he sees your voice

Chapter 144 The family is gone, what do you want a house for?

Gu Chu withdrew his gaze, landed on the coffee in the cup, and said lightly, "Only you, Ling Shuang, can say the words of being good-looking if you get cheap. Without your report in the hospital, I don't think I would either." Will go to the point of being his assistant."

"Who reported you?" Ling Shuang raised her voice when she heard this, "Hey, Gu Chu, you have to make this clear. Don't rely on others if you can't afford your job."

"Didn't you go to the dean's office and say that I have a problem with my attitude? I know, you retaliated when you failed to interview Lu Beichen last time." Gu Chu was still a little annoyed when he mentioned this matter.

Ling Shuang licked his lips, put the coffee spoon aside, and sneered, "You think I, Ling Shuang, is an idler, right? I'm so busy every day that I still have time to report you? It's ridiculous! There is such a waste of lips and tongue. I have already used the time to catch up on sleep."

Gu Chu was taken aback.

She knew Ling Shuang somewhat. Although she was arrogant, at least she would not deny what she had done. Then... who would be the one who laid hands on her?

In the evening, Lu Beichen didn't come back, nor did he call.To be more precise, he didn't call this week, not even a text message telling her to do something.Instead, my aunt called and asked her when she would return to Qiongzhou.

Her injury was very small and healed quickly, but in her aunt's heart, Lu Beichen became a disaster star, and what she wanted from Gu Chu was to stay away from the disaster star and cherish life.Go back to Qiongzhou quickly, without any difficulty or disease.

Gu Si was not at home, and a note was placed on the coffee table, which was written in Luo Chi's handwriting: I took your sister out to play, don't worry, I am a policeman, no one is safer than me.

Holding the note, Gu Chu suddenly felt that she was not qualified to be an older sister at all, but Luo Chi thought it through. In this city full of devastation covered by neon lights, Gu Si must be able to feel like a duck to water.

When he was planning to eat alone, he never thought that Qiao Yunxiao would come, so he dragged her out without saying a word.

After a sumptuous meal, Gu Chu recalled the authentic taste of old Shanghai.I thought of many things, but was suppressed by her again.

During the meal, Qiao Yunxiao said a lot, but most of them were to make her happy. She was thinking, is her emotion so obvious?She catered to some of his jokes, and didn't care about Fengyue or the past, because she didn't want others to worry about her.

After finishing her meal, she thought that Qiao Yunxiao would take her back, but unexpectedly, the car drove out of the city all the way, saying goodbye to the noisy world, and the environment on both sides became more and more quiet.

"Where are you going?" Gu Chu asked.

"You'll know soon." Qiao Yunxiao looked for her as soon as she came out of the company today, and she was still a business person in a suit and tie.The light from the street lights on both sides was soft, falling on the windshield, sweeping spots of light on his broad forehead, turning the steering wheel, he took the opportunity to look at her and smiled, his narrow eyes were stained with tenderness.

"Don't just assassinate me in the wilderness." She joked in a low voice.

This made Qiao Yunxiao laugh, raised his hand and rubbed her head, and said, "I don't want to part with it."

Gu Chu pursed his lips and smiled lightly, feeling a little warm in his heart, but didn't say anything more.

Road, more and more familiar.

Some of the surrounding buildings are newly built, but some are hidden deep in her memory, hidden in layers among the trees illuminated by street lights, high and low, red and green.She was startled, and her face was almost pressed against the car window.

Qiao Yunxiao caught the surprise on her face, didn't speak, just drove straight ahead.

After another ten minutes, the car stopped at a group of villas.Qiao Yunxiao turned off the fire and turned to look at Gu Chu.Through a window, she stared blankly at the silent building not far away, and asked after a long time, "Why did you bring me here?"

Qiao Yunxiao didn't explain much. After getting out of the car, she walked around to the other side and opened the door, and unbuckled her seat belt, "Let's go."

"No..." Gu Chu retracted reflexively.

Qiao Yunxiao grabbed her wrist and didn't force her out, but he didn't allow her to leave the room either. He looked at her and said, "Don't you even have the courage to face it?"

She looked into his eyes, and he nodded at her with encouragement in the corners of his eyes and brows.After a while, she relaxed and let Qiao Yunxiao pull her out of the car.

"This path hasn't changed yet."

On the forest path leading to the villa, Qiao Yunxiao was probably afraid that she would turn around and run away at any time, so he held her hand and never let go.This is not a driveway, and more often than not, people who live here run along this path for exercise in the early morning or afternoon.

She also ran along this path with her father, and his father told her with a smile that in the early days, nothing was important about people, the important thing was to have a good body, remember.She replied loudly to her father that she remembered it, her crisp voice could almost shake the birds flying around.But every time she ran a lap, she would cheat, complaining that her legs hurt and her feet hurt. After all, her father spoiled her and carried her home every time without exception.

At that time, my mother always complained to my father, saying that she kept exercising, but in the end she came back with her back, which was a waste of exercise.My father smiled and said, how dare I disobey my princess's order?
Everyone in the business world knows that Gu Zefeng loves his daughter the most. As long as his daughter is bored, even if the meeting is postponed, he will go home and be a horse for his daughter.

