Chapter 111 Gu Yunting is really gone!
Seeing her surprised look, Chen Yanzhi pursed his lips slightly and asked jokingly, "He went to the island today, don't tell me he didn't tell you before he left?"
Meng Xue thought about what happened last night. No wonder Gu Yunting came to her suddenly. No wonder he looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. Only then did she realize that he must have come to say goodbye to her.
As for why he didn't mention going to the island later, Su Mengxue understood it was because of the harsh words she'd said the previous day. She clenched her fingers at her side, a complex mix of emotions welling up in her heart. All she could think about was what Gu Yunting had said to her last night, and his broken and desolate look.
Seeing her pale face and the look of being troubled, Chen Yanzhi said for no reason: "I thought you would go with him to join the army, but I didn't expect..."
He was halfway through his words when Su Mengxue suddenly looked up at him, eyes full of anger and said, "Chen Yanzhi, what is my relationship with Gu Yunting? Why should I follow him to join the army? Can you think before you speak next time?"
Su Mengxue was furious and anxious. She was angry that Gu Yunting had left without a word, and she was anxious because she didn't know how many years he would be gone. She had no place to vent her anger, and Chen Yanzhi, who happened to be at the crossroads of her anger, became her punching bag.
Chen Yanzhi certainly understood that she was trying to vent her anger on him, but he wasn't one to swallow his anger. He frowned and added sarcastically, "Su Mengxue, I think you're the one without a brain. When Gu Yunting goes to a deserted place like an island, he'll definitely be a hot commodity. He won't be gone for three to five years, and he's already old enough. I guess his children will be around when he comes back."
Su Mengxue paused for a moment, then replied stubbornly, "What does his behavior have to do with me?"
However, her words were obviously not confident enough. She didn't want to waste time talking to Chen Yanzhi anymore. She wanted to go to the Gu family in person to find out whether Gu Yunting really went to the island.
Just as she was about to leave, Xu Jianian grabbed her wrist and asked coldly, "Su Mengxue, where are you going?"
Su Mengxue then remembered Xu Jianian who was beside her. She replied in a low voice, "Xu Jianian, I have something else to do and I have to leave here. You can find someone to judge the result later."
Seeing that Xu Jianian refused to let go, she knew that he was also stubborn and insisted on finding someone to judge in front of her. She said in an unhappy tone: "Xu Jianian, let me go. I have something urgent to leave now."
Xu Jianian, however, persisted, saying, "Su Mengxue, this is something you promised me, how can you go back on your word?"
Su Mengxue's mind was in turmoil, and she had completely lost her patience. She broke free from Xu Jianian's restraints and shouted at him, "Xu Jianian, why do you have to compete with me? As a fashion designer, the most important thing is to focus on studying clothes. Also, you need to be mentally firm and have absolute confidence in yourself. Otherwise, it's easy to be swayed by other people's opinions and fail to design your own style."
Seeing Xu Jianian remained silent, she added, "Everyone has different tastes and preferences. Even if you ask a hundred people to judge, the results will be meaningless. If you want them to like your design, you have to cater to their tastes and aesthetics. If everyone insists on this, niche designs will never have a chance to take off."
After saying that, she left Xu Jianian standing there in a daze, turned around and walked out quickly. When she reached the door, she realized that there were no buses at this time.
Just when she was at a loss, she heard that familiar voice behind her: "I'll take you there."
Su Mengxue turned around and saw Chen Yanzhi standing not far away with his hands in his pockets, looking at her casually.
Su Mengxue raised her eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you staying to take pictures of the collection?"
Chen Yanzhi shrugged, a smile on his face: "Everyone who competed with me has left, so it doesn't matter whether I shoot or not."
After he finished speaking, he walked to Su Mengxue and added, "Since you don't want to believe what I said, I will take you to confirm this matter now."
Although Su Mengxue didn't want to have too much contact with Chen Yanzhi, she was in a hurry to find Gu Yunting and didn't care about that. She quickly said, "Okay, let's go."
After the two of them got in the car, Chen Yanzhi's eyes rested on her leisurely and asked, "Where are you going to ask now? The army or the Gu family?"
Su Mengxue's eyes darkened and she said, "Let's go to Gu's house first."
"Okay." Chen Yanzhi responded readily and started the car.
Twenty minutes later, the two of them arrived at the military compound. After she got out of the car and walked to the door, she was stopped by the sentry.
"Comrade, why did you rush in without saying anything? Who are you looking for so late at night?"
When Su Mengxue lived in Gu's house some time ago, she was free to come and go here, so this time she thought she could just walk in without saying hello.
She hurriedly said, "Comrade, don't you recognize me? I used to live in Gu's house!"
The sentry looked her up and down and shook his head firmly: "I don't know her."
Su Mengxue then realized that she hadn't been here for a long time. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Chen Yanzhi speak leisurely behind her: "Then you should know me, right? The two of us are going to visit the Gu family now. Do you need to call to confirm or just let us go?"
When the sentry saw Chen Yan behind the woman, he immediately let her go.
After the two of them entered the courtyard, Chen Yanzhi teased, "Su Mengxue, it seems that you don't come here as often as I do. No wonder Gu Yunting didn't tell you when he went to the island."
A hint of sadness flashed in Su Mengxue's eyes, but she didn't want to pay attention to him at the moment. She walked straight past him and walked quickly towards the Gu family. When she knocked on the door, she saw that it was Aunt Wang who came out.
She didn't bother to say hello and asked anxiously, "Auntie Wang, I came here to ask Gu Yunting if he went to the island?"
"Miss Su, Yun Ting did go to the island to station troops. He just left this morning. Didn't he tell you?" Aunt Wang nodded in response, and then a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
The last bit of hope in Meng Xue's heart was dashed. She calmed down and murmured softly, "Maybe he thought I was insignificant, so he didn't tell me."
When Wang Ma heard her say this, she hurriedly explained, "Miss Su, you must have misunderstood Yun Ting. He came back a few days ago to ask me to teach him how to make porridge. He said you liked it and asked me to buy the ingredients. But before he could learn, he came home the next day to pack up and leave."
Su Mengxue's eyes welled up when she heard this. She tried hard not to cry, and asked with a tight throat, "Auntie Wang, did Gu Yunting tell you anything before he left? For example, how long he'd be gone this time?"
