Chapter 33: Departure
When Xu Ruo received the news and rushed to Zhong's house, he happened to see Zhong Qing dragging two huge suitcases out alone, he stopped to help, and saw that Zhong Qing had tears on her face, she seemed to have been crying for a long time.
"Xu Ruo?" Seeing someone coming, Zhong Qing was a little surprised: "Why did you come?" ”
"Uncle Zhong called me and wanted me to persuade you." Xu Ruo replied, but now that Zhong Qing has taken out all the luggage, is it useless to say anything?
"Xiaoqing, you still listen to Uncle Zhong's words and go back to the company first." Xu Ruo persuaded: "He is your father, and he is your only relative in this world." ”
"He is my only relative, but I am not his only relative." Zhong Qing's cheeks still ached faintly, she didn't hate Zhong Jingtian, she just felt sad. When did my father prefer to believe what others say rather than believe himself?
Zhong Qing asked herself if she had ever asked Zhong Jingtian since she was a child, including Zhong Jingtian when she took Chu Shuzhi and Zhong Nian back, she Zhong Qing never said a word "no", only this time, she wanted to make her own dream, why couldn't she?
"Since I was born in this family, everything has been doomed for me."
Not only Zhong Qing, but all the children, including Xu Ruo, have been named the "heirs of the four major families" since they were children, and their every move has been noticed, and they have been instilled with the idea of inheriting the family property since they were sensible.
Xu Ruo asked: "Zhong Qing, did you choose to escape, is it because of Zhong Nian?" ”
"Sort of." Zhong Qing sat in the co-pilot, and took one last look at the "home" where she lived since she was a child, but unfortunately the owner who was here first didn't say anything about her.
"Zhong Nian hates me, she wants to take everything, so she is not willing to be with Gu Zihan, and she still wants the Zhong Group." Zhong Qing's fingers on her knees slowly clenched into fists, and Xu Ruo looked at her distressedly.
Zhong Nian robbed Zhong Qing of everything, including his father's trust in Zhong Qing, how could Zhong Qing not hate Zhong Nian?
What about hate? Zhong Qing didn't want to snatch Gu Zihan back, and he didn't want his father to see the two daughters fighting openly and secretly, all Zhong Qing could do was retreat and retreat.
Zhong Nian likes Gu Zihan, Zhong Qing will fulfill them, instead of marrying someone who doesn't love him, it is better to turn around in style; Zhong Nian secretly calculated that he was misunderstood by his father, and Zhong Qing didn't want to explain, anyway, leaving the house this time was just the right time to give his father and himself more time to calm down.
"Xiaoqing, why are you doing this?" Xu Ruo looked at the thin Zhong Qing distressedly, the stubbornness shown from her bones was sad, Zhong Qing beside her was no longer the lively and kind little princess in Xu Ruo's memory.
"Xiaoqing, you suddenly said that you want to learn fashion design...... Is it related to Gu Xiu? ”
Hearing Gu Xiu's name, Zhong Qing turned his head to look at Xu Ruo, who had doubts in his eyes and a faint uneasiness.
"Gu Xiu said he supported me." Zhong Qing didn't answer the question, because even she hadn't thought about it herself, she just said: "I have submitted my resume to a new company, and the results will be available in a few days." ”
Xu Ruo said: "Xiaoqing, Gu Xiu is very dangerous. ”
"I know." Zhong Qing's clenched fingers slowly loosened, remembering what Gu Xiu had said to her before, for some reason, her tense heart slowly eased.
Zhong Qing looked out the car window in a daze, although Xu Ruo was kind enough to remind her, but she had a different understanding of Gu Xiu in her heart, the man who looked unruly actually had a very gentle heart, no wonder Xu Zhiyan liked him so much.
"Xiaoqing? What are you thinking? ”
Hearing Xu Ruo's voice, Zhong Qing came back to her senses, she turned her head to look at Xu Ruo, and asked, "You told me that Gu Xiu is dangerous, but your sister likes him very much, Xu Ruo, have you ever thought about it...... In fact, the real Gu Xiu is not what we see? ”
Xu Ruo's hand was a little trembling, and even Zhong Qing herself didn't realize that when she mentioned Gu Xiu, there seemed to be stars twinkling in her eyes, such an expression, Xu Ruo had seen many times before-it was the joy of a little woman that Zhong Qing would reveal when she mentioned Gu Zihan.
Xu Ruo asked in a hoarse voice, "Xiaoqing, you won't ......"
Zhong Qing's mobile phone rang suddenly, Xu Ruo's words were covered, and after Zhong Qing picked up the phone, her expression slowly became a little excited.
"Good! I know! Thank you! ”
Hanging up the phone, Zhong Qing said happily: "Xu Ruo! I was accepted to a clothing company! I'll be able to go to work tomorrow! ”
"Really? That's great. Xu Ruo sorted out the expression on his face and said, "In order to celebrate your first day of work tomorrow, I will invite you to dinner tonight!" ”
Zhong Qing held her phone with a smile, she thought about it and sent a few more text messages.
In the VIP ward of City A Hospital, Wei Lan was reporting to Gu Xiu about the Sea Dragon Society.
