Chapter 844
Before coming back, Bai Jie made enough preparations.
At this moment, she was sitting in Gu Qingyuan's living room. When she whispered that she was Xiaojie at the door, Gu Qingyuan still thought for a while before he remembered who she was.
Gu Qingyuan put on his reading glasses, holding Bai Jie's mobile phone in his left hand and a magnifying glass in his right hand. He was looking at the photos in Bai Jie's mobile phone.
At first glance, these photos look like old photos taken with a mobile phone, but the limited number of old photos include Bai Yongnian and Gu Qingyuan, and one of them was even taken at Bai Yongnian's home.
"Uncle Gu, do you still remember this? The cake you bought for me was my birthday. There was a strawberry on the cake. I ate the strawberry after I opened it. My dad also said something to me. Don't remember?" Bai Jie sat next to Gu Qingyuan, pointed to the photo on her phone, and asked softly.
Yes, yes, yes...
Gu Qingyuan looked at Bai Jie beside him and returned the phone to her. Even if someone got the photos of Bai Jie's house and pretended to be her to come to him, this detail that happened on Bai Jie's birthday more than ten years ago was not present. No one would know it, and even those present might not be able to remember it, but Gu Qingyuan remembered it very clearly.
Gu Qingyuan glanced at Bai Jie again, shook his head and said, "Oh, how come you have changed so much in these days? I don't recognize you at all."
"The girl's eighteenth transformation, Uncle Gu, we haven't seen each other for fifteen years, right?" Bai Jie said quietly.
"Yeah, I haven't seen you since you went abroad to study."
There is no need to go to the Three Treasures Palace. Now that I am here, it is not as simple as just reminiscing about the past.
"How long will it take for you to come back this time?" Gu Qingyuan said.
One month before Bai Yongnian was arrested, he had contacted his daughter Bai Jie. A seemingly unpremeditated phone call ended with Bai Yongnian making an assumption.
This assumption has been deeply embedded in Bai Jie's mind all these years, and she has never told anyone about it.
Bai Yongnian's assumption was that if something happened to him in the future, he would give some things to Gu Qingyuan, the teacher who went to his home to celebrate her birthday. At that time, he was really just a university teacher.
Either she came back to Gu Qingyuan in person to ask for his return, or she kept this matter in her stomach and could not tell anyone until her death, because it was not only related to her own life and death, but also to Bai Yongnian's.
Later, the hypothesis came true and something happened to her father Bai Yongnian. From then on, this hypothesis that became a fact was buried deep in her heart.
No one knew about this, not even Xiang Yuanzhou, because Bai Jie remembered what her father said, and it was also related to her life and death, unless she took it herself.
Either get it yourself or not, this was the bottom line Bai Yongnian gave her.
The bottom line means that it cannot be touched at any time. She has adhered to this line for ten years.
Even though she was about to return to China, and even though several other people wanted to know how she would do it and how to impress Chen Bo, she did not tell her the truth or reasons, because it was related to her personal life and death, and no one wanted to know. Not afraid of death.
"It may take a while. I'm here to see Chen Bo. The man who provided for my father in his old age also wants to get my father's ashes back." Bai Jie said.
She was very smart. She didn't make her purpose clear at the beginning, but instead pulled Chen Bo out.
Gu Qingyuan glanced at her but said nothing.
Bai Jie continued: "Uncle, I just arrived in Yuecheng yesterday. The changes here are really great. Now I live in a hotel. In Yuecheng, I don't dare to find people I can't trust, so I will come to you first." Here it is.”
The show of weakness was just right, and he first talked about the friendship between the two families, without mentioning what his father put here, but just emphasized the friendship between the two families.
Gu Qingyuan nodded, but he didn't invite her to live at home. After all, she said herself that she didn't want to meet people she couldn't trust. If she rashly invited her to his home, could they trust her?
It's one thing to come to find yourself, but it's another thing to come and live at home.
So, Bai Jie came to Gu Qingyuan's house during the day to talk with him, cook, chat about home affairs, and her life abroad these years. She went back to the hotel to stay at night, but she didn't care about the matter she had agreed to find with Chen Bo. Not in a hurry.
Finally, Gu Qingyuan couldn't stand it anymore.
"Son, aren't you going to find Chen Bo? He is now in Beiyuan, not in Donghai Province..." Gu Qingyuan said.
"I've also heard about it in the past few days, and I was just about to tell you about it. I'm going to Beiyuan tomorrow. I may have to wait for a while before I come back to see you. The weather has been bad these days, so don't go out, slip and fall It's not good." Bai Jie continued obediently.
What she said was precise and without any sense of violation. She seemed to have calculated what Gu Qingyuan was going to say and what he was thinking in his heart.
Before leaving, Bai Jie stood at the door without opening the door. She turned to look at Gu Qingyuan who was seeing him off, and asked: "Uncle Gu, then I leave, don't you have anything to say to me? For example, about My dad, did he entrust you with anything?"
It can't be said that it was a matter of fact, but at least it was said openly.
Gu Qingyuan said this to her, then pointed to the sofa and motioned for her to sit down.
"Well, I knew your purpose as soon as you came, but you came late." Gu Qingyuan said.
"What's the meaning?"
"Those things were given to Chen Bo. This is also what your father meant. He came with your father's recording. Your father had a recorded will before his death, saying that he asked me to give all those things to Chen Bo for safekeeping. So you came to me, I know very well why you came, but I still kept some luck..."
"If you don't mention it, I won't mention it. It seems that your father also told you that he kept some things with me. Those things are not necessarily a good thing. You have been abroad for a long time and have not returned to China for such a long time. Once you take it It is not necessarily a good thing for your safety to see those things. Alas, people die for money and birds die for food. After all, there is no way to escape..."
Bai Jie finally understood what her father meant. It was about her personal safety. Gu Qingyuan also said so. But if she was really just afraid of death, maybe she wouldn't come back.
"Uncle Gu, what kind of person is Chen Bo? Do you think he will stand by me if I go to find him? Or will he keep it to himself?" Bai Jie asked.
As a result, Bai Jie did not leave Gu Qingyuan's house again. She had been listening to Gu Qingyuan's story about Chen Bo in the past few days. She wanted to study Chen Bo more thoroughly so that she could choose a suitable one for Chen Bo. An entry point that cannot be denied.
