Chapter 170: Maybe let it go
Jiang Guangguang sat up from the bed and was about to get out of bed immediately. She was still on the infusion, and the doctor looked at her with a frown and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Jiang Guangguang pursed his lips, and before he could speak, Guo Shu pushed the door and walked in.
Seeing that she was about to get out of bed, Guo Shu stepped forward quickly and said, "Your ecology is still very weak now, lie down first." ”
The expression on his face was a little nervous, Jiang Guangguang was stunned, and subconsciously touched his flat lower abdomen.
Guo Shu naturally knew what she was thinking, and said in a low voice: "The child is fine, but you have to rest well." The doctor said that you have some low blood sugar and some weakness. ”
Jiang Guangguang's hand was resting on his stomach and did not speak. After a long time, he looked up at Guo Shu, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm going over there." ”
She was a little dazed, and her heart was very empty. She didn't even know what to fill it up with.
Guo Shu pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle Huo will come over soon, I'll ask the doctor later." After a slight pause, he slowed down his voice and continued: "They searched for a long time and didn't find anyone, you can count it as a pass."
He didn't say anything about the rest of the story, and Jiang Guangguang's fingers trembled slightly. So many people searched and couldn't find anyone, and her hope was also slim.
Her lips trembled, and she didn't speak for a moment. It's all at this point, and it's useless to be weak. She quickly calmed down, closed her eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Does Uncle Huo know about the child?" ”
She was carefully hidden during this time, but fortunately, morning sickness was not so frequent after she came back. The stomach is not visible, and no one notices.
Guo Shu shook his head and said, "I said hello to the doctor." Don't worry, Uncle Huo won't know. ”
Jiang Guangguang said thank you in a low voice.
Guo Shu looked at her and hesitated. "Are you going to keep it a secret?" he asked. ”
Jiang Guangguang's chest ached faintly, and he was at a loss, and he didn't even know where he should go next.
After a long while, Guo Shu heard her say, "Let's talk about it later." ”
Jiang Guangguang spent the night in the hospital and arrived along the river the next day. It's not the same here as when I left, it's very cold. There are plainclothes people on the side of the road, and checkpoints are set up to check the traffic coming and going.
The sky was gray, but the atmosphere was tense, and there was no silence at all.
After getting off the plane, Guo Shu took Jiang Guangguang to Cheng Rongjian's villa. There was a ruined ruin, charred everywhere. It's long gone.
Jiang Guangguang walked towards the ruins step by step, looking around blankly. The house used to be surrounded by creepers, but now it is in ashes. I can't even see the shadow of the original.
The huge pain seemed to tear her apart, she thought about the day, but she didn't expect that all this would come so quickly.
It's probably because she's been crying too much in the past few days, and at this moment, there wasn't a single tear in her empty eyes. Only the sharp pain tore at the whole body.
I don't know how long she stood in the cold wind, Guo Shucai, who had been following her, took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Let's go, your body is still very weak, don't catch a cold." I've been searching here a few times, and I've made an appointment for a week, and he'll tell you about it. ”
Jiang Guangguang didn't speak, and after a while, he said in a low voice, "I want to stay alone for a while." ”
When she said this, she didn't go to see Guo Shu. The expression on his face is also calm.
Guo Shu was silent for a while, and finally answered a good word. Returned to the car, then lit a cigarette and smoked silently.
Jiang Guangguang stood on the ruins for a long time, and then slowly walked back to the car and said in a low voice, "Let's go." ”
She was well prepared before she came, and she was dressed very thickly. Probably because she had stood in the wind for too long, her lips were blue from the cold. It wasn't until I sat in the car for a while that I slowly eased up.
No one spoke along the way, and there was silence in the car. Zhou Lai's office is in the hotel where he used to live, and the security is tight. You can't easily come and go at will.
Jiang Guangguang and Guo Shu were already waiting when they arrived, he was wearing civilian clothes, his posture was tall under the dark blue coat, he was smoking a cigarette, and there was no expression on his face.
Guo Shu greeted him when he got out of the car, Zhou Lai knew their intentions, extinguished the cigarette butt, and said, "Let's go upstairs and sit for a while." ”
Guo Shu smiled and said, "I won't go, I'll walk around here." When he said this, he looked at Jiang Guangguang and said, "Call me if you finish talking." ”
When Huo Chongyun came, he had told him that they couldn't stay here for a long time.
Jiang Guangguang knew that he was going to avoid it, so he nodded, and answered in a hoarse voice.
Guo Shu bowed slightly at Zhou Lai, got in the car and drove away.
Jiang Guangguang followed Zhou Lai upstairs all the way, and some people came and went to greet Zhou Lai, but he only bowed slightly. It can be seen that he should have been promoted again.
has the background of the Zhou family, not to mention that he is so good, even if he is mediocre, it is not comparable to ordinary people.
