Chapter 473: Someone died
After seeing the Gu family at the hospital entrance, Jiang Rong couldn't help but care about them.
Hearing him ask about the Gu family, Mrs. Jiang glanced lightly at the son who had disappointed her so much.
"Why are you asking about this?"
Jiang Rong's expression was paranoid, "I want to know."
He said word by word.
Mrs. Jiang pulled the corners of her mouth, "What if you know? You haven't been on the same path for a long time. Jiang Rong, from the moment you gave up the path your father and I arranged for you and insisted on getting entangled with that jinx Lu Baozhen, you lost the qualification to compare with Gu Zhiyu and Gu Zhihang."
"Now you..." She shook her head, her expression unable to hide her disappointment, "don't even have the weight to be discussed together with them. This is your choice; you have to accept it."
After Jiang Rong was ruined, Mrs. Jiang and her husband decisively had a second child. Now that the second one is at a time when people need to spend effort, the attention the eldest, Jiang Rong, can get is truly not much.
"I don't want to hear this!" Jiang Rong's tone was stiff, "You know what I want to know!"
Mrs. Jiang frowned, knowing she couldn't not speak, so she said: "I heard Gu Zhi Yao is getting married. The person she is marrying is that young master from Chief Ning's family."
"Ning Xiao?" Jiang Rong felt stuffy in his heart, unable to tell if it was jealousy or what?
"Yes." Mrs. Jiang was quite emotional, "Ning Xiao and Gu Zhi Yao grew up together, childhood sweethearts, and their families are well-matched; they are truly a perfect match."
These words were pointing at Jiang Rong, mocking him for marrying a wife who had no benefit to him at all, but instead dragged him back everywhere.
Jiang Rong heard it, his face black as ink.
Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang froze for a moment and didn't speak again.
She could see that Jiang Rong regretted it, but what could be done? There is no regret medicine in this world. A few years passed, even if he wanted to walk the path of rising to the top that they arranged again, it was too late.
Jiang Rong knew it too.
He left in a daze.
The clothes on his body were wrinkled, like a down-and-out little chicken.
He unknowingly entered a restaurant, ordered wine, and drank cup after cup.
Drank until he lost his reason.
Wine is truly a good thing; after drinking it, he couldn't remember any troubles.
However.
There is always a time to wake up from wine.
After Jiang Rong woke up from the wine, his mind was clearer than ever before. He didn't persuade Lu Baozhen to keep the child again, but instead focused his attention on Gu Zhi Yao.
When he was drunk, he had a dream, an incomparably beautiful dream, in which Gu Zhi Yao was deeply in love with him.
No matter what he did, she always followed behind him, silently being good to him, admiring him against the world, and even more, because of her, Gu Zhiyu and Gu Zhihang also... followed his lead.
That feeling was truly wonderful.
On the day of Gu Zhi Yao's wedding, Jiang Rong came uninvited.
He didn't have an invitation and couldn't get into the venue. Relying on being able to say the names of the Gu family members, he let the staff at the door go in to find Gu Zhihang, saying that a guest without an invitation came outside, but this person could say the boss's name.
Gu Zhihang raised his eyebrows, "What's his name?"
"He said his name is Jiang Rong."
"Jiang Rong..."
Gu Zhihang had a premonition that it was him, not expecting the guess to be correct.
Beside him, Gu Zhiyu spoke up, "Jiang Rong is here? Let him in, why wasn't an invitation mailed to him."
Gu Zhihang couldn't say directly that he couldn't stand Jiang Rong; it was already good enough not to retaliate against him.
Considering that his eldest brother didn't know anything and had a childhood friendship with Jiang Rong, he had to find a random reason.
"Didn't he marry Lu Baozhen? I was afraid that if I sent him an invitation, he would bring Lu Baozhen along. Eldest brother also knows that Lu Baozhen is full of bad intentions. What if she does something indecent at Zhiyao's wedding?"
Gu Zhiyu felt that his second brother's consideration was very reasonable and said: "You considered it very thoroughly; it was I who misunderstood you."
"It's okay, I'll go out to pick up Jiang Rong. Brother, you greet people here." Gu Zhihang said and went out to pick up the "enemy".
The moment he saw Jiang Rong, he felt a strong sense of incongruity.
What's going on with Jiang Rong, it seems... he has had some experiences.
Gu Zhihang narrowed his eyes, as if he hadn't noticed anything, walked over, his eyes apologetic, "Seeing you in Haicheng, I was afraid it would be troublesome for you to ask for leave, so I didn't send you an invitation. Didn't expect you to come in your busy schedule; it makes us look like we don't know the etiquette... I'll treat you to a meal another day as an apology, hope you're not angry."
What else could Jiang Rong say.
He stretched the suit on his body, hoping to be decent, and smiled politely, "Not angry, instead it's me, coming uninvited, hope I didn't disturb your mood."
"How could that be." Gu Zhihang took him into the venue, saying casually, "Eldest brother just scolded me severely, saying that no matter what, I shouldn't have failed to mail an invitation; it was too rude..."
