Gu Nianzhi got out of the taxi and looked up at the high-rise neighborhood.
The houses within the capital's Third Ring Road were about the same price as her apartment in C City's Fengya Precinct. The property management and exterior looked similar.
The neighborhood was enclosed and there was a security guard on duty at the entrance.
The surroundings were beautiful and the roads were clean and tidy. It was far away from the main road outside, so no noise could be heard. It was obviously a high-class residential area.
The private cars of the residents and visitors had other entrances. Gu Nianzhi had come in a taxi, so she had to use the pedestrian passageway. She had to check her ID and get permission from the homeowner before she could enter.
Gu Nianzhi looked at her watch. It was only 2: 30 in the afternoon. The weather was cold and gloomy. The clouds were thick and blocked the sun, but the neighborhood already had a strong Christmas atmosphere.
There were two large decorative Christmas trees at the entrance of the neighborhood. The trees were decorated with all sorts of sparkling decorations. The tips of the trees were dotted with a large five-pointed star. There were all sorts of small lights and ribbons wrapped around the trees. When the sky turned dark, the lights would light up for the most beautiful time.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the two Christmas trees with a smile and dragged her suitcase into the reception room. She said to the security guard at the front desk, "Hello, I'm here to attend the party in Room 138, Building 5. This is the invitation." As she spoke, she handed over the invitation in her hand.
The security guard took the invitation and looked at it. Then he raised his head and looked at her with great surprise.
The look in his eyes made Gu Nianzhi feel a little strange.
"Is there a problem?" Gu Nianzhi asked politely, "Can I go in now?"
"Oh, no, please wait a moment." The young security guard blushed and quickly went inside to make a phone call. He must have gone to ask for permission from the homeowner.
Gu Nianzhi wasn't in a hurry. She stood alone in front of the reception room.
She was wearing a classic Burberry horn-button jacket, a Hermes blue and violet cashmere silk scarf, tailored tailored wool pants, and knee-high boots. Her long legs were as straight as a line, and she was slender and elegant, with picturesque features.
The security uncle and auntie in the room exchanged a tacit look.
After a while, the young security guard came out and murmured to Gu Nianzhi, "The owner of the house is not answering the phone. Please wait outside for a moment."
Gu Nianzhi blinked her watery eyes. Her natural contact lens made the security guard's head spin. He didn't even remember what he had just said.
"No one's picking up? That's impossible! "Gu Nianzhi took out her phone and dialed Mei Xiawen's number.
Soon, Mei Xiawen's voice mail replied, "Hello, this is Mei Xiawen. I'm busy right now, so it's not convenient for me to answer your call. Please leave your phone number and something important. I'll get back to you shortly. "
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
As expected, no one picked up the phone.
What happened?
Gu Nianzhi looked at her phone in confusion, then looked up at the security guards. "May I ask if you can make another call? Look at the invitation, it says that the party will start at two o 'clock. "
It was already half past two. How could there be no one here?
The security guard was shy. Seeing that the other guards pretended not to hear, he went in alone and made another call.
This time, he came out after 15 minutes and spread his hands at Gu Nianzhi again. "I'm sorry, still no one's picking up."
"Then can you let me in?" Gu Nianzhi was displeased. "Why don't you send someone in with me? Then you'll know if I'm really a guest. That invitation isn't fake. "
The security guard smiled good-naturedly. "Miss, that's against the rules. We'll get a complaint if we do that. Please don't make things difficult for us, okay? "
The rules in this area were very strict. If the owner of the house didn't agree, outsiders would never be allowed in.
When Gu Nianzhi had been unconscious for a week, Mei Xiawen had repeatedly gone to see her. However, he had been stopped by the security guards in her neighborhood. Chen Lie had ordered the guards not to let anyone in to see Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and didn't make things difficult for them. She turned around to find a place to sit down.
A chubby middle-aged security guard walked over and shoved her roughly. "Get out, get out! This isn't a place for you. "
The security guard couldn't bear to see her like this. He turned around and went inside.
The security guard uncle crossed his legs and picked up a newspaper with both hands to cover himself.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at them and didn't say anything else. She turned around and left the reception room.
A row of holly trees surrounded the perimeter wall of the neighborhood, separating the road from the sidewalk.
Gu Nianzhi dragged her suitcase and waited near the holly tree not far from the entrance.
This road was relatively secluded, and there weren't many people coming and going. Most of the people who lived there had their own cars and entered from another entrance. Gu Nianzhi stood there for a long time and only saw two people enter, neither of whom she recognized.
After standing there for almost half an hour, Gu Nianzhi was starting to get annoyed. She took out her phone to call Green Tea Fang, but her phone was turned off. Then she called Little Temptress, but her phone was also turned off. Finally, she called Lady Cao, but she still got nothing.
What the f * ck …
Gu Nianzhi grumbled silently to herself. She took out her phone and started playing games.
Time passed quickly when she started playing games.
When she looked up again, she realized it was getting colder. Her hands and feet were numb from the cold, and the sky was gradually darkening.
The weather in the north darkened early in winter.
She looked at her phone and saw that it was already five o 'clock.
She waited for more than two hours …
Unbeknownst to her, as she waited by the wall at the entrance of the residential area, she could see this location from the bedroom window of Mei Xiawen's apartment.
Mei Xiawen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the corner of the room with a cup of hot coffee in his hand. He silently stared at the tall, beautiful figure standing at the entrance of the neighborhood, a trace of indignation and pride flashing in his eyes.
