Chapter 174: Temptation
Su Wenxuan remembered that Jing Wenyan said that Jing Hongwen's death date was September 16, which means that the content of this page of the diary was written on the day of Jing Hongwen's death. Looking at the tone in his diary, it is indeed as Gu Yaohui said, and he has no intention of committing suicide. He had no hatred for Chu Yize, but instead took this incident as an opportunity to start over after bravely facing the mistakes of the past.
But Jing Hongwen died in the end! If he didn't commit suicide, then he was...... Homicide! Even if the murderer didn't kill Jing Hongwen directly, at least what the murderer said to him made Jing Hongwen choose to commit suicide in the end. Either way, Jing Hongwen's death is inseparable from the person he saw after writing this diary!
And Jing Hongwen's diary mentions that the person he met was...... Gu Qiaorong! Could it be ...... Su Wenxuan didn't dare to think about this possibility at all. Maybe Jing Hongwen met someone else after meeting Gu Qiaorong!
How could her mother be a murderer? What's more, the man who died was his own father! Gu Qiaorong is deeply in love with Jing Hongwen, and she does not hesitate to compete with her own sister in order to be with Jing Hongwen! So she would never do anything to hurt Jing Hongwen!
Right! It must be like this! Jing Hongwen also met someone else after Gu Qiaorong! That person killed Jing Hongwen and disguised himself as a suicide!
But...... Jing Wenyan said that Jing Hongwen left a suicide note when he died. If he killed, where did the suicide note come from? Did the killer forge the suicide note? But how easy is it to imitate Jing Hongwen's handwriting and deceive these relatives who get along with him day and night?
If you are good at imitating handwriting, Gu Qiaorong is extremely good at imitating other people's handwriting! Su Wenxuan had seen Gu Qiaorong imitate Su Zhiqian's handwriting, and it was not bad at all! Su Wenxuan sighed, why did the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter had nothing to do with Gu Qiaorong!
Su Wenxuan's hands tightly clasped the leather cover of the diary, so hard that her knuckles turned white. She thought for a long time, got up and put the diary in the compartment of her suitcase, and left it locked. This diary can't be seen by Jing Wenyan or Ye Wei'an.
Su Wenxuan couldn't help but be glad that He Zhijian was drunk with Jing Wenyan today, so they didn't see this diary together. Jing Wenyan already has a lot of problems with Gu Qiaorong in his heart because of the ambiguous relationship between Gu Qiaorong and Jing Hongwen! As a daughter, she was still suspicious of Gu Qiaorong when she saw this diary, let alone Jing Wenyan?
This matter should perhaps be asked by Gu Qiaorong in person. But...... If this matter is really related to Gu Qiaorong, will Gu Qiaorong tell her the truth?
Outside the curtains, a bright light suddenly flashed in the sky, illuminating the whole room as bright as day, and the deafening sound of thunder was heard in the ears. This was followed by the roar of heavy rain. Su Wenxuan opened the curtains and was a little surprised to see the water marks on the glass window that continued to flow down in streams, and the heavy rain outside the window that fell densely on the ground like needles to form one water circle after another.
But it's only late February, and it's raining! It's not a silent spring rain, but a downpour in the middle of summer! This is extremely rare in D City! Su Wenxuan remembered the heavy rain written by Jing Hongwen in her diary, was it also such a heavy rain that night? What really happened that night? Thinking of this, Su Wenxuan felt irritable and closed the curtains again.
For the next period of time, Su Wenxuan always thought about the diary and couldn't sleep at night, she felt very confused, and wanted to find someone to discuss, but there was no one to say! After about a week, Su Wenxuan finally made up her mind and went to find Gu Qiaorong.
Su Wenxuan stood under Gu Qiaorong's office building, took out her mobile phone and dialed Gu Qiaorong's number.
"Wen Xuan? What's wrong? Gu Qiaorong, who was sitting in the office, saw her daughter's phone, and her eyes softened a little.
"Mom, are you busy at work? I went out shopping and walked downstairs to your unit. If you're not busy, let's have afternoon tea together! Su Wenxuan pretended to be nothing.
"Good! Wait, I'll go down. Gu Qiaorong put down the phone and took his coat and walked out.
Sitting inside Starbucks, Su Wenxuan lowered her head and stirred the caramel macchiato in front of her with a teaspoon without saying a word.
"What's wrong? It looks like you're not in a good mood. Gu Qiaorong asked with concern.
"It's nothing. It is...... Come to think of it, it's been months since I've been back! My uncle came back when I first came back, and he said that my dad didn't necessarily commit suicide. Brother said that he would investigate again, but then he had Qi Xiao's case, and it was difficult to protect himself, so how could he still have the energy to investigate Dad's matter. Until now, Dad is still being held to commit suicide! Su Wenxuan said and sighed.
Referring to Jing Hongwen's death, Gu Qiaorong's hand holding the coffee cup trembled, and a few drops of coffee were sprinkled on the table, and Gu Qiaorong hurriedly wiped it with a tissue paper. "Your dad has been gone for so many years, and now it makes no sense to pursue these things anymore!"
