When he was on the plane, Lu Haochen kept thinking, did he go to G City for his father's business, or did he use this incident as an excuse to see Du Xiaoxian?

On New Year's Day, I met Du Xiaoxian at Du Huayue's wedding, and I just said hello briefly, and there was no chance to speak.

It was completely different from the time when she went to G City to find her, there seemed to be a smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, like a spring breeze, and Gu Nianbin's appearance was not like acting, her earnest gaze did not leave her face for a moment, and anyone could feel a strong love.

Du Huayue is right, they are really reconciled.

That day he told himself that as long as she was happy, he would be at ease. From then on, he sealed her in his heart and lived her life well. But when I returned home, I sat in a daze for a night, still frustrated, melancholy, and reluctant to let go.

The moment he knew that his father's affairs were related to the Gu family, he almost had a hint of secret joy, because he could see her justifiably.

After leaving the airport, he called a car and went straight to Gu's house, the car was speeding at the airport, and his heart was soaring, and he was finally going to see her!

Is she okay? Is it warm or indifferent to see him? But I'll never call him by name again, will I? On New Year's Day, she called him Mr. Lu.

Along the way, his emotions were always a little inexplicably repetitive, one moment he couldn't wait to see her, and the other moment he thought about the scene of her and Gu Nianbin's affection. The two emotions alternated from time to time, and as he got closer to Gu's house, he became nervous, and his palms were full of sweat in the cold winter.

When I arrived at Gu's house, I rang the doorbell but no one answered. He pressed it a few more times, but there was still no response, he knew that the Gu family did not welcome him, but he was also a wealthy family, and there was no reason to close the door and not see customers, even if he really didn't want him to go in, just send the maid out to say something.

Lu Haochen felt strange, he inquired nearby, and then he learned that the people of the Gu family had gone to the ancestral house, and only the young master and grandmother of the Gu family lived here.

Du Xiaoxian did not marry Gu Nianbin, but the news of their marriage was published in the newspaper every day, so it was not surprising that the neighbors called Du Xiaoxian a young grandmother.

The wedding date has been set, not long after the year, by then, Du Xiaoxian will be the justifiable young grandmother of the Gu family, and the end of the world between him and her will never be able to cross again!

Do you pretend not to know and continue to wait here to see Du Xiaoxian, or go to the Gu family's ancestral house to see Gu Guangxian? This suddenly became a problem for Lu Haochen!

He stood outside the iron gate of the Gu family and smoked a cigarette, the cold wind blew on his face, blowing on his face with a stinging pain, his eyes were gloomy as if it was about to rain, and finally shook the cigarette butt, pressed it with his feet, and resolutely turned around and left.

He felt that he was a little ridiculous, it was obviously a foregone conclusion, what was the use of meeting again, it was just adding sadness!

That's it, even if he is destined to be lonely for the rest of his life, as long as she is happy, this is the only thing that makes him happy in all his thoughts.

On the road again, rush to the Gu family's ancestral home. He had investigated the Gu family before and knew that the ancestral house was in Fenglei Town, which was more than a hundred kilometers away from G City.

Sitting in the car, he didn't feel excited anymore, and looked at the big trees and rice fields flying by outside the window with suspicious eyes, but he thought in his heart, how to speak when he saw Gu Guangxian's face?

In the past, his father has been reluctant to tell him, he is not sure that Gu Guangxian will tell him, but this is related to his father's body, if he doesn't untie this knot, if there is a next time, his father's life is worried.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived in Fenglei Town, and he was hungry and asked for a bowl of beef noodles for lunch at a roadside noodle shop.

This shop is very small, but it is clean and tidy, and the taste of the noodles is especially good, which reminds him of the beef noodles cooked by Du Xiaoxian, which are fragrant and delicious, and when he eats them for the first time, his heart is trembling with happiness!

It's a pity that the past is like smoke, and one day it will be blown clean by the wind of the years, and at that time, he will never remember the taste of that bowl of beef noodles again.

Until the little boss asked him if he could put away the dishes? Lu Haochen came back to his senses, raised his hand to look at the time, and was secretly surprised, it was already three o'clock, and this bowl of noodles had been eaten for a long time!

Fenglei Town is not big, everyone knows the Gu family's ancestral house, and it is not difficult to find it by pointing it out to him all the way.

It was originally a cloudy day, but at this time, he saw the shadow of the sun, Lu Haochen walked all the way slowly, enjoying this rare warm winter sun, and then saw the high lintel, on which were written two gilded characters: Gu Zhai.

Just looking at the courtyard, you can imagine the scenery of the Gu family, with high lintels, gilded characters, two majestic lions standing at the door, and the straight pines and cypresses are lush.

Although it is an old-fashioned house, it is equipped with the latest video doorbell. Lu Haochen rang the doorbell, then stood on the side with his hands down, and sure enough, there was a quick response.

"Mr. Lu, hello." The respectful voice made Lu Haochen guess who the person who answered at once, if he remembered correctly, it should be the housekeeper Xiao Bonian.

It is recorded in the information that Xiao Bonian's father is the old housekeeper of the Gu family, he can be said to have grown up in the Gu family since he was a child, and he knows the situation of the Gu family well. Lu Haochen felt that Xiao Bonian would know a little bit about what happened back then, and if Gu Guangxian didn't want to say anything, Xiao Bonian should be a good entry point.

