Never reveal even half of your secrets to anyone, not even her.
So when he saw her checking his computer that day, he was worried that all the files in it would be read by her, so he stepped forward and snatched it away, and even said harsh words.
Gu Tingchuan walked to his desk and put his mobile phone card into the password box. Some document bags and a pistol were vaguely visible in the password box.
Put the mobile phone card inside and close the password box.
The cell phone rang suddenly. Gu Tingchuan took out the phone and put it to his ear, "Grandpa."
"Tingchuan, if you have time tomorrow night, come back for a meal and take Hai Yao with you."
Gu Tingchuan lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, until Xia Mingwei asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? Are you not free tomorrow?"
"no……"
He frowned and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows, "Okay, we'll go tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, he thought for a moment and pressed her number skillfully with his slender fingers, but a mechanical voice came from the phone: The person you dialed is currently on the call...
*****
"Hello."
Haiyao answered the phone, and there was silence on the other end. Lu Haiyao couldn't wait for a long time, and looked at the phone in confusion, "Hi, hello, may I ask..."
"Haiyao, it's me."
You will know the person by listening to his voice.
Hai Yao didn't know what to say for a moment, and thought for a long time before asking, "How was your newlywed life?"
I heard they went to Paris...
"I'm back."
"oh."
"Shall we meet soon?"
"Hmm?" She bit her lip, not wanting to cause any misunderstanding. "What's the matter?"
"You don't have to avoid me, Haiyao. I'm looking for you for work matters. I'm actually married. There are some things..." Ou Junyan choked for a while before saying bitterly, "I know there are some things I can't do well.
, we are friends just like before."
Hearing what he said, Hai Yao's worries gradually disappeared. She raised the corners of her mouth and said in a cheerful mood, "Well, of course it's good if you think so."
"Then I'll come over to pick you up in a moment, and let's go to the construction site to have a look."
"good."
***
Every time Gu Tingchuan on the other end called, he got a busy signal.
He simply went there in person. As soon as the car arrived, he saw Hai Yao walking out of it. He was about to lower the window and call her, but to his surprise, she walked forward and got into another car with a sweet smile.
It was vaguely visible that the driver was a man. Seeing their car starting to leave, Gu Tingchuan quickly started the engine and followed.
There were many vehicles all the way and the road was blocked. It was several cars away from him before he could see the car in front of him. Gu Tingchuan stared at it for a moment, fearing that he would lose him. However, when the green light turned on, the cars in front of him all left one after another.
But when he wanted to start the car, the car didn't respond for a long time.
"shit!"
After trying to start it countless times to no avail, Gu Tingchuan cursed in anger and punched the steering wheel hard.
The car behind him kept honking its horn, making him even more upset and angry.
He took out his cell phone and dialed Lu Haiyao's cell phone, "Lu Haiyao, get out of the car right away!"
His face was livid, and he went crazy with jealousy when he thought of the way she was talking and laughing with the man when she first got in the car.
He was about to continue talking when a beeping sound came from the other end.
"Hey Hey hey?"
"Dududu..."
Realizing that the call had been hung up, she suddenly felt an unknown flame burning in her heart. Has she grown more capable? She hasn't seen each other for just a few days, but she has a new love?
Dare you hang up on him?
When I called again, I heard from the phone, "The number you dialed has been turned off."
Hai Yao, who was sitting in the car, threw her cell phone into her bag angrily and looked back at the vehicles behind her, but did not find his car.
Ou Junyan saw this and asked, "What's wrong?"
Hai Yao put away her worries and said bitterly, "It's nothing, I typed it wrong."
Looking out the car window, his face was gloomy and his heart was filled with bitterness.
She had tried very hard not to be sad or think about him, so she worked hard to numb her nerves.
Ou Junyan looked at her serious dark circles and couldn't help but said, "Have you been working overtime a lot lately?"
"yes."
“This is my first time taking on such a major project, and I want to do a good job.”
He smiled, "Don't tire yourself out."
Hearing this, Hai Yao forced out a smile.
