Chapter 989 Gu Wanqiu's Legacy

Last year, I thought Gong Qing was a waste. This kind of rich young man was used to a privileged life and had no idea of the complexity of the outside world. People like him would be eaten to pieces in the intrigue-filled business world.

But unexpectedly, Gong Qing has grown so much in this year and has completely taken over the Gong family. He has doubled back the losses he suffered and even trained his own people abroad. He should have spies in China, otherwise he would not have known about Gu Wanqiu's accident so quickly and arranged for people to find her.

Gong Qing... Li Jinxing silently recited the name in his heart, rubbing his fingertips on the keyboard.

He used to be his stand-in. As a stand-in, he had no dignity at all. He climbed up desperately just to surpass him and prove to Gu Wanqiu that he was better than Gong Qing, and that Li Jinxing was no worse than him, and that Gong Qing was not worthy of him.

But in terms of love, there is no such thing as worthy or unworthy. From the moment Gu Wanqiu fell in love with Gong Qing, he had already lost.

Even though she got Gu Wanqiu's body, she didn't get her heart until she had an accident.

Those who lost contact at sea have been officially confirmed dead. The reason they have not been released yet is because Li Jinxing is controlling them. Currently, they are still cooperating with the police to conduct a large-scale search for Gu Wanqiu and his group.

Two weeks passed in a flash. During the past half month, the police had been searching day and night. They were beginning to be exhausted and began to complain to each other. They believed that the man was already dead and that further searching would be of no use. It was a waste of money and energy.

It is really difficult to find people at sea. Considering safety issues, they have to go back as soon as it gets dark. They cannot go to Shanghai when the weather is bad to avoid secondary accidents. They are going to find people instead of losing their lives.

At first, the boat ride was bearable, but as we got to the back, the boat started shaking and I started to feel seasick. I felt dizzy and vomited. I persuaded wave after wave of people to leave and it was impossible to look for someone properly. Even when I was resting and sleeping at night, I felt the bed was shaking and my dreams were restless. In my dreams, I was on a boat looking for someone.

One group of people retrieved the bodies from the boat, while another large group searched around J City and surrounding cities, but they found nothing.

Li Jinxing waited patiently. He had a persistent belief in his heart that Gu Wanqiu was not dead. Before she left, she made arrangements with Mrs. Liu. She not only bought her insurance but also arranged accommodation for her. In addition, she also hired a lawyer to write a will. It was obvious that she had encountered such a result and wanted to use "death" to avoid him.

A month passed and Li Jinxing was still calm. During this period, he met with the lawyer hired by Gu Wanqiu. The will written by Gu Wanqiu was to donate all the property under her name to establish a women's association charity to help women in need.

She has a lot of property under her name. Li Jinxing left her more than ten billion yuan, as well as real estate and cars. The custom-made clothes and bags in her room alone are worth a lot of money.

Li Jinxing could have schemed to get back all the money Gu Wanqiu had given him, but after thinking about it...he decided not to. He could earn money back, and this was one of the few good things Gu Wanqiu had done, so he should just satisfy her.

Li Jinxing arranged for others to take over these matters and quickly completed the final work for the charity.

Gu Wanqiu did not sell the house in the north of the city, which originally belonged to the Gu family. Instead, she let Mrs. Liu live there. On the surface, Mrs. Liu was there to help her look after the house, but in fact, she was also giving her a place to live.

Mrs. Liu doesn’t know all this yet.

Another month has passed, and it has been two months since Gu Wanqiu disappeared. Those who have been looking for her outside have begun to complain, but when they think that there is still a month left, they breathe a sigh of relief and continue to search with full energy.

Li Jinxing's mood began to sink to the bottom again, and he had a gloomy face every day.

He wanted to drink and smoke again. Looking at the wine locked in the wine cabinet, he resisted the urge to take it. He said he would quit those things.

Li Jinxing went back to the north of the city. Just like Qiule Manor, the outer gate was locked and could be unlocked with fingerprints.

