The paranoid boss always tries to trick me

Mrs. Jiang's mournful cries lingered in the room, making Gu Wanran and Gu Xunxun who were standing behind couldn't bear to hear it.

Jiang Yuechen strode over with a sullen face, squatted down in front of Mrs. Jiang, and found that she was still holding an old photo in her hand, which belonged to Jiang Xianlin.

He tried to pull the photo out of her hand, but felt great resistance.

"Give it to me," he said.

Mrs. Jiang cried and shook her head, and said sadly, "Your father is gone, he doesn't want us anymore..."

Jiang Yuechen sighed deeply, did not grab the photo in her hand again, pursed his lips and did not move again.

"Mummy..." Gu Xunxun raised his head to look at Gu Wanran, his eyes filled with unbearable expression, "Can I comfort you?"

"...Go." Gu Wanran patted Gu Xunxun's back lightly, without stopping him.

Xiao Baozi ran over on short legs, stood in front of Mrs. Jiang, and gently wiped her tears, "Don't cry, Grandpa Jiang is actually still there, in our hearts."

Mrs. Jiang raised her head in a daze, and looked at Gu Xunxun through her teary eyes, her heart mourned, and her crying became even more miserable.

Gu Xunxun scratched his head, not knowing what to do, he looked at Gu Wanran helplessly.

But there was no sign of Gu Wanran at the door, and I don't know what quietly left.

Mrs. Jiang's broken cry lingered in the room for a long time. Jiang Yuechen rubbed the center of his brows tiredly and let out a sigh.

He looked at the empty doorway, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Gu Xunxun sat down on the ground, propped his chin and looked at the two of them, his mouth was flat, not very happy.

The housekeeper quickly found a bandage, treated Mrs. Jiang's wound, and cleaned up the room.

For the remaining few days, Mrs. Jiang kept herself locked in the room. She didn't eat or drink, and didn't argue with Gu Xunxun any more. She was in a daze, and the atmosphere in the villa was gloomy.

Gu Wanran walked down the stairs and frowned slightly when she saw Jiang Yuechen standing in front of the window sill smoking a cigarette.

"When did you learn to smoke?"

Jiang Yuechen was slightly startled, then turned to see her, and put the cigarette in the ashtray to extinguish it, "Five years ago."

Five years ago, after losing her, he once used drinking and smoking to numb himself, because he was not very good at drinking, so he became addicted to smoking.

However, in the past two years, he has slowly quit, and it was only recently that he was so depressed that he started smoking again.

Gu Wanran lowered her eyes for a moment, and said lightly: "Well, then I won't bother you anymore, Mr. Jiang will continue."

She turned around and was about to leave, but Jiang Yuechen took a step forward, pulled her back, and pulled her back to his side, "Don't go."

He held her in his arms, put his chin on her chin, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't go, let me hold you for a while."

Gu Wanran stood still, she should have struggled, but the current situation made her somewhat unable to refuse.

"... When my father just passed away, she was like this. It took a full month to recover. The whole family seemed to be collapsing. I don't know how I survived it, and I don't know how I kept it. From my father's company."

"Gu Wanran, I admit that I did something irreparable to you, but at that time, I was unable to think calmly, I was always angry, only during the days when I became Xu Jiachen, I had a chance to breathe."

"..."

Gu Wanran didn't know what to say, those memories were also embarrassing for her, so she didn't respond at all.

Jiang Yuechen took a deep breath and said slowly, "...I'm sorry."

This apology, if it was at that time, maybe Gu Wanran would really choose to forgive, but now, Gu Wanran doesn't want to ignore it.

What she has endured cannot be justified by an apology.

Jiang Yuechen said hoarsely: "I know you won't forgive me, at least don't leave me, I can protect you and give you everything you want."

He had fantasized about the scene of Gu Wanran's return countless times in his dreams, and he had long been prepared to mature her anger and hatred. He thought those fantasies were just fantasies, but now she really came back.

"...I have already lost my father, and I don't want to lose you again, so don't punish me to make me suffer, I really don't want to see it."

He slowly let go of Gu Wanran, and gently stroked her lips with his fingers: "There is a reason why my mother hates you that much. She really loves my father. She doesn't want to admit it now, but it doesn't mean it will be like this in the future. Give her some time."

Gu Wanran slowly shook her head: "I give her time, who will give me time?"

Jiang Yuechen looked at her with complicated eyes.

"It's time to go to bed, Mr. Jiang." Gu Wanran waved his hand away, "I think she has been punished, and I won't do anything to her again, as long as she doesn't come to provoke me."

After leaving these words, she turned around and went upstairs. When she passed Mrs. Jiang's room, she heard voices of confession coming from inside.

"Alin, I miss you so much, I regret not being with you well, I always thought we had a long time..."

"Alin, my son has avenged you, you can sleep peacefully, I hope I can see you in my dream..."

Gu Wanran pursed the corners of her lips, walked towards the room, and didn't listen any more.

She locked the door of the room, lay on the bed and looked up at the ceiling, her thoughts were disordered and complicated.

