Chapter 227: The Gu Family Is Disgraced
"I have also learned about this matter, and we are still investigating the specific situation, but please believe that Mr. Tong must be innocent." Xiao Hong patiently explained, hung up the phone directly after speaking, and finally turned off the phone.
She really didn't have the patience to explain to so many people one by one, she drank too much last night, she had a splitting headache this morning, and she was woken up by someone, otherwise she wouldn't have known that such a big thing had happened.
"I don't see you're in very good shape, I'll send you home first." Xiao Hong looked at Tong Lu's pale face with some distress.
Tong Lu nodded, Xiao Hong served as the driver, and sent her to the front of the house half an hour later.
"You don't have to worry too much about this matter, so many winds and waves have survived, no matter which evil villain is behind it this time, we will definitely not be defeated by him." Xiao Hong patted her shoulder encouragingly, and then drove away.
Tong Lu knew in her heart that it was not so easy to clear the suspicion, she could only ask Xiao Hong to send someone to investigate this matter now, and only when the truth and results were there could she release it in front of the public, otherwise it would be futile to say anything now.
When she returned home, she immediately felt a depressing atmosphere blowing over her face.
"Coming back?" Gu Xia's yin and yang weird voice sounded, like a ghost, almost startling Tong Lu. Gu Xia said angrily, "Am I scary, you did something wrong, and your heart is weak." ”
Tong Lu was so upset that she didn't want to pay attention to her, walked into the living room, and happened to see Old Man Gu...... No, to be precise, Old Man Gu deliberately sat here waiting for her.
"What's going on!" Old Man Gu threw a newspaper on Tong Lu's body.
The strength is not heavy, but it contains a strong anger.
Tong Lu picked up the newspaper in fright, and sure enough...... It's the news that broke out this morning!
"It's a misunderstanding, I can't do that." Tong Lu immediately explained.
"Is the video fake? Can these journalists slander you casually? Old Man Gu didn't believe Tong Lu's defense at all, his eyes were cold and full of disdain and disgust.
Once Gu Chuan insisted on choosing Tong Lu, he reluctantly admitted it, and now Tong Lu has made this kind of thing again, not only losing Tong Lu's own reputation, but also losing the face of their Gu family!
They can't afford to lose this person!
Old Man Gu is a person who values face very much, and he can't tolerate a woman with bad deeds to continue to stay in the Gu family!
"This is slander! Someone is framing me behind my back, how could I do that kind of thing, I'm not stupid, I won't bet on my future and career. Tong Lu felt that such a smart person as Old Man Gu should be able to see the truth behind this scene.
"I believe in you, is it useful, will people outside believe you, will they believe in the Gu family!" Old Man Gu said indifferently and meanly, "The Gu family wants face, Gu Chuan also wants face, and you challenge the bottom line of the Gu family again and again, and the Gu family can't tolerate you!" ”
Tong Lu gritted her teeth and clenched her fingers tightly, she knew that the Gu family was completely humiliated because of this incident, but how innocent she was, she didn't do anything, she was detained in such a black cauldron, wasn't she wronged? Old Man Gu must have been very disappointed in her......
"Grandpa, I ......"
"I don't want to listen to your explanation, now while the two children don't know what you committed, go by yourself, I won't take the initiative to mention this matter to the children, I'll save you the last bit of face." Old Man Gu's attitude was extremely resolute.
Tong Lu doesn't want this ethereal face, she just wants to be with her children. She suppressed the uneasiness that surged up in her heart, and looked at Old Man Gu seriously, "What if I can prove that I haven't done this?" ”
Old Man Gu didn't answer her again, and Tong Lu gradually understood that the turning point in this matter was whether she could clear her suspicions. Tong Lu didn't insist anymore, turned around and left the Gu family. Her current state is not good, she is really not suitable to see the children, she left the Gu family, she went directly to Xiao Hong's house.
Xiao Hong was still quite surprised to see her, and later heard her say about Old Man Gu, she looked angry and helpless, "The Gu family is too unkind, you are obviously innocent." ”
Xiao Hong put her hand on her shoulder, her knuckles tightened slightly.
"I can actually understand the old man's feelings, his attitude towards me is complicated, and he finally accepted me in front of Gu Chuan, now my reputation is damaged, and the stock price of Gu Chuan's company will fluctuate, as long as I don't divorce Gu Chuan for a day, the Gu family will be affected." After saying this, Tong Lu sighed slightly, her beautiful face was dyed with a layer of melancholy, and the hair in her ears was slightly messy and scattered in her ears, "He didn't force me to divorce Gu Chuan immediately, but asked me to leave the Gu family, maybe this matter has not reached the point of no return." ”
Old Man Gu's approach was ruthless, but Tong Lu couldn't accuse him, Old Man Gu was thinking from the perspective of the entire Gu family, not just for her.
On the other side, in the Gu family's old house, Tong Shuangshuang and Gu Niantong came back from school, and the two children probed their brains and didn't see Tong Lu, and the two of them invariably showed a touch of disappointment.
