C2993 Do You Think……
The huge office returned to silence. The clock hanging on the wall made a ticking sound, disturbing Gu Tingshen's thoughts.
He leaned against the back of the chair and covered his eyes with his right hand, hiding his rare exhaustion.
Gu Changqing's appearance today was within his expectations, but the only thing he cared about was Gu Changqing's words.
In order to not disappoint his mother?
Gu Tingshen's lips curled up coldly, his eyes filled with coldness.
His impression of his mother was that of his childhood. He remembered that Aunt Liu had once said... His mother was a gentle and beautiful woman, but after giving birth to him, she slowly developed postpartum depression. In the end, she left him forever.
At that time, he was still swaddling in his swaddling clothes when his mother passed away.
He couldn't help but think, if she was still alive... Then he...
Gu Tingshen sneered. Since when did he learn how to be 'if'?
...
Huo Niannian had done something big today. If everything went well, then she would definitely win the bet with Du Ruoqing.
Huo Niannian returned home in high spirits. She originally wanted to tell this good news to Gu Tingshen as soon as possible.
However, the moment she entered the room and saw the man standing by the window, her heart fiercely skipped a beat.
He was now in front of the window. There was no light in the room. The night had devoured his body. His body was filled with loneliness and heaviness.
She had never seen such a low and deep Gu Tingshen... Huo Niannian's heart sank. Her intuition told her that something big must have happened today.
She put down her bag and walked quietly to Gu Tingshen's side. "Gu Tingshen, what happened to you?"
He did not speak and continued to look into the distance.
Huo Niannian only saw that there was a cigarette between his fingers. It was not lit and was quietly held between his fingers.
She remembered that she had told him before that she did not like the smell of cigarettes and from then on, he had started to quit smoking.
Huo Niannian could not tell what kind of feeling she had in her heart. She was moved and sour at the same time.
She went to the opposite side of him and hugged Gu Tingshen's neck with both hands. She pressed down and forced him to look at her.
This glance made Huo Niannian's heart ache.
His eyes were empty, blank, and there was a faint trace of grief in them.
Gu Tingshen looked at the woman in front of him and his lips moved. "Niannian."
"Yes, I am here." Huo Niannian hugged him tightly. She did not know what happened today to make Gu Tingshen's emotions fluctuate intensely. She could only do her best to calm Gu Tingshen down.
A faint rose fragrance entered Gu Tingshen's heart and called back his consciousness. The cigarette fell from between his fingers. He hugged Huo Niannian like a person who was about to fall off a cliff, holding onto the last straw of hope.
After a long time, his eyes gradually became clear. His chin lightly touched Huo Niannian's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Today Gu Changqing came to find me and said a lot of things. I only felt that it was funny."
After saying that, Gu Tingshen sneered, and the coldness in his deep eyes burst out. "He said he did not want to disappoint my mother? Ah, but not only did he marry Yin Jie, that woman. He said he didn't want to disappoint my mother. This was what he did not want to disappoint? How ridiculous! "
Huo Niannian quietly listened and her heart slowly became heavy.
She had been with Gu Tingshen for so many years, and she did not know much about Gu Madam's matter. But she had heard from Aunt Liu that Yin Jie often came to Old Mansion to visit when Madam was sick. She took care of Madam. Gu Changqing, on the other hand, was wholeheartedly devoted to the company's business and did not care about Madam's health at all.
Later, Gu Changqing married Yin Jie because of Yin Jie taking care of Madam.2
Aunt Liu did not tell Gu Tingshen about these things because she was afraid of making Gu Tingshen sad.
Thinking of this, Huo Niannian's eyes flashed. She suddenly had a bold idea.
Could the death of Gu Tingshen's mother be related to Yin Jie?
When this idea popped up, Huo Niannian could not help but shiver. If it was true, then Yin Jie's crime could not be forgiven.
"Gu Tingshen..." Huo Niannian pursed her lips. She did not know if she should tell Gu Tingshen her guess. After all, she did not have any evidence to prove it.
Hearing that, Gu Tingshen lowered his head and saw Huo Niannian's hesitant look.
He said faintly, "It's fine. Just say what you want to say."
Huo Niannian gritted her teeth and made up her mind. She said what she wanted to say." Hmm? What I am going to say next is only my personal guess. Aunt Liu once said that Yin Jie was the one who took care of mother when she was sick. Have you ever thought about it? According to Yin Jie's character and means, would she really take care of mother?"
After saying this, Huo Niannian looked at Gu Tingshen anxiously.
This matter was related to Gu Tingshen's mother after all. She was worried that Gu Tingshen would blame her for making wild guesses.
