"Isn't this another reversal of the teacher's mantra?" Marco joked.

"Those students who love to skip class and don't study, I think you will all have to drink the northwest wind in the future, and you won't even be able to get a wife!" Tong Xiaoxin pinched her throat to learn from the previous teacher, the boys in the class at that time liked to skip class the most, and the teacher had to recite such a sentence in every class.

"Haha." Recalling that year, Bai Yiru couldn't help laughing, "Ma Ke, have you found a wife?" ”

"It's not going to be checked much, it's almost there." Ma Ke smiled and pulled over a beautiful woman sitting next to him, and said a little shyly, "My fiancée, Ma Jiaru, both teach piano." ”

The beautiful woman beside Ma Ke smiled shyly and nodded to everyone, "Hello, I used to always listen to Ako in advance of you!" ”

"Jiaru, Yiru, is actually the same word. And Ma Ke, Jiaru beauty still has the same surname as you. What a fate! Tong Xiaoxin's eyes wandered, and a pair of eyes shone brightly.

"Sit here, and I'll tell the students to move a few more chairs." As he spoke, Marco waved his hand to the two students.

"Then two more." Bai Yiru reminded.

Ma Ke clearly instructed the students: "Bring four chairs and put them on my side." ”

Gu Dongning and Ning Xiuji were surrounded by a group of girls because they were too handsome, and they finally passed through the crowd to the front row, and both of them had a gloomy look on their faces.

"Chased again?" Tong Xiaoxin grabbed Ning Xiuji's arm, "This is my boyfriend." ”

"Fiancé." Ning Xiuji changed his title without authorization.

"Boyfriend." Tong Xiaoxin insisted on her opinion.

"Fiancé." Ning Xiuji stroked Tong Xiaoxin's hair, smiling like the sunshine after the rain, "My boyfriend is too ugly, my husband is the best, but I haven't got a certificate to work yet." ”

"Okay, don't get tired of it, sit down and watch the show." Bai Yiru leaned next to Gu Dongning and said to Tong Xiaoxin, and a pair of hosts had already walked up on the stage, and the background music was changed to a sensational type.

"You're less tired than we are?" Tong Xiaoxin retorted and sat down with everyone.

After the host student finished his opening speech, he introduced the first program.

"Speaking of performances, our star band in the sun is indispensable, and the 'In the Name of Love' band will bring you a song "Youth Dance"."

As the hostess's voice fell, the members of the band rushed onto the stage amid the screams and cheers of the students, kicking off the carnival moment.

"They're much younger and more fashionable than we were back then." Bai Yiru and Gu Dongning's hands were clasped and placed on the armrest of the chair, glanced back at him, and then looked at the stage.

Tian Huihui's voice has a strong explosive power, which is not at all different from her sweet appearance, if it weren't for the people who saw her and heard her voice, many people would not believe that this voice came from her mouth.

After singing the song, Tian Huihui stood at the front of the stage with the microphone in both hands, and said with a slight breath: "Our 'In the Name of Love' band is the second phase, do you want to see the performance of the seniors in the first phase?" She stretched out the microphone to the audience, put one hand to her ear, and waited until everyone said excitedly 'yes' before she said, "Then we are lucky today, it is a coincidence that our seniors are here, shall we invite them to the stage?" ”

"Good!" The audience shouted excitedly again.

Bai Yiru and Tong Xiaoxin looked at each other, and then looked at Ma Ke together.

"Let's go. The kids were welcoming. It's a debriefing performance, but it doesn't matter. Ma Ke knew that they were worried about affecting the school's hosting of the party.

"But Pete isn't here, just the three of us?" Tong Xiaoxin asked, stood up and followed Ma Ke and them to the stage.

Tian Huihui respectfully greeted the three of them on stage, and then introduced them one by one.

"This is our art teacher, the drummer and pianist in the name of love. This is Senior Sister Bai Yiru, the lead singer, the same as Pete. Of course, Pete is also a bass player. This is Tong Xiaoxin, a piano and guitarist. ”

Bai Yiru and the three of them waved to the enthusiastic students in the audience and bowed to express their gratitude.

"Senior Sister Bai, how about performing for us again tonight? We're all looking forward to seeing you live. Tian Huihui said as she took off the guitar on her body, and the other members also handed over their instruments and waited for Bai Yiru to perform.

