Chapter 20. Chairman Gu's Request

Chu Xing didn't want to leave Wucheng, but I kept urging him. He sent me home silently. I stood stubbornly at the door and didn't move. Seeing me like this, he sighed and asked, "Do you really want to rush me to leave?"

Now there are not many people around me, and Ji Nuan, the only one who can be intimate with me, is still in prison.

To be honest, I don't want him to leave.

But recently, people have been calling him frequently.

I clearly understand that he has many troubles and I don't want to delay his time any more.

What's more, I don't want him to face my separation from life and death.

I nodded and said, "Well, give me some time to be alone."

“Isn’t nine years alone enough?”

I was stunned. This year marks the ninth anniversary of my parents' death.

These nine years have been busy and dazed, and I have never done anything for myself.

The only time was the most wrong decision in my life.

If I could start over, I wouldn't choose to marry Gu Tingchen.

I frowned and said firmly: "Thank you for your care during this period."

Seeing that I had decided, Chu Xing agreed to leave later.

He sent me into the room to remove my makeup personally. He was a little clumsy but patient. His face removed had a shallow scar. Chu Xing felt even more sad when he saw it and asked in a trembling voice: "What's going on?"

I still remember that day, in order to protect Wen Ruyan, Gu Tingchen pushed me to the ground. That day, I told him clearly that I felt painful, but he didn't take me seriously.

Even afterwards, he never asked about the wound.

I laughed and said, "I fell accidentally."

"How can you fall like this?"

Chu Xing guessed that things were not simple, but when I saw that I didn’t want to say that he didn’t ask, I blinked and asked him worriedly, “Will the cancellation of cooperation with the Gu family have a great loss to the Chu family?”

I have been hiding in the business world. Chu Xing knew that it would be useless to hide me, so he honestly said: "Yes, but the Gu family will also be implicated, which is not a bad thing for me."

I lowered my eyes and said, "Brother Chu Xing, thank you."

"Sheng'er, you are the only daughter of the Shi family. You are born noble and have the greatest power in Wucheng. Now that you give up everything, you should naturally be protected by me. What kind of honor you were once will be in the future. I want to let Wucheng and let Gu Tingsheng know that someone will cherish it if he doesn't care."

Someone cherishes it...

Chu Xing made me a hot dinner and left. When he returned to S City, he called me to report his safety and told me carefully: "Call me if you have anything. It will take only two hours to fly from S City to Wucheng. No matter when or where, I will definitely appear in front of you within two hours. Sheng'er, don't take any matters by yourself."

I responded and said gratefully: "Thank you, my mother for giving me an older brother."

"Silly boy, you are everything to me."

I smiled and said, "My sister-in-law will be jealous when she hears it."

"No, she loves you as much as I do."

"Yeah, I'll hang up first."

After hanging up Chu Xing's phone call, I took a shower and went to bed. The next morning, I received a call from Teacher Yu. She was my piano teacher when I was young and had contact with me during this period. When I had time, I would go to her to practice the piano. Over the years, my piano skills are very high, so Teacher Yu often asks me to go to Wucheng's No. 1 university to help her teach a lesson when she has something to do, just like today.

I thought I had nothing to do, so I agreed, got up and changed my clothes and put on makeup, not wanting to make myself look so cold, so I wore a bright winter long skirt, a pair of flat shoes, and a light makeup, which was very light, so light that it just covered the shallow scars on my face just right.

There are all students in the school, and my garage is full of sports cars. I don’t want to be too arrogant, so I took a taxi to the school. As soon as I arrived at the school, I received a call that I was temporarily unwilling to answer. But because he was an elder and was not bad to me, I stood at the school gate and answered and asked, “Dad, is there anything to do with me?”

It has not snowed in Wucheng recently, and the sun is shining. I looked up at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky. I heard Chairman Gu ask helplessly: "What is your relationship with Chu Xing?"

I pretended to be stupid and asked, "What's wrong?"

"He revoked all the contracts with the Gu family last night and even paid a large amount of liquidated damages, but what the Gu family needed was not this liquidated damages. Sheng'er, and what the Gu family needed were those contracts."

"Dad, I can't make any decisions. Chu Xing wants to vent his anger for me, and I can't even stop me. If you have any problems in the future, just ask Gu Tingchen or find a way to solve them, because now, everything outside has nothing to do with me, and I can't stop it. Don't bother me with these things."

I was very strong and Chairman Gu was silent for a moment.

After a while, he asked, "You can't be my daughter-in-law if you divorce? Sheng'er, you know, I have always opposed Wen Ruyan's entry into the Gu family's door, but Tingchen feels that he has always owe her."

