Chapter Eighty-Five: An Unexpected Car Accident
Cai Yuanwei took her second brother Cai Jizong and Chen Yunli to visit Gu Hanwen's crew, but she didn't know what the people she brought said to Gu Hanwen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
At Cai Yuanwei's suggestion, after the visit, everyone went to a nearby hotel for dinner together.
Cai Yuanwei was very happy that her second brother came to visit her. She has been busy with work here or in London, and has paid little attention to the companies in Hong Kong other than the necessary attention. In the Cai family, the eldest brother and the second brother have also been busy with their own careers, and their father Cai Chengde is idle, but Cai Yuanwei, who inherited the original owner's body halfway, is not very kind to this father, but is still a little strange.
Cai Yuanwei's feelings for her second brother are better than those for others, maybe because she saw him at the first sight of coming to this world, or maybe in her later life, the communication and contact between the two is much more than that of the eldest brother and her father, and it is also possible that Cai Yuanwei originally liked this brother who was not so serious, liked to laugh and make trouble, and took care of his sister.
Therefore, at the dinner table, Cai Yuanwei became the delicate girl in the impression of Cai Jizong in front of Cai Jizong, let go of her shrewd and sophisticated, calm and capable appearance on weekdays, and coquettishly played tricks on Cai Jizong in front of everyone, laughing and chatting with others warmly, laughing forward and backwards, without any image.
Gu Hanwen is the other person here who doesn't understand Cai Yuanwei's Cantonese speaking in addition to the driver Xiao Kai. Cai Yuanwei speaks Chinese very standardly, and does not speak Chinese as "Cantonese Mandarin" like most Hong Kong people. Moreover, there is no opportunity to speak Cantonese in communication in the mainland, and even if Cai Yuanwei calls back to Hong Kong and London to handle official business, she mostly speaks English. Therefore, Gu Hanwen could not understand many words in Cantonese pronunciation like a foreign language. Looking at Cai Yuanwei, Cai Jizong, and Chen Yunli chatting warmly at the dinner table, Gu Hanwen suddenly felt a sense of loneliness.
After talking to Xiao Kai next to him for a while, Gu Hanwen didn't have the heart to chat, just silently ate the dishes on the table and drank the stuffy wine silently. He didn't want to come, but in the face of Cai Yuanwei's invitation, he was reluctant to refuse. Seeing Cai Yuanwei chatting happily, he also wanted to leave early, but he greedily wanted to see more of her smiling face. In this way, the contradictory mood rises and falls, making him so depressed that he wants to vomit.
Gu Hanwen suddenly stood up without warning, startling Cai Yuanwei and the others who were chatting, and looked at him with their eyes.
Gu Hanwen smiled on his face, took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, let go and raised his hand, and said, "You guys talk slowly, I'm full and go outside to smoke a cigarette." With that, he turned and left.
Cai Yuanwei only noticed at this time that Gu Hanwen didn't seem to say anything tonight, and had been sitting silently on the side to eat. She remembered that Gu Hanwen didn't know much about Cantonese, so she probably didn't understand what they were saying, no wonder she was so silent all night, she was a little careless.
Cai Yuanwei was a little reluctant and uneasy in her heart, and after Gu Hanwen left, she unconsciously smiled and silently ate the food in front of her.
Chen Yunli saw Cai Yuanwei's mood changes, and after continuing to joke with Cai Jizong, he excused himself to go to the bathroom and left the table.
came to the smoking area in front of the bathroom, and he really found Gu Hanwen here.
Gu Hanwen was expressionless on a chair in the smoking area, and the smoke from his exhalation flickered around his face.
Chen Yunli stepped forward, stood in front of him, and said lightly, "Is there still smoke?" β
Gu Hanwen was stunned when he heard this, looked up at him, silently took out the box of cigarettes just now, took out one and handed it to him.
Chen Yunli took the cigarette, sat on the chair next to Gu Hanwen, took out a lighter and lit it, and took a puff before saying: "The smoke is good, the taste is very refreshing, but I still like a little more cigars with a stronger flavor." β
Gu Hanwen looked at him for a moment and didn't say anything. After a while, Gu Hanwen suddenly asked, "How do you know that there is a disagreement between me and Xiaowei?" β
Chen Yunli chuckled, and laughed a little lightly: "It's very simple, you can see it by looking at the phone records." The two of you had been on the phone at least once a day on average for the previous months. But in the past two months, the phone contact between the two of you has suddenly decreased a lot, and at the beginning there was not even a month of talking to each other, just think about it and know that there must be something wrong between the two of you. β
Gu Hanwen was a little angry when he heard this: "Are you investigating Xiaowei and me? You...... How can you do that? You're violating someone's privacy! β
Chen Yunli seemed unhurried: "Xiaowei's family goes to the phone company every month to print the call list, which is a security measure in their home to prevent members from being kidnapped. I just have to go to her house and sit down and see it. β
Gu Hanwen didn't expect Chen Yunli to give such an answer, and he couldn't refute it for a while, so he had to take a few puffs of cigarette and spit out more smoke.
