Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Gao Family in Dongcheng
"Auntie, what is this stew, why is it all medicine. After Gao Shuai sat down, he looked at the kitchen and asked.
"Oh, my mom is not in good health, she went to a lot of doctors, and every time she brought back a lot of medicinal herbs, after so many years, she didn't get better. Ouyang Yan said as she picked up an apple from the coffee table and peeled it skillfully with a fruit knife.
After a while, Zhang Xiuying came out, sat down with a smile on her face, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Master Gao, I pulled Ouyang Yan out because of something, it's okay for you to be home alone." ”
Gao Shuai smiled in return and said politely, "It's okay, Auntie." ”
Seeing that the time was almost up, Gao Shuai was about to leave, and then Ouyang Yan also told Zhang Xiuying that she was going back to her villa, and she happened to go with Gao Shuai.
went out to pick up the car, until she got in the car, Zhang Xiuying was still telling Ouyang Yan that girls are very dangerous outside, and they must protect themselves, and they also left some serious words for Gao Shuai.
"Master Gao, since you are together, live a good life, and when you think it is appropriate, take this ghost girl to your house, and by the way, pick a time for both parents to sit down and talk. ”
Zhang Xiuying hasn't seen her daughter for ten years, so she naturally misses her very much, but she is also very worried about her daughter's age, so she doesn't want her daughter to become a leftover girl, and she is in her fifties, looking forward to her daughter getting married and having children, and being able to hold a big grandson or something.
"Mom, what about the Gao family, they are the most important partners of our Ouyang family, if we really need to stop urgently, won't our Ouyang family be finished?" Ouyang Yan didn't forget to worry about this matter for her family before leaving, this was also caused by her own escape from marriage back then, and she should bear it herself, even if she can't bear it, she has to say something.
"Let's talk about this again, you don't know your father's temper, he forced you to marry the young master of the Gao family back then, and it was a last resort, now that so many years have passed, he doesn't care about this matter anymore, as for business matters, he has also found some ways to replace him. ”
After listening to her mother's words, Ouyang Yan felt very guilty all the way, didn't talk much, just looked at the scenery in the dark night passing by outside the window, and as there were more and more stars, it was getting closer and closer to the city.
"What's the matter, I'm still thinking about the meeting gift I gave. Gao Shuai saw that the other party was not very happy, so he asked patiently while concentrating on driving.
Jiangcheng City is divided into the western district and the eastern district, and the city is a second-tier city with a population of several million, not to mention the area. The East and West Sides are separated by a wide river, known locally as the Nu River, which divides the city in two. And Ouyang Yan and her parents' villas are in the West District, but one is in the north, and the other is inevitable, and it takes about an hour to cross the entire city.
"No, I don't. ”
"Actually, after you went out, I already found out that your father took out the things I sent, and he couldn't put them down, and he also said to your housekeeper Zhu Jun, this thing is a good thing, and he likes it very much. It can be seen that he is very satisfied with what I gave him, so don't have too much pressure. This meeting didn't take you seriously, it seems that in ten years, the impact of that incident on them has been eliminated. Gao Shuai continued to say comfortingly.
Ouyang Yan nodded, and said casually: "It's good that he's satisfied, what I'm most worried about is the family business, our family is in the furniture business, and the precious materials needed, such as golden silk nanmu or something, need to be purchased from the elevated side, and there is no other way to do it here." These precious materials on the elevated highway are not available anywhere, and they are exactly the wood that our Ouyang family needs. For this reason, my father also took great pains, but he didn't expect that I would run away from marriage and bring so many disasters to the family. ”
"It's okay, it's going to pass, don't blame yourself too much, your body is important, don't think about anything else at this time, first recuperate your body, cure the disease on your body, and then think about other things." Gao Shuai continued to drive forward with the accelerator, passing through the tide of the sea of people, galloping under the neon lights, and the mottled shadows were reflected in the car, which looked unique.
Ouyang Yan straightened her hair, threw it behind her, took a deep breath, and muttered, "You're right, I'll cure this disease, with you, I'm not afraid of anything." As he spoke, the slender jade hand reached over and gently touched Gao Shuai's hand on the armrest box, as if it was discharging, and then retracted after touching it, more like a test.
Gao Shuai deliberately raised his hand and put it on the steering wheel, pretending to be calm, but in fact, the contact just now had already made his body react greatly.
"I'll take you home, and then I'll take a taxi back. ”
After about half an hour, the car passed through the city again and entered the suburbs, and it was about to arrive, so Gao Shuai reminded him.
"Why are you leaving, the medicine you gave me is gone, do you have to collect herbs for me again to boil them?" Ouyang Yan pouted, and with an idea, she thought of such a good excuse, no matter how cunning the other party was, she would definitely not be able to escape this time.
"Tomorrow, now that it's like this, you can't let me go collect herbs in the middle of the night. ”
"Then can't you stay with me?"
Gao Shuai directly and decisively rejected the other party's kindness, and stepped on the accelerator to come to the door of the villa. Because the housekeeper and aunt returned to the countryside, the house was pitch black, and there were no street lights, which was not much different from a grave.
After getting out of the car, Ouyang Yan went directly to Gao Shuai's side, in addition to opening the car door for him, another reason was to guard the other party and not let the cooked duck fly.
Gao Shuai got out of the car and saw Ouyang Yan in front of him, only two feet away from him, and he could hear the other party's rapid breathing.
"Hurry in, I'll have to walk back." Gao Shuai looked at the villa in front of him, not to mention a girl, even a man, and he didn't dare to enter it when he got here. Such a luxurious house has become so eerie and terrifying at this moment, it makes people shudder.
"You can't bear to let me go back alone. ”
"Ouyang Yan, where have you been. ”
At this time, a familiar voice came from behind him, and when the man came over to take a look, it was none other than Zheng Shifu, who had just been beaten twice by Gao Shuai, but it was obvious that his injuries had healed, and the gauze had been removed, and it was obvious that those two times did not cause much damage to the other party.
