Chapter 20: . Chairman Gu's request

Chu Xing did not want to leave Wucheng, but I kept urging him. He sent me home silently. I stood still at the door very stubbornly. He sighed and asked, "Do you really want to drive me away?" "
　　 Now that there are not many people around me, the only Ji Nuan who can be heart-to-heart is still in prison.
　　 To be honest, I am not willing to leave him.
　　 But people have been calling him frequently recently.
　　 I clearly understand that he has a lot of troubles, and I don't want to delay his time.
　　 Besides, I don’t want him to face my life and death.
　　 I nodded and said, "Well, give me some time to be alone."
　　 "Nine years of alone time is not enough?"
　　 I was startled. This year is the 9th anniversary of the death of my parents.
　　 The past nine years have been so busy and in a trance, I have never done anything for myself.
　　 The only time is the worst decision in this life.
　　 If I could start over, I would not choose to marry Gu Tingchen.
　　 I frowned and said firmly: "Thank you brother for taking care of me during this time."
　　 Seeing that my persistence has been decided, Chu Xing promised to leave later.
　　 He sent me into the room to remove my makeup personally. It was a bit clumsy but better than patience. There was a shallow scar on his face without makeup. Chu Xing was even more sad when he saw it. He trembled and asked, "What's the matter?"
　　 I still remember that that day, Gu Tingchen pushed me to the ground in order to protect Wen Ruyan. I told him clearly and clearly that I was in pain, but he didn't pay attention to me.
　　 Even afterwards, he never asked about this wound.
　　 I smiled and said, "I accidentally fell."
　　 "How can I fall like this?"
　　Chu Xing guessed that it was not easy, but when I saw that I didn’t want to say that he didn’t follow up, I blinked and asked him worriedly,
Is the loss of the Chu family much to the cancellation of the cooperation with the Gu family?

　　 I have been messing around in the commercial arena. Chu Xing knew that it was useless to hide from me, so he said frankly: "Yes, but Gu's family will also be implicated. It's not a bad thing to me."
　　 I lowered my eyes and said, "Brother Chu Xing, thank you."
"Sheng'er, you are the only daughter of the Shi family. You were born noble, and you have the greatest power in Wucheng. Now you give up everything naturally and you should be guarded by me. What honor you were once will be honored in the future. I want to let Wucheng, let Gu Tingsheng know that some people cherish what he doesn't care about."
　　 Someone treasures the most...
Chu Xing made me a hot dinner and left. When he returned to City S, he called me to report that I was safe, and told me carefully: "Call me if you have anything. It’s only a two-hour flight from S city to Wucheng. No matter when, wherever, I will show up in front of you within two hours, Shenger, don’t carry anything by yourself. ."
　　 I responded and said gratefully: "Thank you, my mother back then, for giving me a brother."
　　 "Silly boy, you are everything to me."
　　 I smiled and said, "My sister-in-law will be jealous when I hear."
　　 "No, she loves you like me."
　　 "Well, I'll hang up first."
After hanging up Chu Xing’s call, I took a shower and fell asleep. Early the next morning, I received a call from Teacher Yu. She was my piano teacher when I was young. I will go to her to practice piano. After so many years, my piano skills are very high, so Teacher Yu often asks me to go to the First University in Wucheng to teach her a lesson when I have something to do, just like today.
Thinking that I had nothing to do, I simply agreed. I got up and changed clothes and put on makeup. I didn’t want to make myself look so cold, so I wore a bright winter dress and a pair of flat shoes. A light makeup, very light, so light that it just covers up the shallow scars on the face just right.
The school is full of students, and my garage is full of sports cars. I didn’t want to be too ostentatious, so I took a taxi to school. As soon as I arrived at school, I received a phone call that I didn’t want to answer temporarily. I've always been fine. I stood at the school gate and asked, "Is there anything Dad is looking for?"
　　Wucheng hasn't snowed recently, and the sun is shining. I looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and heard Chairman Gu helplessly ask: "What is the relationship between you and Chu Xing?"
　　 I pretended to be stupid and asked: "What's the matter?"
　　 "He revoked all the contracts with the Gu family last night, and even paid a large amount of liquidated damages, but what the Gu family needs is not the liquidated damages, Shenger, the Gu family needs those contracts."
"Dad, there are some things I can't do. Chu Xing wants to vent my anger, even I can't stop it. If you have anything in the future, just ask Gu Tingchen or find a way to solve it, because now, everything outside has nothing to do with me. I can't stop it, don't bother me with these things."
　　 My tone is too hard, Chairman Gu was silent for a moment.
　　 After a while, he asked: "You can't be my daughter-in-law after you divorced? Shenger, you know, I have always opposed Wen Ruyan entering the door of Gu's house, but Tingchen feels that I always owe her."
