Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen Xu Zhen

I looked at Xu Zhen's face with a little fascination.When I was young, I thought that if I could choose my own appearance, I would definitely not have a dumpling face in my next life, but a more beautiful appearance—yes, just like her appearance, with picturesque eyebrows and a face that is completely radiant. flawless. It was ten o'clock in the morning when we arrived at the hotel, and it was not too late. There were very few people in the bright and luxurious western restaurant, and only a few guests from the hotel sat here and there. I turned on my laptop to send and receive e-mails and read the news while waiting for An Lu to come.Sure enough, she was late in twenty minutes.She was wearing a long-sleeved short skirt, with light makeup on her face, and she looked glamorous.

She sat down in front of me, and the manager of the western restaurant came over and politely asked her what she needed, and then the waiter brought breakfast. An Lu took a sip of milk, smiled at me, showing her neat and white teeth, "Do you want something?" I shook my head and said politely, "Sister An Lu, no need, I came to see you after breakfast." "Have you eaten?" She was no longer tired from the day before, and she was very energetic. "Since you are here, let's have a cup of coffee." "Oh, that's fine," I agreed, finding myself completely incapable of talking to her, whether she was drunk or sober, "thanks."

"I was sleeping when you called, but you woke me up." An Lu rubbed her temples, "You said I left something at your house?" I handed over the necklace, "Sister An Lu, you left this necklace when you lived in my house." "Necklace?" She picked up the necklace and looked at it, then nodded and smiled again, "It's nothing important, please send it to me, in fact, just throw it away." Such a beautiful and valuable necklace, she said just throw it away?I looked at her awkwardly. "It used to be very important, but it's not important now, so it doesn't matter if you lose it." An Lu shrugged, with a look of "I think about it very much".

"Sister An Lu, there is one more thing. I don't think I'm afraid of dogs anymore, so I plan to take Harry back..." An Lu looked at me, "Really?" "I've seen a psychiatrist a few times, and it seems to be working pretty well," I said. "You can think of seeing a psychiatrist." An Lu looked at me and smiled emotionally. "It's really considerate. Shen Qinyan really saw the right person." "Harry has been with Shen Qinyan for so many years, and he has a lot of affection. I always feel uneasy because of me sending him away." I said honestly.

"Does Shen Qinyan know that you came to see me today?" "I don't know, I plan to surprise him." "The idea is good, but," An Lu paused, "you may not be able to take it back now." I looked at her in bewilderment, "Huh?" "Look, I'm staying at the hotel, I haven't been back to the apartment for a while. And Harry, in my apartment." I finally know what the subtle incongruity has been permeating since I called her yesterday—yes, although Ann is a hotel industry tycoon, she shouldn't be staying in a hotel.Apparently, the hotel does not allow dogs.

She said to me: "Wait a few more days. I'll wait for her to find a house and move out before going home. Then I will inform you to pick up Harry." "She wants... to move away?" "Since we broke up, as compensation, it's okay to leave that apartment to her," An Lu lowered her eyelids, drinking milk calmly, "but that apartment is my grandfather's legacy to me, and I can't just give it to her." people. I gave her a sum of money and told her to find another place to live." "You guys really broke up?" Her face was calm, as if the drunken gaffe two days ago had never happened.

"I'm tired, I don't have the energy to seek the truth, and I don't want to redeem it. That's it." I was stunned, has she already figured it out?How did you figure it out?She seemed to be in a good mood, she tapped my forehead with her finger, and joked with me with a smile on her face, "Why do you look more lost than me?" "I don't know either," I said blankly, "I just think...it's too easy to give up." She laughed, "What a silly child." She looked down at her watch, her gaze passed behind me, and she suddenly smiled, "The person I was waiting for is here." She got up from her seat and nodded towards the door.

I followed her gaze back and saw someone walking into the restaurant. It was a very beautiful woman, elegantly dressed, with a soft expression, and she looked familiar.I racked my brains for a while, and suddenly remembered the charity dinner.That's right, she was the woman who greeted Shen Qinyan cordially, and then searched for Lin Yue all over the world. She walked over to our table and came over to me.An Lu laughed and opened the seat for her, "Senior sister, you are here." "Xiaolu," the visitor smiled wearily, "I'm really sorry to make you wait for me every time."

"Senior, your sense of time is still as strong," An Lu laughed. "If you are late by two minutes, it is considered late, so do other people in the world still have to live?" Since An Lu still had arrangements, I stood up with my head down, and went to get my big bag to leave, but An Lu held my shoulder with one hand. "Not busy, just sit down. Why are you being polite?" The young woman noticed me and gave me a nod and a smile.Her face was a little pale, and she was faintly tired, but her eyes were very beautiful, and her smiling face was so charming that no matter who she was, she would be tempted.

