Chapter Eighty-Three: Justified
He was rightly right.
As if he knew what Gu Shi'an was thinking, he made a modest appearance and said, "Of course, I am different from them. β
Gu Shi'an simply closed his mouth, let him boast and stop talking.
She was a little dazed, her mind empty.
Qin Tang brought a lot of specialties, and with Chen Xiao's character, Gu Shi'an originally thought that he would throw them away. But he didn't, when he got to the old house, he directly handed over everything to Ye Qing, and said with a smile that it was given by a friend.
In addition to the souvenirs, Qin Tang also brought Gu Shi'an a few books, as well as a cute bear that he didn't know where to buy it.
It's like it's for a child. Chen Xiao read them one by one, sighed a few times, but did not express any opinions.
Gu Shi'an ignored him and put away all the things one by one.
Chen Xiao didn't know what he was thinking, waiting for Gu Shi'an to finish cleaning up. Then he asked casually, "Have you seen him before?" β
He raised his chin and pointed to the things that Qin Tang had sent.
Gu Shi'an didn't know why he asked this, he was stunned for a moment, but still replied: "I met at my father's funeral." β
Her tone sounded calm.
Chen Xiao probably didn't expect this to be the case, and he was stunned for a while, and then he sighed indiscriminately and didn't ask anything again.
Gu Shi'an didn't speak again.
Later, Luo Ying came to the house to see the old lady, he should have known that Gu Shi'an left drunk last night. When he saw her, he said apologetically: "Luo Zhen is not sensible, I'm sorry." There was a bit of helplessness on his face, and seeing that Gu Shi'an didn't understand, he explained: "She likes to mess up things since she was a child, so ...... We didn't dare touch anything she came out. I apologize to you, Miss Gu, on her behalf. β
Dare to love last night when I met Gu Shi'an, the big wrongdoer.
Where did Gu Shi'an think that no one dared to drink the wine that Luo Zhen gave her last night, seeing Luo Zhen's solemn face, he quickly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, isn't it okay for me?" She was drunk last night and didn't know how Luo Zhen was, so she asked again, "Miss Luo was okay last night?" β
Luo Ying smiled at this time, with the same helplessness in her expression, and said, "It's okay, she has been drinking well since she was a child." β
It's not just good, she's been greedy for cups since she was a child, and he has hardly seen her drunk.
Gu Shi'an nodded and said a few words of greeting, and then Gu Shi'an took Luo Ying to the old lady's room.
The old lady liked Luo Ying very much, and when she saw that it was already dinner, she left him down to eat. Probably because it was the first month, Luo Ying was not busy. I didn't shirk it like I did in the past, and stayed for dinner.
Most of the topics for dinner were Luo Zhen, she was a weird elf, and Luo Zhen, who was an older brother, had a headache.
Speaking of Luo Zhen, Gu Shi'an unconsciously remembered Chang Yinlai.
Her heart was a little heavy.
Later in the evening, Chen Xiao sent Luo Ying out, and Gu Shi'an went upstairs first. Standing in the corridor, he took out his mobile phone to call Chang Yin.
Chang Yin's phone was called this time, but no one answered.
Gu Shi'an fought a second time. This time, there was still no answer, so she didn't call again, instead texted and put the phone back in her pocket.
She was going to start work the day after tomorrow, so she read the email in the mailbox and replied to the reply, and then went to take a shower.
There were deep and shallow marks on her body, and she looked at it, closed her eyes and leaned against the wall.
When he went out to take a shower, Chen Xiao had already returned. I don't know what I'm thinking, standing at the window and smoking.
Gu Shi'an didn't say a word, and went to bed directly after drying his hair. Chen Xiao stood at the window for a few minutes before going to wash.
The two of them had their own thoughts, obviously they should be sleepy, but Gu Shi'an couldn't sleep at all while lying on the bed. There was silence for a long time before she asked, "Do you know what Chang Yan is doing?" β
Her voice was low in the night.
