Chapter 179: Gu Yaohui's choice
"You asked me not to tell your aunt to go to great lengths to call me out just so that I could sit here and watch you turn the teaspoon without saying a word with a gloomy face?" In the café, Gu Yaohui slowly picked up the cup, took a sip of coffee, looked at Jing Wenyan, who looked at him with a dull gaze as if unconsciously playing with a teaspoon.
Jing Wenyan didn't reply, and silently put down the teaspoon. He opened his carry-on backpack, took out Jing Hongwen's diary from it and put it in front of Gu Yaohui.
"It's ...... Hirofumi's diary? Gu Yaohui's eyes widened, he had seen this book too many times, he only glanced at the cover and didn't open it to see the contents, so he concluded that this was Jing Hongwen's diary. Didn't you say you couldn't find it? Where did you find this book? ”
"Got it by chance...... A friend of Wei'an has relatives who work in the police station.,It's said that the police department found this book when it was renovating the archives and sorting out the materials.。 Jing Wenyan hesitated, but still hid the part where Su Wenxuan hid the book.
"That's a coincidence!" Gu Yaohui picked up the notebook as he spoke, and couldn't wait to turn to the last few pages with words. He desperately wanted to know what happened to Jing Hongwen during his business trip, how could a good person become a handful of yellow soil, and he was also deducted from a suicide hat? At the end, Gu Yaohui put down his notebook and fell into silence. He finally knew why Jing Wenyan was so abnormal today!
The sky outside the window is gloomy, the gray clouds in the low sky, the black pressure is overwhelming, and the mood is always bad and uncomfortable in such weather. There were a lot fewer customers in the café than usual. The two of them were relatively silent for a long time, but Jing Wenyan spoke first. "Uncle, I really don't know what to do now? I didn't know what the truth was, and I didn't even dare to explore what it was. Because I'm afraid...... I'm afraid of the truth and I don't want to see it! His slow-sounding voice was low and hoarse, and it felt strangely distant, desolate, and empty in this café where there were few people.
"Have you shown this book to Wen Xuan?" Gu Yaohui asked softly, with a lingering sigh in that question.
"I ......" Jing Wenyan paused and shook his head, "I didn't show her." But the friend who gave us the book, Wen Xuan, also knew him. Maybe...... He showed her! ”
There was silence for another half hour, and time passed minute by minute, as if a century had passed. Just when Jing Wenyan felt that Gu Yaohui couldn't speak, and wanted to say something to break the silence, Gu Yaohui faintly spit out three words, "Check it!" ”
"What?" Jing Wenyan almost suspected that he had heard it wrong!
"I said, 'Check it up! There should be an explanation for Hongfumi's death. Gu Yaohui's eyes were very dark and deep, bottomless like a black hole, and it was difficult to get a glimpse of even half of his emotions from them.
"But ......"
Gu Yaohui took a sip of the cup and said slowly, "My younger sister has been very thoughtful since she was a child, and she is always obsessed with doing things, and she vows not to give up until she achieves her goal. Qiaoyun and I both felt that we couldn't figure her out, so we always didn't take her with us when we went out. She doesn't care, she always stays alone, doing her own thing. At that time, our family had money, so to speak, what we wanted, and others always respected us when they saw us, so we never worried about having no friends. But I've never seen any friends who have made friends! When she was in high school, she had the best relationship with Chu Yize, but even Chu Yize, she never had a heart-to-heart. ”
Gu Yaohui paused, sighed, and continued: "For so many years, Qiaorong has always begged for benevolence, and the only thing she can't ask for is your father. She fell in love with Hongwen at first sight, and I knew that. But Hongwen doesn't like her, but your mother. It just so happened that at that time, your grandfather's business failed and he owed a lot of foreign debts, so your grandfather thought of marrying to resolve the crisis. So she hastily married Su Zhiqian. At that time, I was still relieved, thinking that even if she was very obsessed, she knew that emotional things could barely come! But I didn't expect that she never gave up, but ...... after Hongwen had become her brother-in-law."
Gu Yaohui shook his head, and then said: "Now that I think about it, maybe there is only herself in Gu Qiaorong's world, and everyone and everything needs to be transferred by her will. With such a selfish person, why do we need to think about any flesh and blood affection? Hongwen's death, she must give me an explanation! It's just that I pity Wen Xuan's child, that's really a good child, why is it her daughter? ”
"But uncle, after so many years, how can you find out? Where do you start? Jing Wenyan said with some embarrassment.
"Let's start with her!" Gu Yaohui said and clicked on the diary! "I'm a little curious about what my sister has done all these years!"
