At that time, her mother raised her alone, and although she never saw her cry, she knew that she had been working hard.

At that time, the Gu family's career was just starting, and her mother was a famous designer, and marrying into the Gu family belonged to the Gu family in the eyes of outsiders. In order to help the Gu family get up, my mother worked day and night.

After a long time, the boy felt that he was not valued and liked, so he made a fuss about being with his mother.

At night, her mother would carry her to sleep. When she fell asleep, she secretly got up to work, and several times the boy woke up at night, and saw his mother working in the light.

At that time, how much she needed her father by her side. But according to the timeline, Gu Anran should have married her in the countryside at that time, and another daughter was almost born.

She really wanted to ask, in the past twenty years, has Gu Anran thought of their mother and daughter for even a moment, and has she ever felt guilty about them?

Zixi stood on the turf in the courtyard of the Gu family, thinking sullenly.

Suddenly, a pair of worn-out white sneakers appeared in front of her, and Zixi raised her eyes and saw Gu Ruo standing in front of her.

She was dressed plainly, with a ponytail combed, and she still looked very nervous.

At Shangzi's cherished eyes, Gu Ruo immediately lowered his eyes and said with a stammer: "I...... I know you don't like me...... I also...... I don't really like it here...... But...... But my dad brought me back because ...... Because of my illness...... I'm sorry, sister, I hope you don't be unhappy. ”

"Sick?" Gu Zixi looked her up and down, this girl was indeed too thin, even thinner than Zixi.

You must know that Zixi's height of 1.75 meters is only 95 pounds. It's a very skinny kind.

Gu Ruo looked at about 1.7 meters, and his appearance was also a symbol, and his clothes looked very loose and fat when he wore them. Without makeup, his complexion was slightly yellow, and he looked a little malnourished.

Gu Ruo nodded, and his eyes turned red in an instant, "I've been born since I was born...... There is a disease. The heart is not very good, and there is asthma. Originally, I had been eating the earthwork of the old Chinese medicine doctor in the countryside, until my mother died, and I almost died of my illness last time, and my father ...... After thinking about it for a long time, decided to take me back......"

"Your mother died?" Zi Xi was a little surprised.

"Hmm. Gu Ruo nodded, as if he had poked his heart, and tears immediately fell.

Zi Xi was a little reluctant, "I'm sorry ......"

She didn't know why she was saying sorry, maybe she just wanted to comfort her and make her feel better.

"Ruo. A low shout came from behind them, followed by a rush and steady footsteps approaching, and as soon as Zi Xi turned around, he saw Gu Anran coming over with a cold face, almost protecting Gu Ruo in his arms, as if he was protecting some treasure.

That kind of action and expression were all like a thorn, deeply piercing Zixi's heart.

Maybe they're together, so the relationship is deeper. Zi Xi thought so.

Without waiting for her to speak, Gu Anran's indifferent gaze suddenly swept towards her, and scolded her with a straight face, "Zixi, what did you do to Ruoruo?"

Zi Xi's brain was confused, "......"

At this moment, she wanted to explain, but the man's cold face was clearly reflected in her pupils, compared to his gentleness towards Gu Ruo, he could be said to be cold to Zixi.

Zi Xi felt a dull pain in his heart, had he forgotten that she Gu Zixi was also his Gu Anran's daughter?

Leaning on Gu Anran's arms, the weak Gu Ruo pulled Gu Anran's sleeve at this time, and whispered: "Dad, it's none of my sister's business, it's me...... It's that I think of my mother, so I'm sad. ”

As he spoke, tears continued to fall. That look, people who really look at it are distressed.

Gu Anran lowered his head, his palm caressed Gu Ruo's back, and his voice was as gentle as a pool of water, "If you are not afraid, with your father, you will never let anyone hurt you." ”

Gu Ruo bit his lip lightly, seemed to be a little tired, leaned his head in his arms, and closed his eyes a little tired.

Zi Xi looked at all this in front of her, and her mouth suddenly became a little bitter.

Gu Song called Zixi into the study.

He is old, his face is full of vicissitudes, holding Zixi's hand, he sighs a lot, and he thinks about it repeatedly in his throat, but he can't say it.

Zi Xi saw his entanglement, raised a smile and said, "Grandpa, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

The more sensible she was, the more Gu Song couldn't speak.

slapped Zixi's hand heavily, "I'm sorry, I've wronged you." ”

Zixi smiled, "Grandpa, Dad is back, aren't you happy?"

"Alas......" Gu Song sighed again, "I just asked him, and I found out." At that time, he ran away from home in a fit of anger and planned to go to the countryside to teach. However, he encountered a mudslide in the mountains and almost died as a result. It was Gu Ruo's mother who saved his life. ”

The classic scene of the hero in distress and the rescue of the beauty is astringent in his heart.

