Dusk was approaching, Han Shuyi finished handling the affairs of the law firm, left the city, drove all the way up the mountain, and came to the old house of the Han family. The location here is remote, with the mountains and the sea in the background, the scenery is beautiful, but the location is extremely particular, and it is typical that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Back then, the ancestors of the Han family chose this place as a place to live, and they worked hard.

After Han Tang became the owner, he spared no expense to add modern security equipment to the entire house, which covers a large area, making it a strong barrier, like a prison. But despite this, the new Han family boss still felt that it was not safe enough, and in the last few months, he has doubled the number of guards.

When the car arrived at the gate, the guard recognized him and opened the door respectfully, without saying much.

After driving smoothly into the courtyard, he saw his cousin, the owner of this house, standing in the ring not far away, with a long, tall body,* upper body, bronzed skin shining in the sun, and streamlined muscles* were distinct. In front of him stood a girl.

The girl was half a head shorter than Han Tang, more than 1.7 meters tall, with a thin waist and long legs, long hair tied into a simple ponytail, revealing a beautiful forehead, and a black sports vest set off a good figure with moderate slenderness. There was no rouge on his face, but his facial features were deep and his black eyes were full of water, and he was looking at the man in front of him seriously at this moment, listening to the gesture as if he wanted to take every word he said into his ears.

The waves in the distance, the sound of the waves, the waves on the sea, the golden light.

Han Shuyi squinted his eyes slightly in the sun, although he had seen the scene in front of him countless times, he still felt that the scene of these two people standing together was as beautiful as a deliberately elongated movie lens, without any discount.

Maybe it was the moment of rest, Han Tang took off his fist gloves and threw them aside, bowing his head and not knowing what was said in her ear. The girl smiled sideways, her face was white, and her smile was delicate.

Just had a quarrel yesterday, and there was still a pair of fresh tooth marks on her neck, Han Tang wanted to keep a straight face, but when he saw her smiling face at this time, he softened half of his anger first. Grabbed the girl's thin white shoulder, and saw that she was about to drag the person into her arms, but King Xiang had a dream, the goddess had no intention, and was gently separated by someone's arm.

The girl turned around to get water, and when she looked up, she saw Han Shuyi standing not far away, looking at them with a smile. She waved her hand at him, "Forgiveness, it's so early today?" ”

Han Shu looked at the beauty in front of him - this rumored woman, who has been "imprisoned" by Han Tang for many years, and is secretive, the "disaster water" of the Han family, the "demon" in the mouth of outsiders, and the "summer of Chutian" of his cousin.

Yes, this girl's name is Chu Xia, not the name given by her parents, but the name on the ID card, and the ID card was given to her by Han Tang after she came to Hong Kong Island. As for the real name, that's a secret that can't be said.

Han Tang leaned on the rope of the ring, and the people around him handed him a bottle of water, he took it, greeted his cousin while drinking water, and said unpolitely: "Come to eat again?" But you'll have to wait a minute, we're not done yet. ”

Han Shu smiled: "You guys come on, I'm not in a hurry." ”

Han Tang nodded, put down the water bottle, picked up the two pairs of black fist gloves placed on the edge of the ring, and threw one of them to Chu Xia.

The two of them didn't need to say anything in the ring, they were very tacit.

Han Shuyi sat under the umbrella next to him, looking at the scene in the ring, his eyes involuntarily fell on his cousin's heart and liver baby. He doesn't know martial arts, he doesn't understand Muay Thai, but he admires Chu Xia's appearance in the ring, he is vigorous and heroic, and he comes and goes with his cousin, fierce and ruthless, unambiguous.

Since this girl took the initiative to learn Muay Thai from Han Tang two years ago, the changes in her body are very obvious, not to mention her figure and temperament, even the eyes of people are different from others, and she is calm and ruthless. His cousin said that people who play martial arts have a bit of a wolf in them.

Han Shuyi took a closer look and found that she seemed to be a little darker than when she first came, her delicate figure, bright eyes, honey-colored skin, and vigorous vitality emerged from every hair, every inch of skin, and every cell, and she couldn't stop it.

At this moment, as a fellow man, he could understand his cousin's anxiety.

After dinner, the brothers chatted in the study.

Han Shuyi thought about himself repeatedly all night, weighed all kinds of gains and losses, and still decided to help the Gu family sisters, and explained it to his cousin hesitantly.

Han Tang listened quietly, sat behind the wide desk, looked at him with a smile, and said, "You are really good at picking the time." ”

Han Shu was speechless, he didn't know that when he was cooperating with the Ye family, the contract had not yet been signed, and the funds had not yet been in place, if he tore his face with the Gu family sisters over there, this project would definitely be implicated.

He rubbed his eyebrows in embarrassment: "I also know that the timing is not right, but I can't bear to see Gu Qingming's sister doing public relations in the Han family's club." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "I haven't done anything for their sisters in six years." Now that I've met, I can't just leave it alone, can I? ”

Han Tang looked at him thoughtfully, and said directly: "If I'm not mistaken, when you went to ask for someone, we had an agreement with the Ye family, right?" They agreed to release them, but as long as they lived, the Han family could not give them any funding. The term of this agreement is permanent, what does it mean to be permanent, and want me to explain it to you? ”

Han Shuyi shook his head and whispered, "I remember, of course I do." ”

Who can forget those past events?

