Chapter 179: The villain is difficult to guard
Before the two of them could speak, Chen Xiao walked over with a cigarette. He didn't know if he heard what Chen Xun said, and there was no expression on his face.
Chen Xun probably didn't expect Chen Xiao to be there, and the smile on his face was slightly stiff. Then he smiled and said, "Brother and sister-in-law came over for dinner together?" ”
Chen Xiaopi glanced at him with a smile and said, "I really don't remember when I had an extra brother coming out." ”
After he said this, he didn't look at him anymore, and dragged Gu Shi'an's hand into the private room.
His face was full of gloom, and when he entered the door, he threw the cigarette butt into the trash can, and said to Gu Shi'an: "Stay away from him in the future." ”
Although Chen Xun had a smile on his face all the time, Gu Shi'an knew that his city should be extremely deep.
Chen Zhengkang has done so many things, it is impossible for him not to know. Until now, he still looks like he is out of the way, which can only show that his emotional intelligence is extremely high.
If he really showed it on his face, Chen Zhengkang jumped up and down, and it was impossible for him not to stop it.
It is more likely that Chen Zhengkang's jumping up and down was instructed by him behind his back. Chen Zhengkang is just a gun that shoots wherever it goes. If this is the case, Chen Xun is not enough to describe it as terrible.
Gu Shi'an's heart was heavy, and he suddenly remembered what Aunt Ye said that day that Chen Zhengkang was going to fight for the old house, and he was silent for a while, but he still asked: "Aunt Ye said that they plan to want the old house." ”
Chen Xiao was not surprised that Ye Qing would tell her these things, he regained his indifferent appearance at this time, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint mockery, and said, "There is nothing they don't want." ”
Yes, human desires are difficult to fill. What Chen Zhengkang and Chen Xun want is not only an old house, but also a company.
Gu Shi'an pursed his lips slightly, Chen Xiao didn't wait for her to speak, and said lightly: "Don't worry about it, they won't have any chance of winning." I won't allow them to win. ”
He obviously didn't take the two of them seriously.
Over there in the old house, the old lady has stayed there all her life. There are so many places to remember that he can't possibly give them.
He knows too well the character of the insatiable family, and the old mansion will not be well protected in their hands, and I am afraid it will only be destroyed beyond recognition.
Chen Xiao said and put a piece of freshly soaked meat into the oil dish in front of Gu Shi'an, Gu Shi'an said I will come by myself and picked up the chopsticks.
She didn't eat right away, was silent for a while, and said, "The villain is difficult to guard, don't take it lightly." ”
She rarely said such a thing, Chen Xiao didn't speak, but raised his eyebrows and glanced at her with interest.
Gu Shi'an avoided his gaze and lowered his head to eat.
The atmosphere of this meal is very good, the taste of the hot pot is also good, Chen Xiao didn't eat much, but Gu Shi'an ate it.
After eating, Chen Xiao was not in a hurry to drive, raised his wrist to look at the time, looked at Gu Shi'an, and said, "Go and eat?" ”
Gu Shi'an was indeed too full and nodded.
Next to the hot pot restaurant is a small park, it is still early, and the people who came out for a walk after dinner in the park sat in the park. There is a little baby who has just learned to walk slowly, giggling, and after a few steps, he pounces into the arms of his parents.
Gu Shi'an couldn't help but smile when he looked at it.
Probably afraid that Chen Xiao next to her would find out, she quickly withdrew her gaze.
After the old lady passed away, she saw Chen Xun several times and he was proud. Gu Shi'an hesitated for a moment and asked, "Chen Xun, what are you doing now?" ”
Chen Xiao was not surprised that she would ask, and said lightly: "It seems that he has opened a company with someone." He didn't seem to care, and he didn't say what the company was for. Speaking of this, he paused, glanced at Gu Shi'an, and said, "What are you doing with him, don't you think it's disappointing?" ”
His dislike for Chen Xun and Chen Zhengkang has never been hidden.
Gu Shi'an didn't speak anymore. She couldn't find anything to say, so she looked into the park. The little baby I saw just now came over under the guidance of her parents, and she was chasing her father with a pair of small short legs.
Before Gu Shi'an's gaze could be withdrawn, Chen Xiao beside him said, "Just sit here for a while." ”
He said as he sat down on the side. Gu Shi'an nodded and sat down as well.
The two of them didn't speak for a while, just sat quietly, feeling the coolness of the night breeze.
