The night view of the Maldives is beautiful, even if you sit by the hotel pool and nibble on pizza and watch the moonlight, you will feel very comfortable. Waiters were notified in advance that no one was allowed near the pool, including waiters.

Zhong Qing sat cross-legged on the recliner and yawned lazily.

Gu Xiu turned his head to look at her and said, "You like it here?" ”

"For the past few years, the hotel has been my home, and I know all the operational arrangements and money flows within the hotel, and I open my eyes to the same environment every day." Zhong Qing sighed: "I haven't felt like staying in a hotel on vacation for a long time. ”

Gu Xiu was silent.

Those three years may be memories that he and Zhong Qing don't want to remember anymore like a dream, no one knows that Zhong Qing is alone under huge psychological pressure, supporting the façade of the hotel in a completely unfamiliar country, just like no one knows how much Gu Xiu has endured in the past three years to get to where he is today.

Fortunately, Gu Xiu succeeded, he stood at the top of the business world, with assets of more than nine figures, and his investments all over the world, he was a veritable diamond king.

Now he has achieved a higher status than the four major families back then, and he has gained money and power that he did not have before, but at the cost of losing the most important person.

At this time, if Gu Xiu asked Zhong Qing, "If Xu Ruo hadn't been injured back then, would you have left me" or "If Gu Zihan hadn't kidnapped his mother and threatened you back then, would you have been with me forever", it would seem a little ridiculous.

Everyone has regrets, and everyone has that "if" in their hearts, but reality will never give you a second chance.

So Gu Xiu opened his mouth and said, "In Tianqi." ”

Zhong Qing was stunned: "Did you hear the phone call between me and Xu Ruo?" ”

"Guessed." Gu Xiu leaned back on the recliner and half-squinted his eyes: "No matter what he told you, the fact is that the doctor took the initiative to contact Wei Lan, hoping that he could protect him." ”

Zhong Qing didn't understand: "Protection? "He is the most famous doctor in neurology abroad, and the cured cases are still explained to students in many medical schools as excellent examples, he has never offended people and has not had any negative news, this time he went to City A to save a little girl, how could he suddenly be in danger?

Being kidnapped by Wei Lan is completely different from what Gu Xiu said, neither of them can lie in Zhong Qing's opinion, but there can only be one truth.

"There is a cure for Xu Ruo." Zhong Qing said: "If you can, can you let Xu Ruo receive treatment first?" His leg could not be delayed. ”

"It's not that there can't be delayed, it's that there's no need for them to meet." Gu Xiu handed the documents from the investigation to Zhong Qing, and then put his two hands under the back of his head, he said, "Take a look." ”

Zhong Qing opened the documents, her life history, she had already seen these three years ago when Xu Ruo was treated, his wife died at an early age, leaving a daughter, and now she is also in her twenties.

Zhong Qing continued to flip back, her daughter's information on surgery three years ago, and she frowned after the evidence of the las Vegas gambling debt.

If the doctor was gambling and lost his fortune, how did he pay for his daughter's nearly $1 million surgery?

Zhong Qing gritted her teeth and looked at the time of the doctor's daughter's operation, that day she would never forget - the day when she announced in front of her and Xu Zhiyan that Xu Ruo's leg could not be cured.

What is the connection between the two? Why did Gu Xiu show her this?

"He doesn't have a disability in his leg."

"If he really didn't feel in his legs, his leg muscles would have atrophied in the past three years, instead of being as muscular as he is now."

"Xu Ruo's leg has already recovered."

“……”

“……”

What Gu Xiu said once seemed to hit Zhong Qing's mind like a heavy blow, she couldn't believe it and didn't want to believe it, just Gu Xiu's document couldn't explain anything at all.

"Xu Ruo gave the doctor 10 million in cash." Gu Xiu spoke after Zhong Qing closed the information: "There is only this matter, there is no written evidence. ”

Zhong Qing was in a trance for a long time before she found her voice: "Impossible! Why did Xu Ruo do this? His leg was crippled by Gu Zihan at that time, and I saw it with my own eyes. If he wants to buy off doctors, why should he let doctors prescribe a diagnosis that he can't cure? Why did he do that! ”

When a normal person learns that he may be cured, he should be cured at all costs, how could Xu Ruo buy an extremely ridiculous lie with 10 million cash?

Gu Xiu didn't speak, just turned his head to look at Zhong Qing, who was in doubt and puzzlement, until she looked at Gu Xiu and suddenly realized the reason why Xu Ruo might do so.

Zhong Qing stood up "Teng", her breathing was unsteady: "Impossible!" Xu Ruo will not be because I have been in a wheelchair for two years! How could he be so stupid......"

"Since you have also thought of this possibility, it means that this thing may happen." Gu Xiu looked at Zhong Qing's pale face, she didn't realize how much Xu Ruo liked her, she liked it enough to make up big lies, in fact, this kind of Xu Ruo was the most terrifying.