"It is really our honor and blessing to be able to perform here tonight, which makes us feel the beauty of our student days again, and makes the inseparable memories in our hearts more and more visible. Thank you, thank you teachers, thank you for your kindness. Bai Yiru, who spoke to the Mark style, was also very excited, and there were even tears inspired by the coexistence of emotion and excitement in the corners of her eyes, she raised her hand and touched the corners of her eyes, "The four of us used to be a team, and now we all have our own lives and careers, and only Pete continues to continue our music dream." We're here tonight, and it's a shame Pete wasn't there. ”

"Senior Sister Bai, in fact, in order to surprise everyone, we have kept a secret." Tian Huihui pointed to the curtain behind her mysteriously, "Everyone applauded, Senior Pete, please!" ”

The heavy curtain slowly opened to both sides, and Pete stepped forward with the bass on his back, wearing leather gloves with exposed fingers, and greeted everyone in a leather suit.

"Hi everyone, I'm Pete." He was also excited, looking at his old friends, "I received a call from the dean in the afternoon, saying that he wanted me to come to the show, I just came back for vacation, the time was very coincidental, I didn't expect to be able to make up the people in our band." ”

"So at such an exciting time, what song does Senior Pete want to sing to us with his teammates?" Tian Huihui became a guest host at the moment, interacting on and off the stage.

"I think the one that can best express our feelings can only be Zang Tianshuo's "Friends"!" After Pete finished speaking, he took the bass out from behind him and posed, "Friends, guys!" ”

Bai Yiru and the others took their respective instruments, and the music sounded again.

"A popular song, I believe everyone can sing it, let's sing it together, okay?" She was in a state of turmoil, this song was sung at the graduation party, at that time she wanted to separate, and Tong Xiaoxin bit out of the country, everyone was very sad, and she just wanted to use the affection expressed in the lyrics to express her heart.

The students in the audience have changed batch after batch, of course, I don't know what Bai Yiru's performance was like when they graduated, but the older teachers still remember it vividly, looking at the students who used to be on stage, their hearts were full of emotion.

"I still remember that day they all cried, but I didn't expect Xiaoxin to have planned to leave." Ning Xiuji felt the most uncomfortable in his heart, after all, that time was the saddest time for him.

"Maybe she had already planned it, and she really died for you at that time." Gu Dongning can best understand the taste of leaving alone, and he can also best understand the taste of being discarded, after all, he has experienced the most unhappy first love, and met the best partner in this life.

"Thankfully, she chose to forgive me."

"So you should be glad to be kind to others."

"It's not better, it's to be good to her wholeheartedly." Ning Xiuji smiled at the corner of his mouth, he really had to thank God for not maliciously making people at this point, and he also had to thank Tong Xiaoxin for the love in his heart that was still there.

The band only came to perform as a guest, so they only sang one song and came off the stage.

A group of people sat in the audience to watch the performance and went to eat roadside stalls outside the school gate.

"Small hot pot, strings of incense, barbecue, beer, these are our favorites of the year." Tong Xiaoxin found the store she went to most often, but the boss had already changed, so she couldn't help but feel a little regretful, "Do you want to go in and sit down and eat here?" ”

"That's it. Anyway, the decoration has not been changed, there is a feeling. "Pete Tiyì, who is already a star, has changed into the simplest sportswear at the moment, wearing a hat on his head and a pair of black-framed glasses, covering up the fashion atmosphere on his body and hiding his identity.

Everyone ate the simplest roadside stalls together, but they were all in a strange mood.

But this good mood didn't last long, and it was broken by a phone call.

Gu Dongning hung up the phone, his face was a little dark, "Yiru, you play with everyone, I have to go first in some things." Xiu Ji came with me. ”

"What's the matter?" Bai Yiru felt very bad, and always felt that Gu Dongning had something to deliberately avoid her, and it was precisely because of this that her heart was even more uneasy.

Tong Xiaoxin also looked at Gu Dongning, not understanding why he had to call Ning Xiuji if he wanted to leave.

Ning Xiuji didn't look curious, anyway, he knew that something was wrong, otherwise Gu Dongning's expression would not be so strict.

"I'll sue you later. We have to go. Gu Dongning stood up and took out a card to Bai Yiru, "You pay for all the expenses tonight, this gold card can be infinitely overdrawn, use it with confidence, and have fun." ”

"Dongning!" Bai Yiru also stood up, stepped forward and grabbed Gu Dongning, who had taken two steps, "What is the matter?" I'm angry if you don't say it! We are husband and wife, what can't we share? I also want to be your helper, not just to be protected by you. ”

"It's not. Yiru-" Bai Yiru thought about it, Gu Dongning hesitated and still planned to sue her, after all, she also has the right to know the truth, "Mother's grave was dug up, and the tombstone was broken. ”

"W-What?!" Bai Yiru's eyes were dark, and she almost fainted.

"Who is so lacking in virtue that he even digs a grave!" Tong Xiao slapped the table happily, the tombstone was still erected by Bai Yiru's hard work to make money, Bai Lixing and they didn't care at all, and now there are still people who are bullying people too much to dig up the grave!

