Gu Xiyu and Cheng Qianqian sat in the coffee shop all afternoon, until Ji Zixuan called Cheng Qianqian back to work overtime with him, she left with apology.

"where did you go?"

As soon as he returned to the apartment, he received a question from Ji Chen.

The heating temperature at home is just right. Ji Chen is rarely busy with business. He wore a set of casual clothes and sat on the sofa. News interviews of celebrities were being shown on the TV.

Gu Xiyu closed the door and replied: "See Cheng Qianqian, bring her something."

When he finished speaking and looked up, he found Ji Chen's night-black eyes staring straight at him.

"what?"

Gu Xiyu put on slippers: "You were in country F that day and you bought me the wrong clothes."

The clothes actually came from Ji Chen after seeing a customer one day. He happened to pass by a clothing store with a good reputation and felt that the clothes in it were quite suitable for Gu Xiyu, so he bought a lot of them. When they went back to the hotel to sort them out, they realized that there were a few of them were women's clothing, which were not suitable.

Ji Chen ridiculed at the time: "You are too skinny. I was thinking about buying a smaller one, but I didn't expect it to be a female model."

Gu Xiyu walked to the sofa with his mobile phone, opened the payment software and showed Ji Chen the screen: "She feels that those clothes are too expensive, and I am embarrassed to accept them directly, and insist on transferring the money to me. I will call you the money later. On the number."

Ji Chen raised his eyes and glanced, not paying much attention: "No, my money is yours, just spend whatever I give you."

Gu Xiyu: "..."

After putting away his mobile phone, he asked: "The last time I said yes, the company will give out the results of the investigation in about two weeks. Has the result come out?"

Ji Chen didn't look at him: "I asked the Ministry of Supervision. They said that your matter is more complicated and it will take a few more days. Don't worry."

Gu Xiyu didn’t say anything. Ji Chen might be afraid that he would be upset, so he stood up and said to him: “The person you asked me to check has already been found. I asked Jin Ke to send some of his information to your mailbox. You can go and take a look."

"You can print it out if you need it," Ji Chen paused for a while before continuing, "Show it to your parents."

There is no doubt that Ji Chen should have said to him that the background of the original body has been investigated clearly, so he knows that the relationship between the original body and the family is not good because of his dead brother, and the casualty that ruined other people’s families. God stick.

"That person was brought to court for fraud the year before last. He was found guilty and he is now squatting in jail. If you want to take your parents to confront him, I can also arrange for you." Ji Chen said again.

"Okay, thank you." Gu Xiyu said seriously.

As soon as Gu Xiyu went back to the room and turned on the laptop, the email prompt popped out. He thought it was the information that Jin Ke had sent him, but he didn't expect to click in to see another spam advertisement.

He glanced at it casually, deleted it without seeing anything worthy of attention, and then found the file that Jin Ke had sent about an hour ago. Inside is the personal information of the **** stick, including his family background and all his life experiences before he went to prison, including the people and cases he defrauded, all of which were thoroughly investigated.

Gu Xiyu couldn't help feeling that Ji Chen and his staff were indeed very efficient, and Ji Zixuan's life challenges became more difficult and understandable.

A few days later, with the help of Ji Chen, he brought his parents who had not seen or contacted him for a while to the place where the **** stick was being held.

Gu Xun's leg injury has healed a lot, but he still needs to rely on crutches to walk.

The two people were taken all the way to the place where he visited the prison, with expressions on their faces nervous and at a loss.

Gu Xun asked him, "Ayu, what did you want to bring us here?"

"See someone."

While they were talking, a skeletal man was brought in by the prison guard. His black and white hair has grown to the shoulders, the beard on his face has not been cleaned up, and his whole person looks very sloppy.

"Who is this?" Xu Caiting and the others did not recognize this magic stick, and even frowned in disgust when they saw his appearance.

Gu Xiyu looked at the man with the same inexplicable expression and walked over to the other side of the table to sit down, and then replied: "I told you back then that I killed my father and my mother, and my brothers and sisters would kill my future partner. I was born. A fortune teller with a huge mistake."

When Gu Xun and Xu Caiting heard this, their expressions were shocked. Their gaze shifted from Gu Xiyu to the scruffy man being imprisoned, and then looked at Gu Xiyu again, with shock and surprise written in their eyes.

"He is a professional clerk. He has been wandering around the country for nearly 30 years, swindling and deceiving. The total amount of money he has defrauded has exceeded one million. Later, everything was exposed after he was accused in court. Was locked up." Gu Xiyu said, and handed the documents that he had brought in in front of Gu Xun and Xu Caiting.

Xu Caiting grabbed the information and looked through it with Gu Xun. The sound of the paper screams becomes faster and faster, and they firmly believe that the things that have been in the past two decades have become the indestructible towers in their lives. The paths and choices they make over the years depend on its guidance, but It suddenly collapsed in front of them now.

Gu Xun's crutches slipped from between his arms, and he could only stumble against the wall and barely support his body. Xu Caiting didn't even bother to help him pick up the fallen crutches, rushed to the table and patted the table again, shocking the man on the opposite side.

She tried to grasp the life-saving straw: "You, do you remember me? Twenty years ago, we met in front of a Taoist temple in City C. I was still carrying two children! You said that the one I was holding was a human being. Longfeng, if he can grow up safely, he will definitely be a talent! You also said that the child I was holding and what kind of lone star is he, if there is any length in our family in the future, he will definitely be the cause..."

The magic stick on the other side of the table was stunned for a long time, and said with a smashed mouth: "Auntie, you asked me about things more than 20 years ago, don't I remember?"

"Furthermore, even if it is true, those words of mine are nonsense." It may be because the person has been put in jail, and his response is frank and arrogant.

