Chapter 452: A Familiar Stranger?
Gu Yu, when Wu Tian thought of this name, the whole person seemed to have been struck by lightning. I remember the last time he remembered the name, it was four years ago, that is, he hadn't remembered it for four whole years. It's not that he forgot the name, on the contrary, he could never forget it, so he hid it in the deepest part of his heart and kept it there without revealing it.
It was a heartbreaking memory, and no one wanted to recall those painful things, even the strongest of them. Wu Tian is also a human being, and he is a man with rich feelings, so he doesn't want to constantly torture himself by recalling these things. He's going to go crazy, but it's definitely not his character to be a grudgeful man.
Wu Tian tried not to let his body tremble when driving, but sometimes, the body did not obey the command of the brain, which also led him to drive the Beetle fast for a while and slow for a while, swaying on the road, several times almost hit the car in front of him, or scraped with the car next to him, but fortunately, he stepped on the brakes in time at the last moment and pulled the steering wheel as heavy as a boulder, otherwise a thrilling real version of the bumper car would be staged on the road.
The calm he put on in front of Zhou Haoran and others before was completely faked, as he said, he has grown up, so he has also learned to pretend and learn to be hypocritical, this is the world of adults. His inner world has undergone a drastic change, but he doesn't show half a point on his face, he says when he should speak, laughs when he should laugh, and he can't be free and easy.
Today, those people are his good brothers, but Wu Tian still doesn't want to expose his most vulnerable side in front of them. It's not that it's a matter of face, it's not that he's afraid of being laughed at, it's that he doesn't want his brothers to worry about him. He knew very well that in order to avoid something from happening to him. The brothers have been trying to avoid mentioning Gu Yu's name again over the years, and the word Gu Yu has always been a taboo for him, Wu Tian never thought that he would hear this name again, let alone that Gu Yu would come back. He felt that before he went today, Zhou Haoran and the others had been studying there for a long time, whether to tell him the news of Gu Yu's return.
In fact, even Wu Tian himself didn't know whether Gu Yu's return was bad news or good news for him, but one thing was for sure, the scars that were uncovered were really painful, just like he was now.
Wu Tian has always been an optimist. There are very few unhappy memories in the head, but among the only ones, Gu Yu accounts for a considerable part, should he love her or hate her?
Driving back to the company, Wu Tian couldn't wait to return to his office, calm down, and take a cold shower to calm himself down, like a man. Don't be so spineless, for the sake of a woman to die or live, from ancient times to the present, there are still fewer things that have been red-faced and troubled? Daji, Cixi, this is bad in itself. There are also Bao Xi and Yang Yuhuan. This is not bad in itself, but it hurts too much and has an accident, which is typical. Wu Tian didn't want Gu Yu's appearance to mess up his heart. Affects Project A. He has already planted a heel with Gu Yu emotionally, but he can't plant a heel with Gu Yu in his ideals. For him, one pain is enough. Of course. If he can convince himself with these reasons.
Before he entered the office, he couldn't wait to undress, when the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He wasn't in the mood to answer the phone at all, but when he saw the phone number, his hurried footsteps immediately stopped and he connected the phone.
"Dad, what's the matter?" Wu Tian tried his best to make his voice appear calm, not like in his heart. He was also very curious about why his father called him. Normally, he and his father rarely talk on the phone, and even if there is anything, it is the phone call of Guò mother to ask him to go home, and then face to face in the study to have a conversation between father and son and man.
"Your Grandpa Gu is gone, come and have a look, in the general hospital." Wu Guanzhi said in a deep voice.
What the? Wu Tian was stunned when he heard it, he had heard Zhou Haoran say when he was in the attic of the teahouse before, Gu Yu came back this time because Old Man Gu was not in good health, and he came back probably to see the last side, but he didn't expect Old Man Gu to ...... so quickly!
"Dad, I'll go over now." Wu Tian said.
"Yes."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Wu Tian stood in place for a while, turned around and walked towards the elevator, and put on the coat that he had taken off again.
The Gu family is the Wu family is a world friend, the older generation has carried guns together, Wu Tian's grandfather also saved the old man Gu on the battlefield back then, and the Wu family can also be regarded as the savior of the Gu family, so the two families have always been very close, and the relationship is very good.
When Wu Tian was young, the two families lived in a compound, and Old Man Gu often came to Wu's house to find Old Man Wu, especially after both of them retired, they often played chess together, and Wu Tian was the person who always liked to play with chess pieces on the side at that time. Kids, it's all like that.
Old Man Gu likes Wu Tian very much, and he also intends to marry his granddaughter to Wu Tian, so that the Wu Gu family can be close to each other. As for Gu Yu's sudden announcement that he would marry abroad, Old Man Gu was also shocked, after all, there was no warning before, which made the old man angry, but in the end he forgave Gu Yu, after all, it was his granddaughter. Just like the words that others advised him when he was angry, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't worry about being an old man.
