Gu Xie sits at the main seat in the conference room. There are seven or eight people sitting on both sides, all of them in suits and leather shoes. There are either laptops, meeting minutes and pens in front of them. A young man is standing next to the projection screen. When I explained my proposal, the others listened quietly, and from time to time put forward my opinions in the gap between the end of the speech.

In the middle of the meeting, the door was suddenly pushed open, the young people on the stage stopped talking, and the assistant went to Gu Xie and whispered under the eyes of a group of people.

"your phone number."

Gu Xie stood up without hesitation and spoke to everyone.

"Wait for me five minutes."

Like a pack of wolves that lost their leader, a group of people looked at each other and began to discuss quietly.

"I remember the boss never answering the phone during meetings."

"It's not that the boss doesn't answer the phone during the meeting, but he only answers the boss's mother's call, but the boss's mother doesn't call the boss very often. I heard that the boss will call my mother on time."

The man opened his eyes wide in surprise, looked at his colleague for a long time, and struggled.

"It's kind of unimaginable."

Gu Xie's name sounds like a rebellious young man, but in fact Gu Xie is tall and burly, 1.9 meters tall, and has a good figure, which can be called the word "bee waist and monkey back". You can see the outline of the knotted muscles under the clothes.

This big man who looked a bit fierce turned out to be the one who called his mother on time.

Over there, Gu Xie quickly walked into the empty conference room next to him.

"Hey, you have already returned to China, why didn't you tell me?"

There is a woman on the phone.

"Xiao Wang is about to give birth at home. I'm worried. I have to go back and have a look. Are you busy with work recently?"

"There's nothing else to do. I can go back tonight. Where's Dad? Why did you come back alone?"

The woman seemed a little annoyed.

"He is still abroad. He has to drag me to do physical therapy. I am not sick and healthy. Let him do it alone."

Gu Xie said patiently.

"You can say if you don't want to do it. Dad will listen to you. My dad and I are worried about running away like this."

"I know, I know, I won't tell you anymore, I'll be home soon, I'm so sleepy, go back to sleep."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Xie handed the phone to the assistant.

"The air ticket for the evening can be cancelled. I will find a way to postpone the itinerary for the next two days. By the way, I will call my father and say that my mother came back quietly by herself, and report that she is safe."

Gu Qingchi got up very early this morning. He opened a small program on his mobile phone to record the itinerary. There were seven or eight itineraries recorded on it. The first item was going to bed and getting up on time.

He ticked off this item, Gu Qingchi established a one-year itinerary, all of these items, he earnestly completes these most basic daily routines every day, scrolling forward, you can see many days in the past The itinerary has been checked, and the second item of the itinerary is to make a healthy breakfast for myself.

Gu Qingchi has just started learning to cook, and he is not very proficient in using kitchen utensils. He fumbled to fry eggs for himself, boiled some broccoli, poured a glass of milk at the end, and checked off the second itinerary.

After a day, several other options were checked one after another, and only the last one was left. Gu Qingchi thought about it for a while, and decided to go to the supermarket without much time. There were not many vegetables left in the refrigerator. Little Lihua's cat food is also gone.

There is a big supermarket next to the community, Gu Qingchi first went to buy a few bags of cat food and a bunch of canned food according to the brand of cat food Xiao Lihua usually eats, and then went to buy vegetables.

Now is the time for discounts in supermarkets, and the surrounding communities are mostly elderly residents, and a group of people are crowded in the vegetable area, most of them are elderly grandpas and aunts.

Even if Gu Qingchi's clothes are private clothes, they are all matched by professional costumers. The patterns and styles are very individual, and he is tall. He is a bit taller among a group of colorfully dressed elders and aunts. He is very conspicuous and attracts people's attention. , but I didn't notice it, and felt safe when I wore a mask, so I naturally mixed into the grocery shopping army and moved with the flow of people.

Outside the supermarket, in a private car, a woman is leaning on the seat, and there are drinks and a plate of delicate cakes on the small table next to her. She looks older, with slight wrinkles around her eyes, but if she is with those When a young and aggressive little girl is together, everyone's eyes will definitely be on her.

