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

Xin Yao pursed her lips, looked back at the stairs above, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "You heard the conversation between me and Wen Qing just now, right?" ”

He raised his eyebrows, but he also acquiesced.

What did she mean by that? Isn't my mother's necklace one of the pieces of evidence in that embezzlement case? But no matter who the person involved is, the current necklace is even physical evidence, but my mother's witness is no longer alive, but Wen Qing mentioned the Ji family again, what does she mean? Wake up"

Ji Xinyao asked very seriously.

Gu Nancy hooked her lips, and there was a bit of comfort in her eyes: "Do you take Wen Qing's words seriously?" ”

"I know I can't take it seriously, but I always feel that what she said is very certain, so I will inevitably think about it carefully."

Ji Xinyao was very puzzled, but she knew that her mother had been dead for so many years, even if there was really something hidden, what could she do?

So she hid the confusion in her heart and showed a smile: "Forget it, you're right, Wen Qing's words are really not taken seriously sometimes, just like just heard a joke." ”

When Gu Nancy heard her say this, the corners of her lips rose slightly, half-wrapped around her, and took her downstairs with her.

"Nancy, how many days is the Spring Festival break at your city hall?" When she went downstairs, Xin Yao suddenly asked.

Gu Nancy glanced at her: "Different departments are different, some only take five days off, but most people have ten days off. ”

"And when are we going back to Nippori? Wait until your vacation is over? She asked in a whisper.

Maybe it's her selfishness, although she really wants to accompany the old man and He Jiezhen more, not to mention that Yufei's matter doesn't seem to have been resolved, but because of the time bomb of Wen Qing in Gu's family, and the hostility between Xiuli and Gu Nancy, she suddenly misses Nippori, the home that only belongs to Gu Nancy and her.

Maybe Xin Yao didn't hide the concerns in her heart, and the feelings were already in her eyes, and Gu Nancy seemed to have seen through her mind in an instant.

"After tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve, we will return to Sunset on the day you want to go back." He laughed.

"Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, if you let me go, I won't leave~" Xin Yao glared at him.

"I know that you will inevitably have a lot of restraints in the Gu Mansion, especially Wen Qing, but now that it is the Spring Festival after all, I may have to wronged you for a day or two, and then endure it, huh?"

Just now she said that she is not as worry-free as a child, but now in a tone that seems to be coaxing a child, Xin Yao's lips curved with joy, and said with relief: "Then let's stay with grandpa for a few more days." ”

Gu Nancy looked at her funny, and the two of them had already walked to the living room as they spoke.

He Jiezhen was standing in front of the window, I don't know how long she had been standing.

Xin Yao paused, thought about it, and whispered, "Nancy, I'll go talk to my mother for a while." ”

It didn't take too many words for Gu Nancy to know what she was thinking now, Rushui looked at her with a watery gaze and chuckled: "What a caring daughter-in-law." ”

After that, Ji Xinyao poured a glass of water, walked to the window, and stood beside He Jiezhen, not speaking at first, but just turning her head sideways and quietly looking at her expression.

As a result, He Jiezhen glanced back at her, and there was a hint of amusement in her calm eyes: "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

"Mom." Xin Yao smiled and handed her a glass of water: "Women usually drink more water when they are fine, although you maintain it very well, but drinking more water is more effective than any skin care products." ”

He Jiezhen took the water cup and put it in her hand, but she didn't drink it, just looked at her: "What do you want to say to me?" ”

Sure enough, her mother-in-law doesn't like to beat around the bush with people, so Xin Yao no longer has to think about how to pull the words into the topic, so she said directly: "After you met Xiu Li that time, did you already guess his life experience?" ”

He Jiezhen nodded.

"Mom, will you blame me?"

"Why should I blame you?"

He Jiezhen held the water cup, and her voice was very soft, so light that only Ji Xinyao could hear it: "Some things have passed for more than 20 years, and in the past 20 years, even if you can't let go of the things you can no longer let go, you have been relieved." Whether Xiu Li resented or accepted the Gu family, whether to stay or leave, was his own choice. After all, he is not a child, after all, it is the blood of the Gu family, since it is a matter of the previous generation, I will not be too cold to Xiu Li, since he once grew up with Xin Yao and you, he must also be a good child, you can rest assured, my mother will not disturb the old man's interest in family reunion. ”

"If Xiuli's attitude is too cold and hard in the future, I hope Mom, you don't take it to heart."

He Jiezhen laughed: "Good boy, Mom knows your kindness." ”

Xin Yao didn't say anything more, just looked at He Jiezhen and smiled calmly.

*

Because it was Chinese New Year's Eve, but because the old man was too old to stay up late, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was three hours earlier and started at 9 p.m.

