Chapter Thirty-Three: The Enigmatic Family
Seeing that the embarrassment was slightly relieved, Gu Qingshan coughed twice, and then opened his mouth to order, "Come with me to the study." Gu Shuning reluctantly got up, and before leaving, he glanced at Xie Xiaoyan who was drinking tea on the sofa. Gu's mother chuckled, "Why, I'm afraid that my evil mother-in-law won't be able to eat your daughter-in-law." ”
Hearing Lu Suhong's assurance, Gu Shuning followed Gu Qingshan upstairs with confidence.
At this time, seeing that her son was not there, the smile in Lu Suhong's eyes gradually disappeared, and she sat in the corner of the sofa elegantly, her eyes drifted to Xie Xiaoyan, but there was something unkind.
"What does your family do?"
Xie Xiaoyan's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, she didn't even ask her name, and went straight to the point?
"My parents used to be teachers."
"Oh, a scholarly family." Lu Suhong muttered, but her words changed sharply, "But, before, what did you mean?" ”
Xie Xiaoyan bit her lip, her eyelashes drooping slightly, "My mother died, Dad, in prison." Out of respect for her elders, Xie Xiaoyan really couldn't tell any other lies.
"Are you an orphan?" Lu Suhong's tone has become lighter and lighter, as if she has lost interest in chatting with Xie Xiaoyan.
Xie Xiaoyan didn't speak, orphan, sort of it, she gently put down the teacup in her hand and sat upright, it seems that this Mrs. Gu doesn't like herself very much.
Lu Suhong looked at the little girl's suddenly solemn face and sitting precariously, and smiled in her heart, did she think that this would change her impression? Sure enough, it's a simple tightening, and it's also like that person.
den
"Gu Shuning, tell me, are you serious, or is it just because of the previous incident?" Gu Qingshan sat on the chair, leaning on the back of the chair, looking tired, this son is too worry-free.
"Does that make a difference? I need a wife, you need a daughter-in-law, that's all. ”
"Different! How can you say such a thing! You're doing a curse on other girls, you know! Gu Qingshan got up from the chair and pointed at Gu Shuning, the muscles on his face tensed with anger.
"Scourge girl? How can I have the experience of your second elder, but I clearly remember how Si Lin died! Gu Shuning's voice rose a few degrees, and he looked straight back at Gu Qingshan opposite, without fear. In the past, he needed him Gu Shuning to look up, but now, heh, is he still the high-spirited Gu Qingshan? No, he is already a head taller than him, and he can condescend and look at this man he once hated deeply like a king, even though they are father and son connected by blood!
"You! Gu Shuning, let's do it for yourself. Gu Qingshan closed his eyes in despair and sat down in his chair, what qualifications did he have to accuse him and interfere in his life, wasn't the lesson from the past tragic enough......
"Well, remember to come to my wedding next month." Gu Shuning's voice lowered, and for some reason, looking at Gu Qingshan, who suddenly softened, he felt a little inexplicably lost. In the past, he used the man in front of him as an example everywhere, and his lifelong dream was to be able to catch up with him and surpass him, but when the day really came, he found that there was no satisfaction with the slightest victory, more sadness and helplessness. He turned around, wanting to deliberately ignore the more and more silver hair on Gu Qingshan's sideburns, stiffened for two seconds, he pushed the door and left, leaving Gu Qingshan alone on the desk, not knowing what to think......
When Gu Shuning came downstairs, Lu Suhong replied with a smile on her face, and there was even a little flattery in that smile.
"How's it going with Daddy?" Lu Suhong asked.
"He agreed, and next month, we'll get married." Gu Shuning's words were soft, but he had a power that could not be ignored, he didn't look at Xie Xiaoyan, let alone Lu Suhong, but his eyes were empty and his eyes were unfocused, as if he was announcing his marriage to a cloud of air.
"Well, congratulations."
Lu Suhong's congratulations made Xie Xiaoyan feel a little ironic, such words really don't match her identity as a mother-in-law, congratulations? It turned out that it was only them who were happy, and she and her husband were probably not happy to see this wedding.
"Thank you." Gu Shuning's words were even more polite and detached, a word of thanks, as if he was grateful to someone who had nothing to do with it.
Xie Xiaoyan suddenly panicked at this big family full of mysteries that she couldn't see through, can she really become Gu Shuning's bride?
The two walked out of the Gu house, but they were speechless for a while. After a long time, Gu Shuning broke the silence.
"Xiaoyan, if my mother says something that shouldn't be said, I apologize to you."
Xie Xiaoyan smiled self-deprecatingly, what did she say to her? It's just to lay things out and tell her that she is just an orphan, and he is a high prince.
Seeing that Xie Xiaoyan didn't answer, Gu Shuning suddenly snorted coldly, he knew that for all the women he brought home, she would always be a high-ranking queen, and they, whether it was Si Lin in the past or Xie Xiaoyan today, in her eyes, were as light as ants.
Thinking of this, Gu Shuning put his big palm on her soft little hand, "Xiaoyan, Dad has agreed, as for Mom, you don't have to care, she has always been obedient to Dad." All you need to do is prepare for your wedding with peace of mind and wait for next month. ”
"I ......" Xie Xiaoyan just wanted to argue, but when she saw Gu Shuning's eyes, she softened again. Didn't they all foresee the worst outcome, not to mention that today, they still agreed, what reason did they have to shirk the wedding they were also looking forward to. Xie Xiaoyan suddenly smiled, the past has passed, what's the point of thinking so much, it's good to grasp the present and Gu Shuning. So, she nodded obediently and said lightly: "Okay." ”
Seeing that Xie Xiaoyan's mood was improving, Gu Shuning kissed her forehead, started the car, and the car melted into the moonlight and drove towards Xie Xiaoyan's house.

Since he was left in the hospital by Fu Xinian last time, Song Wenbei has always gritted his teeth with hatred for that stingy man. Stay away from his phone calls. But today, just after walking out of school, Song Wenbei saw a Lamborghini leaning in front of the school. Complaining that the passing of the year was unfavorable, Song Wenbei hid behind several female colleagues, tiptoeing to leave, but obviously, the owner of the car did not think so.
"Song Wenbei!" Fu Xinian opened the car door and leaned against the headlights of the car and called her name. Song Wenbei was stunned, but continued to walk forward as if he hadn't heard it. Fu Xinian took a few steps and grabbed back this awkward little woman in one step. Song Wenbei had no choice but to wave his hand to let a group of gossip old women who were watching the excitement disperse, and he sat in the passenger seat and rolled his eyes.
"Hey, young master, what are you doing with me again?" Song Wenbei sighed, rubbed the corners of his forehead, and his face was full of impatience. He has a little green plum, what are you doing to provoke yourself?
"Mom and Dad asked me to take you home for dinner." Fu Xinian turned the steering wheel with one hand, and pressed the CD on the car with the other, and the melodious piano melody floated out.