After sitting for almost half an hour, Chen Xiaocai stood up and said, "Let's go, go back, it's not too early." ”
The two didn't go far, and it was only a few minutes back in the parking lot. When he got in the car, Gu Shi'an remembered the time when she and Chen Xiao were chased, and finally asked, "Have you dealt with the affairs of that group of people last time?" ”
I never heard Chen Xiao mention this matter later, as if nothing had happened.
The corners of Chen Xiao's mouth hooked slightly, glanced at her, and said, "I just ask now, are you too slow to react?" ”
He didn't plan to say anything, his fingers tapped rhythmically on the steering wheel a few times, looked at Gu Shi'an again, and asked, "It seems that I haven't seen the surnamed Qin for a while, where have you gone?" ”
He would even take the initiative to mention Qin Tanglai, this sun simply came out in the west.
Gu Shi'an was slightly stunned before he said, "On a business trip?" ”
She originally thought that this topic would end here, but who knew that it wasn't, Chen Xiao glanced at her sideways again, and said, "Didn't tell you where he went?" ”
Gu Shi'an didn't know why he was asking about this, and shook his head.
Chen Xiao sneered, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know why he endured it again. Snorted coldly from his nose.
He has been busy all this time, and after Chen Xiao mentioned it, Gu Shi'an remembered that Qin Tang had been on a business trip for a long time.
He used to contact her from time to time, but this time on a business trip, he hadn't called her for a long time. And to call him, his cell phone is also turned off. It's not normal at all.
She was slightly distracted, and only after washing up did she enter the bedroom did she take out her mobile phone to call Qin Tang.
Same as the result of the last call, this time Qin Tang's mobile phone was still turned off. Gu Shi'an hesitated, but still sent him a text message and asked him if he was still on a business trip.
The phone is turned off, and this text message is naturally not seen. Qin Tang has not replied to the text message.
Chen Xiao went to Gu's matter Gu Shi'an's heart was still uneasy, and she lay on the bed for a long time, and when she saw that Chang Yan should have gotten off work, she took out her mobile phone to call Chang Yin.
Chang Yan was closing the door when she called, and when she received her call, she asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Wei Xu escaped from her hands because she was guilty, although she had been looking for it, but there had been no news. It's as if they have disappeared out of thin air. Whether it's a train station, a bus station, or an airport, there's no trace left behind.
There have been a lot of things recently, and she should have called Gu Shi'an, but because Wei Xu didn't find it, she didn't call, but she didn't expect her to call first.
Gu Shi'an replied that he didn't say much, and asked, "Are there many guests today?" ”
Chang Yan replied that it was okay, and recently, the business in the store has stabilized, and the appointments will be full almost every day.
It's obviously not okay to be the only one in the kitchen, and she will borrow someone from the former boss when she has something to do a few times. She's planning to hire another chef lately.
Gu Shi'an wouldn't be fine when she called so late, she closed the door, paused at the door, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to come out and sit?" ”
Gu Shi'an said no, was silent for a while, and said that Chen Xiao went to the Gu family and maybe had to sort out the archives.
She was uneasy in her heart, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Does he know something?" ”
They went to the archives, and Chen Xiao happened to come over. They were about to find a way to enter the archives again, and the sky gave them a chance in vain like a pie. To say that these have nothing to do with Chen Xiao, she doesn't believe it at all.
Chen Xiao's ability has always been something that should not be underestimated.
Chang Yan also didn't know what Chen Xiao was planning, so he pondered for a while and said, "No, he can't know." ”
But she couldn't explain how Chen Xiao knew that their target was the archives, and after a pause, she continued: "Don't think about it, what he wants to do, he will always know in the end." ”
Gu Shi'an nodded, changed the topic, and asked Chang Yan if he was going back to the courtyard.
Chang Yan has been going back to the small courtyard during this time, and she said yes.
Gu Shi'an found something to chat with her, until she heard Chang Yan talking to the driver, so she was careful on the road and hung up the phone.
The taxi was not on the way, Chang Yan stood there staring at the phone, and after a long while, he came back to his senses, put the phone in his pocket, and looked at the cold sidewalk opposite.
The company's actions are rare and fast, Gu Shi'an went to the company the next day, and Sister Du took the key to the archive room in her hand. Said that the key was given to her, and told them to go to the archives.
There have been a lot of things recently, but I stopped understanding the two of them, and found a little girl to come over and look at the data room, and asked her and Gu Shi'an to go to the archives to sort it out. The reason is that they are used to this thing, and they are quick to organize it. The data company over there is in a hurry to get it.
