Xin Yao was puzzled by his eyes, and even felt a panic with a woman's sixth sense, and followed him to look around, looked around, didn't feel anything unusual, and then touched his face: "What's wrong?" Do I have any questions? ”

Jian Lao shook his head: "No, in fact, I don't know much about your mother's affairs back then, if you really want to talk about understanding her, she is just displaced after she became pregnant, abandoned by her lover, and then I asked her to help with me, which can be regarded as giving her a job that she can do during pregnancy, at that time, she hid many things about herself very deeply." Cover"

"Honestly, Xiao Ou she...... I mean, you? Mommy She ...... She never talked to me about her family and parents, I only knew after a few months with her that she had a man she loved, that is, Ji Qiuhang, but the man who had been in love with her for a few years, for status, fame, and many realistic things, abandoned her who was already pregnant, and married the youngest daughter of the He family, who had a good status in the military and political circles at that time. And Xiao Ou ......"

Jian Lao sighed: "Xiao Ou is very smart, but she doesn't like to use those brains on feelings, she firmly believes in the relationship between Ji Qiuhang and her, and in the end she hurt herself all over her body, if Xiao Ou had started to prevent He Manni's existence a day earlier, it would not have happened later, but she believed in He Manni too much, and she believed in Ji Qiuhang too much, and in the end, she was betrayed by her newfound friendship and abandoned by her beloved." ”

Ji Xinyao could only smile faintly when she heard about these past stories of her mother: "In this way, my mother had a child at that time, and Ji Qiuhang knew it." ”

Jian Lao frowned and muttered for a while: "No, I remember Xiao Ou said that she went to check out that she was pregnant after Ji Qiuhang and He Manni made their couple public in the military region, and Ji Qiuhang didn't know at that time, and later when Ji He and the two got engaged and married, Xiao Ou refused to give up, and came to the door with a big belly to explain the reason before giving birth, but at that time, He Manni was also pregnant. Yan"

Ji Xinyao's heart trembled, it turned out that her mother was so persistent.

"As for Shi Fang you just mentioned." Jian Lao hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I know that she is Xiaoou's very good sister at that time, the two of them studied together in an oil painting class in the United States when they were teenagers, and they are of the same age, I have only met Shi Fang once, she is very similar to your mother's temperament, I heard that they have been sisters for many years at that time, they often eat, live together, and live together, so for a long time, each other's preferences and so on are the same, even the perfume sprayed on the body is the same, I can't understand this comparison between women and women?" People still need close friendship, but now that they are older and have more and more experience, they can understand that women and women can indeed be inseparable like a pair of twin sisters when they are good. ”

"However, although your mother is weak on the surface, she is very strong and very stubborn in her bones, like a hedgehog that can't see the thorns, things are hidden in her heart, unless she has no choice but to do so, she will never go around talking about what happened to her, she said that she doesn't like to pretend to be weak and pitiful in front of people, and the blisters on her feet are all on her own, and it is also her own problem if she really loses. And Shi Fang, because of the excellent family situation since childhood, has a very cheerful personality, and at that time ......"

Speaking of this, Jian Lao suddenly hesitated, and then looked at Ji Xinyao again: "At that time, Shi Fang had just been in contact with Gu Yuanheng and was having a relationship with him?" The direction of development of people. ”

Xin Yao knew about the matter between Shi Fang and Gu Yuanheng, and Xiu Li had already recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, just now Jian Lao had also seen Xiu Li himself, but Jian Lao mentioned Shi Fang's affairs back then, why should he hesitate like this?

"I heard that Shi Fang's father was a very authoritative agent of a large military equipment manufacturer in China back then, and the family property was very rich, since the Shi family's conditions are good, and Shi Fang's personality is not withdrawn and eccentric, how can she be willing to be small for others? Although the Gu family is huge, listening to Shi Fang described by you like this, she shouldn't be unable to think about being a small type for others. ”

The more Xin Yao thought about it, the more confused she became, so she simply asked.

But Jian Lao sighed again, closed his mouth and said no more, after a while, he looked back and looked at the still lively crowd outside the window, his eyes were a little stunned: "I don't know any more things." ”

Although he didn't know how her mother suddenly committed suicide back then, but many things before that, Jian Lao must have known, from his expression, his eyes, and his movements, this is Ji Xinyao's professional habit, when communicating with people, he will notice the other party's qiē, Jian Lao's eyes flashed a little, obviously there was something unwilling to say.

Xin Yao hesitated for a moment before asking, "Was my mother's matter related to the Gu family back then?" ”

This is a question that she has been circling in her heart, the last time she was in the cemetery of Y City, what Shi Fang said made her dare not listen to it, but then thinking about what happened to her, and Jian Lao's desire to speak at the moment, she finally had the courage to ask.

