A period of time passed, Gu Xiaoxia basically didn't practice much with Zhao Qing, and the two seemed to be caught in a cold war.

As for Zhong Youhe, he would still come over to accompany her from time to time, or take her out for a walk. The matter of that day was just as agreed, and no one mentioned it.

Gu Xin also came back from City H. Because of her special situation, the company specially gave her a few extra days off.

Gu Xin brought a lot of things from home, when Gu Xiaoxia saw it, her eyes were a little moist.

Gu Xin said, "Xiao Xia, the family misses you a lot, so go back sometime."

"Xiao Xia, this is a thermos that Dad specially bought for you, in case you get thirsty when you take it out."

"Xiao Xia, my parents wanted to come over, but I stopped them."

"..."

That day, Gu Xiaoxia suffered from insomnia again.

Winter goes to spring, and everything recovers. Just as Gu Xiaoxia is working hard to review the guide materials and prepare for the coming peak season, the peaceful life is disrupted again.

Today is the weekend, Gu Xiaoxia rejected Zhong You's proposal to go golf with them, and went to the supermarket by herself.

Carrying big and small bags out of the elevator, Gu Xiaoxia's forehead was sweating just as she was about to take the key to open the door.

With a "bang", the shopping bag fell to the ground, and Gu Xiaoxia froze there. After a long time, she heard her own voice, "Dad... why are you here..."

Gu Jiangtian and Gu Xiaoxia sat face to face, neither of them spoke first, but their movements were surprisingly consistent, holding a teacup and drinking water non-stop.

While drinking water, Gu Jiangtian sized up his little daughter whom he hadn't seen in three years. She had lost weight. She used to have a round face with some baby fat, but now it's all gone, and her chin is pointed.

Although girls nowadays wish to be thinner, Gu Jiangtian thinks it is better to be fatter.

My skin is fine, as before, it looks very elastic, I must have been taking care of it.

It's just that no matter how good the children are, in the eyes of their parents, it's better to be in front of them.What's more, there is no news about this one in three years.If Gu Xin hadn't mentioned it, he didn't know how long he would have been looking for her.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiangtian silently sighed in his heart, what a crime it is.

"Xiao Xia..." Gu Jiangtian took the initiative to speak, with a hint of melancholy in his voice, "How have you been away these few years? Have you endured hardships? Have you been wronged? Well? Tell Dad..."

Gu Xiaoxia, who was always nervous, suddenly became sad after hearing these words, and burst into tears, "Dad, I'm fine, I'm really fine, I haven't been wronged..."

"Stupid child, why cry when you are not wronged?" Gu Jiangtian took out a napkin from the table and handed it to Gu Xiaoxia, "Hurry up, you are a 26-year-old girl, why do you still love to cry like when you were a child..."

"Why are you crying, why are you crying, can't I be happy?" Gu Xiaoxia wiped away her tears and pursed her lips.

"Okay, okay, you didn't cry, it's because Dad misunderstood, okay?"

It was only then that Gu Xiaoxia burst into laughter, just like when she was a child, every time she cried, Gu Xin and her father used to coax her like this.

Raising her head, Gu Xiaoxia met Gu Jiangtian's concerned eyes, but there seemed to be something else hidden in it.

At this time, Gu Xiaoxia realized that it was only three years since they had seen each other. Gu Jiangtian seemed to have aged a lot, and there were many gray hairs on his temples.

Gu Xiaoxia's nose was sour, and she felt very uncomfortable.

She remembered that when she left, she actually blamed Gu Jiangtian in her heart.

She once thought, why is it her own father?If it wasn't for my father's chaos and abandonment back then, I and Huo Fan wouldn't have ended up like this.Half father and half mother, such a bloody novel plot actually happened to me.

How could that father, whom he was always proud of, and that professor at H University who was always loved by students, do such a thing?
However, she couldn't just watch Huo Fan's mother hurt her father and her favorite Huo Fan.She thought at the time, that's it, I just leave.

Seeing his daughter lost in thought, Gu Jiangtian could more or less guess what she was thinking.

Thinking about the words of the old man of the Huo family, a look of embarrassment suddenly flashed across Gu Jiangtian's normal face, hesitating whether he should say it or not.

When Gu Xiaoxia raised her head, she happened to see Gu Jiangtian groping for a cigarette, "Dad, do you have something to tell me?"

Gu Jiangtian seldom smokes. He only takes one out to smoke when he is irritable or has worries. This is his habit.

As soon as the words fell, Gu Jiangtian was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly. It's still his daughter who understands him.

It's just that once these words are spoken, I'm afraid it will hurt her heart again.

"Dad, if you have something to say, just say it."

Gu Jiangtian raised his head again, took a deep look at his daughter who had regained his composure, thought for a long time, and when he spoke again, his voice was low and hoarse, "I heard that Huo Fan also came to S City?"

Without waiting for Gu Xiaoxia to answer, Gu Jiangtian continued on his own, "Xiaoxia, you know all about it, the matter of Huo Ran coming to find Dad back then..."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxia suddenly raised her head, looked at her father in surprise, and immediately glanced aside in embarrassment after touching those guilt-filled eyes.Those buried past events seem to start to break out again, telling myself nakedly that it doesn't mean that they don't exist if they don't mention them.

