"This can be regarded as a gift from me to Mr. Gu. On New Year's Day, the Lu family didn't treat guests well, so I send this small gift to express my apology."

The woman smiled gracefully and looked at him lightly.

Gu Chen clenched his fists and trembled, his back was like a cold snake swimming around, the feeling of suffocation made his whole body go limp.Never once, he hated this woman so much, never once, he hated himself to such an extent.

The woman on the hospital bed was sluggish and her eyes were slack. She was tied to the bed in a pitiful posture, like a withered butterfly.

Gu Chen's pupils contracted violently, and he stared fixedly at the half face exposed in the woman's black hair, a face that looked like a ghost after a disastrous defeat, and a voice buzzed in his ears, telling me that it was not the Li Hua I knew !

He tremblingly looked at the elegant woman on the sofa, and roared uncontrollably: "What did you do to her? Where's her child?"

It's only May now, Li Hua's child should be born soon, who is this half-dead woman on the bed now?

Gu Chen's temples were twitching. The woman in his memory should be a clever and sweet girl when he was a child, and a charming and sharp woman in adulthood. How could this emaciated, crazy woman be her?

As if to see through his thoughts, the lady on the sofa said lightly: "If you think you can't say what you call her Li Hua now," she shrugged, her tone casual: "You can give her another name, it all depends Mr. Gu's mood."

After finishing speaking, she put down her teacup, stood up, and said kindly, "Okay, I still have something to do, so I won't disturb Mr. Gu's work. From now on, Li Hua is yours. Mr. Gu is free to deal with it."

"Stop and speak clearly!" Gu Chen was so dumbfounded.

"Although Ah Chu has already punished Lu Mingyin for kidnapping Mr. Gu, don't you want to know the real mastermind behind it?"

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled into the ward, and the bloodthirsty warm jade of the setting sun penetrated unevenly, radiating brilliance all over the place.Gu Chen looked at the empty room with dazed and distorted eyes.

"One day you will know that what is more important than love is yourself, freedom, and life."

The dust in the air was flowing slowly like the air in his chest, those words in the snowy night turned into a funnel in his chest, counting down the time drop by drop.He didn't make a sound, and the people on the hospital bed were also quiet as if they didn't exist.After a long time, he walked up to her, untied the rope, looked into those familiar eyes and asked softly, "Li Hua, what's wrong with you?"

The black and white eyes that had faded from the delicate makeup were looking at him dully at the moment, and he heard Li Hua slowly spit out a few words: "It's dawn, I don't want to sleep anymore..."

Caught off guard, a drop of tears fell on the woman's collarbone. Those thin shoulders seemed to have only bones left. He held her in his arms and said softly: "Okay, don't sleep, I will talk with you."

Li Hua spoke intermittently, and he listened quietly. She seemed to have not spoken for a long time, and her tongue was always tied. Gu Chen had to rest her head on his shoulder to hear her syllables clearly. Listening to her, while massaging her arms, he deliberately ignored the embarrassing scars in the loose hospital clothes, which were crawling on his body ugly like a centipede.

As it got dark, the person in his arms gradually became silent. He put her into the bed, being as cautious as a baby, but full of tenderness and distress.

When Lu Chuxiu walked in, the room was pitch black, and Gu Chen sat motionless on the sofa outside, like a lifeless sculpture.

He squatted in front of him with serene eyes. After all, his child was a man, and he could bear some things.

"Baby, I'll tell you the explanation you want to hear verbatim, but let's go home now, shall we?"

Gu Chen raised his head, but the eyes that were always full of kindness were as cold as ice at this moment, Lu Chuxiu looked uncomfortable, he wanted to say something, but Gu Chen ignored him, and walked straight to the door.Along the way, neither of them spoke. When they returned home, Gu Chen went straight to the bedroom, changed his clothes, took a shower and went to bed in one go. Lu Chuxiu knew that he was feeling uncomfortable, so he stopped Gu Chen's hand to turn off the bedside lamp and said, "You If you are angry, vent it to me, don't hold it in your stomach and make yourself uncomfortable, and don't eat."

"I don't want to quarrel with you." Gu Chen pulled out his hand, turned his back to him and lay down.

Lu Chuxiu frowned. He didn't like cold violence. Since the two of them lived together until now, there had been many small quarrels. As the two of them lived for a long time, they got better and better. There were few quarrels these years, so It is really rare for Gu Chen to be so angry.

"Are you going to fight me because of an irrelevant woman?" His voice cooled down.

Gu Chen didn't speak, he closed his eyes as if he had really fallen asleep, Lu Chuxiu was agitated, and lifted the quilt, he forced himself to slow down his tone: "Xiaochen, eat first, I will tell you the ins and outs, don't You're making fun of me like that."

Gu Chen sat up suddenly, his eyes were red, and he shouted at him: "What kind of cause and effect do you tell me to torture a woman to that extent? An insignificant person, who is to you? What matters? Isn't she your sister? Isn't she your Lu family?"

Gu Chen roared with trembling hands, he kept trying not to have an attack because he knew that Lu Chuxiu could give enough reasonable reasons to explain all this, and he even knew that a large part of the reason this time was because of him.Therefore, he is the most despicable behind-the-scenes villain, the person who has the least right to lose his temper.

Lu Chuxiu saw the child trembling with anger, his eyes were red, and the anger in his heart dissipated immediately. He sat on the bed and looked at him: "It's my fault that I didn't tell you about Lihua in advance, but Xiaochen, I can't." Put a meth next to you," a complex look flashed in the man's eyes, he wanted to say something but he didn't open his mouth in the end.

