Chapter thirteen willing to admit defeat

Gu Xiaobei jumped downstairs, jumping and saw Chen Shuang standing in front of her with a little sad expression, "Where have you been running? I haven't come to play with me for so long?" She rushed over and punched Chen Shuang.

"You're so embarrassed to say," Chen Shuang just turned around and removed the weight from her fist. She is worthy of being the daughter of a powerful man. "Why have you never been willing to look for me on your own initiative?"

Although the two of them quarreled like this, they both knew the real reason why they were no longer as close as before.

"I'm greedy, please invite me to eat Korean barbecue!" Gu Xiaobei looked like a scoundrel.

"I deserve it, I'll be greedy for you!" Chen Shuang said, pulling Gu Xiaobei towards her fierce Land Rover. The Land Rover in front of me seemed to have been driving for a long distance, covered with a thin layer of gray, but it still shines with a textured metallic luster.

Gu Xiaobei looked at the Range Rover in front of him, and then looked at Chen Shuang who was standing next to the huge Land Rover. Chen Shuang was wearing a white T-shirt, dark denim cropped pants, and a pair of flat-heeled canvas shoes on her feet. Her original short hair was straight to her shoulders, her face was not covered with makeup, her big eyes, and a nose was hanging. She could be a very standard beauty, but she had two beautiful thick eyebrows, which made her feel heroic.

But no matter how generous and sparse Chen Shuang stood next to Land Rover, she would look slim in comparison. "Have you seen those women driving sports cars? Like Porsche and Maserati, it is light and pleasing to the eye. Why are you doing a Land Rover?"

Chen Shuang pretended not to hear this sneer at Gu Xiaobei. The car suddenly jumped and drove away. Gu Xiaobei grabbed the back of the chair and glared at her. She was worthy of being a daughter who grew up in a gangster. She started the car with the same virtue as Li Haonan and others - tough.

The two walked into the Korean barbecue city. Chen Shuang was afraid that Gu Xiaobei would be too embarrassed, so she specially asked for a private room inside. Gu Xiaobei sat down in front of an exquisite and quaint square table, and swallowed as she looked at the shiny and seductive pictures on the dish.

"Xiaobei, I'm driving a Land Rover to see Zhao Zheng!" Chen Shuang suddenly said without any hesitation.

"Ah!?" Gu Xiaobei was startled and raised his salivating head, "You haven't come to see me this New Year, you are going to see him!"

After the Ruoyu incident, Zhao Zheng may have been discouraged, or perhaps because he knew that he had no place in this city anymore, so he found some connections and transferred back to their local high school in a county-level city to become a teacher.

Chen Shuang was very calm at that time. She never made trouble with her family again. Since then, she has never talked about Zhao Zheng. On the surface, she has started to study hard and live well, just like a different person.

But she had a knot in her heart from beginning to end, and the person who tied the bell must be tied. Chen Shuang, who is smart, understood this principle. During this Spring Festival, she drove alone to see Zhao Zheng!

"Driving to see Zhao Zheng yourself? Sister Hong and the powerful people asked you to go?" Gu Xiaobei knew how precious Sister Hong and Chen Jiaqiang were, how could he let her go on a self-driving tour or to travel by Zhao Zheng.

"They might have known it a long time ago!" Chen Shuang's lips curled a sarcastic smile.

"What do you know?"

"Zhao Zheng is married!"

"Ah! Zhao Zheng is married!"

"Zhao Zheng is also a real talent. He has now become the director of the teaching staff in his hometown high school. His life is pretty good. The wife he married is the teacher of his school." Chen Shuang looked down at the sizzling barbecue in front of him and took a deep breath.

The scene of Li Haonan and Anya being together suddenly appeared in Gu Xiaobei's mind, pinching Chen Shuang's arms to show comfort.

"Zhao Zheng was very calm when he saw me. Although the place where he lived was also a building, it could only be said to be simple compared to ours. Such a proud and arrogant person looked at me and said hello to me. Her wife stood beside him." Chen Shuang smiled at Gu Xiaobei, thinking about the wind and frost dyed on the corners of Zhao Zheng's eyes, thinking about the faint smile of his smile, she once again tasted the salty tears at the corners of her mouth.

"Xiaoshuang..." Gu Xiaobei looked at Chen Shuang like this, and his nose felt sore, but he couldn't say anything. She knew that Chen Shuang had only loved Zhao Zheng over the years. She had consumed too much emotion on Zhao Zheng. Over the years, Chen Shuang didn't know whether she was thinking about Zhao Zheng subconsciously or not meeting new feelings. Anyway, she came here like a jade-like person. Now she suddenly knew that Zhao Zheng was married, how could she accept it?

"Xiaobei, you know, when a woman wants to take a man as herself, her ideas will mutate at an incredible speed. I left Zhao Zheng's house that day and called him outside. I actually said to him stupidly: 'Zhao Zheng, let's be together, I will give you everything you want.' But Zhao Zheng refused on the phone very simply. He said: 'Xiaoshuang, please don't think about me anymore. I feel like I'm doing well now and don't want any more changes. Please take care of yourself.' After that, he hung up the phone decisively."

