They both spoke, and no one in the living room spoke.

The old lady had no expression on her face, picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Auntie has prepared the dishes you all like to eat since yesterday, eat first." ”

As soon as she spoke, both of them were a little stumbling. But Gu Shi'an's eldest aunt stood up and said that she was going to help in the kitchen. Xu Jiarong also happened to take advantage of this step to go down to the kitchen to help.

The old lady had obviously not seen anyone before, but suddenly called everyone over. Nature won't be gratuitous.

But no one knew what the old lady was going to say, but with the attentive Gu Chengde and his wife in front of him, no one mentioned anything or asked more. He asked about the old lady's body.

The old lady brought it over with a sentence.

Gu Shi'an's aunts all went to the kitchen, and she naturally had to follow to help. When she entered the Gu family, it was obvious that everyone was unhappy, but I don't know if it was because of Chen Xiaozai or something else, her aunts didn't even show their faces to her when they got along alone, and they were the same as before.

Gu Su watched her keep sneering, and after Xu Jiarong secretly pinched her, she reluctantly put away the sneer on the corner of her mouth.

When they arrived, my aunt was already preparing lunch, and now everyone helped, and the meal was put on the table in a short time.

Almost everyone was here today, and there was a big table full of seats. I don't know what the old lady is asking everyone to come over, a group of people have their own thoughts. I didn't eat much.

After eating and drinking tea, Gu Chengde coughed and said, "Mom, you will go back with us today." It is...... Xiao Su is getting engaged, if you don't have it, where can I do it. ”

The old lady didn't know if she had heard the rumor of Gu Su's engagement or something, but she was not surprised at all when she heard this, she glanced at Gu Chengde lightly, and said, "Tell me when you're about to get engaged, why can't you do it without me?" ”

Gu Chengde's face was a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly said: "I wanted to tell you some time ago, but I forgot about it as soon as I had a lot of things." ”

This is obviously perfunctory.

The old lady took a sip of tea from the teacup and said, "I'm this age, and you have long been the masters of the house, so you can make your own decisions about the marriage of your children." ”

probably didn't expect the old lady to reveal the matter like this, Gu Chengde couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As soon as she was about to say something, the old lady said, "I have called all of you here today because I have something to tell you. ”

There was no sound in the living room for a while, and the old lady's eyes swept over, and then she spoke: "When the doctor came some time ago, he said that I should recuperate, and I will live here in the future and not return to the old house." You're all busy, leave me alone. If you have time in the future, just come over once at the end of the month. ”

No one thought that the old lady would say this, and she couldn't react for a while. However, Xu Jiarong reacted first and said, "Mom, you have lived in the old mansion all your life, how can you live here." After all, this side is not as convenient as the old house, how can you stay here? Besides, if you live here alone, what will outsiders say about us? You say yes, sister-in-law? ”

Xu Jiarong looked at Gu Shi'an's aunt Cheng Xin as he spoke.

In this matter, they are undoubtedly all in a unified way.

Cheng Xin nodded and said euphemistically: "It's really inappropriate for you to be alone here, if you don't feel comfortable, you won't even have someone to take care of you." You will go back with us this time, there has been no one living here, and it is not suitable for you to live here. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady said, "The doctor said that she should recuperate, and this is the most suitable place." A little tiredness appeared between her eyebrows, and she stopped the people who were still talking, and said, "No need to say any more, I have already decided." ”

Her tone was resolute. Everyone looked at each other for a moment.

Without waiting for all the people to speak, the old lady continued, "I have called you here, and there is one more thing. In the past, whether it was Gu Lan or your other marriages, it was a dowry prepared by me. If I don't care about anything now, it's unfair to those who aren't married. I will treat everyone equally, and while you are here, I will give you all the bride price and dowry that you have not yet married. Auntie, bring me the list I prepared. ”

The old lady gave an order, and the aunt quickly took over several lists.

The old lady handed two copies to Xu Jiarong and one to Gu Chengyun, and said, "Whether it's a grandson or a granddaughter, it's the same." ”

Her move made everyone scratch their heads, and no one spoke for a while.

The weddings of the grandchildren who are already married are all organized by the old lady, and the subsidy money is given to the unmarried, which no one can fault wrong.

The huge living room was very quiet for a while, but Gu Chengping was the first to speak, saying, "We have no objection to you living here, but you have to have someone take care of you." Look, why don't I take turns with the second and third to take care of you? In this way, you are clean, and we are also assured. ”

As soon as he said that, Gu Chengde and Gu Chengyun also hurriedly followed.

