Shan Heping returned to China for the first time in 20 years, and he came directly to G City, and the government would naturally personally set up a dinner party, and everyone in the city's major organs went to the hotel to prepare to greet the secretary of the Central Military Commission more than 20 years ago.

Nowadays, no matter how high-level the central political councilor is, he is not as strong as a backbone of the Central Military Commission who holds military power, and Shan Heping, as the ruler of the country's military power of the older generation, is naturally majestic and magnificent, and even Old Man Gu and Gu Yuanheng have been invited, and this Shan Heping's momentum can be seen.

In the lobby of the most prestigious hotel in G City, the crystal lamps are shining, the red carpet is laid out, and the major dignitaries are talking in groups of three or five.

Opposite the crowd, Wen Qing and Old Man Gu stood together, Old Man Gu was smiling and talking to a middle-aged man in military uniform in front of him, Wen Qing on the side listened to them quietly and did not interject, and Gu Yuanheng was standing in front, Ji Xinyao could see him as soon as she raised her eyes, and coincidentally, when she turned her eyes, Gu Yuanheng also saw her, but she didn't have a good face, and when she glanced at her, it was as if she was just a stranger, her eyes were still indifferent.

Out of politeness, Ji Xinyao walked over slowly: "Dad." 弼"

Gu Yuanheng glanced at her coldly, and there were several dignitaries standing close to him, so he responded lightly.

The knot between Gu Yuanheng and Old Man Gu may not be untied for a while, but seeing that Gu Yuanheng had a little response to her because there were people around him who couldn't put down their faces, she suddenly smiled lightly, walked forward slowly, and handed him a glass of juice that she had just held in her hand: "Shan Lao is coming to G City tonight, I'm afraid everyone will have to accompany you until late tonight, you seem to have rushed over in the afternoon, how can you not eat dinner yet, let's drink some juice first." ”

"Thanks, no." Gu Yuanheng didn't like her at all and refused indifferently.

Ji Xinyao was not discouraged, holding the cup in her hand, with a natural smile on her lips: "Dad, the incident that happened during your Mid-Autumn Festival, in fact, I also had something wrong, which made you and grandpa unhappy, Xin Yao apologized to you here, you ......" She blinked, looking at Gu Yuanheng, whose face was not a little relaxed: "For the sake of me as a child, don't take it too seriously, okay?" ”

Gu Yuanheng stared at her coldly.

At a glance, it can be seen that this girl seems to be sharp, but she can bend and stretch, he slapped her without asking the reason, although she had been unwilling in her eyes, but she calmed down her mind very well, did not justify herself, only let the facts speak, did not cry, did not spread wild, always advanced and retreated, did not be willful because of grievances, and did not hold grudges.

Gu Yuanheng's eyes crossed a little appreciation, but he said sharply: "Ji Xinyao, it's a good thing to have a mind and understand proportion, but if you use this little cleverness where it shouldn't be used, you will be the one who suffers." ”

Ji Xinyao had a faint reserved smile on her lips, and raised her eyes to look at the burly and masculine Gu Yuanheng, how could she not hear it, what he meant by this was that she married Gu Nancy by tricks, and it was with these unused cleverness that she mixed into the Gu family and was qualified to call him Dad.

It seems that Wen Qing has already infiltrated some consciousness in their hearts, and her crime of climbing to the top of the branch under the pretense of public opinion can be said to be a certainty.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiaoqing is also too sad, she admits that she fell by herself, because she can't be angry, so she puts the responsibility on you." Gu Yuanheng said suddenly.

Ji Xinyao was not happy that he finally revealed the truth, because Gu Yuanheng did not have the slightest intention of blaming Wen Qing in his eyes, he looked at her coldly, and his tone was very indifferent: "People will occasionally be married by negative feelings, Xiaoqing is not sensible, and the reason is also in our love for her, but in the final analysis, you should not appear after all." ”

Ji Xinyao chuckled.

Even such a false accusation and such a mistake can be taken by the Gu family to themselves, saying that it is because they love it too much, and that it is because of her appearance that Wen Qing will become like this.

She didn't know what to do at this moment except laughing, but her heart was already cold.

"Dad." She raised her eyes and looked at his majestic eyes without timidity: "Every girl in this world has grown up slowly from ignorance, maybe I'm not more sensible than her, I'm just more tolerant than her." ”

She smiled and met Gu Yuanheng's frosty gaze.

