the knife of love

Chapter 91 Let's meet and chat casually

After tossing around midnight, Lao Maijian Guanlue, who had been sitting in the lobby of the hotel waiting, got out of the elevator alone.

"How are people?"

"It should be fine."

"It's fine." Old Mai didn't expect this to happen. "Alai checked in Thyme just now. She was tricked into taking it by a drug dealer inside, but fortunately, the dose she took was not much."

"Fortunately, the dosage is not much?" Guan slightly turned around with a cold face, "If I didn't happen to see her in Thyme today, what do you think would happen to her?"

There are countless possibilities in the future, but none of them should have a good ending.

Lao Mai knew, but he was not convinced.

"Lao Jiu, to tell you the truth, I actually saw her like this in Thyme yesterday, isn't she fine? And this kind of thing happens every day in our venue, why are you so excited?"

"I'm not excited!" Guan Lue retorted, his eyes were full of cold light, "You said you saw her like this yesterday?"

"Yes, I came to look for Alai yesterday, and she undressed on stage like today!"

"and then?"

"And then I'm leaving!"

"Then you fucking left?" Guan Lue grabbed Lao Mai's clothes, "You said you saw her like this in Thyme yesterday, and then you left?"

"Yes, because I don't think it has anything to do with me, and it has nothing to do with you! She's just a HIGH guest in the venue, why should I care about her?"

Lao Mai shouted, Guan Lue had already swung his fist, and he was thrown half a meter away, almost falling to the ground.

That fist is not a vegetarian, Guan Lue is a practicing family son, although his subordinates are reserved, it is enough for Lao Mai to suffer.

Lao Mai covered half of his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

A security guard from the hotel lobby has already come over: "May I ask if there is something wrong with you two?"

"Get the fuck out of here!" It was rare for Old Mai to be so angry. Seeing that the situation was not going well, the security guard automatically retreated to the side.

Guan Lue was full of coldness, and Lao Mai rubbed the corner of his mouth where he hurt sorely.

"Okay, old nine, we have been brothers for so many years, and you actually fight with me for a woman?"

Guan turned slightly sideways and took a deep breath.

"Feel sorry."

"No, this punch can be used to wake you up. I won't take it for granted, but you should know who Tang Jingcheng is! Since you want to seek justice for what happened to Lou Qingxiao three years ago, since you have already died After this muddy water, then Tang Jingcheng can no longer have anything to do with you."

"I know, I've broken up with her!"

"Fart!" Lao Mai poked it out, "Then let me ask you the other way around, since she is a stranger who has nothing to do with you, do you care if she takes drugs or does a striptease? Even if she went out to sleep with a man today, this What does it have to do with you?"

Guan Lue was speechless by him.

Nima simply can't be friends with a psychiatrist.

"Okay, I promise that things like today will not happen again in the future. I won't take care of her anymore. Let's go first. You are watching at the hotel. You can only go back when she comes out!" Guan Lue went out after finishing speaking.

Old Mai was very angry.

"I'll tell you that your words are inconsistent. Why do you want me to stare at you after you agreed to leave it alone?"

"Because you are busy all day long!" Guan Lue had already left the hotel while speaking.

Old Mai was not convinced, and shouted again: "What about the girl from the Academy of Fine Arts? She is still waiting for you in Thyme. Do you want her to go back with you tonight?"

Guan Lue raised his arm and waved it: "Don't fucking look for trouble!"

……

It was past five o'clock the next morning when Tang Jingcheng came out of the room. Lao Mai had been guarding the hotel lobby all night, and when he saw her coming out of the elevator, he immediately chased after her.

"Miss Tang..."

Tang Jingcheng was taken aback: "Doctor Mai, why are you here?"

Lao Mai yawned and smiled bitterly: "Someone asked me to stare at you here, can we have a chat?"

Tang Jingcheng thought for a while: "Okay."

"Then where should we sit?" Lao Mai pointed to the lobby next to him.

At four o'clock in the morning, there was no one in the lobby bar, the lights were dimmed, and the light was very dim.

Tang Jingcheng sat down first, and gathered the black velvet cloak on his body. The whole person was tightly wrapped, and he could only see a little bit of his calf exposed from the hem of the cloak. Where did she go, she is sucking on hotel slippers now.

That image is simply messed up, plus her face is pale, and her hair hangs loosely on her shoulders, she obviously looks terrible, but she sat there, smoked a cigarette casually and held it between her fingers, and Old Mai was out of control for no reason. I feel that there is something seductive about this woman.

