rose ashes

The sunlight fell brightly on the ground, generously covering the figure in the center. Luo Jiancheng just watched him walk in step by step. His every move was dignified. He raised his eyes slightly and nodded to Luo Jiancheng as a courtesy.

Ye Gu stood in front of Uncle Wu nonchalantly, knowing nothing: "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
"Is it because Ah He went to the airport to pick me up and didn't stay at home that made my father-in-law so angry?"

Luo Jiancheng took a deep breath and sat down at the first seat. "Since I'm going to pick you up, then it's okay. Ah He didn't come with you?"

Ye Gu fiddled with his fingers, and his joints made noises from time to time, which seemed extremely abrupt in the living room. After a long interval, his expression became dazed, as if he had just heard Luo Jiancheng's words. He chuckled, but the chuckle disappeared the next second, and his eyes darkened at a speed perceptible to the naked eye.
He sat up straight, clasped his hands, and looked at Luo Jiancheng: "How can I come again? What if Ah He makes you unhappy again and gets locked up? Don't you agree, Mr. Luo?"

Ye Gu's tone was extremely cold, and his previous nonchalant and casual attitude was swept away. His attitude was extremely arrogant and fearless as always, like a growling little wolf.

Luo Jiancheng cared about his reputation. Seeing that there were servants around him, he naturally felt uncomfortable if he let others see the younger generation disrespecting him. But the person in front of him was a little different, so he could only make a joke mixed with a warning.
"Agu, you are really joking. How can you exaggerate family matters like this? You should think twice before you say something."

Then, he waved his hand and was about to send away the servants around him, but was interrupted by Ye Gu.
"Uncle Wu, please sit down. I came here specially to pick you up."

Luo Jiancheng's pupils trembled slightly, and he glanced at Uncle Wu, trying to let him leave on his own. However, he didn't expect Ye Gu to not give him a chance. He directly grabbed Uncle Wu's wrist and pressed him down next to him.

"Mr. Luo, I won't beat around the bush. We are all busy people, don't you think?" Ye Gu paused and casually stretched out his hand to hook his head. Liu Min understood what he meant and handed over a file bag in a brown paper bag.
"I think you should take a look at this document."

Ye Gu pushed the file bag in front of Luo Jiancheng, tapped the table with one finger, and then withdrew his hand.

They were all thousand-year-old foxes, and Luo Jiancheng was no exception. How could he be upset by a junior? His identity as a businessman made him cautious. He laughed heartily: "A Gu really loves to joke. There is nothing I don't know about what I should know, and I won't know anything else that I shouldn't know. Don't you agree?"

Ye Gu was relaxed and not in a hurry. He nodded in agreement, "That's true, but you should take a look at it. This is something you should know. I am also considering my father-in-law. It's really pitiful to be used by others and kept in the dark."

Luo Jiancheng listened to every word Ye Gu said. He pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. The air was filled with a silent smoke confrontation, and the temperature dropped to freezing point. Both of them were not simple characters.
Liu Min behind him couldn't help swallowing and remained silent.

Luo Jiancheng was half-believing and half-doubting. He slowly pulled the document over and slowly opened it with the cotton string. Ye Gu seemed to be searching around the house and asked casually, "Why don't I see Luo Ke at home?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his hand that was winding the rope froze for a moment. Luo Jiancheng calmly recovered and said evasively, "Maybe he went out to play with his friends."
When Ye Gu mentioned this matter just now, he realized that Luo Ke had not been at home for many days, but he still didn't want to leave any handle in Ye Gu's hands.

Ye Gu sneered and said nothing. He sat leisurely on the sofa, paying attention to Luo Jiancheng. His eyes were cold and stern, as if he was looking at a living being.

Luo Jiancheng looked at the document. The further he read, the colder his face became. In the end, his face turned ashen. However, due to the presence of other people, he hid his emotions in his heart as he was used to it.

Ye Gu didn't bother beating around the bush and got straight to the point: "So you can't say that Aunt Yang's death has nothing to do with you, right? But as to how much you know about the process, I'm not sure. Maybe you know everything, or maybe you don't know anything at all. But Mr. Luo, I hope you can give Luo Yang an explanation for this matter. It's not her who wants to pursue this matter now, but I want to pursue it to the end."

After a long pause, Ye Gu turned his wrist and grabbed Luo Jiancheng, saying in a hoarse voice: "We are all in business, you should be very clear about my methods, and you should know whether I am a good person or not. I was able to give you all my shares in exchange for marriage, so naturally I have a way to make you lose."

Luo Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled, his eyes deepening, "It's not a good thing for young people to be too arrogant. Ah Gu, I have come this far, do you think anyone can easily bring me down? You are still too young, and you think too simply, Ah Gu."

Ye Gu just smiled and looked at him, and quickly put down his crossed legs. "Don't worry, there is an old saying, 'If you don't want others to know, don't do it yourself.' I have been educated like this since I was a child by my grandfather. Are you really so sure that what you did is so flawless? I don't think so, otherwise, how could I know this document in such detail?"

Luo Jiancheng looked at Ye Gu who was calm and composed in front of him. He felt that he had been suppressed by him invisibly since he entered the door. Now it seemed that he had always been at a disadvantage.

