Wen Minxuan didn't see Gu Xue in the living room, so he went to the courtyard outside. After going around in a circle, I finally found the person, and the other party was sitting under the pergola with Xie Wanru and the other two wives.

Seeing Gu Xue and Xie Wanru together, Wen Minxuan couldn't help frowning, he knew very well what his aunt was, even if Gu Xue didn't say it, he also knew that Xie Wanru must have bullied Xiaoxue in private.

But this person is her elder after all, as long as she doesn't go too far, Wen Minxuan will turn a blind eye and act as if nothing happened.

However, today's style of painting is a bit wrong.

Xie Wanru's face was very stinky, as if she was sulking, when she saw Wen Minxuan coming, she didn't take the initiative to say hello, Gu Xue on the side was in a different situation, she leaned back against the carved wooden chair, leisurely sipping tea, and raised her head from time to time to admire the anchovy orchid in the flower garden opposite, looking very good.

Wen Minxuan felt that the atmosphere was weird, but he didn't have time to think about it, and after greeting a few people, he said with a smile: "The luncheon is about to start, grandpa asked me to invite you to the table." ”

After speaking, he spread out his palms and put his hand in front of Gu Xue very gentlemanly. Gu Xue stretched out her right hand and helped it weakly, this time it was really "empty", before the palms of the two of them were next to each other, she had already stood up, and then quickly withdrew her hand.

Wen Minxuan habitually gathered his fingers, wanting to hold the other party's hand, but he shook it empty, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.

Gu Xue raised the corners of her lips and showed a social smile, which made people feel that she was polite at the same time, but she also felt a little alienated, and she said lightly: "I went to the bathroom and was unaccompanied." ”

Then, he left on his own.

Seeing that there was no drama to watch, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Li also got up and entered the house, and under the pergola, only Xie Wanru and Wen Minxuan, the two aunts and nephews with their own hearts, were left.

Wen Minxuan put his hands in his pockets and leaned quietly on the edge of the wooden table, not knowing what he was thinking, Xie Wanru paced to his side, and opened his mouth seemingly casually: "Xiaoxue seems to be different from before." What do you think? ”

Wen Minxuan turned his head, his narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Xie Wanru sighed lightly, slowly lowered his eyelids, and seemed to be a little sad, "Actually...... Xiaoxue has amnesia, and she doesn't remember anything from the past. I wasn't going to say it, but then I thought about it, since she's your fiancée, she shouldn't have been hiding it from you. ”

Wen Minxuan chuckled in his heart, and suddenly felt a little confused, "How do you know?" ”

"I asked a friend in the hospital to inquire, the Gu family's confidentiality work is really good, and my friend took a lot of effort to find out about Gu Xue's condition."

In fact, during Gu Xue's hospitalization, Xie Wanru had already learned about it, and she didn't say it before because she had her own little abacus.

After a period of contact, Xie Wanru found that Gu Xue was simple by nature and honest, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like a woman who could assist her husband in fighting for the family property, so Xie Wanru gradually dispelled her previous concerns.

Xie Wanru thought, even if this girl really marries into the Wen family, it is estimated that she will not be able to make any moths, besides, she has amnesia now, and if she wants to deal with her, isn't it as easy as pinching an ant to death?

Instead of letting Wen Minxuan marry a shrewd and capable woman with ruthless means, it is better to let him marry Gu Xue, a stupid girl, even if this marriage will not make him break his wings, it will never add luster to his future.

However, just a moment ago, Xie Wanru changed her mind, because she suddenly realized that a car accident did not knock Gu Xue stupid, but made the other party shrewd, such a nephew and daughter-in-law was not what she was happy to see, so she decided to make a stumbling block.

Xie Wanru glanced at the faces of the people around him, and said indignantly: "The Gu family is really true, they didn't even mention anything about such a big thing. Could it be that they want to hide it from us and marry their amnesiac daughter into the Wen family? Isn't this cheating on marriage? Minxuan, Auntie really feels worthless for you, you are so good to Xiaoxue, but she has forgotten about you. ”

Wen Minxuan had recovered from the initial shock and regained his usual peace, "Are you kidding me?" Where does Xiaoxue look like she has amnesia? ”

"What? You don't believe it? Xie Wanru raised her eyebrows, "Why don't we try her together?" ”

I have to admit that Gu Xue doesn't look like she has amnesia, but what does this prove? It just shows that Yu Zhilan teaches well, and Gu Xue pretends to be like. However, there are some things that can't be pretended, for example, when Gu Xue first saw Xie Wanru, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. This instantaneous reaction is the most real.

