Chu Lianjiang's pupils trembled for a moment, and then calmed down, as if the tremor just now was just an illusion.

"No."

Grandpa Chu stared at him and continued to look at the dark river.

There is no moon tonight, and layers of dark clouds cover the sky.

It had just rained heavily last night and the river was swollen, so it was not suitable for fishing.

But Grandpa Chu insisted on dragging Chu Lianjiang over for night fishing.

Chu Lianjiang knew that his father had something to say to him, but he didn't expect that he would bring up old things that he didn't want to think about again in this life.

He did pursue Bai Yunqiu back then.

Back then in the imperial capital, Bai Yunqiu was one of the most talented women. She was good at painting and beautiful. Many rich men in the aristocratic circle pursued her.

But Bai Yunqiu is arrogant and only wants to pursue a close friend with similar interests and love at first sight.

She also threatened that as long as the man she likes is penniless and comes from a poor family, she will be willing to do so.

The Bai family has been teaching and educating people for generations, and has always been a breath of fresh air in your circle. More than twenty years ago, the Bai family had a high status in the imperial capital and had always looked down on merchant families.

Mr. Bai also said that his daughter would never marry into a wealthy family and would be tainted with the smell of copper.

The more this happened, the more frenzied the pursuit of Bai Yunqiu by the wealthy young masters. They all wanted to win over the most talented girl in the imperial capital and show off their charm.

Chu Lianjiang is one of them.

I swear that I will never marry anyone except Bai Yunqiu in this life.

Bai Yunqiu was already shaken by Chu Lianjiang's crazy pursuit, but Grandpa Chu hoped that Chu Lianjiang would have a business marriage to consolidate the family's status, and he had always been strongly opposed.

For this reason, Chu Lianjiang went on a hunger strike and locked himself in his room all day long.

Now that he thinks about his childish behavior when he was young, he feels that he was ridiculous back then.

After Chu Lianjiang's resistance, Grandpa Chu finally agreed to the marriage. After all, Bai Yunqiu was good-looking and from a good background.

Chu Lianjiang was very happy and immediately set a wedding date with Bai Yunqiu.

It's a pity that God didn't want it.

Just one month before their wedding, there was an economic crisis that affected many family businesses. The Chu family was in danger, and the capital chain was broken. Several factories could not pay wages, and workers were making noises in the factories.

Chu Lianjiang raised funds everywhere, but he was short of money at that time and couldn't get any money at all.

The Bai family is not a wealthy family, and they cannot afford to support the Chu family.

Just when the Chu family was about to lose its support, Shao Jingyi took the initiative to come to the door and said that the Shao family was willing to help the Chu family tide over the difficulties, but Chu Lianjiang wanted to marry her.

The Shao family is a gangster and is involved in the gray industrial chain. The economic crisis has not had much impact on the Shao family.

At that time, the only people who were willing and able to help the Chu family were the Shao family.

In this way, Chu Lianjiang broke off his engagement with Bai Yunqiu and married Shao Jingyi on the day they were supposed to get married.

The two families joined forces and their wedding was grand.

On the day of Chu Lianjiang's wedding, Bai Yunqiu came to the wedding. She smiled and presented a pair of lilies that she drew herself, wishing them a happy marriage.

Chu Lianjiang was in pain at the time. When no one was paying attention, he took Bai Yunqiu to the lounge and vowed that he would divorce Shao Jingyi. They got married only for the benefit of the family.

Bai Yunqiu always smiled and said lightly, "Lian Jiang, this is impossible for us in this life!"

Later, Chu Lianjiang learned that on the day after he broke up his marriage, Mr. Bai introduced a boyfriend to Bai Yunqiu, a clerk in a small company. In Mr. Bai's words, he was down-to-earth and hardworking, and he was a potential stock.

The most important thing is that there is no family constraint, no one can help herself, and she can love Bai Yunqiu wholeheartedly.

That man is Amber Yuan.

Chu Lianjiang once asked Bai Yunqiu if she really wanted to marry An Boyuan? Aren't you afraid that An Boyuan married her because of the Bai family's family background?

Bai Yunqiu's voice was always soft and soft, without any ups and downs of emotions, as if nothing in the world could break her peaceful heart.

"If that person is not what I want, it doesn't matter whoever I marry!"

Bai Yunqiu's reputation in the imperial capital was already bad because Chu Lianjiang regretted her marriage. Everyone laughed at her behind her back and said how she could defeat the eldest daughter of the Shao family.

