Endless Fall - Chapter 200
Chapter 200 It’s good for everyone to take the money and leave
“It’s normal.” Su Tian opened a box of mints: “A handsome and rich man like him is hard to find with a lantern.”
But in her capacity, she couldn’t bear Xiao’s thoughts.
Gu Quan carried the gift box and led her into the car.
He remembered the attitude of his parents towards her, and he didn’t care to talk about Pei Zhi any more: “My mother is soft-hearted, you can talk to her more later.”
On the 15th, the Gu family refused to visit Su Tian on the grounds that they were ‘not at home’.
She thought the result would be the same this time. She had no hope, but she never thought they would agree.
“I know.” Su Tian fastened on his seat belt and smiled as sweetly as ever: “I will definitely perform well.”
Gu Quan stared at her smiling face, and for a moment another person flashed in his mind.
He lowered his expression and drove towards Gu’s house.
Gu’s Villa is located in the south of the Second Ring Road. The configuration of the villa area is almost the same, but there is an amusement park with a small area more than other communities, which is specially provided for the children of the residents.
bypassing the amusement park and driving forward 500 meters, a three-storey villa with light yellow as the main tone came into their eyes.
Su Tian picked up some of the gifts, took Gu Quan’s arm, and approached the door step by step.
They walked to the door of the living room, a burst of laughter came to their ears, and when they looked up, they found that there were still guests sitting on the sofa.
“Mom.” Gu Quan interrupted them.
He put the gift box on the coffee table, put his palm behind her and patted it twice: “This is a gift that Tian Tian bought for you.”
Su Tian obediently called out, “Hello, Auntie.” She showed the most perfect posture and smiling face, and she felt quite soft and harmless.
Zhang Wanlian nodded: “Sit down first.”
Her attitude was much better than the last time we met, Su Tian smiled even more, but she was preempted before she could find a topic.
“Brother Quan, do you remember me?” There were two girls sitting on the opposite sofa. The one who spoke was the same type as Su Tian, but she was much prettier than Su Tian in comparison.
Gu Quan searched for her name in his mind.
His eyes stopped on that familiar cheek, Su Tian looked at it and thought he was in a trance.
She suppressed the emotions in her eyes and leaned towards him quietly, as if to declare her sovereignty.
“Tang Manxi?” He didn’t pay attention to Su Tian’s actions, and after thinking for a long time, he finally came up with the name.
“I thought you didn’t remember it.” Tang Manxi sat up slightly, staring at him with piercing eyes.
During the summer vacation of her freshman year in high school, she came to Lin City to play for a month and stayed at Gu’s house.
During that time, they often played together, and they got along very well like brothers and sisters.
Just—
She doesn’t want to be brother and sister with him now.
“How come?” Gu Quan’s expression softened, and the indifference in his eyes also dissipated.
He took Su Tian’s outstretched hand and glanced at the little girl next to her: “This is your friend?”
“She’s my sister.” Tang Manxi pinched Tang Ni’s arm and made her look up: “Tang Ni.”
A low voice made Tang Ni’s hair stand up.
She endured the pain in her arm, raised her head to reveal her beautiful face, and forced the corners of her mouth.
Seeing that she was wearing a hearing aid on her ear, Gu Quan suppressed the doubts in his heart and returned a gentle smile.
He looked away: “Where’s my dad?”
“Call upstairs.” Zhang Wanlian looked at Tang Manxi like her own daughter: “Manxi, how long have your parents been here?”
“The third grade.”
“The two of us will have a meal then.”
“Okay.” Tang Manxi shook her hand back and set his eyes on Gu Quan: “Brother Quan, we have moved to Lincheng.”
“How long?”
“At the end of November.” She ignored Su Tian, with a hint of ambiguity in her tone: “We can meet at any time in the future.”
Zhang Wanlian put down the coffee cup: “Little Quan, you accompany your two sisters to the garden for a walk, and I’ll call you again at dinner time.”
“Okay.” Gu Quan got up slowly, before he could take a step forward, he heard her say, “Su Tian stay and talk.”
Su Tian stayed alone in the living room.
She took the lemonade handed by the nanny, and gestured generously, not like a child who grew up in a small family.
“Auntie, your skin is in such a good condition.” She closed the distance and started the topic with praise.
It’s a pity that Zhang Wanlian doesn’t eat this set.
She folded her hands on her knees: “Miss Su, how long are you going to break up with Xiaoquan?”
“What do you mean?”
“We decided to get Xiaoquan and Manxi engaged.”
A short sentence, but it sounded like a drum in Su Tian’s ear, causing her auricle to ache.
She clenched the glass tightly: “He agreed?”
“It doesn’t matter whether he agrees or not.”
“You made a decision without his permission, have you considered his feelings?”
Zhang Wanlian didn’t answer and asked: “Who do you think he will choose between Gu and you?”
“You are forcing him.”
“I forced him? Didn’t you force him?”
Su Tian was choked to the point of being speechless.
With her pale face as white as paper, she looked at Zhang Wanlian with teary eyes, and there was a deep unwillingness hidden beneath her despair.
“There are ten million in it.” Zhang Wanlian took out a bank card and put it on the coffee table: “It’s good for everyone if you take the money and leave.”
10 million is a huge sum for Su Tian now, but what she wants is not the moment.
She didn’t believe that they would let Gu Quan make a choice, so she decided to bet once: “I don’t want it.”
“Is it too little?”
“You misunderstood.” She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said stubbornly, “I won’t break up with him.”
Zhang Wanlian was not surprised.
She asked the nanny to make another pot of flower tea, opened her phone and sent a WeChat message to Gu Chengyi: “Miss Su, I hope you won’t regret it.”
“Do you hate me that much?”
“Not to mention annoying.”
Su Tian saw the figure out of the corner of his eye, and cried even more than before: “I beg you, please help us?”
Guess the cause with just one sentence.
He hurriedly walked in front of Su Tian, frowning in frustration and helplessness: “Mom, what did you tell her again?”
“You don’t know?” Zhang Wanlian’s boredom was written all over her face, and she never thought to cover it up.
She turned off the chat box and looked coldly at Su Tian, who was crying so hard, “Don’t cry, it’s annoying.”
“Right… I’m sorry.” Su Tian lowered his posture, shrank in Gu Quan’s arms and shook in fear.
Hearing her sobbing, Gu Quan’s thoughts were in a mess, and there was nothing else to do but to comfort him.
He took out a tissue to wipe Su Tian’s face, and was about to take her to the bathroom when Gu Chengyi’s voice came from upstairs again.
“Tian Tian, wait for me.” He picked up the water cup and fed her a drink, then turned around and went upstairs.
The sound of footsteps drifted away, returning to the quiet environment to amplify the ‘bang’ sound of the door closing.
Su Tian’s heart became more and more flustered, and every second of waiting became long, so long that she gave birth to the idea of running away.
And her Zuoli’s unease, and Zhang Wanlian’s leisurely self-compassion, also contrasted at this moment.
