Chapter 184: Chinese New Year's Eve
Chinese New Year's Eve 2017 was particularly sad.
Wen Mingting washed his face with tears almost all day long, but he didn't have any way to take Gu Hansheng.
Only the people around him know what kind of life Gu Hansheng has been living.
He could go days without sleep, working during the day and locking himself in his study or bedroom at night.
Most of the servants at Mansion Zero were dismissed.
Qu Yu woke up every night, and when he saw the villa standing in the wind and snow without a trace of light, he felt sadness spread from the deepest part of his heart.
At this time, she would always light the lamp and go to the main building, go upstairs lightly, and stand at the door of the master bedroom to listen to the cry of a sleepy beast inside.
Depressed and desperate.
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.
Liang Shu's departure was almost a devastating blow to Gu Hansheng.
Qu Yu didn't know how long he could last in this state, and no one dared to persuade him.
The old lady in the house, together with Jing Yu, secretly stole Liang Shu's ashes and buried them in the suburban cemetery, Gu Hansheng was still a step late, when he arrived, the new tomb had already been raised, and there were Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes and canopies around the tombstones.
They poured the bowl of rootless water stained with black rune paper ash from the top of the tombstone, and said in their mouths that the dust would return to the dust and return to the earth, which was considered to be more than soothing.
Everyone's attention was on the Taoist priest, and almost no one noticed Gu Hansheng's appearance.
Wen Mingting stood in front of the grave, looked at the tombstone without a photo in front of him seriously, folded his hands, closed his eyes and said to the new tomb: "Ah Shu, you blame me, let Han Sheng go, don't pester him in the future, okay?"
There was nothing but the whirring of the wind.
Tears flowed down the corners of Wen Mingting's eyes, her eyelids trembled, and she continued to say reverently: "Ah Shu, let's go, from now on, don't pester him again, don't appear in front of him again, even if it's in a dream-"
Don't pester him anymore, don't appear in front of him again, even if it's in a dream......
When this sentence flashed through Gu Hansheng's mind, the only reason he had in his body was derailed.
During the day, he paralyzed himself by work, and the Gu family did not receive any sanctions because of this fire incident or public opinion, but developed beyond the past, which is all due to Gu Hansheng.
He could force himself not to think about her during the day.
But when it comes to night, my thoughts can't hold back anymore.
Missing is like a bottomless black hole, it begins to emerge in the dead of night, like a vine full of tentacles, sticking into the human mind, eager to grab everything it wants.
But Liang Shu didn't even give Gu Hansheng this opportunity to dream of her.
Even if it's a nightmare.
For so many days and nights, no one knew how he came over.
Perhaps, I never said anything about it.
Maybe at some point, he won't exist as a person.
At the moment, it seems that everything has a reasonable explanation.
He didn't believe that the ashes were cool, but he believed that Liangshu's soul had been living in Mansion Zero.
They put the ashes in this boxy grave, covered the coffin, buried the earth, and locked up the cool souls in it.
Gu Hansheng seemed to be able to hear Ah Shu's voice shouting for help.
It was as if she was in that fire.
The soles of Gu Hansheng's feet were as heavy as lead, and every step he took made his heart hurt a little until he stood behind Wen Mingting.
The people around didn't speak, maybe the atmosphere was too oppressive, and no one dared to speak.
Gu Hansheng's eyelids moved, tears rolled down from his dry eyes, and he said helplessly to Wen Mingting's back in a hoarse voice: "Mom, do you have to be so cruel?"
Wen Mingting trembled heavily, slowly opened his eyes, and then slowly turned around.
"Do you know how much I blame myself? You want my divorce certificate from her, I promise you, that night at the Civil Affairs Bureau, she was wearing very little clothes and had a little frostbite on her hands, I knew she was cold, but I didn't care about her. ”
After a pause, Gu Hansheng continued in a talented tone: "Do you know how high the temperature inside was when the villa was on fire? In the infrared camera, the fire was soaring, and the whole picture was red, and Ah Shu was inside, and I didn't care about her." ”
The wind was very strong, the temperature on the outskirts of the city was very low, and the weather, which had been resting for most of the day, was now faintly showing signs of snow again.
