When Fen Qiao entered Chongwen, her score was actually not up to the line, and she herself knew this very well, so she could only work harder than others in class.

When she was in the High School Affiliated to Yunnan University, although she was not the top one, she was always at the top of her grade. Those who can enter Chongwen have a few brushes in their studies, and Fen Qiao doesn't want to enter the university and become a crane tail in his grades. Therefore, every class is in order, and I am not late or leave early.

After the last class on Friday, when I walked out of the school, the black car was already waiting quietly at the south gate of Chongwen.

It was the weekend and I was able to go back to the apartment. Fen Qiao's heart jumped and ran to the car in a few steps.

The person who came to pick up Fen Qiao was not Assistant Liang, but the black-clothed bodyguard dynasty who often followed Gu Yan. This group of people always wears uniform suits, is restrained, and looks inconspicuous. Fen Qiao can remember him because he often appears by Gu Yan's side.

Wang Chao bent down to open the car door for her, and Fen Qiao got into the car.

took out his mobile phone and pressed it, only to find that there were two missed calls on his mobile phone, both of which were from Assistant Liang, and Fen Qiao was in class, so he didn't hear it.

Fen Qiao dialed back, but waited for a long time but still no one answered.

What's the matter?

The gramophone in the car happened to be broadcasting 24-hour online news, and the female voice of the host was reporting: "Gu Shupei, former chairman of Gu's Group, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, unfortunately passed away due to illness this morning at the age of 82. At 11 o'clock, Gu's Group officially released the obituary ......"

Did you hear it wrong?

On the other end of the phone, Assistant Liang still didn't answer the phone, and after a long wait, there was a rapid beep.

"Please turn up the news louder." Fen Qiao put down his phone and couldn't believe it.

Is Assistant Liang too busy to answer the phone because of this matter?

She still clearly remembers the scene of meeting the old man in the Gu Mansion. At that time, although the old man was in a wheelchair and could not be called energetic, his speech and thinking were still very organized and clear.

Even a few days ago, she followed Gu Yan to the hospital to see him, even though the old man was still in a coma in bed at that time, Fen Qiao never expected that the old man would pass away in just a few days.

Fen Qiao's heart was tightly raised, and he thought of Gu Yan for the first time.

What about Gu Yan? Is Gu Yan sad at this time?

Fen Qiao returned to the apartment, and as expected, Gu Yan was too busy to come back.

Fen Qiao put his phone on the edge of the pool and practiced swimming on the top floor of his apartment.

One, two, three......

Fen Qiao didn't know what kind of existence his grandfather was for Gu Yan, Gu Yan in the eyes of outsiders was a naturally cold person, and Fen Qiao had never seen Gu Yan lose his temper. But even so, does Gu Yan really have no feelings?

But Fen Qiao knew no, she had seen how busy Gu Yan was running at both ends of the hospital and the company every day, and she had seen Gu Yan nervous because of the old man's affirmation, and the status of his relatives in his heart must not be insignificant.

Fen Qiao once heard the maids talking, saying that after Gu Yan's biological mother died, his father married a stepwife, and was directly deprived of inheritance by Old Man Gu.

Gu Yan is equivalent to being brought up by the old man himself. Although they don't seem to be as close as ordinary people's grandchildren, the bond of blood thicker than water can't be faked.

Fen Qiao buried his head in the pool water, prolonging the interval between breathing, and only the sound of paddling remained on the entire roof.

"Whoa...... "It wasn't until the air in his lungs was overdrawn to ......the limit that Fen Qiao jerked his head up from the water.

Gasping for air.

Yes, she and the old man only spoke a few words, and she didn't have much affection, she couldn't empathize with Gu Yan at this moment, but Fen Qiao knew how painful it was for the living people to leave their relatives. It's like when her father left her.

But does Gu Yan need her company?

Fen Qiao climbed ashore and sat by the pool in a daze with his mobile phone, hesitating whether he should make the call.

On a summer night, the starry sky is also extremely bright, looking out from the top of the building, you can see the bright lights of thousands of homes on the north bank of the Liangma River in Chaoyang District at a glance, and the evening breeze caresses from Fenqiao's ears.

She saw the twin towers, the brightest of the lights. Fen Qiao suddenly made up his mind at that moment, picked up the phone, and before he could press it, the phone lit up by itself.

The caller ID was Gu Yan's number, and Fen Qiao didn't hesitate to connect the phone for a second.

"Gu Yan ......" Fen Qiao wanted to ask where Gu Yan is now? What are you doing? But in the end, he only called Gu Yan, and there were many complicated emotions in his voice.

"Have you had dinner?" Gu Yan's voice came from the other end of the phone, a little distorted, a little deeper than usual, but it was still so good.

"Yes." After answering only one monosyllabic word, Fen Qiao fell silent.

She couldn't hear what Gu Yan's current situation was, and she didn't even know where he was, whether he was in good condition or not......

Hearing Fen Qiao's silence, Gu Yan naturally guessed what she was thinking, and he sighed softly, "Don't worry, I'm fine, Fen Qiao." ”

"Gu Yan," Fen Qiao sniffed and said word by word, "Don't be sad, I will accompany you just like you accompany me." ”

The voice was childish, but serious. Coming through the microphone, there was a faint sound of wind, as if a gust of wind was blowing in Gu Yan's ears, unreal, but very real.

It seemed to be the first time he had heard someone speak to him like this.

There is no estrangement, no sense of distance to say to him: Don't be sad.

The lights were on in preparation for the next day's memorial service, and the servants were busy coming and going in front of his eyes.

