Chapter 17 - Suffering, Only Wanted to Avoid

Jian Mo suddenly regained her senses, and anxiously cleaned up her broken thoughts. Looking around, she realised that she was at the entrance of the office, "Opened."

Xiang Wan walked forward with a face full of worry: "Sis Mo, are you alright?"

Jian Mo smiled and shook her head, "I'm fine, I was just thinking too much …" With that, she turned and returned to the office, planning to take the elevator to Underground parking lot.

Xiang Wan looked at Jian Mo's back in this manner, her mouth slightly pursed into a smile, as she sighed deeply … Ever since she entered the company for her internship on the first day following Jian Mo, she had felt that this senior sister had a story to tell.

Others might not know, but she had heard the story of Chu Zixiao and his senior while she was in school … The rumors had spread like wildfire, to the point that, after they had left the school one after the other, they would occasionally hear someone bring it up.

When Ding Dang talked about her heartbreak at that time, for some reason, her first thought was that it was related to Chu Zixiao …

"Sigh, love in a foreign land is indeed a tragic ending." Xiang Wan muttered helplessly, she shrugged her shoulders and turned to leave.

Jian Mo drove the car back to Lanzhou Garden. Without eating anything, she threw herself onto the bed after going upstairs. She didn't know when she fell asleep.

In the dream, she went back to two years ago, when her father's construction company was fine and her brother was not obsessed with gambling … Although their family wasn't rich or powerful, they were always happy and happy.

Later on, she once again dreamt of her first meeting with Chu Zixiao … At that time, she was dragged by his good friend Li Xiaoyue to listen to his lessons. After the incident with the Black Dragon, she had never grown tired of meeting him after a thousand years.

The wind blew in through the open window. It was already the end of summer and the night wind of Luo City was a little chilly. As he slid across Jian Mo's face, he didn't know when the tears had finally broken out and chilled her heart.

When he woke up, it was already 5 o'clock in the morning of the second day.

When he woke up from the night's worth of dreams, Jian Mo had not remembered much of it, and had only left behind a heart full of grief that he could not shake off …

He wanted to get up and take a bath, but just as he sat up, he felt dizzy, as if there was a ball of lead rolling back and forth in his head.

Jian Mo closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths before finally being able to calm down a bit … Holding on to her tired body, she got up and went to the bathroom.

After taking a shower, his spirit was much better, but he still felt weak all over.

Because it was still too early for work time, Jian Mo curled up on the sofa and looked outside the window with the cleanliness of the floor, gradually appearing to be in a trance …

After an unknown amount of time, Jian Mo finally withdrew her gaze, took out her phone, and sent a message to Li Xiaoyue: Xiao Yue, he's coming back.

Without much words, just a few words... But it revealed Jian Mo's worry and fear, as well as her sorrow.

After sending this short message, Jian Mo kept her position of hugging her knees and looked out of the window. Seeing the arrival of a new gloomy day, she did not slow down her arrival because of her grief.

Some wounds think that if you don't touch them, it will not hurt. It turns out … She had always been deceiving herself.

When Li Xiaoyue called, it was already noon. Now she had risen to prominence in the legal world. He had recently taken on a criminal defense case, but he was busy with black and white.

"Girl, what's the meaning of your text message?" Li Xiaoyue's voice was capable and calm, completely showing through the disease he was suffering from.

Jian Mo stood at the window, watching the rows of tall buildings become a blur from the drizzle. "He's coming back …" It was still this line.

"Why is it so sudden?" Li Xiaoyue was a little doubtful, "We haven't received any news yet."

The Chinese Chu Zixiao was now truly a shining star in the legal world.

He had been abroad for two and a half years, and his name had already spread far and wide. If such a person were to return, wouldn't the Doggy in the country be in an uproar?

Jian Mo lowered her eyes. She too, hoped that it was fake … But, how could Gu Beichen lie? In the end, Zixiao was his nephew, the first thing his family knew, was it not normal for him?

Sensing Jian Mo's silence, Li Xiaoyue frowned. She knew what her good friend's situation was, "What do you want to do?"

Li Xiaoyue went silent for a moment, and said in the end, "Girl, sooner or later, I'll have to face it … From the moment you found out about his relationship with Gu Beichen, you had already predicted this day, didn't you? "

Jian Mo's mood became even heavier. It was one thing to predict it, but she didn't dare to face it now.

"It has already been two years. Maybe... "Perhaps he has already put it down?" Li Xiaoyue felt that being a lawyer, he shouldn't have made such a hypothesis, but even with her glib tongue, he didn't know how to comfort his good friend.

With such a heavy heart, coupled with the fact that the window was opened the night before with no blankets, Jian Mo had a fever that afternoon … However, because she had something on her mind, she didn't notice what the dizziness was coming from.

Just like this, after another night of sleepless yet drowsy conditions, Jian Mo fell ill like a landslide.

The next day, she supported herself and sent a message to Xiang Wan saying that she wouldn't be going today if she was sick, and then fell asleep …

After Gu Beichen sent a message to Jian Mo, there was no reply, so he called.

The first time, no one picked up. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood, so he tried again, but still no one picked up.

This kind of situation had never happened before, unless her phone wasn't following behind her … Gu Beichen did not think too much into it. Looking at the time, he decided to go back to the Lanzhou Garden to wait.

When he arrived at Lanzhou Garden, Gu Beichen saw that the modern man had stopped in his car, and frowned slightly. Then, he dialed Jian Mo's number, but still no one picked up.

"It's possible that the Miss Jane's phone is somewhere …" Xiao Jing felt that ChenShao was in a bad mood and subconsciously wanted to explain for him.

Gu Beichen did not speak, he just opened the door and got off the car, returning to the villa. There was no one on the first floor, so he went straight up to the bedroom.

When he opened the door, the heavy atmosphere caused his eyes to focus slightly. His gaze landed on the huge bed, on that curled up figure.

Gu Beichen walked forward with a face as cold as an eagle, his expression filled with a hazy mist, just like the weather outside.

"Mm …"

A soft and soft moan broke the silence. Jian Mo seemed to be tightly furrowing her brows, not knowing whether it was because of the nightmare or the discomfort she felt.

Gu Beichen's eyes focused on that moment as he bent his body over. His slender and powerful, bone-sharp palm gently landed on Jian Mo's forehead … The scalding feeling made him instantly frown.
