53. Eat
When he followed Gu Chen into the living room of the old mansion, Du Yan knew what Gu Chen meant by just a simple meal.
There was a long mahogany table in the middle of the huge living room, and there were more than a dozen people sitting on both sides, and the old man Gu was sitting in the main seat at the front, with a stern face and a tough body, and when he saw the two of them entering the door, he only glanced up lightly.
Gu Chen came in with Du Yanyi, handed the coat on his arm to the old housekeeper, and then took Du Yanyi to the old man Gu and sat down.
The living room, which was still a little happy before entering the door, was completely silent after Du Yanyi and Gu Chen sat down, Old Man Gu raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Chen, and said lightly, "Let's eat." ”
Old Man Gu took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, and the sound of Xi Suo Suo raising his hand chopsticks immediately sounded on the table.
Old Man Gu didn't look at Du Yanyi much from beginning to end, but that didn't stop the others from sneaking at Du Yanyi's gaze with prying eyes.
The only eldest young master of the Gu family brought a man back, although everyone had heard of it a little at first, but it was really so blatantly put on the table, but no one dared to think of it!
More than 20 people, large and small, quietly glanced back and forth on the faces of the Gu family's father and son, each with a ghost around the long table.
Old man Gu is such a son as Gu Chen, and now that he has brought a man back, Old Man Gu has no intention of getting angry, but his old man has been in the mall for a long time, and he has always looked unfazed, even if he is really angry, he can't see anything on his face
Therefore, people who have a little kinship with the Gu family and a little bit of old age, although they are eating indifferently on the surface, their minds are all activated in an instant.
If Old Man Gu had a quarrel with Young Master Gu again
Silently fantasized, the feeling of being hit on the head by a pie falling from the sky, many people present secretly glanced at the Gu family's father and son, and by the way, Du Yanyi was also taken a look or two from time to time.
The Gu family's old house pays attention to food and does not say anything, even if everyone has more ideas, they can only sneak a glance at the table as an expression.
After eating, the solemn and solemn atmosphere at the dinner table immediately dispersed, and Gu Chen's aunt and aunt all sat on the sofa and asked questions around Du Yanyi.
Old man Gu has only one sister, that is, Zhao Mingrui's mother, but there are many cousins, cousins, cousins and cousins.
The jeweled women surrounding Du Yanyi at this time are exactly these people.
If Gu Chen marries a man and breaks with Old Man Gu, Zhao Mingrui will go to the army again, and when Old Man Gu is old, he will definitely find an heir in their family!
Although the old man at the table today didn't say anything, with Old Man Gu's stubborn temper and the very bad relationship between the father and son in the past, these cousins and aunts all felt that they were very hopeful of being hit by the pie dropped by Old Man Gu!
Coming down from the dinner table, Gu Chen was called into the study by Old Man Gu, Du Yanyi sat in the middle of a group of cousins and aunts and kept smiling, and there were several teenage girls who were very interested in the entertainment industry around him who were quietly and curiously looking at him.
In order to avoid the temptation of the cousins and aunts, Du Yan turned his head to look at the little girls and said kindly, "Is there any problem?" ”
Qiao Jin'an's shell is very beautiful, with fair skin, delicate facial features, and when he sits on the sofa and looks at people with a smile, he has an indescribable affinity.
The little girls were flashed by him with a kind smile, and pushed each other with red faces, and then sent a representative, with a little embarrassment and curiosity, and said cautiously, "I know you"
Du Yanyi leaned forward and looked at her with a smile.
The little girl who was encouraged by his smile was excited, and then let go of her courage and pulled the other little girls to chirp together, "We've seen a lot of movies you played, is the kind of flying Weiya in the costume fun?!" And how do you do those sci-fi stunts?! Does Tang Weiwei look good without makeup?! And is the scandal between An Chao and Jin Jin true?"
The little girls chattered and rushed to surround them, and the people who originally wanted to talk a little bit from Du Yanyi's mouth were annoyed by the noise, and they gradually moved away one by one, Du Yan quietly glanced at the women who were chatting in twos and threes, turned around with a smile, and patiently answered the questions raised by the little girls.
"Haohao, don't you like Brother Xiao'an's paintings the most? Now that I've seen it, ask my brother to help you draw one! ”
The woman who approached from the side of the stairs with juice looked at Du Yanyi and smiled kindly, then turned her head to look at the little boy who was watching cartoons on the sofa and said.
The little boy named Hao Hao was obviously reluctant, then turned his head and bumped into his mother's implicit stern eyes, shrank down, and then jumped off the sofa, and ran back to the guest room to get a set of painting tools.
Hands and feet neatly set up the easel and set up the drawing paper, the little boy staggered back to the sofa to watch cartoons, the child's mother looked obviously ugly, and then quickly put on a smile and walked to Du Yanyi, "I heard that Mr. Qiao was a proud disciple of Professor Wu before, and I wanted to find an opportunity to visit when I took Hao Hao to learn to paint, but you entered the entertainment industry to work hard, fortunately, I met it today by the light of Mr. Gu, the opportunity is rare, and please Mr. Qiao Don't be stingy to show your painting skills!" Of course, it would be nice if I could keep it for me to collect after I finished painting! ”
The woman walked over with a smile, and by the way, she stuffed the juice in her hand into the little boy on the sofa, and the others knew after listening to her words that she wanted to follow Du Yanyi to please Gu Chen, Qiao Jin'an's painting skills were good and earned enough face, Gu Chen knew that of course he was happy, and everyone who had figured it out hurriedly followed to advocate Qiao Jin'an's painting skills, so when Du Yanyi was pushed to the easel and stuffed a paintbrush in his hand, he didn't react a little.