After a pause, he said again: "Ting Chen doesn't love her, he just feels that he owes her, and it just so happens that in his heart he always stubbornly believes that he owes her a wedding. Sheng'er, he just owes her a wedding. I didn’t want to understand what I want for you. He grew up in my arrangement when he was young. He has never deviated from the track and has never resisted. Maybe he himself felt that there was no need to resist until he met Wen Ruyan, that was his number one. Against me the next time, he may think that divorcing you is winning me."
　　 "Dad, Gu Tingchen is an adult, and he has his own thinking about what he does. It is his own business that he likes. The divorce between me and him was carefully thought out, and no one owes anyone."
　　 Chairman Gu sighed and asked for a general question after a long time; "Can you remarry?"
　　 "There is no possibility between me and him."
　　 "Sheng'er, I can persuade him as long as you want."
　　 I quickly said: "I don't want to."
　　 I have known him for three years. I know exactly what kind of person he is. In the eyes of Chairman Gu, the interests of the Gu family are paramount. Now that someone threatens this interest, he will surely eradicate Wen Ruyan.
But now he is no match for Gu Tingchen. If he is no match for Wen Ruyan, Wen Ruyan will not be able to move. Gu Tingchen will still marry her if he is unable to move her. So he thought of the way to me. He hoped that I could remarry Gu Tingchen, so that the Chu family would not only be able to marry her. Cooperation will be one step closer because of my relationship.
　　In the eyes of Chairman Gu, I don’t change my daughter, and Wen Ruyan is worthless.
　　 I should be glad that I am a daughter of the Shi family, so let him cherish it for many years.
　　 I don't want to participate in the harassment between them, and there is no extra time to waste. After I hung up the phone of Chairman Gu, I went to the classroom on the first floor. These students saw me in high spirits.
　　 "Teacher Shi, I haven't seen you in a few months to teach us."
　　 "Did you recently talked about your boyfriend and forgot about us?"
　　 "Teacher Shi, what song are you teaching us today?"
　　 "Teacher Shi, you are still beautiful today."
　　 "……"
They asked me a lot of questions, and I couldn’t cope with it and had to smile. I said that I am about the same age as them. If I follow a normal life trajectory, I should be like them now, sitting in the classroom waiting for the teacher to teach. , But also a final exam.
　　 "Teacher Shi, why are you not talking?"
　　 a young big boy asked me.
　　 I smiled and joked, "What should I say after you have finished talking?"
　　 "Oh, does Shi have a partner?"
　　Jing asked some unnutritious questions.
　　 I smiled and said, "Alright, alright, class starts."
　　 "What song did the teacher teach us today?"
　　 "The street where the wind lives."
　　 I have never played the streets where the wind lives under the public, or even since my parents passed away, I have never touched this song again. I dare not, but also subconsciously avoiding it.
　　 This may be the last lesson I gave them, so I want to leave this song to them, I want to give them the most precious thing in my heart, and hope they will remember me as a teacher in the future.
　　 piano music, the street where the wind lives.
That score exists deep in my memory. I listened to the person playing it several times. I remembered the piano music I heard in the classroom not long ago. I remembered the little girl who heard it again and again. I closed my eyes and played it. Playing this piece, the piano sound exactly like that person, trickled into my ears.
　　The street where the wind lives. In fact, the wind never lived here or stayed here. He just passed by. When you and I were both young, we took away our time. You left here after such a gust of wind. And I have been waiting in place, but the wind has gone, and all he took away from the whole street were pieces of fallen leaves. Where was everything that was originally hazy gradually fainted by the water, becoming more hazy, and finally can't see clearly, even if it is from the back, what is left is only a person's memory.
　　 Everything is gone, empty...
　　 I laughed, but my tears couldn't hold back.
　　 I stopped and the students asked me why I was crying.
　　 I smiled and said, "That's the teacher's little secret."
　　 After a class, I took my bag and left the classroom, but went out in a daze.
　　 When was Gu Tingchen here?
　　 I was surprised and asked: "Why are you here?"
　　 Gu Tingchen wore an orthodox black suit with a stern face, his eyes looked at me deeply, he pursed his lips, and asked indifferently, "Shi Sheng, why did you cry just now?"
　　 I smiled and asked, "Does it have anything to do with Mr. Gu?"
　　 Gu Tingchen was choked and his face was not very good, but he still asked stubbornly: "What is your little secret?"
　　 I frowned, "You can't understand people or something?"
　　My little secret is about that person that year, that piano piece.
　　 has nothing to do with Gu Tingchen in front of him.
　　 I don’t want to fight with Gu Tingchen here, so I dropped this sentence and left quickly. Gu Tingchen followed me closely. I finally didn’t have a good temper and said, "Gu Tingchen, what do you want to do?"
　　 I stared at him, without a good face, but Gu Tingchen laughed and said, "I rarely see you angry!"
　　 I was stunned, "What are you going to do?"
　　 was silent for a long time, and he suddenly said: "I regret it."
　　 I was forced to ask: "What?"
　　 "Shi Sheng, I regret divorcing you."
