Chapter 8
The night was getting darker, the dark clouds covered the moon, there were bursts of muffled thunder in the sky, several lightning bolts flashed, and it was raining heavily outside.
Wen Ning sat on the sofa in the living room, curled her legs, clasped her knees with her hands, and quietly stared at the silver sports car outside the yard. It didn’t move and didn’t seem to be about to drive away.
Water droplets the size of beans were densely smashed on the window, and the glass was covered with a fine mist, making it difficult to see the outside situation gradually.
-Neuropathy.
Wen Ning looked at the direction of the car and cursed in her heart.
If it doesn’t go, she just sits.
The rain in summer comes and goes quickly, and before you know it, the rain is less, and the thunder is less, and finally stopped, only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves and shaking the water droplets on the ground.
The car is still parked there.
Wen Ning: “…”
Thinking of the morning shift tomorrow, she couldn’t continue to consume it, so she had no choice but to compromise, put the towel back in the bathroom, turned off the light, and went upstairs to go back to the room.
It’s almost ten.
Wen Ning didn’t turn on the light, and lay directly on the bed, her hair was still a little wet, so she couldn’t care less. She picked up the phone next to her to set the alarm, but unlocked it and found an unread text message.
That strange number again.
[Driving my car to the company tomorrow morning, it can be parked behind the swimming pool diagonally opposite the gate. The key is on the porch. I’m on a business trip tomorrow morning, and I’ll be back on Friday. 】
The sending time was two hours ago, when Gu Chixi left.
Wen Ning was stunned for a while, then got up, walked to the balcony and looked down, the silver sports car parked quietly beside the street lamp, covered with crystal water droplets, slightly glowing with cold light.
She misunderstood Gu Chixi.
Thinking that the person hadn’t left, she kept sitting in the car and peeping at her.
It was cold in the rainy night, Wen Ning stood on the balcony for a while, and when she returned to the room, she turned on the light and sat down beside the bed.
The dull air spread in from outside the window, wrapping her little by little, squeezing, and deforming. She seemed to be strangled by her throat, feeling suffocated, and had to open her mouth to gasp.
Later, Wen Ning grabbed the phone to edit the text message, and slowly typed out a few words: No, thank you.
There is no more.
She put her phone on airplane mode, set an alarm for tomorrow morning, turned off the lights, and went to bed.
The next morning, when it was just dawn, Wen Ning got dressed and went out and took a taxi directly to the company.
She got on the plane with Gu Chixi’s car key. When she came back in the afternoon, she took the elevator to the top floor and handed the key to the assistant in the reception area, saying that she had picked up Mr. Gu’s car key.
“But… how do you know that this is Mr. Gu’s?” The little assistant looked at her suspiciously.
Cars of the same brand are driven by a lot of people in the company, and the appearance of the keys is roughly the same.
Wen Ning had already guessed that she would ask, turned the key over, pointed and said, “Well, there’s an ‘R’ here, I’ve seen it before, I recognize it.”
The girl was suspicious and put it away for the time being.
…
In the third grade of elementary school, Wen Ning had a conflict with a girl in her class.
That girl is Xu Wenwen, a transfer student, with a rich three-generation background, a arrogant and domineering temperament, and a little princess sickness. It is said that she is a relative of the principal. Not long after she transferred, she quickly got along with her classmates by virtue of her status, and formed a small group among the girls.
Xu Wenwen enjoyed being held and took it for granted. As time passed, she got used to it, and gradually developed hostility to classmates outside her circle.
Such as Wen Ning.
At that time, Wen Ning loved to pester Gu Chixi, and was reluctant to pay attention to others. In addition, she was a child who was spoiled by her parents. She had a arrogant temperament and didn’t even bother to play with Xu Wenwen and the others.
After an outdoor activity class one day, Xu Wenwen invited the whole class to eat ice cream.
Everyone chose their own flavors, but when asked about Wen Ning, the little girl didn’t even look at it, she just said she didn’t want to eat it, and turned her head to go to the sixth-grade building.
“stop!”
“?”
Xu Wenwen raised her chin and strode in front of Wen Ning with a little princess-like attitude, stopping her, “Everyone eats it, why don’t you?”
“No reason,” Wen Ning hurried to find Gu Chixi, and became impatient, “Get out of the way.”
“Do you look down on me?”
Xu Wenwen, who was ignored, was even more angry, her voice was sharp, and she dragged her sleeves to keep her from going.
Wen Ning gave her a push: “You are sick!”
The child was in a hurry, and there was no weight or weight in her hands. Xu Wenwen was pushed to the ground, and she fell to the ground, crying suddenly.
The other students were dumbfounded.
Hearing the movement, the teacher hurried over to appease Xu Wenwen, figured out the cause and effect, and did not dare to criticize Xu Wenwen at all, but gave Wen Ning a few words without any pain.
Wen Ning’s face was stubborn and she didn’t say a word.
Since then, the two little girls have been married. Xu Wenwen didn’t do anything, but secretly did bad things. During that time, Wen Ning always lost things for no reason.
Books, notebooks, pens, drinking glasses…
In the end, they were all found in the trash can.
Some classmates couldn’t stand it any longer, and quietly told Wen Ning who did it. The little girl was not stupid, and she had doubts in her heart, so one day, after catching Xu Wenwen, she had a fight.
Wen Ning is slightly taller than her peers, and she likes to be crazy and wild, and her strength is not inferior to boys.
Xu Wenwen was beaten badly, her nose was bruised and her face was swollen, crying and calling her mother, and threatened to call her brother in sixth grade to beat her.
“You wait for me!”
“A little bit~”
The little girl made a face, she didn’t care on the surface, but she was still a little scared in her heart. She thought of Gu Chixi for the first time, ran to the sixth grade building, and wandered outside the classroom.
