Two days later.

The lights in Gu's house are colorful, and the princess is busy pasting Spring Festival couplets and hanging lanterns inside and out, these are all things that the old man likes, and they have posted a lot, saying that they look festive.

"Xin Yao, your belly is getting more and more obvious." He Jiezhen, who went downstairs after seeing Yufei from upstairs, smiled and looked at Ji Xinyao's belly.

Ji Xinyao couldn't help but bow her head, looked at the slightly bulging abdomen under her clothes, and met Gu Nancy's gaze in a blink of an eye, seeing the satisfied and expectant smile in his eyes, she also laughed and woke up.

She turned her head: "Mom, has Yufei eaten?" ”

"I've eaten, I'm asleep now." He Jiezhen nodded, walked over, and then looked at Xin Yao's belly carefully: "Really, it's only been three months, I can't wait for this child to be born, look at this belly, it has already shown so much, could it be that I am pregnant with two?" ”

Gu Nancy chuckled on the side: "Maybe it's true." ”

Ji Xinyao immediately raised her hand to her mouth in embarrassment and coughed, and whispered: "It's the first time I've been a mother, and I can't take care of any of them, if it's two, wouldn't it be so scrambling to take care of one or the other?" ”

Gu Nancy whispered in her ear: "At that time, the whole Gu family should be happy to share it for you." ”

Xin Yao's brain instantly made up the appearance of Gu Nancy holding a baby and then coaxing the child while holding a bottle to feed......

She was embarrassed, but she couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but look forward to the day coming soon.

"Yes, it would be better if it could be two, if you only gave birth to one, the old man alone occupies the child every day and doesn't hold us, I'm afraid I will be slandered at that time!" He Jiezhen smiled and said, "If it's two, I can hug more." ”

"This child hasn't been born yet, you and I grabbed the ...... with the old man" At this time, Old Man Gu walked in from outside the door, and the old god glanced at He Jiezhen.

He Jiezhen smiled: "Dad, look at what you said, didn't you have been babbling for many years, saying that you really want to have a few children dangling in front of your old eyes, no, Xin Yao's belly is angry, it's only been three months, it's already so obvious, I see, it must be a twin!" ”

Seeing her mother-in-law's excited expression, Xin Yao couldn't help but whisper: "Mom, this is just speculation, maybe it's because I've eaten a lot recently and gained some weight......"

"It's better to be fatter, it's better to have one or two! They are all the hearts and minds of our Gu family! ”

But after He Jiezhen finished speaking just now, the old man deliberately looked at Xin Yao's stomach, and his eyes were a little brighter: "It's really a lot more obvious." ”

Ji Xinyao is obviously the key protection object of the Gu family now, and when she sees the light in the old man's eyes again, she can't help but smile.

"Grandpa, I heard that when the child is not born yet, you can't let the child be too spoiled, you are so loving and spoiling him now, I am afraid that you will be spoiled before he is born~"

"I think it's possible, this old man has been looking forward to this day, maybe in the future, this kid wants an aircraft carrier, and he can find a way to get it." He Jiezhen laughed.

Old Man Gu's eyes were a little pleasant: "My own great-grandson, who does I hurt if I don't hurt?" ”

Gu Nancy hugged Xin Yao lightly, smiled and said, "You are the treasure of the Gu family now, I'm afraid that even I can't touch it now." ”

Xin Yao smiled and bent her eyes, and suddenly remembered the old man's indifferent face when she first entered the Gu family, Wen Qing's prickly words and false accusations, Gu Yuanheng's slap and all the alienation that the Gu family had given her.

And now, Mr. Gu, who almost really treats her as a baby, his acceptance, his smiling face, and his decision for her all make her feel the warmth of home.

The flesh and blood affection and family warmth that she has lacked for more than 20 years were actually given to her by the Gu family, and it was also because of the man named Gu Nancy next to her that the future road that she once had to walk alone seemed to be illuminated by the boundless warm sun.

At this time, there was a sound of cars outside, and the old man thought that Gu Yuanheng was back, so he turned around and walked out to have a look.

And when Ji Xiuli appeared in everyone's sight, the old man's steps suddenly stopped, standing in front of the door with a cane, and saw Ji Xiuli close the car door from a distance, stand by the car, and look at them.

Xin Yao also saw Xiu Li and immediately raised her eyebrows.

The night two days ago, it was Xiu Li who called, and she directly told him what the old man had said, and Xiu Li was silent for a long time, and then said that he said to think about it.

Because I didn't know if Xiu Li would come back, Xin Yao never told the old man, but I didn't expect Xiu Li to really come.

Gu Nancy knew about her phone call that night, so she was not surprised, but they glanced at He Jiezhen at the same time.

He Jiezhen didn't say anything when she saw Xiu Li get out of the car, and just smiled at Xin Yao and Nancy when their eyes came.

