"Are you really planning to borrow money from Tan Qing?"

Zixi was confused by the question, "Mr. Zhu, are you rich?"

Zhu Hong shook his head, "But it must not have anything to do with Tan Qing." ”

"I know. Zixi nodded, who is Tan Qing?

"Are you afraid that he will beat me?" Zi Xi saw through Zhu Hong's thoughts, and asked so bluntly, Zhu Hong was embarrassed, "I'm afraid he has other intentions." ”

Zhu Hong thought for a while, "Let's discuss this matter with Mr." ”

Zi Xi also thought about it seriously, "Then I'll call Mr. Zhan when I go back, if he refuses to borrow it, I can only borrow it from Tan Qing." ”

The two then left the winery.

But halfway through, Zhu Hong suddenly received a strange call.

I don't know what I said on the phone, Zhu Hong stepped on the brake suddenly, Zi Xi took his body forward fiercely, and was strangled back by the seat belt.

In the next second, I heard Zhu Hong's voice come into my ears with great surprise, "What? people released it? Who put it? I know ......"

The call was then hung up.

"What's wrong?" Zi Xi asked.

In fact, from Zhu Hong's expression and a few words just now, he had vaguely guessed something.

Zhu Hong's expression was a little solemn, "It's from the winery." ”

"Tan Qing's people?"

"Hmm. ”

"How?"

Tan Qing asked his subordinates to let people go, and Tan Qing cushioned the money. ”

There was a moment of silence in the car for "......", and for some reason, the goosebumps on Zixi's body suddenly stood up.

She suddenly thought of something very important, "Mr. Zhan won't know about this, right?"

In the winery just now, Tan Qing said this and would not let Zhan Tingyu know.

Zhu Hong's forehead was already sweating, because of nervousness, the hand holding the steering wheel was slowly tightening, "It should be...... No way. ”

But it's okay to hide it for a while, but can you hide it for a lifetime?

If Tan Qing really had other plans, he was afraid that before he could act, Zhan Tingyu would already notice it.

When the time comes, Zhu Hong and Zi Xi will not be able to run away.

Zi Xi looked at his face, a little worried, "Mr. Zhu, are you okay?"

"It's okay......" Although he said that, Zhu Hong's face was still not very good-looking.

He regrets it now, 120,000 points of regret, regrets that he has to bring his son here today to see Tan Qing.

He thought that with the title of Mrs. Zhan Tingyu, he would be able to make Tan Qing avoid it, but he forgot the fact that he was lustful.

Zhu Hong was worried all the way, but as soon as the car drove to the Blue Bay Villa, Zhan Tingyu's phone called.

Seeing a string of numbers jumping on the car screen, Zhu Hong's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

I'm really afraid of something!

Zi Xi glanced at him, stretched out his hand and pressed the answer button, "Mr. Zhan." ”

At first glance, when he heard Zixi's voice, Zhan Tingyu was stunned for a second, and then his voice came coldly, "Are you with Zhu Hong?"

"Hmm. Zi Xi nodded, then realized that he couldn't see it, and added, "Yes, Mr. Zhan." ”

"What are you doing in broad daylight?"

Zi Xi was stunned for a moment, and then realized what he was talking about, and was annoyed: "I asked Zhu Hong to take me to the supermarket to buy something." ”

In fact, she wants to say that if you are not together in the daytime, will you still be together at night?

But the other party is Zhan Tingyu, she doesn't dare to speak like this.

"Wait!" Zhan Tingyu said these two words for a long time, and then hung up the phone.

Zi Xi looked confused: "......"

"What did he tell us to wait for?" Zi Xi looked at Zhu Hong, "Could it be that Mr. Zhan has already returned?"

It shouldn't be, every time he goes out, it's at least a week, and this time it's only two days, there's no reason to come back so soon.

Without waiting for Zhu Hong to answer, a barrage of video calls popped up on the screen.

Zixi was startled, and then realized that this guy asked them to wait, and what they were waiting for was a video call!

Zi Xi pressed the answer button, and on the screen, Zhan Tingyu's iceberg face that had not changed for thousands of years immediately appeared.

"Hello Mr. Zhan. Zixi greeted him obediently, and his attitude was to be as respectful as he was.

But Zhan Tingyu on the screen still looked unsmiling, and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, very displeased.

Zhu Hong was sitting precariously, except for saying hello to Zhan Tingyu at the beginning, he kept looking ahead and driving steadily.

"What do you go to the supermarket to buy?Aren't all the things at home bought by Aunt Wu?" Zhan Tingyu said in a bad tone.

Zi Xi had already gotten used to his tone, so he lied casually, "I've run out of ink, go to the supermarket and buy a bottle." ”

"Just for this, a trip to the supermarket?"

"Of course it's more than that, ahem...... I still need to buy groceries. Something for girls, let Mr. Zhu a big man buy it, I'm sorry. ”

Zhu Hong had to secretly admire Zixi, this lie is a perfect score.

Even Zhan Tingyu couldn't pick out the thorns.

