Still so cute today

Gu Meng almost burst into tears when she heard Qi Lian's voice, but considering that her parents were still there, she tried her best to hold back the crying in her voice, and called softly, "Uncle."

Qi Lian frowned when he heard the voice, living with the child for so long, he immediately discovered the crying hidden in the child's words.

"Mengmeng, what's the matter?"

"No, I just miss you a little bit."

Qi Lian's heart softened when he heard it, and he probably knew what happened, but it's inconvenient or he doesn't want to talk about it now, so he just comforted the child with a few words: "Uncle misses you too, Mengmeng, be good, uncle will pick you up soon .”

"Well, uncle, be careful on the road."

……

At night, Gu Meng huddled alone on the small bed in the hotel. Gu's father and Gu's mother wanted to come and sleep with him, but he refused.

It was already very late, Gu Meng yawned a little, tears filled his eyes, his eyes were a little foggy, as if he was going to sleep soon, but he suddenly shook his little head and woke up again.

Looking at the time, it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening. Gu Ning was lying at the foot of his bed, sleeping soundly, and even made a small snoring sound.Gu Meng turned her eyes to the door, why don't you come, uncle?

I waited for a long time, but after all, I couldn't stand the drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep.

……

Here, Qi Lian just hung up on Gu Meng and was about to pick him up, but received an unexpected call.

"Uncle Han?"

Uncle Han is one of the housekeepers of the Qi family's old house. Although he is not the most powerful, but watching Qi Lian grow up, he has always favored him. The relationship between the two is very good.Generally, he will not call him for no reason at this time.

"Master, something happened."

Qi Lian opened the car door and said, "What's the matter? I'm going to pick up Mengmeng."

"Master is gone."

The sound of the car starting overwhelmed the voice on the phone for a while, and Qi Lian couldn't believe his ears for a while: "What?"

"The master is gone, he passed away."

Qi Lian was silent for a moment, his hands holding the steering wheel trembled, and he tried his best to calm himself down: "I'll be right back."

"Master, wait a minute," at this time, Uncle Han's words came from the phone, "Ma'am, she has sealed off the old house now. She found something in the notes left by the master. You may not be able to enter now." Come."

Qi Lian frowned: "What's the matter?"

Uncle Han thought about it for a while: "About your life experience, young master."

"life experience?"

Qi Lian suddenly remembered his father's lukewarm treatment of him these years, and had some bad premonitions. He noticed Uncle Han's hesitation, and took a deep breath: "Uncle Han, tell me."

The person on the other end of the phone finally uttered everything he knew, Qi Lian listened silently, his eyes were full of darkness that couldn't be resolved.

Uncle Han finished talking about everything he had discovered, but he didn't hear Qi Lian's voice, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried: "Master?"

Qi Lian was silent again: "Alright, you don't need to call me young master anymore."

Uncle Han paused: "This may not be true."

Qi Lian laughed self-deprecatingly: "Since you have told me everything, it means that this matter is absolutely true."

The phone was silent.

"Uncle Han, in fact, my father and mother used to, oh no, I should have discovered something about their attitude towards me...Okay, Uncle Han, I have nothing to do, so I'll hang up now."

The person on the other side of the phone sighed when he heard the sound of 'beep' coming from the microphone. He should have known how stubborn he was when he looked at the child he grew up from.

Qi Lian hung up the phone, looked at the screen of the phone, there was no movement for a long time, then wiped his face and looked outside through the car window.

The night of this city is always as dark as black, and there is no starlight or moonlight when looking up, Qi Lian only feels that the past 20 years are like a joke, and many scenes from the past appear before his eyes.The self who struggles to get the attention of his parents; the self who suppresses his true thoughts; the self who strives to become what everyone around him likes... everything, the last scene is fixed on the face of a smiling child superior.

Qi Lian thought, what was he going to do just now?

By the way, go pick up the kids.

The car had already turned off at a certain moment just now, Qi Lian stretched out his hand to turn the key, but because of the slight trembling of his fingers, he started it several times in succession, and when the car finally started, he found that the handbrake had not been released.

Qi Lian finally gave up driving at this time. He found a cigarette from the car, lit it, put it in his mouth, and took a sip. A little bit of bitter tobacco smell soaked into his chest cavity through his throat, diluting the restlessness in his heart , but he who hadn't choked for a long time was so choked that he coughed slightly.

The first time Qi Lian smoked was when he was young and ignorant. He was rebellious in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent it. He smoked like an adult, and found that it could relieve the restlessness in his heart, but his family members didn't notice it either.He hasn't smoked since raising a child at home.

