Lin Shilang Gu

[Xigu: Gaoshan County, Wu City, S province, tell me when you arrive, and I will pick you up]

[Xi Gu: [Location]]

Gu Yanqiu was actually not too afraid of Lin Yuewei's threat. She had an intuition and was almost 100% sure that Lin Yuewei was just bluffing, and she really didn't want to do anything, but she still agreed.

Lin Yuewei checked the fastest flight at the address she gave, and then checked the bus from Wu City to Gaoshan County. She was almost desperate. It was the same bus that Gu Yanqiu took yesterday. blacken.

In any case, she took a taxi and ran to the airport without hesitation.

***

When Director Fang returned to the office, Gu Yanqiu had already adjusted his emotions, and there were no traces of tears on his face, and even the slap print on her indifferent face was not so dazzling.

Gu Yanqiu noticed that when Director Fang saw her face at first, he was not surprised at all, as if he was used to it.

Sure enough, Director Fang said: "In the past, Ms. Shen, even when your mother came, was occasionally beaten. The old lady was confused, and I don't know why. It was probably because of some discord in the past. When it's good, it's very good. , hugged and called Yu'er."

Gu Yanqiu: "..."

Director Fang glanced at her and said, "You just happened to be in a bad time today."

Gu Yanqiu: "That's because we used to have a good relationship, because something broke up, right?" The relationship between mother and daughter, how much hatred it must be to shake off this slap, it is definitely not a trivial matter.

Director Fang: "Hey." She sighed.

Gu Yanqiu: "Did she say anything when she was awake or when she was able to speak?"

Director Fang said without hesitation, "No."

"Didn't say anything?"

"No."

Gu Yanqiu leaned back in the chair behind him, clasped his hands in front of him, stretched one foot casually, and tilted his head to look at her.

Director Fang has been dodging her eyes for a while, and there is a feeling of being seen through.

"Director Fang, we don't speak secretly."

Director Fang was shocked when he heard the sound, and looked at her suspiciously, wondering if she was cheating on herself, or if she already knew.

Gu Yanqiu smiled at her, and said with confidence: "Gu Huai, the person in the photo I just showed you, what did he tell you? I can double the amount of money he gave you."

Director Fang: "I..."

"Don't be in a hurry to answer." Gu Yanqiu pointed his index finger to the center of his lips and softly "shush", "You are a public nursing home, right? Are you accepting bribes and concealing the truth? According to the legal relationship Said, I am the granddaughter of old Mrs. Gao, and he Gu Huai is only her daughter's husband, why should he make decisions for me and my grandmother. Also, did you plan to tip off Gu Huai after I left? Say, you already told him before I came today."

Director Fang: "..."

Gu Yanqiu finished all the words.

Gu Yanqiu adjusted his sitting posture, sat upright, and nodded politely at her: "Director Fang, you can talk."

Director Fang took a tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I said it, but it's really not much." Director Fang finally said truthfully, "The old lady was very old when she sent it over, and the situation was very unstable. When your mother came for the first time, she cried a lot. The old lady hugged her and cried together. Later, she began to be erratic, good and bad, beating and scolding, scolding and scolding, it was really good, the old lady was not in good health, she insisted on cooking for her daughter , but the bowl was so angry that she threw the bowl before the meal was finished. From your mother's attitude alone, she felt very guilty. "

Gu Yanqiu put the notebook on his lap and lowered his head to remember, she was so formal, Director Fang tried his best to remember her.

"I'm really not sure, when Mrs. Gao scolded your mother, she said, 'I and your father absolutely disagree with you being with him', 'You go, don't come back when you leave', 'Get out' If you say that, the most I say is to get out, just like the attitude to you just now, exactly the same, and let us kick her out."

Do not agree to be with him, is it because the parents eloped? That would be inconsistent with what Jiao Chunsheng said. When Gu Huai met Shen Huaiyu, she was already in the stage of career development, and when the two got married, she was even more successful in her career. A young, handsome and talented man with a career, she could not imagine what kind of parent would reject such a son-in-law. Is it because Gu Huai had He Songjun and Gu Feiquan outside and the old couple found out? Only then did she resolutely prevent Shen Huaiyu from marrying Gu Huai.

