Chapter 362 Let me know
Manla was so depressed when she saw the suitcase in the living room. During these miserable days, she spent all her spare time with Gu Yan. Although they were busy in their daily work, they had almost no secrets about each other and they were the closest person to each other.
However, although Manla was reluctant to say goodbye to Gu Yan, she knew exactly that it was so hard for Gu Yan to live in a city where she had suffered so much.
Manla went to the sofa, sat down beside Gu Yan and said, “Yan, when are you leaving?”
Looking at her dear friend, Gu Yan sighed and said, “I have to go in half an hour.”
Manla nodded but said nothing. She couldn’t help feeling sorrow.
After a while, Manla broke the silence. Looking at Gu Yan, she said firmly, “Yan, I’ll take you to the airport and see you off.”
Gu Yan held Manla’s hands and said with a smile, “Manla, you don’t need to do that. We will not part forever. Take it easy.”
Manla sobbed, “Yan, I don’t know when we will meet again next time.”
Gu Yan was so upset when she saw Manla being sad. No matter what happened, they always stuck together and helped each other in difficulties, so they were more than friends. The separation in this case also made Gu Yan sad.
However, Gu Yan did not show her sadness because she wanted to leave a good memory. She forced herself to smile and said in a relaxed tone, “Manla, it won’t take you long to Annan City by plane. You can see me at any time you want.”
Manla and Gu Yan had been sharing weal and woe for many years. She knew exactly what Gu Yan was thinking at this moment. There was a tacit understanding between them. Sometimes when one had not realized her inner thoughts, perhaps the other would have already known what she was thinking.
When she found that Gu Yan was trying to lighten the atmosphere, Manla thought she should stop being sad.
Manla lowered her head and remained silent for a while to control her emotions. She put on a smile and said, “You’re right. We can see each other whenever we want, but you have to promise me to keep in touch with me at any time. If you are in troubles, just let me know in time, or I’ll teach you a lesson.”
After that, Manla waved her fists to Gu Yan.
Gu Yan chuckled and said, “All right, I will take your advice. Don’t worry, okay?”
Manla said with a snort, “That’s more like it.”
Looking at Manla, Gu Yan said, “Manla, it’s time for you to find a good man to get married. I will not worry about you if someone looks after you. You are not a little girl anymore.”
Manla rolled her eyes and said, “I’m not interested in those boring guys. What’s more, if I marry someone someday, you will be alone...”
Manla suddenly stopped and apologized to Gu Yan at once when she found that Gu Yan was sad, “Yan, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to mention it.”
Gu Yan shook her head and said, “Never mind. It is now all over.”
Gu Yan laughed and said, “I still have so many issues to deal with. I think it is not appropriate for me to introduce a boyfriend to you. Alas, forget about it.”
Manla felt so sorry when she heard that, “Yan, I...”
Gu Yan held Manla’s hands and said softly, “It’s okay. I have figured it out. Marriage is involved in an equal social status, a matched economic strength and a similar family background, so it’s really hard for two people who have different backgrounds to get married even if they love each other very much.”
Manla knew that Gu Yan just comforted herself by saying these words. Actually, only Gu Yan knew how sad she was.
Manla didn’t know how to reply and felt sorry for Gu Yan. Gu Yan was a child bride and she made surrogate pregnancy for her fiancé but was abandoned by her fiancé mercilessly in the end.
She met a man who treated to her sincerely and her lovely child was close to her. But it was very difficult for her to stay with them. Now she was even forced to leave the city where she worked and lived in.
Manla didn’t know why Gu Yan had to suffer like that. Gu Yan not only was kind-hearted and considerate, but also did well in work. She was so unfortunate.
Manla hugged Gu Yan, patting her back softly, “Yan, take care of yourself. Let me know if you need me.”
Gu Yan nodded and thought that she was so lucky to have a friend like Manla, so she felt that she was not alone.
After a while, Gu Yan said softly, “Manla, I have to go.”
Manla sighed and replied, “Wait a minute. I’m going to change my clothes.” Then she prepared to rush into the bedroom.
Gu Yan stopped Manla and said, “Hold on. I need you to stay here because I don’t want to make another farewell, which will make us sadder.”
Manla was surprised by Gu Yan’s words and said, “Why? I will be worried about you if you go to the airport alone. I can help you with your suitcase.”
Gu Yan said with a smile, “It’s okay. Don’t treat me like a child. I am an adult and I won’t get lost. In addition, the suitcase is not so heavy and I can handle it.”
Indeed, Gu Yan only had a suitcase with some clothes and toiletries in it. Yesterday, when helping her pack up, Manla found that Gu Yan had only a few things. People who didn’t know her might think that she came here for holidays.
“But...” Manla gave up when she saw Gu Yan’s expression. She, as Gu Yan’s best friend, knew that once Gu Yan had made up her mind, she would not change it.
Manla sighed and said, “Okay, fine. Call me when you arrive at the airport.”
Gu Yan said, “Got it.” Then she took the suitcase and left.
“Yan, I hope you can meet your Mr. Right and start a new life. I hope you can live a happy life in the future.” Manla murmured and prayed for Gu Yan.
Gu Yan didn’t leave right away when she went out the door. She was standing still and said to herself, “Manla, thank you. Take care of yourself.”
