Chapter 108
Gu Mian chose to visit Zhang Suqin on the weekend.They do sales, in fact, it doesn't matter whether it's a weekend or not.The reason why she chose the weekend was because she thought that Mu Jin might be at home.
Gu Mian's heart was beating fast all the way as she bought large and small packages of health care products and prepared them. T County has also changed a lot, but after all, it is a place where I have lived for more than ten years, so Gu Mian can still tell the approximate location.
When the car turned into Yangliu Town, Gu Mian's heart was almost in her throat. For a moment, she even wanted the driver to turn around.But she still didn't say the words after all, she just closed her eyes and leaned on the cushion to take a deep breath.
Xiaojia Village is building roads, and cars cannot enter the village when they reach the entrance.Gu Mian got out of the car ahead of time, and walked forward carrying the big and small bags.
I ran into a former neighbor on the road, pointed at Gu Mian and asked in surprise, "You are the girl from Zhenhui's family, right? Your name is... Gu Mian, right?"
Gu Mian felt that the person in front of her looked familiar, but she couldn't remember her name no matter what.She smiled and nodded to admit her identity, and politely called "Hello, Auntie".
"Oh, what a girl's eighteenth change, I almost didn't recognize you." The man's tone was warm, and he pulled Gu Mian to chat, "Where do you work now? Have you got a date?"
Gu Mian couldn't bear the enthusiasm of asking "salary and object" as soon as she opened her mouth, and said vaguely, "No, I'll come back to see Grandma Zhang."
"Yes, I remember that your family has a very good relationship with Aunt Zhang's." The man smacked his lips and said with some distaste, "Aunt Zhang's life is really good. She picked up a grandson halfway, and now she has another granddaughter."
Gu Mian heard that there was something in her words, and she didn't want to delve into what she meant, so she said "I'll go first" and left.
When the door of the house appeared before Gu Mian's eyes, Gu Mian could hardly move her feet.
Her house is still the same as it was six years ago, except that it is a little older, nothing else is different.
The house looked like someone was cleaning it, and it didn't look like it hadn't been lived in for six years.
The gate of the courtyard of Zhang Suqin's house next door was open, and there was laughter coming from inside.Gu Mian stood outside the door, not knowing how to get in for a while.
"Da da da--"
A yellow ping pong ball jumped out of the yard, and Gululu rolled to Gu Mian's feet.She bent down to pick up the ping pong ball, and then heard footsteps approaching from the yard.
Gu Mian was stiff all over, holding her breath and waiting for the people in the yard to come out.She even put up a smiling face in advance, so as not to make a suitable expression when the time comes.
A man came out of the yard. Although he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes and had matured a lot, Gu Mian recognized him at a glance—Tao Jin.
Tao Jin didn't seem to recognize Gu Mian, looked at her suspiciously, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
The appearance of Tao Jin shattered Gu Mian's hard-earned courage. She handed him the ping pong ball in her hand and said in a panic, "I... I didn't look for anyone, I just passed by."
Tao Jin stared at Gu Mian, and suddenly asked, "Are you Gu Mian?"
Gu Mian wanted to deny it, but felt that it was too ostentatious and embarrassing.She tried her best to straighten her back, trying to be generous and decent: "Yes, I am."
Tao Jin muttered something, turned around and shouted to the yard: "Grandma, Xiao Jin, Gu Mian is back."
There was a panic in the yard, and after a while, Zhang Suqin appeared at the door with staggering steps.
Seeing Gu Mian, she became emotional, walked up to Gu Mian in a few steps, and hugged her: "Mianmian, it's really Mianmian."
Hearing Zhang Suqin's choked voice, Gu Mian's emotions were also infected.She hugged Zhang Suqin's thin body back, her eyes were also wet: "Grandma..."
Tao Jin picked up Gu Mian's health care and nutrition products that were on the ground, and kindly reminded him, "It's cold outside, let's go in and talk about it."
Gu Mian helped Zhang Suqin to walk into the house, when she stepped into the door, she met Mu Jin who was standing coldly at the door.
Gu Mian's heart that had just warmed up instantly turned cold, she was a little shy about "coming uninvited", and from the corner of her eye she saw Tao Jin walking in front again, and called out "Xiao Jin" in a complicated mood.
Mu Jin ignored her, picked up the toddler and turned into the house.
Sitting down on the sofa in the living room, Zhang Suqin took Gu Mian's hand and asked impatiently: "Mianmian, where have you been all these years? You said you were going to play with your father for a while, why didn't you hear about it later? We're all going to die."