Gu Jiangtian didn't go to see Gu Xiaoxia again, he was afraid that after seeing it, he couldn't bear to say it again, but he had to say, "Xiaoxia, come back to City H, or go to other places, don't you like Dali Lijiang, any city will do , Don’t stay in City S anymore, can you promise Dad?”

"What? Dad..." Gu Xiaoxia looked at the person opposite in disbelief, unable to hide the surprise in her eyes, "Why? Just because Huo Fan is also in City S? Dad, I don't understand."

"Xiao Xia..." Putting his hands on his knees, Gu Jiangtian buried his face in, and a painful voice came out from between his fingers, "Yes...Xiao Xia, I thought what Huo Ran said was just for revenge on me, DNA What does the appraisal count? It can be faked. But, Xiaoxia, I later took a piece of Huo Fan's hair and my own hair, and found an old classmate in the hospital, Huo Fan, he is really My son... what kind of crime have I committed..."

Every time Gu Jiangtian said a sentence, his voice lowered a little, and he seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden.

"Dad..." In fact, Gu Xiaoxia had doubts before. At the beginning, she even had a little hope, but now that Gu Jiangtian said it, she completely gave up.

Gu Xiaoxia's face was pale, and Gu Jiangtian was not much better.

"Xiao Xia, just be a father, please, leave City S, don't be in the same city as Huo Fan."

"Dad, I don't understand. I'm fine here. Why do I have to leave as soon as he comes? I don't want to hide anymore... Tell me, what is it for?"

"Xiao Xia!" Gu Jiangtian stood up excitedly, and then sat down in frustration, with his head turned to the sky and his eyes closed. He really couldn't bear to look at her.

"You know that Huo Fan is a child of the Huo family in City H, right? Then do you know how powerful the old man of the Huo family is? I tried to find out that Huo Fan had a high fever and was thrown abroad by the old man. Ask, and don't give any financial support. How can he treat his own grandchildren like this, let alone us unknown juniors? Let me tell you the truth, apart from the fact that Dad really misses you when he comes this time, Mr. Huo I have spoken, you and Huo Fan can no longer have any entanglements! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences..."

Thinking of the eagle-like eyes of the old man of the Huo family, no matter how calm Gu Jiangtian was in front of outsiders, he would inevitably shudder.

"Dad..." Gu Xiaoxia's voice was as ethereal as a cloud in the sky, "Mr. Huo is targeting our family so much because of Huo Fan's mother? Are you really... Are you going to be in chaos from beginning to end?"

Biting her lips tightly, Gu Xiaoxia still asked after all, feeling that things are not as simple as what her father said.

Gu Jiangtian still maintained his original posture, but his thoughts seemed to drift back to more than 20 years ago, "Hehe, I was still an intern teacher who hadn't become a full-time teacher. I fell in love with Huo Ran, but I didn't know her. It's Miss Huo's family. At the beginning, like all men and women in love, we swore to each other, we loved each other to the death, and even...the distance..."

Gu Xiaoxia heard it, but didn't have much reaction. In her opinion, it's normal for men and women to love deeply, but it was just conservative in that era.

"But later, I found that Huo Ran became more and more delicate and savage, and often made troubles for no reason. He was completely different from the gentle and generous before. We started to quarrel and fight coldly, but we still fell in love. Later, when Mr. Huo appeared, I knew that we were in love. The identity gap between them is so big. Mr. Huo wanted me to leave Huo Ran, but after all, I was young and energetic at that time, and I refused to agree. I believe that this little resistance is nothing in front of true love? Although I can’t give Huo Ran a good life immediately. , but I am working hard..."

"and after?"

"Later? Hehe..." Gu Jiangtian was full of bitterness and shame, "Mr. Huo cut off all of Huo Ran's sources of management, and my letter of reassignment has not come down, so I knew something was wrong. Later, your grandma cried The village ran up and said to me, give up Huo Ran, or your father will be forced to death... Finally, I compromised, and on the day I abandoned Huo Ran, the document was transferred, and after that, everything went smoothly..."

When Gu Jiangtian said this, even after so many years, he still looked down on himself.If others found out, they might say that he abandoned his own flesh and blood for the sake of his future, although he really didn't know it.

"What about this time? What is Mr. Huo threatening us with?" Gu Xiaoxia was dumbfounded, besides saying something good and bad, could it be that he really blamed his father?What right does she have to blame?

"Xiaoxia..." After struggling for a long time, Gu Jiangtian still put the ultimate goal of this visit first, "Mr. Huo said, if there is still entanglement, my identity as a professor will be lost, let alone very Possibly the position of deputy dean. He said that Huo Fan will always be a child of the Huo family and must never have any connection with the Gu family..."

Gu Xiaoxia didn't even know what she was thinking, she just stood up tremblingly, with a wry smile on her face besides sarcasm.

"What relationship can I have with Huo Fan? A brother and sister in name? Dad, since I chose to leave at the beginning, I have shown that I will not let you get hurt..."