Standing in front of the easel, holding the paintbrush, Du Yanyi fell into a dilemma.
Qiao Jin'an can draw, but he can't, as long as he moves the pen, this hard wound will be exposed without reservation
Looking up at the woman who proposed to paint, Du Yan stared at the canvas in front of him with his eyes spinning rapidly, and the woman he looked at raised her neck and stood up straight in the crowd, happily accepting the envy, jealousy and hatred of others, and she didn't expect that her own fart had accidentally slapped on the horse's leg.
Standing with the pen in his hand for a long time, when everyone was about to get impatient, there was a 'snap', and the painting pen in Du Yan's hand fell straight to the ground, and the woman who advocated Du Yan's painting had a sharp look in her eyes, and was just about to say something when she was interrupted by a faint tone from behind.
"Xiao An was injured last time and injured his hand, so he can't draw."
Gu Chen slowly walked down the stairs on the second floor, and the others got out of the way.
Walking to Du Yanyi's side, Gu Chen bent down to pick up the dropped paintbrush and inserted it on the easel, led Du Yanyi to turn around and swept around with a smile, "I'll take Xiao An upstairs to rest first, everyone, please." ”
Walking through the crowd, when I was at the corner of the second floor, I met Mr. Gu who was standing at the top of the stairs, I don't know what Gu Chen said to Mr. Gu in the study, seeing the two of them at this moment, Mr. Gu also looked at Du Yan and nodded lightly.
Du Yanyi hurriedly returned the salute.
The real banquet was in the evening, and after Du Yanyi rested for an afternoon, the downstairs had already changed.
Thinking of those meaningful eyes cast on him, Du Yan chose to stay in Gu Chen's room honestly and play with his mobile phone.
Downstairs, the friends who fought with Mr. Gu came, and the relatives in the living room before spared no effort to find the interpersonal relationships that could be used for their children.
Gu Chen stood below for a while, and after saying a few words to a few elders who had watched him grow up, he went upstairs to prepare to take Du Yanyi home.
Walking out of the back door, Du Yan glanced at the direction of the living room where laughter could still be heard, turned his head to look at Gu Chen and said, "Let's just leave, Gu Lao won't be angry, right?" ”
"No, it won't."
Gu Chen took him through the garden, stood in front of the fence gate in the middle of the two milky white low walls, took out the door card and drew a mark on the side, the fence door opened, and Gu Chen walked out with Du Yanyi.
"You wait here, I'll call Assistant Li."
In the morning, the car was parked in the front yard, the old man Gu was a detached house, the location was excellent, but the signal at the back door was not very good, Gu Chen asked Du Yanyi to wait in front of the low white fence door, and he took out his mobile phone and walked to the side.
Watching Gu Chen walk to the street lamp not far away to make a call, Du Yanyi took a deep breath and let go of the nerves that had been tense for a day.
"Ima'an"
The night breeze blew through the treetops, mottled the ground with broken shadows.
As soon as Du Yan turned around, a familiar figure walked out under the gloomy boulevard next to him.
"Something?"
Du Yan raised his eyebrows as soon as he looked at Qin Shenghao, who suddenly appeared, he thought that he had made it very clear this morning.
Qin Shenghao looked up at the light shining through the second floor of the old mansion behind Du Yanyi, and his eyes were full of incomprehensible pain and sorrow.
Taking out a card from his pocket, Qin Shenghao suppressed the sourness in his heart and spoke, "Gu Chen protected you too strictly, I couldn't find out what you knew at the beginning, here are five million for you to take first, it's not enough for me to go back."
"Ann." Gu Chen walked from under the street lamp opposite with his mobile phone.
Without looking at Qin Shenghao, who had instantly entered a state of preparation, Gu Chen slowly walked up to Du Yanyi and helped him tighten his collar, "Wait, right?" The signal isn't very good here. ”
Du Yanyi glanced at Qin Shenghao, whose face was instantly ugly, through Gu Chen's shoulder, narrowed his eyes and did not speak.
On the corner of the street not far away, Assistant Li drove out, and Gu Chen walked forward with Du Yanyi's waist around him.
"Boss Gu!"
Qin Shenghao stepped sideways in front of them, "Let's talk." ”
Gu Chen looked at him with a smile, his eyes moved from his face to the silver bank card that had not been taken back, and he paused meaningfully, "Thank you Mr. Qin for your concern for Xiao An, if you have anything, please contact Assistant Li directly." ”
There was a hot pain on his face, and Qin Shenghao felt a sense of shame in his heart that he had never felt before, and the stuffiness in his chest ached, but he knew that this was the last chance.
Blowing his throat, Qin Shenghao said with difficulty, "I"
"The car is coming."
Holding Du Yanyi's shoulder, Gu Chen passed directly past Qin Shenghao.
Qin Shenghao froze in place, and Du Yanyi quietly looked back at the silver card that he could almost get, and sighed deeply with his eyes down.
