Chapter 7 7

It was Guan Hongzi's turn to laugh. He said softly, "I fell in love with you when I saw you in Cornwall." The universe was at a loss, "When was that?" Guan Hongzi replied without thinking: "It's still cold and the air is humid. In the green garden, you are wearing a big satin skirt and playing table tennis with a little boy. He calls you Geshimu." Her skirt was flying, and she seemed to be flying to heaven by the wind. Guan Hongzi felt that he saw a living Angel. But at this time, the angel couldn't find this memory no matter what, she thought hard, "I played ping pong? A little boy?"

"Gesim means universe." "My father was exaggerating in giving me that name." "I wish I could have known him, but unfortunately he has passed away." Universe sighed, "I miss him terribly." "Universe, let me take care of you." "Your generosity to us mother and daughter is something I will be forever grateful for." Guan Hongzi replied: "That's what it should be, I will do my best." His ability is not great, he is just a small and medium-sized businessman in the city, but it is more than enough to take care of a weak girl.

At this time, the secretary asked him to go back to the company for a meeting, and he left in a hurry. Universe still can't remember, she doesn't know how to play ping-pong at all, the person Guan Hongzi saw may not be her. He may have misread the person. It's like Zhang Yuju misjudged the color of other people's shirts. In fact, it is Yishibai, where there is watercolor color. She covered her face with her hands. In the afternoon, the assistant came to her: "Mr. Guan asked me to accompany Ms. Zhang to buy some daily necessities." The universe said, "I can do this myself."

The assistant smiled apologetically, "That's what Mr. Guan ordered." She is also very difficult to do, the universe replied: "Let's go out for a walk." The assistant breathed a sigh of relief. The girl was about the same age as the universe, very elf, and took the universe to the most expensive clothing store. She couldn't put it down because of a coat, and the universe asked the clerk to wrap it up and give it to her as a surprise. The universe didn't buy anything. She thought she already had enough clothes. The feeling of having enough was amazing. It varied from person to person. Someone would buy 300 pairs of shoes and still feel that it wasn't enough.

They went to drink tea when they were tired from walking. Universe asked softly, "Is Guan Hongzi a good boss?" Because of the gift, the assistant coughed, "I am the assistant of Mr. Guan's assistant, I don't see him very often, even if he has a temper, he is also a person who does great things, how can he care about us children." "You speak well." "The cosmic agency has a streamlined and rigorous organization, which is why it survived the economic difficulties. In the most difficult times, employees were still paid on time, which shows that he is a capable boss."

The universe is silent. "We've never seen a woman come up to her (sic), uh, unless it's his sister." "Guan Lizi." "Reiko was cute and innocent, but I heard that her boyfriend ordered her to control her." It's a great value for a coat with so many materials. In the eyes of the little assistant, Universe saw envious eyes. If she could change her identity, she would buy the whole store, and then live on drinking afternoon tea every day. Universe took the pastries to visit his stepmother. She was playing cards with her friends, and the universe didn't want to disturb her, so she stood on the terrace and talked to the nurse.

"The medicine seems to be working." "Leave some dignity to the patient." "When did the doctor come?" "Come with Mr. Guan this morning." The nurse said softly, "Mr. Guan is so considerate, he gave you gems and jewelry." Even the nurse was a little envious. Universe didn't make a sound, walked into the stepmother's room, saw a jewelry box on the dressing table, she opened it, saw colorful crystals flashing randomly, and felt vulgar, she closed the box, put it in her handbag and left. She wanted to take it back to Guan Hongzi. Someone was waiting for her at the door.

"Miss Zhang Universe." The man took a step forward, "Sorry to bother you, I am Guan Hongzi's brother Quantum." The universe was very surprised, "What's the matter?" "I guess Hiroko might listen to you, so I take the liberty of interrupting." "Let's discuss it." "Lizi is in debt and needs to pay back, but Hiroko refuses." Universe is very frank, "I don't have any cash on hand." "I believe it. Come on, please follow me to see how Lizi is doing." The universe drives out of the new car. "Is this your car?"

"No, it's a cosmic agency car." Guan Quan got in the car and told her to drive to a middle-class residential area. Arriving at the destination, he hurriedly took her to take the elevator to a certain unit and rang the bell. No one answered the door, Guan Quan took out the key and opened the door. Seeing that the room was in a mess, someone fell under the table, Guan Quan hurried over to help him up. "Has he been here? Why did you open the door?" The corner of the mouth was bleeding, and the one with blue eyes and swollen eyes was Reiko. The universe was shocked, "Call the police, Mr. Guan."

