Downstairs coffee shop.

Gu Mochen was expressionless, and said indifferently: "Mrs. Zhang, you came to see me suddenly, what's the matter?"

Xue Yuelan felt like a stone was blocked in her heart when she heard that call.

She paused, summoned up the courage to call out his nickname: "Chenchen, I..."

"Just call me Lawyer Gu, we don't know each other that well." He glanced at her coldly, "Do you have any legal questions to consult? All lawyers in our law firm need to make an appointment."

Xue Yuelan was blocked by his words, she didn't know how to speak, she just shook her head: "No, it's not a legal issue."

He frowned slightly: "Sorry, I'm very busy, so I'm leaving first."

"Chenchen, wait a minute!"

Seeing that he had already got up, Xue Yuelan immediately stood up, grabbed his arm, with a painful expression on her face, Gu Mochen threw her away, glanced at her irritably, and sat down again.

"I know, you blame me in your heart, blame me for abandoning you so cruelly back then, so no matter how angry or resentful you are now, I understand." She spoke slowly, with a choke in her throat, "Seeing how you are now Healthy, so good, I'm really, really happy."

"Are you asking for money, or what?" He sneered, thinking that all her sufferings were just for these reasons, "I don't need to talk about the scene, let's get straight to the point, so as not to waste time."

Hearing what he said, Xue Yuelan's eyes turned red immediately, and pain was written on her tired face: "You really hate me that much?!"

"It's not hatred. I'm just used to the peaceful life these years. You suddenly appeared and disturbed me."

Xue Yuelan was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "I'm sorry to disturb you." She looked at him and squeezed out a bitter smile, "I'm very happy that you are with Manman, she is a very good girl , I wish you all a safe and happy life.”

After speaking, she got up slowly, picked up her satchel and left quietly.

Gu Mochen closed his eyes forcefully, but in the end he couldn't pass the test in his heart. He took out a hundred yuan bill from his wallet and pressed it on the table, and chased him out.

"Speak." He shouted, "Perform a show in front of me, what's the matter?"

Xue Yuelan was a little surprised, turned around and looked at him, hesitating to speak.

"I'll just give you this one chance, and I won't see you in the future." He frowned and stared straight at her.

The afternoon sun was blocked by the building, a gust of wind blew by, and it was still gloomy and cold, such was Gu Mochen's cold tone at this moment.

She opened her mouth slightly, hesitated for a while, and said with a sense of shame: "I'm sorry, I won't open this mouth to you unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Want money?"

"No, it's not money, it's..." She hesitated, "It's bone marrow."

Gu Mochen was startled, not understanding what she meant.

"After divorcing your father, I started a new family and had a new child." He knew that the child was Zhang Jiakai. "But a few days ago, he suddenly passed out and was hospitalized. The test result was leukemia."

Gu Mochen was taken aback, feeling extremely surprised.

Manman never mentioned this matter on the phone, it seems that she didn't know about it, but it was too sudden, that Zhang Jiakai, who is still tall, suddenly fell ill.

"I know, I disappeared for more than [-] years, suddenly appeared, and made such an exaggerated request, you must think I am ridiculous, but, but I really have no choice, my bone marrow match with his father's No, I've searched for everyone I can find, the bone marrow bank is like looking for a needle in a haystack, I don't know if he can last until that time, so I can only come to you." The tears accumulated in Xue Yuelan's eyes finally came out This moment poured out, "Even if you don't admit it, he is indeed your half-brother. Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, I don't want to give up. So, so, Chenchen, mother, I beg you, Can you help me once?"

Gu Mochen was silent for a long time, the shock of hearing the news, the pleasure of seeing her pain after the shock, the inner struggle after the pleasure, the clueless irritability after the struggle, and the resentment derived from the irritability, all mixed together at this moment, Let him know what to do.

marrow?

Her biological mother, after disappearing for more than twenty years, suddenly appeared in front of him and asked him for bone marrow to save her other son. What a ridiculous plot.

Seeing her crying silently for Zhang Jiakai, Gu Mochen became more and more irritable: "Do you know what day it is today?"

Xue Yuelan stopped crying and looked at him blankly.

He sneered: "Today is my 32nd birthday, don't you remember?"

Her face instantly became even uglier.

He gritted his teeth and laughed at himself: "Oh, yes, how could you remember that if your son didn't ask for bone marrow, you wouldn't even remember that I am your flesh and blood, right?"

"When you left me back then, even if you had one-tenth of the affection you have for me now, I would feel better." His voice was deep and sounded calm, "Sorry, if you are short of money, maybe I would still Donate some money, and I can't do anything else."

"Chenchen!" Xue Yuelan held back the person who was about to leave, "I'm the one who is sorry for you, so just treat it as an act of kindness to a stranger, mother begging you!"

