MTL - I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses-Chapter 484 is light

Chapter 484 It’s light

You Lan nodded with red eyes and asked, "What is uncle coming here to do?"

do what?

Probably…

 Let’s draw a clear line.

Gu Chao took a deep breath and didn't answer. He waved You Lan into Wei Lan's room with his backhand, "Help me clean up together."

   *

 In the room, Grandma Gu struggled to sit up, "Wei, Chief Wei?"

 Wei Xueliang nodded, "Don't be surprised if you come empty-handed."

Then he clapped his hands again, looked around and landed on the chair by the window, lifted his trouser legs and sat down.

Although the two families have not gone through the formal process, the matter of the child has basically been finalized.

If under normal circumstances, Wei Xueliang came to visit for the first time, he would definitely not be empty-handed.

 The current situation at this time is another matter.

　　"Chief Wei, you're being polite..." Grandma Gu spoke weakly, but she still managed to cheer up.

When something happened to Wei Lan, Wei Xueliang came all the way here. Grandma Gu didn't understand why.

 It is precisely because I understand that I feel even more uncomfortable.

Wei Xueliang spoke very little. He didn't speak much while sitting there, listening to what Grandma Gu was saying.

Grandma Gu was thinking about Wei Lan in her heart, and with a smile in her cloudy old eyes, she told him what the Gu family was like before, what the Gu family was like after Wei Lan came, the changes in the family, the changes in the Gu Dynasty, and Youlan's Variety.

As she spoke, Grandma Gu had tears in her eyes again. She mentioned Wei Lan's good deeds in detail, and then talked about her and Gu Chaowei's failure to protect the Wei family.

"My old bones are about to be buried, but Brother Chao still has a long life. He is stubborn and stubborn. I'm afraid he will spend his whole life with guilt and guilt. I just ask Commander Wei to be more tolerant and allow him to do his best in front of you." Be filial, don't let him want to repent, there is no way to do it."

Grandma Gu understands Gu Chao, and with Gu Chao’s temperament, he will stay with the Wei family with Wei Lan’s thoughtfulness and filial piety.

 However, if something like this happens, can the Wei family still forgive Brother Chao?

 Most of the time, she couldn't. Grandma Gu shamelessly begged the Wei family for forgiveness, but she didn't want Gu Chao to suffer for the rest of her life.

 She wants to fight for...

Wei Xueliang touched his hair twice in frustration, sighed and remained silent for a long time. Finally he looked at Grandma Gu and said frankly: "Gu Chao is a good boy, we all like him."

 “I am also willing to facilitate this marriage, but...”

Wei Xueliang's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he smiled helplessly, "This matter was done intentionally by others, and he cannot be blamed emotionally or rationally."

 The implication is that the Wei family has no intention of resenting Gu Chao.

Grandma Gu was startled for a moment, and a hint of expectation emerged in her heart, "What Chief Wei means is..."

But before Grandma Gu could say more, Wei Xueliang continued: "We don't mean to blame Gu Chao, but..."

"The mother of the child can't accept it." After saying the same thing, Wei Xueliang stood up and walked towards the door. The moment he touched the handle, he said again: "If possible, please tell the old man to tell him... not to go there again."

 No one in the Wei family blamed Gu Chao, but when Gu Chao appeared in front of them, he would always remind them of what happened.

 Instead of living in sorrow forever, it is better for the bridge to return to the bridge, the road to the road, and everyone will be well.

 “Wei, Chief Wei…”

The old man's urgent shout came from behind. Wei Xueliang didn't stop, opened the door and walked out.

Hand closed the door with his backhand, Wei Xueliang was stunned when he saw a young man and a young man standing at the door, "This is it?"

 He glanced at the box in Gu Chao's eyes.

Gu Chao's eyes were red, and he tried his best to show a faint smile, "It belongs to Wei Lan. I thought my uncle would take it back, so I packed it away."

The young man smiled repressed and shyly, surrounded by an aura of frustration and decadence. Compared with the young man who threw him down on the school field half a year ago, he looked completely different.

 There is not even the slightest connection between the two.

　In addition to guilt, Gu Chao's heart was probably no less painful than theirs.

Wei Xueliang looked at the box in his hand again. He stared at it silently for a long time without opening it to take a closer look at what was inside. "Let's keep it for reflection."

Wei Xueliang patted Gu Chao on the shoulder, "Since you still regard me as your uncle and your elder, just listen to my uncle's advice and live a good life in the future."

Looking at Youlan behind Gu Chao, Wei Xueliang smiled lightly and said, "Follow your grandma well and educate your younger brothers and sisters."

