Be in low spirits

Chapter 159 Reincarnation

When Yuanyuan grew up, Kong Zhixi was reincarnated from the Cave of Obsession into the Anjiang Gu family, a financial family.

Gu Jinluo's birth caused Mrs. Gu to die in the delivery room due to complications during childbirth. Mr. Gu did not even have time to look at the crying baby in the crib. He squatted in front of Mrs. Gu's bed and cried.

The child was brought back to the Gu Mansion, but Mr. Gu didn't even look at him. He stayed beside Mrs. Gu's coffin. The nanny and the housekeeper advised him to eat something, but he remained indifferent. The louder the child cried in the room, the more noisy he thought it was.

The housekeeper handed him a name that someone had calculated for him, hoping that he would name the child. He looked at Mrs. Gu lying in the coffin and said, "Su Xian loves hibiscus the most, and September is when the flowers fall, so let's name the child Hibiscus Fall. The day when the flowers fall is when her mother's soul returns to the earth."

The piece of rice paper with several names written on it in the housekeeper's hand trembled slightly. After a long while, he nodded and said, "Gu Jinluo, sir, this... I'll do it right away."

The second uncle of the Gu family looked at his brother's decadent appearance and knew that he would not take care of this girl. He could only ask the housekeeper to find a reliable wet nurse to take care of the child. Only then did the child calm down a little.

Mrs. Gu San looked down on her newborn niece and said to her son, "Look, luckily it's a girl. Lang'er, you have to work hard. In the future, this Gu family will be yours."

Gu Lang looked at his sister in the crib, smiled knowingly, and secretly made up his mind to take good care of his sister.

Li Li was reincarnated into the prosperous Ye family in western Beijing three years earlier than Kong Zhixi. The Ye family became very lively because of his birth and named him Ye Fan.

The Ye family has many relatives. In the west of Beijing, there is the third uncle who holds an important position in the government department, the eldest uncle who has been ups and downs in the business world, and the second uncle who died heroically. His parents are bigwigs in the field of science and technology. He was born the youngest in the family and was deeply loved by everyone. He developed a fearless character and loved to read military books the most, determined to become a general.

Mr. Gu, whose real name was Gu Zhiqiu, was a big shot in the financial field of Anjiang. Since the death of his wife Gu, he had devoted himself to the family business and ignored Gu Jinluo's life and education. He only held Mrs. Gu's hand and went to her grave to pay homage on her memorial day.

As they grow older, Gu Zhiqiu pays more and more attention to the training of Gu Lang. Gu Jinluo becomes more and more disgusted with Gu Lang because of her father's favoritism, but this brother always indulges her willfulness.

After high school, she applied to study abroad and studied cello. Gu Zhiqiu never asked about her studies. He only knew that she spent a lot of money studying abroad. He asked her to record every penny she spent, make a account book, and send it back to him for review every month. Gu Lang would send her extra pocket money several times a month.

It was cold overseas and there was no sunlight all year round. During the years that Kong Zhixi studied abroad, her skin became whiter and whiter. Her four-year study career finally ended when she was 23 years old.

Because she was preparing for the graduation ceremony, she hadn't been able to sleep well for several days, and she couldn't find a suitable dress. After a day of rest, she was sleeping soundly in the dormitory when the phone rang. It was Gu Lang.

She answered the phone in a daze, and couldn't help getting angry when she heard Gu Lang's voice. "It's early morning in China, right? Why are you calling?"

"Luoluo, are you busy with the graduation ceremony recently? How about I fly over to take a look?" Gu Lang was standing upstairs at this moment, looking at the moon in the sky.

"How many times have I told you not to bother me!" She hung up the phone impatiently and went back to sleep.

Gu Lang looked at the hung up call, not getting angry, and started looking through the plane tickets.

Two days later, Gu Jinluo received a courier. It was a white strapless dress with several pieces of white gauze folded on the chest, some lines made of pearls, and a hibiscus brooch. She threw the dress aside. She knew without looking that it was a gift from Gu Lang.

After waking up, she went to Chinatown, found a vintage store, took out her round fan from her bag, and naturally lay down on the sofa, and asked lazily: "Sister Zhou, where is my dress?"

Sister Zhou poked her head out from the corner and said, "Your requirements are so high, it's really hard to find one. But I found a tailor for you, and he made one for you."

"Oh, it's really done?" She sat up from the sofa and wanted to take a look at her dress.

