She hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Last night, a guest went to our place for dinner, and I heard that someone in the Gu family was selling Gu's shares. ”

Gu Shi'an's face immediately changed, and selling shares was a big deal. How can you sell your shares for no reason and without hearing any rumors?

Her mind was a little confused. Originally, she was about to immediately ask Chang Yan who was selling, but just as she was about to speak, her body stiffened.

She quickly came back to her senses, and immediately hurried towards the entrance, squeezing out a smile as she went, and said, "I'll go out for a while." ”

She was afraid that Chang Yan would be worried, and said, "It's okay, I'll be back in a while." ”

This time, without waiting for Chang Yan to speak again, she hurriedly closed the door and went downstairs.

Gu Shi'an's mind is still confused, and the shares of the Gu family have been equally distributed to the children and grandchildren of the Gu family in addition to her and her father since her grandfather passed away.

She can now think of people who sell shares. It's only Gu Qian.

She remembered what he said in Chen Xiao's office that day, and Gu Shi'an took out his mobile phone to call Chen Xiao while going downstairs.

She now wants to confirm whether it was Gu Qian who sold the shares.

In fact, she already knows the answer.

Gu Shi'an's heart was cold, he had clearly promised, for his grandmother's sake, he would not ......

She didn't dare to imagine that if her grandmother knew that she was still Gu Qian, she would sell her shares to eat, drink and have fun, and she didn't even dare to imagine how angry she would be.

Chen Xiao's phone was not answered for a long time. When Gu Shi'an was about to hang up and redial, the phone was finally answered.

Chen Xiao's side was noisy, probably socializing. Gu Shi'an's brain had calmed down after the cold wind blew. After a pause, he asked, "Where are you now?" I want to meet you. ”

Chen Xiao was lazy on the phone, and he didn't ask her anything, and said where he was.

Gu Shi'an hung up the phone and immediately stepped forward to stop the car, and then told the driver where he was going.

Probably because of the New Year, there are many more pedestrians on the road on both sides than usual, and red lanterns have been hung at the entrance of the mall, and there is a joyful atmosphere to welcome the New Year.

Gu Shi'an looked out for a while, then closed his eyes.

There were so many thoughts in her head, and she restrained herself from thinking about anything.

There was a traffic jam on the road, and it was forty minutes later when I got to where Chen Xiao was. She got out of the car and called Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao probably guessed the time she arrived, but this time he quickly picked up the phone and asked her to go to the seventh floor of the hotel.

When Gu Shi'an went upstairs, Chen Xiao had just come out of the private room, the upstairs was secluded, and there was no one to go to, he glanced at Gu Shi'an and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

His tone was very light.

Gu Shi'an looked up at him and said, "Is Gu Qian selling the shares he has?" ”

Chen Xiao glanced at her and said, "You came here to ask about this?" ”

His tone was an understatement, and this matter was probably not a matter in his eyes.

He wasn't surprised. Gu Shi'an has been completely sure that the person who sold the shares is Gu Qian. She took a half step back, took a deep breath, and said, "You promise, this matter will not alarm grandma." ”

Now that the shares have been sold, the old lady will definitely know about this. It's just a matter of time.

Chen Xiao was a little impatient and said, "Are you alarmed now?" After he finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Shi'an again, and said coldly: "Since you don't believe me, why are you coming to me for what?" ”

Gu Shi'an was speechless for a while.

Chen Xiao originally turned around immediately and was about to leave, but after taking two steps, he still stopped. glanced back at Gu Shi'an, and asked with a slight sneer: "You really don't know anything about the Gu family?" ”

There was something playful in his tone.

Gu Shi'an didn't know what he meant, and looked up at him.

Before Chen Xiao could say anything, the door of the private room not far away opened. Someone came out of it and called Mr. Chen.

Chen Xiao didn't speak anymore and walked over.

His entertainment was not over yet, and Gu Shi'an originally thought that he was going back. Who knew that he just spoke a few words to the man and then fell back. glanced at Gu Shi'an and said, "What are you still doing?" ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the elevator.

Gu Shi'an hesitated for a moment, and wanted to ask him if he didn't have to go back, but he still didn't ask, and followed him into the elevator.

Chen Xiao lit a cigarette and smoked it when he entered the elevator, Gu Shi'an didn't understand what he meant by the phrase 'Gu family's business'. After a pause, he asked, "What did you mean by what you just said?" ”

Chen Xiao glanced at her obliquely and said, "You really don't know? ”

He asked knowingly, but Gu Shi'an did not answer.

Chen Xiao slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at Gu Shi'an, and said, "Grandma Gu holds a small half of the Gu family's shares in her hands, don't you know?" ”

Gu Shi'an's father was expelled from the Gu family when he married her mother, and he no longer has any inheritance rights. So she didn't care about the shares. But the old lady has a stake in her hand, and this is normal.

