sinovels Chapter 37
Chapter 37
"I thought Madam would let me leave?" Meng Jiao said what was in his heart.
Money is really hard to earn.
Giving money to make Meng Jiao leave his son and giving money to make Meng Jiao drive Qin Yu away are two completely different concepts.
The former, Meng Jiao, can be done as long as he packs his bags and leaves and blackmails all of Gu Donglin’s contact information, but the latter still requires a lot of mental and mental activity.
Not cost-effective.
Very uneconomical.
Mrs. Gu still had that persuasive appearance: "Silly boy, what did I ask you to leave? I don't like Qin Yu even more."
But Meng Jiao didn't answer, showing Meng Chu's signature shy smile.
Gradually, Mrs. Gu also tasted the subtext, put away her smile, and her tone was not as soft as before: "You don't want to?"
Meng Jiao shook his head, with a small face: "Auntie, this is too difficult. I know myself, how can I compare to Qin Yu?"
It also makes sense, Meng Jiao had been chasing Gu Donglin before, and it wasn't until Qin Yu went abroad that he had the chance to take the position. I'm afraid he himself knew the difference in her son's heart between the two.
"You should also know that Qin Yu has returned to China, right?" Mrs. Gu raised her legs and sighed faintly.
Meng Jiao played word games with her: "Now I know."
"Then what are you going to do?" Mrs. Gu asked.
Meng Jiao made a gesture of compromise: "Auntie, what can I do, I can only accompany silently. But since Qin Yu is back, maybe I will leave after A Lin has a word."
"Aren't you unwilling?" Mrs. Gu tapped the table lightly.
Ah, what is he unwilling to do.
But Meng Jiao followed the character design and just smiled wryly.
Mrs. Gu understood, and comforted her:
"Qin Yu is really difficult to deal with. I gave him 200 million before and asked him to leave Donglin, but he refused. But he is really scheming, knowing that after marrying into the Gu family, he can get more. Before entering the door, he wants the stars and the moon. Donglin If you are willing to give it to him, won’t it make the house restless after entering the door.”
"But you are different. You and Alin are in the same family. Auntie takes good care of you. Only a marriage with the blessing of both parents can last long."
There, she painted big cakes for Meng Jiao and guided him to enjoy the future marriage.
"Auntie, you have analyzed so much, but you also know how you can pass the risk on to me?" Meng Jiao's Adam's apple rolled, and sadness flashed on his fair face, "Are you bullying me? Mom?"
Although the person is full of vulnerability, but the voice is full of arrogance, and the people at the tables near the coffee shop heard it, exchanging glances and pointing at Mrs. Gu.
Again.
Mrs. Gu was shocked, and the fear of being dominated by Meng Jiao hit again.
???
You put your technique on Qin Yu to ensure that you will win every battle without defeat.
And at first she thought it must be ugly for a man to cry, but Meng Jiao turned his face a little bit and blinked away his tears, but it was very pretty, and it would have been even better if he hadn't faced her.
"Otherwise, why don't you go to Donglin and do this?" Mrs. Gu said in a strange way.
Since they are mother and son, I believe they must have certain aesthetics in common.
Meng Jiao insisted on carrying out the idea of love to the end: "But Dong Lin doesn't like me laughing, and he doesn't like me crying either."
Mr. Ba's speech "You don't look like him when you smile" is deafening, and now it has become Meng Jiao's excuse.
In all fairness, Mrs. Gu thought:
Is her son sick?
"Forget it, auntie, let everything take its course." Meng Jiao concluded today's meeting with one sentence.
In a word: I don't want to, you can find another master.
Knowing that this negotiation is likely to collapse, Madam Gu maintained the last bit of decency of a lady: "Xiaojiao, it's really not easy to get involved in emotional matters. Qin Yu just returned to China and your heart will be in turmoil for a while. How about it? Let's talk again when you calm down."
Only after seeing Gu Donglin's attitude towards Qin Yu, there will be a comparison. If Meng Jiao likes Gu Donglin, he will definitely join forces with her.
Sometimes, Meng Jiao would lament that these two are indeed mother and son, their self-confidence is exactly the same.
But he didn't sneer any more, as if he was immersed in the sadness of looking at himself, his long eyelashes covered the emotions in his eyes, sitting there, there was a long and gentle feeling.You have to look carefully to find out that it looks somewhat similar to Qin Yu's.