Han Shuyi closed his eyes uncomfortably, as if time had gone backwards, and he returned to that tragic past and experienced the turbulent waves of the year.

Gu Qingming, a top student of Columbia University, a famous financial genius at the time, and the financial director of Ye's family, married Ye Nianze's sister and became Ye Zhenghao's son-in-law and Ye Nianze's brother-in-law.

Who would have thought that in just a few months, the proud son of heaven who everyone envied would become a murderer who was scolded by thousands of people, and from a murderer to a cold corpse.

Thinking of this, Han Shuyi's lips trembled a little: "Brother, it's not that I haven't endured it, I've endured it for six years......"

Han Tang sighed and slowed down: "You have endured it for six years, but why don't you endure it again at this time?" You're not a child, you don't understand what it means to be measured? ”

Han Shuyi had a calm face and did not speak.

Han Tang said again: "Forgive one, in that situation at that time, anyone would choose Mingzhe to protect himself, and you don't need to feel guilty at all." It's been six years, and it's time for you to wake up, for the sake of two people who have nothing to do with each other, how long do you think it's hard for yourself? ”

Han Shu smiled bitterly and replied with a little sarcasm: "Yes, they don't have the surname Han, so it has nothing to do with us." However, if one day, I die, go down to see Gu Qingming, and he asks me, why don't you take care of my two younger sisters, why do you watch them fend for themselves, what should I say? He raised his head and looked straight at Han Tang, "Tell him that because they have nothing to do with me, will I leave it alone?" The two of us had a lifelong friendship back then, can I say this kind of thing? ”

Han Tang didn't say anything, Han Shuyi continued: "Brother, have you thought about it, if one day, the Han family is defeated, are you willing to let Chu Xia bear the mistakes you made?" Do you hope that when you are away, someone can stand up and help her, so that she will not be implicated and suffer those hardships that she should not have suffered? Compare hearts to hearts, and you will understand how I feel now. In the end, he lowered his voice and softened his tone, "It's not that we don't have this ability, you should be ...... How hard can it be to accumulate blessings for the people you love? ”

Han Tang was silent.

Han Shu breathed a sigh of relief, he had exhausted all the emotional cards of six years, and he also pulled Miss Chu Xia to support himself. If this trick doesn't work, then he can only fight with the Ye family single-handedly.

Han Tang sat on the black swivel chair, turned around half a circle, and looked at the grassy courtyard downstairs through the glass of the study.

The man who had just been mentioned was holding a small piece of ham and walking the dog there in great spirits, and the little sausage at home was jumping his little short legs, jumping and jumping, and was about to be tossed to death by her.

Looking at the flower-like smile on Chu Xia's face, Han Tang felt that his heart had melted, but there was a certain tingling in the melting, and an unspeakable sadness weighed heavily on his heart, desolate and heavy.

He once said to himself: In addition to freedom, he will give her whatever she wants, and he can't be too good to her, she can afford it.

But during this time, he really did too many things that went against common sense for her.

He said that Han Shuyi didn't understand proportions, what about himself?

Could it be that only he, Han Tang, is allowed to set fires, and no one else is allowed to light the lamp?

After a long time, Han Tang let out a long sigh and said flatly: "You can help them, I'll figure out a way from the Ye family." But before you start, I advise you to see the sisters first, and don't waste your kindness on unworthy people. ”

Han Shuyi looked at Han Tang's back strangely, not knowing why.

Han Tang turned around and said in an ordinary tone: "You can't pass your own level, you must wade through this troubled water, I will let you." But you have to remember that respecting people is the essence and respecting the character, and your kindness cannot be given to everyone. No matter how pitiful the person's situation is, the weaknesses of human nature are the same. If you have a good character, at least the moral bottom line will not be too low, and it will not be so easy to lose your principles. I don't expect them to repay their kindness, but I don't want to be bitten back at a critical time. ”

Han Shuyi felt that his cousin was a little worried: "Two little girls, not so." ”

Han Tang stared at him with a serious expression: "The story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf, you didn't hear it when you were a child?" Sometimes, it's not because you have good intentions that you get good results. ”

Han Shu was stunned for a moment.

Han Tang stood up, stretched his muscles, and simply made his words clear: "I haven't seen Gu Guyu, it's not good to evaluate, just say that Gu Lixia, the Han family club is a serious place to do business, not a prostitute den, and will not do anything to force good people to become prostitutes, everything depends on self-consciousness." She herself is unwilling to sell, who can force her? If you don't believe it, what is the girl's reputation, you can ask for yourself. ”

When Han Shuyi left the Han family's old house, he left with a full stomach. As soon as he drove the sports car, he took out his mobile phone and made a call, asking someone to help him find the addresses of Lixia and Gu Yu.

He drove down the mountain, and the setting sun on the horizon shot beams of golden light, shining on the earth, but it could not shine into his dark heart at the moment. There are some things that don't really need to be said, he understands them himself. After so many years, two girls, six relatives do not rely on, the family is surrounded by walls, lonely and miserable, what do they live on?

