400. Chapter 400 Let Du Ruo take the lead 10,000 words
"Mingxiu, I'm sorry, I seem to have asked something I shouldn't have asked." Qin Yuchu apologized in a panic. Everyone has pain that they don't want to be touched by others, and Zhou Mingyuan is the pain that Zhou Mingxiu tried his best to hide.
"It's okay, Sister Qin. In fact, Mingyuan has leukemia." Although it was only the second time he met Qin Yuchu, Zhou Xiuming felt that she was a trustworthy person, so she ignored Zhou Mingyuan's illness.
He told her reservedly.
Zhou Xiuming's words shocked Qin Yuchu, and the kitchen knife in her hand fell to the ground with a clang. Only now did she understand that Zhou Mingyuan's bald head was due to chemotherapy.
"How could it be possible... He looks very energetic." Qin Yuchu stared at Zhou Xiuming in disbelief. She tried to keep her voice as low as possible for fear of disturbing Mingyuan who was playing in the living room.
"I took him to the United States for bone marrow replacement some time ago, and the results were pretty good, but the doctor said he could survive for up to 6 years."
Zhou Xiuming's words made Qin Yuchu's heart churn, and he felt deep sympathy for the poor siblings. God always likes to let kind people go through all kinds of pain.
The dinner that Qin Yuchu ate was very unpleasant, but the two siblings Zhou Mingxiu and Zhou Mingyuan ate very happily.
"Sister Qin, I really want to thank you tonight. We haven't had food from home for a long time." After helping Qin Juchu put away the dishes, Zhou Xiuming expressed his gratitude with a smile.
"If you don't mind that I'm not good at my craftsmanship, you can come to my house for dinner more often in the future. It just so happens that Xiaoran also likes to play with Mingyuan."
Qin Yuchu looked at Zhou Mingyuan, who was accompanying Gu Ran with a smile on his face, and felt filled with emotion, why such a good child got such a disease.
"Mingyuan seems to like Gu Ran very much. Let them play for a while. I'll go back to work first and pick him up later." Zhou Mingxiu looked at his brother comfortingly. He hadn't seen Mingyuan smile so happily for a long time.
Maybe he also saw the shadow of his childhood in Gu Ran.
"Don't worry, go back to work. We're so close. If he wants to go back, I can just send him back." Qin Yuchu waved his hand, indicating that Zhou Mingxiu didn't need to come over to pick him up.
After that night, the relationship between the two families gradually became closer. Zhou Mingyuan didn't talk much, but he always had a bright smile on his face, not at all like a terminally ill teenager.
Every time he saw the smile on Mingyuan's face, Qin Yuchu would always feel an uncontrollable feeling of regret in his heart.
Because Zhou Mingyuan never went to school, he always stayed alone and bored after Gu Ran went to kindergarten during the day. Qin Yuchu proposed to Zhou Mingxiu that he should help in his flower shop.
Although her flower shop is very small and there is currently no need to hire a helper, she still wants to do her best to help this distressed boy.
Zhou Mingyuan was very happy that he could find a job. He carefully followed Qin Yuchu to learn how to build flower branches, package flowers, and smile at every guest. After his help, Qin Yuchu felt a lot more relaxed.
"Sister Qin, this is the income of the flower shop today."
Today Qin Yuchu went to a flower garden in the suburbs to buy the flowers that the flower shop will order for the next season. Zhou Mingyuan spent a whole day closing the shop alone.
"Mingyuan, I've worked hard for you today. I'll make hot pot chicken to reward you tonight."
"It's not hard. Sister Qin is willing to let me work in your store. I don't know how happy I am. I don't feel hard at all."
Zhou Mingyuan was telling the truth, because every day he watched his sister working hard to write, but he looked like a useless person, unable to do anything to help, and his inner anxiety was self-evident.
But he couldn't show it because he didn't want to add to his sister's burden. If he could make his sister a little happier by smiling all the time, then he would be willing to hide his true feelings and face everything with a smile.
