Chapter 1: The Death of a Big Star
There were no lights on the balcony and there was a drizzle in the sky. Tan Yuanqiu stretched out his head from the unenclosed balcony to look, and he was bottomless in the rain and night. She stuck her head out to look at the rainy night sky while making a phone call, and the cold raindrops hit her face, and Mu Fudi made her feel a little comforted.
"What happens if you fall off three floors?" she heard her own joking words come out of her mouth.
Gu Yu was in a boring entertainment at this time, he cheered up and listened to the other party's rhetoric and squirming lips and smiled. As soon as he picked up the phone, he heard Tan Yuanqiu's words that made the listeners tremble.
Goosebumps arose all over his body, Huo Di stood up, the people at the table were puzzled by his sudden action, and when they looked up and saw his solemn face, they were careful not to make a sound.
Gu Yu walked to the door, he calmly considered the words, Tan Yuanqiu would definitely not speak like this for no reason.
"Nothing will happen. Listen to me, now go into the room, go to bed, and lie down......"
As he spoke, he beckoned her assistant Li Letian to come over, she opened the notepad and handed the rollerball pen to Gu Yu, who wrote on it: No. 32, Fenglin Villa, Changning Street!
Li Letian hurriedly clicked on WeChat and called a taxi with Didi.
"I want to see you—" At this point, whatever she could say, as long as it could soothe her and calm her down. Gu Yu walked out and said to Tan Yuanqiu on the other end of the phone.
But Tan Yuanqiu didn't seem to hear what he said, she softly hummed the lyrics from the Kunqu opera "Peony Pavilion": "The beautiful scenery of a good day is the sky, and the courtyard ...... enjoy it."
The rainy day in the middle of the night has nothing to do with the beautiful scenery of the good day, and the meandering sound seems like her dark and unpredictable heart.
"Yuan Qiu, do you remember the candied fruit in the Lin family alley? I'll ask the assistant to buy it for you tomorrow. Gu Yu didn't seem to feel Tan Yuanqiu's abnormality, and only talked to her in a relaxed tone.
He searched hard in his mind for the things Tan Yuanqiu liked—clothes, sweets, operas, movies, etc. As long as she can find something to divert Tan Yuanqiu's attention and let her talk to herself normally.
But Tan Yuanqiu blindly sang "The Peony Pavilion". Gu Yu doesn't know opera, although he went to see "Youth Version of the Peony Pavilion" when he was a student, but it was just a glimpse, and he couldn't catch Tan Yuanqiu's singing.
He also listened to Tan Yuanqiu sing in the car, and made a sound from time to time to indicate that he was listening here.
The taxi stopped steadily under Tan Yuanqiu's villa. He and Li Letian rushed down and knocked on the door together, but no one answered.
The door of her house is a digital combination lock, which is very regular. He had come to her house to fetch things for her, and he had searched hard for his memory, and there were seven and four, and there were only these two numbers, arranged in a simple way......
7-7-7-744。
The door opened, calm, and he ran upstairs listening to the phone.
"Yuanqiu......" He found Tan Yuanqiu on the balcony all the way unimpeded. She sat on the balcony in a silk-pink nightgown, drenched in the rain. The light peeking through the room shone on her bleak countenance.
Seeing Gu Yu, she smiled at him, and a poignant smile flashed.
"Silent!" After speaking, she suddenly fell backwards and disappeared from Gu Yu's eyes.
Gu Yu stretched out his hand to grab it, but he didn't catch anything.
"Yuan Qiu......" He heard his own mournful voice ringing out in the darkness. He rushed over and leaned on the balcony to look down, and it was dark underneath.
His mind went blank as he turned and ran, pushing everything in his way. Running down the stairs and pushing open the door, he ran along the place where Tan Yuanqiu had fallen.
Tan Yuanqiu was lying on her back on the concrete floor, and the dim street lamp shone on her. Her eyes seemed to be open, the ground was dark, and her legs and feet were twisted.
He was just about to go and hug her, when someone ran over and grabbed him.
"Don't look!" it was Li Letian, the assistant who was following him, she quickly took off her thin coat and covered her head, only exposing her mouth and nose, but the exposed mouth and nose were bleeding.
Gu Yu stretched out his hand and wanted to hug Tan Yuanqiu again.
"You can't touch her, you'll have to wait for the doctor to come. Li Letian's voice trembled, and it reached Gu Yu's brain, which was difficult to think for a while.
He looked at Tan Yuanqiu lying on the ground, and looked up at the balcony where she jumped off, only the drizzle was still falling miserably.
Li Letian didn't know when she found an umbrella and a small blanket, she put the blanket on her legs, and opened the umbrella to cover her.
Gu Yu squatted on the ground and held Tan Yuanqiu's hand, her hands were cold and wet, and there was no breath at all.
The sound of the police car ambulance sounded one after another, and he and Lotte were placed on the side, listening to their conversation indifferently and responding to the policeman's questioning indifferently.
"She's dead!" he gradually confirmed in his mind, and he knew it at the first sight of her lying on the ground.
The news of the big star Tan Yuanqiu's jumping to his death appeared on the hot search with different topics within a month. Her history of fame, emotional disputes, family relationships and inheritance distribution are discussed in turn.
And Gu Yu, as a witness to Tan Yuanqiu's jumping off the building, also appeared many times on the hot search. Soon after he entered the industry, the past of pursuing Tan Yuanqiu was also picked up. But Tan Yuanqiu, who the public knows over the years, has not really dated Gu Yu, and they get along more like sisters and brothers. In the past two years, I have seen that she has emotional disputes with the wealthy businessman Zhong Kai and the actor Zhang Jiao, who is two years younger than her.
In the end, the official conclusion was that suicide due to depression was conclusive.
Gu Yu handled Tan Yuanqiu's funeral as a friend, watching many insiders mourn in front of her spirit, Gu Yu accompanied Tan Yuanqiu's mother in black to return the gift.
Tan Yuanqiu loves to be lively, loves brocade clothes, and has been scandalous since he entered the industry. She used to be a smash hit, although the momentum of no works has decreased slightly in the past two years. However, with his early hit works, coupled with scandals and family disputes from time to time, he has also been active in the public eye.
A week before she jumped off the building, she had also hosted a small party in the mansion.
As a friend for many years, Gu Yu knew Tan Yuanqiu's pain. She intervened in Zhong Kai's family but couldn't love, and kept losing herself in new love. She is also from a low-level family, and has a mother who loves money and loves her daughter as a cash cow.
Zhong Kai didn't appear, Zhang Jiao cried into tears in front of her spirit, and all kinds of other people who had been entangled with Tan Yuanqiu flashed through Gu Yu's mind, how much despair made her choose such a violent and decisive way to pass away, Gu Yu was puzzled.
Although Tan Yuanqiu left, the mystery on her body has not yet been revealed. The aftermath is even more lively, and even his father, who has not appeared for many years, began to come out to fight for the inheritance.