And what is Hong Kong Island? This is not a deep mountain and old forest, not a paradise, it is a bright vanity fair, a place for drunken gold fans. There are fashionable and beautiful modern girls walking on the street, and the shops are full of luxuries, beautiful, good-looking, cute, and glittering...... How do you let a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world refuse those temptations?

Han Shuyi had an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if he was disappointed, but in the end, what did he have to do with Gu Lixia? Brother's friend? But this so-called friend did not lend a helping hand when her brother needed him the most.

What right does he have to be disappointed in her?

Han Shuyi rubbed his face uncomfortably, sat in the car, and looked at the address found by the trustee in the text message on his mobile phone - the place where there are the most poor people on Hong Kong Island, and the Gu sisters live here.

There is a good saying: in this world, if you have the heart to find someone, you can always find it, and everything you miss is just that the person concerned does not work hard enough.

It was indeed true that it took Han Shu half an hour to find the address of the Gu sisters. Looking at that address at the moment, he felt an indescribable guilt in his heart.

Although the Gu sisters were not born in a wealthy family, they are also scholars.

When Gu Qingming had an accident, the eldest sister Lixia was only eighteen years old, and the younger sister Gu Yu was only sixteen years old.

If Gu Qingming was still alive, how could they live in that kind of place?

If he could take care of them in the past six years, how could Gu Lixia be reduced to betraying himself? And Gu Yu, I don't know how she is now, will she be more unbearable than her sister?

One "if" after another, Han Shuyi fell into his own "if" and couldn't pull it out, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was to blame for this matter, and the more he wanted to take the responsibility on himself.

After thinking about it, he decided to take a look for himself.

When Han Shuyi looked at the Gu sisters' addresses and was sad, Gu Yu, who didn't know anything about it, was about to go to work. Today she works the evening shift, and there is a lot of traffic at dinner time, but fortunately she took a nap at home in the afternoon.

After the vernal equinox, the weather was pleasant, and in the evening it rained lightly. But when Gu Yu came out, the rain had stopped, and the dilapidated street market was as if it had been washed with water, and everywhere was clean. At the beginning of the lights, she stood on the side of the street and was about to cross the street, when she suddenly felt a little cold.

A silver-gray sports car passed in front of you, sending a gust of wind. On this street, such a car is very eye-catching, and it is obviously not part of the configuration of this area.

However, it was not the car that attracted Gu Yu's attention, but the people in the car.

She felt as if she had seen this face somewhere, and before she could remember, there was a rush of motors, and the sports car in its early millions fell back with a "pop".

A man got out of the car, a man, a tall, thin, young, well-dressed man.

The man seemed to be surprised to see her, looked up and down, left and right, frowned slightly, and had an expression of "I seem to know you, but I'm not sure", and finally said hesitantly: "Gu Yu? ”

Looking at each other, Gu Yu also remembered him at this time: Han Shuyi, my brother's friend.

Han Shuyi didn't expect that he and Gu Lixia were "even if they didn't know each other", they couldn't recognize each other face to face. But when he was about to pass by, he recognized Gu Yu at a glance.

He looked at her closer, and his first thought was: this girl has really thick hair. Under the thick bangs of Qi Brush are a pair of big dark eyes, a thin chin, a small melon seed face, and two tender lips that are not thin or thick - the same as six years ago, it has not changed much, which makes him very satisfied, but it is not too long, a little short.

In fact, Gu Yu is not short, with a height of one meter and six five, he is also considered a middle among girls.

It's just that Miss Chu Xia's height is relatively sparse, Han Shu is used to her long legs, and suddenly meets such a doll-like villain, he is a little uncomfortable.

Gu Yu took a step back, was a little uncomfortable by him, frowned, and asked, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

Only then did Han Shuyi realize his gaffe, he seemed to be overly excited and nervous. And the source of his nervousness and excitement is the clean and translucent little girl in front of him.

She hasn't changed, just like she did six years ago, she really hasn't changed.

At this moment, Han Shuyi's mood was joyful and cautious, as if he saw a glimmer of hope in the endless darkness - a hope that could make up for the past, correct his mistakes, and let him no longer be endlessly self-loathing because of guilt in the days to come.

He smiled, his teeth white, and said, "I'm your brother's friend, do you remember me?" ”

The little girl nodded solemnly and said in a formulaic tone: "Remember, Han Shuyi, my brother's friend." We've seen him, and he has your picture in his album. At this point, she was a little confused, raised her chin and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Han Shuyi choked on her lukewarm attitude, and felt a little uncomfortable. But after thinking about it, since Gu Qingming's death, he didn't care about the Gu family sisters for six years, and time has passed, and he only appeared, and he can't blame the little girl for having ideas.

He scratched his head and smiled in what he thought was impeccable: "Can I talk to you?" ”

The little girl replied simply, "No!" ”

Han Shu was stunned one by one.

Gu Yu pulled the satchel on his shoulder and added, "I have to go to work." ”

He breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously, "Where do you work?" ”

Gu Yu pointed to the neon sign across the street, Han Shuyi followed her hand and looked over, and found the sign in the colorful - "Pretty Beauty Massage Parlor". His heart chuckled.

But the little girl pointed her hand down again, as if she was deliberately teasing him.