But now I'm better, I can work, and I can make money to share with my sister. All of this is thanks to Sister Qin in front of me, she is really a kind person.
"It's a pity that Sister Qin's store makes too little money and can't give you a high salary."
Qin Youchu looked apologetically at the well-behaved and distressed boy in front of her. If possible, she really hoped that she could help him more.
"That's a lot. Thank you, Sister Qin."
"Silly brother," Qin Yuchu smiled, "it's almost time. Let's close the store and go buy groceries. Mingxiu should have taken Gu Ran home."
Ever since Qin Yuchu let Zhou Mingyuan come to work in her shop, as a return gift, Zhou Mingxiu took the initiative to help her take Gu Ran back to her home every day. In this way, Qin Yuchu didn't have to close the flower shop in advance every day, and this amount also increased to a certain extent.
The flower shop adds some income.
"Well, okay." Mingyuan nodded and began to clean up the flower branches that fell on the ground during the day.
After closing the store door, Qin Yuchu put his hand on Zhou Mingyuan's shoulder, and the two walked towards the market talking and laughing, just like a pair of biological siblings.
Zhou Mingxiu ran down the stairs in a panic, raking and grabbing her hair with both hands. She was particularly inspired today. She has been writing since she got up. Fortunately, just in case, she had asked Mingyuan to set an alarm on her phone.
Bell, otherwise I would really be delayed in picking up Gu Ran today.
However, because she was in such a hurry to go out, she didn't even have time to look in the mirror. She was wearing the same home clothes she wore to bed last night.
When she saw a Daben parked at the gate downstairs, Zhou Mingxiu didn't hesitate at all, and started to straighten the instruments directly in front of Daben's window. Du Ruo in the car stared dumbfounded at the woman outside the car who used her window as a mirror.
.
Wearing wrinkled home clothes, her hair was permed into big waves and messy on her shoulders. Although her eyes were bright and bright, there was an untimely eye drop hanging in the corner of her eye...
This is really a sloppy woman. This was Du Ruo's only impression of Zhou Mingxiu when she first met her.
Zhou Mingxiu roughly smoothed her hair with her hands, wiped away the dirty things from the corners of her eyes with her fingers, and then took photos from left to right to make sure she was barely satisfied with her image before leaving.
"Aunt Mingxiu!"
Gu Ran ran towards Zhou Mingxiu from afar. Recently, Aunt Mingxiu has been picking him up. His mother told him to listen to her words on the road, so he obediently followed Aunt Mingxiu home every day.
Gu Ran actually likes Zhou Mingxiu to pick her up because she often buys herself some delicious food on the road. Her mother always refuses to buy roadside snacks for her on the grounds that children cannot eat too many snacks.
.
"Xiaoran, do you want to eat candied haws?"
"Yes!" Gu Ran nodded vigorously. He had been craving candied haws for a long time, but his mother said eating it would cause tooth decay, so he never bought it for himself.
"But you mustn't let anything slip when you get home, otherwise your mother will scold Auntie to death." Zhou Mingxiu warned Gu Ran again and again. After making sure that he really understood, she bought a candied haws and handed it to him.
Du Ruo watched in surprise as the sloppy woman led Gu Ran all the way. If it weren't for the fact that Qin Yuchu did live in this building, he would have thought that this woman was a trafficker.
"Of course." Du Ruo thought for a while, but got out of the car and greeted Gu Ran with a smile, although he knew that he might scare the woman next to Gu Ran.
Sure enough, when Zhou Mingxiu saw a handsome man stepping out of the car that she had just used as a mirror, she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. This man had been sitting in the car, so he had just combed his hair.
The scenes of getting my hair done and getting dressed, and even... wiping off the shit from my eyes were all seen by the other party without missing a beat!
"Were you sitting in the car just now?" Zhou Mingxiu asked with a sense of luck. Maybe he just parked the car here and no one was in it at all.