"Yiru, don't be too upset, let's go over and have a look." Gu Dongning hugged Bai Yiru, whose body was weak and trembling with anger.

"My car is nearby, I'll take you there." Pete offered to come up and called the agent to get the car over.

They went to the cemetery together.

Bai Yiru's mother's grave has been destroyed terribly, saying that the ruins are all good, the tombstone is also broken, and the photos are torn apart. The bouquet in front of the tombstone, and the other offerings, were also trampled into a mess.

"Mom!" Bai Yiru cried and knelt on the ground, unable to believe that this was true.

"Don't cry Yiru, don't cry yet." Tong Xiaoxin knew that the verbal persuasion at the moment was very pale, but apart from this, she didn't know what to say.

Gu Dongning helped Bai Yiru and said to Ning Xiuji, "Check first." ”

Ning Xiuji and Ma Ke went to the cemetery management to investigate the situation.

Pi asked Gu Dongning's opinion to report the case, and soon the police came over and made a record of the scene.

"Who is so hateful? My mom hasn't been gone for so many years. Mother's life is hard, and she can't rest even when she dies? Bai Yiru's heartache is beyond measure.

Ning Xiuji came back and shook his head regretfully.

"How?" Tong Xiaoxin looked at him anxiously.

"This cemetery is not a formal cemetery, so the management is also loose, there is no surveillance at the door, and the only manager doesn't care who comes here every day." Ning Xiuji hadn't thought of a better way at the moment, so he could only come back and tell everyone about the current situation.

"Officer, did you find anything here?" Gu Dongning asked the policeman who had been busy for a while.

"Nope. It's strange that we didn't even find any suspicious tracks, but we did find your wife, children, and you. "The police also felt full of suspicions, clueless, and didn't know where to start investigating, and it was the first time they had seen such a thing digging a modern grave, and they had dealt with robbing ancient tombs to get antiques before, and the people who robbed the current graves didn't know what they were going to do.

"Could it be Ben?" Bai Yiru suddenly calmed down, if it was Ben, she really had nothing to say, after all, it was her mother who was wrong first.

"Ben is in Düsseldorf, we just asked someone to check it." Ning Xiuji denied that since the explosion, Gu Dongning had asked people to stare at Ben secretly, afraid that he would come again, so it was easy to know Ben's whereabouts.

"Just because he's in Germany doesn't mean he won't send people." Gu Dongning helped Bai Yiru stand up, "Let's go back first, it's late." ”

"Yes, you can go back first, and when we have the results here, we will inform you." The police officer still didn't know the identities of Gu Dongning and Ning Xiuji, so he treated them like ordinary people.

Gu Dongning glanced at a group of policemen who couldn't find anything, didn't say anything, and left directly with Bai Yiru. He had never expected this group of people to be of any use, all he wanted was that they could get some reconnaissance tools as quickly as possible. If they can't find out the cases, they will shirk them, and I don't know how many suspicious cases they have squeezed down, but it is better for him to investigate them himself.

Pete's car was parked on the edge of the simple parking lot, and no one cared about it, and no one even charged management fees, parking fees, etc., which shows how lax the management here is.

"Get in the car, be careful." Gu Dongning wiped Bai Yiru's tears, she was sad, how could he feel better.

Bai Yiru got into the car, and before she could sit down, she heard a familiar voice calling her name.

Everyone looked back.

Bai Lixing, who was so old that he seemed to be seventy years old, stood in the dark with his back bent, and his voice was a little desolate, "Ruru, it's Dad." I've got something to do with you. ”

"What's the matter?" Bai Yiru got out of the car again, Bai Lixing is his father after all, although he doesn't want to see him again over the years, he still sends him money every month, and he will buy clothes or something to send him for the New Year's holiday.

"You come with me. Let's find a place to talk. That's right-" Bai Lixing looked at Gu Dongning, "I won't hurt Ruru, if you don't worry, come along." ”

"How did you get here?" Gu Dongning suddenly felt that Bai Lixin might know a thing or two about this grave digging, but Bai Yiru, who was upset, hadn't noticed it yet.

"Take a taxi. The car was still parked outside on the side of the road. ”

"You come with us in my friend's car." Bai Yiru said as she took out a few pieces of change from Gu Dongning's wallet and went out to pay the taxi driver's fare, and only after coming back and getting in the car did everyone leave.

This is a private matter, and Ma Ke and Pete are not well involved too much, so they are responsible for sending them downstairs to Bai Lixing's house.

Bai Lixing still lives in the old house, the people upstairs and downstairs love to gossip, a certain house on the first floor does not know who opened the mahjong parlor, and it was full of people in the middle of the night.

"Hey, isn't that the father and son of the Bai family?" A fat woman looked up at the sliding door, and happened to see Bai Lixing and Bai Yiru.