He was a little relieved, repositioned, and saw the four big red characters of "Ming Ji Noodle Restaurant", shining with vulgar fluorescence in a vulgar signboard, and his hanging heart was completely put down.

Gu Yu was obviously not interested in his inner struggle, and after pointing out, he ignored him again, carried his satchel, and walked in the direction of the noodle shop.

"Can you ask your boss for a leave of absence?" Han Shuyi followed behind, persevering.

"I can't." The little girl is still these two words.

Han Shu was anxious: "I just want to say a few words to you, it won't take up too much of your time." ”

"I can't."

As soon as Han Shu realized that this girl was as stubborn as a cow, and she didn't care about her rich and handsome image, she grabbed her thin arm like a strange uncle, and roared urgently: "I know, I was wrong in the past, and I haven't come to visit you for so many years." You complain about me in your heart, and I have nothing to say......"

Gu Yu stopped, looked at him obliquely from under his thick bangs, and pursed two lips. She is twenty-two years old, but she looks small, like a young girl with cardamom in the first bloom, and her voice is also sweet and glutinous, and when she refuses people, she is like a sugar cube with ice, and the ice is sweet, and the sweetness is still ice, and people are anxious and desperate when they hear it.

"What am I complaining about you for? We don't know each other. ”

Han Shuyi was sad, sad and at the same time felt that he deserved it, this villain must have suffered a lot, so he was full of resentment towards him.

However, the fact is that Gu Yu turned a blind eye to his guilt, and his entanglement was even more inexplicable, and he pulled his little thin arm out inch by inch from under his claws, and muttered quietly while moving away from this strange person: "You have nothing to say and still pull me to talk, you are so strange." ”

Han Shu felt that he was about to collapse, and grabbed someone's shoulder bag without thinking about it, and the little girl was defenseless and screamed in panic.

The sound was not loud, but it was enough to attract the attention of the policeman's uncle and passers-by.

The patrol uniforms walked over with torch eyes and looked at the two men: one was tall and well-dressed; A petite, weak, and pitiful.

So, the automatic brain made up some bad cases and bad pictures, and looking at Han Shuyi's eyes was like looking at a sanctimonious molester.

"Sir, please let go of this young lady. If you look like this, I can sue you for misconduct on a PR occasion. ”

Han Shuyi hurriedly let go, pointed to Gu Yu's thick bangs, and explained, "Misunderstanding, we know each other." ”

The young police officer looked at Gu Yu with inquiring eyes, and the little girl made up for it unhurriedly: "It's not very familiar." ”

The police officer stared at Han Shuyi sternly, stretched out his hand to this suspicious person, and said, "Sir, ID card, also, is that silver-gray sports car yours?" It's nice that you can't park there, please take out your driver's license......"

When Han Shu finished dealing with the police uncle, he looked around and saw that the little girl was long gone.

He found a parking space and disposed of his car, returned to the street just now, thought about it, and walked into the "Ming Ji Noodle Restaurant".

The small shop area is not large, but there are many customers, the layout is simple, the lights are bright, neat and clean, every corner is comfortable, the people who come to eat are neighbors, everyone eats and drinks, talks and laughs, and feels very warm.

Han Shuyi found a place against the wall and sat down, and ordered a bowl of signature beef brisket noodles and a few light side dishes.

He ate a lot of dinner in the old house of the Han family, and now it was too early to eat supper, he used chopsticks to pick up the noodles boringly, and tasted it casually, and the taste was actually good!

Gu Yu wore a small floral apron, and was busy in the store, and when he raised his eyes during the interval of wiping his sweat, he saw Han Shuyi sitting there, holding his chin with one hand, looking at her like an owl, and the dishes in front of him were swept away by him.

She freed her hand and teased her Qi bangs, and muttered in her heart: This person is so strange, he won't leave after eating.

Han Shuyi here was boredly counting the aperture on Gu Yu's thick hair, and thought while counting: This girl's hair is really good, fluffy, black and bright, you can shoot commercials, one, two, three......

When he counted to the fourth lap, Gu Yu walked up to him, pinched the rag in one hand and his waist in the other, and asked not very politely: "Why don't you leave yet?" ”

Han Shu took it off the table with one hand and smiled: "I'm waiting for you to get off work." ”

"It's going to be late."

"It's okay, I have time."

Gu Yu glanced at him and said ruthlessly, "Then you wait." ”

After the little girl finished speaking, she turned around lightly, and ignored him for the night, as if he were a dispensable mass of unknown objects, not even counting air, which could be used to breathe.

In short, it's not worth her time.

Han Shuyi looked helplessly at the small, ruthless, white as jade. This little girl is really simple and rude, he even invited her to eat ice cream back then, and six years later, the old man reunited, and he didn't give any face.

It was finally closed in the store, and the customers were almost scattered, and Han Shuyi sat there drowsy like a chicken pecking rice.