"Yes." Of course Du Ruo knew why Zhou Mingxiu asked. He wanted to say no, but he was always honest and nodded.
"Haha..." The last trace of hope was ruthlessly shattered, and Zhou Mingxiu could only smile dryly to cover up his embarrassment.
"Pretty uncle, why are you here?" Gu Ran didn't understand the inexplicable conversation between the two adults. He only cared about what he wanted to know: "Have you seen my dad recently? However, you haven't seen him for a long time."
Because he gets upset every time he mentions his parents, Gu Ran hasn't asked about his father for a long time. Now that his mother is not here, it shouldn't matter if he asks his beautiful uncle about his father. Gu Ran comforted himself in his heart.
, he didn’t betray his mother, he just missed his father too much.
"Your father is very good, but how are you doing with your mother?" Du Ruo didn't expect that Gu Ran's first words were about asking him about Gu Chao, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Xiao Ran, do you know him?" Zhou Mingxiu pointed at Du Ruo and asked if Gu Ran knew him. After all, society is not peaceful now. Although this person looks sanctimonious, who knows if he is a bad person at heart.
"Well, the beautiful uncle is mom's good friend," Gu Ran nodded, then leaned into Zhou Mingxiu's ear and lowered his voice and continued, "But he always wants to compete with dad for mom, so Xiao Ran doesn't like him very much."
Although Gu Ran's words were vague, the smart Zhou Mingxiu still understood. The man in front of him turned out to be Sister Qin's suitor. But what Zhou Mingxiu didn't understand was that this man clearly looked very shrewd.
, why do you do things that destroy other people’s families?
She intuitively believed that Qin Juchu divorced Gu Ran's father because of the man in front of her, so she looked at him differently.
Du Ruo looked at Zhou Mingxiu with some confusion. For some reason, he always felt that there was a trace of contempt in the eyes of the other person looking at him.
Just as Du Ruo and Zhou Mingxiu were looking at each other, Qin Yuchu and Zhou Mingyuan walked in from the gate carrying two large bags of fresh ingredients. "Du Ruo, why are you here?" Qin Yuchu looked surprised when he saw Du Ruo and kept his work a secret.
She did such a good job, she didn't know how Du Ruo found her.
"Juchu, long time no see." Compared to Qin Yuchu's surprise, Du Ruo seemed very calm, "Are you okay?"
"Well, it's good." Seeing Du Ruo again, Qin Yuchu was full of emotions. It had been almost half a year. She hadn't contacted the friends she was familiar with. She had almost forgotten her past life. "Now that I'm here, I
Come and sit at my house."
Qin Juchu invited this old friend. After all, she and Du Ruo have been good friends for many years, and what happened last time had nothing to do with him.
"Sister Qin, who is this?" Zhou Mingxiu, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up. Only then did Qin Yuchu remember that he should introduce everyone to each other first.
"This is Du Ruo, a good friend of mine who I have known for many years," Qin Yuchu introduced Du Ruo to Zhou Mingxiu with a smile, her voice full of tenderness, then turned to Du Ruo and introduced Zhou Mingxiu and Zhou Mingyuan to him, "This is Zhou Mingxiu, this is
It’s Zhou Mingyuan, they are siblings, our two families live on opposite sides of the same floor, and they take good care of me and Xiaoran.”
"Hello, Miss Zhou. Nice to meet you." Du Ruo nodded to the siblings and then extended his hand to Zhou Mingxiu.
Zhou Mingxiu was a little embarrassed and couldn't let go of Du Ruo seeing her embarrassment. However, the other party behaved so appropriately, and it was hard for him to offend Sister Qin. After all, he was the one who raised the question first.
"Hello." Zhou Mingxiu stretched out his hand and shook it casually with Du Ruo, then immediately retracted it.
"Don't stand here stupidly. Come and sit at home." Qin Yuchu did not notice anything strange between the two of them and reminded everyone with a smile.
