"Yitang";
He Yitang raised his hand to stop him, and when he saw him stop talking and walking, he continued, "I think Madam Gu didn't explain it to you clearly, so I'll say it again, the engagement between us, Gu Chaosheng and He Yitang, is off."
"Today, the two families have made the cancellation of the engagement clear in front of the neighbors. It's so late and there are no men at home. Sorry, we can't entertain guests. Please go back."
"Do you really have to be like this with me?" Gu Chaosheng said this with a hint of complaint.
He Yitong looked at him. He was an old friend, but in her heart, that old friend had already left with her father.
After a slight sigh, he said calmly: "You are so wronged, others think it is me who ran away from the marriage, and I am the one who is unfeeling. You are so concerned about this marriage now, but it is meaningless to me."
"I don't understand," Gu Chaosheng couldn't accept it, "You know how I feel about you. I never thought about breaking off the engagement. I just wanted you to wait for me. Can't you think about me? Why do you have to keep harping on the broken promise? Your aunt waited for ten years until your husband returned from studying abroad."
"How come it's meaningless to wait for you for two years, Yitang, I'm so disappointed in you. I thought that under the guidance of the teacher, you are not that kind of pedantic woman. I didn't expect that I overestimated you."
He Yitang lowered his eyes and said, "If it makes you feel disappointed, that's great."
"Gu Chaosheng, what do you think, comparing yourself to my father?";
"Well, you have your disappointment, I have mine. Perhaps, this is the sadness of the love in childhood that cannot last forever. Now that things have come to this, our two families will go their separate ways and have no more contact. You should also stop holding on to the past love and keep entangled with it."
He Yitang became calmer as she spoke, and Gu Chaosheng's anger gradually dissipated because of her calmness. He said in a calm voice:
"I promised you, sir, that I would stay with you forever. Please do not devalue the past relationship between our two families just because I broke my promise";
"Past affection?" He Yitang repeated these words, somewhat helplessly saying, "Yes, a long time ago, our two families did have some affection, but after Mr. Kong left Jiangzhou Prefecture, your family's true colors were revealed."
"After all, it was only because of your future that we met. How much sincerity was there in it? We lived next door to each other, and Mr. Kong from the north, thousands of miles away, sent a letter of condolence. Your family didn't even offer a condolence gift, let alone a greeting of helping hand."
"You broke your promise and didn't come back. I wanted to go south to find you and ask you about it. Your family came to the station to report the news. Was it out of kindness or because they were afraid that my going would delay your future? I still don't know. I said that all this is not important. I'm not blaming you for breaking your promise, but I, He Yitong, managed to hold on by myself during the most difficult time."
"So now you come back and bring up the engagement again. I don't think you value me that much, but you want to give yourself an explanation. You Gu Chaosheng studied hard and kept your promise. What you want to preserve is not the relationship of growing up with me, but your own reputation."
Gu Chaosheng smiled bitterly with red eyes and said: "So, this is how you think of me";
He Yitang calmed down and held back tears as he said, "It doesn't matter what is right or wrong now. I just want to stay by my mother's side and take good care of her. I don't want to think about other things, and I don't want to think about them."
"I understand." Gu Chaosheng turned around disappointedly and walked down the stairs one step at a time, his back looked very lonely;
He Yitang saw this and felt bad. He quickly closed the door and then started to cry.
Seeing He's mother coming out to look for her, He Yitang quickly gathered herself together and helped her into the room. He's mother put on her clothes and said, "Mother knows you are sad..."
He Yitang suddenly smiled, and said with a long sigh: "I am not sad. People are confused by the situation. Gu Chaosheng himself does not understand, but I know his family very well. Even though this marriage is successful, I am still frustrated. Mrs. Gu's temper makes no one feel comfortable."
"That's good, now that we have made things clear, from now on we can just live our own lives behind closed doors. I will always remember my father's teachings: you can lower your head but you can't break your bones. Mother, as long as you are well, Yitang will not be afraid of anything."
Mother He touched her hair, smiled and nodded;
"Sitian, wake up, we are here";
He Yitang opened her eyes, Liang Jie's hand was still on her head, she sat up and asked, "Where are we?"
"Hotel, didn't I tell you that we have a dinner party tonight?" Liang Jie said as she helped her tidy up her hair, opened the car door and said, "Get out of the car."
It turned out to be a dream. As soon as He Yitang got off the car, Xiaotong put the hat on her and said, "Put it on and pose so that it will look good in the marketing photos later."
He Yitang didn't understand what it meant, but he didn't take off his hat;
Following the staff's lead, the three of them walked into a room, only to find that quite a few people were already inside, with a screen separating two tables;
Xiaotong understood and put down her bag at the table outside. He Yitang also stopped. Liang Jie saw this and quickly pulled her to the table inside. Everyone greeted her with a smile when they saw her coming.
He Yitang just curled the corners of her mouth but didn't laugh. After she sat down next to Liang Jie, the dishes were served soon. She seldom moved her chopsticks, mostly listening to others talking.
In fact, she had not yet figured it out. In the era she was living in now, if it were not for Xu Zhiwei's memories, she would have found it difficult to remain so calm and composed, and she might have revealed her flaws long ago.
"Si Tian, is the food not to your liking?" the producer asked with concern when he saw that she ate little;
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on her. He Yitang was stunned for a moment and said, "No";
She spoke a little stiffly, and Liang Jie quickly added: "It's not that it doesn't suit my taste, it's mainly because I'm controlling my diet recently. Isn't there a fashion week at the end of the month?"
This reason is convincing, and the atmosphere suddenly became warmer. What is Fashion Week? He Yitang shook his head slightly, picked up the teacup and took two sips to calm himself down.
This scene was not what Gu Jinfan thought. The last time they worked together, she ate a lot on the set. In the hot summer, her assistant ran back and forth several times, causing many people to whisper.
In the second half, Xiaotong suddenly came over and whispered something in Liang Jie's ear, and then Liang Jie left with Qiao Sitian. Gu Jinfan was not wrong, the producer looked at Liang Jie with a bit of sympathy;
After the door of the box was closed, Liang Jie took several deep breaths to prepare herself mentally, and she also reminded Qiao Sitian: "Sitian, Mr. Qiao and his wife came all the way here to care about you, so please don't argue today, okay?"
Why did they have to argue? Aren't they their own parents? He Yitang didn't understand, but nodded and said, "I understand."
Unfortunately, Liang Jie didn't dare to believe it. After going downstairs, the three of them entered a private room. This one was more elegant than the one upstairs. There was also a yard extending out. There was a waterwheel built in the pool, but there were no flies or insects. It must have been carefully maintained.
Xiaotong helped her take off her hat and sat down on a chair near the door;
Seeing He Yitang's confusion, Xiaotong waved her hand to signal her to follow Liang Jie over;
A lot of dishes have been served on the round table. Although the portions are small, there are many varieties. After bypassing the light gauze curtain, I finally saw the person sitting next to me.
An elegant middle-aged man, who was well maintained, and even the woman next to him could not tell his age, saw her coming, the woman came forward and hugged her and said: "Good boy, let mommy see where you are hurt";
