Nan Siwen's mother complained for a while about the feeling of being constrained in the imperial capital, and went into the back kitchen to see the stewpot. She stewed a pot of potato beef stew. After eating other people's unpalatable braised beef brisket rice, she is very confident in her own family. Two plates of white rice were served, and two large spoons of beef brisket and potatoes were poured on each plate, and they were served to Zhang Quan and Nan Siwen.

There is also an open space outside the small dining shop, and a few tables can be folded. It's hot, so it's nice to eat outside.

Nan Siwen's mother beckoned Zhang Quan to eat, and when she turned her head, she saw her son standing on the side of the road, looking into the distance.

It's also strange to say, since the whole shop, Wenzi has this strange problem, always looking in one direction. She stretched her neck and looked at it, this place, in addition to high-rise buildings, is still high-rise buildings, what is there to see?

"Fumiko, it's time to eat!" She yelled.

Nan Siwen answered, still standing there still. It wasn't until his mother yelled again that he turned around and came over to eat. Listen to his mother mutter, "...... I don't know what to see? It's as if the devil is stunned! ”

He silently took a few mouthfuls of food, not daring to tell her that the thin girl who was viciously beaten by her riding back then lived in a place not far away where the corner of the building could be seen.

The "Big Iron Pot Stewed Chicken" is so close to Gu Qingxia. His mind was hot that day, and when he decided on this shop without hesitation, he couldn't tell whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he neglected a very important thing......

He put the beef rice in his mouth and looked up at his mother.

She couldn't stay idle, and took a rag to wipe the table and the chair, and the chair and the window...... His mother is hardworking, capable, enthusiastic and kind. The villagers loved her. His co-workers also liked her. She lives in the compound, not only does not add to the chaos, but also often helps clean the yard, or take a hand, and do a job. Her strength is even greater than that of ordinary men, and Nan Siwen's boss always feels that she has picked up a labor force for nothing. I don't have a mouth to praise her all day long, anyway, good words don't cost money.

For Nan Siwen, his mother is not only his only relative, but also the best person in the world for him. She knew that it was not easy for him to make money, and tried her best to save him money. always wanted him to marry a daughter-in-law quickly, so that he felt worthy of his dead father.

His mother is so good, but she ...... Only to be as fierce as Gu Qingxia!

Nan Siwen turned his head and glanced at Gu Qingxia's corner again, retracting his gaze. I dare not think that such a close distance ...... In case of...... She and her meet again......

He really didn't dare to think about it.

The next day, the "Big Iron Pot Stewed Chicken" officially opened.

Nan Siwen knew a lot of people, acquaintances helped to ask each other for recommendations, and found two children to help. The boy does a small job in the back kitchen, doing all the groceries. The girl serves the plate in front of the girl and collects the money. Nan Siwen's mother is the pillar of the entire restaurant. The three of them seemed to prop up a shop.

Nan Siwen spent his own money to order four flower baskets. Workers, fellow villagers, two people together one, or several people together, plus the largest one sent by his boss, actually put two rows, looking at the battle is quite big.

Nan Siwen's mother regretted that she couldn't hang firecrackers. Why can't she understand the reason why she has to be arrested by the police for setting off firecrackers? Is there any royal law in this imperial capital?

The construction site where Nan Siwen is staying now is not far from here, and his co-workers all rushed over at noon to cheer the party, and the small restaurant was crowded at once. Of course, Nan Siwen's mother won't take money from them, she is not a stingy person! Although she has never done it, she also knows that the most important thing in business and opening a shop is popularity. The big guys came to cheer, just to give them popularity! Although it will cost a little, she is also happy.

I don't know what happened to my son, a good day, and I stood there in a daze in that direction.

Except for the building or the building, what is he looking at?

Katsuko sat downstairs in a Starbucks and sipped an iced latte. He looked at his watch, and from time to time he looked out the window. When it was almost the appointed time, I saw the old cat that appeared on time.