An Lu smiled and said, "Let me introduce to you two. This is my senior sister, Xu Zhen. This is Du Li," she paused subtly, "Shen Qinyan's girlfriend." She was startled for a second, then held my hand affectionately and smiled at me, "Ah, Du Li, it's you. I've heard about you before, and I'm still wondering if I can be here I saw you before I went back, but I didn't expect to see you today. Du Li, hello." I blushed and quickly said, "Miss Xu, hello." She smiled, "No one has called me 'Miss Xu' for many years." I pursed my lips, "What's your name?"

"Just call me Xu Zhen." No matter how old or young I am, I can't call her by her name directly, you can tell by the way An Lu treats her with respect. "Sister Xu Zhen," I said, "Since you and Sister An Lu have something to talk about, then I won't bother you, and I'll go first." Xu Zhen laughed with a good temper, "It's okay, it's not an outsider. It's me instead. Did I bother you?" "No," I said quickly, "I have something to do with Sister An Lu, and it has been resolved now." "Then sit a little longer." "okay." I looked at Xu Zhen's face with a little fascination.When I was young, I thought that if I could choose my own appearance, I would definitely not have a dumpling face in my next life, but a more beautiful appearance—yes, just like her appearance, with picturesque eyebrows and a face that is completely radiant. flawless.I think these friends of Shen Qinyan are all so outstanding, no matter in appearance or attitude. Then she chatted with An Lu, talking about work, life, and interesting things back then.I got some key information from their conversations: for example, they used to be alumni, had known each other for at least ten years, knew each other's family and other information very well, and their relationship was extraordinary. The waiter brought coffee and tea, An Lu poured the coffee for Xu Zhen, and skillfully added sugar and milk, "Senior sister, I should have brought Xiaozhu, I haven't seen my goddaughter for a long time, it's weird her." "Going out with her father." I am very familiar with the expression on her face, it is the expression that I often see on my mother's face combined with helplessness and doting on her children. "Where are the twins?" "I was picked up by my mother early in the morning," Xu Zhen took a sip of coffee, "otherwise I wouldn't have time to come out to see you." "Having children is really troublesome," An Lu smiled and sighed, "Senior, you have been back to China for a while, and I haven't met you a few times. Senior, you should leave your family and walk outside more. It's a big world out there." Xu Zhen just laughed, and said after a long while: "Last night I calmed down and watched your latest show, it was very well done and very exciting. When you hosted entertainment shows back then, I knew you would definitely go further. " An Lu smiled, with a girlish look on her face, "Sister, you really like me as always." "Of course, I can't do anything else. I can't be wrong when I look at people." But they didn't regard me as air, and they would ask me a few words.Xu Zhen was very interested in how Shen Qinyan and I got to know each other. After I told the truth, she and An Lu were overjoyed. An Lu laughed, "So it was me who was the matchmaker?" I blushed. Xu Zhen smiled, "Did Shen Qinyan wake you up?" "It's not. I feel so embarrassed when I wake up." "I really want to see Shen Qinyan's face at that time," An Lu continued, "But I can imagine it, it must be helpless. What happened next?" I told them exactly how we met. When I was helping Shen Qinyan fix the computer, An Lu burst out laughing, "The computer is broken? It must be an excuse made up by him. I dare say that on that day, I was with Shen Qinyan. After you met again, he went back and hurriedly poured a glass of water into the computer, so as to trick you into helping him fix the computer." "Huh?" I was shocked and lost in thought. Thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the case. There are many doubts in this matter.First, I felt that there was an abnormal amount of moisture in his computer at the time, and it didn't look like a computer that had been flooded for several days.Second, if it is true that there are a lot of important data in his computer as he said, he must call someone to repair it as soon as possible, and it is not necessary to wait until I show up.That's what the so-called sudden realization is all about! I frowned and thought hard, Xu Zhen laughed, and patted my arm, "I don't ask you, maybe Shen Qinyan's computer is really broken, and that's our villain's heart." She turned her gaze to An Lu, "By the way, you said you wanted to talk to me yesterday, what is it?" "Oh——" An Lu raised the corner of her mouth and said in a very brisk tone, "That's right. My producer recently mentioned to me that he wanted to invite Gu Chijun to participate in the talk show. I don't know what the senior thinks? " "You have to ask him himself, I can't decide." Xu Zhen shook his head. "Okay." The smile in An Lu's eyes deepened, and she didn't take it seriously, "I'm just asking casually, senior sister, don't take it to heart." Even though I