Brother Ming, the boss, stared at this brightly dressed boy for a night, and the more he looked at it, the more suspicious he felt, so he couldn't help but come to Gu Yu's side and asked in a low voice, "Gu Yu, who is he?" It's been all night, why does he keep staring at you? ”

Gu Yu was cleaning up the dining table and didn't stop what he was doing: "His name is Han Shuyi, he is Mr. Han's cousin, and he is also my brother's friend. ”

Brother Ming was confused: "Which Mr. Han?" ”

Gu Yu was even more confused: "Is there a second Mr. Han?" ”

Brother Ming was very surprised, the noodle restaurant was opened in such a place of three religions and nine streams, so naturally there would be some people from three mountains and five mountains to patronize it. Those mysterious and mysterious legends of the rivers and lakes, he, an honest and responsible small businessman, only listens to stories on weekdays. Unexpectedly, today's small noodle restaurant actually ushered in a legendary Han family, who is still the core leadership.

Brother Ming was beating a drum in his heart, out of the fear and vigilance of the little people against the gang members, he couldn't help but look at the young man again - handsome, dignified, and the expensive blazer was thrown on the dining table by him, which showed that he was very wealthy. Wearing a pair of tortoiseshell glasses, Sven Wen, with fine skin and tender meat, it is okay to say that he is a social elite, and it is also like a movie star, but he can't see the slightest danger on his body.

Brother Ming couldn't help but sigh, this Han family really hid it deeply: "These people are not easy to mess with, you are a little girl, you have to be careful, don't be deceived by him." Brother Ming finally concluded.

Gu Yu lowered his head and wiped the cup, and said casually: "No." ”

Brother Ming was anxious, and he was afraid that Nazun would hear it, so he lowered his voice and said, "Don't look at him as handsome and rich, you should relax your vigilance." I've been running a noodle shop on this street for so many years, and I've seen a lot of men and women, and I still understand these playboy tricks. ”

Gu Yu shook his head, still the same sentence: "No, my brother said that he is a good person." After speaking, he pursed the corners of his lips and muttered in a low voice: "But my brother didn't say it, he is so strange." ”

Brother Ming and a few guys closed the door of the store, and Han Shuyi volunteered to send Gu Yu home.

Brother Ming looked at the young master of the Han family suspiciously, but Gu Yu didn't object, and he didn't know what to say, so he whispered a few words before they dispersed.

Gu Yu and Han Shu walked side by side, he wanted to take this opportunity to chat with her, but when the opportunity came, he didn't know how to speak.

He rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and was speechless: "I saw just now that Brother Ming is very good to you." ”

Gu Yu agreed: "Well, Brother Ming is a good person. ”

Han Shuyi frowned, and found that this little girl was not wary of men at all, and couldn't help but say, "Don't look at him as honest and easy to talk to, you just relax your vigilance." I have been a lawyer for so many years and have handled many cases of weathering, and I still understand the tricks of these middle-aged men. ”

As soon as the words fell, the little girl chuckled lightly, her voice was clear, and her appearance was sweet, but there seemed to be three points of mockery and seven points of banter in the sweetness, which was very difficult to understand.

Han Shuyi was so angry with her laughter that he said in his heart: This little girl, no, it's this little aunt and grandmother, she is always so unexpected.

The noodle shop was not far from Gu Yu's home, and seeing that the destination was in front of him, Han Shuyi stopped under the street lamp, unwilling to go any further, and tossed for most of the night, he didn't say a word about what he wanted to say.

Gu Yu yawned, pointed to the dilapidated tenement building in front of him, and said flatly: "I'm here, thank you for sending me back." ”

Han Shu sighed, face to face, looked at this hard-hearted villain, held back his words all night, and finally poured it clean at once: "Gu Yu, I know, you sisters must blame me in your hearts, and you don't want to pay attention to me now." I didn't care about your brother's case back then, and I ignored you for the past six years. I'm not here to excuse myself, but to help you and do your best. ”

After listening to this, Gu Yu slowly raised her face, a pair of black and white eyes seemed to contain the mist of the night, and the evening breeze blew, blowing her thick bangs, revealing a forehead as white as jade.

The little girl pressed her hair with her hand, which was the same as Lixia's, with only four fingers.

Beautiful and weak things have always been pitied, and if there is a bit of flawedness in this beauty, then this stimulation is doubled.

The scene in front of him made Han Shu breathe for a while, and the pitiful appearance of the little girl made him feel distressed, and there was guilt in the distress, which made him hate his inaction in the past six years even more.

He said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, you must have suffered a lot in the past six years, I ......"

Han Shuyi didn't finish his words, and found that Gu Yu turned his face sideways, not knowing what he was looking at, and his attention was obviously not on him. He followed Gu Yu's gaze and saw a scantily clad young girl, getting out of the taxi, stepping on high heels, staggering towards this side, as if she had drunk too much.

Han Shu felt that this person was a little familiar, and when the girl approached, he saw the face clearly, and then he realized that it was actually Gu Lixia.

It's no wonder he can't recognize it, today's Lixia is different from the appearance in the box of the clubhouse, exaggerated smoky makeup, long hair highlighted like a rainbow, and his clothes have been changed into a black tight skirt, which is embellished with chains and rivets, and he is alive and out of the mainstream.

Looking at the red and willow-green Lixia, Han Shuyi didn't know what to say.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that the good mood of flying from outside the sky when he met Gu Yu again was hit by Lixia who was unrecognizable in front of him.

Gu Yu walked over and held Lixia's declining body. Lixia looked at his sister and smiled, full of alcohol, he was already drunk, and he didn't know who was going to work.

