Chapter 477: It's cold in the heights
It doesn't take half an hour to get from the Tensho Building to the 'old place'. If you drive normally, it only takes fifteen minutes to get there, and the remaining fifteen minutes are the time that Wu Tian left for himself to brew.
He was not ready to meet Gu Yu, if Gu Yu hadn't taken the initiative to call him today, maybe he would not have had any contact with Gu Yu for a long time in the future. This time, maybe even forever. If before going to Canada, Wu Tian's feelings for Gu Yu were hateful, then now his feelings for Gu Yu are hateful and pitiful. This feeling is very complicated, for fear that in the face of the other party's affairs, I can't help but reveal something.
Many women like to pretend to be pitiful in order to win people's favor and sympathy, and when facing this kind of woman, Wu Tian has a strong resistance, and even often disdainfully disdains those women. But Gu Yu's situation is different from those pretentious women, she doesn't deliberately pretend to do it, but she has to deliberately hide it, not wanting to be known. This kind of pity is the most lethal.
What kind of attitude should you have towards her when we meet again? Can you still be as full of hatred as before? How can she not see the complex thoughts in his heart? These are very headache questions.
After putting down the phone, Wu Tian sat in the office for ten minutes, but did not get any clear answers except for his increasingly muddy head. He only felt his head swelling and buzzing inside, as if there were hundreds of flies flying around in his head, except for the chaos. It's still chaotic, so he can't calm down at all. Seeing that the better time was getting closer and closer, Wu Tian could only give up thinking. Leave the office, drive downstairs and head to the 'old place'.
Since time is very precious, on the way there, Wu Tian still seized the time to think. But it turns out to be a very dangerous thing to think about other issues while driving. Two red lights were run, causing traffic jams at three intersections. Another time, he drove onto the road protection brick, and if he hadn't reacted quickly, I'm afraid he would have driven directly into the bathhouse on the side of the road. As an old driver. It is not easy to drive the level of a road killer. The short journey of ten minutes looks more difficult than going to the west to learn from the scriptures. Tang Seng was someone else who created danger for him, while Wu Tian created danger for himself himself. Wu Tian was able to drive the car safely. It's already his fate. And no one can guarantee that nothing will happen when you go back.
The car stopped outside the 'old place', Gu Yu had already arrived, and her car was parked outside. Compared with Wu Tian's complicated state of mind, I don't know what Gu Yu was thinking at this time. Got something to talk about? What is it?
Wu Tian closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then spit it out, hoping to calm himself down in this way. I did this several times. There was still a lot of confusion in his mind, and Wu Tian lowered his head fiercely. The head door hit the steering wheel. With a "bang", Wu Tian's brain turned red.
Well, it's much better now. It hurts, but at least the thinking has become clearer, and it is not as chaotic as before.
Wu got out of the car and walked into the old place, Gu Yu was still sitting in the position where the two of them had sat a few times before, looking at Gu Yu's back, Wu Tian began to get entangled again, but he also knew that he had already come here, it was impossible to escape, and it was impossible to solve the problem of avoiding it, even if he escaped now, Gu Yu still had to find him. The capital is so big, Gu Yu knows him well, and it is not difficult to find him. Wu Tianyi gritted his teeth, walked over with a hard head, and sat down directly opposite Gu Yu.
"Say, what's the matter, you have to meet to talk?" Wu Tian asked Gu Yu directly, then called the waiter and ordered a cup of black coffee, and only the bitter taste of black coffee could keep him awake.
Gu Yu looked at Wu Tian, she just wanted to speak, but she was stunned for a moment, stared at Wu Tian's head, and asked suspiciously, "Why is your head red?" ”
Wu Tian touched it with his hand, and then said indifferently: "It's okay, I encountered a road killer on the road who ran a red light and hit the steering wheel when he braked suddenly." ”
"There are no injuries anywhere else, right?" Gu Yu asked Wu Tian with concern.
"Thank you for your concern, I'm not dead, my head is fine, and I don't have amnesia." Wu Tian said, "Say, what is the matter with calling me out?" I've been busy lately and don't have time to waste time on things that don't matter. So please say anything directly, and the company will have a meeting in a while. Wu Tian tried his best to show himself indifference and meanness in front of Gu Yu. Especially in the face of Gu Yu's concern, he was worried that he would fall into it again and not be able to jump out. In a word: cherish life and stay away from Gu Yu!
"Do you hate to see me?" Gu Yu asked lightly, with a bit of grief in her eyes, obviously, Wu Tian's attitude made her feel very sad.
"What do you say?" Wu Tian said angrily, "It's fake to say that I don't hate to see you, but it's you, if you change to someone else...... Hum! Do you know? Two people I trusted so much betrayed me the other day, one disappeared forever and the other was locked up in a room forever. You should know by now how kind I am to you? ”
"It's me who I'm sorry for you......!" Gu Yu said apologetically.
