When You’re Gone

She was slightly startled, looking at him, "I won't take care of you."

"I know." Almost just after she finished speaking, Gu Hansheng answered her words immediately, and he followed: "You have to take care of Jiujiu. I will not force you, A Shu."

"But Shi Qing ran to find me—"

"A Shu, I was not awake at the time." His face became darker.

Liang Shu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I didn't say that you let Shiqin pass by. I just sighed that your two subordinates are loyal to you. In the past few days of your accident, they will not only stabilize the company, but also replace it. You put your mind on me, Mr. Gu, when you’re done, don’t forget to give them both a promotion and a salary increase."

After a few words, Gu Hansheng seemed to feel that she was actually sarcastic.

In fact, Shi Qing and Ji Shen are now considered to be no one else in the Gu family. On many occasions, who doesn't know that as soon as Shi Qing or Ji Shen appear, it might represent Gu Hansheng himself.

Regardless of whether it was irony or what, Gu Hansheng said as usual. He said, "Of course."

Liang Shu stopped talking, she went to the sofa and sat down.

She then looked for a magazine, flipped through a few pages, found a little bored, and then raised her head slightly.

Gu Hansheng's voice was still low and hoarse, and his fingers on the side of the bed moved in her direction, "A Shu, come to me."

"What are you doing?" She was unmoved.

The man moved his eyes to her hand, "Don't do anything, just want to see what you are looking at."

Liang Shu raised the magazine in his hand, "Do you want to read this? Here you are."

Before he could speak, Liang Shu got up and walked to the bedside and threw the magazine in his hand to him, "Look at it slowly, I'll go out to get some air, and by the way, give Jiujiu a call. She has been at home with the housekeeper for a long time. ."

Gu Hansheng was not in a hurry to read the magazine, but called her to stop, "A Shu, take Jiujiu to the mansion. It’s safer to have Qu Eucalyptus taking care of it than to be watched by the housekeeper outside."

Liang Shu was about to walk to the door, turned around, looked at him, and returned after two seconds: "Do you think I'm going to stay in the hospital? You don't need to worry about Jiujiu's affairs, I will take care of her."

After speaking, she went straight to the living room, opened the door and left the ward.

Liang Shu called the housekeeper and chatted with Jiujiu for about ten minutes. During that time, Jiujiu asked about Gu Hansheng. She only said that Gu Hansheng's illness was much better.

But the little girl was very caring, and let Liang Shu take good care of Gu Hansheng.

Liang Shu hung up the phone, dumbfounded.

...

Gu Hansheng was discharged from the hospital after lying in the hospital for more than a month.

During this period, they kept hiding from the outside, there was no news of Gu Hansheng being injured and hospitalized, but they couldn’t hide from the high-level Gu, Shi Qing and Ji Shen could only say to them that Gu Hansheng was recovering from illness. As for what kind of illness, that’s not what they should ask. Up.

It's easy for these people to block their mouths, and it's easy to be jealous.

Because Gu Hansheng has become more and more low-key and simple in recent years. He and his dead ex-wife have gradually faded out of public attention. Since then, he has rarely appeared in the public eye.

Except for the last time, because of the hot search on the topic of his fiancee.

It is normal for Gu Han not to appear in front of the public during his growth period, and not to appear under the lens of the media.

But as far as the Gu family is concerned, this is a bit abnormal.

Therefore, there are some high-level officials who circulate around Ji Shen and Shi Qing from time to time, under the pretext of visiting Gu Hansheng, but it is not known what these people are thinking.

During Gu Hansheng's hospitalization, Liang Shu visited twice.

The first time I was alone, the second time I brought Jiujiu.

The day Gu Hansheng was discharged from the hospital, the weather was a little gloomy.

After being injured for a hundred days, he just transferred home from the hospital to recuperate.

While still in the car, the man who was still closing his eyes and rested suddenly asked Ji Shen in the front seat, "What is A Shu doing lately?"

Ji Shen was slightly silent, and replied: "Ms. Liang has been mingling with Ms. Mo recently. It seems that Jiujiu is facing school problems. Maybe he is choosing a school... Mr. Lu has also been in contact with Ms. Liang recently. The weather is still Yes, Miss Liang should be in Lujia Cemetery at the moment."

...

