The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 373 Last Words
"A fire broke out in the Gong family? Gong Xun's life or death is unknown?"

When Jian Xi heard the news, he was taking a nap on his bed at Nan Xiang's house. He just woke up and learned the news, which made his sleepiness disappear instantly.

Ye Chuanping's voice on the phone was a little hurried. After briefly explaining the situation, he said that this was a rare opportunity and they had to press on to seize the opportunity to attack the Constantly Group.

Jian Xi hesitated for a moment and then said, "Okay, Aunt Ye, let's make it quick and decisive."

After all, no one expected that such an accident would suddenly occur. Although the current situation is a concrete example of "taking advantage of the fire", who can blame capital for being so ruthless?

I didn't set the fire myself!
After talking for a few more words, Jian Xi hung up the phone and started thinking about the sudden fire.

He had no time to think about it. The fire was indeed special for "Tiny Times" because the original drama had a sudden fire that led to the finale.

However, in the original drama, it was Gu Li and her family who were burned. At that time, everything was going to be fine and it seemed that there would be a happy ending soon. However, an inexplicable fire instantly turned it into a tragic ending.

Jian Xi thought that now that the plot had been changed, there would be no more fire incidents, but unexpectedly, a big fire still broke out.

However, the object that was burned changed from Gu Li to the Gong family.

I don’t know if Gong Xun was burned to death?
Thinking about how Old Man Gong was taken away by the police yesterday and returned home, and his house caught fire the next night... Jian Xi couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

By the way, Zhou Chongguang is also in the Gong family. The man who died in the fire in the original drama has now encountered the same thing.

At this time, Jian Xi frowned, and his mind was filled with thoughts: Zhou Chongguang, Lu Shao...

"Boss, the food is ready. When will you come to eat?"

The bedroom door was pushed open, and Nan Xiang, wearing an apron and with her hair tied up, walked in and asked.

Jian Xi came back to his senses and smiled: "Okay, I'll come now."

Whether the fire was suspicious or not had nothing to do with him, as long as he was the one who benefited.

"Want a drink?"

Standing beside the bed, Nan Xiang blinked and asked.

Jian Xi, who was getting dressed, laughed again when he heard this and nodded, "Sure, I have no problem anyway."

Nan Xiang leaned over and kissed him, saying, "Then I'll wait for you."

"it is good."

After Nan Xiang went out, Jian Xi changed his clothes, thought about it, and sent another message to Yuan Yi.

"Change of plan, enter directly."

……

"Boss, is there anything wrong with Gu Li recently?"

At the dinner table, after taking a few bites of food, Nan Xiang hesitated and suddenly asked this question.

Jian Xi paused for a moment, glanced at her and said with a smile: "Why? Did Lin Xiao ask you to ask?"

"Ah? No." Nan Xiang shook her head. "She just said that she went to see Tang Wanru. She thought something might have happened to Gu Li, and she wanted to go find Gu Li together."

"Didn't she ask you to go see Tang Wanru with her?" Jian Xi asked again.

Hearing this, Nan Xiang's eyes dimmed, and she opened her mouth, but could only muffle a sound: "I want to go myself, but..."

She couldn't say anything else. After Tang Wanru was scratched by Xi Cheng, she had always been on Lin Xiao's side and wanted Xi Cheng to pay the price. In addition to sympathizing with Tang Wanru's experience, she also felt that she was partly responsible.

If she had not had the entanglement with Xi Cheng in the first place, then all the subsequent events would not have happened, including what happened to Gu Li and Tang Wanru.

Although those things have passed with the passage of time, she still sometimes feels a strong sense of guilt, always feeling that it was her past mistakes that led to all this.

Leaving Gu Li and not seeing Tang Wanru was her subconscious escape from the past.

When Jian Xi saw her like this, he realized that she was just like Lin Xiao, and was afraid to face her best friend who was injured.

After calculating the time, it has been half a month since Gu Li seduced her. She had been thinking of waiting until the things at hand were completely finished before doing anything else. But now that the Gong family was on fire, many things had already been decided, so there was no need to wait any longer.

If it goes on any longer, Lin Xiao might really get sad.

"Jingle Bell!"

Just then, a cell phone rang, interrupting Nan Xiang who was feeling sad.

"Hello."

"Letter? Who sent it?"

"Then just leave it there, I'll get it later."

