Chapter 36
Chapter 36
Meng Jiao paused the hand that scooped up the salad.
Ah, the plot is already going to progress here.
"Cousin, that's the seat reserved by someone else, it's impolite for you to sit there without authorization." Meng Jiao responded in this way first.
"Aren't you sad?" Meng Jinyan persistently probed the last question.
Meng Jiao calmly put the salad into his mouth, chewed it slowly and said, "Didn't you already know that I am a substitute?"
Meng Jinyan said that this person just loves to act, Meng Jiao is not used to his stinky habit, so if he can mention Qin Yu in front of him, he must be an insider.
"I don't think you guys look alike." Meng Jinyan replied.
He didn't lie.
At first he thought that Meng Jiao really liked Gu Donglin, the pursuit and infatuation in the past few years could not be faked, but the smile and eagerness in the past few months were hypocrisy.
Someone at the wine table said that when Gu Donglin listened to the suggestion and signed a substitute agreement with Meng Jiao, he was secretly happy and angry at the same time.
Gu Donglin is really an out-and-out idiot.
"Don't, it still looks a bit like it." Meng Jiao retorted.
After all, this is what he eats, and he can't just smash his job.
Meng Jiao's casual attitude made Meng Jinyan put down his thoughts of probing, and he organized his words: "What about after that? Are you going to break up with him?"
Across the long table, his eyes collided with Meng Jiao's, and they looked at each other for a short and long time.
"It's hard to talk about breaking up with him. After all, we've never been together before. It's probably over after we get our salary." Meng Jiao chuckled, "Cousin, do you know? Now you look like a dog."
He looked at him desperately, as if he was manic because he couldn't eat the bones.
In order to avoid being too rampant, he added: "I didn't mean to scold you, I just thought of this metaphor suddenly."
Meng Jinyan rolled down his Adam's apple and smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Yeah, stray dog."
Even more embarrassing than a defeated dog is being homeless.
Meng Jiao looked at him peacefully, completely unable to empathize with the anxiety in his heart.
Meng Jinyan has never felt such a feeling before, he has never put too much emotion into anything.
It is exactly the same as Meng Jiao now.
But when he sees Meng Jiao, his uncontrollable heart will give birth to joy, and he will not change after repeated admonitions, but he is tortured because Meng Jiao doesn't like him.
His life is too wet, he desperately needs sunshine.
"Don't be a stray dog, the Meng family is your home." Meng Jiao replied to him.
After all, he is also the heir of the Meng family.
Meng Jinyan grabbed the smooth tablecloth in his hand: "What about Jiang Yuenian? What's the difference between me and him? Why do you treat him better than me?"
Why can Meng Jiao and Jiang Yuenian have a happy conversation without defense, and even have a more intimate move.
Like him, Jiang Yuenian lived under the same roof and put up with a disguise. Why?
"I don't know." Meng Jiao replied bluntly, even refusing to find a decent reason to comfort him perfunctorily.
The person he likes has the hardest heart in the world for him.
Meng Jinyan hated weak things, but he very much hoped that Meng Jiao would be obedient, just a little more obedient.
Meng Jiao was still as clear as a pond: "Cousin, go back."
Meng Jinyan knew what Meng Jiao meant.
Return to the relatives who are usually acquainted, the elder brother who is respectful and polite, and the younger brother who worships and respects.
Can not go back.
Meng Jinyan felt the bloody smell deep in his throat, smiled and said, "Okay."
At the corner of the airport where people come and go, no one cares, two young boys pose intimately.
Qin Yu traveled a long distance, and he was sluggish due to airsickness, leaning slightly on Gu Donglin's shoulder.
When they were so close, Gu Donglin froze first, and then slowly forced himself to relax.
"Thank you for coming to pick me up." Qin Yu whispered thanks.
Gu Donglin seemed to sigh: "Thank you for what you told me."
Qin Yu grabbed his cuff with his hand, raised his head, and said in a low voice, "I thought we would never go back."
Where are you going back?
Back to the past where he chased aimlessly and looked at Qin Yu forever?
Gu Donglin really wanted to ask, but because of Qin Yu's pale face, he was afraid that Qin Yu would be uncomfortable if he argued, so he held back and kept silent, and just looked at his watch twice.
Qin Yu came back to China temporarily and only told him today that he wanted to meet Qin Yu after having dinner with Meng Jiao, and let Qin Yu go back to his residence first, but Qin Yu called him as soon as he got off the plane, and said in a weak tone that he didn't want to bother him. , but he was really uncomfortable and couldn't hold on.
