Chapter 354: The Previous Gu Zhou
Wang Yuanling's eyes curved: "Okay, please come with me."
They took the escalator together and slowly went down the floor.
An Lianhe looked at her demure face and chuckled, "Yuan Ling, to be honest, I'm planning to buy this set of jewelry for my future in-laws."
Wang Yuanling feigned surprise: "Future in-laws? Does Mr. Gu have a girlfriend? I've never heard him mention that."
"She can't be called a girlfriend yet. They are still in contact, but they have feelings for each other and good things are coming soon."
Wang Yuanling chuckled: "If this good thing comes to pass, I will definitely give Mr. Gu a big red envelope."
An Lianhe looked at her.
Not a bit of loss or unhappiness.
I felt a little curious in my heart.
Wang Yuanling took the box of jewelry out of the trunk, opened the box, and showed it to An Lianhe: "Aunt, take a look, is this the one you like?"
Even though the trunk is dimly lit, it is hard to overshadow the dazzling fire of Paraiba inlaid on this set of necklaces and earrings.
The more An Lianhe looked at it, the more she liked it. This set of jewelry completely suited her aesthetic taste. If she hadn't thought about giving it to her future in-laws, she would have wanted to keep it for herself: "Yes, that's it."
Wang Yuanling smiled and said, "That's good. Now I will return it intact to Zhao."
She held out the jewelry box with both hands.
"Thank you, child." An Lianhe took the jewelry box and said, "Give me your account number and I'll transfer the money back to you."
Wang Yuanling clasped her slender fingers lightly in front of her body.
Her eyes were filled with a gentle smile: "Auntie, no need, just take it."
An Lianhe was stunned and surprised: "No, no, you bought this with your own money. I am already very happy that you are willing to give it to me. You absolutely cannot take it for free."
She said, trying to push the jewelry box forward and return it to her.
Wang Yuanling chuckled, took her hands holding the jewelry box, and said in a light voice, "Auntie, please don't be polite with me. Mr. Gu is my partner, and I'm very happy for him to see him get married. This jewelry is my gift to wish them a happy marriage in advance. It's a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."
Her smile is so sincere.
An Lianhe really can't see any selfish motives.
"No, child, I will feel bad if you do this."
Wang Yuanling winked mischievously: "Aunt, if you really feel bad, can you treat me to another meal? Your food is really delicious."
Go home for dinner?
An Lianhe paused.
My instinct is to refuse.
But when he met her watery eyes full of expectation.
I couldn't even say no.
After all, the other person gave her a set of expensive jewelry, and the key point was that she had chosen it in advance, so she got it back.
But if you go home.
She said tactfully, "Look at you, kid, you're so sweet. The food at my aunt's house is not that good. So, how about I treat you to a nice private restaurant?"
Wang Yuanling's eyes curved. "Okay, it's better to do it today than today. It's almost time for dinner. Do you have anything else to do? If not, we can eat together."
An Lianhe also wanted to repay this favor as soon as possible.
I immediately agreed: "Okay, let's go now?"
Wang Yuanling's eyes curved: "Okay~"
Private restaurant.
Private room.
Wang Yuanling lightly pressed the lid of the pot with his fingertips, bent his wrist, and the clear yellow tea flowed smoothly from the mouth of the pot.
An Lianhe looked at her quietly.
Her thick curly hair gently falls on her shoulders, and her eyebrows and eyes are filled with a faint gentle smile. The picture of her making tea is pleasing to the eye.
To be fair.
This is also a good kid.
But that's the problem.
She comes from the Wang family of Si L.
Back then, it almost dragged the Gu family into trouble, and also involved her audacious uncle.
This destined them to be separated.
No one knows a child better than his mother.
How could she not see the huge difference between how Gu Zhou treated Liu Yingying and how he treated Wang Yuanling?
The former is full of perfunctory behavior, while the latter is completely involuntary.
But no hope means no hope.
Fortunately.