Of course, the premise is that you don't talk to her.
Madam Gu compared the scene of meeting Qin Yu with the scene of meeting Meng Jiao.
When she saw Qin Yu, she swaggered and threw out the check. Although she was rejected by the other party, she felt very happy when she saw Qin Yu's humiliated and stubborn expression!
But when she met Meng Jiao, she had to submissively act and appease the other party's emotions, and she also had to accept other people's eyes, what kind of trouble did she suffer!
She doesn't want to think about it anymore, if she thinks about it any more, she will wonder if it's right to come out to see Meng Jiao today?
Mrs. Gu picked up the small bag and said "See you next time", and ran away on her high heels.
Meng Jiao dragged her chin with her hand, and didn't have time to call her back.
The innocent check was still lying quietly on the table.
So he accepted it?Or not?
"You confiscated it in the end?" Tu Ge asked curiously after listening to Meng Jiao's narration.
"Confiscated, sent it back to her." Meng Jiao replied while sketching.
"Ah?" Tu Ge sounded very sorry, "She was delivered to you, why didn't you accept it?"
Don't want money, Meng Jiao doesn't look like that kind of fool.
"Making money is a risky investment. Don't you have to do things after receiving the money? I don't want to care about it." Meng Jiao explained patiently.
Also.
Anything that involves a triangle relationship will cause a mess if you are not careful.
Coupled with Meng Jiao's current social status, it is indeed not a good deal.
Tu Ge was a minority who knew about Gu Donglin and Meng Jiao's stand-in contract, so he paid special attention to Gu Donglin's reaction.
"How did the dog man talk to you these days?"
"I just said that he is busy and there is no follow-up."
Cold violence.
Tu Ge rolled his eyes, and asked again, "Where's Qin Yu?"
"Why did Qin Yu come to me?" Meng Jiao asked back.
Tu Ge reviewed the video and found it was correct.
The substitute agreement was not made public, and Bai Yueguang really wouldn't know about the existence of the substitute. It was because he himself knew the situation and had preconceived ideas and the discussions of the people around him made him dizzy for a while.
As soon as Qin Yu came back, several young masters around him were gossiping.After all, who doesn't know that the young master of the Gu family loves Cinderella vigorously, and he has been in love for many years.Gossip gossip gossip gossip, implicated Meng Jiao.
"Qu heard about that stupid hat, what should I do if Meng Jiao suddenly came up?" Tu Ge was about to die of anger. Abandoned, scolded by me."
Meng Jiao turned her face seriously and thanked Tu Ge for her maintenance: "Thank you."
"Why are you so formal? We are friends." Tu Ge felt embarrassed instead.
Meng Jiao laughed, showing a small row of white teeth: "We are friends, so we should respond well."
Tu Ge rolled his eyes with a smile, and muttered inaudibly: "Gu Donglin is so miserable."
Why is it miserable?
Because being Meng Jiao's friend is very good, and being a lover is also very good. Gu Donglin's behavior made him neither of them, but he enjoyed the goodness. He had a hunch that Gu Donglin would not give up so easily.
Immediately he rejected this point of view.
It's a great fortune for that doggy man Gu Donglin to know Meng Jiao, there's nothing to be pitied about.
"Everyone has their own life, just don't interfere with you." Tu Ge sighed while swiping his phone, "Hey, the TV station in City A is here."
They have a class that is not examined in the form of an exam, but is required to go to the TV station to study and finally hand in their experience.
It is equivalent to a very short-term internship.
The project that Tu Ge and Meng Jiao were assigned to was a column talk show on the TV station. The theme was about inheritance. It invited respected elders in the same field and young people with certain achievements to communicate with each other, which symbolized the communication between artists from generation to generation. .
"Why don't you invite the two of us? I think we are quite young and talented." Tu Ge joked, and immediately denied himself, "But if you invite me, new Internet celebrities and old Internet celebrities, who will admit that they are out of date Ah, there must be no inheritance at all if we gather together to tear each other up."
Meng Jiao was amused by the scene he described, smiling all over his face.
The teacher in charge of leading them was very accommodating and laughed with them. In addition, Tu Ge's self-acquaintance quickly asked the staff to allow them to wander around.