After all, it was the person he had loved in his heart for so many years, and it had become a habit to take care of him. He immediately went to the airport, but his phone died halfway, so he couldn't explain it to Meng Jiao.
Qin Yu felt his anxiety: "Is there something wrong?"
Gu Donglin paused for a moment: "I have an appointment with..."
A dark light flashed in Qin Yu's eyes.
He knew it was Meng Jiao.
Even knowing the time of Gu Donglin and Meng Jiao's invitation, he caught up with this flight.
After Chen Mu told him about Gu Donglin's recent situation last time, he asked Chen Mu to pay more attention to Gu Donglin's developments, and Chen Mu found out exactly what Gu Donglin wanted to do.
candlelight dinner.
Hearing this arrangement made him very uncomfortable, but when he found that Gu Donglin did not dare to mention Meng Jiao's name openly, it showed that he still had a chance.
"Ah? I delayed you, I'm sorry." Qin Yu covered his stomach and sighed, "I'm really sorry, please bring me another cup of hot water. I can't stand up, so I won't bother you later, you Go about your own business."
Gu Donglin frowned: "How can I abandon you if you are like this, let's rest, let's forget it over there."
Explain to Meng Jiao well, the other party should be able to understand, even if Meng Jiao has a little temper, he can accept it, after all, he was the one who was late first.
Every time he asked more questions, Qin Yu's heart became more stable.
Gu Donglin couldn't let him go, and his position in Gu Donglin's heart might have been shaken for a moment, but as long as he returned to China, he believed that the relationship between them would be able to return to a perfect state.
Half an hour later, Qin Yu lightly touched Gu Donglin's hand: "A Lin, I'm much better, let's go."
"I'll help you get your luggage first." Gu Donglin got up.
When passing by the guide desk, he borrowed a charging cable from the staff, and the first thing that popped up was a few missed calls, not from Meng Jiao, but from the manager of the restaurant.
It happened that a new call came and he picked it up.
The manager's relieved voice was very clear through the receiver: "Mr. Gu, I finally dialed your number."
"What about him?" Gu Donglin asked, for some reason he was afraid to face Meng Jiao all of a sudden.
"Mr. Meng finished dinner by himself and left." The manager thought for a while, but still didn't tell Gu Donglin what happened to Meng Jinyan halfway through. After all, Meng Jinyan only stayed for a short while.
"Oh." Gu Donglin replied.
"Then Mr. Gu." The manager asked, "What should I do with the bouquet of roses?"
Meng Jiao has already left, missed the time to send it out, and may not be able to send it out again.
Gu Donglin rubbed his fingertips, raised his eyes and saw the densely packed flight numbers on the large electronic screen, feeling at a loss as to what to do.
"Throw it away."
He said.
"A Lin?" Seeing that Gu Donglin hadn't come back for a long time, Qin Yu found him.
"Is there anything else? If not, hang up." Gu Donglin asked the manager.
"No more." The manager hung up the phone. The professionalism of the iron-blooded worker made him behave perfectly, but due to the emotions of normal people, he unconsciously curled his lips and guessed the approximate truth at the moment he hung up the phone.
Here, I ordered flowers for Mr. Meng in the restaurant, but when I disagreed, I let the pigeon go with another man.
Damn scumbag!
Gu Donglin searched to find Meng Jiao's message asking him why he hadn't come yet and the call on wx that hadn't been connected. His fingers hesitated for a long time on the typing interface, the cursor kept flickering and jumping, and he didn't know what to reply for a while.
Tell him that Qin Yu is back?
It was he who missed the appointment because of Qin Yu.
Gu Donglin usually doesn't care what other people think, but at the moment he is very entangled in a reply that he hasn't received yet.
How would Meng Jiao react?
He dare not guess.
"A Lin, let's go." Qin Yu urged.
As if he had an excuse in an instant, he put the phone back in his pocket and decided to contact Meng Jiao later.
"Let's go." He pulled the suitcase for Qin Yu, started the car and asked, "Where are you going, I'll see you off."
Qin Yu still looked weak: "I don't want to go home, and you know my house... the rental house I lived in before I left before I went abroad, so you can put me in a hotel."
Gu Donglin frowned: "Why did you come back in such a hurry?"
"I want to go back to my country after the holiday. Although I don't want to go home, there are still many things I miss in this city." When Qin Yu said this, he kept his eyes on Gu Donglin, and the implication was obvious.
