The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 248 He's Better Than You!

Some people say that time can make people forget many things, even some things that we thought we could never forget.

As the elevator descended rapidly, the whole person felt a little weightless, which made Eliza, who was staring at the beating numbers on the control panel next to the elevator door in a daze, recall some things that she had forgotten for a long time.

She will never forget that on December 12th, Christmas Eve, on her 24th birthday, she received the most painful and sad gift in her life, breaking up!

There was no reason, no warning, not even any psychological preparation for her!

That night was colder than now, and it was snowing. She specially put on the newly bought clothes, dressed up seriously for an afternoon, and booked a seat at his favorite restaurant where she could enjoy the night view of Paris, because he said that there could be She had a panoramic view of the beauty of Paris, and she also booked a romantic candlelight dinner.

At that time, the company they partnered with was in a financial crisis, and life was very difficult every day. No one liked the things he designed. Depression and depression occupied his soul, but she did not. She was still full of hope for the future. She gained confidence, because she believed that this man, who had the same name as French contemporary artist Rodin, would definitely become the best designer in the world, and she never doubted her vision.

Therefore, the objections of her family did not stop her, and even she, who has always been very conservative, because her parents divorced when she was young, which led to the concept of marriage and love being more important than anything else, has already planned to On this one night, she would dedicate her most precious everything to him, so as to prove her confidence and affection for him.

But this night, she didn't wait for this man named August, but just waited for a call.

Her mother called and told her that there was a man named August, for whom she was willing to give up everything, including her mother. Between her and money, status and fame, she chose the latter.

Sometimes men are very cowardly, so since that night, she has never met the man named August, and she has never received anything related to this man. It seemed to have disappeared from her life completely.

At the beginning, she was like going crazy, she was thinking about him all over her head, and she couldn't figure out one thing, why?
Could it be that money, fame and status are really that important to him?
Or, all along, I have overestimated my importance too much, and I am not as important to him as I imagined?Just a woman who can be thrown away anytime, anywhere?
She didn't return home and her mother's side as her mother hoped, because she couldn't stand all of this, so she chose to leave and went to her father's hometown in the Netherlands, where she continued her studies and continued to spend her time in this way. Ten thousand healing potions to soothe your wounded soul.

Thinking of this, there was a touching smile on the corner of Eliza's mouth, but it was very cold, a bit like laughing at her own weakness back then, because if she remembered correctly, she also took the elevator down that night, The feeling of weightlessness made her almost fall over, and that night, she cried so much that she almost went blind.

If it happens again, how can I cry for such a man again?

With a jingle, the elevator arrives.

As the elevator doors slowly opened, Eliza, who was about to step out, was startled by the man standing in front of the elevator, and the man seemed to be shocked by the woman in the elevator door that suddenly opened. He was frightened, unprepared, and his face turned pale.

He used to be very white. In the past, Eliza thought his whiteness was a kind of charm, but now it seems that it is a kind of sickness.

A man should be a little bit masculine, a little bit tolerant, and be able to carry women and families on his shoulders.

The two looked at each other face to face, without speaking for a long time, the elevator doors slowly closed, the man outside was startled, he quickly reached out and inserted his hand between the doors, fortunately, the elevator has the function of preventing hands from being pinched. It opened slowly.

"Long time no see." The man walked into the elevator and stood beside Eliza, standing upright, his pale face regained some color.

Eliza looked ahead, of course she knew that with his current status, it was not difficult to find a hotel where she stayed, so she was not surprised at all that he came to the door, she was surprised that she was not angry .

You know, in the first two years, she kept telling herself that if she saw this man again, she would cut him into pieces, and even take a knife to dig out his heart. It's still not red. For such a meeting, she imagined countless ways and words to torture him and hate him.

But now, when she suddenly met and met, she found that she didn't hate her anymore.

God, is the world crazy?Or is it not the world that is crazy, but me?
August didn't speak. He looked at Eliza. She was even more beautiful than ever.

In the past, Eliza was a well-known and stunning beauty in the Parisian social circle, but at that time she was young, talented and noble, and she didn't care about the world at all. She always said that she didn't like it. People, even the prince of Monaco, she is not rare, and as long as she likes people, even a beggar on the street, she will love.

And her biggest wish is to help her loved one realize the biggest dream in life!

Paris is a very realistic place, especially in the circle they live in, where only the newcomers laugh and the old ones cry. In just a few years, everyone thinks that the old man who was so popular in Paris and fascinated countless men The genius girl forgot.

