Chapter 5 You Are From Mars
Lixia was very obedient this time, and the next morning, the car that picked her up arrived, she obediently got into the car, followed Han Shuyi's arrangement, and went to the drug rehabilitation center to detoxify.
Han Shuyi would not be naΓ―ve to think that she was so obedient out of reflection on her past depraved life and gratitude to him - she was a smart person, she lost her job at the club, and she owed a lot of debts outside, so she had no choice but to go to a drug rehabilitation center.
Anyway, at least her problem was solved for the time being, and Han Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Yu didn't react much to Lixia's departure, but when Han Shu went to "Mingji" to eat noodles, he said casually: "My sister said that if she dies in a drug rehabilitation center, it must be you who killed her, let me seek revenge on you." β
Han Shu smiled and said helplessly: "If she doesn't go in again, she will really die." β
Gu Yu nodded and put the dishes in front of him into the tray: "That's right, you still have a way." β
Although it was past noon, there were a lot of people in the noodle shop, and the restaurant was noisy, ordering, paying, and ordering takeout. Brother Ming was busy like a spinning top, ushering in the send-off, and he was actually busy, from time to time he took his eyes to look at the situation here, and occasionally his eyes were docked, he didn't hide, and his face was trembling with a smile.
Han Shu was puzzled, and asked Gu Yu, who turned around to leave: "Your boss, why do you keep peeking at me?" β
"I don't know, maybe ...... He thinks you're good-looking. β
Han Shuyi's heart was furious, although he knew that this little girl was unintentional and couldn't take everything she said seriously, but looking at Brother Ming's sneaky eyes, he was still a little more defensive and vigilant.
He stood up and followed Gu Yu and asked, "What time do you get off work today?" I'll pick you up. β
"What are you picking me up for?"
Han Shuyi scratched his head: "I want to take you to a place." β
Gu Yu put the tray on the cleaning table, wiped his hands with his apron, and looked back at him: "You want to send me to the drug rehabilitation center?" No, I don't take drugs. β
Han Shu couldn't cry or laugh, and patiently explained: "No, it's another place." β
"Don't go!" The little girl's rejection of him was like drinking cold water on a hot day.
Han Shu was stunned and asked, "Why?" β
Before Gu Yu could answer, Brother Ming didn't know when he came over, he smiled at Han Shu first, and then pulled Gu Yu aside and asked her in a low voice, "He asked you out, why didn't you go?" β
Gu Yu felt strange: "Why should I go?" β
"Grandma, why are you so axial? What can you do when you get home? It's not like you're alone, wouldn't it be nice to let this rich and handsome man take you out for a walk and see the world of flowers outside? β
"After work, I still have something to do."
Brother Ming hated that iron could not become steel, and nodded at her forehead to teach: "Stupid you, don't take advantage of such a good opportunity." I've inquired for you, this Mr. Han is different, he is a lawyer, he rarely participates in family affairs, and he is very decent. has his own law firm and a serious career, but the key is that he doesn't have a girlfriend yet. β
Brother Ming's voice was ambiguous, Gu Yu understood it, and looked at Han Shuyi, who was standing there graceful and well-dressed, and felt a little regretful: "It turns out that he likes men." β
Brother Ming poked Gu Yu's thick bangs hard: "I'm really angry with you." β
Gu Yu rubbed his forehead, and said in his heart: I understand what you mean, I just don't want to deal with you.
In order not to let Han Shuyi's invitation go down the drain, Brother Ming decided to let Gu Yu finish work early - because Gu Yu insisted that she should go home to watch the news after work, and this habit did not change rain or shine.
Han Shuyi thanked Brother Ming for giving him convenience, so he reciprocated the favor and promised Brother Ming that he would help him find a bigger store in the near future, with convenient transportation, a prosperous location, and cheap rent. Anyway, their Han family has a store on the street, and they are generous to the family and make profits for themselves, and Han Shuyi is also quite good.
In short, these two people have a relationship, and they are all happy.
Gu Yu accepted this arrangement with kindness, turning a blind eye to their private teachings. Being able to leave work early, avoid the noisy crowd, and get out for a breath of fresh air, she is considered a vested interest, and she thinks there is no need to refuse what is beneficial to herself.
After getting into the car, Han Shuyi was obviously a little excited, helped Gu Yu fasten her seat belt, and asked her where she wanted to eat for a while.
Gu Yu asked, "Where are we going now?" β
Han Shuyi said mysteriously: "You'll know when you arrive." β
Gu Yu looked at him and began to unbuckle his seat belt: "If you don't say it, I won't leave." The news has said that many girls are taken to places where no one is by acquaintances, and then they encounter misfortune. β
Han Shuyi smiled bitterly and pointed to his face: "Gu Yu, do you think I look like a bad person?" β
The little girl glanced at him: "My brother said you weren't, but who knows, have you become bad in the past six years?" β
Han Shuyi didn't understand her logic: "Last time, you still let me go to your house?" β
Gu Yu tightened his nose and said slowly: "Last time was different, Lixia needed help, so I let you in." If you behave badly, I will scream, the sound insulation of the old house is not good, I know the neighbors very well, the neighbors will come to save me, and the police will come to arrest you. β
Han Shuyi was completely speechless, paused, and found that it was definitely a stupid act to sell with this little girl, so he simply said: "I won't take you to strange places, but to your house." β
"My family?"
"Well, your former home."
It really was her former home......
Gu Yu got out of the car and stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the garden and the two-story building in the sun, feeling unreal.
This is the home where she lived for 16 years, where her three siblings grew up.
The swing under the phoenix tree is still there, there is still a flower garden planted by my mother in the yard, the cobblestone path is winding and quiet, and the balcony on the second floor is set up with a wrought iron trellis...... It's all the way it was back then.