Today Liang Shu specially wore a black skirt for Jiujiu. The little girl had almost no clothes of this color, so she asked curiously: "A Shu, we have pink female women's dresses, why don't we wear that?"

Liang Shu said, "I will wear pink again another day. Mom will take you to a place today."

For the convenience of traveling, Liang Shu bought herself a scooter. Although Mo Xiangsi deliberately let Liang Shu open the car that Jingyu gave her, Liang Shu was reluctant.

Let alone what kind of relationship is between Mo Xiangsi and Jing Yu, she has been at odds with Jing Yu since a few years ago.

Unexpectedly, they met Lu Jinsheng in the underground parking lot.

Liang Shu took Jiujiu's hand and walked out of the elevator. At a glance, he saw the men leaning against the pillars at the elevator door. Seeing them coming out of the elevator, he raised his head and walked towards them.

"What are you doing?" Liang Shu asked, twisting his eyebrows.

"Isn't you going to see Lu Zian's couple today?" When he said this, Lu Jinsheng paused for a while, and his eyes passed from Jiujiu's face unconsciously before he continued: "Without the first permission of the Lu family, you can't get in. of."

Liang Shu didn't answer the conversation.

A long time ago, she could still say that she was half of the Lu family.

Lu Jinsheng didn’t have any special emotions. He bent over and hugged Jiujiu. It’s no stranger that Jiujiu has seen him several times during this period. He didn’t refuse his touch. The little girl subconsciously only when Lu Jinsheng was holding her. Go to see Liang Shu.

Liang Shu pursed his lips, "Are you going to come with us?"

"Yeah." Lu Jinsheng nodded, hugged Jiujiu and walked to his car, "Let's go."

Liang Shu looked at the man who had already taken a few steps.

After five years, Lu Jinsheng's hostility has decreased a lot, but in the same way, his person has become more unpredictable than five years ago.

Liang Shu even thought about regretting it and not going over today, but she has never gone to worship Lu Zian and Shen Lu after coming back for so long. Even if she doesn't go this time, she will still have to get Lu Jinsheng's permission next time.

Besides, she also deliberately let Jiujiu meet her father and mother.

Up to now, Liang Shu’s only fortunate thing is that when Lu Zian and Shen Lu were in the accident, Jiujiu was still a baby. She would not experience the pain of leaving the relatives, and Liang Shu made up his mind that he would not let Jiu in this life. Jiu knows his life experience.

She followed in Lu Jinsheng's footsteps and reached the car. Lu Jinsheng had already opened the rear door. Jiujiu saw Liang Shu come and ran towards her in two steps.

Lu Jinsheng turned around and stared at her, "Get in the car."

Liang Shu lowered his head and didn't stay much longer, first let Jiujiu get into the car, then got in too, and then hugged Jiujiu on his lap.

After a while, Lu Jinsheng walked in from the other side and sat on one side.

Immediately afterwards, the door of the driver's seat was opened, and it was his assistant.

Lu Jinsheng said to the front seat: "Go to the Lujia Cemetery."

It was a gloomy weather, and the temperature was more comfortable than in previous days.

Along the way, Lu Jinsheng was speechless. Only Jiujiu talked to Liang Shu from time to time in the car. Liang Shu was not very interested. Most of the time, Jiujiu said she was listening, and occasionally had a few words with the little girl.

On the way, Gu Hansheng called Liang Shu.

She has not saved Gu Hansheng's number, but his phone number has never been changed over the years. When the string of mobile phone numbers appeared in front of her, Liang Shu could see through it.

Ai hung up the phone silently.

It didn't take long for the Lujia Cemetery to arrive.

The Lujia Cemetery is not far from the suburban cemetery. It occupies half a mountain, and all the ancestors of the Lu family are buried in it.

They got off at the foot of the mountain, and the entrance to the cemetery was halfway up the mountain.

The long stone steps stretched all the way up the low evergreen pine, and from a distance you could see the old but majestic gate of the Lujia Cemetery.

This is the first time Liang Shu has come.

The Lu family has ancestor worship activities every year, except for the ancestral hall, this is the cemetery.

During the years she was in the Lu family, she had never participated in such activities because she was not a real Lu family. This is the first time she has come to the Lu family cemetery.

As he went all the way up, Liang Shu inevitably thought of those things before.

