Ning Keyan listened to Gu Zhenghao's words, she didn't react at all, and she didn't say a word, she just buried her head and sobbed.

Gu Dongning looked at her mother, and then looked at Gu Zhenghao, "You still love her, don't you?" ”

"Hmm." Gu Zhenghao still didn't hide it, he knew that what Gu Dongning said was Zheng Peipei, and he loved her, which was not something that could be solved by hiding it.

Gu Dongning, who had red circles under his eyes, suddenly smiled, and a mocking smile appeared on Tie Qing's face, no longer looking at Gu Zhenghao, and turned around to help him up, "Mom, let's go home." ”

Ning Ke was passively pulled away by Gu Dongning, still didn't say anything, and was not even in the mood to wipe her tears, just hanging on her face like that.

Bai Yiru's eyes fell on the backs of Gu Dongning and Ning Keyan, her heartache was even worse, and she cried even more. She wanted to catch up and apologize to them, but she didn't have the face to face them.

Just yesterday, she was still thinking about being good to Ning Ke for the rest of her life, but today something like this happened, how could she be worthy of her mother-in-law's kindness to herself, and how could she be worthy of Gu Dongning's unreserved love and marriage.

"Mom, what the hell am I going to do? What should I do? She tugged at her heart, but the pain still didn't ease even a bit. Mom, why is this happening? Why? Fingers stroking the cold photo on the tombstone, she kept asking why.

Gu Zhenghao stood for a few minutes, sighed, and said to Bai Yiru, "Get up and go home." It's all my fault, don't ask Pepe, she's not having a good time......"

Bai Yiru didn't seem to hear Gu Zhenghao's words, she just cried bitterly, her crying eyes were red and swollen, her eyes were blurry, she couldn't see anything clearly, and even the photos of her mother were covered with a layer of mist, becoming more and more rough and blurry in her mind, and she had no impression.

"Go home. Don't cry anymore. Gu Zhenghao knew in his heart that at this moment, he should give Bai Yiru some personal time and let her quietly accept the facts, but he also knew her current status, so he was afraid that Simon would take the opportunity to make trouble in the back, and Gu Dongning was not there, she would be more dangerous, so he didn't leave first, but kept persuading his daughter-in-law to go home.

"Leave me alone." The last person Bai Yiru wants to see now is Gu Zhenghao, he tirelessly persuaded her, but after all, she was angry, and she refused his kindness without raising her head.

"Your current condition is dangerous. I'll go ahead and wait for you, and I'll give you another half hour. Gu Zhenghao shook his head, looked at Zheng Peipei's photo again, left first, turned a corner, and stood there waiting.

The heartbroken Bai Yiru was tired of crying, so she curled up motionless in front of the tombstone, her cheek pressed against her mother's photo.

"Mom, Dong Ning won't forgive me. I know he's always been mindful of your stake, even though he's never said it. He also wants his mother to get a complete love and be loved by his husband for a lifetime, which is not wrong, I have also thought so, I have looked forward to it like this, but ...... Mom, what if Dong Ning doesn't want me anymore? Bai Yiru, who had been silent for a long time, was in a surging mood, and talked to her mother as if she was talking to herself.

"Mother-in-law must hate me to death, right? She also paid a lot for me to be recognized by my grandfather, but in the end, things became like this, how sad should she be? What will happen to her marriage to her father? She was so worried about her marriage to Gu Zhenghao, but with her current position and identity, she had no way to do anything.

"Why don't I leave? Mom, if I leave, Dong Ning and her mother-in-law won't be uncomfortable, right? But I can't let go of Tanabata and Chiayi ......" she said, and began to cry again, crying and crying, and hit the tombstone with her head.

"Bai Yiru! You want to die?! I won't let you die lightly! Your mother owes my mother, and I want you to pay it back! ”

Suddenly, Gu Dongning quickly rushed out, pulled Bai Yiru up, pinched her neck fiercely with his fingers, his eyes were round, and his resentful gaze flew towards her face like an arrow.

"Dongning......" Bai Yiru sniffed, and after seeing Gu Dongning, she couldn't help but burst into tears, but there was a smile on her face, "I'm not looking for death." No. She shook her head in a panic and explained, regardless of the fact that her neck was about to be broken by him, "I just want to hit my head a little clearer and think about what to do." ”

Gu Dongning's other hand was clenched into a fist, his finger bones were white, trembling slightly, his heart was flushed with anger, and he wanted to kill Bai Yiru with one fist, so the fist was waved out uncontrollably.

