Chapter 159 Goodbye Xu Jianian!
The medical worker who had come to Shanghai on a business trip with Lin Wenbin saw his stunned look and couldn't help but pat him on the back. She asked with a puzzled look in her eyes, "Instructor, what's wrong with you? Did you see someone you know?"
Lin Wenbin finally came to his senses. He frowned and said to himself, "Did I see it wrong? But I'm not old enough to have blurry eyes. That woman was clearly Su Mengxue. It's not surprising that she has a man by her side, but who is that little boy beside her?"
Although he didn't see the little boy's appearance clearly, he could tell that he was about four or five years old.
Four or five years old?
He suddenly recalled what happened back then, and an indescribable expression crossed his face. Could it be that Su Mengxue really hadn't aborted the child? Was this little boy Yun Ting's?
But in the recording from that year, she clearly said that she had aborted the child?
But then he thought about Su Mengxue coming to see him. She did say at first that the child was not aborted and she was going to join the army.
He instantly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Instructor, instructor, are you listening to me?"
Lin Wenbin's thoughts were interrupted again. His face flushed as he growled at the confused nurse beside him, "What are you shouting about? I'm not deaf and can't hear you!"
Seeing him suddenly angry, the medical worker beside him scratched his head innocently and muttered softly: "Instructor, my voice is not loud either."
"Okay, I'm tired after a day, let's go back to the guesthouse."
Lin Wenbin walked forward as he spoke. Although he was extremely tired today, his mind couldn't stop.
All he could think about was Gu Yunting. In the past five years, he had not married and had children as he wished. Although Gu Yunting did not say it explicitly, he knew who he was waiting for in his heart.
At the moment, he didn't know whether he should tell him about seeing Su Mengxue, including the child.
After thinking for a few moments, he made up his mind.
He thought that after finishing the matter in Shanghai, he would personally investigate Su Mengxue's matter before telling Gu Yunting. After all, he didn't know the real age of the little boy, and it was possible that the child was born to her and the man just now.
After Su Mengxue and Lu Yuanzhou finished their meal outside and were on their way home, Lu Zihao fell asleep.
Lu Yuanzhou, who was sitting in the driver's seat, glanced at Zihao who was sleeping soundly through the rearview mirror, and said hesitantly, "Mengxue, I have something to tell you."
It was rare for Su Mengxue to hear Lu Yuanzhou look so serious. She looked up at him and asked, "Yuanzhou, what happened?"
After a brief silence, Lu Yuanzhou said slowly: "Mengxue, my mother called yesterday. She said that my father has not been feeling well recently and she wants me to go home. I..."
He paused, mustered up the courage to say, "Mengxue, Zihao and I get along very well, and I really like him. You haven't met the right one in these years, Mengxue, how about we get married?"
"marry?"
Su Mengxue was a little dazed. Ever since Lu Yuanzhou came to Shanghai with her, she had thought more than once that Lu Yuanzhou would bring up this matter, and she had also thought about how she should respond to him then.
But he never mentioned it over the years, and gradually she stopped thinking about it.
Now that Lu Yuanzhou brought it up, she didn't know how to respond.
Of course, she knew Lu Yuanzhou's current situation. He was the only son in the family, and his parents were getting older. She could understand them. She had mentioned to him many times over the years that he should go home, but he had always refused.
Her eyes darkened, and she said, "Yuanzhou, I know you stayed in Shanghai for me, but I..."
She fell silent mid-sentence, and the air in the car froze instantly.
After a long silence, Lu Yuanzhou regained his spirits and said to Su Mengxue, "Mengxue, I understand. As for going home, I have already asked for personal leave from the hospital. I will go back to see them after I finish my two days off and then come back."
His Adam's apple rolled, and he added, "Mengxue, I still say what I said before. Liking you is something I am willing to do. You must not feel pressured. It's my own choice and I will take responsibility for it."
Although she said so, Su Mengxue knew in her heart that Lu Yuanzhou had to stay here because of her, and therefore could not stay by his parents to fulfill his filial duties.
But if she was asked to marry Lu Yuanzhou, she was unwilling in her heart. Even after so many years, she still couldn't forget the person hidden in her heart.
It is said that sons look like their mothers, but as Zihao grew older, his voice and appearance became very similar to Gu Yunting, and he had asked her more than once who his father was and where he was.
She didn't want to deceive him, nor did she want him to disturb Gu Yunting's life in the future. She just said that they had broken up and that none of that mattered anymore.
But she dreamed of Gu Yunting many times in the middle of the night. Not only did she dream of him, but she also dreamed of the photo that Lin Wenbin had shown her that year.
This even became her inner demon, and she would dream about it every once in a while.
So she has not been sleeping well in recent years.
Su Mengxue and Lu Yuanzhou each had their own concerns, so they tacitly agreed not to speak along the way.
next day
After Su Mengxue sent Zihao to kindergarten, she went to the factory to check the fabrics. During a break, her assistant Xiao Chen told her that a new store had opened opposite their store.
She had already been there. The store was very large and the clothes were not only fashionable but also had many styles. It was obvious that the designers of this store were very talented.
Opening a shop across from theirs? This sounds like a challenge to them.
This aroused Su Mengxue's curiosity. After finishing the drawings, she left the factory, had dinner, and went to the store across the street.
Although it was noon, there were still a lot of customers in the store. After she walked around the store, she found that this store was indeed as Xiao Chen said, and the designers were very impressive at first glance.
Not only that, she found that the design style of the clothes in the store had a sense of déjà vu, which made her inadvertently think of Xu Jianian.
When this thought came to her mind, she quickly shook her head. When she left Jiangbei, she did not say goodbye to Xu Jianian because they had an average relationship. However, she clearly remembered that he said he was going to study abroad.
Even though five years have passed, it shouldn't be such a coincidence.
She looked at the clothes and really wanted to get to know the fashion designer in this store because these clothes were designed according to her aesthetic taste.
Soon a clerk came up to her and said with a smile, "Hello, ma'am, our boss would like to invite you to the tea room upstairs. Do you have time?"
"The owner of your shop?" Su Mengxue exclaimed in surprise, and asked hurriedly, "But I don't know him."
She thought that although her shop and Tang Qing's shop were across from each other, she was not in charge of the store's affairs. She was only responsible for the design. It was impossible for the owner of this shop to tell that she was a partner of the shop across the street, right?
Seeing her puzzled look, the clerk smiled and said, "Ma'am, please follow me. You'll understand once you go upstairs."
Su Mengxue followed the waiter up to the second floor, full of confusion. When the waiter pushed open the door of the tea room, she saw the man sitting on the sofa and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Xu Jianian, is that you?"