At this moment, the sun is setting, and the twilight in the courtyard is heavy, like an old photo, engraved in the depths of time, and she stands at the cusp of the years, staring at the past through the silent golden light and shadow.
The years are quicksand, and they are gone, and those laughter and laughter are memories that remain in another world. Gu Yu raised his face a little sadly, looking at everything that was once familiar, and the surging sadness was like a tide, almost extinguished.
She looked at the empty yard, the wind rustled the leaves, the world around her seemed to disappear, and she walked in as if she were walking in a broken dream.
Someone whispered softly in the wind, and the voice was almost inaudible, like a mother and a brother. Gu Yu wiped her face, and the suppressed tears were hidden in her eyes, and they would fall with a slight turn, but she didn't cry. She promised her brother that the day she returned home, she would not cry, even if those beautiful happiness would never come back, even if those deceased relatives had long been separated forever.
Gu Yu walked around the yard, did not enter the house, sat on the swing in the garden, his long eyelashes drooped, and he didn't know what to think.
Han Shuyi followed all the way, following her footsteps, he didn't dare to disturb her, so he sat next to her, and after a long while, he asked carefully, "Why don't you go in and have a look?" β
Gu Yu shook his head: "This house has been sold, it doesn't belong to me." β
"I bought it, and now it's mine, you can go in."
Gu Yu was stunned for a moment and nodded: "That's good, you used to come here as a guest in the past, and you understand what it means to our family better than others." You'll treat it as well as we did, right? Gu Yu raised his face and looked at him expectantly.
Han Shu looked at her lonely expression, her red eyes, and suddenly felt that she was a little cruel. He began to wonder if he had made a stupid mistake by bringing her back here.
Time flies, things are not people-
The Gu family walked and died, leaving only these two sisters, one in the drug rehabilitation center and the other here.
He can help her get the house back, but he can't help her recover the lost time, the family that has left her, and he can't make up for the six long years of loneliness, as well as those visible and invisible injuries.
Han Shuyi felt that something choked his throat, he cleared his throat and said, "It's okay, you can live here first, when I rent it to you, you give me the rent." β
Gu Yu raised his head and looked at the small white building in front of him: "It's too expensive, I can't afford to rent it." β
"I can rent it to you cheaply."
"My brother said, no merit will be punished."
Han Shu paused and whispered, "Gu Yu, if your brother is still alive, this house will not be sold." I'm your brother's friend, and it's my responsibility to help you get the house back. β
Gu Yu turned his face sideways and said to him seriously: "Han Shuyi, this is not your responsibility. Then he lowered his head and added in a low voice, "It's my responsibility." β
Han Shuyi didn't hear the last sentence clearly, "What did you just say?" β
"It's my responsibility, I could have saved it, the futures were lost, but my brother still has a few stocks in his hand that can be saved. If I had been strong enough to make my sister believe in me, the house wouldn't have been lost. β
Han Shu was confused when he heard this, Gu Yu shook his head, got up from the swing, and sighed like an old man: "Forget it, you won't believe it." β
Han Shu was stunned for a long time, watched the little girl go farther and farther, and hurriedly chased after her.
"Gu Yu, you really don't think about it anymore......" He followed behind and persevered, but the little girl walked faster and faster.
Han Shuyi found that since the reunion, this is the pattern between them: she has been walking in front, and he has been chasing behind.
Gu Yu stood still, Han Shuyi almost hit her, the little girl took a few steps back, looked at him, hesitated, and said very solemnly: "Han Shuyi, I can't accept such a great favor from you, my brother said, it's not right to sit back and enjoy it." However, if you are willing to lend me money, I can redeem the house myself. β
Han Shuyi didn't understand too much: "Lend you money?" β
"Well, it doesn't take too much, 300,000 is enough, I'll pay it back to you, I promise." The little girl's expression was sincere.
He looked at her and looked her up and down: "But, how do you make money?" β
"I can buy stocks, I'm optimistic, but I don't have any money on hand."
Hearing this, Han Shu smiled: "Gu Yu, I know that your brother has lost a lot, and you want to help him earn it back, but the stock market is not as simple as you think......"
"You don't believe me?" The little girl looked at him with a look of disappointment in her eyes.
"No, it's just that you suddenly have so much money in your hands, and you live in that kind of place, I'm worried about your safety, and I'm afraid that you will be cheated."
Han Shuyi felt that his worries were not superfluousβ300,000 yuan was nothing to him, but for the people in the slums, it was already a huge amount of money, enough to make those who were financially embarrassed take risks. If something happened, how would he explain it to her brother?
Gu Yu looked at him and slowly lowered her head, the red sunset reflected her side face, and the golden afterglow passed through her long curly eyelashes and hair, making her expression look a little sad and solemn.
Han Shu looked at her like looking at a coquettish little sister, he didn't have a sister, but had a few cousins, this feeling was strange and strange.
He said patiently: "Gu Yu, it's really not good, you can tell me if you need pocket money, you can also move in this house, but I can't give you so much money at one time, it's really too dangerous for a little girl like you." β
Gu Yu raised his head: "You think I only have the IQ of a teenager, don't you?" β
"No, but ......" Han Shuyi didn't know how to explain it to her, in fact, he did have concerns about this.
This can't be blamed on him, Gu Yu is small and looks small, she looks like a doll in the window of a toy store, and she doesn't look like an adult when she speaks, it is difficult for him to treat her as a twenty-two-year-old adult, let alone believe that she can earn 300,000 yuan to review everything that Qingming lost back then.
In his opinion, this is nothing more than a little girl's whimsical vision of the adult world.
