Chapter 257
When the private detective told Homanshu the results of the investigation, she thought he was joking.
"You mean, it was my husband who reported my father for embezzlement and misappropriation of public funds." Huo Manshu felt ridiculous, smiled, and suddenly shed tears, "How is this possible?"
The private detective assured that what he said was true, but Homanshu gave him too little time, and they had not yet investigated the specific reasons why Qu Lian did this.
However, no matter why Qu Lian did this, Huo Manshu felt that she couldn't accept it. This was too terrible. Her pillow person was going to tear apart her home.
It was Homanshu's decision to file for divorce on her wedding anniversary after careful consideration. As she said, she didn't want to hate each other, but she couldn't accept being together again, and they would end where they started, with a beginning and an end. In the dim room, Homanshu hid behind the door, breathing softly, tiptoeing, and listening with her ears to the footsteps getting closer and closer outside.
The sound of the key being inserted into the keyhole seemed to be amplified and reached her ears clearly. She counted down the time in her heart. When the door was suddenly opened, she turned on the light at hand with a "snap". He jumped out and hung on Qu Lian's body.
"surprise!"
Huo Manshu yelled, hugged Qu Lian tightly, and turned her head to see Qu Lian's reaction.
Qu Lian, who was still frowning, had already put his hands around Huo Manshu's waist before he could react. His face was full of disbelief and unconcealed surprise. He tilted his head and looked at Huo Manshu for two seconds. His face relaxed a little, and then he scolded him with an angry face: "How old are you? What should I do if I get hurt?"
He gently placed Huo Manshu in his arms on the ground, Qu Lian put his suit jacket aside, and when he bent down to put his shoes, he asked Huo Manshu: "Are you hungry? I'll cook for you right away."
< br>
Huo Manshu didn't answer, she just lowered her head and kicked her shoes, her eyes flickering, not knowing what she was thinking.
Qu Lian took it for granted and didn't ask any questions. He touched Huo Manshu's head and passed her towards the living room. However, after seeing the changes in the living room clearly, Qu Lian was stunned.
While Qu was stunned, Homanshu quietly hugged his waist from behind, put her head on his back, and said in a muffled voice: "Today is our wedding anniversary." Homanshu's head poked out from behind , raised her finger and pointed to a table of dishes in the living room: "I made them all." After thinking about it, she added: "It's all what you like to eat."
Qu Lian looked at Huo Manshu with a gentle smile, then at the table full of dishes, and then thought about how affectionate Huo Manshu was to him when he first entered the door. Qu Lian could not suppress the excitement in his heart, and his hand on his side was filled with excitement. Trembling slightly, she turned around and held Huo Manshu's shoulders, her eyes filled with hope, "Honey, are we reconciled?"
Huo Manshu did not answer directly, but looked at Qu Lian and showed a nice smile, "Eat, I'm hungry."
Bright candlelight, expensive champagne, tender and juicy steak, and piano music slowly flowing in the space
Hao Manshu was sitting at the table, a little distracted, looking intently at Qu Lian, who had cut the steak and carefully handed it to her. The light shone on his face, which softened his usually angular face. This familiar scene The scene made her feel like she was back in her first love. This peaceful appearance almost made Huo Manshu forget that the two had been in a cold war for almost two months.
Perhaps because of Huo Manshu's initiative to get intimate, Qu Lian, who had never talked much, took the initiative to tell some interesting stories to Huo Manshu for the first time. His careful and flattering look made Huo Manshu almost cry.
After a harmonious dinner, Huo Manshu stopped Qu Lian who was about to clean up the dishes. She took out a divorce agreement from a document bag beside her and pushed it in front of the confused Qu Lian: "Qu Lian, Let’s get a divorce.”
Qu Lian, who had been as gentle as water all night, had a gloomy face for the first time. He didn't even look at the agreement and said harshly, "Huo Manshu, I don't agree!" Qu Lian emphasized his tone: "I said we No divorce!”
He seemed to understand something, and his tone was a bit sarcastic: "So what you did today was just to get me to agree to a divorce?"
