The grade of the hotel is okay, there is a lot of space in the car, and Lin Gu and the two stood far away from each other in advance, one at the door and the other at the corner. Lin Yuewei woke up after taking a step.

Gu Yanqiu glanced at her and hesitated.

Lin Yuewei brought up the previous question: "Where are you going in this outfit...?"

Gu Yanqiu didn't speak for a long time.

Lin Yuewei knew that it might be abrupt, the other party should be inconvenient to answer this question, so he pretended not to ask, and watched the elevator descend intently.

Ding--

Lin Yuewei got closer to the door, and she came out first, followed by Gu Yanqiu, bowing her head and typing on the phone screen.

Like strangers, the two left the hotel one after the other. As soon as they left the hotel door, Lin Yuewei felt the phone vibrate in her pocket. She took it out and saw that it was a message from Gu Yanqiu.

[Xi Gu: Going to see an elder I have known for a long time]

Lin Yuewei didn't look back at her, but stood still.

[Two Wood: Do you live here? 】

[Xi Gu: No, in H City]

City H is about a two-hour drive away from City S, where they are now. Lin Yuewei was worried that the pestle would attract attention here, so he walked forward while typing.

[Two woods: so far? Do you have to go out in the middle of the night for entertainment? 】

[Xi Gu: It's not an entertainment, it's a private matter]

[Xi Gu: Watch the road, put away the phone]

Lin Yuewei couldn't help but look back and met Gu Yanqiu's eyes, maybe because of the different clothes she was wearing today, the icy aura on her body, which was thousands of miles away, dissipated a lot. The skin is fair and healthy, the sun has not completely set, and the whole person looks very warm bathed in the sunset.

Even better if you can smile.

Lin Yuewei put away the phone and ran to 7-11, two hundred meters away.

As Gu Huai expected, Gu Yanqiu took the opportunity of this business trip to go to H City to find Lao Jiao, her former driver. She had greeted Lao Jiao beforehand, and Lao Jiao wanted to pick her up at the station. Gu Yanqiu agreed. When Lao Jiao was still doing errands at the Gu family, he had a good relationship with the Gu family. He was half a brother of Gu Huai, otherwise he would not have returned now. Contact every year.

Gu Yanqiu took the intercity high-speed train for an hour, and saw Lao Jiao at the exit, Lao Jiao - Jiao Chunsheng is about the same age as Gu Huai this year, and has passed the year of knowing his destiny, but his breeding base has been doing well these years. , I have hired a lot of employees, and the scale has begun to take shape. I and my wife went behind the scenes, bought a house in the city, and moved my family here. Life is prosperous, and Gu Huai's company is exhausted from internal and external troubles, and is newly mourned. After getting his wife, Jiao Chun looked much better than Gu Huai.

The two did not dare to recognize each other when they saw each other, and both stared at each other for a while.

Jiao Chunsheng: "Xiaoqiu?"

Gu Yanqiu: "Uncle Jiao."

Jiao Chunsheng looked her face back and forth, and said with a smile, "The last time I saw you, you were only eighteen years old. After so many years, you have grown up."

Gu Yanqiu also smiled: "Uncle Jiao is much younger than the last time I saw you."

Jiao Chunsheng: "The mouth is still so sweet."

Jiao Chunsheng led Gu Yanqiu to the parking lot. Gu Yanqiu glanced at the car logo, circled four times, and couldn't help but smile again: "Uncle Jiao has made a fortune in recent years."

Jiao Chunsheng was a little proud, and at the same time said modestly: "Compared to President Gu, it's far worse." He pressed the lock to unlock the car, and the memory of his previous limbs was still there, so he naturally opened the back door for Gu Yanqiu and stood by the door waiting. She sat in, and finally got into the driver's seat and started the car.

"Is Mr. Gu in good health?"

"fine."

"The last time I called him, I heard that he had a bad cough." Jiao Chunsheng was worried. He had been with Gu Huai for so many years, and he knew that the man had a very tough temper. Except for his wife and daughter, he had no weaknesses.

"when?"

"It was the last time I delivered lobsters." Actually not, Jiao Chunsheng heard Gu Huai coughing on the night when Gu Yanqiu questioned Gu Huai, but the conversation that night was a secret.

Gu Yanqiu's heart thumped slightly, didn't Gu Huai say it was fake? The medicines taken are only health medicines.

"I'll go back and ask him." Gu Yanqiu replied softly.

"That's good." Jiao Chunsheng rubbed the steering wheel with his hand, glanced at Gu Yanqiu's calm brows in the rearview mirror, and said, "Xiao Qiu, Mr. Gu is getting old, you usually pay more attention to him."

