Staying with Xia Fangfei this time, Gu Qiu was very quiet.
I don't have any distracting thoughts, I only think about the matter with Bai Ruolan. As for Xia Fangfei, she knew that he had something on her mind, so she didn't bother him, and left Gu Qiu alone on the sofa.
She took a shower, wrapped in a towel, and walked into the bedroom with a faint fragrance.
Gu Qiu lay there, his mind was not peaceful.
In the middle of the night, a phone rang.
Gu Qiu turned over and picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table.
The call was from Congtong. She made a transfer from Anping and went to Donghua again.
After her son was sent to Donghua, she only visited it once.
The Gu family said that Cong Tong had no objection to raising Xiao Ruo'an in the Gu family. The sound at night was exceptionally loud. Gu Qiu heard Cong Tong softly say, "It's not disturbing you to sleep!"
Gu Qiu heard the tiredness in her voice, and couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken, "What's the matter with you? It sounds a bit wrong."
Cong Tong said, "It's okay, maybe it's because I didn't sleep well and I'm a little tired."
Gu Qiu sighed, "Can't sleep in a strange environment?"
Only then did Cong Tong tell the truth, "The old man's health is a bit unwell, and we all stayed awake for a few days."
When Gu Qiu heard this, he became a little nervous.
"Grandpa, what's the matter?"
Cong Tong said, "Don't be nervous, it's just that you are unwell and have high blood pressure. It suddenly broke out two days ago, and now you're fine. Dad said, don't tell outsiders about this, I don't want to cause trouble."
Gu Qiu understood that last time the old man of the Zuo family was ill, it made everyone very nervous. It seems that Uncle and the others have learned from the Zuo family's lesson and are not going to disclose the news.
Gu Qiu said: "It's fine if you're fine, do you want me to come back?"
"It's best not to. If you all run home, it will inevitably make people suspicious."
Cong Tong said, "Besides, he's fine now, so don't worry too much."
Gu Qiu heard her voice so tired, and asked with concern, "Why don't you go to bed early!"
Cong Tong hummed, "I've already taken a shower, oh, there's something else I need to discuss with you."
Gu Qiu waited for Cong Tong to continue, Cong Tong said, "Grandpa's health is not very good, I decided to stay and take care of him for a while, do you think it's okay?"
Gu Qiudao, "Isn't there a dedicated nurse?"
"No matter how good the nurse is, she is not as good as my relatives after all. Besides, it is a good thing for you that I behave better in front of grandpa. The family is so big, and the hearts of the people are not in harmony."
Gu Qiu suddenly felt that Cong Tong was quite sensible. All she thought of was always her husband. This made Gu Qiu unable to help himself, thinking that when she brought Cong Tong home for the first time, she generously took out her savings and wanted to give the money to her future parents-in-law.
There are so many daughter-in-laws in the world, and it is absolutely rare to see such a good one as Congtong.
Gu Qiu was once again moved by Congtong's filial piety, and he said silently in his heart that no matter what he offered in exchange, he could not wrong Congtong.
After talking with Congtong for half an hour, Xia Fangfei heard his conversation in the room, so she probably knew something.
She came out and said softly, "What happened?"
Gu Qiu said it was fine, so he called Congtong and reported the situation at home.
What about Xia Fangfei, sat down beside Gu Qiu, "Do you need my help?"
Holding Xia Fangfei's hand, Gu Qiu said, "I suddenly realized a lot."
Xia Fangfei was very strange, "It's very good, what do you feel?"
In her heart, there was a faint worry. Gu Qiu must have something on his mind. Today's performance is too abnormal. Gu Qiu said: "People, you must learn to be grateful and cherish. Also, don't be too greedy."
Xia Fangfei was surprised, "Aren't you a greedy person?"
Indeed, I am not a greedy person, but emotionally, I am too sentimental.
Gu Qiu laughed, "Sister Fangfei, if I'm sorry for something, will you forgive me?"
Xia Fangfei stared at him blankly, "What does it depend on? Forgiveness has a bottom line. If you violate the bottom line, let alone me, I don't think other people will forgive you."
"That's it!" Gu Qiu bypassed the topic, "Go to bed early, you've been tired all day."