Six years ago, when Gu Mian heard that Mu Jin agreed to accept Tao Jin, she made up her mind to leave.What she told Mu Jin and Zhang Suqin was that Gu Zeyang asked her to go to City A for a while, and she also wanted to walk around to relax.
After leaving City C, Gu Mian did go to City A. She was in a hurry, and she had no other place to go except Gu Zeyang.
When she first arrived in City A, Gu Mian still kept in touch with Mu Jin from time to time—although she wanted to keep in touch with Mu Jin 24 hours a day, but in order to pave the way for her departure, she had to control it.
Later, when Mu Jin's college entrance examination results came out, Gu Mian knew that she had performed well, so she sent her a text message to congratulate her.
It took Mu Jin a long time to reply with two words: "Thank you".The response was lukewarm.
During the past few days when Gu Mian was in City A, Mu Jin's attitude had been relatively indifferent. Gu Mian thought it was a signal to break up from Mu Jin, and silently accepted it.
She always wanted to wait until Mu Jin's college entrance examination results came out before making a decision. Now that she knew that Mu Jin did well in the exam, she finally made up her mind to break away from Mu Jin's world.
Gu Mian sent Mu Jin a sentence, "I know my existence has troubled you, I'm sorry, I hope you will be happy in the future."Afterwards, she threw away her mobile phone card and cut off contact with Mu Jin.
This break is six years.
But Gu Mian didn't know how to tell Zhang Suqin about all this. After all, the relationship between her and Mu Jin was still a "friend" to Zhang Suqin, and it could only be a "friend".
Facing Zhang Suqin's questioning gaze, Gu Mian was vague: "I encountered some things over there... I don't know what to say. Anyway, it's my fault for not being in touch after leaving for so long. I made you worry."
Zhang Suqin didn't ask what happened to Gu Mian, but only asked her: "Have those things been resolved now?"
Gu Mian nodded: "It's basically solved."
Zhang Suqin said repeatedly: "It's fine if it's resolved, it's fine if it's resolved. By the way, are you coming back this time and won't leave?"
Gu Mian replied: "It's still hard to tell. I'm working in City C now, and it depends on how the company arranges it later."
Zhang Suqin persuaded her: "Let's stay in City C. City C is so good. It has a good development prospect and is close to home."
Gu Mian just smiled and didn't speak.
Tao Jin brought up the brewed tea, Zhang Suqin pointed to Tao Jin, and asked Gu Mian: "By the way, Mianmian, this is Ah Jin, do you remember?"
Gu Mian looked at Tao Jin, who was more attractive than in junior high school, and said with a smile, "I remember."
Of course she remembered this person, and she probably would never forget this person for the rest of her life.
Zhang Suqin murmured: "It's also a drama. The first time I saw Ah Jin, I felt like a good match, and I even mistakenly recognized him as my grandson. Who knew, he turned out to be my own grandson."
Gu Mian didn't understand what Zhang Suqin meant: "My grandson?"
Zhang Suqin nodded: "Yes."
Gu Mian was dumbfounded: "But grandma, don't you only have Uncle Mu as a son? Uncle Mu also only has Xiaojin as a child?"
"Your Uncle Mu's mind is not clear, he did something wrong back then... hey..." After all, it was a disgraceful thing, Zhang Suqin didn't explain it too clearly, and just stopped.
Gu Mian was shocked by this fact. She had made so many assumptions, but she never thought that Tao Jin would be Mu Jin's half-brother!
This means that Mu Jin and Tao Jin are not married, and the child does not belong to them.
But at the same time, it also shows that all these years of jealousy have been in vain, and the six years when she broke away and left have become a farce.
For a moment, Gu Mian didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.
Zhang Suqin looked sad, obviously still immersed in the past.Gu Mian couldn't care about her feelings anymore, and patted her on the back to comfort her: "Grandma, these things are over, let's not think about it anymore. Look now, you have a caring granddaughter, and you have another caring granddaughter." Grandson, isn't this a good thing?"
"You're wrong, I have two caring granddaughters." Zhang Suqin corrected, holding Gu Mian's hand.After she finished speaking, she sighed again when she remembered those things in the past: "I got a big advantage, but I just wronged Xiaojin."
Thinking of Mu Jin, Gu Mian felt a little heavy: "Grandma, how has Xiao Jin been doing all these years?"
"You have to ask Xiao Jin yourself. Her child is very preoccupied. Even if her life is not good, she won't let me find out." Zhang Suqin looked into Gu Mian's eyes and said suddenly, "Mianmian, do you blame grandma?"
Gu Mian didn't know what to say, "What?"
"Grandma was old and stubborn and couldn't accept new things, which caused a misunderstanding between you and Xiaojin. Do you blame grandma?"