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows in the dark and said, "What are you asking for?" How do I know what she does, you think too highly of me. β
His voice was slouchy. I don't know if it's true or not.
Gu Shi'an was silent now.
Chen Xiao hooked the corners of his lips in the dark, turned over and propped himself up on top of Gu Shi'an, looked at her with burning eyes, lowered his voice and said, "But what, daughter-in-law, you want to know." I'll have to figure it out for you even if I try my best. β
His tone was ambiguous.
He was very uncomfortable with Gu Shi'an like this, turned his face away, and said in a stiff voice: "No." β
"Don't you?" Chen Xiao chuckled.
Gu Shi'an was even more uncomfortable at this time, closed his eyes, and said, "I'm going to sleep." β
Chen Xiao chuckled, approached her little by little, and said, "Daughter-in-law, what are you thinking?" There was something playful in his tone.
"I didn't think about anything." Gu Shi'an said angrily.
"Really?" Chen Xiao turned over and fell asleep, chuckled, and said, "Didn't think about what kind of tantrum you wanted?" β
He deliberately approached Gu Shi'an, and the breath he exhaled went straight into her ears.
Gu Shi'an stopped paying attention to him now. Chen Xiao didn't care. He smiled again and said, "I know that you were tired last night, daughter-in-law, sleep well." Wait for your daughter-in-law to think about it, and we'll play again. β
It's obviously his despicable danger to take advantage of others, but now he talks like her......
Gu Shi'an grinded his teeth and didn't pay attention to him anymore.
She fell asleep at this moment, and fell asleep after a while. Chen Xiao, who was sleeping in a daze, took her into his arms. She struggled for a moment and fell asleep again.
When she woke up the next day, Chen Xiao was gone. When it was time to eat breakfast, I heard Ye Qing mention that something had happened to Chen Xiao's customer, and he went on a business trip early in the morning.
I had to go to work the next day, and in the afternoon, the old lady urged Gu Shi'an to go back to the new house. It's close to work over there, and it's a waste of time back and forth here, tossing people.
Although he only came back to live during the Chinese New Year, Gu Shi'an didn't know what Chen Xiao meant, hesitated for a while, and then came down and asked Ye Qing to call her if he had something.
She went back to the old house in the afternoon, and when she went to the guest room to look, she found that Chang Yan's clothes and other daily necessities had been taken away at some point.
Gu Shi'an stood in the guest room for a while, and then returned to the living room.
I was not at home during the Chinese New Year, and a thin layer of dust had accumulated in the corners of the house. Gu Shi'an cheered up, washed all the clothes, and then began to clean the house.
By the time everything was cleaned up, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and she didn't bother to go down to buy anything, so she cooked a bowl of somen noodles and cooked a bowl of noodles when she saw the leftovers.
Obviously, I have only been on vacation for about ten days, and I went to the company to see my colleagues as if I hadn't seen them for a long time. Several colleagues brought candy and threw it in the pantry for everyone to eat.
When he came back after the New Year, Xiao Wang's face turned round. When he saw Gu Shi'an, he screamed and asked her why she wasn't fat at all. He also said that he gained six pounds during the New Year, and he was going to lose weight from today.
She often talks about losing weight, but in fact she has never acted. Gu Shi'an didn't believe it at all, and smiled and asked her to take care of her mouth first.
The first day at work was easy and there was very little to do. Female colleagues are talking about all kinds of interesting stories about the New Year in the pantry.
I don't know who found out that Luo Yun didn't come, so he squeezed his eyebrows and asked, "That one hasn't come today, isn't coming?" β
Luo Yun is the third son of Mr. Qu, which is no secret in the company.
"Not necessarily, people are special people. Don't say that you didn't come today, even if you don't come for a week, who would dare to say anything? The tone was sour.
The pantry is always the origin of gossip, and the more people talk, the more energetic they become. I don't know where I got the news, saying that Mr. Qu had bought a house for Luo Yun in a certain real estate and bought a car worth a lot of money.
The tone is both jealous and disdainful.