Huo Manshu had already anticipated Qu Lian's reaction, and she felt endless sadness in her heart when she heard his words: "Qu Lian, you know what you have done. Qu Lian, I love you, so I don't want to hate you. You, divorce is the best choice for us, just think that I don’t understand people well.”
Huo Manshu was completely sober when she said these words. How could this be her?
She wouldn't say such poor things.
Although there are still messages trying to tamper with her memory, it is impossible for Huo Manshu to get involved in the drama now that she is awake.
Helplessly, the screen suddenly froze, and the music in front of her also froze. Just when Huo Manshu thought she was going to return to her previous position, a line of small words suddenly appeared in front of her: "Please continue the performance without the protagonist noticing." , find a perfect way to escape.”
Huo Manshu asked: "What if we don't find a way? Or what if he discovers my difference?" Huo Manshu looked at the dummy that looked like Qu Lian frozen in front of her, and silently complained to herself in her heart. He looks like this Fake, why did she wake up now?
Huo Manshu has now felt the difficulty of this game map. This is asking her to act. She is really not good at it, especially now that she has been separated from the play. The most important thing is that Huo Manshu feels that she may not be able to face it after she goes out. The antiphons are connected.
At any rate, she had such a memory of living in confusion with a person named him.
But since this was a task, Huo Manshu couldn't refuse even if she wanted to, so she finally chose to accept it.
After Huo Manshu chose to accept it, the scene started to move again.
Information continued to enter Homanshu's mind to brainwash her, but Homanshu did not refuse them all, because she still had to know some of the plot and numb herself so that she could act more realistically.
The dishes in Qulian's hands fell to the ground with a bang. Huo Manshu's words shocked his heart, and Huo Manshu knew it! His face was full of panic, as if he was about to lose the whole world. At this time, there was only one thought left in his mind. This time, he was really going to lose Huo Manshu.
Regardless of whether Qu Lian agreed to the divorce, Huo Manshu decided to move away.
The plot is like this, and Huo Manshu agrees very much. It is also good for her to separate first.
On the day she was packing her things, she accidentally found a wallet that Qu Lian had used before getting married. Huo Manshu was deeply impressed by that wallet because Qu Lian always treasured it and wouldn't even let her touch it. She originally thought the wallet was lost. , I didn’t expect to clean it up again under such circumstances. Without thinking much, she opened it and took a look, but when she saw a photo inside, her heart felt as cold as falling into an ice cellar.
Probably, Homanshu hadn't actually felt as cold as falling into an ice cellar.
Huo Manshu also had that photo, which was of the two boys who had an illegitimate child dispute in Huo Manshu's heart!
Qu Lian entered the room at some unknown time and snatched the photo from Huo Manshu's hand with a stern voice: "Who told you to touch it!"
Huo Manshu was startled. Qu Lian had never looked at her like an enemy.
Huo Manshu was in a bit of a drama, so she was so cruel that she simply acted as an ostrich and pushed the plot forward on her own.
"Why do you have this photo?" Huo Manshu took two steps back, looked at the photo, and then at Qu Lian. She seemed to understand the reason why she was familiar with the little boy in the photo. Her voice was trembling: "In the photo The little boy is you?”
Huo Manshu was a little dizzy. Qu Lian opened and closed his mouth and said something in front of her, but she couldn't hear anything. It was as if some memory had awakened in her head. Qu Lian's face was the same as the one in her memory that was panicked and desperate. The face of the little boy who was shouting for help overlapped. Homanshu screamed in pain, her vision went dark, and she lost consciousness.
Huo Manshu remembered everything. When she was eight years old, a major accident happened. Because of her playfulness, she accidentally pushed the flower pot on the balcony. Unfortunately, it hit a big boy who was passing underneath. The big boy was accompanied by a little boy who was about the same age as her. Perhaps because she was too scared, she had forgotten the big boy's head covered in blood. She only remembered the little boy hugging his brother and crying heartbreakingly. .
Huo Manshu didn't know what happened to the brothers she hit in the end, because she was too scared and fell seriously ill. After recovering from the illness, she selectively deleted the incident from her mind.
Huo Manshu was really ashamed and didn't want to regain consciousness, but the plot was too ridiculous.
Fortunately, she fainted in the next scene.
