Charming Beauty - C177

That day, the Brother Chen I saw that day really made my heart ache. The lonely figure that he left behind, my attitude towards him, everything that he had caused me to feel a little heartache just thinking about it.

But I had to do this, because Guan Muyun was unwilling to help because of me, the company of Brother Chen is currently just hanging on by a thread, if I do not get help in time, I do not know what Brother Chen will turn out to be like, but for me, even if I am extremely worried, there is nothing I can do, I can only sit here and worry and wait for news everyday.

There were many times that I had sent messages to Brother Chen to console him, telling him not to be too tired, but I knew, how could I not be worried? Things have already happened, and the only thing Brother Chen could do now was to find someone who was willing to help him out.

However, his mother had used my life to stop him from finding someone to complain to when the company was in danger. His mother had hoped that he would be able to devote his entire body and soul to saving the company, and not have a free time with a “mortal” woman during this time of crisis.

In other words, it turned out that there were many times in my life when I was under someone else’s control. If someone else wanted me dead, I had no chance to resist at all, and if someone else wanted me alive, even I couldn’t decide whether I lived or died.

I want to help Brother Chen very much, but I don’t know how to help him. What his mother said is right, I am just a mortal woman with no strength, no connections, and almost no friends, the only things I know are those things I want to forget but cannot forget, I don’t want to remember, but I use reality to deepen them. I want to escape, but the deeper I sink, the more uncontrollable I can’t suppress.

But there’s no answer. I don’t want to remember that once upon a time, when I had the devilish Brother Chen, I once again couldn’t help but reminisce about it and worry about the current Brother Chen.

I decided to visit Brother Chen tomorrow. The only thing I could give him was comfort.

When I arrived at the Brother Chen gate, his house had already lost its previous extravagance. Before, there were always seven or eight bodyguards at the gate, but now, there were only two left. I silently sighed at the reality of this world, and inwardly sighed that money can always force people into a path of no return.

I stood at the door hesitating for a long time, but in the end, I pressed the doorbell, but no one replied, what I received was only the threat and expulsion from the two bodyguards. I knew that this was something written by Brother Chen’s mother, and in order to prevent Brother Chen from meeting with me, she would always think of all sorts of reasons.

Right now, Guan Muyun seems to be the only person who can save Brother Chen within my knowledge. No matter what, I want to try my luck.

I stood nervously in front of Guan Muyun’s door, not knowing what I should say when Guan Muyun comes out, or how to explain my reason for coming, so I delayed trying to ring the doorbell. I saw the bodyguard beside me lower his head and say that he was probably delivering a letter to Guan Muyun.

Sure enough, not long later, Guan Muyun walked out from his house. He did not feel suspicious about my arrival.

“Come in and take a seat.”

He looked at me with a deep gaze that made me unable to understand him. In fact, it was very normal for people like them who had experienced so much and spent most of their lives in the mall trying to scam me. There weren’t many people who were able to see through me.

I followed him into his house. I sat on the sofa, feeling as if I were sitting on pins and needles. I couldn’t sit still.

“About that, I heard that you’ve recently accepted a big business deal?”

I didn’t know how to get him to help Brother Chen, so I was at a loss for words. I could only randomly look for a topic to talk about, not daring to get straight to the point.

“Yeah, it’s not that big. I just took a plot of land.”

Guan Muyun sat beside me. He had his head lowered as he brewed tea, and didn’t look at me when he was speaking. From my point of view, Guan Muyun was actually a very interesting person as well.

He was very good at making tea, and the teapot in his hand went back and forth between the teacups. I looked at him and almost forgot my purpose for a moment.

“How could that be? A plot of land is not a small project, what are you planning on using it for?”

“Actually, I feel that the location of the land is not bad. I don’t know what to do with it yet. Come, try it.”

Guan Muyun brought the tea that he brewed in front of me, and then drank it all by himself. He looked at me, and jokingly discussed the uses of the land with me, he stood up and cleaned up the tea that was spilled during the brewing, I knew that if we continued talking like this, I would still not be able to explain my purpose, but I simply could not open my mouth.

“Very good, thank you.”

The fragrance of the tea carried along with it a faint fragrance of the flowers. Tasting it until it finally seemed to have some sweetness, like the sprout of a spring branch, or the feeling of first love, from the beginning to the last sweetness, it was as if I had experienced youth once again. The experiences of those lovers, from my secret love to my secret love, were expressed here, but as I drank it, I became more and more bitter. The youth of others is used for remembering, my youth is used for tormenting oneself.

“You’re here about Aachen, aren’t you?”

He continued to clean up. In such a big house, there was not a single servant. Everything was done by himself. The cloth in his hand didn’t seem like it belonged to a merchant at all.

“I …”

I didn’t know how to reply after being poked in the center. I hoped that Guan Muyun would lend a helping hand, but I didn’t know how to convince him.

“I can help him, but I have a request.”

He placed both hands on the table and leaned forward, but in front of me, I instinctively moved back a little, hoping to stay away from Guan Muyun. I was at a loss as to how to proceed from our current position.

“Wha, what request?”

When Guan Muyun said that he had a request, I had an ominous premonition. I don’t know what request he had, but I was shocked by this unknown request.

“Stay with me.”

He moved closer, and I pushed past him, fleeing from his house. My heart ached, and I held it with one hand and rubbed it hard. I don’t know what to do, but if I agree, then I will have no choice but to remember all those things from before, but if I don’t agree, what would be the consequences? I don’t even dare to think, Brother Chen really needs help right now, if I were to delay it, I don’t know what the consequences would be.