Han Shu came to his senses, worried that Gu Yu's small body would not be able to bear Lixia's weight, so he hurriedly walked over to help. The two of them walked into the tenement building with Lixia in their arms, and this kind of old building has no elevator, so they can only climb the stairs.

Gu Yu's rented room was on the seventh floor, and Han Shuyi was embarrassed to let the little girl suffer, so he picked up the drunk Lixia by himself, and walked up step by step.

By the time they put Lixia down on the bed, Young Master Shuyi was so tired that his legs were weak, he was covered in sweat, and he was about to be paralyzed.

Gu Yu looked at it and took a towel from the bathroom and gave it to him.

Han Shuyi took the towel, wiped his face first, and then dusted off his sleeves, the age of this tenement building is too old, the walls have been mottled and peeled off, and when he went upstairs, he rubbed a lot of white ash.

Gu Yu stood aside and watched quietly, and after he cleaned up, he poured him a glass of water.

Han Shuyi took the water cup and looked around.

The house is very small, the light is not too large, and it is basically a pigeon cage. The building on the opposite side is so close that if you stretch out your arm from the window, you can almost reach the balcony on the opposite side, and even during the day, it is difficult to let in the sunlight.

Although the space was cramped, it was clean, and the only discord was the clothes on the lower bunks, various wrap dresses, backless dresses, colorful high heels and underwear...... Messed up and threw a bed.

Han Shu could figure out with his toes who these clothes belonged to. He couldn't help but ask, "Gu Yu, have you been living with Lixia?" ”

Gu Yu shook her head: "No, she just moved back last month. ”

He asked, "Where did she live before?" ”

Gu Yu said: "I don't know, she always changes places and never tells me." ”

Han Shuyi felt strange: "Why did she come back?" He felt that no matter how Li Xia looked at it, he didn't look like a person who would like to live in such a place.

The facts are just as he expected, Gu Yu said: "She was kicked out by a man, she said it herself." ”

Gu Lixia turned over on the bed, his mouth was full of thoughts, as if he was talking drunk, and as if he was scolding someone, foul language, and dirty mouths, the ladylike cultivation cultivated by years of higher education has long been wiped out in the six years of street grinding.

Han Shuyi looked at her deeply and sighed silently.

Gu Yu turned around and picked up an apple from the table and handed it to Han Shuyi: "Do you want to eat an apple?" I have two, I can give you one. ”

Han Shuyi waved his hand: "No, I don't want to eat." ”

The little girl said "um", put the apple aside, ignored him, sat down at the desk, moved the cosmetics that Lixia had placed on the table aside, turned on the computer, and browsed today's news.

Han Shuyi, who was standing in the middle of the house, was a little dumbfounded. It took him a long time to help her carry her sister up, and such a big living person stood in the house, so she left him here? Is this girl dissatisfied with him and unwilling to deal with him? Or does she simply not understand these most basic human feelings?

Han Shuyi looked at her quietly, and saw that Gu Yu's demeanor was calm, and he was not at all uncomfortable, as if it was a matter of course to leave a big living person there in the cold. Before, he was carried away by the joy of reunion, and he hadn't thought about many things carefully, but now that he calmed down, he felt that Gu Yu's words and demeanor were indescribably weird. But what's wrong? He couldn't say it for a moment.

Han Shuyi lowered his head and thought about it, and asked the person who was sitting there watching the news intently: "Gu Yu, Lixia came back yesterday, did he tell you anything?" ”

Gu Yu's attention was still focused on the computer, and when he heard this, he nodded: "I said, she said that she met you and her sister-in-law's brother in the club in Beicheng New District, and said that you were sitting together talking and laughing, and that your Han family and Ye family were all bastards." That's about it. ”

Han Shu's face was hot, and he couldn't hold it anymore. He looked at the drunk and unconscious Lixia, and compared his heart to his heart, he could imagine her mood at that time.

Six years ago, he went to visit Gu's house, and Lixia was very close to him at that time, always following him and calling "Brother Han, Brother Han". He often gives her gifts, and the little girl has a sweet mouth, can talk, and is very good at pleasing him.

On the contrary, Gu Yu has been hiding in the corner, rarely speaking, and always has an expression of "don't bother me, I don't want to pay attention to you".

Six years later, things are wrong, he met her in the Han family's clubhouse, she was the female public relations who accompanied the wine, and he ...... They are drinking and talking to the enemies who have harmed their sisters.

What was she thinking the moment she saw him in the box? The two of them looked at each other, but he didn't recognize her, what was she thinking? Seeing him toast to Ye Nianze in celebration, how did she feel in her heart?

If it is a sin not to save when he sees death, if it is a sin to watch his old friend's sister in dire straits, and not to act for six years, he is indeed an unforgivable sin.

Gu Yu glanced at him, felt that he seemed to be very uncomfortable, and thought that he had an obligation to comfort him, so he said to him: "You don't have to care, she has always spoken without her brain." And ......," she looked at him earnestly, "I think you're pretty good-looking, not at all like an animal." ”

Han Shu couldn't laugh or cry.

