Without waiting for Zhou Shu to say anything, they ran away.
As long as you slip away quickly, those words can be treated as if they were never said.
But they didn't realize that Lu Jingxiao upstairs saw everything.
Gu Yunzhou.
Lu Jingxiao murmured these three words, and the displeasure in his eyes became more and more intense.
Gu Yunzhou, the second young master of the Gu family, suddenly left Yuncheng six years ago and seemed to have disappeared. No news about him could be found anymore.
In the year he disappeared, Mr. Gu passed away, and the Gu family fell into the hands of Gu Yunfan, the eldest son of the Gu family.
After Gu Yunfan took over the company, his methods became even more ruthless. If anyone made the slightest mistake, he would blacklist them and even punish them.
Although his methods were ruthless, he was still a little scared compared to Lu Jingxiao. After all, everyone in Yuncheng knew who Lu Jingxiao was.
Compared with Lu Jingxiao, he is not on the same level.
That's why he came today, also to curry favor with Lu Jingxiao.
I just didn’t expect…
Lu Jingxiao failed to curry favor with the person, but met someone he shouldn't have met.
Gu Yunfan left quietly so that Gu Yunzhou wouldn't notice.
…………
On the second floor.
Shen Shiyi sat on Gu Yunzhou's lap, looking very happy.
"Uncle Gu, why didn't you tell me you were coming? Yiyi could have come to pick you up."
"Yiyi is the birthday girl today. How can we let the birthday girl go to pick people up? So, Uncle Gu came by himself." Gu Yunzhou's voice was always very gentle, so the two children liked him very much and were very attached to him, especially Shen Shiyi.
"So that's how it is. Uncle Gu is so nice." Shen Shiyi suddenly realized, hugged Gu Yunzhou's neck, and gave him a kiss on the face.
Lu Jingxiao, who was standing at the door, took it all in.
It turns out that Shen Shiyi likes him so much.
It turns out that I have missed so much.
Missed their birthdays, missed their growth...
Their birth, first time calling out, first time walking, first time running, first time...
He missed a lot.
It turns out there's a reason why they don't like themselves.
Lu Jingxiao took a step back, the sadness and sorrow in his eyes intensified.
This was the scene that Chen Mengchu saw when he looked up.
This was the first time I saw such complex emotions in his eyes.
Sadness, sorrow, self-blame, guilt, regret...
Every word hurt him deeply.
Lu Jingxiao did not rush in or ask any questions, but turned around silently and left the door.
Chen Mengchu noticed his mood and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Seeing that the two children and Gu Yunzhou had endless things to talk about and she couldn't get a word in, she suggested that Gu Yunzhou chat with the two children while she went out to relax.
Gu Yunzhou didn't think much about it, nodded, and let Chen Mengchu leave.
Chen Mengchu left the lounge and found Lu Jingxiao very accurately.
She didn't know why she came here to find him, but she just had an inexplicable feeling that he would be there.
Lu Jingxiao was smoking in the corridor. The smoke from his mouth made his handsome face appear hazy, but the sadness between his brows could still be clearly seen.
Lu Jingxiao had just taken a puff of his cigarette when he saw Chen Mengchu walking over.
He quickly put out the cigarette in his hand.
Just as he was about to take a step forward, he thought of something and stepped back.
"Lu Jingxiao."
"I smell of cigarettes and I'm afraid I'll choke you."
His voice was very gentle, but when you listened carefully you could tell it was a little hoarse.
"Are you okay?" Chen Mengchu asked Lu Jingxiao, her voice no longer distant as before but with a hint of worry.
He has always been unruly and would not be affected by anything or anyone, but today... because of Gu Yunzhou's appearance, he was filled with frustration and powerlessness.
"I'm fine."
Chen Mengchu knew why he was sad and what he was thinking.
"Gu Yunzhou has been helping to take care of Xiaoyan and Yiyi since they were born. He is the one who stays with them, and that's why the two children are closer to him."
Chen Mengchu didn't know why he came out to explain everything.
But when I saw his sad eyes, I felt an inexplicable pain in my heart.
Listening to Chen Mengchu's explanation, Lu Jingxiao's irritable heart felt a little relieved.
At this moment, he seemed to understand.
The children are close to Gu Yunzhou because he has been taking care of them, so the two children are closer to him.
But now that he heard Chen Mengchu's explanation, he came to his senses.
Although he was sad because the two children were closer to Gu Yunzhou, it was at this moment that she came out, just to explain everything to him.
Lu Jingxiao stood there, hesitating for a long time before finally stepping forward.
He took a step forward and hugged Chen Mengchu tightly, "Chuchu, I'm sorry, and... thank you."
In the future, I will love you and the children even more and make up for what I owe you over the years.
Chen Mengchu didn't say anything, nor did he respond to Lu Jingxiao's words.
But... at this moment, she did not push Lu Jingxiao away, but let him hold her quietly.
"Will it choke you?" Lu Jingxiao asked Chen Mengchu in a hoarse voice.
"Won't."
Hearing this, Lu Jingxiao hugged the person in his arms tighter.
He didn't say anything, but hugged Chen Mengchu tightly.
Just when Shen Mengchu thought he was taking advantage of her in this way...
Just as she was about to raise her hand to push him away, she felt a chill on her shoulder.
Lu Jingxiao cried.
This was her first reaction.
He actually cried.
But the chill on the shoulder was clearly tears.
Chen Mengchu opened his lips, wanting to say something, but held back when the words reached his lips.
Maybe... it would be better not to speak at this moment.
…………
In the lounge.
Gu Yunzhou chatted with the two children.
"Xiaoyan, Yiyi, why don't you go back to City A? Isn't that your favorite place?"
Gu Yunzhou asked the two children tentatively.
Perhaps he already had the answer in his heart at this moment, but he still wanted to ask again.
"Uncle Gu, Yiyi has found her father. Are you happy for Yiyi?" Shen Shiyi asked Gu Yunzhou, unable to hide the joy in his eyes.
He was happy to find his father.
I'm still happy that Gu Yunzhou came here.
"Uncle Gu, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?" Seeing Gu Yunzhou didn't speak, Shen Shiyi put away the smile on his face and asked him seriously.
Shen Shiyi's childish and sweet voice brought Gu Yunzhou back to his senses, "Uncle Gu is fine."
"Does Yiyi like daddy?" Gu Yunzhou asked, feeling a little scared.
He was afraid that Shen Shiyi would like Lu Jingxiao, and he was also afraid that Shen Mengchu would like him.
That's why he didn't dare let her return to Yuncheng.
When she came back that time, he felt afraid.
It turns out that all the worries are real.
She really can't come back.
There was a hint of sadness and loss in Gu Yunzhou's eyes, as well as a hint of self-mockery that others could not detect.
Just when he was immersed in this sadness.
Shen Shiyi answered his question.