"Lone Star of Heavenly Evil, you know that these words are false, right? How can there be so many lone stars? How could anyone take these words seriously?"

"I'm taking it seriously!" Just after she finished speaking, she was frightened by Xu Caiting's increased voice.

She was so angry that her eyes were red, and her face was incredibly ruined: "Because of you, we have believed this for more than 20 years! My son...my eldest son gave birth a few years after meeting you. We have always felt that it was the youngest son’s fault that he passed away from a serious illness. It was his birth that took away the smart and happy child..."

As Xu Caiting said, she suddenly squatted to the ground with her face covered, with a clear cry at the end of the sentence.

Regardless of the presence of other people around, she cried out like a vent.

The obsession of the past two decades seemed to be broken at this moment, and the net that enveloped her and Gu Xun was ruthlessly torn apart, and they had to face the cruel truth.

After all, she and Gu Xun just wanted to find someone who would throw the pot for the uncomfortable thing. It was she and Gu Xun who did not pay attention to taking good care of the child, that was so late that he discovered his serious condition, which made him unable to survive his death. They didn't want to admit that it was their own negligence, and they happened to have the remarks that the sacred stick said back then, so they found a good excuse for the death of their children and for all the dissatisfaction and failures in their lives.

Thinking about this, Xu Caiting looked up at the boy who was only a few steps away from her.

The chandelier hanging on the ceiling in the small room shook slightly, and the white halo was too dazzling, blurring the face of the tall and thin figure, making it impossible for her to see his appearance.

I don't know why, but tears that should have been relieved a little, suddenly couldn't stop rushing out of her eye sockets, bringing a kind of unbreathable soreness to her heart.

It is clear that her child is still alive and standing beside her, and it is too late to make up for the debt to him in those years from now on. But at the moment when the truth was confirmed from the mouth of the **** stick, her heart felt a sense of frustration with a special regret.

It's like it's still too late. They not only lost their beloved eldest son, but also their little son who was caring and sensible when he was a child.

Until Gu Xiyu, Gu Xun and Xu Caiting walked to the parking place outside, the expressions on Gu Xun and Xu Caiting's faces remained sluggish, and they didn't say a word to him on the road. He personally drove them back to their recently rented house and gave them some time to calm down.

Gu Xun and Xu Caiting were sitting in the back seat, occasionally looking up at the boy in the driver's seat, trying to speak to him, but they found that they were so strange to him that they had nothing to say.

"You take this card."

When he got home, when Gu Xiyu returned the car keys to them, he handed over the bank card Ji Chen gave him that day.

Facing Gu Xun’s stunned gaze, he whispered softly: “This is the dowry Ji Chen said to me. There are tens of millions in it. It may not be too much for you, but it should be enough to help alleviate the company’s situation. ."

"You haven't paid much attention to me these years. I rely on the money I earn for food, clothing, housing and transportation, so I haven't been able to save much. This is the last thing I can give you, no matter how much it is, there will be no more."

I don't know which point of Xu Caiting was touched by this sentence, and she covered her mouth again and began to cry.

After leaving the police station, Gu Xun had a lot of vicissitudes of life. He stared at Gu Xiyu's hand for a long time, and finally only took the car key, pushed the card back, and shook his head, saying, "The company... In order to make money, I have done a lot of things that can't be put on the stage. Even if I directly ask Ji Chen for help, I am afraid I can't make it back. I have already planned to give up.

"What Ji Chen said is also a big man with a good face. Although he is perfect, most of the time such a person is very self-confident and unsure. He says that he loves you now, and he may have a new love in a few years. ."

"I have seen a lot of big and small people in shopping malls. I have seen too many people and things like that. You keep this money for yourself. If anything happens in the future, you can have a guarantee."

Gu Xiyu held the card and looked down without moving.

A hand suddenly stretched out from behind him, took the card away and forced it into Gu Xun's hand firmly.

Gu Xiyu was taken by someone to a somewhat sturdy arm, and Ji Chen's casual voice sounded beside him: "No need, I will support him for the rest of my life."

After seeing the magic stick, Ji Chen sent a message asking where he was. He said at the time that he would send his parents back first and then leave by car.

Ji Chen didn't reply to him later. He didn't expect that he would come to pick him up in person.

Gu Xiyu was picked up by Ji Chen under the eyelids of Gu Xun and Xu Caiting, and they went back to the apartment after having dinner outside by the way.

After a short break, Ji Chen walked into the study to continue busy work after answering a phone call, and it was not over until he was about to sleep. Gu Xiyu realized that he might have deliberately put down his work halfway and came to pick him up home.

The days in the next few days were fairly calm, and Ji Chen was so busy that sometimes he stayed at the company and didn't go home. They are currently preparing for the launch of a new series of products. Ji Chen controls everything under Fengming very strictly and personally supervises and reviews.

This afternoon, Gu Xiyu was sitting in the living room looking through information when a courier box came to the apartment suddenly.

The box is full of debris. Although most of the things are still intact, they still have a little burnt smell. When he opened it, there was a piece of paper in it, with the handwriting like Xu Caiting's, saying that these were items that belonged to his part that he had picked up after the fire in the villa was extinguished.

Gu Xiyu stood by the box and sorted it out, and found the diary that only had the cover and the corners slightly burnt, and the rest of the diary was intact.

He flipped through it again, and it was full of content related to Fu Nian.

Until he accidentally saw a page of diary with cake stickers.

Sunny May 14, 2013

Today is Fu Nian’s birthday, and I finally managed to move the classmates and prepare to surprise him, this special student...

Gu Xiyu was holding the diary, and his eyes stayed for a long time at the date on it.

He squeezed the diary page with his fingers and gently rubbed it a few times, then turned his head to look at the USB flash drive that was still plugged into the laptop port.

Fu Nian’s birthday date, he hasn’t tried it yet.