"What do you mean, you're going to spend time with our Gu family?" He narrowed his eyes, his eyes full of displeasure.

"I always believe that people will see people over time." She smiled back. Even though Gu Yuanheng had already taken a deep breath angrily, he just glared at her, as if she was the kind of woman who was extremely difficult, maybe if she wasn't a woman, he might just shoot her directly.

At this moment, there was a stir in front of the main entrance of the hotel, and some people's words faintly came from their ears: "It's Shan Lao!" ”

In order to prevent Gu Yuanheng from suddenly being unhappy and really shot her, Ji Xinyao smiled at him again, and quickly disappeared in front of his eyes while glaring at him.

She shuttled through the crowd, and noticed Gu Nancy's figure in a shadow of longing, he stood at the other end of the crowd, his posture was tall and long, and his bearing was extraordinary, and when she noticed him, he also saw her in the sea of people, looking at each other, his gentle gaze with a little appreciation and some encouragement.

Only then did she know that when she was talking to Gu Yuanheng just now, Gu Nancy had seen it early.

Suddenly, she also smiled and bent her eyebrows, and was about to walk towards him, but when she caught a glimpse of the figure walking in in front of the main entrance of the hotel, her footsteps froze.

At the very focus of everyone's sight, an old man about seventy years old walked in, the old man was the same as the old man Gu, even though he was old, his eyes were bright, in terms of information, Shan Heping was seventy-four years old, but he himself looked younger, very energetic, although his hair was gray, but his pace was steady and very straight.

And following behind her was a goose yellow' color European and American style loose long skirt, with a slender figure, long hair still tied high into a neat ponytail hanging down the back of her head, a fair and beautiful face dyed with light makeup, and a very confident and sweet smile - Shan Ying.

As if there was a moment of trance, she even felt Shan Yingda walk in as soon as she walked in, and her eyes were the first to glance at her side.

And when Ji Xinyao looked at them, Shan Ying's eyes had already encompassed the people around her, walking behind Shan Heping, she did not have a glorious and luxurious dress, simple and clean from top to bottom, her eyes still showed a faint sense of agility, her eyes swept slightly between everyone, and fell on her again, in that eye, there was still a faint playfulness.

The hall burst into applause, and several dignitaries in the city greeted him with smiles on their faces.

Ji Xinyao didn't know when she was squeezed to the front by the crowd, just a few steps away from Shan Ying and Shan Lao, she barely stood firm, lowered her head to get the DV machine in her hand, and was about to turn it on, suddenly, she seemed to notice a majestic and cold gaze facing her, subconsciously raised her head, but saw Shan Lao's gaze fell on her, that look of not angry and powerful momentum made the people around couldn't help but sigh, but Ji Xinyao received Shan Lao's cold gaze, and then, as if everyone's eyes came one after another, For a moment, almost everyone looked at her with Shan Lao's gaze.

Ji Xinyao met Shan Lao's gaze fixedly.

Since she was a child, what kind of sarcasm, disgust, disgust, and cold eyes have she never seen? Naturally, he will not be afraid, but the old man's eyes are like thousands of arrows piercing his heart in an instant.

However, when everyone's eyes fell on her, she slowly hooked the corners of her mouth, looked at Shan Lao's gaze, smiled at him, and smiled back at all the different eyes in front of her.

Especially when Wen Qing's gaze also looked in her direction, there was a faint sarcasm in those beautiful eyes.

It's rare for Wen Qing to be so well-behaved today and not to entangle Gu Nancy, why? Because she knows the past of Shan Ying and Gu Nancy? Because of the relationship between Shan Ying and Shan Lao, she didn't dare to mess around? Or is it because Shan Lao is here, she doesn't dare to be presumptuous? Or, in front of Old Man Gu, she will always play the quiet and lovely girl? So, he only followed Old Man Gu and didn't say a word?

In order to gain a firm foothold in the Gu family, he suppressed all his emotions and nature like this, and lived so unchicly, why bother?

Suddenly, her hand was grasped by a strong hand, and Gu Nancy walked over at some point and held her hand in public.

At that moment, the sarcasm in Wen Qing's eyes gradually cooled, and the hand hanging by his side was clenched into a fist, but he couldn't bear it.