If you don't work, your mind will think about sad things when you are free. Instead of doing this, why not work every day and every night until you are so tired that you can fall asleep when you close your eyes.
How many nights has she not slept well?
She was even afraid of sleeping on the bed because the bed was cold and she was afraid of the cold and loneliness. The more lonely and cold she felt, the more she couldn't sleep. She could only stare at the ceiling, her eyes so sleepy that she shed tears, but she couldn't fall asleep.
This feeling is really terrible.
So she would rather work. Haiyao looked out the car window and thought of his violent command just now. What qualifications did he have to order her?
The car drove all the way to the newly built resort in the suburbs. Haiyao followed Ou Junyan to the construction site. Construction had already begun here and it would be completed according to her blueprint in the near future...
Wearing a safety helmet to the construction site, there were steel bars and concrete everywhere, making it particularly inconvenient to walk. Haiyao was wearing high heels, so her walk suddenly became a bit unsteady.
After crossing the swimming pool, they were about to walk towards the direction of the fitness area. The road was full of cobblestones and it was particularly inconvenient to walk on high heels. Lu Haiyao accidentally sprained her foot. Fortunately, Ou Junyan beside her held her arm in time and supported her.
she.
"Don't wear high heels next time you come here."
He smiled and said, "How about you take a look here, and I'll go over there and learn some information from the foreman and come over."
She could only nod and stood there watching him walk further and further away.
Haiyao looked around, thinking that in half a year this place would become a beautiful resort hotel, and her smile appeared slightly.
There were always migrant workers passing by. Haiyao turned around to see the progress of the hotel construction, but was shocked to find a man who looked like Xiaobei walking towards that direction carrying two bags of cement.
Her heart was suddenly grasped by invisible hands, and she wanted to shout out, but her voice was hoarse.
Seeing him walking further and further away, Haiyao quickly caught up and said, "Xiao Bei!"
"Xiao Bei!!"
She stepped forward anxiously, stepping on the cobblestones with her high heels. The heel tilted, and she fell to the ground unprepared. Her knees hit the ground hard, and there was a sharp pain in her ankles.
Looking up, the man had disappeared, just like a dream, coming and going in a hurry, as if he had never appeared.
Thinking of Xiaobei, her eyes felt hot and her heart felt sour.
More than half a year...
Xiaobei has been away for more than half a year, and she always feels that he is still alive, living in another part of the world, and will return to her one day.
She tried to stand up, but the pain in her ankle made her unable to use her feet at all. Rapid footsteps sounded behind her, and Ou Junyan ran up and squatted beside her, "Come on, get up."
He helped her up and found that her left foot seemed to be sprained, "Let me take a look at it for you."
As she was about to squat down, Hai Yao quickly refused, "No, it's not serious. Junyan, help me ask the migrant workers here if there is one named Lu Xiaobei?"
"Xiao Bei?"
Ou Junyan already knew that Xiaobei was not here, and frowned slightly, but seeing her anxious expression, he could only nod, "I'll go ask."
She was about to leave, but she stopped uneasily and looked at her left foot, "Is your foot really okay?"
"I'm fine. Go and ask for me."
To show that she was really fine, she endured the pain and stood still, and then Ou Junyan stepped away.
Hai Yao can't stand here and wait...
The boy just now really looked like Xiaobei...
Seen from the side and back, he looks so similar to her Xiao Bei.
Enduring the pain in her ankle, she limped forward and asked everyone she met, "Hello, is there a boy named Lu Xiaobei here?"
"Lu Xiaobei?"
The man thought for a moment in confusion and shook his head, "No."
After getting this answer, Haiyao was disappointed, but she was unwilling to give up. Was the person she saw just now really not Xiaobei?
So similar...
Haiyao continued to walk forward and saw Ou Junyan asking the person in charge of the construction site. She hurried forward. Before she reached it, Ou Junyan looked at her and shook his head helplessly.
At that moment, the ignited expectations surged and receded like a tide...
Ou Junyan walked over and saw that her face was pale and full of disappointment and frustration. He really couldn't bear to tell her the reality.
