Chapter 185: Tranquility

Chinese These things were said by the aunt when the aunt called the aunt over there, complaining to her that the atmosphere at home was not good recently, and she couldn't do anything to please the owner, but was often reprimanded.

The aunt sighed when she said this to Gu Shi'an, saying that Gu Su was too ignorant, and she didn't know where she was crazy.

and told Gu Shi'an not to say that he had leaked his mouth in front of the old lady, if the old lady knew that she would have to worry about it.

Gu Shi'an responded, talked to his aunt for a while, and then hung up the phone. She did not immediately go back to the house, but stood under the eaves.

I looked back and looked inside. She didn't care where Gu Su went, but this time her aunt should have wronged her.

Since she had the courage to get her out at her engagement party, I am afraid that she would not be having fun at this time.

Gu Shi'an didn't go back to the house, and stood for a while and went in the direction of the kitchen. I took the dishes that Chang Yan bought and chose them.

Her dish had just been chosen, and the dumb brother didn't know where to get a bag of oranges. It was placed in a basket like a treasure and let Gu Shi'an eat it.

The oranges should have just been picked and were very sweet. Gu Shi'an praised the deliciousness when he ate one, and the dumb brother showed a mouthful of white teeth.

He took another one and handed it to her. Gu Shi'an ate two oranges in a row and was about to cook, only to know when the power went out.

The dumb brother was not in a hurry at all, he whined straight to the stove and told Gu Shi'an that he could cook without electricity.

After making a gesture, he volunteered to take a pile of firewood and put it at the door of the stove, and put it at the door of the stove and began to make a fire.

Gu Shi'an had never cooked with firewood, so he couldn't brush off the kindness of his dumb brother, so he had to start cooking hard.

The dumb brother obviously uses firewood a lot, and he knows when the fire is increased and when to dismantle the firewood, although Gu Shi'an has never done it, he doesn't have to do it effortlessly.

Chen Xiao squinted for a while, walked to the kitchen door, and saw the dumb brother watching the fire at the door of the stove, while Gu Shi'an didn't know what soup was cooking.

On a rainy day, it got dark early, and the fire in the kitchen was not too bright, and both of their faces were bright.

Chen Xiao's gaze stayed on Gu Shi'an's slightly pale face, and before he could retract his gaze, Gu Shi'an looked over.

She saw Chen Xiao standing at the door and was stunned for a moment, then said

"Woke up?" Chen Xiao snorted lazily and walked into the kitchen. Probably Chang Yan said hello, and the dumb brother was also very enthusiastic about him, so he immediately wiped the stool he was sitting on and motioned for Chen Xiao to sit down.

Chen Xiao was not polite at all and sat down. Asked casually

"What's going to eat tonight?" Gu Shi'an said a few names of dishes and said

"The power is out, and the soup can only be stir-fried." Chen Xiao nodded. Gu Shi'an's dish ran out of firewood halfway, so the dumb brother ran out to find firewood, and Chen Xiao took over the responsibility of watching the fire.

Although he seemed careless, he had a lot of experience in watching the fire, and he didn't even put out the fire.

The dishes were fried quickly, and the dumb brother didn't come back, and Gu Shi'an was not busy serving the dishes, so he took out his mobile phone to call Chang Yan and asked her when she would come back.

She went out early today, and she should have come back a long time ago. I don't know if I didn't have the phone with me or what, but no one answered the phone for a long time.

When Gu Shi'an was about to hang up the phone, he picked it up. Gu Shi'an asked

"Ah Yan, when are you coming back?" Chang Yan was a little noisy over there, and ran to a slightly quieter place before he spoke

"It's a bit busy tonight, so I'll probably be back later. You don't have to wait for me to eat. Gu Shi'an replied.

Chang Yan asked again on the other side of the phone

"Is Chen Xiao over there?" Gu Shi'an looked at the person sitting in front of the stove with his long legs stretched out, and replied.

Chen Xiao was obviously a lot relieved in Chang Yin, nodded on the phone, and said

"I may have to be busy until more than twelve o'clock, someone's birthday, and a few tables have been added temporarily, and if it is very late, I will not come back, so you don't have to wait for me." She spoke quickly, and it seemed as if someone was calling her.

Gu Shi'an asked her to be busy first, and then hung up the phone. The dumb brother didn't know where to get firewood, and it took about 20 minutes to come back with a bundle of firewood.

Chang Yan didn't come back, and when he came back, Gu Shi'an put the dishes on the table. I don't know if it's been raining for a long time and there is a problem with the circuit or what, until it gets dark, there has been no electricity.

