Chapter 31 The dry leaf

At the moment, Gu Yan took the dry leaf. Thinking that she and Wen Yunfeng cared for each other in their childhood, but went their separate ways after growing up, Gu Yan felt very sad.

There were so many articles in the black bag. In the end, Gu Yan only took the dry leaf away, and let the butler throw away all other things.

Looking at Gu Yan’s expression, the butler thought to himself that how kind a girl she was. What a pity!

After saying farewell to the butler, Gu Yan stood under the eaves of Wen’s family. She glimpsed the rain which was heavier than before. Then she picked up her umbrella but didn’t open it.

She walked into the rain. At this time, she was just like a doll drained of gas, walking with no expression.

Occasionally, a few cars sped by. When a car drove through a puddle, Gu Yan was splashed with water accidentally, but she didn’t care.

She stopped at the roadside where she could shelter from the rain and would like to take a taxi. At this time, a taxi came in from a distance, stopped and asked if she wanted to take. After Gu Yan got on the taxi, a Lamborghini parked in the distance also drove away.

After Gu Yan got on the car, the rain that had been lasting for a long time finally stopped. The sun gradually came out, and drove the dark clouds away.

When the car passed the riverside of the city, Gu Yan asked the driver to stop. She didn’t want to return home so quickly and wanted to be alone.

The air was extraordinarily fresh after the rain stopped. Gu Yan stood on the riverside to enjoy such tranquility.

Since it was noon now, there weren’t many people in the street. It was just the time for Gu Yan to think quietly.

Gu Yan took that dry leaf out of her pocket and stared at it intently. Then she felt the lines on it using her other hand.

“Goodbye.” Gu Yan said to the dry leaf. Then she threw it into the river and watched the river taking it away slowly.

Gu Yan walked slowly to the chair by the river and sat down. Her mind was completely blank at the moment.

Suddenly, a woman sat down on the chair. Gu Yan caught the faint perfume from the woman and heard a familiar voice.

“What are you talking about?” The woman asked.

“Haven’t we already reached an agreement before? How does it come to this now?”

“My house must be decorated well within half a year. Now three months have passed by. You have promised to finish the decoration within three months before. Why do you suddenly say it is impossible now?”

“I don’t care. Stop prevaricating! I would never believe your excuse. We have signed the contract. Either you change the workers, or I will sue your company. That’s it.”

“Don’t say anything about understanding. Who will understand me?”

“That’s it. Reply to me as soon as possible.”

Gu Yan was brought back to the reality by the word “decoration”. It seemed that there was something wrong with the woman’s decoration of her house. Gu Yan turned her head to right and wanted to see who this woman was.

The woman wore a long red dress with a sunbonnet and a pair of sunglasses. Gu Yan couldn’t see her clearly and had to wait for her to hang up.

As expected, the woman hung up angrily and leaned back against the chair heavily.

“Hi.” Gu Yan spoke first.

The woman heard and looked at Gu Yan, and then took off the sunglasses slowly.

“You are… Gu Yan.” The woman didn’t expect to meet Gu Yan here.

Hearing that the woman called her name, Gu Yan stared at the woman and thought carefully about who she was.

After ten seconds, “Xiao Han? It’s you!” Gu Yan finally remembered her. The woman was Manla’s friend and she was a vice president. Last time, Gu Yan and Manla went to eat and met Xiao Han. At that time, she and Xiao Han had greeted and introduced to each other. Gu Yan seemed to forget her, but she never thought that she could encounter Xiao Han here and Xiao Han should still remember her.

“Why are you here?” Xiao Han’s anger dissipated a lot after she saw Gu Yan.

“I am waiting for someone.” Gu Yan found an excuse casually.

“Oh. I am just looking for a place to answer the call. What a coincidence! How is it going recently? I also haven’t seen Manla for ages. How is she?” Seeing a friend, Xiao Han became very gentle. It seemed as if the woman with a sharp voice just now never existed.

“We are all very good.” Gu Yan smiled.

“Oh. I just heard you were talking on the phone angrily. What happened?” Gu Yan changed the topic.

“Argh! I am so angry while talking about it. Before the Spring Festival, my parents said that they’d like to go back to China, so I bought a suite here and planned to let them live there when they came back. However, I never expected that the decoration company was so irresponsible and they told me that they couldn’t continue to decorate my house. They wasted four months and did nothing about the decoration. They piss me off.” Xiao Han was furious when talking about it.

“Decoration?” Finally, Gu Yan heard the word clearly.

“Yeah! I don’t know what to do now? It’s too late to find others to decorate, but that decoration company can’t arrange other workers. Argh!” Xiao Han was extremely upset. If the house couldn’t be decorated well on time, where would her parents live?

“If you don’t mind, I have an idea.” Gu Yan suddenly said.

“You?” Xiao Han looked at Gu Yan unbelievably. Did she really have a solution?

“I work in the field of interior design and I can help you.” Gu Yan had known some decoration workers in the past two years, and they could do this work.

“Really?” Xiao Han still couldn’t believe Gu Yan.

“Yes. I can help you decorate the house within two months. If you don’t believe me, I can also sign a contract with you.” Gu Yan sworn.

Xiao Han thought for a while, “Since Gu Yan was Manla’s friend, I wouldn’t be cheated. And now there was no proper method. Why not believe her?”

“Well, let’s go to the nearest cafe to talk about it in detail.” Xiao Han said to Gu Yan.

Walking out of the cafe, Gu Yan felt a little dizzy. At this time, Manla called her.

“How are you? Have you already left Wen’s family?” Manla checked the time and found that Gu Yan hadn’t contact her all the time.

“I have left there. We signed the divorce agreement, and then we will make an appointment to go to Marriage Registry to divorce.” Gu Yan touched her head and felt cold.

“Then why don’t you call me? You had promised that you’d call me at the first time.” Manla complained.

“Sorry. I forgot it.” Gu Yan didn’t want Manla to worry about her, but she really wanted to be alone.

“Did you go home? If you are still outside, I will pick you up.” Manla had taken a day off specially to accompany Gu Yan.

After telling Manla her location, Gu Yan hung up the phone.

Manla sent Gu Yan home. That night, it was no surprise that Gu Yan had a high fever.
