Still Explosive

Gu Ming is not as ruthless as the gossip rumors say - cheating, forcing his wife to death, letting the mistress and illegitimate son swagger into the house, marginalizing his own son, perfectly interpreting the saying "if there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather".

On the contrary, Gu Ming’s life can be said to be living in the shadow of Gu Qing’an. Gu Qing’an started from scratch, has courage and talent, and his work style was very aggressive and strong when he was young. Over time, he brought this style to the family. Grandma Gu Yu died of illness Early, Gu Qingan never remarried in his life, so he pulled Gu Ming up.

At that time, when the Gu Group was expanding its business territory, Gu Qingan had no time to take care of Gu Ming, and he could not even listen to him patiently. , but he was stingy to pay his father's love, and there was only one requirement for Gu Ming, and that was to be obedient.

If you listen, you can get everything. From small to basic, to marrying a wife and having children, Gu Qing arranged everything for him. Under the long-term high-pressure education policy, Gu Ming gradually became cowardly and silent.

Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance. The conflict finally broke out when Gu Qingan asked him to marry another girl from a scholarly family.

Gu Ming blushed and clenched his neck and shouted, "Why do you have to listen to everything? Marriage is a major event in life, can you let me be the master?"

At that time, Gu Qingan had just passed the Year of Destiny, and he was sitting on the Gu family, which was regarded as the mainstay by the Yangcheng government. He spoke with full of energy: "I am your father, can I harm you? Youngest daughter of the Jiang family, you. I've seen it before, she's knowledgeable and gentle, and she's a good candidate for a wife."

"Can marriage be hasty? How can you get married without feelings? Have you ever thought about it for me?"

Gu Qingan raised his voice: "Naughty, you are my only son of Gu Qingan, and the only successor to the Gu family. Some things are inherently involuntary. Born in the Gu family, you must focus on the overall situation!"

"Does the overall situation matter at the expense of personal happiness? What's the point of such a life?" Gu Ming seemed to use up all his strength, throwing out these words and rushing out.

Gu Qingan was so angry that he swept the cup on the coffee table to the ground, and his subordinates rushed forward to ask if they needed to send someone to stare at Gu Ming. He waved his hand: "No, let him reflect on himself!"

Gu Ming went out of the house, wandered aimlessly on the street, and walked to a dance hall, which was a very fashionable place in the 1980s. Gu Ming is usually followed by people when he goes out, and even what he does is reported to Gu Qingan. He has never had a chance to go in and take a look. That day, he walked in unexpectedly.

On that day, he met Meng Huaizhen. At that time, Meng Huaizhen was in her early twenties and was working as a waiter in a dance hall. Gu Ming, who was slightly drunk, couldn't take his eyes off the first time he saw her.

What followed was a cliché one|night|love story. The two spent one night. The next day, Gu Ming woke up and regretted it, but Meng Huaizhen took the initiative to say that it had never happened, and went with him casually. goodbye.

Gu Ming thought about it for a long time that day, and finally returned to Gu's house, because he finally understood that without the Gu family and without Gu Qingan, he was nothing. He had lived for more than 20 years, and the greatest glory was given to him by Gu Qingan.

Gu Ming began to meet Jiang Shu according to the plan of taking care of Qing An. He did not expect Jiang Shu to be a gentle and virtuous girl. After several contacts, Gu Ming really fell in love with her, and their relationship grew day by day. and got married the following year.

The married life was happy and peaceful. With Gu Yu, the family of three was happy and happy. The Gu family had successors, and Gu Qingan was even more overjoyed.

At that time, the media and news were not developed, and the lives of the Gu family members were like a mystery to ordinary people. Until one day, a reporter who followed them for a long time photographed Gu Ming and Jiang Shu at the school gate to pick up Gu Yu after school. The news is attached below. Shang Gu Yu ran out of the school gate, while Gu Ming held Jiang Shu's shoulder and waited for the photo outside the gate.

It looks like a happy family, really enviable family.

The pixels of the photo are not high, but Meng Huaizhen could see at a glance that the man who was said to be the general manager of the Gu Group once spent a good night with her.

Meng Huaizhen looked around the cramped staff dormitory where she lived, and her son's white-washed sneakers standing in the corner, and threw the newspaper in her hand on the ground.

Different from Jiang Shu's family background, she had no parents and no mother, dropped out of school early, and worked many jobs as a dance hall waiter and beer salesman. After giving birth to a child, her life was even more difficult.

Meng Huaizhen looked for the big brother she knew on the road, and sent the news to Gu Ming around the corner.

It happened before his marriage, and now Gu Yu is in elementary school. If it wasn't for this sudden information, Gu Ming would have almost forgotten about it. He would doubt it, think twice, and decide to go to the appointment.

On the day of the interview, Gu Ming recognized at a glance that the woman opposite was the one from that year. When Meng Huaizhen handed over the child's photo, he looked at the child in the photo with similar eyebrows and eyes, and he panicked instantly.

He knew how much this incident would affect his family and the Gu family, so he subconsciously told Meng Huaizhen not to tell others.

Gu Ming began to send money to Meng Huaizhen's house, change houses, and find a school for his child. He believed that, as a father, he could not help but take responsibility for this child.

But Gu Ming didn't know that Meng Huaizhen wanted more than this. She changed the child's name from Meng Lang to Gu Lang, and after finding out the news, she stopped Jiang Shu when she was shopping.