Age has not become her disadvantage. Her every move has a different style, which is extraordinarily attractive. She has good skin and decent makeup. It can be seen that she is used to living a pampered life, but for some reason, she looks a little haggard. There is always some sadness that seems to be there.

She rubbed her temples with her fingers and instructed the driver.

"Xiao Wang, go and buy some Coke. Xiao Xie will definitely eat Coke and chicken wings again when Xiao Xie comes back today. When I look back, I have to mutter again. I don't even think about it. He's not here, so there's no Coke at home."

The driver didn't remind her that the little Xie she was talking about had become the head of the Gu family under the guidance of her father. He acted resolutely and had a lot of power, and he hadn't clamored for coke and chicken wings for a long time.

"Yes, Mrs. Gu."

The driver had just unbuckled his seat belt and before he could get out of the car, she said again.

"Buy some more—"

She suddenly stopped, what to buy?Who to buy it for?She became inexplicably anxious, clutched her chest, and panted heavily.

"Madam Gu!"

The driver turned around quickly, and before he even had time to get out of the car to the back seat, he stood up and took a bottle of medicine from the refrigerator in the car.

But being blocked by Madam Gu, she remembered to buy something for her child, her little sister.

She let go of her hand slowly, almost panting with ease.

"I'm fine, I just forgot to buy something for Xiao Xie, I'll go with you, I haven't been to the supermarket for a long time, maybe I remembered it when I saw it."

The driver replied hesitantly, and finally put the bottle of medicine in his coat pocket.

Mrs. Gu often scans the goods in major luxury stores. A group of people greet her and serve her alone. The supermarket is also very impressive. The driver is neatly dressed in a suit and white gloves, pushing the shopping cart. After following her, he bought a Coke first, and then went shopping in a good mood. The neatly arranged goods were available for anyone to choose from, which made Mrs. Gu a little happy.

"Ma'am, your phone number."

Madam Gu happily put down the bottle of juice in her hand.

"It must be Xiao Xie's call. He went back and didn't see me. He must urge me to go home. This kid just likes to act like a baby. Let's stop shopping and go home quickly."

Gu Xie secretly sighed over there, he was precocious since he was a child, and he was taught by his father to take care of his mother, he never liked to act like a baby, and he would never urge Mrs. Gu to go home.

He subconsciously softened his voice, did not refute, but followed Mrs. Gu's words.

"Yes, mother, be careful on the way home."

Mrs. Gu was a little impatient.

"I got it, I got it, I bought Coke, and I went back to make your favorite Coke chicken wings."

"Xiao Xie is getting more and more serious. You obviously fell down when you were a child, and you would come crying and want me to hug you. You were so cute back then."

Mrs. Gu got a little angry as she spoke.

"It's all your father's fault. You insisted on letting your son inherit his father's career. Since then, your personality has become more and more small. Obviously, Xiao Xie likes to play the piano with her mother. When you were young, you were also good at playing the violin."

"It was my fault."

Gu Xie agreed with his mouth, but silently refuted in his heart.

He really likes coke and chicken wings, but he doesn't cry and act like a spoiled child to his mother. Gu Xie has the same temper as his father, because he fell down and acted like a spoiled child to his mother. Even Gu Xie would not do such a shameful thing when he was a child. .

Mrs. Gu didn't mean to tease Gu Xie, she really believed that her child likes to act like a baby, likes snacks, and has outstanding talent in art. She is outstanding and has a good reputation. If it weren't for the things that happened a few years ago, she should be famous by now.

Mrs. Gu was spoiled by her family when she was a child, and was spoiled by Gu's father when she grew up, so she didn't suffer any grievances. After marriage, she had a servant for cooking and housework, and a childcare teacher and Gu's father to take care of the children. She lived a carefree life.

It should be like this, but artists seem to have delicate souls and sensitive nerves.

Even with such meticulous care from the whole family, after losing her second child due to an accident, her fragile nerves collapsed. She cried all day long, and even imagined a child, a beautiful and obedient child who likes to act like a baby.

