Chapter 104, The Truth Three Years Ago
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
Dongfeng Hotel.
in the room.
Gu Qian sat on the head of the bed, and the sound of the water in the bathroom made him feel inexplicably impetuous.
Although the two of them were under the same roof in Lover's Island before, the area of the penthouse suite was very large, and they were both in different rooms.
But this time......
The entire twin room is only 30 square meters in size.
Half an hour later.
The bathroom door reopened.
Jiang Li walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel and holding her hands on her chest, her wet hair coiled, and there were still undried water stains on her fair fragrant shoulders.
"Don't you even have a bathrobe in this hotel?"
Jiang Li frowned slightly, looked at Gu Qian who was leaning on the head of the bed, and glared again: "Don't look at your eyes, turn around!" ”
"Oh."
Gu Qian sighed and turned sideways obediently.
Jiang Li got into the quilt of the other bed, plugged the hair dryer into the socket at the head of the bed, and blew her hair by herself.
Neither spoke.
The sound of a hair dryer is particularly noisy in a small room.
"Ahem...... Need my help? ”
Gu Qian coughed awkwardly and asked tentatively.
Jiang Li glared back at Gu Qian, and found that the other party was still honestly facing away from him, so he spoke: "No, you can't even get out of bed with this leg." ”
Gu Qian: "......"
Ten minutes later.
Jiang Li's long hair was almost dry, and he glanced at Gu Qian, who had his back to him the whole time, and said nonchalantly: "Now you can turn around." ”
"Oh."
Gu Qian turned his head.
Jiang Li looked at the other party, and while arranging her long hair, she asked casually, "What is my background...... Jiang Yue told you? ”
"It's not."
"Then how did you find out about Qi County?"
"The drunken words you said when you kissed me drunk that night on Valentine's Island." Gu Qian added oil and vinegar to explain.
"Ahem...... What did I say that night? ”
"You said a man."
"Who?"
"Mother Tong."
Hear those two words.
Jiang Li was speechless all of a sudden, and a wave of sadness welled up in her heartache, she still can't forget the old man who didn't forget to tell her to eat well and live well when she was dying.
"I visited the Blue Sky Welfare Institute this afternoon, and I also went to pay respects in front of the tombstone of the old man in Houshan."
Gu Qian said in a gentle voice: "Dean Tong is a respectable old man. ”
Jiang Li did not speak.
Gu Qian continued to comfort me gently: "Can you tell me about the past, talk to me, it should be better." ”
There was a long silence.
Jiang Li glanced at Gu Qian, her eyes were a little red, and she slowed down for a long time before she spoke: "Mother Tong said that she rescued me at the hands of human traffickers, but I can't remember the previous incident. ”
"I only remember that I grew up in the Blue Sky Welfare Home, and later Jiang Zhenguo and his wife came to the welfare home, and they said that they had no children and wanted to adopt a child to go home, and they fell in love with me at first sight."
"Mother Tong investigated the situation of the Jiang family and agreed because she felt that there was no problem."
Gu Qian listened carefully: "The Jiang family in City A is not good to you, right?" ”
"When I first arrived at Jiang's house, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Zhenguo were very good to me."
Jiang Li lowered her head and said to herself: "But later, after Jiang Yue was born, I became an outsider to the Jiang family, in fact, I can understand, after all, I am not the biological daughter of the Jiang family, and it is natural for them to love Jiang Yue more." ”
"So then I secretly ran back to the welfare home alone, and I was actually brought up by Tong's mother."
Gu Qian frowned slightly and asked, "Then the Jiang family has been hiding this news?" ”
Before this detailed investigation of this matter, he had always thought that Jiang Li was the eldest lady of the Jiang family, and no one had ever doubted this.
"The Jiang family gave the welfare institute a large sum of money, which is the so-called 'hush money', after all, the adoption of a child is a big scandal for the Jiang family."
Gu Qian nodded slightly, understanding the cause and effect.
"So when you were in college, you worked part-time, in fact, just to send money to the welfare home?"
"Hmm."
Jiang Li hummed softly, her eyes were red: "Mother Tong is getting older and older, and she can't afford to support so many younger brothers and sisters in the welfare home alone." ”
"Later, the year she graduated, Tong's mother went to the hospital."
Jiang Li's words were a little choked: "At that time, the doctor said that the organs were failing, and an organ transplant was needed, and a large amount of surgery was needed. ”
"You can contact me at that time......"
Gu Qian subconsciously spoke, but he paused halfway through the conversation.
An extremely bad premonition came to his heart, making him feel a palpitation inexplicably.
Gu Qian looked at Jiang Li and asked cautiously, "On the night of the Jiang family's birthday banquet, you called me...... Is it because of this? ”
"Hmm."
Jiang Li snorted shallowly, tears unconsciously slid down her cheeks, and her voice couldn't help but start trembling: "At that time, I took out all the money I earned from my part-time job, and I bought everything I could buy in the welfare home, but I still didn't make up enough......
"I didn't know any new friends in college, and I didn't have a very good relationship with my roommates, so I only called you that night, and I called for a long, long time...... But you didn't answer once. ”
Jiang Li didn't continue.
The room was quiet and eerily quiet.
Gu Qian's mouth opened slightly, but he couldn't make a sound in his throat, and a feeling of suffocation spread all over his body, and he was almost out of breath when he was depressed.
There was silence for a long time.
Jiang Li wiped the tears on her cheeks with toilet paper and exhaled a long breath: "That night, you were attending Jiang Zhenguo's birthday party, right?" ”
"Yes...... Be. ”
Gu Qian's voice trembled and admitted: "The invitation of the Jiang family, I thought you would also be there, so I prepared a grand congratulatory gift to go to the banquet, I didn't expect ......"
"Did they pour you wine?"
"You...... How do you know? ”
Gu Qian still remembered that he went to the Jiang family for a banquet full of joy that night, prepared a rich congratulatory gift, and prepared to propose to Jiang Li in front of all the Jiang family's relatives and friends at the banquet.
But that day, he was dragged by the Jiang family and poured a lot of wine.
When I woke up the next day, I was left with more than a dozen missed calls and a cold breakup letter on my phone.
"Guess."
After Jiang Li took a long breath, he looked at Gu Qian and smiled reluctantly: "You know what? The next day, Jiang Yue sent me a photo of the congratulatory gifts you sent, and the value of those congratulatory gifts was more expensive than the cost of Tong's mother's surgery. ”
"Right...... I'm sorry. ”
Gu Qian's words were choked up, his whole body was weak, and the truth was like a big hand that had taken away his entire soul.
"It's okay, I know you didn't mean to."
Jiang Li shrunk her legs slightly, clasped her hands around her knees, and her voice became smaller and smaller: "For so many years, I have not been able to forgive...... Actually, it's me. ”