The direction of Zhang Suqin's words is obvious. Gu Mian did not expect that she would take the initiative to bring up this topic. She was shocked and at the same time felt distressed: "Of course not. I was not good back then. I did something wrong..."
Zhang Suqin interrupted Gu Mian: "Don't say that, it's not wrong, it's human nature. Grandma has figured it out now, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, as long as you are happy, nothing else matters."
Gu Mian did not expect Zhang Suqin to say these words: "Grandma..."
Zhang Suqin said with a smile: "Xiao Jin will be upstairs, you can go to her. You have been separated for so many years, you must have a lot to talk about."
The layout of the second floor of Zhang Suqin's house has changed a lot. The walls have been repainted, the floor has been re-paved, and the furniture has been replaced with new ones.
The room next door to Mu Jin, which used to be a "study", has now been converted into a bedroom for a "family of three".
The only thing that hasn't changed here is Mu Jin's room.
The child was probably carried away by Tao Jin, and she was the only one in Mu Jin's room at this time.
Gu Mian stood outside Mu Jin's room door, the distance between the two was only a few meters, but she felt as if they were separated by a galaxy.
She just stood there without making a sound or moving, until Mu Jin suddenly looked up at her.
Meeting Mu Jin's eyes, Gu Mian naturally couldn't pretend "doesn't exist".She pointed to the downstairs, and said, "Grandma asked me to come up and chat with you."
Mu Jin withdrew her gaze and said indifferently, "We have nothing to talk about."
Gu Mian knew that Mu Jin was still angry, and also knew that she was wrong.She walked in a few steps, took Mu Jin's hand and called out "Little Jin" pitifully.
Mu Jin shook off Gu Mian's hand, and said coldly, "Don't touch me."
Gu Mian knew that Mu Jin's anger would not be calmed down for a while, so she continued to pretend to be pitiful: "Xiao Jin, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left like that six years ago. I know I was wrong, you can beat me and scold me, don't ignore me Am I okay?"
Mu Jin sneered: "Why should I beat you and scold you? You are right, you did the right thing. I don't know how good life is after you left, so why are you coming back?"
Gu Mian felt a stabbing pain in her heart, she stopped pretending to be pitiful, and said sincerely: "Because I miss you, I have been thinking of you all the time for the past six years."
Mu Jin's heart surged, her lips trembled slightly.She closed her eyes and tried hard to suppress her emotions, but she failed in the end: "Since you miss me, why don't you come back to see me? Don't you even have a free day in six years? You are a liar, a big liar What you said is all false, you don't miss me at all, and you don't love me at all!"
As soon as Mu Jin had an attack, Gu Mian's mood was completely messed up.She pulled Mu Jin and expressed her feelings incoherently: "No, I don't. I love you, and the person I love the most in this world is you."
"Since you love me, why did you leave in the first place?"
Gu Mian murmured: "Back then, grandma got angry because of our affairs. I didn't want you to be between me and her, so she left..."
"You also know this is 'our business', so why didn't you discuss it with me before you left?" Mu Jin approached aggressively, "Gu Mian, do you think you are great? 'The beauty of a gentleman', you sacrificed My own happiness fulfills me, how great it is.”
Gu Mian retorted softly: "I didn't."
Mu Jin was immersed in her own emotions, and didn't hear her rebuttal at all: "But you have become a gentleman, have you ever thought about me? Do you know what life I have been living after you left? Every minute and every second is suffering! I am afraid that something will happen to you, that you will be cold and hungry, and that you will never come back. I am afraid every day, and I will not have a peaceful day."
"I went to the police station to call the police, and the police checked for a long time and told me that you were indeed at your father's place and that you were very safe; I took a train for more than ten hours to your father's place, but your father said that you had left and did not leave any contact information. I thought you had to come back to study in college, I was waiting to meet you when the semester started. But after the semester started, I searched all the colleges and majors of C University, and there was no one named Gu Mian!"
"You disappeared so completely that I began to wonder if you really existed. Maybe you were just my imagination? Maybe there is no one named Gu Mian in this world."
"I brainwash myself like this every day. Now, I finally accept the fact that you left, but you suddenly appeared again. You said you were wrong, and you should not have left back then. But if you were wrong, I will Forgive you? This is my world, why do you leave when you want to leave, and come back when you want to come back?!"
Mu Jin didn't cry, but in every word she said, Gu Mian could hear the sound of crying.She hugged Mu Jin, who was out of control, and felt that any words were pale.
I'm sorry, but I know I'm a heinous sinner.
I accept how you punish me, but I will never leave you again.