After hanging up the phone, Nan Xiang put down the phone and looked at Jian Xi. The emotions that had just been interrupted began to surge again. Her lips moved slightly before she whispered, "Then, I'll go see Tang Wanru too."

Jian Xi smiled and took a sip of wine and said, "This is something you need to decide for yourself. Whether you watch it or not is not up to me."

"Oh."

Nan Xiang lowered her head and responded. After a few seconds, she suddenly raised her head and asked, "Then... Gu Li..."

"Well, come to my place tonight, and I'll tell you when Lin Xiao is there."

……

The weather in Shanghai is still sunny today. It seems that God has completed the recent rainfall work in Shanghai during the Qingming Festival, so it has been sunny for nearly ten days.

The spring afternoon sunshine is not scorching. It shines into the alleys of Puxi and shines through the lattice windows into Tang Wanru's bedroom, bringing a gentle and pleasant warmth.

This window is right above the bed in the bedroom. Tang Wanru leans against the headboard. The sunlight casts her figure above the shoulders as a shadow on the sheets. It feels warm and even her sadness disappears a lot.

People say that the dusk in the mountains can easily make people recall the past, but Tang Wanru feels that it is not only the dusk in the mountains that can make people reminisce. In the rapidly developing steel forest of the Magic City, once people stop, the warm sunshine can also easily evoke memories of the past.

Whether it is good or bad, it is not up to people to decide.

Just like now, the memories in my mind gradually lengthened along with the shadow on the bed sheet in front of me. Not only the nightmare-like bleeding from the corner of my mouth and Gu Li's plea for Xi Cheng, but also the more distant memories of laughing and playing with my girlfriends in the villa, drinking with my girlfriends at the banquet, and being high-spirited with my girlfriends at school...

All the memories came flooding back to her mind, and she couldn't help but turn her head towards the sun, as if she wanted the sun to dry the tears in the corners of her eyes.

This was not the first time that such a scene had happened. During the days she had been home, those memories had been constantly coming to her mind, whether they were laughter, sadness, or anger, to the point that she sometimes did not know why she had left them...

Was it your mother's request?
"Bah."

Just as Tang Wanru was looking at the sun with loss, the bedroom door was pushed open and Tang's mother walked in.

"Wanru, here is a letter for you."

After Tang Wanru propped herself up on the bed and sat up straight, she saw her mother handing her a letter.

"Letter? Who writes letters these days?" "I don't know. There's no sender's name."

After receiving the letter, she heard her mother say, "Wanru, Mom has already contacted a doctor for you, you..."

Tang's mother paused for a moment. When she saw her daughter's expression, the rest of the words got stuck in her throat and she didn't know how to finish. Every time she brought up this topic, the atmosphere would become unusually heavy.

After sighing, she said, "Come out for dinner later. You've been getting thinner these days."

"Okay, I understand." Tang Wanru held the letter and said dully with her head down.

Seeing this, Tang's mother sighed again, turned around and left the room.

After she left, Tang Wanru, with her head down, raised her hand to wipe her eyes for a long time before focusing her attention on the letter.

After a little hesitation, she opened the letter and found only a photo inside.

When she saw this photo, Tang Wanru was stunned and the tears that she had just wiped away burst out again.

The photo made of RC photo paper clearly showed the four sisters from Times Middle School. In the photo, the four of them were wearing the school uniform of Times Middle School and standing together on the stage of the graduation ceremony. Fluorescent powder was glittering on their grey pleated skirts. They were laughing and it seemed as if they saw a future that was equally glittering.

Tears slid across the scar at the corner of her mouth, but she was no longer bothered to wipe them away. She let the tears flow until she burst into tears.

……

We used to wander all day long on the green hills of our hometown.

We have also experienced hardships and wandered everywhere.

Long live friendship, my friend, long live friendship...

When the melody of "Auld Lang Syne" rang in his ears through the photo, Lin Xiao hugged Lin Quan and cried bitterly.

All her tears were wiped on the clothes that Little Green Tea had carefully matched today, which made her heart furious at first, but after seeing how miserably she was crying, she immediately softened her heart.

Since receiving a letter in the evening, the other party couldn't stop crying. She just came over to comfort him and he hugged her and cried.

I don’t know if I mistook her for Jian Xi.

Looking at the other person crying, Lin Quan even felt sympathetic.

She also saw the photo that Lin Xiao was holding tightly. The four sisters who claimed to be inseparable have now fallen apart, and even she, an outsider, would feel regretful.