"The boss of the Sea Dragon Society personally bowed his head to the old man and apologized, the Sea Dragon Society has already dealt with the white dragon internally, and now the Sea Dragon Club has been greatly damaged because of this incident, and it will not be able to recover from the past." Wei Lan said: "Second Master, do you think our people still need to make a move?" ”
Gu Xiu fiddled with his mobile phone and said, "The old man has not been held accountable again, and we will not chase after the white dragon." This time the matter is over, and he has no ability to cause trouble. ”
"Second master, then you are so seriously injured, forget it?" Wei Lan couldn't take this breath at the moment, with Gu Xiu having been on the road for so long, when had he been bullied like this? Those people outside were afraid just by hearing the name "Gu Xiu", but they didn't expect that the white dragon to be so short-sighted that he would dare to threaten Gu Xiu.
As a result, Gu Xiu now has a broken knee in his right leg, and a hideous scar on his left arm, and he is still wrapped in bandages in many places on his body, which is strange and troublesome.
"We are civilized people, and we talk about fighting and killing every day, what are we talking like?" Gu Xiu glanced at his phone and said, "What era is it now?" It's long been out of fashion for the kind of underworld stuff that shouts and kills. ”
Wei Lan pondered Gu Xiu's words and felt a little strange: "Second master, you don't want to ...... Got the heavenly stump, right? ”
After the Gu family bleached and established the Gu Group, most of the underworld forces in the past have been disbanded, leaving only a Tianqi bar for the final finish, Gu Xiu, who had just entered the Gu family, was sent to manage Tianqi, firstly, because of Wei Mengjun's jealousy, and secondly, Gu Guosheng wanted to test his ability first.
Gu Xiu knew it well, so he deliberately pretended to be drunk all day long, playing girls racing all day long and not doing his job, all the income of the Tianqi bar was squandered, and over time, Gu Guosheng also gave up cultivating him.
And what Gu Xiu said today has the feeling that Gu Guosheng spoke back then.
"What's wrong with taking it?" Gu Xiu played with the mobile phone in his hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It just so happens that you all take a vacation, go out for a while, and follow me all day long, and you will be scared." ”
The surprise in Wei Lan's heart can be imagined, Gu Xiu, who wanted to put the speed of collecting Tianqi as slowly as possible, actually took the initiative to close the bar?
"If the Tianqi is really closed, what should you do, Second Master?" Wei Lan asked.
Gu Xiu calculated: "I have made some money by opening a bar in the past few years, and with the fixed assets in my hand, it should be enough to pay for future treatment." ”
"Will Mr. Gu let you leave?" Wei Lan could already imagine that after Gu Xiu closed the Tianqi Bar, he would be arranged by Gu Guosheng to enter the Gu Group, so that even if Gu Xiu himself didn't want to, he would participate in the endless battle with Gu Zihan.
Of course, Gu Xiu knew what Wei Lan was worried about.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"Second master, have you really thought about it?" Wei Lan said uneasily: "You said back then that you didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the four major families no matter what, but now you ......"
For the sake of a Zhong Qing, Gu Xiu was really thinking about closing the Heavenly Barrier. Wei Lan had never thought of such a thing before, Gu Xiu, who had never touched a leaf in the midst of a hundred flowers, would one day do such a thing for a woman.
Of course, for Gu Xiu, Zhong Qing was only one of the reasons, and his idea of closing the Heavenly Barrier actually originated from Gu Guosheng's attitude earlier. From the time Gu Guosheng asked him to follow up on the matter of the land in the north of the city a while ago, he knew the old man's thoughts - he wanted to pull himself into the Gu Group, in other words, the old man also felt that the matter of closing the Tianqi was too slow to deal with.
What's more, there was an accident this time, which affected Gu Ziyu, even if the old man didn't say it, he would be uneasy in his heart, although the Gu family had broken away from the underworld, but there were many enemies in the past, this time Gu Ziyu was kidnapped, and I don't know what will happen next time.
"Second Master, no matter what you decide, I will support you!" Wei Lan said: "No matter where you go, I will follow, my life is saved by you, and I will follow you in this life!" ”
Gu Xiu smiled, leaned back in the wheelchair and did not speak.
Today's sunshine is very good, the weather is also very good, and the text message sent by Zhong Qing just now made Gu Xiu's mood better. He squinted his eyes and enjoyed the tranquility that he had not enjoyed for many years, his heart, which was protected by the copper wall and iron wall, was irrigated by a gentle force, Gu Xiu himself did not realize that after meeting Zhong Qing, he actually had a weakness.
He once thought that he was invincible, but he would take the initiative to disarm and surrender, Gu Xiu never thought about love, he had been dependent on his mother since he was a child, and he never thought that in his heart, he would one day walk into another woman.
Such a feeling...... It doesn't seem to be bad, Gu Xiu touched his chin, and the smile widened at the corner of his mouth.
Xu Zhiyan approached from behind Gu Xiu and put the blanket he took out over Gu Xiu's body, Gu Xiu squinted his eyes and turned his head to look at her, his expression became a little helpless.
"Look at what I'm doing!" Xu Zhiyan glared at Gu Xiu, and said angrily: "If you drive me away again, I will overturn your wheelchair!" ”
Gu Xiu sighed: "Yes, yes, your eldest lady Xu has a bad temper, I don't dare to provoke it." ”
"Who said I had a bad temper?" Xu Zhiyan's voice softened: "If you like gentleness, I can change it." ”