"I will." Gu Yanqiu lowered his eyes, hiding all his emotions.

Jiao Chunsheng was a little worried when he couldn't see her expression. He used to think that Gu Yanqiu had a heavy heart. In some places, he looked exactly the same as Gu Huai. If Gu Yanqiu is determined to fight against Gu Huai, then...

Gu Yanqiu felt that the speed of the car was a little unstable, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Jiao Chunsheng controlled the speed again and asked gossip, "I heard from your father, are you married?"

"Ok."

"Surname Lin?"

"Yes."

"fine."

"..."

Jiao Chunsheng is a typical Chinese man. He is clumsy when chatting with the younger generation. He can't even talk to his own daughter, not to mention Gu Yanqiu, who has been away for several years.

He simply stopped talking, he knew what Gu Yanqiu was here for, and he wasn't a smart person, so it was better not to say more.

Someone named Lin by Jiao Chunsheng "harassed" Gu Yanqiu again.

[Two woods: Have you had dinner yet? 】

[Xi Gu: No]

[Two woods: Are you coming back at night? 】

【West Look: Back】

Lin Yuewei took the kettle that had just boiled, poured water into her instant noodles, and saw a message pop up on the lock screen interface. The short word "return" made her unable to help but pull the corner of her mouth.

[Two Wood: I bought two buckets of instant noodles]

Gu Yanqiu: "..."

Lin Yuewei felt that her mind might be cloudy. Gu Yanqiu could not go to such a far place without having dinner. It took three or four hours to go back and forth from H city. Even if she only stayed for ten minutes, she would return at least ten o'clock.

——If the body is not healthy, you should eat less in the future.

What I just said is still in my ears.

[System message: Two woods withdrew a message]

Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that she hadn't seen her stupid moment.

[Xi Gu: Leave me a bucket? 】

Lin Yuewei: "!!!"

[Xi Gu: Just kidding [smile]]

Gu Yanqiu thought that she would be able to go back very late at night, so she quickly changed her mind, she didn't want Lin Yuewei to stay up late because of waiting for her.

Lin Yuewei looked at this familiar and ancient smile: "..."

Involuntarily, another person appeared in her mind, and the person who also liked to send her this expression was only one on QQ and one on WeChat. Lin Yuewei was in a complicated mood.

[Two Wood: Send me a message when you are back]

【Xi Gu: Good】

Lin Yuewei pulled out the chair under the table and sat on it sideways, with one arm and one arm around the back of the chair, and his chin resting on his arm, "What are you busy with?" "How about I invite you to a supper tonight? "When is your car tomorrow?" Lin Yuewei typed a sentence in the input box and deleted a sentence, these are not things that they can ask about their current relationship.

Gu Yanqiu didn't wait for Lin Yuewei to reply, and he didn't send any more messages.

The instant noodles were ready, Lin Yuewei put the phone aside, opened the Ipad to watch a movie, and ate instant noodles while watching.

At 7:50, Gu Yanqiu replied to her simple sentence: [Xi Gu: I'm here, I'm busy]

[Two woods: good]

***

Jiao Chunsheng parked the car in the underground garage and led Gu Yanqiu to the elevator. His house was bought in a middle-to-high-end community, with an elevator room, and his home was on the 19th floor.

Jiao Chunsheng stood at the door of the house, rubbed his hands, then took off the key from the waistband of his trousers, and said, "The house is a little small, don't mind."

"No." Gu Yanqiu smiled.

Jiao Chunsheng opened the door with the key. His wife was watching TV in the living room. He heard the sound and turned his head. Seeing Gu Yanqiu hurriedly approaching him, he brought her slippers and called her daughter from the inner direction: "Zhenzhen, come out and shout. people."

Gu Yanqiu put on his slippers and was busy talking. Calling someone is probably every child's childhood nightmare. It's never clear which relatives, plus the relatives' children, can recognize them all.

Jiao's wife smiled embarrassedly at her and asked her what she wanted to drink.

"Boiled water is enough, thank you auntie."

Jiao Chunsheng's daughter appeared in the living room after five minutes of her mother's shouting. She was clearly hinted by her mother and called out sweetly, "Sister Qiu." Then she ran back to the bedroom.

When Gu Yanqiu went abroad, Jiao Chunsheng's daughter was only twelve years old. After all, the two of them were not of the same class. .

Jiao's wife looked at her back, "This child." She said to Gu Yanqiu again, "She definitely went back to the room to play with the computer. Children are like this now, please forgive me."