"Wait a minute," Du Ruo walked to the car, opened the trunk, took out a large gift box and handed it to Gu Ran, "Of course, this is for you.
The remote control plane printed on the gift box was indeed the toy Gu Ran had always wanted, but the toy was given by a beautiful uncle, so he didn't know whether he should accept it or not.
"Xiao Ran, Uncle Du specially picked a gift for you, please thank Uncle Du quickly." Qin Ruochu saw his son's hesitation and was afraid that Du Ruo would not come to power, so he quickly reminded Gu Ran and asked him to accept the gift.
"Thank you, Uncle Du." Gu Ran took the gift box and thanked him reluctantly. His father was not here and he didn't know if his mother would be snatched away by his beautiful uncle. He was really worried.
Because there was one more person, Qin Yuchu asked Zhou Mingyuan to go down and buy some semi-finished cooked food for processing. As for Zhou Mingxiu, who had a grudge in her heart, she kept hiding in the kitchen and refused to come out on the pretext of helping. So for a while, she just
Du Ruo and Gu Ran were left sitting in the living room, one big and one small, staring at each other.
"Pretty uncle, can you please stop snatching mom from my dad?" Gu Ran, who couldn't sit still, finally said, his dad is not here, he must protect his mom for his dad, and she must not be snatched away by other men.
"What if your mother chose Uncle Du?" Du Ruo didn't answer the question and faced Gu Ran calmly.
"No, mom only has my dad in her heart." Gu Ran said anxiously, hoping that the beautiful uncle could understand that mom can only belong to dad.
Du Ruo smiled and touched Gu Ran's head, not commenting on his words. He was just a three or four year old child. No matter how precocious he was, he didn't know much about the love between men and women. There was no need for him to take him seriously.
Qin Yuchu's dry pot chicken tonight was particularly successful, and everyone in the room enjoyed the meal very much. Qin Yuchu was happy because his old friend came to see him, and even bought a few bottles of beer. However, because Du Ruo had to drive later, so
All this wine went into the bellies of Qin Yuchu and Zhou Mingxiu.
Both women were a little tipsy. Qin Youchu's appearance brought back memories of the past because of Du Ruo's appearance. Those people and things that she deliberately avoided seemed to be rushing toward her in an instant, and she couldn't stop them.
As for Zhou Mingxiu, it was because of He Dong's chaos and abandonment. That cold and handsome man was her first love... She had sent him the address of Mingyuan's new home for a long time, but he had never come to visit.
Own.
The two preoccupied women kept clinking glasses and laughing while drinking, using laughter to cover up their inner pain and loss.
Du Ruo was a little helpless. Originally, he just wanted to come and see Qin Yuchu, have a good chat with her, and tell her how much he missed her these days. However, he didn't expect that she would become extremely drunk, and Gu Ran would stare at him with a hostile face.
.As for the bald little boy, he has been busy taking care of two drunk women.
Du Ruo, who felt that it would be of no use if he stayed, had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye, and hurriedly left Qin Yuchu's home. Anyway, he already knew the whereabouts of Yuchu and could visit her at any time.
Du Ruo's departure made Gu Ran, who had always been on alert, breathe a sigh of relief. He helped his father again. When he saw his father, he must praise him well and choose a big gift to reward him.
As for the remote control plane sent by Uncle Du, although it was very tempting, he would never touch it because it would be disloyal to his father. Gu Ran stared at the airplane gift box Du Ruo gave him and secretly made up his mind.
That night, Mingyuan took care of Gu Ran to sleep. Qin Yuchu and Zhou Mingxiu were so drunk that they fell unconscious. Mingyuan had no choice but to help them sleep on the sofa in the living room because the bed in the bedroom was too high and he really couldn't.
Use your strength to get them up there.
