C174 Persecution

After dinner, Wang Li accompanied Gu Yuwei to the library.

Since work, it's rare to have the leisure to sit down and read a book!

Gu Yuwei sat in the same seat that she used to sit at, the scenes of the past once again surfaced before her eyes.

Wang Cheng would occasionally come to the library during the weekend, but he had to come every week! Thinking back to his college life, she felt that the greatest gain was in this library.

Here she met her love; here she found her spiritual soul! Here, she was no longer alone. Here, she was always full and beautiful.

Now that he had picked up the book, he no longer had the mood he once had!

Looking at the words on it, it did not enter his mind anymore!

Her mind was a mess, and she had no chapters. The work and life she was living now had turned her previously calm heart into a roaring sea! He would never be able to return to the calmness and tranquility of the past!

In college, she knew exactly what she wanted! It's very simple. Read books, work, get married, and live a good life with Wang Cheng!

She would be able to walk on in such a calm manner for the rest of her life!

But now? She didn't know what she could want! Career, love? It was as if he was not under her control, and had become so ethereal!

She loved the King Zhao, but she had no confidence in loving him! This love could not be revealed, could not bear fruit, she could only bury him in her heart, love lonely, love bitter!

However, she couldn't bear to turn back!

From the perspective of others, she had been poisoned too deeply and was unable to free herself!

However, she was willing to drink this poison, willing to be trapped inside! Even though it hurt, even though it hurt, she was determined not to realize it!

Sometimes, she also hated herself!

Just like this moment, although he was clearly sitting here and facing Wang Li, his mind was still thinking about the King Zhao!

Many times, she would wonder if the King Zhao had some kind of magic or an extraordinary magnetic field, allowing him to control her spiritual world!

"Senior Sister, what are you thinking about?" Wang Li asked as he looked at her dazed look.

"Oh, it's nothing —" Gu Yuwei snapped out of her trance.

"It's getting late, I should go back," Gu Yuwei said.

"Alright, then I'll send you off!" Wang Li stood up and said.

When he bid farewell to Wang Li at the main entrance, Gu Yuwei saw a trace of reluctance in Wang Li's eyes.

This child was also someone who valued feelings! Gu Yuwei thought.

Gu Yuwei originally wanted to take a taxi back to Jiangyou Group's dormitory, but after thinking about it, she got the driver to take her to her new house, the Beijiang River's Garden of Jia Yuan.

Unknowingly, she seemed to regard this place as her home in her heart.

Although there was nothing here and the room was empty, she still felt at ease after opening the door and walking in!

This was her personal secret space. There was no one here to disturb her! She could imagine to her heart's content, she could stare blankly, she could even go crazy!

She sat on the balcony and watched the sunset glow in the western sky. It hung there perfectly, then it gradually disappeared at the end of the Beijiang River, and then the sky was shrouded in darkness!

Gu Yuwei turned on all the lights in the house.

Looking at the empty room, she had a strong desire to set up this place as soon as possible! Let this house truly be her personal spiritual home, a resting place!

At this moment, she suddenly thought of Li Jiaojiao. Only Li Jiaojiao could help her, she needed to borrow money from him in order to fulfill her dream!

Without hesitation, she dialed Li Jiaojiao's number.

When Li Jiaojiao heard that Gu Yuwei wanted to borrow money, she was initially very shocked. However, she didn't ask any further and readily agreed. She said that the bank wouldn't handle any business on Sunday, so she would definitely transfer 20 thousand yuan over to her immediately on Monday!

Hearing Li Jiaojiao's reply, Gu Yuwei was overjoyed! Things were going so well! This place would soon become a real warm harbor!

Zhao Muchen left the West Ridge Villa in the morning.

It was too lonely there for him to be alone, and he didn't like it. In comparison, he preferred to return to the Yindu Hotel. He was very familiar with this place and in his heart, he felt at home.

After returning to the Yindu Hotel, Zhao Muchen called Zhang Yanhui and asked about the old lady's condition.

Zhang Yanhui said that his mother was much better now. The doctor said that she would be discharged in a week's time and that she would only need to stay at home to recuperate.

Zhao Muchen had originally wanted to tell Zhang Yanhui that she might not be able to return to the capital during New Year's Eve and would instead head to Hainan to investigate. She thought about it and decided to not tell her about it first, but she would tell her about it when the time came.

After hanging up the phone with Zhang Yanhui, Zhao Muchen unexpectedly received a call from her own brother, Zhao Chengru.

Zhao Muchen hadn't called him for a long time! In his memory, this little brother seemed to rarely appear in Zhao Muchen's line of sight.

Every time he returned home, Zhao Muchen would not be able to see him! Mom and Dad said he was very busy. What exactly was he busy with? But he couldn't say it!

Zhao Chengru was also a restless person. He had been immersed in the spring breeze during the reform and opening up of the city during the past few years, and had gone to Shenzhen and Shanghai to roam about. However, he had never heard of him getting any gold. After a long time, Zhao Muchen had gotten used to it. If he did not appear, Zhao Muchen would not think about him!