Hearing this, she looked at Chen Xiao and didn't understand what he meant.

Chen Xiao didn't have an appetite for her, dusted off the cigarette ash in his hand, and continued: "Gu's shares. Except for the old lady, the shares in the hands of your uncle, the second and third uncles are all about the same. He paused slightly, looked at Gu Shi'an, and said, "They are all saying that the shares in your grandmother's hands are going to be handed over to the real person in charge of the Gu family." It's not about sharing it equally in the form of an inheritance. ”

These Gu Shi'an have also never heard of it. Her mind was a mess, and she looked at Chen Xiao and asked, "Where did you hear about this?" ”

Chen Xiao stepped out of the elevator, glanced back at her, and said, "Where did you hear that it matters?" ”

Gu Shi'an was silent now.

Chen Xiao didn't continue on this topic, and continued lightly: "So, you don't have to worry about this matter being stabbed in front of Grandma Gu." Now, it should be your second uncle and your second aunt who are in a hurry. ”

There was a hint of sarcasm on his lips. With that, he walked to his car, pulled the door and got into the car.

Gu Shi'an's mind was confused, and he didn't understand what his words meant for a while.

Chen Xiao got into the car, but he had no intention of driving. As if guessing that Gu Shi'an didn't understand, he snorted, pointed to his head, and said, "Move this, it's not an ornament." Since there are rumors that the shares in your grandmother's hands will be handed over to the real person in charge, whether this is the case or not, the old lady's attitude is not clear now, and it is impossible for your second uncle and second aunt to take this risk and stab this matter in front of the old lady. Not only will they not poke it out, but they have to find a way to hide it so that your uncle and third uncle don't know. The old lady can't keep this share, do you think the old lady can still hand it over to them? ”

Yes, once this matter is stabbed in front of the old lady. The old lady was so angry that it was impossible to hand over the shares in her hand to them.

And her second uncle's family, who have stayed in the old mansion all these years, made a dedicated appearance to take care of the old lady, in order to be the things behind the old lady.

Of all the things behind the old lady, the most important thing is naturally the shares in her hand.

Chen Xiao said so clearly, where did Gu Shi'an not understand. She said relieved, but she was a little dazed.

Chen Xiao glanced out through the windshield in front of him, spat out the smoke in his mouth, and said, "Oh, it's out." ”

Gu Shi'an followed his line of sight and hurriedly walked over from the elevator. It's not her second uncle and second aunt.

Both of them were dressed formally, arguing about something as they walked. Probably because things were not discussed, the faces of both of them were not good-looking. Her second uncle must have drunk a lot of wine, and when he got closer, he could even hear his scolding voice.

Her second aunt has not come out to socialize for many years, and as Chen Xiao said, the two of them are the most anxious.

Gu Shi'an came in a hurry all the way, and only then did he really breathe a sigh of relief. As long as she doesn't make trouble in front of the old lady, it has nothing to do with her.

Her second uncle and aunt quickly got in the car and left, and the parking lot fell silent.

She was looking for something to say, but she couldn't find anything to say. She rashly came over to find Chen Xiao, as Chen Xiao said, she didn't believe him in the end.

In the past, he must have brushed his sleeves away, and he didn't know where he got the patience today, so he even analyzed them to her one by one.

Gu Shi'an couldn't wait for himself to never come to the future at the moment, and in the end he still said, "I'm sorry." ”

Chen Xiao glanced at her, didn't say anything about it, and asked, "Go back to the old house?" ”

He was like this, obviously trying to send Gu Shi'an back.

Gu Shi'an was uncomfortable and asked, "...... your entertainment over there?"

He left halfway through, and he didn't know if the matter was over.

The corners of Chen Xiao's lips hooked, and he said lazily: "Nothing is more important than my daughter-in-law, isn't it?" ”

He is not serious, Gu Shi'an will not be silent now.

Chen Xiao quickly started the car. When he drove out of the parking lot, he looked at Gu Shi'an with some amusement and asked, "Where did you learn about Gu Qian's sale of shares?" ”

Gu Shi'an's body stiffened now. Yes, he just said that her second aunt's family is trying their best to hide this matter. This shows that there should be very few people who know about this. Chang Yan said that she talked about it when she listened to the guests chatting, which was too coincidental.

She couldn't tell Chen Xiao that she was listening to Chang Yan, so she said vaguely: "I heard a few words when I went out." ”

Chen Xiao didn't know whether to believe it or not, he glanced at her, but he didn't ask any further.

For a while, neither of them spoke, and Gu Shi'an's heart was pretending to be something, and he didn't speak. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Chang Yan knew too much of a coincidence.