The old lady waved her hand and said, "No, I have a driver and an aunt here." I'm not at the point where I can't move. Needless to say, I've already decided. You have a lot of business, and I won't keep you any longer, so go and get busy. ”

Now that she had made up her mind, there was nothing she could do, so she had to go back and discuss.

Gu Shi'an was originally going to stay, but the old lady said: "Shi'an, you also go back, grandma is a little tired today and wants to rest." ”

The old ladies couldn't be clearer in their thoughts, if Gu Shi'an was left alone, maybe they would think they were giving her something good.

Now that she has entered the Gu family, Gu Shi'an naturally knows that they are all staring at her, so she reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said hello, telling the old lady that she would come to see her another day.

The old lady suddenly announced that she would live here in the future and would not return to the old mansion, which undoubtedly disrupted everyone. I probably wanted to go back and discuss countermeasures, but I left almost immediately.

Gu Shi'an and Chen Xiao were the last to go, she couldn't figure out the old lady's thoughts, and her heart was inexplicably heavy.

Chen Xiao glanced at her and said, "She knows what grandma is doing, so there's nothing to worry about." It's good that she lives alone here, at least she has less to worry about. ”

No, Gu Chengde's family is similar to a vampire, and from time to time they want to take some benefits from the old lady. Living here alone, Gu Su and Gu Qian's marriage fees have also been given, even if they want to come to the door, they have to think of an excuse first.

used to live together, under the guise of taking care of the old lady, and take any benefits from the old lady, the other two families turned a blind eye.

Now the old lady doesn't have anyone to take care of her, and if they come here more often, the two families will definitely have opinions.

Gu Shi'an didn't say anything now. But the old lady suddenly made this decision, her heart was uneasy, and she did not speak. Just sit in such a distraction.

Gu Shi'an's heart was heavy all day, and he didn't even cook. I stayed in my bedroom since I got back.

Dinner was a takeaway ordered by Chen Xiao, and seeing that Gu Shi'an was unrelenting, he said: "If you don't worry, call grandma later, she hasn't slept yet." ”

Gu Shi'an didn't say anything, and waited until he had finished eating and cleaned up the table, and then went back to the bedroom to call the old lady.

As Chen Xiao said, the old lady really hasn't slept yet. Soon the phone was picked up.

The old lady naturally knew that she was worried, and without waiting for her to ask anything, she said, "Don't worry, grandma is fine, and her health is fine." I'm living here alone, but it's a lot cleaner, if you don't feel at ease, you can often come over to accompany grandma. ”

After a slight pause, the old lady continued: "Grandma has her heart for most of her life, and now she doesn't want to care about anything." ”

There was a bit of tiredness in her tone, Gu Shi'an hesitated slightly, and asked, "Are you ......getting engaged because of Gu Su?"

The old lady was silent on the other end of the phone, and after a while, she said tiredly: "Grandma can't take care of them, and she doesn't want to care anymore." They can do whatever they want. ”

The old lady didn't stay on this topic anymore, and asked Gu Shi'an about some trivial things in life.

Gu Shi'an answered them one by one, and the old lady told her not to worry about it again on the other end of the phone, and then hung up the phone.

Today's incident, knowing that the old lady didn't mention it for no reason, Gu Shi'an was a little relieved.

She stood with her phone in hand for a moment before going to wash.

Gu Shi'an went to work at the company on Monday, and when he arrived at the door, he was stopped by Gu Su. She probably knew that it was not good to make trouble at the door of the company, so she said to Gu Shi'an with a cold face: "I have something to ask you." ”

She looked like she was gritting her teeth. Apparently he waited here early to stop her.

Gu Shi'an made her character clear, and she would not give up until she reached her goal. She didn't say a word, and followed her to the side.

Gu Su couldn't wait, and when he arrived at a place where there were a little fewer people, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Did you instigate grandma not to return to the old mansion?" ”

The old lady did not return to the old house, which had really damaged the interests of their family. No one thought that the old lady would say that she would not go back if she didn't go back.

Even if Gu Shi'an said no, she would not believe it. She looked at the time and saw that she was about to be late, so she said lightly: "If you think so, I can't help it." ”

Gu Su's teeth clenched even tighter, and said: "You don't pretend to be innocent here, grandma has always loved you the most, who knows if you fanned something in her ear." I'm telling you, no matter what you do, you'll never succeed! ”

She looked angry. It's just a matter of jumping.

