Chapter 14 Chapter two

The first time Gu Qiusha met Shenming was in the late autumn of 1993. There was one thing she never told Shenming—that day was the day she broke up with her ex-boyfriend. That man was her college classmate. He was tall and handsome and had a prominent family background. He started talking about marriage right after he graduated from college.However, Gu Qiusha has a secret that she keeps buried in her heart and dare not say it, but sooner or later the other party will know about it—unless she never gets married. "There is one thing I have never dared to say, I hope you don't dislike me because of it——In my sophomore year in high school, I went to the hospital with a stomachache. It is useless to say that no matter how much treatment is done, it is impossible to have a child. But I am still a normal woman, and this will not affect the couple's life, besides, I can go for adoption in the future."

Before he finished speaking, the other party's face darkened, and he directly proposed to break up.There are many girls who want to marry him, and there is no shortage of well-known ladies, why marry a woman who is not fertile?As for the idea of ​​adopting a child, it's just a dream. Gu Qiusha's first love affair ended here. She grabbed her boyfriend's shoulder and cried loudly, and finally watched his back as he walked away. That afternoon, she took the bus home in a daze, and her wallet was stolen because of it. It happened that Shenming came forward and he was slightly injured.When she looked at this man gratefully, seeing his almost clear eyes, young and clean face, and the shyness and hesitation in speaking, it was like taking the wrong medicine for an instant, and she fell in love with him uncontrollably.

Shen Ming is a Chinese teacher at the famous Nanming High School and a talented student who graduated from Peking University.She often went to him as a textbook editor of the publishing house to discuss some minor mistakes in Chinese textbooks.He had never heard him mention his parents, and he lived in the school dormitory all year round, which also caused Gu Qiusha's confusion.Just as she was about to ask someone to inquire in private, Shen Ming took the initiative to tell the tragic life experience - when he was seven years old, his father poisoned his mother to death, and was subsequently sentenced to death.He was brought up by his grandmother, and his family has no house, and he has lived on campus since high school.

Gu Qiusha understood that with his education and quality, he could only be a high school Chinese teacher because of his humble background.Her father is a former leader of the Education Bureau and the current university president. The family backgrounds of the two parties are very different. So, before letting Shen Ming know the identity of her future father-in-law, she first revealed the secret of her body... "Although, I have always looked forward to marrying the woman I like and having a lovely child. But, is marriage just to have children? If I really want to marry her, I should tolerate all her flaws—— What's more, not being able to have children is just a physical problem. Is it related to a person's moral character and accomplishment? Just like some people are taller and some are shorter. Isn't it all predestined by God? At worst, go to the orphanage to adopt a child and come back !"

In the last sentence, Shen Ming expressed the thought that she held back in her heart and dared not say it. The next day, Gu Qiusha took her boyfriend home resolutely, and Shen Ming found out that her girlfriend's father was actually Principal Gu who was often mentioned in newspapers.His father had an unexpectedly good impression of him, and the two chatted happily, especially when it came to education reform, Shen Ming's bold ideas were approved. It was the spring of 1994. In the summer vacation not long after, my father seconded Shen Ming from Nanming High School to work as a temporary secretary for three months.During this period, something happened, which made him pay more attention to this future son-in-law.

In the second year, Gu Qiusha and Shen Ming held a grand engagement ceremony.Under the instruction of his father, the leaders of the Municipal Education Bureau approached Shen Ming for a conversation, and quickly issued a document to transfer him from Nanming High School to the Youth League Committee of the Education Bureau.His future has been pre-determined. Two years later, he will become the secretary of the Youth League Committee of the city's education system. This is the fastest way for a person to make a fortune. In the last few days of May in 1995, she found that Shen Ming was frowning, and he always felt absent-minded during the process of checking and accepting the decoration of the new house.Gu Qiusha asked him what happened?But he forced a smile and said, maybe it's just that the college entrance examination is approaching and the pressure is too great.

She went to Nanming Senior Middle School to inquire about it, only to hear that Shen Ming had a teacher-student relationship with a senior high school girl, and some people rumored that he was an illegitimate child—I couldn't believe such a thing would happen, she was about to marry this man, and she had long since left After the engagement banquet, and even sending out the wedding invitation, how should I face it?The college entrance examination is getting closer, and with the declaration of the graduating class, she has to make up lessons for the students almost every night, and she can't even accompany her fiancee on weekends, which makes Gu Qiusha even more worried.

The last time they met was on the night of June 3, when they came out of the newly renovated house and went to the cinema to watch Arnold Schwarzenegger's movie. After watching the movie, Gu Qiusha asked him: "What lie did you tell me?" Shen Ming looked into his fiancée's eyes and was silent for a long time before saying, "Someone is going to kill me." He admitted that he was indeed an illegitimate child, and that the man who was killed by his mother when he was seven years old was actually just a stepfather.When he was ten years old, he changed his surname in the household registration book to Shen, which was his biological father's surname.Since he was born, he has been burdened with shame and original sin, which he can only hide from his fiancée and father-in-law.

As for having an affair with a female student, Shen Ming categorically denies it and swears to God. On the surface, Gu Qiusha believed what he said, but she couldn't sleep all night when she came home—feeling unfair in her heart, she treated this man honestly, treated him wholeheartedly, and told a secret that no one could know... ...but Shenming lied to her, concealing the truth about his illegitimate child, and didn't tell it until Nanming Middle School spread the word. Can it be regarded as an honest confession? That being the case, he said that he and the female student are innocent, must it be the truth?

