Chapter 308: A New Beginning
Hearing this name at first glance, Chu Ci was slow to react for a moment.
She turned her face to Fu Heng: "He's back?"
Of course, this is not the point, the point is whether you can see Qi Jue.
Of course, Fu Heng understood what she meant, and said after a while, "I'll help you make an appointment to meet him." ”
As for how much of the rest of the things can be asked, or whether it has anything to do with it, it depends on whether Qi Jue's mouth can be pried open.
Four years ago, Fu Heng looked for Qi Jue once, but at that time, Qi Jue was vague and didn't say anything at all, so this time there may be little hope.
But Chu Ci had the only hope, and he pinned it on Qi Jue.
Even if the final result was unacceptable, she felt that she should have such a strong heart.
After all, four years have passed.
I don't know what method Fu Heng used, Chu Ci really saw Qi Jue.
It was Sunday afternoon, and Qi Jue made an appointment with a high-end box in Allure.
As soon as Chu Ci entered, he saw a very tall man, with dark skin and well-defined facial features.
Four years ago, she didn't even remember Qi Jue's appearance, let alone know her.
So she clenched her fingers and asked cautiously, "Is it Mr. Qi?"
Qi Jue sat on the sofa and raised his face to look at her: "Miss Chu, please take a seat!"
His appearance looks upright, and military life has exercised his angular facial features and the unique tough guy temperament of a soldier.
Very different.
Chu Ci just thinks so, he is very different from the people he has known over the years.
She didn't say anything, she just sat down on the sofa. It's just that before he could speak, Qi Jue took out a stack of documents from the black briefcase and handed them directly to Chu Ci: "Look for yourself!"
When Fu Heng came to him four years ago, he hadn't sorted out this document yet.
Chu Ci was stunned for a moment, then took the document with both hands, opened it and saw that it was about the investigation results of the accident that year.
From beginning to end, it was an accidental traffic accident, and the result was clearly written, and the driver was the only one who was salvaged.
Chu Ci put down the document expressionlessly, her face was a little stiff, and it took a while for her to speak: "I know all this." ”
Although these documents disclosed more details, they were reported in the news back then, and she later went to the police station to verify them, and now she doesn't feel more emotional.
Qi Jue raised his eyebrows and smiled without leaving a trace: "Then what do you want to know?"
Chu Ci took a deep breath: "Mr. Qi, I came to you for my friend?"
"Oh?"
"Lu Xiang, Lu Xiang, you should know each other!"
It's been a long, long time, and she hasn't said this name herself, first, no one can say it, but after saying it, she is afraid that she won't be able to control her emotions.
Now her mood is starting to break down a little.
Even if he tried his best to endure it, there were still faint tears in Chu Ci's eyes, and even his voice was a little choked.
Qi Jue was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "I know, what's wrong?"
Chu Ci took a deep breath: "Actually, she hasn't heard from me all these years, and she hasn't contacted me. ”
Qi Jue was still silent: "And then?"
When a man reaches his age, he can basically be moody, although he is still very young, less than thirty years old.
Chu Ci took a deep breath again, adjusted his emotions, and then said his doubts back then.
It's been four years, and this matter has been pressed on my heart for four years.
The initial despair, anger, and still have a glimmer of hope, but in the end, the harvest is only despair.
Qi Jue listened to her words quietly, and could see that Chu Ci was really trying his best to hide his feelings.
After graduating from high school, he went to join the army, and he was actually not very familiar with Lu Xiang's later social circle, Lu Xiang was too sharp before college, and he was almost incompatible with his classmates in the kind of school that only knew how to study hard, so he rarely had close friends.
And it is precisely because of this incompatibility that Qi Jue will notice her.
After being silent for a while, Qi Jue spoke: "Do you have any evidence that she was in the car at the time?"
Chu Ci smiled bitterly: "If there is evidence, I will not come to you rashly." ”
Qi Jue waved his hand: "Don't be so polite, I have already told you everything I know, I said this when Fu Heng came to me four years ago, and I still say this four years later, it hasn't changed." ”
Chu Ci was stunned!
Fu Heng also looked for him?
Qi Jue quickly said: "There is no evidence for what you said, there is no way to confirm it, and it is too late for you to file a case now." ”
There was a bit of sympathy in his eyes: "Sometimes there is no hope but there is the greatest hope." ”
After that, he didn't want to say more.
Chu Ci took a deep breath again: "Mr. Qi, if the accident back then really has something else, please tell me that Lu Xiang is my best friend and is very important to me." ”
Qi Jue sighed: "I'm also sorry, I really can't help too much with your friend's matter, I didn't personally participate in the salvage back then, so I don't understand what you said." ”
Chu Ci was silent, and at that moment he felt a thick despair.
yes, there's nothing more desperate than that.