Chen Shuang, who has always been strong and tolerant, lay on the table and cried loudly.

I never thought about it, nor saw Chen Shuang crying like this. Her tears cannot be described. Gu Xiaobei's tears also fell down. Thinking of Li Haonan's unfaithful nature, looking at his heartbroken good friend, he cried heartbrokenly.

On that day, Gu Xiaobei and Chen Shuang, who were also worried, drank some wine. Later, the two finally regained their original optimistic and strong feeling. Gu Xiaobei said to Chen Shuang loudly: "Xiaoshuang, believe that as long as we have good hearts, there is no way to cut it over!"

Chen Shuang ignored her, took a sip of wine, and seemed to murmur: "If everyone's heart has a switch, with two switches on it, 'love' and 'not love', so that she will not fall in love with someone she shouldn't love, everything is controlled by herself, and there will be no worries!"

"Damn, what topics do TV series have? Romance novels are extinct, and my world is too boring!" Gu Xiaobei was really drunk and started to swear.

After dinner, Chen Shuang didn't dare to drive again, but she still took a taxi to take Gu Xiaobei, a poor man. When Gu Xiaobei was about to get off the bus, she looked at Gu Xiaobei's swollen eyes, stretched out her hand, and touched her hair comfortably: "Xiaobei, we must all be happy, everything will be fine."

Gu Xiaobei gave her a complicated smile, then opened the car door and got out.

"Xiaobei!" As if someone stepped on the tail, Chen Shuang exclaimed behind her, "I almost forgot something big!"

"What's the matter?" Gu Xiaobei turned around and looked at her in confusion.

"You don't be angry with me when you say it!"

Gu Xiaobei immediately knew what Chen Shuang was going to say, so he turned around and left, "If you know I'm going to be angry, don't say it!"

"My Uncle Li is sick!" Chen Shuang tried to break up with Gu Xiaobei and she wanted to tell her. Today, she was really shocked by sadness. When she saw Gu Xiaobei, she opened the gate. Even if Li Haonan was sick, she forgot to tell Gu Xiaobei that if she didn't say it now, the powerful person would be able to beat her when he came home.

Gu Xiaobei's heart seemed to stop and beat it suddenly. The sounds of everything around him seemed to disappear. After a while, he heard his voice floating out, "What's his illness?"

"It rained heavily a few days ago. He went to participate in a ribbon cutting. He was poured by the rain. He first caught a cold and then had a fever. Later, it seemed that it was pneumonia. Anyway, he is still in the hospital, which is quite serious. You go and see him!" Chen Shuang went to see Zhao Zheng during the Chinese New Year. He was not very clear about what happened at home. As soon as he came back, he heard that Li Haonan was sick. He went to the hospital for a look and was sent by Chen Jiaqiang to inform Gu Xiaobei.

Gu Xiaobei immediately remembered the scene of Li Haonan protecting Anya into the car. Anya was wearing Li Haonan's suit!

How much she cared about other women being close to Li Haonan! How much she cared about Anya wearing Li Haonan's clothes! She cared very much, cared very much! Just like the clothes with sharp thorns, it pierced into her eyes at a glance, as if she was going to blind her! Although Li Haonan is no longer her husband, she could not stand other women touching his things, no one can.

But there is no way to do anything else.

"I won't go to see him anymore. There will be no shortage of people around him...!" Gu Xiaobei originally wanted to say that Li Haonan would not lack women; she also wanted to say that since he was willing to protect flowers in the rain, it was worthy of illness for this reason, so that he would not win the hearts of a beautiful woman more; she also wanted to say that he deserved it, and that... But she didn't say anything about this. Even after drinking, she didn't want to let herself say this in the tone of a resentful woman, nor did she want to let herself appear in front of anyone as an abandoned woman, and Chen Shuang wouldn't do it either.

She turned around and looked at Chen Shuang with a faint expression, "I won't go see him!" She was willing to accept the loss. No matter how much she lost, no matter how seriously she was injured, who would she show her to herself?

"Xiaobei..." Chen Shuang called her, her tone revealing anxiety.

Gu Xiaobei unconsciously straightened his back and smiled faintly at Chen Shuang, his eyes revealing an extremely desolate look. Her expression really scared Chen Shuang. Chen Shuang stared at her eyes and watched her leave step by step.

...

Li Haonan lives in a very spacious and luxurious en suite ward, filled with flower baskets and fruit baskets.

Anya sat at the head of Li Haonan's bed and poured him a bowl of mushroom soup, "Brother Haonan, drink the soup while it's hot!"

Li Haonan was reading the newspaper, but he only lowered his head and said "um", and did not speak or drink soup. Anya has become accustomed to Li Haonan, who is so cold and indifferent these days. Li Haonan's temper is like this, and he is moody and difficult to get close to.

Only during the time she was sick did Li Haonan appear to be very kind and gentle to her. She put the soup down, sat on the sofa aside, picked up the newspaper on the coffee table, and looked around casually. The sofa was very soft and comfortable, and she fell asleep in a daze.

Li Haonan listened to Anya's uniform breathing sound, exhaled gently, raised his hand to look at the watch with some restlessness, and then turned his head to look out the window in a daze.