Su Wenxuan's eyes flashed almost invisibly, but they returned to normal in an instant. "If you have an unwarranted stigma on your back, I'm afraid that my father will die blindly!" Su Wenxuan said faintly: "By the way, Mom, I have never asked you, what kind of person is Dad?" ”
"Your dad he'...... Handsome, handsome, mature and steady, very gentlemanly, and very romantic. After all these years, most of your dad's photos are gone. Wen Yan is very similar to him, and his facial features are almost the same as his! At the mention of her former lover, Gu Qiaorong had a smile on the corner of her lips, and her eyes flashed with light, like a girl who was pregnant with spring!
"You love him so much." Su Wenxuan said with a light smile that she could read a strong love from Gu Qiaorong's expression when she mentioned Jing Hongwen, so she couldn't imagine that Gu Qiaorong had anything to do with Jing Hongwen's death. What kind of reason can make a person hurt the person he loves deeply.
"Of course, he's the only person I've ever loved in my life." Gu Qiaorong said faintly.
"Loved?" Su Wenxuan keenly grasped the mystery in Gu Qiaorong's words, "Don't you love it now?" ”
"It's been more than 20 years! No matter how much emotion there is, it fades! You're still young, and when you're my age, you'll understand. ”
The early spring season is always unpredictable, and the mother and daughter sat here for just over an hour before the weather turned from sunny to cloudy, and then it rained. The sound of the drizzling rain inevitably disturbed people's hearts.
"Why is it raining again! Wen Xuan, did you bring an umbrella? Catching a glimpse of the rain outside the window, Gu Qiaorong frowned.
"I didn't bring it. But it doesn't matter, brother, he will pick me up when I go back in the evening. Su Wenxuan said lightly: "There is a lot of rain this year. By the way, I heard my brother say that it was also raining on the day my dad left, and it was still very rainy. ”
"Good...... Seems so! It's been more than 20 years, and I've forgotten it! Gu Qiaorong laughed twice, picked up the coffee cup and lowered his eyes, as if he was dodging Su Wenxuan's gaze.
"Yes. I thought it would be a special day! Actually, I want to know about my father, after all, as a daughter, she shouldn't know anything about her father. It's just that I'm a widow, and I didn't know my life story until more than 20 years later, so I really don't know anything. My brother told me a little bit about when my father died. He said that he went out with his aunt that day, and when he came home, he happened to see his father fall from the stairs in front of him, and his flesh and blood blurred in an instant! Su Wenxuan's voice was not loud, and her tone was very gentle, as if she was telling a story.
But this story made Gu Qiaorong feel terrified, and she was so shocked that the teaspoon fell to the ground. She interrupted Su Wenxuan impatiently, "Wenxuan, don't say it!" ”
"Well, I won't talk about it! Mom, did you see Dad that day? Su Wenxuan pretended to ask casually.
"Nope!" Gu Qiaorong replied without thinking, and as soon as the words came out, he realized that he seemed to answer too quickly, and added: "Your father and I are in an underground relationship, how can we meet so often." Otherwise, your aunt wouldn't have found out sooner! ”
"That's right." Su Wenxuan smiled, but her eyes darkened.
At this moment, Gu Qiaorong's mobile phone rang and the screen showed "Ono". "Wen Xuan, Ono is looking for me, maybe there is something in the company, so I'll leave first! You give Wen Yan a call and ask him to pick you up! ”
"Okay." Su Wenxuan said with a smile obediently. She watched Gu Qiaorong walk out of the door of the café, and the smile on her lips fell little by little!
Gu Qiaorong lied! Jing Hongwen's diary clearly said that she had an appointment with her that day, but she lied that she hadn't seen Jing Hongwen that day! This is definitely not misremembered! Looking at the panicked and dodging look she looks like every time she mentions Jing Hongwen's death, it is clear that she has a ghost in her heart! Su Wenxuan sighed, the one she was most afraid of still happened, Jing Hongwen's death really had something to do with Gu Qiaorong!
Su Wenxuan hugged her shoulders with both hands and slowly lay on the table, tears continued to fall from her eyes, dripping on the table to form a circle of water. People passing by around looked sideways, and some even guessed the reason at random, saying whether they were out of love! Su Wenxuan turned a deaf ear to all these voices!
At this moment, Su Wenxuan felt that the world was really very fair. Before the age of twenty, she always had a smooth life, and her parents held it in the palm of her hand like a pearl in the palm of her hand, and she had whatever she wanted. So after the age of twenty, she fully saw the madness of this world! Things like the people she loves don't love her are too insignificant! The father she has called for twenty years is not her biological father, her biological father is actually her uncle! And now, her father was actually killed by her mother!
Su Wenxuan suddenly felt that although she was Gu Qiaorong's daughter, she got along with Gu Qiaorong day and night in the process of growing up. But she didn't know Gu Qiaorong at all! She couldn't understand Gu Qiaorong's thoughts, and she didn't know how to face Gu Qiaorong in the future. A person who can even do his own beloved lover, as her daughter, is it absolutely safe?