"Grandpa, where's Mommy?" Tong Shuangshuang walked over and lay on Old Man Gu's lap.
Tong Shuangshuang's white and tender face was faintly ruddy, and a pair of clear eyes were like black grapes, staring at Old Man Gu without blinking, and Old Man Gu's heart melted.
"Grandpa, are you still angry with Mommy?" Tong Shuangshuang showed an aggrieved expression, and her mouth flattened, "Grandpa, don't be angry, okay." ”
Looking at the little cute baby in front of him with an expression of almost crying, Old Man Gu's cold heart gradually melted, and he hugged Tong Shuangshuang, "Grandpa is not angry." ”
Old man Gu is more traditional in his thinking and likes boys, when he only had Gu Niantong before, he was full of love for Gu Niantong, but now that he has Tong Shuangshuang, he is a little cold to Gu Niantong, the grandson.
Boys are not as pleasing as girls, especially a cute girl like Tong Shuangshuang, even the most cold people will be moved by her.
"I miss Mommy." Tong Shuang's eyes gradually moistened, although she was small, she was not stupid, she heard more or less the rumors outside, especially the things that Old Man Gu had thrown his face at Tong Lu in the past few days, she could know some from the nanny.
"Don't cry." Old man Gu doesn't coax children, seeing that Tong Shuangshuang is about to cry, he is a little helpless, an old man who is rigid and serious all the year round, is actually at a loss in front of a little girl.
Tong Lu didn't stay with Xiao Hong for long, Gu Chuan's call came in, Tong Lu hesitated for a while, and said, "That incident on the Internet ......"
"I know, you haven't done it." Gu Chuan directly interrupted her explanation, he thought that there was no need to explain to each other, no matter what Tong Lu did, he would believe Tong Lu.
Tong Lu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
"I heard from my family that grandpa kicked you out, where are you, I'll pick you up."
Tong Lu didn't plan to go back, and she didn't want to make Gu Chuan and Old Man Gu unhappy, "Take care of them, I don't want to go back for the time being." ”
Gu Chuan was silent for a while before speaking again, "I will buy a villa by the river, and you can go and live in it at any time under your name." ”
A faint smile bloomed at the corner of Tong Lu's mouth, "Okay." ”
Tong Lu thought to herself, it is not a way to always rely on Xiao Hong, she plans to move the house by the river the next day, and let people go over to clean it today.
After making the call, seeing Xiao Hong standing in front of her with a solemn face, Tong Lu showed a look of surprise, "Why do you have such a face?" ”
"There's one person who makes me suspicious." Xiao Hong connected the whole thing back together and found that one person was missing. Since this incident, this person has not had any information, as if the world has evaporated. The last person Tong Lu saw last night was Linda, and it was supposed that Linda brought Tong Lu into the hotel to rest, but why did that kind of video circulate later?
"Who?"
"Linda."
Tong Lu was silent for a while, she decided to call Linda to ask, and after a few seconds, she became more and more uneasy in her heart, Linda's mobile phone turned out to be ...... Empty number!
This phone call could still be reached a few days ago, but today it is an empty number, and it is difficult for Tong Lu not to be suspicious.
"There must be something wrong with this Linda!" Xiao Hong, with her many years of work experience and keen sense of smell, believes that Linda must have played some role in this whole thing.
"Linda was introduced to me by Gu Changkong, Gu Changkong is Gu Chuan's brother, he can't harm me, right?" Tong Lu shook his head, there was no evidence, and it was a bit too hasty to rashly evaluate a person.
"Gu Changkong really has no reason to harm you, I have met him a few times, he looks harmless to humans and animals, not like a scheming person. Why don't we ask him out and ask him? ”
Tong Lu thought to herself, there is only this way, this matter is not a joke, and now Linda cannot be contacted, so she can only get Linda's information through Gu Changkong.
It was easy to make an appointment with Gu Changkong, Gu Changkong happened to be fine, and the few of them met in a café an hour later.
"Tong Lu, are you in such a hurry to find me?" Gu Changkong is still gentle, he is wearing a white suit today, he looks tall and straight, exuding a temperament as warm as jade. There is tenderness between his eyebrows and eyes, and a shallow smile, which makes it impossible to find fault with him, and it is impossible to associate him with a wicked person.
"I want to know about Linda." Tong Lu rubbed the edge of the coffee cup, her eyes lowered slightly, "I don't doubt you, but I can't contact Linda, I suspect ......"
"Do you suspect this has something to do with Linda?" Gu Changkong said her unspeakable words, which made Tong Lu breathe a sigh of relief.
Gu Changkong understood what she meant.
"I'm embattled now, so I have to interrogate all the suspicious people around me, I know it's quite unsympathetic, but I really have no other choice." Tong Lu sighed, now that she is in this embarrassing situation, where is there a more elegant way to deal with it, she can only find a way to find out the murderer behind the scenes.