"No, don't say that." Wu Tian turned his head, stretched out his hand, blocked Gu Yu, and said, "You know I'm sorry I still have to do that?" Deliberately? That will only make me hate you even more. Well, there's nothing old to talk about between us. If you called me out today just to say sorry to me, can I leave now? ”
Gu Yu looked at Wu Tian with a complicated expression, his teeth bit his lip fiercely, and after a while, the teeth were retracted, leaving a few imprints on his lips. Then, she said to Wu Tian, "I asked you out today for another thing. She paused, then continued, "Tina has already told you about me, right?" ”
"Things? What's up? She said a lot to me. You know Tina better than I do, the woman's mouth is broken. Wu Tian said. The others understood what Gu Yu said at the first time, and it seemed that Tina also told Gu Yu about her leakage. Could it be that Gu Yu called him here for this matter? But does it have anything to do with him? Could it be that he wanted to use this in exchange for his sympathy? If that's the case, then what's the difference between that and those pretentious women who like to pretend to be pathetic? Hateful and pitiful Libra. It's starting to lean toward hatefulness again.
"It's Vic who died." Gu Yu looked at Wu Tian and said, when she mentioned the name Vic, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, but it was only a flash, and she didn't stay for too long. It seems that five years have allowed her to face a qiē calmly. Or rather, five years. has completely faded the original feelings. After all, she didn't know that man for five years.
"Vic? Who is Vic? All I know is the Great Demon King! Wu Tian said. Could it be that the Canadian guy's name is Vic? Depend on!
Although so many years have passed. But it was the first time Wu Tian had heard the name of the Canadian Yankee. Of course, there were people in the circle who knew about it, but in order not to irritate him, they didn't dare to talk about it in front of him at all, and Wu Tian himself didn't want to hear anything about Gu Yu. So until now. Wu Tian didn't even know the name of his rival.
"It's my fiancé." Gu Yu gritted his teeth and said.
"Oh, so your fiancé's name is Vic? You say that, and I get it. When Wu Tian heard this, he said, "Tina told me about this, and I do know it. What's wrong? Do you want me to help you collect Dragon Balls and then summon the dragon to bring him back to life? ”
Gu Yu pursed his lips, and then said to Wu Tian, "I hope you don't tell anyone else about this." ”
Wu Tian was slightly stunned, at first he thought that the other party was going to pretend to be pitiful in front of him. But now after hearing the other party's words, it doesn't seem to be what he thought. Could it be that this woman is playing with lust?
"What do you mean?" Wu Tian asked with a frown.
"Don't tell my family about this. And don't sue your brothers and friends. Gu Yu said.
"This is your Gu family's business, what does it have to do with me? Besides, I don't care about it either. Wu Tian said after hearing it.
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved." Gu Yu said lightly.
Hearing Gu Yu's words, Wu Tian understood, it seemed that Gu Yu really didn't plan to tell her family about this, and she wanted to continue to hide it. It's just that it's been hidden for five years, how long can it be hidden? If she is in Canada for the rest of her life, it will be forgotten, but now that she has returned to China, in such a big event that the old man of the Gu family is gone, the grandson-in-law will not come back to take a look, and it seems that it is impossible to say who he will put in. After all, Old Man Gu is the head of the Gu family's family and the most important person in the Gu family. If it's a relative like a third aunt or a fourth aunt, it's okay if you don't come. But when Old Man Gu is gone, how can he not come back and take a look? Deceive? I'm afraid it's self-deception. At this time, can you still hide it?
'Damn, what do I think I'm doing with this?' It's really salty and don't worry about eating radishes. Wu Tian thought in his heart. Hide it or not, that's the other party's business, what does it have to do with him? If he hides it, he won't do any good. can't hide it, and it's none of his business. Cut!
Only, does she really intend to take on this qiē alone?
Seeing that Gu Yu was silent, Wu Tian picked up the cup, took a sip of coffee, and then asked, "If there is nothing else, can I go?" ”
"There's one more thing I'd like to ask you to help ......!" Gu Yu opened her mouth to speak, but she kept her head down and didn't look at Wu Tian. I don't know if it was the topic just now that reminded her of something, and she fell into sad and painful memories, or what she was going to say next, which made her ashamed to open her mouth and dare not face Wu Tian.
"You've got a lot to do." Wu Tian said, "But I really want to know if there is anything that you Gu Yu can't do." Such a big boldness, don't give your Gu family face? What Wu Tian said had a hint of ridicule. The Gu family is indeed very good in the capital, no one does not sell the face of the Gu family, but that was when the old man of the Gu family was there, and now that the old man Gu is gone, people are going to tea and cool, and the Gu family has no one who can take over, it is destined to decline, and how many people will continue to give the Gu family face?
Gu Yu began to bite her lip again, this was a kind of expression of inner struggle, and it was obvious that this matter made her very embarrassed. But it's not difficult, it's not that I'm ashamed to ask Wu Tian for help. But for some purpose, she had to say. That's why she became what she is now, with a complicated heart and a tangled expression.