After a pause, he said again: "Tingchen doesn't love her, but he just feels that he owes her. It happens that in his heart he stubbornly thought that he owes her a wedding. Sheng'er, he has not yet figured out his feelings for you. He has grown up in my arrangement since he was a child, never deviated from the track, nor has he resisted. Maybe he felt that he had no need to resist, until he met Wen Ruyan, that was the first time he had fought against me. He might think that divorced you was a winner."

"Dad, Gu Tingchen is an adult. He has his own thoughts on what he does. He likes his own business. My divorce from him has been carefully considered, and no one owe anyone."

Chairman Gu sighed and asked for a long time to ask for a normal question, "Can you remarry?"

"It's no longer possible between me and him."

"Sheng'er, I can persuade him as long as you want."

I said quickly, "I don't want to."

I have known him for three years, and I know what kind of person he is. In Chairman Gu's eyes, the interests of the Gu family are supreme. Now that someone threatens this interest, he will definitely eradicate Wen Ruyan's.

But now he can't beat Gu Tingchen. If he can't beat Wen Ruyan, he can't move her. Gu Tingchen will still marry her. So he thought of me. He hoped that I could remarry Gu Tingchen. In this way, the Chu family will not only cooperate with the Gu family, but also get closer because of my relationship.

In Chairman Gu's eyes, I don't want to change my wealth, but Wen Ruyan is worthless.

I should be glad that I was the daughter of the Shi family, so I let him cherish it for many years.

I was unwilling to participate in the troubles between them, and I had no extra time to waste. After hanging up Chairman Gu's phone number, I went to the classroom on the first floor. The students were very excited when they saw me.

"Teacher Shi, I haven't seen you here to teach us a few months."

"Have you forgotten us recently when you have a boyfriend?"

"Teacher Shi, what song are you teaching us today?"

"Teacher Shi, you are still very beautiful today."

“…”

They asked me a lot of questions in a mess, but I couldn't handle it and could only smile. Speaking of which, I was about the same age as them. If I followed the normal life trajectory, I should be like them now, sitting in the classroom waiting for the teacher to attend class, and having to take the final exam.

"Teacher Shi, why don't you speak?"

A young big boy asked me.

I smiled and joked, "What did you say after you finish speaking?"

"Oh, does Teacher Shi have a partner?"

Just ask some unnutritional questions.

I smiled and said, "Okay, OK, class is starting."

"What song is the teacher teaching us today?"

“The street where the wind lives.”

I have never played the street where I live in public, or I have never touched this song since my parents passed away. I dare not, and I am subconsciously escaping.

This may be the last lesson I taught them, so I want to leave this song to them, I want to give them all the most precious things in my heart, and I hope they can remember me as a teacher in the future.

Piano music, the street where the wind lives.

The score exists deep in my memory. I heard that person play it several times, recalling the past, recalling the piano music I listened to in the classroom not long ago, recalling the little girl after another, I played this song with my eyes closed, and the piano sound exactly like that person was trickling into my ears.

The street where the wind lives, in fact, the wind did not live or stay here. He just passed by. When you and I were young, we swept away our time. You left here after such a gust of wind. I kept waiting in place, but the wind had already left, and he took away all the fallen leaves on the whole street. Everything that was originally hazy was gradually fainted by the water, making it even more hazy, and finally couldn't see clearly, even a back view could not be seen clearly, leaving only a person's memories.

Everything is gone, empty...

I laughed, but I couldn't help but tears.

I stopped and the students asked me why I cried.

I smiled and said, "That's the teacher's little secret."

After one class I left the classroom with my bag, but I was stunned when I went out.

When was Gu Tingchen here?

I asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Gu Tingchen was wearing an orthodox black suit, with a cold face and a deep eyes looking at me. He pursed his lips and asked indifferently: "Shi Sheng, why did you cry just now?"

I asked with a smile: "Does it have anything to do with Mr. Gu?"

Gu Tingchen was choked and his face was not very good, but he still asked stubbornly: "What is your little secret?"

I frowned, "You don't understand human words or why?"

My little secret is about that person that year, that piano piece.

It has nothing to do with Gu Tingchen in front of him.

I didn't want to make trouble with Gu Tingchen here, so I threw this sentence and left quickly. Gu Tingchen followed me closely. I finally said with a bad temper: "Gu Tingchen, what do you want to do?"

I stared at him without a good look at him, but Gu Tingchen smiled and said, "It's rare to see you get angry!"

I was stunned, "What are you going to do?"

After a long silence, he suddenly said, "I regret it."

I asked in a daze: "What?"

"Shi Sheng, I regret divorceing you."