Gu Hansheng took a step forward, stood beside Wen Mingting, his palm on the cold tombstone, he looked down at the words on the tombstone, a cold smile flashed in his lowered eyes, and he said: "And now, you have trapped her in this three-foot underground and sleeping, how can I walk in the air of two meters on this ground." ”
He spoke plainly.
It was so bland that the tone didn't even fluctuate.
But it was precisely because of this that Wen Mingting looked at him with a shocked and desperate face, and her tears fell down a lot, if she hadn't been supported by Liang Qing behind her in time, she might have fallen to the ground.
The newly dug grave is still loose in the surrounding soil.
Gu Hansheng kicked and destroyed all the neat incense case tributes in front of everyone, and was stopped by Jing Yu when he reached out to pull the tombstone again.
Jing Yu wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at him, "Han Sheng, what are you doing? Aunt Ting didn't do all this for you, why did you waste a piece of her hard work?"
"Bitterness?" Gu Hansheng's mouth hooked the corners of his mouth with an arc of unknown meaning, "Jingyu, the knife has not cut your flesh, you are not qualified to say this." ”
"But she's dead, Buddhism pays attention to the cycle of cause and effect, you have been trapping her, so that she can't be reincarnated properly, how to start her next life? ”
Gu Hansheng didn't want to listen to Jingyu's nonsense.
One can never empathize with the hearts and emotions of others.
It's like the cool is gone.
For most people, it may just be one less person in the world.
In the tears of many people, he Gu Hansheng just died one wife, and naturally there is the next one to make up for it, he is Gu Hansheng, there is no shortage of women around him, and there is no shortage of Mrs. Gu.
But for Liang Shu, she completely disappeared from this world.
When a person dies, he will never see him again, never again.
For many years to come, until his death, he could never see her again, nor could he hear her voice again, and from then on, the man disappeared completely.
And these people didn't understand what Liang Shu meant to him Gu Hansheng.
For the rest of his life, the name Liangshu can only appear in memories......
As soon as Gu Hansheng thought of this, he felt pain all over his body.
From his "interest" in her at the beginning to his current "deep quagmire", it seems that he only confirms the nonsensical words: I don't know what to do, and I go deep.
And these people, they don't understand.
......
The Taoist priests are gone.
It belongs to the one who fled in the wilderness, because they were afraid that they would not be able to clean up the next scene, and they would overkill the soul without consent, which was a great disrespect, and they were afraid that there would be retribution on themselves.
In fact, Gu Hansheng didn't dare to do anything to Wen Mingting.
So in the end, he beat Jing Yu.
Everyone present did not dare to go up and persuade them.
Jing Yu was not Gu Hansheng's opponent, and when Gu Hansheng grabbed his collar and smashed it in Jing Yu's face one after another, he did not relent.
Wen Mingting couldn't stop crying as she watched as bright red blood spilled from Jingyu's nose and lips, staining the snow-covered ground red.
She regretted it.
Compared with Gu Jiamenfeng and Gu Hansheng, the former is actually nothing at all.
If even Gu Hansheng is gone, then the Gu family will be gone.
In a lifetime, people must go through something to be fully enlightened.
But Wen Mingting's enlightenment came too late and too sad, and it was too sad to have a cold life in the middle.
She went up and grabbed Gu Hansheng, like a farce was finally about to come to an end, she cried and said: "I won't force you anymore, when I am a hundred years later, I will go down to apologize to her, I beg her to forgive me, it doesn't matter if you get married or not in the future, Hansheng, Mom only hopes that you will live well now." ”
Gu Hansheng stopped.
Jing Yu was lying on the ground, looking at the sky with his eyes open, and suddenly he also had a kind of thought that he didn't want to live.
He was toyed with by a woman and applauded, and he lost his heart, and no one believed such a shameful thing.
Looking at Gu Hansheng's current state, Jing Yu feels that love is more ruthless than poison.
It's so easy for it to destroy a person.
Later, an ambulance came to pull Jingyu away.
Originally, everyone thought that the matter would end here, but no one thought that Gu Hansheng would come over in the middle of the night to dig a grave.
On a howling night, the sound of the wind tugging at the bare bushes was ghostly.
Ji Shen held an umbrella to him on the side, and was silent the whole time.
