Chapter 486: The Second Half of My Life
Wu Tian didn't stay overnight at the hotel, he left after telling Liu Jin all the information about Kangxin. At this time, Wu Tian was not worried that Liu Jin would tell him about drinking and opening a room with Gu Yu, because he also controlled Liu Jin's lifeblood now, and whether Liu Jin could soak in Kangxin or not depended entirely on his mood. If he is in a good mood, not only will he not disturb Liu Jin, but he will also give advice to the other party. But if he is in a bad mood, then he will come to the door to talk to Kang Xin, Wu Tian can guarantee that as long as he talks to Kang Xin, Liu Jin will not have any chance in the future. This was fatal for Liu Jin, at least before he caught up with Kangxin.
After Wu Tian returned to the company, he did not look for Fang Hua or Jingyun, but went back to the lounge next to the office to sleep alone, he wanted to replenish his sleep and prepare for the future research of Project A.
When Gu Yu woke up, it was already six o'clock in the morning. She sat up from the bed and looked around blankly, this was a strange room, it looked like a hotel, how could she be here?
Gu Yu felt a splitting headache, and she rubbed her temples with her hand while thinking back to what happened last night, trying to remember why she was here.
Ji and Wu Tian drank together at the bar last night, and he was happy and happy to be able to have each other with him in the last period of his life, so he drank a few more glasses of vodka uncontrollably, and then ...... And then get drunk yourself? Gu Yu couldn't remember what happened later, and her last memory was that Wu Tian said that she drank too much. And she still wanted to drink it.
Now it seems that I was really drunk last night. Gu Yu thought about it, and then the other party sent her to the hotel for one night.
Gu Yu suddenly lifted the quilt. I looked at my body, the clothes were still the same clothes as last night, they were not taken off, and there was no discomfort on my body, the only thing that was suspicious was that the clothes were full of wrinkles, but then I thought that I slept all night with my clothes on, and it was normal for my clothes to have wrinkles. So lightly relieved.
It's okay, it's fine!
Gu Yu thought so, but after realizing that he would have such thoughts. Suddenly stunned. At this moment, should I be happy or sad? Gu Yu fell into deep thought. Last night was the first half of her life. And from today onwards, it will be the second half of her life. Maybe in a few hours, her life will no longer be in her own hands, but will change from a human being with feelings to a puppet.
The reason why she left home last night was because she was in a bad mood, and she called Wu Tian in the hope that someone could accompany her. But why only call Wu Tian? It's because only Wu Tian can give her spiritual comfort. The only person she feels sorry for in her life is Wu Tian, and she can get Wu Tian's understanding. For her, it was the most important thing in the first half of her life. Later drank spirits. It's completely a kind of emotional venting, because when you get drunk, you can remember nothing. She knew very well that a verbal apology could not make up for the psychological trauma brought to Wu Tian, so she hoped to use the only thing she had now - her body to compensate Wu Tian before she was about to become someone else's puppet. Of course, this kind of words cannot be spoken, so they can only be expressed in a drunken way. When a woman gets drunk in front of a man, it is a sign of trust in this man, and the meaning of this signal is also very clear: you can do anything to me!
But now, Wu Tian has done nothing, which makes her plan to compensate Wu Tian completely fail. At the same time, it also made her think of one thing, did she no longer have any attraction in the eyes of the other party? It seems that he really hurt the other party very deeply.
"Wu Tian?" Gu Yu got out of bed while calling Wu Tian's name, and then looked for Wu Tian in the house. She remembered that Wu Tian also drank a lot of wine last night, so she shouldn't leave after sending her to the hotel, right?
It is a suite with a bedroom inside and a living room outside. When Gu Yu came out of the bedroom, she didn't see Wu Tian in the living room, she originally thought that Wu Tian would deal with it on the sofa for a night. There was a disappointed expression on her face, but she didn't seem to give up, reached out and knocked on the bathroom and asked, "Wu Tian, are you in there?" She listened carefully to the movement inside, but the result still brought her a deep sense of disappointment. When she grabbed the handle and opened the door, there was nothing inside.
Alas!
Gu Yu didn't stay in the room too much, just simply freshened up and left the room, but when she stepped out of the elevator, she unexpectedly saw a familiar figure. Still, it wasn't the one she'd been expecting. Before she could speak, the other party took the initiative to greet her.
"Sister Yu, you're awake." Liu Jin walked up to Gu Yu with a smile and asked. He used to be very resentful of this woman, after all, the other party played his good brother and almost made his brother a madman. But now, since he saw Wu Tian helping Gu Yu to open a room in the hotel last night, his impression of Gu Yu has changed immediately, who knows if this woman will become his sister-in-law in the future? They drank together last night and opened a room together, which should have been reconciled. Think about it, after all, they grew up together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and there is still a certain emotional foundation, even if they have been separated for so many years, even if one of them betrays, it is only a matter of minutes to reconcile. In this regard, he has experience.
