Chapter 207 The Flower Has Grown
Xiao Xuanjin played chess with his father-in-law for a while. Later, Su Boren had something urgent to do and was called away by his secretary.
Xiao Xuanjin took out his cell phone and saw the message Su Mi left for him. She said she was going out to meet Gu Mucheng.
She now reports her itinerary to him in detail, frankly and directly.
Putting away his phone, Xiao Xuanjin walked out of the study, went downstairs, and headed out into the courtyard.
The layout of the Su Mansion was actually similar to the Jinhua Residence he built, but he had never visited the Su Mansion like this before.
Since he had nothing to do anyway, he decided to take a walk around.
Before I knew it, I walked along the path and arrived at the glass greenhouse.
Because Jiangcheng has a warm and suitable climate, the flowers and plants here grow particularly lush, with a very natural green and floral fragrance.
He looked around and saw butterflies fluttering among the neatly trimmed flowers and plants, as if he was whispering to them. The picture was particularly vivid, full of original vitality and vigor.
The glass greenhouse that caught his eye had matching white tables and chairs. He imagined that one day, Su Su was wearing a beautiful gauze dress, sitting there, basking in the sun, drinking tea and taking a nap, spending a leisurely afternoon.
While he was lost in thought, he heard footsteps.
Looking back, I saw a middle-aged woman coming towards me. She was wearing work clothes and judging by her appearance, she must be the gardener here.
She was holding a watering can, obviously here to take care of the flowers and plants. When she saw him, she was very respectful, "Uncle."
"Um."
The gardener had seen him before when Xiao Xuanjin came to the Su family to propose marriage. Now, seeing him again, he still admired his son-in-law's handsome appearance.
Even though he was only wearing a very casual black thin shirt and plain cotton trousers today, it was difficult to conceal his cold and noble temperament, which was very suitable for the eldest lady.
At this moment, he was seen with his hands in his pockets, his eyes fixed on a certain place in the greenhouse, as if he was worried about something.
The gardener didn't dare to disturb them, so he walked over and went to take care of the flowers and plants.
After the gardener appeared, Xiao Xuanjin calmly withdrew his thoughts and prepared to leave.
As he turned around, he heard the gardener muttering behind him, "The young lady will definitely have to take care of it herself tomorrow. Fortunately, the flowers are growing well."
She takes care of it herself? What kind of flowers are they?
Xiao Xuanjin was a little curious and turned around to look at where the gardener was standing.
She stood in front of a shelf in the greenhouse, with three unique flowers in front of her that were unusual from the others.
It is a little different from the other flowers growing in pairs in the greenhouse.
He couldn't see clearly in this direction, so he took a few steps and entered the greenhouse.
Now I can finally see clearly, it’s lavender, forget-me-nots, and four-leaf clover.
These three kinds... Xiao Xuanjin supported himself on the glass door frame, his mind suddenly swaying as memories flooded back like a rising tide.
"Master, it's good to send flowers. Girls like flowers."
"These three flowers have wonderful meanings, representing beautiful love, eternal longing, and the blessing of the God of Luck. They are the perfect gift for your girlfriend."
"It would be even better if she could grow it herself."
He looked at the dog-headed military advisors and was somewhat tempted, but he couldn't help but worry, "This is a bad idea. If it doesn't work out, won't all the good meaning be lost?"
"No, Master. We can find the best quality seeds to grow. They are very easy to keep alive."
later.
He saw her scatter the seeds and throw them away, saying, "This is yours, I don't want it."
The implication did not come true, but instead, it became a prophecy.
Now, when he saw these three flowers again, he was not sure if these were the same three seeds, nor did he know why she grew the same flowers. He only knew that this memory was a pain that pierced his brain.
The gardener had just finished watering the plants when he turned around and saw that his son-in-law had returned at some point.
She stared at the flowers in front of her, her eyes filled with pain and solemnity.
"Uncle, are you okay?"
Xiao Xuanjin came back to his senses and shook his head, "It's okay."
"When was this flower planted?"
The gardener calculated the time and said, "About five years ago."
Five years ago, wasn't that exactly when they broke up?
"Does she like this flower very much?"
"The eldest lady cherishes this flower very much. Whenever she is at home, she will take care of it personally. Oh, and she used to stare at this flower in a daze. I think the eldest lady must be missing the person who gave her the flower seeds."
These words shook Xiao Xuanjin's guesses, the fog dissipated, and the truth was slowly emerging.
He was eager for some kind of confirmation. "Are you saying that someone gave her these flower seeds?"
"Yes, one day, the eldest lady brought three seeds and asked me about the meaning of these flowers. I knew that these must have been given to her by someone."
The gardener thought at the time that the person who sent the flowers was quite thoughtful.
Xiao Xuanjin strode over, looked at the three beautiful flowers, reached out and lightly touched the pistil. The branches and leaves trembled slightly with the movement, just like his heartbeat at the moment, buzzing softly in the unexpected truth.
Only now did he realize that she had lied to him and had never thrown away the three seeds.
She put on a show for him and was forced to break up with him, but she must have been very unwilling in her heart.
Otherwise, why would she secretly keep the seeds and take good care of them over the years, watching them gather strength to wake up and bloom gently?
She still remembered the agreement and what he said.
Perhaps, as she said, she had never forgotten him, and like him, she had been missing him from afar all these years.
He felt extremely regretful and wondered why he hadn't discovered it earlier. Maybe they wouldn't have missed it for so long.
…
Su Mi came out of the cafe and asked someone to investigate the Gu family's affairs, wanting to see if the Gu family still had room for maneuver.
Her mind was full of the last words Gu Mucheng said to her.
On the way back, I still hadn't recovered from it.
She thought what happened to her was already strange enough, but she didn't expect that what Gu Mucheng experienced was even more bizarre.
How could there be tasks that need to be completed repeatedly? This is too outrageous.
How did he get through all these years?
When she returned to the Su Mansion, it was getting dark outside. As soon as she came in, she saw Wei Rushuang in the living room.
"Mommy, you haven't slept yet?"
"No, I just finished watching these episodes of TV."
Su Mi saw a scene on TV where a couple who had reunited after a long separation were expressing their true feelings to each other.
"Okay, then take your time to read it."
Without disturbing her any further, Su Mi prepared to go upstairs to find Xiao Xuanjin.
I guess Daddy won’t ask him to play chess anymore.
After walking a few steps, Wei Rushuang, who had just been engrossed in watching TV, turned around and suddenly said, "Qingqing, go see Xiaojin."
Su Mi frowned, "What happened to him?"
"I don't know. He doesn't look very well, so I don't want to ask too much. You two should just have a good chat."
"Um."
Su Mi ran upstairs in a few steps, walked to the bedroom door, and hurriedly pushed it open.