At this point, he would no longer open his mouth to persuade Gu Hansheng of anything, because he had been with Gu Hansheng for so long, and he had never seen him have such a crazy moment, and even more because, he had never seen such a crazy person in his life for almost thirty years.
Ji Shen held the umbrella, but his thoughts were already far away, he couldn't quite understand people like Gu Hansheng.
They have developed minds, so their style of action is inevitably different from ordinary people, but he wants to see how crazy the boss can be in the end, whether the world will destroy him first, or the world will destroy him in the end.
Digging graves is not an easy task.
The new grave that was just raised in the afternoon, because it was snowing and the temperature was very low, the soil layer was quickly frozen.
Relying on Gu Hansheng like this, there is no way to dig it up.
Ji Shen saw that he threw a shovel later, and went to dig the soil with his bare hands, and the ice slag mixed with the soil sank into his nails, until the blood was found in the ten fingers, and he didn't make a name.
The next morning's regular meeting.
Everyone sitting at the oval conference table clearly saw Gu Hansheng's bloodstained ten fingers and the unwashed soil on his fingers.
From beginning to end, there was nothing but the voices of the trembling people on the stage.
After the whole meeting, everyone's eyes were almost attracted by Gu Hansheng, and Gu Hansheng kept his head down, as if he was pretending to sleep, and seemed to be pondering, but no one knew what he was thinking.
Later, when the meeting ended, everyone left under Ji Shen's greeting, leaving Gu Hansheng alone.
Later, the cleaner went in to clean up.
I saw a little water stain under a certain seat, and I thought it was the water in the cup that was spilled, but the tea on this seat still maintained the appearance of the original serving, and no one had ever drunk it at all.
The cleaner couldn't figure it out, shook his head, and wiped out those traces with a flick of the mop.
When the secretary went to the president's office to deliver the materials, she held her breath, took the document signed by Gu Hansheng and said hello, and she didn't want to turn around and leave.
But Gu Hansheng raised his head after signing and didn't hand her the document for the first time, his gaze seemed to pass through the time tilt and fell on the area behind her.
But just a few seconds later, Gu Hansheng gave the document to Shi Tian.
When Shi Tian turned to leave, she was stopped by Gu Hansheng, she turned around, and the corners of her mouth tried to pull out a little smile, but she found that she couldn't do it, so she gave up and lowered her head and called Mr. Gu.
Gu Hansheng pointed to the sofa area behind her and asked, "Do you think there can be hallucinations here?"
A chill ran down her spine, her fingers pinching the hard shell of the folder, and then shook her head.
Out of the office.
Shi Tian went straight to Ji Shen's office.
"Ji Tesuke!"
Ji Shen was meeting with a client, but he didn't expect Shi Tian to suddenly break in, he frowned, Shi Tian understood, and hurriedly turned around and went out.
Half an hour later, someone from the secretarial office sent the client away.
Shi Tian rushed directly in front of Ji Shen, she stroked her chest, and said in shock, "What is Mr. Gu doing these days?"
Ji Shen looked at her and didn't speak.
Shi Tian crossed his hands, rubbed his arms, and said, "I heard from the little secretaries in my office that Mr. Gu comes every morning with two cups of black coffee, and in the afternoon, what is this person going to do?"
She shook her head and said, "When my wife died, Mr. Gu didn't give her a decent funeral, and he didn't even clarify the slander against her on the Internet. ”
The book is good, I don't know the whole picture, so I won't comment.
Every time she wanted to rush up and give each of those who chewed the root of her tongue a big ear, but every time she held back.
Gu Hansheng didn't care, she was a secretary, why bother.
It's just that occasionally I feel that it's not worth it.
Shi Lean's words, Ji Shen couldn't answer.
It was he who did not dare to answer.
Can he tell Shi Tian, in your eyes, Mr. Gu, who wears a suit and smokes hand-rolled cigarettes, drinks several times black coffee every day to survive, is a person who goes to the suburban cemetery to dig up graves at night?
Of course you can't say that.
Ji Shen only said: "Don't worry about Mr. Gu's business, do your own enough." ”
Gu Hansheng dug intermittently for a week, Ji Shen didn't understand this behavior at first, but later, he seemed to understand it instantly.
It's not that he doesn't let the cool sink into the ground.
Mr. Gu was just afraid that they wouldn't treat her well.