However, why did this person who spent all his time hibernating on the outside suddenly think of his big brother?

Zhao Muchen suspiciously pressed the answer button — —

"Big Bro …" A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Cheng Ru, where are you now?" Zhao Muchen asked.

"Hehe, Big Brother, I'm coming to your territory!" Zhao Muchen said with a smile.

What? Why did he come here without even greeting them? Zhao Muchen's mind was flipping.

"Where are you?" Zhao Muchen asked again. At the same time, he walked to the window and pulled open the curtain, as if Zhao Muchen was nearby.

"Big Brother, I'm at the airport, I just got off the plane" Zhao Chengru said, a little embarrassed.

This wasn't invited, and moreover, there wasn't any form of greeting beforehand. In Zhao Chengru's heart, he also felt that it wasn't good.

But this time, he had nowhere else to go. If he didn't come to look for his big brother, there would be no other way to live! Moreover, with Big Brother's status in the Jiangyou Group, getting him some engineering work or something was just a simple matter!

After floating outside for so many years, this day had finally arrived!

"The airport?" Zhao Muchen asked in disbelief.

"Yes, big brother, I just flew over from Shanghai," Zhao Chengru said. "I was in too much of a hurry so I forgot to call you first —"

"Okay, just wait, I will send someone to pick you up," Zhao Muchen said as he hung up the phone.

Then, he called Little Zhong and told him to go to the airport to pick up Zhao Chengru. For a matter like this, he was more willing to let Little Zhong do it.

Zhao Muchen asked Little Zhong to send Zhao Chengru directly to Changbei Hotel, and he would go there later.

Zhao Chengru was caught off guard by his sudden appearance!

Zhao Muchen knew, Zhao Chengru was not here to play, he must be here to rely on his big brother!

This was what Zhao Muchen was most afraid of!

Back when he was still working in the capital, Zhao Chengru had wanted to follow him to the capital and get Zhao Muchen to do some profitable work for him.

At that time, Zhao Muchen had no authority to do such a thing.

At that time, Zhao Chengru hoped that Zhao Muchen could use his father-in-law, the Old Master Zhang, to do some engineering work for him. Zhao Muchen firmly refused!

It was one thing for him to rely on his father-in-law, but to even have his brother rely on his father-in-law, Zhao Muchen definitely would not do such a thing! This was too disgraceful of the dignity of a man!

He was originally working under the care of his father-in-law, this already made him a little weak. Pulling his brothers in to eat together with him at Zhang Family, wasn't that too embarrassing?

From then on, Zhao Chengru felt that Zhao Muchen was too disloyal! There were actually resources that he did not know how to use. With his father-in-law's immense support, he did not know if he should really be arrogant or not! Or perhaps it was because he didn't want to help him at all!

Zhao Chengru left the Beijing in a fit of anger, and then went to Shenzhen alone to float!

Just that, this time, Zhao Chengru was still floating in the west for more than ten years, and had not become as rich as he wanted!

Zhao Muchen hadn't seen Zhao Chengru for a while! He searched his mind. Since it was his father's seventy-fifth birthday when Zhao Chengru returned home, then next year, his father would be eighty years old. Four years had passed, but he had never seen Zhao Chengru before!

Usually, Zhao Chengru was also a proud and arrogant person, he wouldn't easily come to find him.

Now that he came so suddenly, could it be that he had suffered a huge loss outside, and he really couldn't make it?

Zhao Muchen paced back and forth in his room, thinking about why Zhao Chengru had come this way, and how should he deal with him.

Seeing that it was almost time, Zhao Chengru should be at Changbei Hotel. Zhao Muchen got the driver to send him to the Changbei Hotel.

Originally, Yindu Hotel could have arranged for Zhao Chengru to stay, but after thinking about it, it was best for him to not let others know that his little brother had come.

Upon arriving at Changbei Hotel, Zhao Muchen saw Zhao Chengru standing at the main entrance with a single glance.

Zhao Chengru looked very similar to Zhao Muchen, both in appearance and manner. Furthermore, from the way they walked, it was obvious that they were brothers.

However, Zhao Chengru was six years younger than him and Zhao Muchen had a younger sister, Zhao Chengyu, who was three years younger than him.

Logically, Zhao Chengru should be much younger than Zhao Muchen, but when Zhao Muchen saw Zhao Chengru standing there, he felt a sour feeling in his heart.

Looking at Zhao Chengru's expression, it was obvious that he was doing rather poorly outside these past few years!

Only, if Zhao Chengru didn't tell him, he wouldn't bother to ask.

Because Zhao Chengru previously had a good job and had no choice but to resign to go to the sea to work for the Godly Horse Company, he felt that if others made money, he could also make money. However, when others went to the sea to fish, he would only have to choke on water.

Without the ability to swim, how could he fish in the sea?
