After Gu Xicen left, Lin Hui sat in the room, playing music and reading the local newspaper.
There are two tea sets on the table and a pot of freshly brewed Longjing tea.
She is waiting for someone.
Sure enough, her doorbell rang.
She curled her lips, stood up, and opened the door, "Mr. Gu, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
When Gu Changtian saw Lin Hui, his thick eyebrows tightened little by little, and his eyes were gleaming, "Xiao Hui, I haven't seen you for a long time, why didn't you say hello when you came back?"
Lin Hui smiled and let him in, "I'm afraid that I'll be invited to have tea by Mr. Gu's people before my plane lands. It's better to drink tea here in peace and quiet."
Gu Changtian walked in slowly, his eyes never leaving her for a moment, "Is that letter from you?"
"Haha, what else? Who else in this world knows what you have done?" Lin Hui sat down, her clear eyes forming an indifferent arrow of light, directed towards Gu Changtian.
Gu Changtian calmly sat down and said, "I came here today to clear up those misunderstandings from the past."
Lin Hui poured him tea and handed it over, "Please."
Gu Changtian lowered his head and glanced, but didn't answer.
Lin Hui laughed and said, "Mr. Gu, after so many years of not seeing you, you have become less courageous. Are you afraid that I will poison you? Don't worry, I didn't do such a thing more than 20 years ago, and I won't do it now."
Gu Changtian squinted his eyes, took the tea, stared at her, but drank the tea decisively.
Lin Hui's posture is elegant and calm. These years of experience have taught her to hide her sharpness in her chest and keep her gentleness on her face. She must avoid sharp edges no matter when dealing with people or things. Especially when the other party is an old fox like Gu Changtian.
"Xiaohui, you have misunderstood things in the past, and you still don't listen to my explanation. This really makes me embarrassed."
Lin Hui waved her hand and said, "Mr. Gu, if you have something to say, just say it. I don't think you would believe those words yourself? Then don't fool me. I'm no longer the teenager I was back then."
Gu Changtian was stunned by her, and his face looked a little ugly, but immediately he calmed down again, sat back on the chair, and asked awkwardly in a cold voice, "Where is Zhenghua?"
"Zhenghua..." Lin Hui murmured this name that she loved so much, lowered her eyes and smiled, "He is fine now, and I don't want anyone to disturb him for the time being."
When Gu Changtian heard this, his breathing became heavy. He had his pride, and he would never ask questions about his son again! He just assumed that Gu Changtian's son was dead!
"Okay then, let's talk about the formula." Gu Changtian said word by word, "Give me the formula. Whatever you want, just open your mouth!"
Lin Hui twitched the tea cup with her fingers and said casually, "You can give me whatever I want?"
Gu Changtian nodded, "Of course!"
Lin Hui raised her eyes and looked at him, "I want Kayukjing."
Gu Changtian looked at her coldly, "What do you mean?"
"You understand in your heart! Bian Yujing is the ancestral property of our Lin family. We have occupied it for so many years. Do you think that changing its appearance means that it becomes your Gu family's property? Gu Changtian, it is unreasonable for my father to trust you so much. You are just a villain who deceives your friends!"
Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Gu Changtian had a gloomy face and stared at her with a cold smile, "It's because your father didn't manage his business well. He locked himself up all day long to deal with those rouge and gouache, and brought a good factory to the point where it was about to close down! If it hadn't been for it,
I, the workers who have worked with him for so many years, will starve to death sooner or later! Which one of them is not grateful to me now? Who can remember your father? I am the one who manages gl today. Do you think?
Just rely on the empty shell of your Lin family?"
Lin Hui suppressed the resentment in her heart, her eyes were cold, "Since Mr. Gu is so capable, why do you still need to follow me to make the formula?"
"That thing is a waste if you keep it in your hands! Why don't you give it to me and let me carry it forward!" Gu Changtian said domineeringly.
"Haha, back then, you found someone to arrest me, beat me half to death, and finally raped me. I didn't even say a word. Do you expect me to hand you over now?"
Gu Changtian's expression changed. Even if there was no third person present, talking about this matter would not be very honorable. He sighed, "That matter is indeed a misunderstanding. I just asked them to invite you over, no
To think that these crazy people would do this!" As he spoke, he patted the table angrily.