Chen Yunli also took a slow puff of cigarette at this time, and slowly spoke: "As for what went wrong between you, it's easy to find the reason. You and Xiaowei ......."
"You don't have to play with your scheming in front of me. You don't understand the relationship between me and Xiaowei at all. Gu Hanwen interrupted Chen Yunli's words at this time: "Just like I like to smoke this refreshing taste of cigarettes, and you like cigars, Xiaowei only likes my simplicity, unlike you, who looks complicated and calculating." Xiaowei has to face all kinds of calculations and schemes outside every day, does she have to intrigue with her own people when she comes back? β
Chen Yunli couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. Gu Hanwen was puzzled and asked him, "What are you laughing at?" β
"I'm laughing at you, it's really simple. Young people, let's have a snack! Chen Yunli patted Gu Hanwen's shoulder with a smile at this time, and continued: "You are still young now, your living environment is very simple, and Vivi has helped you block most things, so you can have such naΓ―ve thoughts." But simple life is not the same as simple living. You must know that no matter how strong and capable a woman is outside, when she goes home, she still hopes to have a shoulder to lean on. What Vivi needs is someone who can be simple in normal times, but can think through the stakes behind it in case of trouble, and can be relied on as her. If you are only old and not long-hearted, sooner or later Xiaowei will be tired. You can be simple, but you can't be stupid. β
"Why are you telling me this?" Gu Hanwen looked at Chen Yunli suspiciously at this time: "Don't you like Xiaowei?" Why are you saying these things to me again? β
Chen Yunli chuckled twice and said, "I don't know either." Maybe I don't know what I'm thinking, and I'm conflicted. I like Xiaowei, but since Xiaowei chose you, I also hope that she can live happily. If Xiaowei hadn't identified you from the beginning, would you think you would be my opponent? β
Gu Hanwen also smiled, and smiled a little surprised: "I didn't expect you, a person who is involved in the underworld, to have such a great idea!" It's unexpected! β
"Vivi told you everything about me! Do you think that people who are involved in the underworld must be ruthless and vicious? There are many times when the gangsters are just a means, not a matter of personality......"
The two were talking and laughing at this time, one moment they were still hostile to each other like enemies, and the next moment they were laughing and chatting with each other like good friends.
Just when the two were chatting energetically, Cai Yuanwei's voice suddenly sounded at the door of the smoking area: "What are you talking about?" β
The two turned around in surprise and saw Cai Yuanwei covering her nose and standing at the door of the smoking area, looking at the two of them with smiling eyes.
When Gu Hanwen saw Cai Yuanwei coming, he hurriedly put out the cigarette in his hand and stood up: "Xiaowei, why are you here?" β
"I see that one of you has been going to the bathroom for so long, and the other said to smoke a cigarette, but I saw that the pack of cigarettes was about to run out and didn't come back, so let's see what you two are doing." Cai Yuanwei was afraid of the smell of smoke inside, refused to come in, and stood at the door and said.
Gu Hanwen came outside at this time to disperse the smell of smoke on his body, and Chen Yunli stood up and greeted the two of them: "I'll go back and have two more drinks with JOE first, and you guys will talk slowly." After saying that, he waved his hand and left.
Gu Hanwen saw him walk away, remembered what Chen Yunli said to him just now, and suddenly had the urge to talk to Cai Yuanwei alone. Seeing that the smell of smoke on his body was almost gone, he stepped forward and took Cai Yuanwei's hand and said, "Xiaowei, why don't we go first and let them drink slowly here." β
"Go first? Where to go? β
"Let's go back to S City! I thought of a nice place where no one bothered, let's go there, I have a lot to say to you, by the way, let's go back to see my mom together. Dad called me two days ago and said that my mom was not feeling well and asked me to go back and see her when I was free. β
"Auntie is not feeling well? Does it matter? Cai Yuanwei was a little nervous when she heard this.
Gu Hanwen comforted her and said, "It shouldn't be a big deal." Dad didn't urge me to go back. β
Cai Yuanwei couldn't help but glance at him: "I've never seen a son like you!" His mother was uncomfortable, but she wasn't nervous at all. Let's go! After speaking, Cai Yuanwei turned around and walked towards the place where she was eating.
