She was extremely annoyed, and such entanglement also made her tired. She was extremely powerless at this moment, and she didn't even know what Chen Xiao wanted.

Chen Xiao on the bed didn't know if he was really drunk or what, obviously he didn't feel her annoyance. He raised his eyelids to look at her, and then closed his eyes directly.

In the middle of the night, Gu Shi'an no longer had the energy to wake him up and drive him out. Since he wants to stay, let him stay.

The person on the bed didn't move, she got dressed without saying a word, and then slammed the door and went out.

It's past one o'clock in the morning, and it's quiet in both the corridor and the entire community. She stood at the window of the hallway, and the cold wind blew in and cleared her mind.

She had nowhere to go, but she came out with a purse. She opened her wallet, and her ID card was still there. She didn't go back and went straight downstairs.

Although it was late, the hotel outside the community was still open. Guarding the front desk was a young man playing a game.

It was about the right time to get to the key point, and it took three or four minutes. Only then did he stand up and open the room for Gu Shi'an. Now is not the peak season, there are many vacant rooms in the hotel, Gu Shi'an chose a second-floor one, and went upstairs with the key.

She slept well, but after such a toss, it was in a strange place, where could she still sleep, looking at the white ceiling of the hotel with her eyes open.

The waiting time for dawn is undoubtedly long, and every minute and second passes so slowly. Gu Shi'an just lay motionless, until the window lit up, and she turned her head sideways to look. Then I got up and washed up with the disposable toiletries in the hotel.

Chen Xiao was still there, and she didn't go back. After returning the deposit, I went to the breakfast shop across the road to have breakfast.

She woke up early, and the morning streets were much quieter than usual. Sanitation workers are sweeping the roads, with the occasional vehicle passing by.

There were only three or two customers in the breakfast shop, Gu Shi'an sat down and asked for a fritter and a bowl of hot soy milk.

I didn't sleep much all night, but the hot soy milk lifted her spirits. It was only seven o'clock after eating, and she looked down at the time and walked towards the bus stop.

At this time, there were still few people, and she didn't sleep all night, and her temples suddenly jumped, and she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. It wasn't until I heard the voice reminder to arrive at the station that I got off the train.

There's a 24-hour library in the city center, and it's still early, but it's already full of people. I don't know if I came early or if I was there all the time.

It was quiet inside, and Gu Shi'an unconsciously relaxed his steps. Rows and rows of books on the shelves.

She hadn't been to a bookstore in a long time. After work, she never came back except for the occasional visit to look for information.

Standing in front of the bookshelf, she was distracted for a moment before pulling one of the books out of the shelf. Then I found a place to sit down and watch.

Probably because I didn't sleep well, my eyes were astringent after looking at it for a while. She sat for a moment, then took the book in her hand and went to pay the bill.

As she walked out of the bookstore, her cell phone rang. She took out her mobile phone, and the caller ID turned out to be her second uncle's. She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Although she has the contact information of her second uncle in her hand, in fact, over the years, he has called only a handful of times.

The mobile phone rang tirelessly, Gu Shi'an came back to his senses, picked up the phone, fed it, and called the second uncle.

Gu Chengde on the other end of the phone looked like an elder kindly, and after a few polite greetings, he asked, "Where are you, the second uncle has something to talk to you about." ”

He called, naturally not to ask about Gu Shi'an's current life. He was not surprised at all when he proposed to meet Gu Shi'an, and said: "I'm outside now, you say, I'll just go over." ”

Yes, how can there be elders who will be juniors.

Gu Chengde pretended to say a few polite words for the driver to pick up, and then gave the address to Gu Shi'an.

It's not the weekend, he has to go to work. Gu Shi'an originally thought that he would ask him to meet near the Gu family, but he didn't. It's even far away from Gu's.

Gu Shi'an didn't remember the last time his second uncle called him, it should have been when she first moved out of the Gu family's old house. Gu Su scolded her very much for being a wild seed, and the old lady lost her temper. Probably in order to leave a fair and impartial image in the old lady's heart, he scolded Gu Su, then called her, asked her to go back, and forced Gu Su to apologize to her in front of the old lady. and said that he would definitely discipline Gu Su well in the future, and would not let her speak disrespectfully.

Looking back on the past, it feels like a century has passed. After hanging up the phone, Gu Shi'an couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

Her second uncle's family has never been profitable. He'll call her personally, and it's definitely not going to be a good thing.

Gu Shi'an took a breath, looked at the time, and stood on the side of the road to stop the car.

She couldn't think of anything her second uncle could talk to her, and the only thing she could talk about was probably the shares in the old lady's hand. Gu Shi'an closed his eyes.

It's rare not to get stuck in traffic early in the morning, and Gu Chengde has already arrived when Gu Shi'an arrived. asked the driver to wait outside the café, and when he saw Gu Shi'an, he took her to the private room upstairs.

He was still on the phone when he knocked on the door and entered, and when he saw Gu Shi'an's chubby face, he immediately smiled. hung up the phone directly, and then beckoned Gu Shi'an to sit down.

Gu Shi'an politely called the second uncle, and then sat down opposite him.

