Chapter 53: The Dusty Secret

Chu Yize walked up to Gu Qiaorong and stopped, and said with a smile: "Qiaorong, oh no, am I telling you to be more polite to Mrs. Su." Long time no see! It's a small world! We'll actually meet at the annual meeting of SARA. ”

"Chu ...... Chu Yize. Gu Qiaorong was already weak-hearted, and after hearing about Jing Wenyan and Ye Wei'an being together, he was especially flustered when he saw Chu Yize, and he was a little incoherent for a while.

"What's wrong? Old schoolmates. It's been 10 years since we've seen each other, but you're not so excited to see me! Chu Yize said lightly.

Ono Haoyi stepped forward to greet Chu Yize, trying to break the embarrassment, "Mr. Chu, I have admired my name for a long time." My surname is Ono, and this is my business card. ”

Chu Yize took the business card, glanced at it and said: "It turned out to be the chairman of the Ono Foundation, and Chu is the long-admired name, which is rude." Mr. Ono and Mrs. Sue are ......"

Ono smiled and said polite words in the officialdom: "If Mr. Chu asks me what my relationship with Mrs. Su is, it is better to ask me what my relationship is with the Su family." Lintian International, which is run by the Su family, has always been a strong partner of our Ono consortium. This time, the Su family wants to enter the D City market, so we naturally have to help. ”

"Oh? It turns out that the Su family wants to enter the D City market, could it be that Mr. Su plans to hand over this part of D City to Mrs. Su? Chu Yize turned to Gu Qiaorong.

Before Gu Qiaorong could speak, Ono Koichi answered for her first: "That's right!" ”

"Then please take care of Mrs. Su, maybe we will have a lot of opportunities for cooperation in the future." Chu Yize said and changed the red wine glass to his left hand, stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Gu Qiaorong.

Gu Qiaorong was still immersed in the panic of worrying about the secret being revealed, and lowered his head unmoved. Chu Yize withdrew his hand a little embarrassed and said, "Mrs. Su seems to be a little absent-minded today, is she not feeling well?" ”

"No, no." Gu Qiaorong turned his head away and didn't look at Chu Yize's eyes. She felt that tonight, every word Chu Yize said to her was like a mockery and threat. He always seemed to remind her that he still had her handle in his hand, and he held the secrets she wanted to rot in her stomach.

The atmosphere was a little unpleasant, and at this moment, Chi Zhan, the director of SARA, walked over like Koichi Ono and said with a smile: "Ono, it turns out that you are here." Mr. Chu is also here, does Mr. Chu know Ono? ”

"Director Chi." Chu Yize greeted with a smile, "I don't know Mr. Ono well, but I had some friendship with this Mrs. Su in my early years, and I met Mr. Ono through Mrs. Su." ”

Chi Zhan smiled and raised his wine glass to salute Chu Yize, "Mr. Chu's connections are really wide!" The Su family's reputation in City C is not small, and Mr. Chu can actually have a friendship with them. ”

This drinking party, where everyone had their own thoughts and an awkward atmosphere, was finally over. After leaving the hotel where the banquet was held, Chu Yize found that it was raining outside. Chu Yize hit it casually, returned to the hotel where he was staying, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the water marks in the glass window, and lit a cigarette. Gu Qiaorong! It's been a long time!

He vaguely remembered that when he wrote the report about Jing Hongwen, she had begged him in a low voice. That day, it rained like this! With such a similar scene, the memories imprinted in Chu Yize's mind gradually coincided with reality, leading him into memories!

That day, she wore a black trench coat and a black hat, and melted herself into the night like a female spy to avoid people's eyes, "Yize, I beg you, my brother-in-law has been ruined, can you not blow up that matter?" Can you give my brother-in-law a way to live, and also give me a way to live? ”

"Qiaorong, when you and Jing Hongwen were doing those things, did you think about giving yourself a way out? I'm a journalist and my job is to document the facts! Chu Yize said lightly.

"No!" Gu Qiaorong's screams were particularly poignant in the rainy night, she took two steps forward, grabbed his sleeve tightly, and pleaded: "Yize, can you think about it for me?" If you blow that out, how are you going to make me face my sister? And also...... Su Zhiqian won't let me go! Yize, you can't do this to me! ”

"Qiaorong, when you were doing these things, did you ever think about how you would face your sister and how you would face Su Zhiqian? You've done everything, so why should you be afraid of things being exposed? Chu Yize's attitude was a little resolute!