The place where Zhou Lai lives is not very big, he is used to drinking coffee, so he sat down and made a cup of coffee for Jiang Guangguang, and said in a low voice: "It's windy outside, drink some hot to warm your body." ”
Jiang Guangguang thought that he would be anxious to see him, but in fact, she was very calm. It's like homesickness. I want to grasp that little bit of ethereal hope.
She didn't pick up the cup of coffee, but said, "I've been suffering from insomnia lately, just give me a cup of plain water." ”
Zhou Lai simply responded with a hello, turned around and poured a glass of boiled water, and put it in front of Jiang Guangguang.
There was no word between the two for a while, and Zhou Lai was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Our people didn't find him. He didn't look at Jiang Guangguang, and paused slightly. Then he said: "The side where he lives, one of the charred corpses, the body is similar to him, although it is not certain, but our people have seen him enter the villa with their own eyes. It's also OK that he's been in there all along. ”
Zhou Lai's voice was soft, and it could be said to be gentle. But Jiang Guangguang felt as if he had been beaten with a stick, and a wave of dizziness came from his head.
She knew too well what Zhou Lai was talking about. She subconsciously grabbed the armrest of the sofa. With a pair of empty eyes, he looked at Zhou Lai so straight.
Zhou Lai lit another cigarette and smoked it, and continued as if he was ruthless: "Actually, this is not a good result, and it can be regarded as preserving his dignity." Although he helped a lot in rescuing the hostages, it did not offset his crimes. He lowered his head when he said this, then raised his head to look at Jiang Guangguang, smiled indifferently, and said, "Aei, he is proud." There is no freedom in the life of a trapped prison, and life is worse than death. That's not what he wants. ”
Zhou Lai's tone was very calm, and when he mentioned Cheng Rong Jianlai, now he didn't have the hatred he had before.
Jiang Guangguang was hollow and painful, and closed his eyes.
Yes, death and prison, this is the end of Cheng Rongjian. She had thought of it a long time ago, but now, it was in such pain.
Her mind was reminded of the past, and the pain seemed to tear her apart. She was almost out of breath.
Zhou looked at the pain on her face, and her fists clenched unconsciously tightly. He was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Before he had an accident, he arranged for Ding Junqing to go abroad. ”
Jiang Guangguang looked at him blankly, Zhou Lai paused slightly, and then said: "Ding Junqing's background is not simple. Even if he stayed, no one dared to touch him. He arranged for her to go abroad because he was afraid that she would be hurt. ”
Jiang Guangguang is not stupid, so he naturally won't be unable to figure out what is going on. After a long time, she smiled faintly, and said with a pale and weak face, "I know." ”
She stood up as she spoke, and said in a low voice, "Brother Zhou Lai, thank you." I'll go first. ”
She was very calm, Zhou looked at her back, and her eyes were obscure. After a long time, he chased her out and sent her downstairs.
When he arrived downstairs, Jiang Guangguang's mood had completely calmed down. When she was waiting for Guo Shu in the parking lot, she asked, "Cheng Jinyan, have you caught it?" ”
Zhou Lai's body stiffened slightly, and said, "A wanted warrant has been issued." ”
Not catching this is what Jiang Guangguang expected, if he is caught, both Guo Shu and Huo Chongyun will definitely mention it.
Jiang Guangguang nodded. Zhou looked at her pale side face, and then said: "I will definitely arrest him back, and I will be responsible for the follow-up this time." ”
Jiang Guangguang said thank you in a low voice. Zhou Lai smiled faintly and said, "You're welcome." ”
Unconsciously, the two of them were so strange. He was slightly in a trance.
Jiang Guangguang didn't speak anymore. Guo Shu came over in a few minutes, and when Jiang Guangguang was about to walk to the front of the car, Zhou Lai stopped her.
She looked back. Zhou Lai stared at her and said softly, "Aei, you have to be good." ”
Jiang Guangguang squeezed out a smile, nodded, and got into the car.
The car quickly moved away, and Zhou Lai stood in place, as if he was about to become a statue.
The smile squeezed out by Jiang Guangguang in the car gradually faded, and he sat sluggishly. Guo Shu glanced at her in the rearview mirror and asked, "Do you want to eat something?" ”
Since he came over, Jiang Guangguang has not eaten.
Jiang Guangguang shook his head and said softly, "Let me get out of the car in front." I want to walk again. ”
Guo Shu didn't say anything at this time, and pulled over and stopped the car. Because of martial law, there were almost no people on the streets.
Jiang Guangguang walked along the empty street, and the clammy wind blew the bangs on her forehead in all directions. It was cold, but she walked tirelessly along the street as if she couldn't feel it.