Jiang Rong smiled, "I understand, we've known each other since childhood, I still know what kind of people you are. Don't worry, I won't take it to heart."
He was talking, but his eyes were looking around everywhere.
Gu Zhihang's peripheral vision had been falling on Jiang Rong, probing his intention. When he saw his gaze fixed on his sister with that fiery look, he could almost conclude that this person had an encounter.
Temporarily don't know what it is, but it can be seen that Jiang Rong has bad intentions toward Zhiyao.
Cold light flashed across the bottom of Gu Zhihang's eyes.
Jiang Rong had better not do anything that makes him unhappy, otherwise...
He originally had fire in his heart.
Jiang Rong was not a stupid person after all, knowing what day it was today, he sat with other guests, watching the pair of newcomers on the stage accepting everyone's blessings with happy smiles on their faces.
He was jealous to death in his heart, but on the surface, he had a smiling face and applauded with everyone.
Ning Xiao...
Jiang Rong hated in his heart.
Gu Zhihang glanced at Jiang Rong from time to time, occasionally capturing the unwillingness in his eyes, and sneered.
Gu Zhiyu noticed Gu Zhihang's heart was not settled and couldn't help but look at him, "Do you have hemorrhoids?"
"..."
"No." Gu Zhihang's expression was speechless, "Brother, don't curse me."
"Then sit straight, don't move around, there are photographers and videographers." Gu Zhiyu reminded.
Hearing this, Gu Zhihang, who had an idol burden, sat up immediately.
Gu Zhiyu saw it from the corner of his eye, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked.
Gu Zhi Yao's wedding was held very grandly. Many of Gu Chenghuai's comrades and colleagues were present, that whole family of the Gu family came, and most of the Lin family also came...
The hotel was bustling with noise and excitement, almost the highest-standard wedding the master of ceremonies had ever seen.
He even saw big figures he was lucky enough to see only on TV. This wedding was enough for him to brag about for a lifetime.
Lin Zhao watched from under the stage as Gu Chenghuai handed his daughter's hand to Ning Xiao. On such an occasion, his emotions were still stable, and his face was calm as Mount Tai collapsing without changing color.
He held the microphone and said: "Zhiyao is the apple of my eye. She has never suffered any grievances at home. I hope she won't suffer any grievances after marrying you, otherwise..."
Gu Chenghuai paused, didn't say the unpleasant words, smiled lightly, "Today is a happy event, let's not talk about other things. Ning Xiao, Zhiyao, I hope you will be considerate of each other in the future and live your lives well."
This is a father's most simple wish.
Ning Xiao stood straight, saluted, his expression firm, "Don't worry, I will cherish Zhiyao, be loyal to her, and protect her just like guarding the country, never leaving her for a lifetime."
Gu Chenghuai patted his shoulder and stepped off the stage.
After he sat back in his seat, Lin Zhao took his hand and interlaced her fingers with his.
The children are flying higher and further, fortunately, they have each other.
Gu Zhi Yao just got married, Ning Xiao has wedding leave, and the two live in the wedding room prepared by Chief Ning for the couple. It is a newly built high-rise, a large flat floor, more than 300 square meters, with all kinds of furniture inside.
The daughter left home, Lin Zhao was very unaccustomed to it. Occasionally, when she made something delicious, she would subconsciously call Yaobao, but unfortunately, she couldn't wait for a response. The loss of calling and no one responding filled her heart, making people extremely unaccustomed.
Lin Zhao simply moved to live in the military area.
Gu Chenghuai returned home from the office, saw his wife, and the corners of his mouth raised, "Not used to it?"
He walked over, naturally hugged Lin Zhao, his low voice stained with a smile, "Know my importance now?"
"Hmm, I know." Lin Zhao leaned her head on the man's broad shoulders, "You are so important, I feel very at ease with you here, you must take good care of yourself."
Hearing this in Gu Chenghuai's ears, it was his wife doubting him.
His right arm exerted force, picked up Lin Zhao, placed her on his lap, and said seriously: "Doubt anything, but don't doubt your man's physical strength."
Lin Zhao's expression was slightly awkward.
Who said this.
Old married couple, there is no such thing as shyness.
Pushing away Gu Chenghuai who leaned over to kiss her face, Lin Zhao was disgusted, "Why is there a smell of smoke on you, it's stinking to death."
Gu Chenghuai hurriedly let go of his wife, stayed far away from her, took off his coat, and complained: "Those animals were smoking in the office again."
"I'll go wash." He walked quickly toward the bathroom.
Lin Zhao pinched the clothes the man took off, picked them up, threw them into the washing machine, and soon, the rumbling sound of the washing machine started.
Gu Chenghuai didn't want Lin Zhao to be alone, so he finished his shower quickly and came out with a body of water vapor.
His short hair wasn't dripping, hanging half-dry, and looking at his face, he was at least five years younger.
"Hungry?" He sat next to Lin Zhao.
"Not hungry yet." Lin Zhao said.
"Then eat in a while." Gu Chenghuai said.
