Chapter 104, the truth three years ago

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Dongfeng Hotel.

in the room.

Gu Qian leaned against the head of the bed, the sound of splashing water in the bathroom made him inexplicably restless.

Although the two were under the same roof in Lover's Island before, the penthouse suite has a large area, and the two are in different rooms.

But this time...

The area of ​​the entire twin room is only [-] square meters.

After half an hour.

The bathroom door reopened.

Wrapped in a bath towel, Jiang Li came out of the bathroom with her arms folded, her wet hair coiled up, and there were wet spots on her fair shoulders.

"Doesn't this hotel even have bathrobes?"

Jiang Li frowned slightly, looked at Gu Qian who was leaning on the bed, and glared again: "Don't look around, turn around!"

"Oh."

Gu Qian snorted and turned sideways obediently.

Jiang Li got under the quilt of another bed, plugged the hair dryer into the socket at the head of the bed, and dried her hair on her own.

Neither of them spoke.

The sound of the hair dryer is extraordinarily noisy in a small room.

"Cough...do you need my help?"

Gu Qian coughed in embarrassment, and asked tentatively.

Jiang Li turned her head and glanced at Gu Qian, and found that the other party was still obediently turning her back to her, so she said, "No, you can't even get off the bed with your legs."

Gu Qian: "..."

10 minutes later.

Jiang Li's long hair was almost dry. She glanced at Gu Qian who was facing away from her the whole time, and said in a neutral tone, "You can turn around now."

"Oh."

Gu Qian turned his head.

Jiang Li, however, looked at the other party, and while arranging her long hair, she casually asked, "My life experience...Jiang Yue told you?"

"No."

"Then how did you find Qi County?"

"That night on Lover's Island, you said drunken words when you kissed me forcibly after drinking." Gu Qian confessed with embellishment.

"Cough... what did I say that night?"

"You said someone."

"Who?"

"Tong Ma."

Hear these two words.

Jiang Li was speechless all of a sudden, a surge of sadness welled up in her heart, and she still can't forget the old man who told her to eat well and live well when she was dying.

"I visited the Lantian Welfare Home this afternoon, and I also went to pay homage to the old man's tombstone in Houshan."

Gu Qian said in a gentle voice: "Master Tong is a respectable old man."

Jiang Li didn't speak.

Gu Qian continued to comfort him in a warm voice: "Can you tell me about the past? Tell me, it should make you feel better."

long silence.

Jiang Li glanced at Gu Qian, her eyes were a little red, and she waited for a long time before she said: "Tong Mama said she rescued me from the hands of human traffickers, but I can't remember the past."

"I just remember that I grew up in the Lantian Welfare Institute. Later, Jiang Zhenguo and his wife came to the orphanage. They said they had no children and wanted to adopt a child home. At that time, they immediately fell in love with me."

"Mother Tong investigated the situation of Jiang's family and agreed if there was no problem."

Gu Qian listened carefully: "The Jiang family in City A doesn't treat you well, right?"

"When I first arrived at Jiang's house, Jiang Zhenguo and his wife treated me very well."

Jiang Li lowered her head and said to herself: "But after Jiang Yue was born, I became an outsider of the Jiang family. In fact, I can understand it. After all, I am not the biological daughter of the Jiang family. They love Jiang Yue even more. As it should be."

"So then I sneaked back to the orphanage alone, and I was actually brought up by Tong Ma."

Gu Qian frowned slightly and asked: "Then the Jiang family has been hiding this news?"

Before investigating this matter carefully, he had always thought that Jiang Li was the biological daughter of the Jiang family, and no one had ever doubted this.

"The Jiang family gave the orphanage a large amount of money, which is the so-called 'hush money'. After all, it is not a big scandal for the Jiang family to spread the news of adopting a child."

Gu Qian nodded slightly, understanding the cause and effect.

"So when you were in college, your work-study program was actually to send money to the orphanage?"

"Ah."

Jiang Li hummed softly, her eyes were red: "Tong Mama is getting older, she can't support so many younger siblings in the orphanage by herself."

"Later, in the year of graduation, Tong's mother went to the hospital."

Jiang Li's words were a little choked up: "At that time, the doctor said that the organs were failing, and an organ transplant was needed, and a large surgical fee was required."

"You can contact me at that time..."

Gu Qian subconsciously opened his mouth, but he stopped in the middle of the conversation.

An extremely bad premonition welled up in his heart, making him inexplicably feel a burst of palpitations.

Gu Qian looked at Jiang Li, and asked cautiously: "On the night of Jiang's birthday party, you called me... because of this?"

"Ah."

Jiang Li gave a shallow hum, tears rolled down her cheeks unconsciously, and her voice began to tremble uncontrollably: "At that time, I took out all the money I earned from part-time jobs, and I also bought everything that could be bought in the orphanage. , but it's still not enough..."

"I didn't meet any new friends in college, and the relationship with my roommate was not very good. I only called you that night, and I called for a long time...but you didn't answer it once."

Jiang Li didn't continue talking.

The room was very quiet, eerily quiet.

Gu Qian opened his mouth slightly, but no sound could come out of his throat. A feeling of suffocation spread all over his body, and he was almost out of breath.

Silent for a long time.

Jiang Li wiped the tears on her cheeks with toilet paper, and took a long breath: "That night, you were attending Jiang Zhenguo's birthday party, right?"

"Yes Yes."

Gu Qian admitted with a trembling voice: "Jiang's invitation, I thought you would be there too, so I prepared a grand congratulatory gift to go to the banquet, I didn't expect..."

"Did they drink you?"

"You... how do you know?"

Gu Qian still remembered that he went to Jiang's family for a banquet full of joy that night, prepared a generous gift, and planned to propose to Jiang Li at the banquet in front of all the relatives and friends of Jiang's family.

But that day he was dragged by the Jiang family to drink a lot of alcohol.

When I woke up the next day, there were only a dozen missed calls and a cold breakup letter left on my phone.

"Guess."

After Jiang Li took a long breath, she looked at Gu Qian and forced a smile: "You know what? The next day Jiang Yue sent me a picture of the congratulatory gift you gave me. The value of those congratulatory gifts is worth more than Tongma's surgery fee." Expensive."

"I'm sorry..."

Gu Qian's words were choked with sobs, his whole body was weak, the truth seemed to have taken away his entire soul with a big hand.

"It's okay, I know you didn't mean it."

Jiang Li shrank her legs slightly, put her arms around her knees, and her voice became softer and softer: "Over the years, I have been unable to forgive...it is actually myself."