Haha, I'll wait at the gate for two hours first …
He looked at his watch and saw that it was already five o 'clock. If he didn't let her in soon, Little Temptress and the others would go out to look for her.
Mei Xiawen picked up his phone and called the security guard at the entrance. He asked pleasantly, "Is this the security office? I'm at Room 138, Building 5. Is my guest here yet? "
The security guard answered the phone, sweating profusely. "She's here, she's here. I couldn't get through to you, so I didn't let her in."
"Thank you, please let her in." Mei Xiawen put the phone away and turned to find Jiang Hongcha. "Gu Nianzhi is here."
Jiang Hongcha nodded knowingly. "I'll go get ready."
Mei Xiawen turned and walked to the living room. He smiled at his classmates who were having fun playing games. "Keep your voices down, everyone. Nianzhi is here."
"Oh! Nianzhi is finally here! "Little Temptress jumped up." Where? Where is she?! "
"She'll be right there. I'll go get the door myself." Mei Xiawen smiled as he walked to the entrance and gestured for everyone to be quiet.
Gu Nianzhi took the VCA necklace Mei Xiawen had given her and walked to his apartment.
The gift box on the necklace was intact. It was the same box Mei Xiawen had sent her. It had been wrapped in another box on top of the VCA necklace.
She entered the elevator and walked out to Room 138.
Gu Nianzhi tidied her hair and pressed the doorbell.
The doorbell chimed and the door opened quickly.
Mei Xiawen was wearing a cashmere cardigan and gold-rimmed glasses. He stood at the door with a smile and nodded at her. "Nianzhi, you're here?"
They hadn't seen each other for half a year, and Gu Nianzhi had grown up. The trace of childishness on her face had disappeared, and her comic-book-like face had gained an air of calmness. However, when she smiled, her red, curvy lips curled up like a seductive kiss.
Mei Xiawen turned his head away. "Come in."
Gu Nianzhi handed the gift box to him and smiled. "Hello, Class Rep."
"You're so polite. You're even giving me a gift?" Mei Xiawen snapped out of his daze when he saw the gift box. He reached out to take it and teased her.
Gu Nianzhi realized that his voice was unusually loud. She couldn't help but look at him, but didn't say anything. She left the suitcase in the corner of the room.
Mei Xiawen turned around with a smile and waited for her to enter the hallway before closing the door.
"Nianzhi!"
Gu Nianzhi's three roommates ran over and held her hand as they entered.
"Green Tea Fang, Little Temptress, Lady Cao. I haven't seen you in six months and you've all become more beautiful." Gu Nianzhi smiled as she hugged each of her sisters and kissed them.
A boy from her class rushed over and opened his arms to Gu Nianzhi. "Classmate Gu, I want a hug too!"
"Hug your head! Go back and hug yourself! "Little Temptress pushed the boy away and escorted Gu Nianzhi to the living room.
When they reached the center of the living room, Jiang Hongcha suddenly walked over with the gift box that Gu Nianzhi had just brought in. She blocked her way.
"You're Gu Nianzhi, aren't you?" Jiang Hongcha smiled good-naturedly, as if this was the first time she had seen her. "We can't accept this gift. Please take it back."
Gu Nianzhi froze.
It was the necklace that she had just given to Mei Xiawen.
The five-flower necklace from VCA was expensive. She wouldn't keep it.
"This isn't a gift." Gu Nianzhi said dryly. "I'm returning it to Class Rep."
"Is that so?" Jiang Hongcha smiled. She reached out and unwrapped the gift box. She opened the lid to reveal its contents.
Gu Nianzhi's heart immediately sank.
She saw that the gift box no longer contained the five-flower necklace from VCA, but a pair of Hugo-Boss men's underwear!
Gu Nianzhi looked up at Mei Xiawen, her expression calm. Her clear eyes stared at Mei Xiawen. He felt guilty, but he didn't back down. He smiled faintly and said slowly, "Nianzhi, I know you've been begging me for six months, but I don't think we're right for each other. I can't force myself. I'm sorry, but I can't be with you. " He wrapped his arms around Jiang Hongcha's waist. "Hongcha was my first girlfriend. She recently came back from abroad, and I realized that I still love her. Nianzhi, can you forgive me? "
The living room was silent for a moment.
The students' eyes darted back and forth between Gu Nianzhi, Mei Xiawen, and Jiang Hongcha. They were all excited.
Gu Nianzhi blinked and smiled. "Class Rep, what's going on between you and Miss Jiang? I don't understand it at all. "
Jiang Hongcha gracefully nudged Mei Xiawen. "Xiawen, Nianzhi is still young. Don't treat her like this." She then said kindly to Gu Nianzhi, "Don't be shy, little girl. Xiawen is easily embarrassed. If he's misunderstood you in any way, I'll apologize on his behalf …"
"Wait …" Gu Nianzhi made a pause gesture and looked directly at Jiang Hongcha. "Miss Jiang, are you the one who misunderstood me, or am I the one who misunderstood you? Don't pretend that this is the first time you've seen me. When you went to the United States on December 16th to look for me, and showed me photos of you and Mei Xiawen in bed, I already made it clear to you that Mei Xiawen and I were never a couple. If he misunderstood me as pursuing him, then it was purely a ploy to boost his social status. You wouldn't be so stupid as to believe it, would you? " As she spoke, she took out an envelope and shook it. A stack of photos fell out of the envelope.
