Chapter four hundred and eighty seventh is just a woman
"Dang Dang Dang!"
"Sister, can I come in?" Gu Qiang asked standing outside the door after knocking on the door. Although Gu Minglin did not tell Gu Qiang about joining the Bai family and dedicating Gu Yu to the Bai family, Gu Qiang had already passed
He guessed what he heard downstairs before. This matter is not difficult for him to guess, because after Mr. Gu left, the Gu family has been holding family meetings to discuss this matter, but it has been
No results have been drawn. After all, there are many forces in the capital and the relationships between the families are complicated. We must think carefully. Since we have decided to go all-in and give it a go, we must not be careless. Just now he heard that his father was going to take his sister to Baidu.
family, he immediately understood that his father must have decided to defect to the Bai family. Thinking of the family meetings he overheard, he knew that his sister might become a victim of defection, so before his sister went to the Bai family, he had to put some things into his mind.
Tell his sister that after all, he has not been back for more than five years and does not know the capital as well as before. And since he was a child, his sister has been the best to him.
"Is it Xiaoqiang? Come in!"
After Gu Qiang heard this, he held the handle and pushed the door open and walked in. He thought that his father had just spoken and his sister would be changing clothes, but when he entered the room, he found that his sister had not changed clothes or put on makeup.
He was standing quietly in front of the window, as if he was looking at the scenery outside the window, or recalling some past events. In short, his face was expressionless, and his face was a little pale, as if he was ill. Fortunately, he lived in a villa.
, this is the second floor. If he lived in a high-rise building, he even suspected that his sister would jump off the building.
"What's the matter?" Gu Yu asked calmly. She looked back at her brother, and then continued to look out the window. Compared with the tone in which she spoke to Gu Minglin in the living room before, the tone in which Gu Yu spoke to Gu Qiang now
It's much gentler. Although it's not affectionate, at least it's not as resentful as before.
"Sister, are you going to Bai's house with our dad later?" Gu Qiang closed the door and looked at Gu Yu and asked.
"Yes." Gu Yu responded, perhaps thinking that from now on he would become a married man's "qingren". So the expression on Gu Yu's face was very complicated. He couldn't tell whether it was regret or pain. But there was one thing.
What is certain is that she felt very uncomfortable, as if she was being roasted by fire or poured with ice water.
"Sister, is our dad really planning to let you become Bai Yuze's lover... friend in the Bai family?" Gu Qiang asked. He wanted to say "qingren", but when he thought of the object
It was my sister, so I swallowed the last words.
"Do you also know about this? Did dad tell you, or does everyone outside already know about it?" Gu Yu asked. In fact, what she was most worried about was that she was afraid that Wu Tian would know.
"I overheard it," Gu Qiang said. "One night after grandpa left, I heard my father, second uncle, and eldest aunt and second aunt talking about it in the study. In fact, this was not the idea that our father came up with.
, but the eldest aunt proposed it first."
Gu Yu frowned after hearing this. Is it her eldest aunt? She unconsciously thought of the situation in her eldest aunt's family. Her eldest aunt worked in the Women's Federation, her eldest uncle worked in the Ministry of Agriculture, and their son Zheng Guofeng served as the regiment leader in the military region. She was the third member of the Gu family.
He is the better one among the three generations and has a bright future. Of course, this is as long as the Gu family survives. At first, he was protected by the old man, so he rose quickly, and because his position was not big, there was no one to take the position.
That's what happened. But it's different now. The old man of the Gu family is gone and he has lost this protective fan. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to move up in the future.
Gu Yu could think that the reason why her eldest aunt did this was simply to use the power of the Bai family to continue to help her son to advance. After all, the Bai family had a great influence in the army. This powerful background was enough for her son to rise.
Stand firm in the army.
"It's no longer important to me who came up with the idea," Gu Yu said. "Even if it was the eldest aunt's idea, didn't dad agree? If dad didn't agree, would eldest aunt do this? Even if she
If I do this, will I pay attention to her?"
"Sister, you are wrong. I am not here to explain to dad. I just want to tell you that I will always be on your side." Gu Qiang said seriously.
Gu Yu looked back at her brother, smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you!" and then continued to look at the scenery. Support? Yes, what she needs most now is support. Gu Qiang's support will not bring her anything.
, and cannot reverse the current situation. What I have is just a little bit of spiritual comfort.
"Sister, I actually think that if you don't agree, dad will not force you." Gu Qiang added, "As for the surrender, I think even if you don't go, the Bai family will accept our Gu family.
After all, our Gu family is also a family with a history in the capital. Although it is not comparable to those big families, our power cannot be ignored. Giving such a large power to the Bai family is equivalent to having an extra fist. They should
You should be happy, how can you have any ideas for me, sister?"
"Xiaoqiang, you don't understand." Gu Yu said after hearing his brother's words, "My existence is not a bargaining chip, but to deepen the position of the Gu family in the hearts of the Bai family and to bring the two families closer. Dad decided to join the Bai family.