On both sides of the smooth and bright long table, none of the people of the Gu family were left behind, all of them were all there, the old man seemed to have not been in such a good mood for a long time, he changed into a new dress at night, walked downstairs with a cane, and when he sat down, he looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table, and looked at everyone who was sitting, and he smiled almost from ear to ear.

He Jiezhen and Gu Yuanheng sat on the right hand side of the old man, Gu Yufei sat next to He Jiezhen, and then came down in a circle and sat in turn.

And Gu Nancy sat on Xin Yao's left, Xiu Li coincidentally sat on Xin Yao's right, looking at the old man's happy smile, Xin Yao also chuckled heartily.

"Xiuli." She suddenly turned her head and looked at Xiu Li, whose eyes were calm, but a little alienated and indifferent: "This is the first time since we have understood that so many relatives have spent Chinese New Year's Eve with us, isn't it?" ”

Ji Xiuli's cold pursed lips finally hooked slightly when he heard her words.

"Xin Yao, you and Xiu Li have been sisters and brothers for so many years, and they have suffered a lot outside, right?" The old man looked at them, his eyes were full of love: "In the future, the Gu family will be your home, and every year we will have a reunion dinner together on Chinese New Year's Eve, and we will never be hungry and cold again......"

Listening to the old man's tone, he should have sent someone to check their general experience over the years after learning about Xiu Li's life experience, Xin Yao paused, and felt Gu Nancy's warm big hand beside him gently hold him.

She turned her eyes and looked at him with a smile, seeing the pure distress and care in his eyes.

At this time, He Jiezhen said: "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, if Xin Yao hadn't suffered so much, how could he have such a strong and distressing temperament now?" ”

"Yes, yes, Xiu Li is the same, the young one is also successful in his career." The old man nodded, very pleased.

Gu Yuanheng sat next to the old man, didn't speak much, just looked at Xiu Li, his eyes couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry or what, as if he was thinking about something.

At this time, Gu Nancy and Xiuli sandwiched the dishes for Xin Yao at the same time, everyone at the table looked at them a few times, Gu Nancy held the chopsticks and paused slightly, glanced at Ji Xiuli quietly, and then put the dishes in Xin Yao's bowl. Xiu Li also looked at him, also silent, and after putting the dish in her bowl, he quietly withdrew his chopsticks.

"That's right~" Wen Qing, who was sitting there, suddenly smiled and said: "I heard that Sister Xin Yao, you and Xiuli's sister and brother have always had a good relationship, so have you all lived together all these years?" ”

As if a casual question, it suddenly made the joyful atmosphere on the table freeze, and the old man listened, and the hand that had just picked up the chopsticks stopped.

"If it's a brother and sister, they live together every day, so they must sleep together a lot, right? If it's a real brother and sister, it's not strange, but if you're not related by blood......" Wen Qing blinked, smiling very curiously and innocently.

Ji Xinyao looked at her lightly, and Ji Xiuli glanced at her expressionlessly.

And the first to go crazy was Gu Yufei, who had been silent for more than two days.

Yufei put down her chopsticks with a "bang", she was a lot haggard because of what happened two days ago, and she was alone in the room for the past two days, she didn't come out much, and she didn't say anything, but at this time, she looked at Wen Qing with a cold face: "Have a good New Year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, where do you get so much nonsense?" It's so hidden that you have nothing to do all day long? ”

Wen Qing froze for a moment, immediately looked at Yufei, but whispered disapprerovitically: "I don't mean anything else, it's just that this lonely man and widow are not sisters and brothers, in case there is any ambiguity, accidentally like Sister Yufei, you have a big belly before you get married...... It's hard to say about that......"

Yufei immediately twisted his eyebrows, and before he could speak, the old man suddenly said: "Xiaoqing, grandpa is in a good mood today, you don't say more, don't make me unhappy." ”

As soon as he heard the old man speak, Yu Fei endured it, but obviously lost his appetite, and didn't pick up the chopsticks again after putting them down.

Wen Qing bit her lip, she didn't expect that the old man, who had always been used to her, didn't tolerate her at all this time, but directly taught herself a lesson in front of everyone, and the expression that was very proud just now was much more restrained after a while, but she lowered her head unwillingly and poked the bowl in front of her with chopsticks, and whispered: "What I said is the truth......

"Xiaoqing!" He Jiezhen also frowned on the side and reprimanded her in a low voice.

Wen Qing bit her lip hard, held her breath, and stopped talking.

Ji Xinyao's explanation that had just reached her lips was not said after all, but she sat there calmly and looked at her while everyone was scolding Wen Qing.