Only him, never dare to forget!
There was a deathly silence in the elevator, Eliza didn't move, she looked at the elevator control panel, and August looked at her, as if he was looking at something he once had, but lost, and now it appeared again. The peerless treasure in front of him was the same, but he couldn't say anything, and finally he could only hesitate, "Recently... How about it?"

Eliza opened her small mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but closed it again.

Such a slight movement, in August's eyes, was so beautiful and moving, it pulled the deepest string in his heart, and it was still playing for a long time, and he couldn't be calm for a long time.

"Let's find a place to sit down..." August finally mustered up the courage, but in the end he begged a little, "...how about?"

This time Eliza turned her head directly and looked at the man with a frosty face, expressionless, "Aren't you afraid?"

The corner of August's mouth twitched, obviously not knowing how to answer.

Yes, he has always been contradictory all these years. He is afraid of seeing her, but he also hopes to see her. These two contradictory feelings have always been entangled and tormented in his heart, and he feels very painful.

This time he finally saw Eliza again. He found that after so many years, many things were not as he imagined. She looked very calm, as if she had no anger at all, was it because of that man named Ye Qiu?

He used to be afraid of being beaten and scolded, because he is now a famous figure in Paris. If he is beaten and scolded, if it spreads, he will become the laughing stock of the whole world. Scolding, his heart felt even more uncomfortable, as if he had lost something very, very important.

Some things, before he sees them again, he can still feel that he owns them, but when he sees them, he finds that he has lost them.

The two finally came to the hotel's coffee shop, ordered a cup of coffee each, and sat down at a seat near the window.

"What is your relationship with Ye Qiu?" August finally couldn't hold back the silence and asked.

He had heard of Ye Qiu, that luxurious wedding of the century that attracted the attention of the whole world, especially Ye Qiu's public proposal after winning the Champions League final, which was regarded by countless young people as the most romantic event in the world Countless women prayed one after another that they could also meet a man like Ye Qiu.

Seeing Eliza and Ye Qiu being so close yesterday, August always felt a bit sour. He was very aware of Eliza's haughty personality. Being Ye Qiu's lover was not something she could accept, but seeing them yesterday So close, what is their relationship?
"Is this important to you?" Eliza's tone was still indifferent. After she finished speaking, the corners of her lips curled up, "I've heard a lot about you, why? Suddenly I like women again ?” The words were full of sarcasm.

If someone else said that, August must have slapped him, but when Eliza said that, he could only smile wryly.

Eliza Moon, this is an eternal hurdle in his heart, which he cannot cross, forget, erase, or shake off!

"Are you afraid of me asking this question?" After August smiled wryly, he suddenly noticed something in Eliza's eyes. He knew Eliza very well, even after so many years, he still understood her , especially when she is lying and trying to cover up something, there will always be a very subtle twinkle in her eyes.

Eliza stared at him coldly, without speaking.

But for August, not speaking is tantamount to acquiescing.

Suddenly, he understood why she didn't hate herself anymore!
Because, to her, she is not important at all. In her heart, someone is more important than him!
When a woman loves a man with all her affection, it is impossible for her to hate another man.

From love to hate, the reason for hate is because there is still love, without love, there will be no hate.

This was definitely not the news that August wanted to hear. His face became very white again, sickly white and bloodless.

"Stop meddling in my affairs, and worry more about your body!" Eliza still sneered.

Anyone who has been in the circle knows that August's sickly whiteness is not just weakness, but also drugs.

"Does he know?" August took a deep breath, letting himself recover a little blood.

"It's none of your business!" Eliza was still very cold.

After hearing this, August shook his head and smiled wryly, "Even... just as a friend, can't you just care about it?"

"Yes!" Eliza replied without hesitation, "I never like other people meddling in my affairs, before and now."

August was not angry, because facing Eliza, he couldn't get angry at all. He just asked with a sour wry smile, which even he himself thought was stupid, "What attracts you to him? It's worth it. For him?"

Eliza looked at August with disdain in her eyes, "He has many, many, many shortcomings, but he has one thing that is definitely better than you, that is, he is braver than you!"

"Brave?" August murmured the word again, somewhat regretfully.