Reiko struggled, "No, no." Guan Quan said, "Lizi, you can't tolerate him any longer." At this moment, Universe noticed that there was a large amount of blood on the floor, which was thick and smelly. Universe's hairs stood on end, and his trembling voice said, "I'll call an ambulance immediately." She went to lawyer Guo immediately. Lawyer Guo patiently listened to her hastily explaining the reason: "Universe, you have done a good job. Now, leave the scene immediately. The matter between the two of them has nothing to do with you. Guan Hongzi has made it very clear to them that he will not take any more money out."

"what!" "Universe, family matters have nothing to do with you." "Will you die?" "Universe, I'll pick you up." Cosmos dropped the phone angrily. The ambulance had arrived, and Lizi, who was bleeding uncontrollably, was carried onto a stretcher. At this time, Lizi was in shock, and the universe only felt that it was hurting the same kind, and shed tears. She kept asking, "Who did it?" Guan Quan replied, "Her husband." The universe trembled with fear. "He realized that she had no money, so he made a lot of sarcasm at first, and then he did it. Lizi said that he twisted her hair and pushed her towards the mirror, 'Look at you ugly bastard, no one will marry you if you don't have money.'" The universe closes its eyes. "Lizi is pregnant and can't walk. No matter what, Hongzi doesn't want to let go of helping her. I didn't expect that person to kick her in the waist today." The universe only sees the golden fly flying in front of the eyes. Guan Quanquan said: "The cosmic agency belongs to our three brothers and sisters, and Hongzi took our shares." The doctor came out and said, "relatives, please come and talk." Guan Quan stood up: "I am her elder brother." The doctor said, "Your adult is fine, but the fetus has been lost." Guan Quan wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a breath. Universe suddenly said: "You wait for me here, I will go out for a while." Cosmos opened the jewelry box, read the printed address, and drove to the banking district. She went into the store and spoke to the manager. "Cash refund?" "Yes, I don't like this style." "Ms. Zhang may discuss it with Mr. Guan." Universe smiled, "I know your rules, 50% discount, I took the cash and left, and you won't suffer, and neither of you broke the law." "How do we explain to Mr. Guan?" "You must have a way." In fact, the manager is used to dealing with this kind of transaction, and immediately writes a cash check and submits it to the universe to sign for it. The universe gets up and goes. Back at the hospital, she put the check into Guan Quan's hand. She was very angry, no matter what, Guan Hongzi shouldn't have forced his younger siblings to this point. At this time, lawyer Guo found her. "Universe, you don't know anything about family affairs, so don't get involved." "All I know is that Lizi looks like a beggar woman and almost died." "Is it because of Guan Hongzi? Guan Hongzi warned her time and again that that person is only for her money. Lizi shouldn't mislead the other person into thinking that she has unlimited gold mines." "Give her Reiko's share, and let her go from now on." "You're right, Lizi's share, she already got it." Big Universe was surprised, "You lied to me, where is the money?" "Three years to spend." "how is this possible?" Lawyer Guo suddenly laughed, "Universe, in just a few months, have you calculated your expenses?" Universe was stunned, she was at a loss for words. "Universe, follow me, it's not your fault, they shouldn't use you." Lawyer Guo took her away from the hospital. As soon as Universe closed his eyes, he saw Xiaoli covered in blood. Lawyer Guo always knew what she was thinking. She said softly, "It looks scary. But Lizi will recover and she can get pregnant again." "No woman deserves that treatment." "Lizi knew that man's character. We investigated him very clearly before marriage: he likes rich women, he doesn't do business, he likes to eat, drink, gamble, travel, luxury express, and the police have a record of him beating a woman. Later, the victim withdrew the complaint." The universe is silent. "These Xiaoli know everything, and she is still determined to go her own way." The universe heaves a sigh of relief. "Before that, they lived together as a brother and sister, and Lizi's friends came and went, and some furnishings disappeared from time to time. Once, the housekeeper saw Lizi's friend carrying a small and medium-sized furniture from the master's room out of the street, and finally called the police." "Why are none of Reiko's friends good people?" "Because good young people are busy with their studies and careers, how can they have time to mess around with others?" "Brothers and sisters after all." "I tried to persuade him in the same way, but he got really angry." The universe bowed its head. "I've already said too much, universe, everything you have won is hard to come by, you should cherish it." Lawyer Guo's advice