Wang Yuanling was not unhappy about Gu Zhou's upcoming marriage. Instead, she was genuinely happy for her friend.
This made her feel relieved.
As long as there is no mutual understanding, this fate will not be possible.
"Auntie, please have some tea."
An Lianhe's wandering thoughts returned to normal.
She smiled and said, "Thank you, child."
Wang Yuanling smiled sweetly, "Auntie, you're so polite."
She lowered her eyes, took a sip of hot tea, put it down, and chatted: "Aunt, I heard that Mr. Gu has a younger brother. Is he engaged in other industries? It seems that he doesn't work at Gu's?"
An Lianhe's expression froze for a moment, then she smiled. "Xiao Yi... is still young, and he's already engaged. I plan to let him join the Gu family to help out after he's married and has settled down."
Wang Yuanling joked: "Looking at it this way, Mr. Gu is really a good brother, supporting the family business by himself."
When this is mentioned.
This touched An Lianhe's heart, and her eyes were filled with kindness: "A Zhou, he is really a good brother. He has been taking care of his younger brother and the whole family since he was a child."
Wang Yuanling was curious: "Oh? Since childhood?"
Good memories of the past come flooding back.
Perhaps it was because of the warm memory, or perhaps because she discovered that Wang Yuanling's feelings for Gu Zhou were not a romantic one, she let down her guard.
His expression was moved, and he took the initiative to open up: "One time, our whole family had the flu and was very sick. The nanny didn't come that day, and I was too sick to get up to cook. When I woke up, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Do you know what I saw when I got up?"
Wang Yuanling's eyes sparkled with curiosity: "What did you see?"
An Lianhe thought of the little figure busy in the kitchen, her eyes softening. "I saw Ah Zhou, who was only 6 years old, imitating the nanny's usual cooking movements. He stood on a small stool and cooked porridge for us. He learned it very well. Then I remembered that his brother didn't like plain porridge, so I took out minced meat and vegetables from the refrigerator and made a bowl of salty porridge. He was only 6 years old at the time, but he already knew how to take care of us when we were sick."
After saying this, as if worried that she couldn't imagine the scene, he smiled and added, "Before he was 10, Zhou was shorter than the average child. His father and I were initially worried that he wouldn't grow taller. But after he turned 10, he just kept growing."
Wang Yuanling agreed with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Gu's sense of responsibility has been cultivated since childhood."
An Lianhe waved her hand: "It can't be said that he was trained, but he is a very good child."
Wang Yuanling: "The reason I chose Mr. Gu to work with is that I believe he is very capable and responsible. You can rest assured now. Mr. Gu has not only grown taller, he is now nearly 1.9 meters tall."
"Yeah, I never thought he would grow so tall all of a sudden. Time flies."
Wang Yuanling also sighed: "Yes, time flies. I came to this family when I was 11 years old, and now more than ten years have passed. Unfortunately, I still can't remember anything from my childhood."
An Lianhe looked at her in surprise and asked tentatively, "I heard that you can't remember anything before the age of 11. Have you still not remembered it?"
Wang Yuanling shook her head slightly. "No, I really can't think of anything at all. I just remember that after I lost my memory, my grandparents took me away and adopted me."
After she finished speaking, she added casually, "But it's okay if I can't remember. My biological parents both abandoned me. Even if I remember those memories, they probably won't be good ones."
An Lianhe looked at her sad smile and said kindly, "It's okay, child. It's all in the past. Look at you now. You're so lucky. You've become a CEO, you have your own career to build, and you're loved by your grandparents."
Wang Yuanling stared at her for a few seconds, then smiled. "Thank you, auntie. Yes, I'm also very fortunate to have met such kind-hearted people like my grandparents."
The waiter knocked on the door.
An Lianhe smiled and said, "Come, the food is served, let's go to the table."
Wang Yuanling smiled: "Okay."
She stood up and turned to look at the door.
The door opened.
The waiter brought in the dishes.
But there was another person behind.
The man looked over and was also stunned when he saw Wang Yuanling.