But Gu Donglin focused on driving and looked ahead. Although he could feel Qin Yu's gaze out of the corner of his eye, he didn't think much about it, thinking that Qin Yu was just being polite and had to speak to people.
After all, the first lesson to learn when staying with Meng Jiao is not to be sentimental easily.
Seeing that Gu Donglin didn't respond, Qin Yu bit his lower lip.
"I may stay longer this time when I return to China, and take part in several domestic competitions in the Asian region." He shared softly.
Even if school starts, he still has to ask for leave to stay in City A until everything is back under his control.
"Okay, just tell me if you need anything." Gu Donglin's tone was as caring as always.
Gu Donglin placed Qin Yu in the best hotel under the Gu family name.
"If you need anything, you can ask them." Gu Donglin said to Qin Yu after explaining to the person in charge of the hotel.
Qin Yu nodded: "I know, I ran away from home before, and you brought me here."
When mentioning the past, Gu Donglin's expression not only softened a lot.
"I'll go first, you..."
Qin Yu interrupted him: "A Lin, come with me to the room?"
"I won't go up." Gu Donglin shook his head.
Qin Yu smiled: "But I brought you a gift, it seems indecent to open the suitcase in public."
Gu Donglin paused for a few seconds: "Okay."
The gift was an old piano score that Qin Yu spent a lot of time finding from Europe.
"Borrowing flowers to present Buddha, I remember you like Serkin's music very much."
Gu Donglin seemed to heave a long sigh of relief: "Don't do this next time, it's too much effort, it's more important to take care of yourself."
"You are important too." Qin Yu smiled sweetly.
Seemingly not knowing how to respond to such sweet words, Gu Donglin said in a flustered manner not to leave.
Qin Yu lay on the bed, humming a string of ditties casually, and picked up the phone call.
"Have you got a picture?" he asked.
Chen Mu replied to him: "Don't worry, I got the picture, do you want to send it to Meng Jiao now?"
Qin Yu turned around: "You can save some more, after all, there will be more intimacy in the future, and the accumulation may stimulate him even more."
Chen Mu was laughing: "I didn't expect Xiao Yu to be quite scheming."
Qin Yu doesn't like such negative adjectives: "It's just to help someone recognize themselves. Thank you, Xiaomu, for telling me about Donglin's itinerary."
Chen Mu rolled his eyes on the phone: "It's okay, it's a trivial matter, we are friends."
The friends with their own little thoughts hung up the phone and thought about their future.
Gu Donglin, who was mentally prepared to confess to Meng Jiao, was called to the company by his father.
The company may have a business spy of the opposite family, and his father needs him to deal with it. He is instantly caught up in endless busyness, and is unable to carry out the original plan.
In the past two days, when he worked overtime until late at night, he picked up the phone and put it down several times.
Before he was about to work overtime, he belatedly sent a message to Meng Jiao to keep him safe: [I'm fine, I've been a little busy lately, let's meet when it's over]
Meng Jiao replied: [OK]
Wait a little longer, set aside full time to find Meng Jiao after dealing with such a bad thing, when Meng Jiao loses his temper or something, he can accept it.He would order another bouquet of roses and deliver them to Meng Jiao himself as an apology.
This time it was really his fault.
With the idea of self-comfort and escape, he stayed for another night.After sitting in the company all morning, I went home to pick up the documents in the afternoon and took a short break by the way.
Every afternoon is Madam Gu's afternoon tea time. It is not surprising to see Gu Donglin in the living room. He simply nodded his head as a greeting and prepared to go upstairs.
"Stop." Mrs. Gu put down her teacup heavily.
Gu Donglin stopped in front of the steps and turned around: "What's the matter?"
A few days ago, after Gu Donglin helped Madam Gu get an oil painting from Meng Jiao, the relationship between mother and child became harmonious for a while, and he hadn't heard such a serious tone from Madam Gu for a long time.
"Qin Yu is back?" Mrs. Gu asked knowingly.
Gu Donglin instantly understood what she meant.
Mrs. Gu disliked Qin Yu very much.
When Gu Donglin fell in love with Qin Yu at first sight, Mrs. Gu didn't know Qin Yu's existence.
Until Gu Donglin's pursuit of Qin Yu was so vigorous that she also heard the news. Like many cliché plots, Mrs. Gu strongly opposed it.He could feel that when Qin Yu said he was going abroad, Mrs. Gu happily maxed out an extra credit card.