The old cat is a young man under thirty. The one with thick eyebrows and big eyes looks better than Katsuko...... Well, Katsuko admits frustratingly, it's a little bit more handsome than him, but it's just a little bit. It's just a little bit, Yu Xiaolan, who has always had a crush on him when he was a child and lives in the same compound, has a crush on the old cat. made his first love fruitless.

The old cat was bigger than him and smaller than his brother. Grew up in an alley with him, and made a child. After graduating from high school, he went to be a soldier, and later he was selected as a special soldier, and the units were all secret, only the code had no name, and the cattle broke and coaxed. Later, I changed jobs, entered the public security, engaged in criminal investigation, and was still coaxing. Shengzi got into trouble when he got into a fight with someone, and it was the old cat who helped him settle it, and the relationship between the two of them was very porcelain.

Later, the old cat took a fancy to a police flower. Later, the old cat caught up with the police flower. Later, the police flower was submerged by the leader for the last batch of room allocation places. Later, the old cat broke the leader. Later, the old cat was expelled from the ranks of the sacred people's police.

At the lowest stage of the old cat's life, Katsuko, who has been taken care of by him and covered by him, pulled him along.

Katsuko plucked up the courage to recommend the old cat to Li Sheng.

Shengzi knew that Li Sheng had some things, and some special people were doing it for him. He once had a heartbeat, because although Li Sheng gave him a very high salary, those people took more money. After all, the nature of work is not the same...... He had the courage to express to Li Sheng his willingness to change the content of his work.

Li Sheng didn't directly refuse him, he only said, "You can take a look first." ”

And then a few times, he didn't let him avoid it, and really let him watch. His face turned pale as he watched...... Only then did he know that this kind of thing was different from what he thought, and it was different from the brave fighting of the young people in the alley he had experienced...... Afterwards, Li Sheng called him over and asked him if he had thought about it, but he was so slumped that he decided to continue to be Li Sheng's life assistant.

But the old cat is not like him. Li Sheng used the old cat twice, and he felt that this former special forces soldier and former criminal policeman were very good. The old cat has followed Li Sheng since then and done a lot of things for him. Some were relayed by Shengzi, and some were directly ordered by Li Sheng.

Those things that Li Sheng directly ordered, the old cat never said, and Shengzi never asked.

"Why did it take so long to come back?" Katsuko asked. It's just to investigate Sister Gu's family background, he thought that a week was enough, and the old cat went for half a month.

"Is the boss upstairs?" The old cat threw a brown paper document bag on the table and asked.

"Not there." Katsuko looked at her watch, "In two hours, I'll pick him up." ”

As he spoke, he reached for the brown paper bag that the old cat had placed on the table. The old cat "snapped" and held it down. "You give me an accurate word, this Miss Gu and the boss...... What the hell is going on? The old cat asked.

Katsuko sneered. Leaned over, lowered his voice, and said sneakily, "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else...... Boss this time, he ......" He put his right hand to his mouth and whispered, "It's planted!" It's really planted! ”

Emma, he's always wanted to find someone to share this with! But other people's mouths are unreliable, so he can only hold it all the time, but he is about to hold it out. When he thought of his boss looking like he was in love and couldn't pull it out, he squeaked with laughter!

"That's ......," said the old cat in a deep voice, not laughing along. As soon as he lifted his buttocks, he took out a yellow sticker from his butt pocket, tore open the backing paper, and stuck it on the mouth of the document bag with a "pop".

Katsuko's laughter came to an abrupt end.

"Alright, don't get your hands dirty with this. I'll go with you later, and I'll get back to the boss directly. The old cat said. With this yellow seal attached, Katsuko can't touch it anymore.

Katsuko was a little confused. He clearly conveyed the meaning of the boss, that is, to touch Sister Gu's family background, it's quite a simple matter.

The boss and Sister Gu often compete secretly, and he understands what the boss means, that is, he wants to know himself and know that he will not be defeated in a hundred battles. It's really a simple thing......

How did you get to the level where you need to put a yellow seal?

Katsuko's cold sweat came down.