When Jiang Shu came back that day, she sat on the sofa for a long time, and didn't even hear Gu Yu coming back to say hello to her. At night, when Gu Yu was about to sleep, she heard Jiang Shu's suppressed crying from her parents' room: "How can you do this? Do? Are you worthy of me? Are you worthy of Xiaoyu?"

Gu Yu jumped out of bed, stood at the door of Gu Ming and Jiang Shu's room, and heard Gu Ming's anxious and irritable voice: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really don't know..."

The young Gu Yu thought it was just an ordinary quarrel. Although there have been few quarrels between parents over the years, it is not that there have been any quarrels. He adhered to the principle of "children can't participate in the affairs of their parents", and went back to sleep after standing in front of the door for a while.

But he didn't know that from that day on, fate stretched out that omnipotent hand and turned his world upside down.

The fact that her husband had an illegitimate child outside was a huge blow to Jiang Shu, who had a smooth life and regarded her husband and children as the world. She began to feel depressed and suspicious. As long as Gu Ming came back from get off work late, she would be restless, and as soon as she saw Gu Yu She would cry, and Gu Yu didn’t even say the reason when she asked her. All she thought about was why life was so unfair to me.

The cowardly Gu Ming had never experienced such a difficult situation. He dared not tell Gu Qingan that he was caught between two women every day and didn't know what to do. Rationally, he would definitely choose Jiang Shu and Gu Yu, but he thought Gu Lang It is also his child. He has suffered so much outside these years. There is no reason for the children to bear the mistakes of the adults.

A few months passed, and the atmosphere at home became more and more solemn. Jiang Shu was diagnosed with depression and started taking medicine.

Gu Mingqian promised that he would never meet Meng Huaizhen again, but he lied. On that day, Meng Huaizhen planned to trick Gu Ming out of the meeting, and told Jiang Shu about it. When they met in the restaurant, Jiang Shu saw.

Desperately, Jiang Shu committed suicide by swallowing sleeping pills.

Only then did Gu Ming confessed all this to Gu Qingan and Gu Yu. For many years after that, when Gu Yu recalled that day, he always felt that it was a dream. Ming knelt in front of him, his grief face opened and closed, he seemed to have lost his ability to think, and he couldn't understand every word Gu Ming said.

Gu Ming said, "It's my fault, it's me who hurt Xiaoshu..."

Gu Qingan was so angry that he picked up his cane and beat him: "You are confused, how can you be at the mercy of a woman outside who doesn't know where she came from! How can I explain to the Jiang family!"

Gu Qingan was trembling with anger. He pointed at Gu Ming and burst into tears: "You made Xiaoyu lose her mother, he is only 14 years old!"

Gu Ming stood up and hugged Gu Yu suddenly, Gu Yu was staggered by him, Gu Ming's tears fell on Gu Yu's hair, cool, Gu Ming: "Xiaoyu, it's my father's fault, It's my father's fault, can you forgive my father, okay?"

Gu Yu pushed Gu Ming away with all his strength, and walked out without even looking at him.

Gu Yu moved to his grandfather's house and never went home or talked to Gu Ming. The father and son officially broke up.

Two years later, Meng Huaizhen and Gu Lang moved to his former home. Gu Qingan, who got the news, was so angry that he was speechless. The 16-year-old Gu Yu said to Gu Qingan with firm eyes: "Grandpa, don't worry, what belongs to the Gu family, I won't give him a penny." He gritted his back molars: "Just wait until I grow up."

Gu Ming didn't wait for him to grow up. To be exact, Meng Huaizhen and Gu Lang didn't wait for him to grow up. When he came back from abroad after graduating from university, he realized that Gu Lang was already in a high position and mastered all the important businesses of the Gu family. Become Gu Ming's confidant.

That day, Gu Yu knelt in front of Jiang Shu's tomb all night.

Gu Yu lay on the bed, watching the little moonlight shining through the gaps in the dark blue curtains, closed his eyes, and fell asleep, unable to think about his memories, he has more important things to do tomorrow.

Gu Yu had a dream. In the dream, he was drinking in a bar and was arguing with Song Heng and the others. When the phone rang, he picked it up and saw that it was Gu Ming. In the two years since he returned to China, Gu Ming tried to save his father and son several times. Gu Yu didn't give him a chance. He hung up the phone without hesitation. After a while, Gu Ming called again. Gu Yu frowned and picked it up. Before he had a seizure, he heard Gu Ming's flustered tone. Said: "Xiaoyu, I want to tell you a piece of news, very important news, you, your brother..."

The demons around Gu Yu danced wildly, unable to hear what Gu Ming was saying. Hearing Gu Lang's name vaguely, Gu Yu's half-closed eyes opened quickly. He walked out of the box and leaned against the wall of the corridor. There was also a lot of noise from Gu Ming's side. .

Gu Yu frowned and asked, "What did you just say?"

Gu Ming's voice was intermittent, and he said loudly: "Go to me, the office..., your brother..."

Gu Yu's heart suddenly beat very fast. He had a hunch that Gu Ming would tell him some very important news. He waited patiently, waiting for Gu Ming to make less noise.

It's just that he could never wait. Half a minute later, there was a loud noise on the other end of the phone, so loud that it almost shattered Gu Yu's eardrums through the phone.

Gu Yu's whole body's blood rushed to the top of his head. He clenched the phone tightly, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "Dad? Dad! What's wrong with you? You talk!"

Since Jiang Shu's death, Gu Ming has never heard Gu Yu call him "Dad" again.

He will never hear it again.

Gu Ming died in a car accident that day, and this phone call to Gu Yu was his last voice in the world.