Liang Shu deliberately let Jiujiu walk up slowly, so she followed her pace all the way, and all of them walked slowly, and Lu Jinsheng's assistant followed far behind.

"Why did the Lu family go bankrupt?" Liang Shu looked back at Lu Jinsheng, who was only two stone steps away from them, and asked.

Lu Jinsheng's expression did not change, except that his eyes were still as dark as ink, like the sky in the dark night. He said very concisely, "Assets and liabilities reach a certain level, bankruptcy liquidation is a necessary means."

"But how could the Lu Family..." Liang Shu met his eyes and suddenly didn't want to speak.

Lu Jinsheng's pupils were too dark, and it seemed that there was an abyss buried inside.

The corner of his mouth was seldom hooked, and he looked at her, "What's impossible? Everything in the world cannot be separated from the two words. The time has changed, and the rise and fall of the family is normal."

Liang Shu lowered his head and closed his eyes, "Lu Jinsheng, are you not afraid of retribution?"

The suburban wind was a bit strong, and Lu Jinsheng raised his hand to brush the broken hair off her face, and Jiujiu looked up and stared angrily.

He smiled, "Retribution? I'm not afraid, A Shu."

Liang Shu thought that Lu Jinsheng would not go in with her. When he came in, Liang Shu still felt a little strange. She frowned, "Are you going in too?"

"Is it weird to go in?"

Liang Shu didn't say that he was from the Lu family, so it was nothing to go in and worship.

The tombs of Lu Zian and Shen Lu are not together with the ancestors of the Lu family.

Like Lu Lixian, Lu Lixian has merits for the entire Lu family. As the head of the Lu family, he can occupy a seat in the Lu family's ancestral hall after his death.

Similarly, in the cemetery, he had reserved his place early in the tombs of the ancestors.

Lu Zian, Shenlu, and Lu Lixian’s tomb were not in the same direction. After entering the gate, Lu Jinsheng went in one direction. Assistant Jiang led Liang Shu and Jiujiu in the other direction.

After Jiujiu got out of the car here, she kept silent all the way.

Liang Shu was not familiar with this assistant, so he just said thank you to him along the way.

When it was about to arrive, Jiujiu seemed to understand where it was.

She seemed a little frightened, her small body leaned against Liang Shu, and whispered, "A Shu, are all the dead people living here?"

Liang Shu tightened the girl's fingers and nodded.

Lu Zian and Shen Lu are shared tombs, which are larger than the surrounding tombs. On the tombstone, the photos of the two are still fixed when they were young. At that time, they were full of spirits.

Almost when he saw the photo of the two, Liang Shu couldn't help his nose sore.

She looked at Assistant Jiang who was standing aside, "Is he responsible for the funeral of the eldest brother and sister-in-law?"

Assistant Jiang said almost without responding, "Ms. Lu is responsible for it."

Liang Shu nodded.

Jiujiu was still standing aside in a daze. The little girl quietly looked at the pictures on the monument without speaking. Her apricot eyes were wide and there were no other special emotions. The whole time was very quiet.

Liang Shu looked down at her, then squatted down, holding the girl's shoulders with firm and gentle eyebrows. She looked at the photos of Lu Zi'an and Shen Lu and said to Jiujiu, "Jiujiu, this is... Uncle and Auntie, you Kneel down and knock them three heads."

Jiujiu turned his head and stared at Liang Shu.

Liang Shu looked at the two faces on the tombstone that were almost indistinguishable from those on the tombstone. Her eyes were a little damp in her heart. She curled her lips and smiled, "Jiu Jiu, they are all very good people, you just When they were born, they were..."

She turned her head and glanced at Assistant Jiang's location, making sure that he would not hear her conversation with Jiujiu, Liang Shu continued, "They used to take care of you, but Jiujiu was too young to remember. "

When she said so, Jiujiu nodded obediently, then knelt down seriously and knocked three heads at the tombstone.

Liang Shu looked down at the little girl's slightly clumsy but pious movements, she was a little lost.

The two in the photo smiled very softly, as if they really felt it.

Liang Shu lowered his head and patted Liang Jiujiu's knees, then took out a handkerchief and wiped her palms. While doing all this, Lu Jinsheng approached from the curving path on the side, making almost no sound.

It wasn't until he got closer to Liang Shu that he suddenly raised his head and met his eyes.

