Chapter 17 Torment, Just Want to Escape

"Sister Mo, didn't you drive today?" Xiang Wan hurried out and saw Jian Mo standing by the pillar looking at the sky.

Jian Mo suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly collected her broken thoughts. She looked around and found herself at the door of the office building. "It's open..."

Xiang Wan walked forward with a worried look on her face: "Sister Mo, are you okay?"

Jian Mo curled her lips and shook her head, "I'm fine, I'm just lost in thought..." After saying that, she turned around and went back to the office building, planning to take the elevator to the underground parking lot.

Xiang Wan just looked at Jian Mo's back, curled her lips slightly, and sighed deeply... From the first day she joined the company as an intern and followed Jian Mo, she felt that this senior sister had a story.

Others didn't know it, but she had heard the story about her senior sister and Chu Zixiao in school...it was so popular that after they left school one after another, people would occasionally talk about it.

At that time, when Ding Dang talked about broken love, for some reason, her first impression was that it was related to Chu Zixiao...

"Well, long-distance relationships do end in tragedy." Xiang Wan muttered helplessly, shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave.

Jian Mo drove back to Lanze Garden without eating. She went upstairs and threw herself on the bed... She didn't know when she fell asleep.

In the dream, she went back to two years ago, when her father's construction company had not had any trouble, and her brother had not become obsessed with gambling... Although the family was not rich, they were always happy.

Later, she dreamed of her first encounter with Chu Zixiao... At that time, she was dragged by her friend Li Xiaoyue to attend his class, and an unexpected incident occurred. With his hand, he made a vow to grow old together.

The wind blew gently through the open window. It was already the end of summer, and the night wind in Luo City was a bit cold... When it slid over Jian Mo's cheek, the tears that had overflowed from nowhere shocked her. heart of.

When I woke up, it was already past five o'clock the next morning, and the white color of fish belly had just appeared in the east.

When she woke up from a night's dream, Jian Mo didn't remember much, but she was left with a heart full of sadness that she couldn't get rid of...

I wanted to get up and take a shower, but as soon as I sat up, I felt groggy, as if there was a lead ball rolling back and forth in my head.

Jian Mo closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths before feeling relieved... She stood up and went to the bathroom with her tired body supported.

After taking a shower, I felt significantly better, but still felt weak.

Because it was still early before work, Jian Mo sat on the sofa and looked outside through the clean floor-to-ceiling windows, gradually lost in thought...

I don't know how long it took before Jian Mo looked back, took her cell phone and sent a text message to Li Xiaoyue: Xiaoyue, he is coming back.

There weren't many words, just a few words... but they revealed Jian Mo's hesitation and fear, and even more of sadness.

After sending this text message, Jian Mo just kept holding her knees and looked out the French window... watching the gloomy arrival of a new day, which was not delayed at all because of her sadness.

Some injuries she thought would stop hurting if she didn't touch them. It turned out...she had been deceiving herself all along.

It was almost noon when Li Xiaoyue called. Now she is making a name for herself in the legal field. She recently took on a criminal defense case and is very busy.

"Girl, what do you mean by text message?" Li Xiaoyue's voice was capable and calm, completely revealing the occupational disease.

Jian Mo stood in front of the window, looking at the rows of high-rise buildings shrouded in drizzle and blurred, "He's coming back..." He said the same thing.

"Why is it so sudden?" Li Xiaoyue questioned, "We haven't received any news at all."

The Chinese Chu Zixiao is now a well-deserved shining star in the legal world.

After two and a half years abroad, his reputation has already spread far and wide, and then the news comes back... If such a person were to return to the country, wouldn't the paparazzi in the country have already exploded?

Jian Mo lowered her eyes, she really hoped it was a lie...but how could Gu Beichen lie. After all, Zi Xiao is his nephew. It's normal for his family to know about it immediately when he comes back, right?

Feeling Jian Mo's silence, Li Xiaoyue frowned. She knew her friend's current situation, "What are you going to do?"

"I don't know..." Jian Mo's heart felt like it was being strangled by a rope.

Li Xiaoyue was silent for a while, and finally said: "Girl, sooner or later you will have to face it... From the time you knew about his relationship with Gu Beichen, you had already predicted this day, right?"

Jian Mo's mood became more solemn. Predicting it was one thing, but now when it came time to face it, she didn't dare at all.

"Two years have passed. Maybe...maybe he has given up." Li Xiaoyue felt that as a lawyer, she should not make such an assumption, but at this moment, even though she was eloquent, she didn't know how to comfort her. Friends.

With such a heavy heart, and having slept with the window open and without a quilt the night before, Jian Mo had a fever that afternoon... But because she was preoccupied, she didn't pay attention to the source of her dizziness.

Just like that, after another sleepless but groggy night, Jian Mo's illness hit him like a mountain.

The next day, she held on and sent a text message to Xiang Wan saying that she was sick and wouldn't be able to go today, and then fell asleep...

Gu Beichen sent a text message to Jian Mo but no one responded, so he simply called her.

No one answered the first time. He called a second time with an obviously bad look on his face, but still no one answered.

Such a situation had never happened before, unless her mobile phone was not in front of her... Gu Beichen didn't think much about it, looked at the time, and simply went back to Lanze Garden to wait.

When he arrived at Lanze Garden, Gu Beichen frowned slightly when he saw Hyundai parked in the parking space. Then he dialed Jian Mo's number again, but no one answered.

"Maybe Miss Jian left her phone somewhere..." Xiao Jing felt that Young Master Chen was unhappy at the moment, and subconsciously wanted to explain to Jian Mo.

Gu Beichen didn't say anything, he just opened the door and got out of the car and returned to the villa... There was no one on the first floor, so he went upstairs to the bedroom.

After opening the door, the solemn atmosphere made his eyes narrow for a moment, and his eyes fell on the huddled figure on the huge bed.

Gu Beichen walked forward, with a gloomy mist on his stern face, just like the weather outside.

"Um……"

A soft squeak broke the silence, and Jian Mo frowned tightly as if uneasy, not knowing that she was still uncomfortable because of the nightmare.

The moment his eyes focused, Gu Beichen leaned over, and his long, strong, well-jointed palm gently landed on Jian Mo's forehead... The hot feeling made him frown instantly.