Gu Chixi and her classmates came out of the classroom and saw Wen Ning, her indifferent eyebrows fluctuated a little, and she asked, “What’s wrong?”
Wen Ning puffed out her cheeks, glanced at the classmate next to her, and hesitated.
It’s embarrassing to be heard by others.
“Yeah, little sister, came to see your sister Xixi again?” the female classmate joked.
Wen Ning bit her lip and nodded.
Gu Chixi noticed that she had something to say, turned to her classmates and said, “You go to the locker room first, I’ll be late.”
“okay.”
The afterglow of the setting sun elongated the shadows of the two of them, Wen Ning drooped her head, her little hands kept twisting the corners of her clothes, as if she had done something wrong, and whispered, “Sister…”
“Um.”
“I—” The little girl raised her head, embarrassed.
Gu Chixi’s expression was light, but her eyes were full of soft light. She raised her hand and touched Wen Ning’s hair, “What happened?”
Wen Ning leaned beside her and twisted for a while before humming and telling what happened.
It’s no big deal to fight with a classmate, but it’s shameful to say that you’re not afraid and turn around to rescue soldiers. She desperately wants face, but it’s okay to be found out by Gu Chixi.
Small mouth pouted, cheeks slightly bulging, very cute.
Gu Chixi was stunned for a while after hearing this, but there was still no expression on her face, she only slightly bent the corner of her mouth and said, “She scare you.”
“But Xu Wenwen really has a brother…” Wen Ning muttered and snorted in disapproval.
“You have a sister.”
“Hey?”
The little girl’s eyes were bright, and Gu Chixi took her hand, “Let’s go, I’ll take you back to the classroom.”
Saying it is a gift is actually following Wen Ning’s thoughts. In the past, people were emboldened. It was normal for children to fight each other, and more often they needed psychological comfort.
Unexpectedly, Xu Wenwen’s brother was Gu Chixi’s classmate.
There is no conflict between the two eldest children, but they are friendly when they meet each other. Gu Chixi is precocious, and the adults behave like adults. After a few chats, it will be fine, and they go back to educate their younger sisters.
Later, Xu Wenwen didn’t dare to target Wen Ning again, because she couldn’t beat it.
Years later, the past is blurred, Wen Ning still remembers that the sunset that day was the color of salted egg yolk, and Gu Chixi said to her in a firm and gentle voice: You have a sister.
It rained heavily on Friday.
Gu Chixi came back from a business trip, and the business jet that he took, like other planes, hovered over Los Angeles for a long time before landing. Back to the company and then the meeting, busy all afternoon.
“President Gu…”
Seeing the automatic sensor door open, Gu Chixi came in from the outside, and the assistant hurried up to meet him, “A captain surnamed Wen said he picked up your car keys.”
She was holding a black flat rectangle in her hand.
Tan Jia smirked beside him.
Gu Chixi was silent for a few seconds, then took the car keys and walked to the office.
“Sister Tan, why is your mouth crooked?” The girl looked at Tan Jia with concern.
“Cough,” Tan Jia recovered, “It’s okay.”
Two of the three vacant workstations at the end of the corridor were already occupied. They were new secretaries. One was Gao and the other was Chen. class work.
“President Gu, Sister Tan.”
Tan Jia followed into the office, restrained his playful expression, and said seriously: “Mr. Gu, you will go to Jiangcheng next Wednesday, the schedule is already…”
“Change to business class on DC5091.” Gu Chixi interrupted softly and sat down on the sofa.
“…”
DC is the code for Plaza Premium Air.
Tan Jia was stunned for a moment, and immediately checked the information of the flight on her mobile phone, with a look of embarrassment: “The departure time is 10:50 p.m. on Tuesday, and it is in the middle of the night. You don’t have a good rest, which will affect your work status the next day. ”
“Wen Ning is flying.”
Gu Chixi closed his eyes, and slowly stroked the car key with his thumb. Her profile profile is exquisite, her skin is a kind of morbidly cold white, her eyebrows and eyes are always light, and nothing can make a fuss.
Except for the warm lemon.
Tan Jia’s mouth crooked again.
Fortunately, the boss closed his eyes and couldn’t see her expression. Ha ha ha ha-
“OK.”
“Wait,” Gu Chixi said again, still closing his eyes, “Go to Building N102 of Tianhewan Community and drive my car to the basement of the company, and then you get off work.”
Tan Jia’s mouth was already twisted, took the car key from her hand, and left with a smile.
A long silence.
The phone suddenly vibrated, and Gu Chixi opened his eyes.
Caller ID Yang Yi.
Her face sank, her fingertips swiped the screen lightly, and turned on the speakerphone.
“Xixi, where are you?” A woman’s shrill voice came from the other end, sounding a little old.
“company.”
“A broken airline is so worthy of your attention? Gu’s family has so many properties, but I don’t see you fighting for it. Sooner or later, the she-wolf of Wang Liya will take it to death.”
“If you don’t go home all day long, what can I eat of you? It’s really kind of like a kind, and you have the same virtue as your father…”
The other party didn’t care whether she listened or not, and continued chattering.
“Okay,” Gu Chixi interrupted impatiently, feeling irritable in his heart, “I’ll go back at night.”
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
She rubbed her brows, sat quietly for a moment, opened her phone address book, found the number marked “Ling Ning”, hesitated for a while, and dialed it.
It took a long time to pick up.
“Hey?”
“it’s me.”
“I know. Is there something wrong?” Wen Ning’s tone was cold and alienated.
Gu Chixi lowered his eyes and said after a long time, “It’s okay, I want to hear your voice.”