She straightened up and just stared at him. He went to Lu Lixian's tomb for a while, and her temperament seemed to be colder.

There was a sense of inaccessibility all over his body.

Liang Shu took Jiujiu into his arms. Lu Jinsheng felt a little funny for her defensive action. He pulled his lips, stopped two meters away from her, and put one hand in his trouser pocket. , Looking at her, sneered: "If I can still eat you, can't you?"

"We have finished worshipping, let's go down the mountain."

Lu Jinsheng just stood still looking at her, with unpredictable emotions in her eyes, and didn't move.

Liang Shu couldn't bear it, she picked up Jiujiu and turned around.

But Lu Jinsheng stopped him: "A Shu, wait a minute."

After he finished speaking, he gave Assistant Jiang a wink, and then continued to speak to Liang Shu's back, "I have something very important to ask you. Let Assistant Jiang take the child out first, and he will wait outside. we."

Almost immediately after he finished speaking, Assistant Jiang stepped forward and hugged Jiujiu from the unsuspecting Liang Shu.

Facing this kind of scene, Jiujiu hadn't cried yet, she didn't know what had happened.

Just suddenly being hugged by a strange man who had never hugged him, Jiujiu was a little frightened, and immediately stretched out his hands towards Liang Shu, "Mom—"

Liang Shu's heart was picked up at once, and she stepped forward to hug Jiujiu from Assistant Jiang, but the other party did not give her a chance.

At this time, Jiujiu could not bear it anymore, tears were in his eyes, and he kept calling his mother aggrieved.

Liang Shu was angry and angry, "Lu Jinsheng, ask directly if you have any questions, don't bully a little girl, your assistant is not familiar with her, don't let him hold her!"

Lu Jinsheng walked over, but did not let go, "It's not very convenient. Assistant Jiang will help take care of it temporarily. I'll just talk to you for a while. Besides, it's not suitable for children because of the heavy sullen atmosphere here," he paused, he watched. Assistant Jiang, who was holding Jiujiu, said, "Go out first and wait for us outside."

The latter showered Liang Shu and nodded politely, and ignoring Liang Shu's reaction, he held the child and walked towards the gate of the cemetery.

At this time, Jiujiu finally couldn't hold it back anymore. She stretched out her hand in the direction of Liang Shu heartbreakingly, kicking her legs vigorously, and for a while, her face turned red from crying.

Liang Shu was about to chase after him, but Lu Jinsheng grabbed his arm.

She turned around, glanced at the photos of Lu Zian and Shen Lu, and said angrily: "I don't want to make trouble with you here, you quickly let go, I will be anxious if Jiujiu leaves in this situation, I..."

Lu Jinsheng also glanced at the photo, and then he set his eyes on her face with lively anger, his tone was cold and unwilling to hold his beak, "You also know that this place is not suitable for trouble, then I will ask you. , Was the child born to you and Gu Han, or Lu Zian and Shen Lu?"

Without any hesitation, Liang Shu was about to answer.

However, Lu Jinsheng preemptively interrupted, "A Shu, this is the cemetery of Lu Zian and Shen Lu. It is the place where the dead are. You had better think clearly before answering, and don't lie in front of them."

In a short paragraph, he choked back what Liang Shu was about to say.

She didn't think so much, but Lu Jinsheng's words suddenly made her panic.

She looked at the tombstone, their smiles were still warm, Liang Shu's eyelashes trembling, she stared at him, gritted her teeth, "You are so capable, you can check it out."

The man holding her finger lifted his lips when he heard the words, his expression was a bit feminine, and he said softly: "I still want to hear you say it in person. You said in front of them today, who is the child? You can't let them be there. There is no peace under Jiuquan, you robbed the child for no reason."

The hand that was still free almost fell on Lu Jinsheng's face, but Lu Jinsheng didn't give her this opportunity.

Liang Shu's teeth were itchy with hatred, and she stared, "Lu Jinsheng, why are you so shameless!"

Lu Jinsheng let go of her hand and felt much better than before. He said, "A Shu, I have even more shamelessness. You do not belong to the Lu family. Lu Zian and Shen Lu have passed away. The only ones closest to them are now. I... that child's custody right belongs to me, too."

"Are you going to grab Jiujiu with me?" Liang Shu's blood seemed to be freezing quickly.

However, the man just laughed: "It depends on whether you are willing to compromise for that child."
