Chapter 19: The Fire

As soon as Gu Linjue opened the door, he bumped into a pair of bright eyes.

He dodged to the side, deftly dodging the oncoming punch.

"It's good, I've practiced a lot in the Lin family over the years!"

"Shao Chen, be honest, this is on my territory." Gu Linjue grabbed his arm and reminded faintly.

"You, you, do you remember that my name is Shao Chen?" Shao Chen was so angry that he was incoherent: "Have you ever regarded me as a friend?" Don't even tell me the news of your marriage to Mu Yao! ”

Gu Linjue said: "It's a matter of urgency, we got married in a hurry at the time, and we didn't have time to ......."

"What about a phone call?" Shao Chen shrewdly intercepted the conversation and cross-examined: "So busy that you don't have time to call?" You should still have your brother's phone number, right? ”

Mu Yao hurriedly came over to clear the siege: "It's really in a hurry, I told my parents about this, and no one else knows." ”

Of course, Shao Chen believed Mu Yao, so he said angrily: "So, you married Yaoyao, and you didn't even hold a wedding for others?" ”

Gu Linjue looked around him and looked at Mu Yao, seeing that she lowered her head slightly, and her drooping forehead hair cast a shadow on her eyes, but she was still gentle and gentle when she spoke: "Don't talk about this, let's go in and talk again." ”

Shao Chen looked at Mu Yao, then turned his head and glared at Gu Linjue.

Walking to the kitchen and seeing that half of the ingredients were prepared, Gu Linjue rolled up his cuffs to wash his hands, and naturally picked up the kitchen knife to take over.

Shao Chen leaned over and leaned idly next to him and laughed at him: "It's rare, Young Master Gu, to be able to eat the food you cooked." ”

Gu Linjue didn't raise his head and said: "Our family doesn't raise idlers, and we have the kung fu to move our mouths, so it's better to help me knock a few eggs." ”

So the big man of more than 1.8 meters began to fight against the fragile little eggs.

Gu Linjue completely ignored his embarrassment, and asked while chopping vegetables, "How did you meet Yaoyao?" ”

Shao Chen finally picked out the eggshells mixed in the eggs, and replied: "Isn't the company going to raise funds, the securities company I went to find is exactly where Yao Yao works." ”

Gu Linjue looked at him sideways: "Deliberately? ”

Shao Chen paused, straightened up and said, "This is not ...... Coincidentally, I finally had such an opportunity, and it wouldn't be too embarrassing to meet. ”

Gu Linjue methodically put the seasoning and stewed the soup, and asked casually, "Why haven't you seen Yaoyao for so long?" What's so embarrassing about old friends meeting each other? ”

Shao Chen washed his hands, the sound of water was loud, and he said in a low voice: "Didn't Ah Cheng tell you?" ”

Gu Linjue walked over, turned down the water flow, and asked, "What are you hiding from me?" ”

What kind of past has made Mu Yao a nightmare, and Zhou Chengsi has always been reluctant to say it, and Shao Chen has escaped for so long, and is finally willing to come out of his shell, he doesn't catch him and ask him how to do it?

Shao Chen hesitated for most of the time before he looked directly into Gu Linjue's eyes and said, "Xiao Jue, back then, the death of Se Se back then was related to Yaoyao. ”

Gu Linjue's eyes were cold, and he said, "What death?" How could Cersei die? How can it have anything to do with Haruka? ”

"It's true," Shao Chen said, "I saw the body with my own eyes, and the police also found the woodcut on the body." ”

Speaking of that woodcut, Gu Linjue certainly knew that it was bought by several of them together at that time, and it had always been carried on his body like a token, which was a unique symbol of each person.

So when they saw the woodcut, they were sure that the person was Liang Se.

There is no room for defense, the fact is that Mu Yao took Liang Se away back then, but he took him to the place of death.

And the happy memories originally carried on the woodcut have also become black signals that can never be erased.

Through the kitchen window, they all looked at Mu Yao who was peeling apples and preparing a salad, her back was gentle as before, but Gu Linjue remembered that when she saw Mu Yao again, she unconsciously shrank and dodged, and the nightmares she was haunted by nightmares were all because the shadow left by the past made her no longer the gentle and bright girl she once was.

When Gu Linjue spoke again, his tone had softened a lot, and he asked, "Who else knows about this?" ”

"There were Ah Cheng, Yaoyao and me who were present at that time," recalling that day, Shao Chen's heart still had a shudder that made him feel disgusted, but Gu Linjue's firm eyes gave him courage, and he continued to recall: "There is also Aunt Liang." ”

"Liang Qianwan?" Gu Linjue frowned and asked.

"Well, she's Cersei's mother, so she's naturally there." Shao Chen saw that his face was different, so he asked, "Is there a problem?" ‘

Gu Linjue shook his head, and his face returned to normal: "No." ”

He continued: "I finally understand why Ah Cheng is so vague about this matter. ”

Shao Chen said: "It's me who is wrong, I blame me for being too impulsive at the time, not only was I in pain, but I also wanted to drag Yao Yao into the water, I, I scolded her at the time and blamed her, I was like a bastard, only Ah Cheng always thought that it was just an accident." ”

Gu Linjue asked, "Where did you find the body?" ”

Shao Chen glanced at him and sighed that the doctor's psychological quality was really different, and when he heard such a thing, he could still keep his face changed and ask about the details of the incident in a clear manner.