Thinking of the child, Qi Lian couldn't help thinking of what the child experienced today, he was afraid that he had met someone, he didn't ask specifically, but was worried that the child would bring back bad memories.Looking at the time, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. If it was normal, the child would have gone to bed. I don't know if he slept today or was waiting for him...

Qi Lian wanted to call Gu Meng, but when his finger was about to touch the phone number he just called, he flinched again.

He is not the child's uncle, so what right does he have to blame the parents.

What qualifications...to raise Gu Meng.

The screen of the mobile phone remained on until the battery ran out. After a long time, Qi Lian finally chose to drive to the old house.

Sure enough, the guard did not let him in, the reason was that the old house was under martial law, Qi Lian looked at the flickering old house hidden among the trees with a gloomy expression.

……

Here, the Gu family and his wife waited in the living room for a long time, but they did not receive a call from Zheng Wei. The two of them were quite puzzled. When they called Qi Lian again, his mobile phone had already been shut down.

The two were a little uneasy, but it was getting late, and there was nothing they could do. They could only wait until dawn the next day. At the same time, they also used the hotel's computer to contact Zheng Wei online, and they didn't know when he would be able to see it.

Until dawn the next day, the first thing the couple did when they woke up was to turn on the computer to see if Zheng Weiyou on the Internet had replied to them, but unfortunately, they did not receive a reply.

Gu Meng didn't sleep very well that night, so when there was a noise outside the house in the morning, she immediately opened her eyes, and it took a while to recover.As soon as he came to his senses, he kept looking around, but he didn't find his uncle's figure, so he withdrew his eyes in some disappointment.

Uncle must have something to do temporarily, he usually won't make a slip of the tongue, Gu Meng kept comforting himself in his heart.

But at the same time, his heart was a little chilly, he could call and tell him if something happened, he was not an unreasonable child, when he thought that his uncle hadn't come, and he had to go to that place with his parents today, Gu Meng felt aggrieved. Shrunk into the quilt.

It will soon be twelve o'clock in the noon. This is the time Gu Zimu made an appointment with the debt collectors. Zheng Wei has not sent a message. The couple have no choice but to go to Gu Zimu's hometown.

When the vehicle drove to the intersection and was about to arrive at the location of the hut, the family ran into an acquaintance, Gu's father's manager, Zheng Wei.

When Gu Zimu saw him, he was still a little confused, got out of the car and asked in confusion, "Zheng Wei, why are you here?"

Zheng Wei looked anxious: "Brother, something happened." After speaking, he looked at Qi Hui who was not far away with some hesitation.

"what happened?"

Zheng Wei leaned into Gu Zimu's ear: "Sister-in-law's father is gone. I received the news this morning, but I had to rush over because I couldn't contact you."

When Gu Zimu heard this, his heart sank. He subconsciously glanced at Qi Hui's direction, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down: "We'll go back right away, and I'll leave Gu Yuan's affairs to you. .”

After the two chatted, Gu Zimu turned around and returned to the car.

Qi Hui also felt the sight of the two people looking here frequently, and asked with some doubts: "What's wrong?"

"Ahui, Mengmeng," feeling the gazes of the two, Gu Zimu didn't even dare to look at them, "There is something I have to tell you, it's about Mr. Qi, he passed away last night .”

Qi Hui only felt a blank in her mind: "What?"

Gu Zimu looked at his wife's expression, opened his mouth, but finally couldn't bear to say those two words again, turned sideways, and hugged Qi Hui into his arms.

After a while, the person in his arms whimpered.

Gu Meng looked at the two people embracing in front of him, feeling cold in his heart. He raised his eyes and looked out of the car. The north wind rolled off the remaining leaves on the tree and fell to the ground in a swing. The wind rolls up and down, rolls up and down.

Gu Meng looked at it, and suddenly burst into tears, but he didn't want to be discovered by the two people in front of him. The tears kept falling, so he kept wiping away the tears from his face with his sleeves, and finally hugged Gu Meng beside him. Ning, buried her face in its fur.

……

Although Gu Zimu tried his best to drive the car as fast as possible, they didn't rush back to the old house until the evening.

The parking lot, which used to be empty in the past, is crowded with vehicles at this time, the old house looks plain, and the faces of pedestrians are full of sorrow.

Gu Zimu supported Qi Hui and walked towards the small building. Qi Hui held Gu Meng's hand. Knowing that the family had made many enemies in recent years, she decided not to show her cowardice at this time, and tried her best to straighten her back and walk forward.

But when he walked into the small building and looked at the photo of his father, his body almost went limp, but with Gu Zimu's support, he didn't show it at all.
