Journey To the World of Film and Television

  Chapter 264 Gu Jiaxu's Fantasy Mountain ends

Taking advantage of the targeted poverty alleviation policy, Gu Jia quickly made a handover with the local officials after going to Xiangqian. For the expired organic labels of tea factories, the local officials gave the green light all the way, and wanted to quickly transfer this mess to Shanghai Investors who come take over.

  The two parties hit it off immediately, and within a week, the formalities of the tea factory had been resolved.

  With no worries, the next step is to face the problem of tea brand sales.

  During this period, Gu Jia took time out every day to talk with Xu Huanshan and Xu Ziyan on the phone, but Xu Huanshan's attitude on the phone made her feel a little wrong.

   Panic, guilt, and anxiety.

   It was as if he had done something wrong and was afraid that she would find out.

  Tea factory is important, but in Gu Jia's heart, family is equally important.

   When he learned that Gu Jia was back, Xu Huanshan was obviously even more panicked.

Zhou Ji and Ms. Si Teng broke the tension between him and Lin Youyou that day. With his IQ, he never thought about why these two people would appear in such a place. All he wanted was Gu Jia reaction to this.

  After returning to Shanghai, Gu Jia did not go home directly, but first went to Jiang Chen's coffee shop to find Si Teng and Zhou Ji, and asked about Xu Huanshan.

Before, she asked Chen Xu to help her keep an eye on Xu Huanshan's private itinerary. Although Chen Xu is Chen Yu's younger brother, he has been working as a driver for Xu Huanshan here. Subconsciously defend Xu Huanshan.

On Zhou Ji's side, he was telling the truth. He told Gu Jia the last time Lin Youyou and Xu Huanshan had a fight on the street and their interaction at the Yanjing Playground. the opinion of.

  Gu Jia's complexion became more and more ugly, her clenched and pale hands trembled slightly, and she looked at the coffee in her hand with tangled eyes. The rippling waves were like her heart at the moment, messy and disorderly.

  Siteng leaned against the window, lazily enjoying the afternoon sun, his gaze swept across Gu Jia's increasingly confused eyes, as if waiting for her to make a final decision.

"Thank you for telling me this." After saying these words with difficulty, Gu Jia picked up the satchel beside her and stood up suddenly. Perhaps because she was standing too quickly, her eyes suddenly went dark, and she stood on the table again. Gu Jia forced herself to laugh After a moment, he bowed his head and walked away quickly.

  It wasn't until her back disappeared into the street that Si Teng slowly retracted his peripheral vision, turned to look at Zhou Ji, and sighed, "I don't think she will divorce Xu Huanshan."

   "It's better to demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage. They were married for eight years. Although they shared joys and sorrows during the period, they didn't seem to have experienced any emotional hardships. Having this crisis may not be a bad thing for them."

  Zhou Ji took a sip of his coffee, rubbed the rim of the cup with his fingertips, and smiled lightly.

  Si Teng nodded slightly, as if he agreed with Zhou Ji's opinion.

Using the influence of the power of the red umbrella, Si Teng realized that the ambiguity between Xu Huanshan and Lin Youyou had only just sprouted. You can still be admired by young girls, but it's just the vanity of human instinct.

  The real shock was at the dinner party where he decided to cut off contact with Lin You.

   Xu Huanshan, who has been living under Gu Jia's wing, was directly shattered by Lin Youyou's series of remarks, which completely shook the relationship between him and Gu Jia in his heart.

  If she and Zhou Ji hadn't found him that day, or stopped Lin Youyou, I'm afraid Xu Huanshan would have completely fallen into Lin Youyou's emotional offensive, and then made an unforgivable mistake.

  For example. Physical derailment, golden house hidden beauty.

  Danger was killed in the cradle, and everything seemed to be salvageable.

   It just depends on what choices Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan make.

   On the other side, Gu Jia had come back, but she never came to see her, she didn't reply to WeChat, and she couldn't even get through the phone.

   In other words, Xu Huanshan couldn't contact Gu Jia anymore.

  A bad feeling came to my heart.

  Xu Huanshan rushed home nervously, only to find that the house was empty and Gu Jia had never been back.

  After thinking for a while, Xu Huanshan vaguely realized that Gu Jia might know something, so he quickly called Si Teng, suppressing his anger and asking her where Gu Jia had gone.

