Chapter 2383 Beautiful Past
The cruise ship returned on the same day.
After getting ashore, Gu Changhai contacted Xiao Chongyang's children, Ajun and Hanlu, in person according to the request in Xiao Chongyang's suicide note, and briefly explained their father's affairs over the phone.
Xiao Jun is on his honeymoon on a small island in the Atlantic Ocean, while Hanlu is in Beicheng.
After receiving the call, the two children rushed back immediately.
Hanlu was in the country, and she and her lover Huo Senze arrived at Gu's house that day.
After reading the suicide note, Hanlu learned that there was another letter to Xiao Jun, so she asked Gu Changhai if there was any letter specifically for her.
Gu Changhai shook his head.
She showed a hint of disappointment, but then wiped away her tears, took out her cell phone and started contacting a helicopter to search for her father.
Huo Senze told her not to worry, saying that since her father had chosen this way to end his life, it was Mr. Xiao's personal wish. It would be better not to look for him, just send an obituary to relatives and friends, and then hold a normal funeral.
But Hanlu said that she was afraid that her father would change his mind and perhaps not take the medicine. Then she had to give her father a chance to regret it.
Even though her father had taken the medicine and passed away, she still wanted to bury him, because the words between the lines of the suicide note revealed his loneliness as an old man with no one to rely on.
Huo Senze sighed, feeling sorry for Hanlu and speaking up for her, saying that your adoptive father didn't even leave you a word, yet you still care about him so much.
In fact, Gu Changhai was also surprised. As far as he knew, Xiao Chongyang treated Hanlu like a chess piece and was just using his daughter to do things for him.
Unexpectedly, Hanlu did not hate Xiao Chongyang at all, and even went to search for him with the idea of saving him.
But Hanlu said something to Huo Senze that made Gu Changhai look at him with admiration.
Hanlu said, "He was indeed very strict with me. It's not an exaggeration to say that he controlled my life. He even chose my marriage partner. But now, I haven't become unhappy. Since the result is good, I would rather be grateful to him than resent him."
After hearing Hanlu's words, Gu Changhai couldn't help but sigh. It's true that daughters are caring.
Living with resentment is indeed a very painful and sad thing, and Xiao Chongyang is a typical example.
If Xiao Chongyang could be as content as Hanlu, he could also become happy.
Thinking of this, I admired the little girl Hanlu more and more, but I couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
If only Hanlu didn’t have a partner yet, he would definitely find a way to bring Hanlu and Tianqi together.
Unfortunately, my silly son is not blessed...
Afterwards, Hanlu and Huo Senze went to the sea to search for Xiao Chongyang's lifeboat.
There was a signal transmitter on the lifeboat, so the search was not so blind.
The next evening, they found the lifeboat, but Xiao Chongyang had passed away.
The body was transported back to the Xiao residence by helicopter. Hanlu knelt in front of her adoptive father's body and cried bitterly.
Xiao Jun and his new wife also came back and went to the Xiao residence together.
Gu Changhai also came to Xiao's house. This was his first time to visit Xiao Chongyang's home. It was much brighter than he had imagined, and even made Gu Changhai feel like he was walking into his own home.
Because Xiao Chongyang used all the colors that Wanqing liked, whether it was wallpaper or carpet...
Afterwards, he followed Xiao Jun to Xiao Chongyang's study and handed the two suicide notes to Xiao Jun.
Xiao Jun sat on the sofa and read the two letters silently.
When Xiao Jun was reading the letter, Gu Changhai accidentally looked at Xiao Chongyang's desk. A photo frame came into his sight and attracted his attention.
It was a photo of a girl in a white dress.
Gu Changhai recognized her at a glance. It was none other than his wife Lin Wanqing.
Wanqing sat on a chair outside the cafe, holding a book in her hand, her whole body bathed in the sunshine, feeling warm and beautiful.
He walked over, picked up the photo frame and looked at it for a long time.
If only time could go back, how wonderful it would be...
"If you want to keep it as a souvenir...you can take it away." Xiao Jun said.
Gu Changhai shook his head and put the photo frame down. "This is a memory your father cherished. Put it in his coffin when he is buried."
Xiao Jun nodded and said nothing more.
Gu Changhai glanced at the letter in his hand: "Have you finished reading it?"
He wanted to know Xiao Jun's background and had always been concerned about this matter.
Because Xiao Jun and A Ye look so similar, they look like real brothers. Anyone who sees this child will say that he is a descendant of their Xiao family.
But Xiao Jun only answered with a "hmm" and nothing else.
Gu Changhai understood that Xiao Jun didn't want to say it, at least not now.
Then don’t force it, forget it.
…
But that night after returning from Xiao's house, Gu Changhai had a strange dream, and also a beautiful dream.
After waking up, my pajamas were soaked with sweat, so I had to take a shower.
However, I lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the scene in my dream.
After Wanqing left, he never looked for another woman, and he and Chen Xiaofeng always slept in separate rooms. He had indeed dreamed of similar situations, but the person in the dream was always Wanqing. This was the first time he dreamed of another woman.
Who was he dreaming about? He didn't know, he didn't see clearly.
Moreover, it was a past event that really happened and was not something his brain made up.
The incident happened on the fifth anniversary of his and Wanqing's marriage. Xiao Chongyang came to Haicheng on business and asked Wanqing to go out for dinner.
Wanqing initially did not agree to meet him, but Xiao Chongyang lied that he had a terminal illness and tricked Wanqing into meeting him.
After meeting, he told Wanqing that he was going to get a divorce and hoped that Wanqing would give him another chance.
Wanqing refused his request, and when they were about to part, Xiao Chongyang hugged Wanqing.
Then it was photographed by someone he had arranged in advance and sent to Gu Changhai.
Gu Changhai was very jealous. When Wanqing came home, he wanted to sleep with her, but was rejected.
He spoke angrily and wrongly accused Wanqing, asking her if she had just had a secret meeting with her ex-lover and didn't have the energy to do it with him.
Wanqing has a tsundere personality. If you wrongly accuse her, she will not bother to explain.
She said at the time, "Yes, I did it. Are you satisfied? Can you let me go?"
In the end, he forced Wanqing to sleep with him. Later he found out that Wanqing was on her period that day and was feeling unwell, so she refused him.
Gu Changhai regretted hurting her, but her words were just as hurtful.
At that time, both of them were in their twenties, both young and energetic. When they quarreled, they did not know the principle of giving in first, so they did not speak for several days. Even if they regretted it in their hearts, they would wait for the other party to speak first.
During those two months, every time he returned home, the master bedroom door was locked.
I was so depressed that I simply stopped going home on time.
Either he works overtime at the company, or he goes to the bar, gets half drunk, and then goes straight home to sleep.
Once, he went out to get drunk, and Chen Xiaofeng was also in the bar and had two drinks with him.
After getting drunk, Chen Xiaofeng sent him to the hotel.
When Chen Xiaofeng was helping him take off his clothes, he woke up and pushed Chen Xiaofeng out of the room.
But the next day, his bed was indeed very messy, with blood stains on the sheets.
