No matter what Jiang Weiping said, Gu Mingyan still wanted to leave. In the end, he threw away his hands and left in anger.
Before leaving, he also said a harsh word: "You have the guts, let me see how hard your bones can be!"
Jiang Weiping drove here. The money to buy the car was also what he had asked for from the Li family, so he just drove away.
Gu Mingyan stood in the cold wind and frowned. It would take at least more than an hour to get a taxi from here.
Just when Gu Mingyan was worried, the housekeeper hurried over: "Fortunately, I came quickly and you haven't left yet."
Gu Mingyan was stunned for a moment: "Are you looking for me?"
The housekeeper nodded and said that he came here specially to ask her to go back.
"Is something wrong?" Gu Mingyan was a little frightened and confused, fearing that Li Yunzheng would find something.
The housekeeper smiled at her: "Don't be nervous. The chief came back just now. I heard that you are here, Xiao Gu, so I asked me to come find you."
Gu Mingyan breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be Li Zhenghua.
That old man who was serious and old-fashioned but who was really kind to her.
In her previous life, she was prejudiced against the Li family, and especially hated Li Zhenghua. She believed that her father's death was all caused by Li Zhenghua, so every time she met him, she would sneer at him and look at him with eyes full of hatred.
But Li Zhenghua didn't care about her and was always gentle and tolerant towards her.
Before he died, the old man held her hand and said guiltily: "It's your uncle who caused you to lose your father. I'm sorry for your family."
Her resentment must have had a deep impact on this old man, otherwise he would not have been blaming himself before his death.
In her previous life, she only let go of her resentment after Li Zhenghua died.
Later she figured out that the Li family never owed her anything, it was her who lived in resentment.
It's just that she has no chance to let Li Zhenghua know her thoughts.
Maybe there will be a chance in this life to resolve the old man's knot.
Gu Mingyan hesitated for a moment and followed the housekeeper back to Li's house.
Only the servants were busy in the living room.
The housekeeper took her to the study and said, "The chief may have gone to see the third young master. Xiao Gu, please sit here while I go and inform you."
Gu Mingyan nodded and sat down on the sofa properly.
This is not the first time she has entered Li Zhenghua's study. When her uncle asked her to come to Li's house to ask for money, Li Zhenghua was not here, and the housekeeper would always bring her here to wait.
For people in high positions, the study room is an important place and cannot be accessed at will.
Being able to enter the study of the head of the family is a sign of respect for the guests.
Li Zhenghua could have asked her to wait in the living room like an ordinary guest, but he would treat her seriously and politely every time.
I didn't realize such good intentions in my previous life.
On the contrary, he felt that by leaving her alone in the study, he was afraid that she would make a fuss and was isolating her in disguise.
Gu Mingyan couldn't help but sigh.
In her previous life, she was really blind in this regard, stubborn and stubborn.
Her uncle's family was bloodthirsty and ruthless to her. Not only did she not complain, but she even helped them.
Li Zhenghua had every plan for her, but she was full of hatred and resentment.
As soon as Li Zhenghua opened the study door and entered, he heard Gu Mingyan sitting on the sofa let out a slight sigh.
Li Zhenghua frowned and blurted out: "What's wrong? Did you encounter some difficulty?"
Hearing the majestic voice behind him, Gu Mingyan turned around.
She felt a little emotional when she saw someone who had been dead for many years again.
The chief looked majestic, but his eyes when he looked at her were full of care.
As long as something happens to her, Li Zhenghua will do his best to help her.
Thinking of what Li Zhenghua did to her in her previous life, Gu Mingyan felt soft. She looked at the old man with a soft look: "Uncle Li, I'm fine."
Li Zhenghua was startled.
What did she call him?
uncle? !
He actually called him in such a friendly tone, and the eyes he looked at him were also full of gentleness.
No resentment or hatred.
Because of the shock, Li Zhenghua's eyes bulged: "Good boy, call me again!"
Gu Mingyan: "..."
How bad was her previous attitude towards this old man? She actually made him so excited just by calling him "uncle".
Gu Mingyan lowered his head in embarrassment.
I was too embarrassed to scream again, and I was stared at like this.
Li Zhenghua also knew that he was too eager. He cleared his throat, closed the door, walked over and sat down in the office chair.
The old man and the young man looked at each other in silence for a while.
Li Zhenghua felt that Gu Mingyan today was very different from before.
The most obvious thing is that her eyes have lost the hatred.
What happened to make her undergo such a huge change?
Li Zhenghua quietly looked at Gu Mingyan sitting on the sofa.
The last time Gu Mingyan came over, it was in the summer. The boy was seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a large T-shirt. He was so thin that he had only a handful of bones left, as if he could fall over if the wind blew.
Now half a year has passed and I seem to be getting thinner.
The slender body was covered by a long black men's down jacket. The down jacket looked old at first glance. The sleeves were too wide and the hair had grown behind the ears. It looked like it had not been trimmed for a while.
The white sneakers on his feet were also worn out, and even the edges of the shoes were showing a tendency to come off.
The more Li Zhenghua looked, the tighter his brows became.
What happened to the Jiang family? How could a good child be raised in such a poor way by them?
Every year he gives a sum of money to the Jiang family. Isn't this money used at all on Gu Mingyan? !
Li Zhenghua was so angry that he suddenly slammed the table: "That's too much!"
This sudden movement startled Gu Mingyan. She looked up in confusion: "Uncle Li, are you talking about me?"
"Of course not, I didn't tell you, don't think about it."
