Gu Qingcheng sat in front of the dressing table, staring at herself in the mirror in a daze.
As soon as the door opened, Xu Siqi stepped in.
"Qingcheng, what are you doing?"
"Who are you?"
"I am Xu Siqi, we..."
"I remembered!"
"Remember what?"
"You are the groom. We met yesterday."
"..."
"Where is your bride? She is so beautiful."
"Qingcheng, listen to me, you are the bride and we are husband and wife."
"Am I the bride?"
"right."
"Where was the one yesterday?"
"Her name is Gu Linglong, she is your sister. Your name is Gu Qingcheng."
"Gu Linglong, Gu Qingcheng..."
Gu Qingcheng's eyes were empty and she muttered to herself.
Seeing his newlywed wife become like this, Xu Siqi felt very sad.
Tuk Tuk!
There was a knock on the door outside the house.
Mrs. Gu opened the door and walked in.
She looked at Gu Qingcheng, then at Xu Siqi, and said softly: "Siqi, I didn't disturb you, did I?"
Xu Siqi smiled bitterly and said, "No. Please sit down."
Mrs. Gu sat down.
Gu Qingcheng turned a blind eye to his mother's arrival and played with the objects on the hairdressing table with great interest.
Mrs. Gu sighed and said to Xu Siqi: "There is something I want you to discuss with me."
"You say."
"I only have two daughters. Qingcheng is already like this. I don't want anything to happen to Linglong again."
"The doctor said that Qingcheng has hope of recovery..."
"So, just hoping."
"..."
"If, I mean if. If Qingcheng is always like this, what are you going to do?"
Xu Siqi did not hesitate and said firmly: "Qingcheng is my wife and will always be. No matter what happens, I will always take care of her."
Mrs. Gu was silent for a while and said slowly: "I plan to let Linglong live in your house temporarily."
"Let Linglong live in my house?"
"right."
"Why?"
"Only in this way will those guys who are behind the conspiracy think that they have not arrested the wrong person. Don't get me wrong, Gu Gongguan is not afraid of anyone. It's just that before the matter is found out, it is a kind of protection for Linglong. After all, Ming Ming
It's easy to dodge a gun but hard to defend against a hidden arrow."
"But, for Linglong's reputation..."
"As long as we don't tell ourselves, no one will know the inside story."
Mrs. Gu added: "I said, this is only temporary. When the truth is found out and it is confirmed that it was the Japanese, your father-in-law will expose the Japanese's ugly behavior through diplomatic channels and let their true colors be exposed to the whole world.
That way, Linglong will be truly safe."
Xu Siqi knew that her mother-in-law was by no means a rash person. She must have thought carefully before she could say these words.
From a safety perspective, there is nothing wrong with doing this.
"I've already asked Linglong."
"Linglong she..."
"She's fine."
"However, even if outsiders don't know the inside story, a man and a woman are alone in the same room..."
"I believe in you, and I believe in Linglong."
Speaking of which, Xu Siqi couldn't say anything else. If he continued to push back and forth, it would appear that he had ulterior motives.
…
That night.
Room 9, fourth floor, Shenjiang Apartment.
Across the dining table, Xu Siqi and Gu Linglong sat opposite each other.
The dinner was very sumptuous, with all kinds of delicacies, but neither of them used their chopsticks.
"I know you will definitely feel uncomfortable."
"No."
"there must be."
"I don't have anything to do with it, the main thing is you..."
"I don't want to worry my mother. I hope you can understand."
"I understand."
"That's good."
"Don't worry, this matter will come to light soon."
"Did you find the evidence?"
"The woman who tricked Qingcheng into getting into the car must know you and Qingcheng."
"certainly."
"Assuming it was indeed done by a Japanese, there is a high probability that the woman is also Japanese."
"Why can't it be Chinese?"
"Given the status of the father-in-law, the consequences of this matter are extremely serious. The Japanese are worried about leaking the news, so they will definitely use their own people as much as possible."
"What you said makes sense..."
"I was just thinking that there seems to be only one Japanese woman that both you and Qingcheng know."
"who?"
"Xiaozhi. According to Guo Er's description, the facial features are basically consistent."
"What to do next?"
"We must find Xiaozhi first. As long as we get her confession, we won't be afraid of Japan denying it. By then, you will be truly safe."
"Xiaozhi must be hiding."
"As long as she is in Shanghai, I can find her!" Xu Siqi said confidently.
"Great, I'll be able to go home soon."
Gu Linglong said it was great, but there was no trace of joy on her face.
"Let's eat."
"Um."
The two picked up their chopsticks and ate their meals thoughtfully.
Tuk Tuk!
There was a knock on the door outside the house.
Xu Siqi stood up and walked over, taking a look through the door mirror.
A Gui was very drunk, holding a lady's cigarette between her fingers, standing at the door puffing away smoke.
Opening the door, Xu Siqi said, "Is something wrong?"
"Inspector Xu, do you look down on me?" Agui said with a straight face.
"How do you say this?"
"We live next to each other. When you hold a wedding, why don't you send out an invitation? Why, I, Agui, go to the wedding. Will it embarrass you, Inspector Xu?"
"You misunderstood. I didn't plan to make a big deal out of it. I didn't send out invitations to the whole building."
"Really?"
"You can ask."
"That's pretty much it..."
Agui's expression softened and she said, "You didn't even ask me to come in and sit down?"
"I thought you were going to work..."
"Today is a special situation and I don't want to go."
"Then please come in."
Xu Siqi had no choice but to invite Agui in.
Ordinarily, as Agui's status as a dancing lady, she would not dare to be too presumptuous with Detective Hua.
However, people still need to get along with each other after all.
When dealing with the neighbors in the apartment, Xu Siqi has always been polite and pleasant, without any condescending attitude.
Over time, masters like Agui who do not regard themselves as outsiders will ignore their respective identity symbols.
To put it simply, she didn't think Miss Wu was lowly, nor did she think Detective Hua was unattainable.
After entering the room, Aguiti sniffed it and said, "It smells so good. Are you having dinner?"
Gu Linglong came out and said politely: "Hello, Miss Agui."
"Miss Gu... no, I should call her Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu, I am a thick-skinned person. I came uninvited. I didn't bother you, did I?" Agui said with a chuckle.
The word "Mrs. Xu" made Gu Linglong blush, and she said to cover it up: "How could it be possible? Please sit down quickly."
"I'm not going to sit down. No matter how hard I keep my eyes open, I can't be a lightbulb here. Come and see you, and I'll leave soon... Hey, on such an important day, didn't you two have a drink? As the saying goes, it's a long time.
Jiujiu, why do you drink a cup of wine when you get married? That’s what it means.”
"Well, I forgot to buy wine at home..."
Like a magic trick, Agui took out a bottle of red wine from behind, gently placed it on the coffee table, and said: "No. 50 Skok Red Wine, this is my wedding gift to you."