"Yize, Yize, I beg you! I'm on your knees! Gu Qiaorong knelt on the ground with a thud, reached out and pinched the hem of Chu Yize's suit, and said with tears in his eyes: "I beg you!" For the sake of our old classmates, shall you? You help me! ”

Gu Qiaorong did this, and Chu Yize was a little soft-hearted. After all, he was an old classmate, and he couldn't bear to push her into a corner, so he sighed, picked up the press release on the table, picked up the lighter on the table, lit the corner of the paper, threw the burning paper into the empty trash can in the corner, and said lightly: "Gu Qiaorong, you can do it yourself!" ”

It was twenty years ago, and that day she saw him burn the press releases and thanked him repeatedly. After that, the scandal about Jing Hongwen was hyped to an astonishing heat, and Jing Hongwen was suddenly pointed out by thousands of people! Twenty years ago, when there was no Internet, even the writer Chu Yize didn't expect things to develop like this! Later, Jing Hongwen committed suicide, and he resigned with the guilt of forcing Jing Hongwen to suicide with his press release, and gave up the profession of journalist, which he liked very much!

He didn't see Gu Qiaorong again for many years after that, and it wasn't until ten years ago, when Jing Hongwen's widow Gu Qiaoyun was seriously ill, that he went to visit and saw Gu Qiaorong again. This time, her attitude towards him is not the low-key attitude of the year! She, like her sister, put on a look of hating him to the bone and kicked him out of the ward.

Later, Gu Qiaoyun died of illness, and Gu Qiaorong took Jing Wenyan from D City. I haven't seen you for another 10 years! HE HADN'T EXPECTED TO MEET HER AT A SALA PARTY. Looking at the panicked look she faced him, was she still afraid that he had the secret she had in his hands?

At this moment, the phone in the room rang, bringing Chu Yize's thoughts back to reality, he picked up the phone, it was the front desk call, the front desk lady said very politely: "Mr. Chu, there is a Ms. Gu here who is said to be your friend, and wants to check your room number, do you know this person?" ”

"Ms. Gu?" Chu Yize repeated, this is probably thinking that Cao Cao Cao will arrive! "She's my friend, you let her come up!"

Two minutes later, Gu Qiaorong appeared in Chu Yize's room. Chu Yize poured her a glass of water and asked lightly: "Mrs. Su was cold to me at the drinking party just now, and she didn't even want to shake hands with me, why did she come to the door after the drinking party?" ”

"Don't call me Mrs. Su, you know, I don't like that!" Gu Qiaorong frowned.

Chu Yize shook his head and chuckled, "In the past twenty years, although I haven't had much direct contact with you, I have heard a lot of rumors about you and Su Zhiqian. It is said that how you and Su Zhiqian worked together to make Lintian International develop rapidly and become a world-renowned jeweler. I thought that after twenty years, you and Su Zhiqian should always have some feelings! Are you pretending to be all this? ”

"Yize, we're old classmates! When we were at the same table in high school, I was the best with you! What kind of attitude I have towards feelings, you should know very well! You should also know very well why I married Su Zhiqian! Speaking of the sad past, Gu Qiaorong was a little excited, and her voice trembled slightly.

"I know!" Chu Yize nodded lightly, "It's precisely because I know and have some sympathy for you that I will let that press release that can ruin everything for you turn to ashes, isn't it?" But Gu Qiaorong, you are close to me in the name of an old classmate, but you avoid me on the other side! Isn't that fun? ”

"I ...... I, Yize, I'm just too scared! Although the incident was not made public, it ...... I've barely slept a single sound sleep in the past 20 years! That thing has been tormenting me! Gu Qiaorong said and shed tears that she didn't know what they meant, she took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her eyes.

"If you don't want anyone to know, you can't do it unless you do." Chu Yize said lightly, looking at Gu Qiaorong's current appearance, he was glamorous in front of people, but he was so embarrassed in the back! But Chu Yize didn't feel sorry for her, he just felt that she was very pathetic, because everything today was made by herself!

"Yize, you...... You're still going to keep it a secret for me, aren't you? Gu Qiaorong asked hesitantly.

"I'm not a journalist anymore! I'm too lazy to do such a boring thing! Chu Yize said lukewarmly: "But what are you afraid of now?" Your beloved sister is long gone! And when you come to D City to develop, you will basically get rid of Su Zhiqian's shackles! What else are you afraid of? ”

"Although my sister is gone, Wen Yan ...... that child" Gu Qiaorong deliberately only said half of the words.

"Yes. If your nephew knows what the aunt who raised him when he was orphaned did something back then, it is estimated that his worldview will collapse several times! Chu Yize walked to the window, turned his back to Gu Qiaorong and said, "Don't worry!" I won't say a word to him! Not for you, though! Back then, I forced Jing Hongwen to a dead end with a single thought, causing the child to lose his father. Now, I don't want to hurt that kid anymore! ”

"That'...... Then I'll make you promise me! "In that case, I'll go first!" After getting Chu Yize's promise, Gu Qiaorong left the hotel and stepped into the rainy night with an umbrella, the expression on his face gradually became cold! She has finally come to this point, she can leave Su Zhiqian in the name of developing her business, and she will never allow anyone to get in her way! That secret, she wants to keep it in the dust forever!