"Don't trust anyone, not even the person you love the most." This is a sentence that the father whispered in his ear before their engagement ceremony, which can be regarded as the last advice to his daughter before she gets married. In less than three months, it's actually a prophecy? That night, Gu Qiusha almost tore the sheets. Two days later, Shenming's high school classmate Lu Zhongyue found her and told her that her fiancé had an accident at school. A senior high school girl named Liu Man died and was said to have been murdered with poison.Shen’s situation is very dangerous. Someone saw him alone with this girl last night. The Public Security Bureau is applying for a search warrant. Can you use Principal Gu’s relationship to help?

Gu Qiusha knocked over the teacup on the spot and shed tears. Her first reaction was not to rescue her fiancé, but to keep imagining the most dangerous possibility—is he a murderer?He killed the female student who had an affair?Because I can't let this secret be known to me?Must be cleaned up before marriage? That night, she received a call from Shenming, but she indifferently refused to meet him, and did not remind him to check the room. Tossing and turning again, I kept recalling in my mind, from the first encounter between her and Shen Ming, to the first dinner, the first date, the first hug, the first kiss, the first time... Every detail is like a frame of a movie, just in front of his eyes, and his face is becoming more and more blurred-the nose becomes hooked, and the eyes are sometimes quiet and sometimes angry. does he really love me Is it because of my father that you are close to me?Does he have other women?That high school girl?Or someone else? and I?And why do you like him?The fate to get my wallet back for me?His courage in fighting the thief?Fighting like a man?His hidden talents?Insist on writing me poems every week for two years?The calm, calm and ambitious spirit that occasionally appeared in his eyes? Or - am I just looking for a husband who is willing to tolerate my flaws, give up my children for me, or adopt someone else's? do i really love him The next day, Gu Qiusha heard that Shen Ming was arrested overnight and taken to the Public Security Bureau, and the police found murderous poison in his dormitory. She was not in the mood to go to work, and her father also had an angry face when she got home.Principal Gu took out a letter and threw it to his daughter, but found that it was Shen Ming's handwriting. The recipient was He Nian, a classmate and friend of his at Peking University, who stayed in Beijing to work after graduation. In the letter, Shen Ming said that he was about to get married, so he would embark on an official career.What frightened Gu Qiusha was that Shen Ming said that when he met her for the first time, he deliberately followed her for a long time and investigated her family background in advance. It was only when he stared at her on the bus that day that he realized that a thief was touching her. Her wallet, otherwise how could he see so many people in the car?He quickly captured the heart of the principal's daughter, and then how to plot against the father and daughter of the Gu family, so that Principal Gu valued him as a talent and seconded him to be his secretary. Fortunately, Shen Ming did not reveal the secret of her inability to conceive and give birth in the letter. However, what made President Gu furious the most was that the end of the letter read: "As for my father-in-law, he is the real hypocrite. If I am a liar, then he is a liar among liars. Sooner or later, he will That despicable secret of my life will finally be revealed to the world." The father locked the letter in a safe and took care of his daughter repeatedly, and this matter must not be leaked. Six months ago, Shen Ming wrote the secret into the letter, as evidenced by the postmark date at that time.Recently, He Nian made a serious mistake in Beijing, and was sent back to the city's Education Bureau. By accident, he joined the Youth League Committee, only to find out that Shen Ming had been appointed as the next Secretary of the Youth League Committee—people are always jealous, especially college students .When he was assigned after graduation, he declared that he had no backer, so he could only be a high school Chinese teacher, but He Nian got a good job in Beijing, but now he was Shen Ming's subordinate, how could he swallow this breath? In fact, Gu Qiusha doubted the authenticity of this letter. The so-called "everyone pushes the wall down" is a sentence her father often said to her. At this point, it doesn't matter whether the letter is true or not, because the wall has collapsed and it will never be possible to build it up again. She changed the lock cylinder of the newly renovated wedding room, while her father left the hotel where the wedding banquet was held and took back all the wedding invitations. During the days when Shen Ming was held in the detention center, police officer Huang Hai came to Gu Qiusha twice to find out about him.And she also told the truth, including explaining the recent abnormal behavior. Finally, Police Officer Huang Hai asked, "Miss Gu, do you trust your fiancé?" "First of all, I don't trust anyone. Second, he's not my fiancé anymore." She answered unusually calmly, regardless of whether this would affect the police's judgment, Officer Huang Hai's face darkened, and he left without saying anything. Within a week, Gu Qiusha's father used various connections to force the Education Bureau to quickly make a decision to expel Ming Ming, who was still in prison, from the teaching staff and at the same time expel him from the party. On June 16, Lu Zhongyue visited Gu's house and told Gu Qiusha and her father that Shen Ming had been acquitted by the police and hoped to help him.This news made Principal Gu quite nervous, because once the double-opening decision is made, there is no possibility of taking it back or changing it.Shen Ming must have known about it, and maybe he would come looking for him tonight. Therefore, Principal Gu resigned from all official duties and set off overnight with his daughter. The driver took them to the airport and flew to Dali, Yunnan and Lijiang for a seven-day tour. On June 19, 1995, at ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Dang Gu Qiusha and her father enjoyed the moonlight between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, and she died underground amidst lightning and thunder. Who killed Shen Ming? In the past nine years, this question has always lingered in my heart. Even though I married someone else's wife long ago, I can't forget it after all. Suddenly, Gu Qiusha wanted to see that boy named Si Wang again.
