Chapter 271: Entangled to Death
He Zhihuai's love for Gu Miao is complicated.
Perhaps because of his personality, he doesn't like to be forced and is not good at taking the initiative.
He would feel sad when Gu Miao was distracted by other people.
No matter who the other party is.
He is far from being as open-minded as he imagined, and he has to admit that people all have bad qualities.
Human nature is inherently evil, and many things require self-control.
But even though he was sad, he was also happy for her.
In his mind, that's not a bad thing.
She deserves everyone to treat her well.
She deserves to be loved without reservation.
She had a sensitive temperament and was withdrawn and lacked love in her early days. She stumbled forward on her own, which made her worry about gains and losses. She had no sense of security and was constantly denying herself.
Now being watered by the surging love, her steps will become more and more determined.
He would indeed be happy for her when he saw her happy.
Gu Miao felt soft-hearted and kept playing with the wallpaper with her index finger.
He's always like this.
Even without meeting him, he can accurately guess her thoughts.
Even if she didn't ask.
He didn't want her to be too anxious about these trivial matters, so after noticing the signs, he immediately found the answer that the balance in her heart was tilting in, and then supported her decision.
"Okay, I get it."
Listening to her muffled voice, He Zhihuai lowered his eyes, with a smile overflowing from his eyes.
He knew she was awkward.
This is normal.
"Do you need me to go back? I have time now."
Hearing this, Gu Miao quickly refused, "No, no. I can do it myself. If I can't handle it... I'll call you again?"
"Okay." He Zhihuai smiled, "I am a light sleeper. Call me at any time and I will receive it as soon as possible."
As long as he wasn't at work, he would basically receive a call from Gu Miao immediately, even late at night when he was soundly asleep.
His cell phone ringtone is the system default, but he set a unique ringtone for Gu Miao's number.
The function is that he can press the finger to answer the call before his brain is fully awake, so as to prevent her from waiting too long.
In his opinion, Gu Miao's phone calls were no different from the urgent work calls in the past. They were both calls that could not be avoided.
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Miao took a long breath and hesitated before dialing the unsaved number.
The call is connected.
She didn't rush to speak.
Li Zongyu has a gentle voice. In addition to the sound of a middle-aged man who has experienced vicissitudes of life, his tone is very similar to He Zhihuai just now.
Probably due to an illusion, her tense emotions quickly relaxed.
"I don't know if it's inconvenient for you, but I would like to meet you now."
There is a cafe in the resort.
It's the place Li Zongyu made an appointment with.
Gu Miao looked for it according to the map, but there were no guests inside.
There are not many young people in the resort here, and due to the special time, no one comes to drink coffee.
Business here doesn't look very good either.
It's quiet and really suitable for chatting.
The clerk asked her what she wanted to drink.
Gu Miao ordered her order and sat down in the corner.
Li Zongyu arrived five minutes later.
"Sorry, I took a call on the way here and was delayed. Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Li Zongyu came alone.
Gu Miao came to her senses and shook her head, "I just arrived too. You're welcome. What would you like to drink?"
"I can do either." Li Zongyuan smiled, "Just follow the taste of you young people." It can be seen that he rarely drinks coffee. When we met at the observation deck that day, he was also drinking tea.
He should like Jiang Qingshi and like tea.
I chose this place probably because I saw that she doesn’t like drinking tea very much.
Otherwise, he should choose the closer observation deck instead of this unattended cafe.
The clerk put down the coffee and went back to the front desk to continue fishing.
Gu Miao picked up the coffee and tasted it while thinking about how to open the mouth.
The atmosphere was dull and made her feel embarrassed.
Fortunately, the embarrassment didn't last too long. Li Zongyu took the lead and said, "Isn't Qing Shi here?"
"Yeah. He went back to celebrate the New Year."
"That's it. I see you've been playing alone these past two days."
Gu Miao nodded, "When will you go back? Today is already the New Year."
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
"I can do it anytime." Li Zongyu explained: "If there are no accidents, I will probably stay in Beijing for the New Year this year."
Gu Miao raised her eyes and looked over, but didn't say anything for a long time.
Li Zongyu still looked gentle, "It doesn't matter, just say what you want to say, no one else is here."
"Mr. He's family passed away, did you know?"
"Know."
"Do you also know who did it?"
"Know."
He was still calm and his expression did not change.
After a pause, he explained: "Zongyuan is indeed a little impulsive. However, this is a private matter between them. I will not interfere, and you should not think too much about it."
The old gentleman wanted to attack Li Zongyuan from the beginning, but when he failed, he turned his target to her.
Gu Miao blinked, "But now, the Li family seems to be affected. You should know the old man's status in Hong Kong City better than I do. In this case... aren't you worried?"
"There will be some impact."
"For a group, any slight disturbance will affect the overall image, thereby affecting the stock price and the market. However, the Li family has been relatively wealthy in recent years, so it is not too embarrassing."
"At my age, I have experienced everything, and I can still face it calmly."
Take it easy.
Gu Miao: "What about Ms. Yu?"
"..."
Li Zongyu paused slightly and looked at her.
There was no change in his eyes, he was still full of smile.
It's probably a common trait of those in power, but even in this situation, they never show a cautious expression, nor do they want to please. There is a hint of coolness in the gentleness.
"Li Zongyuan told me about you."
"But those are all his words. I want to hear what you have to say."
After a long silence, Li Zongyu picked up the coffee and took a few sips.
When he put it down, he whispered: "I fell in love with her at first sight. To be precise, it was her paintings. After contacting her, I gradually fell in love with her."
"We hit it off immediately and decided to get married. In fact, everything was fine at the beginning."
"It's just that gradually, my parents had a lot of opinions about her. Coupled with the constraints of rules and regulations, her love for me gradually faded."
"At that stage, I was busy with work and was away from home for a long time, so I didn't take good care of her."
"What happened next is basically consistent with what Zongyuan told you."
"Do you hate her?"
Li Zongyu smiled and said, "How could that happen?"
"Then if you had it to do over again, would you let her go?"
Li Zongyu thought about this issue for a long time.
"You should talk well to gain a good impression in front of you."
"But I asked myself, I'm afraid it's impossible."
"Human life is limited. It is better to dwell on it until death than to spend it in vain."
"..." Gu Miao's eyes were stunned.