Comparatively, the first three working days of the week are the busiest. By Thursday, it's going to be a little better. Gu Qingxia was relatively relaxed today. From Shanghua to the present, she quickly adapted to her new position and new role, and made achievements that satisfied her superiors and superiors.

Li Sheng called her at noon and said that he wanted to eat the food she cooked. is such an old person, if she has nothing to do, she always plays tricks with her at every turn. The corners of Gu Qingxia's mouth twitched, thinking that there were indeed not many things in the afternoon, so he agreed. She also prefers to cook and eat by herself rather than eating out.

Her parents often told her to eat less outside, because the restaurants outside were oily, the seasoning was heavy, and it was unhealthy. She thinks so, too.

Think about what else is in the fridge and don't have to buy it. When I got home from work, I called Li Sheng and asked him when he would arrive. Li Sheng estimated the time for her. She pinched the dots and began to stir-fry.

She's figured it out. Compared with Li Sheng, her Taoism is still shallow in the end, and before she knows it, she was invaded by his strong and comprehensive invasion of her life. She just couldn't push him out again. After thinking about it again and again, she decided to brake with static and simply do nothing. If I do, I am afraid that it will arouse this man's inexplicable naïve psychology such as the desire to conquer, so it is better to retreat as advance.

She teased him too much at first. But she didn't believe that a wild horse like Li Sheng could really live such a dull life. After a long time, his interest at this time faded, and naturally the two of them regained their distance.

She was stir-frying with the kitchen door open, and was flipping, when she heard the sound of the door and knew that Li Sheng was back. It was quite punctual.

After a while, Li Sheng appeared at the door of the kitchen.

"Coming?" She said, "Go wash your hands." I'll be fine later. ”

Li Sheng let out an "um" and didn't move.

Gu Qingxia glanced at him. The man leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets. Looking at her eyes, it was a little weird, and there was no usual frivolous and indecent smile on her face, and her expression was a little unpredictable.

"What's wrong?" She was slightly stunned.

"It's fine." Li Sheng seemed to return to normal in an instant, and the corners of his mouth hooked his characteristic evil smile again.

He said, "Look at how you cook." ”

It's not serious. Gu Qingxia glanced at him and concentrated on turning the dishes in the wok.

Li Sheng leaned against the wall and looked at her.

He didn't expect it, so he asked the old cat to touch her house, and the old cat handed back a file bag with a yellow seal.

Li Sheng looked up at the old cat in astonishment, but the old cat lowered his eyebrows and said nothing. And Katsuko, who is interested, didn't follow up with the office and left room for them.

Li Sheng cut open the document bag and took out the contents inside. The background of the Gu family is actually very simple, Professor Gu is a physics major, and Teacher Ren is a Chinese major. The work and life of the two people, their hobbies, and the old cat have figured out the general situation, and one person has used one page to describe it. What is worth it for him to stay in Jiangdu for half a month?

Li Sheng flipped to the third piece of paper, and after reading the ten lines at a glance, his face slowly sank...... The narrow eyes suddenly raised, and the gaze as sharp as a knife shot at the old cat.

The old cat has seen life and death, but he can still hold on. The winner didn't come in, so he had to be scared.

"Those are just rumors." He explained, "The Gu family moved quickly and cut off contact with Miss Gu's middle school classmates. What the truth is, only the Gu family themselves knows. ”

Li Sheng lit a cigarette and smoked slowly. The old cat is as immobile as a mountain.

After smoking half of it, Li Shengcai said, "Call Shengzi in." ”

The old cat's shoulders loosened slightly, and he turned to go out. Katsuko was outside, and when she saw him come out, she stood up. "Tell you to come in." The old cat said, "Don't talk nonsense, you're in a bad mood." ”

Katsuko nodded knowingly.

When Katsuko entered, the pages were slowly shredded in the shredder next to Li Sheng's desk. Li Sheng is looking at the remade photos of the old cat. There are elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, and universities. He also chased him to the university, no wonder it was delayed for so long.

