EBE Chapter 186 Curse (10)
Chapter 186 Curse (10)
By the time Gu Chang arrived at Yating Pavilion on his shared electric scooter, it was already 6:15 in the evening.
Gu Chang's face looked a little cold. He didn't like being late, especially when he had agreed on a specific time with someone.
"Wait, sir. You can't park the shared e-scooter here." A tall young man in a black suit came over and stopped Gu Chang from getting off the e-scooter.
Gu Chang glanced at the location of the gate of Yating Pavilion. He just parked his electric scooter on the street opposite the gate, so it shouldn't interfere with their business.
"Sir, please go somewhere else. If you park here, you will be charged 20 dollars for dispatch fees." The young man continued.
Gu Chang stopped the car and paused, then rode his electric scooter again to a farther street.
After Gu Chang parked the shared electric scooter, he realized that he had lost all sense of existence.
But the man came straight over and spoke to him.
Gu Changxian, who couldn't figure it out, sent a message to Zhang Xueyue.
"Gu Chang: I'm late, sorry. I'm heading towards Ya Ting Pavilion now."
It seemed that Zhang Xueyue had been looking at her phone and replied to Gu Chang very quickly.
"Mi Xiaoyue: It's okay, come quickly, I'll pick you up at the door."
After a while, Gu Changyou appeared on the street opposite the gate of Yating Pavilion.
Seeing Gu Chang walking towards the gate of Yating Pavilion, the young man came towards Gu Chang.
"Sir, this is Yating Pavilion. You need an appointment to enter. Do you have an appointment?" The young man spoke politely. He stood in front of Gu Chang and said with a smile.
"He does, he is my friend." At this time, a clear and pleasant female voice sounded beside.
A beautiful woman with long straight light blonde hair walked out from behind the young man.
Zhang Xueyue wore a well-cut and fashionable knee-length skirt. The beige skirt was embroidered with silver thread, which was faintly visible under the light.
"Let's go, Gu Chang." Zhang Xueyue stepped forward and took Gu Chang's arm, and a charming fragrance followed.
Gu Chang was a little unaccustomed to physical contact with others. He held Zhang Xueyue's wrist and whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm not used to being hugged like this."
"Ah, if you don't do this, the people outside won't let you in." Zhang Xueyue said with a smile, her carefully applied makeup neither too ostentatious nor too plain. She said this just to tease Gu Chang, and then she let go of his hand.
As the two walked into Yating Pavilion side by side, a pure black Maybach stopped steadily in front of the gate of Yating Pavilion.
The car door was respectfully opened by a middle-aged man wearing white gloves and a black suit. The first person to get out was a man wearing a colorful shirt, white trousers, and star-shaped pink gradient sunglasses. He had bright red hair and a silver skull earring on his right earlobe.
"I say, can I eat my fill here?" The red-haired man laughed wantonly, with his hands in his pockets as he looked at Fu Mingdong who came out from the other side.
Fu Mingdong's clothes were relatively simple, a loose white short-sleeved shirt and black trousers.
"I'll treat you tonight." Fu Mingdong stepped past the red-haired man and walked into the door.
The waiters on both sides bowed their heads respectfully and called out, "Hello, Mr. Fu."
The red-haired man was called Lin Tejia. He quickly took a big step forward, put his arm around Fu Mingdong's shoulders, and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, Mr. Fu."
Fu Mingdong ignored him and just stared at the backs of a man and a woman walking up to the second floor in a daze.
"What's wrong? Who do you like? I'll get it for you." Lin Tejia followed Fu Mingdong's gaze, but the person had already gone upstairs and he didn't see anything.
"This is not Germany." Fu Mingdong slapped away Lin Tejia's hand on his shoulder.
The supervisor beside him had already smiled and said to Fu Mingdong respectfully, "Mr. Fu, the private room you reserved is on the top floor. Please follow me with you and Young Master Lin."
On the other side, Gu Chang followed Zhang Xueyue to the second floor.
A straight path was paved with wooden strips, and on either side were black stones with grooves cut into them. A gurgling stream flowed from above, and white mist rose from the surface. On the side near the water, there was a small yellowish light to remind people.
When he arrived at the private room booked by Zhang Xueyue, Gu Chang saw a miniature mountain shrouded in clouds and mist in the middle of the huge round table.
The box is decorated in an antique style. Behind the round table is a screen with a landscape painting. Above the head are several palace lanterns carved with birds and beasts. The pale yellow light pours down, and combined with the rockery in the middle of the round table, it really has some charm.
However, Gu Chang felt that he had seen this kind of environment somewhere before. He did not take it to heart and turned his head to look at Zhang Xueyue. "Give me the bill after dinner."
"It's okay. Now you are my guest. Come, sit here." Zhang Xueyue smiled and gestured for Gu Chang to sit next to her.
As the two sat down, two waiters dressed in black and gold came out from behind the screen and poured a cup of fragrant warm tea for Zhang Xueyue and Gu Chang. After pouring the tea, the two waiters left through the small door behind the screen.
"No, I was the one who asked you out, so I should pay." Gu Chang looked at Zhang Xueyue, who was supporting her chin with one hand, and said seriously.
Zhang Xueyue smiled slightly, her full red lips shining brightly. "You can't afford it, Gu Chang. The minimum cost of a meal here is around 100,000."
"Just think of it as me taking the initiative to treat you to a meal after not seeing you for so many years. Don't refuse me again, or I won't tell you the secret I have on you."
After hearing Zhang Xueyue say this, Gu Chang had to give up this idea for the time being.
"You haven't changed, especially your face." Zhang Xueyue stared at Gu Chang's fair and handsome face, and continued to support her chin with her other hand. On her wrist was a custom-made expensive watch with a sterling silver strap and a pale pink dial, inlaid with sparkling round diamonds.
Gu Chang lowered his head slightly, his gaze falling on the steaming tea. "But I feel like I've changed a lot. How much do you know about the changes in me?"
"Chen Yinmi." Zhang Xueyue smiled and slowly uttered these three words. Her beautiful eyes were like cat's eyes, and her aqua-green contact lenses added a touch of exotic charm.
"I can only tell you that you've become what you are now because of her." Zhang Xueyue stretched out her left hand, admiring her pink and white manicure with butterfly patterns. "Other than that, I can't say."
"Why?" Gu Chang pursed his lips and looked up at her, "Why do you still remember me?"
"I thought you were going to ask why Chen Yinmi treated you like this, but I didn't expect you to ask this." Zhang Xueyue leaned back in the soft and comfortable chair and looked at Gu Chang, "I remember you because you forgot me."
"I'll try to tell you as simply as possible, Gu Chang. Because Chen Yinmi asked you to forget me, I was not affected by the curse and didn't forget you." Zhang Xueyue half-closed her thick curly eyelashes, staring into Gu Chang's eyes, and spoke slowly.
"Curse?" Gu Chang raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes, a curse. A curse called "forgetfulness". Do you think the curse is fake?" Zhang Xueyue suddenly stood up, leaned closer to Gu Chang, and lowered her voice.
"No." Gu Chang answered her seriously.
"It seems you've suffered a lot." Zhang Xueyue leaned back in her chair again and looked at Gu Chang sideways. She had actually noticed that Gu Chang had become very thin, and the white T-shirt he was wearing was washed out and even had several holes at the collar.
If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't take the initiative to find Gu Chang, Zhang Xueyue would definitely help Gu Chang escape from this sea of suffering.
After all, she once truly liked Gu Chang.