Gu Yanqiu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why didn't Gu Huai come in?"

Director Fang: "I don't know that."

"real?"

"It's true, I could swear to God."

"Anything else?"

"No more." Director Fang shook his head.

Gu Yanqiu scribbled a row of numbers on the paper, tore off the piece of paper, and put it on the table: "This is my phone number, if you think of anything, call me anytime." Gu Yanqiu took the bag beside him , took out a stack of cash from the bank, a stack of 100 brand new cards.

Gu Yanqiu put the pen and paper into the side rail of the bag, zipped it up, and slung it on his shoulder. Director Fang got up to send her off. When he walked to the door, Gu Yanqiu turned around and said to her: "By the way, Director Fang, if you want to call Gu Huai or he comes to ask you, please tell him a word for me: there is no airtight wall in the world. If he wants to spend it, I will spend the rest of my life with him."

Director Fang smiled dryly.

"No need to send, just stay."

As soon as Gu Yanqiu walked out of the door of the nursing home, he looked at Mr. Liu beside him: "You can make an appointment with Mrs. Gao's neighbor. I'll see you in the afternoon."

"Your face..."

"It's fine, just go back and apply it. Make an appointment and don't worry." She didn't believe that Gu Huai's hand could reach those neighbors at the same time. Gu Yanqiu frowned and asked, "Mr. Liu, I have other things to do. Can you check it out for me?"

"what's up?"

"You look up my father Gu Huai, before marriage, especially with He Songjun."

"Apart from the name, is there anything else?" Mr. Liu looked into Shen Huaiyu and was already scared.

Gu Yanqiu smiled and said, "Of course he does. He has a name, a surname, a company, a graduate school, and his own personal network. I will organize a document and send it to you when I go back."

"OK."

Gu Yanqiu got into the car, lowered the window, and glanced back at the door of the nursing home with deep eyes.

"Let's go."

Lin Yuewei arrived at Wushi Airport in the afternoon and rushed to the high-speed rail station without stopping. At this time, she was particularly fortunate that she had been treated coldly for more than a month, and the heat had dropped a lot. As long as she wore a little mask, no one would recognize her even if she was running around the station.

Lin Yuewei rushed into the platform before the check-in time, like a gust of wind. It was not until he got on the train that he let go of the anger that he had been mentioning here from home, and sent a message to Gu Yanqiu that he was safe.

[Two woods: I got on the train to Gaoshan County]

[Xi Gu: I'll pick you up later]

[Two Wood: What are you doing now? 】

[Xi Gu: drinking tea with relatives]

The "relative" in front of Gu Yanqiu this time was a typical county woman, with an ordinary appearance, a slightly bloated figure, and her whole body was covered in ordinary writing. Facing a person like Gu Yanqiu who was obviously incompatible with the county seat, she rubbed her hands under the table. Eyes looking around, uneasy.

Gu Yanqiu asked, "You and Gao Limei were neighbors before?" Gao Limei was the name of Mrs. Gao.

The woman replied, "Yes."

Gu Yanqiu opened the book in front of her, the woman became even more nervous and kept gulping her saliva, Gu Yanqiu put down the pen, picked up the kettle on the table and poured her a glass of water, saying, "I just asked a few questions, neither the police nor the No one else, Gao Limei is my grandmother."

"I know, this Mr. Liu has already said it." The woman held a water glass in her hand and turned it on the tablecloth, her nervousness could not be relieved for a while.

Gu Yanqiu let her go and went straight to the topic: "Have you met Gao Limei's daughter? It's called Shen Huaiyu, and she looks a bit like me now." Gu Yanqiu showed her mother's photo to the other party.

The woman glanced at Mr. Liu, and Mr. Liu nodded, and she said, "I haven't seen it before, and I didn't know she had a daughter."