Lixia woke up at this time, sat up, put on his slippers, and staggered over, as if he wanted to go to the bathroom, and when he passed by Han Shuyi's side, he said "Huh" in surprise: "How can there be a man?" Squinted for a while, and giggled, "I'm not dreaming, Han Shuyi, my brother's good friend, you finally remembered us." Oh...... By the way, we met in the club in the new district before, you are the owner of the club, and I am your escort lady. ”

Han Shu opened his mouth and couldn't say a word.

Lixia raised that ghostly face, squinted his hazy drunken eyes, grabbed Shuyi's collar, pulled him down, and looked closer: "What? You don't recognize me? That's right, it's been six years, and you've had a good time in the Han family, where do you remember us. Aren't your Han family and surnamed Ye so good that they all wear a pair of pants now? Aren't you going to do business together? So what are you still coming to us for? ”

Han Shuyi was a little embarrassed by her questioning, Lixia was already drunk and confused, and he used all the usual sprinkling skills, sticking to him like an octopus, pushing her away, not pushing.

The scene in front of her was so embarrassing that even Gu Yu couldn't stand it, she left the desk and walked over to relieve the siege, wanting to pull her sister away from Han Shuyi.

However, she is small, her strength is smaller, and she is shorter than Lixia, so it has no effect after pulling for a long time, so she can only be anxious: "Don't be like this, he came to see us." ”

Lixia laughed, slapped Han Shuyi's face with his slender jade hand dyed with red Kodan, patted the left side, patted the right side, and said, "Where were you when my brother died?" Now run to pretend to be a good person, what a thing! ”

She had had enough of playing before she pushed him away, stumbling backwards while pointing her finger at him: "One by one, all fucking bastards, all men are bastards!" ”

Han Shu was speechless, but Gu Yu couldn't listen to it anymore, and said to her sister: "Don't scold him, my brother committed suicide, and it has nothing to do with him." ”

Lixia had already walked to the edge of the toilet, and when he heard Gu Yu's words, he held on to the door frame and couldn't stand up with a smile: "You little idiot, you know a fart!" You don't even know why we are the unlucky person we are today, you don't understand anything, you are an idiot......"

Before she finished speaking, she shook her body, covered her mouth with her hands, rushed into the toilet, and vomited into the toilet with a "vomit".

Han Shu straightened the glasses on the bridge of his nose and rubbed his face, at this moment, his brain seemed to have been poured into a pot of paste, and it was a mess.

The Lixia in front of him was beyond his imagination, he felt like a passer-by, but he was not facing a long road, but a black fog, a bunch of tangled mess. Nowhere to focus, nowhere to start.

Gu Yu stood there alone, looking at him a little pitifully, she could feel this person's sadness, and this sadness was caused by her sister.

He has a good heart, but he wants to be insulted by Lixia, in fact, what's wrong with him? The brother died, and they were forced to leave their homes, and he did not cause this.

Gu Yu knew that Lixia's behavior was wrong, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

The little girl looked around, turned around and picked up the apple that had been placed on the table before, handed it to Han Shuyi, who looked dull, and said to him, "Do you want to eat the apple?" I have two, I can give you one. ”

He suddenly came back to his senses, looked at her stunned, instantly thought of something, and his face was full of shock.

Gu Lixia, who was lying on the toilet, heard the movement outside and laughed again, his voice was harsh. She tore a piece of tissue and wiped her mouth, and shouted outside the door: "You go on quickly, otherwise she will be endless, she just looks normal, but in fact, she has a sick brain." Everyone in the neighborhood knows that she can get a job, because people look at her pitifully, you really think she's so likable......"

A few days later, the study of the Han family's old house.

Compared to Han Tang's radiant look, Han Shuyi was a little listless, his face was full of gloom, and his chin still had blue stubble, as if he hadn't rested well for a few days.

Han Tang, who was sitting opposite, glanced at him and threw a folder on the desk: "This is the modification proposed by the Ye family according to our contract, you take it back and take a good look." ”

As soon as Han Shu opened it, he flipped through it casually, and nodded: "It's all some small problems in the corners, I'll take it back and revise it, and the final contract is estimated to be finalized in two days." ”

"That's good." Han Tang nodded, took a sip of the teacup, and after putting it down, he said, "I saw Ye Nianze today and mentioned to him about the Gu family sisters. He was quite cheerful, and said to me, it has been a long time since that incident, and their Ye family is not such a stingy person, let us do whatever we want. ”

After hearing this, Han Shuyi put down the document in his hand, smiled, and said sarcastically: "He can pretend to be generous, six years ago, I begged him like that, and his hand didn't let go." Now that things have changed, he is very high-spirited, and this man is very hypocritical. ”

Han Tang sighed: "He has always been like this, a needle in the face, a knife in a smile." 'Hutchison' is different from us, street gangs, rabble, and internal factions are very complicated. When he took over the Ye family's faction back then, how many people disobeyed him, and in the end, they were all settled by him bloodlessly. Ye Nianze is a social genius, as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when you reach out, and many people are like this. ”

"Now that we know he's such a person, do we still want to cooperate with him?"

"Because we have common interests, that infrastructure project, we don't have enough money to swallow ourselves. They have the money, we have the connections, and it's a win-win. ”

Han Shu nodded, and the exchanges between families were the same as between countries. Only based on preferences, regardless of gains and losses, everything is extreme and absolute, that is a child, and adults have to look at interests.