Gu Shi'an asked her about some trivial things in daily life, and asked her what she was eating. And said that girls like to eat desserts, let her pick up her favorite points, and he has a treat today.

He was very polite, but Gu Shi'an couldn't refuse, so he had to order a dessert.

Gu Chengde said a few words, he is her second uncle, no need to be polite. Then he sighed that Gu Shi'an was much more sensible than Gu Su.

He went around like this, Gu Shi'an didn't know what he was going to say, so he could only laugh.

Gu Chengde praised her for a while, suddenly sighed, looked at Gu Shi'an, and said, "You kid, you are too sensible." ”

He turned too fast this time, and Gu Shi'an didn't react for a while. He then said: "I have heard about your company, you kid, why do you only know to hide it from the second uncle when you encounter such a big trouble?" ”

Yes, it wasn't a big fire, but it wasn't small. He had to know that it was sooner or later. It's just, the entire Gu family. Except for the old lady, they were all afraid that she would cause them trouble, and I don't know how he would take the initiative to bring up this trouble today.

There was a look of concern on his chubby face. Gu Shi'an smiled faintly and said, "You are already very busy, how can I trouble you again." ”

Gu Chengde pretended to be annoyed and glared at her at this time, and said, "You kid, no matter how busy the second uncle is, it doesn't matter to you!" ”

When he said such a hypocritical remark, his face did not blush. Gu Shi'an couldn't find anything to say, but before she could speak, Gu Chengde then said: "Remember to tell the second uncle if you have something in the future." Don't do it alone. ”

He looked bitter.

Gu Shi'an had no choice but to nod.

I thought he was going to ask her about the company, but he didn't. He took a sip of coffee and asked, "I heard Gu Su say, you have a conflict with Chen Xiao?" ”

This topic was a little far away all of a sudden, and without waiting for Gu Shi'an to speak, he sighed, and then said: "The Chen family's family background is good, but ......" He paused, and then said: "After so many years, I have indeed wronged you." It's not true to be entertained on the spot, but this time, Chen Xiao is really excessive. I didn't believe it when Xiao Su said it, but a few days ago I saw him at a drinking party with the surname Li, which is the first love that Xiao Su said, and the two of them ...... in front of me."

It's probably inconvenient to continue, and he said it vaguely. There was a sad look on his face.

Gu Shi'an, who was going around and around, didn't know what he was saying, and didn't speak, he lowered his head and forked the dessert in front of him with a fork.

She lowered her head, and Gu Chengde couldn't see the expression on her face. After a slight pause, he asked, "I heard that you have moved back to the old house?" ”

This tone is not a temptation. It's a statement. I don't know who he listened to, but he put in a lot of effort to call her.

Gu Shi'an didn't know what he had to show to suit his wishes, so he squeezed out a reluctant smile on his face and said, "I haven't been back for a long time, I'm just going back to live for a few days." ”

Gu Chengde slapped the table and said, "Don't lie to the second uncle." Chen Xiao is too much, if you want to divorce, the second uncle will definitely support you. He was so openly with that woman, he just didn't take our Gu family seriously! ”

He was indignant. It seems that he has completely forgotten how Chen Xiao scolded him and talked to him the last time he went to Gu's house.

Gu Shi'an's heart was calm, she couldn't make a play, so she lowered her head and didn't say anything.

Gu Chengde sighed, and then said, "You kid, you are too tolerant. Chen Xiao obviously can't change that, since you have already moved out, don't move back in. I discussed with my second aunt that if you don't want to stay here after you divorce him, you will go abroad to study for a while. The second uncle hasn't taken good care of you over the years, and when you go abroad this time, the money will be paid by the second uncle. And your company, don't worry, isn't it just burning a data room, I have friends who know your boss, how much does he want, and the second uncle will pay for you. ”

He looked like he was wealthy, and he directly buttoned the hat that set fire to Gu Shi'an's head. Didn't even ask her. What's going on with that fire.

This kind of Gu family is the Gu family that Gu Shi'an is familiar with.

Gu Shi'an's heart was cold. I don't know what Gu Chengde wants to do. He had always been known for slamming the door, always on the lookout for what good things she would take from the old lady. Otherwise, every time she returned to the old house, the family would keep an eye on her.

Gu Shi'an squeezed out a reluctant smile from his face and said, "How can you trouble the second uncle, I will take care of my own affairs." You don't have to worry. ”

"I'm your second uncle, and your affairs are just like Gu Su and Gu Qian's. The second uncle should be worried. You're just too polite. As he spoke, the phone rang. He took it out and looked at it, but didn't take it. Then he said: "What the second uncle said, you should think about it. When you think about it, call the second uncle. You have resigned now, and when you come back from your studies, more companies want you. ”

The call should have been urging him, and he stood up as he spoke, saying, "I have to leave beforehand, let the driver take you back." Remember to think about calling the second uncle. ”

He was in a hurry, and without waiting for Gu Shi'an to speak, he walked out quickly.

Gu Shi'an sat in his position and didn't move, looking at the coffee in the cup. Gu Chengde went around in a circle, probably to send her abroad for further study.

