Chapter 487: Just a Woman
"Dangdang!"
"Sister, can I go in?" After Gu Qiang knocked on the door, he stood outside the door and asked. Although Gu Minglin did not tell Gu Qiang about taking refuge in the Bai family and dedicating Gu Yu to the Bai family, Gu Qiang had already guessed a few points from what he heard downstairs before. This matter is not difficult for him to guess, because after Old Man Gu left, the Gu family has been holding family meetings around this matter to discuss, but nothing has been achieved. After all, there are many forces in the capital, and the relationship between the various families is complicated, so we must think carefully. Just now he heard that his father was going to take his sister to the Bai family, and he immediately understood that his father must have decided to join the Bai family, and when he thought of the content of those family meetings that he overheard, he knew that his sister might become a victim of refuge, so before his sister went to the Bai family, he had to tell his sister about something, after all, his sister had not come back for more than five years, and he didn't know as much about the capital as before. And from childhood to adulthood, my sister was the best for him.
"Is it Xiaoqiang? Come on in! ”
After Gu Qiang heard it, he grabbed the handle and pushed the door and walked in. He thought that his father had already spoken just now, and his sister would be changing clothes, but when he entered the house, he found that his sister was not changing her clothes or putting on makeup, but standing quietly in front of the window, as if she was looking at the scenery outside the window, and as if she was recalling some past events. In short, his face was expressionless, and his face was a little pale, as if he was sick. Fortunately, the family lives in a villa, which is the second floor, and if he lives in a high-rise building, he even suspects that his sister is going to jump off the building.
"What's the matter?" Gu Yu asked lightly, she glanced back at her brother, and then continued to look out the window. Compared with the tone of talking to Gu Minglin in the living room before, Gu Yu's tone of voice to Gu Qiang at this time was much gentler, although it was not cordial, but at least it was not as full of resentment as before.
"Sister. Wait a minute, you're going to go to Bai's house with our dad? After Gu Qiang closed the door, he looked at Gu Yu and asked.
"Yes." Gu Yu responded, perhaps thinking that he would become a lover of a married man from now on, so the expression on Gu Yu's face was very complicated, and he couldn't tell whether he regretted it or was pain. But one thing is certain, that is, her heart is very uncomfortable, like being roasted by fire and doused with ice water.
"Sister, does our dad really plan to let you be the Bai family's Bai Yuze's lover...... Friends, right? Gu Qiang asked. He wanted to say the word lover, but when he thought that the object was his sister, he swallowed the words back.
"You know about this, too? Did Dad sue you, or did the people outside already know about it? Gu Yu asked, in fact, she was most worried. I'm still afraid that Wu Tian will know.
"I overheard." Gu Qiang said, "The night after Grandpa left. I heard my father and second uncle and my eldest aunt and second aunt talking in the study. In fact, this was not an idea that our father came up with, but the eldest aunt first proposed it. ”
Gu Yu frowned when he heard it? Is it a big aunt? She unconsciously thought of the situation of her eldest aunt's family, the eldest aunt worked in the Women's Federation, the eldest uncle was in the Ministry of Agriculture, and their son Zheng Guofeng served as the head of the regiment in the military region, and he was the better one in the third generation of the Gu family. The future is bright. Of course, it was under the condition that the Gu family did not fall. At the beginning, there was an old man who covered him, so he was promoted relatively quickly, and because the position was not big. So no one took it seriously. But now it's different, the old man of the Gu family is gone, he has lost this protective fan, and if he wants to rise in the future, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.
Gu Yu was able to think of the reason why the eldest aunt did this, it was nothing more than to use the power of the Bai family to continue to help her son rise, after all, the Bai family's influence in the army was very large, and this powerful background was enough for her son to gain a foothold in the army.
"It doesn't matter to me who came up with the idea." Gu Yu said, "Even if the eldest aunt came up with an idea, didn't my father agree to it?" If Dad doesn't agree, will Big Aunt do it? Even if she did, would I ignore her? ”
"Sister, you're wrong, I'm not here to explain to my father, I just want to sue you, I'll always be on your side." Gu Qiang said seriously.
Gu Yu glanced back at his younger brother, smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you!" Then continue to look at the scenery. In the tank? Yes, what she needs most now is support. This Gu Qiang's support will not bring her anything, let alone reverse the current situation. Yes, just a little comfort to the soul.