Han Tang glanced at Han Shu and said, "No matter what he thought in the past, now he values this project more." Since he agreed so happily, you just have to do it. Even if he regrets it in the future, he will be nameless. ”

Han Shuyi lowered his head and didn't speak, Han Tang observed his expression and asked strangely, "What's wrong?" The problem is solved, and you are not happy? ”

Han Shuyi shook his head and whispered, "It's too late......"

"What's too late?"

"It's Lixia, I asked someone to find out, she has been with a lot of men in recent years, at first I thought she was just promiscuous, but I didn't expect that she still has a drug addiction." Han Shuyi held his forehead uncomfortably and whispered, "So, it's too late." ”

Han Tang was stunned for a moment and sighed: "Since this is the case, what are your plans?" Do you still want to care about her? Don't say I didn't remind you, a woman whose lower body is numb, you can't expect her to understand what courtesy, righteousness and shame are, a person who doesn't even have a sense of integrity, how can you save it? ”

Han Shu felt uncomfortable for a while when he heard this, and he slowed down before he spoke: "I remember, she used to be very well-behaved when she was in school, she was beautiful, and her grades were good. Every time I go to Gu's house, she surrounds me, and I love her very much. Speaking of this, Han Shuyi looked up at Han Tang with a slightly confused expression, "But in the box that day, I didn't even recognize her." If Gu Qingming hadn't had an accident, she should have a good future. Today's situation is caused by many people and many reasons, and all the faults cannot be blamed on a little girl. ”

Han Tang disagreed: "This is not an excuse for depravity, there are more people who are worse than her, not everyone will take drugs and have promiscuity." Just because she's unfortunate doesn't mean she's justified. ”

Han Shuyi looked at Han Tang helplessly: "Brother, the five fingers are not the same, and people's personalities are also strong and weak. Don't compare everyone to Chu Xia, if she were a cowardly girl, you wouldn't value her so much, would you? ”

Han Tang was drinking tea, and suddenly heard the name, and the tea almost choked on his throat. He put down the glass of water, lit his cousin with his hand, and gritted his teeth: "Whoever compares with her, it is a psychopath!" I'm telling you, don't mention her to me again! It's angry when you think about it! ”

Han Shu looked at Han Tang with an angry face on his face, and could probably guess that these two people were pinched again.

This is not unusual, Han Tang quarreling with Chu Xia is like drinking water and eating, this is the daily life of the Han family's old mansion, and the people below are used to it, not to mention his cousin.

He helped these two people calculate: basically a small quarrel for three days, a big quarrel for five days, every double is reconciled, every single must be pinched, if you can live together smoothly and steadily for a week, then it is called fresh.

If it was usual, he would still be interested in asking the reason, and teased his cousin a few words by the way, but at the moment, he really didn't have this mood.

The moment he learned that Gu Lixia was taking drugs, Han Shuyi's heart was still more guilty than disappointed, as if it was his own fault that person had come to such an unbearable point.

He is a lawyer, usually handles cases, and has seen too many intricate stories. Everyone has a past behind them, and the deeper they get in touch with this society, the more they understand that poor people must have something to hate, but reality sometimes reverses.

People are poor and short-minded, and the country is poor and chaotic, which is the most helpless thing in the world. The weak are not justified, but after clarifying the causes behind those tragedies, he will still sympathize. So he doesn't think that he is qualified to judge Gu Lixia's right or wrong from the highest point of morality, he is not her, he doesn't know what she has experienced, because he has not experienced it, so he is not qualified. Besides, she didn't kill people and set fires, from beginning to end, she only ruined herself, which was just deplorable, not an unforgivable sin.

After a while, Han Shu sighed and said, "It's better to find a drug rehabilitation center and find a way to send people in, so that she can also be separated from her sister, otherwise it will not be good for Gu Yu after a long time."

Han Tang looked at him: "You seem to feel good about this sister." ”

Thinking of the experience that night, Han Shu smiled bitterly: "This girl hasn't changed much. It's just that after this reunion, I found that something was wrong with her, and after checking it, I found out that Gu Yu was ......," he figured out the words, "there was a bit of a problem." ”

"What's the problem?"

Han Shuyi pointed to his brain: "The problem here." ”

Han Tang was surprised: "Mentally retarded? ”

"No, the little girl's IQ is normal, but in some ways, she is not the same as ordinary people, it is a relatively rare disease, and there is only a 7 in 1,000 chance in newborns."

"Autism?"

Han Shuyi shook his head: "Some of the symptoms are a bit similar to autism, but they are not the same, it is a communication disorder, and her communication channel is not on the same line as ordinary people." Speaking of this, he couldn't help sighing, "I finally understand now why Gu Qingming protected this sister so much when she was alive, and rarely even let her talk to outsiders, probably because she was afraid that she would be hurt if she had too much contact with the outside world." ”

Han Tang lowered his head and thought for a while: "If that's the case, how has she lived in the past six years?" Does her sister take care of her? ”

Han Shuyi's expression was gloomy, and he whispered, "No, Lixia has never taken care of her. For so many years, she has lived alone, normal people are very difficult, and it is even more difficult for her. ”