Lin Hui smiled, "Yes, I believe you just asked them to teach me a lesson, and you didn't ask them to do anything worse than an animal."
These words sounded really awkward to Gu Changtian's ears.
He didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, and said a little impatiently, "I didn't pursue the matter of Zhenghua's elopement with you. I just don't want to make any more grudges. After all, I still miss my old relationship. Otherwise, I won't support your daughter."
, after letting her finish her studies, let her work in GL, and even married her into the Gu family and became my granddaughter-in-law! Why do I do so much? Don’t you just want to resolve the misunderstanding between our two families? "
Lin Hui sneered and asked, "Are you really doing it for Xiaoyue?"
Gu Changtian frowned and glanced at her with sullen eyes, "So, what about you? You clearly knew that I funded her, and you still hinted that she should come to me. Why? Hum, I still remember that poor man
When the child appeared in front of me, she cried and said that she wanted to borrow money to save her mother. Don't think that I don't know that placing her here is just a tool for you to use for revenge!"
As he said that, he sighed again, "But who asked me to miss my old relationship with your father? Even though I knew this, I treated her like my own granddaughter. If you don't believe it, ask Xiaoyue, I
How does grandpa treat her?"
Lin Hui's eyes darkened and she chuckled, "If she were not my daughter, if she was not from the Lin family, how would you treat her like this?" She raised her eyes and said coldly, "Gu Changtian, you and I, both
She is a sinner in this world. No one has the right to say how good she is to that child. It’s disgusting. I admit that the biggest mistake I made was sending her to the Gu family. Whenever I hear the news about her, I
Everyone will be sad, especially when I learned that I lost a granddaughter. At that moment, I regretted it. That's why I decided to come back to you."
Gu Changtian looked gloomy, "What exactly do you want?"
"Ask me what I want?" Lin Hui lowered her head and smiled, "Originally, I also wanted your family to be destroyed, even at the expense of my daughter. However, I changed my mind three years ago. Because I suddenly discovered that even if everyone in your Gu family died,
The light is gone, and what I lost is lost forever..."
She narrowed her eyes tightly, her eyes flashing brightly, and the look on her face was one of nostalgia for the past.
She bet her daughter's happiness just to make a last-ditch effort for the Lin family. It wasn't until the day Zhenghua left her that she became confused and sat at home for three days without eating or drinking. Only then did she realize
, for a person who has lost her love, everything she does has no meaning anymore.
She thought that Gu Zhenghua's three-year filial piety was punishment. After that, she came back and she wanted to completely solve all this.
Gu Changtian stared at her closely. Lin Hui adjusted her mood. When she raised her head, her eyes were so clear that no one could see through them. "I came here to tell you that the formula is not in my hands at all, let alone mine."
My daughter, so from now on, don’t make things difficult for her anymore.”
"This is impossible!" Gu Changtian stood up suddenly and said excitedly, "That is the heirloom of your Lin family. How come it's not in your hands? How can you explain what you sent me?"
"It's just a joke on you, why should I take it seriously?" Lin Hui laughed, "Didn't you realize that it was basically an excerpt from "Compendium of Materia Medica"?"
Gu Changtian couldn't listen at all, "No! It must be at your brother's place!"
"Him?" Lin Hui sneered, "That philistine loser, I really doubt that he is not our Lin family. He has completely disgraced the Lin family! Do you think he would keep such a valuable thing in his hands to this day?"
Gu Changtian hesitated and had to admit that what she said was right. But he was unwilling to accept it and immediately asked, "Your father regards this formula as more important than life. He cannot throw it away casually! It must be
You're lying!"
Lin Hui smiled, "You are right, he did regard it as his destiny. Because of this, he took it away together."
Gu Changtian was shocked, "You...what did you say?!"
"I said, he took that recipe to another place." Lin Hui always kept smiling. She had to see clearly that Gu Changtian's disbelief at this moment was really funny.
"No! No! He once said..." Suddenly, Gu Changtian was stunned.
Lin Hui spoke slowly, "If the formula is there, he will be there. If the formula dies, he will die."
Gu Changtian stood there in a daze, unable to believe that the thing he had dreamed of for half his life no longer existed in the world?!
"That's what my father said and what he did." Lin Hui admired his expression and said calmly, "He burned the formula and then hanged himself."