 Gu Chao's mouth was filled with sour water. Wei Xueliang walked out, and he followed behind him, "Uncle, I will go to the capital to see you in a while..."

This time Wei Xueliang did not respond, nor did he look back, nor did he even pause.

Gu Chao chased him a few steps, his steps unconsciously slowed down, and finally he stopped where he was.

 He is not a fool and knows what Wei Xueliang means.

He now has nothing to do with Wei Lan and the Wei family.

In Youlan's memory, Grandma Gu called her brother to have a private conversation with her later, but she didn't know exactly what she said.

I only know that after my brother came out of my grandma’s house that day, he held the rattan box and sat on the rocking chair in the backyard where Sister Lan used to sit. His eyes were red and he retched for a long time. Finally, he turned over and lay on the manhole cover, laughing heartily.

That laughter was hearty and resonant, but it was more miserable and heartbreaking than crying.

You Lan, a young man, does not yet understand the taste of love and heartache, so he only sees the surface.

At that time, Gu Chao had no idea that there was a constant buzzing in his ears, and his stomach was pumped out as if several big hands were churning at the same time. His eyes were bloodshot and wanted to cry, but they were sore and sore that he couldn't shed a single tear.

 He has no tears, he cannot cry.

 Gu Chao felt so sad.

His girl, his light, his sun...

The surrounding bamboo forest and trees all quickly faded in color, as if in an instant, Gu Chao was in a dark space.

The surroundings were completely dark, with only light coming from the front.

In the beam of light, Wei Lan was wearing a white dress with a bright smile, "All the sunflowers will be in full bloom at the end of July, and it will be spectacular then! By the way, do you know the flower language of sunflowers?"

Her little hands rested on the brim of her straw hat tightly and comfortably, and she turned her head to look at him, "I know you don't know! Listen carefully! There is no one else in my eyes, you are everywhere. When I have you, you are the sun, and I can't take my eyes away." , without you, I lower my head and see no one... This is the flower language of sunflowers, how about it? Is it romantic? Let's go see it together then!"

 After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran forward with a smile.

With her running distance, the beam is getting farther and farther, and soon it will disappear ...

Gu Chao's pupils were dilated and lost their luster. He reached out to catch the disappearing light, but his whole body fell heavily to the ground.

The sky was gray and gloomy. He turned over and lay on the manhole cover, with tears in his eyes, and suddenly laughed out loud, "Haha...hahahaha..."

You Lan had been huddled at the door of the kitchen and looking around, not daring to get close. When she heard Gu Chao whisper, for some reason, she couldn't help it anymore and cried loudly, "Brother, brother, sister Lan, sister Lan..."

 …

   *

At the end of August and the beginning of September, Grandma Gu's body was already at the end of her strength, her oil was exhausted, and she had reached the last step of her life.

“In these increasingly good times, who would want to die?”

In the dim room, Grandma Gu was lying on her back on a quaint old wooden bed. She was so thin. "Lan, Lan girl hasn't been found yet... I haven't seen Brother Chao's child born yet..." Aunt Gu's face was filled with ravages, her eyes were cloudy and she couldn't see clearly, and she could only stretch out her hands to grab something out of thin air.

"Grandma." Gu Chao sat on the edge of the bed, holding Grandma Gu's hand and putting it to his ear. There were tears in his eyes but they refused to fall. "Grandma, go ahead."

Grandma Gu didn't seem to hear anything, and the other one continued to grab something in the air, and then she heard her old and weak voice sound again, "Wei, Wei Lan..."

 “It’s not that grandma doesn’t like you…”

“You don’t know how lively the house has been chattering every day since you came here... It’s not too late for grandma to like you...”

“You little girl, where did you go? Come back quickly. Come back, grandma, grandma will cook eggs for you. Wei, Wei Lan…”

Grandma Gu continued to talk intermittently, while the people around her cried silently, feeling very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, the old voice stopped abruptly, Grandma Gu's hand suddenly dropped, her muddy old eyes widened, and she was no longer breathing.

Until the last moment, Grandma Gu still missed Wei Lan.

 “Grandma!” Gu Chao growled, and tears fell heavily.

　　After You Lan, who had been crying softly on the side, realized what she was doing, she could no longer bear it and threw herself on the bed, crying loudly: "Grandma, grandma? Grandma!"

It has been half a month since I finished handling Grandma Gu’s funeral.

 A new policy was implemented above, in which production was guaranteed to each household, large collectives were dissolved, and land was distributed to individuals.

 The Gu family was allocated three acres of land on the Xiaogang side.