The two of them were speechless for a while, Gu Yu kicked the stone under his feet depressedly, and sighed: "Forget it, I know that you won't believe me." She looked up, blocked the sunlight with her hand, and muttered, "It's okay, we're still good friends." β
Han Shuyi chuckled, rubbed her thick hair, and looked gentle: "Well, we are still good friends." β
Gu Yu touched his stomach and said to him, "Han Shuyi, I'm hungry." β
The two of them went to eat together, Han Shuyi asked Gu Yu what she wanted to eat, thinking that she would say that she could eat anything, but she didn't expect that the little girl was quite picky and explained that he wanted to eat Japanese food, authentic!
Han Shuyi doesn't like to eat Japanese food, Chinese food is his favorite, but since he said that he wants to invite others, he is naturally a guest.
found a Japanese restaurant that had accompanied customers, it was when there were many people, Han Shuyi was an old customer, the owner specially vacated a box for him, sat cross-legged on the tatami mats, and Han Shuyi handed the menu to Gu Yu.
The little girl was really unkind, picked the most expensive point, finished serving, and set a table full of them.
Han Shuyi was a little dumbfounded, not because he was worried about money, but because he was very simple...... I'm afraid she'll hold on.
The quaint shape of the sashimi boat has a white cool air on the bottom of the ice ballast. Gu Yu picked up a piece of salmon and dipped it in her small plate, the sashimi was delicious, the sauce was authentic, she swallowed her saliva, and was about to put it in her mouth, when the corner of her eye caught a glimpse of Han Shuyi, who was sitting on the opposite side.
She put down her chopsticks and asked strangely, "You don't eat, what do you want me to do?" β
Han Shuyi took a sip of tea, shook his head, looked at the red and green sashimi boat, and his eyes were full of respect: "I don't eat raw food, I'm afraid of parasites." β
"Don't be afraid, it's all killed by the mustard in the seasoning."
"Are you sure you can kill you?"
Gu Yu frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "This is what you adults said, I am only twenty-two years old, how do I know?" β
Han Shu had a mouthful of tea in his mouth and almost squirted out - this girl is really talking nonsense seriously. After laughing, I felt that something was wrong, was this girl teasing him?
Han Shu wiped his mouth and looked at her thoughtfully: "You remind me of someone." β
"Who?"
Han Shu smiled: "My sister-in-law." β
"Oh? Is your cousin married? Gu Yu swallowed the sashimi in his mouth, sandwiched another piece of abalone sushi, and squirmed up and down in his small mouth, eating it sweetly.
Han Shu shook his head: "No, she has been living in my cousin's house, I joked with her at first, but then I got used to it, so I couldn't change my mouth." β
Gu Yu remembered something and nodded: "I know who it is, I've heard of her." β
"You've heard of it?"
"Well, I've heard it in 'Mingji'. Mr. Han is famous, and the woman he likes is naturally famous. Everyone said that your cousin spoiled her very much, and she didn't let outsiders look at her. Some people also said that she was snatched back by your cousin, and your cousin locked her up every day and forced her to give birth to him, and they all gave birth to two boys and one girl. Gu Yu swallowed the sushi and asked with great interest: "Is it true?" β
The tea in Han Shuyi's mouth really squirted out this time, but fortunately, he collected it quickly, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said in surprise: "It's all like this outside?" β
"Well, some people say it's more exaggerated than that, but I don't believe it."
Han Shu praised her: "It's still our Gu Yu who is smart." β
The little girl's eyes flashed: "So, what I said before is true?" β
Han Shu felt a pain in his brain, and found that it was a mistake for him to start this topic, once the little girl's curiosity was aroused, it really couldn't be suppressed. Women are born with a love of gossip, regardless of age.
"I can't say a word or two about the two of them. However, my cousin never forced her to do anything. He respects her and loves her, puts her on the same level as himself, and his affection for her is love and respect. It is also because of love and respect, so no matter what I do for her, my cousin will not feel that it is a high-minded charity, he is willing, because it is worth it. β
Gu Yu nodded, and asked again: "Your cousin likes her so much, what is so good about her?" β
"In his eyes, everything is good...... "He stretched out his hand and counted them to her one by one: "Strong, brave, intelligent, and able to endure hardships." I heard that when I used to go to school, I was still a top student and had a memory like a photocopier. The most important thing is that no matter what kind of blow she encounters, she can put aside her grief and work hard to live, which is what my cousin admires the most, he likes self-aware and strong women. β
Gu Yu was quite taught, thought about it, and said, "She's very good, but I think I'm better than her." β
Han Shuyi couldn't help laughing: "Where are you better than her?" β
"Your cousin said she had a memory like a photocopier. But my brother said that my memory is like a hologram, so I'm better than her. β
Han Shu was stunned for two seconds, leaning back and forth with a smile, tears coming out of his eyes, and looking her up and down: "But, people are taller than you, huh...... The figure is also better than yours. He gestured with his hand and added, "Convex and backward." β
The little girl snorted, moved her two pink lips, and threw him two words: "Superficial." β
After dinner, Han Shuyi sent Gu Yu home. The little girl ignored him all the way because of the words at the dinner table.
Han Shuyi apologized while driving: "Gu Yu, in fact, I wasn't ...... just now"
The little girl twisted her face to the other side, as if she couldn't hear him like this, she stalked her neck, and her little black head showed a stubbornness, obviously a small person, but she wanted to put on the aura of a royal sister.
Han Shu was about to laugh, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this girl was fun, like a green plant, full of vitality, and every cell was clamoring to grow. But I laughed and laughed, and suddenly I couldn't laugh. What Lixia said that night was like a vine in his heart, and he had a question hidden in his mind, wanting to ask her, but he didn't know how to speak.
"Gu Yu, let me ask you something."
