Zhong Qing sat in Gu Xiu's office, the familiar layout was familiar with the smell, and all the items were placed as they were on the day Gu Xiu left. Zhong Qing sat in his chair, feeling his loneliness.

"Miss Zhong, the weekly review materials of each department have been prepared according to your instructions, and there will be a transnational video conference soon, and the other party is already online."

Zhong Qing patted her face to keep herself calm, then raised a standard smile in the mirror and said, "Take it in." ”

The meeting lasted from the afternoon to the evening, Zhong Qing did not eat a mouthful of food or drink, she was like a robot that could not feel hunger, and only non-stop work could temporarily paralyze her nerves.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhong Qing, who finally finished her work, walked out of the Y-ing Group building, Du Qunyu and Wei Bai opened the door for her, and the car was already parked at the door, but the careful Du Qunyu keenly found that the driver standing by the door was not a familiar face.

If you look closely, although the car is the same style, the license plate is not owned by Y-ing Group.

The driver opened the back seat door, and a slender leg stepped out first, Du Qunyu immediately blocked in front of Zhong Qing after seeing who was coming, and Wei Bai also looked at him vigilantly.

Zhong Qing looked at Gu Zihan expressionlessly, only to see him walk straight in front of Du Qunyu, and then crossed over to Zhong Qing and said, "Can I invite you to a meal?" ”

Gu Zihan's facial features were unexpectedly soft in the moonlight, and Du Qunyu wanted to refuse for Zhong Qing, but the latter patted him on the back and motioned for him to let him speak first.

"I guess you have something to ask me, right?"

Zhong Qing took a deep breath, her nerves were tense, and the hand on her side unconsciously clenched her fist.

Gu Zihan is right, she has a lot of questions that have not been solved, and the only person who may answer her questions at present is the man in front of her who she least wants to face.

If Gu Xiu was here, he would definitely not let Zhong Qing and Gu Zihan meet, but now it was Gu Xiu who had an accident, and Zhong Qing had no other way but to choose to compromise with Gu Zihan.

In the elegant western restaurant, there is a slow and beautiful piano music, this is the place that Gu Zihan is most likely to like after comparing many homes to Zhong Qing, and even the pianist is the best in the local area that he invited. All the ingredients were the freshest, and Gu Zihan prepared everything for Zhong Qing, even though she had no intention of enjoying it at all.

"Where is Gu Xiu?"

Facing a table of exquisite dishes, Zhong Qing didn't have the heart to move the knife and fork at all, she sat down and went straight to the point, her eyes revealed an uneasiness that was difficult to hide, Gu Zihan saw it and was very distressed.

"I don't know." Gu Zihan spoke: "But I know that now that Wei Lan has joined Wei Qiushan's forces, a week later, Wei Qiushan will announce Wei Lan's identity at the company meeting. ”

Zhong Qing retorted without thinking about it: "Impossible, how could Wei Lan ......"

"You guys are so naïve." Gu Zi laughed coldly and said, "Do you really think that you can bring down Wei Qiushan with one Gu Xiu?" Wei Lan went to find Wei Qiushan alone, and when he admitted that he was Wei Qiushan's son, Wei Qiushan decided not to let him go. We're just pawns used by Wei Qiushan......"

Zhong Qing's hand tugged at the corner of her clothes uneasily, but on the surface, she was still calm and calm in the face of Gu Zihan. Although she had already thought of many possibilities in her heart, just like Du Qunyu said, maybe there was no news from Gu Xiu now, which would be the best news for them.

Gu Zihan took out a stack of photos, but for some reason, Zhong Qing stared at the envelope, but didn't dare to reach out and open it.

"Three days ago, my people photographed Wei Qiushan's men fighting people in a suburban park." As if he was deliberately trying to make Zhong Qing admit something, Gu Zihan personally took out the photos from the envelope and put each one in front of Zhong Qing.

When Zhong Qing saw that one of them was a picture of Gu Xiu being knocked to the ground, she stood up excitedly, and the table was driven by her strength, making a loud noise.

"No, it can't ......"

"Wei Lan was sitting in the car with Wei Qiushan at the time, and my people heard a gunshot, Zhong Qing, who do you think fired that shot?"

For a moment, Zhong Qing's eyes went blank.

Her eyes were staring at those photos, many of which were blurry, but she could still vaguely distinguish Gu Xiu's figure from the photos, and her whole body kept trembling.

It hurts, it hurts, the heart feels like it's being grabbed by a hand, and then pinched hard. The pain made it impossible for her to breathe, and for a long time, she was like an empty shell without a soul, forgetting how she was alive.

This kind of pain is like the knife stuck into the chest before rebirth, although it was only a momentary pain, but for Zhong Qing now, the fact that Gu Xiu had an accident was already in front of him, and it was even more uncomfortable than killing her.

When Gu Zihan saw Zhong Qing with a dead face, didn't he feel distressed in his heart? But he would rather let Zhong Qing suffer such a heart-rending pain once, rather than let her continue to wait for the person who would not come back to appear with pitiful and humble hopes.