"do not know?"

"Yeah, she was alone when she moved in. Not to mention her daughter, she didn't even have a husband. I asked her and she said she was dead."

Gu Yanqiu's expression changed, "What did you say?"

The woman said, "I said she was a widow when she moved in, with no husband and no children."

Gu Yanqiu: "When did she move in?"

The woman raised her head, made a memory, and said, "I can't remember exactly which year, it's been a long time, maybe ten or twenty years. When she came, my son was still crawling on the ground, and now he is in college."

Gu Yanqiu asked, "Did her husband die at that time?"

The woman nodded: "Yes, I haven't seen it."

Mr. Liu lowered his head and said something in Gu Yanqiu's ear: "It should have passed away before that. I asked all the neighbors, but they have never met, but there was one person who met your mother Shen Huaiyu, and I passed this person through. Gao Limei found."

The person who met Shen Huaiyu was a man in his thirties. He was a well-known entrepreneur in the county town. He had an appointment with Gu Yanqiu at a fairly high-end tea restaurant.

The man's surname was Cheng, his name was Cheng Yong, he was wearing a suit and tie, he straightened his shirt as soon as he got up, and shook hands with Gu Yanqiu: "President Gu."

"Mr. Cheng."

The two sat down face to face, Cheng Yong took the photo that Gu Yanqiu handed over, and confirmed it again: "Yes, this is the one I saw."

When Cheng Yong was studying, his parents often worked overtime, and Gao Limei was an old man who lived at home. Gao Limei liked Cheng Yong very much, so she often invited him to play. Cheng Yong often dined at Gao Limei's house. Yes, Cheng Yong went to work in college later, and the two of them didn't break contact. They would visit Gao Limei from time to time.

Cheng Yong recalled: "A few years ago, it should be six or seven years ago, the woman in the photo, your mother came here, I was watching TV at Grandma Gao's house at the time, and I was going to eat here at night. Grandma saw She changed a lot in the future, so let me go back first. I was worried about her, so I hid at the door and eavesdropped on it, but I heard quarrels and crying from inside. It didn't take long for your mother to be kicked out by her grandmother with a face full of tears."

Shen Huaiyu was born extremely beautiful, even better than the current Gu Yanqiu. The beauty wept, no man could be indifferent when she saw her. After she left crying, Cheng Yong entered Gao Limei's house again to inquire about what happened between the two of them. What happened, Gao Limei was furious with him, and said that if he mentioned Shen Huaiyu again, he would never come to her.

Cheng Yong said: "I didn't ask again after that. I was busy with work. I didn't stay at my grandma's house every day, and I didn't know if she came back later. My brain is not clear, the doctor said it is Alzheimer's disease, I want to send my grandma to a nursing home, and your mother will take the lead."

"I heard that it was sent to her by a young man?"

"Yes, the dean of the nursing home told me the same."

"Then how can you be sure that she sent someone to send it?"

"To be honest, I met her later, and I met her by chance in a nursing home. Your father helped me with the business, otherwise I wouldn't be like this. And my grandma has no relatives and friends here, the closest It's me, and I can't think of anyone other than me and your mother."

Gu Yanqiu's mind was a mess. In the afternoon, she saw several neighbors in a row, and what she said was basically the same. When Gao Limei came, she was alone, without a husband, and never mentioned that she had a daughter. Based on the information I know, Gao Limei and Shen Huaiyu had a major conflict. The mother and daughter turned against each other. Maybe it had something to do with her grandfather's death. Otherwise, Gu Yanqiu couldn't imagine what kind of conflict could make a mother and daughter who are closely related by blood into such a situation.

Also, Shen Huaiyu's love life has been resolutely opposed by her family, which may be the fuse that triggered a series of things, otherwise Gao Limei would not have been so many years, and she would still talk about these things when she was delirious.

Cheng Yong said: "Actually... I have seen your mother's photo at my grandma's house, she hid it very well. I used to be greedy, rummaging through boxes to find something to eat, and I saw an old photo album in a corner cabinet, There are a lot of photos in it, the latter ones look a lot like you, they should be your mother."