When Gu Mochen heard the word "Mom", the fire in his heart was ignited, he shook her away vigorously,
"I'm not that selfless, my body will only pay for the people I love! Don't come to me in the future!" His gaze was like a sword, piercing all her hopes.He turned around and took two steps forward, then stopped, "Don't try to use the vines to convince me, it's useless, just take it as retribution."

Back in the office, Gu Mochen slumped on the armchair.

The appearance of Xue Yuelan made him very painful, as if different forces broke into his body, tearing him apart in all directions.

The image of her crying bitterly, and the image of her humbly begging for her other son appeared in his mind, which made him even more unbalanced, and paranoidly gave birth to a trace of gloating pleasure.However, it also made him recall the painful scene of her abandoning herself in the playground for the first time when he was awake. At that time, he was also like her now, so painful, so desperate, and so helpless.

The pain I endured after the age of six, the fear of facing loneliness alone, and the countless grievances on the way of growing up, I really can't let go.

Gu Mochen thought to himself, he is also an ordinary person, not that great, and sometimes he will be willful and unreasonable, this time, he just doesn't want to help.

I locked myself in the office all afternoon, rejected all work and calls, and finally calmed down a bit.

The boss's state was a bit sluggish, and everyone noticed it in one afternoon, so all colleagues who wanted to find him were discouraged.But because the dinner party to celebrate his birthday was planned early in the morning, everyone unanimously urged Secretary Helen to come in to find out the wind, so when he got off work, Helen knocked on the door timidly and came in.

"Is there something wrong?" Gu Mochen pressed the center of his eyebrows, looking very tired, as if he didn't want to talk.

Helen pursed her lips, and asked cautiously: "Lawyer Gu, have you not forgotten the dinner tonight?"

It was only after this reminder that he remembered that he didn't want to go, but after thinking about it, he really needed to go to a lively place to distract his attention, so he said, "I haven't forgotten, everyone should leave when they are busy. "

A colleague from the law firm celebrated his birthday for him. Gu Mochen naturally tried his best to hide his good mood. Before leaving, he called Tan Man, but the other party's phone was turned off. He was a little depressed, but he didn't think too much. After wechat told his colleagues to have dinner , and set off with everyone.

During the meal, everyone saw that Gu Mochen seemed to have returned to his usual attitude, so they let go of it. Some colleagues even boldly asked him about the date of the wedding, clamoring that they would invite everyone to a wedding toast, and he also treated all the toasts with respect. Accept it completely, after a meal, I have already drank a lot.

After dinner, Xiao Zhicai rushed back from Hangzhou, strongly demanding that Gu Mochen go to the next game with everyone, but the slightly drunk Gu Mochen accepted it, so a group of people moved from the restaurant to the KTV, and the result was When the dinner party ended, it was almost early morning, and when he came out of the KTV, Gu Mochen was already very drunk.

It was still Chen Hao who sent him home.Along the way, Gu Mochen's cell phone rang several times, but he was already so drunk that he fell asleep, but Chen Hao took advantage of the traffic light, took out the cell phone from his pocket, and picked it up.

"Gu Mochen, you finally answered the phone, do you know that people will be worried." Tan Man was a little angry, and as soon as the phone was connected, she ignored it and yelled.

Chen Hao had a bitter look on his face: "Uh, Miss Tan, I'm sorry, at dinner tonight, Lawyer Gu drank too much when he was happy, and I'm sending him home, it's almost here."

"..." Tan Man paused and calmed down, "Oh, I'm sorry to trouble you."

When Tan Man returned to Shanghai, the lights were already on, and he received a message on WeChat that he was going to a dinner party, so she didn't want to disturb him, so she took a taxi and went back to his residence alone.

However, after coaxing Xiaobei to sleep and watching the movie, he couldn't help but call him before he came back, but no one answered the phone. Seeing that twelve o'clock was about to pass, my good intentions were let down, and I became more and more frustrated. Feeling aggrieved, when the phone finally got through, he was told that he was drunk, and he breathed air pressure in his chest inexplicably.

There was movement at the door, and Tan Man went to open the door depressed.The person who sent him back was still the man with glasses last time, because Tan Man vaguely remembered that his name seemed to be Chen Hao because they had a meal together.

"Hey, it's right to call Mrs. Gu this time." When Chen Hao saw Tan Man, he made a joke. He probably carried it all the way. After speaking, he gasped for breath.

Tan Man forced a smile, and immediately helped to support Gu Mochen's other arm. This scene reminded her of the first time they met, exactly the same.

"It's probably because of today's birthday. Lawyer Gu drank too much when he was happy. Don't be angry, Ms. Tan."

Tan Man said helplessly: "Today's birthday is the biggest, what can I say."
