Chapter 86 Long-lost concern
"I have something to do today and I don't have time to participate." Su Nianxi's voice was cold and hard, and her face was also cold.
"Xiaoxi, just attend this banquet. Just treat it as selling your aunt for a favor, okay?" Meng Lan's voice was filled with a humble plea.
She knew very well in her heart that Su Nianxi said she had something to do just to shirk the banquet.
Su Nianxi did not answer, and maintained her cold attitude just now. She was obviously keeping people thousands of miles away.
Meng Lan half-sitted on the bed, and was half-supported by her other hand to sit by the bed. Although she had no mental problems, her physical condition was obviously getting worse and worse.
She raised her eyes and looked straight at Su Nianxi. She repeated the words just now, but this time the voice was weaker, "Xiaoxi, just give your aunt a face."
...No response.
Su Nianxi just looked at Meng Lan indifferently.
She felt that Meng Lan was much haggard, and her moist lips were not blood-colored at all. Her thin face was pale, which made people feel distressed.
She thought to herself that when she left later, she would advise Aunt Liu to stew more soup for her aunt. Her current physical condition really doesn't look good.
But Meng Lan's next words caught her off guard.
"Anyway, aunt won't live long."
When Su Nianxi heard this, the barely maintained indifference on her face became a little loosened. She raised her eyelids and looked at Meng Lan heavily.
I won't live long...?
After Meng Lan said this, she stopped looking at Su Nianxi. Her eyes extended out the window, and the emotions in her eyes were very complicated.
Su Nianxi can't understand.
But she didn't ask, because she couldn't tell whether Meng Lan was telling another lie. Raskingly speaking would only make her barely maintain apathy.
Meng Lan's tone was quiet, "I am an old guy who lives on medicine every day, and no one talks with me... I know my own body very well, and there are not many days left."
"I just want to make the Gu family feel good before I die."
Su Nianxi spoke, "When Lin Nian'er comes, she will make the Gu family feel good and will talk to you."
Meng Lan shook her head, her tone was full of disappointment, and she heard her careful attention, "I won't let Lin Nian'er marry into the Gu family."
"Lin Nian'er married into the Gu family, and the aunt will only feel more uncomfortable and her health will be worse. Xiaoxi, I think you know all this. Do you have the heart to watch the aunt break down because of Lin Nian'er?"
Su Nianxi pursed her lips.
She had this concern in her heart than Meng Lan. She had long known what it would be like to marry into the Gu family.
But she did everything she could and said everything she could. She reminded Gu Jingxing many times of Lin Nian'er's true face, but the light of the white moonlight had completely covered all of Lin Nian'er's shortcomings.
Gu Jingxing couldn't see it, he couldn't see it at all. He even pretended to be invisible when he saw it.
Gu Jingxing wanted to marry Lin Nian'er and join the Gu family. Can she stop her? Can she stop her... Su Nianxi looked down at Meng Lan, who looked haggard, and her heart was mixed.
Meng Lan pulled out her hand that was holding her body, and she was trembling and wanted to get out of the bed.
Su Nianxi subconsciously wanted to reach out and hold Meng Lan. As soon as her hand was stretched out, she reacted to her movements. She silently withdrew her hand back and clenched her fingers to the side.
Meng Lan stood up, she grabbed Su Nianxi's hand, "Xiaoxi, Auntie Begs you."
She decided to let go before and followed Xiaoxi in everything. Xiaoxi was willing to divorce, but Jingxing had no luck with having such a good wife; Xiaoxi was unwilling to have any involvement with Gu's family anymore, so she refused to see Xiaoxi, and tried not to contact Xiaoxi and not disturb Xiaoxi's life.
But she figured it out now.
Xiaoxi clearly had Jingxing in her heart. It was Lin Nian'er's arrival that made Xiaoxi fall into such an embarrassing situation. She couldn't watch Lin Nian'er occupy the magpie's nest and rob Xiaoxi's position!
Xiaoxi is kind-hearted and unwilling to take the initiative, so she will take the initiative.
"You can attend grandpa's 70th birthday, so that our Gu family can maintain decent status. You said, the young lady of Gu family did not attend on Grandpa Gu's birthday, what would others think..." Meng Lan begged with her eyes, and she would even kneel in front of her the next second.
Su Nianxi frowned. She looked at Meng Lan who was begging and was about to kneel down. Her heart was squeezing and finally let go, "I'll participate, I'll participate, you can sit down."
Meng Lan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Xiaoxi, are you really willing to participate?"
Su Nianxi deliberately put a stern face, "Well, I won't participate."
"Okay, no, we Xiaoxi is going to participate." Meng Lan's smile even more, and her haggard face seemed to improve a little.
"Aunt Liu, hurry up and give Xiaoxi some food!"
"I think about it, Xiaoxi, you didn't bring a dress. What are you wearing tonight?" Meng Lan restrained her expression and thought seriously, "I'm calling someone to send it to you now!"
Su Nianxi shook her head, "No need, I'll just send it to you."
"How come you send it to me? You, a little girl, are not easy to live. How can you spend money on a dress?"
Meng Lan seemed to suddenly remember, "Did Jingxing send you money? Is your money enough to spend? Do you have a good meal on weekdays?"
She stroked Su Nianxi's hair, "Why do you feel like you have lost weight again? You didn't eat well when you were in the Gu family. Have you not eaten well recently? Or are you in a bad mood?"
"If you are in a bad mood, you will easily sleep poorly. Did you sleep well yesterday..." Meng Lan said earnestly, and every word fell into Su Nianxi's heart.
Su Nianxi's mood was very complicated at this moment. She hadn't heard others' concern for a long time. Meng Lan's words made her feel the long-lost warmth, and her eyelashes trembled.
Su Nianxi turned her head away and did not dare to look at Meng Lan's concerned eyes...
In the evening, I looked at my house.
Because Mr. Gu likes antique flavor, while Meng Lan likes a more masculine, elegant and modern style. Therefore, Gu's house has both masculine and smoky and willow colors, and the combination of the two is perfect.
The corridor courtyard of Baishitaiji shows the world, and the willow colors of the smoky turkey show the elegance.
Guests of all kinds traveled back and forth between the banquet halls.
"The Gu family is the Gu family. This banquet is so grand! This is the first time I have seen such a big house. If I don't know about the courtyard outside, I think it was ancient!"
"This is Mr. Gu's 70th birthday. Can you not do it grandly? You don't even look at the Gu family's status in Haicheng!" The man next to him looked at the person who had just spoken like an idiot.
After he finished speaking, he picked up a glass of wine from the table, "This is the most luxurious banquet Haicheng has ever held in many years."
...
Outside the door, Lin Nian'er got out of the car with an elegant skirt. Her hand was lightly placed on Gu Jingxing's arm, and her expression was filled with unconcealed excitement.
This time it was an opportunity she finally got, and she would definitely seize it!
Gu Jingxing stood aside, his behavior was noble and his actions naturally revealed his nobleness from a high school.
His arm was held by Lin Nian'er, and the two walked side by side into the hall. When they were about to walk in, Gu Jingxing slowly stopped and stopped at the entrance of the hall.
His expression was very complicated and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Brother Jingxing, aren't we going in?" Lin Nian'er found that Gu Jingxing's expression was a little wrong.
Gu Jingxing came back to his senses, lowered his head and replied, "Get in."
He just thought of promising his grandfather before.
Promise at the expense of President Gu.
But he had already given Su Nianxi a chance, which she didn't want to come... What else could he do?
And she also had sex behind her back, so how could she be suitable for her grandfather’s banquet?