Gu Yanqiu said with a smile: "Zhenzhen has grown up a lot and is slim."

Jiao's wife looked at her kindly and smiled: "It's better for you to change a little bit, just like your mother."

Jiao Chunsheng glared at his wife, and Jiao's wife realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly found an excuse to get up and get busy.

There were only the two of them left in the living room. Jiao Chunsheng knew it well, but he still had to play: "You said on the phone that you have something important to discuss with me, what is it?"

Gu Yanqiu asked, "Is there a study room? Or a quieter place."

study.

Gu Yanqiu asked straight to the point, "Uncle Jiao, when did you meet my dad?"

Jiao Chunsheng looked reminiscent and said, "It was probably more than 30 years ago. I don't remember exactly how many years ago. At that time, your father was a senior."

Gu Yanqiu said that sure enough, Jiao Chunsheng knew Gu Huai before her mother. That is to say, Jiao Chunsheng should be one of the insiders of those things back then. In fact, apart from Jiao Chunsheng, according to what Gu Huai said, he knew her mother when he started a business with his brothers. Those brothers knew more or less, but over the years, several partners except one Outside the company, the other is either immigrating abroad or passing away unexpectedly. The one in the company is Mr. Wu, who disagrees with Gu Huai on the company's development. The brothers from those days no longer exist. Of course, Gu Yanqiu will not try to find out. Go to Mr. Wu for these private matters.

"Do you know He Songjun?"

"I know, your dad's girlfriend back then."

"Which time was that year?"

"I can't remember the specifics. I remember your dad said that He Songjun confessed to her when he graduated in his senior year. After dating for a year or two, they broke up later." Jiao Chunsheng said, "I know your father married another. You may not be able to accept it, but at that time the two of them did reach the point of talking about marriage."

Jiao Chunsheng sighed: "It can only be said that good fortune tricks people."

"So my father is indeed my mother who I met later? And he abandoned He Songjun, who was already talking about marriage?" Gu Yanqiu stared at Jiao Chunsheng with sharp eyes.

Jiao Chunsheng met her eyes, and for a moment he felt that he saw Gu Huai from before. Jiao Chunsheng's fingers behind his back pinched the palm of his hand, but at least he didn't reveal his contents under Gu Yanqiu's eyes.

Jiao Chunsheng pursed his lips and said, "I can't say that. After all, he is not married. If he married He Songjun, it would hurt her." Although he is still married to He Songjun.

"Can you tell me in detail?"

From Jiao Chunsheng, Gu Yanqiu learned some details that he had never heard before. Although Gu Huai and Gu's mother have a good relationship, they are different from ordinary people. Gu Huai never sweetly mentions the process of his acquaintance and Gu's mother falling in love. Sometimes Gu Yanqiu wonders if they don't love each other at all, but they The two are really good to each other, and it can be seen that they are sincere.

Jiao Chunsheng said: "The first time Mr. Gu saw his wife was on a snowy day. At that time, he had just finished socializing, drank a drink, and sat in the back seat with his eyes closed. The snow was slippery and the snow was reflective. , I drove very carefully, for fear of an accident. But an accident happened. I stared at the white road for a long time, my eyes were a little uncomfortable, and I couldn't see clearly, so I closed my eyes forcefully, and when I opened them again, the Suddenly a person appeared. I was so frightened that I hurriedly stepped on the brakes, but the braking distance in the snow was long, and the person fell down in front of the car. I broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car. President Gu also woke up when he saw this. Wine, get out of the car with me."

It was very cold. At that time, mother Gu, who was still very young, was wrapped in a black down jacket. She was extremely slender. She didn't wear gloves. which white.

The snow fell heavily. When Jiao Chunsheng and Gu Huai got out of the car, she was covered with a fine layer of snow, which fell on her eyelashes and lips. Her face was horribly white, and she looked like a dead person.

Jiao Chunsheng was scared to death.

Gu Huai squatted down in front of her, tried to breathe, and found that although it was weak, it was still there. She couldn't see where the specific injury was on her body, so she reached out and wanted to pick her up and take her to the hospital.

"Just as Mr. Gu stretched out his hand, the wife suddenly woke up."

- I'm fine.

When the young mother Gu spoke, there was finally a little heat in the air. When she was awake, she touched her wrist for the first time, as if there was something very precious there. After that, she refused the help of Gu Huai and Jiao Chunsheng, and sat up little by little with her arms propped up.

Her facial features were very light, and so were her eyebrows. When she was reluctant to endure the pain, her fine eyebrows seemed to be frowning, but they showed some kind of stubbornness.

