Chapter 17 chapter Five

a month later. Si Wang became the spokesperson of Erya Education Group.The principal lied to him that he wanted to do a promotional photo for Changshou Road No. 1 Primary School, and invited him to a studio to take a group of photos, and finally said it was a commercial advertisement.Gu Qiusha's assistant found Si Wang's mother, who was also the only legal guardian of the child, and paid 100,000 yuan in cash on the spot before signing the endorsement contract. Gu Qiusha invited the boy to her home for dinner. Wearing the new clothes provided by the sponsor of children's clothing, he stepped into the gate of Gu's house for the first time and looked at the living room where he could play basketball. cute.She took Si Wang's hand and sat at the dinner table to introduce family members.

"This is my father, who is also the chairman of Erya Education Group. He used to be the president of the university, Professor Gu Changlong." Gu Changlong, in his sixties, with dyed jet-black hair, said kindly, "Oh, Si Wang, I've heard of you for a long time. You really are a child prodigy. You look different from other kids in temperament. Thank you. You speak for us." "Professor Gu, thank you for giving me the opportunity, I wish you good health and appetite." Gu Qiusha was very satisfied with the boy's answer, and then introduced the man across the table: "This is my husband, the executive director of Erya Education Group, Mr. Lu Zhongyue."

Lu Zhongyue's expression was very unnatural, he nodded in embarrassment without saying a word. "Hello, Mr. Lu." Si Wang greeted him politely as usual, Gu Qiusha saw that her husband was silent, so she could only add: "My husband is usually not very talkative, but he used to be an engineer. If you have any questions about mathematics, physics and chemistry, feel free to ask him." "Okay, science and engineering is my weakness, please give me more advice in the future!" "Then let's drink first!" Gu Qiusha held up the glass of rippling red wine, and the Filipino maid had brought a table of sumptuous dishes, which she specially invited the hotel chef to cook at home.

Boy toasts hostess with juice.The atmosphere during the banquet was quite harmonious. Gu Qiusha and her father asked Si Wang questions one after another. Nothing could trouble the child, no matter astronomy, geography, history and philosophy, he could tell them eloquently.Even Lu Zhongyue asked a military question. Regarding the German tanks in World War II, I didn't expect Si Wang to be so precious. Finally, Gu Changlong asked about the current economic situation. The third-grade student replied: "In the next three years, the global economy will remain relatively prosperous. China's housing prices will at least double or triple. If you want to preserve your value in cash, you can Buy a house. If you want to invest in the securities market, it is recommended to buy some funds next year.”

"If you have a son like this, what more can you ask for?" The old man let out a long sigh, and looked at Lu Zhongyue across the dining table, making him bow his head with a pale face. After dinner, the boy didn't miss it too much: "Miss Gu, I'm going home, I'll tell my mother about the time." "What a nice boy." The more Gu Qiusha looked at it, the more comfortable she felt, she couldn't help but kissed the boy on the cheek, and asked the driver to take him home. Seeing Si Wang get into the BMW and go away, she touched her lips subconsciously. It was the first time she kissed him just now, but there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

The huge villa was deserted and lonely, and the father went back to the room early to sleep—he was forced to come to this dinner by his daughter. As for the husband Lu Zhongyue was even more so. Feeling lost, she went back to the second floor. She met Lu Zhongyue in the corridor, and he said coldly, "Today, that police officer named Huang Hai came to ask me about He Nian's death." "What are you doing?" "Because of that person." She knew who the person in Lu Zhongyue's mouth was: "Yes, you are that person's high school classmate, He Nian is his college classmate, and you are my husband. He Nian worked in our group before he was killed, and it is me again." His body was found."

"Therefore, I became a suspect." "You'll be fine, don't worry." Just as she was about to leave, she grabbed the man's arm and said, "Why are you so indifferent to the child today?" "Is your child?" "Just treat it as my child." Lu Zhongyue shook his head: "This is your right, but it has nothing to do with me." He struggled to break free from his wife's hand, and went into the study to play "World of Warcraft" by night. Gu Qiusha returned to the bedroom, there was no trace of manly smell in the room, she lay on the spacious big bed, touching her lips and neck.

Lu Zhongyue hadn't slept on this bed for three years. Their first acquaintance was in March 1995, at the engagement ceremony between Shen Ming and Gu Qiusha.At that time, Lu Zhongyue was sitting at Shen Ming's classmate's desk, already drunk.Shen Ming dragged Gu Qiusha over to toast his best friend.But Lu Zhongyue couldn't hold on, and vomited heavily on the spot. Gu Changlong therefore noticed Lu Zhongyue.It turned out that he and Lu Zhongyue's father were comrades-in-arms. Later, he went to the Education Bureau, and Lao Lu went to the district government and became a powerful director. The two maintained a good relationship.Back then, Gu Changlong often visited Lu's house, and he still had some impressions of Lu Zhongyue.