He has been a beautiful child since he was a child. In junior high school, the beauty blank is undoubtedly revealed. High school, although still young, is already a little beauty. He also saw Zhou Han in a group photo of high school, in a group of hairy boys like turtles, he looked ...... That's it.

And Gu Qingxia, whether it is elementary school, junior high school or high school, she is beautiful and lovely in the photo, smiling brightly. When I got to college...... It's a different story at all. Dressed in a bachelor's gown, standing among his classmates, looking at the camera. The expression is faint and the gaze is indifferent

From brightness to indifference, because there is a gap of one year in between.

A year in her life that disappeared.

Li Sheng put the photo in a drawer and said to Katsuko, "Give me the key." ”

Katsuko entered the house and felt the oppressive atmosphere, so she didn't dare to say a word, and stood for a long time. Hearing this, he hurriedly took out two car keys, and Li Sheng took one at random.

On the road, he kept thinking about what happened to her that year. Whatever it is, it must be painful and unbearable. Just look at those rumors. To this day, her classmates back then are still speculating like this when they talk about it.

Those people should be glad that he didn't know Gu Qingxia back then, otherwise he would have been in his former hot temper. If they dare to talk such nonsense, he will make them speechless again!

He vaguely understood why she attached so much importance to her career and making money. She...... Insecurity. No matter what happened that year, it turned her from a simple and innocent little girl to an insecure woman. So she worked hard to make money, holding her own business, alone, and making a living.

Yes, she has said more than once that she doesn't want to get married. He thought she was just a simple career woman, a simple unmarried. It turned out that it wasn't.

Along the way, Li Sheng felt that his chest was very blocked, and it was uncomfortable. He didn't know why.

When he arrived at Gu Qingxia's house, as soon as he opened the door, he smelled the aroma of the food, which made people relax unconsciously.

She was in the kitchen, wearing long-sleeved loungewear that looked very comfortable, tied with a light blue apron, and skillfully stir-frying. The long curls are casually tucked behind the head with hairpins, revealing a long, fair neck.

That was nine years ago...... It's been almost ten years, right? At that time, she must not have been as strong and resolute as she is now. The year it disappeared...... And all the things she had to face when she came back, how did she survive?

She was just a little girl!

Li Sheng felt that the feeling of blockage in his chest was getting stronger and stronger. If he can't go up or down, he will be blocked in his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Gu Qingxia glanced at him a little strangely. Her eyes are black and white, and her pupils are always dark and dark. Li Sheng has always been very fond of her eyes.

In the midst of this flash of light, he suddenly had an enlightenment. Originally...... The uncomfortable feeling in his chest...... It's distressing!

If you want to win people's hearts, you must first understand people's hearts.

Li Sheng is a man who is very good at controlling people. It means that his ability to read people's hearts is far stronger than others.

In the past, he felt that Gu Qingxia was a person who pursued the quality of life too much. She strives to enjoy the best and most refined life within her financial means. In the past, he didn't know why, and simply boiled it down to the word "woman".

And now that he knows her past, he looks at the delicacy in her room, the brightness of her clothes, the brightness of her life, and the beauty of her life, and the strength of her everywhere...... He chewed slowly, savoring the ...... In my heart, it hurts!

The higher she climbs, the more glamorous she lives, and the more she reflects how hard she once fell and how muddy she fell!

Gu Qingxia carefully grasped the heat. She didn't know that at this moment, Li Sheng saw her thoroughly from head to toe, from the inside to the outside.

In this world, in addition to her parents, there is another person who can understand her completely. If she knew, she probably wouldn't believe it.

Remove a dish from the pan and put it on a plate. She put the pot in the sink and planned to wash it and stir-fry the next dish.

The man suddenly hugged her from behind him, hugging her tightly. His hug is rare without a * aura, with an unusual toughness. His face was buried in her hair, and there was an unusual tenderness.

Gu Qingxia knew something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" She asked softly.

It was a long time before the man organized the language, and he kissed her sideburns......

"Gu Gu...... Come with me to see the Queen Mother. 166 Reading Network
