Chapter 173: Handheld
His tone was casual, without the slightest hint of shame. Hearing the mobile phone in the living room vibrate again, he walked over directly.
It was simply shameless to the extreme, Gu Shi'an gritted his teeth secretly, didn't stay in the living room for long, and went back to the bedroom.
The weekend came soon, and Chen Xiao didn't seem to have hired a part-time worker, so she naturally had to clean it when she lived here. I got up early and started cleaning.
Chen Xiao also rested, and Gu Shi'an tried his best to be light-hearted, but it didn't take long for him to get up.
Seeing Gu Shi'an cleaning, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and quickly went back to the room to change his clothes. Helped mop the ground.
In the past, he had always been impatient to do these things, and he had always called for part-time workers. I don't know why I'm suddenly willing to do it.
Gu Shi'an didn't say a word and let him do it.
The house is not big, and it won't take long for the two of them to clean it together. Gu Shi'an planned to go to Chang Yan's side, washed his hands, and said to Chen Xiao: "I want to go out, and I will solve the breakfast by myself." ”
She got up early, and it was only eight o'clock. There are breakfast sellers outside.
Chen Xiao looked at her and didn't speak.
Gu Shi'an was a little puzzled that he was like this, he was originally going back to the room to change clothes, but now he looked at him and asked, "What?" ”
Chen Xiao didn't answer her words, and asked, "Where are you going, I'll be with you." ”
"I'm going to the store, what are you going to do?" Gu Shi'an asked suspiciously.
"I just didn't eat breakfast, I went to eat breakfast." After Chen Xiao said this, he went back to the room directly.
When Gu Shi'an came out after changing his clothes, he also changed his clothes and stood in the living room. Seeing Gu Shi'an, he picked up the car key and said, "Changed?" Let's go. ”
She didn't play in the past, and he was undoubtedly in the way with the past. Gu Shi'an looked at him and said, "There are a lot of breakfast sellers downstairs. ”
The corners of Chen Xiao's mouth hooked, and he suddenly approached Gu Shi'an, and said, "I'm willing to go over there to eat." After a slight pause, he continued: "Daughter-in-law, you are so afraid of me following, do you want to do something unseemly?" ”
He was still smiling.
Gu Shi'an was taken aback, and pretended to be calm and said, "Do you think I am you?" ”
She didn't care if Chen Xiao followed or not, she opened the door and went out.
Chen Xiao was in a good mood, and when he sat in the car, his fingers knocked on the steering wheel a few times, glanced sideways at Gu Shi'an and asked, "How is the recent income of your store?" ”
The monthly income is often calculated, but the store has just opened, and it was saved before, and some things were not bought, but now the business is okay, and if you have the money, you will buy those things that you haven't bought.
Gu Shi'an didn't know what he meant by asking, he glanced at him inexplicably and said, "It's okay." ”
Chen Xiao nodded at this time, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "You don't plan to open another store?" ”
Now the business of this store is good, but it is also smooth. But when it comes to opening another store, Gu Shi'an has never thought about it. Not only did she not think about it, but Chang Yan probably didn't think about it either.
She shook her head and said, "I didn't think about it." ”
Chen Xiao glanced at her again, and said casually: "Tell me when you want to open another store, and I will give you the investment money." Chef, I have it too. ”
I don't know why he talked about this inexplicably, Gu Shi'an looked at her suspiciously, and said, "Why don't you open it yourself when you have everything?" ”
Chen Xiao replied lazily, "Are you sure it's not overkill for me to do this kind of thing?" ”
Gu Shi'an couldn't find anything to answer for a while, so he simply shut up.
Chen Xiao said that he wanted to go to Chang Yan's side for breakfast, but Chang Yan didn't have breakfast there. There are a lot of things to do in the morning, and Gu Shi'an is not willing to trouble Chang Yin. In the middle of the way, Chen Xiao stopped the car and went to the side of the road to buy breakfast.
She simply bought buns and soy milk, Chen Xiao looked disgusted, but took the things over.
Chang Yan was a little surprised to see Gu Shi'an and Chen Xiao go over together, but he didn't say anything and invited Chen Xiao to sit down.
This morning, someone temporarily booked a few tables for lunch, and with the reservation, it was much busier than usual.
She didn't have time to greet Chen Xiao, so she asked Gu Shi'an to pour him tea. Chen Xiao couldn't help much here, it would only get in the way here, so he simply went upstairs to find a place to sit.
This was busy until more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and when the guests were almost gone, Chang Yan had time to ask Gu Shi'an: "What is Chen Xiao doing here?" ”
Although the ingredients were prepared in advance, she was still tired from being alone in the kitchen. Sweat broke out on her forehead.