Before she knew it, she fell asleep.

This time, she slept until noon the next day, fortunately it was a rest day, otherwise she would have missed many things.

Walking out of the room, I saw Mrs. Jiang's door was wide open, and Gu Xunxun was also in front of the door. Gu Wanran walked over curiously: "What happened?"

"Mummy!" Gu Xunxun hugged Gu Wanran, pointed inside and said, "There is a doctor here to see Mrs. Jiang."

……doctor?
Gu Wanran looked inside, and saw several doctors surrounding Mrs. Jiang who was sitting on the bed, with a blank expression. Jiang Yuechen was sitting beside her, watching the doctor treat her.

"How?" he asked in a low voice.

The doctor said: "Mrs. Jiang's condition...has improved."

"Getting better?"

It's already in such a situation, how can it get better?
The doctor said: "It is indeed getting better, perhaps Mr. Jiang stimulated her to wake up, so she can see the reality clearly.

Hearing the words "Mr. Jiang", Mrs. Jiang's fingers moved faintly, and she looked at the doctor in a daze.

The doctor said with pity: "Perhaps it is better for Mrs. Jiang not to wake up."

Jiang Yuechen remained silent.

After sending the doctor away, Gu Xunxun ran to Mrs. Jiang's room again.

In the past few days, Gu Xunxun gradually stopped avoiding Mrs. Jiang, instead he often comforted her, watched TV with her, and told her stories.

Jiang Yuechen said: "Xunxun is a good boy."

He looked at Gu Wanran and said, "Tomorrow I plan to visit the grave, will you go?"

"Huh?" Gu Wanran didn't react for a moment.

"My father's tomb." Jiang Yuechen said, "I haven't visited him for a long time."

Gu Wanran hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Sure, he and my father are good friends, so I'll take it as a visit for my father."

She didn't propose to take Gu Xunxun with her, nor did Jiang Yuechen.

Early the next morning, the two went to the cemetery to visit the grave.

Gu Wanran bought a bouquet of flowers, put it on Jiang Xianlin's tombstone, respected him respectfully, and paid homage to him.

Jiang Yuechen poured wine, sat in front of the tombstone, and stroked the words on the tombstone, "If my father is still here..."

Halfway through, he couldn't continue.

Because there is no such if, it is useless to say more.

Gu Wanran stood behind him, not knowing how to comfort him, so he stopped talking.

"Give him a toast." Jiang Yuechen handed a wine glass to Gu Wanran.

Since Gu Wanran is here, such a request will naturally not be refused.

She took the wine glass over, carefully poured a glass of wine, and sprinkled it in front of Jiang Xianlin's monument.

"When I was young, he was worried about my marriage." Jiang Yuechen said, "He was very worried that I would not find someone I liked, and he was also worried that no one would really like me. He thought my personality was not very good. So when I approached you, I used his character."

Gu Wanran responded coldly, if he mentioned Xu Jiachen in normal times, maybe Gu Wanran's temper would explode, but in front of the tombstone, she still chose to bear it.

Jiang Yuechen rarely babbled a lot, as if he was talking to his father, but also to Gu Wanran.

After toasting, he looked at Gu Wanran and said with a smile, "Thank you for coming with me today. I may not have the courage to come by myself."

"Boss Jiang is polite."

She turned around and walked out of the cemetery, and could hear Jiang Yuechen's footsteps following behind her.

The two walked out of the cemetery one after the other, got into the car, and prepared to go back.

Jiang Yuechen adjusted the navigation, Gu Wanran saw that he was planning to go to the restaurant, and then checked the time, when they rushed back, it happened to be lunch time.

"I'm not going to the restaurant." Gu Wanran wrinkled his nose and said, "I agreed with Xun Xun to stay with him at noon."

"Okay, I won't go."

Jiang Yuechen resolutely canceled and drove to the villa: "It will take more than an hour to go back, you can take a rest."

Gu Wanran gave a faint "hmm", leaned against the car window, and slowly closed her eyes.

Jiang Yuechen glanced at her, started the car, and drove slowly towards home.

Gu Wanran fell asleep in a daze, and for an unknown amount of time, she suddenly felt the car shake, and her head hit the window.

"Hiss..." She rubbed her forehead and opened her eyes in a daze to look at Jiang Yuechen. Seeing that his face was not good-looking, she couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yuechen glanced at her, reached out and rubbed her forehead: "Sorry, the car broke down."

Gu Wanran: "..."

Gu Wanran: "Hasn't your car been checked and repaired all the time? How could it break down so easily?"

Jiang Yuechen gave a faint "hmm": "There are always accidents."

He took out his mobile phone: "I asked Chen Shi to come pick us up, you first..."

After a pause, he looked at the no signal displayed on his mobile phone, and then looked at the surrounding wilderness, his brows and eyes sank a bit.

At this time, Gu Wanran had also taken out his mobile phone, and realized how wrong the current situation was.

She smiled coldly: "I didn't expect to come out with Mr. Jiang, and there would be such a surprise."