Gu Yu was slightly stunned when she heard this, listening to the other party's words, as if she had known that she was resting in this hotel.
"Yes." Gu Yu nodded, then looked at Liu Jin and asked, "You know I'm here?" ”
"Hehe, how did I know that Sister Yu lives here? Last night, I saw Brother Tian help you to the room. Liu Jin said with a smile. In fact, it was not Wu Tian who helped Gu Yu to the room last night, but two hotel waiters, but in order to make Brother Tian and Sister Yu better, he panicked.
Gu Yu was stunned, was it really Wu Tian who sent her to the hotel to help her to the room last night? Her heart couldn't help but warm and asked, "What about others?" ”
"Just left." Liu Jin said to Gu Yu, "Brother Tian waited for you in the hall all night. I wanted to treat you to breakfast, but he suddenly received a phone call, as if something had happened to the company. So I hurried back. But Brother Tian, before leaving, let me treat you well. ”
"Thanks, no need." Gu Yu said lightly.
"Sister Yu, don't be polite to me, who are we with? Besides, this is my hotel, inside my hotel. If I hadn't called Sister Yu to me, wouldn't my brother have killed me that day? Liu Jin said with a smile, "Sister Yu." You didn't eat breakfast, did you? Let's go, I'll invite you to the restaurant for breakfast for Brother Tian. Do you like the old Beijing style, or the Hong Kong style, or the Western style? What do you eat in Canada? I'll have the chef prepare it for you. ”
"Is this your hotel?" Gu Yu asked after hearing Liu Jin's words. She wondered why Wu Tian would bring her to Liu Jin's hotel. It stands to reason that Wu Tian shouldn't want others to know about the situation of the two now. Take her to Liu Jin's hotel. Isn't that the same as throwing yourself into the net?
Could it be that he has already accepted me? Gu Yu thought in his heart.
"Yes, although it has only been a few days since I arrived, this hotel is really mine." Liu Jin said, "Of course, Brother Tian also has shares here, so Sister Yu, you can enjoy it here as you like." It's like going to your own home, you're welcome. ”
"No need. Thank you. Gu Yu said. Regardless of whether Wu Tian accepts her or not, it is already too late, because today she will follow her father to the Bai family. What's more, as long as Wu Tian doesn't help their Gu family, the two of them will have no chance. Otherwise, how could she regard last night as the dividing line between the first half of her life and the second half of her body? That's the point. Even if something happens, a qiē can't change it. Gu Yu took a deep breath, and let the sentimental feelings in her heart disappear, she was a puppet in the second half of her life, and as a puppet, she should not have any love. "I still have something to do, so I'll go first. Say thank you to Wu Tian for me, thank you for being with me last night. Sue him, I had a great time last night. After speaking, Gu Yu turned around and walked outside the hotel.
"Sister Yu, Sister Yu?"
Liu Jin shouted twice, but Gu Yu did not stop, she had already done her best not to contact Wu Tian and anyone or anything related to Wu Tian. Every contact made her think of a lot of things from the past, which was undoubtedly very painful for her. What's more, from now on, she and Wu Tian will be rivals, because the Bai family and the Wu family are opposites.
"Hehe, I'm sorry." Liu Jin smiled, he regarded Gu Yu's non-response and hurried departure as shy. But after Gu Yu disappeared, he immediately thought of his task, so he hurriedly returned to the sofa in the hall and sat down, pretending to look at the newspaper while looking at the direction of the elevator, he was waiting for Kang Xin to appear, waiting for Kang Xin to come to him.
When Gu Yu returned home, her father and mother had already gotten up, or maybe it was because Old Man Gu had just left for a few days, Gu Minglin's feelings were a little low, his face was much darker than before, and his expression was full of exhaustion. The current situation of the Gu family made him unable to relax at all, as soon as the old man Gu walked like this, all the burdens of the Gu family were pressed on him, sometimes he even felt breathless, and he often woke up from nightmares in the middle of the night, and then he couldn't sleep again.
"Son, you're back, come and have breakfast." Gu Yu's mother said after seeing Gu Yu.
Gu Yu shook his head and said, "I've eaten outside." "It's not that she doesn't eat, it's that she doesn't have an appetite at all. As soon as she thought that she was going to go to Bai's house after a while, she felt sick and wanted to vomit.
"Where did you go last night? Your mom was worried all night. Gu Minglin looked at Gu Yu and asked.
"Dad, don't you know where I'm going?" Gu Yu asked rhetorically. Obviously, she is still very dissatisfied with the fact that her father sent someone to spy on her in Canada for five years. Although Gu Minglin was also kind at the beginning, in order to protect her safety, but in the five years after Vic's death, his father did nothing, which made Gu Yu feel like a fool. In order not to worry his parents and not to let the Gu family be told nonsense, he has lived in Canada alone for so many years, but what is the result? The family already knew. Hasn't her suffering for so many years been in vain? Five years, that is a woman's best five years of youth, and it turned out to be wasted.