And Shan Lao's gaze fell on Gu Nancy when he came over, and he rarely showed a smile: "Good boy, I haven't seen you for five years, and I am more and more energetic!" Look, those of us of the older generation are going to be compared to you! ”

Shan Lao pointed at Old Man Gu and Gu Yuanheng over there: "Zhanzhong, back then, your son was enough to impress me, and now your grandson is even more amazing!" ”

"Isn't your precious granddaughter also a heroine?" Old Man Gu walked over with a smile and looked at Shan Ying with admiration in his eyes.

"Shan Lao has been in the military for decades, and his prestige is very high, how dare the younger generation compare with you, I'm afraid that with just one gun of Shan Lao, my little life will be gone."

Gu Nancy Qingyue's voice was a calm and unfazed one, and he was calm and calm, and he even asked Shan Lao to nod with a smile: "When your grandfather asked you to give up business and enter politics five years ago, I saw that you were a good seedling, but I didn't expect that in just five years, your kid has already dominated the political circles, which really amazes us of the older generation!" It's a pity that this stinky girl lingers, ...... back then"

Shan Lao suddenly turned his head sideways, and glanced meaningfully at Shan Ying, who was standing behind him, with a little helplessness in his eyes.

"Grandpa, look at your pride, you said that Nancy was good back then, and said that if he was a politician, he would be able to achieve something, which really made you right." Shan Ying smiled, turned to look at Gu Nancy, and said in a crisp and nice voice: "But you also said back then, only Nancy is worthy of being your grandson-in-law......

She seemed to have something to say, her eyes swept over Gu Nancy's face, and she instantly looked at Ji Xinyao.

Meeting Shan Ying's smiling and seemingly harmless gaze, Ji Xinyao felt that Gu Nancy's grip on her hand increased slightly, she was encouraged, and smiled indifferently at Shan Ying's gaze.

She smiled, Shan Ying also smiled, her eyes glanced at their hands at the same time, but her eyes did not change, her eyes slowly rose, gently, quietly, and fell on Gu Nancy's face.

"Yes, Nancy, I couldn't think about it back then, you ...... Hey......" Old Man Shan sighed, as if it was because there were too many people present, it was inconvenient to say more, shook his head and turned around and went to Old Man Gu's side to talk.

At the moment when Shan Ying's eyes fell on Gu Nancy's face, Gu Nancy's eyes were soaked in a faint coldness, looking at Shan Ying, but after all, she didn't mention the so-called "things of the year" according to her words, pursed her thin lips and didn't move, looking at her calmly, as polite and indifferent as in front of the city hall that day.

This kind of politeness, this kind of attitude of looking at them with a delicate smile, this kind of casual but lightly playful attitude, Gu Nancy is indifferent from beginning to end.

And this disregard ......

But Ji Xinyao felt that the chill began to spread from the soles of her feet.

She remembered that Qin Muyan once mentioned the reason why Gu Nancy gave up business and entered politics, it seemed to be because of feelings, but she never said the name Shan Ying.

She remembered that Gu Yufei had said that Shan Ying was a taboo in Gu Nancy's world, and she should not mention it to him.

She thought that Gu Nancy would be moved the moment she saw Shan Ying, but that day he stopped beside her, held her hand, and told Shan Ying that she was his wife.

Although Gu Nancy was calm and self-controlled, she could feel that Shan Ying's appearance seemed to have been expected by him, he should have driven by the square that morning, and when he saw the figure standing under the flagpole, he had already recognized that it was Shan Ying, and his calm and calm was different from what she imagined.

However, thinking carefully about what happened before and after, although Gu Nancy was calm enough, it did not mean that Shan Ying's appearance had no influence on him.

On the contrary, Gu Nancy is a person who knows too much about restraining his feelings, and although he quietly draws a symbol of alienation between him and Shan Ying, it also proves his deliberate evasion.

His deliberate alienation and avoidance of Shan Ying is the sour feeling that Ji Xinyao really cares about but can't say.

If a person really forgets about someone, there is no need to avoid it......

At this time, Shan Lao had already walked to Old Man Gu's side, and he didn't know what he was talking about, and Wen Qing's eyes lingered back and forth on Shan Ying and Ji Xinyao, as if there was some dark streamer flickering in his eyes.