He can't speak...
There's something stuck in my throat, and I can't make a sound.
Hai Yao pretended to smile meaninglessly, her smile was heart-wrenching, "It seems that I really saw it wrong."
The voice was hoarse, with a hint of crying.
Ou Junyan wanted to comfort him, but didn't know what to say, "Haiyao..."
She smiled and interrupted him, "I'm fine, let's go back."
Her eyes were red, and she was clearly crying, but she smiled and said it was okay.
On the way back, Lu Haiyao became more and more silent.
Everything just happened was like a dream.
I dreamed that Xiaobei appeared...
It was because she was missing Xiaobei that she lost her mind for a moment. If it was really Xiaobei, how could he not return to his sister?
She looked out the car window with a dull expression, her heart having experienced repeated losses and hurts, and had become numb.
When we returned to city B, it was almost dark.
The twilight begins, and the lanterns begin to light up, lighting up the city.
Ou Junyan threatened to send her back. She didn't want him to know that she and Gu Tingchuan had separated, so she asked him to send her back to the studio, using the excuse that she still had something to bring.
As soon as the car stopped, Haiyao had been working in the car for two hours. Suddenly she had to move her legs to walk, and she felt a terrible pain.
Seeing this, Ou Junyan got out of the car and walked around to her side to help her get out of the car.
"Are you really okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"It's okay, I'll just go back and apply some medicine."
Ou Junyan was worried, "Get your things and I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup."
"It's really not necessary..." She raised her eyes to look at Ou Junyan, and caught a glimpse of Gu Tingchuan's menacing figure from the corner of her eye. Her voice was choked, and she was shocked to see Gu Tingchuan walking over in two or three steps, grabbing Ou Junyan's arm and separating them. She was even more shocked.
After asking clearly, he raised his fist and punched Ou Junyan hard in the face.
Ou Junyan was caught off guard and was punched in the face. The corner of his mouth was broken. He took a few steps back and almost fell down.
"Gu Tingchuan!!"
Haiyao screamed, "What are you doing!"
"Why are you hitting people?"
I saw Gu Tingchuan step forward and grab Ou Junyan's collar, and said angrily, "Siyin has searched for you all over the world, but you are with my wife? Ou Junyan, what do you want to play? You disappeared with my woman for 7 hours
, where have you gone!”
Ou Junyan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Gu Tingchuan without fear, and answered frankly, "Hai Yao and I went to the construction site."
"Haiyao is your name?"
Hearing this, he felt something was wrong, which made Gu Tingchuan raise his fist and wanted to punch him again, but Lu Haiyao stopped him.
She grabbed his arm and pulled him away, "Gu Tingchuan, are you crazy!"
"I think he is the one who is crazy. He ignored his wife being sent to the hospital and dragged you, my sister-in-law, to the construction site? Who is crazy!"
Ou Junyan's heart tightened when he heard this, "What did you say? Siyin went to the hospital?"
"Do you still care about her? If she hadn't been looking for you all over the world, she wouldn't have had a car accident!"
When Gu Tingchuan thought that Siyin was still in the hospital, but he and Haiyao had disappeared together for so long, but at this time, both of them couldn't get through on their cell phones, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
Ou Junyan thought of Siyin lying in the hospital and didn't know what his condition was, so he immediately turned around, got in the car and left in a hurry.
For a moment, only she and him were left.
Haiyao tried hard to calm down her emotions, and was about to leave, but her wrist was held tightly by him, and she heard his voice full of questions, "Where are you going?"
"Construction site."
He looked at her alienated look, feeling depressed but unable to break out.
After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "Get in the car, I have something to ask you."
"If you have anything to say, just say it here."
"boarding!"
He repeated, his tone not refusing, as if he would carry her and throw her into the car if she didn't get in the car.
Hai Yao looked at him, knowing that there would be no progress if the stalemate continued. Why not get in the car and explain everything to her so that she could leave. She didn't want to be entangled with him for too long. She limped towards the car and got in.
After getting out of the car, he said in a cold voice, "If you have anything to say, please tell me."