Gu Shi'an stood for a moment. The phone rang and walked out of the pantry quickly.
The call was from Assistant Cao on Xu Wei's side, asking Gu Shi'an if he had started to work.
Gu Shi'an went back to work. Assistant Cao breathed a sigh of relief and said that Manager Xu asked him to start work as soon as possible, and they planned to move to the new office as soon as possible.
Gu Shi'an didn't expect to be in such a hurry, so he groaned slightly, saying that he would call the engineering team and let him start work as soon as possible.
Assistant Cao's side agreed, saying that he would have to trouble Gu Shi'an to go to their company tomorrow, and Manager Xu had some new ideas and asked her to discuss them together.
Xu Wei is not easy to serve, Gu Shi'an is used to it, so he responded and made an appointment. As soon as I hung up, there was a knock on the office door.
She said a word and came in.
She originally thought that a colleague had something to do, but who knew that the door was opened, but the person who came in was Shu Min.
Compared with Xiao Wang's fatness, Shu Min has not changed much, but is a little more haggard. Seeing Gu Shi'an, she called Sister Gu uncomfortably and said, "This is Luo ...... Director Luo brought a New Year's gift to you and Xiao Wang. β
Only then did Gu Shi'an notice that she was carrying two exquisite gift boxes in her hands.
On the first day of coming back for the New Year, Luo Yun's title had changed.
Because of the plagiarism last time, Shu Min saw that Gu Shi'an had always been able to hide a lot. This will make me have to come to the door, and I also lowered my head and didn't go to see Gu Shi'an. The smile on his face was also reluctant.
What she was holding in her hand was a certain big brand of cosmetics. I have to say that Luo Yun is very generous. Even she and Xiao Wang sent it. This proves that everyone in the company should have a share.
She's quite good at winning people's hearts.
Gu Shi'an didn't embarrass Shu Min, took the things, and said, "Thank you, and thank Director Luo on my behalf." β
Shu Min breathed a sigh of relief, said hello, closed the door and left.
Obviously, not long ago, everyone was still discussing San'er's matter with disdain, and after receiving the gift, the wind direction changed suddenly, and when Gu Shi'an went over to pour water, several female colleagues surrounded Luo Yun and asked this and that enviously.
I haven't seen each other for more than ten days, and Luo Yun's whole body has been replaced with big names. A conspicuous pigeon egg was worn on his finger. Mr. Qu was very willing to her.
Although he had already torn his face, he would say hello to Gu Shi'an in the past. Probably because he was promoted, he didn't say hello anymore. just raised his chin slightly, looking arrogant.
Waiting for Gu Shi'an to finish brewing coffee, she handed over the cup, the corners of her lips raised, and said, "Please ask Senior Sister Gu to make me a cup by the way." β
She called Gu Shi'an as a tea girl.
All colleagues know about the festival between the two. There was a moment of silence in the pantry.
Gu Shi'an raised his head and looked at Luo Yun with a smile. After about a minute or two, he smiled slightly and said yes. Reached out to pick up the cup in Luo Yun's hand.
Luo Yun's face was even more proud.
Gu Shi'an took the cup and slowly took the water. Then he handed it to Luo Yun.
Luo Yun hooked the corners of her mouth and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Gu." β
said thank you, but there was no sincerity in this voice.
Gu Shi'an smiled slightly and said politely. Luo Yun's hand had just touched the cup when her hand loosened.
The teacup fell to the ground with a screeching crisp sound, and Gu Shi'an avoided it quickly. Not splashed by hot water. The cup of hot coffee was all spilled on Luo Yun's expensive boots.
She screamed, pointed at Gu Shi'an with anger, gritted her teeth and said, "You...... You did it on purpose. β
Gu Shi'an made an innocent look and said, "I'm sorry, my hand slipped." After a slight pause, she looked at Luo Yun and said, "Director Luo is so generous, he must not let me pay for this cup." I still have something. Went first. β
She smiled slightly, and her tone was understated. Saying that, without looking at Luo Yun, who was trembling with anger, he walked out of the pantry.
