Chapter 183: Xia Tingyin
The gate of Cheng's house opened, and a row of cars drove in.
Mr. Cheng stopped in front of the main hall, the car door opened, and Mrs. Cheng walked down.
Cheng Jin and Cheng Si were waiting at the door.
She was well-dressed with her hair coiled, but she had a stern look that made it impossible to make eye contact with her.
"Where?"
"The old man is in the bedroom."
She headed for the second floor.
Cheng Chengsi glanced at each other and followed.
The bedroom door was pushed open, and with a "bang-" sound, Mrs. Cheng rushed in and saw Mr. Cheng lying on the bed.
"You're good, you're going to go with your legs stretched, right?"
Old Man Cheng opened his eyes, his eyes were cloudy, and his whole body seemed to be drained.
"The adopted son didn't teach anyone, so he just let it go?" Mrs. Cheng's tone was stern, not at all stranger who she hadn't seen for a long time, she stared at Old Man Cheng fiercely, "If it weren't for you, those women raised outside gave birth to so many things, and he would have married that woman a long time ago, and there would be nothing left." Did I tell you to leave your son's business alone? β
Old Man Cheng raised his hand, Cheng Si hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, Old Man Cheng said, "Don't be an afterthought." Can you blame me for this, that Gu Xi, who knows that he is still a resurrection of a corpse. No one believed it. He's obsessed. β
"I don't care if he's obsessed!" Mrs. Cheng's momentum has not diminished in the slightest, "Now that my only son is gone, what will you pay me?" For the sake of those wild women outside, you got my son to be gone now! β
Old Man Cheng said angrily, "Mi Yao's incident was an accident, and besides, she didn't do anything, she used to take care of herself and socialize people outside." It's no wonder that others are going to grab the handle. β
"Who told you about the contraceptive ring? Did you see it online, or did someone sue you? You don't go online all day, who would dare to sue you for that? β
Old Man Cheng's mouth moved.
Mrs. Cheng said, "Don't fool me with outsiders!" The Mi family sues you, and you let her make waves. β
Old Man Cheng said angrily, "Didn't you also raise one for him, fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter, and you laughed out." If you raise your son with peace of mind, why don't you run away when he is old? Have you raised him for a day? β
Cheng Si and Cheng Jin silently retreated and closed the door.
Cheng Si said, "MAC has already taken her to surgery, Gu Nian there, Qi Ye's money, Gu Nian took the initiative to return it." Miss Gu's other properties and companies were left to Gu Nian. β
"Tell her clearly, her sister came back after plastic surgery, so don't trust people casually."
Cheng Si said, "That's someone else's business, we can't take care of it." It's that you don't have to be sad. β
"I know, those masters all said that my brother should have died two years ago......" Cheng Jin raised his hand to wipe away his tears.
Cheng Si said, "When digging Qi Ye at that time, everyone felt that something was wrong, and you also said, how could it be dug out, such a high soil, the pressure on the chest cavity was enough to crush people to death." He put his hand on Cheng Jin's shoulder, "Maybe he can get these two more years, it's really because of Gu Xi." β
As soon as the door opened, Mrs. Cheng strode out.
Say to them, "He faints." β
There is one more inconspicuous piece of news on the Internet.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, a car accident occurred in the early morning of Dijing City, a young man rushed off the bridge, the bridge railing broke through the car glass, he was stuck in the car and died. His father was shocked to hear the bad news and died a few days later.
Cheng Chengsi took over the Cheng family.

Gu Xi picked up a lamp, white frosted, she said, "This is fine, I want two, help me match the bulb." β
"I'll give you a try first." The shopkeeper took it.
"Bought it so quickly, don't look at it anymore." The crouching man stood up.
Gu Xi picked up the lantern next to him, "Xiaodong, what time is it today?" β
"December 12."
"Isn't there an event on Double 12?" Gu Xi asked the shopkeeper?
"What is Double 12?" The shopkeeper asked her rhetorically.
Gu Xi thought about it, Double 12 will only be available in a few years, she said, "No, it just means to find a way to make people spend money." β
"Having a boyfriend, of course, is a boyfriend who spends money." The shopkeeper said as he looked at the boy on the ground.
Gu Xi laughed, "We are neighbors. β
Su Xiaodong also stood up with a smile.
The boss even said sorry, "It's white and clean, it's a good match, it's a good match." β
Su Xiaodong went to the side to look at the lights.