Gu Yu turned his head and saw that he looked serious, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?" β
"I heard Lixia say that before your sister-in-law was killed, you ran away from home, this is ...... Is it true? β
Her expression changed slightly, and after a moment, she calmed down again, and said softly: "Yes." β
"Why?"
Gu Yu looked at the street lamp in front of him and didn't speak.
Han Shu looked at her expression: "You...... It can't be forgotten, right? β
"I haven't forgotten," she said...... However, I don't want to tell you. β
Han Shuyi was choked and wanted to ask something more, but when he saw the little girl's face resisting and her attitude was very resolute, she had no choice but to endure it.
When he got home, Gu Yu pushed the door and got out of the car, walked a few steps, and suddenly turned around: "Han Shuyi, will you come to see me in the future?" β
Han Shu was stunned for a moment, looking at Shanggu Yu's gaze, his black and white eyes were full of expectation, and he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, of course I will!" What's wrong? β
She touched her nose: "It's nothing, I just think it's good, someone will accompany me to eat in the future, I don't have to be alone." Well, thank you. After Gu Yu finished speaking, he suddenly raised his face and asked a little nervously, "You didn't lie to me, did you?" Lixia said that men are the best at deceiving people. β
Han Shu smiled, a little sad. He stretched out his hand, ruffled her thick hair, and promised: "I didn't lie to you, I will come to see you when I have time in the future, accompany you to dinner, take you to the movies, visit Ocean Park, and will not leave you alone again, I swear." β
Gu Yu smoothed his messy hair and muttered in a low voice: "I'm not a child, I won't go to Ocean Park." After a pause, he said, "Han Shuyi, you are good to me, I will repay you in the future, I promise!" β
Han Shuyi smiled dumbly, thinking: What can you give me in return?
However, looking at Gu Yu's sworn eyes, he suddenly felt that this girl was not talking casually, she was serious. He didn't want to splash her with cold water, so he stretched out his little finger and said with a smile, "Okay, let's pull the hook." β
Unexpectedly, the little girl took a step back, looked at him with a little disgust, pursed two lips, and gently spit out two words: "Childish." β
Gu Yu walked home, watching the little back disappear around the corner of the tenement building, Han Shu didn't stop laughing.
Hologram-like memory - how dare she say it. Han Shuyi doubted whether this little girl knew what a hologram was.
He leaned back on his car, bowed his head and smiled, this night, he had a good time, but the question in his heart was still unanswered. Six years ago, why did Gu Yu run away from home? What could make a little girl who is afraid of even going to school make such an unreasonable move? Just now, when he asked about it, why didn't she answer?
Han Shuyi has never been able to figure out these questions.
I can't figure it out, but I'm not in a hurry.
At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the night is getting darker, the signs of the shops are gradually lit up, and the colorful neon lights make the dilapidated streets a little less decadent and a little more ambiguous and erosive.
As soon as Han Shu answered the phone, put down his phone, and was about to get into the car, his back suddenly tensed, and he turned around suddenlyβjust now, he felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at him behind him. However, when I looked around, I didn't find anyone suspicious. Could it be that he is too careful?
Ye Nianze put down the photos in his hand, pushed them in front of Qin Chuan, and said dissatisfiedly: "Who did you arrange to go?" Can this photographic technique be a little more scummy? β
Qin Chuan was speechless: "Are you looking for someone to follow, and you are not participating in a photo contest, what are you doing with such high requirements?" β
"You have to at least let me see his expression clearly, now it's pitch black, I'm going to look at a fart!" Ye Nianze found a photo taken at night and nodded impatiently on Han Shuyi's face.
Qin Chuan felt strange: "What do you do with his expression?" β
"I can't see his expression, how do I know if he treats that girl as a grass or a treasure? I can't estimate her value, how can I tell what to do next? β
Qin Chuan was silent for a moment and said, "Even a little girl wants to take advantage of it, Ye Nianze, you can pass it." β
However, Ye Nianze had no remorse, Jiao'er Lang glanced at Qin Chuan locally, put his hands behind his head, and changed his words: "Have you inquired clearly?" β
"Clear, I really didn't expect the rumors to be true."
"What's going on? Let's talk about it carefully. β
Qin Chuan said: "You should have heard that Han Tang hid a woman in his house. β
"I've heard it, it is said that she is very spoiled, and Han Tang even broke the eldest lady of the Tang family, his first love, for her. What, it has something to do with her? β
Qin Chuan sighed: "The problem is with this woman, the head of the Wen Group wants her, and the specific reason is unknown." People outside only know that the Wen family has offered a lot of benefits, but Han Tang not only refused to hand over people, but also gave a message to the Wen family - it is impossible to hand over people! It is clear that he wants to fight to the death with the Wen family. Although the Wen family is wealthy, they are serious businessmen after all, and if they don't go through the rivers and lakes, they will release the news - whoever can get that woman out of Han Tang's hands alive will be grateful. The price is sky-high. β
Ye Nianze lowered his head and lit a cigarette, and asked lightly, "What is the origin of that woman?" β
Qin Chuan paused and said: "The Wen family has a rule, the family business has always been passed on to men and not to women, and there is only one single seedling in this generation, that woman...... is the fiancΓ©e of their crown prince. β
Ye Nianze took down the cigarette on his mouth and said in surprise: "Isn't that prince and Han Tang have a very good relationship, and the two of them have been called brothers and sisters for many years?" β
Qin Chuan sighed: "Yes, everyone outside knows about this matter, so no one expected that the woman Han Tang was hiding was actually the fiancΓ©e of the prince of the Wen family." β
Ye Nianze sneered: "No wonder he didn't use such a big backer as the Wen family, and came to finance with us, it turned out that the two of them had already turned their faces." After speaking, he shook his head again, and his tone was playful: "Han Tang, this kid, even does his brother's woman, and hides it and doesn't return it to others, so I can't see it...... It's scary for this smart man to be confused. β
Qin Chuan said: "I asked the guards of the Han family's old mansion, and it seems that things are not so simple. β
"Oh? How's that going? β
According to the guards, the woman was picked up by Han Tang from a mental hospital in the mainland three years ago. At that time, she was tortured to the point that she was not human, and it took Han Tang a whole year to cure her. I also heard that her background is very ordinary, and she can't be compared with the Wen family at all. How she met the prince in the first place and became his fiancΓ©e has always been a mystery. But there is one thing, the person who sent the news to me made it very clear, the mother of the Wen family, who is the mother of the prince, is definitely not at ease with Han Tang this time. Otherwise, Han Tang would not have protected that woman to the point of being airtight. Not to mention a person, even if a fly wants to get close to her, it has to pass by Han Tang first. β
After Ye Nianze heard it, he laughed and tapped his fingers on the table: "Interesting......
