Chapter 109: Speculation
She didn't want Chang Yan to bother with her business, so she shook her head.
Chang Yan fell silent at this moment, and what he wanted to say was still nothing.
Gu Shi'an didn't want to stay on this topic anymore, and said in a low voice: "I'll go wash up first." ”
Her body had not fully recovered, and her face was pale. It's too late to go back and forth, and there is a bit of tiredness between my eyebrows.
Chang Yan nodded at this time, let her go to bed early, and talk about it tomorrow if she has something.
By the time Gu Shi'an finished washing up and lay on the bed, it was already past eleven o'clock, and her mind was a little messy. Chang Yin's affairs are like a mess in my heart. She didn't even know what she could do for her.
A wave of weakness that she had never felt before came up from the bottom of her heart, and she closed her eyes tightly.
She had insomnia and fell asleep in the second half of the night. Before man could fall asleep, he fell into a nightmare.
The dream was dark, like going back to when a man was thrown into the cave, so powerless and so desperate.
She wanted to struggle and move. But I found that I couldn't move. It was as if her body was restrained, and she couldn't move as much as she wanted.
There was no water, but she felt as if she had been thrown into the water. I couldn't breathe at all, and I was suffocating to the point of going crazy.
She struggled for a long time before she woke up from her dream.
There was already a dense fine sweat on her forehead, and it was pitch black all around, and she reached out and touched the water cup placed at the bedside and drank half a glass of water. It slowly eased up.
When she woke up this time, she couldn't sleep again, and she closed her eyes. The despair and helplessness of being in the cave came to mind.
She closed her eyes tightly and didn't move.
Somehow, she suddenly remembered that time at the construction site, the bricks on the upper floor fell.
It's just that I don't know if that incident was aimed at her or Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao did not mention it later.
If it was against her, it means that someone wanted her life a long time ago.
Gu Shi'an's mind has calmed down now. Since she had wanted her life for a long time, there must be a next time.
Gu Shi'an suddenly remembered what Chang Yan said, and grandma wanted to divide the shares in hand. When she thought of this, she remembered her father's death.
Her body stiffened slightly, and she sat on the bed for a long time without moving.
Chang Yan had to go to work, so he boiled porridge for Gu Shi'an early the next day, and told her to call her if there was anything to do and left in a hurry.
As soon as she left, the room was empty. Gu Shi'an sat at the table and drank porridge slowly, and sat on the sofa in the living room for a while before going out.
She went downstairs to Chen Xiao's company, but she didn't go to the company. Stand downstairs and call him.
Chen Xiao's phone was answered not long after, and he asked directly, "What's the matter?" ”
Gu Shi'an said at this time: "I'm downstairs from you." Can I meet you? ”
"Find a place to sit, and I'll come down when I'm done with what I'm doing." Chen Xiao replied.
Gu Shi'an responded with a good word, and when he saw a café opposite, he told Chen Xiao that he was waiting for him in the café.
Chen Xiao didn't say much, and simply responded with a good word. Hung up the phone.
Chen Xiao came down in just ten minutes, and the black tea ordered by Gu Shi'an had not yet been delivered at that time. Gu Shi'an was sitting conspicuously, and he saw her at a glance without calling.
He quickly walked over and sat down opposite Gu Shi'an. He didn't ask her anything, and asked, "This shop has good desserts, what do you want to eat?" Cake? ”
Gu Shi'an shook his head and said no.
Chen Xiao ignored him, and invited the waiter to serve him the signature dessert here, and then a glass of Blue Mountain.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Gu Shi'an again and asked her what she wanted to drink. At this time, Gu Shi'an said that he had already ordered.
The waiter quickly went down, and Chen Xiao asked at this time, "What do you have to come over to say?" He seemed to know that Gu Shi'an had been discharged from the hospital, and he didn't ask when she would be discharged.
Gu Shi'an fell silent at this time. The waitress brought her the black tea she ordered, and she looked at the steaming heat, and after a while, she asked, "How much do you know about Chang Yan?" ”
She came over to ask about Chang Yin.
Chen Xiao glanced at her at this time, and said with a smile: "You can't protect yourself, but this idle matter is quite lenient." After a slight pause, he then asked, "Why are you asking this?" ”
Gu Shi'an lowered his head and said nothing.
Chen Xiao glanced at her and didn't speak.
The two didn't speak for a while, and soon the waiter brought the signature muffin mousse cake and stale coffee.