But in fact, the child died just after he was born, and she had never even seen the child, nor had she spent even a single day with him.

Gu Xie can understand the sadness of a mother losing a child, but Mrs. Gu has been in grief for a long time. When everyone came out, Mrs. Gu still refused to accept this reality until now.

Gu Xie couldn't empathize with this, even when he was informed that he had lost his young brother, he didn't really feel it. Maybe it was because he was too young to understand the meaning of life and death. He only remembered his mother crying all day long. , calling him to play the piano in a state of insanity, hugging him tightly, and the atmosphere at home was so stagnant that he could barely breathe, these were the things that impressed him the most.

Over the years, Gu Xie and Gu's father have taken good care of Mrs. Gu, and she has gradually improved. She no longer cries all day long, because she is too sad, and she has forgotten the death of her second child, although she still often remembers it incorrectly. Things, but compared to her previous situation, it is considered very good now.

Everyone pretended that nothing happened, and no one took the initiative to touch the family's wounds and taboos.

But Mrs. Gu placed her mother's love that had nowhere to rest on Gu Xie. Gu Xie would be reminded from time to time that he once had a younger brother. If he grew up safely and healthily, he would be a beautiful and coquettish girl. child.

The details Mrs. Gu conjured up are sometimes too specific, and the specifics make Gu Xie feel in a trance that he really has such a younger brother who is held in his hands and cherished.

Sometimes Gu Xie would think, if this child really existed and then left, and he had really gotten along with this child, then he might also collapse like Mrs. Gu.

Thinking in this way, Gu Xie gradually understood Mrs. Gu's collapse. She spent ten months with that child day and night, but the little life she was looking forward to disappeared suddenly. Coupled with the fragility after giving birth, she was Tortured to the point of insanity by this pain.

So Gu Xie paid more attention to his mother, almost to the point of being a warlord.

People are too fragile, just like the little brother he has never met before, before he realizes it, before opening his leaves to the sun, it has withered.

Over there, Mrs. Gu complained enough, and became happy again. She casually put the drink in her shopping cart.

"That Xiaoxie is obedient at home, we'll take Coke home and make your favorite Coke Chicken Wings."

Gu Xie agreed, and then said.

"Dad's plane will arrive tomorrow. Don't do this next time. Dad is very worried about you. He just told me that you didn't answer his phone."

"I know, I have Xiao Wang with me, he can do everything, there is a reason why I don't answer his calls, and if I do, he will be nagging and educating me for a long time, I don't like listening to him talk about this—"

Madam Gu's gaze unconsciously skipped over the crowd, and suddenly stopped.

Her eyes fixed on a point in the crowd, her hand slowly lowered, and she let go of the phone.

Gu Xie could only hear a crashing sound, he raised his heart and raised his voice.

"Hey, what's the matter? What happened?"

After a while, there was a sound on the phone again, it was the sound of the shopping cart being pushed, and the driver, his tone was a little uncertain.

"Madam suddenly ran to the vegetable area, as if she saw an acquaintance?"

"Okay, Xiao Wang, thank you for taking good care of your wife, don't hang up the phone, I'll drive there right now."

When Gu Xie spoke, the car had already started and started out of the garage. He has dealt with situations like this many times over the years, especially in the past few years, when Mrs. Gu was in the most serious situation, and she was always fine for a second. They were talking and laughing, and cried hysterically in the next second. Mrs. Gu didn't trust other people, and only relaxed a little under Gu's father's comfort. After all, a person's energy is limited, so Gu Xie started to help his father take care of his mother when he was still a child.

Mrs. Gu walked too quickly, her high heels sprained, and she leaned forward. She subconsciously grabbed the cuff of the person in front of her.

And the other party instinctively turned around to support Mrs. Gu.

The phone was still connected, Xiao Wang followed Mrs. Gu closely, and Gu Xie could hear Mrs. Gu's conversation very clearly from the noisy voices.

"Do I know you? Do you know me?"

The other side was quiet for a while, and there was a hoarse, cold voice, like cold raindrops suddenly pouring down on a sultry summer afternoon.

"I don't know, ma'am."
