Gu Yu was taken away by his father and mother who had rushed over. Looking at the backs of the three people leaving, Su Minghua narrowed his eyes.

He had specifically investigated this Gu Yu back then, and the result he found out was that he had been dependent on his grandmother since childhood.

Because of this, he was no less kind to Gu Yu than Su Huai, and thinking that the child was pitiful, he was willing to help Gu Yu more.

Unconditional kindness was taken for granted, so in Su Minghua's eyes later, Gu Yu was just a bastard who wanted to climb up the social ladder, so his reaction just now was so big.

But seeing the intimate attitude of the Gu couple towards her, she couldn't help but wonder when did Gu Yu become involved with this couple?

Gu Yu...

Also surnamed Gu...

A bold guess came to Su Minghua's mind.

Before I could think about it, I felt a pat on my shoulder, followed by a puzzled voice.

"What are you standing here for? Who are you looking at?"

Su Huai finished the operation and didn't even have time to change her clothes. She hurried back to the office, only to see her father standing at the door looking out stupidly.

Following his gaze, there was nothing in the corridor except the nurses hurrying by.

"Nothing, nothing. I just saw a partner and said hello to him."

Su Minghua subconsciously wanted to hide the fact that he met Gu Yu. He didn't want Su Huai to remember the sad things in the past.

But the more he tried to cover up his crime, the more suspicious Su Huai became.

"you sure?"

"Why don't you go and make sure? Okay, okay, let's go to the supermarket to buy some food. I want to eat the braised prawns you made tonight."

It is rare in the world that a father asks his daughter to cook for him.

But it doesn't seem surprising that it happened to such an unreliable person like Su Minghua.

In the past, he was busy inspecting construction sites and having meals with investors all day long, so there was no one at home to take care of Su Huai. Su Huai had to be self-reliant, and thus he developed excellent cooking skills.

Coming out of the supermarket, Su Minghua was carrying bags of various sizes, with a very happy smile on his face.

Ever since Su Huai went to the capital to attend university, the father and daughter have rarely had such leisure time.

For him, a daughter-lover, this incident was not entirely a bad thing. At least he got to spend some free time with his daughter.

At the dinner table, Su Huai served four or five sumptuous dishes, and Su Minghua ate with great relish.

In order not to spoil his mood, Su Huai also ate a lot.

But happy times are short after all, and it is impossible for people to be idealistic all their lives.

There are some things they must face together——

"How do the families of the deceased want compensation?"

Su Huai gently placed the cut fruit plate in front of Su Minghua, and sat cross-legged on the sofa on the other side.

"Paying compensation is a small matter. Now someone from higher up is trying to punish me. They're not letting this go. If the situation continues like this, jail time is inevitable."

Su Minghua clenched his teeth and his temples moved again and again.

Compared to him, Su Huai was much more relaxed. She stood up, picked up a small piece of watermelon and put it into her mouth. The fresh and refreshing flesh burst in her mouth, and a look of satisfaction appeared between her brows.

"Did the shoddy workmanship come to light during the police investigation? Or did your subordinates report it themselves?"

"Of course, those guys must have framed me. When the police came to investigate, we were questioned separately. After the questioning, they took me away without saying a word and asked me..."

Su Minghua thought for a few seconds before continuing, "When asked if I cut corners, I said no. Those materials were purchased from qualified companies, and the purchase records are still there."

Su Huai nodded, his expression gradually becoming serious.

What if this was a premeditated betrayal?

Seeing that his daughter looked helpless, Su Minghua couldn't help but sigh.

"My company's operating license has also been revoked, and many shareholders have started selling their shares. If this continues, I will go bankrupt sooner or later."

Su Minghua's company is not small. He has developed many mid- and low-end residential buildings and shopping malls in Yongdong. Although it is not as big as a business giant like the Gu family, its annual profit can reach nearly 100 million yuan.

"Don't think about it for now. Wait until the police finish their investigation."

After talking to her father for a few more words, Su Huai received a notice from the hospital asking her to rush back for a consultation.

The father and daughter exchanged a glance, and Su Minghua was extremely impatient: "Go away, go away. You are busy with that boring work all day long. I don't think your hospital will be able to transfer without you!"

He walked upstairs with his hands waving, his back showing anger.

Su Huai smiled helplessly, but felt guilty in his heart.

Her father wanted her to study finance so that she could take over the family company when she grew up, but she insisted on studying medicine. In the end, Father Su didn't say anything and let her go.

Now that something happened at home, she couldn't just stand by and watch.

Thinking of the agreement that Gu's mother gave her, Su Huai opened the car door and looked back at the house where she had lived since she was a child, her expression dazed.

*

After Gu Yu came back, he locked himself in the bathroom and remained unmoved no matter how people outside shouted at him.

She squatted in the corner, biting her wrist tightly with her teeth, and tears flowed down her face.

The cramping pain in her heart and the tearing sensation in the back of her head were nothing compared to the pain of her heart being cut into pieces by a thousand knives. It was clear that not long ago she was still whispering in the ears of Su Huai, and all the beautiful scenes were vivid in her mind, but they all vanished into thin air after she woke up.

So it was all just a dream?

A mirage, a dream that only she still cares about.

Her lips had long been bitten to the point of leaving bloody marks, and the dry and itchy throat made her want to cough. The heart-wrenching movement was gone, but there was no longer the gentle person in her memory who hugged her and comforted her.

They agreed to go for a walk in the park together and return to Yongdong after graduating from university.

Back to Yongdong...

Gu Yu suddenly woke up, and she remembered that she had an agreement with Su Huai.

If they are admitted to different universities in the future, they will return to Yongdong to work together after graduation.

Now that Su Huai is working in Yongdong, does that mean...

Is she still in her heart?

The bathroom door was slowly pushed open, revealing Gu Yu's sickly, bloodless face.

Mother Gu's tears had long dried up. Her lips were trembling as she reached out to touch the bleeding corner of Gu Yu's mouth, but as expected, she was avoided.

Gu Yu didn't have the time to play out this boring melodrama with them, but his attitude was uncharacteristically awkward, and there was an indescribable feeling of awkwardness.

“Should I stay abroad to work after I graduate from university?”

Gu's father, who was supporting Gu's mother, was the first to react: "Yes... yes..."

“When did you return home?”

"last month."

"boom"

The door was closed again, so fast that the two elders had no time to stop it.

Then, intermittent crying sounds were heard from inside again.

At one point, Father Gu didn't even want Gu Yu to wake up. If he didn't wake up, would he not be so sad?

On the other side, Gu Yu squatted back in the corner in despair again.

All the speculations and truths converge into a vast ocean in my heart, and all the trivial details have reasons.

Why doesn't Su Huai want to see her? Why does Uncle Su hate her so much?

At this moment, a drizzle was falling outside the window. The balcony of Gu Yu's ward faced the famous Dongzi Mountain in Yongdong City. The shade of the trees shone through the small window in the bathroom.

There was only a buzzing in Gu Yu's ears.
