Chapter Eighty-Six: A Helpless Mystery
Text Chapter 86 Helpless Mystery
During the meal, Gu Qianzhen was still full of enthusiasm for the new uncle, Qin Tianhai kept smiling and saying thank you, Gu Xinrui watched from the side, although she was a little helpless, but she knew that her mother was also kind, so she just smiled.
After eating, the couple sat at the Gu family for a while, chatting with the Gu family.
Gu Qianzhen secretly called Xinrui to her room and handed her an old-fashioned jade pendant.
Xinrui took the jade pendant and asked her mother in some surprise, "Mom, what is this?"
Gu Qianzhen explained to her daughter with a smile in her eyes: "This is the thing that your grandmother left me to live in, this thing is not about the value, it is mainly about the effect of warding off evil spirits, leaving it by your side will always keep you and the people around you safe." ”
As soon as Xinrui heard this, she was a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly handed the jade pendant back to her mother, and muttered at the same time: "Mom, you should keep such a meaningful thing for yourself, or leave it to your two sisters or Xinyan's daughter-in-law in the future, Xinrui is afraid that she can't afford it." ”
Gu Qianzhen held her daughter's hand in disgust, and said to her seriously: "Xinrui, Mom knows who in the Gu family is most qualified to get this jade pendant," she said, tears in her eyes, "You have seen the Gu family's dedication to your mother all these years, but Huangtian has finally lived up to his wishes, and now it is considered whether Ji Tailai has a good home, and my mother gave you this jade pendant, just hoping that your marriage with Tianhai will last forever and grow old." ”
Gu Xinrui listened to her mother's heartfelt words, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, if her mother knew that her marriage with Qin Tianhai was only an agreement marriage, then what would she think in her heart?
Gu Qianzhen lowered her voice with joy and said to Gu Xinrui: "Do you know? This time, my mother went back to the old alley to visit the door, and those neighbors looked at me with a look in their eyes, tsk, it was like looking at the queen mother, everyone knew that my Gu family had found a good son-in-law who was particularly rich, tsk, that envy, your Aunt Cheng and Aunt Wu still pulled me hard and asked me to be a matchmaker for their daughter, and I couldn't push it off, hehe." ”
Gu Xinrui was not particularly helpful when she heard this, she whispered to her mother: "Mom, you and my sister are usually low-key." ”
Gu Qianzhen glared at her daughter and said, "Mom didn't say anything, it's just that the reputation of this Qin family is too big, not only the alley where we used to live, but also this newly moved community, who doesn't know what their Qin family does?" There are always neighbors in this community who take the initiative to talk to me, saying that your eldest daughter and son-in-law are as beautiful as a movie star, and that it is better to have a son than a girl, and to have a son and worry about his future employment and daughter-in-law, but as long as a girl marries a good family, the rest of the family will be guaranteed, hehe. ”
Gu Xinrui only felt like a clown who had been put on a sorghum at the moment, she couldn't go up or down, so she could only stay there.
She sighed helplessly in her heart, exchanged a few more pleasantries with her mother, and then got up and went to the living room.
In the living room, Qin Tianhai was chatting with Gu Xinrui's two younger sisters.
Xinlei has already gone to work at the branch of Qinfeng Group, although the initial position is just an ordinary assistant, but it is also very promising.
When she went to work, she was dressed differently than before, her hairstyle was the same as that of her eldest sister, she had a decent clear soup noodle style, and the clothes on her body also looked more mature.
At this moment, she was sitting next to Qin Tianhai, chatting with him, Qin Tianhai asked her, "The work is quite smooth, right?"
Xinlei smiled at Qin Tianhai and replied gently: "It's very convenient, I have someone ordered by my brother-in-law to take me, so I can get started quickly." As he spoke, he handed a peeled apple to Qin Tianhai.
Qin Tianhai looked at the pretty sister-in-law with a smile, nodded, and said, "That's good, learn more from the old people in the company, and I will let the branch manager slowly lift you up." ”
Hearing this, Xinlei's face flashed with joy that could not be concealed, she smiled at Qin Tianhai and said softly, "Thank you, eldest brother-in-law!"
At this time, Xinrui had already walked over, and Xinlei hurriedly stood up and gave up her position to the eldest sister.
Xinrui sat down beside Qin Tianhai and said to him with a little disgust: "Xinlei just went to work, don't promise her too much, if she is reluctantly allowed to sit in a high position due to her lack of ability, there will be people in the company who are not convinced, let her come by herself step by step." As he spoke, he looked at his sister with pity.
Xinlei listened to her sister's words, lowered her head and rubbed her feet on the ground, without squeaking.
Qin Tianhai looked at Xinlei silently, and then said to Xinrui lightly: "Okay, I know it in my own heart, so don't worry about it." ”
Gu Xinrui wanted to refute, but she immediately remembered that in the marriage agreement between them, there was a clause that she wanted to maintain her husband's dignity in front of outsiders and not allow him to refute his face in front of outsiders, so at this moment Gu Xinrui had to endure it and no longer express her opinions.