Although today is a reception banquet held in the name of the government, it is the home of the older generation, because Shan Heping has not returned to China for more than 20 years, most of the people who come today are those elders over sixty years old, all of whom are old friends from more than 20 years ago, and Gu Nancy is deliberately low-key, so the center of today is not him, Ji Xinyao is standing beside him, it is rare to be greedy for a trace of quietness, looking at the crowd of shadows and longings over there.

It wasn't until Shan Ying was called over by Shan Lao to greet several seniors who had never seen him before, that Shan Ying turned around and walked over without hesitation.

It's obviously inevitable, but it's not entangled, Shan Ying's style of doing things is too confident, but it seems that there are enough reasons for being confident.

Is it because she believes that Gu Nancy's heart is always on her, or does she believe that she Ji Xinyao is not worth mentioning at all?

Suddenly, there was a slight pain in her hand, it was Gu Nancy who suddenly pinched her hand, she subconsciously turned her eyes to look at him, but saw him smiling gently at her, that faint gentleness and concern could not be mixed with half a point of fake: "What do you think?" ”

She was stunned and said half-jokingly: "I was thinking, Shan Lao said that you would be his grandson-in-law......

When she saw Shan Ying's photo, Gu Nancy must not have known that Gu Yufei didn't seem to be the kind of person with a lot of tongues, but she just let her see the photo, so she shouldn't mention it everywhere.

As soon as her words came out, the corners of Gu Nancy's lips tilted slightly: "Ji Xinyao, many times, many things have to be seen with your eyes, not just with your ears. ”

Looking with your eyes?

Ji Xinyao looked at him fixedly.

Seeing her staring at him with straight eyes, Gu Nancy frowned: "Why do you look at me like this?" ”

"Didn't you say I should see with my eyes?" Her face was full of naturalness, and she continued to stare at her.

He chuckled, raised his hand over her eyes, this gentle and affectionate action made her raise her lips and smile, against the warm hand that was covered in front of her, at this moment, she just couldn't see his face, couldn't see his expression, she asked softly, "Nancy, we'll love each other, right?" ”

He put down his hand and smiled at the way she opened her eyes suddenly, her eyelashes fluttering, "Aren't you already in love with me?" ”

"Gah? When was this? She glared.

He smiled and hugged her into his arms: "I just found out." ”

She obediently leaned into his arms, her face pressed against her chest, and the corner of her eyes looked at the figure standing in the crowd that seemed to be as dazzling as Gu Nancy's.

She didn't want to admit it.

In love, whoever is serious first is the passive party, and she doesn't want to be the loser in love anymore.

But now, in Gu Nancy's book, she couldn't even guess that she was the protagonist and supporting role, how could she guess this ending?

More than half an hour later, because Ji Xinyao still had work, she could only turn around with the DV machine and go to act alone, taking pictures here and there, and then recording a grand occasion from time to time, and when she was almost done, she was about to go to the editor-in-chief Zhang who was also present, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Wen Qing walking towards her.

She looked at Wen Qing's expression quietly, and caught a glimpse of the Liuhai that she had deliberately cut out to cover the scar on her forehead.

"Ji Xinyao, you're very proud, right?" Wen Qing said in a voice that only she could hear clearly: "Don't be complacent too early, Shan Ying is not easy to deal with, do I want to wish you to get out of the Gu family as soon as possible?" Why not pop a glass of champagne to celebrate? ”

As she spoke, she made a gesture to get the champagne on the side.

Ji Xinyao raised her hand to hold down the bottle of champagne, did not let her pick it up, and chuckled while Wen Qing slowly moved her eyes to look at her: "Miss Wen, my tolerance for you is limited, last time I could think that you were ignorant, but I warn you, don't be uneasy and want to destroy it with external force, if I am provoked, next time, you will not fall into the pool." ”

She meant everything, with a thorn in her words, maybe she would smile very gracefully, and for this Miss Wen Qingwen, her attitude was enough to give Old Man Gu face, I hope she will stop being "willful and ignorant", otherwise, she will definitely not be polite again!

Wen Qing suddenly glared at her resentfully, and her chest fluctuated and fluctuated: "Ji Xinyao, don't think that you can do whatever you want with a marriage certificate!" Believe it or not, sooner or later, one day, you will definitely get out of the Gu family! ”

At this moment, Ji Xinyao did not answer again, because Gu Nancy had already walked slowly and was standing behind Wen Qing.