Li Jinxing subconsciously stretched out his finger, then thought, Gu Wanqiu has lived here for so long, she might have deleted his fingerprint long ago. Just as he finished thinking, he heard a sound from the door lock and the iron gate opened.

Li Jinxing was stunned for a moment, then went in. Most of the decorations in the house had been changed, even the decoration style had changed, and it was impossible to recognize its original appearance.

Li Jinxing went upstairs to Gu Wanqiu's room. Everything he had tried so hard to preserve had long since changed.

Even the room he once lived in became a storage room, as if he had never lived there.

If the outside of the house hadn't changed, he would have thought he had walked into the wrong place. The house was completely different from the one he remembered.

Li Jinxing could imagine how Gu Wanqiu felt when she paid someone to renovate the house.

How much did she hate him? That's why she destroyed and threw away everything related to him, leaving no trace.

But she only forgot his fingerprint on the door.

Li Jinxing walked into Gu Wanqiu's room and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to find a trace of Gu Wanqiu's breath in this empty room.

However, after more than two months, there was no trace of her left.

He sat on the bed, looking at the folded quilt and pillow and the table lamp on the bedside table. He seemed to be able to imagine what Gu Wanqiu looked like sleeping in this bed.

She is afraid of the dark, so she will turn on a night light when she goes to bed at night, open the windows with only the screens left, and close the curtains when she goes to bed. She likes quietness at night, and she will not sleep well if there are too many noises.

When she sleeps, she likes to curl up with her legs bent and sleep on her right side. She sleeps very restlessly, likes to kick the quilt, and likes to cover her head with the quilt, often leaving her feet exposed and her head covered.

Some people say that people who like to sleep like this are very lonely and lack a sense of security. When he saw this sentence, he thought of Gu Wanqiu, and he really couldn't understand why Gu Wanqiu lacked a sense of security.

Li Jinxing lay on the bed, using the pillow that Gu Wanqiu had used and the quilt that she had used. No one had cleaned the room for sixty or seventy days, and there was a layer of dust in the room. The quilt also smelled of dust.

Li Jinxing also slept on his right side, his body curled up involuntarily, thinking about everything that had happened here.

He washed Gu Wanqiu's feet, told her stories, waited quietly for her to finish her bath and then dried her hair. When she was hungry, he would be the first to prepare food for her.

If you think about it in an extreme way, this is called a lack of dignity and human rights, but when you find that you are beginning to like this person, you think this is also romantic. You spend every day together, and the years are peaceful and harmonious with both of you. You willingly accept the unfairness she gives you.

Then slowly... I began to miss the past and wanted to go back to the past.

Different people, with different moods, will have different views and opinions when looking at the same thing.

Li Jinxing hasn't slept well for several nights in a row. A person's sleep quality is composed of light sleep and deep sleep. Light sleep will cause dreams, while deep sleep passes by in the blink of an eye.

Li Jinxing has been dreaming every day and his memory of the dreams is very clear. Sometimes he can even tell that it is a dream while he is dreaming.

He couldn't sleep well and felt very tired during the day. Since he couldn't smoke, he relied on drinking bitter coffee, which made it even more difficult for him to fall asleep at night. His body was the first to give out, and he felt pain in his brain, dry eyes, and sometimes even his heartbeat accelerated inexplicably.

Sometimes Li Jinxing couldn't help but wonder whether he would suddenly die while waiting for Gu Wanqiu.

He didn't want to suffer from insomnia and relied on medication to fall asleep, but the medication could only maintain three or four hours of sleep, which was not enough.

Li Jinxing is a person who manages his time strictly. He will arrange his daily affairs and what to do in what time period. His daily routine has rarely been disrupted in the past ten years.

In the past, he went to bed at 10 o'clock and got up at 6 o'clock. He insisted on going to bed early and getting up early, and had a regular schedule. He was even complained by He Tian, saying that he was an emotionless robot.

His strict sleep and rest schedule and self-discipline were things he had always been proud of, but now that they were broken one by one, he began to lose self-discipline and could no longer control his emotions and thoughts...
