped the folder spread out in front of him, again and again.
Seaweed green silk sleeveless shirt, round neck, just right to reveal half of the collarbone, black straight-leg pants underneath, thin ankles, constant stiletto heels, and snakeskin pattern on the pointed vamp.
She turned her face sideways, her black hair was slightly glowing, her cold white skin was like carved jade, her eyebrows were light, and there was no warmth.
I don’t know who said what, she frowned slightly, and the tip of the pen in her hand stopped suddenly.
Wen Ning saw her thin red lips slowly opening and closing.
The whole room did not dare to let out the air, and lowered her head slightly. Then, her brows stretched again, her sitting posture did not change, and ice melted in her dark eyes.
Xu Shi was nervous about peeping, and Wen Ning’s heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
She stared at Gu Chixi’s face…
After a while, the people inside stood up one after another, Wen Ning recovered and hid in the women’s toilet next to her, listening to a series of footsteps passing by outside, especially the sound of high heels.
After calculating the time, she went out and saw the elevator stopped on the top floor, reached out and pressed it, and went up again.
Walking through the corridor, only Secretary Gao was at the workstation. She didn’t stop her as if she hadn’t seen Wen Ning, as if she was used to it.
Wen Ning pushed the door directly in.
In the office, Gu Chixi was leaning on the large leather chair. The moment he raised his eyes, the displeasure between his brows disappeared and his expression softened, “Ning Ning, Xiao Zheng said you were looking for me?”
Wen Ning stared at her silently, pursed her lips, walked over, took out her ID card and household registration book, and put them on the table.
“Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