Gu Shi'an's mind was chaotic, and the chance of such a coincidence was small. But it's not impossible.

She tried her best to calm herself down and not let Chen Xiao see anything unusual.

Not long after the car drove away, Chen Xiao's mobile phone rang, and the caller ID was Luo Ying. He glanced at it, then switched to Bluetooth and picked it up.

Luo Ying on the other end of the phone didn't know what to say, he hummed a few times, said that he knew and hung up the phone. Throwing the Bluetooth aside, he said lightly: "They will all pass the New Year." ”

Gu Shi'an didn't react for a while, and after a while, he realized that he was referring to Chen Zhengkang's family.

It turned out that he listened to her words that day.

But Chen Zhengkang's family has passed, and Qi Shiyun doesn't know how he will explain. It's embarrassing for such a 'family' to spend the New Year together.

Gu Shi'an nodded silently. said: "I'll go over to help during the holidays." ”

Chen Xiao was noncommittal, paused, and then said, "Grandma doesn't know yet. ”

Gu Shi'an nodded again, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Did they pass on the day of the New Year?" ”

Chen Xiao glanced at her and said, "You think I went to invite her?" There was a bit of mockery on his face, and he said, "Do you think you need me to invite it?" ”

Yes, where is the need for him to please. Chen Zhengkang has been looking forward to returning to his old house. As long as he casually sends out a message, he will come back himself. Chinese New Year, it's normal to come back and do your filial piety.

Gu Shi'an stopped talking now. On Qi Shiyun's side, Gu Shi'an was afraid of making a fuss, she hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Mother-in-law's ......?"

Over the years, Qi Shiyun and Chen Zhengkang have been cold and indifferent. I've had enough trouble, and I haven't made much of it.

But if Chen Zhengkang comes back with that woman. You don't have to think about it to know that it will definitely not be peaceful.

Chen Xiao was irritable and did not speak again.

Only then did Gu Shi'an know that he had made this decision, and Qi Shiyun didn't know. She couldn't help at all in this matter, and she didn't speak again.

Because of the mention of Chen Zhengkang, no one spoke again in the following time. The car stopped outside the community, and before Gu Shi'an closed the door and could speak, Chen Xiao had already started the car and left.

This year is destined to be unpeaceful, Gu Shi'an stood silently outside for a while, and then walked into the community.

She went upstairs. Before he could take out the key to open the door, the door opened from the inside.

Gu Shi'an was a little surprised, glanced at Chang Yan who opened the door, and asked, "How do you know that I'm back?" ”

Chang Yan smiled and said, "I saw it on the balcony just now." ”

She probably knew that Gu Shi'an hadn't eaten yet, so she said, "I'll go to hot rice, wash my hands, and eat when I come out." ”

Gu Shi'an was still eating in the old mansion in the afternoon, and she felt hungry after she said that. She complied and walked briskly to wash her hands.

When she came out, Chang Yan had already served the meal, probably seeing that Gu Shi'an's face was as usual and undoubted, she didn't ask anything.

Gu Shi'an actually wanted to ask her where she got the news from, but after all, she didn't ask anything.

Chang Ming'er had to go out, and after eating, he washed and packed the cooked knives one by one, washed and went to sleep.

Gu Shi'an came out of the shower and lay on the bed, but he couldn't sleep. The room was extremely quiet, and Gu Shi'an suddenly remembered what Chen Xiao said, the shares in the old lady's hands should be left to the real Gu family in charge.

Her heart seemed to be grabbed tightly by someone, and she couldn't breathe for a while. An irrepressible thought popped up in my head.

For so long, she hadn't figured out the motives of those people who wanted to kill her father. Chen Xiao's words undoubtedly gave her a reminder.

Although her father and mother got married and broke off the relationship with the Gu family, the old lady has always been proud of her father. To this day, I still mention it from time to time, mentioning his life and his wisdom and wisdom.

Gu Shi'an's fingers clenched unconsciously, and his eyes closed. My thoughts slowly cleared up in the dark night.

After the death of her mother, in order to give her better care. When my father returned to his old house, Gu's vitality was greatly damaged because of the substandard launch of new products. I don't know how the old lady talked to her father at that time, and my father went back to work at that time.

She was too young to remember if her uncles objected.

But if the father's car accident was man-made, then. He recalled that his work was the fuse.

Grandma values her father, and the shares in her hands are rumored to be left to the future ruler of the Gu family. Then, if someone wants her father to die, it is so natural.

She had never figured out why someone would harm her father, but now all of this seemed to have a reasonable explanation.

Gu Shi'an's fingers were clenched tightly, and the pain entered every tiny nerve, and she could only hold back from making a sound by clenching her teeth.

There was silence in the darkness without a sound, and Gu Shi'an stiffened his body for a long time, until the pain was numb, and his fingers were released little by little.