Gu Xi looked at him through the glass, and suddenly found that she really had a lot of advantages now, like, she knew this Su Xiaodong, and later met a particularly crazy girl, who would pull him to see the world for a while, and pull him to do business for a while, tossing for a few years, tossing Su Xiaodong and his mother's belongings, and then the girl went abroad with other men.
Later, after he moved away, Su Xiaodong hid and didn't dare to meet, and before Gu Xi opened the water plant, he faintly heard people say it. He later drove and crushed people to death.
More and more point back.
Gu Xi handed the lantern in his hand to the boss, "This is also wrapped, it's almost Christmas." β
The boss said, "I don't have anything to do here, it's a little more expensive, but it's better, do you want to see it?" β
"Okay."
The boss bent down under the drawer and said, "Yo, why didn't you see me." Waitβ" he picked up the phone on his desk and asked, "where's that box of lamps under meβwhat are you doing with it?" β
The boss hung up the phone and said to Gu Xi apologetically, "My daughter-in-law doesn't know how to take the house, or you come tomorrow, those are better than this, you see how good-looking you look, you have to use something good." β
Gu Xi smiled and said, "That's good, but I can't come tomorrow, the house is still being renovated, if I'm not mistaken, I'm going to get the bedroom tomorrow, and I'll get it again." β
"Okay, okay!" The boss handed the two lamps and the bulb to Su Xiaodong.
The two of them came out of it, and Gu Xi bought two more vases. This lamp market belongs to the comprehensive, as well as handicrafts.
She walked to the staircase and saw several glass houses in the distance with decorative paintings.
"Let's take a look." She said.
Su Xiaodong changed the lamp, "You still like to paint?" Why didn't you find it before? β
Gu Xi said, "Well, I just like it." β
These hobbies can be contagious, she has been to this lighting market many times before, and she has never seen it.
Su Xiaodong asked, "This kind of thing costs money, have you made up the money for decoration?" β
Gu Xi stopped, thought for two seconds, and remembered that she was indeed a little tight on money at this time, and this house was an off-plan house she bought before returning to China, so she lived in it and installed it slowly after she came back.
The decoration is all in sections, not that she has no money, but that the money is saved regularly, and she has divided several deposit receipts, and she can only take one a month.
She laughed, her old self was really interesting.
She said, "Don't worry. I'm not afraid of losing that little bit of interest now, after all, time is money. β
Su Xiaodong followed and looked at her strangely.
Gu Xi's eyes had moved to the painting, the red, purple, large gorgeous peonies, vulgar colors, but the painting was lively. In the other picture, the lotus flower is shallow, and the reflection is reflected in the water...... She took a step, and a small bird rested on a reed, but with a wheat stalk in its beak. The little black eyes are cynical.
"Poof," she laughed, "this style makes me sound like a person." β
"Remembering whom?" There are multiple accostings next to it.
Gu Xi turned around and said, "I'm also an artistβ" Her words were stuck, and she looked at the man in front of her who was wearing a handicap dress, not very old, with a round face, and holding a purple clay pot prop in his hand to show off his temperament.
Fang ...... Fang Bichun! Gu Xi looked him up and down.
The young Fang Bichun looked happy, "You know me?" β
Gu Xi said sincerely, "I've seen your work. β
"Really?" Fang Bichun didn't have the style of later generations at all, and was very surprised, "Did you see it here, or did someone else do it there?" β
Gu Xi took a look at this poor place, this kind of rented mansion, there are all kinds of businesses. If she wants to say that she saw it outside, it would be too fake. She said, "I've seen it here, I've come to see it before." β
Fang Bichun raised his hand and touched the top of his head, "Really?" Then why am I not impressed, how can such a beautiful girl not be impressed. β
Gu Xi looked at him with a complicated mood, she didn't know each other, it turned out that Fang Bichun had also been to Pingcheng before, she asked softly, "Do you still draw cats?" β
Fang Bichun said, "Paint." He stepped aside, "So you've really been here, this ...... It's all cats over here. β
Gu Xi walked over and saw through the top of the window above that there was heavy snow outside.
In an instant, her heart felt like snow.
The world has changed, and even Fang Bichun has changed......
The more she turned, the cooler her heart became, all lying down, sitting, playing, normal cats.
Until the last one is turned, a cat is standing with a bowl of rice in his hand
She thought of her and Cheng Qi's home, the cat that Fang Bichun was forced to hang on, and tears welled up in her eyes.
In the future, he will also be discovered by Cheng Qi and hold a position that others can't imagine.
Now, he is just as down-and-out as he is.
Tears fell and fell to the ground.