Where did Gu Shi'an know what Chen Xiao was doing here, shook his head, and said, "I don't know." When he went out, he followed. ”
Chang Yan nodded at this time, motioned for Gu Shi'an to take the food out, and said, "I'll eat right away." ”
The store was busy, and everyone hadn't eaten lunch at this time, and he didn't give full play to his uncle's temper to serve people.
Lunch was eaten quickly, because everyone was busy and tired in the morning, Chang Yan asked Xiao Wu and another clerk to rest, and came back at five o'clock in the afternoon.
She and Gu Shi'an have something to discuss, but it is inappropriate to leave Chen Xiao alone. She politely asked Chen Xiao to go to the lounge to rest.
Chen Xiao didn't go either, and asked her to be busy with her business with a smile and leave him alone.
He didn't leave, he just sat in the lobby. It looks like it's going to look at the store.
Chang Yan also let her, under the pretext of cleaning up the private room above, and went up with Gu Shi'an.
The figures of the two quickly disappeared at the staircase, Chen Xiao looked up, and then lowered his head and flipped through the evening newspaper in front of him.
Because of Chen Xiao's presence, after entering the private room, Gu Shi'an immediately locked the door. Then he took out the topographic map he had drawn and handed it to Chang Yin.
Chang Yan has already been to the small building, and it is easy to get in. But what I am afraid of is that the more sudden the situation is, there is nowhere to hide.
She often goes to the small building these days and marks all the places where she can hide temporarily. If you encounter a sudden situation, you can avoid it a little.
Chang Yan has already been to Gu's, and it is easy to understand the map drawn by Gu Shi'an. This matter did not dare to take it lightly, and the two discussed in a low voice the various unexpected situations that might be encountered.
This discussion lasted for half an hour, and at the end, Chang Yan put away the drawing and said, "You don't have to worry about me in any situation." Believe me, the Gu family is not a Longtan tiger's den, I will find a way to get out myself. ”
Her tone was very casual, obviously not taking Gu Shi seriously.
Gu Shi'an couldn't do it at all, and just as he was about to speak, Chang Yan looked at her with a serious face and said, "Shi'an, you should believe me." ”
Although she is often reticent, she rarely takes it that seriously. Gu Shi'an was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded.
It had all been agreed, and Gu Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them didn't think of Chen Xiao just now, and when they went downstairs and saw Chen Xiao, they remembered that they had completely forgotten him just now.
Chang Yu excused himself to go to the kitchen to take a look, and went straight to the kitchen. After drying Chen Xiao for a while, Gu Shi'an was not good to follow him again, so he poured a glass of water and sat down opposite Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao was still flipping through the pages of the newspaper, and when he saw her sitting down, he glanced up at her, and said with a smile: "How big is the private room upstairs, and it took so long to clean up?" ”
The two of them had indeed stayed upstairs for a long time, and Gu Shi'an was somewhat weak-hearted, but he didn't show it at all on his face, and said, "Of course you have to clean up." ”
originally thought that Chen Xiao was going to say something, but he didn't, he just hooked his lips, said yes, lowered his head and continued to read the newspaper he had been reading for a long time.
He didn't ask anymore, Gu Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the cup and took a sip of water.
Before she could swallow this saliva, Chen Xiao looked up at her again, and said with a smile: "Staying for so long, aren't you discussing something?" ”
Gu Shi'an's water almost choked on his throat when he drank it. She swallowed the water with restraint and said without thinking, "Are you paranoid?" If you are sick, you have to see a doctor. ”
The corners of Chen Xiao's mouth hooked up a touch of evil energy, and he looked at the kitchen and saw the figure of Chang Yin, and said, "I'm sick, but it's not paranoia." Doctors can't cure it, only ...... You can cure. ”
His tone was very ambiguous, and he squeezed his eyes at Gu Shi'an as he spoke.
Without thinking about it, he knew that there were no good words in his words, Gu Shi'an ignored him anymore, got up and went to the kitchen.
Chen Xiao was extremely idle this day, and he stayed in the store until five o'clock without any intention of leaving.
I don't know what he's doing here, Gu Shi'an came back after helping for a while, and couldn't help but ask sullenly, "Are you idle today?" ”
Chen Xiao glanced up at her and said, "Have you forgotten that I told you that you are going back to the old mansion for dinner this weekend?" ”
Yes, he mentioned it. But Gu Shi'an always thought it was tomorrow. She was stunned for a moment.
Chen Xiao raised his wrist to look at the time, and continued: "Aunt Ye let the evening pass. ”
He sat in the shop for a day.
Gu Shi'an also took out his mobile phone to look at the time, took off the apron he was wearing, and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
Chen Xiao said at this time: "Aunt Ye is asking me to go over for dinner in the evening." ”
Gu Shi'an was a little depressed, and asked him to go over to eat in the evening, so he really rushed over to eat directly?
But she didn't say this, went to the kitchen to say hello to Chang Yan, and then came out and said to Chen Xiao: "Let's go." ”
Chen Xiao stopped sitting at this time, got up and left with her.