has exceeded the scope of her work. "Universe, Guan Quan, please keep a distance from him." "A person who has such a bad relationship with his siblings is worthy of review." Guo Meizhen stopped talking. Cosmos came home tired but restless. She went to the terrace and saw someone getting out of the car and waving at her, heh, it was Chen Yingsheng, she hurriedly told him to go upstairs. Universe immediately went to open the gate and waited for him to appear. He was the only person she wanted to see these days. Chen Yingsheng ran up the stairs with a food basket in his hand. Universe smiled and asked, "Why don't you take the elevator?" "Practice Qi." He entered the house, went to the kitchen to put down the food and immediately put the champagne bottle in the refrigerator. He looked at the universe while making a cucumber sandwich, "Did something happen?" The universe can't help but laugh. I didn't expect the news to spread so fast. "Why do you have to deal with family matters?" "Will he treat others well if he treats his siblings as thieves?" "He was very nice to you." "Sooner or later, the hideous face will be revealed." Chen Yingsheng stood up, "Qunying shouldn't have sent me here. If I stay any longer, I will be killed. I have to leave." The universe opened its eyes. He sat down again, and it turned out that he was just joking, "Universe, it is inconvenient for others to express their opinions on matters between you." "I can give him back all the hospital expenses and rent of my stepmother." Chen Yingsheng opened the champagne bottle and poured out a faint rose-colored sparkling wine. In the eyes of the universe, the light red was exactly the same color as the shirt on his body. How much the universe wants to cry on his shoulder, or laugh, sigh, sigh, whatever, or do nothing, just enjoy his body temperature. He handed her the wine, "for health." The universe drank the wine. "Yingsheng, let us escape to another place." He asked softly, "City or town?" "The countryside, a place like Cornwall, where you grow grapes or lavender, sketch and recite poems." "Universe, I have no money." "Then make wine for others, milk cows, and work for a living." Chen Yingsheng smiled and said, "You're in your twenties, but you still look like a child." "Is matter everything?" "Is this a philosophical question, or is it a social question?" "Would you like to elope or not?" Chen Yingsheng nodded, "Leave everything behind, two train tickets, and go to eternity." "right!" "How do you wash and iron a shirt when it's dirty, and where do you rest when you're tired?" "There must be a way." "You and I live in a tree house in the forest like Tarzan, and our children grow up like apes, but this?" The universe is angry, and tears are shed. Chen Yingsheng gently embraced her in his arms. "If you love someone, you don't have so many worries." He replied softly: "I have crossed the line early in the morning. I shouldn't have come to see you alone at all. Qunying would blame me if she knew it. No, thank God she is not a jealous woman, but Boss Guan will react when she knows." The universe asked him, "Why are you here today?" "Talk to you, comfort you, listen to your voice, see your smile." "More." Chen Yingsheng sighed, "Perhaps, Guan Hongzi's unruly temper is what attracts him." "I thought he liked pretty faces." "There are so many good-looking women in the city, they are unwilling to be lonely, and they show off everywhere. No, no, Guan Hongzi is not a superficial person." The excitement that a glass of sparkling wine gave to the universe has been removed. She walked to the corner and stood against the wall, arms folded on her chest. Knowing that the date was over, Chen Yingsheng took his coat, "Goodbye, Universe." The universe nods. "Can I shake hands?" Universe shook his head. He sighed, opened the door and left. There was an echoing silence in the room. Half-truthfully, she begged him to take her away, and he refused her. He is incapable. He knew she was even more incompetent. Two people going out may not be without a future, the world is so big and beautiful, but he doesn't want to start from scratch. Universe was deeply saddened, and this momentary impulse further showed how much she wanted to leave the Guan family. Someone rang the doorbell, and Universe hurriedly threw the wine bottle and glass into the trash can. The visitor asked, "Is Miss Lucy Liu at home?" The universe replied, "There is no such person." You come early, or you come late, or you find the wrong place, the time and space are completely wrong, and you miss everything. Universe cleaned up the kitchen and fell on the bed. Now, she fell asleep. In a deep sleep, she saw Chen Yingsheng sitting beside her, and the train roared away, passing through the wilderness, the universe recognized that it was Tuskenny in Italy, and they finally walked out desperately. Chen Yingsheng held Universe's hand tightly, "Guan Hongzi fired me, I have to find another job", and Universe heard himself comforting him: "It doesn't