Gu Minglin was choked by his daughter's words, and suddenly didn't know how to take it. He was well aware of his daughter's resentment towards him, not only because he had sent someone to Canada to meet each other, but also because of the conversation last night. betrayed her to the Bai family. In fact, his heart is not good, who wants to give his children to others like objects? But the Gu family's current situation is critical, beyond that. There's really no other way, but if things turn the slightest, he won't do it. A man who can't be a good father in the eyes of his daughter is also a failure. But for the sake of the entire Gu family, he can only make this decision with difficulty, for everyone. Abandon your daughter.
In fact, he really didn't know where his daughter went last night, and since her daughter returned to China, he no longer sent people to follow her. Canada is too far away. He was alone again, so he was not at ease with his daughter. But this is the capital, and he has nothing to worry about his daughter.
Just then, the door was pushed open. I saw Gu Qiang walking in from outside. He has a company. There is also a house outside, so it is rare to live at home. For people like Gu Qiang, who have been strictly controlled by their parents since childhood, it is their greatest wish to grow up and move out of the house.
"Dad, Mom, Sister, I'm back." Gu Qiang greeted everyone when she saw that there was still food on the kitchen table. Immediately walked over and said with a smile. "Haha, it just so happened that I didn't eat, and I starved to death." After that, sit down at the table and eat. It's just that he just took a few bites and felt that something was wrong, because no one except his mother spoke to him, especially his father and sister, standing in the living room, with indifferent expressions, as if they had just quarreled and were not a family. He slowed down his meal and quietly asked his mother, "Mom, what's wrong with my father and sister?" ”
"It's nothing, eat your meal."
Gu Yu's mother didn't know about her husband dedicating his daughter to the Bai family, but she knew that her husband sent someone to Canada to monitor her daughter, so after hearing her daughter's words, she also understood what her daughter meant, although the starting point of this matter was good, but she did bad things with good intentions, so she didn't blame her daughter.
After a while, Gu Minglin sat down on the sofa, and while reading the newspaper, he said to Gu Yu, "You go back to your room to prepare, I will go to the army for a meeting later, and after that, we will visit the Bai family at nine o'clock." ”
Gu Yu didn't say anything after hearing this, and walked straight upstairs. She really didn't have much to say to her father.
Gu Qiang, who was eating in the restaurant, was stunned after hearing his father's words, and then seemed to understand something, and asked Gu Minglin, "Dad, have you decided to join the Bai family?" ”
Gu Minglin frowned when he heard this, take refuge? It sounds like a lost dog, and it's hard to hear. However, it is also true. However, Gu Minglin's heart was very uncomfortable, and he glared at Gu Qiang, who was eating, and said, "You are already so old, you know how to play everywhere all day long, and you don't do anything serious, and when I die, it's up to you to do it." "He is just this one son, and of course he is also expected to have the wish of Jackie Chan. But the reality is often very cruel, his son has mediocre ability, and he only started a company after graduating from college, and used the resources of the Gu family to do some business and make a lot of money. Although there is a lot of money, in Gu Minglin's eyes, officialdom is the most important. Even if your business is big, what can you do? In the end, don't you want to be controlled by the officials? But it's no wonder that outsiders, the monster can only blame himself, it's because he didn't educate his son well, if he was strict with his son when he was a child and didn't spoil each other so much, maybe there would be no successor in the Gu family today.
"Dad, look at what you said, as if I really had nothing to do all day." After hearing this, Gu Qiang said unconvinced, "I'm busy in the company all day now, and I'm so busy that I don't even have time to eat, how else can I make money for you to provide for the elderly?" Do you think I'm easy? ”
"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're doing." Gu Minglin said without curiosity, "Your grandfather is gone, our Gu family must be low-key now, stop me what you shouldn't do, now there are many people secretly staring at our Gu family, you give me some care." ”
"Dad, don't worry, what I'm doing is serious business, at most let those officials give me a few more plots of land and a few more projects, this kind of thing, everyone is doing it, even if I know, who can do anything to me?" Gu Qiang said with a smile.
"You just don't know how thick the sky is. Sue you, it doesn't matter what you do when others aren't staring at you. But if someone is staring at you and you pick up a penny, people will say that you stole it. Now that the Gu family has enough troubles, don't go out and make trouble for me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind to you. Gu Minglin warned.
"Got it, got it." Although Gu Qiang said this, he had an impatient look on his face, which was also the reason why he was reluctant to live at home, who could stand being educated if he had nothing to do? In order to prevent his father from continuing to nag, Gu Qiang simply stopped eating, got up and walked upstairs, and said as he walked, "I'll go to my sister." ”
"Your sister has something, don't bother her now."
"I'll just ask her something, and I'll come out when I'm done." After speaking, Gu Qiang ran upstairs.
Gu Minglin frowned when he saw it, but he quickly stretched out again. It's okay to do this, the sister and brother chatting, maybe they can help Gu Yu alleviate the dissatisfaction in his heart. (To be continued......)