The last time Wu Tian saw Old Man Gu was during the New Year in February today, he went to Gu's house to pay New Year's greetings to Old Man Gu, although Gu Yu didn't mention it, but the Gu family couldn't help but go, this was a matter of etiquette. At that time, Old Man Gu's health was not bad, he could eat and drink, but he needed help when he walked, and his spirit was quite good, although it was not as good as before. Wu Tian originally thought that it would not be a problem for Old Man Gu to live for another two or three years, after all, he was also a medical student, and he was also an expert, but who would have thought that before the year was over, people would be ......!
The world is impermanent!
Wu Tian drove to the General Hospital, and when he was downstairs, he saw a lot of bigwigs' cars, and knew that these people were here to see Old Man Gu. When he came to the floor where Old Man Gu's ward was located, it was already full of people, and there were special guards in charge of order.
Among the people who came, many of them were acquaintances, and he didn't say anything to these people at this time. Just nodded and said hello simply, after all, everyone is not here today for a party, but to see Old Man Gu.
"Brother Tian!"
Just as Wu Tian was walking inside, he heard someone calling him, and Wu Tian followed the prestige and found Hao Jun and Liu Jin who were coming to him.
"You're here too." Wu Tian said
"Brother Tian, wait a minute and then go in." Liu Jin gently grabbed Wu Tian's arm and said.
"Huh?" Wu Tian looked at Liu Jin strangely, not understanding what the other party meant.
"There are too many people in there, and there are a few big guys here." Liu Jin whispered.
Wu Tian nodded, after all, the size of the room was limited. If you can't come and go in, not to mention that there is a big guy, you can't rush to see it with the big guy, and order still has to be maintained.
It didn't take long to see several bigwigs coming out of it, including Wu Tian's uncle and Wu Tian's father. Wu Guanzhi also saw Wu Tian, and nodded at Wu Tian when he passed by.
"Coming? Let's go inside and have a look. “
"Yes!"
After a simple conversation, the father and son separated. Wu Guanzhi still has a job. Can't stay here for too long. In fact, everyone who comes here is like this, the whole country needs them to manage, and the itinerary is full, and it can't be delayed for too long. Moreover, the state has a special department responsible for dealing with the afterlife. When the time comes, it's okay to attend the funeral, even if they stay here, it won't help much, and the Gu family will have to take some people to accompany them.
Wu Tiangang arrived at the door of the ward and saw Zhou Haoran and Liu coming in and out. The two were stunned when they saw Wu Tianhou, and then reached out and pulled Wu Tian to the side.
"Something?" Wu Tian asked.
Zhou Haoran and Liu Jin glanced at each other, looking like they wanted to say something.
Wu Tian seemed to have guessed the hearts of the two. smiled faintly and asked, "Is Gu Yu inside?" ”
Zhou Haoran and Liu Jin showed surprised expressions on their faces, and after looking at Wu Tian's face for a while, they nodded.
"Yes, Gu Yu is inside." Zhou Haoran looked at Wu Tian and said, "Wu Tian, do you really want to go in?" "It's one thing to hear Gu Yu come back, and it's another thing to see a real person, so Zhou Haoran is even more worried about Wu Tian, for fear that Wu Tian will have something to do when he sees Gu Yu.
"Old Man Gu is gone, can I not go in?" Wu Tian got rid of Zhou Haoran's hand, then waved his hand on the other party's shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I'm really fine." With that, he walked into the ward.
After Zhou Haoran saw it, he immediately gave Wang Da, Hao Jun and Liu Jin a look, and several people who had already gone in followed Wu Tian into the house again.
In the ward, the people of the Gu family stood by the bedside, receiving the people who came to see the old man. Old man Gu has two sons and two daughters, two grandsons, a granddaughter and two granddaughters, and he can be regarded as a thriving family in the capital. Today, even the old man's daughter-in-law came here, and several old men and old ladies sat on the sofa on crutches, all with sad expressions on their faces. Old Man Gu has always been at the helm of the Gu family, and now that Old Man Gu is gone, it is undoubtedly a very huge loss for the Gu family. The big family pays attention to generation after generation, if there is a generation that is not connected, there will be a fault situation, as long as there is a fault in one generation, it is very difficult to connect again, and the strict zhòng will make the whole family decline from then on. This is the situation of the Gu family now. In addition to the second generation of the Gu family, the other three children are all mediocre in qualifications, the second Gu is a deputy minister, or behind, and the two daughters of the old man Gu are both directors, which is nothing at all in the capital where there are many officials, and the age is there, and there is not much room for improvement. As for the third generation of the Gu family, it is even more miserable, the most promising is a battalion commander, not to mention the others, and there are also those who are in business, and they can't solve the class at all. So on the surface, the Gu family is prosperous, but the actual situation is not ideal. This is different from the Wu family, although the old man Wu left early, but the second generation took over, and now the Wu family has a character who can be calmed, and with the position of Wu Tian's father, he can only rank third in the Wu family. As for the third generation, don't look at Wu Tian is engaged in research, not a person in the officialdom, but other people are very powerful, as a mayor, as a director, there is a lot of room for growth, this is not counting the family of children and daughters, this is a big family.