"Sorry, can this be smoked?" she asked.

Old Mai hissed: "Probably not, this kind of hotel is non-smoking."

"Oh." Tang Jingcheng was actually very obedient, and put the cigarette back, "Then I won't smoke, Dr. Mai, tell me."

That posture actually looks like a child waiting for the teacher to lecture.

Old Mai was a little embarrassed.

"Miss Tang, you don't need to be so serious, I just want to chat with you casually, and you don't want to talk about Dr. Mai, just follow them and call me Lao Mai."

"no!"

"..."

"You were my doctor, you are Dr. Mai."

"..."

His temper is quite persistent, and Lao Mai doesn't confront her: "Okay, then call Dr. Mai."

"Doctor Mai!" Tang Jingcheng giggled and repeated it seriously, his voice as clean as the morning dew.

Lao Mai couldn't help his scalp numb, coughed: "Then let's start."

"Okay." After Tang Jingcheng finished speaking, he involuntarily pinched the lighter in his hand, and slightly clenched his hands into fists.

It was an unconscious state of self-preservation, and Mai noticed.

"Miss Tang, don't be so nervous, can you relax?"

"Okay, relax, relax." She repeated this while pulling the lighter tighter.

Lao Mai could only pretend she didn't see it, and smiled, trying to ease her nervousness.

"Okay, Miss Tang, since I took the initiative to talk to you, I'll get straight to the point."

"Yeah." She sat upright.

Lao Mai felt the pressure invisibly, and rubbed his fingers like Guan Lue did.

"It's like this, you should know that Lao Jiu and Lou Qingxiao are getting married soon."

"I know."

"They have a good relationship."

"I know that too!"

"So you shouldn't go to Thyme to make trouble."

"What do you mean?" She understood all the previous words, but this sentence was a little confused.

Seeing that she was pretending to be pretty, Lao Mai couldn't help but rubbed the wound on the corner of his mouth from being beaten by Guan Yue, and smiled mockingly.

"Thyme is the place in Lao Jiu's hands. You are making troubles there in turn just to get his idea, or in other words, to win his sympathy."

Now it was Tang Jingcheng's turn to laugh, and she was holding the lighter so hard that she could hardly breathe.

"why are you laughing?"

"Doctor Mai, should I say that you have better imagination or divergent thinking? I don't know that Thyme is owned by Guan Lue at all, or in other words, Guan Lue, I only know his name and a vague I don’t know anything other than his identity, what he eats, what he wears, what he does, what he does and who he meets, I’m not even interested at all.”

Tang Jingcheng finished speaking smoothly, Lao Mai was a little confused, but she put the lighter on the table, her serious expression just now changed suddenly, and her smile was sly.

"Oh, by the way, I don't think I don't care about him at all. At least I used to care about his energy and whether his work is good enough!"

"..."

"Doctor Mai, please don't be so sentimental that I went to Thyme to meet Guan Lue by chance. I want to see him and make a phone call every minute, but I won't do that, and I won't do it in the future, so please Don't worry, please don't worry, all of you!"

"..."

"That should be clear enough, right? Are we done talking?"

"No, Ms. Tang, maybe you misunderstood..."

"Aren't you finished talking? I'm sorry, I have to go first, please wait for me here all night." Tang Jingcheng made a quick decision, picked up the cigarettes and lighters on the table and put them into his cloak pocket.

Lao Mai didn't even have the courage to stop her, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Guan Lue.

There is a depression in the family, yin is not yin and yang is not yang all day long.

It also provoked a mania outside, and when it became ruthless, there was no room for others.

……

Su Jue's engagement was imminent, and Su Hongzhi arranged to send Guan Lue a post.

Now the relationship between Su Hongzhi and Jiurongtai is delicate, Guan Lue is an enemy or a friend in his eyes is not yet clear, especially after Chi Feng's death, Su Hongzhi has been trying to win him over, so he can just take advantage of Su Jue's engagement banquet to sit down "Get in touch with your feelings."

The invitation was sent to Ye Tan.

Ye Tan was still very surprised: "Ninth brother, this old man's son is getting married, what do you want?"

On the surface, the Su family and Jiurongtai have never had any contact. This time, Su Jue is engaged to the daughter of the Yao family. The scene must be very big. If Guan Lue attends, everyone will think that the Su family and Jiurongtai are closely related .

"The old thing wants to win the relationship."

"Then Brother Jiu, are you going to go?"

Guan Lue twitched his lips: "You ask someone to prepare a gift first."

