There were several attempts by Guo Yunyan to change the topic to Gao Kan. He really wanted to talk to me, but I always asked him to do so.
After a while, when the car stopped at the Stellar Studio office, I really wanted to say "I'll stay here tonight". I tried a few times, but the five simple words were stuck in my throat and my heart was pounding, but I didn't say it out loud.
Guo Yunyan had already parked the car, went around to help me open the door, and extended his hand out, "I'll take you upstairs."
I held his hand and got out of the car. I didn't leave immediately, but held his hand and thought about those five words in my heart.
Just as I stood there, I saw a black shadow squatting at the entrance of the office building. I didn't pay it any attention at first and thought that it was a security guard, but just as I was about to speak to Guo Yunyan, the black figure stood up and walked towards us, calling out my name.
"Yi Shanshan?"
Her sudden shout gave me a fright.
"Miss Eyre, is that you?"
She asked again, and it was only then that I realised it was Zhou Jin's mother, Liu Jihong.
"Auntie, why are you here?" I hurried over.
Ever since she found out that Guo Yunyan and I confirmed our relationship, she became angry at me and disregarded me.
Tonight, in this world of ice and snow, there must be something important for her to stand here by herself.
"I can't get through to your phone." Sure enough, Liu Jihong said with an anxious tone.
I turned around and said to Guo Yunyan who was following behind me: "You can go back.
"Alright." Guo Yunyan recognised Liu Jihong as well. After greeting her, he hugged me and whispered in my ears: "Winkle, happy birthday. Present for you tomorrow night."
"Thank you."
Guo Yunyan used some force to hug me tightly, and said: "I hope that next year, I too, will have the qualifications to give you a birthday celebration."
"My phone is out of battery," After bidding farewell to Guo Yunyan, I explained it to him. I told the security guards to open the door and wanted to bring her upstairs, but she just stood at the entrance and refused to go in.
She was wearing a thick fur coat and probably not that cold. Even with her thick makeup, she couldn't hide her haggard expression, and couldn't stop me from holding onto her hand. She frowned and said, "My fifth brother, I don't know what's going on recently, he locked himself in his room and didn't go out. He hasn't gone to work for a few days already. He listens to you the most. "
"Don't be in such a hurry, speak slowly."
"How can I not be anxious? I only have one son, and he is my lifeline, my pillar of support. I finally managed to see him improve, but my heart hasn't even opened for two days and he's already the same as before. If he falls, what will happen to me in the future? I'm old and useless, I can't help him! That's why I came to find you! "
It was only then that I realized the situation was serious, so I invited Liu Jihong to the office on the first floor to meet her in the living room, and asked her, "Everything is fine, why did he suddenly have a mental breakdown?"
"Come home with me and take a look. It's all your fault that he turned out like this!" Liu Jihong begged me a bit before he started to glare at me hatefully, and said with a belly full of resentment, "You obviously don't like my son, but you hung him up for so many years. This time, a few days ago, I bought a diamond and said that I want to propose to you. He got drunk and went home and started locking himself up. "
"My Old Zhou is almost back. If he sees Ol 'Five acting like this again, he would definitely change his mind and not hand the company over to him. This is an opportunity that I've fought so hard for!" My son has suffered so much in these past two years, and finally, he was able to live a normal life.
I explained it to Liu Jihong, the reason why Zhou Jin suddenly turned out to be like this had nothing to do with me, he never asked me to marry him, but she didn't believe me, she acted as if she believed me to be the culprit and wanted me to take responsibility, forcing me to go and see Zhou Jin right now.
If he didn't go, he wouldn't have a peaceful night.
I had no choice but to have Xiao Wang drive us to Sujiang.
The moment the car stopped, Little Wang asked, "Huh?" Knowing that Gao Kan is my taboo, he turned his head and carefully said to me. "Mr. Gao's car is also here, do you still want to …?"
"Let's go in." He is Zhou Jin's friend, it is normal to come here to see him. Guo Yunyan is right, we cannot avoid meeting him, sooner or later we will have to resolve the awkward situation, so as to avoid bringing unnecessary trouble to the people around us.
After all, they were all businessmen.
The security guard opened the door and let our car in. Little Wang drove the car up to the front steps.
The snow had stopped falling. There was a thick layer of snow on the ground, blinding white under the light of the moon.
"Aiya, the light in my son's room lit up!" Liu Jihong rolled down the window and excitedly said: "It's probably Xiao Guan that came to persuade him, I knew that he would come, Ol 'Five would listen to him the most! Aiya, I thought I wouldn't be able to get him, I didn't think that Xiao Guan would come just by saying that, this guy is truly loyal, there's no need to say it."
She happily continued, then suddenly turned to ask me, "Speaking of which, Xiao Yi, why did you guys break up at that time? Such a good person, ah, why don't you cherish him? I heard my fifth brother say that he treats you … "
"Since there's nothing else, I'll head back." I've listened to her talk about this quite a lot these past few years. I usually just smiled, but tonight, I felt it was too loud and couldn't be bothered to talk to her anymore.
Including Lan Feng, many people have asked me the same question: How did you break up with someone that loved you so much?
Those who were speaking outside of the words revealed that I didn't know whether it was good or bad for me and that it was my fault that I broke up with them. Everyone seemed to have forgotten about the principle of 'how fish are happy'.
"Oh, can I ask you another favor? "Ol 'Five locked the door for several days and I still haven't gone in, so I'm sure I can't eat in my house anymore. The fridge is empty now, so I came here with great difficulty to buy some food for him to make a midnight snack. Can you take me to the supermarket?"
Liu Jihong said, and started to look after his own family, trying to persuade me, "Since you have come, then go take a look. I know that you will not forget your relationship with Xiao Lan, and that you don't like my fifth brother, but you are all adults, so this kind of relationship, sooner or later, will be shared. You can be friends after you break up, can't you? In any case, your relationship with Guo Yunyan has already been confirmed. Xiao Guan and that milk seller are going to get married soon too, you are a smart person, you need to think about such things … "
"Little Wang, quickly take Mrs. Zhou away!" I impatiently waved my hand, opened the car door, and jumped out.
Liu Jihong muttered in a rather wronged manner, "Look at her ugly expression, did I say something wrong? "Isn't this all for her own good? If she doesn't get married, then my son won't be able to leave her alone. When will I be able to carry a grandson …"