She didn't expect her to be so well-informed. Qin Yu had just returned to China, and she knew about it.
Bringing up this topic means endless seesaws and quarrels.
Gu Donglin no longer asked Mrs. Gu why she hated Qin Yu so much. Didn't she just dislike Qin Yu's poor background and wanted her son to marry someone else?
"I came back after going abroad. The first thing I did when I came back was to find you. Back then, I pretended to be so chaste and righteous in front of me, saying that I would not covet your money. Isn't that a slap in the face?" Mrs. Gu sneered.
She had a premonition that after Qin Yu returned to China, Gu Donglin would plunge into it again.How could it be possible for Qin Yu to have no means to make Gu Donglin like him so much, chasing him like a dog with a bone hanging on his back?
"A Lin, enough is enough. He can't. If you want to find him, you might as well find Meng Jiao." When Meng Jiao was mentioned, Mrs. Gu's tone was subtly paused.
She was right, although Meng Jiao was very irritating, but there was something pleasing to the eye in the irritating, it was strange, she could take a few more glances.
Whether it is "enough" or "not as good" both make Gu Donglin disgusted.
In Mrs. Gu's view, people can be commodities, choices, and everything that can be measured in value, but they are not respected as people. As long as they are not in her eyes, that person and thing will be degraded Not worth mentioning.
"Mom, why do you always have to control my thoughts without authorization." Gu Donglin's tone revealed deep fatigue.
Mrs. Gu stared at her son who looked like a stranger in front of her, and suddenly smiled and said, "A Lin, have you ever thought that the reason I can control you is because your thoughts are not firm."
Gu Donglin didn't want to argue with her anymore, so he took a deep look at her and said nothing more.
Cold violence between mother and child, both sides are very good at it.
Mrs. Gu didn't take it seriously, but felt that a long and tough battle was ahead, she drank the tea in her cup in one gulp, hesitated for a while and turned on the phone as if she had made up her mind.
……
It was in the evening when Meng Jiao received Mrs. Gu's message. When he first received it, he almost thought it was a scam text message and blocked it. In the end, Mrs. Gu couldn't hold back a phone call: "Meng Jiao! I'm not a liar! We Let's meet at a coffee shop."
Realizing that an overly bossy tone would not work in Meng Jiao's place, she adjusted her tone and added cautiously, "Okay?"
Meng Jiao raised his eyebrows and agreed.
It's a bit strange.
Gu Donglin, who was supposed to look for him, didn't come to look for him. Instead, Madam Gu went to him first. Shouldn't Madam Gu go to Qin Yu first now?
Meng Jiao made a bold guess based on the recommendations of the few TV series and novels he has read over the years:
If there is nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall, Mrs. Gu may plan to get rid of him and Qin Yu all at once!
The beauty of the world is intertwined, and there are endless ways to make money.
If this is the case, Meng Jiao must rely on his three-inch tongue to increase the amount of money sent.
When she arrived at the coffee shop on time, Mrs. Gu was already sitting there, wearing a dark green velvet dress, earrings and necklaces, she looked very luxurious, and she was in a particularly grand mood.
Meng Jiao felt that she had guessed right.
"Auntie." He walked over and sat down.
"You're here? Do you want something to drink?" Mrs. Gu asked.
One is extremely polite and the other is amiable. In the eyes of an uninformed outsider, they might think that they are a pair of juniors who have an extremely harmonious relationship.
"Thank you, Auntie." Meng Jiao ordered a glass of iced Americano.
"Drinking coffee so late? It's not good for your health if you can't sleep at night." Mrs. Gu covered her mouth and smiled.
?
Why did he think Mrs. Gu was weird.It's like being robbed.
But adhering to the possibility of fighting with Mrs. Gu, she would hate him even more and offer a higher price, he rejected Mrs. Gu's suggestion: "It's okay, auntie, I just like to drink."
But Mrs. Gu didn't show any signs of anger, she sighed softly: "Don't blame Auntie for being talkative, Auntie just cares about you."
play, right?
Meng Jiao accompanies her to act, and after drinking a cup of coffee, she fully plays a junior who goes his own way and doesn't deal with her to the fullest and penetratingly.
Finally, Mrs. Gu took a deep breath, used all her strength to force herself to smile, and said, "I'm looking for you today because I have something to do."
She took a check from her bag.
"500."
leave my son.
Meng Jiao completed it for her in her heart.
"Let Qin Yu leave my son." Mrs. Gu said.

Haha Jiaojiao, you can't think of it!
