Chapter 223: Cherry Blossom Trees
Sheng Tianche remembered what Sheng Tianqi said just now, and thought thoughtfully.
He said to Gu Qiongyi: "I always felt that my father did whatever the apocalypse said, and he didn't have his own ideas. But lately, it feels like he's not as obedient as he used to be. I didn't expect him to tell me about Youyou tonight. ”
"You are his only brother, and you can't discuss this kind of thing with your parents, and you can't complain to your colleagues, so only you can talk about it." Gu Qiongyi hugged Sheng Zimo, who had finished taking a bath, and handed him to Sheng Tianche. Turn around and clean up the bathtub.
Sheng Tianche pondered Gu Qiongyi's words, and left the bathroom with Sheng Zimo in his arms.
Early the next morning, Sheng Tianche got up and made breakfast.
Gu Qiongyi asked Sheng Zimo to get up, and went downstairs to see a person in the living room cleaning up the sofa.
The man heard someone coming down the stairs and turned to look.
Seeing Gu Qiongyi, she smiled and shouted, "Miss Gu." ”
"Yu Man?" Only then did Gu Qiongyi remember that Sheng Tianqi had said last night that he would find someone from Sheng Guoan to come over and help. I didn't expect the efficiency to be so fast.
Sheng Tianche brought the food to the table and asked Gu Qiongyi and Sheng Zimo to come over to eat.
Gu Qiongyi asked Yu Man, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?" Eat some together. ”
Yu Man hurriedly shook his head: "No need, I've eaten it." ”
Gu Qiongyi knew that the Sheng family had strict family rules, and she was afraid that Yu Man would feel uncomfortable, so she was not too enthusiastic.
After breakfast, Sheng Tianche went to work in Shengshi Group under the persuasion of Gu Qiongyi.
Sheng Zimo was upstairs playing with assembling toys.
Yu Man cleaned up the kitchen, and Gu Qiongyi helped Sheng Zimo squeeze juice next to him.
Gu Qiongyi said to Yu Man: "There are a lot of empty rooms on the first floor, you can see which one you like, just pack up and move in." ”
"No need, I'll come over every day to clean up, and then go back to Sheng's house at night."
"It's a bit of a hassle, and it's going to get colder and colder over the next few days, so it's too inconvenient to run back and forth. I'm usually home alone, so you can chat with me when you come. ”
Gu Qiongyi said that this was the case, and Yu Man did not refuse again.
At noon, the sun was shining.
Yu Man took the bedding to the yard to dry.
Gu Qiongyi looked at the somewhat desolate courtyard and thought of the Sheng family's garden.
"This yard needs to grow something," she said. ”
Yu Man didn't speak, but he kept Gu Qiongyi's words in his heart.
A few days later, Gu Qiongyi was accompanying Zimo at home, when a group of people came from outside the yard, and the sound of a big car.
She walked to the window with Zimo in her arms and looked outside.
Several trees were dragging behind several cars, and Sheng Tianche was chatting with a middle-aged man in the yard.
Then, the middle-aged man went out to direct the workers outside, took a shovel into the yard, and began to dig the earth.
Gu Qiongyi led Sheng Zimo downstairs, and Sheng Tianche came in from outside.
"You're going to plant a tree in your yard?" Gu Qiongyi asked.
"Didn't you tell Yu Man that you have to plant something in the yard?"
Gu Qiongyi was embarrassed: She meant to plant some flowers and plants, and she didn't let Sheng Tianche plant trees.
It's going to be winter soon, can the tree live?
Sheng Tianche saw that Gu Qiongyi's face was a little worried, and he explained: "I'm going to plant a few cherry blossom trees in the yard and plant some other flowers under the trees." Those people outside are a team of professionals who come over regularly to maintain them. It's okay in winter. ”
"Cherry blossom trees." Gu Qiongyi's face looked a little better.
She remembers that her father also thought about planting cherry blossom trees for her mother, but the place where they lived was an ordinary community, and there was no yard as big as the villa here.
Thinking that next spring, she could sit in the yard and enjoy the cherry blossoms, Gu Qiongyi began to feel that this was really a good idea.
Workers outside had a busy day, loosening the soil, planting trees, and watering them. Sheng Zimo also played with him, and he was very happy.
Sheng Zimo often went back to accompany Sheng Guoan, and the family did not deliberately trouble Gu Qiongyi anymore.
Everything seemed to be fine, but a piece of news one day ruined Gu Qiongyi's peaceful life.
Sheng Tianqi and the wedding of Tilt You arrived as scheduled, and the venue was chosen in the largest church in Zhonghai City.
Gu Qiongyi and Sheng Tianche naturally wanted to participate, while Sheng Zimo and the daughter of a Sheng Tianqi high school classmate served as little flower girls.
In the midst of the beautiful wedding ceremony, Tilt Youyou wore a white wedding dress and held a bouquet of champagne roses in his hand, led by Tilt Anbang, and walked in from the red carpet outside the church.
Behind him, Sheng Zimo and the other little girl held the long skirt of the wedding dress.
Sheng Tianqi was dressed in a black tuxedo with a red rose pinned to his chest. Look in the direction the bride is coming.
It was obviously someone else's wedding, but Gu Qiongyi felt very excited. Probably the atmosphere was too joyful.
Sheng Tianche held Gu Qiongyi's hand tightly and said in her ear, "Don't worry, it's our turn next spring." ”
Gu Qiongyi turned her head to look at him with a smile on her face.
At this moment, Gu Qiongyi's mobile phone received a message.
She took her phone and clicked on WeChat.
The message was sent by a mysterious person. He asked, "Did you find any clues about the fire five years ago?"
Gu Qiongyi's original good mood disappeared at this moment.
The cheerful wedding music was still ringing in her ears, but her emotions fell to the bottom.
Gu Qiongyi sent a message back to the mysterious person: "What evidence do you have to prove that my parents' deaths were not accidents?"
"You'll need to find the evidence yourself." The mystery man replied quickly.
Gu Qiongyi was inexplicably annoyed, she said, "Why should I believe in groundless things? Either you tell me who you are, or you prove to me that my parents didn't die in an accident."
The chat box went silent.
Gu Qiongyi thought that the mysterious person was missing again, but not long after, he sent an identification report.
The reporter's name is 'Tilt Qing', and it is Gu Qiongyi's mother.
In the content of the autopsy report, there is a clause that reads: He received a heavy blow to the head before his death.
The mysterious man then sent a new message: "Before the fire, your mother had a conflict with someone else. Does this prove that her death was not an accident?"
Gu Qiongyi clicked on the picture of the autopsy report again. The date is after that fire five years ago.
Gu Qiongyi's father and mother have a good relationship, they have been married for 20 years and have never quarreled. So the heavy blow to my mother's head must have been caused by someone else.
However, it is not ruled out that after the fire, the mother was injured by the furniture when she wanted to escape.
It's just that Gu Qiongyi began to doubt a little. After firefighters extinguished the fire, the police came to investigate the scene. Dad was found still lying on the bed in the bedroom, while Mom was in the study.
Gu Qiongyi had never thought that the fire might be man-made, so she didn't think carefully about these details.
Now that I think about it, the last place where my mother was in the study, which means that she was not in the bedroom when the fire broke out.
Under normal circumstances, if Mom finds out about the fire, the first thing she needs to do is to wake Dad up first. She couldn't have gone to the study alone.
And if the fire had started in Dad's bedroom, Mom would still have run to the bedroom to save Dad.
Why were the bodies of the two of them in the bedroom after the fire, one in the bedroom, while the other was in the study furthest from the bedroom?