The door opened, and Lu Haochen strode in. Xiao Bonian greeted him under the corridor: "Mr. Lu, you are here to find the young master, right?" He's not here. ”

"I'm not looking for Gu Nianbin," Lu Haochen said with a smile: "I'm looking for your master." I don't know if Mr. Gu can see me conveniently? ”

A hint of surprise flashed on Xiao Bonian's face, but he quickly looked calm: "Mr. Lu, please sit in the room, and I'll go and inform the master." ”

Lu Haochen entered the house, he came to this kind of mansion for the first time, but it was a little novel, although the house was old, but the carved railings and paintings were exquisite and elegant, showing the traces of time everywhere, and there was a sense of historical precipitation. It makes you feel like you've gone back to the old days.

Lu Haochen sat on the mahogany chair and looked at the Bogu frame on the wall with great interest, not to mention the antique porcelain on the shelf, this Bogu frame alone is very old, and the black lacquer surface looks warm and shiny.

The maid served tea, which was a good cloud before the rain, and the faint fragrance hit the nose, which made people feel refreshed.

Sitting in such an old house, drinking cloud tea, and letting the time go by, can be regarded as a kind of enjoyment.

After a while, Xiao Bonian came over to invite him: "Mr. Lu, the master invites you to talk in the room." ”

Lu Haochen nodded slightly, and followed him to the wing room, the corridor was tortuous, like a labyrinth, he suddenly remembered and asked, "Steward Xiao, where is your wife?" ”

Xiao Bonian replied with a smile: "Madame is doing her homework in the Buddhist hall, if Mr. Lu wants to see him, I am afraid that I will have to wait a little longer, and Madame will not come out if she does not finish her homework." ”

"No, I'm just asking."

While speaking, he had already arrived at the door of Gu Guangxian's room, and Xiao Bonian knocked on the door: "Master, Mr. Lu is here." ”

"Ask him to come in." Gu Guangxian's voice was a little lacking in qi, and he knew that his health was not very good when he heard it.

Xiao Bonian pushed open the door, let Lu Haochen in, and closed the door gently.

Gu Guangxian's room was warmer than other places, and Lu Haochen noticed it as soon as he entered, and reached out to unbutton his coat.

Gu Guangxian smiled and invited him to sit down, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu came from afar, I should have gone out to meet guests, but I don't have to stay in the warm pavilion without being cold." Forgive me, forgive me! ”

"Mr. Gu is too polite, I am a junior, so naturally I should come to see you." Lu Haochen coped with it decently, and he really looked like a junior. In fact, if his father hadn't fallen out with Gu Guangxian, he should have called Gu Guangxian a teacher.

"I don't know what happened to Mr. Lu coming all the way to visit?"

Lu Haochen didn't go around in circles: "Mr. Gu must be very familiar with the name Lu Dingshen, he is my father." ”

Gu Guangxian was not very surprised, and looked at him: "It turns out that you are really Lu Dingshen's son." In fact, I was suspicious the last time you came, although you don't look like him, but your words and deeds, and the way you speak, are really a little similar, is your father okay? ”

"It's not good," Lu Haochen said, "Did you call my father yesterday, and then my father came back again?" ”

"There's this."

"Because of these two phone calls, my father passed out twice in a row and now has a stroke. Lying in the hospital. Lu Haochen said: "I just want to know, what did you tell my father?" Let him be so excited that his cerebral blood vessels are ruptured! ”

Gu Guangxian was taken aback: "Lu Dingshen had a stroke?" Is it serious? ”

"I survived this time, but next time it's hard to say." Lu Haochen said sincerely: "It stands to reason that I should call you Shibo, please tell me, what is it that stimulates my father?" You've been out of friends for more than 20 years, why did you call him all of a sudden? ”

Gu Guangxian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is your father still sober?" Can you speak? ”

"I called back at noon, and he had just woken up, but he didn't want to speak."

Gu Guangxian pondered for a moment, "I don't know whether I should tell you about this matter, because it involves your father's privacy, although I haven't been in touch with your father for more than 20 years, I don't want to expose his privacy casually, so if you want to know, it's best to ask your father." ”

"It's not wrong for you to do this," Lu Haochen looked at him earnestly: "But I don't dare to stimulate him anymore, I don't dare to say a word in front of him, the doctor said that if he faints again, he may never wake up again, I don't dare to take this risk." So I can only come to you, I want to know the cause of his illness, so that maybe I can avoid another time. ”

Gu Guangxian nodded approvingly: "Lu Dingshen has such a good son as you, it's his blessing!" But this time the matter is not trivial, and it is also related to your mother, I think it is better for Lu Dingshen to tell you in person, but what you said also has a certain truth, he is very emotionally unstable now, and it is really not appropriate to mention that incident again. ”

"Thank you Shibo can understand," Lu Haochen said, "But if I have a little way, I won't come to trouble Shibo." ”

Gu Guangxian was silent for a while, and said, "Can I trust you?" ”

"Of course," Lu Haochen looked at him very calmly: "I am Lu Dingshen's son, and I will only do it for his good." ”

"I hope that no one else knows about this except you, let alone your mother."

"Okay, I promise."