Chen Xiao pushed all the desserts in front of Gu Shi'an, glanced at her again, and then asked, "Are you well?" Start running around? ”
Gu Shi'an replied at this time: "Okay." ”
Chen Xiao glanced at her coldly and didn't speak. He took his coffee and drank it. After taking two sips, he looked at the time and asked, "Say, what's the matter?" ”
Gu Shi'an was silent for a while, and then said, "Can you help and let Chang Yan ...... Get out of here? ”
When she left, she naturally meant a quiet departure.
Chen Xiao looked at her at this time, and asked with some playfulness: "You came here because of this?" ”
In his eyes, it was as if it wasn't a matter at all.
Gu Shi'an nodded silently.
Chen Xiao put down the coffee cup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Before you come here, you should ask her if she wants to leave." ”
Gu Shi'an didn't understand what Chen Xiao meant, so he looked up at him.
Chen Xiao said succinctly: "You should first ask her if she is willing to leave, and then come to me." ”
He was a little lazy, as if he was sure that Chang Yin would not leave.
Gu Shi'an fell silent at this time.
Chen Xiao didn't care about her, just drank coffee like that. After waiting for a cup of coffee to finish, he raised his wrist to look at the time and said, "Let's go, I'll ask the driver to take you back." ”
Gu Shi'an shook his head and said, "No, I'll go back myself." ”
Chen Xiao didn't pay attention to her, put one hand in his trouser pocket, and walked directly outside. I was making a phone call while walking, probably asking the driver to come over.
Gu Shi'an's heart was heavy, so he walked out silently. Outside the café, Chen Xiao's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Gu Shi'an almost hit him, and quickly stopped.
Just as he was about to look up at Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao looked back at her. The corners of his lips hooked, he played with the car keys in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Qin Tang's people follow you?" ”
Gu Shi'an looked at him blankly. She came all the way. She didn't notice anyone following her.
At this moment, she remembered what Qin Tang said in the hospital that day, so she nodded and said, "It should be." ”
Chen Xiao didn't speak, just looked at her with a smile or not. looked at Gu Shi'an's creepy eyes.
I thought he was going to say something, but he didn't say anything. When the driver came, he withdrew his gaze and motioned for Gu Shi'an to get in the car.
Gu Shi'an didn't speak this time and got into the car directly. She didn't expect that she would find nothing when she came here, so she looked out the window blankly.
Probably because she had too many things in her head, she was so tired that she fell asleep when she returned home.
Gu Shi'an was woken up by her mobile phone, and it took her a while to react. Picked up my phone.
The phone was called by Qin Tang, so she answered it and called Mr. Qin in a dumb voice.
Qin Tang probably heard that she was sleeping, and said, "Come here and open the door, I'm outside." ”
Gu Shi'an hurriedly got up, took his coat and put it on, and trotted to open the door.
She slept until late in the evening, and it was already dark in the hallway. When she went out, Qin Tang was standing in the corridor smoking, and when he saw her, he extinguished the cigarette butt.
He carried a food box in his other hand, and Gu Shi'an quickly stepped aside and let him in.
During this time, Qin Tang was taking care of her, and she was a little reluctant to go, so she said, "You don't have to come over, I'll get it myself." ”
She said that she was going to pick up the food box in Qin Tang's hand, but Qin Tang didn't hand it to her, and said to her, "Go wash up and eat while it's hot." ”
Gu Shi'an replied and went to wash.
When she came out, Qin Tang had already taken off his coat, took out all the things in the food box, and put them on the table. And the dishes and chopsticks that have been prepared.
What he brought was three dishes and one soup, and the soup was black-bone chicken soup. Stewed with medicinal herbs, there is a smell of medicine box.
Gu Shi'an sat down and Qin Tang was about to serve her soup, where could she let him do it. I hurriedly said that I would come by myself. Then I took the spoon.
Qin Tang also let her.
During the meal, neither of them spoke, and when Gu Shi'an finished eating, he had to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but Qin Tang said no. It's all in the food box, and I said that my aunt will clean it up when I go back.
It was already dark outside, and he didn't mention it, so Gu Shi'an poured her a cup of tea.
The living room was quiet, save for the occasional sound coming from the TV.
Gu Shi'an sat in silence, and after a while, she asked, "Mr. Qin, is there anything wrong with my father's car accident?" ”
She had wanted to ask this question a long time ago. From the moment Qin Tang said that he wanted to talk to her about her father, she wanted to ask.
Qin Tang's hand holding the cup paused slightly, and he didn't speak for a while. After a while, he said, "I learned from others some time ago that your father was drunk before the car accident. I talked to someone about the company's company. ”
The company he said naturally refers to Gu's.