Since that time, Du Ruo often came to visit Qin Yuchu's mother and son from time to time. Zhou Mingxiu also learned from Qin Yuchu's mouth that Du Ruo was not the third party between her and Gu Chao, and her impression of him also changed greatly.
Disgusted, and even greatly moved by his deep love for Qin Yuchu.
Sometimes when Du Ruo came and Qin Yuchu was not at home, Zhou Mingxiu would invite him to his home.
"You know, when we first met, Xiaoran said that you were the one who robbed Sister Qin from his father. At that time, I thought you were the third party between them." Zhou Mingxiu brought a glass.
Warm water and put it on the coffee table in front of Du Ruo.
Du Ruo came a little early today. Qin Yuchu was still on his way home from the flower shop. He originally planned to pick up Qin Yuchu, but Qin Yuchu firmly refused. In desperation, he knocked on the door of Zhou Mingxiu's house.
She opened the door and planned to sit at her house for a while and wait for Qin Juchu to come back.
"No wonder, I said it was obviously the first time we met, why was there hostility in your eyes?" Du Ruo paused, then continued with a smile, "I originally thought it was because I accidentally saw you tidying up your appearance.
Look."
"Stop it! That is my lifelong gray memory. Please don't mention it again. Just forget about it, Amen." Zhou Xiuming put the index finger of his right hand on the palm of his left hand and made a stop gesture to Du Ruo.
Du Ruo was amused by her exaggerated and funny language and exaggerated gestures, shaking his head and laughing. But he didn't know that his smile made Zhou Mingxiu lose his mind.
Zhou Mingxiu always knew that Du Ruo was a beautiful man, but she never expected that his smile could be so breathtakingly beautiful. Although he could always see his smile, that mask-like smile was different from his true smile just now.
The difference between cloud and mud.
It turns out that she is just a free-spirited woman after all. A few days ago she was still worried about Donglao, but now she is easily moved by a smile from another man.
From then on, Zhou Mingxiu seemed to have a hint of expectation for Du Ruo's visit. Although she knew that his arrival and departure were not because of her, she could not help but secretly look forward to it in her heart.
This may be the most painful kind of love in the world - secret love, but it is also the safest kind of love, because there will be no loss or betrayal. As long as you are willing, you can keep this love alone forever.
Zhou Mingxiu just quietly fell in love with Du Ruo's infatuation and beauty, but she never thought about possessing him, because she knew Du Ruo's deep love for Qin Yuchu, and she also knew Qin Yuchu's love for their siblings.
and care.
Therefore, blessing is her only attitude towards Du Ruo and Qin Yuchu.
As for his own feelings, he can only pack up his heart, which is hidden in the upper left corner, locked and dusted. Maybe one day, there will be a chance to open it again, but Zhou Mingxiu knows that it will be difficult for that day to come.
"Sister, why are you in a daze again? Haven't you been able to get any work recently?" Zhou Mingyuan waved his hand back and forth in front of Zhou Mingxiu's eyes and asked with some worry.
"How could it be? Your sister and I are a high-volume author, and I have too much work to handle." Zhou Mingxiu came back to his senses and clapped his brother's hand away, praising himself quite proudly.
Today Du Ruo came again and brought Sister Qin a ruby ring, but Sister Qin rejected it. Du Ruo's disappointed look when he left made Zhou Mingxiu feel heartbroken.
If it were him, I'd probably be overjoyed, but unfortunately relationships are never one-on-one. Du Ruo loves Qin Yuchu deeply, but Qin Yuchu never forgets his ex-husband. Although he talks about resentment and hatred, every time he mentions it,
The look in his eyes cannot be concealed.
As for her, she could only hide in her own world, suffering from extremely small but constant bleeding wounds alone, feeling dejected.
"Sister, I noticed that something is wrong with you recently. Is it because of He Dong? You still can't forget him?"
Of course Zhou Mingyuan didn't know what Zhou Mingxiu was thinking, because she hid it so well that even her own younger brother didn't notice it at all.