When she woke up and looked at the haggard Qu Lian beside her, Homanshu choked up and apologized: "I'm sorry, Qu Lian." This apology was almost twenty years late.
Qu Lian didn't speak, and was a little emotional: "You killed a life! You ruined my family." As he spoke, Qu Lian's voice choked up: "If there had been money for treatment at that time, my brother would not have died, and my parents would have died." Nor will I be devastated and die because of my brother’s sudden death.”
Huo Manshu appeared in the drama again. The plot was really ridiculous. She couldn't act anymore. Moreover, Qu Lian's reaction really made her jump out of the scene. Although the usual Qu Lian was a bit exaggerated, it didn't matter. Exaggerated to this point.
Huo Manshu closed her eyes, she still had to act, now let the game play by itself.
The monitoring equipment at that time was not perfect, and there was no evidence to prove that it was Homanshu who did it. The high medical expenses forced the whole family to collapse. It was Qu Lian who was unwilling to give up and took the broken flowerpot and asked every house in the building. , begged, and found the Homanshu family.
But at that time, the Homanshu family had already moved abroad overnight because of this incident. Since their daughter had forgotten about it, they did not want her to think about it in pain again. They also had selfish motives. There was no evidence anyway, and they did not want their children to suffer. Live with a shadow all your life.
Because of their selfishness, Qu Lian became an orphan. He originally thought that the family would feel a little guilty, but when he met the innocent Huo Manshu by chance when he became an adult, he suddenly felt uncomfortable. Why did these people still think so? To be able to live so freely and freely after doing something wrong.
The first meeting in Huo Manshu's memory was just the first step of his careful planning. He learned that Huo Manshu's mother died young and her father did not have so much time to accompany her. For a long-term lack of companionship, as long as there is a little right person, She will be reluctant to let go of people who are good to her.
But what was a little unexpected was that he didn't expect that he would fall in love with Huo Manshu during the process of getting along with her. When he became aware of his little thoughts, Qu Lian wanted to cut off contact with Huo Manshu.
He deliberately took her to a restaurant where gangsters often stayed, deliberately making her scared, but he didn't expect that he would end up risking his life for Ho Man Shu.
Homanshu's father recognized him the first time he saw him. He wanted to use Homanshu's father's obstruction to end it, but in the end he was defeated by Homanshu's tears. He went to see Homanshu's father and said: The threat of that incident successfully made Homanshu's father change his mind.
Although there were various accidents along the way, the final result was that Qu Lian married Ho Man Shu as planned, but Qu Lian was not happy. Whenever he wanted to live happily with Ho Man Shu, he would have a feeling Guilt.
Later, he thought that if Homanshu became a loner like him, his guilt would be alleviated. He went out early and came back late, looking for a suitable partner, spending time with Smiley every day, but in the end he didn't want the female partner to cross the line and harass her. Ho Man Shu.
"Can't you let my dad go? He is old and he should enjoy his old age." After understanding everything, Huo Manshu naturally thought of her father's affairs first. She begged Qu Lian: "I understand you have resentment. I did it, they just wanted to protect me.”
At this time, Huo Manshu couldn't tell whether Qu Lian really loved her or was pretending to love her. Except for the first time he confessed that he liked her, he never seemed to say he loved her.
After a pause, Huo Manshu said humbly: "Qu Lian, have you truly loved me?"
"Never." Qu Lian lied with a stiff expression. Everything was revealed. He was no longer qualified to be with Huo Manshu. "I will sign the divorce agreement, but there is no way for me to let go of your father, Huo Manshu, he It’s to atone for your sins.”
Huo Manshu whispered that she knew it, and turned to look at the sky outside without saying a word. Qulian saw a tear falling from the corner of her eye and falling into the pillow.
Qu Lian didn't expect that that time would be the last meeting between the two of them. When he finally softened his heart and was about to let Huo's father go, he heard that Huo Manshu jumped from the hospital building. His head buzzed, and the world was gone again. There is no sound.
Ho Manshu's suicide note on the hospital desk trembled slightly with the wind. There was only a short line of words on it, but it expressed the owner's sorrow: "I once thanked God for your tenderness towards me."
Huo Manshu felt that she had found the best ending.
