"Chen Lai, Chen Lai, are you inside? Chen Lai, open the door!"

Gu Yan chased all the way, but Chen Lai could not be seen in the huge park. The first thing he thought of was to go to the apartment where Chen Lai rented in the past. Maybe someone was still there.

His guess was correct, Chen Lai was indeed sitting alone on the sofa in the living room of his small apartment, listening to Gu Yan's persistent knock on the door.

She seemed to have foreseen her current situation a long time ago. The day she moved out of her small apartment, she extended the rent for a year, always thinking about one day she could come back to live there.

Because this small place is what she considers to be her own little home in City C, where she feels safe and secure.

Gu Yan knocked on the door for a long time, but finally got tired of knocking and his voice became hoarse.

With his hands on his hips, he walked around twice in front of Chen Lai's apartment, then took out his cell phone and dialed Chen Lai's number again.

Chen Lai went inside and continued to sit in a daze, but he was startled by a rapid ringing of his cell phone.

She quickly came to her senses and hurriedly muted her cell phone. However, Gu Yan, who was found to be acting fishy, ​​was caught and he was even more reluctant to leave.

Soon, he started a new round of banging on the door.

"Chen Lai, Chen Lai, open the door. Let's have a good talk, okay? I know you are inside! If you don't open the door today, I won't leave and will sleep at the door. I will do what I say!"

Under this situation, Gu Yan brought his shameless spirit to the extreme.

The old man actually pulled down his pants and sat down on the ground, leaning against the door of Chen Lai's house and sitting quietly waiting for someone to open the door for him.

Let's just rub it hard and soak it hard. The key is that his mouth still keeps opening.

"Chen Lai, are you hungry? I heard that a new Cantonese restaurant has opened. The chef used to cook state banquets. Do you want to try it together?"

"Wow, I searched on the software, and they are all your favorites, white chicken, Shacha beef, sweet and sour pork, jade shrimp, crystal dumplings, barbecued pork, milk mango dumplings, red bean double skin milk..."

"Are you practicing naming the dishes here? Are you ready to talk about cross talk?"

The door finally opened, and Gu Yan lost his support and leaned on Chen Lai's legs.

"Hehe, as long as my wife opens her mouth, I can also learn cross talk to relieve your boredom every day."

He sat with a playful smile on his face, hugging Chen Lai's thigh, like a sloth.

"Come in and talk, my neighbor will come back from get off work later and complain that I'm disturbing the residents again."

"Let's see who dares to say that I, Old Lu, am disturbing the people!"

"You are the one disturbing the people! Stop crying like ghosts and howling like wolves. Let's go."

"oh oh."

As long as Chen Lai opens the door, it means there is still room for discussion.

Although he couldn't figure out why Chen Lai suddenly ran away at the critical moment of his proposal, he firmly believed that Chen Lai had his own reasons.

"Ring, did you find it?"

The two people sat opposite each other, Chen Lai used a pillow to support his heavy waist.

"No, I just came here to chase you. I didn't even bother to go back and look for you carefully."

"But it doesn't matter. We have reserved that area a long time ago. The park staff will send people to search for it inch by inch. We will always find it."

Gu Yan was not used to two people being separated like this, so he stood up and sat on a small matching sofa near Chen Lai, holding her hand without letting go.

Chen Lai just let him go and didn't push him away.

"If you find it, just keep it for yourself. I can't afford such a valuable thing."

"Why can't you afford this? You are my daughter-in-law, Gu Yan. No matter how precious the thing is in this world, you can afford it, not to mention that it was passed down from my mother to my daughter-in-law."

"Your mother?"

"Yes, my mother started from scratch with my father. She was also a very simple person. For her birthday that year, Gu Jianxin gave her a blue diamond ring. She was reluctant to wear it until she was seriously ill in bed.

We two brothers went to the bedside and passed this to me, saying it was to be passed on to my future wife."

Gu Yan looked sincere.

"My wife is you, so if I don't give it to you, who else can I give it to?"

"What do you think Gu Jianxin meant when he gave this thing to your mother as a birthday gift?"

"What?"

Chen Lai's incomprehensible question stopped Gu Yan. He had never considered this issue before.

Looking back carefully, for so many years, my mother has been considerate of the family and did not allow Gu Jianxin to spend money on holidays and birthdays. Later, after the family's conditions completely improved, Gu Jianxin completely forgot about the hard work that he had to give himself for so many years.

How about giving your wife one or two decent gifts, even if it is a rose, even if it is a decent dress?

It was not until the time of her mother's burial that the eldest brother Yu Xin had the heart to custom-make a white couture silk skirt for her mother to put on carefully so that she could walk with dignity.

"Your mother is simple and unwilling to spend more of Gu Jianxin's money. Naturally, there are people outside who are spending a lot of money."

"I have specifically checked that sapphire not only symbolizes loyalty in love, but also because of its purity, it can withstand disease and misfortune, and it can also protect people from jealousy."

Chen Lai opened the search page on his mobile phone and handed it to Gu Yan for him to read.

Gu Yan frowned, lowered his head and scrolled through the information, thinking carefully, still puzzled.

"You mean, Gu Jianxin gave this ring with special intentions and thoughts?"

"Have you ever considered that there are other reasons for your mother's illness?"

"What's the meaning?"

Gu Yan was even more confused after listening to Chen Lai's story.

Chen Lai sighed, thought for a while, and tentatively revealed his latest "special function" that he found incredible.

"Maybe, and I mean maybe, I can see some truth."

"ah?"

Gu Yan was stunned. He couldn't understand what Chen Lai was talking about.

"I know, this sounds ridiculous, but I can really see some things that you can't see."

She tried her best to make Gu Yan believe her story.

Because in Gu Zhai, she has seen those strange visions more than once, but every time she comforts herself that they are fake and just dreams, she always feels that those dreams are extremely real. The next second they become real, she will also

Being pulled closer to the vortex on the roof.

And every time these nightmares end, some strange thoughts will appear in her mind.

For example, about that ring.

"Also," she raised her head and finally lowered her face, planning to question what Gu Pianpian told her, "you and Gu Yian have been deliberately indulging Gu Pianpian for so many years, making her become the arrogant and unreasonable person she is today.

Isn’t it?”

Her words were suddenly as cold as an ice knife, and the knife pierced Gu Yan's heart.

"It's been more than ten years, and your original intention of killing people has never changed. Although her mother was at fault, is this only the fault of the woman? Isn't Gu Jianxin like a normal person, living a happy life and having a lover?

A good reputation as a wife who takes care of her destiny?”
