Chapter forty-three(1/3)
On December 31, the last day of the year, the temperature was only two degrees Celsius.
The Gong Family Mansion is located in the south of Shencheng, more than an hour's drive from the center of the city, so Gong Cheng doesn't go back often.
The terrain of the deep city is a concave character. Most of the city is plains. When it reaches the suburbs, it gradually rises. As the road winds up, large areas of fir trees are dense and rich.
The trees are tall and straight, the asphalt road is quiet and flat, and vehicles are speeding in it. From the skylight, you can see the ever-rewinding branches and a gray sky.
When we arrived at the palace, the black carved door opened in response to the sound.
The car drove into it, but there was no sign of the house. With the terrain changing, the lawns and carefully carved flowers, the scenery along the way was low-key and luxurious. After driving two or three kilometers, we could see a huge European building.
The house was a bit old and well-renovated. The black tiled roof looked like new. The floor-to-ceiling windows and white brick walls were all decorated with festive decorations, ribbons, flowers, and balloons, as lively as a grand ceremony.
The car stopped beside the large circular fountain, and the driver came to open the car door.
Yu Nan followed Gong Cheng out of the car, and then he saw various luxury cars chaotic, vaguely noisy and loud voices, music came, and many people greeted Gong Cheng in the hall.
The mansion is as warm as spring.
After entering the entrance, the servant came up and smiled and said, "Sir, are back!"
Gong Cheng just nodded casually, and for a moment they became the focus of the hall.
The servant served Gong Cheng and took off his coat and hung it for him, and came to serve Yu Nan again.
Yun Nan wore a lamb velvet jacket outside today, which was a winter dress that he had just sent not long ago. This one was enough to keep warm. Inside was a slim white shirt with silk embroidered flowers on the collar and cufflinks, making him look tall and delicate.
The whisper seemed to be following Yu Nan. He didn't notice it at all. He blushed and asked others to help. He knew that since he came, he would be respectful rather than obey his orders. This is the elegance he should have.
"Happy New Year, Mr. Gong."
"Happy New Year!"
Along the way, Gong Cheng received many New Year greetings.
The ladies were wearing dresses and the men were wearing formal clothes, like a star-studded dance party, a scene that Yu Nan had only seen in the movie in the past.
People cast curious eyes at him, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Gong Cheng held one hand and said, "Don't be afraid."
Yun Nan felt a little relieved and nodded.
In the soothing music, someone ran down the spiral stairs "thump" and the people talking automatically avoided it. When they reached the end of the stairs, the man felt that it was not fast enough, so he simply sat on the wooden handrail and slid down, which was a bit perverse.
Gong Yiluo's white hair has been dyed back. He wore a black suit and tied a bow tie. He looked much more mature, but after landing, he was still as young and energetic: "Uncle! If you don't come back, I'll leave! My mother said that if you really don't come back, I'll let me come up to speak later, and I don't want to!"
Gong Cheng said: "I hope you? My sister-in-law is also in a hurry to seek medical treatment."
Gong Yiluo smiled and said, "She thought you were willful."
Gong Cheng refused to comment, and he never talked much.
It was dark and the New Year's Eve meeting would not start for a while. He had to say hello to some characters and go through the motions. Those in high positions were far less free than ordinary people imagined. Instead, they were more plagued by mundane affairs and could not help themselves.
"You're fine anyway, take Yu Nan for a walk." Gong Cheng told him, "Don't let him drink too much wine."
Gong Yiluo naturally recognized Yu Nan, and a smile flashed in his eyes, and nodded: "Pack to me. Yu Nan, let's go, I'll take you to the flower house, there are not so many people there."
Yun Nan glanced at Gong Cheng, and he had a premonition that he would have to follow Gong Yiluo all night.
This was impossible for Gong Cheng. Gong Cheng was the protagonist and had no clones. What's more, he asked himself to accompany Gong Cheng.
The man saw his uneasiness and reached out to touch his head, with a hint of doting: "Go. If you are hungry, take food."
Yu Nan sighed in his heart and followed Gong Yiluo.
"Yun Nan, do you want to eat something?" Gong Yiluo asked.
"No," said Yun Nan.
Gong Yiluo asked him again about some of them. When they walked through a long corridor, the people gradually became fewer and came to the glass flower room on the left side of the mansion. This place was connected to the mansion and you could see the scene on the other end of the corridor.
"I thought this was the place where Gong Cheng planted roses." Standing in front of an endless summer, Yu Nan reached out to caress the purple-blue flower group.
Roses, hyacinths, shrubs, cactus family, etc., are of many varieties and trees, so it is hard to imagine that they are in the same season.
The pebbles on the ground are spliced into patterns according to their colors, and there is a path that stores water under the table and flows gurglingly, which is so beautiful.
Gong Yiluo said: "That's a flower garden, it's still on the other side of the back mountain, far away. This is my mother's greenhouse, and she sometimes reads books here."
Yun Nan likes this place.
He looked around and felt that if the sun was shining, there would be another beautiful view here.
When he has the ability in the future, he will also build such a flower house, painting in it every day, doing handicrafts, etc. Maybe he can raise a dog. I wonder if Gong Cheng likes dogs, if Gong Cheng doesn't like it, then raising a lazy cat is also good.