She brushed the snowflakes on the bangs, got up slowly, and looked over with a pair of eyes as deep as a lake.

Jiao Chunsheng took two small steps back and lost his mind for a while.

At that time, Jiao Chunsheng felt that he was the most beautiful person in the world he had ever seen. Never before and never will.

"My wife left by herself after she got up. President Gu wanted to take her to the hospital, but the wife refused. When she left, I saw that she was limping on one leg and seemed to be injured."

"and after?"

"Originally, we thought it was a chance meeting, but I also thought it was a beautiful dream. I saw some immortal. I thought it was a dream, but Mr. Gu didn't. When he went back that night, Mr. Gu remembered his wife. He even sent someone to look for his wife. , but we only know that she wore a black down jacket that night, and who is her name and where she is from, we don't know."

Jiao Chunsheng: "Three months later, we saw her again."

Gu Yanqiu asked, "Where?"

Jiao Chunsheng said: "At a party, I don't know who's female companion, and President Gu asked her name. After that, I don't know. I know that President Gu went to find her in private and avoided me on purpose. After knowing his wife for about a year, President Gu broke up with He Songjun, and after another year, President Gu and his wife got married, and then there was you."

"You said that my father was already pursuing my mother when he was still dating He Songjun?"

"This... should not be."

Gu Yanqiu suddenly attacked and approached him, "Didn't you say you don't know what they are doing in private?"

Jiao Chunsheng's throat tightened: "I don't know, but I believe President Gu is a man."

"He has a new wife, and he can't wait to marry another new love. Is this what he is like?"

"Do not……"

"What's not? Why are you inconsistent?"

Jiao Chunsheng was panicked by her questioning.

——She is very shrewd. No matter whether she notices the loopholes in your words or not, she will definitely irritate you. You just have to believe me. This is in line with your character.

Gu Huai's words rang in his ears, Jiao Chunsheng calmed down and said, "President Gu saved my life before, no matter what he decides, I will trust him."

Gu Yanqiu looked at him.

Jiao Chunsheng looked back not to be outdone.

Gu Yanqiu returned to his original position and said, "Do you know where my mother is from?"

"do not know."

"Did the wife's relatives not come when you got married?"

"No."

"Where's your friend?"

"nor."

"I don't believe that my dad, who is so cautious, has not checked."

"Mr. Gu may have checked, but he didn't tell me." Jiao Chunsheng said anxiously, "You also said that Mr. Gu is a guarded person. How could he tell me such a thing."

...

When Gu Yanqiu came home from Jiao Chunsheng's house, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. She bought an eleven o'clock ticket, took a taxi, and went straight to the high-speed rail station.

Along the way, her thoughts were surging, and there were too many details that she needed to sort out one by one.

She came to Jiao Chunsheng, on the one hand, to know some things that Gu Huai could not tell her, and on the other hand, to confirm more important things. As she knew, Gu Huai was a careful and careful person. Gu Yanqiu asked Jiao Chunsheng before. Gu Huai's phone number, Gu Huai couldn't have imagined that she would come to Jiao Chunsheng next, so what Jiao Chunsheng said now was probably inspired by Gu Huai, and the truth she knew was what Gu Huai let her know. What Gu Huai didn't let her know, Jiao Chunsheng wouldn't say a word. Although Jiao Chunsheng is not smart, he is very sincere. He would rather keep silent than say a word under his own pressure.

When Gu Yanqiu analyzed what Jiao Chunsheng said, some of the words were true. The first time her parents met should be true. Gu Yanqiu couldn't think of the reason for the falsification. As for other things, parties, etc. out to mislead her. Since her mother had neither relatives nor friends locally, how could she appear at the party that Gu Huai would attend.

Gu Yanqiu thought of another possibility, does she really have no friends? Not to mention that it was more than 30 years ago. After Gu's mother got married, she didn't open the door. Even if she had friends and the door was closed, who would know?

Thirty years ago...

Gu Yanqiu stroked the bead on his wrist and felt a headache.

***

Jiao Chunsheng took Gu Yanqiu into a taxi, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and called Gu Huai.

"President Gu, I just sent the lady away."

Gu Huai asked, "What do you say?"

Jiao Chunsheng: "I said what you told me."

Gu Huai: "Did she believe it?"

Jiao Chunsheng sighed: "I don't know either, I'm scared to death, I shouldn't have said anything that shouldn't be said."

However, Gu Huai suddenly let out a "hiss" and took a deep breath, as if annoyed.

"What's wrong?"

