The dishes at Dongfeng Hotel are exquisite and delicious, and it was almost late at night after their group finished eating.

Gu Yunxi walked out of the door of the hotel, looked at the night and exhaled softly, with a clean and pure smile on his face.

Su Qingwan walked out one after another and stood beside her.

The night was as cold as water, and they were silent.

After a while, Gu Yunxi's voice sounded quietly, and the cold timbre added a touch of coolness to the deep night. "Sister Qingwan, I have known since I was a child that my father doesn't like me. Therefore, although there are many sisters in the Gu Mansion, they are not close to me......"

She turned her head to look at Su Qingwan with a smile on her face. "This is the first time my second brother has celebrated my birthday...... Thank you. ”

Su Qingwan also smiled lightly, "It should be thanks to your second brother, why do you thank me." ”

"No, it's you. ”

Gu Yunxi shook his head softly but firmly, and his slightly immature face showed a bit of sincerity. "Sister Qingwan, I'm not a child anymore. I know that my second brother is good to me because ......"

Su Qingwan interrupted her and continued, "Because you are his sister, he should be good to you, and he has nothing to do with anyone." ”

Gu Yunxi pursed her lips slightly.

Su Qingwan turned around and took her hand, her eyes staring at her tightly. "Yun Xi, you are a good girl, so you have to have confidence in yourself. As she spoke, she glanced sideways at the man who was walking towards them, and said.

"Have faith in your second brother too. ”

As soon as the words fell, Gu Shaoting had already walked up. "What are you talking about?"

He drank some wine, his voice was hoarse, but his eyes were bright.

Su Qingwan glanced up at him and gently took Gu Yunxi's hand. "Nothing, are you leaving?"

Gu Shaoting didn't care, nodded slightly, and habitually raised his hand and pressed his forehead.

"Second brother, you should drink less wine in the future. Gu Yunxi couldn't help blurting out when she saw his movements.

Gu Shaoting was stunned for a moment, put down his hand and looked at her, and nodded after a while, "Well, I know how to measure." After speaking, he looked at Su Qingwan, and then at Gu Yunxi, and finally had a little smile on his face. "I'm not here these days, you have nothing to do and come to Gu Yuan to walk around. ”

Gu Yunxi nodded vigorously. "Okay, second brother, don't worry. I will definitely take care of Sister Qingwan. ”

Su Qingwan turned around helplessly, and Gu Shaoting smiled with satisfaction.

Because it is gradually autumn, there is still a cool night. The vehicle was driving smoothly, and Su Qingwan slowly leaned back and closed his eyes in the dark.

"Tired?"

Su Qingwan shook his head and didn't speak, so Gu Shaoting didn't ask again.

Although it was late, Gu Yuan was still guarded.

Su Qingwan had just entered the door, and she saw Zhang's mother poking her head out of the kitchen, "Miss Su, drink a cup of hot soup to warm your stomach and then sleep." ”

Su Qingwan smiled and shook her head, "Mother Zhang, Chunsheng and I didn't drink. ”

Gu Shaoting walked to the sofa and sat down, pressed his forehead and asked casually, "Where did you get your sobering recipe?"

Su Qingjuan's hand was arranging her coat for a moment, her eyes were in a trance for a short moment, she raised her hand to pin a few broken hairs behind her ears, and her voice was calm, "When I was a child, my father often drank alcohol, and my mother always prepared some sobering soup, I tried it a few times, and this recipe works best." ”

Gu Shaoting looked at her lightly after hearing this, there was an unknown love in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

"Mom Zhang, the clothes are taken back. ”

At this moment, two maids walked in from outside the door with their clothes in their arms.

Zhang's mother seemed to be busy, "Let's send the ones I often wear to the first floor to hang them first." ”

The two maids answered, and walked in the direction that Zhang's mother said. Walking to the sofa, they nodded lightly at Gu Shaoting and shouted, "Second master." ”

Gu Shaoting glanced up and waved his hand. The two maids immediately went on. Unexpectedly, Gu Shaoting suddenly spoke up.

"Stop. ”

The two maids stood in place at a loss.

Gu Shaoting slowly stood up, a trace of coldness appeared on his face.

"What's in your hand?"

The maid on the left replied nervously. "Back to the second master, I washed the clothes two days ago, and it was humid at night in the autumn, so I put it away first. ”

Su Qingwan frowned and looked at Gu Shaoting, not knowing what was going on. Zhang's mother happened to come out of the kitchen, but she was stunned when she saw this scene.

Gu Shaoting walked up to the maid on the left, stared at the clothes in her hand, and raised his hand to pick up the top one.

"This dress...... Who told you to wash it?"

What he was holding in his hand was a big red brocade cheongsam, with a slightly old pattern and a style that did not look like the style of recent years. Zhang's mother saw that the dress turned slightly pale, and she asked, "Who took out this dress?"

The maid on the right stood up in horror, and her voice was staccato. "Yes...... It's me...... Found from the bedroom. Zhang's mother walked up, her voice anxious. "You!

The maid's face was pale with fright. "The innermost ...... on the second floor"

Zhang's mother frowned, and whispered to her angrily. "Foolish! How many times have I said that you can enter that room casually......"

The maid seemed to have just reacted and suddenly knelt down. "Second master, I know it's wrong, please spare me! Second master, second master......"

Gu Shaoting was unmoved, and his voice suddenly became cold. "Mother Zhang, give her three months' salary. He looked down at the kneeling man. "You won't use it anymore. ”

Then he immediately turned and walked towards the door. "Zhou Yong. ”

A figure walked in from outside the door, and Gu Shaoting handed him the cheongsam he was clutching tightly.

"Take it out and burn it. ”

Zhou Yong took it but was obviously stunned, "Second master......"

Gu Shaoting didn't look back and turned around and went upstairs directly.

But I don't know if it's her delusion, Su Qingwan felt that there was a hint of despair and loneliness in Gu Shaoting's back.

In the evening, Zhang's mother came to their room to pick up things, but Chunsheng still couldn't hold back her mouth. "Mother Zhang, the second master ...... today. Why are you so angry?"

Su Qingwan, who was beside the bed, flipped the page of the book in his hand, but his eyes didn't know where to look.

“…… That cheongsam was my wife's thing. After a while, Zhang's mother's voice slowly sounded. "She is the biological mother of the second master, the eldest wife of Gu Fu Ming Media. When the lord married her, it was also a beautiful time, and the wife was naturally very happy in her heart, but the next year, the lord welcomed the second aunt, and the wife was still pregnant with a child at that time......"

Zhang's mother couldn't help choking slightly when she said about the emotion, "The second master was brought up by his wife, and the relationship between the second master and the master is really deep, and the relationship between the second master and the master is not good, most of it is because of his wife." ”

Chunsheng frowned from time to time and listened very seriously, and Zhang's mother continued. "Mrs.'s things, no one is allowed to touch them except the second master, this is the rule. The room where my wife lived and the things that I used...... The second master is a good boy, he just hasn't come out all the time......"

Chunsheng was puzzled. "The big lady......"

Su Qingwan clenched her hands gently.

"It's gone. Mother Zhang raised her hand to wipe her eyes and sighed deeply, "On the night when the old man married the sixth aunt, she wore that red cheongsam and hanged herself in her room. ”

A strong wind blew outside the house, rustling the leaves, and Zhang's mother's voice was implicitly depressing.

"Iniquity, iniquity. ”

Su Qingwan felt a chill in her heart for no reason.