"Dong Ning......" Bai Yiru was frightened by Gu Dongning's posture, her eyes widened, she forgot to cry, and looked at the fist with horror and struck at her eyebrows.

"Ah!!h Gu Dongning roared angrily, but the fist hit the pine tree behind Bai Yiru, only breaking the trunk. He clenched his fists, closed his eyes, let go of her neck, and turned to leave.

"Dong Ning." Bai Yiru hurriedly reached out to pull Gu Dongning's hand, afraid that if he left, he would really lose him completely.

"Don't touch me." Gu Dongning turned his head, viciously, coldly, staring at Bai Yiru with eyes with that unattainable sense of distance.

Bai Yiru's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, not wanting to take it back, not daring to touch Gu Dongning, she frowned, and looked at him with blank eyes, "I'm sorry, Dongning, I'm sorry, I know you're starting to hate me, but can you not do this to me?" I'm so sad and so sad. I know I don't have the face to beg you for this, but I love you so much that I don't want to lose you......"

Gu Dongning's feet that he just wanted to take a step out of, moved, but still didn't move, just stood with his back to Bai Yiru, turned his head to look at her, his heart fluctuated violently, and his gloomy face was in stark contrast to the clear sky.

"Can I stay with you? I just want to stay with you. Dong Ning, even if you are angry, let me be the maid in the house, I just want to stay by your side. Bai Yiru begged in a low voice, she loved him too much, and her face and dignity were not as important as him.

"Good. Then you will be a servant. Pay off all that your mother owes my mother. If my parents are divorced, then-" Gu Dongning gritted his teeth and stuck Bai Yiru's chin again, "You will use your life to compensate me!" ”

Bai Yiru's jaw hurt as if it was about to be crushed, but she didn't seem to feel it, she just smiled and agreed, "Hmm." Good. Thank you, Dongning, thank you. ”

"Now go back and start working as a servant right away!" Gu Dongning let go of Bai Yiru and pointed to the way back.

Bai Yiru nodded and took two steps, but found that Gu Dongning was standing still, so he looked back at him: "Aren't you leaving?" ”

"When will it be the servant's turn to take charge of the master?" Gu Dongning asked viciously.

"Oh." Bai Yiru responded, lowered her head, turned around and walked forward, her tears fell uselessly, she wiped her tears and told herself, this is enough, don't ask too much, Dong Ning can let herself stay is already considered merciful, she can no longer expect him to treat her as before.

The figure in front of him turned a corner, and he was no longer visible, Gu Dongning, who was as strong as iron, suddenly collapsed his shoulders, the whole person took off his disguise, stroked his forehead weakly, pulled his hair twice, and his painful eyes and neck were sour.

The family returned to their house on Linjiang Road.

Rather go back to the room and sleep, Gu Zhenghao smoked one by one on the balcony, Gu Jiayi and Gu Qixi were consciously taken to the roof by Damei, Gu Dongning locked himself in the study and couldn't come out, the house was shrouded in silence, and the silence was a little scary.

Bai Yiru walked around the room a few times at a loss, hesitated to the door of the study, and knocked lightly, "Dongning, are you hungry?" Shall I cook you noodles? ”

With his feet on the table, Gu Dongning, who was leaning on the chair, heard Bai Yiru's words, and felt a little hungry, but he didn't speak.

"Dong Ning?" Bai Yiru knocked timidly on the door.

"Don't be so ......" affectionately call me!

Gu Dongning suddenly gathered her legs and stood up, went to open the door, and roared at Bai Yiru, but after seeing her white and bloodless face, she still couldn't say it.

"I ......" Bai Yiru was frightened by Gu Dongning's posture, thinking that he was going to beat someone, so he dodged before standing still, and explained timidly and cautiously, "I'm going to cook noodles, what kind of food do you want to eat?" ”

"Shiitake mushrooms." After Gu Dongning finished speaking, he closed the door again with a 'snap', turned his back to the door panel, and said to Bai Yiru outside the door, "Don't take the initiative to talk to me without my permission in the future." He knew she hadn't left, and he knew she was reluctant to go.