  With Si Teng's character, he ignored it at all, and hung up the phone before he finished speaking. When he dialed again, the phone was blocked.

   Finally contacted Zhou Ji, and learned that they didn't know where Gu Jia was going, so they were completely panicked.

Searching the streets aimlessly all day, from day to night, Xu Huanshan wandered around the world like a headless fly, until the streets were sparsely populated and the signs on the roadside gradually went out. Suddenly realized, could it be that Gu Jia had already gone home, and as usual, had prepared meals and waited for him to go back.

He got up and sat up from the flower bed, his legs were so weak that he almost knelt on the ground, the fantasy in his heart forced him to rush home, but the darkness after opening the door completely extinguished Xu Huanshan's desire to break through. delusion.

  All night, Xu Huanshan sat on the sofa holding his phone and waited all night.

  The spacious and empty mansion has never been deserted. Xu Huanshan, who was sitting on the sofa, recalled more than once the house they lived in before. The house was very small, not even a third of the mansion.

  But he and Gu Jia bought everything in the house one by one.

   There seemed to be long-lost laughter and laughter in my ears. I don’t know when this kind of happiness became so distant and so strange.

   He clenched his fists and slammed his forehead fiercely.

  Xu Huanshan felt extremely annoyed at this moment, annoyed why he indulged in the vanity of being admired by little girls, and wavered his feelings for Gu Jia.

   After hitting it several times, there was only a dull sound echoing in the dimness in the room.

  In Xingcheng, Hunan Province, thousands of miles away, Gu Jia walked aimlessly in an unfamiliar city, looking back at the bustling streets.

  Eating noodles alone, shopping alone, doing things she hasn't done for a long time.

  Suddenly, she wanted to get drunk alone.

In a corner of the bar, a young man with long hair played an unknown folk song. Gu Jia sat on a high stool in front of the bar, struck a match with a match, lit a cup of candle, and then lightly blew it out. Light it up, blow it out again, and it goes on and on like this. Watching the smoke swirl around is meaningless, but it can kill time.

  A young man in a sweater sat down next to her: "I see that you have a lot of wishes, and you blow them back and forth several times."

  Gu Jia didn't look at him, but lit a match again on his own, and said casually, "How much wine do you want to sell tonight?"

   "I'm not a wine holder." The young man explained quickly after hearing this.

  Gu Jia then turned to look at him, held the candle that was just lit, and did not blow it out again, "Then are you serious about chatting with my sister?"

  The young man laughed and said, "Haha... Anyway, it varies from person to person. Anyway, no one here cares about age."

   "If you want to drink, I'll treat you." Gu Jia turned around and put the candle back into the candlestick. The young man said with a smile, "So, what else do you want to drink? I'll treat you."

   Gu Jia just took another look at the other party, seeing his youthful smile, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's really nice to be young, who doesn't like it?"

   "Then do you like me?" The smile on the young man's face became brighter, and he wanted to clink glasses with Gu Jia, only to find that the other party had put down the glass.

   Gu Jia didn't hear what the other party said,

   That sentence of emotion is actually speaking to myself.

  Looking left and right, there are men and women in the bar in pairs, like Cinderella in a fairy tale who is attending a dance, but their dance will not end until dawn.

  Xu Huanshan did not physically cheat.

   This was what Zhou Ji and Si Teng told her, but if they hadn't stopped Lin Youyou and Xu Huanshan in front of the hotel that day, what would have happened, Gu Jia didn't want to think about it at all.

   Spreading her palm, looking at the ring on her ring finger, Gu Jia turned her head to look at the young man next to her again, shook her head slightly, got up and left the bar.

The young man shrugged his shoulders, and he didn't go forward to pester the girls ignorantly. In places like bars and nightclubs, it's your choice to strike up a conversation. Like a clown, he becomes a tool for the hot-tempered old hero to save the beauty, and he will lose face and face at that time.

   Back at the hotel, Gu Jia turned on her phone.

   There is a long string of WeChat voice messages. From three days ago to now, hundreds of messages have been squeezed.

   At first it was a flustered temptation, then an exasperated questioning, and finally a pleading confession.

   Gu Jia clicked on every item.

"It's been so long, and you haven't contacted me. These days, I can't see you at home or at work. The flowers at home are all dry, the fragrance in the bathroom is gone, and I can't find the phone now. When it comes to you, the house almost doesn't smell like you."

