"Is that why you don't want to see your own mother like that!" The woman began to roar, and her makeup was wet with tears, she was in a mess.
"Yeah." Gu Chen was too lazy to entangle with her, so he answered and closed the door again.
"Aunt Xu?" Zhu Meng's voice sounded from behind the woman, and the two who were arguing stopped what they were doing and looked behind together.
"Mengmeng?" Xu Ruyun was also taken aback when seeing Zhu Meng, and then remembered Gu Chen who showed more disgust towards her than ever before, and he knew it.
"Mengmeng, come in!" Gu Chen shouted anxiously. He didn't know what kind of sparks would be produced when these two met together, he only knew that the last time Zhu Meng went to see his mother alone, it seemed that the world had evaporated, so he couldn't find it anywhere. Therefore, he can no longer let history repeat itself!
However, Zhu Meng was shocked by the mottled tears on Xu Ruyun's face and the tense atmosphere between the two, and couldn't move his feet for a while.
"Mengmeng!" Gu Chen shouted again.
"Huh?" Zhu Meng finally came to his senses, wanted to go over, but hesitated because of Xu Ruyun's presence. She secretly glanced at Xu Ruyun, only to find that she was staring at Gu Chen, with infinite sadness in her eyes.
Zhu Meng's heart suddenly had the idea of ??retreating, and she said to Gu Chen apologetically: "I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered something, I have to go home." Then she turned to leave.
Gu Chen quickly walked out of the room, firmly grasped Zhu Meng's wrist, and turned her to face him.
"Don't go." He begged.
Zhu Meng looked past him to Xu Ruyun. As if sensing her gaze, Xu Ruyun also looked at her. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, Zhu Meng looked away awkwardly. Thinking of what Xu Ruyun once said to her, she couldn't stand here with peace of mind, but Gu Chen refused to let her leave.
Xu Ruyun also walked up to them, stopped and said to Gu Chen: "I will stay in city a for a week, I hope you can find time to see me." After speaking, he walked up and left.
"Aunt Xu!" Zhu Meng called out to stop her.
Xu Ruyun turned her head and saw Zhu Meng's outstretched hand, with a pack of tissues in her palm.
"Just wipe it off." Zhu Meng said, with an embarrassed smile on her face.
Xu Ruyun also smiled back, took the tissue, said "thank you" and left.
Gu Chen stuck to Zhu Meng all the way into the house.
"Today is not the weekend, why didn't you go to work?" Zhu Meng asked curiously. Although she has been abroad for the past few years, she has read a lot of news about Gu Chen. She naturally knew that he was the CEO of Gu's largest subsidiary, but she didn't know that the CEO could be so leisurely.
"I want to stay with you." Gu Chen hugged her from behind with a smile, and breathed into her ear.
Zhu Meng's mind flashed the words "beauty's disaster" for a moment, and recalling the reason why she left in the first place, she couldn't help breaking away Gu Chen's hands around her waist, and the expression on her face became stiff.
"What's wrong?" Gu Chen didn't quite understand Zhu Meng's behavior. He lowered his head to look at her and asked worriedly, "Am I being too outrageous?"
"Yes." Zhu Meng replied quickly, deliberately showing disgust and trouble, and said, "It's been so many years, and I'm not what I used to be. Gu Chen, we are just ordinary friends, so don't treat me any more. Make a gesture of affection, okay?"
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, his eyelids slowly drooped down, and his long eyelashes left a shadow on his fair skin.
"Okay." He said softly, "I see."
Seeing Gu Chen like this, Zhu Meng felt even more uncomfortable. She tried her best to restrain her urge to throw herself into his arms, clenched her fists hard, and her fingertips sank deeply into her palm.
She told herself that it was right to do so, pushing him away was the best choice for both him and her. He managed to get rid of his autism and was able to communicate normally with other people. How could she let him fall into that predicament again. What's more, the current self has long lost the confidence to stand by his side, and the troubles at home have not been dealt with, so how can she have extra energy to take care of him, but he is such a vulnerable person.
For a moment, the two of them had nothing to say.
Zhu Meng didn't like the suffocating silence, and subconsciously wanted to escape.
"Then" She was interrupted by Gu Chen before she finished speaking.
"I'm hungry," he said, "I haven't eaten since morning."
Seeing Gu Chen pushing the shopping cart in front of him, Zhu Meng could only sigh uncontrollably. As expected, he was still too soft-hearted, and he couldn't really be cruel to him at all.
As soon as he said that he hadn't eaten all morning, he would automatically worry that he would have stomach problems from hunger, and then hurried to the refrigerator, opened the refrigerator door and stared at the pure water inside Eye.
Originally, I wanted to take him out to eat casually, but then I suddenly remembered that apart from being autistic since childhood, this guy had a bad stomach. He often had diarrhea when he came home from eating out, so he had to go to the supermarket with him again.
"What do you want to eat?" she asked him.
He shook his head and said, "I don't know. I'm not picky."
Yes, he is indeed not picky about food, which is in stark contrast to her. Her picky eating has almost reached the point where both humans and gods are indignant. Onions, ginger, garlic, onions and other smelly ingredients are definitely not eaten. Green vegetables only eat the leaves and not the stems, and fishy seafood is not touched at all. She can even eat some ingredients when they are fried, but she will never eat them when they are cooked.
"Then I'll just watch and buy it?" Zhu Meng looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded.
Zhu Meng took two quick steps and walked in front of Gu Chen, scanning the pantry after pantry, and took it down and threw it into the shopping cart when she saw what she liked.
"Pork chop or steak?" Zhu Meng stood in front of the freezer, with pork chop in one hand and steak in the other, frowning in confusion.
Just as Gu Chen was about to answer, she heard her decisive voice: "It's better to have pork chops, it's easier, um."
Zhu Meng happily put a large piece of pork chops into the shopping cart, and then urged Gu Chen: "Hurry up and go buy seasonings. There is really nothing in your kitchen except for that pile of gorgeous kitchen utensils." No!"
Gu Chen was accused by her, and there was nothing to refute. It's just that when pushing the cart past the freezer, he glanced at the steak that Zhu Meng finally discarded from the corner of his eye, and secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Gu Chen followed Zhu Meng into the kitchen with big bags and small bags.
"Take out all the seasonings and arrange them on the counter." Zhu Meng instructed him.
Gu Chen rummaged through the shopping bag without saying a word, and sorted out the various seasonings according to the packaging.
On the other hand, Zhu Meng carefully washed the vegetables she bought, and cut them up for later use. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