"Having cheated on her." Gu Huai was annoyed but also a little relieved, "It was actually calculated on me. She had guessed that I would talk to you, and this time she came here and heard that you and I have the same words, it must be more Believe that we are lying."

"But...wouldn't it be worse if they were inconsistent?"

"Yes." Gu Huai said, "She has planted the seeds of suspicion, and she will not believe it no matter what, she only believes what she has found. I know that she has hired a private detective to visit all over the country, and sooner or later she will Find out her mother's hometown."

"Isn't it impossible to hide it? Should we..." Jiao Chunsheng didn't know the whole truth, only that what he knew was different from what Gu Huai taught him.

Gu Huai interrupted him: "No, the past has long been buried with a handful of loess. If possible, I will keep this secret in the coffin."

"President Gu..."

"You have a good rest, you have worked hard. If you can't hide it..."

Gu Huai pinched her brows and sighed, "I'll know as late as I can."

***

Gu Yanqiu didn't return to the hotel until nearly one o'clock in the morning. He swiped his card and entered the room with heavy steps. He was paralyzed on the sofa for a while, sat up, and took the mobile phone. message.

Gu Yanqiu thought for a while, typed two words into the chat box, and sent it.

Lin Yuewei supported her face with one hand and wrote on the notebook with the other. The computer screen lit up, reflecting her focused face.

The phone on the side entered the message.

Lin Yuewei glanced over there, but didn't move. Her cell phone had rang countless times that night. There were friends, relatives, relatives of friends, friends of relatives, and so on. Lin Yuewei was disappointed every time she saw it. .

Lin Yuewei finished writing the summary at hand, took the mobile phone, maintained a peaceful mind, and unlocked the screen with the psychological expectation that what he saw was the WeChat advertisement push.

【Xi Gu: Good night】

Lin Yuewei: "!!!"

Can be considered back.

[Two woods: Have you eaten? 】

The mobile phone on the bedside table lit up, no one paid attention, and the sound of shower water came from the bathroom in the back.

Gu Yanqiu put on his pajamas and came out, frowning when he saw the news.

[Xi Gu: You haven't slept yet? 】

Through the transparent glass door, Lin Yuewei caught a glimpse of the mobile phone screen on the sink outside. She turned off the shower head above her head, wiped her hands on the towel on the edge of the bathtub, stepped out with one foot, and stepped on the tile floor with her bare feet. , typing:

[Two woods: I am studying]

【Xi Gu: Amazing】

[Xi Gu: I blow my hair]

[Two woods: Have you had dinner yet? 】

[Two Wood: I left you a bucket of instant noodles]

[Two Wood: If you want to eat, I will send it to you]

As soon as Gu Yanqiu plugged in the hair dryer, the phone rang one after another. She was already too hungry and didn't feel anything in her stomach, but the other party's kindness was difficult, and she might have waited for her for so long, so she shouldn't reject her kindness.

[Xi Gu: I'll get it myself]

[Two woods: I will send it down, you are safe there]

[Xi Gu: Okay]

Lin Yuewei hurriedly took a shower, put on his clothes, and put on his hat, for fear that Gu Yanqiu would fall asleep if he was late.

Before Gu Yanqiu's hair was even blown, the doorbell rang.

So fast?

"Come on, please wait." Gu Yanqiu touched his half-dry hair, put the hair dryer back in place, and was about to go out to open the door, he folded it back halfway, tucked his hair in front of the mirror, and put on a coat again , which opened the door.

"Please come in."

Lin Yuewei entered the door. Gu Yanqiu had just taken a shower, and the scent of the shower gel and shampoo on her body temporarily overshadowed the agarwood scent on her body. The completely different warm scent invaded her senses in an instant, making her dazzled.

Gu Yanqiu stared at her, stunned, and only uttered a single syllable word: "Well..."

She was thinking of a suitable name for Lin Yuewei, Miss Lin couldn't, Lin Yuewei was weird.

Lin Yuewei's hair stood on end, her throat was tight, her heart was beating fast, she put the instant noodles in her hand regardless, and was about to run away: "You hurry up. Let's eat, I'll go upstairs first."

Lin Yuewei turned to pull the door, but felt a backward force in his arm.

She froze.

Lin Yuewei turned her head back, her eyes slowly descended down her arm, Gu Yanqiu stretched out her hand and gently grabbed her wrist, looking over her eyes as if there was a warm autumn water hidden in her eyes.

The author has something to say: the time for gambling and attacking has not yet come, everyone should not be square, and you must firmly believe that the attacking you stand is attacking!
