deep white secret

Chapter 102 Love Will Disappear
Ning Xia sat down and Gu Youmei wanted to pour water. Ning Xia stood up quickly to stop her:

"Don't bother, you don't have to greet me. Hu Jiatao told me something this morning. You also know that Xu Dan was killed."

Gu Youmei nodded.

"I don't know how to say these words. I think Hu Jiatao loves you and her father very much. Your divorce from Hu Siyang will be a big blow to her."

Gu Youmei looked very unhappy and shook her head:
"I don't want to get to this point. I didn't handle the relationship well and let the child get hurt."

Gu Youmei covered her eyes with one hand:
"I shouldn't cry. I have finished crying a long time ago, but when I think about my unhappy marriage, I am still sad. I have given Taotao everything I can think of to try to make it up to her."

Gu Youmei was very sad. She lowered her head and huddled her shoulders, looking haggard:
"But no matter how hard I tried to persuade him, it was useless. Taotao began to hate her father, and now her hatred has turned to Xu Dan."

Ning Xia didn't speak, and there was only the sound of cooking in the kitchen.

"Officer, can you tell me why Taotao came to find you?"

"On the day Xu Dan was killed, Hu Jiatao went to the scene."

"what!"

Gu Youmei's eyes widened:

"What did you say? She..."

"No, it's not what you think."

Gu Youmei nodded fiercely:

"Yeah, Taotao is still a child and can't understand what adults think. When she started to get divorced, she would still contact her father, but later ignored her father. Every time she went there, she would quarrel with Xu Dan, but Taotao would not Do something outrageous."

"That's why I came to you."

Ningxia handed a tissue to Gu Youmei:
"I also believe that Hu Jiatao didn't do anything, but she appeared at the scene of the crime. Also, she said that Xu Dan wanted a house. This is also the purpose of my coming to find you."

Gu Youmei breathed a sigh of relief:

"Yes, the house has completely chilled our relationship with Hu Siyang. Even now I don't know what to do."

Gu Youmei fell into silence.

Ningxia saw several photos placed under the TV cabinet in the living room. The woman in the photo was very young, holding a little girl, and both of them were smiling happily at the camera.

Gu Youmei followed Ning Xia's gaze and said with a wry smile:
"Yeah, that's me. The failure of my marriage in the past two years has made me a lot older all of a sudden."

"Officer, you must think that divorce is nothing. If the relationship is good, stay together, if not, break up, and move on after the breakup. But the reality is not like this."

Gu Youmei said:
"How long can a person's life last? I don't know how other people get out of divorce. For me, I brought this marriage on myself, and it's something I can't bear."

Ning Xia asked several questions, but Gu Youmei didn't answer her. Instead, she repeated her emotional experience to Ning Xia:

"Hu Siyang and I are the same age and are college classmates. During the state-owned system reform in the 90s, we jumped into the tide of the times together. We entered the pharmaceutical factory together. I was in management and he was in sales."

Recalling the time more than 20 years ago, Gu Youmei's eyes are filled with stars.

"The first few years were particularly good. Then Taotao was born, and our quality of life improved year by year. Hu Siyang's connections became wider and wider. Ten years ago, Hu Siyang set up a company to do it himself."

"We didn't have enough start-up capital at the beginning, so we scraped together things here and there. Hu Siyang's hometown is in the countryside of Jinghai City, so I couldn't help much, so I borrowed money from relatives and spent all the money I had saved over the years. It was pretty good, and Hu Siyang succeeded. "

"Because he is busy with business. As you know, sales are not easy to do. It all depends on connections and skills. As Taotao grows up, she needs someone to take care of her. For the sake of this family, I quit my job and take care of them at home full time."

Gu Youmei said this and sighed:
"I am 45 years old and have been away from work for 13 years. Apart from my children and Hu Siyang, I have long lost myself in my life. It was only after my divorce that I discovered that I was out of touch with society."

Ningxia felt a little sad in her heart. Her mother Yang Meilan once told Ningxia:
Women should never give up on themselves at any time. Working is to have dignity and the courage to race against fate.

Your appearance will age with time, but your inner calmness and calmness are your shield against time. When life is at its lowest point, you can have the confidence to face life.

"What happened afterward?"

"Then? Later, Hu Siyang became busier and busier, and I became worse and worse. After returning home, we talked less and less. Until Xu Dan walked into our lives three years ago, I knew that what I feared most had happened. .”

"Three years ago? Xu Dan got involved in your family three years ago?"

"I don't know when Hu Siyang and Xu Dan met, but I found out about Hu Siyang's affair three years ago."

Ningxia's heart tightened.

"I don't know if the police officer has a boyfriend, but women have sensitive hearts. During that time, I felt something was wrong with Hu Siyang, but I couldn't tell what was wrong, until one day I found the hotel booking record in Hu Siyang's bag. .”

Ningxia felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

"You know what? At that moment, my whole body collapsed."

Ning Xia wants to say that not only three years ago, but also Gu Youmei today has not gotten over her sadness.

"At that time, Taotao was in sixth grade, and I had to endure it for the sake of my children, so Hu Siyang and I started a tug-of-war. In the end, I lost."

"Hu Siyang admitted that he cheated?"

"Yes, there are phone records and hotel records of both people."

Gu Youmei's lips trembled, she hugged the other arm tightly with one hand, hunched her shoulders, and huddled in the chair.

Ningxia felt cruel, recalling the past and letting Gu Youmei tear away the scars in her heart little by little.

"A year later, I couldn't bear it anymore. Hu Siyang stopped coming home at all. The children noticed something, and I couldn't hide it anymore. So after a long struggle, I got divorced."

"I know this. Hu Siyang married Xu Dan a week after the divorce."

Gu Youmei looked out the window:
"Sometimes I wonder, what would happen now if I was determined not to divorce?"

"Did you work after the divorce?"

"I have to work. Although Hu Siyang will pay for living expenses every month, I save the money to pay for Taotao's tuition. It's hard to find a job at my age and I have no experience. Now I work as a cashier in a pharmacy, barely making ends meet."

Ningxia sympathized with Gu Youmei.

"Where's the house? What's going on with the house?"

"Hu Siyang and I bought the house. It was in my name at the time. After the divorce, the house belonged to me. It is still in my name on the house certificate now."

Ningxia doesn’t understand:

"Then why do you live here now?"

"In the past few years, due to the reform of the medical system, Hu Siyang's company's performance has become worse and worse. When we divorced, the house was split into two, but he couldn't give me any money."

Gu Youmei laughed at herself:
"I was stupid. I was still thinking about saving this marriage, so I promised him to live there first. I... was stupid. As a result, he remarried a week later, and Xu Dan moved in."

Ningxia Yuning, right or wrong is not something she can comment on Gu Youmei.

"In the past year, Xu Dan wanted to change the name of the house, but Hu Siyang couldn't come up with the money to give it to me. They tortured me like this. Xu Dan will miss the house even when he lives in it."

"What about Hu Siyang? He and Xu Dan have the same idea?"

"Man, if you change, you will change."

Gu Youmei shed tears.

Ning Xia thought of the sweet wedding photos between Hu Siyang and Xu Dan, as well as Hu Siyang's deep affection after Xu Dan was killed.

Sure enough, love will disappear.

Hu Siyang once loved Gu Youmei, but that love has become lighter and lighter over the years...