Zhong Qing swallowed her saliva and felt the cells in her body burst.

"I want to go back home."

Gu Xiu had already anticipated her decision, and said, "I have already bought my ticket, and it will be twelve o'clock at noon tomorrow." ”

Zhong Qing had mixed feelings with the ticket, she wanted to leave, but she stood still.

"Why are you looking into this?"

"Because I want to know the truth." What's more, he didn't want to see Zhong Qing being deceived by Xu Ruo, so he had to stay by his side, she had been gone for three years, if she didn't see Xu Ruo's true face thoroughly, her guilt towards Xu Ruo might still be used by Xu Ruo.

Zhong Qing's hand holding the ticket trembled slightly, and the evening breeze blew on her face, and she actually felt cold to the bone.

The words he wanted to say stayed in his mouth, Zhong Qing turned around and left the pool, Gu Xiu looked up at the moonlight, his eyes were deeper than the night in the Maldives.

At half past eleven o'clock the next day, Zhong Qing got on the plane that flew back to China alone, and Gu Xiu was still in the Maldives, as he said, he was going to continue his vacation.

At five o'clock in the evening in City A, Zhong Qing appeared at the door of the Xu family's villa with his suitcase, and the housekeeper went in to report to Xu Jie, and Fang Zuo, who saw Zhong Qing's figure, notified Xu Ruo as quickly as possible.

"Mr. Xu! Miss Zhong is here! ”

Xu Ruo was reading a book, and when he heard this, he took off his glasses and said, "Push me downstairs." ”

At the door of the villa, the housekeeper euphemistically expressed to Zhong Qing that Xu Jie didn't want to see her, and Zhong Qing wanted to explain something, so he saw Fang Zuo pushing Xu Ruo out.

"Let's go to the garden and sit down." Xu Ruo looked at Zhong Qing with a smile, with the unfinished book on his lap, and he said to the housekeeper, "Uncle Li, help us make a cup of tea." ”

The housekeeper was a little embarrassed, Xu Jie's attitude was very resolute just now, since he broke off the relationship with the other three families, Xu Jie did not allow his own people to have any contact with them, especially Zhong Qing, although she did not directly hurt Xu Ruo, Xu Ruo was because she was injured.

"Young Master......"

Xu Ruo was unmoved, and directly brought Zhong Qing into the door.

Exactly the same as Xu Ruo in Zhong Qing's memory, this man who was in a wheelchair and needed someone to take care of him, would never have thought that his legs were healthy, Zhong Qing sat on a chair in the garden, and unconsciously looked at Xu Ruo's legs, but Xu Ruo's legs were covered with blankets, and there was a book on the blanket, and Zhong Qing couldn't see anything.

"Why did you suddenly return home?"

Zhong Qing heard Xu Ruo's voice, came back to her senses, and said, "I was a little worried when I heard what you said on the phone, has the doctor found it now?" ”

"Not yet." Xu Ruo said in frustration: "Maybe God doesn't want me to recover, doesn't want me to stand up again." ”

"No, it won't!" Zhong Qing said: "If we can't find him, we can go to another doctor, or we can try acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine, there will always be a way to cure your leg." ”

Zhong Qing's seriousness didn't move Xu Ruo in any way, he even wondered, Zhong Qing was so eager to heal his leg, did he want to leave him as soon as possible? They are just friends until now, except for these crippled legs, Xu Ruo has no reason to leave Zhong Qing behind.

"Zhong Qing." Xu Ruo looked up at her, affectionate and serious: "I know that you have blamed yourself for these legs for three years, but I don't blame you, I would rather you treat me like you did before, and I don't want you to stay by my side with guilt." ”

Zhong Qing had nothing to say.

Gu Xiu's words still echoed clearly in his mind, but when Zhong Qing looked at Xu Ruo's gentle face, those words could not be asked. She didn't want to doubt Xu Ruo, but when there was sufficient evidence in front of her, how should she choose?

"I want to stand up for only one purpose, because I want to pursue you as a normal person, I know that in your heart you don't feel that way for me, but I also said that I am willing to wait."

Knowing that there is no result, he is willing to be the moth that fights the fire, he is willing to sacrifice everything, and he has no regrets.

"I don't deserve your affection." Zhong Qing lowered her head, she couldn't respond to Xu Ruo's feelings, even if it was because of sympathy or guilt.

Xu Ruo smiled: "No, you are the most worthy." ”

Xu Ruo will never forget the day when the two met for the first time more than 20 years ago, Xu Ruo hid behind Xu Zhiyan and looked at Zhong Qing timidly, the latter raised a big smile, although a front tooth was missing, it did not affect her smile at all.

"Hello Xu Ruo! My name is Zhong Qing! Let's be friends from now on! The little Zhong Qing stretched out his fleshy hand and pulled Xu Ruo out from behind Xu Zhiyan, Xu Ruo looked at Zhong Qing in front of him embarrassedly dressed like a little princess, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
