In the past few days, he had been busy all night once in a while. His body was tired and his heart was even more tired. Every time he stood in front of the window in the early morning and looked down at the whole city, he missed ye zhiqiao very much.
After the engagement party that day, he and ye zhiqiao sat in the empty auditorium and chatted for a while. Ye zhiqiao did not complain or hate him as he imagined, but was very calm, perhaps with a little embarrassment and awkwardness, but did not intentionally embarrass him.
They talked about a lot of unimportant things, such as how little treasure had been eating recently, whether jian mengqi's anger had subsided or not, how perfunctory Qin Baiye's speech was just now, and so on. Unlike the excitement of their expected reunion, they were very calm, just like an old couple who had lived together for many years, understanding each other, understanding each other, and being able to get along in a very gentle and comfortable way.
The only regret was that they were not sure about getting back together that day.
Gu mohan did not know why ye zhiqiao did not mention it. After thinking about it, it was he who proposed the breakup and was engaged to someone else. Ye zhiqiao, such a self-respecting girl, could not take the initiative to get back together with him even if she liked him.
And he didn't mention it because he felt that it was disrespectful of ye zhiqiao to propose a reconciliation under such circumstances.
Even though he had a hard time breaking up, ye zhiqiao forgave him as trust, but he could not rely on ye zhiqiao's trust to mistreat her.
When the two of them get back together, he has to bring it up personally and confess again after everything is settled.
For example, today at noon.
Ye zhiqiao answered the phone very quickly. It seemed that she had been up for a long time. Gu mohan looked out the window at the sky and said with concern, "The weather has been bad recently. You should get up early and put on a coat. Don't catch a cold."
"Yes, I know." Ye zhiqiao smiled and agreed, then asked, "Did you work overtime again last night? Why didn't you call so early to catch up on your sleep?"
Gu mohan relaxed and leaned back in his chair. He looked up and said, "No, I'm not tired. I'll just have a meal with you and make up for it. Are you free at noon?"
Ye zhiqiao couldn't help but smile when she heard this. It turned out that she was going to be invited to dinner.
But...
She reconfirmed the schedule on her computer. It was exactly around eleven o' clock, so she should not be back in time to have dinner with gu mohan.
"Not at noon. Maybe another day."
"Ah?!" Gu mohan straightened up and was about to say that he had already made a reservation, but the words came to his lips, "Well... Then you should be busy. I'll treat you another time."
Ye zhiqiao agreed with a smile and changed her shoes after saying goodbye to gu mohan.
Driving all the way to the police station, ye zhiqiao got out of the car and was led directly into the meeting room by the police. There, she wanted to see an old friend.
Not long after, the door of the meeting room was opened again, and ye yiyu, who was wearing handcuffs... Or gu chengyan, appeared at the door. The moment she saw ye zhiqiao, her face showed an expression that could not tell whether to cry or laugh.
The police officer unlocked one of her handcuffs and locked it on a chair. He turned around and told ye zhiqiao a few words before leaving.
"Ye yi language." Ye zhiqiao called the name directly because she came here today for the name.
Ye yiyu looked in the direction of the police officer leaving for a while, then turned around and pursed her lips, "I didn't expect you to be quite resourceful. You should have a lot of work to do when you see me alone as a person who is going to be sent to prison, right? I thought you were a righteous white lotus, huh!"
Ye zhiqiao did not smile and just looked at her quietly. After a long time, she said, "Your face is really not like before, but your personality has not changed at all."
"Ye zhiqiao, you!"
This face was the last thing ye yiyu wanted to mention, because it reminded her of the past, of the dark days, of every grovel and flattery after gu chengyan...
Ye yiyu was her pride, and gu chengyan was her darkest and dirtiest history!
Ye zhiqiao knew this was her weakness, but she wanted to make her pain.
"Answer me a question." Ye zhiqiao remained expressionless, as if confident that ye yiyu would agree.
Ye yiyu blushed, sneered, shook his head and said, "Who do you think you are? Now that I'm like this, can I answer your question with a reduced sentence or acquittal?"
"...
Ye zhiqiao did not speak and stared at her closely. Her eyes were clear and calm, but they seemed to have a soul-stirring light in them.
Ye yiyu didn't know why, but she was so shocked by this stare that she could only snort coldly, "Forget it. Let's hear your question first! I would like to see how much more you can squeeze me out now."
Ye zhiqiao had no intention of dealing with her. Seeing that she let go, she said directly, "Did what happened five years ago have something to do with you? Or... Did you arrange it yourself?"
"Five years ago?" Ye yiyu frowned, tilted his head and thought for a while. He didn't know why and said, "What's the matter?"
Looking at ye zhiqiao's current appearance, the question must be related to her, and it must have been something she had designed to harm ye zhiqiao.
But she had hurt ye zhiqiao so many times that she couldn't count her hands. How could she know which one ye zhiqiao was referring to?
Hearing ye yi's question, ye zhiqiao's expression finally relaxed.
That incident was a disgrace to her life. She had tried so hard to forget it and even suffered from mild depression. If she could, she wanted it to rot in her heart and never see the light for the rest of her life!
But now she suspected that the incident had something to do with ye yiyu. If her suspicions were correct, then perhaps her long years of anxiety would be over.
Foreign psychiatrists have told her that if she can't forget it and just run away, it will only harm her and face it bravely so that the sun can shine again.
Ye zhi coincidentally clenched her hand under the table. She swallowed her saliva and looked straight at ye yi yu. Every word was extremely difficult, "That night five years ago, I thought it was bai zixuan, but that night of another man... Did that have anything to do with you? Do you know... Who... Is that man?"
The person who changed her life, she should know who.
"Oh, you asked that person?"
Ye yiyu's expression became serious, as if she was really thinking back.
But just as ye zhiqiao was full of expectation, the next moment, ye yiyu suddenly burst out laughing.
"Ha... Ha ha ha... Ha ha ha ha..."
Ye yiyu pointed at her from time to time, laughing as if she was looking at a fool, "Look at you. I thought I was really thinking for you! Hahaha..."