"You deserve better." Gu Zihan walked to Zhong Qing's side and gently hugged her unconscious in his arms, Zhong Qing did not push him away, because she had lost the consciousness of resisting and thinking.

The moment he held Zhong Qing in his arms, Gu Zihan felt calm and warm, these two feelings had not appeared in his world for a long time.

Zhong Qing ...... Zhong Qing ......"

Feeling some strange force hugging him tightly, Zhong Qing came to his senses and pushed him away hard.

"You faked it, didn't you? The contents of the picture are not there, and he is fine...... He's fine! ”

"I can deceive you that nothing has happened, but Zhong Qing, you can't lie to yourself for the rest of your life!" Gu Zihan said: "Gu Xiu, he lied to you, he won't come back, he's dead!" ”

The word "death" is a great taboo for Zhong Qing, as if it touched her bottom line, and she suddenly tore up all the photos on the table out of control.

"Not really...... This is not true! Zhong Qing raised the knife and said tremblingly: "Gu Zihan, don't you want to lie to me...... I won't believe you! ”

Gu Zihan looked at Zhong Qing who had lost his mind distressedly, he raised his hand and held the dinner knife, bright red blood oozed from his palm, Zhong Qing subconsciously let go of his hand, and the dinner knife fell to the ground.

Zhong Qing retreated, Gu Zihan approached step by step, and she retreated step by step.

"I can protect you and stay by your side instead of Gu Xiu."

"Zhong Qing, I will never betray you, I will not let you suffer any more harm, I will protect you for the rest of my life."

"Zhong Qing, you come back to me, okay?"

The familiar voice, the same words, like a magic spell tightly wrapped around Zhong Qing, Gu Zihan's face slowly distorted into Gu Xiu's appearance in her sight, she gasped violently, looking at Gu Zihan as if she was looking at a flood beast, for fear that she would be confused by the illusion in front of her, she ran out of the restaurant like crazy.

Running to the crowded street, Zhong Qing couldn't help crying, people passing by looked at her with strange eyes, Zhong Qing seemed to be isolated from this world, she didn't seem to hear all the sounds around her, and her mind was full of only the picture of Gu Zihan being knocked to the ground in the photo.

"Miss, you have to look at the road when you walk. Otherwise, it will not be good if you fall and walk away. ”

"You're really a big lady, do you really think things will be as simple as you think?"

"What's wrong with my eldest lady? Do you quarrel with your family and come to my bar to get drunk this day? I'm not responsible for what happened. ”

"Zhong Qing, I like you, the kind of like I want to be with you for the rest of my life."

"How can the woman that my second master Gu likes be bullied?"

"I will protect you and will never let you be harmed."

"Zhong Qing, I love you."

“……”

“……”

Every moment with Gu Xiu was so beautiful, but when the dream fairy tale was suddenly shattered, leaving a mess, Zhong Qing didn't know how to clean up his broken heart.

God, am I not destined to have happiness in this life? But even death turned me away and left me alone in this dream-like world, did fate take everything from me, or did I never have it in my life? Zhong Qing held her chest, looked at the light in front of her, and was in a trance.

In the next second, on the busy street, a woman suddenly fell to the ground, and a passerby next to her ran over to check, and then dialed 120.

Zhong Qing seemed to have a dream, in the dream, she stood in front of Gu Xiu, several times she reached out to grab him, but he was getting farther and farther away, Zhong Qing chased the shadow and kept running, running until her legs were unconscious and fell to the ground, Gu Xiu appeared in front of her again and stretched out her hand, but the moment her hand touched Gu Xiu, the figure turned into thousands of butterflies and disappeared completely.

Zhong Qing woke up from her dream suddenly, and her head felt as if she had been beaten with a stick.

The tip of her nose was filled with the smell of disinfectant water, and she sat up to realize that she had a needle stuck in the back of her hand - when did she come to the hospital? Why is there no memory at all?

The pillow was wet, and Zhong Qing only remembered that she was crying in her dream, but she didn't expect to wipe her face, and there were traces of tears on her cheeks.

"Dangdang."

The door of the ward was opened, and Gu Zimo walked in and saw that Zhong Qing had woken up, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhong Qing looked at him blankly: "What happened?" ”

"I should have asked you." Gu Zimo said: "Someone saw you fainting on the road, and the ambulance pulled you to the hospital, and I happened to be on duty today, so I arranged you here." ”

Gu Zimo simply helped Zhong Qing do an examination, and then said, "Just now the nurse said that you kept crying in a coma, Zhong Qing, did something happen to Gu Xiu?" ”

Hearing Gu Xiu's name, Zhong Qing subconsciously grabbed the corner of the quilt, Gu Zimo saw that she was trembling, and hurriedly reminded her to take a few deep breaths to relax first.

"Gu Xiu ...... Missing ......"