But he doesn't want to become dispensable. He wants the Gu family to become the confidants of the Bai family. However, the current forces of the Gu family alone cannot do it. The Bai family will also definitely treat our Gu family.
Take precautions. Under such circumstances, I became a link between the two families and brought the relationship closer. Although I am not the wife of the Bai family, I can still be regarded as half a daughter-in-law. With this
We, the Gu family and the Bai family, can be considered relatives. This situation is not uncommon in the capital. Many families that are beginning to decline will donate their daughters to those big families in order to
To bring the relationship between the two families closer. This method can usually alleviate the decline of the family, and some will even use this opportunity to make a comeback. If dad wants to be promoted this time, he must get 100% support from the Bai family.
My existence can be regarded as an insurance." Gu Yu saw things very clearly. Although she had not returned to China for many years, she had grown up in such a family since she was a child and had been nurtured all day long. How could she not understand these principles?
Gu Qiang frowned, and then said angrily, "Auntie and the others are really bad. Since they just lack a link, why not let the cousin from the second aunt's family go? Do you have to let me go? They all have foreign surnames now. I think
They are just draining the last resources of our Gu family. Huh!"
Guyu shook his head gently and said, "You may not know that Bai Yuze pursued me back then. You were still young at that time and didn't know about it."
Gu Qiang was stunned when he heard this, and then showed an expression of sudden realization. How come he didn't know about such a big thing? Why didn't anyone tell him? However, Gu Qiang thought of one more thing. He looked at Gu Yu and asked,
"Where's my brother that day? Since Bai Yuze has pursued you, my sister, what happened to my brother that day?"
"Wu Tian...!" Hearing Gu Qiang mention Wu Tian, Gu Yu fell into deep thought, and unconsciously recalled the last moment of her first half of life, that is, the scene when she got along with Wu Tian last night. That might be her
The only thing worth remembering in the first half of her life. As for the rest, most of the memories brought her pain. "Wu Tian and I grew up together and had a good impression of each other. As for Bai Yuze, he was a completely one-sided rogue.
I hate him very much."
"Oh, so that's what happened. But, sister, aren't you afraid that Brother Tian will know when you go to Bai's house this time to find Bai Yuze? If you let him know, have you thought about the consequences? When you
When he got married in Canada, he almost went crazy, and even the top people asked about it. What if you go to work as a "qingren" for that Bai Yuze now, weren't you really crazy that day?" Gu Qiang
He came to Gu Yu and said, "In my opinion, sister, you should still go to Brother Tian and tell him about the Gu family's decision to join the Bai family and your own affairs. I think he will definitely help you. I
I think Brother Tian still loves you very much. As far as I know, after you left, Brother Tian never had a girlfriend. As for getting married later, it was his mother who forced him to get married. I heard that in this matter, Brother Tian
It was a trap, and now Brother Tian and his wife have been separated, and Brother Tian basically stays in his company and does not go back to the woman's home."
Gu Yu was slightly startled when she heard this. After she returned to China, she seldom went out and rarely got together with her former friends. She only knew that Wu Tian was married, but she didn't know who she was married to or what her married life was like.
This is the first time he has heard about Wu Tian's marriage. But it sounds like the other person's marriage is not happy or happy. Think about it, who can be happy marrying someone you don't love? Then
She can understand this feeling, because in a few hours, she will be with someone she doesn't like, or even hates very much.
Gu Yu shook his head and said, "I have nothing to do with him anymore. From now on, I am me and he is him. You don't want to tell him about me, do you hear me?" When Gu Yu returned to China this time, in addition to seeing his grandfather for the last time,
, just to help Tina. Before returning to China, she had already decided that she was just coming back to do things. Other than that, she had nothing to do with Wu Tian. In fact, she had already broken her promise, because after she finished doing things, she
She found Wu Tian and even drank with Wu Tian, but for her, that was the last time, and it could also be regarded as a farewell ceremony. From now on, she vowed never to disturb Wu Tian's life again.
"But……!"
"It's nothing. To me, he has become a thing of the past." Gu Yu said coldly. She forced herself not to think about Wu Tian. In her opinion, she had already been sorry to Wu Tian once and could not have anything happen to him again.
It doesn't matter. Besides, if she goes to Wu Tian again at this time, she may bring trouble to Wu Tian.
Seeing the tangled expression on his sister's face, Gu Qiang knew that her sister's inner thoughts were not what she said, but he had already said everything he could. If his sister didn't listen, there was nothing he could do about them.
"Sister, I have one more thing to tell you, which is about that Bai Yuze." Gu Qiang said, "In addition to his current wife, Bai Yuze also maintained a celebrity. This matter is nothing in the circle.
The secret is that every time he returns to Beijing, he will be with the star. His wife also knows about this, but due to the power of the Bai family, she can only swallow it, not to mention that she joined the Bai family because she took a fancy to Bai.