If she befriends Fang Bichun from today onwards, and wait a few years, maybe she will be able to see him, right?
But what about it......
Like today and Fang Bichun, only he has memories.
She closed her eyes and squeezed back the tears.
Then she would rather never see Cheng Qi again for the rest of her life, rather than see the strange gaze in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Fang Bichun next to him was stunned, and the bright tears fell on the concrete floor.
Gu Xi let go of the picture frame and said, "It's nothing, I like this cat too much, I'm happy to look at it." β
"Really?!" Fang Bichun seemed to have met a confidant, "No one appreciates you don't know." He pulled out the painting, "Look at how creative it is, with a golden rice bowl, and a man who looks like a dog." β
Gu Xi smiled and nodded, tears fell again, and she said, "Can you sign for me?" On that painting, I wanted this one. β
Fang Bichun looked at her for a while, there was no surprise in his eyes, and there was no inexplicability.
"There's a signature on it, and it's on the cat's rice bowl." He said it was slow to wrap it in brown paper.
Gu Xi pointed to the bird next to him, "I want this wheat stalk bird too." β
Fang Bichun glanced at her and lifted the bird over.
He said, "One is big, the other is small, you just give eight hundred." β
Gu Xi's wallet almost fell to the ground, "How much?" β
Fang Bichun's hand for the rope stopped, and explained, "Actually, I asked for eight hundred for a pair, and two of them took money from you for a pair, and the small one was a gift, you look at you, and those who like it are crying." I really didn't want much from you. β
Gu Xi hurriedly shook his head, "No...... That's not what it means. β
She ordered the money, embarrassed to give it to Fang Bichun directly, and put it on the table, "You order." He asked reluctantly, "How many of you have sold in a week?" β
Fang Bichun said, "Not necessarily, sometimes one or two, what sells two a day." β
Gu Xi said, "Then no one appreciates you, do you want to open an art exhibition and run it?" β
Fang Bichun put the money in the drawer and didn't point it, "Then there have to be nobles, some people don't have it all their lives." You can come over what you like in the future, I have a lot of friends, you have any works you like, antique calligraphy and paintings. β
Gu Xi nodded and said a little bitterly, "It will definitely be." Then he said, "You will definitely find someone who appreciates you in the future." β
"I'm sorry for you." Fang Bichun wanted to give her the painting, but when she saw it, she couldn't take it.
The male laborer next to him had a lamp in his hand.
Gu Xi will also save trouble, and said, "Why don't you help me put it first, and I will come to get the lamp in two days, and then take it away together." β
"Okay, no problem." Fang Bichun took out a pen and aimed at the brown paper, "What's your last name?" β
"Gu." Gu Xi said, "My name is Gu Xi. β
Fang Bichun put down his pen in a dashing manner, drew a Gu Xi, and sketched a round face with a few strokes next to him.
Then he looked back at the female guest who admired him, only to find that the female guest was gone.
******
"Miss Gu, you have a wooden bed, am I leaning against the living room, or am I throwing it away?"
Gu Xi chased after him and said, "Don't throw that one, that's an old thing in our family, I'm sleeping." β
Workers put the bed board against the wall.
Gu Xi is renovated in sections, and only the bedroom remains.
She put a towel behind the bed, afraid of scratching her freshly painted wall.
After a while, the workers in the back came, and she propped up the bed in the living room, which was a one-bedroom apartment for her.
Her bedroom couldn't sleep for a while, and the sheets had just been laid.
"Su-Small-East," someone downstairs called.
Gu Xi walked to the window and looked down, a spirit.
A girl with long "instant noodle" hair.
She knew this girl, it was this girl who introduced Su Xiaodong and met the girlfriend later.
Gu Xi leaned against the window, tangled.
It stands to reason that this is someone else's business, and whatever object you meet is your own choice.
But Su Xiaodong didn't have a father, so her mother brought him up, and he was so unlucky later, all because he started talking about the wrong object.
Below, Su Xiaodong had already opened the window and chatted with the following. Gu Xi listened to a few words very motherly, and asked Su Xiaodong to eat hot pot tomorrow night.
"Winter...... Of course, it is best to eat hot pot. must want Su Xiaodong to pay. Gu Xi thought.
"Miss Gu, can you take a look at this color?" Workers shouted in the bedroom. Gu Xi hurriedly ran in.
*******
Gu Xi stood next to the van and watched Fang Bichun put the painting into it.
Su Xiaodong next to him was secretly looking at his watch.
Gu Xidang didn't see it.