Gu Song continued: "After that, he worked as a teacher in the village, teaching the children there to read and write, Gu Ruo's mother took good care of him, and the two came and went, and they ......."

Zixi felt bitter in her heart, but she felt bitter more for her mother.

If Gu Anran can have feelings for other women so easily, does that prove that he doesn't love his mother at all? If he didn't love his mother, why did he marry her in the first place? Since he was married, shouldn't he fulfill his marriage obligations properly?

"It's a pity, if it weren't for your mother all these years, the Gu family's business would not have been so big. In grandpa's heart, you have always been the only granddaughter of the Gu family. If you don't want to, Grandpa won't let them come back. Grandpa just wants you to be happy, as long as you're happy, anything goes. ”

Zi Xi turned his head to look at the old man beside him, he is almost eighty years old this year, his temples are getting whiter and heavier, and even his eyebrows are white.

After his mother died, he was taking care of the Gu family alone, and when he was old, it was inevitable that it would be difficult to take care of everything, so he was taken advantage of, causing the Gu family to almost go bankrupt.

If it weren't for Zhan Tingyu, I'm afraid the Gu family would have been removed from Cold City a long time ago.

Now that Gu Anran is back, he will become the pillar of the Gu family. Even if he doesn't want to see his mother and himself, at least he is the son of the Gu family, and he will not sit idly by and ignore the Gu family and grandfather.

"Grandpa," Zi Xi said, the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to have never changed from beginning to end, "You have also worked hard all your life, it is time to enjoy the blessings and live for a long time." ”

"Pity ......" Gu Song's eyes were slightly wet, and he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't say anything.

Zixi said that he still had a job, so he didn't stay to eat, but left the Gu family.

She had nowhere to go, and walked for a long time along the side of the road before she stopped and crouched down against a large tree.

Her heart was uncomfortable, but she couldn't shed a single tear. She is different from Gu Ruo, Gu Ruo grew up in the palm of Gu Anran's hand since she was a child, and she Gu Zixi is a child who has lost her parents since she was a child.

Weaker than soft, she is really far behind.

Many times, she uses thorns all over her body to protect herself, and she will not be like Gu Ruo, who is soft and weak, and she is pitiful.

But at this time, she hates her own strength, she would rather be softer, and cry at this time, maybe the pain in her heart can be relieved.

On the street, a black car drove slowly.

Zhu Hong, who was driving, suddenly saw the girl across the street, and couldn't help but say, "Sir, it seems to be Miss Gu." ”

The man in the back seat was talking on the phone, and when he heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at the front of the car, and sure enough, he saw a woman squatting under the birch tree.

The ground was covered with golden leaves, and the street pedestrians hurried past her, and she squatted there so quietly, with her back against the tree, her figure small, staring at the ground and not knowing what she was thinking.

Miss Gu seemed to be very sad. Zhu Hong couldn't help but add a sentence and asked the man in the back seat, "Sir, do you want to drive over?"

Zhan Tingyu retracted his gaze and continued to call, as if he hadn't heard him. So, the car drove past Zixi.

The mobile phone in the bag rang suddenly, Zixi came back to his senses, took out his mobile phone, saw the flashing number on the screen, adjusted his mood, and answered, "Mr. Zhan." ”

"Where?" said the man's voice on the phone.

Zi Xi glanced around, reported the location, and asked, "Does Mr. Zhan need anything?"

She didn't ask him what he wanted, but directly what he needed.

Because she knows very well that for Zhan Tingyu, she is just a tool to vent her desires. And for Gu Anran, she is just a stranger......

There was a long silence on the phone.

Zi Xi held the mobile phone, and kept the posture of answering the phone, and also kept quiet.

Until, the black car, slowly stopped on the side of the road, parked beside her.

"Miss Gu. Zhu Hong got out of the car and opened the door of the back seat for her.

Looking at the phone again, the call between her and Zhan Tingyu has been maintained and has not hung up.

Zi Xi got into the car, and naturally saw Zhan Tingyu sitting inside.

"Mr. Zhan. She was respectful, but her tone was tired.

Zhan Tingyu ignored her and was sending an email.

Zi Xi was bored, so he turned his head, looked at the street scene outside the window, and continued to think about his problem.

"Wages are paid today. The man next to him suddenly spoke.

Zixi glanced back at him, he was wearing headphones in his ears, the lights of the headphones were flickering, and his eyes were always on the laptop, as if the sentence just now was not said to her.

Zi Xi couldn't figure out for a while, whether the words just now were said to her, stared at Zhan Tingyu for a long time, and didn't answer.

Until, he frowned dissatisfiedly, turned his head to look at her, and his tone was not very good: "Deaf?"

Zixi: "......"

Sure enough, I asked her?