"Of course not. He and I have become a thing of the past. Don't mention him in the future. It's getting late and go to bed quickly." Zhou Mingxiu smiled and patted his brother on the shoulder, urging him to go to rest quickly. No matter what he said to him,
After all, he is a patient.
After taking care of her younger brother to sleep, Zhou Mingxiu sat down in front of the computer again and started typing. Perhaps because of her secret love for Du Ruo, her relationship had sustenance, and she also tasted the taste of secret love, so she was particularly inspired at this time, and wrote as follows
With God's help, Yang Yangsa Sa soon published a short story of tens of thousands of words.
Of course, the female protagonist in the short story who has a crush on the male protagonist finally gets her wish and has the male protagonist. Since it cannot be realized in real life, then let her use it to her fullest in her novel. After all, this is a world where she can make the decision.
, no one can doubt whether the plot is really possible, because this is just a novel.
Sister Qin is so strange today. While watering the flowers, Zhou Mingyuan would glance at Qin Yuchu who was pruning the flower branches from time to time.
He still remembered that when Sister Qin taught him how to arrange flowers, she said that she was a flower lover. Although she was pruning the flower branches, it was not to speed up the demise of the flowers, but to keep these beautiful flowers alive.
When it blooms most prosperously, it appears in its most beautiful appearance in front of the people who need it most and like it the most.
So every time when Sister Qin was arranging flowers, she always had a calm face and an intoxicating smile, as if she was communicating with the flowers. But today, she was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic, frowning and sighing from time to time.
.
They looked similar to my sister last night. What happened to them? Zhou Mingyuan's brows slowly wrinkled as he thought about it.
At this time, Qin Yuchu was very upset, and she was not as calm as usual. The appearance of Du Ruo caused her finally calm Xinhu to become turbulent again.
Yesterday, Du Ruo proposed to her again. Although she had already made up her mind to reject him, the hurt look in Du Ruo's eyes made her blame herself.
She didn't want to fall into the same predicament as before, with Du Ruo on one side and Gu Chao on the other. She was caught in a dilemma and exhausted.
During these days, she took Xiaoran by herself and lived a peaceful life. Although she was still heartbroken when thinking of the child who died young, at least there was no hysteria like at the beginning.
She cherishes the peaceful days now and doesn't want anyone to disturb this rare tranquility. But Du Ruo's unchanging affection puts a lot of pressure on her. Du Ruo's melancholy and hurt eyes always make her feel that she is an unforgivable sinner.
of bad guys.
She didn't know how long she could resist, and whether she would be able to refuse Du Ruo's proposal next time.
During this period, Du Ruo basically came to Qin Yuchu's place to have a meal whenever he had time. Therefore, Qin Yuchu's originally small home seemed even more crowded, and the small dining table was always full of people every day, making it particularly lively.
He still brings gifts to Gu Ran every time. Although he has never seen Gu Ran open these gifts, perseverance has always been his greatest strength. In other words, besides persistence, he doesn't know what else he can do.
Qin Yuchu knew that Du Ruo would not give up easily just because of her rejection, so she always felt a little uncomfortable when she got along with him, and she felt like he was in danger. As long as she felt something was wrong in Du Ruo's words, she would immediately change the subject.
, or simply leave temporarily for an excuse.
Du Ruo naturally saw all these reactions of hers, but he could only smile bitterly in his heart. After so many years of getting along, Yu Chu still didn't understand him. Even if he was longing for it, as long as Qin Yuchu showed the slightest reluctance, he would never
It will be forced.
Sometimes he also wonders if this is the reason why he has never been able to get Yu Chu. If he is asked to force Yu Chu like Gu Chao did, he can't do it.
He always respected Qin Yuchu.
Qin Yuchu could not accept Du Ruo's affection, and Qin Yuchu could turn a blind eye to Du Ruo's pain. But there was one person who could not remain indifferent.
After dinner, when Du wanted to leave, Zhou Mingxiu made excuses and followed him out.
