Chapter 38:
"Zhao Qi?" After not hearing Zhao Qi's response for a long time, Lu Huainian tentatively called out her name.
"I'm here."
"Tomorrow, I'll ask Xia Yuan to give you the things that have been investigated."
"Okay." Since the last time Lu Huainian asked her that question in person, the relationship between the two of them has begun to get colder and colder, and even if it is necessary, there are only a few words.
On the other hand, she and Guan Xi seem to be getting more and more acquainted.
Listening to her silence, Lu Huainian still didn't hang up the phone, as if waiting for something but didn't say anything. Zhao Qi hung it and hung it like this.
In the end, Zhao Qi couldn't bear his temperament and asked, "Lu Huainian?" ”
Lu Huainian coughed lightly, and his dull voice rose slightly, "Huh? ”
"Is there anything else you'd like to say? If not, I'll hang up. ”
Zhao Qi heard several intermittent coughs over there again, it's been half a month, isn't his cough getting better? As soon as I wanted to ask him about his physical condition, I was dumbfounded by his "hang it".
Forget it, I still don't ask.
Lu Huainian listened to the busy sound from the mobile phone and sighed lightly.
She still wouldn't say, not even explain.
When Xia Yuan came to deliver the documents, Zhao Qi knocked on him, and learned that Lu Huainian's cold was only contracted two days ago, and he ran several times in the past two days to stop the place where he was detained.
Because, Xia Yuan said that Guan Zhi wanted to see her, but Lu Huainian disagreed.
Zhao Qi has been thinking about it for a long time in the past few days, and he can't understand the reason why Guan Xi insists on seeing him.
This time it was Lu Huainian who Zhao Qi took the initiative to contact. "Lu Huainian, do you want to see me?"
"Xia Yuan told you?"
Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Zhao Qi could only pray that Lu Huainian would not embarrass Xia Yuan, "I said it, don't blame him." ”
"He told me he wanted to see you alone." Lu Huainian didn't want to convey this matter for him just to meet, let alone alone? Guan Zhi is the person who once scratched Zhao Qi and beat her, where did he get the face to ask to meet her alone?
Recalling Zhao Qi's fear of his whole person that day, Lu Huainian didn't even want to see Guan Zhi.
Zhao Qi buttoned the buttons on his coat, and after thinking about the pros and cons for a long time, he still wanted to see Guan Zhi, "Lu Huainian, I want to see him and see what is hidden in his gourd?" ”
Lu Huainian didn't directly agree or refute, but just said to her, "Okay, the scar forgot the pain." ”
Although she said so, Lu Huainian personally accompanied Xia Yuan with her the next day.
It is absolutely impossible to let Zhao Qi go to see him alone, this is Lu Huainian's last insistence. Go, you can, but you must be accompanied by him and Xia Yuan.
Through the glass, looking at the face that used to be scared, Zhao Qi suddenly became less scared at this moment, I don't know if it was because of the environment in which this glass was located, or the person standing behind him.
"You're still here?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to see me?"
Guan Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Huainian beside Zhao Qi, and emphasized with a smile: "I'm talking about being alone." ”
"If you don't have anything to tell me, I'm not going to waste my time here." When Zhao Qi looked at Guan Zhi, he noticed that there was a very clear scar on the palm of his right hand, which was very long, and there were several on his fingers, which should be a new injury.
"Zhao Qi, I just want to ask you one thing at the end, did your reports about Zhou Zhou really not add half of the water?"
Zhao Qi sneered, "Since you don't believe me, why are you pretending to ask me?" Since you asked, you must already have the answer in your heart, don't you? ”
Guan Zhi hung his head, as if he was reluctant to speak.
Zhao Qi was not in a hurry, holding his hands to see how he was struggling now. "Guanzhi, I think you should let go of your prejudices and go and see who your brother used to like so much, and see what the person he liked was like. Is she good enough to be worthy of your brother's liking?
You blame Zhou Zhou for all his accidental deaths, is it fair to Zhou Zhou?
Your brother and you are still going to do the so-called justice for him, what about Zhou Zhou? Who is responsible for her death? Who said a word for her! She obviously didn't do anything, when you meet, your brother has an accident, and you should be looking for someone who hit and run on a rainy day, and if you can't find anyone, you will blame Zhou Zhou for everything.
Do you think your brother wants to see someone he likes so much being slandered like this by you?
You've always felt like you're doing the right thing, but which one of you is right? Send photos to threaten Zhou Zhou and her family, or hurt me?
Shut down, if you do something wrong, you have to bear it, this is what you should bear. ”
"Zhao Qi, I didn't want to hurt you, I just wanted to scare you and let you stop helping Zhou Zhou, I was angry with you, annoyed that you helped her, but it wasn't my intention to hurt you, and it was also because your friend suddenly appeared and I ......was nervous for a while."
That knife, Guan Zhi never intended to use it to really hurt Zhao Qi, even when Guan Xi kicked him in the arm from behind, he tried to use half of his palm to try to block the tip of the knife and the blade to hurt Zhao Qi.
But in the end, it didn't help, Zhao Qi was still scratched by the sharp tip of the knife.
At that time, he was really panicked, and then he had to escape.
"I also understand the principle of not persuading others to be kind without others suffering. I don't care or wonder about how you are with others, but for me, I'm sorry for this sentence, I'll wait for you to come out and listen to you tell me in person, this is what you owe me. ”
Before leaving, Zhao Qi left him a piece of paper, on which was the address of Zhou Zhou's cemetery, "Also, I'm sorry for this sentence, I think she will be more necessary than me." ”
Guan Zhi got up from his chair, "Zhao Qi, thank you, I'll go see her." Then, standing in front of her grave, I sincerely said sorry to her.
Before Lu Huainian left, he stared at Guan Xi's palm for a few seconds, and when he raised his eyes, his gaze met with Zhao Qi's. The two looked at each other tacitly, but said nothing.
On the way back, Zhao Qi and Lu Huainian chatted tepidly with each sentence.
She said: "Lu Huainian, don't you think it's actually pitiful? He seems to have been living for his brother, who is gone, and his good future has been blackened because of a misunderstanding. It seems ridiculous to say it, a misunderstanding ruins the future of a person's life, as simple as a joke. ”
Life is such a turning point, winning is always a group of people who are not shocked and don't seem to care at all. The more you care, the easier it is to suffer from gains and losses, and in the end, you are afraid of what will come.
Lu Huainian listened quietly to what she said all the way, and occasionally picked up a sentence or two, but most of the time it was Zhao Qi who was talking, and Lu Huainian was listening.
In Lu Huainian's concept, if he makes a choice, he will have to bear the corresponding consequences.
Everyone has their own fate, and no one can decide.