After sitting at Gu's house for a while, the two got up to say goodbye, and Gu Qianzhen and her two daughters sent them downstairs.
Gu Qianzhen and Xinrui walked behind, she grabbed her daughter's hand and whispered to her: "Rui, you can give your mother and our family a face, so you must be cautious in the Qin family, bear with the small things where you can bear them, don't lose the big ones because of the small, it's not easy to find such a good marriage, you don't know how many girls envy you." ”
When her mother said this, what could Xinrui say, so she nodded at her mother with a reluctant smile, held her hand tightly and said, "Okay, Mom, I will pay more attention, and you should also take care of your health." ”
Gu Qianzhen told her daughter again: "You can have a child as soon as possible, only with a child can you stabilize your position in the Qin family, and only then can you tie your husband's heart." ”
Gu Xinrui nodded in response: "Okay, I'll think about this later." ”
The group sent Qin Tianhai and Gu Xinrui downstairs, and when they saw them getting into the car, Gu Qianzhen was still standing there, waving at her daughter and son-in-law, her eyes full of anticipation and eagerness.
Gu Xinrui looked at her mother's reluctant expression, and felt very uncomfortable, her mother was not wrong, she was tortured too hard by life, so once she had a good life, she was afraid of losing, and what could she do?
###
Qin Tianhai ordered the driver to send Gu Xinrui back to Qin's mansion, and he went to the company.
When Gu Xinrui returned to Qin's house, her mother-in-law Liu Baoshuang was not at home, and the maid said that she and a few noble wives went to the senior club to do some activities.
Gu Xinrui, who was bored, walked around the mansion, and came to the annex building unconsciously.
The rooms in this annex building are generally empty, and although the Qin Mansion has a large population, there are not too many rooms, so many rooms are not occupied.
Gu Xinrui remembered that in the room distribution account book that her mother-in-law showed her, this building was mainly used to store old furniture and items, so she casually pushed open a door and looked at it.
To her surprise, there were not only some old furniture in this room, but also many pictures of a young woman, which were some years old, and they looked like old pictures from more than 20 years ago, so even if they were colorful, the colors were a little distorted.
The woman in the photo is very young, she doesn't look to be more than twenty-five years old, she has a sweet smile, and she looks like a person......
Gu Xinrui carefully compared them in her mind, and after a while, she suddenly realized with an "oh" that this woman looks very much like her mother-in-law Liu Bully, so in other words, these photos are likely to be the image of her mother-in-law when she was young?
Just when Gu Xinrui was thinking nonsense, Sister Zhang, the steward in the main building, came over.
Seeing Sister Zhang, Gu Xinrui, who was in deep thought, was slightly startled.
Sister Zhang asked Gu Xinrui softly, "Grandma, why did you come here?"
Gu Xinrui smiled at Sister Zhang a little embarrassed, and then said, "Just go around, I remember that no one lives here, right?"
Sister Zhang smiled reluctantly, and then replied noly: "There is no one to live in, but the wife of this room is generally not allowed to let others easily step in, and usually this room is also locked. ”
Gu Xinrui let out an "oh", and then said, "Okay, I'll leave immediately," but then she looked at the photos on the wall, and still asked, "That's the wife, right?"
Sister Zhang glanced at the photo and whispered to Gu Xinrui: "That's not Mrs., it's Mrs. Liu's sister." ”
"Miss Liu?" Xinrui asked curiously.
Sister Zhang lowered her voice and approached Gu Xinrui's ear, and whispered to her: "Grandma, don't say that I told you, Mrs. doesn't let the servants talk about Miss Liu behind her back, if she knows, we will leave." ”
When Gu Xinrui heard this, she nodded understandingly, and said softly to Sister Zhang: "Don't worry, I won't say this to a third person." ”
Sister Zhang's nervousness eased at this time, and she nodded at Gu Xinrui with a smile.
The two of them were about to close the door and leave, when Qin Tianhao walked in.
Qin Tianhao, who was at home, was wearing a sweater with a chicken heart collar, no tie, the collar of the shirt inside was open at will, and the lower body was a pair of egg-white-colored slacks, with his tall figure and sunny appearance, he looked even more radiant.
Seeing Gu Xinrui and Sister Zhang coming out of this room, Qin Tianhao smiled and asked Gu Xinrui, "Sister-in-law, why did you come here?"
Gu Xinrui smiled and said to him, "Oh, it's nothing, just go around." But Sister Zhang looked at Qin Tianhao's expression and was very nervous.
Qin Tianhao casually closed the door and said to Gu Xinrui: "I'm bored at home, right? I'll accompany you to the fun places in the house." ”
Gu Xinrui smiled in agreement, and the two of them walked towards the outside of the annex building together, with Sister Zhang behind them, locking the door of the room they had entered just now.