His patience is very good now, and he has sat like that for a long time without doing anything. It doesn't look like him at all.
Not long after the two got in the car, Ye Qing called and asked when the two would go back. Chen Xiao replied that he was already on the way.
Knowing that he was driving, Ye Qing didn't say anything more, and told him to drive slower, and then hung up the phone.
I hadn't seen Ye Qing for a while, and halfway through, Gu Shi'an asked Chen Xiao to stop the car and get out of the car to pick out a gift for Ye Qing.
When he arrived at the old mansion, Ye Qing was already waiting, and when he heard the sound of the car, he greeted him. The old lady was gone, and she was lonely in this huge old mansion.
When she saw the two of them, she smiled on her face, and when she saw that she brought a gift, she said angrily that she should not bring anything in the future, she lacked nothing here.
The meals were all cooked by herself, and she probably started preparing them early. A large table was prepared, and it was very rich.
After dinner, someone called, and Chen Xiao went upstairs to answer the phone. Gu Shi'an cleaned up the kitchen with Ye Qing.
Ye Qing was worried about the two of them, and it was not good to ask directly, so he asked in a roundabout way. Gu Shi'an didn't let her worry either, she said it was good to ask anything.
Since the old lady passed away, she has not seen Qi Shiyun again. After cleaning up and seeing the portrait of the old lady in the living room, she was in a trance for a moment. After a while, he asked, "Mom, has she ever been back?" ”
Ye Qing also looked at the portrait of the old lady, sighed softly, and said, "No." Some time ago, someone had already packed all her clothes here, and she shouldn't be coming back. ”
When the old lady was there, everyone was still maintaining it on the surface. After the old lady left, the family was directly dispersed.
Gu Shi'an didn't speak at this time. remembered what happened to Qi Shiyun and her little boyfriend, and still asked, "Then where does she live now?" ”
Ye Qing was slightly in a trance, and replied: "The old lady is not kind to her, and she has several properties under her name. You can stay anywhere. For a while, I heard that I lived in Qi's house, but then I didn't know how to move out. ”
Although the old lady is not kind to her, she has not been back to the old mansion for so long. It's chilling to think about.
The atmosphere became oppressive. Gu Shi'an did not speak again.
However, it didn't take long for Ye Qing to come back to his senses and look at Gu Shi'an, and his words were the same. Finally, he looked upstairs and saw that Chen Xiao didn't come, so he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did Chen Xiao tell you, his father, is going to come over to fight for this old mansion." ”
Where would Chen Xiao tell her these things, Gu Shi'an was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Didn't the old lady's will make it clear at the beginning?" ”
Why is it coming back now?
Ye Qing sighed and said, "The old lady's will has indeed made it clear, but he came back and said that this old mansion is the ancestral home of the Chen family. Although the old lady said that he would leave it to Chen Xiao, he still had the right to inherit. Not only him, but Chen Xun also has. ”
He came to fight for the old house, but he didn't mention anything about what the old lady left him.
This is Chen Zhengkang's style, Gu Shi'an was not surprised when he came back to his senses. "Does he come over often?" ”
Ye Qing shook his head and said, "No." I've only been here twice, and Chen Xiao hasn't been there. He left here after a long day of harsh words. Later, when he came back, Chen Xiao asked him not to open the door. I have changed the locks on the door of the house. ”
Yes, Chen Zhengkang has a key in his hand. Even if he doesn't open the door, he can come in if he wants to. Change the lock and it will be clean.
But this is not the solution, Gu Shi'an hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Chen Xiao, how to deal with it?" ”
Since Chen Zhengkang has already moved this mind, he will definitely not give up if he does not achieve his goal.
"No, he didn't say anything, just told me to leave it alone. Don't worry about anyone, just call him. Chen Xiao has always been very assertive, even if he thinks about how to deal with it, he won't tell her if he is afraid that she will be worried.
Gu Shi'an wanted to say something, but when he saw Chen Xiao coming down from upstairs, he didn't speak again.
Probably because he remembered the old lady when he came back, Chen Xiao's mood was not very good. After Ye Qing went to sleep, he had been standing in front of the old lady's portrait.
Gu Shi'an knew that he was uncomfortable, and he didn't go upstairs, so he accompanied him in the living room.
Chen Xiao stood for a long time, then turned back to the sofa and said to Gu Shi'an: "It's not early, go up and rest." ”
Knowing that the two of them were coming back, Ye Qing had already cleaned up the room.
Still the same as last time, Chen Xiao said that the guest room had been deserted for a long time, and asked Gu Shi'an to live in his bedroom.
Although he is busy, he still comes back from time to time. Just like when the old lady was there.
Gu Shi'an wanted to ask Chen Zhengkang about fighting for the old house, but seeing that Chen Xiao's face had no expression, he still didn't speak.