Lu Zhongyue University studied science. After graduation, he was assigned to work in a steel factory on Nanming Road, which is very close to his alma mater, Nanming High School.He is the youngest engineer in the factory, but the factory is in a state of semi-stop production, and he usually has a lot of free time. He often goes to the nearest Shen Ming to watch football or drink. Shen Ming doesn't have many friends, every time he wants to attract people at a party, he always thinks of Lu Zhongyue, so he got acquainted with Gu Qiusha like this.When they were decorating their wedding room, Lu Zhongyue came to help every other day, which made Shen Ming very embarrassed.

In June 1995, it was Lu Zhongyue who first told her about Shen Ming's accident. In order to avoid Shenming, Gu Qiusha's family took a special trip to Yunnan. When they returned home, they found Lu Zhongyue waiting at the door with red and swollen eyes and said, "Shenming is dead!" Lu Zhongyue explained it in detail, including that the police found the body of Yan Yan, the teaching director, in the wilderness beside the road in Nanming, and confirmed that Shen Ming killed Yan Yan, because the murder weapon was inserted into the body of the deceased, and the handle of the knife was covered with Shen Ming's bloody fingerprints. .He fled to the abandoned underground warehouse of the steel factory, but was stabbed to death from behind.

Finally, with tears streaming down her face, Gu Qiusha lay weakly on Lu Zhongyue's shoulder until his shirt was completely wet. She is very guilty. What if, at that time, he could be saved?What if, his father didn't insist on expulsing him from public office and party membership?What if she cared a little bit about her desperate fiancé, even if she went to see him in the detention center? But she didn't do anything, and all that was left to Shen Ming was disappointment and despair. Gu Qiusha had originally envisioned Shenming's future, and she would be devastated and lose everything she had gained through more than ten years of hard work, but she never thought that he would choose this tragic path of murder, let alone that someone would kill him from behind.What kind of person is it?What kind of hate? Shen Ming killed the teaching director for revenge, so he probably also has strong resentment towards Gu Qiusha and her father. Maybe the dean is just the first target of the vendetta, and the next one is... She went from guilt to fear again. Gu Qiusha was seriously ill, and after recovering, she took the initiative to find Lu Zhongyue to confess.And he is quite understanding. Although he misses his best friend, he said that people cannot be resurrected after death, and everyone should drink to the past.Lu Zhongyue also admitted that he was unsatisfactory. Compared with the statement of his hard work and excellent grades, he will always be the last seat, and his college entrance examination results are also mediocre. After graduating from university, he has to rely on his father from the district government to help him find a job.He is a man with high ambitions, and he will not be reconciled to being an engineer in a steel factory. One day in midsummer, she asked Lu Zhongyue to have a heart-to-heart talk at the bar, and the two of them drank beer, red wine, and whiskey until they were completely drunk.When Gu Qiusha woke up, she was already in the hotel room. Lu Zhongyue sat in front of her in shame, regretting being impulsive, how could he touch the woman of his dead brother?Instead of blaming Lu Zhongyue, she hugged him and said, "Please don't mention that person again!" In the second year, Gu Qiusha married Lu Zhongyue. Gu Changlong readily agreed to his daughter's marriage. After all, he and Lu Zhongyue's family are considered family friends. Besides, after the last blow, his daughter urgently needs to get out of the shadows. Finding a suitable man to marry is probably the best way. However, Gu Qiusha did not tell Lu Zhongyue her secret. She is no longer that innocent girl, after all Lu Zhongyue and Shen Ming are two different kinds of people, if he is told that his wife cannot conceive and have children, he may not be as steadfast as he said. Let's talk about marriage first. In the fourth year of marriage, when Lu Zhongyue was puzzled by his wife's lack of happiness and insisted on going to the hospital for an examination, Gu Qiusha truthfully revealed the secret. Lu Zhongyue made a big fuss at home, but nothing came of it.Just two years ago, his father was dismissed by the district government for investigation due to a corruption case.If Gu Changlong hadn't greeted the leaders above for the sake of his in-laws, he might have been sentenced to ten or eight years in prison.Nanming Iron and Steel Works also closed down, and Lu Zhongyue became a laid-off worker. This year coincided with the establishment of Erya Education Group, and Gu Changlong appointed his son-in-law as the administrative director. Gu Qiusha and Lu Zhongyue are strangers, but they pretend to be in love outside.Lu Zhongyue is still respectful to his father-in-law, and he is usually considered diligent in his work, but he is not welcome to see him, and he is called soft food in private. In the dead of night, when she was alone and sleepless, she would miss Shen Ming.
