Qin Guan looked out the window and sighed, "It's still windy today. It would be so nice to stay in bed, but he has to come out and hurt people."
The two were now sitting on the bus. Lin Jiaqiao asked, "Why did you come home with me?"
Qin Guan was dissatisfied: "What do you mean by your home? You are too polite. Isn't that my home too?"
He muttered quietly, "They've been arguing so much lately, throwing things all day long, I don't want to stay at home."
Lin Jiaqiao became nervous, "Your arm—"
Qin Guan put his arm around her shoulders and said, "That's why I hid myself. You must protect me well."
Lin Jiaqiao nodded, "I will protect you, and you should protect your arms too."
On the weekend, Gu Yiming returned home after a long absence.
Just as he was about to open the door, the insurance salesman called again.
Gu Yiming thought he was asking about Gu's mother again, and wanted to say a few perfunctory words, but then he heard the other party say, "Yiming, I just checked the insurance your mother bought, and found that she had bought accident insurance for you and your sister before."
"My colleague said that your mother has consulted our company and said that your sister passed away and she wants compensation. But she can't provide proof of your sister's death."
"Now, your sister has been missing for more than five years. You can go to the Public Security Bureau to get a missing persons certificate. I can handle the follow-up procedures for you."
"This amount of money is not small, more than one million. But the process may be a bit troublesome, so-"
Gu Yiming said: "Thank you, I don't need it."
The insurance agent was stunned and emphasized: "This is more than one million. If you don't make up, it will be enough for your whole life."
Because my sister is not dead at all, she is still alive and well.
Gu Yiming was really annoyed by the insurance agent, but he couldn't tell the truth, so he had to say, "I don't need money, thank you."
The insurance agent insisted, "No, your mother bought the insurance from me, so I have to be responsible to the end. I don't need to trouble you, just go to the nearby police station and give your sister..."
"My sister is very nice, and I don't need a million!"
The insurance agent kept nagging, and Gu Yiming was really annoyed. But he didn't know how to curse, so he could only yell into the phone.
This was the first time he lost his temper. The insurance agent was a little surprised. While he was stunned, Gu Yiming whispered an apology and hung up the phone.
He took out the key and inserted it into the lock. The door behind him rang and Big Mole greeted him, "You're back."
He watched Gu Yiming grow up, and Gu Yiming regarded him as an elder. He said, "Well, come back and get some clothes."
The neighbor nodded and asked, "I seemed to hear you mention your sister just now. Why did you mention her for no reason?"
Gu Yiming was so nervous about the rumors on the Internet that he became alert and said, "No, you heard it wrong."
The neighbor didn't ask any more questions. He took a step closer and said, "You live on campus now. It's a waste to leave your house empty. You might as well rent it out."
He said mysteriously, "I know a real estate agent and the price I'll give you is absolutely fair."
Gu Yiming thought he was just trying to get close to Gu Xiaoxu by asking about her, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew his neighbor's character, so he naturally didn't believe him.
He said: "My mother is a mysophobe and doesn't like strangers in the house."
The neighbor was unwilling to give up, "Your mother's hospitalization expenses are not low, and you are a student, it's time to spend money."
Gu Yiming just played dumb, smiled at him, and went home.
When he closed the door, the neighbor's expression changed.
He heard it clearly behind the door just now that Gu Yiming did not want compensation from Gu Xiaoxu.
That’s one million, a full one million, who wouldn’t be tempted by it
In order to successfully defraud the 8,000 yuan reward from "Wei Guan News", the neighbors have been collecting clues about Gu Xiaoxu recently.
He summarized all the information and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something fishy about Gu Xiaoxu's death.
Looking at Gu Yiming's reaction today, he thought, maybe Gu Xiaoxu is really the Xiaoxu that "Wei Guan News" is looking for.
He snorted, and the mole on his chin jumped.
He returned to the house and stared at the peephole, keeping an eye on Gu Yiming's movements.
He believed that Gu Yiming must be connected to Gu Xiaoxu, and he wanted to follow him.
Everyone thought that He Youwei would stop making trouble after a few days, and in fact, even He Youwei planned to do so. She knew Cui Boxing's character too well and knew that he would not reveal a word.
In such a huge crowd, she had no hope of finding this "little tidbit".
She just wanted to take this opportunity to let everyone remember herself and "Wei Guan News".
She wants to make "Wei Guan News" an authoritative media like "You Xian Du Bao".
Seeing that the popularity of "Looking for Xiaoxu" was decreasing, He Youwei had already started preparing for the next project. Unexpectedly, new clues came to her.
That little gangster and his mother are both in jail, and his father is still out. As the saying goes, people from the same family are similar, and he is not an easy person to deal with.
Ever since 'Wei Guan News' offered the bounty, he has been eyeing the money.
At the beginning, Mother Gu was afraid that Gu Xiaoxu would drag down her reputation, so she was very cautious when handling this matter. She took the money in cash and left all the fake news. The contact addresses provided by the gangster father were all fake, wasting a lot of He Youwei's time.
He Youwei was very angry and asked the security guard to kick him out.
