Chapter 471: Distant Cousin
When Gu Er heard what was being said outside, he was stunned.
The surname is Hua, cousin......
Her mother's surname is indeed Hua, if she says that relatives should be over there, but she doesn't remember hearing her talk about it.
And when something happened to her family, all the relatives on her father's side cut off their relationship, and her mother's side did not show up at all.
Perhaps, she didn't have the impression that she had a family on her mother's side since she was a child, so she always thought she was an orphan!
But now a cousin suddenly came out, Gu Er had a strong doubt in his heart, and quickly got dressed and walked out.
The servant was still waiting for her reply.
Gu Yi asked as he went downstairs, "What else did that Miss Hua say?"
"I just said that my name is Hua Qingqing, I am your cousin, and I have something important to do with you......"
Gu Er raised her eyebrows and asked her to invite someone in.
She sat on the sofa and waited, and in a short time someone came in with a young girl. Touching the appearance of about twenty-one or twelve years old, she looks delicate, she doesn't think it's very beautiful at first glance, but it's better than looking, after a few glances, Gu Er has a number in her heart, the girl's eyebrows do have a bit of imagination with her mother, seriously speaking, she is more like her mother than her! It's just that the other party's situation is obviously not very good, although the clothes and shoes on his body are clean, but the styles are all from a few years ago......
"Sit down. ”
Gu Er greeted him, not cordial, but not cold.
Seeing the girl sit down restrainedly, as if she didn't dare to raise her head, she asked straight to the point: "Miss Hua Qingqing, I'm sorry, my mother didn't mention her relatives, so I don't know who you are, if it's convenient, can you say it?"
Hua Qingqing was extremely embarrassed, her face turned red, and it took a while to muster up the courage to raise her face: "I'm sorry, my father's name is Hua Guoqiang, and he is your mother's cousin." It's just, it's just a little farther away. I don't know exactly what I know, but my father told me when he passed away last year. I didn't mean to bother you, I came here to join my mother. But ......"
She paused for a moment, hurriedly took out a letter from her washed white backpack and handed it over, and said hurriedly: "I looked for the address she gave me, only to find that the house there had been demolished, and I asked all the people around her, and they didn't know where she had moved." I can't help it, so I came here. ”
Gu Er took the opened letter and looked at the address on it.
It's over there in the old town.
Whether it was demolition or not, she didn't know, after all, she rarely went there.
However, in recent years, the government has indeed carried out renovation projects in the old city, so it is not surprising that the old houses will be demolished.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Then you come here, do you need any help?"
The other party also said that it was a distant relative, and if she could help, it would be okay for her to help, if she couldn't help, then there was no way.
Hua Qingqing was ashamed, and nodded his head with some fear: "Actually, I've been here for almost a month, but I haven't been able to find my mother." I originally rented a house, but today the landlord drank a lot of wine and kept slamming the door to get in, I, I was so scared, and finally I had no choice but to jump out of the window and run out......"
She bit her lower lip hard, "I really don't know where to go, that's why I came here." I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to ask my cousin if she also lived in the city. Could you please give her a call and ask my cousin to take me in for a few days. I want to try again one last time, and if I still can't find it, then I'll go back to my hometown!"
Gu Er didn't answer her question, but asked rhetorically, "Where is your hometown?"
"...... in City X in Province H"
Gu Er nodded thoughtfully, this is right, her mother is also from there. It's just that she heard that she left her hometown at a very young age to come here to study, and she once asked why she came here, whether her grandparents brought her here, but her mother didn't tell her, but reprimanded her impatiently, and then she didn't ask again.
Now that I think about it, there is something hidden in this.
But when she thought of her mother, her emotions about asking quickly faded again.
"It's been a long time since my parents died......"
When Hua Qingqing heard this, he immediately looked at her in shock, and stammered for a while before he stammered: "I'm sorry, I don't know ......"
Gu Er shook his head: "It's nothing, your father should have not contacted her for a long time when he was alive, and it's normal not to know." ”
Hua Qingqing's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it.
She lowered her head in frustration, and after a moment, she reluctantly pulled the corners of her lower lip, "Then, can you ask my cousin to take me in for a few days, I'...... I just have nowhere to go......"
Gu Er said lightly: "I'm sorry, the children at home are still young, so it's not very convenient." But I can help you book a room in a hotel where you can stay for a few days. ”
"Hey?!" Hua Qingqing was surprised for a moment, but soon realized that yes, this cousin is a big star, and the newspaper also said that she married a very rich husband, so she easily said let her go to the hotel! But ......, "Cousin, I am very capable, I can do any job, I can cook, do housework, and take care of the children! You can take me in for a few days! Outside, it's not safe outside!"