"Today I'm just familiarizing myself with the environment. The interview will start in a while. Just stand by the director's team and take a look."
"Teacher." Tu Ge was curious, "Who are today's guests? I know one is Teacher Fu Chuan, and my grandfather likes him very much."
The teacher replied: "Another pianist has just returned from abroad, his name is Qin Yu. If you are interested, you can meet with them later."
Tu Ge suddenly stopped, and turned to look at Meng Jiao behind him.
"What's wrong?" Meng Jiao raised his eyebrows with a calm expression.
"It's okay." Seeing him like that, Tu Ge felt quite at ease.
I just want to complain for a while that the world is so small, and Meng Jiao and Qin Yu have met so early.
Qin Yu also did not expect to meet Meng Jiao at this moment.
He has only seen each other in photos.
In Meng Jiao's photos, there are very few faces looking directly at the camera, chatting and laughing with people around, or being captured by others, which is enough to meet the aesthetic standard.
At that moment in the studio, he recognized Meng Jiao at first sight.
Standing there tall and casual, he was very cold when he was not talking to anyone, his fine black hair fell in front of his eyelashes, and a small mole next to him was faintly visible.
Is it like him?
If it wasn't for the wrong timing, Qin Yu would have taken a mirror to compare them carefully.
But the recording of the show will start soon, so he puts his mind away first.
He managed to get this interview. After learning about this program abroad, he asked Gu Donglin to help him get a spot.At that time, when he first went abroad, it was when Gu Donglin hated him the most. As soon as he mentioned that Gu Donglin was willing to do anything, he immediately did it.
While he couldn't help recalling proudly in his heart, he tried his best to listen and pretend to be a humble and motivated junior.
Going abroad is just gilding, and his real focus is still at home. This program may be a good opportunity.
Tu Ge's eyes in the audience were fixed on Qin Yu, and Du Wei mentally asked, "Just him?"
"Concentrate on studying." Meng Jiao patted the back of his head to remind him.
Regarding Bai Yueguang's return to China, Meng Jiao's flat reaction was never an act of faking.
The previous contract with Gu Donglin has saved enough start-up funds, and now he has almost earned enough money, and he can terminate the contract at any time.
Without Gu Donglin, the direction of their development is very different, and they can maintain peace and harmony without any conflict of interest.
"Oh." Tu Ge listened to Meng Jiao's words and obediently kept silent.
The final process of the interview required the two guests to play on the spot. After greeting the program crew, Tu Ge excitedly raised his mobile phone to record the video of Mr. Fu Chuan and sent it to his grandfather to show off after the program was broadcast.
In fact, he doesn't understand the piano very well, but he just vaguely feels that a master is a master, and his fluency and emotional involvement are indeed better than Qin Yu's.
After Qin Yu finished performing, he asked Meng Jiao:
"Does he play well?"
"It's pretty good." Meng Jiao affirmed, "It's just that there are a few wrong sounds."
This is Bai Yueguang's business of eating and dating, not much difference, after all, Qin Yu's level has passed the professional certification of the piano madman Gu Donglin and Mr. Gu, and made him fall in love.
"I want to ask what's wrong?" A voice broke into their private conversation, and suddenly made the private conversation public.
Qin Yu didn't know when he got off the stage and walked straight in front of them.
Instantly drew everyone's attention.
Meng Jiao didn't feel the embarrassment of being caught. He looked at Qin Yu calmly, and slowly put a question mark on his theory that they were safe and sound.
Very interesting.
Qin Yu didn't know Meng Jiao's mental activities, so he continued to ask, "Can you play the piano?"
Meng Jiao was very honest: "No."
A grievance appeared on Qin Yu's face at the right time: "Since you don't know how to criticize casually, it will cause great trouble to the performers. Classmate, please don't do this again next time. And I have practiced this piece for a long time, and I have already done it. Muscle memory has been formed, please don't question it casually, performers also have their own pride."
Tu Ge also reacted.
This is a white lotus in the piano world who has a tireless pursuit of art and is determined to defend his dignity to the death.
If Qin Yu didn't know Meng Jiao, he would twist his head off and let someone kick him like a ball.
The staff frowned, they didn't expect such a thing to happen, and they were ready to smooth things over.