The power of the family. And as far as I know, besides this female star, Bai Yuze has other women in his workplace. When he returned to Beijing last time, I saw him with a girl in her thirties.
When women are together, I heard Bai Yuze call that woman a director, she must be a woman he met while working locally. In short, his life style is not good, sister, you have to be careful."
"I understand." Gu Yu said calmly. After hearing these words, she didn't have much reaction, because she already knew what kind of virtue Bai Yuze was. He was not honest when he was in college and took a female teacher's
She had a big belly and forced the other party to abort the child in her belly. She almost lost her life. In the end, the Bai family suppressed her and made them pay for the incident. This kind of thing happened to Bai Yuze a lot, and she was used to it.
Even though so many years have passed, dogs can't change from eating shit, so he believes that Bai Yuze won't change much either.
"Then...sister, I'm out. If you need anything from now on, just call me. Ask for news or something. I'm quite good at it." Gu Qiang saw that his sister was not very interested in talking to him, so he left.
He knew that his sister did this for the whole Gu family, so while he felt pity for his sister, he also admired her very much. Not every woman has such a consciousness. At least the few he met,
I often cry and make a fuss at home because of this kind of thing.
Guyu just stood in front of the window. The moment the door closed, she closed her eyes, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes. The so-called strength was just in front of others. After all, she was just a woman. She didn't even have anyone to share her burdens with.
No, not even anyone to talk to. Faced with this situation, how could she not feel aggrieved?
Why was God so unfair to her? He actually asked her to be a "qingren" for a scumbag? Is this God's punishment for her? If it was really a punishment, it would be better to let her die. If I had known that this time she would return home,
Like this, it's better to stay in Canada, even if you stay there forever, although it will be lonely and painful, it will never be like this. In Canada, at least I still miss my parents and family, but now, the lie has been exposed, and there is no missing.
I lost even the slightest sustenance in my heart. Really, I became a puppet.
She stood in front of the window. She watched her father leave the house in the car, and then watched her father return home in the car. She knew that it was almost time, so she stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears. But she found that the tears had already dried up. She walked to the dressing table,
Looking at myself in the mirror, with blank eyes and numb expression, I feel like I have lost my soul.
Gu Yu simply put on makeup so that no trace of crying could be seen, which made her look stronger. Then she changed her clothes and walked out of the room.
In the living room, Gu Minglin was sitting on the sofa, looking at his watch and waiting. After seeing Gu Yu come down from upstairs, he nodded slightly, looked at his daughter's face, and then said, "It's getting late.
Alright, let’s go.”
"...!" Gu Yu said nothing and followed Gu Minglin silently. At this time, she was no longer numb or at a loss. Instead, she was just cold, indifferent, and indifferent, as if she had lost everything in the world.
Got interested.
After driving for about ten minutes, the car stopped outside the gate of a hidden villa area. Gu Minglin took out his ID and handed it to the guard before letting him go. From this, it can be seen that the Biya family lives here.
The place needs to be high-end and confidential.
Cars drive very slowly here, as if they are afraid of disturbing the elderly people walking and exercising around them. If you look carefully, you will find that many of them have appeared on TV, and everyone is followed by guards, even in
Here, they still looked around with vigilance, not daring to show any signs of neglect.
The car stopped in front of a villa. The location of this villa was very good, with a forest behind it and a lake in front. This layout can be regarded as being surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Guyu followed her father out of the car. This place was no stranger to her. She had been here when she went to the Wu family when she was a child. She unconsciously turned her head to look at the other side of the lake. If she remembered correctly, the Wu family was here.
in that direction.
Gu Minglin walked to the door, reached out and rang the doorbell. Not long after, a guard opened the door. As if he knew in advance that Gu Minglin would come, he led Gu Minglin and Gu Yu directly into the house without asking anything.
At this time, there were several people sitting in the living room. One of them sitting in the center was Bai Zhenghui, the boss of the Bai family. Standing behind him was a man in his thirties, with a medium build, parted hair, wearing glasses, and a pair of
The person with sly eyes is Bai Yuze.
Several other people were sitting upright on the chairs, with their buttocks touching only one side of the chair. One of them was saying something to Bai Zhenghui, seemingly reporting on work, while the others had been listening carefully.
"Chief, Minister Gu is here." After the guard stood at attention, he reported to Bai Zhenghui.
Hearing his words, everyone in the room looked at Gu Minglin.
"Minister Gu, welcome." Bai Zhenghui said enthusiastically, but he did not stand up or shake hands with the other party. Instead, he pointed to Gu Minglin and said, "I am listening to the local comrades report on their work. You
Sit down first, I'll be ready soon."
"No rush, no rush, work is important." Gu Minglin said quickly, and then stood aside without sitting down. It was not until the guard put a chair behind him that he slowly sat down, his face still full of emotion.
A serious expression. Gu Yu, on the other hand, stood quietly behind Gu Minglin, silent and expressionless.