From the moment he received the news of the old man's death, he calmly gave orders and did not show anything unusual. Everyone thought he was calm and reasonable, even himself.

After returning from the hospital, for some reason, he stood silently for several hours in front of the attic where the old man lived. The wind was strong by the lake, and the night wind almost blew him cold and stiff, but only at this moment did he feel warm.

"Yes." Gu Yan nodded and promised her. He could even imagine the little girl in front of him, looking at him, speaking these words intently and earnestly.

"Don't lose sleep, have a good dream, Fen Qiao." Gu Yan never knew that his voice could speak so softly, "I asked Liang Tezhu to pick you up tomorrow morning, the memorial service will be very tiring." ”

It was a very tortuous day this Friday, but Fen Qiao didn't lose sleep that night.

She fell asleep almost as soon as she put her pillow on.

……

Early the next morning, Fen Qiao got up early in the morning and changed into a full black dress.

Fen Qiao finished eating breakfast, and Assistant Liang hadn't arrived yet.

Fen Qiao simply went downstairs by himself, and when he left the apartment, he also met an old couple who came back from walking their dog. As soon as Jelly saw her from afar, she wagged her tail and ran over, and the old lady's leash couldn't pull it.

The last time I took Fen Qiao's medicine and went to the hospital, it didn't seem to have a long memory at all.

When the old man saw that she was dressed in black, he knew that Fen Qiao was going to attend Gu Shupei's memorial service. The departure of such a big man has been repeated several times in the news from yesterday afternoon to this morning.

"Please greet Mr. Gu on my behalf and pay your respects."

Fen Qiao saluted and nodded in agreement.

When I walked out of the apartment, I met Liang Tesuke, who had just arrived. His eyes were blue, he didn't look well-rested, and his body didn't look like he was neat and busy all night.

He opened the door for Fen Qiao and apologized: "I'm sorry, Miss Fen Qiao, I'm late." ”

Fen Qiao didn't care about this, waved his hand, and asked directly: "Is Gu Yan okay?" ”

"Mr. Gu only rested for a while at four o'clock in the morning today, and he has just started to receive the guests who came to mourn."

"Am I unable to do anything to help?" Fen Qiao was a little lost.

Liang Tezhu saw that the little ancestor was unhappy from the rearview mirror, and hurriedly comforted: "No, Miss Fenqiao will ...... if you don't let Mr. Gu worry."

Fen Qiao's eyes had already been projected, staring at him closely.

Liang Tezhu realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly changed his words: "I mean, Miss Fenqiao can comfort Mr. Gu and let him not worry so much." ”

Fen Qiao then withdrew his gaze.

……

A memorial service was held at Gu's house.

Overnight, the entire Gu family's old house was hung with vegetarian food.

Flowers were arranged around the coffin, and Gu Yan, dressed in a black suit, nodded and thanked everyone who came to greet him. The atmosphere at the scene was solemn and solemn.

His expression was resolute and cold, and he seemed to be carrying ice and snow around him, standing tall and straight in place, with his back straight.

On the day of her father's funeral, she and Gao Ling were also standing where Gu Yan was standing now.

At that time, Fen Qiao was crying unsteadily, but Gu Yan still had to control his feelings, stand in place, and thank the people who came to mourn.

Fen Qiao looked uncomfortable, walked quickly to Gu Yan's side, and stood silently behind him.

"I'm going to be with you." Fen Qiao repeated it in a low voice in his heart.

……

Fen Qiao didn't expect to meet He Kun's mother, Gu Yin, at the memorial service.

But thinking about it again, it's strange that Gu Yin doesn't come, she is Gu Yan's sibling sister, and the old man is also her grandfather.

Gu Yin is still the same as when they first met, elegant and generous, she wore a black dress, a hollow black hat veil under the wide brim, and plain makeup.

She stood in front of Gu Yan, took off her gloves, and stretched out her hand, "See you again, Jing Heng." ”

Gu Yan didn't stretch out his hand to shake it back, and spit out a sentence expressionlessly: "You're late." The voice was cold.

"You won." Gu Yin didn't respond to Gu Yan's words, but instead said this to the horse's mouth. The expression on her face seemed to be joking, but Fen Qiao didn't see a joke in her eyes.

The look in his eyes was very complicated.

Gu Yan ignored her this time, turned his body to the side directly, and greeted the people who came forward behind him.

Gu Yin was awkwardly left aside as air.

Fen Qiao stood aside, and it was very strange to see the way the sister and brother got along. Aren't Gu Yan and Gu Yin siblings of the same mother? Why is the relationship so bad?

Gu Yin didn't seem to care about Gu Yan's malice, and stood still and didn't move. Seeing Fen Qiao beside Gu Yan, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he said, "Fen Qiao, long time no see." ”

Fen Qiao doesn't like her, but she is He Kun's mother and an elder. Fen Qiao could only nod politely in response.

"Are you still comfortable living in the Gu family? How does Jing Heng treat you? She greeted with concern, as if nothing had happened in the teahouse in Diancheng.

"Adapt, Gu Yan is very good to me." Fen Qiao replied very uncomfortably.

"Really?" Gu Yin looked up at Gu Yan's expression in disbelief. His expression was still cold, and there was some indescribable disgust in the depths of his eyes.

Gu Yan will be very good to people? It was as if she heard a joke.

Gu Yan is her younger brother, and he has the same blood in his bones, cold-blooded. She knew what kind of person Gu Yan was, and she didn't fully believe Fen Qiao's words. only glanced at Fen Qiao meaningfully.