Wu Tian wondered what Gu Yu was going to say next. Because the Gu Yu he once knew was not what he is now. She is a resolute woman, who never drags her feet in doing things, and never puts such an obvious expression of the complex side of her heart on her face. When did she become so sad, and when did she become so easy to be seen through? Odd!
I heard that Westerners are good at using expressions to express themselves, could it be that Gu Yu has been in Canada for too long and has been infected with such a disease?
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't spit out. Wu Tian said impatiently, he hated it most when others showed a constipated look in front of him.
"Grandpa is gone, the current situation of my family. I'm sure you know that too, right? Gu Yu finally mustered up the courage to speak to Wu Tian, but she still didn't look up.
"I don't know." Wu Tian shook his head when he heard this, and said, "I can't finish my own affairs. Where is the time to take care of your Gu family's affairs? Again. I'm not the kind of person who likes to inquire about other people's privacy. The reason why Wu Tian said this was because he had already vaguely felt that Gu Yu was going to let him help something. It's nothing more than helping her dad and making her dad go further. Before going to Canada, Gu Yu had told him about it, and he had clearly expressed his attitude, but now, the other party actually brought up the old thing again, Gu Yu is not such an inkblot person. It should be the pressure that the Gu family gave her. It seems that the Gu family is really at a critical moment now. Knowing what was going on between Gu Yu and Wu Tian, he forced Gu Yu to come to him, it seemed that the Gu family was crazy.
"Now the competition for the position of the member of the Military Commission is extremely fierce, among several candidates, my father originally had the greatest chance of promotion, but now that my grandfather is gone, our Gu family has lost its support, and those who originally supported our Gu family are now either wavering or silent. It is not easy for Dad to get this opportunity, if he can't be promoted this time, then he will never have a chance in the future, and our Wu family will also decline......! ”
"Flowers bloom and fall, this is a natural principle, it is normal. Not to mention a family, even if it is a royal family, in the end, it cannot escape the law of gradual decay. Your Gu family is like this, and our Wu family is the same in the end, it's just that the flowering period is long and short, your Gu family has lost its root system now, and it is impossible to open it again, this is something that the Lord can't change. Wu Tian said lightly, "After being in the capital for so long, how many flowers decay every year?" Haven't you Gu family understood this truth? ”
"But my father said that as long as he has the support of your Wu family, he will definitely be able to be promoted successfully." Gu Yu said.
"Hehe, that's just self-defeating. It's like a person who falls off a cliff, even if he sees a handful of grass, he wants to reach out and grab it, hoping for a miracle to happen, because no one wants to fall off a cliff. But what's the use of that handful of grass? Can it stand up to people to be caught? ”
"Your Wu family is not a grass, it is a big tree." Gu Yu said after interrupting Wu Tian's words.
"Hehe, even if our Wu family is a big tree, your Gu family fell from such a high place, do you think the big tree can withstand it? When the time came, he couldn't catch it, but he broke the branches of the big tree, and the gains outweighed the losses. Wu Tian said, "What's more, didn't I tell you? It's useless to look for me about this, I don't want to participate in politics in my account. If your dad is really capable, go to my dad and tell you to come to me, what is this? Do you want me to help your Gu family for the sake of the old love? Or does your father think that I, Wu Tian, still like you Gu Yu? Joke! Can you believe it? Now more than anyone else, I want to see your Gu family finished, just like it was five years ago. Want to hit my mind? I'm sorry, your Gu family has found the wrong person. I haven't fallen into the trap of your Gu family now, it's completely for the sake of Old Man Gu's kindness to me, and your Gu family should burn high incense. So, don't tell me about it in the future, if you mention it again, I'll be annoyed, and when the time comes, I'm afraid I won't just watch your Gu family's good show from the sidelines. Perhaps, I'll intervene too. Wu Tian said very politely, and did not leave any affection for the other party and the Gu family. In fact, the relationship between the Wu family and the Gu family is completely maintained by the old man Gu, and the current two generations of the Gu family are too mediocre, not only with average ability, but also with problems in life. Take Gu Yu's father, for example, he is not bent on leaning towards the Wu family, and has always been a character who falls on both sides of the wall. This kind of person usually eats well, but at the critical moment, he will be someone else's outcast, and no one likes to use this kind of person.
Don't look at Wu Tian not mixing in officialdom, but after all, he is a person in the circle, and he often hears everyone say this and that, and his understanding of some people or some families is not a little bit or two. When the old man Gu was alive, he couldn't help his children in the position, so you can imagine what the roles of the two generations of the Gu family are.
Therefore, Wu Tian will not stand up for the Gu family, let alone stand up for the Gu family because of Gu Yu. What's more, the upper echelons have reached a consensus that when Old Man Gu leaves, Gu Yu's father is no longer qualified for promotion. If you can't even control your own family, how can you control the army?
"Gu Yu, go back and tell your father, his current position is already very high, and your Gu family is also living a life that many people envy, and that's enough. The higher you climb, the more painful it is when you fall, and it's cold at the heights! (To be continued......)