"Can you find that album now?"

"I don't know if it was taken to a nursing home."

...

"Thank you." When he finally left, Gu Yanqiu shook Cheng Yong's hand firmly. She learned a lot of valuable news from Cheng Yong.

"What I should do." Cheng Yong sighed, "Grandma's life is really not easy, if you have time, come and see her more. I know the news of your mother's passing, she doesn't know yet, If it's not necessary, I hope you don't tell her. A mother always loves her child, no matter how much she hates it. When I hear this news, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on. Besides, her mind is not clear, so let her take care of it. Have an old age."

"I know."

"No need to send it. If you have any questions, you can call me at any time. Mr. Liu has my number." Cheng Yong bowed his head to Gu Yanqiu, turned around and walked out.

Gu Yanqiu sat back on the seat and closed her eyes for a while. Even though the truth of the matter was still hidden in the fog, she had already developed a sense of fear. Gao Limei, her grandfather who didn't know how she died, Shen Huaiyu, Gu Huai, and even He Songjun Gu Feiquan, all these people were pulled together and woven into a huge net. What kind of fact is it, is she really willing to see it?

Just the things in front of her had already made her sad.

Mr. Liu waited for her to calm down and asked, "Mr. Gu, are we going back to the hotel now?"

Gu Yanqiu opened his eyes: "No, go to the train station."

"what?"

"You leave the car with me, and I'll pick up someone."

"OK."

Lin Yuewei followed people out of the station. The dialect she didn't understand resounded at the door, and she quickly said some tourist attractions and hotel names. Some people came up and pulled her arm, seeing that the action was to pull her to the car. Lin Yuewei rarely saw this kind of posture, and his reaction greatly shook off the opponent's hand, ran away a few steps, and looked at the flow of people who were picking up people outside, while being alert to the surrounding people, he took out his mobile phone to make a call.

Gu Yanqiu had seen Lin Yuewei long ago, but she was embarrassed to call someone like the person next to her. Fortunately, she quickly received a call from Lin Yuewei. She indicated the direction on the phone, and Lin Yuewei turned right. After a Baidu search, I saw the tall and slender woman.

She didn't bring any luggage, so she carried a backpack with a change of clothes for a day or two in it, and walked lightly to Gu Yanqiu.

"The car is there." Gu Yanqiu pointed his finger, and naturally went to pick up the bag on her back. Lin Yuewei didn't hide and asked her to pick it up and hang it on one shoulder to lead the way.

Gu Yanqiu put her backpack on the back seat. Lin Yuewei had already sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt. She secretly felt that she had a sense of hostess and was secretly happy.

Lin Yuewei only remembered an embarrassing incident.

Gu Yanqiu is here to see relatives, so where will she be staying tonight? Could it be that she wants to live with Gu Yanqiu at her grandparents' house, isn't it rounding up to meet her parents? Maybe there are seven aunts and eight aunts, and the whole family has met.

Lin Yuewei held the seat belt in her hand and didn't know how to say this, otherwise she would stay in a hotel.

Lin Yuewei said, "You can take me to the hotel."

Gu Yanqiu clipped the phone, turned on Lin Chiling's voice navigation, and said, "I was going to the hotel."

Lin Yuewei felt a little uncomfortable. It was one thing for him to propose to go to the hotel, but it was another for Gu Yanqiu to take her to the hotel. Did she not want her to see her relatives? She quickly thought up reasons for Gu Yanqiu: first, when they first got married, they made an appointment with Lin Yuewei not to attend business or private banquets with her in the name of husband and wife, and Gu Yanqiu was just fulfilling his promise; second , Lin Yuewei is a public figure, and the relatives of the Gu family talk a lot.

Lin Yuewei understood the reasoning, but his emotions were inexplicably lowered.