Gu Shi'an had to use the faint light of his mobile phone to fetch water and wash. As soon as it was dark, the dumb brother went back to the front, and after washing up, Gu Shi'an looked at Chen Xiao, who had been staying, and asked

"When are you going back?" Chen Xiao picked up the towel she had washed and fetched water, came out and began to wash, and replied

"I'm not going back tonight." Gu Shi'an was stunned and didn't speak. When she returned to her room, she realized that there was only one bed here.

Chen Xiao walked to the side of the bed, went directly to the bed, yawned, and said

"Sleep, it's not like we haven't slept together. Your friend won't be coming back tonight. He said this as if he had the function of a prophet of the unknown.

Gu Shi'an pursed his lips and asked

"How do you know?" The corners of Chen Xiao's mouth hooked evilly, and he said lazily

"What am I doing here?" He said this very ambiguously, as if he were here and they were bored.

However, Chang Yan did say that he would not come back if it was late, and Gu Shi'an did not speak. This bed is not big, and it is embarrassing for the two to lie together.

Gu Shi'an didn't go to bed, and after standing for a while, he was about to go out to find the dumb brother and ask if there were any other rooms. It's just that she walked to the door, and Chen Xiao said lazily as if he knew what she was going to do

"Don't you see that the yard here is usually not taken care of? Do you think there will be extra beds here? "Yes, at a glance in this courtyard, you can see that there is usually only the dumb brother alone.

Where may there be an extra quilt. Gu Shi'an's footsteps paused and did not say a word. Chen Xiao's voice softened a little and said

"The power is out, it's dark outside, it's raining again, come and sleep, don't go out to hang out, I won't do anything to you." In the darkness, his voice smelled of coaxing, like coaxing a child.

Gu Shi'an stood silently for a moment, returned to the bedside, sat for a while, and got on the bed. The bed was too narrow, and after she went up, Chen Xiao moved it in a bit.

But although he leaned against the wall, the bodies of the two were still inevitably next to each other. Inexplicably, it is a little more soft and intimate.

Chen Xiao couldn't help but want to reach out and take her into his arms, but finally restrained himself. After a while, he spoke

"I'm sorry." Gu Shi'an was arrested by Xiao Si, all because of him. He still owes her a word of apology.

Before meeting her, he had a thousand words to say. But at this moment, the two stayed together, but he couldn't say a word about what he wanted to say, only a dry and apologetic sorry.

He actually wanted to ask Xiao Si if he had treated her well, but he didn't know why, he couldn't say a word.

He was scared, and he didn't dare to imagine what she had suffered at Xiao Si's hands. Gu Shi'an said in a low voice

"He didn't treat me like that." Xiao Siyi has always been ruthless, and Chen Xiao didn't believe it at all.

He fell silent and did not speak again. Instead, Gu Shi'an asked again

"Is Gu Su also on his side?" Speaking of Gu Sulai, Chen Xiao's face suddenly became gloomy.

Said lightly

"She's getting bolder, and she's going to have to suffer a little bit to know what's serious." The meaning of this is that Gu Su is in his hands.

He's not shy about it. Gu Shi'an was not surprised, remembered what his aunt said, and said

"Let her go. It's me who was too careless. "It's true that she was too careless, if she kept on guard, she might not be able to follow Gu Su's way.

If Gu Su doesn't show up, sooner or later the old mansion will not be able to hide it, and the old lady will definitely be alarmed at that time.

And the old lady has always been shrewd, and will surely guess something. She didn't want the old lady to worry about these things.

Chen Xiao naturally knew her thoughts, and his tone was still light, and he said

"I'll take care of that." Gu Sun's brain was like a pig's brain, and every time he thought about that night, he couldn't control his anger.

It's long overdue for them to knock on the color a little, where would he let her go so easily. He had to give her a good long memory, and he would have to take a detour when he saw her later.

Gu Shi'an closed his eyes, and after a while, he asked

"Is she ...... with Xiao Si" She wanted to say that she was colluding together, but before the words could be spoken, Chen Xiao sneered and spoke

"She's not that brave yet." After a slight pause, he continued

"I'll look at this and won't let my grandmother know." Gu Shi'an's thoughts, she couldn't be clearer.

Gu Shi'an didn't speak, and at that moment, she suddenly remembered Xiao Si's words that Chen Xiao had taken his things.

She was in a trance for a moment, and the strange feeling of a few days ago resurfaced. It seems that Chen Xiao has never been the Chen Xiao she knows, but a stranger she has never known.

She was a little dazed, and she didn't even know when Chen Xiao became another Chen Xiao she didn't know and didn't know.

There was the sound of rain ticking down in the courtyard, which made the house even more silent. Chen Xiao's fingers clenched unconsciously, and he said in a low voice

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect them to do anything to you." He gave Xiao Si some lessons, originally thought that he would taste the pain and convergence, but who knew that he had intensified his efforts and actually hit her on the head.

