Chapter 543: The Fragrant Scent
Gu Hanye didn’t understand why Jiuyao suddenly kissed him at first, but when he saw her expression, he knew what she was thinking and pinched her face with a smile.
"Yaoyao, you've always been bothered by Lin Qingqing, right?"
"No, I didn't." Su Jiuyao turned her head away proudly, pretending to appreciate the flowers.
Gu Hanye smiled and turned her shoulders: "Okay, it's a matter between her and Yang Qiming anyway. It has nothing to do with us. We don't need to care."
He knew that from the first time she went to his office and suggested that he keep the planted tank that Lin Qingqing gave him until it burst, without having Lin Qingqing clean it regularly, Gu Hanye knew that Jiuyao cared about his relationship with Lin Qingqing.
Later they went to play golf together, and then Lin Qingqing fainted in his arms, and Jiuyao was unhappy too.
Maybe from that time on, Jiuyao used her woman's sixth sense to sense that Lin Qingqing was not simple.
It's just that he was not careful enough and did not notice Qingqing's love for him earlier, nor did he see her ill will towards Jiuyao. As a result, Jiuyao felt wronged.
Anyway, it's over.
"Okay, let's not talk about them anymore. I have something to do..."
Before Gu Hanye could finish speaking, Su Jiuyao suddenly interrupted him.
"Wait a minute, do you smell that?"
Gu Hanye sniffed it carefully, "It seems like a fragrance suddenly came."
Su Jiuyao's eyes lit up and she nodded: "Yes, it's the smell of Epiphyllum!"
She looked around excitedly and sure enough, she saw a night-blooming cereus in the corner.
The plant is one meter tall, with lush leaves hanging down. Three night-blooming cereus buds are hanging on the leaves, about to bloom, and a faint fragrance emanates from the buds.
Gu Hanye hasn't seen Epiphyllum for a long time, since his mother passed away.
"Do you like Epiphyllum?"
Su Jiuyao nodded: "I like it! She's so beautiful, why wouldn't you like her?"
Gu Hanye looked at her silently. In fact, his mother also liked Epiphyllum when she was alive, and her life at that time was also like a flash in the pan.
Later, Chen Xiaofeng entered the Gu family and pulled up all the Epiphyllums by the roots and threw them away. She said that Epiphyllums bloomed for a short time and were white in color, so it was obvious that they had a short lifespan.
Gu Hanye felt heartbroken and very sad when he saw his mother's favorite flowers being trampled and thrown away.
At night, he ran to the trash can, dug out a discarded plant, took it back to the back garden, and wanted to plant it somewhere where it couldn't be seen.
But he saw Uncle Qi doing the same thing. When Uncle Qi saw him holding the flower, he said nothing, but just waved his hand and asked him to bring the Epiphyllum over.
Uncle Qi planted the two Epiphyllums and said to him, "Actually, Epiphyllums are very resilient. Look, these were thrown out this morning, and their roots have been exposed to the sun. Many potted plants are most afraid of this, but Epiphyllums won't die. Pick off a leaf from it, leave it for three to five days, and then plant it in a new pot. It will still survive and grow into a new plant."
Gu Hanye shed tears as he heard those words.
He wished his mother's life could be as tenacious as the night-blooming cereus plant, but she was like the bud, blooming briefly before withering.
When he thought of the past, his eyes still welled up with redness.
Su Jiuyao pulled his hand: "What's wrong with you?"
He turned his head to look at Su Jiuyao and smiled faintly: "It's just that I remembered that my mother also liked Epiphyllum when she was alive and raised many plants. After she passed away, Chen Xiaofeng pulled out those flowers. Uncle Qi and I picked up two plants. This is the one I picked up. The other one has been given to grandma."
Su Jiuyao pursed her lips and shook his hand again.