"Miss Zhou, I'm leaving first."
Du Ruo walked to his car, used the remote control to unlock the car, and prepared to get in the car.
"We are all so familiar with each other and we can be considered friends. Why do you keep calling Miss Zhou so out of touch? From now on, just call me Mingxiu."
"Okay, Mingxiu." Du Ruo smiled as she wished. He had always been a kind-hearted person, treating everyone with humility and courtesy but giving people a slight sense of alienation.
Perhaps it was this desire to get close to him that made Zhou Mingxiu fascinated by him. Every inch of Du Ruo's body was a story that attracted her.
"Mingxiu, is there anything else?"
Du Ruo spoke again, interrupting Zhou Mingxiu's thoughts. Only then did she remember her purpose of following him down, "Oh, I want to give this book to you."
Zhou Mingxiu handed Du Ruo a book with a silver cover, which contained several of her short stories. There were several sentences in the short stories that she had always wanted to say to Du Ruo, but had not had the courage to say them.
"Is it written by you, great writer?" Du Ruo took the book with a smile and made a rare witty remark.
"What? It's just a few articles. Every friend of mine has given them to me. If you have time, you can read them." Zhou Mingxiu explained with his hands in the back pockets of his pants, trying his best to give them to himself.
The behavior of the book does not appear abrupt.
"I will definitely take a good look at it, thank you." Du Ruo nodded, his expression was very serious when he spoke, and Zhou Mingxiu seemed to be able to feel the sincerity in his words.
"Why don't you ask me to sign it for you? Maybe you can sell it for a good price in the future." Zhou Mingxiu tilted his head, winked at Du Ruo, and said mischievously.
"It's what I asked for." Du Ruo presented the book with both hands and actually waited for Zhou Mingxiu to sign it for him.
"Okay, let's wait until I really become a great writer one day." Zhou Mingxiu laughed and waved his hands, carefully expressing his concern for the man in front of him. "It's getting late. You should go back early and drive on the road.
Be careful."
"Thank you for the book." Du Ruo nodded, turned around, opened the car door, started the car and left.
Zhou Mingxiu stood there quietly, watching his car go away until he could no longer see it, then reluctantly turned around and went upstairs. Hope that he could really see what she wanted to tell him.
"Gu Chao, where did you hide Fu Chu?"
On this day, when Gu Chao walked out of his residence, an unexpected person appeared in front of him, blocking his love path.
"Wu Jinpeng, you don't deserve to talk to me." Gu Chao glanced at the man in front of him contemptuously and walked directly past him.
"Gu Chao, you will pay for your arrogance today." Wu Jinpeng dropped these words before Gu Chao got in the car.
Gu Chao raised his lips sarcastically and sneered at Wu Jinpeng's threat. He, Gu Chao, did not look down upon this shameless man who relied on nepotism to climb up the ranks.
"Gu Chao, my mother is sick and is alone in the hospital. Can you go back to City A to stay with your mother?"
Gu Chao received a call from Zhao Ke. Zhao Ke's voice sounded very tired on the phone. Gu Chao felt sour in his heart. He was busy with the company and looking for Qin Yuchu, but he hadn't cared about his mother for a long time.
Although she blamed her for causing Qin Yuchu to have a miscarriage, she was the mother who gave birth to her after all. Now that she is divorced from her father, it must be a very hard life for her alone.
"Mom, I will go back to see you tomorrow."
It was rare that Gu Chao listened to his mother's words like this. Zhao Ke hung up the phone and tears began to fall down. As strong as she was, after losing her husband and family, she became as fragile as an ordinary woman.
She accidentally contracted acute pneumonia two days ago, and being hospitalized alone made her feel more miserable than ever before. Fortunately, she still had a son, Gu Chao. Thinking that she would be able to see her son tomorrow, Zhao Ke wiped away his tears and showed a reassuring smile.