Therefore, Xie Wanru was very sure that Gu Xue really had amnesia.

"Auntie, if you are free, you should pay more attention to your uncle and Ziyang, and you won't have to worry about Xiaoxue's affairs with me."

Wen Minxuan unceremoniously rejected the other party's "kindness". Although he also wanted to find out whether Gu Xue had amnesia, it was between him and his fiancée after all, and it was not Xie Wanru's turn to comment and talk nonsense there.

Xie Wanru's face was a little unbearable, her face was red and white for a while, and it was ugly, but her face was not thin, and when she said this, she still licked her face and said, "I'm also doing this for your good." The most important thing between husband and wife is to be honest, you and Xiaoxue are not married, she has already hidden something from you, if this knot is not untied, how will you live for the rest of your life? Sooner or later, this matter must be figured out, and the sooner you know, it is better to be mentally prepared. Min Xuan, if it's inconvenient for you to come forward, your aunt can help you. ”

Wen Minxuan was silent for a moment, and after combing the whole thing again, his attitude seemed to loosen up a little, "Auntie, if you want to test Xiaoxue, I won't stop you, but please don't get involved with me, I don't want to get involved." ”

******

In the living room of the Wen family, the guests were full of friends and laughter. A dozen or so round tables were arranged in several circles, and servants walked between them, and plates of delicious dishes were served one after another.

The Wen family's cooks are all hired at great expense, and their cooking skills are no less than those of the chefs of star-rated hotels, and the dishes they cook are also exquisite and delicious, with good color, flavor, and flavor. The food is in hand, the wine is in hand, and the guests are naturally very happy.

Halfway through the feast, the guests stepped forward to toast Mr. Wen, Wen Tingshu was in a good mood, smiling and clinking glasses with the visitors one by one, only a moment later, he was already drunk and blushing.

"Dad, I wish you good health and a long life." Xie Wanru also stood up with a cup.

Wen Tingshu touched the glass with her as usual, and then drank the wine in the cup, but Xie Wanru just took a sip and put down the wine glass, "Dad, why didn't you invite the band to help the fun today?" ”

"Originally, I was going to invite it, but my grandfather said that the band was too noisy, so I didn't invite it later." Wen Ziyang sat next to Wen Tingshu, and after listening to his mother's words, he couldn't help but interject.

Xie Wanru seemed to be very satisfied with this answer, nodded approvingly, and then looked at Wen Tingshu again, "Dad, if you think the band is too noisy, you can also let them play alone, if you can have a piano piece or violin music now, how good would it be?" ”

Speaking of this, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she thought of something, "Hey, by the way, I remember, Xiaoxue's piano plays very well." ”

Gu Xue was eating shark fin soup, and as soon as the white porcelain spoon reached into the porcelain cup, she heard someone mention her name, her eyelashes moved, and she glanced at Xie Wanru secretly, and then quickly lowered her eyelids, pretending not to hear.

However, where is Xie Wanru willing to stop there?

She cleared her throat, and shouted at Gu Xue, who was within half a meter, at a volume that could be heard within a radius of ten meters: "Xiaoxue, you can play a song for everyone, just as it is to celebrate the birthday of your grandfather Wen." ”

When she shouted, the living room instantly became quiet, and the people who were still chatting also shut up and looked at the main table one by one.

Gu Xue saw that she couldn't dodge, so she had to put down the spoon, she slowly raised her head, her slender eyelashes fluttered a few times, and there was a trace of panic in her beautiful eyes.

In the Republic of China, she had never touched the piano at all, and in modern times, she finally had the opportunity to touch it, but it was just touching, she didn't know anything about music theory, even if the piano was in front of her, she couldn't play a complete tune.

Why did Xie Wanru let her play the piano, did the other party notice something? So, deliberately trying to make her ugly in public?