Old Jian didn't speak, and at this time, Old Man Gu walked in with a cane and approached with a smile: "Old Jane, why don't I know how you like my granddaughter-in-law, the two of them have been standing here and chatting for a long time, what are they talking about?" Talk to the old man

, also take a look at what topics you old and young have in the New Year's Friends, so that I can also learn, otherwise I won't know how to communicate with young people in the future! ”

As soon as she saw the old man coming, Xin Yao straightened the expression on her face, and smiled at the old man in a blink of an eye: "Grandpa, look at what you said, is it possible that your granddaughter-in-law will talk to other old people a little more, and your old man will be jealous?" ”

"No, this is my precious granddaughter-in-law, this old Jane's son is not young, he has always had a successful career, and he has made the Jane family a big business, and I don't see that kid bring him a daughter-in-law back, I see, old Jane is looking at you and slandering!" Old man Gu smacked his lips when he was there, and he was not angry with his smile.

Jian Lao immediately replied to him with a smile: "Yes, my son is thirty years old, he knows all day long that he is busy with the company's affairs, and he eats his work as a meal, and there are indeed many women who want to stick to him on weekdays, but he doesn't look at others with half of his eyes, hey, I, I don't have many years to live, but that dead boy just didn't let me hug my grandson a day earlier, and you Gu old man, in a blink of an eye, my great-grandson is about to come out!" ”

Old Man Gu raised his eyebrows: "What, didn't your son have a girlfriend before?" What's wrong? When was it divided? ”

Seeing that the two old men here began to chat happily, it was completely inconvenient for Jian Lao to talk about anything else, so Xin Yao stepped aside and continued to be busy.

Maybe, what Shi Fang said at that time made her misunderstand, she didn't listen to it at that time, so she thought about it, maybe, maybe she listened to Shi Fang's advice at the beginning, things may not be like what she collapsed in her shallow consciousness, maybe...... In fact, Shi Fang's words were not aimed at the Gu family......

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

In the evening, after a busy afternoon, Xin Yao went back to the room to take a shower, and after resting for more than an hour, she changed her clothes and planned to go downstairs to continue to chat with the old man and the group of old friends.

As soon as she opened the bedroom door, she saw Gu Nancy standing outside the door, about to come in.

"Why did you get up? Grandpa doesn't have to accompany him

Is it? Xin Yao asked in surprise.

Gu Nancy sighed and walked into the bedroom, Xin Yao knew that he was chatting with the old man and a group of old people this day, and he was more tired than being busy in the city hall, so he turned around and poured him a glass of warm water and handed it to him: "Here, drink some water first, the injury on your body is just a little better, so it's too tired." ”

"It's okay, it's just some entertainment on the scene, not to mention that because I was seriously injured and just recovered, I didn't drink a drop of wine tonight, but fortunately, Xiuli had a good amount of wine, and helped me drink a lot on the table, but the wine for these two people was all blocked by him alone, and no matter how good the amount of wine was, it couldn't work. No, I just helped him back to his room to sleep for a while, and stopped by to see my wife before going downstairs. ”

As she spoke, Gu Nancy smiled and hugged her in her arms, passing her hand between her still wet hair, and then gently hooked the ends of her hair on the side of her shoulder, playing with her fingers, circling around again and again, as if she was very attached to the fragrance emanating from her body when she had just taken a bath.

Xin Yao laughed at him and reached out to pat his hand: "Oh, your hair hasn't dried yet, if you continue to go around in circles like this, you will definitely be given a style after it dries." ”

Gu Nancy just smiled, let go of her hair, and kissed her gently on the cheek: "Are you tired today?" Running inside and outside the house with a big belly, the old man usually likes to be quiet, so the maids at home didn't invite too much, and there were more guests who suddenly came, and you were too busy to sit down. ”

Xin Yao shook her head and chuckled: "No, it's good for your body to walk more, at most it's a day of walking, and the soles of your feet hurt a little." ”

Gu Nancy raised her eyebrows, and when she was about to pick up her wife's feet to see what she was tired of, Xin Yao saw that he wanted to see it, so she hurriedly smiled and pushed him: "Oops, itchy~ Don't look at it!" I'm talking about it! How can you be so pampered, only a few steps have been walked! Nancy, I've said it all, you're about to raise my little earth dog into a pampered little Jingba, this is not good! ”

"I feel sorry for you." Gu Nancy rubbed the top of her hair.