Gu Shi'an shook his head gently in the dark and said that it was okay. Chang Yin didn't let her go out, she knew that Xiao Si's people outside must have been looking for them.

She wanted to ask something, but in the end she pretended not to know anything and didn't ask again. No one spoke again for the next time, the bodies of the two were next to each other, Gu Shi'an was not used to it, and his body was tense.

She was waiting for Chen Xiao to sleep first, and then to sleep. The darkness didn't know if the people around her were asleep or not, but her eyes were a little sore.

She closed her eyes. As soon as the eyes were closed, I didn't know when I fell asleep.

Chen Xiao has never slept all the time, and when he heard her breathing become steady, he originally wanted to reach out and pull the quilt for her, but for some reason, his hand was just raised, but he put it down again.

After a long while, he reached out to pull the quilt for her and closed his eyes. When Gu Shi'an woke up the next day, the inside of the bed had become empty, and Chen Xiao didn't know when he got up.

Gu Shi'an was slightly stunned, put on his shoes and got out of bed. When he opened the door and went out, the dumb brother was lighting a brazier under the eaves, and Chen Xiao had long since disappeared.

Gu Shi'an was slightly stunned, and before he could ask anything, he trotted over, and gestured to tell Gu Shi'an that Chen Xiao had left.

Gu Shi'an was not surprised, just nodded and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Chang Yan didn't come back at night as Chen Xiao said, Chen Xiao left, but she came back at noon.

Gu Shi'an stayed here and didn't know the situation outside, so when Chang Yan came back, he asked how it was outside.

Of course, Chang Yan went out on this trip not just to go to the store, and when he heard Gu Shi'an ask, he said

"I'm going to stay here for a few more days." What this means is that it is not yet calm outside. Gu Shi'an nodded, fell silent and did not speak.

Chang Yan said a few days, she originally thought that she would have ten days and a half months. Who knew that on the third day, Chang Yin packed up his things and said

"It's okay, you can go back. Do you want to go to my side to see Sister Lobby first? She suddenly mentioned that she could go back Gu Shi'an was slightly stunned, but she didn't ask anything, nodded and said

"Okay." Sitting in the car, she was slightly in a trance, Chen Xiao didn't know what to do in the past few days, she didn't come again, and she didn't make a phone call.

Xiao Si is not an ordinary person after all, but an underworld legend in Lincheng. Gu Shi'an was worried, but he still asked

"Chen Xiaohe over there...... Has it been taken care of? Chang Yan nodded and said

"It should have been dealt with, and Xiao Si's people have all been evacuated since last night. He called and said he could go back. "He actually called Chang Yin.

Gu Shi'an snorted and didn't ask anything more. Brother Dumb's place is a little far away from Chang Yan's small courtyard, and he has to take an hour's car.

Although the two of them didn't have many things, they probably felt that Gu Shi'an's body was still weak, so Chang Yan called a car from outside.

When he was almost in the courtyard, Gu Shi'an asked

"Ah Yan, these days, Sister Lobby ...... Have you ever asked me? "It's obviously not normal for her to show up for so long, so naturally she has to unify her voice with Chang Yan in advance.

Chang Yan nodded and said

"I asked, I told her that you were on a business trip for a short time. She didn't suspect anything. The two said that the car stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and the driver wanted to get out of the car to carry things for the two of them, Chang Yan did not let him, and explained to him in a low voice, and then he and Gu Shi'an carried things to the courtyard.

The door of the small courtyard was locked from the inside, and Chang Yin didn't knock on the door, but took out his mobile phone to make a call.

Gu Lan trotted out after a while, and saw Gu Shi'an slightly stunned. She knew that Gu Shi'an had already known, and greeted her with a frank smile

"Coming back from a business trip?" Gu Shi'an smiled and replied yes, and without asking anything, the three of them walked inside together.

During the day, Xiaohuzi's mother and Xiaohuzi went to the store, and Gu Lan was the only one in the small courtyard. When she saw the two of them coming back, she hurriedly asked the two if they had eaten and were going to cook.

Chang Yan hurriedly stopped her, saying that she had already eaten it, and asked her not to be busy. She knew that Gu Shi'an and Gu Lan had something to say, so she said a few words of greeting and made an excuse and went out, leaving only Gu Lan and Gu Shi'an.

The sisters had nothing to say for a while, and Gu Shi'an found some marginal topics to talk about. Gu Lan also cooperated with her, and after a while, he asked softly

"Shi'an, don't you ask anything?" During the time she spent here in Chang Yan, she thought a lot.

I also thought about it, Gu Shi'an asked her what to answer, but she didn't expect that Gu Shi'an didn't ask anything.