had been pretending to be a wooden man next to me, I still pricked up my ears when I heard the words "Gu Chijun".Curiosity is like an animal waking up from hibernation, ready to move.What is the relationship between Gu Chijun and Xu Zhen?It is rare in my life that I am so curious and eager to search the Internet, but since the two parties involved are at the scene, it is really not good to go online in front of them. My eyeballs rolled on the two of them, An Lu turned to look at me, "Look at your expression, what do you want to ask?" I pursed my lips angrily and shook my head quickly.That's the bad thing about Babyface, he can't hide any thoughts. Xu Zhen was aware of it. After looking at me for three seconds, she said, "What do you want to know about my relationship with Gu Chijun?" When she asked me what was in my heart, I blushed with embarrassment, and my face was ready to fry, "You, how do you know? I saw Mr. Gu on the set, so I was a little curious. But, sister Xu Zhen, you don't have to tell Me, I'm just curious." Xu Zhen smiled slightly, "It's okay. Gu Chijun is my husband." I keep my eyes open. What Sister Min said at that time still rings in my ears. ——Why the shadow? —for love. In other words, Gu Chijun quit the film industry for Xu Zhen!I didn't expect this legendary figure sitting next to me to become dumb for a moment, just looking at Xu Zhen foolishly.She smiled at me kindly, but if Gu Chijun fell in love with Xu Zhen who was sitting next to me, I could understand. Probably because my shocked expression was too obvious, An Lu gave me a sympathetic look, "It's no wonder you don't know. It's been more than ten years since the two of them went away, and most people don't remember Yes. Human beings are the most forgetful.” I said, "No, no, I'm shocked, because your story feels to me, how should I put it, like a legend." "I'm afraid it's a legend that makes people laugh and cry," Xu Zhen sighed, "By the way, Ari, are you free next weekend?" I took out my phone and looked at the schedule, "Yes." "Next Sunday is my daughter Gu Zhu's fifth birthday. She is a very lively little girl. If it's convenient," she curled her eyes with a smile, "I want to invite you and Shen Qinyan to her birthday party. Why not?" Sample?" She was so kind and charming, I nodded without thinking, "Of course." Shen Qinyan was not as enthusiastic about this invitation as I was. In fact, he was even surprised when he heard that Xu Zhen and I met and talked. "Why?" I was puzzled, "Aren't you willing to go?" "No," Shen Qin said, "Of course I will, I'm just a little surprised." "But sister Xu Zhen said that she is not an outsider." Shen Qinyan nodded, "It is indeed not an outsider." I looked at him curiously. He put down the work in his hand, took me to sit down on the sofa, and told me, "After I ran away from home, I wandered outside for a while, and then came to Jinghai City. I did a lot of work during that time , such as being a guitarist in a small band, working part-time in a theater troupe, and finally getting a relatively stable job as a waiter in a restaurant. You know all about this. That’s when I met her, she and I Same, also working as a waiter in that restaurant." I listened intently, Shen Qinyan's lines were very good, so when he told the story of the past, it was immersive. "She was in her senior year, her father had just passed away, and she had to earn her last year's tuition by herself, and I was also struggling with money, and in some ways, we had a lot in common. "Later, I learned that her family situation is quite complicated, just like mine. People like us who have similar growth backgrounds have a common language, so I became familiar with her. Her mother is a quite famous director. Although I have retired due to poor health in the past few years, everyone in the film circle knew everyone at that time. By chance, Xu Zhen introduced me to her mother, and I was honored to become an actor. She Help me a lot." "I see." I nodded suddenly, "So, she is your lucky star?" "Yes, you can say that. Not long afterward, I remember that not long after she graduated from senior year, she married Gu Chijun and went to Switzerland. She has hardly returned to China for more than ten years. She left in a hurry , and almost didn’t contact her again afterwards. Based on this, she should be back for the first time this year.” I finally sorted out the context of what happened back then, and nodded in satisfaction. "Since this is the case, then we have to give a big gift to Sister Xu Zhen's daughter! But what are we going to give?" Shen Qinyan said "Yes" and asked me, "What was the gift you wanted the most when you were five years old?" "computer!" Shen Qinyan remained expressionless, "Tell me something a little normal." Who said he can't joke, he is very good at telling bad jokes.He crossed the answer blankly. I pouted dissatisfiedly, "Are you saying I'm abnormal?" He laughed, "How dare you? However, not every little girl in the world has your talent. I think I should give you a puppet." "Is that all right?" "Enough is enough," he said. "It doesn't matter how important the gift is, as long as it comes to your heart."
