It was not long after dawn, the road was damp, the air was slightly cool, and the tops of the neatly trimmed and tall pine trees on both sides were shrouded in a light white mist, which, from a distance, exuded a solemn and mysterious feeling.
A shiny black Rolls-Royce drove smoothly from the other end of the path and headed towards the famous high-end residential area in Beijing.
Inside the car.
Sheng Yuan didn’t know how many times she had taken Lai Lai down from the car window.
Because of the harsh treatment by the previous owner, the little beggar cat was malnourished, covered with ringworm, and had all its hair lost. After a period of careful care, the ringworm has almost healed after the isolation headgear was removed. The originally thin and shriveled belly has become visibly round.
However, the fur on its body has not yet fully grown out. Currently, the hair is only about less than two centimeters long. The whole cat looks white and fluffy, with a pair of big jewel eyes, one blue and one yellow, making it like a beautiful doll displayed in a window.
Very cute.
Sheng Yuan noticed that Lai Lai seemed to be somewhat resistant to being in a closed carriage and always subconsciously wanted to climb out through the window.
She originally planned to leave the cat at home when she went out, but it was very attached to her. Its eyes were moist and it looked at her pitifully, which made her feel soft-hearted.
Sheng Yuan held Lai Lai in her arms and reached out to stroke its head gently. The beautiful kitten nestled in her lap, and her uneasiness gradually subsided. It raised its head and meowed at her a few times, then rested its head on her arm obediently and didn't move around anymore.
"Miss, we still have ten minutes to go, and we will arrive at the master's house."
In the front row, the driver wearing white gloves tilted his head slightly to signal.
More than a month passed, and on the fifteenth it was time to go to the head of the family's house for a family dinner.
Sheng Yuan has been there once, and this is the second time.
However, this time was a little different from the last time. There would be one more person at the family dinner table. -The solemn black inverted iron door opened automatically to let the Rolls-Royce in.
The car stopped in front of the gorgeous foyer. Not far away, the crystal fountain made a rustling sound and splashed out beautiful transparent water.
Sheng Yuan had just walked down with the cat in her arms when a luxury car followed closely behind her and also stopped.
The servant on the other side quickly stepped forward, opened the car door, bent down, and respectfully called out in a low voice: "Young Master."
The man hummed coldly, stepped out with his long legs wrapped in dark trousers, and got out of the car first. However, he did not walk away. Instead, he turned around and looked into the car with a deep profile.
It seemed that there was someone else in the car who was about to get off.
Next second.
Then I saw a high-heeled shoe stepping on the ground.
The woman with long curly hair, exquisite dress and wearing a designer suit was leisurely preparing to get off the car.
——Gu Yun.
According to the plot in the book, after Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan got engaged, she came to the Shi family's main residence for the second time as his fiancée to attend a family dinner. Shi Xuan also came with his girlfriend Gu Yun.
In the book, Sheng Yuan, Shi Xuan, and Gu Yun are all supporting characters, but the three of them are in a complicated love triangle.
Sheng Yuan and Shi Xuan are a famous CP in the book with a melodramatic and abusive love story.
The story is so ridiculous that Shi Xuan mistakes the back of Sheng Yuan, whom he fell in love with at first sight, for Gu Yun. He is attentive and gentle to Gu Yun, but feels disgusted and avoids Sheng Yuan, who is madly in love with him.
In terms of the plot, Sheng Yuan was tortured for a long time, and a character named Gu Yun was interspersed in it, making Sheng Yuan and Shi Xuan experience various frame-ups, car accidents, and amnesia. Until Sheng Yuan was tortured physically and mentally exhausted and disheartened, the truth was revealed. Shi Xuan realized that he had recognized the wrong person, and began to pursue his wife with regret.
Not surprisingly, the final ending is that the two people are happily together and have a happy ending.
And now, at this moment——
The girl holding the cat, with her almond-shaped eyes half closed and eyelashes raised, inevitably glanced over lightly, as if she saw two insignificant strangers. Her beautiful and transparent pupils were like boiled water in summer, without any emotional ups and downs.
The whole person is outside the magnetic field of their world, completely separated from it, like a cold bystander.
After his gaze lingered for a brief second, he withdrew it without interest, and passed by with the cat in his arms, stepped onto the marble steps, and under the respectful embrace of two rows of servants of the Shi family, his slender back was dignified and full of a sense of distance as he walked in majestically.
“…”
"...Ah Xuan?"
Shi Xuan came back to his senses when Gu Yun called him for the third time. He was shocked to realize that his eyes had been following the figure uncontrollably until the figure disappeared completely. The crafted archway was now empty, and he had forgotten to look away.
Gu Yun was still sitting in the car, thinking that Shi Xuan would help her out of the car like a gentleman. She raised her hand for a long time, but there was no movement.
She followed Shi Xuan's gaze and knew who he was looking at. She gritted her teeth with jealousy in her heart, but did not show it on her face. Even though she was wearing a skirt, which was inconvenient, she still got out of the car by holding on to the door.
Desperately wanting to draw the man's attention back to herself, Gu Yun deliberately and cautiously tugged at Shi Xuan's sleeve, looking like a very uneasy little woman.
"Ah Xuan, do you think it's okay for me to do this? Will it affect my aunt's first impression of me..."
Aunt, naturally refers to Shi Xuan's mother, Shi's mother.
Shi Xuan's previous daze had disappeared, his deep and upright facial features, his expression returned to indifference. He turned around and said a few words in a low voice.
"That's good."
Those were clearly words meant to comfort me, but somehow, upon closer inspection, I could sense that there was a lack of care in them.
Gu Yun's uneasiness was real.
After being Shi Xuan's girlfriend for so long, this was the first time that he finally brought her to the Shi family's main residence. This was not as simple as just everyone sitting together and having a meal. The implied meaning in it made her very excited. She had already stepped one foot into the circle of wealthy families in Beijing.
Gu Yun takes this meal too seriously.
A styling team was invited to the house to dress her up from head to toe. All the jewelry, clothes and accessories were expensive and exquisite, and all were from big brands.
She took Shi Xuan's arm on her own.
"I'm still very nervous. After all, it's the first time I officially meet my aunt."
The woman still looked uneasy, and her tone was a little depressed and uneasy.
After all, it was an occasion like this, and Shi Xuan understood her emotions: "Don't be nervous, my mother is easy to get along with."
"Ah Xuan, it's great to have you here."
Gu Yun took the opportunity to hold the man's hand tightly and leaned her head against him gently.
"Go in." - Ps:
It's the end of the year, and I've been too busy at work these past two days!! I got home at 10 o'clock, and wrote a chapter first! I'll have the annual holiday tomorrow, and I'll slowly catch up on what I've done before.