Sure enough, Zhan Tingyu paused for a few seconds, "Go home immediately after buying it, and buy it with the card I gave you! I want to know if you went to the supermarket." ”

"Okay, Mr. Zhan. Zixi obediently responded and didn't come with him.

After hanging up the phone, Zi Xi sighed and patted his heart, "Lying to Mr. Zhan really tests the heart's endurance." ”

Zhu Hong silently threw an admiring look at her.

It's amazing, this is the first time he has seen anyone dare to lie to him in the so many years he has been by Zhan Tingyu's side.

Because of Zhan Tingyu's phone call, Zixi and Zhu Hong had to go back to the nearby supermarket and buy something before going home.

For dinner, Aunt Wu asked Zixi to go downstairs to eat.

As soon as she got downstairs, the doorbell rang.

"I'm going to open the door. Aunt Wu said as she reached the door and pulled the bolt.

Zixi hadn't entered the restaurant yet, so she casually glanced at it, looked through Aunt Wu's shoulder, and saw the slender figure standing at the door.

Gu Ruo!

Gu Ruo also saw her, but she didn't dare to make a sound, but stood there, looking at Zixi timidly.

"This girl, who are you looking for?" Aunt Wu asked softly without noticing her abnormality.

Gu Ruo pursed her lips and didn't speak.

Zi Xi walked over, "Aunt Wu, you go get busy first." ”

"Good. ”

The night in the cold city was cold, and Gu Ruo was still wearing the thin skirt she wore in the hospital during the day, and there were slight traces of blood on the skirt. Her hair was disheveled, and her expression was innocent with a hint of paleness.

It's also pitiful to look at.

Zi Xi looked at her with a calm gaze, "How did you find this?"

Gu Ruo bit her lip and didn't speak.

Zi Xi said again: "You get out of here quickly, Mr. Zhan will be unhappy when he comes back." ”

Reaching out to close the door, Gu Ruo suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist, "Sister......"

The voice of the mouth was hoarse, "I know, you saved me and Dad, thank you, sister." ”

"If you're specifically here to thank me, then you don't have to!" Zi Xi took her hand, "The Gu family's house is left to you, whether you want to sell it or keep it for yourself, it's up to you." I don't owe you anything, and I've done what I have to do. So, don't come to me. ”

"Sister......" Gu Ruo's tears burst out of her eyes.

But Zixi still didn't hesitate a little, and closed the door directly.

After eating, Aunt Wu came back from taking out the garbage and said to her, "That little girl hasn't left just now, and she is still standing in the yard." ”

Zixi's eating movements paused slightly, "Let her go." ”

She is not a saint, nor is she a rotten well-wisher, nor is she a person who is overflowing with compassion.

For Gu Anran and Gu Ruo, she thinks she has done enough.

What happens to them in the future, she won't care.

After eating, Zixi went upstairs directly. She is now a director of the company, a college student, and reads books at night.

By the time she finished reading the book and stretched, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

She suddenly remembered that the flowers on the windowsill had not been watered yet, so she walked over with Duoduo in her arms and watered the flowers, but her eyes caught a glimpse of a slender figure still standing there in the courtyard downstairs.

Not gone yet?

Zi Xi went downstairs, opened the door, and stood under the hallway.

Gu Ruo immediately lowered her head and bit her lip, not daring to look at her.

Zixi walked over and stood still in front of her, "Say, what do you want to do?"

"I ......" Gu Ruo opened his mouth, but he couldn't say it.

Zi Xi chuckled, "You want to stay here?"

Gu Ruo lowered his head and did not admit it, but he did not deny it.

"The Gu family's house, can't it live in you?"

"I ...... I had a quarrel with my father......" Gu Ruo's weak voice was like a lonely stray cat on the side of the road. All over the body, there is an air of pity and pity.

But Zixi's heart was very calm, "So you want to stay here?"

Gu Ruo bit her lip, "Can ...... Is that okay?"

"This is Mr. Zhan's house, and he doesn't like to live in it. And I'm not one to take people indiscriminately. Zixi said, took out his mobile phone, "I'll call you a car and send you back." ”

"No need. Gu Ruo spoke, "I...... I'll go back on my own. ”

Saying that, she didn't move, she stood in place for a while, raised her eyes to look at Zixi, her eyes were full of caution, "Sister, you still think about me and my father in your heart, right?"

"You think of me too greatly, you and your mother have dominated my father for twenty years, why do you think I care about you?"

"But you still helped......"

Zixi interrupted her lightly, "That's because of grandpa." ”

Thinking of his grandfather, Zi Xi felt a dull pain in his heart, "My ability is limited, so I can only help this time." Next time, don't come to me. ”

Gu Ruo didn't insist any longer, paused and said, "Tomorrow is grandpa's first seven, can you come back?"

"Grandpa's first seven, of course I'll go back. Zixi's face was always light, not angry, nor weak.

Gu Ruo nodded, "That'...... See you tomorrow. ”

Step by step, I turned around and walked away.

Zixi looked up at the stars in the sky, the moonlight was so cold, and her heart was so desolate.

Grandpa, what do you want me to do in the spirit of heaven? Will you blame me for being too ruthless?