Qin Chuan said: "Being bitten by the Wen family, it is estimated that Han Tang will be very troublesome this time." I think it's best for us to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. β
Ye Nianze spit out a smoke ring, looked at Qin Chuan from the smoke ring, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Isn't that too boring?" β
"What do you want to do?"
"How about we get that woman out and give it to the Wen family, how about selling a favor?"
Qin Chuan looked at him in surprise and concluded, "Either you're crazy, or I'm crazy." A Wen family, a Han family, it's too late to hide in this muddy water, you still have to step into it? β
Ye Nianze sneered and nodded at Qin Chuan with his hand: "You, you're just too honest." Men who are too honest will make women feel uninteresting. No wonder after chasing my sister for so many years, she doesn't like you and is dug into a corner by others. β
Qin Chuan didn't speak, thinking about the past, he could only smile bitterly, after so many years, thinking of Qiaoqiao's beautiful face, his heart was still full of sadness and regret.
Ye Nianze glanced at him, and understood that he had overspoken. Some words were unintentional when he said them, but when he thought of that past, he would only feel more uncomfortable than Qin Chuan in his heart. He cleared his throat: "Isn't it Han Tang's woman?" There's nothing untouchable. The conditions given by the Wen family are so tempting, there will always be people eager to try. β
Speaking of this matter, Qin Chuan was still opposed: "We are cooperating with Han Tang here, and we will stab him in the back when we turn our heads, which is morally impossible." Besides, that woman, if the Wen family gets her, treat her well, just be afraid of death and not let her die well, and live not let her live well......"
Ye Nianze sneered: "I don't know her, I don't care if she's dead or alive." β
Qin Chuan sighed: "You don't care, but Han Tang doesn't care?" He has protected her for so long, and he has been holding it in the palm of his hand, and a good person will say that it is gone, how can he give up? Speaking of this, Qin Chuan paused and said in a deep voice, "You should remember the matter of the Tang family, they calculated Han Tang back then, he didn't say anything, and after he took the throne, he destroyed the Tang family." Back then, he not only wanted to establish his authority, but also sent a message to the outside world - you can fix him, and you can calculate him, but his revenge afterwards may be beyond your imagination. Qin Chuan's expression was serious and bitter, "Aze, this is not a joke. β
Ye Nianze just laughed, took a cigarette, and said casually: "It's best if he's not good." The two Koreans and the two families, the business road is banditry, and they originally went their own way, and no one could hinder anyone. Now that Han Tang wants to do business, he has stepped into other people's territory, but he has offended this business tycoon, do you think he will have a good life in the future? He stood up and stretched, "If the fire doesn't burn hard enough, I don't mind filling them with firewood." β
Qin Chuan looked up at him: "You don't just want to sell favors to the Wen family, but also want to fan the flames?" Do you think we'll be able to get rid of it? Han Tang is not an impulsive person, he may not immediately find the Wen family, but may only attack us first. β
Ye Nianze sneered: "So what? I was not afraid of him in the past, but with the ally of the Wen family in the future, I am even more afraid of him. With a good handful of cards in his hand, he played it himself, who is he to blame? Now the world is so chaotic, it's not enough to work hard to make money, and he still has time to play love. Speaking of which, he looked at the scenery outside the window, looked down and thought again, "But ...... If we can keep the fire from burning on us and get her out without knowing it, it will be the best effect. β
"How?"
"We didn't come forward, we tried to lure the woman out, separated the people around her, dizzed with medicine, and directly let the people of the Wen family take them away. Even if Han Tang found out afterwards that our people were not directly involved, he would not be able to find out anything. β
Qin Chuan categorically denied: "It's easy to say, how to execute?" Not to mention fascination with her, it's hard to lure her out. The messenger said that she rarely went out, and every time she came out, she was accompanied by a lot of people, both bright and dark. Also, she never eats outside, and every time she only goes to a fixed few places, Han Tang will arrange them in advance, and she will not give anyone a chance at all. β
Ye Gongzi raised his lips and smiled: "There is always a chance in everything, Hong Kong Island is such a big territory, no matter how long Han Tang's hand is, there will be times when the whip is beyond the reach of the whip." β
Qin Chuan looked at him suspiciously: "What do you want to do?" β
Ye Nianze didn't talk immediately, his eyes moved from Qin Chuan's face, to the photo on the table, and finally stayed on the face of a blurry girl. He picked up the photo: "What if...... Is it an innocent and lovely girl who asked her out? If Han Shuyi escorted her, would Han Tang still be suspicious? β
"You want to take advantage of Gu Guyu? No way! She's just a little girl, how can you drag her into the water? β
Ye Nianze glanced at him, picked up the dart on the table casually, and aimed at the target on the wall: "Qin Chuan, did I let you be in charge of serious business for too long, so you think that our Ye family is a good person?" Or do I give you too much power, and you don't take me seriously anymore? β
Qin Chuan was choked for a moment, and his ears were hot, but he was a kind person after all, and he still insisted: "It's really not good, you have a grudge against her, how can she help you do things?" β
"How do you know if you can't do it without trying? There is a vendetta ...... I still have a grudge against Gu Lixia, she sees me like a mouse sees a cat. How big was Gu Yu six years ago? I've been scared silly, what can she remember. Ye Nianze raised his hand, swished, the dart hit the bull's-eye, and ordered: "Let's talk to this girl, some benefits." Today's little girl, who is timid and fat, is willing to do anything for money, and after so long of hard life, maybe she is willing to do it herself. β
"What if she doesn't want to?"