"I see." Bai Yiru answered and went to the kitchen to get busy.

After a while, a bowl of fragrant mushroom and green vegetable noodles was cooked.

Bai Yiru put the noodles into a bowl, poured some soup, put a little chopped green onions, took chopsticks, and walked to the study.

"Dongning, the noodles are ready. But it's time to eat. She stood in the doorway, her hands occupied, unable to knock on the door, only shouting.

Gu Dongning swallowed slowly, and as soon as he went to open the door, there was a sound of pain at the door.

He looked at the noodles scattered on the ground, and then at Bai Yiru who was full of soup, and frowned, "The young lady is used to it, and she can't do these simple things?" ”

"It's not. I forgot to use a tray, the bowl is too hot, you open the door slowly, so ......" Bai Yiru's fingers were red from the soup, but fortunately there were no blisters, and she put her hands behind her back uneasily.

"You're accusing me?"

"It's not. I'm going to recook the noodles, you wait. Bai Yiru said and ran away.

Back in the kitchen, she put her red fingers under the water to rinse, but she saw blisters and pained badly, and she planned to go to the bathroom to find some toothpaste to apply, and when she turned around, she saw Gu Dongning standing at the door of the kitchen.

"I ......" she just wanted to say that she was fine, but the person in front of her was already gone, and left without mercy.

With a bitter smile, she lowered her head, didn't bother to go to the bathroom again, turned on the fire and continued to cook noodles.

The second bowl of noodles was finally delivered to Gu Dongning.

"You eat, when you're done, call me to collect the dishes and chopsticks." Bai Yiru put down the tray and turned to leave, although she really wanted to stay and accompany Gu Dongning to eat together, as sweet and greasy as before, but she knew better that he didn't want to see her now.

"Take this. Don't expect to use your wounds to gain sympathy from me, I'm not that soft-hearted. Gu Dongning put a scalding ointment on the desk, and said without looking at Bai Yiru, while taking chopsticks and eating noodles.

"Oh." Bai Yiru smiled uselessly, holding the ointment, just like a girl received a love letter written by a boy she liked for the first time, and the baby went out like something.

Gu Dongning swallowed the noodles, looked at the closed door, and looked down at the noodles, he really still liked the taste, what should he do if he can't quit liking?

After eating the noodles, he didn't ask Bai Yiru to collect the dishes and chopsticks, but took them to the kitchen to wash them himself, and went to the balcony to find Gu Zhenghao.

"Dong Ning......" Gu Zhenghao extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, took out another one, looked back at his son, wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, so he only called his name.

"Let's talk." Gu Dongning dropped a sentence and went to the direction of the study again.

Gu Zhenghao put the cigarette he took out into the cigarette case, threw the lighter on the balcony, and kept up with his son's footsteps.

The door to the study was closed, and father and son sat opposite each other in silence.

"What are you going to do?" In the end, it was Gu Dongning who broke the silence and looked at his father with a serious face.

"I'm not going to divorce your mother." Gu Zhenghao knew what Gu Dongning was asking, and he knew that his son was as clear as his father, even if his son didn't want to speak clearly, he could still understand it.

"Do you think Mom will forgive you?" Gu Dongning's heart was a little more relaxed, there was nothing to worry about on his father's side, but what about his mother's side? Who knows who is also a strong mother, and who chooses what.

"I don't know. But, Dongning—" Gu Zhenghao took a deep breath, his face was heavy, and his tone was heavy, "I won't let you lose your mother, and I won't let Qixi and Chiayi lose their grandmother." As long as I try, your mother will never mind. ”

"I don't mind you, or I don't mind Yiru?" Gu Dongning asked this, and the pain in his heart hit his whole body again.

His hand in his trouser pocket clenched the lighter that had followed him for years. He once thought that Bai Yiru would be by his side forever like this lighter, as long as he didn't say give up, it and her would not be lost, but now...... That's probably what you can't help yourself, right?

"......" Gu Zhenghao's painful and tangled gaze fell on his son's face, and he couldn't answer this question either, so he could only remain silent.

"I'm going back to Düsseldorf tomorrow." Gu Dongning said that his decision was the result of thinking about it since he came back from the cemetery.

"I listen to you." Gu Zhenghao nodded, there is nothing wrong with going back, but here, everyone will think of Zheng Peipei, and no one will feel relaxed.