Sister Zhou pulled her into the inner room, where the mannequin was wearing a green strapless dress with large and small white camellias embroidered on her waist from top to bottom. The lower body was made of a large skirt made of a large amount of fabric, and a slanted bow was folded into fabric on one side of the waist.

"Wow! It's so beautiful!" She couldn't help but exclaim. This was exactly what she wanted.

"Go and try it now." Sister Zhou reminded her.

After coming out of the locker room, Sister Zhou was also stunned. The light green color made her skin look whiter and her whole body seemed to be glowing.

"How is it?" she asked, turning around.

"It looks good. Come over early on the day of the ceremony and I'll help you with your makeup." Sister Zhou was very caring towards her because of Gu Lang.

"Okay." She turned around in front of the mirror a few more times.

"Will your brother come?" Sister Zhou asked anyway.

"I don't know. He seemed to have called me today and I told him not to worry about it. But the dress has been sent to you. Do you want to try it?" She went back to the dressing room and took off the dress.

"He sent it to you, not to me, so why should I try it?" Sister Zhou stood at the door of the dressing room, rubbing the door curtain with both hands.

"Wear it to my graduation ceremony. I'll bring it to you on the day of the ceremony." She stuck her head out of the locker room and said cunningly.

"Your brother is really not coming?" Sister Zhou still didn't give up. If Gu Lang came, she would be looking forward to it.

"Don't worry, he will come. He may even be on the plane now." After changing her clothes, she came out of the dressing room and picked up her cello.

"Then I will definitely go." After hearing the affirmative answer, Sister Zhou finally smiled.

He put his cello on his back, rolled up his round fan, went to the door, rode his bicycle, said goodbye to Sister Zhou, and went back to the school practice room to practice.

On the day of the graduation ceremony, she gave the dress sent by Gu Lang to Sister Zhou, put on her makeup, and took the dress back to school for rehearsal.

Gu Lang got off the plane and called her, but no one answered, so he had to take a taxi directly to the school. He was the one who sent people here when school started, so he was not unfamiliar with this school.

When he arrived at the auditorium, he saw her waiting in line for the rehearsal, so he sat in the audience and watched. During the years of studying at the school, she became more and more graceful, with skin like clean jade and a clear and beautiful jawline. If she didn't smile, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, which kept people away.

After she finished rehearsal, she finally noticed someone sitting in the audience. She stretched out her hand to greet him, shouting, "Brother!" Just like when he came home from school when he was a child, she ran towards him, but this time, she was standing on the stage and no longer ran towards him.

He smiled and waved his hand in response. She returned to the backstage and changed into her dress. Sister Zhou rushed backstage to touch up her makeup.

Gu Lang also brought food to see her backstage and said, "You didn't eat well because of the ceremony, did you?" He then placed the food boxes one by one in front of the dressing table and handed her the chopsticks.

"Yes, there is food. Just eat something when you are busy." She picked up a rice ball from the lunch box and put it into Sister Zhou's mouth.

Gu Lang just noticed that the dress he gave was worn by someone else, and asked, "Don't you like the dress I gave you?"

"It was custom-made for me by a tailor that Sister Zhou found. Yours looks too much like a wedding dress, so it's more suitable for Sister Zhou." She put another piece on herself.

Sister Zhou's real name was Zhou Mengli. She was Gu Jinluo's senior. Since they were both from Anjiang, they became familiar with each other quickly. At the beginning of the school year, she met Gu Lang once and fell in love with him at first sight. After graduation, Sister Zhou opened a vintage clothing store in Chinatown, thinking of returning to China together with Gu Jinluo after he graduated.

"If you mind, I actually brought other clothes that you can change into." Zhou Mengli said embarrassedly.

"Oh, it's okay, it looks good on you." Gu Lang smiled and said he didn't mind.

When the graduation ceremony officially began, Gu Lang and Zhou Mengli sat in the audience and chatted.

"Ms. Zhou, thank you for taking care of my sister over the years." Gu Lang was indeed very grateful to her.

"Mr. Gu, you're too polite. Luoluo is like my sister. What's more, you have helped our family with a lot of business matters, so it's our duty." Zhou Mengli said embarrassedly.

He took off his cashmere coat and put it on her, and asked, "What are your plans?"

Zhou Mengli grabbed the edge of the coat with her hand, feeling the remaining warmth inside, and her face turned red.