Gu Chu's heart was sour, and he replied softly, "The trees around are different."

Qiao Yunxiao held her hand, walked slowly up the path, and said with a smile, "There are too many catkins flying in the poplar trees, so they were all replaced by palm trees."

The Sheshan villa group, an earlier villa area in Shanghai, goes straight along this small road and is the first batch of villas, one of which is their home.At that time, their Gu family moved to Shanghai and lived here.At that time, there were tall poplar trees on both sides of this path, and there were always flying catkins flying every spring.She likes that season, because Shanghai is a city with little snow, and every time the catkins fall, it is always better than white snow.

Now, it is no longer popular to plant that kind of northern trees in Shanghai. It is full of dense palm trees as far as the eye can see, with more foreign style and less nostalgia.

Walking along the path through the palm, the villa with a Western architectural style is highlighted under the bright yellow street lights.The door was closed tightly, and the lights in the villa were not on.Qiao Yunxiao led her closer and stopped in front of the gate.Gu Chu raised his hand to caress the surrounding wall, and found a few scratches on the corner by the door.

Eyes are red.

The scratches were left by her.

The heightening section by section is her growing up bit by bit.

The seal on the gate is no longer there, and the walls are covered with ivy, which is beautiful in shape and neatly grown, and it can be seen that someone has taken good care of it.She came back here again, and there seemed to be the sound of laughter in her ears when she was a child.

The house remains the same, but things have changed.

"After the house was approved by the court to be auctioned off, a Chinese-American bought it." Qiao Yunxiao knew her feelings, and said softly, "I asked someone to inquire about the new owner of the house. I finally heard that the other party is still alive. I am willing to sell it."

Gu Chu looked at him puzzled.

He stared at her with a soft tone, "I want to buy it back for you."

Gu Chu was startled, and quickly shook his head, "No need."

"I know you've always wanted to come back here." Qiao Yunxiao sighed, and gently embraced her, "This is where you grew up, and it's your home. You've been avoiding Shanghai for so many years, isn't it? Because this place doesn't belong to you anymore? Don't worry, I will definitely persuade that Chinese man to sell the villa to me this time."

"It's really unnecessary." Gu Chu hurriedly said, "Even if you buy it back, so what? The family has already broken up, so why do you need a house?"

Qiao Yunxiao felt distressed, and couldn't help but put her in his arms, and said in a low voice, "Just let me do something for you, don't let me live in guilt all the time, okay?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Gu Chu sighed softly, "At that time, the Qiao family was also wise and safe. In fact, it was like this. Whoever came into contact with the Gu family back then would be unlucky. The mess my father caused was too big for the Qiao family to fill. Did you still want to drag your Qiao family to be buried with you?"

"What about now?" Qiao Yunxiao held her face lightly, with a serious expression, "I have the ability to protect you now, even if you want to be buried, I will definitely jump down to accompany you."

Gu Chu gently pulled his arm down, and said earnestly, "Do you know why we have to live cautiously? I just don't want what happened in the Gu family to affect the present. The Qiao family is not easy. My parents carried the calamity of the Gu family back then." Those who have come down, I am doomed to bear the hardships of the Gu family in the future. Yunxiao, in fact, you and I both know that the days of reckless behavior are over, and none of us can go back."

"Could it be that I don't even have the right to care about you?" Qiao Yunxiao's brows were filled with pain.

Gu Chu squeezed out a smile, looked at him, stepped forward to hug him after a long time, and said, "No, Yun Xiao, you will always be my good friend, good brother." She never dared to live up to this feeling. .

After playing with Luo Chi crazy for a day, Gu Si came back crying and tired, and asked where he went, Gu Si looked contemptuous, "Merry-go-round, sister, can you imagine that such a big man would take me to play on the merry-go-round?" !Jesus, what a disgrace."

Gu Chu felt that there might be more than just a merry-go-round at the back. Gu Si was so courageous that he couldn't vent his emotions without playing some exciting rides.If he guessed right, Gu Si had already fallen asleep like a dead man by eleven o'clock in the evening.

She lost sleep, tossed and turned, and finally stared at the Bund outside the window, counting the neon lights.

Until early in the morning, she vaguely heard some movement coming from downstairs, her heart was agitated, and she tiptoed downstairs.The floor lamp in the living room downstairs was turned on, and it was broken like stars. The extremely weak light reflected the corner of the sofa. It was Lu Beichen who came back. He leaned on the sofa, and a shadow fell on his tall figure.

The sudden appearance of a man startled Gu Chu.

Going downstairs and getting close to him, I could smell a lot of alcohol on him.He was still wearing the clothes she saw today, a black shirt and black suit pants, very formal, which made his face more angular.The sleeves are rolled up, eyes are closed, one arm is resting on the armrest of the sofa, and the hands of the expensive mechanical watch on the wrist are moving forward in an orderly manner.

Hearing the movement, Lu Beichen opened his eyes, Gu Chu could see clearly, there was little drunkenness in his eyes, maybe he was just a little tired just now, and closed his eyes to rest.He spoke, his voice sounded low and magnetic in the middle of the night, "Did you wake up?"