"When you encounter difficulties, you will blame others and give up on yourself, but he is as confident and strong as ever, trying to find a solution; when you are questioned, you choose to endure, but he dares to resist; with you, I feel like a nanny taking care of children, and with him, I feel like he is an umbrella for me to protect me from the wind and rain. For me, he dares to shake his fist at a man who is several times bigger than him ,You dare?"

The corners of August's mouth twitched a few times, but he didn't speak, because these were his shortcomings and his weaknesses.

In fact, when he and Eliza were together, the latter was the backbone, and he seemed more like a vassal.

When a woman is a strong woman in front of herself, but gentle like a lamb in front of other men, as a man, shouldn't she reflect on herself, why is this so?
"The best thing about him compared to you is that even though he has gone from a no-name kid back then to today's success, he seems to have changed a lot, but in his bones, he is still Ye Qiu. You can still give up everything for something without hesitation like you did back then!"

This is also August's biggest heart disease, because he gave up his love for money, fame and status.

Over the years, he has made countless excuses for himself, for example, that woman is so strong that he has to listen to her in everything, as if only she is right and everyone else is wrong in the whole world.

Also, that woman is extremely conservative and has marriage phobia. After two years of dating, she won't let herself touch except holding hands. Isn't it weird that such a woman appears in Paris and fashion circles?
He can find a lot of reasons and attribute all the responsibility to Eliza, but he can't lie to himself, so over the years, he has to resort to other ways and means to force himself to forget these wrong things Memories I would like to recall.

"It seems...he treats you very well!" August said in frustration, "but his wife..."

"You don't need to care about these!" Eliza interrupted him, preventing him from continuing and asking.

After a pause, she took a deep breath, "August." This was the first time she called that name in so many years.

"I used to hate you very much, but now I don't hate you anymore, but I don't want to have anything to do with people like you, so from now on, I hope that we will not meet again, and don't force me to hate again you!"

After saying these words, Eliza lost the coldness she had before, but she was still emotionless, because she put all her feelings on others.

When did it start, she didn't know, maybe it was the day when he swung his fist at Huizinger and knocked the Dutchman down in front of Eliza; or it was that dark night , they were on the Lelystad embankment, she closed her eyes, opened her arms, and put everything including her life in his hands, just like the heroine in the Titanic, embracing the IJsselmeer. .

Or the day he decided to leave Ajax, under the Arenal Stadium, he told her that between coaching Barcelona, ​​success, and her, he would always choose without hesitation she.

or……

She didn't know, really didn't know.

I believe that if it wasn't for August suddenly appearing in front of her, when she suddenly realized that she couldn't hate at all, she would never have discovered this secret that was deeply hidden in her heart.

Some loves are so obvious and vigorous that they attract the attention of the whole world; some loves are hidden so deep that even the parties themselves don’t know about it, and they don’t realize it. They only discover it suddenly after encountering some things. The presence.

It turns out that you have replaced him forever without realizing it!
Eliza's head was full of thoughts about Ye Qiu, thinking about all the things she had with Ye Qiu in the past, her head was a little confused, and she couldn't even summon up the energy to say goodbye when August left. , she was thinking of Ye Qiu.

So, when Ye Qiu suddenly appeared in front of her, she was taken aback, her pink face was as red as a tomato, her heart was beating extremely fast, and she was so flustered that she seemed to have taken off her clothes and stood in front of Ye Qiu. In front of Ye Qiu, she didn't know why, she completely lost the composure and composure in front of Ye Qiu.

"Are you sick?" Ye Qiu sat down in front of her carelessly, and reached out to cover her forehead.

When her hands touched her pink forehead, Eliza couldn't help clenching her fists nervously. She completely lost her strength. She just stared helplessly at the concerned Ye Qiu in front of her. She completely lost her mind. .

"I don't have a fever!" Ye Qiu muttered, and retracted his hands, "Why are you nervous if you don't have a fever?"

Eliza was so rare that she didn't talk back?

This made Ye Qiu feel strange, because in the past, this girl would definitely retaliate directly, and even hit Ye Qiu a few more times to retaliate, but today it looks a bit abnormal?

It must be because of the man who just left!
Ye Qiu was certain in his heart that when he just walked into the coffee shop, he happened to see the man he met at the TV station headquarters last night walk into the elevator. He has always had a good memory, especially when facing men who are more handsome than himself, he I will never forget it.

"Who was that man who came to look for you just now?" Ye Qiu asked.

Eliza picked up a cup of coffee absent-mindedly. When she heard it, she accidentally shook her hand and poured it out.
