Chapter 348: Returning Home
Tong Lu frowned slightly, the villa was too quiet, and there were usually workers in the garden to sprinkle and sweep, but now no one could see it.
Gu Chuan took out the key prepared in advance to open the door, Tong Lu was a little strange, "How can you have the key to her house?" ”
Gu Chuan didn't answer, he didn't trust Tong Manli very much before, so during the period of living in Tong Manli's house, he got the key to the gate, took the time to match an identical one, and returned the key to the gate when he returned to China, but he still had one in his hand, as long as Tong Manli didn't change the lock, he could open the door and go in.
Tong Lu didn't dwell on this kind of trivial matter, she wanted to find Tong Manli as soon as possible, so that she could ask the reason.
The villa was empty, and the surrounding scenery was still familiar, but no one had lived there. Tong Lu searched all the rooms, but she never found Tong Manli, she was a little discouraged.
"She's gone." Gu Chuan spoke.
Tong Lu didn't know if Tong Manli had been prepared for a long time, or if she knew about the incident at the east window, so she left quickly.
"Let's go to her room and see if there are any other clues." Tong Lu stood up, even if she couldn't find Tong Manli, it would be of great help to her if she could find something related to her, and maybe she could follow the clues to find where Tong Manli might go.
Tong Manli's room was closed, Tong Lu gritted her teeth slightly, and tried to knock the door open with her body, but her little strength was pitiful, and she didn't hit it open after trying a few times, but it hurt herself. Gu Chuan shook his head, he raised his foot and kicked open the door, Tong Lu was a little embarrassed, why is there such a big difference between this person and people?
The room was always messy, and I don't know if Tong Manli didn't clean up after she was discharged from the hospital, or if Tong Manli never came back at all. Tong Lu tries to find clues in this pile of clutter, but many of them are daily necessities that do not help her. Suddenly, she saw a document in the deepest part of the cabinet, and her instincts told her that it contained contents. Tong Lu flipped out the document and saw a few big words on it, her brows furrowed slightly, this turned out to be a cancer diagnosis certificate.
There is no name written on it, I don't know whose it is, maybe Tong Manli left in too much hurry and forgot to take it away.
Tong Lu felt a little heavy in her heart, this document appeared here, and it was difficult to guarantee that it was not Tong Manli's.
Could it be that Tong Manli hid her illness from her? Or did Tong Manli have other secrets that she hadn't told her? Tong Lu felt that her brain was in a mess, and she tried not to think about it so complicated. Gu Chuan took the diagnosis from her hand and read it with a calm face.
"Gu Chuan, what do you think?"
Tong Lu didn't know the bottom in her heart, she thought to herself that maybe Gu Chuan would have a different opinion.
"I don't look at it much, only when I find her in person will I know if it's true."
Gu Chuan didn't believe any of the information left by Tong Manli, Tong Manli had been setting up a situation from the beginning, she was a scheming woman.
Such a woman actually omitted such important information, Gu Chuan didn't dare to guarantee whether it was intentional or unintentional.
Tong Lu pressed her doubts back, she threw away the file, bent down and continued to search, "I'll see if there are any other findings." ”
It wasn't until the evening that Tong Lu and Gu Chuan came out of the villa, and apart from that document, Tong Lu didn't find any other important clues. Maybe Tong Manli is really a shrewd woman, and no superfluous information will be left.
At this time, Tong Lu's mobile phone rang suddenly, and Tong Lu absentmindedly pressed answer.
"Tong Lu, the things you asked me to investigate a few days ago have already had results." Xiao Boming's gentle voice came from the phone.
Tong Lu suddenly came to his senses, "What news, tell me quickly!" ”
After learning that Tong Manli was sinister and cunning, Tong Lu couldn't wait to know more news related to Tong Manli, even if it was insignificant, she wanted to know more about this woman.
"Her identity is very suspicious, she was kicked out of the house by the Tong family a long time ago, and she has only met your father a few times, although the reason for being kicked out of the Tong family is not yet known, but she must have done something wrong and angered the Tong family, so she was cut off by the Tong family." According to Xiao Boming's understanding, the Tong family is not a strict family, but Tong Manli was kicked out, which shows how wrong Tong Manli was.
"I see...... In other words, she doesn't have much affection for my father and the Tong family......" Tong Lu seemed to be hit and subconsciously gritted her teeth, "But when she first saw me, she showed that kind of longing for family affection, were they all pretended?" ”
Tong Lu can't see through Tong Manli's personality anymore......
A woman acted so brilliantly, treating her as the closest person, and it seemed that she was thinking about her everywhere, but it turned out that all this was fake, and Tong Manli set up a situation by herself......
Tong Lu's strength was drained, and she sat on the side of the road weakly, "I understand, Xiao Boming, thank you, this time the matter is troublesome to you again." ”
"You and I don't need to say thank you, if you have any problems in the future, just look for me." Xiao Boming sighed lightly.
