It's just a small apartment, and the back garden is naturally not as gorgeous as the Gu family in City A, but a few unknown small flowers are sparsely planted, decorating the space, making this green space not only monotonous.

He looked at the leaves that were gently swaying in the wind, and the contours of his side face were cold and hard, but with a little imperceptible despicability: "Zhou Zhining's incident at the beginning, it is true that I didn't handle it well, and she has so many grievances now, a large part of the reason is also because of me, Nan Qian is right, I am indeed not a qualified brother." ”

Su Fang's heart tightened: "Don't ...... like this"

Gu Dongjue shook his head lightly, he didn't mean to feel sorry for himself when he said this, but the words Gu Nanqian said today touched him a little.

Su Fang pressed his face against his thick and sturdy back, and the slightest warmth penetrated through the thin fabric.

The two stood quietly for a while, feeling that the night breeze was cold, Gu Dongjue was afraid that she would catch a cold, and just wanted to take her back to the room, when the window on the second floor was suddenly opened, Gu Xijue's eager face appeared there, and he shouted: "Brother, big brother, come quickly!"

Noticing that the room he was in was still Gu's mother's, both of them suddenly felt bad, and they couldn't say anything, so they turned around and ran to the second floor.

Gu Xijue was waiting for them at the top of the stairs, and as soon as they ran up, he hurriedly said, "Brother, Mom can speak!!"

Gu's mother can speak?!

The two of them were shocked, and their steps entered the room faster, and sure enough, they heard Gu's mother lying on the bed, holding Gu Beiyi's hand tightly, and spit out weakly but clearly in her mouth: "She...... She ......"

Su Fang ran over and grabbed her hand: "Mom, Mom." ”

As soon as she saw Su Fang coming, Gu's mother changed to grab her hand, but she still repeated one word: "She...... She ......"

She is like a baby who has just learned to speak, she wants to say a lot of words, but she just doesn't know how to pronounce it, her tongue seems to be knotted, and she can't spit out the second word, Gu Dongjue looked at it for a while, felt that Gu's mother was exhausted, and hurriedly pressed her shoulder to let her lie down: "Forget it, Mom, don't talk now, rest for a while, I've already called the doctor to come, and I'll talk about it when the doctor comes." ”

The doctor came quickly and immediately examined Gu's mother, who was very cooperative and did not shout, surrounded by a group of people, all waiting for the results of the doctor's examination.

The doctor turned off the flashlight, looked back and smiled lightly: "The vocal cords have recovered well, originally according to this recovery status, she will be able to speak normally in a few days, but she pulled too hard just now, and she has already injured inside, so it may be a few days later, but it doesn't matter, the old man absorbs the drug quickly, and it can't be a few days late." ”

The brothers of the Gu family breathed a sigh of relief.

The doctor added: "There is also a cerebral thrombosis, and if I continue to cooperate with the treatment, I believe I can recover soon." ”

Gu Xijue was very happy, he lived in Washington for nearly a month, and finally saw the dawn of recovery: "Thank you, doctor, thank you, and please make a special trip." ”

"You're welcome, that's what I'm supposed to do. ”

"Then I'll send you down. ”

"Okay. ”

Gu Xijue sent the doctor away, and Su Fang sat on the edge of Gu's mother's bed, holding her hand, and almost cried with joy: "Mom, you can almost speak." ”

"This is the best news in recent times. Gu Beiyi also had joy on his face.

Gu Mu looked at them with her eyes open, and tried to finish what she wanted to say, but no matter how she tried, there was only one word she could say: "She...... She ......"

Afraid that she would tear her vocal cords again, Gu Dongjue put her holding Su Fang's hand back into the quilt, and said softly: "Mom, you rest first, don't talk again, the doctor said that if you hurt your vocal cords again, it will be more difficult to recover, don't worry about these days, when you get better, you can say whatever you want." ”

As if realizing that she couldn't talk much at all, Gu's mother finally quieted down slowly.

Outside the door.

Because she said those words to Gu Dongjue impulsively, Gu Nanqian already regretted it after calming down, but the words she said were equivalent to spilled water, and she couldn't take it back, so she didn't dare to go in directly at this time, she looked at the door for a while, and left with her head down when she saw that Gu's mother was fine.

Returning to his room in despair, Gu Nanqian saw that his mobile phone had received a few new text messages, and at first glance, it was still from Zhou Zhining: "I couldn't contact you all night last night, where did you go?"

She looked back at the three words with a blank look: "It's nothing." ”

After a while, Zhou Zhining sent again: "Is there any situation with your brother today?"

"Nope. ”

"No?"

After she asked rhetorically, she also sent a sinister expression, obviously threatening, Gu Nanqian suppressed her imminent anger, and replied with a snap: "What can happen? Are you looking forward to something happening to my family every day? Let me tell you, my family is fine! My mother is almost able to speak, and soon our family will be full of harmony and reunion!"

Zhou Zhining on the other end of the phone looked at this line of words, slowly pressed the lock screen, leaned back on the chair, and smiled inexplicably.

