It was three days after Vivian learned the news about Peter's assassination. Three days ago, there was a terrorist attack on the Governor's Mansion. If Vivian hadn't been in a strange car accident the day before, and hired several bodyguards to protect her own safety, it might have been She might learn about this from a history textbook in her next life.
Her first thought was not happiness, but rather anger, because Peter actually died, not in her hands.
The Governor's Mansion was attacked and more than thirty people died, including the Governor himself. He was sent back to the arms of God by a grenade. Only a dozen people in the entire Governor's Mansion survived.
There is no doubt that Vivian believes that the instigator of this matter must be Peter, and only Peter has such a deep hatred for the Governor and herself. At the same time, the Governor poses the greatest threat to Peter, so great that he must make an extreme choice. There is only a slight possibility of getting through the difficulties at hand.
Mrs. Vivian also planned to take revenge herself, but what she didn't expect was that Peter actually died!
Lying on the hospital bed, Weiwei's mind went blank after a brief moment of anger. She was a little hesitant. When the Governor was alive, she always wanted to do something to make him realize his mistakes, and she also wanted to let him know that she was not just his girl. But when the bloody corpse of His Excellency the Governor flashed before her eyes, she was confused. She didn't know how to go in the future.
What should I do
Or do nothing
Even the goal of revenge is gone, what else does she pursue
Her brothers visited her twice and said some equally false words. Their father's death seemed to have given them a kind of relief. There was not even the slightest sadness on their faces when they spoke. There is a sense of ease.
She used to be like this, but not now.
These disgusting guys.
On the fifth day, Vivian received a bouquet of flowers, and there was a letter in the flowers. She picked up the envelope and opened it curiously. She thought about it while opening it. She thought it was from Dufo, which made her feel a little better. But after opening the letter, she The whole person froze.
"Dear daughter:"
"I have never shown weakness in my life. I am always the strongest no matter where I am. But at this moment, I actually feel like I am melting."
"Yes, when you read this letter, it means that I have left you and returned to the arms of God. I think this must be a less sad moment because I have been too strict with you all these years. . I know that you all don’t like me and may even hate me because I prevent you from doing what you want to do and force you to do things that you don’t want to do.”
"At this moment, I hope you can forgive me, this is my last request. As a father, I am not qualified, and I am also very guilty, because apart from those imperative requirements, I don't quite know how to With the children...that is, with you and those two bastards, I have to admit that this is my fault. I gave myself to the empire and left nothing for you. I feel guilty."
"I hope you can be happy. Please believe that this is my most sincere thought and prayer. I still vaguely remember the first time you fell, the first time you secretly used people's makeup, the first time you ran out in a skirt, and the first time you fell down. Once I beat Count Camus's son to tears... I suddenly realized that I was really a failed father. I was not involved in many of the firsts in your life. I watched quietly from the side like a bystander. , I have never hated myself so much, why don’t I leave more time and space for myself to grow with you.”
"It's too late to say this now. Fortunately, from the beginning to the end, at least I am still the same person in your eyes and have not become another person. Maybe this will make me stay in your minds a little longer."
"I have done a lot of wrong things and made a lot of mistakes in my life, but I have never been so proud because I have you. You are the brightest treasures in my life, how much I want to be by your side A longer time, but God does not allow me to do this. For the first time, I feel that God is not merciful at all. Why can't he give me a longer time? Why can't he let me watch you grow up little by little. Take me away from you only when I feel completely relieved.”
"Please forgive me for leaving you selfishly first, and please remember that I will always love you!"
"In addition to saying these things, I also want to tell you that I have divided my property into three parts. My old house and all the jewelry and paintings are yours, and the cash and other properties are yours. Brothers, by the way, I have an illegitimate child that you don’t know about. He is a poor child. If possible, I hope you can take care of him for me. My lawyer will tell you the specific situation. "
"Farewell, Vivian, I hope you are happy!"
"Always love you dad!"
When Vivian knew that Peter's so-called love for her was a lie, she didn't shed tears, only hatred.