The small place is not big, and within ten minutes of arriving at the hotel, Gu Yanqiu had something hidden in his heart, but he didn't notice Lin Yuewei's thoughts going back and forth. Lin Yuewei had already come, and she hadn't figured out how to explain to her about this big business in her family. Any visits to relatives were all in vain.

Gu Yanqiu parked the car and entered the hotel one after the other with Lin Yuewei. She spread her hand to Lin Yuewei and said, "Give me your ID card."

Lin Yuewei handed her the ID card, Gu Yanqiu handed it over to the front desk, and said, "No. 302 queen room, add one more person."

Gu Yanqiu had opened a big bed room by himself before, but now that Lin Yuewei is here, he naturally lives with her. She sleepwalks and has Lin Yuewei to accompany her, so she is more at ease.

Lin Yuewei was stunned: "???"

What does it mean to add one person to a double room?

She was full of doubts until Gu Yanqiu took out her room card and opened the door. There was a familiar suitcase in the corner - the one that was accidentally left in Lin Yuewei's car yesterday morning. Lin Yuewei understood. , oh, Gu Yanqiu originally lived in this room, but now she has been added, and the two of them live in a double room together.

She opened a room with Gu Yanqiu! Although this open house is not another open house, it is also a milestone leap forward! Rounding up is the bridal chamber!

There was only one thought left in Lin Yuewei's mind.

Screaming, spinning, jumping silently in my head, I closed my eyes.

After the excitement wore off, other questions swarmed.

Didn't Gu Yanqiu come to see his grandma and grandpa? Grandma and grandma can't even move a room out for her to live in. Do you want to live in a hotel? Or is Gu Yanqiu obsessed with cleanliness? If you have a cleanliness addiction, you should not stay in a hotel. No matter how you say it, your home is cleaner than a hotel.

She didn't speak, but the question marks on her forehead were obvious enough. Gu Yanqiu pressed the center of his eyebrows, feeling the pain in his temples: "I'll explain to you at night, are you hungry after so long in the car, what do you want to eat?"

"I don't have dinner, you forgot?" Lin Yuewei looked at her.

"..." Gu Yanqiu really forgot, there were too many things, and her mind was confused, otherwise she wouldn't be able to remember things about Lin Yuewei.

Gu Yanqiu pressed his temples again, closed his eyes, exhaled softly, and forced himself to regain his calm mind.

"Okay, don't pretend if you're bothered." Lin Yuewei pierced her directly without mercy, "There's something to pretend to be in front of me, you cry like that, twice, I haven't seen anything."

Gu Yanqiu: "..."

How is she? !

Gu Yanqiu said solemnly: "I think it is necessary for me to explain." Her image cannot be a crybaby.

Lin Yuewei nodded and sat down on the sofa: "Well, you explain, I'll listen."

Gu Yanqiu was silent for a while, and said, "I don't usually cry, I cried last time, you know, this time I cried because I encountered something unhappy, very, very unhappy, and I didn't cry out, and there was no one around. , I didn't cry when you called."

Lin Yuewei was about to die of laughter in his heart. This is not a love for crying. Whoever cried when he was happy didn't count as crying when he was overjoyed. Isn't it all because he was unhappy that he cried.

Of course, she was very agreeable on the face, and she couldn't sing the opposite when facing the baby, with the expression "You are right, I am shallow".

Gu Yanqiu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this time Lin Yuewei would never think she was a crybaby.

Lin Yuewei sat on the sofa and looked at Gu Yanqiu for a moment, then got up and walked towards her, standing in front of her.

Gu Yanqiu: "???"

Lin Yuewei asked her, "Are you still bothered?"

Gu Yanqiu admitted honestly, "...It's annoying."

Lin Yuewei opened his arms to her in the general direction, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, and asked her, "Would you like to give her a hug?"

Gu Yanqiu showed hesitation.

"There's no one else here."

Gu Yanqiu pursed his lips tightly and blinked his eyes slowly.

Lin Yuewei gestured to withdraw his hand.

Gu Yanqiu immediately stepped forward and hugged her, burying his face in her neck.
