When the train arrived in Shanghai, it was still light. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as Gu Shaoting got out of the car, he saw that Zhou Yong was already in front of the car with two teams of guards.
"Second master. Seeing Gu Shaoting, Zhou Yong immediately stepped forward a few times and gave a military salute.
Gu Shaoting nodded at him, and then turned around to see that Su Qingwan had already gotten out of the car. Qiu Shi was originally standing behind Su Qingwan, but when he saw Zhou Yi, he immediately ran over with a happy face, "Sixth brother!" said and patted him on the shoulder, "It's hard for you this time." ”
Zhou Yong looked at him with some amusement, "What nonsense." Qiu Shi sighed, turned his head to look at Gu Shaoting, and asked for credit for Zhou Yong, "Second master, do you say that the sixth brother is staying alone in Shanghai this time, and the general and the sixth aunt are not such easy people to deal with......
Zhou Yong frowned when he heard this, and was about to train Qiu Shi, Gu Shaoting raised his hand to stop him, "Qiu Shi is right, things are indeed done well." ”
Zhou Yong looked at Qiu Shi's appearance of frowning on the side, so he had to smile and bow his head, "Second Master Xie." ”
Gu Shaoting raised the corners of his mouth, turned around and walked towards Su Qingwan. Xu didn't have a good rest in the car in the past two days, and Su Qingwan's face was faintly pale. Gu Shaoting took her hand and probed, and sure enough, even the tips of his fingers were icy.
Su Qingwan understood his worries, and pursed his lips shallowly, "It's an old problem, it's not in the way." Gu Shaoting covered her hand and warmed it before saying, "I still have something to deal with, you go back to the garden with Qiu Shi to rest first." ”
Su Qingwan smiled and nodded lightly.
Gu Shaoting turned his head to look at Qiu Shi, "Send Miss Su back to the garden." Qiu Shi immediately responded and followed Su Qingwan out of the station.
When they were far away, Gu Shaoting reached out and unbuttoned his collar, took off his coat and put it on his arm, turned around and asked Zhou Yong, "Where is the old man?" ”
Zhou Yong was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied, "At the Peace Hotel." Gu Shaoting walked up with a grim face, "Go to the Peace Hotel." ”
The streets of Shanghai have been renovated several times and become wider and wider. When the car drove over Nanjing Road, there were more pedestrians on both sides.
Zhou Yong raised his eyes in the front seat and looked in the rearview mirror, and Gu Shaoting was resting in the back seat with his eyes closed. Waiting for the driver to make a steady turn to the right, Zhou Yong turned his head and whispered, "Second master, it's here." ”
Gu Shaoting opened his eyes, but his eyes were clear, without any tiredness. The waiter at the door glanced at the license plate, and immediately trotted over to open the car door, "Second master, please." ”
Gu Shaoting got out of the car and walked quickly through the revolving door, and Zhou Yong followed from behind, "Second master, the general lives on the top floor this time." Gu Shaoting's footsteps slowed down and asked, "Alone?"
Zhou Yong returned cautiously, "There is also a sixth aunt who is too ......" Gu Shaoting's face was cold, and he stepped onto the elevator.
Since the opening of the 12th floor of the Peace Hotel, few people have lived in it, and most of it is used to receive VIPs and military and political circles, so the environment is very private and quiet. Gu Shaoting walked to the end of the corridor and stopped, the guard standing at the door of the last room saluted him, raised his hand and knocked on the door three times unhappily.
The door opened immediately, and the waiter in the bow tie withdrew from the room with red wine and waited aside, "Second master, please come in." ”
Gu Shaoting entered the door expressionlessly.
The room was brightly lit and slightly harsh. Gu Shaoting walked to the middle of the hall, bowed slightly towards the figure facing away from him in front of the window, and his voice was calm, "Father." ”
Gu Wei snorted coldly and turned to look at him, "You still have the face to come back!" Gu Shaoting stood motionless, Gu Wei looked at him, and was very angry, "You say, is it your hands and feet that the Quartermaster Department has? Do you know that the Jing'an Chamber of Commerce is secretly raising prices to suppress us?"