"Her sister is still in the drug rehabilitation center, and she doesn't want to, so she asks someone to come in and say hello."
Qin Chuan sighed: "Aren't you afraid that she will tell Han Shuyi?" β
Ye Nianze sneered, picked up Gu Yu's photo and looked at it, "If she dares to tell Han Shuyi, I will let her walk around without eating!" Han Shu can't kill me, I can kill her in minutes, it's just a little girl, I can't fiddle with it? β
Yes, as long as it is what he Ye Nianze wants to do, he can always do it.
If this matter was left in normal times, Qin Chuan would have turned a blind eye to it. It's just that if an innocent girl is implicated this time, he was implicated six years ago, and Qin Chuan was a little unbearable. This thing looks simple, but it can turn into a fight at any time*, an honest little girl, who has done nothing wrong, but is inexplicably pushed to the center of the storm, and he cries out for her.
He was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Even if it can be successful, what if Gu Guyu is scared afterwards and leaves it all out?" If you don't have an accident in the morning, you won't have an accident in the evening, as soon as she comes to the appointment, Han Tang will 100% ask her. She's just a little girl, how can she stand it? You don't have to use her to do the best results, we can try other channels. β
Ye Nianze smiled: "If my old man is still here, this matter will be simple......" He scratched his neck with his hand, "There is no proof of death, it is a hundred." β
Qin Chuan's face changed. Ye Nianze stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, times are different." I'm a serious businessman now, and if I can solve it civilly, I will try not to do it. β
"How do you want to solve it?"
"If it does, send the little girl away, give her some money, and arrange a place for her to hide for a while. The world is so big, let Han Tang find it slowly. Speaking of this, he looked at Qin Chuan with a smile and teased: "Are you satisfied now?" Qin Chuan, sometimes don't think too much about being a person, thinking too much will not be exciting. β
"You're bored and looking for excitement, but you're going to take her for the rest of your life. Because of one of your decisions, her life may have to be rewritten. Ye Nianze, you are a bastard, can you be a little more asshole? β
Ye Nianze spread his hands: "I just have this virtue, you knew it on the first day?" β
Qin Chuan sighed: "You just do it, when you get rid of it, you will be honest." β
"If you don't do that business in Thailand, Han Tang can still bite me? At this time and again, they have now offended the Wen family, and I have to reevaluate this business. Besides......" He sighed, removed the cynicism on his face, and said in a serious tone: "Wealth and danger are sought, we are from the grassroots, and we are not as good as others in terms of background and connections." Now don't 'take advantage of his illness and ask for his life', when he continues to grow, where will we still have a foothold? The world is so cruel, resources are limited, wolves have more meat and less meat, and if we don't fight or rob, how long can we mix? Do you really think I'm that boring? β
Qin Chuan was silent, putting aside those moral factors, Ye Nianze's approach was not wrong. Although he is aggressive, he has a reason. If Ye Nianze was as cautious and conservative as him, he was afraid that they would be swallowed up a few years ago and there would be no scum left. After Ye Zhenghao died, the situation was so dangerous, he still has lingering palpitations.
Seeing that Qin Chuan was silent, Ye Nianze knew that he was not confident in his heart, and gave him another reassurance: "Han Tang has been in power for several years, and there are many people who have offended. Even if the woman is killed, he looks for revenge on the enemy, and he can't find out one by one, which kind of heart do you have? β
Qin Chuan was silent for a while, and sighed helplessly: "Aze, you must not fall in love with anyone in the future." You know, you have a lot more enemies than Han Tang, and if your woman is taken away or killed......" he paused for a moment, "You may have to investigate for a lifetime." β
Gu Yu sneezed, and the volume was amazing.
Han Shu next to him smiled and draped his blazer over her shoulders: "It's cold?" β
Gu Yu shook his head: "I wasn't cold before, but I suddenly felt cold just now, and my ears were still hot, and someone might be talking about me." β
Han Shu laughed at her: "Who will talk about you?" β
Gu Yu nodded: "That's right." β
Han Shuyi pushed her and pointed to the big screen: "Look, the movie has started." β
Gu Yu grabbed a handful of popcorn, his mouth was full of Dengdeng, and he could still speak: "Han Shuyi, why did you take me to watch a movie?" β
He was surprised: "Isn't it you coming?" β
Gu Yu frowned: "But what I want to watch is a tertiary film, not an animated film." β
The little girl's volume was not small, and the surrounding audience were all parents with children, and when they heard this, they all looked over and stared at the man and woman, with strange eyes. Han Shu couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"Han Shu Yi ......"
"Watch a movie, don't talk!"
Gu Yu felt aggrieved, touched his stomach, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm hungry." β
Han Shuyi looked at her in surprise: "You have eaten so much popcorn, are you still hungry?" β
Gu Yu shook the carton in his hand: "This can only be regarded as a snack, not a meal, and I can't eat enough." β
Han Shuyi looked at her thick hair, resigned himself to his fate, and asked her, "What do you want to eat?" β
"French food, we can go after watching the movie."
"Don't eat Japanese food anymore?"