When Peter hit her, she didn't cry, only hate.
When everything she thought went against her and betrayed her, she didn't feel sad, she just made herself stronger.
But at this moment, tears were like a raging river, overflowing its banks and overflowing. She covered her mouth and nose to prevent herself from crying, but she couldn't do that. For the first time, she understood why the word "sad" was used. She felt like a sharp knife had pierced her heart, and she was so sad that she couldn't breathe.
After crying bitterly for a while, she suddenly smiled and cursed "bastard" while crying. This was the first time she knew that the stubborn Governor had such an emotional side, and at the same time she also knew that she had another one. younger brother.
She wiped away her tears, supported her injured body and walked to the window, and pushed open the window. The midsummer sunshine shone on the whole world, and the green vitality was as vigorous as the boiling ocean. She looked up at the sky, smiling, It seemed like this would allow her father in heaven to see her smile.
The political earthquakes of Turnell and Orodo did not affect Otis. As the construction of Otis began to advance by leaps and bounds, more young people can be seen on the streets. They rushed back to their hometown from other places. In addition to wanting to see the changes in the city with their own eyes, they also wanted to find business opportunities. Any "emerging" city is full of gold. This is the consensus of young people who have passed through the "Big Pier".
It is precisely because of their return that the city has become more dynamic. People are talking about the hottest topic in Otis City right now - demolition.
Demolition has many benefits. For example, after the city hall demolishes the old house, it will replace it with a new, larger and newer house, and it may also be a building. Buildings are the topic that people care about. Which floor they live on has become the most popular content in people's chats. In addition to the new houses, the city hall will also compensate for a fee, which is about five yuan per square meter, which is almost equal to the annual income of a local person.
Those families with many members were grinning from ear to ear, and everyone was looking forward to a better future.
But there is also a small group of people who seem to go against the wishes of the mainstream.
"Are they still unwilling to move out?" Du Lin frowned. There were about 20 families who were unwilling to move out of their old houses. The reason was that they had deep feelings for the old houses, so they didn't want to move out. Be willing to get out of there. But in fact, the price was not negotiated. They believed that the place they lived in was in the city center and the place they were moving back to was some distance away from the city center, so they hoped for higher compensation to make up for their losses.
Natalie shook her head, "They hope to talk to you in person." After three days of rest, she came back to work early. In fact, such a thing was not that serious to her. She once lived in such an environment, constantly facing malicious suspicions from her colleagues and harassment from her bosses.
Especially after she heard from her friends that Igor was missing, she became even more eager to come back to work. In her limited life, she had never looked forward to working in a simple office building so much.
She still remembered what Du Lin asked her when he sent her out, asking her if she believed there were gods in this world.
She didn't believe it, but now she does.
There was something painful hidden in the eyes looking at Du Lin. She had never been so excited before, and she had never experienced such a sense of security as if surrounded by warm water.
Du Lin put down the pen in his hand and rubbed his wrist. The only thing he may have improved significantly during this period is his writing ability. At least what he writes now can be understood by Dove and Natalie without prompting. He guessed half of it and guessed the other half correctly, which made him somewhat relieved.
"Let's do this. Let them know and arrange a time for me to meet them. If we can't reach an agreement, we will consider other plans." After saying this, Du Lin shook his head and picked up the pen to continue writing his plan. He planned to do this this week. On the weekend, I went to the capital to meet Governor Harry. Part of Otis's next development plan still needs Governor Harry's nod, and Dulin also wants to see if this guy is someone he can cooperate with.
He asked Mr. Jack to inquire about some things about Governor Harry. The information was fed back last night, and the information he got was more dramatic than he imagined. In fact, there are different camps within the new party, the cutting-edge faction led by Maggs, and the moderate faction led by whip Sean. Harry belongs to the cutting-edge group and wants to run for the next prime minister, but Sean also has this idea, so when Dulin proposed the special zone plan, he would quickly pass it.
He needs allies too!