"Sister, in fact, I think that if you don't agree, Dad won't force you." Gu Qiang said again, "As for the matter of taking refuge, I think that even if you don't go, the Bai family will accept our Gu family, after all, our Gu family is also a family with a history in the capital, although it can't be compared with those big families, but the power cannot be ignored." With such a big force handed over to the Bai family, the Bai family is equivalent to an extra fist, they should be happy, where will you beat your sister? ”
"Xiaoqiang, you don't understand." After Gu Yu heard his younger brother's words, he said, "My savings are not bargaining chips, but to deepen the position of the Gu family in the hearts of the Bai family and bring the relationship between the two families closer." Dad decided to take refuge in the Bai family, but he didn't want to be dispensable, he wanted the Gu family to become the Bai family's henchmen, but the current forces of the Gu family alone couldn't do it, and the Bai family would definitely take precautions against our Gu family. In this case, I became a link between the two families, and narrowed the relationship between the two families, although I am not married to the Bai family, but I am also half a daughter-in-law, with this relationship, our Gu family and the Bai family are also relatives. This situation is not uncommon in the capital, and many families that are beginning to decline will contribute their daughters to those big families to bring the relationship between the two families closer. This approach often mitigates the family's decline, and some even take advantage of the opportunity to make a comeback. If Dad wants to rise this time, he must get 100% support from the Bai family, and my savings can be regarded as an insurance. Gu Yu saw things very clearly, although she had not returned to China for many years, she had grown up in such a family since she was a child, and she was nurtured all day long, how could she not understand these truths?
Gu Qiang frowned, and then said angrily, "Auntie, they are really bad, since they just lack a bond. Why don't you let the cousin of the second aunt's family go? Do you have to let your sister go? They all belong to foreign surnames now, and I think they are squeezing out the last resources of our Gu family. Hum! ”
Gu Yu shook his head lightly and said, "You may not know that Bai Yuze pursued me at the beginning, and you were still young at that time and didn't know about it. ”
Gu Qiang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then showed an expression of sudden realization. I didn't even know about such a big thing? Why didn't anyone sue him? However, Gu Qiang thought of one more thing. looked at Gu Yu and asked, "What about Brother that day?" Since Bai Yuze has pursued you, sister, what happened to my brother that day? ”
"Wu Tian......!" Hearing Gu Qiang mention Wu Tian, Gu Yu fell into deep thought, and his mind unconsciously recalled the last moment of the first half of his life. That is, the picture when I got along with Wu Tian last night. That was probably the only thing worth remembering in the first half of her life. As for the rest, most of the memories brought her pain. "Wu Tian and I grew up together. We have a good impression of each other. As for Bai Yuze, it is completely a one-sided scoundrel's entanglement, and I hate him very much. ”
"Oh, I see. However, sister, you go to the Bai family this time. Go to that Bai Yuze, aren't you afraid that Brother Tian will know? If you let him know, do you think about the consequences? When you first married in Canada, he almost went crazy. Even the top boss asked about it. What if you go to be Bai Yuze's lover now, isn't my brother really crazy that day? Gu Qiang came to Gu Yu's side and said, "In my opinion, sister, you should still go to Brother Tian, tell him about the Gu family's refuge in the Bai family, and your affairs, I think he will definitely help you." I think Brother Tian still loves you very much. According to me, after you left, Brother Tian has never had a girlfriend, and as for the later marriage, it was his mother who forced him to get married, I heard that in this matter, Brother Tian was tricked, and now Brother Tian and his wife have been separated, Brother Tian basically stays in his company and does not return to the woman's home. ”
Gu Yu was slightly stunned when she heard it, after she returned to China, she rarely went out, and rarely got together with her former friends, she only knew that Wu Tian was married, and she didn't know who she was married to, and what her life was like after marriage. This was the first time he had heard about Wu Tian's marriage. But it sounds like the other party's marriage is not happy or happy, think about it, who can be happy to marry someone you don't love? She can understand that feeling, because in a few hours, she will have to be with people she doesn't like, or even hate.
Gu Yu shook his head and said, "I have nothing to do with him anymore, I will be me in the future, he is him, you don't want to tell him about me, do you hear?" "Gu Yu returned to China this time, except for seeing her grandfather for the last time, which was to help Tina, before returning to China, she had already thought about it, just coming back to do errands, and other than that, she had nothing to do with Wu Tian. In fact, she had already broken her promise, because after she finished her business, she found Wu Tian again and drank with Wu Tian, but for her, it was the last time, and it could be regarded as a farewell ceremony. In the future, from now on, she vowed to never disturb Wu Tian's life again.
"But ......!"
"Nothing. For me, he's a thing of the past. Gu Yu said coldly, she forced herself not to think about Wu Tian. In her opinion, she was already sorry for Wu Tian once, and she couldn't have anything to do with the other party anymore. What's more, if she goes to Wu Tian again at this time, it is likely to bring trouble to Wu Tian.
Seeing the tangled expression on his sister's face, Gu Qiang knew that his sister's thoughts were not as she said, but he had already said everything he could say, and if his sister didn't listen, there was nothing he could do.