Gu Chao rented out the land and gave the keys to the house to Gu Yang, asking Gu Yang to help take care of Youlan. The family renting the land would pay the rent to Gu Yang during each harvest, which was used as Youlan's food ration.

Gu Chao stood in Wei Lan's room. Wei Lan loved cleanliness and openness. The windows had long been replaced with transparent glass. At this time, sunlight poured into the room from the window. Even though the room was empty, it was still full of sunshine.

 Just like her, clean and warm...

 It is light…

 It is his light!

He was deep in darkness and thought he had grasped the light that could redeem him. Who knew that he would fall into deeper darkness in an instant.

Gu Chao gritted his teeth, took a deep look, and walked out of the room resolutely, locking the door.

He packed his bags and was about to go out. In the courtyard, Gu Yang and his wife were holding their children, and You Lan stood at the door, looking at him and crying softly.

　　"Brother, don't go, don't walk, okay?" Youlan cried and threw herself into Gu Chao's arms, hugging Gu Chao and refusing to let go, "I don't have anything anymore, I have nothing. I can't live without my brother anymore, okay, don't walk..."

Sister Lan is gone, grandma is dead, and even my brother is leaving.

 Youlan fell into great panic.

 She doesn’t understand, obviously...

 Obviously everyone is happy and happy together, why? Why did it suddenly become like this?

 She only has her brother left.

Gu Chao touched You Lan's head with a dead look on his face and said in a calm and calm voice: "You Lan, good boy, I'll come back to pick you up after I settle down outside."

His life has been a complete failure. He failed to protect the one he loved and failed to let his grandma spend her old age in peace. Now he has to abandon his only sister...

 However, there is no other way. This place that was once full of joy and happiness will only make him miserable now.

"No...I don't want it!" You Lan burst into tears, tears falling down, "If my brother leaves, then I really have nothing, and I don't want it!"

You Lan was never able to keep Gu Chao.

Gu Chao planned to go to Haishi first to explain some things to Xie Jinghong, and then go to Wei Lan.

He was about to board the train with his luggage on his back when he met Xie Jinghong in a long gown and an oil-paper umbrella at the county train station.

The two of them were very surprised when they met. They found a place to sit down and explained the situation with a few words, but then fell into silence.

 Xie Jinghong came to H Province to see Gu Chao.

Regarding business matters, he wrote to Gu Chao many times, asking for help or discussing matters, but he never received a reply.

Xie Jinghong also had doubts, but then he thought again. The college entrance examination was coming at the end of July. Gu Chao might be busy taking the college entrance examination. After this period of time, he should be able to contact him.

 However, this wait has to wait until September.

 Xie Jinghong couldn't sit still anymore and decided to come over in person to see what was going on.

He thought about many things, but he never thought of this one.

The sister who always called him "little friend Jinghong" in letters and would make him new clothes and delicious food has disappeared?

died?

This joke is not funny at all.

Xie Jinghong frowned and wanted to question Gu Chao, but when he glanced at the man beside him with his head lowered and an aura of decadence and malaise surrounding him, he couldn't say the harsh words.

“Then what are you going to do?” Xie Jinghong held the wooden handle of the oil-paper umbrella and looked blankly at the street. Raindrops were falling, and pedestrians on the road covered their heads with their hands or clothes and ran as hard as they could.

 “Continue to be decadent like this?”

“I want to look for her, along the river, along the river, along the sea... wherever there is water, I will look for her.”

"If I could find it, I would have found it long ago!" Xie Jinghong turned his head, with a slightly rounded baby face, and his eyes were sharp, "You are wasting your time now."

 “What can I do? I can’t…”

The sky exploded, and thunder flashed past Gu Chao's second sentence.

He lowered his head, put his big hands on his eyes, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.

 Xie Jinghong has always longed to see Wei Lan, and it was difficult for him to accept this situation.

 But things are already like this. If you continue to search, besides wasting time and making your mood even more depressed, what else can you get?

Xie Jinghong lowered his eyes, a deep look that did not suit his age appeared on his young face, "She didn't want you to go to Haishi at that time, right? But for you, she was afraid of blocking your way, so she let you go."

"She paid for this with her life. Are you going to let her down again?"

“Think about it, what does she want you to do? Or, what does she want to do?”

  “You have many choices, why do you have to choose the most useless one?”

 There were people coming and going at the train station, and the two of them were sitting side by side on the chairs on the steps.

As Xie Jinghong finished speaking, Gu Chaohou's back gradually straightened, and his depressed and depressed eyebrows that had long been suffering from guilt suddenly regained their strength and determination.

 Xie Jinghong is right.

 What Wei Xueliang said is right.

If it were Wei Lan, she would definitely not want to see him looking like a lost dog.