In the afternoon of the next day, Lou Qingxiao called Guan Lue and went straight to the topic: "Ninth brother, I heard that the eldest son of the Su family is engaged. You received the post, can you take me with you?"

Guan Lue was kind of weird for a while.

Lou Qingxiao rarely appeared in public since the accident, but this time she actually offered to go to the engagement banquet with him.

"Qing Xiao, many reporters will be there that day."

"I know, it's okay, I've already thought it through. Since we're going to get married, we'll inevitably have to go out and go to various occasions in the future. I can't hide at home forever."

Lou Qingxiao's reasoning is very accurate.

Guan thought for a while, but did not refuse: "Okay, then I will pick you up there then."

After Tang Jingcheng came back from the hotel that night, she couldn't remember many things that happened in Thyme that night, but the words Guan Lue said before leaving left a deep impression on her.

"Don't touch that thing again, take care of yourself!"

Just because of this sentence, Tang Jingcheng has to live well.

Qiu Qiguan is gone, her hand is useless, but self-sacrifice can't solve any problems, no one can save her, she has to save herself.

So she started taking medicine on time, listening to light music, drinking a glass of red wine before going to bed to help her sleep, downloaded many boring and funny soap operas on the computer, and went to the market to buy paper, pens and paints.

She tried her best to live like a human being, but she still couldn't escape those nightmares in the dead of night.

"Qiguan, there are some things that I will never forgive you in my life, but there are some things that I have figured out myself."

"I took your urn to Tengchong. If I didn't have the courage to choose to die with you then, I must have the courage to live well now."

"Are you still staying with me now? Or have you gone far? Have you come back to see me?"

"Qiguan, can you hear me talking to you?"

Tang Jingcheng sat on the window sill holding Qiu Qiguan's urn, behind him was the cold glass, and in her arms was the man she loved the most.

She never told anyone the purpose of her going to Tengchong, and naturally no one knew how much Qiu Qiguan's death had dealt a blow to her.

She didn't cry or speak for such a long time, but Qiu Qiguan was the sky and the earth to her. When the sky fell and the earth sank, she became a ghost floating in the air.

The day before Su Jue's engagement, Qiu Yueyi suddenly received a call from Tang Jingcheng.

Since Yang Xi's death, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have not been in contact with each other. Even if there are property disputes, they have always sent lawyers to deal with them. Now things are different, and people's moods have somewhat changed.

"Mom..." Tang Jingcheng plucked up the courage to speak first.

Qiu Yueyi was obviously stunned over there, and her tone was not very good: "What's the matter?"

"Qiguan's ashes have always been with me, and I want to choose a cemetery for him to bury."

At that time, Qiu Qiguan had a car accident, and the accident was dealt with for more than a week. After the treatment, the body was taken from the hospital to the crematorium and sparks sparked. Tang Jingcheng hugged his urn desperately and refused to put it. At that time, she must have been half crazy up.

Qiu Yueyi endured the pain of losing her son. Although she was strong on the outside, her heart was almost broken, and she didn't have the energy to argue with Tang Jingcheng. Later, Yang Xi became pregnant, had a miscarriage and many other things happened, and this matter has been delayed.

"Okay, Qi Guan has been gone for so long, you should also accept this fact, and being buried in the ground is the minimum respect for him." Qiu Yueyi said calmly.

As expected of someone who has seen the storm, Tang Jingcheng is far behind her in this regard.

"As for the cemetery, I have already recommended a few from the intermediary company, why don't you go and have a look with me if you have time?"

"No need. After Qiguan left, the lawyer sorted out his estate. I remember one of them mentioned that he had bought a cemetery in his name. The location is very good, or that's it."

Tang Jingcheng couldn't help being surprised: "Mom, you said Qiguan bought a cemetery before?"

She didn't know about this, she had never heard Qiu Qiguan mention it.

Qiu Yueyi was not surprised at all: "Nowadays there is a shortage of good cemeteries, and there are many people buying cemeteries for investment. At that time, an intermediary happened to recommend it to him. The price and location were very suitable, so he bought it as an investment and mentioned it to me. I didn’t worry about it once, maybe it’s intended to be used by me in the future.”

Unexpectedly, he was the one who left first at the end. Qiu Yueyi couldn't help being a little sad when the white-haired man sent the black-haired man away.

This is a very heavy topic for both of them.

Tang Jingcheng didn't ask too much: "Okay, then please send me the address, and I'll find someone to erect a monument first."
