Chapter 1 No atonement is required
At two o'clock in the morning, the whole city of A fell silent.
Qiao Jingwei parked the car in front of Xiao Suo's villa, and the darkness around her couldn't see her fingers, and a gust of cold wind hit, and she couldn't help but shiver.
That's right, since the incident three years ago, the Sun family has moved out, and the house has become empty.
She turned on the flashlight of her mobile phone and walked in lightly, the door that was originally closed suddenly creaked open, she didn't pay attention, and pulled her violently, Qiao Jing stumbled slightly, the whole person fell a few steps forward, and then fell to the ground with a pop.
She looked up at a black-and-white photograph on the wall, and in the dim candlelight, she could see the man's bright and picturesque smile.
Sun Ruqin, Sun Ruqin, who was swept into the waves three years ago, is her former good friend and the eternal white moonlight in her husband's heart.
"What are you doing here, atoning for your sins?" A cold voice slowly sounded behind her, and with his voice, there was a click, and the light was turned on.
She looked back, and under the blazing white light, her old man had a gloomy handsome face, and his eyes were staring at her like cold, as if she were an invading flood beast.
"You're here. Qiao Jingwei got up from the ground, patted the dust on her pants, and her voice was a little anxious, "Grandpa is dying, I want to see you, let me call you back." โ
"How many times does he have to play this kind of trick?" Gu Tingshi's words were sarcastic, but a touch of complexity flashed in his eyes.
These words were like a basin of cold water, Qiao Jing was slightly choked, her eyes were deviated by two points, and she fell on the pile of scattered wine bottles on the ground.
Every time Sun Ruqin's death day, he always has to stay here all night, and every time he goes back from here, he must be drunk.
"Thunder, can we not mention the past? Grandpa reallyโhe just wants to see you one last time. Qiao Jing took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing pain in her heart, and pleaded slowly.
"Want me to go back?" Gu Tingshi sneered, took a few steps forward, and approached Qiao Jingwei, his eyes shining like arrows, "If you give Ruqin back to me, I will forgive you!"
"Gu Tingshi! You are enough! Sun Ruqin is dead! For the sake of a woman, you have hated grandpa for so many years! He is just going to see you for the last time! Can you be sober and sober!" Qiao Jing clenched her fists slightly, her voice was suppressed, and she gritted her teeth word by word, "It wasn't me and grandpa who killed her, she ended up like this, she was to blame!"
However, as soon as the words fell, she was strangled by Gu Tingshi's neck.
"If it weren't for you, a slut, who shamelessly climbed into my bed and became pregnant with a wild seed, how could the old man force me to marry you? If it wasn't for that wedding, how could Ruqin die?" Gu Tingshi's eyes were scarlet, and his cold and fair-skinned face was full of cruelty.
There was a "snap", and a loud slap sounded.
"Wild seed? That's your child, you said he was a wild seed? I've already lost a child, isn't it enough? Grandpa, what's wrong with him!" Qiao Jingwei's hand was still trembling when she slapped Gu Ting, and suppressed sobs were mixed with her voice, like the dying roar of a fierce beast.
Just for Sun Ruqin, for a dead person, when she was pregnant for nine months and was about to give birth, she had to have surgery, she couldn't find her husband's signature, her operation was delayed, and after giving birth to a child, she was already a stillborn baby.
"You dare to hit me?" Gu Tingshi's face sank.
"What I Qiao Jingwei owes is Grandpa Gu's kindness, not when I owe you Gu Ting!" Qiao Jing lowered her eyes slightly, and her tone was sad, "Follow me to the hospital." โ
"It's not impossible. Gu Tingshi sneered, he pinched Qiao Jingwei's hand and reversed, forcing Qiao Jingwei to kneel, his voice gloomy, "You kowtow to Ruqin here to admit your mistake, and I will go to the hospital with you." โ
Qiao Jingwei was pressed by him and couldn't move, she raised her eyes, looked at Sun Ruqin with a smile on the photo, and a sneer pulled out from the corner of her mouth.
Who would have thought that this Miss Sun, who is as pure and gentle as a white lotus, actually has such a vicious and ruthless heart?
If she hadn't been vigilant, she would have died in the sea that day.
"Good. After being silent for a long time, Qiao Jingwei spit out the word in a low voice.
The coercion in her hand was loosened, she knelt upright, kowtowed three times respectfully to Sun Ruqin, and said in a cold voice: "Miss Sun, I'm sorry, the person who died that day should be me, not you." โ
Her arrogant and indifferent posture made Gu Tingshi even more angry, and he suddenly stepped forward and pressed Qiao Jingwei's hand to the ground when Qiao Jingwei wanted to get up.
Qiao Jing was slightly caught off guard, and his face was pressed against the cold floor tiles, painful and icy.
"Do you think I'll let you go so easily? You just kneel here for one night to atone for Ruqin!" Gu Ting's movements were ruthless, and so was his voice.
Qiao Jing's eyes were sour, and she couldn't help but feel pain in her heart.
She had affection for him and admired him for ten years, but in the end, she couldn't beat a dead man.
"I have no sin to atone for. Qiao Jing gasped in pain, and her voice was calm.
"Then don't be in a dirty place here!" Gu Tingshi grabbed her violently and threw her out.
Qiao Jing lay on the ground slightly, embarrassed like a lost dog, and Sun Ruqin, who was hanging on the wall, seemed to be smiling triumphantly.
She suppressed the tears surging in her eyes, slowly got up from the ground, and then knelt down upright in front of Gu Tingshi.
"Now that you're satisfied, you can go to the hospital to see your grandfather. Her voice was cold, with suppressed and sobbing sobs.
"Oh, it's so great, no wonder grandpa loves you so much, even my own grandson can't compare. Gu Tingshi's eyes were gloomy, and he said word by word.
Qiao Jing's heart was like a knife, she naturally knew how much Grandpa Gu loved her, and she also wanted to be by his side more, even if it was a minute or a second.
But Gu Tingshi has hated Grandpa Gu for three years, this is Grandpa's last wish, she doesn't want Grandpa to not see her only grandson before he dies.
"Without further ado, grandpa is still waiting for you. Qiao Jing forcibly put away her heart and tears, lowered her eyebrows, and knelt intently.
Gu Tingshi glanced at her, closed the door with cold eyes, and finally, the lock was clicked.
Qiao Jingwei looked at the photo hanging on the wall and smiled bitterly.
If Sun Ruqin was still alive, she must be very proud. In just three years, the ancestors of the Gu family almost broke up because of her, and Gu Tingshi avoided her like a snake and scorpion.
If it weren't for her grandfather, she would rather not be guilty of this crime and live the rest of her life easily and happily.
It's a pity that some things can't be left to her at all.
Qiao Jing tugged at the corners of her mouth weakly, took a deep breath and stood up. Just as I was about to turn up the light, I heard a messy footstep outside the door.
It sounds like there are a lot of people.