Luo Yun felt very distressed about those boots, and now she couldn't care about the good image she had just created, so she pointed to Gu Shi'an's back and gritted her teeth and said, "Let's see!" β
She was hysterical, and when she saw Shu Min standing on the side, she pointed at her and scolded: "Are you blind? Won't you get it clean for me soon?! β
Shu Min was resigned, and quickly pulled out a tissue. Wipe the coffee on Luo Yun's boots.
When this happened, several colleagues in the pantry looked at each other and made excuses to leave the pantry quickly.
Luo Yun gritted her teeth and clenched her fingers hatefully.
Gu Shi'an looked light-hearted, and later Xiao Wang didn't know where to hear about the pantry and came back to ask her, and she also brought it over lightly.
There was an old grudge between her and Luo Yun, and she knew very well in her heart that as long as Luo Yun was still in the position of deputy director in the future. I'm afraid her life won't be easy.
This was something she had expected a long time ago, and it was calm. After drinking half a cup of coffee, I called the construction team.
Luo Yun didn't know what moths were brewing, and there was no movement when he got off work in the afternoon.
The soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, Gu Shi'an didn't care about her, packed up his things and got off work.
As soon as he went downstairs, Xiao Wang chased him out of breath. stepped forward and grabbed Gu Shi'an's arm, and said with a smile: "Sister Gu, I'll take you to eat something delicious." β
Gu Shi'an glanced at her with a smile and asked, "Aren't you trying to lose weight?" β
Xiao Wang laughed at this time and said, "You have to eat enough to have the strength to lose weight." β
She specially chased it out, and Gu Shi'an knew that she must have something wrong. Just ask her where she is going.
Xiao Wang was very familiar with all the large and small boxes nearby, and took Gu Shi'an to drill into the alley. When he got to the inconspicuous faΓ§ade of the house, he stopped and said, "Here it is." The hot pot here is delicious, I've come here twice in the past few days. β
As she spoke, she walked inside, calling the boss to order.
The shop is not big, but the tables are already half occupied by customers.
Xiao Wang said while ordering food: "Good luck today, if you come in another half an hour, there will be no place." β
As she spoke, she introduced the delicious food in the store. After the introduction, he looked at Gu Shi'an and said, "Sister Gu, don't be angry, don't pay attention to that woman, let her be proud." There were times when she couldn't get proud. β
It turned out that she chased it out to comfort Gu Shi'an.
Gu Shi'an was a little amused and said, "Do you look like I'm angry?" β
Xiao Wang said at this time: "You are not angry on the surface, but you must be very angry in your heart." She went too far and asked you to pour her coffee. Hmph, she didn't look in the mirror first. Qu can always be her father, and I don't know what she's so excited about. β
She looked disdainful, and said in a chattering voice: "Sister Gu, if you leave, I will definitely follow." I don't want to stay in this ground, I'm bored. β
After staying in this company for so many years, there are some feelings. Gu Shi'an was slightly melancholy, and said, "Let's talk about it when the things at hand are over." β
Xiao Wang nodded, thought about it, and gloated: "Maybe she won't be able to do it for long." Sooner or later, it will reach the ears of Mrs. Qu. I don't believe she's still screaming. β
All her thoughts were on eating, and soon the bottom of the pot and the dishes she ordered came up, and she buried her head in eating.
Gu Shi'an shook his head amusedly, and also started to eat.
Xiao Wang was still worried about her in the end, and after eating, he babbled and racked his brains to find comforting words to comfort Gu Shi'an, and only got into the car under Gu Shi'an's urging.
Originally, she invited Gu Shi'an to dinner, but in the end, Gu Shi'an invited her to dinner and paid the fare for her.
The streets in early spring were still cold, Xiao Wang left, and Gu Shi'an stood on the side of the road for a moment before stopping the car.
There was nothing empty at home, and after getting out of the car, she went to the supermarket outside the community to buy things, and then walked back.