Suddenly, Gong Yiluo changed his tone and pretended to be angry: "Yun Nan, why did you delete me? I sent a message halfway through, reminding me that I am not your friend, you are really good. I played the game well, but I turned my head and turned my back and refused to recognize others."
Yun Nan has forgotten about this.
After Gong Yiluo reminded him, he remembered that time he made up his mind to break up with Gong Cheng, which indeed made Gong Yiluo black.
Gong Yiluo is a self-professional person with a bad personality. Yu Nan also feels that he is not very authentic.
"I'm sorry." Yu Nan took out his cell phone, "Last time I thought Gong Cheng and I would definitely break up, so I deleted yours. I'll pull you back now."
Gong Yiluo looked at him for two seconds and curled his lips, "Forget it, I don't care. Anyway, you will break up in the future. It's so troublesome to add it."
Yun Nan: "...Why do you say that, we won't break up."
The New Year is coming soon, and it is not auspicious to say such words at all.
Gong Yiluo said heartlessly: "All things happen, do you know what is going on for a longer time than your lover? I tell you that it is a family member. No matter how long Gong Cheng is outside and who he is good to with, he will eventually come back home."
Yun Nan didn't understand at all and asked: "You are wrong to say that. Lover and family are different. Of course, everyone needs lovers, but everyone also needs family. After waiting for a long time, the two will be one, and there will be no conflict."
When Yu Nan spoke this, his face was serious and vivid.
Gong Yiluo had never met someone like Yu Nan. He was stunned for a moment and then said, "You are really different. No wonder my uncle has been with you for so long. But you are right, but it cannot be applied to our Gong family, because our family has never been married or domestic sales. It was not that no one thought about it like you before, but it was finally left alone."
"Before?" Yun Nan was puzzled.
Daogong Yiluo was talking about Gong Cheng. As for this before, he might have been Gong Cheng’s ex, Yu Nan suddenly thought of Louis.
Yun Nan can take it and put it down, and he will no longer eat Louis's dry jealousy.
"How many." Gong Yiluo sat on the table and pinched a daffodil and played with it in his hand.
Yu Nan frowned indeed.
Gong Yiluo was interested in teasing him and mentioned the old story again: "Call brother, call me brother, I will tell you how many of them are there, what is your surname and what you are doing, how long have you been with my uncle? I will tell you, how about it?"
Yun Nan closed his mouth tightly, and he didn't call this brother who was two years older than him.
Because he felt that Gong Yiluo was even more childish than him.
As he was speaking, someone shouted in surprise: "Yun Nan?"
The two of them turned around at the same time in the flower room and saw Feng Zirui and a female companion standing there, wearing suits and ties, obviously also here to attend the New Year's Eve.
"Why are you here?" Feng Zirui asked, and then he realized that this was unnecessary.
Feng Zirui said last time, because his uncle is Feng Yue, an executive of Shu and Tiancheng. He does know Gong Yiluo, but he is not very familiar with him. This time he followed Feng Yue to do things after graduating from college, and of course he also came to attend the New Year's Eve meeting.
Feng Zirui was surprised to see Yun Nan here.
He thought that judging from his reaction at that time, Yu Nan should not be with Gong Cheng.
Unexpectedly, Yu Nan was still with Gong Cheng.
"Crazy, do you know each other?" Gong Yiluo jumped off the table.
Feng Zirui looked at Yu Nan: "Yes, we are all students of Huxin Academy of Fine Arts." After skipping the past, Feng Zirui added, "Yun Nan is very famous in the school."
Yun Nan didn't want to say hello to Feng Zirui.
But last time Feng Zirui had apologized to him and gave him a helmet.
Yun Nan nodded to him, saying hello.
Gong Yiluo was interested: "How can you be famous? You are good-looking?"
Yu Nan was not a vase, so he glared at him.
Feng Zirui quickly won the honor for him: "It is one reason to be good-looking. More importantly, Yun Nan is very powerful. He also participated in the art exhibition of the Art Association some time ago."
Gong Yiluo didn't know anything about art and shrugged without comment. It was better to be more interesting than to be able to glare at him by Yu Nan when he participated in the art exhibition. He found that making Yu Nan angry was more interesting than making Yu Nan serious.
Yu Nan was surprised that Feng Zirui would say this: "How do you know?"
Feng Zirui said to him: "I went to see the painting exhibition. You painted it beautifully, and the reviews on the outside are very good."
After reaching out and not beating the smiling person, Yu Nan had to politely answer: "Thank you."
Seeing that Yu Nan obviously didn't want to pay attention to him, Feng Zirui only smiled, only he himself knew the bitterness.
Another wave of people who came to the flower room came in, and dozens of people were accommodated by the eldest wife of the Gong family.
People drank and enjoyed flowers, and this place was no longer a quiet place. Yu Nan took a step back to give way. Gong Yiluo was about to speak to stop him, but after thinking about it, he cunningly silently.
Feng Zirui knew that expression too well, which means that Gong Yiluo was about to make a prank.
Sure enough, when Yu Nan retreated for the second step, his foot suddenly stepped on a protrusion, and the water spurted out with a "splash", which made the female guest next to him scream.