Su Wenxuan and Ye Wei'an watched the concert last night and saw that it was half the night, and it was cloudy outside the window today, so Su Wenxuan, who had nothing to do, let herself sleep in the room for a long time, and when she woke up, it was already afternoon. She had washed up and had breakfast, which might be more appropriate for lunch. Back in the room, Su Wenxuan opened her suitcase and went to find the book she had put inside. The moment she opened the box, Su Wenxuan noticed that something was wrong, and the book she put on the top was gone! Jing Hongwen's diary! The reason why she put the book on the top is so that she can confirm that it is still intact every day when she opens the box!
But the box is obviously locked, how can anyone ...... How could she forget, this box was bought by Jing Wenyan, and the passwords were all set by Jing Wenyan! She also opened this box in front of Ye Wei'an, and she didn't shy away from it at all! So Ye Wei'an may already know the password of this box!
Su Wenxuan rushed out of the room, Ye Wei'an was sitting on the sofa and holding an iPad to watch the drama! Su Wenxuan walked over, hesitated for a moment and asked, "The ...... Sister-in-law, did you enter the study today? ”
"No! You've been staying in the study, don't you know if I've been in or not? What's wrong? Ye Wei'an asked confusedly.
"Oh, it's fine. It is...... It's just that I can't find something! I want to ask if you see it! Su Wenxuan casually made up nonsense. Ye Wei'an has been with her last night, and she hasn't entered the study today, so it must not be her! If it's not Ye Wei'an, then it's only ...... Jing Wenyan!
"After we left last night, your brother might have gone in! Wait until your brother comes back and ask her! I don't know where he has gone. It's going to rain in a while, and I don't know if he brought an umbrella! Ye Wei'an said as he looked out the window.
As if to cooperate with Ye Wei'an, as soon as her words fell, a lightning bolt crossed the sky, thunder came, and then it rained. The rain fluttered on the leaves and the walls, like a thread, and it was constantly dripping low.
About a quarter of an hour later, Jing Wenyan entered the door, his glasses, hair, and clothes were all covered with rain, obviously without an umbrella, and he sneezed as soon as he entered the door.
"I didn't look at the weather forecast when I went out! You are not afraid of catching a cold on such a cold day! Ye Wei'an said as he went to get him a towel, "Come, wipe it quickly!" ”
"You're talking about me now! I don't know who it is, I basically don't look at the weather forecast when I go out when I go to school, and I have to borrow an umbrella every time I don't bring an umbrella! Jing Wenyan remembered the scene when he borrowed Ye Wei'an's umbrella and smiled slightly.
"Nasty!" Ye Wei'an pursed her lips and said coquettishly.
"That's it! I'm going to change my clothes! Go get me something to eat, I haven't eaten at noon, I'm starving!" Jing Wenyan said and hugged Ye Wei'an.
"Hey, you're wet all over, don't hug me!" Ye Wei'an protested dissatisfiedly, "Okay, okay, go cook wontons for you!" My mother recommended to me the wonton stew from the supermarket downstairs of her house, which is said to be delicious. ”
Jing Wenyan came out after changing his clothes, and Ye Wei'an was still busy in the kitchen. Jing Wenyan smiled slightly and sat on the sofa.
Su Wenxuan hesitated for a moment, walked up to Jing Wenyan, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you...... Did you move my box? ”
Jing Wenyan didn't deny it, and said calmly: "Found out so soon? It's not a good idea for me to move your box without your permission! But Wen Xuan, why did I do this, you should know very well! What you yourself hid, you know better! ”
"I ...... I'm just ......" Su Wenxuan lowered her head and wanted to explain.
"Just trying to shield your mother." Jing Wenyan chuckled, "Really? ”
"I ......" Su Wenxuan wanted to explain, but found that there was no way to explain it at all! Just said lightly, "I'm sorry!" ”
"That's it! I don't blame you! It's just that this book will be kept by me from now on! Jing Wenyan lowered his eyes and rubbed his notebook and said.
"Brother, you ...... What are you going to do? ”
"You don't need to know." Jing Wenyan said lightly.
"You're still blaming me!" The corners of Su Wenxuan's lips were filled with a hint of bitterness, "Brother, can you understand me?" She's my mom after all! It is said that in this life, you can choose anything, and the only one you can't choose is your parents! As her daughter, I can't help it! ”
Looking at Su Wenxuan's appearance, Jing Wenyan was a little unbearable. His attitude softened, hugged Su Wenxuan gently, and patted her on the back, "I know, I really don't blame you!" It's just this thing, you don't want to be involved! I don't want you to be embarrassed, understand? I have already told my uncle about this, and he and I have our own decision. ”
Jing Wenyan didn't say it explicitly, but Su Wenxuan knew that Jing Wenyan would not choose to seal the truth like her! "Well, I don't care! But brother, I hope you can think more about her benefits before you do things! During the years you were in our family, she didn't treat you badly! ”
"But if it weren't for her, I wouldn't be without a home." After Jing Wenyan finished speaking, he got up from the sofa and went straight to the kitchen to see his wonton stew, obviously not wanting to continue to discuss this topic with Su Wenxuan.