Xia Fangfei asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
"Sleep. But I don't want to disturb you, I want to watch you and fall asleep peacefully."
Holding Xia Fangfei's hand, she walked into the bedroom.
This night, the two respected each other as guests without any violation.
Early the next morning, Xia Fangfei stayed in the hospital, and Gu Qiu returned to the provincial capital.
It was the time agreed by the two of them again, Bai Ruolan looked so cold and arrogant as usual, dignified and not easy to get close to.
Her short hair, which is at the level of the ears, makes her more capable and more like a shopping mall elite.
The two sat facing each other, their eyes facing each other.
I didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, Bai Ruolan was the first to speak, "Have you figured it out? Is it so difficult for you to make a decision? In fact, my request is not too much at all. Think about it, as a descendant of the Bai family, I , whether it is identity, background, or ability, or in terms of appearance, it should not lose to anyone. With my conditions, are you still hesitating?"
She looked at Gu Qiu, "Don't blame me for taking advantage of others. For you, it's just a change of the main room. For me, it's the glory of a lifetime. You still have your own wife, and she's a big and small wife. Wife. As for the identities of me and Congtong, who is older and who is younger, you have nothing to worry about. If you agree now, I can make a decision immediately and throw the tens of billions of investment in Nanyang to fulfill you The official career and the wishes of hundreds of thousands of employees. Which is more important? I think you already know it in your heart."
Gu Qiu didn't speak all the time, he looked at Bai Ruolan, "Ruolan, do you know? You are forcing me, forcing me to make the most difficult choice in life."
Bai Ruolan said, "Life is like this, there are always so many choices. All I want is what an ordinary person wishes to have. As the successor of the Bai family, I will dedicate myself to you without complaint or regret. Do you think I'm too good?" ? If you think so, then let me tell you, Gu Qiu, I don¡¯t need you, you can figure it out yourself!¡±
Gu Qiu was silent, and Bai Ruolan said, "If I, Bai Ruolan, are not pregnant and have no children of my own, I don't care about anything? But God gave me this opportunity, and I don't want my child to be laughed at in the future, saying that he is a child who has no child. A father's child. Also, I don't want him to be fatherless. So, you have to make a choice."
Gu Qiudao: "Ruolan, there are some things I didn't want to say at first. The two of us came together, and to be honest, I don't know why. Maybe life is just so strange. Back then, you didn't like me, but I don't like it. You are not pleasing to the eye. You think I am very official. I think you are arrogant. Of course, a girl like you is already one in a million, the arrogant one among women. Your request, say Really, it's not too much. But today, I want to tell you. Impossible!"
Gu Qiu uttered the last three words word by word.
Bai Ruolan sat there, surprisingly calm.
Gu Qiu said, "If you want to break up with me because I didn't agree to your request, I have nothing to say. Also, what I owe you, if I have a chance, I will make it up to you. But I, absolutely I will not agree to your request, nor will I give up Congtong. This is my principle of life, and now I can only say to you, I'm sorry! Ruolan!"
After Gu Qiu finished speaking, he naturally felt bad. He looked at Bai Ruolan, "I'm sorry! I'm leaving!"
Gu Qiu left as soon as he said, without nostalgia at all.
He walked so resolutely, so resolutely.
He wanted to use his own actions to tell Bai Ruolan that he could not change this decision for her sake, nor would he abolish Congtong and marry her as another wife because of anyone.
When Gu Qiu walked to the door, Bai Ruolan suddenly stood up, "Stop!"
She stood there, looking at Gu Qiu very calmly.
Gu Qiu's figure froze, frozen in place. I only heard Bai Ruolan slowly say, "I'll ask you one more question, and you will leave after asking."
Gu Qiu didn't look back, "Say it!"
"Have you ever loved me?"
this¡¡
Gu Qiu turned his back to her and took a deep breath.
"Is this important?"
"certainly¡ª¡ª"
"Then I'll tell you now, no¡ª¡ª"
After Gu Qiu finished speaking, he took a step and decided to leave. Even if it used to be, I don't want to have it now. He doesn't like being blackmailed. Although I still like her and love her, this is not the condition or reason for being threatened.
Love must be straightforward, without any strings attached.
Bai Ruolan stood there, the corners of her face twitching.