The next day, Gu Dongjue and Su Fang went to the hospital to get Gu's mother's examination report, and Zhou Zhining came to the door at this time.

She rang the doorbell, and it was Gu Xijue who opened the door, and when she saw that it was her, she raised her eyebrows: "What are you doing here?"

Zhou Zhining said as a matter of course: "Of course I'm here to ask for money, otherwise what else can I do?"

"Then it's really unfortunate that you came, my eldest brother is out, and he can only talk to you about this matter, and we have no right to decide. Gu Xijue looked at her, inexplicably feeling ridiculous, "I said how short of money are you?

Zhou Zhining didn't feel embarrassed, and said generously: "Of course I'm short of money now, those creditors are now living in my house, I am threatened by them every day, I can't be at peace for a moment, I can't even sleep well at night, I just want to get money from you and return it to them, let them leave early, and then I will go to my mother to rescue me again, and go to a place where no one knows us to live again, and no longer ask about the people and things in the past." ”

"Yo he, you're planning so far ahead, you've even thought about the rest of your life?"

Zhou Zhining sighed a little melancholy: "Do you think I want to, I'm only in my twenties now, but I've been tortured by life and exhausted physically and mentally, so my biggest pursuit in the second half of my life is to be relaxed, happy, and unrestrained." You don't have to worry that I will regret it after taking the money and poke everything out, because I don't think that the identity of an illegitimate daughter is worth showing off, my mother was not rare back then, and I am not rare now. ”

Although Gu Xijue said that he grew up with her, he was actually not familiar with her at all, and he heard a lot of strange things about her in the past few days, and thought it was what kind of superlative, but he didn't expect it, it sounded quite reasonable.

Zhou Zhining tilted her head and asked with a smile: "After standing at the door for so long, don't you invite me in to sit down?"

Gu Xijue smiled and turned sideways to let her in.

Zhou Zhining changed her shoes at the entrance and asked casually, "Where is Nan Qian?"

"Upstairs. ”

"I haven't seen her in a long time, so let her come down and talk to me. She slowly walked to the sofa and sat down, her legs folded, and the short skirt made her legs look more slender and fair, "I originally felt that we were compatible, but I didn't expect that we were still related, and now it became cordial." ”

Gu Xijue was a wanderer in his bones, he was born to be ruffian when he spoke, and asked with a smile: "I am also related to you, why don't you look at me kindly?"

Zhou Zhining shook her head with a smile, playing with taste: "I heard that Second Young Master Gu, what you like most is adventure, and you have even been to southeastern California, which is known as the Grand Canyon of Death, it sounds like a dangerous person, I don't dare to provoke it." ”

"No matter how dangerous the place is, it is dead, as long as you find the right direction, there is always a way to crack it, but what is more dangerous than the place is the human heart. Gu Xijue pointed to his heart, the hereditary Danfeng eyes, heroic and compelling, with his deliberately suppressed voice, there was a bit of danger, "Because you don't know, it's calculating what you're doing the next moment, and you must always be on guard...... Thinking about it this way, isn't the human heart the most dangerous?"

Zhou Zhining was as motionless as a mountain, and agreed with her head: "What you said makes sense, in fact, I have always thought so." ”

With that, she got up and said, "I'll go talk to Nan Qian." ”

Gu Xijue clasped her hands around her chest, leaned on the back of the sofa and said, "I advise you not to provoke her, she launched a rush, but even my eldest brother dared to scold." ”

Zhou Zhining had already gone up a few flights of stairs, and said with a concerned face: "Is it so serious?" I want to go and see, how to say that I am also her sister, I have come to the house, I can't go to see it." ”

Listening to her blood relationship on the left and sisterhood on the right, Gu Xijue laughed: "I adapt to the role quite quickly." ”

Zhou Zhining bit the straw: "After all, such a thing as bloodline is very wonderful. ”

Watching her go upstairs, Gu Xijue turned around, her face was still a little unfinished, Gu Beijiao had been sitting in the dining room, and after watching their interaction throughout the whole process, she asked her brother meaningfully: "You had a good time chatting with her?"

Gu Xijue licked her lips: "Frankly speaking, if she is not related to me, I really want to play with her." ”

They had investigated Zhou Zhining before and knew that she was a woman with a very chaotic private life, Gu Beijiao was a conservative, and she couldn't accept such a woman the most, so she was speechless for a while, half loud, and shook her head and threw out an eight-character comment: "I can't understand your taste." ”

"That's because you haven't played with women, you don't understand. Gu Xijue sat on the table, took his books and read, they were all professional books, he couldn't read a word, threw them back to him, looked at the ceiling and said with a smile, "There are four kinds of people in this world, in addition to men and women, there are also attractive women, and attractive and intelligent women." Miss Zhou is obviously the last one, she doesn't need to say anything, as long as she stands there, she can make a man commotion. ”

Gu Beiyi shook his head, not daring to agree.

Zhou Zhining went upstairs, but did not go directly to Gu Nanqian, but went to Gu's mother's room.