Without thinking about it, he could clearly remember: "In an abandoned pond." ”

Gu Linjue asked while stir-frying: "Does identification only rely on woodcuts?" Do you have a DNA test? ”

Although the scene in front of him was very weird, Shao Chen still replied honestly: "No, you also know that the DNA technology at that time was not accurate enough, and Aunt Liang was very sad and didn't let us get close, and quickly let the body be taken away." “

Gu Linjue nodded and continued to ask, "Has the cause of death been investigated?" ”

Shao Chen lowered his head: "No, the soaking time is too long, and it has been seriously rotted when it is salvaged......"

Even if Gu Linjue was there, he couldn't say any more, as long as he thought of that scene, and when he thought that the person lying there was Liang Se, the remorse hidden in his heart would instantly gather and entangle him like a poisonous snake until he was suffocated.

When Mu Yao walked in, he found that Shao Chen's face was very ugly, while Gu Linjue was calmly putting the dishes on the plate.

"Shao Chen, are you okay?" She asked cautiously.

Shao Chen didn't look up, and asked her in a dumb voice: "Yaoyao, where is the bathroom?" ”

Mu Yao pointed to him, watching Shao Chen hurriedly walk in, she turned her head to look at Gu Linjue, only to see him smile clearly and innocently: "Seeing me cooking for him, he was moved like this, there is really no way, he is still the same as before, such a sensual man, isn't it?" ”

Mu Yao walked over in disbelief and helped him take off his apron: "Don't underestimate Shao Chen, he is different from before, now he is the boss of a large company, or our big customer." ”

Shao Chen happened to walk in, and when he heard this, his face was happy: "Yaoyao, am I very majestic today?" ”

Mu Yao responded with a smile: "Very handsome." ”

Gu Linjue listened, threw the apron in his hand and threw it towards Shao Chen: "Don't put it aside, come and bring the dishes!" ”

Talking about the pain and seeing Mu Yao again, Shao Chen's heart felt like he had been relieved of the burden that had weighed him down for many years, and he was extremely relaxed and cheerful for a while.

Gu Linjue looked at Shao Chen, who was drunk, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Yao looked at Shao Chen, who was lying on the table in a coma, in silence, until Gu Linjue's hand stroked the top of her head, then she came back to her senses, looked up at him and said, "Brother Lin Jue, I haven't been so happy for a long time. ”

Gu Linjue nodded: "I know." ”

She smiled crookedly, without any thoughts, and he hadn't seen it for a long time, abandoning all sadness and gloom.

Gu Linjue stroked her hair and said softly: "Yaoyao, don't wait long, you will always be so happy." ”

Mu Yao asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

He couldn't stand Shao Chen's enthusiasm, and drank a few glasses of wine, a little drunk, his cold eyes became calm and warm, and he stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Mu Yao's shoulder: "Because I am here." ”

Mu Yao hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out to hug his waist.

"Brother Lin Jue, I'm happy enough to have you here."

She has never complained about the unfairness of fate, but only thanks to its love, which really brought Gu Linjue to her.

So that even if she drags on the muddy past, she can still be full of hope for the future.

Qian Yu has also been very busy recently, breaking such a big economic news, considering her personal safety, the leader of the newspaper asked Qian Yu to rest for a while, which was actually suggesting that she go out to avoid the limelight.

Putting aside her previous character, Xu Qianyu had already traveled around the world with her burden, but this time she didn't go anywhere, and went to the bar every day with a bouquet of bellflower flowers.

Until that day she was barricaded from the door.

Qian Yu was wearing a windbreaker, a short skirt and short boots, showing her long legs, and raised her foot and kicked the closed iron door, which was opened by Xiao Xianglai.

"What's wrong?" She asked, "Isn't the business very good, why is it closed?" ”

Xiaoxiang scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Sister Xu, it's not that you're out of business, it's that the boss said that you won't come again." ”

Qian Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?" ”

Xiaoxiang hesitated for a long time, and he didn't say why, the boss's thoughts, where did he understand, even if he understood, he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Qian Yu pushed Xiao Xiang to the side, and was about to go inside, Xiao Xiang stretched out his hand to stop her, but he didn't dare to really catch her, and he was in a dilemma for a while.

was entangled, and suddenly a voice came from behind him: "What is this messing with?" ”

Qian Yu turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Qi Cang with a casual expression, with his hands in the pockets of his black jacket, looking at this side.

When Xiao Xiang saw that his boss had finally come, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately flashed.

"Xu Qianyu," Qi Cang said, "Are you here to smash the field again?" ”

Qian Yu stroked his hair: "I'm here to drink." Why, is that how your bar treats its valued guests? ”

Qi Cang sneered: "Come back, your guest is too noble, and the small shop can't afford it." ”

After speaking, he took a step forward and wanted to go around her, but he was suddenly pulled by Qianyu's sleeve: "Why? ”

Qi Cang paused, looked straight ahead and said, "Xu Qianyu, I will protect you once, and I can't guarantee that I will protect you a second time." ”