Gu Xue was still thinking, but Yu Zhilan couldn't sit still, she was obviously more anxious than Gu Xue, and she stumbled when she spoke, "Xiaoxue...... Xiaoxue hasn't played the piano for a long time, and she's already rusty......"

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Xie Wanru, "Mrs. Gu, you are too modest, who doesn't know that your daughter plays the piano well?" Even if you haven't played for a long time, the basic skills are still there. Dad, you said yes, right? ”

In the middle of speaking, Xie Wanru suddenly stopped and asked Old Man Wen's opinion.

Wen Tingshu was already drunk, and he couldn't figure out the twists and turns at all, so he just casually echoed: "Xiaoxue, you can play a song, I haven't heard you play the piano for a long time." ”

The old man had spoken, Xie Wanru was even more confident, she got up from the chair and shouted at the maid not far away: "Sister-in-law Hong, hurry up and get the piano ready, Miss Gu will play it later." ”

A middle-aged maid listened to the words and immediately walked towards the piano in the corner, she was quick with her hands and feet, and quickly set up the piano bench, opened the lid, and made a qiē preparation.

Yu Zhilan and Gu Zhiwei were sweating in a hurry, their eyes were wide and small, and they couldn't think of any way for a while, so they could only do it there in a hurry.

Although Gu Xue's face was calm, her heart was in a mess, she was a little sick and rushed to the doctor, and she actually cast a look of help to Wen Minxuan beside her.

Wen Minxuan turned his head slightly, just met Gu Xue's gaze, and the moment his eyes met, he clearly saw the helplessness and uneasiness in the other party's eyes, however, he pretended not to see anything, and turned his face away as if nothing happened.

Gu Xue opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but before the words came out, she felt a tightness on her shoulders, Xie Wanru stood behind her at some point, and grabbed her shoulder, "Xiaoxue, it's all ready, you can start." ”

Xie Wanru's voice was very gentle, but the force in his hand was very strong, and he couldn't help but drag Gu Xue up from the chair, and then pushed her all the way in the direction of the piano.

Gu Xue felt that her steps were light and fluttering, and she was almost dragged to the piano by someone. Before she could stand firmly, she was pushed to the piano bench again, and then, Xie Wanru's voice sounded in her ears again, "Xiaoxue, you have to behave well." ”

After saying this, Xie Wanru turned around and left, leaving only a series of clattering footsteps, which made people more and more annoyed when they heard it, Gu Xue seemed to feel that those footsteps were coming towards her, trampling her whole person to pieces, and her heart was like numbness.

The fingers slowly stroked the black and white keys, but she didn't dare to press them down, Gu Xue's forehead gradually oozed beads of sweat, and her heart was beating wildly.

She really regretted dying, why did she follow Xie Wanru over? What now? If you pretend to faint, won't it be too fake?

She was thinking nonsense, but the silver bracelet on her wrist suddenly flashed, the silver-white light flashed, short but extremely dazzling, Gu Xue was stunned, looking at the bracelet a little incredulously, but in the next second, her gaze was completely frozen......

About a minute later, the melodious sound of the piano sounded in the Wen family's living room, and Chopin's "Nocturne in C minor" was soft and tactful, like a clear spring flowing in the quiet air.

The surroundings were very quiet, none of the guests spoke, all of them silently looked at the girl in front of the piano, at this moment, Gu Xue became the focus of the audience, her smile, her hand raised and her head bowed, all under the gaze of others, however, Gu Xue did not have the slightest panic, she was skillful in fingering, her expression was calm, and she was immersed in the melody she played.

After playing the song, she stood up and bowed slightly.

When the applause suddenly rang out, Gu Xue had already walked back to the table, she smiled at a few elders, and then pulled out a chair and sat down.

There were ten people sitting at a table, each with a different expression.

Wen Tingshu bent a pair of smiling eyes, and his expression was as kind as ever. Gu Zhiwei and Yu Zhilan were completely stunned, looking at Gu Xue in a daze, almost speechless. Wen Minxuan has not changed much, and he still has that gentle and elegant appearance.

Xie Wanru's face was a little ugly, she stared at Gu Xue viciously, her eyes seemed to be quenched with poison, if her eyes could kill, it was estimated that Gu Xue would have died by this time.