"You probably don't want others to know that Zhang Peilan is Dr. Hu Wenlan, one of the fatal people who caused Aunt Yang to leave."
Ye Gu looked at Luo Jiancheng, neither humble nor arrogant, with a look of disdain and no fear. When Luo Yang came home that day and pointed out that Zhang Peilan was Hu Wenlan, he was not that nervous, because he knew that identity was not solid evidence.

But it is undeniable that Ye Gu's detailed files today did cause his computer to crash for a long time.

When Yang Yue was diagnosed with psychological problems, Luo Jiancheng immediately took Yang Yue to the best private hospital for treatment. The first four courses of treatment went very smoothly, and Yang Yue's condition was indeed improving. However, Luo Jiancheng's mood was not as high as expected, and everyone thought that he was depressed because of fatigue from work.

But starting from the fifth course of treatment, Yang Yue's attending physician was suddenly replaced. The reason given was that he was replaced by Dr. Hu Wenlan, who was more experienced and better and had returned from abroad. Yang Yue did not care.
But with the arrival of the more outstanding and experienced doctor Hu Wenlan, Yang Yue's condition, which had just improved, began to take a turn for the worse. Every time Luo Yang went to see Yang Yue, her mood was very unstable, and it kept getting worse.

Just like that, everything went on silently until Yang Yue left. Only Luo Yang's emotions had fallen to the freezing point, and he was at a loss.

Hu Wenlan is a silent pusher. As a well-known psychologist in the field, how could he not know how to make someone collapse as quickly as possible.

One thing that cannot be ignored is that after Hu Wenlan took over Yang Yue's treatment, the Luo Group began to trade equipment with that hospital. Every time, the contact person was Hu Wenlan. It was also from that time that Luo Jiancheng began to have a secret relationship with Hu Wenlan. Of course, it is also possible that the two of them had already had a relationship before, and they just used such a high-sounding excuse to make it more convenient for them to meet.

Maybe Luo Jiancheng was completely unaware and just changed his mind, just no longer loved her, or maybe he had known it for a long time, but none of this mattered anymore. Ye Gu just needed him to give an explanation to Luo Yang and Yang Yue, and let those who should be punished be punished. No one's life is so easily fooled, and this person is Luo Yang's mother.

This consultation record is enough to explain everything, enough to show that Yang Yue’s departure was not accidental.

Luo Jiancheng seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. He did not speak for a long time, staring at the document on the table.

"These don't prove anything," he was still trying to justify himself and save face for Zhang Peilan. "Medical accidents are common. You are making a fuss about nothing. Does every accident like this have to be a conspiracy theory? Who would want to be a doctor then?"

Ye Gu was not in a hurry, he just tapped the desktop and said, "What a touching sentiment, but you can take another look at the last document to see if you are still willing to deceive yourself."

The final document was very simple, just a DNA test and the answer given by the research institute. It had an official seal on it and could not be forged. Ye Gu pulled out a recorder from his side and pressed the switch.

A familiar voice came from the recorder: "Only by making him believe that you are his biological daughter can we gain a firm foothold in the long run. You must strive to be good and don't be like your useless father, who fell into the mud and could not get up for the rest of his life."
"I can agree to your conditions and apologize to Luo Yang, but I also have a condition. I want you to help Xu Changhuan find a decent and easy job in your name. His legs and feet are not good, and he will feel uncomfortable on rainy days. He can't do a job that is too tiring. If you can agree to this condition, I can agree to the rest."
Ye Gu's voice appeared, "Why?"
After a long while, Luo Ke's voice trembled and she endured it: "Because he is my father, I know he did nothing wrong, those were all accusations against him because of what my mother did, but I am no longer the sensible daughter in his mind, so I will not see him again. His daughter Xu Ke died when she called someone else father."

At that time, Luo Jiancheng's eyes were complicated and turbulent, like rolling clouds and rain, with ink mixed with blue-gray, which was a gloomy sign before the thunderstorm.

Finally, Ye Gu seemed to remember something, "By the way, I recorded it, you don't mind, do you?"
Luo Ke did not hesitate, his voice was cold and thin: "Since I came to see you, I am ready to leave. They have to know it."

Luo Jiancheng's face completely lost all color, leaving only disbelief and the raging anger hidden beneath the iceberg.

He could not believe that his beloved daughter was actually working for someone else and that everything was in vain in the end.
After a lifetime of hard work, he gained nothing, but Luo Jiancheng was a person who never gave up. How could he believe that he had managed a family to this point?

Ye Gu said no more, buttoned up his suit and stood up slowly, "Please think about it carefully, and contact my assistant when you have made up your mind." Then he left Liu Min's business card on the table and left the Luo family with Uncle Wu.

But as soon as he arrived at the door, he was surrounded by a group of reporters. They seemed to be well prepared and the microphone was about to be put to Ye Gu's mouth.
"Excuse me, Mr. Ye, is the rose tattoo on your body really because of an old love?"
"How do you explain this?"
"Since you have an old love, why do you defend Miss Luo who has been abandoned by the Luo family?"