"I can't play, but I can listen." Meng Jiao laughed, tilted his head and tapped his earlobe, looking smart and well-behaved, "You played the expansion of Master Vincent's Fifth Ballade, the right hand at the beginning The fingertip force of the skip chord is given wrong. Then in the second part, I don’t know whether you have memorized the score wrongly or accidentally distracted. You should have felt it yourself when you touched two octaves wrong, so you panicked , the technique was wrong for a few seconds and then recovered. Overall, it is still very good, and I am really sorry if my speech caused trouble to you."
Everyone was confused, but only Qin Yu knew that Meng Jiao was actually right.
He also thought that Meng Jiao belittled him in front of his friends because he was not pleasing to the eye and didn't know how to pretend to understand, so he deliberately pointed it out and gave Meng Jiao a blow.An intern and a guest, the TV station will definitely maintain the latter.
Without giving Qin Yu a chance to make up his mind about what to say, Tu Ge immediately took up the conversation, clutching his heart teasingly: "It's our fault that we communicate in private, but music should also improve through communication. Mr. Qin is really studious, we are It’s really a fate that you can hear our words and find us in such a corner.”
Teacher Fu Chuan, who noticed this, walked over slowly to comfort him: "Small mistakes are quite normal, don't quarrel, harmony makes money."
Tu Ge burst out laughing.
Come on, the master makes a final conclusion.
Meng Jiao glanced at Qin Yu indifferently, said "Come on" and left, as if he didn't take the episode just now to heart, and didn't have any special reaction to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu stayed where he was, and suddenly became dazed. He heard the director say in a deep voice to the people around him, "Edit the wrong place in the later stage", a sense of shame welled up in his heart, and his face became hot with embarrassment.
When he heard Tu Ge going away, he didn't even try to hide it, as if it was just for him: "Wow, what does he mean? He's rude and lacks quality."
I also heard Meng Jiaoqing's cold answer: "Maybe it's just lack of education."
When he received the message "Let's meet up" from Meng Jiao, Gu Donglin had just escaped from his busy projects, and his mind was not clear for a while, but the moment he saw the message, he immediately lost his mind and jumped out of bed. stand up.
Why is it so sudden, the flowers he ordered haven't arrived yet!
After taking an urgent shower and spraying on some perfume, he rushed to the reserved private room for the appointment.
A figure sitting upright was faintly reflected on the paper window of the private room. Gu Donglin took a deep breath and hesitated in front of the door for a long time, inexplicably feeling a sense of "near-native affection".
He hid from Meng Jiao like a tortoise for so many days, and he didn't see Qin Yu very much. He was buried in his work, but he didn't know how to deal with Qin Yu's return.
In the past, he certainly wouldn't be so entangled, the substitute is the substitute, and of course he would let the substitute pack up and leave without hesitation when the real master comes back, but now, his thoughts have quietly changed.
I don't know if Meng Jiao knows about Qin Yu's news.
But Meng Jiao is willing to take the initiative to send a message to find him, there should be no major problem.
After he decided to go in, he first apologized for letting Meng Jiao's pigeons go last time, and then acted according to the subsequent development.
After thinking a lot, he opened the door and sat down.
"Long time no see. It was my fault that I didn't go to dinner last time. My phone was out of battery and I didn't have time to inform you..."
"Cancel our contract." Meng Jiao interrupted him.
The air was still, but the steam rising from the tea made it seem real.
In the hazy mist, Meng Jiao's expression was so calm that he couldn't be more calm.
Gu Donglin wondered if he hadn't woken up and was still in a dream, until he panicked and subconsciously grabbed something, the scorching hot cup made the skin on his fingertips wrinkle quickly.
"What did you say?" His brain controlled him to say a meaningless rhetorical question.
"Qin Yu is back, you don't need a substitute anymore, we'll stop here." Meng Jiao repeated.
In the face of the boss who often loses his mind, it's okay for the employees to be patient. It's easy to get together and relax.
"I don't agree." Gu Donglin gradually came back to his senses, and immediately refuted, he subconsciously didn't want to end this relationship.
Meng Jiao seemed to have expected it a long time ago: "At the beginning, there was a provision in the contract that one party can terminate the contract independently."
This was actually added by Gu Donglin. He was afraid that Meng Jiao's stand-in would not be as good as he wanted to annoy him, so he gave himself a chance to repent, but he didn't expect it to fit Meng Jiao's intentions.