When she arrived at Chen Xiao's bedroom, she went to the bathroom to wash up, while Chen Xiao sat on the sofa and smoked.
When Gu Shi'an came out, he was in a trance, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
She paused slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Do you wash?" ”
Chen Xiao came back to his senses, raised his wrist to look at the time, and found that it was already more than ten o'clock, stood up, and said, "I'll go next door to wash." ”
He didn't stay long, opened the door and went out.
The old house was so quiet that no sound could be heard except for the occasional chirping of insects. After a day of helping in the store, he was tired, but Gu Shi'an didn't feel sleepy at all, so he just lay with his eyes open.
It wasn't until a long time later that she closed her eyes.
I don't know how long she slept, but she was woken up by a slight noise next to the bed. Before she could react in her mind, someone hugged her.
The person's body temperature is familiar, and you don't need to think about it to know that it is Chen Xiao. She was slightly stunned, and as soon as she moved, Chen Xiao hugged her tighter and said in a low voice: "Let me sleep here tonight, if grandma knows that we are not together, she will definitely be sad." I promise not to do anything. ”
His breath smelled of wine, and he didn't know how much he had drunk.
mentioned the old lady, Gu Shi'an didn't move anymore. Chen Xiao didn't make any other moves, her tense body slowly relaxed.
Chen Xiao's wine should have been a little too drunk, and he didn't speak again after saying that. It didn't take long for the sound of even breathing to be heard.
Gu Shi'an was woken up by him and couldn't sleep for a while, and after a long time, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When she woke up the next morning, Chen Xiao was still asleep, she got up lightly, then opened the bedroom door and walked out.
Today is still the same as usual, as if the old lady is still there, she and Ye Qing prepared the things that the old lady liked to eat before her death. Chen Xiao even went out to buy fresh pastries that old ladies used to like to eat.
Gu Shi'an originally thought that he was going to continue to live in the old mansion tonight, but who knew that after eating in the evening, Chen Xiao came back and said to Ye Qing after answering a phone call: "Aunt Ye, there is something I have to go back to the company to deal with, and I will come to see you next time." ”
Ye Qing was reluctant to leave the two of them, but he didn't leave the two of them when he knew that the company had something to do, but just told Chen Xiao not to worry, and he must drive slowly.
Chen Xiao fell, and told the aunt at home to call him if there was something here, and then got into the car.
At this time, it was already more than eight o'clock, I don't know what else happened to Chen Xiao's company at this time, the car drove out of the old house Gu Shi'an asked: "Is the company's business urgent?" ”
Chen Xiao took out a cigarette and lit it, lowered the window of the car, took a puff, and said, "It's not the company's business, they arrested people tonight." ”
When he said that he was grabbing someone, he naturally meant Wei Xu.
Gu Shi'an was stunned for a moment and said, "When did you catch it?" "It can't be caught last night, if it was caught last night, it's impossible to tell Chen Xiao now. But didn't that person go out late at night all the time?
"It didn't take long." Chen Xiao didn't hide it from her, and said.
"Where is he now?" Gu Shi'an asked again.
"Over the other side of East Street." Chen Xiao paused slightly, and then said: "He is still unconscious, I'll go over and take a look first, and you will stay in the car later." ”
This was originally her business, how could she hide behind him, she shook her head and said, "I'll go too." ”
Chen Xiao didn't stop her, but just called again and asked the people over there to clean up the ground.
Wei Xu was locked up in an inconspicuous house, the whole person was tied with hemp rope, and the person was unconscious, so he was thrown to the ground.
There was an unfamiliar face here, and he said as he walked in with Chen Xiao: "This kid used to be in the army, and he had a bit of kung fu. Two brothers almost broke in his hands. ”
Chen Xiao didn't speak, stepped forward and kicked the person on the ground. But Wei Xu didn't react.
The man hurriedly said, "He made a lot of trouble, and he used something for him, and he shouldn't wake up until tomorrow morning." He paused, hesitated slightly, and said, "It's not safe here, so you see where you should put him and take him here at this moment." ”
Chen Xiao looked at the people on the ground and said casually: "Throw it over there first." He narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said, "His bones are quite hard, wait for me to come over first." ”
Since Wei Xu is cautious, he will definitely not recruit people so quickly. Naturally, you have to eat a little bit of flesh and skin first.
The man immediately replied yes.
With Gu Shi'an here, it was not convenient for him to say something. He said, "It's dirty here, Mr. Chen, you and Miss Gu will go back first." I'll ask you to come over when you're ready. ”
People are unconscious, and it's useless to stay here.
Chen Xiao nodded, originally turned around to leave, but he didn't know what he thought of, turned around, and said lightly: "He is so cautious, maybe he still has some backhand, remember to be careful when he goes out later." ”