The troop's canteen had undergone a major upgrade, with a small kitchen specifically for entertaining leaders, and anyone could order if they went there, just pay money.
Lin Zhao heard the man's implication, thought of the sweet and sour pork tenderloin she ate last time, and her eyes lit up, "Okay."
Gu Chenghuai pinched Lin Zhao's fingers, looked at her and smiled, his mood also became better, he said: "You haven't been happy during this period, and I've also felt stuffy."
Lin Zhao believed this.
Gu Chenghuai could capture any of her emotions.
"I've adjusted, don't be stuffy anymore."
Gu Chenghuai laughed, "Okay, listen to you."
Lin Zhao leaned on his shoulder, the couple enjoying the rare peace. Having been busy back and forth for so many years, such days seemed rare.
"Hey, have you noticed that Zhihang and Jiang Rong are weird?"
Gu Chenghuai's tone was suspicious, "How weird?"
"Can't say, speaking in a strange tone, I feel like Zhihang has some opinions about Jiang Rong." Lin Zhao muttered, "Didn't they have a pretty good relationship when they were young."
She didn't like her sons and the twins being too close, but the two cubs seemed to have a good impression of Jiang Rong, and they played very well with him for a period of time.
"They are almost thirty years old, no need to worry." Gu Chenghuai said.
"Didn't want to worry, just curious." Lin Zhao said.
"Then I'll call and ask?" If his wife wants to know, of course, it's fulfilled.
"Forget it, Zhihang is grown up, has his own little secrets, let's not make the children unhappy." Lin Zhao said again.
What should be known will be known sooner or later.
Didn't ask this time, two months later, the couple knew, but it was learned from the Jiang family.
Mrs. Jiang called, first apologizing to Lin Zhao.
A series of words made Lin Zhao very puzzled.
"What is Sister-in-law Jiang saying, why can't I understand?"
Mrs. Jiang's expression was awkward, her tone careful and humble, "... Jiang Rong's spirit is somewhat abnormal, taking Zhiyao as his wife. He was confused by that bitch Lu Baozhen, now he knows he was wrong. For the sake of him knowing Gu Zhiyu and Gu Zhihang since childhood, forgive him this time."
"Jiang Rong took Zhiyao as his wife?" Lin Zhao frowned, greatly shocked, her voice stained with coldness, "What did he do?"
Mrs. Jiang didn't dare to hide it, honestly saying: "He, he went to pick up Zhiyao from work..."
She didn't dare to say that the matter made a big noise, even affecting Gu Zhi Yao's reputation.
Mrs. Jiang didn't say, but Lin Zhao could imagine, "Is Jiang Rong sick? If he's sick, send him to a mental hospital quickly, don't let him out to harm others! Which normal person can do this kind of thing? My daughter is already married, he attended the wedding, entangling like this regardless of everything, what grudge does my Yaobao have with him!"
"Forgive him? Can't forgive at all, it's already good that I don't pinch him to death."
After the words fell, she hung up the phone with a slap.
Mrs. Jiang's face was ugly.
She grabbed the things at hand and threw them at Jiang Rong.
"Who is bad to provoke, but you provoke Gu Zhi Yao. Is she someone you can provoke? If you cause trouble, you come to me. My face has been lost by you! Get out, I don't want to see you again."
Jiang Rong panicked, hurriedly said: "Mom, help me, I don't want to stay in the poor countryside for a lifetime..."
Mrs. Jiang shook off his hand, her eyes full of disappointment, "Everything today is your choice, can't blame your father and me. You've seen the Gu family's attitude, what can we do? If you dare to provoke Gu Zhi Yao, you should have expected that you would have such an end. Take care of yourself, don't make meaningless struggles."
After speaking, she left.
Jiang Rong clenched his hands, not knowing how he got to today's step.
He should have been an existence like a proud son of heaven, everyone clinging to him, worshiping him, instead of being like this now, like a stinking rat in a ditch.
Lu Baozhen returned to her maiden home and didn't know about this yet.
She was high-profile, causing many people to hate her, and there were always people calling to tell her.
Lu Baozhen was furious, immediately booked a ticket to return, and the first thing she did when she returned was to make a scene about divorce.
She was not too old or too young, if she planned well, it wasn't that she couldn't marry into a better family.
Jiang Rong knew he had no hope and firmly disagreed with the divorce.
He held Lu Baozhen's hand, his eyes crazy, "Divorce? Don't even think about it. Don't forget, this marriage was calculated by you. If it wasn't for your calculation, how could I have married you, and you deserve..."
Lu Baozhen didn't have a good temper either, kicking and biting, struggling hard.
The two fought into a ball.
Neighbors heard the movement next door and shook their heads one after another.
Started again.
This argument lasted a long time, until a bang came, and the sound stopped.
After that, someone saw Lu Baozhen, covered in blood, running out of the house in a hurry.
Neighbors called people to go over and see.
The Lu family door was not locked.
Several people pushed the door open and saw Jiang Rong lying in a pool of blood, life or death unknown.
"Something happened!! Someone died, come quickly." ===== CHAPTER 474 =====
