Gu Yanci sat in the teahouse and froze for a long time. It was not until his cell phone rang that he was brought back to reality.
Looking at the unfamiliar number, he hesitated for a moment before picking up: "Hello, may I ask..."
"I'm Lu Zhengming." Before Gu Yanci could finish asking, Lu Zhengming on the other end of the computer went straight to the point: "I want to see you."
Gu Yanci was shocked. He never expected to receive a call from Lu Zhengming at this time and ask him to meet. Could it be that he really suspected Miao Xi as rumored on the Internet?
Thinking of this possibility, Gu Yanci's face instantly turned cold.
"Okay." He agreed immediately: "Where can we meet?"
Lu Zhengming was not surprised and said calmly: "Half an hour later, we will meet on the rooftop of the inpatient department of the city hospital."
"Okay, I'll go."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yanci immediately stood up and hurriedly left the teahouse.
At the city hospital, Lu Zhengming put away his phone and glanced at Assistant Wang: "How's it going over there?"
"The housekeeper has taken the second lady and the others to the villa in Tianlan Bay and settled them temporarily."
Lu Zhengming nodded; "Ask the housekeeper to stay there and monitor their every move at any time. If there is any situation, report to me in time."
"Yes, Director Lu."
Lu Zhengming turned to look out the window, and suddenly saw scattered snowflakes falling, and the weather was also foggy.
I don’t know about Wan Su’s side...
Lu Zhengming sighed and closed his eyes.
In order to get Zhang Qiuhua and Lu Xinrou away this morning, he specifically asked the housekeeper to take them to their new residence. Otherwise, they would take turns guarding themselves and really wouldn't be able to see outsiders.
"Is there any movement over there, Miss?"
Assistant Wang considered it for a moment: "I don't know who leaked the news last night. The paternity test between you and the eldest lady made a fuss on the Internet. Many people were watching the eldest lady's joke. I heard that the eldest lady came out of the house last night. We were also blocked by reporters. Fortunately, Mr. Fu arrived in time and the eldest lady was not injured."
Lu Zhengming opened his eyes instantly and looked at Assistant Wang dissatisfied: "Why didn't you tell me earlier if something like this happened?"
Assistant Wang said truthfully: "The doctor told you to rest..."
"Okay, okay, I know my body." Lu Zhengming raised his hand to interrupt him: "How to deal with this matter?"
"It should be Mr. Fu who exerted pressure and banned all relevant news on the Internet. Those reporters didn't dare to go out and talk nonsense, and they kept their mouths shut. But there should be a lot of people who saw this. This morning someone asked me for information..."
"What's the news?" Lu Zhengming interrupted in a deep voice.
Assistant Wang looked embarrassed. He hesitated again and again and whispered: "About the rumors about the identity of the heir to the group, they are guessing who you will hand over the company to."
Hearing this, Lu Zhengming couldn't help but sneer: "I'm not dead yet, and they are already thinking about changing the boss. Do they really think that I, Lu Zhengming, have been ruined?"
Assistant Wang saw that he was angry and quickly comforted him: "Don't be angry, Mr. Lu. The doctor said you shouldn't be angry now. You need to rest well so that you can be discharged from the hospital early."
Lu Zhengming's expression did not soften much: "Just keep an eye on it. If there is any news again, report it in time."
"Yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. It was the doctor coming to check the ward.
It's almost time until the doctor leaves.
Lu Zhengming asked Assistant Wang to push his wheelchair to the hospital rooftop, and he realized that the snow was heavier than before. Moreover, the wind on the top floor was very strong, cold and shrill, and the chill penetrated his heart like a needle. Lu Zhengming couldn't help coughing twice.
"Director Lu, you're not feeling well yet. It's so cold up here. If you catch a cold..."
Lu Zhengming raised his hand to stop him from continuing, cleared his throat and said, "Go down first and pick me up later."
Assistant Wang couldn't resist him, so he had no choice but to say nothing more.
Just when he passed through the door of the rooftop and was about to go down to wait, a middle-aged man about forty or fifty came over. Wearing a gray-black coat, he has a neat appearance and a gentle temperament. Assistant Wang felt that he looked familiar, but couldn't remember who it was.
Gu Yanci also saw Assistant Wang, nodded slightly, and walked up to the rooftop while rubbing his shoulders.
Hearing the footsteps, Lu Zhengming didn't look back, he just said without meaning, "You're here."
Gu Yanci looked at Lu Zhengming who was sitting in the wheelchair and responded quietly: "Are you looking for me about Wan Su?"
Hearing Gu Yanci's address, Lu Zhengming's eyes turned cold for a moment, and he slowly turned around while pushing his wheelchair.
"The last time you and I met was more than 20 years ago."
Gu Yanci said coldly: "If possible, I don't want to see you in this life."
The man in front of him took away the love of his life. For more than 20 years, Gu Yanci kept thinking, if he had been born well and had enough ability to help the Xu family out of trouble, he and Miao Xi would not be separated. .
Over the years, he has been hiding in his yard and refusing to go out. In fact, he is escaping. I thought I would live like this for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect...
"Me too."
Hearing Lu Zhengming's words, Gu Yanci was stunned, and then his face darkened.
He clenched his fists and sneered, "Are Director Lu mocking me with these words?"
Between him and Lu Zhengming, he is the loser. He can say that Lu Zhengming is not worthy.
Lu Zhengming heard what he meant, sighed suddenly, and said with a wry smile: "I know what you are thinking. I once thought about marrying you and Miao Xi, without forcing her with power or money. But I couldn't bear it, I If you love her, how could you give her up to someone else? What's more, I've investigated your family background and you can't give her the support and future she wants, but I can..."
"She is dead. Don't you think it's ridiculous for you to say these high-sounding words now?" Gu Yanci suddenly lost control of his emotions and interrupted him, clenching his fists: "If I hadn't married you, Miao Xi wouldn't have It's your fault that she died so young! It was you who harmed her!"
Lu Zhengming turned pale because of his words, and Xu Miaoxi's death became the pain of his life. After so many years, he asked himself this question over and over again when he dreamed about it at midnight. If he had fulfilled Miao Xi and Gu Yanci's wish, the incident would not have been discovered, and Miao Xi would not have died.
He can't get the answer, because when a person dies, he is dead and there is no turning back.
"I am also very sad about Miao Xi's death, but even if I helped you back then, what could you do? With your situation at the time, you couldn't help her at all."
"How do you know I can't help her!" Gu Yanci retorted unwillingly: "If I had known about the accident in the Xu family earlier, and I had worked harder, maybe I could -"
Lu Zhengming laughed, but there was no mockery on his face.
"Why are you laughing?" Gu Yanci looked livid.
"I laugh at you for still being naive. No wonder Miao Xi refused to tell you the truth back then." Lu Zhengming shook his head and chuckled: "Do you know how much foreign debt the Xu family owed to the bank back then? Even with your current situation With your status and reputation, you can’t even raise this amount of money in ten years!”
Looking at the unfamiliar number, he hesitated for a moment before picking up: "Hello, may I ask..."
"I'm Lu Zhengming." Before Gu Yanci could finish asking, Lu Zhengming on the other end of the computer went straight to the point: "I want to see you."