"You lied!" Gu Changtian struggled to deny it, "If that's the case, why didn't you say it earlier? Are you saying it now?"
If she had told her earlier, she might have suffered less. Why did she have to endure so much just for a ruined formula?
Immediately, his eyes lit up and he quickly said, "You have memorized the content on it, right?"
Lin Hui suddenly laughed loudly, as if laughing at his stupidity. She laughed so hard that Gu Changtian's face turned livid, and his eyes were about to burst into flames, "What are you laughing at!"
"Gu Changtian, do you know how interesting it would be to let a person have a dream for decades and then tell him personally that you are wishful thinking? Haha..."
Gu Changtian's chest heaved violently, and his face turned from blue to white. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly lost his breath. His body tensed up and he fell on the sofa. He gasped sharply, pointed at Lin Hui with trembling fingers, and his eyes widened.
, lips turn blue.
Lin Hui gradually stopped laughing, and her face became colder.
Gu Changtian seemed to be getting more and more uncomfortable. He fell from the sofa to the ground. At nearly seventy years old, he looked old and pitiful.
Lin Hui stared coldly at his painful struggle and curled her lips into a smile.
She was really happy to see her enemy lingering under her feet, but she would not forget that this man was Zhenghua's father and Xicen's grandfather.
Lowering her eyes, she lazily stood up, walked to the door, opened it, and shouted to the two bodyguards guarding the door, "Hey, if you don't want him to die here, take him to the hospital quickly."
The two people came in immediately, saw Gu Changtian's appearance, and hurriedly lifted him up. Until Gu Changtian left, his wide eyes were staring at Lin Hui for a moment.
Lin Hui stood at the door and waved to him.
Back in the room, she sat down, lowered her head, and took out the recorder stuck there from under the coffee table...
…
Although Lin Yuer didn't say anything, Gu Xicen knew in her heart that she was always worried about Lin Hui. However, since Lin Hui promised him not to show up again, he believed that time would heal her heart.
That scar. But surprisingly, he received a call from Lin Hui.
The two met again the next day, in a teahouse on an old street in E City.
"Nowadays, places like this are rare." Lin Hui poured him a cup of tea and smiled softly, "When I was a child, I often came here. At that time, this shop was still opened by a northern couple. I didn't know
, Now it has fallen a few times, but it is rare for it to remain the same. "
Gu Xicen listened silently and did not answer. He knew very well that when she came out to him, it was not just a simple chat.
After taking a sip of tea, Lin Hui squinted her eyes enjoying the comfortable sunshine, and then pointed to the opposite side, "Our Lin family's Bian Yujing once opened there."
Gu Xicen raised her eyebrows, turned her head, and saw a row of fashionable clothing stores opposite.
"I heard my father say that when I was just born, this street was the most prosperous in the whole city, and it was also the favorite place for women to visit." She lowered her head and sighed quietly, "Sure enough, people age.
When you grow up, you will like to spend time in memories." I don't know whether she was talking about her father or herself. That kind of sentimentality is embarrassing.
Looking up again, she smiled and said, "I'm going back to Germany."
Gu Xicen looked back at her, "Are you sure?"
Lin Hui nodded, "Everything that needs to be done has been done, there is nothing uncertain anymore."
Gu Xicen looked at her deeply, "Do you want to see Xiaoyue?"
Lin Hui waved her hand, "No, I promised you, and I will abide by the agreement." She took out a brown paper bag from her bag and handed it over, "This is for her, whether she hates it or complains in the future,
No matter what, we, mother and daughter, also suffered from this."
Although she said it calmly, Gu Xicen still felt a touch of sadness in it.
After pondering, he said, "Actually, you can also start over, including with Xiaoyue."
Lin Hui smiled lowly and shook her head, "She needs a new life, a new life without me, Gu Wangchuan, and Mint. I don't want to get involved in it anymore." Looking at him, she said, "Treat her well.
.This is... my last request as her mother."
Gu Xicen nodded deeply, "I will."
"Okay, it's time for me to go, otherwise I won't be able to catch the plane."
"I send you."
"No need, I am alone every time I leave, and I don't want to be an exception this time." When she walked to the door, she stopped again, turned her head sideways, and said softly, "There is a gift for you there, I hope
Make good use of it." After saying that, she came to the side of the road, hailed a taxi and left.