Chu Lianjiang couldn't help but explain to Bai Yunqiu that if Shao Jingyi really wanted to help him, she would not wait until the Chu family was almost unable to support it before taking action. The purpose was to force the Chu family to agree to the marriage.

Because of this incident, Chu Lianjiang and Shao Jingyi's married life was not harmonious. Chu Lianjiang hardly went home. He didn't like this calculated marriage.

However, Bai Yunqiu felt that regretting the marriage was regretting the marriage. No matter how many reasons there were, no matter how involuntarily, the outcome was already decided and there was no way to change it.

She no longer answered Chu Lianjiang's calls or saw Chu Lianjiang, as if she had disappeared from Chu Lianjiang's world. When she learned about Bai Yunqiu again, it was already a year later. Bai Yunqiu had ruined her marriage to An Boyuan. It is said that he eloped with a poor boy and left the imperial capital.

The Bai family was worried about humiliating their family, so they kept the matter a secret. Chu Lianjiang also found out about it after many twists and turns.

He began to look for Bai Yunqiu all over the world.

Xu Shi's fate was not broken. A few years later, he went to Yuncheng on a business trip and met Bai Yunqiu who was going to the hospital for a prenatal check-up.

Seeing her peaceful smile and sweet eyes, the tangled obsession in her heart suddenly disappeared like clouds and became clear.

But he still followed Bai Yunqiu quietly and found Bai Yunqiu's address in Yuncheng.

He wanted to know what the man who made Bai Yunqiu give up everything to follow him looked like?

They live in a small bungalow, and the surrounding area is dilapidated and old, but Bai Yunqiu decorates the home very artistically and warmly.

There are roses planted beside the wall, pink, white and yellow, blooming in full bloom, and the flowers are fragrant.

There is a grape trellis in the yard, with lush branches and leaves, and a bunch of green fruits.

Under the grape trellis, there are wooden tables and chairs, which should be the place where they usually eat.

Not only can you enjoy the cool weather, but you can also watch the bunches of green fruits slowly ripening above your head.

It is indeed an ideal quiet and leisurely day.

It's exactly what Bai Yunqiu has wanted all his life.

Chu Lianjiang still clearly remembers that when Bai Yunqiu walked into the house, the man came out and helped Bai Yunqiu to walk inside. As he walked, he complained that he was not informed of the prenatal check-up.

He helped Bai Yunqiu to the edge of the chair. Bai Yunqiu was about to sit down. He hurriedly stopped her, ran into the room and got a soft cushion to cushion her, and then helped Bai Yunqiu sit down.

He went back to the house and brought out the prepared meals and cut fruits, one small plate and one small plate. The dishes were exquisitely arranged, as if they were works of art carefully decorated by an artist.

Bai Yunqiu smiled so hard that her eyebrows arched and her eyes were filled with stars.

At that moment, Chu Lianjiang deeply felt that Bai Yunqiu was very happy, at least she felt very happy.

But what shocked Chu Lianjiang was that the man turned out to be Mu Siyuan.

Bai Yunqiu's art teacher!

It is said that he is a returnee from overseas and has studied painting abroad for several years.

However, his painting style was too Western and abstract. In an era when food and clothing were still a problem for most people, he was not popular and has never been famous.

Life with Bai Yunqiu was very tight, and Bai Yunqiu had to paint with a big belly and sell it to supplement the family income.

No wonder Bai Yunqiu eloped with him. In that era, teacher-student relationships were not recognized by the public.

Chu Lianjiang couldn't bear to see Bai Yunqiu suffering and persuaded her to leave Mu Siyuan and return to the imperial capital.

Bai Yunqiu said, "Husbands and wives should support each other, rather than blindly asking each other to be perfect and enjoy the results themselves!"

She likes a plain, stable, and hassle-free life.

Chu Lianjiang felt that Bai Yunqiu was stubborn, so he told the Bai family about Bai Yunqiu's whereabouts, and asked Mr. Bai to send someone to take Bai Yunqiu back.

It was precisely because of this that Mu Siyuan had an accident.

The night wind blew, carrying Grandpa Chu's voice, bringing Chu Lianjiang's distant thoughts back to reality.

"You investigated that man! You happened to be in Yuncheng when something happened to him! Are you sure it has nothing to do with you?" Grandpa Chu's voice was thick, with a bit of questioning and a bit of certainty.

Based on Chu Lianjiang's obsession with Bai Yunqiu back then, he would probably do something outrageous.

Chu Lianjiang's wrist holding the fishing rod trembled slightly.

"Father, I said it had nothing to do with me, do you believe it? But I admit that I am responsible."