Gu Shi'an's fingers clenched tightly unconsciously. He raised his head and stared at Qin Tang like that.
Qin Tang pondered slightly, and then said: "At that time, the Gu family encountered a credibility crisis, and several banks did not lend money to the Gu family. Gu's board of directors once had a big quarrel because of this. When your father was drunk, he told people about the selfishness of your uncles. At that time, I don't know how it was negotiated, but the later reputation crisis was solved by your father who went to the bank many times and met with the heads of several banks at that time. Speaking of this, he paused slightly, looked at Gu Shi'an, and then said: "Not long after the credibility crisis was resolved, your father had a car accident. ”
Gu Shi'an's fingers clenched little by little. Uncontrollably trembling slightly. She heard her trembling voice asking, "You mean if the car accident wasn't an accident......"
Her mind was extremely clear at the moment, but her throat seemed to be choked, and it was so laborious to spit out every word.
Qin Tang was silent for a moment, and continued without waiting for her to speak: "The car accident happened too suddenly, if it wasn't an accident, then it should have been some negotiation between them during the credibility crisis. ”
Moreover, this negotiation should have harmed the interests of some people. But he didn't say it.
Although he didn't say it, Gu Shi'an understood.
She wanted to say something, but she couldn't say a word at the moment. Biting his lip tightly, he restrained himself from trembling so much.
If it is really like speculation, flesh and blood, how can they do it.
Qin Tang was silent and didn't speak again, and after a while, he continued: "This is just speculation. Don't act rashly just yet. ”
Gu Shi'an bit his lip tightly and didn't move. She suddenly remembered what Chang Yan said. At that time, they said, my father committed suicide. But as usual, my father ...... He wouldn't be willing to leave her alone.
Gu Shi'an's mind was in a big mess at the moment, and something was about to come out of his mind. It's like you're going to blow your brain apart. She buried her head in the palm of her hand and pressed it tightly.
Her whole body was curled up together, her figure thin and thin. Qin Tang looked at it silently, wanting to say something to comfort. But any comfort is powerless at this moment.
It was very quiet in the living room, and after a long while, he said, "I've got people looking into it, and it won't be long before there is a reply." ”
People's guilt will always fade slowly in time. I can even become reasonable.
Gu Shi'an knew that with her own strength. It is undoubtedly difficult to find out the results. Since they were able to give their father an excuse to commit suicide, this proves that they have already negotiated. After so many years, it is undoubtedly more difficult to pry something out of their mouths.
She didn't say anything polite to Qin Tang this time, and said thank you in a low voice. Except for thanks, she didn't even know what she could give back to Qin Tang.
Qin Tang signaled that she didn't have to be polite, and wanted to say something, but seeing her trance-like appearance, he didn't say anything.
Although Gu Shi'an was suspicious, this matter was really spread out. There must be a certain impact on her. He didn't speak, got up and poured her a glass of water, and stood on the balcony and smoked.
When Chang Yan came back, Qin Tang hadn't left yet, she hadn't seen Qin Tang, and when she opened the door, she paused slightly when she saw someone moving, neither advancing nor retreating.
Qin Tang stood up, said to Gu Shi'an that he had something to call him, then picked up his coat and walked out. When he got close to Chang Yin, he nodded to her slightly chin as a greeting, and then took the door and went out.
Chang Yan didn't ask who Qin Tang was, put the small wontons he brought for supper on the table, and said to Gu Shi'an: "Come and eat while it's hot." There was no soup left in the store, so I cooked it over there and brought it over. ”
She is like this now, Gu Shi'an doesn't want her to know about her father. made a casual appearance, responded to the hello, and stepped forward to eat the wontons.
Chang Yan's craftsmanship has always been good, but she has no appetite at all. Afraid that she would see something, she insisted on eating all the bowls of small wontons, so she put down her chopsticks.
It's not early, and after eating, Chang Yan urges her to wash up and go to sleep.
Gu Shi'an was afraid that she would see something, so he smiled reluctantly. also let her go to bed early, and went back to the room after washing.
I ate a little bit, and my stomach was a little uncomfortable. She didn't fall asleep. He stood in front of the window in the room in a daze.
I don't know how long I stood there, and suddenly the sound prompt of a text message rang on my phone. It took her a moment before she took her phone out.
The text message that came turned out to be sent by Gu Su. I don't know how she texted her in the middle of the night. Gu Shi'an didn't want to take care of it, but he almost made a little bit of a ghost.
Instead of text, she posted a picture, indicating that it was being downloaded.
Gu Shi'an didn't plan to care, and was about to return and throw his phone aside. All of a sudden, the picture popped up.