Xie Wanru couldn't figure it out, what went wrong? Gu Xue obviously has amnesia, and besides, Cheng Dù is not light, and she almost can't remember the past, but why can she still play the piano so well?

Could it be that I made a mistake? The other party actually has no amnesia at all?

The more Xie Wanru thought about it, the more depressed she became, she originally wanted to calculate others, but she didn't succeed in stealing chickens and rice, not only did she fail to make Gu Xue ugly, but she made herself lose face in front of her nephew.

Xie Wanru glanced at Wen Minxuan with a weak heart, however, Wen Minxuan's attention was all focused on Gu Xue at the moment, "Xiaoxue, you played very well." ”

"Thank you." Gu Xue smiled lightly, and then lowered her eyelids, normally, she always deliberately avoided too much contact with Wen Minxuan, and even eye contact was avoidable.

But her shallow smile and lowered her eyes, in Wen Minxuan's opinion, she was extremely shy and cute.

******

After lunch, the Wen family held a tea tasting party in the courtyard. Between the tea parties, Gu Xue found an excuse to sneak out, and then secretly ran to the study upstairs.

Wen Tingshu drank high at noon, so he didn't drink tea with everyone, but hid in the study alone, and when he saw Gu Xue suddenly running over, he was slightly surprised, "Xiaoxue, why didn't you go to the yard to drink tea?" ”

Gu Xue walked to the desk and slowly lowered her eyes, "Grandpa Wen, I want to talk to you." ”

"Sit down." Wen Tingshu pointed to the rattan chair on the side and motioned for the other party to sit down and talk.

Gu Xue pulled the rattan chair and sat opposite Wen Tingshu, but after sitting down, she didn't speak for a long time.

Although Wen Tingshu always looks kind, those who are familiar with him know that this is actually a majestic old man, he doesn't talk much, but his words are very heavy, enough to have the effect of four or two thousand catties. Every time Gu Xue saw him, she would repeatedly consider the wording.

After thinking for a while, Gu Xue finally spoke, "Grandpa Wen, I don't think I and Wen Minxuan are very compatible, and it would be too hasty to get engaged now." ”

"Xiaoxue, what's wrong? Did you quarrel with Minxuan? Or, what did Min Xuan do wrong? A hint of surprise flashed in Wen Tingshu's eyes, but his tone was still peaceful.

"There was no quarrel, he ...... He didn't do anything wrong. ”

Gu Xue lowered her head and stirred her fingers helplessly. Yes, Wen Minxuan didn't do anything wrong, not only did he do nothing wrong, but he also did a good job, in the eyes of outsiders, he is a good man, a good boyfriend, a good fiancé, and he will be a good husband in the future, only Gu Xue understands that he is a hypocrite who is inconsistent with what he looks out and what he says, but who will believe it if there is no evidence?

"He's fine, but ...... We don't fit. Gu Xue reluctantly found a reason that could be called a reason.

Wen Tingshu raised his eyebrows and asked with some puzzlement: "More than two months ago, I talked to you, and you said at the time that you like Min Xuan very much and are willing to get engaged to him, why do you feel inappropriate now?" ”

Gu Xue suddenly felt a little pain in her face, Wen Tingshu's words were simply slapping her in the face. She felt very wronged, and she really wanted to shout: The person who likes Wen Minxuan is not me, and I am no longer the Miss Gu family I used to be.

But reason told her that she couldn't do this, and if she did, others would think she was crazy.

Gu Xue thought for a moment and replied cautiously, "Grandpa Wen, the situation is different now than it was then......

"Is it because your family has recently suffered a change, so you don't think you are worthy of Minxuan?"

Wen Tingshu came out coldly, and Gu Xue was really stunned, she didn't expect that Old Man Wen would think about it, and quickly explained: "No, Grandpa Wen, I don't like Wen Minxuan anymore, if you are reluctant to be together, ......"

However, Wen Tingshu didn't believe that a well-behaved and innocent girl like Gu Xue would change her mind so quickly, he still thought that it was because something happened to the Gu family that Xiaoxue felt inferior, so he said so.