   Four full days have passed, and Gu Jia seems to have disappeared.

  Xu Huanshan squatted in front of the window with a slumped face, looking at the deepening night sky, paused for a long time, his trembling voice was choked with tears.

   "Gu Jia, am I really going to lose you?"

  Time passed by every minute and every second, and the darkness at the end of the sky turned a touch of fish-belly white, and the orange-red sunlight jumped out of the skyline and fell on Xu Huanshan's distraught face. In a trance, he picked up the phone again.

   Still haven't waited for Gu Jia's call back.

  The subtle clicking sound came from behind, and it was very clear in the deadly quiet room.

  The room was not as messy as imagined, the floor, tables and chairs were covered with a thin layer of dust.

Gu Jia walked into the living room, and saw a familiar figure curled up in front of the window at a glance, with messy hair on top of her head like a chicken coop, and the white hair mixed in it was a little more than before, and the back alone seemed to be much older .

   Walking closer, Xu Huanshan seemed to wake up from a light sleep, his haggard face was unshaven, his bloodshot eyes gradually focused from the confusion, he got up ecstatically, and hugged Gu Jia.

   "Wife! I was wrong, wife! Forgive me, please? Don't leave me, please?"

  Gu Jia was momentarily strangled by Xu Huanshan, and the unpleasant smell and familiar warmth made Gu Jia's anger, which had been mostly eliminated, dissipated a lot again.

   Just like Xu Huanshan's annoyance and reflection these days, in fact, when he went out to travel in a fit of anger, Gu Jia also asked himself over and over again, whether he should divorce Xu Huanshan.

  If Zhou Ji and Si Teng hadn't shown up that day, Xu Huanshan would have been really moved by Lin Youyou, and then left her in Shanghai, hiding her beauty in the golden house, and then physically cheated.

  No matter how she thinks, she will eventually divorce Xu Huanshan.

   But these things haven't happened yet. Xu Huanshan went to Lin Youyou that day just to persuade her not to insist, and dragged her luggage to send her to the airport.

   Although Gu Jia still finds it difficult to accept this point, it is at least much better than the actual cheating that makes her physically and psychologically uncomfortable just by looking at it.

  After all, before Lin Youyou appeared, Gu Jia had already helped Xu Huanshan deal with the green tea around him.

   It's just that the green tea is an employee of the company, and his methods are more than a step worse than Lin Youyou's.

"Stop howling, go take a shower first, it stinks to death." Gu Jia patted Xu Huanshan on the back, barely pushing him away, looking at the poor middle-aged man in front of him, Gu Jia lightly With a sigh, he lowered his eyebrows and said, "I've heard about Lin Youyou's matter, so let's talk about it later."

"I really have nothing to do with her!" Xu Huanshan was anxious when he heard that, and quickly explained that he went to Lin Youyou to persuade her to go back to Yanjing. She wanted to stop her thoughts.

  People often only know how to cherish after losing.

   During the days when Gu Jia left, all the wavering and dissatisfaction disappeared with the panic and uneasiness. Now thinking of what Lin Youyou said, Xu Huanshan actually recognized his feelings for Gu Jia more clearly.

  Because he really didn't want to lose Gu Jia.

  Gu Jia listened to Xu Huanshan's confession and explanation, and sighed softly. The reason why Xu Huanshan was shaken by Lin was actually figured out before he came back.

  Over the years, Xu Huanshan has had many suitors beside him, and among them there are many who are younger and more beautiful than Lin Youyou.

  Only this time, Xu Huanshan almost cheated because his character was too strong, and Xu Huanshan suppressed himself for too long, so Lin Youyou provoked his rebellious psychology.

   This is a conflict that Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan have been squeezing for a long time, and it is also a problem that she has never thought about.

  Her mother passed away when she was young, and Gu Jia was brought up by her father. Influenced by her original family, her personality became stronger and stricter on others and herself.

  The desire to control every detail cannot be adjusted overnight, but since Gu Jia can recognize this problem, it is impossible for Gu Jia to sit idly by.

   Looking at Xu Huanshan who was snuggling up on the bed and sleeping like a child, Gu Jia decided to make some changes.

  Receiving Ziyan from his father, the family full of cracks was pieced together again. It still seemed fragile, but it had a trace of resilience that it never had before.

  At least in Xu Huanshan's view, he was about to lose it, but now he cherishes it very much.