She didn't speak anymore, but took a sip of the tea on the coffee table, and then spoke again: "That's really bothering you." ”
After saying that, she stood up and walked out with a little vague steps.
At the moment when Chu Ci turned to leave, Qi Jue's eyebrows suddenly fell with a layer of heavy haze.
Can he tell her the truth?
But now he doesn't trust anyone anymore, after all, the most important thing is Lu Xiang's safety, although Lu Xiang is absolutely safe with her now, but out of his selfishness, he still doesn't want anyone to know Lu Xiang's whereabouts.
After all, she doesn't remember the past now, and even if she has changed her appearance, he will arrange a new identity for her and start a new life with a new identity.
For more than 20 years, or even almost 30 years, she has been very chaotic and depressed.
Even if it looks like it's always bright and cold, I don't care, but in fact, I care more than anyone else.
Now that he can finally start again, he is reluctant to bring her into the whirlpool of the past again, so some people are still not good again.
His heart is not so kind, he will not take into account everyone's emotions, and he will not take care of everyone's emotions, plus Lu Xiang is shocked and doesn't remember the previous things, so at this stage, it is better not to make extraneous branches.
Qi Jue sat in the box, the curtains were closed, the space was very closed, and only the dim lights were lit up.
In the silent space, only a shallow sigh can be heard.
…………
After Chu Ci returned home, he didn't say a word, and went directly to the second floor.
Baozi and Mianmian looked confused, completely unaware of what was going on.
When it was time to eat, the new maid in the family didn't dare to go upstairs to call Chu Ci on his own initiative, so he said to Baozi and Mianmian: "Why don't you two go up and ask your mother to come down for dinner?"
Mianmian and Baozi thought that Chu Ci came back just now without saying a word, so they hesitated a little: "Mom seems to be in a bad mood." ”
Once you are in a bad mood, you don't want to eat, this is Chu Ci's little habit for so many years.
When he was in the United States before, Baozi had a few impressions that Mianmian was still taken care of by Jiang Xing at that time, so he had to call An Shaoyun.
Baozi thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go up and call Mom!"
After speaking, he got up on his short legs and went upstairs to prepare to call Chu Ci down for dinner.
The bedroom door was not closed, revealing a glimmer of light inside.
Baozi pushed open the door, and saw Chu Ci lying on the bed with his back to the door, he walked over lightly and called, "Mom!"
Chu Ci turned his face to look at him: "What's wrong?"
Her voice was hoarse, and her face shone in the light.
Baozi reached out and touched her face, cold and wet.
He suddenly panicked: "Mom, are you crying?"
Chu Ci hurriedly wiped his face: "I'm too sleepy, so I'm in tears." ”
Baozi held her hand: "Mom, do you want to eat?"
Chu Ci shook his head: "Mom is not very comfortable, I don't really want to eat." ”
"But it's hard to skip a meal!"
Chu Ci still shook his head: "Baozi, you are good, my mother is very uncomfortable and wants to sleep." ”
Baozi nodded: "Okay, then I'll let Aunt Li keep the rice, and then you can get up when you want to eat it, okay?"
With that little light, Chu Ci looked at Baozi's fair-skinned and handsome little face, and smiled: "Okay, Baozi, you go eat it first!"
For so many years, the reason for supporting her to survive is only two children.
There was a period of decadence and malaise to a certain level, and I began to take antidepressant drugs to improve my spirits, but in the end it had no effect.
It was only when he saw the little faces of these two children that Chu Ci felt calm and down-to-earth in his heart.
Chu Ci slept and woke up at eight o'clock in the evening.
She got up with her head and walked downstairs, and the two children were sitting on the sofa watching TV, and when they saw her coming down, they immediately asked, "Mom, are you feeling better?"
Chu Ci smiled slightly: "Well, it's better." ”
Aunt Li also came over to help, and when she saw Chu Ci coming down, she hurriedly asked, "Does Miss Chu want to eat?"
Chu Ci glanced at the time: "Hasn't Mr. come back yet?"
Aunt Li was also puzzled: "Maybe I'm busy with work today!"
Fu Heng has come back quite early in the past few days, and he hasn't gone home since eight o'clock today.
Chu Ci didn't speak, took a sip of water, looked at the food handed to her and lost all interest in an instant, she pushed away the bowl: "I won't eat it." ”
With that, she went upstairs again.
Aunt Li had no choice but to call Fu Heng: "Mr. Fu, Miss Chu doesn't seem to be feeling well today, do you want to come back early?"
Fu Heng had told her before that Chu Ci had something to tell him, no matter how small the matter was.
Fu Heng pondered for a while: "Okay!"