"Mr. Gu, the person behind the animation base project has been found."
Just after hanging up the phone from his mother, He Dong's call came in.
"Okay, let's talk about it in person. I'm on my way to the Champs Elysées Hotel now. You can go directly to Room 601 to find me later." Gu Chao made an appointment with some business partners today to talk some things at the Champs Elysées Hotel.
A better business.
Lifting the Rolex on his wrist, the hour hand pointed to a quarter past ten. It was still early before the time agreed with the client, which should be enough time for him to discuss things with He Dong.
"Okay, I'll go now."
Originally, He Dong and Gu Chao lived together, but recently due to frequent accidents at the company, both of them were running around day and night, and basically had no time to return to the hotel where they lived. It was always convenient and nearby.
rest.
"Zhizhong, please come to Room 601 of the Champs Elysées right now. There is something important." After hanging up He Dong's phone, Gu Chao seemed to remember something and dialed Fan Zhizhong's cell phone again.
"Who is behind this?"
In Room 601 of the Champs Elysées, Gu Chao sat lazily on the sofa with his legs crossed on the coffee table. He had been so tired these past few days that he could fall asleep just by touching the pillow.
However, he likes his current situation very much. At least his work has filled the gap caused by Qin Yuchu's disappearance, leaving him no time to think about Qin Yuchu and temporarily forgetting the pain of losing his beloved.
"A company named Jinchu." He Dong's cold voice came from inside. His schedule was so full that he didn't even have time to drink water, so as soon as he came to the room, the first thing he did was
Go to the pantry and pour some water.
"Jin Chu..." Gu Chao muttered the name, and a playful smile gradually appeared on his face. He thought he seemed to know who was behind the scenes.
"The mastermind behind the scenes is Wu Jinpeng." Gu Chao said this with certainty without blinking. He did not use a question, but an affirmative.
"Yes, Mr. Gu guessed it right. It was this guy who used a small company registered with another legal person to instigate other companies that were interested in the land of the animation base, and kept putting pressure on the government of City B."
He Dong drank a glass of ice water in one breath, then poured another glass and held it in his hand, slowly walking to the sofa where Gu Chao was sitting.
Gu Chao looked longingly at the ice water in He Dong's hand, "I want it too."
He Dong looked at Gu Chao, handed the water glass to his boss expressionlessly, then stood up and poured himself another glass. He knew that Gu Chao's schedule was fuller than his own, so his hard work was definitely not inferior to his own.
.
"Have you thought of how to deal with him?" Gu Chao drank the ice water in one breath and regained a little energy.
"Wu Jinpeng has been deliberately expanding his business scope over the years and has done a lot of bad things. As long as we put in a little effort, it will not be difficult to catch him. If Mr. Gu is willing, we can make him unable to stand up forever.
"He Dong said calmly, as if he was talking about today's weather.
"I'll leave this matter to you," Gu Chao nodded. He was very clear about the abilities of his assistant. "My mother is sick. I have to go back to City A tomorrow. It will probably take some time to get there."
Come back and contact me anytime if anything happens."
"Okay, Madam, is there still no news?"
When Qin Juchu was mentioned, Gu Chao's expression immediately turned gloomy. He shook his head and sighed helplessly, "Mumu will probably avoid me for the rest of his life."
"Don't be discouraged. City B is not big. There will always be a day when we meet." He Dong's words were not so much to comfort Gu Chao as to encourage himself. "Didn't you say last time that you saw a hotel called
Ruichu’s flower shop, do you suspect it is the young lady’s new flower shop?”
"But then I went there several times, but I never saw that flower shop again." Gu Chao frowned with a headache. He didn't understand why the street disappeared out of thin air. Could it be that what he saw that day was just

In fact, Gu Chao was right. He had already forgiven He Dong in his heart. After all, he and Yuanyuan had always been in love with each other, and Yuanyuan had never responded to his feelings. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yuanyuan
The one I like is He Dong.