Looking at Gu Mingyan's wide eyes, Li Zhenghua knew that he had scared her. He originally wanted to ask her how her life was in the Jiang family, but felt it was not appropriate.
Li Zhenghua had an idea in his mind. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea before speaking again: "You must be curious about the reason why I asked you to come here. In fact, it's nothing. On the way back, I saw you and your uncle quarreling. Yes. What’s the contradiction?”
Gu Mingyan didn't expect that Li Zhenghua would see her and her uncle. No wonder the housekeeper would come to her in a hurry.
She thought of her previous life, when Li Zhenghua learned that she and her brother were not doing well in the Jiang family, so he went directly to the Jiang family without saying anything and got angry at Jiang Weiping.
Before leaving, he also said that if the Jiang family couldn't take care of the person, the Li family would take the person away.
His uncle took this to heart, and after Li Zhenghua left, Jiang Weiping began to think about sending Gu Mingyan to the Li family.
Gu Mingyan was of course opposed to it. She hated everyone in the Li family at that time, so she naturally refused to go.
But Jiang Weiping said: "The Li family no longer responds to our requests. If you go to the Li family, you are half of the Li family. Isn't it easy to ask for something from the Li family? Don't worry, your brother is at the Jiang family. We I will take care of you. Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should also think about your reputation. If he has this disease and no money, how much contempt he will receive in the future..."
So at the instigation of her uncle's family, Gu Mingyan from her previous life volunteered to go to the Li family.
Calculating the time, it's not too far away. After the New Year, she will take the initiative to come and live with the Li family.
In order to stay away from Li Yunzheng in this life, of course she couldn't enter Li's house like she did in her previous life.
So what she had to do was to make Li Zhenghua feel at ease and not make him feel that he was living a miserable life.
Gu Mingyan smiled: "There is no time when the family doesn't quarrel. There are no major conflicts between my uncle and I. It's just some trivial matters and a few stumbling words. Uncle Li, don't worry, I live in the Jiang family." Very good, my uncle’s family are also very good to me.”
Bullshit.
Being nice to you will make you wear rags?
Would he be willing to push you out and ask for money?
And he was not blind. He had seen it on the road just now. Jiang Weiping almost hit someone.
This kid is so sensible and heartbreaking.
Li Zhenghua had a bad temper, and his voice was loud when he got emotional. Gu Mingyan was as thin as a chicken. If he got angry, he would scare him to death. However, he suppressed his anger and used the gentleness that he had never seen in his life. The voice said: "If your uncle treats you badly or bullies you, don't hold it back, tell me, uncle will whip him."
Gu Mingyan couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone bully me."
The more she said this, the more distressed Li Zhenghua was: "Then if you have any difficulties, you can tell Uncle Li. Don't be embarrassed."
Gu Mingyan shook his head: "I don't have anything difficult, and I don't need your help, Uncle Li."
After a pause, "Uncle Li, you have been helping us for almost ten years. You have done enough."
Li Zhenghua murmured: "It's not enough, there's never enough."
Ten years of hard work is nothing compared to a human life.
If it weren't for Gu Tiancheng, Li Zhenghua would have been the one who died that year.
Seeing Li Zhenghua sinking into guilt, Gu Mingyan knew that Li Zhenghua had a deep knot in his heart, so he frankly told this apologetic old man the thoughts that he had not had time to express in his previous life:
"Uncle Li, my father voluntarily sacrificed his life to save you. No one forced him to do it. You don't have to blame yourself for this. If you have been living in guilt, my father will definitely be uneasy. I am very sad to lose my father. Heartache, but his responsibility and his blood will prevent him from regretting making such a choice. If it happens again, I believe he will save you. I always felt that my father's death was caused by you. Yes, in fact, this idea is very immature and has brought pain to you and me. Now that I have figured it out, I hope you can reconcile with yourself in your heart and don't feel depressed and trapped because of this matter. "
Li Zhenghua was shocked and his eyes were full of shock. He did not expect that Gu Mingyan would say such open-minded words.
Every word, every sentence spoke to his heart.
Gu Tiancheng's death has long taken root in Li Zhenghua's heart and has become his heartache.
Now looking at Gu Mingyan's clear and clear eyes, Li Zhenghua had many words in his throat, and finally turned into a long sigh: "Uncle Li is very old, but he still doesn't understand what a young man like you can think of."
Gu Mingyan said: "The deeper you sink, the harder it is to get out. You are the person involved and have experienced life and death. Those knots will only trouble you more."
"You really don't hate Uncle Li anymore?"
Gu Mingyan shook his head: "I blamed you before, but it was all because I was young and could do nothing better."
Li Zhenghua's chest heaved and the corners of his eyes were wet. He said in a trembling voice: "Good boy, if your father knew that you were so sensible, he would be extremely proud. Don't worry, from now on, my uncle will never let you suffer again." ”
Seeing Li Zhenghua's high spirits, Gu Mingyan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He must have let go of his worries.
Then she finally got her wish.
From now on, she will not have any contact with the Li family. If this conversation can make them all come out, it will be a good thing.
Gu Mingyan smiled: "Then if everything is okay, Uncle Li, I will leave first."
Li Zhenghua did not keep her, and said lovingly: "The housekeeper told me that your uncle has left and it is not convenient to take a car here. How about I ask the driver to take you back?"
Gu Mingyan did not reject the old man's kindness.
"Good boy, you go and wait in the living room first. I'll be there right away."
"good."
Gu Mingyan turned around and went out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she met a young man in the corridor who was very familiar to her.