He looked at her with bitterness in his dark eyes, pursed his lips and said nothing. Instead, he started the engine and drove away.
As soon as the car moved, Hai Yao couldn't help but look at him, "Where are you taking me?"
"Is there anything you can't say in the car?"
"Gu Tingchuan..."
He ignored her, looked forward with dark eyes, and held the steering wheel tightly with his hands.
When she was quiet, he caught a glimpse of the ring on her hand out of the corner of his eye. His heart suddenly stung and his throat choked, and he asked, "Where is the ring?"
Haiyao was angry and refused to pay attention. Then she heard him ask in a deep voice, "Where's the ring?"
After all, she couldn't get through the stalemate and replied coldly, "At home."
Hearing her say 'home', Gu Tingchuan suddenly felt a wave of bitterness pouring into his heart. He looked out the car window with a mocking arc on his lips, "You call the dilapidated house rented outside home? Where we live, you always call it 'your home'.
', Lu Haiyao, you really know the difference clearly."
At the turning point ahead, he suddenly turned the steering wheel, turned the car around, and accelerated towards Lantian Road.
Haiyao realized that he was returning to the original road and looked at him. The streetlight flashed by, illuminating the side of his face and making it difficult to see his expression clearly.
The car parked downstairs of her house. He turned off the engine, lit a cigarette, and said, "Go back."
She looked at him and saw that he had not spoken for a long time. She did not intend to stay for a long time. She pressed her hand on the doorknob, but heard him say, "Make time tomorrow to have a meal with grandpa."
"Um."
Pushing open the car door, she endured the severe pain in her ankle and walked upstairs with difficulty step by step.
Looking at her back, he extinguished the cigarette in his hand, stepped on the accelerator, and left without any pause or nostalgia.
*****
When Haiyao returned home, she lifted up her pants and took off her shoes. She saw that her ankles were swollen.
She rubbed it and took a breath of pain.
She wanted to find some medicine for rubbing, but found that there was no medicine at home. She wanted to boil hot water for a soak, but she couldn't turn on the gas. She had just moved here and didn't buy anything. She sat on the sofa numbly,
At this moment, I suddenly felt desolate.
A twenty-three-year-old woman who has experienced two failed marriages was a mess. When others are injured, she should have a caring husband to take care of her and a well-behaved and sensible baby to accompany her. But what does she have?
Nothing at all……
After experiencing a cheating marriage, she didn't learn a lesson. She foolishly fell into someone else's trap and became a manipulated puppet...
Haiyao thought of all the past events and suddenly laughed. With a desolate smile, she laughed at her own pitifulness and stupidity.
Thinking of the time when she decided to marry Gu Tingchuan, she felt somewhat guilty...
The nicer he was to her, the more guilty she felt, because she married him not out of love, but because she wanted something from him. Not only did he help her investigate Xiaobei's affairs, but he even accommodated her, making her feel grateful.
Love, and then slowly get used to his existence...
She didn't know that from the very beginning, from the moment they met, he classified her as a prey in the circle, saw her in pain, saw her helpless, and then pretended to be a good person and extended a helping hand, making her fall in love like a fool.
set……
Everything in the past is like a black and white movie, constantly playing in my mind.
She sat there with a numb expression, her eyes were sore and swollen, she wanted to cry, but there were no tears...
Biting her trembling lips, she took a deep breath, endured the pain in her ankle, stood up, and prepared to put on her coat and go downstairs to buy some medicine. At this time, the only one she could rely on was herself, right?
Her foot stepped on the ground, and the sprained area was pulled and painful. She didn't even dare to put her left foot on the ground, but she had no choice but to endure the pain, put on her clothes, and hurried out.
Her foot seemed to be getting worse and worse, so she didn't dare to put her left foot on the ground. She carefully walked down the stairs and walked to the pharmacy to buy sprain medicine.
When she walked out of the pharmacy, a cold wind hit her, making her shiver. She walked back with difficulty step by step. She never thought that she, who was so afraid of pain, could endure the pain and walk for so long...