The gangster dad was very depressed because he didn't get the money, and he spent the whole day at home looking for things related to Gu Xiaoxu.
Unexpectedly, he actually found it.
When Zhou Lai Fu hosted the banquet, Hunzi and his mother stayed to eat and accidentally took a picture of Gu Xiaoxu's face.
The dad was overjoyed and felt that the eight thousand yuan was already his.
He went back to He Youwei and negotiated terms with her.
He Youwei searched for a few days but couldn't find any news that could spark public opinion. It's not that she didn't think about continuing to look up old news about Cui Baixing, but she still understood the principle of not plucking the wool of a sheep.
Just when I was worrying, the gangster dad came to my door with photos.
He Youwei's eyes turned and she had a new idea.
Gu Xiaoxu has a pure and cool appearance. Although she looks haggard in the photo, she is a school beauty at first glance.
Cui Boxing's wife is a famous beauty anchor in the industry. At first, no one believed Zhou Laifu's claim that he and Gu Xiaoxu had an improper relationship.
But now, He Youwei thought, given Gu Xiaoxu's appearance, this was not impossible.
After all, what attracts more attention than gossip is the dirty gossip.
With the help of the media matrix in Mr. Liu's hands, this matter has indeed caused a stir again.
Those previously neutral voices immediately stood on the side of attacking Gu Xiaoxu.
Some people believed Zhou Laifu's statement, while others swore that Cui Baixing was having an extramarital affair and had been having an affair with the girl, which was why he went to save her.
The vice president used the official account of "Youxian Reading Newspaper" to refute the rumors about Cui Boxing. Lin Jiaqiao opened 18 small accounts to curse at this group of people. Gu Yiming and Zhao Ruihe contacted the platform customer service and asked them to delete these rumors. However, the customer service said that their supervisor disagreed because these inflammatory remarks could get more clicks.
Everyone was furious, the only thing to be thankful for was that Gu Xiaoxu couldn't go online.
Zhao Ruihe not only unplugged her internet cable, but also confiscated her mobile phone after she got off work. He lent her many books, all of which talked about working hard and having a hopeful future.
It was a weekday, and in the afternoon, there were few people in the library. A colleague who usually took good care of Gu Xiaoxu chatted with her, "Have you seen the news online, the one about 'Looking for Xiaoxu'?"
Gu Xiaoxu's face froze, and he shook his head and said, "I, I don't go online very often."
The colleague became interested and told Gu Xiaoxu: "You don't know, this woman is nothing."
"She was young and didn't learn her lesson. She eloped with her boyfriend and was dumped after a few days."
"That Chow Tai Fook took her in out of pity, but she cheated him out of all his money and even ignored his child. What kind of person is she?"
Gu Xiaoxu bit her lower lip. She wanted to say that she did not elope with anyone, she was a victim of sexual assault.
She wanted to say that Chow Tai Fook did not take her in and that she was sold to him.
She had an urge to clarify everything to everyone, but she couldn't say anything.
She knew very well that her clarification would not have any effect.
The written verdict of her case is still posted online, but those self-important netizens insist that there is something fishy going on.
Even though they couldn't even understand the law, they talked at length about their own affairs.
She couldn't say anything but scream in her heart.
My colleague was still nagging: "And there's Cui Boxing. I used to think he was a good man, but I didn't expect him to be this kind of bastard. Tsk tsk, men, no matter how old they are, can't control their lower body."
Gu Xiaoxu frowned, not understanding why Cui Boxing's lower body was involved.
She wanted to ask for clarification, but her colleague gently poked her arm: "Your boyfriend is here."
"I never thought you were so resourceful, Lele. This guy is a famous playboy, and you won him over just like that. And he comes to pick you up every day, rain or shine."
My colleague asked with a smile, "When are you getting married? Have you set a date?"
Gu Xiaoxu was worried, so she responded casually with a few words and went to find Zhao Ruihe.
Just after leaving the library, Gu Xiaoxu asked, "What's going on online recently? Why did they drag Uncle Cui into this?"
Zhao Ruihe has been communicating with the platform all day today, asking them to block the account of Hu Shuo Ba. The platform realized that he was a relative of the person involved, and tried their best to encourage him to persuade "Xiao Xu" to accept an interview with the platform.
If it were in the past, Zhao Ruihe would have naively thought that the platform wanted to clear Gu Xiaoxu's name. But after a few days of negotiations, he knew very well that the platform only wanted to earn traffic and click-through rates.
He immediately refused, but the platform did not give up and invited him to be interviewed instead.
After a whole day, Zhao Ruihe was exhausted by them, and he couldn't help being perfunctory when talking to Gu Xiaoxu.
He said: "It has nothing to do with you. It seems to be an internal problem of their newspaper."
Gu Xiaoxu has been following "Youxian Reading Newspaper" and knows that they are not the kind of newspaper that would do such a thing.
She wanted to ask clearly, but gave up when she saw Zhao Ruihe's tired face.
They've all been having a hard time lately.
After returning home, Gu Yiming had already prepared dinner for them.