She looked earnest, but also with trepidation, as if she was frightened by what she said about the drunken landlord, and did not dare to go to the hotel alone.
Gu Er felt a little sympathy for her when he heard this, but it was no more.
In any case, it is impossible for her to stay at home.
It was originally a distant relative, but it has not been confirmed, taking a step back, even if what she said is true, they are still strangers, and she doesn't know anything about the other party's personality, character, including experience, and it is impossible to leave strangers to live in her own home casually.
"Miss Hua, it's really inconvenient for me to entertain guests at home, so it's better for you to stay in a hotel. If you wish, I can call and help you book a room. If you think this is not good, and you have other arrangements, then I will ask the driver to drive you there. ”
There was no hesitation in her tone, and it could be seen that she would not change her mind.
Hua Qingqing's eyes and face darkened together, she was silent for a while, and said softly: "Then trouble my cousin, help me book a room in the hotel." ”
Gu Er could see that the other party was very disappointed, but to put it politely, she thought that this was already a help.
Nodding, she picked up the phone in front of her, said hello to Chen Yuan, asked her to help book a room, and then sent her the address.
Chen Cheng responded happily, saying that she would call back soon.
After Gu Er hung up, he said to Hua Qingqing, "I asked the assistant to handle this matter, there should be a result soon, you can wait a while." ”
"Okay, thank you, cousin. ”
After saying this, the two fell silent.
Hua Qingqing's mouth was dry and smoking, but he never dared to drink the water on the table.
It's just that the silence at this time is even more overwhelming, so she can only dare to pick up the teacup and drink it slowly in her hand.
Gu Yi didn't have the desire to speak, so he picked up the book on the coffee table and flipped through it.
To be honest, she had mixed feelings about her mother, not to mention the distant relatives of her mother's family whom she had never met.
And the other party said that he wanted to live here, which made her unhappy.
It's just that he is holding the mentality of taking it as a good deed to help the other party book a hotel room, as for getting closer to family or something, it is completely unnecessary.
The two of them sat down without embarrassment, but fortunately, Chen Cheng called back after a while, reporting the name and room number of the hotel, as long as Hua Qingqing took her ID card, the front desk would hand her the room card.
Gu Er thanked her, turned his head and explained to Hua Qingqing, "...... My assistant booked for you for seven days, the money has already been paid, I asked the driver to send you over, just check in. ”
She said and stood up.
Hua Qingqing also hurriedly put down the cup and got up, and just as Gu Er signaled to send her out, she suddenly said, "Did my cousin just give birth?" Can I go and see my little nephew?"
Seeing that Gu Yi was silent, just looking at her lightly, she hurriedly said: "I have taken my brother since I was a child, until he was five years old, my parents didn't care much, I took him alone, I am very experienced, I am very good at taking care of children......"
So, looking at the little nephew is just an excuse, in fact, I still want to stay?
Gu Er smiled politely and detachedly, "The child is still young, he should be sleeping now, there is a nanny watching him, you don't have to worry." ”
The words are euphemistic, but the meaning is clear, that is, she is not needed.
Hua Qingqing bit her lip, and after looking at Gu Yi for more than ten seconds, she finally couldn't resist her cold gaze and lowered her head, "That, that's too, then I'll leave, thank you, cousin!"
Escorting her to the door, the driver had already driven the car over.
Gu Er watched her wave goodbye, then got into the car and left, raising her eyebrows.
It's funny.
This Hua Qingqing looks timid, but what she does is not at all like that of a timid person.
Distant relatives who had never met before, she dared to come to the door to ask for her, and then she was not happy to book a hotel room for her, and wanted to stay several times......
Gu Er is now wondering, is the purpose of her coming to the door really just to ask her for help?
Or did you come here just to be able to stay in the Fu family?
When the other party came, she had a lot of doubts in her heart, and when the other party left, Gu Er's heart was not only not clear, but new doubts replaced the old ones.
So when Fu Yanfeng came back in the evening, she told him about it.
Of course, she also told him what she felt strange.
Fu Yanfeng pondered for a moment and said, "I'll let people check this matter before worrying, after all, they have never met, and no one can prove that she is really a distant relative of your family." ”
If the other party is really a relative, then her various actions may be seen as wanting to stay in the Fu family and cling to them.
But what if not?
What is the purpose of the other party, impersonating this layer of identity and making such a request?