matter, the world is so big, let's find another job." The scenery outside the train flew by, and Chen Yingsheng said: "Guan Hongzi blocked me, and the company outside doubted my personality and work ability." Universe looked at him, and found that Chen Yingsheng suddenly had a stubbled beard and was very haggard. His signature bright and beautiful shirt was already dirty and wrinkled. He picked up a magazine and threw it towards the universe, "It's all because of you that I'm exhausted. Originally, I had a lover and I had bad jobs. Now I have nothing. I'm a beggar. You have to support me." The universe yelled, "Please pick yourself up again." He glared at each other, his eyes spewing fire. At this time, only the roar of the train was heard, and the universe seemed to be in an ice cellar, and she shouted loudly. She woke up from a nightmare. The universe is in a cold sweat, heh, this is a prophecy that will come true by itself. She saw that they had a future, and the two of them were simply unable to cultivate those small amounts of love. The universe gasps. She showers and changes to see her stepmother. The nurse said to her, "Shh." The stepmother fell asleep, lying on her side, her eyes half-opened and half-closed, her mouth had medicine dregs, her face was already showing a skeleton, and her hands stretched out on the quilt were as thin as claws, but she looked happy, as if she was dreaming a sweet dream. Sure enough, she whispered in her sleep: "Go slowly, wait for me, wait for me." Who told her to wait for her? Was it her deceased husband? The stepmother could still ask him to wait for her. It was the universe's turn in the future, so I don't know who to call. It seems that no matter where he goes, Zhang Zhouyu has to go alone. She gently asked the nurse, "How is the situation?" "It's almost like this." Knowingly, the doctor has talked to her many times. "Is she in a good mood?" "She was very happy. She said that these days are the most carefree in her life. She really likes to eat a kind of candied fruit cake from Kyoto brought by Mr. Guan." "He still comes every day?" "Mr. Guan is really kind." Even if it's hypocrisy, it's good to be able to do that. It's a pity that he still couldn't impress Zhang Universe. Universe stays until the nurses are changed. Ms. Zhu sometimes wakes up, says a few words, and then falls asleep again. Just as Universe was about to leave, she opened her eyes and said, "Cosmos, the citizens will be tested tomorrow; the Germanic emperor and the European feudal system." Universe quickly replied: "Yes, yes, I have read them all by heart." "When and what month was the Great Constitution signed?" I didn't expect that she still remembered this until today, but she did try her best to help her stepdaughter with her studies back then. Universe's nose was sour, "Don't worry, I get 100 points in all subjects." "I didn't read the book well—" She closed her eyes and said no more. The universe took her hand and left for a while. The driver followed slowly, "Miss Zhang, Lawyer Guo is looking for you." The universe just had to get on board. Guo Meizhen met her in her private office, she smiled and said, "Universe, I have something to tell you." She put a square jewelry box on the mahogany desk. The universe recognizes boxes. Lawyer Guo said, "Let me redeem it." "Does Guan Hongzi know about this?" Guo Meizhen smiled, and she showed several photocopies of documents, "This is a cash check from the jewelry company, and you will hand it over to Guan Quan." Not bad at all. "Originally, you thought Guan Quan would be handed over to Lizi who was on the sick bed." Universe nodded. "The 700,000 cash check was deposited intact into an account belonging to a woman named Deng Yonghong." The universe opened its mouth wide. "Deng Yonghong is Guan Quan's current wife, Universe. The next day, the check was transferred to another account in San Francisco on the west coast of the United States for a one-year time deposit. We tried to contact Guan Quan, but to no avail." The universe opened its mouth wide and closed it again. "Universe, now you understand that you can't look at the surface when looking at people. You have fallen for the most common golden cicada's shelling trick in the world." "Reiko—" "Lizi is still in the hospital, but don't worry, Guan Hongzi will pick her up and leave the hospital tomorrow. My friend who is in charge of the criminal case solemnly warned her husband: go through the divorce procedures immediately, but if he disappears completely, it will naturally cost a stipend. This matter is over.” The throat of the universe is like a lump of coarse salt, which is miserable. Lawyer Guo said softly: "These people really disappoint us: they are always in our expectation." Cosmos lowered his head palely. "It's not your fault, you're too brave to help." The universe is silent. "As for Guan Quan, he fears his wife like a tiger, and he is willing to accept her instructions. They all know that you always have something on hand?"