Presumably today is Chinese New Year's Eve, no matter how much He Jiezhen, as a woman, rejects the children born to her husband and other women, but today's day is the reunion that the old man is most looking forward to, how smart Jiezhen, how can she sweep everyone's happiness.

So at this moment, Ji Xinyao finally understood why the old man obviously wanted to find this little grandson, but he never went to find it, maybe it was because this daughter-in-law knew how to measure too much, so the old man Gu didn't want to hurt her, and he didn't want to destroy this family.

The old man was at the forefront, only froze for a moment, and then hurriedly walked over with his crutches.

They followed behind Old Man Gu until Xiu Li walked in, and the old man seemed to be a little excited: "Child......"

Xiu Li's expression was very light, he glanced at Old Man Gu indifferently, standing in front of the old man, although he had no expression, he still nodded to him politely: "Old Gu." ”

He shouted "Old Gu", not grandpa, but Old Man Gu was not affected at all, just smiled happily and nodded, as if he was very satisfied: "Okay, good boy, you are willing to come back to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with grandpa, grandpa is so happy......"

The corners of Xiu Li's lips moved slightly, he smiled, and in a blink of an eye, he directly seemed to ignore everyone and walked towards Ji Xinyao.

Seeing Xiu Li walking towards him, Xin Yao was stunned for a moment, but he also calmly said at the moment he walked over: "Xiu Li." ”

"Ji Xinyao, since I can remember, we have spent Chinese New Year's Eve together for more than 20 years, and this year is no exception."

And yet he said so.

The implication is that he will come back to the Gu family, not because of his blood relationship with the Gu family, but simply because she Ji Xinyao is alone.

Because she's here for herself.

Xin Yao's heart moved, and she quickly adjusted the most appropriate expression: "Look at what you said, you have been sticking to my sister since you were a child, and you are always inseparable." But after all, you have the blood of the Gu family in your body, and this year you can not only continue to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with me, but also with all your relatives, how good it is! ”

Over there, Old Man Gu walked back, with expectation in his eyes, looked at Xiu Li's figure, and then looked at Xin Yao: "Yes, child, since you are back, our family will sit together and have a good reunion, let go of those things of the previous generation, and this will be your home in the future." ”

But Xiu Li didn't seem to hear it, just looked at Ji Xinyao.

Xin Yao was also slightly moved because of the old man's words, and once Xiu Li said that where there is Ji Xin Yao, where is his home.

At that time, they were still siblings......

Even though she was full of emotion in her heart, she didn't show it, just smiled calmly.

Xiu Li paused, raised his hand and was about to touch her, but suddenly, Gu Nancy stretched out his hand and held his hand directly, quietly separating the distance between him and Xin Yao.

Silently handled, Gu Nancy looked at Xiu Li with a calm and indifferent smile, and Xiu Li also held his hand back at that moment, and looked at him expressionlessly.

At that moment, Ji Xinyao seemed to be able to see that there seemed to be an invisible net between the two of them, and it seemed to be a friendly and polite handshake like a brother, but under this calm surface, she could feel the hostility between them.

"Welcome home." Gu Nancy smiled indifferently with her brother's tolerance.

Xiu Li only hooked his lips coldly, which was polite.

After the two let go of their hands, Gu Nancy casually pulled the neckline of Ji Xinyao's coat together, the movements were skillful and considerate, and then he gently held her in his arms: "The wind is very cold today." ”

"Go in, you really can't catch a cold, every time you catch a cold, you will have a high fever." Xiu Li's voice immediately followed, with a bit of indifference that seemed to be Ji Xinyao's once exclusive to him.

Gu Nancy ignored it, patted Xin Yao on the shoulder, and motioned for her to enter the door.

Until everyone entered the door, He Jiezhen turned her face away when she received Xiu Li's gaze: "I'll go see Yufei." With that, she went upstairs.

"Your brother and sister seem to have a good relationship." Old Man Gu sat on the sofa, looked at Xin Yao with a smile, and then looked at Xiu Li: "It's so good, if it weren't for Xin Yao, I'm afraid the old man, I won't be able to see you until I enter the ground." ”

"Grandpa, life is inherently wonderful, maybe it's all predestined." Ji Xinyao took over.

"Yes, it's doomed." The old man nodded, and then looked at Xiu Li: "Xiu Li, after the Spring Festival, don't go back to F City, I see that the relationship between you and Xin Yao's sister and brother is good, you also live in Gu Zhai, we can arrange any work we want in the Gu family, F City is too far away, grandpa is old, I want to see you, it's really difficult to ......"

"Grandpa is right, since he is back, he will live in Gu Mansion." Gu Nancy's voice was not shocked, but her faint eyes were a little intriguing.