Gu Yu tilted his head sideways and licked his neat little white teeth with the tip of his tongue: "The earth is so big and there are so many delicacies, I can't rest on my laurels, I have to learn to keep pace with the times." β
Han Shuyi stretched out his hand and deliberately messed up her hair, like rubbing a black flower: "Yes, you are from Mars." β
After watching the movie, the two of them sat in the restaurant and ate.
Gu Yu took the menu and looked at it for a while, put it aside, and said to the waiter, "I want to be the same as him." β
Han Shuyi said strangely: "I haven't ordered it yet, don't you look at it anymore?" β
Gu Yu shook his head: "I don't understand, even if I do, I don't know what to eat, you order." β
Han Shuyi was silent for a while, ordered a meal for two people, and while waiting for the food to be served, he said to the little girl: "Gu Yu, have you ever thought about continuing to go to school?" β
Gu Yu looked at him and asked, "What do you learn?" β
This sentence stumped Han Shuyi, yes, what to learn? She hasn't been to a regular school since she was 14 years old, she doesn't have a good foundation, she lacks basic knowledge, and now that she is twenty-two years old, should she go back to middle school and take classes with a group of teenage children? Not to mention that she is different from ordinary people, even if she is a normal person, I am afraid she can't stand it.
The head plate came up, the two of them laid out the napkins, and Han Shuyi found that although Gu Yu couldn't order, the table manners were good, and it was estimated that Gu Qingming had taught her when she was a child. He thought for a moment and said to her, "You can learn something that you like and are more practical." My sister-in-law didn't go to college either, and now she learns English every day, and my cousin is looking for a teacher to teach her at home, if you need ......"
"I don't need to." Gu Yu wiped his mouth and flatly refused.
The kindness was interrupted, Han Shuyi was a little unhappy in his heart, and said earnestly: "Gu Yu, you can't keep being like this, the days will be so long in the future......"
Gu Yu raised his head and looked at him strangely: "I've been learning, what my brother taught me, I never threw it away, why can't I do this?" β
As soon as Han Shu thought about it, Lixia had indeed said that Gu Qingming had always taught her by herself, and also said that she was extremely talented. But what could she learn when she was so young? Will those things allow her to get a better job, make more money, and take better care of herself?
Gu Yu looked at Han Shuyi's silent face and asked, "Han Shuyi, do you look down on me?" β
Being poked by someone, Han Shu was at a loss, this girl is sometimes so sharp that it makes people embarrassed, others see through it and don't say it, she will say whatever she thinks. She is so direct, there is no need to detour when talking to her, but sometimes it is really impossible for people to get off the stage.
Seeing that Han Shuyi didn't answer, Gu Yu pursed his lips: "I also know that you look down on me, but I don't think there's anything wrong with me now." Everyone is different, she is her, I am me, why do you measure me by other people's standards? I'm not in your way. β
Han Shuyi explained: "I didn't mean that, I just thought ......"
"What do you think?"
He waved his hand and decided to give up: "Forget it, it's nothing. β
Gu Yu nodded, ignored him anymore, and concentrated on dealing with his perch.
Han Shuyi looked at her helplessly, the little girl had just cut her hair, like Alalei without glasses, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look good, she was twenty-two years old, but she had the appearance of only sixteen or seventeen years old, which made him unbearable. Forget it, if you don't learn, you won't learn, it's a big deal that he will raise her in the future, how much can such a small person eat, wear, and use? Though...... He can eat some, but he can't afford it. It's good to be carefree like Gu Yu, she is different from others, if Gu Qingming is still here, he also thinks like this, and plans to raise Gu Yu for the rest of his life. When thinking like this, Han Shuyi suddenly felt that he had a great responsibility.
Gu Yu has always spoken unintentionally, forgetting after speaking, and never holding grudges. After taking a sip of the drink, she forgot about the previous unpleasantness and asked casually: "Han Shuyi, do you have a crush on your sister-in-law?" β
"Huh?" Han Shuyi, who was in the fugue, was defenseless, and was so frightened by her that the perch on the fork almost fell to the ground.
"You call her sister-in-law, but she didn't marry your cousin at all, you still have a chance. But according to your rules, this can be regarded as seducing your sister-in-law, right? You're going to be stabbed three times and six holes, right? Gu Yu looked him up and down, and his eyes seemed to say: With your small body, can you stand it?
Han Shu couldn't laugh or cry: "What kind of mess are you, who dares to like her?" I don't want to die? My cousin is a male leopard, she is a female leopard, four or five big men, professionally trained, can't get close to her, I don't like her like that. β
"Didn't you say that she is beautiful, has a good figure, is studious, and works hard."
Han Shuyi snorted: "That's what my cousin said." In the eyes of the lover, she has her own halo in my cousin's heart, and in his eyes, of course she is good at everything. β
"Isn't it in your eyes?"
"I can't say no, but I don't feel that strong. No matter how good a person is, there are shortcomings. But love can make people blind, infinitely magnify each other's strengths, and disadvantages become advantages. β
Gu Yu nodded, and asked again: "Does she not love your cousin and still want to leave him?" β
Han Shuyi looked at her in surprise: "How do you know?" β
"From what she has learned, she wants to leave here, and even wants to stay away from the Chinese-speaking area, otherwise why would she learn English?" Gu Yu moved his eyelashes like a small brush and pursed his cute lips: "I guessed right?" β
Han Shuyi lowered his head and laughed: "That's right, it's not right." β
"How?"
