Chapter 114: So you got married? Started a new family?
Then, he wiped his face with one hand, smiled to hide his feelings, and said, "I hope you can go to Kyoto with me, but I can't be selfish. Hi~ Daddy is very happy to see you and know you. I'm happy today and I'm going to drink more. Cheers."
After saying this, Gong Jizhi picked up the cup on the table, drank it all in one gulp, sat down quickly, and immediately lowered his head.
Seeing their commander crying uncontrollably, Xiao Liu felt bad and quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to him.
It was the first time he saw their commander so fragile. This tough guy could actually cry, but for some reason, he felt pity for the commander, so he also shed tears silently.
Gu Wanxing's eyelashes were also wet. She was born with shallow eye sockets, and in her previous life, she would shed tears whenever she watched a short video.
When Gu Tianming heard the words "let your mother and you suffer", he felt a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he understood. The mother and daughter were indeed not living as well as they did in Kyoto with him.
Now that his daughter has been silent, he is also a little angry:
"Wanxing, what's wrong with you talking? Is this how your father taught you? You don't even respond to the elders' words?"
"No, brother, don't make things difficult for the child. She needs to digest it slowly. She is still stunned by my sudden appearance." Upon hearing the voice, Gong Jizhi suddenly raised his red eyes and looked at Gu Tianming.
Fu Zheng stood up again and poured water for everyone. He even went into the house to get a small handkerchief and secretly handed it to Gu Wanxing.
Gu Wanxing took the handkerchief and finally raised her head. Her eyes were slightly red, and her crystal black eyes seemed to have been washed with water, making them even brighter.
She looked at Gong Jizhi and said seriously:
"Actually, I saw you were quite calm. The last time that leader came, I knew this day would come sooner or later, and I was prepared. You said you didn't know I existed, and I understand, but my mother hasn't been back for so many years, why didn't you look for her? I'm asking this question on my mother's behalf. I believe she was thinking about home even before she died."
Gu Wanxing paused, his eyes suddenly turning cold. "Or... you've already fallen in love with someone else, so you never even thought about looking for my mom."
However, at this moment, there was a layer of mist in her eyes, which made her unable to see the expression of the person opposite her.
But she still looked stubbornly at Gong Jizhi opposite her, wanting to get an answer for her mother.
Gong Jizhi stared blankly at his daughter who was so close to him. She was so close, yet she felt so far away.
He said, "I have looked for her. When your grandfather's family was in trouble, I wanted to go look for your mother, but your grandfather forcibly kidnapped me and held me captive for two days. When I went to the Bai family's house, it was already empty. I acted like a deserter and searched everywhere for your mother, but no one knew where she had gone. I searched for her for a full ten years. Later, news came from the Great Northern Wilderness that a educated youth from the Corps named Bai Qing had been eaten by a bear. I rushed there overnight and asked some questions. Although I'm not sure if it was your mother, I think it's probably her. Not everyone can join the Corps. If it was arranged by your grandfather before he left, then it's possible. That's why I gave up looking for her."
"So you got married? Started a new family?" This was what Gu Wanxing wanted to ask selfishly. She simply wanted to know about the other party's family situation.
"No, Comrade Gu, the commander got married nine years ago. He was tricked into getting married."
Xiao Liu answered immediately. Everyone in the family compound knew this question. Even if he wanted to cover his ears and not listen, it was impossible because it had been circulating in the army for a long time.
Gong Jizhi was feeling remorseful and self-blaming at the moment, and had no time to care about Xiao Liu. Perhaps if he had searched a little longer, Bai Qing wouldn't have died.
It was my own negligence that led to Bai Qing not receiving good treatment, so she left forever.
I can’t imagine how unwilling she was when she closed her eyes for the last time. She didn’t wait for her brother, her fiancé, or her father. How desperate she must have been.
He had lost all his image at this moment, crying like a child, with tears and snot streaming down his face.
Gu Wanxing said silently in her heart: Mom, did you see that? He came to see you, you should be happy.
The meal finally ended in an emergency when Gong Jizhi took medicine again.
Gu Tianming arranged people in Gu Wanxing's bedroom, and the two small beds had not been merged yet.
It's just right for two people to sleep.
Gu Wanxing had to be sent back to the rented house by Fu Zheng overnight.
"Go slowly, Xiao Fu, the two of you. After you finish sending Wanxing off, go home and rest early. You've done a day's work."
Gu Tianming kept muttering to himself as he looked at Fu Zheng's back as he was unlocking his motorcycle.
This was the third time he had said this.
"Okay, uncle, I got it. You should go back and rest. You drank a lot of wine." Fu Zheng responded patiently.
"Wanxing, come back tomorrow, you hear me?"
He had no idea what Gong Jizhi would do next, so he wanted his daughter to come back and make the decision.
"Yeah." Gu Wanxing is still not in the right state of mind. He just glanced at the number on the passbook and has not recovered yet.
Late at night, the soft moonlight gently caresses the branches, casting tiny, fragmented black shadows.
Motorcycles shuttled through the mottled light and shadow.
"How's it going? Do you feel cooler?"
Fu Zheng hadn't heard her movement and couldn't help but look back at her.
"It's okay. Just ride well and don't look back."
"good."
Fu Zheng responded with a smile. The scars on his legs had almost disappeared recently. He didn't want to stay at home any longer as there were still many things waiting for him to do in the army.
He was thinking of going back early, and the reason he came back was actually for Gu Wanxing.
So now he desperately wants an answer, but she has encountered so many things that how can he ask.
"Don't take some things too seriously. Just let them flow, don't you think?"
Seeing the man in front of him turning around again, Gu Wanxing couldn't help but hit him on the back of the head.
We have become more familiar with each other recently and are not shy about joking with each other.
"hiss."
"I told you not to look back, what if you fall?"
As she finished speaking, the motorcycle made a loud noise.
Bang——
Then the car seemed to go down a flight of stairs, made a thud, and then wobbled for a long distance before finally stopping.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Gu Wanxing got out of the car and felt his calves were a little weak.
"The tire's blown."
Fu Zheng thought about it for a while, then got off the motorcycle.
Gu Wanxing had already squatted down to check.
But I could only see that the wheel was flat, and I couldn't see any broken parts.
"What did you see?"
"He must be out of breath."
Fu Zheng found it a little funny, but he didn't really laugh. Instead, he squatted down and took a closer look.
The two men's night vision was really strong. Fu Zheng saw the problem with the faint moonlight after just one look.
Gu Wanxing naturally saw it as well.
There was a huge iron nail stuck in the tire, estimated to be five millimeters in diameter.
This was definitely not caused by a puncture on the road. You can tell at a glance that it was man-made. If it was caused by a run, how could it be on the side?
In the darkness, the two looked at each other.
"Is it Gu Zhenzhen?"
"Someone wants to harm us."
The two spoke in unison, expressing their guesses at the same time.
Fu Zheng glanced at the dark road behind him, then looked forward. He was now stuck near the town.
