Chapter 546: Winners Take All
Joey's fingers were clean and beautiful, and the toffee lay quietly in the palm of his hand with clear lines, which made Gu Wanzhou's tears fall.
She took the toffee with trembling fingers, peeled it off gently, and handed it to Liu Huaichuan.
She looked up at him, her eyes moist: "I have an awkward identity. The Ye family doesn't want me, the Gu family doesn't like me, Gu Changting can't remember what I like, and Joey remembers it because I had a fight with Haya. But Liu Huaichuan, can I ask you to remember, remember that there was once someone like me in this world, who was sometimes just a little girl who wanted to eat candy."
At this moment, Gu Wanzhou didn't look like the vicious woman she was when they first met. Looking at him with such eager eyes, she really looked like an innocent little girl.
Liu Huaichuan's hand holding the poisoned wine was trembling slightly, and he felt complicated.
Gu Wanzhou's hands were also raised there, trembling. The light in his eyes gradually disappeared, and in the end, only self-deprecation remained. "It doesn't matter. It's better if I don't remember. I'm afraid that someone like me will only soil Officer Liu's memories."
After all, she was the girl he had watched grow up. Now she was at the end of her rope, and Joey felt sorry for her.
He took the poisoned wine from Liu Huaichuan's hand and placed it on the table beside him, then said to Liu Huaichuan: "Give her a good ride, I'll wait for you outside."
Some things are better said when two people are alone together.
Liu Huaichuan knew that Joey meant for him to give Gu Wanzhou a good ride.
After he went out, he took the toffee from Gu Wanzhou's hand and ate it, then looked at her seriously and said, "I will remember it."
He looked at her with pity in his eyes: "Don't worry, after you leave, I will take your ashes to the seaside, and I will never let you be buried in the Gu family or the Ye family."
"You still remember," at this time, Gu Wanzhou finally felt a little relieved.
This is what she said when she was disguised as Zeng Xiaoke and they were riding bikes past the beach.
He could remember and understand why she wanted to be buried by the sea, which made her very happy and she had no regrets in her life.
"Don't you blame me?"
Seeing her silently bending down to take the cup of poisoned wine, Liu Huaichuan finally couldn't help but ask.
Gu Wanzhou picked up the wine glass, not even slightly startled by his question: "Success goes to the king, failure goes to the bandit. I lost because of my weakness, but I am willing to accept it."
In just a moment, the little girl's innocence disappeared in an instant, and she once again became the cold and invulnerable Gu Wanzhou.
“Tell Shen Weiyang that she killed my brother, and I will never let her have an easy life. One life for another, and she will regret it when she returns to the capital.”
"What do you mean by that?" Liu Huaichuan was anxious. "What backup plan do you have?"
Gu Wanzhou looked at his anxious expression, and the smile on the corner of his lips became more and more complacent: "Officer Liu is so capable, go and investigate it yourself. I have left a big surprise for her in the capital, and I guarantee that she will never forget it."
"Gu Wanzhou!"
"Liu Huaichuan, goodbye forever."
When Liu Huaichuan was about to ask more questions, Gu Wanzhou simply drank the poisoned wine in his hand.
The last look she gave him was filled with deep pain.
There is no early or late in life. One step late will make a lifetime of mistakes.
Brother, I'm sorry. In my next life, I only want to meet Liu Huaichuan and don't want to know you again.
——
"This is the best ending for her. In fact, she has always been very frustrated being caught between the Gu family and the Ye family. Now she can be considered free."
Liu Huaichuan was in a heavy mood when he left Gu Wanzhou's cell, and his face looked visibly bad. Joey couldn't help but comfort him.
When Liu Huaichuan opened his mouth, he realized how hoarse his voice was: "She likes the seaside. If possible, bury her by the sea. She doesn't want to be buried in either the Gu family's or the Ye family's ancestral tombs."
Joey was stunned for a moment: "You're not going in person?"
Liu Huaichuan laughed sarcastically, "Why should I go? Am I going to wrong my future wife because of a momentary guilt? I can't go to pay tribute to a woman I have an ambiguous relationship with every year after we get married. Sorry, I don't want to see my wife suffer."
Joey was silent for a long time. When he was leaving the prison, he spoke with some discomfort: "You people from Country A are so heartless. Ye Zhaozhao and you, can't you be a little nicer to these brothers and sisters?"
As soon as Liu Huaichuan came out, he saw Sui Su waiting at the gate. She was wearing a plain long dress, looking gentle and charming, unlike her usual style.
"In our country A, there's a saying that goes, 'You're responsible for the consequences of your own actions.' Not only for my future wife, but also for my fallen brothers, I can't possibly keep her in my heart and pay tribute to her every year."
Regardless of whether Gu Wanzhou was forced or not, it is a fact that she assisted the evil. Liu Huaichuan lost so many brothers because of No. 86. One person is a family, and so many families were destroyed because of No. 86. How could Liu Huaichuan possibly reconcile with her?
Looking at his determined back as he left, Joey understood, but still felt sorry for Gu Wanzhou.
If she had not been born into such a complicated family, or had met Liu Huaichuan earlier, perhaps they would have had different possibilities.
"Brother Liu."
When Sui Su saw Liu Huaichuan coming out in a bad mood, she was very worried, but she didn't dare to ask too much.
She was afraid that the answer she asked might not be what she wanted to hear.
Liu Huaichuan approached her and looked at her rare gentle appearance. He had an urge to lower his head and kiss her, but when he realized that there was still the taste of toffee in his mouth, he finally just hugged her and held her tightly in his arms.
Sui Su didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, but she was very happy that he could hug her so actively and intimately, so she reached out and hugged him tightly.
Liu Huaichuan had a lot on his mind, but he finally found a moment of peace when he hugged her.
Just holding her was enough, he didn't want to mention anything about Gu Wanzhou.
Human emotions are inherently complicated. After so much entanglement with Gu Wanzhou, it is impossible for him to have no feelings for her at all. Sometimes he will pity someone based on his good impression of that person.
If it weren't for the lives of so many teammates, he would have long ago realized that there are some feelings that he shouldn't have, and he might really fall in love with Gu Wanzhou.
This is the complexity of human nature, which cannot be explained clearly, so he was unwilling to say it out loud and let Sui Su think more about it.
Since he didn't say anything, Sui Su didn't want to ask more.
As long as he can treat me as a safe haven now and hug me like this when he feels sad, it is enough.
"Ahem."
Finally, it was Sui Jian's cough that woke the two people from their thoughts.
Yan Hui followed behind Sui Jian, watching the two separate like frightened birds, and found it very amusing: "Sui Jian, you scared the young couple. I told you not to disturb them at this time. Look how awkward it is now."