In front of her boss, Sister Du didn't dare to complain anything, but she kept complaining in front of Gu Shi'an. The archives have been dusty, who wants to eat a mouthful of ashes?
It's a complaint, but what needs to be done has to be done. When the little girl came over, Sister Du took Gu Shi'an to the archives.
Gu Shi'an came over secretly a few times, but he was a little unaccustomed to coming over openly this time.
There was no one in the small building today, it was very deserted, and Sister Du said as she walked: "It's all dilapidated like this, and I don't know how to set up the archives here." ”
She complained that Gu Shi'an couldn't say anything, so she listened to her complain with a smile on her face.
The two went upstairs, and Sister Du suddenly covered her stomach and said, "The key is for you, you tidy up first, I have to go to the bathroom." ”
She seemed to be in a hurry, stuffed the key to Gu Shi'an, and then hurried downstairs.
Her back quickly disappeared into the corridor, Gu Shi'an looked at the key in his hand, picked it up and opened the door.
The speed of unlocking with a key is about the same as that of a regular lock, and although the lock has been opened, it has not been damaged in any way.
When I opened the door, it was still the same as when the two of them left, as if no one had come.
Gu Shi'an looked around, put the key away, and then slowly sorted it out.
Sister Du didn't come back long after, stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and nose, and said, "No one has been here for a long time, and there is a smell of dust." ”
She was disgusted.
Gu Shi'an smiled at this time, put down the information in his hand, and said, "Why don't you clean it up first?" ”
Sister Du's hand still didn't let go, nodded, and said, "Let's clean it first, I don't know when I will be able to find out all the information, I must stay here for a few days." ”
As she spoke, she stepped forward and opened the window.
Gu Shi'an said now: "Okay, I'll go find something to clean up." ”
Sister Du said hello, and as soon as Gu Shi'an turned around and walked out of the door, she suddenly stopped her.
She screamed suddenly, and Gu Shi'an immediately turned around.
Sister Du was staring at the ground, and said suspiciously, "Have you been here just now?" There are footprints on the ground. ”
A thin layer of ash had already accumulated on the ground, and shallow footprints could occasionally be seen when walking by.
She hadn't been there today, she should have stayed when she came that day. She and Chang Yan thought of everything that day, and the only thing they didn't expect was that no one had come here for a long time, and there would be footprints.
She tried her best to calm herself, nodded, and said with a smile, "I've been." I've never been here before, and I've just come full circle. ”
Sister Du straightened up and muttered, "I thought someone had come." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Gu Shi'an and said, "Go and get something to clean up, if someone comes to see it later, it will say that we are lazy." ”
Gu Shi'an's heart finally let go of his throat, answered the hello, and went downstairs.
When she got downstairs, she let out a soft sigh. At this moment, she was extremely glad that Sister Du went to the bathroom just now. If she had entered the archives with her, she would probably not have been able to hide it. She also thought that Sister Du would be so careful, and she even noticed that there were footprints on the ground.
Her thoughts paused for a moment at this point, and it seemed that even if she came here in the open, she had to be careful when looking for something. And not to be taken lightly.
This thought flashed through Gu Shi'an's mind, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
The workload here in the archives is huge, and I don't know what the specific project is, but the top is obviously very concerned, and people come over to see it several times a day.
Even Sister Du didn't dare to be lazy, and she was doing things conscientiously.
Gu's has a lot of projects that have died in recent years, and it is probably because he saw hope this time. This archive room suddenly became a treasure, so that Gu Shi'an and Sister Du could tidy up and make a backup on the computer by the way when they were tidying up, so that they could find it when they needed it.
This is tantamount to increasing the workload of the two, and Sister Du complained. Gu Shi'an went to buy her coffee at noon, so that she could rest when she was tired and no one came, and she could come alone.
In the past few days, the children in Sister Du's family are sick, and she has to stay up all night when she goes back every night.
She and Chang Yan really thought too simple before, they didn't know what the previous project information was like, and they had to slowly rummage through it to confirm. With so many sources out there, it can be difficult to find one that you don't know what it is, even if you have enough time.
She knew that being able to enter this archive room openly and honestly had something to do with Chen Xiao. Although she didn't know what Chen Xiao was going to do, at this time, even if it was a trap set by others, she had to jump inside. Because, if you miss this time, it will obviously be more difficult to find out.
She asked Sister Du to rest, and she sorted it out alone, and the progress was slow. Fortunately, the above also knew that it was not easy to sort out these old materials, but no one urged them.