He took out the urn, wiped the dried mud off it with a handkerchief, then put the box back in, closed the coffin, and buried it again.
After all this, the sky was almost dawning.
With the mountains rolling in the distance and the blue crab shells connecting to the sky, it looks like a good day today.
On the way down the mountain, Ji Shen handed him Gu Hansheng's coat, Gu Hansheng put the coat in the crook of his arm, and instructed Ji Shen while walking down the mountain: "Send a lawyer's letter to the outside world, including but not limited to those who slander Mrs. Gu Hansheng on the Internet these days, send them one by one, and count the accounts one by one." ”
"In addition, I asked the public relations department to draft documents and issue a statement, I have never divorced Ah Shu, and she has not died as the public said. ”
"Remember that the meeting will not be opened, any jumping feet or dissatisfied voices on the Internet will be dealt with without leaving a trace, Qian Gu's smashed up, depending on whether some people choose to be a good person with their tails between their legs or choose to be permanently sealed, any choice we respect and welcome. ”
Ji Shen heard every word clearly.
Every sentence taken apart can be understood by him.
But together, he didn't understand, Gu Hansheng made it clear that he was covering the sky with one hand, reversing right and wrong.
After getting into the car, Ji Shen finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Sir, are you ...... I know there are some things I shouldn't say, but my wife has ......."
In the back seat, the cold wind rushed into the carriage, Gu Hansheng didn't raise his eyelids, and said, "Ah Shu, she's not dead." ”
He always felt that she was not dead.
In the next few decades, even if he can't find her, she can always live in his heart.
The car started, Gu Hansheng opened his eyelids, and he looked towards the foggy mountain, where the ever-bright lights of some new graves were still on in the wind and snow.
He said to Ji Shen in the front seat, "Find time to bring Ayun over and bury her next to her." ”
"Yes. Ji Shen bowed.
It's less than seven or eight o'clock in the morning.
It is the time when office workers shuttle between the steel and concrete of the city, the cold streets, the passers-by are in a hurry, the noisy coffee shops are full of people, and the crowded subway stations are crowded.
It's time for a new day to begin.
Almost all of us have blown up the news and entertainment software on their phones.
Gu issued several official documents in a row, and the top one was a description of his marital status with Liang Shu and Liang Shu's death status.
The content revealed in it completely subverts the inherent impression established in everyone's mind.
What is also shocking is that Gu's lawyer team has made hundreds of social accounts in a row, and made an explanation, saying that Gu's lawyer team sent lawyer letters to these people respectively, and said that it is not difficult to find out the real-life identities of these people, and I hope these people will do it themselves.
However, these accounts of Aite themselves are useless even if they reform themselves, and they will be legally responsible.
But Gu's statement is one thing, and what netizens think in the end is another.
This version is not what they want to see, so after dinner, everyone discussed the previous version.
......
This is the most difficult Chinese New Year's Eve that Wen Mingting has had for so many years.
It has been a month since Liang Shu's death.
After returning from the suburban cemetery, Wen Mingting never left the Gu family's house again, eating fasting and chanting Buddha all day long, and never heard anything from the outside world.
But when it was Chinese New Year's Eve, she still had hope in her heart and wanted to spend it with Gu Hansheng.
Liang Qing called Gu Hansheng and euphemistically expressed the idea that the old lady wanted to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with him.
Gu Hansheng muttered for a moment on the other end of the phone, but still responded.
He's busy these days.
It's a real busy.
So when I came in the evening, it was a little late.
The chef brought the soup back to the kitchen and heated it up, and Gu Hansheng just washed his hands and came out of the bathroom.
There were three pairs of dishes and chopsticks, Liang Qing and Wen Mingting sat on one side, and he sat opposite them.
Liang Qing saw him coming out of the bathroom and hurriedly beckoned him over.
Gu Hansheng glanced at the dining table, calmly turned around and went to the kitchen, and when he came out, he had an extra pair of cutlery in his hand.
Wen Mingting looked at him, and after only a while, she lowered her head, her nose was sore, and her tears fell to the ground one by one.
I saw Gu Hansheng put this tableware next to him, and then calmly put the soup in the soup bowl in front of Wen Mingting and Liang Qing, and put some vegetables on the plate, and then picked up his chopsticks.