"She has always pretended to be someone in her heart, she has been loved by that man, and she has been hurt by him. He was badly injured, but he still couldn't forget him. So her feelings for my cousin are grateful and appreciative, but the distance is ...... It's always a little bit off. β
Gu Yu felt strange: "In that case, why didn't your cousin just let her go?" β
Thinking of the past of those two people, Han Shuyi was a little embarrassed, picked up the knife and fork, and said while deboning the fish: "The matter here, one or two sentences are not clear, this involves many people and many things. In short, it's two words, bad fate. β
The next morning, Han Shuyi put the revised contract on Han Tang's desk.
Han Tang picked up the contract and flipped a few pages, and seeing that the person opposite had been yawning, Han Tang laughed and teased: "What? Was a thief last night? β
Han Shuyi smoothed his hair with his hand: "No, I talked to a little girl until the middle of the night, I slept late, and I wasn't very energetic." β
"Gu Qingming's little sister? You seem to have a good relationship recently......" Han Tang looked at him: "You are also in a good mood." β
"I sent Lixia to a drug rehabilitation center, and I can see how Gu Yu lives, and it's a matter of mind." Han Shuyi stood up and poured himself a cup of coffee to refresh himself.
Han Tang raised his head from the contract, glanced at him, and said expressionlessly: "I always have reservations about the character of these two sisters, you just do what you want, don't fall too deep." β
Hearing this, Han Shuyi felt a little awkward, took a sip of coffee, and replied: "Lixia is a bit of a problem, but her business has nothing to do with Gu Yu. β
Han Tang raised the corners of his lips and leaned back in the chair: "It has nothing to do with her, but have you thought about it, a girl who has lived at the bottom of the society for a long time, the cost of your meal may be her salary for several months, and the ration cost of your pet may be more expensive than her food fee, when she takes your care as a habit, is she still grateful to you?" β
"Brother, it's too arbitrary for you to say that."
Han Tang threw the pen on the table: "It's really arbitrary, so I didn't stop you from dating her, I just reminded you to keep an eye on everything." Poverty is not the original sin, but the human heart is unpredictable. Seeing profit and forgetting righteousness is the weakness of human nature, regardless of whether you have money or not. But sometimes you have to admit that when people are poor, they are more likely to be tempted. β
Han Shuyi smiled helplessly: "You're talking about ourselves, right?" β
Han Tang glanced at him: "I'm talking about everyone, but ...... We're really short of money right now. He rubbed his temples, "It's because I'm too aggressive, the plate is too big, there are too many projects to invest, the return of funds has not met expectations, and I have been blocked by the Wen family, and we are now stretched." β
Han Shuyi was silent for a moment and asked, "The Ye family's funds in place can't solve the problem?" β
"It can relieve for a while. We have repeatedly suffered setbacks in our loans with the bank, looking for someone to obtain financing, and the other party has pushed back and forth, and the Wen family wants to drive us away. β
Han Shuyi sighed: "I really didn't expect that their influence could actually extend to Hong Kong Island. β
"Now they are all looking north to Shenzhou, the Wen Group is rich and powerful, and it is an intertwined big family, who dares to offend this business tycoon?"
Han Shuyi said: "If Gu Qingming is still there, we can still put the reserve funds in the stock market to fight, but it's a pity...... How about we find someone else to trade? I know a few well-known stockbrokers in the industry, maybe ......"
Han Tang waved his hand, looking uninterested: "Money is not in a hurry, the world is not good now, let's talk about it slowly." We're just a little bit of a family, and we're gone. He picked up the teacup and glanced at Han Shuyi, who was sitting opposite, "Then again, you had such a good relationship with Gu Qingming at the beginning, why didn't you dig him up?" It's cheaper than Ye Nianze. β
Han Shuyi smiled helplessly: "Who let us not have a sister like Qiaoqiao, Gu Qingming said that between me and Qiaoqiao's eldest brother, he can only choose the latter." However, he also said that after you take the position, he will try his best to promote the cooperation between the two families, and he will be the middleman. Unfortunately, he couldn't wait for that day. β
Han Tang nodded, and his tone was quite regretful: "Although the cooperation between families and interests is the main premise, if there is a credible person to mediate in the middle, there will not be so much suspicion between each other, and there will be no such thing as now, each with his own thoughts." β
Han Shuyi thought of something again, and asked his cousin: "Speaking of Ye Nianze, I think of one thing. Brother, what are you looking for Li Bangwei for? Their Li family is now a warmonger, where there is a war, they will make it together, and what they do is a deadly business, and it is not all the way with us. β
Han Tang stood up, took out a pot of tea in the bookcase compartment behind him, and sniffed it: "You think too much, Old Man Li has a big birthday, I just went over to greet him, and ordered something with them by the way." β
"What's that?"
"M4 series, one piece of everything."
Han Shuyi was surprised: "American-style weapons, used by the army, what do you want these for?" β
Han Tang put the can of tea back, took another can down, and said casually: "Give it away." Xiao Xia was obsessed with a game a few days ago, the kind that simulates weapon disassembly. That dead girl's memory is amazingly good, and she got tired of playing in a few days. I told her, if you have the ability, you can dismantle the real thing. She competed with me, saying that if I could get it, she would dare to tear it down. β
Han Shu was stunned when he heard this: "So, you just buy her real ones and let her play them one by one?" β
Han Tang did not deny it: "Is there a problem?" β
Han Shuyi was a little speechless, and said hesitantly: "There is no problem. It's just that you're not going to give her the bullets along with it, are you? β
Han Tang glanced at him: "Am I stupid? β
Han Shuyi laughed twice, paused, and asked again: "Send something to her, is this reconciliation?" β
Han Tang thought about it, touched his chin, and muttered, "Sort of." In fact...... I can't even forget what we had a fight about last time. β
Han Shu glanced at him and thought: You two are fighting like eating, do you still need a reason? Then a lot of mouths said, "I remember the last time because of a tooth mark." β
Han Tang glared at him: "You talk a lot." β