When she climbed to the floor where she was, the voice-activated lights in the corridor didn't turn on, and she knew it was broken. She twisted everything in one hand and reached for the keys with her phone in the other.
She kept her head buried and didn't even look ahead. When she reached the door and saw the figure standing by the door, she was startled. The bag he was carrying almost fell to the ground.
Chen Xiao quickly took it and said with a smile: "But I haven't seen you for a day." Daughter-in-law, you use such a surprise. β
He was surprised, he was clearly frightened.
Gu Shi'an looked at him vigilantly and asked, "Why are you here?" β
He was probably hungry, rummaged through the bag of things he could eat, and said with a smile: "I will naturally be where my daughter-in-law is." β
His tone was very casual.
Gu Shi'an was just about to speak, when he heard footsteps coming upstairs. She pursed her lips.
Chen Xiao made a pitiful look and said, "Daughter-in-law, open the door, I've been waiting for you here for almost two hours." My legs are numb. β
He deliberately raised his voice. As he spoke, he looked towards the staircase.
It was the next-door neighbor who came up. Seeing that Chen Xiao was about to say something again, Gu Shi'an gritted his teeth and took out the door open.
As soon as Chen Xiao entered the door, he stretched out his hand to turn on the light, and walked in as if he were in his own home. He put the bag on the table and asked, "Daughter-in-law, I'm dying of hunger, is there anything I can eat?" β
Gu Shi'an said no, with a wooden face. She didn't move, looked at Chen Xiao, and asked, "What are you doing here?" β
"Of course, I'm here to accompany your daughter-in-law. It's cold. A person who sleeps easily catches a cold. "He had a hippie smile. Probably really hungry, I opened a pack of cookies and ate them.
Gu Shi'an pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
Chen Xiao paused slightly as he ate the biscuits, winked at Gu Shi'an, and said, "Daughter-in-law, you slept with me several times that night, are you going to admit it?" β
Gu Shi'an's face changed, he would be very observant at this time, and immediately said: "You get me something to eat, I'll eat and leave, really." β
"There's food out there." Gu Shi'an said expressionlessly.
"But I don't have any money. When I was at the airport, my wallet was gone, and my card was gone. I don't believe you. As he spoke, he raised his hands and asked Gu Shi'an to search for it.
The look on his face didn't look fake. Seeing that Gu Shi'an didn't step forward, he turned out the pockets of his clothes and trouser pockets again.
His wallet must have really fallen off, and there was nothing on him.
Gu Shi'an was silent.
Chen Xiao probably saw her looseness, and said, "Daughter-in-law, I am what I eat in the morning." I'm starving to death. I promise. As soon as I'm full, I'll leave. β
He's swearing at this point. As he spoke, he collapsed on the sofa and hummed, "If there is nothing, I don't have the strength to walk." β
This is threatening Gu Shi'an.
Gu Shi'an will never have the upper hand in fighting with him, pursed his lips, and stepped forward to take out all the things he had just purchased. He said with a wooden face: "There is only noodles at home." β
Chen Xiao hurriedly said: "There is a face and a line." My daughter-in-law's handicraft is good, and everything is delicious. β
He grinned, and didn't forget to pat his ass.
Gu Shi'an didn't say a word, and went into the kitchen to boil water.
When she was in the kitchen, she didn't know who called Chen Xiao, he simply made a few hum-huhs, hung up the phone, stood at the kitchen door, and asked, "Daughter-in-law, do you want me to help?" β
Gu Shi'an didn't think about it, so he said no.
Chen Xiao said numbly: "Daughter-in-law, are you distressed that I have been running around for a day?" β
He had said this as if he had helped before.
Gu Shi'an ignored him and took out vegetables and eggs bought from the supermarket from the refrigerator.
She didn't speak, Chen Xiao had something to say. .
When the noodles were ready, he stepped forward by himself, approached Gu Shi'an and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, you are so good, give me something to eat." β
He whistled as he spoke, and went out with his face in hand.