The owner of the lamp shop also brought her the lamp, and she also bought a fake Christmas tree and two boxes of decorations. Anyway, there is a car, and it is loaded at one time.
At this time, she has only returned to China and has not yet worked.
The door of the van closed, and she said goodbye to Fang Bichun.
Su Xiaodong drove.
He got into the car and said to Gu Xi, "Is there anything else you want to buy?" β
Gu Xi looked at the time in front of her, and at 5:20, she said, "It's time to eat, let's eat." β
Su Xiaodong stumbled, and he didn't agree.
Gu Xi said, "It's such a cold day, why don't you go back and eat, your mother said, she made sour soup noodles at home yesterday." I think it's pretty good, there is a lot of MSG outside, and it's not clean. β
Su Xiaodong said, "Then I'll send you back, and by the way, let my mother give you something to eat." β
Gu Xi looked through the front glass and looked at the ice on the road in the distance, "What about you?" β
Su Xiaodong said, "I...... There is something to do in the evening. By the way, can you lend me this car? β
"Nope." Gu Xi said.
Su Xiaodong looked at her sideways, as if she didn't understand, how could she say such heartless words with a straight face.
Gu Xi said, "When was the last time you went out to dinner with your mother?" β
"What's wrong?" Su Xiaodong's tone was a little impatient.
Gu Xi said, "Your mother told me yesterday that you asked her for a thousand yuan and were going to have a treat today. β
Su Xiaodong stopped talking.
Gu Xi continued, "Your mother is reluctant to go to the restaurant and eat sour noodle soup at home, do you know how long your mother can spend a thousand yuan?" β
"I know." Su Xiaodong said casually.
Gu Xi stopped talking, she said too much, if it wasn't for Su Xiaodong's mother asking her yesterday, she wouldn't have said this. Su Xiaodong is only 22 this year, and young boys of this age are afraid of losing face in front of girls.
Of course, she's not a girl, so she feels like she can say a few words about him.
A thousand dollars, to pay for a girl she doesn't know, she thinks it's a problem.
Have the ability to take your own money.
"Or ...... I'll take you with me. Su Xiaodong said.
Gu Xi thought, he probably felt that he was too troublesome, "Well, then let's go." She said.
Wait, she'll let him know he's more troublesome.
The two drove to the hotel.
At the corner of the hall, there was an eight-person table, and there were already five girls, each young and beautiful. Gu Xi knew what was going on as soon as he saw the situation, the relationship was really a gathering of girlfriends, looking for someone to pay.
One girl said, "Xiaodong, who is this?" Why didn't you hear you say that you were going to bring someone here? β
Before Su Xiaodong could speak, Gu Xi said, "I'm his girlfriend, I'll pay my share later." β
All the people were silent.
Su Xiaodong is stupid, Gu Xi is so beautiful, they have been "childhood sweethearts" for too many years, he doesn't dare to think about chasing Gu Xi.
The girls glanced at each other with disdainful expressions.
"Instant noodles" was immediately unhappy, "It was Xiaodong who asked us to come to dinner, I didn't know that this meal was AA, and we never AA." β
She said to Su Xiaodong coquettishly, "You didn't say that you have a girlfriend, I haven't heard you say it so many times, I originally wanted to introduce a girlfriend to you." β
Su Xiaodong was hesitant, he didn't know what to say at all, and he didn't know if his mother had asked Gu Xi for something. Gusitt is precocious, and people are also liked by neighbors, she said that it was his girlfriend, and he knew in his heart that it was fake, so he didn't dare to refute it.
The girl pushed him, "What's the matter with you, I've told them everything, how can you let me explain to them like this?" β
Su Xiaodong said, "I'm sorry. β
"I'm sorry, what's the use, I'll buy the order later, and I'll talk about how to punish you later."
Gu Xi didn't expect that she was cheeky and pretended to be her girlfriend, she could still be like this over there, she thought of Su Xiaodong's mother eating a bowl of sour noodle soup at home, and she was very sad, in this world, honest people have always suffered, honest girls will suffer, honest boys will also suffer, what is wrong with this society.
Bullying honest people is so at ease.