During this time, probably because she was pressed, she was a lot more restrained. This time I was probably in a hurry.

Gu Shi'an didn't want to entangle with her, and said with a smile: "In this case, why are you still coming to me?" ”

After she finished speaking, she didn't care about Gu Su and went directly to the company.

felt that she had bewitched the old lady, and it should be Gu Su who was not the only one who made the old lady not return to the old mansion. But except for Gu Su, no one came to her. I don't know what I'm paying attention to.

Gu Shi'an's day was the same as before, in the morning, she went to the small building on the pretext of going to the bathroom, and found that the door there was hidden, and she didn't know if it was unlocked at night or what.

She also made a trip when she was about to leave work in the afternoon, probably before she could lock it, and the door was open.

Chen Xiao probably had something, and it was Assistant Sun who came to pick her up in the afternoon. She had just returned to her new house when her phone rang. It was a call from someone Qin Tang arranged in the Gu family.

She looked and picked up the phone.

As soon as he fed him, the person on the other end of the phone said, "Miss Gu, I have sent an email to your mailbox. If you turn it on next to your computer, take a look. Today I went to the personnel department to transfer the files of the former employees, and the portrait you gave is very similar to the portrait of the assistant next to your cousin Gu Qian. I've taken a photo, so you can compare it. ”

Since he said so, it must be the assistant beside Gu Qian.

Probably because he had already made assumptions, Gu Shi'an was not surprised. The man said that he was a former assistant, which means that this person is no longer in the Gu family.

Gu Shi'an was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Where is that person now?" ”

The person over there said: "After resigning some time ago, I heard that I opened a bar, and I have already sent the address in my mailbox. Take a look at what's going on. ”

Gu Shi'an agreed, thanked him, and quickly went to Chen Xiao's study and turned on the computer.

She was anxious to read the email, and when the computer was turned on, she realized that Chen Xiao's computer didn't know when the password was set.

She immediately typed in Chen Xiao's birthday, but the password was incorrect. She pursed her lips and typed in the old lady's birthday, still with the wrong password.

Although she knew it was impossible, she paused and entered her birthday anyway. The password was as wrong as she expected.

She couldn't figure out what password Chen Xiao would set, so she hesitated for a moment and entered the wedding anniversary of the two. Now the computer is turned on.

Gu Shi'an herself was stunned for a while, and then she landed in her own mailbox.

Sure enough, there was a new email lying inside, which had been sent to her five minutes ago.

The email was simple, containing only a photo of the man and his current address.

Probably there was a problem with the description, and the photo of the person was not quite the same as what she had drawn, and it was fatter. But judging from one outline alone, it is similar.

She quickly printed out the photos she had sent and jotted down the address. She didn't call Chang Yan right away, and planned to go over and have a look first.

The man runs a bar, and when the night is open, she just pretends to be a guest, and she can meet the person as long as the person is there.

But since the man had kidnapped her, he must have known her. She changed into an inconspicuous outfit and put on her hat again, and then went out.

The man's bar was on the other side of Xinjie, and Gu Shi'an took a taxi directly when he went out. She wasn't familiar with this area, and although the address was quite detailed, she couldn't find it at once.

She was about to ask someone when her phone rang. She took out her mobile phone, the call was from Chen Xiao, she didn't answer, and hung up directly.

Chen Xiao didn't stop there, and immediately called again. Gu Shi'an looked at the number jumping on his mobile phone, and still picked up the phone.

Chen Xiao didn't know where it was, so he asked, "Where are you?" ”

His tone was unusually harsh.

Gu Shi'an didn't tell him, he was silent for a while, and said, "Outside." ”

"Give me the address, stay still, I'll come right over." As if knowing that Gu Shi'an would not listen to him, he paused slightly, and then said, "If you don't want to alarm the old lady, give me the address immediately." If I don't see you, I'll call the old lady right away. ”

There was a hint of joking in his tone.

Gu Shi'an knew that he had done it, so he held the phone tightly, and finally let go and gave him the address here.

Chen Xiao seemed to have started the car and said that he would come over as soon as possible and ask her to find a place to sit and wait for her.

The neighborhood looks a little deserted, except for a food stall with a simple shed in the distance. She then walked over and asked for something to eat.