Gu Hanwen hurriedly stopped her: "The exit is here!" β
Cai Yuanwei pulled him back and explained: "I didn't bring anything, of course I have to go back and get it, and by the way, tell my brother." β
Cai Jizong looked at Cai Yuanwei with an apologetic look and said that he wanted to go with Gu Hanwen first, and after she finished speaking, he couldn't help but pretend to be helpless and joked to her: "Oh, it's really a big girl!" He also said that he wanted to invite me to dinner, and he was in a hurry to drag it out before the account was settled. β
Cai Yuanwei's face was hot, and she looked at Cai Jizong with some embarrassment: "Brother~!" β
Cai Jizong laughed, and after laughing for a while, he said: "It's so late, why don't you drive my car back and let the driver send you." β
"No, Hanwen has a car. Besides, you are driving from Hong Kong right titanium car, and the driver is not familiar with the road, it is more convenient to use our own car, and Xiao Kai also knows the road. Cai Yuanwei refused. But she didn't expect that this refusal almost cost her her life.
"Well, be careful on your own roads."
"Got it. It's more than an hour's highway back to S City, and it's there soon. β
But the moment Cai Yuanwei stepped into the car, she suddenly felt a panic in her heart, and a regretful thought suddenly appeared in her heart, asking why she didn't use her second brother's car just now, his car was a Porsche, which was much more comfortable and safe than Gu Hanwen's car.
Cai Yuanwei couldn't help but think of the car accident about Gu Hanwen in her previous life, and asked a little nervously, "What time is it today?" What is the date of the month? β
Gu Hanwen looked at her with some puzzlement when he heard this, "Today is the 16th, July 16th." What's the matter, did you forget to do something, so nervous? β
Cai Yuanwei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard that it was not the date of the car accident in her previous life that she was familiar with, and put her heart back in her stomach.
"It's okay, just ask."
However, Cai Yuanwei still chose the second row of window seats to sit down, and buckled her seat belt like a ghost, thinking while buckling it, she must remind herself to pay attention to the time, and don't let Gu Hanwen take any car on the day of the car accident in her previous life.
Gu Hanwen smiled when he saw it: "What are you doing here?" I've never seen you sit in a two-breasted seatbelt when I've been in a car with you before. β
"Hehe, I'm just in case." Cai Yuanwei also felt a little strange at this time, so she wrapped the seat belt under her ribs, only tied her waist, and said to Gu Hanwen while adjusting: "Why don't you buckle it up too?" β
"I don't need it," Gu Hanwen said and rolled up and lay down, pillowed his head on Cai Yuanwei's lap, and said with a smile: "I want to sleep, it's uncomfortable to buckle the seat belt, and you will wake me up when you arrive." β
"And where are you taking me? Where's that place where no one bothered you? β
Gu Hanwen pretended to smile mysteriously: "You'll know when you go." After Gu Hanwen finished speaking, he turned his head to Xiao Kai and said, "Let's go back to S City first!" β
"Great!" Xiao Kai skillfully started the car and began to drive in the direction of S City.
Maybe it was Cai Yuanwei, a butterfly reborn in this world, who finally accumulated enough strength to fan out its first wind, or maybe Cai Yuanwei sprinkled enough stones on the road of the wheel of history, and finally turned the giant wheel of history a little away from the original direction, and the car accident that should have happened next month in her memory came on this night.
In the dark, Cai Yuanwei already had an ominous premonition, so when Gu Hanwen had fallen asleep, she couldn't sleep. And when she found that the car next to her window was moving towards her at great speed, Cai Yuanwei had no time to remind Xiao Kai, so she only subconsciously bent sideways, grabbed Gu Hanwen's head between her chest, abdomen and thighs, and hugged his neck tightly with both hands.
Then Cai Yuanwei heard a sharp sound of brakes, a deafening crash roar, followed by a suffocating and indescribable tumbling as if someone had been put into a high-speed drum washing machine.
During the rolling, Cai Yuanwei miraculously grabbed Gu Hanwen, and even the huge impact force couldn't make her let go.
At the moment when the tumbling stopped, Cai Yuanwei also glanced at the situation outside. Through the shattered and twisted windows, she could see the glare of the headlights outside, the glass and debris flying everywhere in front of her eyes like slow-motion shots, and the dark sky.
Then, as if the dark sky had suddenly collapsed, it fell on her head, and then there was darkness and dead silence......