Gu Xi said, "My family lives upstairs in Xiaodong, and I heard you call him to eat hot pot before, why did he call you?" Since you ask him to eat, you should pay for it. I know if you don't want to buy it, okay, I said AA - you say you want to introduce a girlfriend to him, but if he has a girlfriend, he will offend you, or he will have to pay for it. Gu Xi's face was going to turn red, for such a little money. But thinking of the future, she said, "I don't understand why he has to pay for you." β
"Because of what?" "Instant noodles" leaned on Su Xiaodong with a smile, "Because he has always bought it." Are you angry? β
Gu Xi smiled angrily, "I didn't say that to you just now. She looked at Su Xiaodong, "Do you understand?" β
Su Xiaodong's face was ashamed, he said so much on the road, and now that he was like this, he knew when he thought about it that it must be his mother and Gu Xi who complained. He was a little strange, Gu Xi didn't care about this kind of nosy before.
He pushed the girl away and reached out to pull Gu Xi, "Let's go." β
Gu Xi took the bag and stood up, thinking that this kid was not stupid.
"Poor!" "Instant noodles" scoffed, "You don't have to call us in the future." After saying that, she also stood up, "Let's go, change places to eat." β
walked faster than Gu Xi and Su Xiaodong.
Gu Xi whispered, "It's okay, just get rid of these bad friends, don't let your mother worry in the future." β
Su Xiaodong nodded.
When I walked to the door, I saw where the five girls were still standing, and another one in a red coat had just arrived.
As soon as Gu Xi and the others came out, "Instant noodles" said to Su Xiaodong, "Su Xiaodong, you can come and see clearly, this is the girlfriend I originally wanted to introduce to you, let your girlfriend with a small belly and chicken intestines see if I lied to you." She pointed, "Look at the Honda in the back, it's a beautiful car, if we hadn't tested you for so long and felt that you were honest, we wouldn't have introduced it to you." β
Su Xiaodong looked at the girl.
This hot pot restaurant is on the street, and there is a whole road in front of the door.
There were cars parked on both sides, although I didn't know which Honda she was talking about, but Gu Xi was angry this time, this trick was too vicious, obviously in order to covet other people's cheapness, and now it has become a test.
What's more, that girl, isn't that the scourge in the future? It turned out to be packaged as Bai Fumei.
She pulled Su Xiaodong and whispered, "Don't listen to them, that girl drives a Honda, you can't afford it, think about how much money she has to spend a month to maintain a car, a girl with a really good family background will not always calculate to let a man have a treat." β
Su Xiaodong tilted his head and said, "I know." I just didn't expect that I had known each other for two or three years. β
Gu Xi showed a happy expression and said, "It's sour and spicy inside, it's really fragrant, they're leaving, why don't we go in and eat." I invite you. β
Su Xiaodong raised his hand on her shoulder and whispered, "Let's walk like this more like a couple, thank you today, I'll invite you for my mother." β
Gu Xi looked at him sideways and smiled,
Before the smile was raised, a super strong light shone on her face, so that she couldn't open her eyes when she received the light from the side, and she and Su Xiaodong looked at the place of the light source at the same time.
It was the two cars parked in front of the gate, and the first two were lit up at this time.
She couldn't see what the car was, but judging from the height, it was a sports car, but the light was too strong and rude, and she couldn't open her eyes when she was suddenly illuminated. After getting used to it for a while, there were other shops on both sides, all of which were lit up, and at this time those neons turned into dots.
Orange red, yellow, strips of light and shadow, pull out a dazzling feeling.
There was a "buzz-" sound, and the sound of the engine erupted from the car on the right.
The long street was quiet, only the car, ready to go, as if it was about to run over at any moment. There are a few beautiful girls next to them who are also confused.
The co-pilot's door opened, and a man got out of the car, dressed in an overcoat and standing on the collar.
When Gu Xi saw the figure, her head "rumbled" for a while, and then her hands and feet were not her own, and her brain was not her own.
I could only watch as the man got closer and closer, and walked up to him.
There is a familiar look in the strange, because he is young and more refined, he almost wants to find the dazzling of the crack drill when he sees it, not to mention that he still looks at himself.
"Do you know me?" He looked at Gu Xi and asked.
Gu Xi's mind was completely confused, "...... No, I don't know. β
He asked again, "Do you say that again?" β
ββ¦β¦ I don't know. Gu Xi didn't even think about it.
He raised his hand and pulled the hand away from her shoulder, "I'll be back so late for a while, and you've provoked another one?" Don't sue me, this is your current boyfriend. β
Gu Xi's tears came out, as if she knew that it was not a dream, how could she not know it, even if it was how long and how far through the river of time, she could recognize him at a glance.
She never wanted to admit that the first time she saw him, she couldn't love him anymore.
She threw herself into his arms, put her arms around his neck, and cried bitterly, "What the hell have you done, why are you here?" β