The food stalls are deserted, with only one table of customers. Gu Shi'an didn't eat and asked for a fried noodle.

Although there was no one to watch, the boss and his wife didn't stop at all, fiddling with the ingredients. It's probably the evening party when it's busy.

Chen Xiao came over quickly, and Gu Shi'an's fried noodles had just finished eating, and his car stopped on the side of the road. Then he opened the car door and walked over to her.

He didn't ask anything, glanced at Gu Shi'an, and said, "Where are you going?" Let's go. ”

He has the trump card of the old lady in his hand, and Gu Shi'an will say whatever he asks. But he didn't even ask anything.

Since he has come over, this matter naturally cannot be hidden from him. Gu Shi'an showed him the address he had written down.

Chen Xiao's brows furrowed slightly, looked around, and then took out his mobile phone and started calling.

He was asking for the specific address of the bar, and he didn't know who he was calling, so he hung up the phone after a short time and said to Gu Shi'an, "Let's go." ”

He was obviously conspicuous in this way, and after saying a word, he reversed himself to the side of the car, took a cap from the car and put it on.

He didn't look around like Gu Shi'an, and walked straight ahead.

The bar was unremarkable, in the basement of a small alley. In such a remote place, I thought there were not many guests, but who knew that it was not. There were a lot of people inside, and in the dim and ambiguous light, only human heads could be seen.

There was a deafening DJ in the bar, Chen Xiao looked around, and said in a low voice in Gu Shi'an's ear: "Follow me later, don't walk around." ”

There was only one bartender at the bar, and he looked, walked over, and asked for two drinks. pushed a cup to Gu Shi'an.

Gu Shi'an held the wine, but he didn't drink much, pretending to look around casually. The man must have not come, and he was not seen.

Chen Xiao was like a person who really came to play, drank a glass of wine, asked the bartender for a drink, and then talked about it without a match.

As he spoke, he praised the decoration of the bar and praised the owner of the shop for his good taste.

The bartender smiled and said that it was the first time that a guest had boasted so much, and the boss would be very happy if he heard it.

Chen Xiao then asked if the boss was here, and he looked around as he spoke.

The bar said that the owner hadn't come yet, and he didn't come every day, but if he did, he usually came around eleven o'clock.

It's only nine o'clock, and I'll have to wait two hours until eleven o'clock.

Chen Xiao nodded, sat at the bar for a while, and took Gu Shi'an to the crowd.

He quickly found an inconspicuous spot where he could see the situation at the bar.

At the bar, he was drinking very happily, but now he didn't drink much, playing with the wine glass in his hand.

The music around is loud, and you have to speak loudly to be heard. A mess.

The waiting time was long, I don't know if the fried noodles were not clean or what, after sitting for a long time, Gu Shi'an's stomach throbbed.

The pain was a little terrible, she pressed her stomach for a while, stood up, and said to Chen Xiao, "I'll go to the bathroom." ”

As soon as she stood up, Chen Xiao also stood up. Where to go to the bathroom to ask someone to follow, she hurriedly said: "I'll go by myself, and I'll come back here to find you in a while." ”

Chen Xiao didn't know if he heard or not, so he took the lead in the direction of the bathroom.

Walking into the hallway, the deafening music was finally quieter. The stomach hurt even more, and Gu Shi'an almost trotted to the bathroom.

It was still so far away from the bathroom, so Chen Xiao grabbed her and said, "I'll wait for you here, call me if you have something." ”

Gu Shi'an nodded hurriedly and walked quickly to the bathroom.

There was someone in the bathroom, two girls standing together smoking cigarettes. Seeing someone entering, he just raised his eyelids, and then began to speak.

The two didn't know where they were, they spoke in dialects, and Gu Shi'an couldn't understand them. Her stomach hurt so badly that she didn't pay attention.

She really ate her stomach and stayed in the bathroom for about ten minutes, until the pain in her stomach was relieved, and then she went out.

The two girls were still there, and they didn't look at Gu Shi'an now. Gu Shi'an went to the side to wash his hands, looked up and saw the two people in the mirror, and was startled.

The expressions on the faces of the two were pleasant, but the pupils were dilated. She didn't look carefully just now, but when she looked in the mirror at this moment, she found that the faces of the two were a little abnormally white. Where is smoking.

I actually smoked this thing in the bathroom in the open, and it seems that this is not the first time.

Gu Shi'an tried his best to keep himself calm, and rushed his hand without squinting, and then walked out.