So when Lin Xiao cried fiercely in her arms, she had to keep taking out tissues to wipe his tears.

In the beginning, she was actually a little envious of the friendship between these people, but it was a pity that she had never had any good sisters with whom she could have such deep feelings. However, after learning about the things that happened between the sisters during this era, she was glad that she was alone.

Having many close friends means more things to do, and she feels that she would be more comfortable if she had fewer things to do.

"Don't cry, Lin Xiao, Jian Xi will be back soon."

After all, the two of them had known each other since they had a fight in bed, and even though they had been at odds afterwards, the little green tea girl was doing her best to comfort the other party, whether because she had established a friendship with Lin Xiao or was helping Jian Xi.

But when Lin Xiao soaked most of her clothes on her chest, she couldn't help but shout in her heart:

Senior, why haven't you come back yet?!

I don’t know if he heard Xiao Lu Cha’s call, but after a while, when the sun just set in the sky, there was a noise from the door, and then the door was opened, and Jian Xi walked in.

Lin Quan felt relieved instantly and couldn't help shouting, "Senior, please try to comfort Lin Xiao. She has been crying for a long time!"

After hearing what happened, Jian Xi, who had just entered the room, did not rush over to help comfort Lin Xiao as Lin Quan had expected. Instead, he spread his hands helplessly and stepped aside.

So Little Green Tea was surprised to find that behind Jian Xi was Nan Xiang, who was also crying and wiping her tears.

"..."

An inexplicable sense of absurdity suddenly emerged in Lin Quan's heart, and question marks kept popping up in his mind. What happened today?
Nan Xiang, who was wiping her tears, walked straight towards Lin Xiao when she saw him.

"Lin Xiao..."

Nan Xiang spoke with trembling lips. Lin Xiao, who was lying in Lin Quan's arms and tired of crying, looked up and saw that the tears that had just stopped were starting to brew again.

Then Lin Xiao decisively abandoned Little Green Tea and hugged Nan Xiang, crying.

"..."

Finally, I can breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Lin Quan looked at Jian Xi who was walking over and asked, "Senior, what is going on?"

"This... is a long story." The dog man frowned a little strangely. Before, after the after-dinner exercise at Nan Xiang's house, the other party took the letter back and opened it and started crying. "Anyway, I started crying after receiving a letter."

"A letter? Lin Xiao received it, too. There was a photo inside." Lin Quan pointed at the photo still in Lin Xiao's hand, and after seeing Jian Xi nod, he asked again, "But there's no signature, so I don't know who sent it."

"Do I need to guess? It must have been sent by Gu Li."

Jian Xi's words made Lin Quan nod in agreement. After thinking about it, this was the only possibility.

"Gu Li..."

At this time, Lin Xiao, who was feeling sad, heard Gu Li's name, and turned around and looked at Jian Xi with red and swollen eyes: "Jian Xi, what happened to Gu Li, can you tell me?"

Nan Xiang, who was still hugging Lin Xiao, also looked at him with red eyes. The two of them looked like best friends.

"Okay, wipe your tears first."

The bad man brewed his emotions for a while, and said in a sad tone: "I promised Gu Li before that I would keep it a secret for her. I didn't want to keep it a secret for her, but she almost knelt down and begged me to keep it a secret, saying that she would tell you herself. You know, I have always been a person who keeps my promises, but now it seems that I really can't bear to keep it a secret..."

"Dingling bell~"

Just as the dog man was making a disclaimer, Lin Xiao's cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting him.

"It's Wanru. Wanru finally replied to me."

Lin Xiao couldn't wait to answer the phone, and Tang Wanru's frantic voice came immediately from the other end: "Lin Xiao, I'm out, I climbed out the window, what happened to Gu Li?"

The living room fell into silence. Jian Xi looked at the three girls' faces and said in an even more sorrowful voice, "Gu Li...is dying."

……

Night fell, enveloping the Sinan Mansion tightly.

Under normal circumstances, Gu Li's garden house would be brightly lit because she liked the feeling of brightness.

But tonight, only the small living room on the second floor of the house was lit, like a lonely lamp on the distant sea, firm, but as if it would be extinguished by the waves in the next second.

Gu Li was dressed in a white sleeveless long dress and sat expressionlessly on the sofa in the small living room. In front of her was a camera that was recording a video.

"I won't introduce myself to you." Gu Li opened her mouth lightly, and the spacious house made her voice become quiet. "When you see this video, I may already be in another world."