Walking through the alleys, through the streets she was familiar with. The hot liquid in his eye sockets flowed down, and he was dried by the wind in the blink of an eye.
Guo Shu drove behind her from noon until dark. As if she was going to walk the whole city, she went to a lot of places. Stayed in the courtyard for a long time.
It had been uninhabited for too long, and the small courtyard was covered with a thin layer of dust. She went to the cellar where she had stayed with Cheng Rongjian, it was still damp and cold, she hadn't cleaned up for too long, and there was a musty smell. She had only been down there for a few minutes before her stomach swelled and she vomited.
Walking through the alley where the two had crossed paths for the first time, Jiang Guangguang's pain suddenly became intense. She leaned against the cold wall and closed her eyes tightly.
If there was no beginning, but there was no if.
It's been a long time, but the memory in my mind is still as vivid as yesterday. His raised eyebrows, the evil aura at the corners of his mouth, his magnified and impeccably handsome face.
The corners of Jiang Guangguang's lips suddenly spread into a faint smile, and he opened his eyes and looked at the gray sky.
The last words of Zhou Lai came to mind, and she blinked her moist eyes. Say softly in your heart: goodbye, all the memories.
Jiang Guangguang was cold when he got into the car. She did not spend the night along the river, and returned to the imperial capital with Guo Shu that night.
On the plane I started a fever and was groggy. There was no doctor with him, so Guo Shu could only ask the stewardess to bring a towel to cool her down.
Her face was burned red, and she herself seemed to be a nobody, comforting Guo Shu and saying that it was okay.
When she got off the plane, she refused to go to the hospital or Huo Chongyun, insisting on going back to her home.
When she struggled, she was very struggling, Guo Shu couldn't resist her, so she could only temporarily ask someone to clean up the place. It's an old house over there, and there's no heating. and let people burn a warm stove.
When Jiang Guangguang went back, the room was warm, she was so groggy that she ate half a bowl of porridge and lay on the bed.
She has been sick for most of the month, and because she is pregnant, she does not dare to use many medicines. Drugs can only be prescribed with mild remedies.
Zhong Xin was already out of confinement, and she was not allowed to come to see her, saying that she was sick and would pass it to her. Let her stay at home well.
She is not alone in the house, Guo Shu invited her aunt, and Huo Chongyun directly sent the aunt at home.
When she was sick, she ate and slept, and when she fell asleep, she ate again, but she didn't feel anything. When he is no longer groggy, Guo Shu will come over from time to time to bring some fruit or some books. Life is not boring.
Perhaps it was past the initial pain that she could no longer see anything on the surface. Even when he speaks, he has a faint smile on his face. I don't know if it's really in the past, or if it's hidden in my heart.
But these Guo Shu never asked, and carefully avoided them.
Time flies quickly, and it is the wax moon in a flash. It's rare to have a few sunny days. Because of her illness, her stomach did not show her pregnancy.
After the initial morning sickness, the child is obedient and strong. She has been sick a few times and has not been affected, and she is developing well.
The illness was completely cured, and Jiang Guangguang was sent back to the two aunts at home. Began to live alone. She is not boring at all, and when the sun is out, she takes the books in her grandfather's study out to bask in the sun. When it rains, I stay at home and watch TV.
The TV series that used to look extremely boring, she now watches it with relish. It's just that no matter how tragic the separation of life and death is on TV, she will not shed tears.
She occasionally goes to Zhong Xin's side, and when she is out of confinement, Huo Rao has already opened. The little old man who used to be red and ugly is now white and fat.
But Huo Chongyun still dislikes him, occasionally crying, Zhong Xin hugs him and coaxes him, and he will immediately take it over to his aunt.
The old lady of the Huo family is rare for this grandson, and she will come over from time to time. It's just that Jiang Guangguang is no longer troubled, and seeing that her complexion is not good, she also sent a few supplements.
Jiang Guangguang accepted it all. When she was more acquainted, she read stories to the old lady. The old lady's eyes are not good, but she is very fascinated by the story. It's a pity that neither her son, daughter-in-law nor grandchildren have the patience to read it to her.
asked the maid at home to read it, but she thought that the person was reading it without emotion and very boring. Jiang Guangguang can also be regarded as his favorite.
Occasionally, when the sun was out, she read a story to the old lady in the yard, and some ladies came to see it, and they would praise Jiang Guangguang, a granddaughter, for her filial piety. The old lady didn't say anything, but her face was very proud.
Guo Shu was busy for a while at the end of the year. When I saw Jiang Guangguang again, Jiang Guangguang's face also had some flesh, white, quiet and beautiful.
When he entered the door, Jiang Guangguang was cooking lunch, and when he saw her coming, he peeled the live shrimp he bought from the aquatic market, and planned to fry the shrimp.