After hanging up the phone, Tong Lu was a little depressed, and even forgot that Gu Chuan was still by her side, until she was embraced by a pair of warm and powerful big hands, she suddenly woke up, it turned out that she had ignored him.
Gu Chuan hugged her tightly, "Tong Lu, I will be your family in the future, Tong Manli, since she is using you, I will make her pay." ”
Tong Lu's feelings for Tong Manli in her heart can be said to be very complicated, she resents her for deceiving herself and hurting her children, but she also wants to know why she does this, and whether there is any hardship.
But no matter what, she won't forgive Tong Manli!
"I won't let that woman get any closer to you in the future." Gu Chuan was extremely serious, and there seemed to be a hint of ruthlessness in his tone, "Even if you complain about me, I won't watch her hurt you!" ”
Tong Lu gently held Gu Chuan's hand, "I'm fine......
"Let's go home!" Gu Chuan suddenly spoke, "I've been here for too long, and the new drama in Dream World is also waiting for you to start filming." ”
Tong Lu suddenly remembered the script she created, and she had been disturbed by these messy things these days, and she had thrown it into the back of her mind.
"Okay, go home!" This place makes her feel very comfortable, it is not easy in the country, Tong Manli's matter is obviously useless to be sad and confused, she plans to shift her focus, put her energy to work, and let herself forget these things quickly.
The only pity is that Tong Shuangshuang has not come out of that incident, after Tong Lu's efforts these days, Tong Shuangshuang is no longer so resistant to Tong Lu, Tong Lu believes that he pays more attention and care to her on weekdays, and Tong Shuangshuang will accept her sooner or later.
The supporting role of the new movie has been selected, but the choice of the protagonist has not been decided for a long time, and this matter will not be filmed until Tong Lu returns to China. The next night, Tong Lu's family of four appeared in the airport and breathed the warm domestic air again, which made Tong Lu feel warm for a long time.
Tong Shuangshuang's face also seemed to be much better, leaving the place that frightened her and returning to her familiar home, she gradually became less introverted.
That's a good start...... Tong Lu thought to herself.
The next day, Tong Lu got up early in the morning, made a loving breakfast for Tong Shuangshuang, and after cooking, came to her bedside, looking at her daughter's quiet sleeping face, Tong Lu couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek, and then left the house.
Xiao Hong waited in the company early in the morning, she received the news of Tong Lu's return to China last night, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, just because of Tong Lu's delay, two investors terminated the contract and decided not to invest funds again, in the face of these losses, Xiao Hong was also very helpless.
She was worried that if Tong Lu didn't come back, the remaining investors would have to terminate the contract, and it would not be something she could cope with at that time.
"My aunt, you're finally back." Xiao Hong couldn't help but complain, "I said that you shouldn't have gone to Tong Manli's house in the first place, so many messy things wouldn't have happened, and now that the child is back safely, you can also focus on work." ”
"You're even more nagging than my mom." Tong Lu rolled her eyes silently.
"See for yourself, this is not my nagging, this is the reality in front of you." Xiao Hong threw the two termination letters on the table in front of Tong Lu.
Tong Lu frowned slightly, and quickly let go again.
"Don't worry, there will be investors."
"You're so confident."
Xiao Hong was speechless, she also hoped that someone would take the initiative to send it to the door.
"Mr. Tong, Mr. Zhou Jingran and Mr. Zhou want to see you." The assistant knocked on the office door.
"He's coming." Tong Lu smiled slightly, "I forgot to tell you, I have already attracted a new investor, Zhou Jingran." ”
Zhou Jingran was very generous, and just as some investors withdrew, Tong Lu couldn't refuse, she always had to maintain the normal shooting of the movie, so she agreed......
Xiao Hong gave a thumbs up, "Amazing." ”
Not long after, Zhou Jingran stepped into the office, he was wearing a black suit, looking steady and charming.
"Tong Lu, long time no see." Zhou Jingran smiled, with a hint of frivolity hidden in his eyes, "I heard that you are going to cast a new movie today, I don't know if I have the honor to watch it." ”
"You are too polite, as an investor, of course you have this qualification." Tong Lu knew that Zhou Jingran was only humble on the surface, but in fact it was unfathomable.
"That's good, by the way, let's have a meal together at noon, right?" Zhou Jingran has to inch in.
Tong Lu smiled slightly, "Okay, Xiao Hong can also eat together, she is also one of the people in charge of this new movie." ”
Tong Lu is not stupid, of course she will not eat alone with Zhou Jingran.
Zhou Jingran smiled dryly and did not object.
There are a lot of people competing for the protagonist, Tong Lu thinks a few are good, and was about to speak, but Zhou Jingran next to him took the lead, "Are you here to sing?" ”
Tong Lu was a little puzzled.