Gu Shi'an looked at her and asked

"Sister Lobby, have you made up your mind?" Gu Lan was slightly stunned, and a faint smile appeared on his gentle face, and he said

"That's enough for so many years. I didn't have anything to remember there. Her expression was calm and there was no resentment.

Her answer made Gu Shi'an breathe a sigh of relief, she was actually afraid that Gu Lan would go back if she couldn't stand the pressure.

That one was not a good thing in the first place, and when she went back, she would only wronged herself. The past is gone, and all we have to do now is to get rid of everything that was before and move forward.

Gu Shi'an took a deep breath and said

"Don't contact my aunt and uncle first, live with me first, you can rest for a few days and start looking for a job, and then tell them when it stabilizes." Nothing is the most important thing now, the most important thing is that she has to learn to support herself.

contacted her uncle and aunt before she could gain a firm foothold, and most of the time she would only be escorted back by crying, making trouble and hanging herself.

Gu Lan also thought the same, nodded and said

"I was going to go out to look for a job a few days ago, and Chang Yan said that I would talk about it when you came back." After a slight pause, she said euphemistically

"It's inconvenient for me to live on your side, I've already gone to see the house, the house here is very easy to find, and it's not expensive, I'll rent a house first." She intended to be self-reliant from the beginning and did not intend to rely on anyone.

As the eldest daughter of the Gu family's house, she naturally has real estate in her name. But none of those things, strictly speaking, belonged to her, and she didn't want to live in them.

Gu Shi'an naturally knew what she meant by inconvenience, so she was silent for a moment and said

"I moved out of my new house and now live in the house I used to live in." Gu Lan obviously didn't expect it, was stunned for a moment, and then said

"You and Chen Xiao......" Gu Shi'an smiled faintly, nodded, and said seriously

"It's separated." This was something Gu Lan didn't expect, but between Gu Shi'an and Chen Xiao...... She knew something about it.

She was slightly distracted, she didn't know what she thought, and she didn't speak for a while. After a while, he spoke

"It's good to be able to put it down." Why bother yourself. She paused slightly, then asked

"Does Grandma know?" Gu Shi'an shook his head and said

"I haven't told her yet." Gu Lan nodded and said

"Let's talk about it at the right time." Gu Shi'an snorted, looked at her, and asked

"Uncle and aunt, have you figured out what to do?" Gu Lan fell silent, squeezed out a smile, and said

"Let's take it one step at a time. You know them...... But Shi'an, I've had enough of being a puppet. Sometimes, I'm so tired that I want to die. I'm their own daughter, and they can't force me to die. Speaking of the back, her voice was already a little self-deprecating.

After a pause, she changed the subject and said

"Okay, it's rare for our sisters to meet, don't talk about these unhappy things." Gu Shi'an responded with a hello and squeezed out a smile.

Chang Yin didn't know where he went, and he didn't come back as soon as he went out. There were vegetables in the refrigerator, and Gu Shi'an and Gu Lan started cooking.

Gu Lan's status in her in-law's family is not high, although she has an aunt at home, most of the three meals a day are cooked by her herself.

Her movements are swift, and the dishes she makes are pleasing to the eye, both in terms of dishes and presentation.

At the end, I saw flour and pumpkin, and I made pumpkin pie. Her ex-mother-in-law has always liked to eat desserts, but she thinks the outside is unclean and too sweet, so she specially learned to make pastries to serve her.

Her hands are skillful, and she can pinch out a beautiful shape without the model's hands. Gu Shi'an's mind flashed and said

"Chang Yan has opened a store over there, how about Sister Lobby why don't you go to her to make desserts?" Although there are no sweets in the store right now, as long as the craftsmanship is good, it will definitely sell well.

After all, most of the people who go to the store are young people. Gu Lan still had a smile on his face, but he shook his head and said

"I've always mentioned this, and I can't trouble you. You know my parents, and if you know that I work in the store, you'll make a big fuss. Maybe even say that you instigated me to divorce. For the time being, I'm just going to find a job to support myself, and then I'll wait until I have a showdown with them, and then I want to do anything. Her tone was a little self-deprecating, and she continued

"The only thing I can do now is to make desserts." She is also a top student from a prestigious university, which sounds sad.

Gu Shi'an lowered his head and said seriously

"As long as you want to learn, you can slowly pick up the things you have learned before." Gu Lan smiled and nodded, and continued to make pumpkin pie.

Said

"I'll talk about it when I find the class." Yes, now say that those are empty. What she needs most now is to find a job that can support herself.

Gu Shi'an snorted and said

"There is a shortage of people now, I will accompany you to find it." Gu Lan looked at her and asked

"Don't you have to go to work? I heard Chang Yan say that day that you resigned from your original company? "Cat flutter Chinese