"I know, my mother and grandfather are watching it, just now I was afraid that I was too tired, my mother kept asking me to come up and rest, you see, the whole family was busy with the guests, so I went back to the house alone and lay down for a while, and took a bath, how comfortable~" Xin Yao smiled extremely satisfied, and suddenly kissed him on the mouth: "Don't you still want to go down, go quickly, I'll go down in a while." ”

As she spoke, she got up from his arms, watched him drink water, thought about it, and asked, "You just said that Xiuli drank too much?" How is he? Did you throw up? I'll go see him later. ”

"I didn't vomit, his wine was not bad, although he couldn't stand up straight when he was drunk, but he could still recognize the direction." Gu Nancy smiled: "His room smells of alcohol, it's okay if you want to go and see it, but don't take too long, the smell of tobacco and alcohol that you smell for too long is not good." ”

After that, Gu Nancy went downstairs again, and Xin Yao waited for her hair to dry and then coiled it on her head

After a hairbag, he went directly to Xiuli's room.

The building of the Gu family's main house is not big, and it is not small, but their bedrooms are on the second floor, Xiu Li's bedroom is in the innermost, near the staircase on the other side, originally he lived on the third floor, but then somehow, he moved to the second floor, when Xin Yao walked towards that side, because the lights in the corridor were dim, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Wen Qing's figure over there, she immediately stopped, and looked at Wen Qing's sneaky appearance suspiciously.

I saw Wen Qing walking this way from that neighborhood, holding a small box that Xin Yao looked a little familiar with, and when she walked here, she saw Ji Xin Yao standing here, Wen Qing immediately raised her head, glanced at her proudly, and then snorted again, and left as if no one was around.

How weird and weird?

Ji Xinyao hesitated for a while, thinking that Wen Qing had been nervous in recent months, and after thinking about it, she didn't take it seriously, there was no need to go straight to Xiu Li's room because she was in a bad mood.

The door of Xiu Li's room is closed, that is, turn the handle of the door, the door is not locked, she directly pushed the door open, quietly poked her head and looked in, there was only a soft bedside lamp in the room, not dazzling, Xiu Li was lying on the bed asleep, but the clothes on her body were still worn, only the shoes were taken off, and the body was covered with a quilt, she sighed, pushed the door and walked in.

Walking to the bed, she suddenly felt a gust of wind on the balcony, so she turned around and went to the balcony to take a look, only to see that from the balcony on the third floor to the balcony of his room on the second floor, the railings have just been renovated, and the fence around the semicircle has been removed, and it is a little dangerous to stand here.

Xin Yao thought about it, raised her hand and was about to close the window on the balcony, suddenly heard the movement by the window, turned her head to look, and saw that it was Xiu Li who turned over uncomfortably, and half of the quilt on her body fell to the ground.

The corners of her mouth twitched, and she walked over quickly: "Really, people are so big, why are they still like a child, kicking the quilt when they sleep!" ”

While muttering habitually, she covered him with the quilt, but she suddenly smelled a strong fragrance in the room, so she turned her head to look around for the source of this fragrance, and did not notice that Xiuli opened her eyes at this time.

Why is there such a strong fragrance in Xiuli's room all of a sudden?

Could it be that a maid didn't like the smell of wine in the room, and deliberately lit incense?

But the smell was too strong, and the smell had just blown from a gust of wind on the balcony, and the fragrance had passed through her nose, otherwise she really hadn't noticed.

"Why are you here?" Suddenly, Thuli's drunken voice sounded.

Ji Xinyao lowered her head to look at him and smiled gently: "What?" Do you forget that you drank with your friends in college before, and when you came home, you were drunk like mud, who served you like a young master and finally slept in the dark? ”

Xiu Li frowned, struggled to sit up, but pressed his forehead with one hand, and shook his head vigorously: "I drank too much, and the way those old guys persuaded them to drink was more ruthless than the other." ”

"Nonsense, how old are people, they have been eating and drinking in the military and political circles for decades, and they will persuade others to have a good time at the wine table, and pretend to be drunk after a few sips. Ji Xinyao couldn't help laughing at him, and when she saw that he was uncomfortable and wanted to get up, she hurriedly reached out to help him: "What's wrong?" Do you want to throw up? I'll help you to the bathroom. ”

Xiu Li shook his head and waved his hand: "I'll go by myself, you can go back and rest, it's been a busy day." ”

"You're drunk like this, not to mention I told Nancy before I just came, don't worry, he won't misunderstand or anything, I'll help you over." Xin Yao smiled, in front of her was her younger brother who had been dependent on her for more than 20 years, no matter how ruthless she said at the beginning, she couldn't bear to see him drunk and uncomfortable like this.

Xiu Li stood up and shook it, and Xin Yao reached out to help: "Wait a while to get you something to relieve hangover, otherwise your stomach will be uncomfortable at night." ”