"I heard that the eldest girl of the Bai family followed a rich man, and even her father didn't recognize her, why did she come back now?"

"That's it! That's it! The big girl followed the rich man, and her stepmother didn't care if she was crazy, and she didn't care about her own father, she was really ruthless. ”

"I heard that the little girl was driven away by the big girl, and after so many years, I really don't know if she is dead or alive, and she has never come back, but her evil sister has come back!"

Everyone gossiped, stretched their necks like onlookers and stars, stared at Bai Lixing and his party unreservedly, and found a new topic of gossip.

"Look, which of those two handsome tall men is the son-in-law of the big girl of the Bai family?"

"What son-in-law, that is the man who raised her, do you think a rich person will take a fancy to the daughter of the Bai family? Don't look at the situation of the Bai family, if it weren't for the big girl being raised, would she still be able to study and study until now? I heard that Bai Yiru was raised by a man when he was in junior high school, and I don't know how many men I have been with......" Before the woman finished speaking, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone, and she screamed in pain, "Oops, it hurts me!" ”

"Apologize to my wife!" Gu Dongning's vicious gaze shot at the woman chewing the root of her tongue like a flying knife.

"Huh?" The woman was caught chewing the root of her tongue, but she didn't shy away from it, and endured the pain of looking at Gu Dongning, "You really married the big girl of the Bai family?" That broken shoe......"

"Smack!"

After a crisp slap, the woman covered her face in disbelief.

Gu Dongning took the mineral water bottle from Bai Yiru's hand, washed his hands with the thousands of yuan per bottle of water, and splashed the rest on the woman's face and head.

"I think you need to sober up." He continued to glare at the woman fiercely, and for those who hurt Bai Yiru, he didn't care whether a woman would do it, "Now I apologize to my wife, and say that you and your daughter are both female cousins a thousand times, if it is not enough, just wait for me to send your daughter to be a proper female cousin!" ”

The woman was stunned, how could she scold herself, she was not stupid.

"Come and arrest someone, send them to the kinky nest! And buy the xxx community tonight and demolish it tomorrow. Gu Dongning wouldn't give this woman a third chance, he directly took out the phone and called.

"Dongning......" Bai Yiru grabbed Gu Dongning's sleeve tangledly, although he was also sad about what these people said, but it was wrong for him to do so.

"Don't worry, Yiru, as long as I'm by your side for a day, I won't allow anyone to hurt you. These people—" Gu Dongning pointed to a group of people here, "It's all self-inflicted!" ”

"But ......"

"Nothing. Eru, why should you be the one who has been suffering all along? I'm going to give you a breath! Gu Dongning was stubborn and really had nothing to say, "It's demolished here, go back to repair the villa, and give it to Xiu Ji as a wedding gift." Anyway, they haven't bought a house yet. ”

"What about these people? Where do they live? Bai Yiru looked at the group of people who were already stupid, and asked Gu Dongning anxiously, "You can't let other innocent people be implicated." I'm fine, it's just a few words, just listen to it and pass. ”

"It has nothing to do with me." Gu Dongning was stubborn.

"And where does my dad live? You don't care anymore? Bai Yiru could only move out of Bai Lixing, although she knew that Gu Dongning did not approve of her father, but the blood relationship could not be erased, as long as she insisted, he would support it.

Gu Dongning was really stunned for a moment, but he didn't change his mind.

"Buy them big houses. Here, I plan to buy them all, repair the villa, and in the future, this will be another villa area in H City. Gu Dongning suddenly saw a glimmer of business opportunities, and the corners of his mouth curved, it was not his style to make money or not.

Bai Yiru has nothing to say, what men value is their careers, she can't even interfere with his career, right?

There was a faint sound of crying in the crowd, but no one dared to speak again, for fear that if Gu Dongning was angered again, he would do something more ruthless.

"I know you're soft-hearted, otherwise it's better like this-" Gu Dongning hugged Bai Yiru distressedly and kissed her eyebrows gently, "I will settle these people's residences, and I won't let them be able to return to them, but I have fixed the villa here." ”

Bai Yiru nodded, as long as he could settle these old neighbors, otherwise these hundreds of families would have nowhere to live because of her, and she would be too guilty.

"But I have the conditions."

"On what terms?" Bai Yiru, like these neighbors, brought up her heart again.

"I want them to apologize to you. And this woman, I can not arrest people, but I can't save it when I say that she and her daughter are cousins a thousand times. Gu Dongning was really angry in his heart, when he hadn't heard it before, he didn't know how these people were abusing Bai Yiru.

The woman stood stupidly, and the others turned their attacks on her, forcing her to gossip: "You say! You didn't say you wanted to make us have nowhere to live, did you? You long-tongued woman! ”