"What's wrong with me, I can increase the money, double, triple!" Gu Donglin's mind was running wildly, and his voice was a little hoarse in a hurry.
"Mr. Gu, let me remind you of the original intention of signing the contract. You need a substitute to sign the contract. When Qin Yu returns to China, I will be caught between you. I am not so ignorant." Meng Jiao explained, "You don't need me anymore. gone."
Gu Donglin was stunned for a while, his eyes were a little red when he raised his eyes, and he stared at Meng Jiao stubbornly: "You are lying, it is obvious that you don't need me anymore, you can get out if you earn enough money."
The other party insisted on pretending to understand, Meng Jiao really had nothing to do, and nodded mercilessly: "If you must face the truth, it is true, and one more thing, take care of your Bai Yueguang, and don't let him affect mine. Life."
Mentioning Qin Yu, Gu Donglin swallowed his saliva: "Have you met?"
It's not just a meeting, Meng Jiao also received an intimate photo of the two of them from a kind-hearted person on his mobile phone, and he didn't understand what it meant?Meng Jiao thought about it carefully, and probably wanted him to break through.
He replied friendly to the other party: [Chen Mu, promise me, remember to buy a new phone card next time you send anonymous messages, okay]
The other party didn't reply, but he should be blocked.
"Meet once." Meng Jiao replied.
Gu Donglin suddenly had a little hope: "Meng Jiao, are you forcing me to make a choice?"
Meng Jiao looked at him strangely: "Mr. Gu, why did your untimely Puxin mentality come out again?"
He stood up, he was only responsible for notifying Gu Donglin when he went out today, not as a counselor to solve emotional problems, so this is enough.
One second before going out, Gu Donglin's voice came muffled from behind him:
"Meng Jiao, do you still like me?"
Meng Jiao thought for a while: "If my previous actions have caused you this illusion, I apologize to you."
The sunlight outside the house had already reached dusk, and a transparent blister formed on Gu Donglin's burned hand, which was painful.
Meng Jiao walked for a long time before he returned home staggering as if he was drunk, fell headlong on the sofa and couldn't sleep.
Go to sleep, wake up, maybe there is a turning point.
But Gu Donglin was awakened by the heat emanating from his body. He touched his forehead and it was astonishingly hot, and his eyes were a little hard to open. The high fever gradually numb his senses, and he could not feel the pain of the previous burn.
He lay on the sofa and curled up his tall body into a ball, reached for his cell phone and called Meng Jiao.
Fortunately, it has not been blocked yet.
When the phone was connected, Meng Jiao said "Hello".
Maybe because he was too weak due to illness, Gu Donglin felt aggrieved for no reason when he heard Meng Jiao's voice: "Meng Jiao, I'm sick."
"En." Meng Jiao responded calmly.
"I'm sick!" He emphasized again. Anyway, the cold itself has a strong nasal sound, so he no longer deliberately concealed his crying, "I'll add money to you, and you take care of me."
With trembling hands, he called up the transfer page of the bank card and transferred 100 million to Meng Jiao.
Before the call was hung up, he seemed to gain confidence: "Did you see the money? Please come and see me."
There was only a light breathing sound on the other side, and hung up after a few seconds.
Gu Donglin stared blankly at the page of the phone, until the call interface disappeared and returned to the main interface of the phone, he was in a daze.
Will Meng Jiao come to see him?
Should be?
Will it happen?
These few questions were rolling in his mind, tossing and turning, feeling like his headache was about to burst.
When his consciousness was about to fall into a deep sleep, he seemed to hear a series of whistles and knocks on the door. He quickly got up from the sofa and opened the door happily.
A few white coats were at the door: "Hello, this is Mr. Gu, a Mr. Meng said that you need an ambulance to go to the hospital."
In a daze, Gu Donglin was forced into an ambulance and dragged to the hospital.
He didn't see Meng Jiao until he was put on the drip and fell asleep in a daze.
Only one text message from Meng Jiao left a message: [Go to the hospital for treatment if you are sick, the ambulance and medical expenses have been paid for, and the money will be deducted from the money you transferred. I wish you a speedy recovery]
The medical expenses were 100 yuan, he transferred 99 million yuan to Meng Jiao, and Meng Jiao made a net profit of [-] yuan.
Gu Donglin cried in bewilderment.