Although he came in openly, no one knew what would happen in the next second, Gu Shi'an was in a hurry to eat, and he went back here directly after eating.
Sister Du didn't suspect anything, only when she completed the work of two people alone, she was afraid of being blamed by the above. It was much better for her, and I made snacks from home and brought them to her.
She didn't mean to be lazy, but she couldn't sleep well at home, and she couldn't do things with the energy to do things. probably felt that Gu Shi'an was very kind, and the relationship between the two was much better for a while.
Weekends are a rare rest, Chen Xiao went on a business trip on Friday, Gu Shi'an was worried about the old lady's health, and got up early in the morning and went to the villa.
The old lady was not surprised that she would come, and asked her aunt to prepare food for her with a smile. asked why Chen Xiao couldn't come.
Gu Shi'an replied that Chen Xiao was on a business trip.
Chen Xiao was not there, and the old lady didn't urge her to go back, so that she would accompany her here at night.
Gu Shi'an responded with a smile.
The old lady's mental complexion is much better, and she is probably lonely to stay here, chattering with Gu Shi'an.
She used to rarely mention Gu Shi'an's father and grandfather, but today she mentioned it quite a lot. There is always a smile on his face.
Gu Shi'an had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face. Waiting for the old lady to take a nap before quietly asking the aunt. Ask the old lady if there's anything wrong lately.
The aunt probably guessed why she asked that, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, the old lady is fine, it's fine." She sighed and said, "There are few people here, and the old lady is lonely. Watching you come over naturally talks a lot. She has been staying in the study a lot lately, and all the things in the study are the things of the old man's life, and she must not help but mention it. And not because of anything else. ”
She said that Gu Shi'an's heart was sour, when her children and grandchildren were around her knees, she lived here alone, how could she not feel lonely and lonely?
The old lady was stubborn and refused to go back to live with her. Probably because she was afraid that those people would make trouble with her.
Gu Shi'an's heart was mixed, and he squeezed out a smile. I heard that the old lady often stayed in the study, so I talked to my aunt and went to the study.
The study here is clean and tidy, and there are many books on the shelves. I don't know what the old lady usually reads, and the desk is clean, and there are no books on it.
Although most of the books in the collection here are collected by the old man, there are few things really related to the old man, only a few copied calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.
Probably when the old man passed away, she was still young, and she didn't have a deep impression of the old man, only vaguely remembered that the old man was very serious, and he was often straight-faced, and the juniors in the family were afraid of her.
Gu Shi'an stayed in the study, slightly in a trance.
She had thought that when the old lady mentioned her father, there would be something more or less related to her father left in the study. But it didn't.
The old lady was asleep, and she was not in a hurry to go out, she stayed for a long time, and estimated that the old lady was about to wake up, so she went out.
She doesn't sleep alone at night, she has to sleep with the old lady. The old lady smiled and agreed.
This time, I didn't make a bunk on the floor, and I didn't take out the simple bed, and slept directly on the old lady's bed.
The old lady gently stroked her head, and said with a kind smile: "I used to sleep with my grandmother when I was only so tall, but in a blink of an eye, it was so big, and time flies so fast." ”
Gu Shi'an put his head next to the old lady's shoulder, closed his eyes and said, "I still remember that at that time, every night when I went to bed, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to sleep, and you would gently pat me." ”
The old lady's expression was a little dazed, and then she smiled slightly. said: "Grandma still wants to hug her grandson, you are not too young, what are you planning to have a child with Chen Xiao?" ”
Where did Gu Shi'an think that she would suddenly shift the topic to the child, her body stiffened slightly, and she said coquettishly: "Grandma, this kind of thing has to be fate." It's not who has the final say. ”
The old lady sighed softly and said, "Last time I asked Chen Xiao, he said the same thing. ”
Her old man actually asked Chen Xiao. Gu Shi'an couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Before she could say anything, the old lady reached out and held her hand, and said worriedly: "It's been so long, why haven't you reacted at all." Did you go to the hospital to prescribe some medicine to recuperate your body? Grandma knows an old Chinese medicine doctor who is more professional in this area, grandma will call tomorrow to make an appointment, and you and Chen Xiao will go over to have a look. Both of them recuperate together. Although you are still young, your work and rest time is irregular, and Chen Xiao has to socialize again......"
Where did Gu Shi'an think that the old lady would let him go to the doctor, he secretly complained bitterly, but he didn't dare to show it at all. hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't worry about this, we know it." ”