Xiu Li did not agree or deny, but when Wang Ma poured the tea, she took the teacup and said lightly: "Thank you." ”

For a moment, Xin Yao seemed to be able to feel that Xiuli had changed a lot, he was quieter than before, and his temperament was a little lower, no longer like the sunny big boy he used to be, and no longer the Ji Xiuli who always accompanied her with a hippie smile in front of her.

Is it the truth of his life experience, or something else, in short, the silent man in front of him has made Ji Xinyao gradually unable to see through.

So she didn't know what to say, although she really wanted to knock on this kid's head to see what he was thinking now, but in front of Old Man Gu......

Let's give this kid some face......

****************************************************************************************

In the afternoon, Wang Ma and the others were cleaning up Xiu Li's room, Xiu Li was called to Old Man Gu's study, Xin Yao went to Wang Ma to help, and told them about Xiu Li's daily living habits.

And when Xin Yao came out of the room, I saw Wen Qing standing at the corner of the stairs, I didn't see her last night, but now when I saw her, I saw that she actually cut her hair, and her waist-length wavy curls became only as long as her shoulders, but she looked much more energetic.

Xin Yao walked to the stairs and was about to go downstairs, but Wen Qing stayed at the top of the stairs and didn't give way.

"Get out of the way." Ji Xinyao glanced at her lightly.

"In this family, there are more and more people looking towards you, and now there is another Ji Xiuli, oh no...... Maybe he should be called Gu Xiuli. Wen Qing's eyes were full of resentment, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and her smile was a little weird: "Ji Xinyao, why do you have to force me like this?" ”

Xin Yao looked at her indifferently: "I forced you?" She suddenly laughed: "Miss Wen, could it be that your brain accidentally got into the water during the Mid-Autumn Festival last time?" Is it really true that you don't distinguish between right and wrong, or do you just like to mess around with me so much? Who's pushing whom? Who is it who is vexatious and self-righteous all day long, making everyone uneasy? I don't care how much you and Ji Chengcheng hate me, but Miss Wen, for someone like you who doesn't like me, I am really comfortable to be able to block your heart! ”

Wen Qing still looked at her with a half-smile and a smile, as if something was flashing in her eyes, as if she had caught her with some trick, so arrogant and unwilling, standing at the top of the stairs like this, just refusing to get out of the way.

"I said, what are you doing here?" Ji Xinyao laughed angrily: "You want to kill me with your eyes?" Or slap me? What do you want to do directly, you can talk so much nonsense with me? ”

"What am I hitting you for?" Wen Qing bent her lips: "Now that you are the treasure of the Gu family, I am forcing myself to a dead end by moving you a single hair, do you think I am really so stupid?" Last time, if it wasn't for the wine, I wouldn't have done that with a fruit knife, but it's come to this point, and I haven't talked much, but Ji Xinyao, don't really think that you are so lucky, what should come will always come, I am waiting to see your good show. ”

Ji Xinyao was very strange when she heard her words, thinking that she was deliberately nervous and trying to provoke something, but seeing her determined look, she couldn't help staring at her eyes: "What do you mean?" ”

"It's not interesting, take your time to watch the show." Wen Qing smiled.

Ji Xinyao was impatient with her, and after looking at her again, she planned to bypass her directly and turn around and go downstairs.

"Ji Xinyao, do you know why the Ji family has always wanted to find that crystal necklace? Do you know why they blocked the story of your mom jumping off the building and committing suicide back then? Wen Qing's eyes were faint, but with a deep coolness, like a piece of ice sinking in the abyss, stabbing into Ji Xinyao's eyes.

"Don't talk to me about this nonsense! If you have something to say, you don't need to play psychological tactics with me! Ji Xinyao suddenly turned her eyes and rebuked mercilessly: "Wen Qing, the old man can tolerate you emotionally for many years, but I'm not used to you, I warn you, don't want to play any tricks on me!" ”

Wen Qing glanced at her coldly, and said with a smile: "When will it be your turn to warn me?" ”

After speaking, she turned her head and left, walked a few steps and stopped, suddenly turned around, and said, "Ji Xinyao, you are so pitiful." ”

Xin Yao's heart was stunned by her eyes, but she said indifferently: "If I am pitiful, then Miss Wen, you are pathetic!" ”

With that, she turned and went downstairs.

When she walked to the second floor, she saw Gu Nancy come up to pick her up: "Been there for so long?" The room is cleaned up? The faint smell of his body lingered in his nose in an instant, and the indifferent voice of Qingyue could always soothe the turmoil in her heart in an instant.

Ji Xinyao nodded: "It's almost, why did you come up to pick me up?" I'm not a child, and besides, Thuli's room is on the third floor, so I won't get lost. ”

Gu Nancy smiled: "Children are more worry-free than you." ”