I don't know when tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, and the corners of her back had lost a piece, and she closed her eyes motionlessly.

I don't know when the snowflakes fell outside, and Gu Shi'an's body was cold. There was a faint ache in the cold.

She just lay there. I don't know how long she lay down, and her head seemed to explode, so she got up and went to take the medicine.

She couldn't sleep, so she took a bottle of whiskey from the wine cabinet and brought it back to her bedroom.

The wine was hot in her throat, and she leaned against the door until she was dizzy and collapsed on the bed.

When Gu Shi'an got up the next day, it was already snow-white outside, and there were already children in the yard who had a holiday and had nowhere to vent their energy and had snowball fights. I don't know if it's because of the alcohol, but her head still hurts. She found medicine, poured water, and drank it, and then went to wash.

She originally thought that Chang Yin would only go out in the afternoon, but when she saw that the shoes at the entrance were missing, she knew that she had already left.

Gu Shi'an stood in the living room for a moment before changing his clothes and going to work.

She had a lot of things to do during this time, and when she arrived at the company, she learned that she had an early holiday this year. The company's year-end party is tonight.

In the past, I had to wait until the 28th of the lunar month, and I don't know how this year it was advanced by two days.

When Gu Shi'an went to ask, he learned that Mr. Qu had spoken, saying that some employees were out of town, and it was not easy to buy air tickets and tickets. That's just the time it was mentioned.

Although it is an early holiday, if you need to deal with it in these two days, you have to deal with it, but you don't have to come to the company again.

Gu Shi'an didn't care about this, what should be done or what should still be done.

Later, when Xiao Wang came back from outside, he asked Gu Shi'an with a mysterious face: "Sister Gu, do you know why you have an early holiday this year?" ”

Gu Shi'an knew that she had gossip again as soon as she looked like this, and her headache still cooperated, but she still asked cooperatively, "Why?" ”

Xiao Wang looked outside and said, "Because Luo Yun and those sycophants under her have promised, saying that as long as they work hard, they will be able to have an early holiday this year." The people on their side have already booked their tickets for tomorrow. ”

It is naturally happy to be able to take an early holiday, but she is disdainful of Luo Yun. After speaking, he sighed twice and said, "It seems that the wind on the pillow is really not to be underestimated." ”

Gu Shi'an didn't believe that Luo Yun could persuade Mr. Qu to take a holiday early, so he looked at Xiao Wang and asked, "How do you know that they have booked tomorrow's tickets early?" ”

Xiao Wang rolled his eyes. said: "People show off." How else would I know? After she finished speaking, she gloated and laughed, and said: "Luo Da Beauty was out of the limelight at the last dinner, and I don't know if I will be able to be in the limelight tonight." ”

At the year-end party, Mrs. Qu and her children would come over in previous years. As long as they come, there will be no place for Luo Yun. She's going to have to be gray.

Gu Shi'an remembered what Peng Xue said that someone would clean up Luo Yun, she was too high-profile to do this, even if Mrs. Qu wouldn't know about it for the time being, she would definitely know it in a short time.

Or, did she just do it on purpose?

Luo Yun's thoughts, Gu Shi'an, naturally didn't know. She didn't delve into it, if there really was a day when Luo Yun would be worthy of Mr. Qu, it would be a big deal to resign and leave at that time.

The year-end party is the same as in previous years, and it is set at the Zhihe Hotel. Almost all of the company's colleagues have passed together.

Gu Shi'an originally thought that their company would have an early holiday, and it was not as lively as in previous years. But no, when I got off the bus, I learned that in addition to their company, there were two other companies that also held a year-end party in the hotel.

Xiao Wang was looking forward to Mrs. Qu coming, and as soon as he entered the hotel, he searched everywhere for Mrs. Qu. She didn't see Mr. Qu's wife, but she saw Li Ran.

The limelight last time was stolen too thoroughly, and as soon as she saw Li Ran, she whispered: "Why is she also here?" This is an in-house gathering. ”

Li Ran is not dressed up like last time, a professional attire. Capable and charming.

Gu Shi'an also didn't know why she was here, and when he heard Xiao Wang's complaint, he said lightly: "Even when Mr. Qu is on vacation, he can do the master, and it's not easy to bring someone over?" ”

Xiao Wang was a little stupid, and hummed and said, "See how long she can be proud!" ”

Gu Shi'an didn't want to say hello to Li Ran pretendiously, so he went inside with Xiao Wang before she came over.

The most exciting thing about the year-end party is the year-end bonus. This year is an exception, except for Luo Yun's small circle of people, most of the people in the company have been looking forward to Mrs. Qu coming over since they entered the hotel. I hope to watch a good show on the last day of this year-end holiday.