Wen Tingshu didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and directly interrupted her, "Don't worry, our Wen family is not a snob, and Min Xuan, like me, won't mind your family's affairs." Xiaoxue, I have always hoped that you could be the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Wen family, do you know why? ”

Gu Xue shook her head stunned, and Wen Tingshu continued: "Because you are kind, sensible, and sincere, what Min Xuan needs is a virtuous help like you." When you get married, we will be a family, and when the time comes, I will find a way to help Yueheng Pictures tide over the difficulties. ”

Gu Xue actually felt a little speechless, she originally thought that if Wen Tingshu did not agree to withdraw from the marriage, she would simply sprinkle it to see if the other party dared to ask for a granddaughter-in-law like her, however, hearing Wen Tingshu praise herself so much, even if Gu Xue had the heart to splash, she couldn't pull her face.

After all, Gu Xue is no longer a god, her current identity is Miss Gu Family, although she is not a genuine product, she should not ruin the image of Miss Gu Family in front of Old Man Wen.

While groaning, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house, Gu Xue turned around and saw Wen Minxuan pushing the door and walking in.

"Xiaoxue, so you're here?" Wen Minxuan said as he paced to the desk.

Gu Xue glanced up at him, "Looking for me?" ”

"Aunt Yu is a little worried about seeing that you haven't gone back for so long, so let me come out to find you."

Wen Minxuan smiled and turned to look at Wen Tingshu, "Grandpa, what are you talking about?" ”

"Nothing, just talk about it." Wen Tingshu replied perfunctorily, but his eyes always looked at Gu Xue, "Xiaoxue, you go down with Min Xuan first, your mother should be in a hurry." Remember what I just said, don't worry, don't burden yourself, if anything, everyone will help you. ”

Gu Xue nodded helplessly, and then followed Wen Minxuan downstairs.

******

After the tea party, it was almost time for the dinner to begin, and the venue of the dinner was still in the Wen family's living room, but the scale was grander than the luncheon, and the dishes were more sumptuous.

During the banquet, Gu Xue was invited up again and played a song. With the noon experience, Gu Xue is already familiar with it, her hands are like light butterflies, flying up and down flexibly along the keys, and beautiful melodies flow out of her fingers, tugging at the heartstrings of every listener.

Her superb piano skills, coupled with her elegant manners, won a full applause, and she was a little limelight.

At half past eight o'clock in the evening, the feast finally dispersed. The guests walked out of the Wen family mansion one after another. Gu Zhiwei also said goodbye to the Wen family and took his wife and daughter to sit in his Mercedes-Benz.

As soon as the car door closed, Yu Zhilan couldn't wait to take Gu Xue's hand, "Xiaoxue, have you remembered everything?" ”

Her voice trembled, but there was a smile in her eyes, this sentence had been holding in her heart for a whole afternoon, and at this moment, when she finally asked the words, she was a little apprehensive.

Gu Xue nodded slightly, "Well, I remembered." ”

Yu Zhilan's eyes were a little moist, she excitedly hugged Gu Xue into her arms, stroked her daughter's long hair, and muttered to her husband: "Zhiwei, Xiaoxue, she remembered it, it's great, it's really good." ”

Gu Zhiwei responded in a low voice, there was no reaction on his face, but he was also happy in his heart, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, since Xiaoxue remembered it, then there should be no more problems with her marriage with Min Xuan, and now, she can wait with peace of mind to be the husband and grandson of the Wen family.

Gu Xue hugged Yu Zhilan, but her eyes looked at the bracelet on her wrist, today, she could be regarded as seeing the magic of this bracelet.

When she sat in front of the piano, when the bracelet glowed, the memories of Miss Gu flashed in her mind, and the past was like a movie frame, quickly passing through her mind.

In just one minute, she seemed to have re-experienced the life of the original owner of the body for more than 20 years, and at that moment, the memory of Miss Gu and Gu Shenzhu's own memory were perfectly integrated.

When she stroked the keys again, Gu Xue almost judged the two of them, facing the pure white piano in front of her, she was no longer afraid, a long-lost sense of intimacy arose spontaneously in her heart, she unconsciously waved her fingers and played the favorite song of Miss Gu's family.

After experiencing this qiē, Gu Xue not only had the memory of the original owner, but she also realized a more important thing: her crossing was most likely related to the silver bracelet on her wrist.

If this assumption is true, she will have to take good care of this bracelet in the future, because since the bracelet can allow her to cross, it will definitely take her back to the Republic of China.