Because of the wave of bigwigs who had just walked away, some of the vacant places in the house attracted the attention of many people when Wu Tian came in. Many people in the Gu family were stunned for a moment, what happened to Wu Tian when Gu Yu married abroad. They are all very clear. Now that Gu Yu is back, I saw several bigwigs of the Wu family coming before, but I didn't see Wu Tian, thinking that Wu Tian would not come, but now seeing Wu Tian suddenly appear, it reminded them of a few years ago, and many people were even a little embarrassed, after all, it was Gu Yu who was responsible for Wu Tian's intentions, which even led to some subtle changes in the relationship between the Wu family and the Gu family.
"Wu Tian, you're here." Boss Gu looked at Wu Tian and said.
Wu Tian looked at the old man on the bed. After staring silently for a while, he turned his head to look at Boss Gu, the man who almost became his father-in-law, and said, "Uncle Gu, please mourn." After speaking, he shook hands with Boss Gu, and after letting go, he comforted the other uncles and aunts, and then the third generation of the Gu family. Led by Gu Yu.
Finally seeing her again!
Although more than four years have passed, she still looks the same, and the years have hardly left any traces on her face, still so beautiful and elegant. Out of this world. In Wu Tian's memory, she has always been like this, there has been no change, and time seems to exist in front of her at all.
Those buried memories came back to me. This time it was far more than the news that came out of Zhou Haoran when she heard her return. Pictures and memories, from the time the two of them were very young. Until the time of separation, it was like an old-fashioned black-and-white movie, playing in Wu Tian's mind.
In fact, on the way to the hospital, Wu Tian kept reminding himself, comforting himself, and encouraging himself in his heart, but when this moment really came, when he saw this woman, Wu Tian found that his previous comfort was useless, and a strong man suddenly seemed to be as fragile as glass, as if he would shatter when touched. Wu Tian admitted that he looked down on himself, and also underestimated Gu Yu's position in his heart.
At this time, almost everyone in the ward focused on Wu Tian and Gu Yu, after all, the matter between them, no one present knew about it, and they were also very worried about what Wu Tian would do at this time.
Everyone is speculating that when Wu Tian saw Gu Yu this time, he still maintained his enthusiasm for Gu Yu a few years ago, or turned his enthusiasm into hatred. It is even said that Wu Tian's attitude towards Gu Yu today is likely to affect the attitude of the entire Wu family towards the Gu family in the future.
"You're back." In the end, it was Wu Tian who spoke first. His face still maintained the calm when he came in, but some hoarse voices betrayed his psychology at this time, but in this case, it was easy to be taken as sad by Old Man Gu's death.
"Yes." Gu Yu said softly, "Thank you for coming." ”
"It should." Wu Tian said lightly, "Mourning." With that, he turned around and left the ward.
Such a scene was beyond everyone's expectations, and the imaginary scene of Mars hitting the Earth did not happen, but only a meteor streaked across the sky.
Accidental, so unexpected!
No one could figure out what Wu Tian and Gu Yu were thinking now, with calm expressions and simple conversations, as if nothing had ever happened between the two. Especially for Wu Tian, because according to Wu Tian's personality four years ago, he had already turned this place upside down, and the people present at that time were not unaware of Wu Tian's madness, and even many bigwigs were alarmed. But today, four years later, when Wu Tian saw Gu Yu again, he was so calm, could it be that in Wu Tian's heart, everything had really passed? Or do you treat Gu Yu as a familiar stranger?
But why, after Wu Tian turned around, his back made people feel so complicated, and even felt a strong sadness, which made people want to cry?
Also, why did Gu Yu's eyes stay on Wu Tian's back when Wu Tian left, even after the other party walked out, he still looked out of the door?
Will the encounter after four years really be so simple?
Zhou Haoran and the others hurriedly followed, and then hurriedly followed. Today, the old man of the Gu family is gone, but he has made a few of them busy and dizzy, and they are busier than the Gu family seems to be.
"Brother Tian, you are so good." Hao Jun came to Wu Tian's side and whispered, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many people here, he might have hugged Wu Tian directly.
"What a man!" Wang Da said to Wu Tian. At this time, even he had to secretly extend a thumbs up to Wu Tian.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
No matter what Wu Tian said before, he and Zhou Haoran didn't believe it, but now after seeing Wu Tian's calm expression when they met Gu Yu, they couldn't help but believe it.
This is the man, it's really bullish, really let go. And now, they're really relieved.
Wu Tian smiled faintly when he heard this, and said, "You followed me in just now, did you want to pull me not to make trouble?" “
Hearing Wu Tian's words, the other four people were embarrassed, but Zhou Haoran reacted quickly, patted Wu Tian on the shoulder and said, "We are five brothers, of course we have to go in together." Do you see that star in Hong Kong has passed away, don't the four kings all appear together? This is a way to show that our five brothers have a lot of respect for Old Man Gu. Pulling you? Why are we pulling you? And I don't believe that you will cause trouble when Old Man Gu leaves. Okay, everything that should be expressed has been expressed, let's go too, don't make trouble for others here. ”
Wang Da, Hao Jun and Liu Jin looked at Zhou Haoran, the other party didn't say that to them just now. If you lie and don't even blink your eyelids, you are worthy of being a profiteer among profiteers, and your skin is thick. (To be continued......)