Her movements stopped.
The light in the picture is ambiguous, several men and women are sitting together, while Chen Xiao and Li Ran are sitting next to each other. From the perspective of shooting, it is ambiguous.
Chen Xiao was still that lazy and careless look, but Li Ran had a shy smile on his face.
Gu Shi'an looked at it and didn't move for a while.
Gu Su didn't just send one photo, after four or five minutes, he sent another one. Although the two are not next to each other, the angle is still ambiguous.
She was in good spirits, and she posted seven or eight photos in half an hour before she stopped.
Gu Shi'an, who was behind, didn't look at it, so he sat down on the floor against the wall. At this time, she suddenly remembered that night in front of the bonfire, Li Ran confessed in public.
She closed her eyes. There was a blank blank in my head. At that time, Chen Xiao did not have any response.
But back then, the situation was exceptional. She didn't even know that if it wasn't for Chen Xiao thinking she was pregnant at the time......
She thought about it and didn't think about it anymore.
In fact, what should come, should always come.
Gu Shi'an's stomach swelled all of a sudden, and she didn't have time to react, so she ran to the bathroom. Then he threw up in the bathroom.
Until he vomited everything he had just eaten. She didn't stop until she vomited all the acid in her stomach.
The sound insulation here is good, and seeing that Chang Yan was not woken up, she sat down on the floor and rested her head against the cold wall.
It was as if her body had collapsed, and it was a long time before she got up. I washed up again, washed my face with cold water again, and then went back to lie on the bed.
She had probably been sitting on the ground for a long time, and her body was very cold. His teeth slammed up and down uncontrollably. She curled up, closed her eyes, and didn't want to think about anything.
When Gu Shi'er woke up, it was already past eight o'clock, she sat on the bed for a long time, and waited for Chang Yan to go to work outside, so she got up.
Breakfast was already placed on the table, and Chang Yan left a small note intimately. Let her eat breakfast if it is hot or cold.
Gu Shi'an saw that the note was put away, and after breakfast, he called the old mansion and said that he was going to see the old lady.
The call over there was answered by the aunt, and she didn't ask Gu Shi'an when she would go over as usual. Instead, let Gu Shi'an wait, and she went to tell the old lady.
It didn't take long for the phone over there to be picked up, and this time it was the old lady who answered it, and asked Gu Shi'an with a smile why she didn't call her mobile phone.
When she heard that Gu Shi'an was going over, she asked her not to go over. She had a party with old friends some time ago and went to a Cantonese restaurant, where the dishes were authentic, and she wanted to take Gu Shi'an to try it.
The grandfather and grandson hadn't eaten out for many years, so Gu Shi'an responded. The old lady originally wanted the driver to come and pick her up, but she didn't let her, saying that it was troublesome, and she just took a taxi herself.
She was closer, and the old lady hadn't arrived yet. She stood on the side of the road for about ten minutes. The old lady just came over.
The last time the grandparents and grandchildren met was in the hospital, and the old lady was sharp-eyed, and when she saw her, she asked her distressedly how she lost weight.
Although Gu Shi'an's wrist had been removed from the gauze, the criss-crossing scars were terrifying. Gu Shi'an was afraid of being seen by the old lady, so his sleeves were pulled down and covered tightly.
When she heard the old lady ask, she touched her face, and pretended to be surprised and said, "Is your face thin?" I weighed it on the electronic scale a few days ago and gained two pounds. ”
The old lady glared at her and said, "Nonsense, where you are fat, you are obviously thin." ”
Gu Shi'an said it very seriously now, and then said: "The meat must have grown somewhere else, so you didn't see it." ”
She was coquettish, but the old lady didn't hold on to it, and asked her how Mrs. Chen's body was doing.
Gu Shi'an hadn't been back for a long time, and Chen Xiao hadn't told her, she didn't know. I had to say vaguely, which is good.
Old Madam Gu didn't ask much, nodded, and then took Gu Shi'an inside.
She had already booked a place, and when she entered the door, a waiter led her grandparents and grandchildren to the private room. It wasn't until she sat down that the old lady looked at Gu Shi'an kindly and asked, "Why did you remember to come to see grandma today?" ”
Gu Shi'an poured her a cup of tea and said, "Isn't this missing you?" ”
The old lady laughed at this point.
Gu Shi'an handed the teacup to her, and then asked, "How are you doing, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
The smile in the old lady's eyes faded slightly, but her face didn't show it at all, and said, "Okay, grandma is okay at any time." ”
That being said, the silver hair on her head had increased a lot.