He put down the fruit he had brought and squatted down to help. Jiang Guangguang was not polite to him, and asked, "Are you done?" ”
Guo Shu smiled and said with a sigh of relief: "I'm almost done." After the year-end party, I can give myself a holiday. ”
The room was warm, and Jiang Guangguang only wore a T-shirt. You can see the bulging belly.
Guo Shu paused slightly, and asked softly, "Don't Uncle Huo and Aunt Zhong know yet?" ”
Jiang Guangguang shook his head. probably never thought about it that way, during this time, everyone only thought that she was fat, and no one thought that she was pregnant.
Guo Shu didn't ask when she was going to tell them, stared at her, and said, "Ah Ei, the child is born to be registered." ”
Yes. If you don't have a hukou, you can't go to school. Even in hospitals, you need a lot of documents.
Jiang Guangguang just snorted, obviously he had already thought about it.
Guo Shu fell silent, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said softly: "Ah Ei"
It's just that before he could say this, Jiang Guangguang stood up and said with a smile: "It's hard to come here, don't talk about this, wait." I'll get you something to eat. ”
The smile on her face was quiet, and she didn't look at him, but took the peeled shrimp and walked in the direction of the kitchen.
Guo Shu looked at her back, didn't say anything after all, and followed her into the kitchen to help.
Jiang Guangguang's recent work and rest time is quite normal, and the refrigerator is also full, so it can be seen that he is living a very attentive life.
Guo Shu wanted to say something several times, but he was brought over by Jiang Guangguang.
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was eaten at the Huo family's old house. This time, it wasn't Huo Chongyun who asked people to pick her up. It was Mrs. Huo who came to pick it up in person.
is probably old, the old lady is stubborn like a child, Jiang Guangguang can't refuse, so he has to go to the old mansion with her.
The Huo family has a large population, and the New Year is very lively. Mrs. Huo deliberately let her show her face, and kept her by her side to introduce her to this and that. Jiang Guangguang hadn't entertained this kind of scene for a long time, he was simply dizzy, and he found a gap before going out to breathe. Teasing Huo Rao.
Zhong Xin, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family, had to be stared at in the kitchen at this time.
Several tables were set up during the meal, Jiang Guangguang had never had such a lively year, and the previous New Year was often just her and her grandparents. Only after eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, will I go to Zhoulai's house. Zhou Lai's family was lively, but there were not as many people as the Huo family.
It was probably because Jiang Guangguang had already made it clear that he was an outsider, but no one embarrassed her, and treated her politely.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Mrs. Huo gave out red envelopes. There are children and grandchildren. What Jiang Guangguang didn't expect was that she actually had it. She was about to refuse, but the old lady forced it into her hands. On such a day, of course, she would not let everyone be disappointed, so she took it.
In the evening, the young and noisy people all went out to play, and the rest played mahjong in the old house. Jiang Guangguang originally didn't want to play, but Huo Chongyun was afraid that she would be bored, so he pushed her onto the court. And said that it was her who lost.
Although Jiang Guangguang's skills are not very exquisite, it is not so easy to lose. But she is very careful, and she has always maintained a state of not losing or winning.
When Guo Shu called, she had been playing for a while and didn't want to play anymore. With this excuse, he stood up and gave up his position to someone else.
Guo Shu should have just finished socializing, probably knowing that she was uncomfortable here, and asked her if she wanted to go out to play.
Jiang Guangguang really wanted to leave, so he agreed. Guo Shu asked her to stay, and he came to pick her up.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Guangguang breathed a sigh of relief. went to find Zhong Xin and said that Guo Shu came to pick her up, and she was going to leave first.
This is the New Year, Zhong Xin and they have to live in the old mansion.
originally thought that Zhong Xin would disagree, but now she was very happy and let Jiang Guangguang have a good time.
Jiang Guangguang knew that she had misunderstood, but he didn't explain anything, and nodded with a smile.
Guo Shu's car came, Zhong Xin was originally going to send Jiang Guangguang out. Jiang Guangguang said no, it was cold outside, so she coaxed Huo Rao.
Zhong Xin smiled, but she didn't insist. It's just that if you're late, it's okay to spend the night outside.
Jiang Guangguang smiled and nodded.
Jiang Guangguang disappeared on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Guo Shu had a bad premonition in his heart when he received a call from Zhong Xin who couldn't get through to Jiang Guangguang's mobile phone, he comforted Zhong Xin a few words, and immediately hurriedly went downstairs to drive.
When he arrived at the courtyard, the gate of the courtyard was locked, and he rang the doorbell for a long time, and no one answered the door, so he pried the door and entered.
The house was quiet, and there was no one at all. Only the bottom of the white porcelain cup on the small table pressed a simple letter.