Gu Chen lowered his head in a detached posture, and after a while he got out of bed to change his clothes, Lu Chuxiu quickly stood beside the sofa and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'll go out for a while." Gu Chen ignored him, got dressed and prepared to leave on his own, he was afraid that if he stayed longer, he might not be able to help but fight with him.

Lu Chuxiu grabbed him, and said irritably, "Is it interesting for you to express your dissatisfaction to me all the time? Where are you going so late?"

"What should I be dissatisfied with? Li Hua did something wrong, you punished her, all of this is because of me, what dissatisfaction can I have?" Gu Chen's voice was rarely sharp and indifferent.

"It's her own fault for what she did today, it has nothing to do with you, Xiaochen." He wanted to reach out to hug him, but in the end he didn't.

Li Hua's betrayal brought him not only immeasurable losses, but also chilling setbacks. For so many years, he has always regarded her as the most trusted partner of the Lu family, surpassing his parents, but in the end, Li Huahe Seeing that outsiders wanted to put him to death, they even did not hesitate to get Gu Chen involved. With the resources in her hands, Lu Chuxiu did let Lu Chuxiu bleed for a while. In the past, Li Hua was the only person he could not fortify, but unfortunately, the overthrow of human feelings was not worth a word of profit after all.He read that he gave her a retreat on the basis of brother-sister relationship, but when it came to Gu Chen's matter, Li Hua challenged his bottom line.

Therefore, after the incident was revealed, Lu Chuxiu was not relentless. After all, he was letting her get nothing.

Therefore, when his mother operated in secret, Lu Chuxiu almost ignored it when she played tricks. This circle will not give the weak a chance to retaliate. Once they fail, they will never be able to turn around in this life. Crawling and rolling, when she loses her protection, she is no different from falling into a wolf, and all predictable encounters will become catastrophes.But winners and losers are not divided into men and women. After the game is played, no matter how disgusting the ending is, you have to bear it yourself.

He never told Gu Chen that he was thinking of their love for growing up together, the child is not him, he wants to keep his cleanliness and goodwill towards the world.

But Gu Chen was not as transparent as he thought, he sat wearily on the sofa, his tone was full of bitterness: "I don't know what is to blame, brother, she grew up with you, these years... Is our relationship over the years fake? Is it not worth the money she brought to the Lu family? I don't understand...you want to reach this point..."

With such deep sorrow, Lu Chuxiu didn't know how he could stand indifferently. The child didn't understand, yes, he wasn't him, of course he couldn't understand, the evil of power struggle had already been deeply rooted in his bones.

Gu Chen looked at him: "Brother, tell me honestly, if it weren't for Lu Mingyin's kidnapping of me, wouldn't Li Hua be like this?"

Lu Chuxiu shook his hand and said seriously, "This has nothing to do with you."

Gu Chen smiled wryly, the dizzy brows and eyes were sore and sore that made Lu Chuxiu's eye sockets warm, he said: "I, Gu Chen, what virtue can I do... What do you ask me to do..." How could it have nothing to do with him?He knew Lu Chuxiu deeply. If he hadn't been implicated in this matter, Lu Chuxiu would never let Li Hua go to this extent anyway.There was a bleak smile on his face, his mother was really powerful, and she knew how to make him suffer the most.

Lu Chuxiu held the child tightly in his arms, he felt scared, he knew that this way of loving was too extreme, but he couldn't control it, he let the evil in his heart grow, everyone could scold him for being afraid of him, but only Gu Chen can't do it, and his worry about gain and loss has never disappeared.

Gu Chen didn't hug him back like before, he pushed away Lu Chuxiu's hand: "I'll go to the guest room to sleep."

When being hugged by the shoulders abruptly, Gu Chen couldn't help turning around and roaring at that person: "Then what do you want me to do?"

With red eyes looking desperate.

Lu Chuxiu didn't speak, but kissed him, and then let Gu Chen bite his neck roughly until he heard the sound of his clothes being torn.

He would rather the child vent all his anger on himself. Sometimes sex is the best way for a man to relieve stress. He even longed for Gu Chen to vent all the remorse and guilt towards Li Hua buried in his heart on him. In his body, he did not allow anyone other than him to take root in Gu Chen's heart, even if he didn't understand this feeling.

Those strong, deep-rooted, boiling, sad, and passionate things rolled and roared in the body over and over again, causing the body temperature to rise and the heart to burst.

In the mirror in the bathroom, Lu Chuxiu glanced at the red bite marks on his body, and smiled slightly. When he went out, the child had already fallen into a deep sleep. He went to bed, and Gu Chen unconsciously leaned into his arms. Gently smudge away his frowning brows with your fingers.

After Tang Chenting wiped the bottles and cans on the table one by one, he looked at his beautiful face and admired himself for a long time. There were only her and the shadows of the two people in the mirror in the huge room. She is not nearly fifty years old, but even so, she is the only one who is doing makeup in front of the mirror.

The sudden sound of the phone broke the silence, and Tang Chenting picked it up.

"Mom, is it fun to make me feel bad? He won't leave me, but I don't want to see him hurt, so you stop here!"

"Ah Chu, I just let him understand some of the things he has to bear to enter the Lu family's house. In the future, if you really get married, even if there is no legal recognition, the Lu family will give him exactly what should be given to him. , by then, are you sure he can accept it?" Tang Chenting said casually, looking at the dazzling jewelry on the table.

"He is a man, different from a woman. He has his own job and his own life, so he doesn't have to get involved in Lu's intrigue. Moreover, he is married to me, and I have the ability to protect him. You don't need to worry about the rest." Phone The other end paused and said, "I

Not your father, so Xiao Chen won't become you. "

When the mobile phone received a busy tone, Tang Chenting's hands trembled slightly, and the luster on the jewelry shone on the woman's face, turning into ashes and disappearing.