Gu Shaoting raised his eyes lightly and looked over, and said unhurriedly, "This matter...... Your sixth aunt should know better than I do. ”
"You!" Gu Wei was speechless for a while. He walked to the sofa in a few steps and sat down, looked up at Gu Shaoting, his expression was implied with anger, "Nothing else, you tell me first, where are you going if you don't stay in Shanghai these days." ”
Gu Shaoting raised the corners of his mouth coldly, "You have been in Shanghai for so long, just to ask me this?"
"The second young master misunderstood. A soft and smiling voice sounded slowly, and the study door on the left side of the room was opened, and a woman wearing a begonia-colored cheongsam came out. She has a beautiful face, excellent facial features, and a cloudy temperament, and the moon-white fur draped on her shoulders makes her complexion almost transparent.
With a smile on her face, she slowly walked to Gu Wei and sat down, before she looked up at Gu Shaoting, "Master has decided to stay in Shanghai this time." It's because next month will be your twenty-second birthday. ”
Gu Wei suppressed his anger, patted her hand gently, and a smile hung in the corner of his eyes, "Your sixth aunt is right." Saying that, he looked at Gu Shaoting in an unquestioning tone, "On your birthday, the Gu family is going to hold a business party in your name." ”
Gu Shaoting glanced at the sixth aunt sitting beside Gu Wei, and her expression seemed to have a deep meaning, "You can arrange it." ”
Gu Wei seemed to be very satisfied with his answer, and his tone softened a lot, "Nianzhi, all the business elites and political dignitaries who will come at that time will be there, and your uncles will also be present. You have been too tough in the past few years, so you have to be more careful with your uncles......"
As he was talking, the sixth aunt took his arm and pressed it gently, and said with a smile, "In my opinion, the second young master has been a sensible and assertive child since he was a child, and the master doesn't need to worry." ”
Gu Shaoting smiled at the corner of his mouth after hearing this, and looked at the sixth aunt lightly, "If my guess is correct, I'm afraid this is your idea, right?" He seemed to deliberately accentuate the last three words, and when he heard them, the disdain was obvious.
Gu Wei immediately slapped the table and said, "Pay attention to your attitude, no matter how reluctant you are, she is also the sixth aunt of the Gu family, and she is your elder......" You Yi continued, and the sixth aunt hurriedly reached out and stroked his chest, "Master." She still smiled and persuaded, "The second young master is tired from the journey, let him rest today." Aren't you going to the Chamber of Commerce later, and you should be in a hurry if you don't leave a few more presidents. As for the details of the party...... Let's talk about it another day. ”
After hearing her words, Gu Wei couldn't help but slowly dissipate, turned his head to look at her again, and finally relented, "It's okay." After saying that, he stood up, and when he walked past Gu Shaoting, his footsteps suddenly slowed down again, "Don't think I don't know who is around you." At this gathering, you happened to have a lot of contact with the daughters of your uncles. My daughter-in-law of the Gu family must be the right person and be on the table. ”
Gu Wei finally glanced at Gu Shaoting coldly, "You are so self-conscious." ”
After Gu Wei left, there was silence in the room. The sixth aunt sat on the sofa and didn't take care of Shaoting. She reached out and filled the wine glass on the table with red wine, and slowly tasted it, "If you want to talk about red wine, you still have to drink it in Shanghai to taste." ”
Gu Shaoting's eyes narrowed slightly, and he continued to be silent.
Time passed minute by minute, and no one outside the door could not enter, but Gu Shaoting did not seem to have any intention of leaving. The sixth aunt finally realized that something was wrong, she reached out and put the wine glass on the table, raised her eyes and looked directly at Gu Shaoting, her expression cold and detached.
"Second Young Master, do you have something to tell me?"