"Sister, I have one more thing to tell you, and that is about that Bai Yuze." Gu Qiang said, "In addition to his current wife, Bai Yuze also maintains a star, which is not a secret in the circle, and every time he returns to Beijing, he will be with that star." His wife also knew about this matter, but because of the power of the Bai family, she could only swallow her anger, not to mention that when she joined the Bai family, she took a fancy to the power of the Bai family. And as far as I know, in addition to this female star, Bai Yuze has other women in the place where he works, the last time he returned to Beijing, I saw him with my own eyes with a woman in her thirties, I heard Bai Yuze call that woman what the director is, it should be the woman he soaked in when he was working in the place. In a word, his style of life is not good, sister, you have to be careful. ”
"I see." Gu Yu said lightly. When she heard these words, she didn't react much. Because she already knew what kind of virtue that Bai Yuze was. The other party was dishonest when he was in college, he made a female teacher's belly bigger, forced the other party to beat the child in the belly, and almost killed someone, and was finally pressed down by the Bai family and lost money. There are a lot of this kind of things in Bai Yuze, and she is used to hearing them. Although so many years have passed, the dog can't change its eating, so he believes that Bai Yuze will not change much.
"That'...... Sister, I'm out. Call me if you have anything in the future. Ask for news or something, I'm still very good. Gu Qiang saw that his sister was not interested in talking to him, so he left. He knew that his sister was doing this for the sake of the entire Gu family, so he felt pity for his sister at the same time. I also admire it very much, not every woman has such an awareness. At least the ones he met. I often cry and fuss at home because of this kind of thing.
Gu Yu just kept standing in front of the window. The moment the door closed, she closed her eyes, tears running through the corners of her eyes. The so-called strength is just in front of others, she is just a woman after all, and she doesn't even have someone to share with. There is not even one to talk to, in the face of this situation, can she not be aggrieved in her heart?
Why did God treat her so unfairly? Actually let her go to a scumbag as a lover? Is this the punishment that Heaven has given her? If it's really punishment, then it's better to let her die. I knew that this return would be like this. It's better to stay in Canada all the time, even if you are there for the rest of your life, although lonely and painful, it will definitely not be like now. At least I still miss my parents and family in Canada, but now, the lies have been exposed, the thoughts are gone, and there is not even a little sustenance in my heart. Really, turned into a puppet.
She stood in front of the window, watching her father leave the house in the car, and then watching him return home in the car, and she knew that the time was almost up, so she reached out to wipe away her tears, only to find that the tears had already dried up. She walked to the dresser and looked at herself in the mirror, with blank eyes and a numb expression, as if she had lost her soul.
Gu Yu simply put on makeup, so that people could not see the traces of crying, which made her look stronger. Then she changed her clothes and walked out of the room.
In the living room, Gu Minglin sat on the sofa, looking at his watch and waiting. After seeing Gu Yu coming down from upstairs, he nodded slightly, looked at his daughter's face, and then said, "It's not too early, let's go." ”
“……!” Gu Yu didn't say anything, and silently followed behind Gu Minglin. At this time, she was no longer numb or dazed, she was just cold, indifferent and indifferent, as if she had lost interest in everything in the world.
After driving for about ten minutes, the car stopped outside the gate of a hidden villa area, and Gu Minglin took out his documents and handed them to the guards before he was allowed to go, which can be seen from this point that this place is more advanced and secret than the place where the Gu family lives.
The car drove very slowly here, as if it were afraid of disturbing the old people walking around and exercising. If you look carefully, you will find that many of them have appeared on TV before, and everyone is accompanied by guards, and even here, they are still vigilant and look around, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
The car stopped in front of a villa, which is in a very good location, with a forest in the back and a lake in front.
Gu Yu followed her father out of the car, this place is no stranger to her, she has been here when she went to the Wu family when she was a child. She unconsciously turned her head to look at the other side of the lake, if she remembered correctly, the Wu family was in that direction.
Gu Minglin walked to the door, stretched out his hand and rang the doorbell, and it didn't take long for a guard to open the door, as if he knew in advance that Gu Minglin would come, without asking anything, and walked directly to the house with Gu Minglin and Gu Yu.
At this time, there were several people sitting in the living room, one of them sitting in the center was Bai Zhenghui, the boss of the Bai family, and a man in his thirties standing behind him, with a medium build, combed his hair, wearing glasses, and a pair of eyes that were slippery, this person was Bai Yuze.
The other people were sitting upright in their chairs, their buttocks on one side of the chair, and one of them was saying something to Bai Zhenghui, looking like he was reporting to work, while the others had been listening attentively.
"Chief, Minister Gu is here." After the guard stood upright, he reported to Bai Zhenghui.
Hearing his words, everyone in the room looked at Gu Minglin.
"Minister Gu, welcome." Bai Zhenghui said enthusiastically, but he didn't stand up, nor did he shake hands with the other party, but pointed to Gu Minglin and said, "I'm listening to the work report of the local comrades, you sit first, and I'll be fine right away." ”
"No hurry, no hurry, work matters." Gu Minglin hurriedly said, then stood on the side, and did not sit down, until the guard put a chair behind him, he slowly sat down, and his face still had a serious and strict expression. And Gu Yu stood quietly behind Gu Minglin, silent and expressionless. (To be continued......)
