Gu Beixian pulled the lighter and lit the DNA identification report.
The faint yellow flames licked the paper bit by bit, gradually burning the paper into a pile of ashes, curled up in the ashtray.
Gu Beixian opened the office door and walked out.
I happened to see Gu Aoting dressed neatly, surrounded by assistants, vice presidents and others, about to go out.
Caught off guard.
Gu Beixian didn't know how to face this wronged father who had been deceived for more than thirty years.
The complicated psychology is reflected on the face, and it becomes whether to smile or not.
With just this subtle expression, Gu Aoting understood it instantly.
The raised foot fell down with a click.
He froze in place.
I have mixed feelings in my heart.
Anger, grievance, depression, and deep guilt for my family, all kinds of complicated emotions are overwhelming in my chest, like a mountain roaring like a tsunami!
It was obviously autumn, but Gu Aoting felt cold.
The blood seemed to rush away from his heart and his body.
His hands and feet were cold, as if they were frozen in the ice and snow.
Seeing his father like this, Gu Beixian understood clearly and said, "You want to go out?"
Gu Aoting didn't respond.
Gu Beixian asked again, "Director Gu, where are you going?"
Gu Aoting seemed to have been woken up from a dream, and said dullly: "Go to Binjiang Bay."
Gu Beixian lowered his eyes and looked at the watch on his wrist, "I still have some time, so I'll go with you."
Gu Aoting raised his right hand and mechanically made a "stop" gesture, "No, don't say anything."
Listen carefully, there is something almost pleading in this forced majesty.
Gu Beixian suddenly sympathized with him.
Extremely sympathetic.
A person with such a successful career and a strong personality was deceived by the Lin family!
How tragic!
Gu Beixian nodded slightly, "My mobile phone is turned on for you 24 hours a day. You can come to me at any time. Except that I can't drink with you, you can do anything else."
Gu Aoting responded vaguely.
He raised his lead-like legs and moved forward step by step.
He was obviously being admired by so many people, but he looked so lonely, and his straight shoulders and back seemed to be bent.
Gu Beixian raised the corners of his lips and shook his head.
Gu Aoting didn't know how he moved into the car.
Sitting in the back seat, my brain was as groggy as the snowflakes appearing on the black and white TV.
The driver spoke to him, but Gu Aoting didn't hear it.
Even when his assistant called him, he couldn't hear him.
The nauseating feeling covered his head and face, strangling him like a rope, making him unable to breathe.
He held his head and wanted to cry.
But as an adult, I can’t even cry.
When bad emotions reach a certain threshold, they have to be restrained and suppressed.
By the time the car arrived at Binjiang Bay, Gu Aoting had regained his steely expression.
The strong aura developed by living in a high position for a long time makes him calm and confident.
Everyone who saw him treated him with respect.
As if nothing happened, Gu Aoting first went to the sales office to inspect the building, then put on his safety helmet and changed into shoes, then led a group of his men to inspect the construction site.
While inspecting, he listened carefully to the project manager's report on the progress of the project, and calmly issued orders from time to time.
No one could imagine that this majestic, solemn, tall and stalwart chairman was so sad that he huddled up in a ball in the car just now, and once collapsed to the point of crying.
After returning from Binjiang Bay, Gu Aoting went to discuss another acquisition case.
In the evening, when he was socializing with the top leaders of relevant departments, he drank and laughed happily, and there was no trace of sadness at all.
After a busy day, I return to the office at night.
The lights weren't on either.
Gu Aoting sat in the spacious and almost empty office, completely hiding himself in the darkness.
The emptiness and harsh loneliness hammered into every pore of his body.
The world was so lonely that he seemed to be the only one left.
At this moment, Gu Aoting understood. No wonder the ancient emperors claimed to be "little men" even though they had so many ministers around them and had three palaces and six courtyards in their harem.
When people reach a certain position, they have too many worries and want to say something, but they can't find the right person.
I sat there for a long time.
"Jingle Bell!"
The sharp ringtone suddenly pierced the heavy loneliness.
Gu Aoting slowly lowered his eyes and glanced at the screen of his phone.
Five words on the caller ID: My favorite Shu Bao.
It's Qin Shu calling.
Gu Aoting raised the corners of his lips and wanted to smile, but tears welled up in his heart.
He raised his hand to press his eye sockets to suppress the sadness, and then pulled up the corners of his lips with his hand to make a smile.
After answering the phone, Gu Aoting put laughter in his voice and said, "Shu, do you have anything to do with me?"
Qin Shu said: "Gu Qingliu, look at what time it is. Are you still going home?"
Gu Aoting raised his eyes and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
Before I knew it, it was already eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.
He hesitated for a moment, coughed and said, "I still have some unfinished work on hand. When I finish it, I will spend the night in the office lounge. You don't have to wait for me. Remember to close the window. The nutrient solution I bought to promote sleep quality is in the first drawer of my bedside table, remember to drink it.”
Qin Shu paused, "Are you okay?"
Gu Aoting's laughter was hearty and proud, "What can happen to me? My wife is young and beautiful, graceful and generous, versatile and capable; my son is smart and capable, and in his early thirties, he can already support his own business; my daughter-in-law is gentle and elegant. , he is still a strange person who can do anything; his grandson is smart, cute, handsome and caring. I am the legendary winner in life, I am so happy that I wake up laughing even in my dreams."
Qin Shu thought for a moment and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't keep it in your heart. I'm not an outsider."
"It's okay, it's really okay. I'm fine. I'm just busy with work."
"Then I hang up the phone?"
"Okay, hang up."
Qin Shu was about to hang up the phone.
Gu Aoting suddenly shouted: "Qin Shu."
"Um?"
"I love you, Qin Shu, very much, very much, very much. You are the only woman in this world that I have truly loved. I love you..." Gu Aoting hurriedly hung up the phone.
If he didn't hang up, the choke in his voice would reveal his true emotions.
He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.
After a long time, Gu Aoting's eyes moved to the photo of Qin Shu beside him.
In the photo, Qin Shu has bright eyes and white teeth, is elegant and quiet, and exudes a beautiful and confident atmosphere.
Time never defeats beauty.
It is probably because of her pure heart and pure kindness that she is so favored by God.
Even though she has gone through so many hardships, she has no resentment or hostility, and she is not like Mrs. Xianglin, who nags and complains all day long.
On the contrary, she is generous, open-minded and transparent.
Such a good person suffered so much for nothing because he was temporarily blind and was involved.
Gu Aoting felt ashamed of Qin Shu.
Extremely guilty.
Too embarrassed to see her.
He picked up the photo frame and carefully held it in his arms.
Go into the lounge.
Lying on the bed, Gu Aoting tilted his head and looked at Qin Shu in the photo frame.
Fantasy, how wonderful it would be if I met her first?
That way their lives will be much smoother.
While I was thinking wildly, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
Then there was the sound of unlocking.
Gu Aoting sat up suddenly and looked at the door warily, "Who is it?"