Studying abroad, that costs money. Where could he be so generous and give her a sum of money for nothing?

Gu Shi'an couldn't figure it out, and he didn't know what he wanted to do. She knew very little about Gu's affairs, and there must be a reason why Gu Chengde was suddenly like this. She didn't think about it anymore, sat for a while, and then got up and went out.

Gu Chengde had settled the bill, and when she went out, she saw the driver who had taken her to the private room waiting at the door. When he left, he asked the driver to send her, Gu Shi'an originally thought it was a kind word. I didn't expect him to really let the driver stay.

Gu Shi'an is just an orphan girl in the Gu family, whether it is her eldest uncle, second uncle, or third uncle, the people around her do not look at her with serious eyes. Even if there is politeness, the politeness is superficial.

Today, Gu Chengde probably said hello in advance, and the driver was respectful. Seeing Gu Shi'an open his mouth, he said: "Miss, Mr. Gu has explained, I will send you where you go." ”

Gu Shi'an didn't dare to accept his intentions, smiled faintly, and said, "No, you go and do your job." I'm not going anywhere yet. Just take a stroll around here. ”

The driver's face showed a look of embarrassment, and he wanted to say something. Gu Shi'an didn't wait for him to speak, and then said: "You go back and tell my second uncle the truth, he won't blame you." ”

Where would he blame him, the words he dropped for him to send her were just kind words.

Only then did the driver's face show a smile, and he said a few polite words to Gu Shi'an, and then got in the car and left.

Gu Shi'an looked at the time, and then walked to the bus stop.

Gu Chengde would not come to her for no reason, but she knew very little about the Gu family. She originally wanted to call Qin Tang to ask, but her hand touched the mobile phone, and she didn't call in the end. After standing at the bus stop for a while, she got on the bus.

When she went back, it was already past noon, and she didn't know if Chen Xiao was still there. I ate outside and then went back.

I took out the key and opened the door, but it was deserted. Gu Shi'an went to the bedroom and saw that Chen Xiao had already left, took out his mobile phone, and called the master who changed the lock.

She had nothing to do while she stayed, and went online trying to find some news about the Gu family from the Internet. Gu's public relations is good, and there is no news on the Internet. Even the news that the old lady was going to throw away the shares in her hand was more than a week ago.

His head was swollen terribly, and he didn't find any news, so Gu Shi'an closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Originally, she just wanted to close her eyes and be quiet, but probably because she didn't sleep much last night, she fell asleep in a daze when she closed her eyes.

She was awakened by the ringing of the phone, and her mind was still a little confused, and when she picked up the mobile phone and saw that it was the master who changed the lock, she quickly picked up the phone.

The person was already outside the door, she hung up the phone, went out quickly and opened the door.

It was not very troublesome to change the lock, so the master checked it and suggested that she change it to a more expensive anti-theft lock. It was said that her current lock was too simple for the thief to open with little effort.

He talked a lot, and when he changed the locks, he talked about several thefts. and taught Gu Shi'an some common sense of anti-theft. In the end, he asked Gu Shi'an's friends to call him if he needed to change the locks, and he would definitely give him a preferential price.

Gu Shi'an agreed, poured him a cup of tea, and was relieved when he paid for him to go out.

It's idle to stay at home, and the house hasn't been cleaned for a long time. She tried the new locks a few times, and then cleaned up.

Before she finished cleaning, Qin Tang called. Ask her where she is.

Probably because he was afraid that something would happen to her alone, and the frequency of his calls to her during this time was high.

Gu Shi'an replied that he was at home.

Qin Tang said that he was downstairs and asked her to go downstairs.

He said he was downstairs, but he was actually outside the community. When Gu Shi'an passed, he was standing next to the car smoking a cigarette, and he didn't know what he was thinking, until Gu Shi'an got closer, and he came back to his senses. Said a word.

Before Gu Shi'an could speak, he opened the car door and said, "Get in the car." ”

Gu Shi'an was stunned and looked at him.

Qin Tang's face showed a rare smile, looked at her, and said slowly: "What, I'm afraid I'll sell you?" ”

Gu Shi'an shook his head, touched his nose, and got into the car.

Qin Tang didn't take a driver, he drove by himself. After fastening his seat belt, Gu Shi'an asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Qin Tang didn't answer, but said, "You'll know when you arrive." ”

Gu Shi'an was silent now. She was a little absent-minded, and she started to sit in a daze.

The car stopped at the red light intersection, Qin Tang glanced sideways at her and asked, "Something?" ”

Gu Shi'an came back to his senses and quickly shook his head.

Qin Tang didn't ask much, and turned on the lights when the green light arrived.

Gu Shi'an couldn't figure out how Gu Chengde was looking for her today and wanted to send her to study abroad. After being bored for a while, she still spoke: "My second uncle came to look for me today." ”

Qin Tang probably didn't have a good impression of the Gu family, his brows furrowed at this moment, he looked sideways at her, and asked, "What is he looking for you?" ”

Gu Shi'an smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know, I went around in a big circle, and inexplicably said that I was going to send me abroad for further study." ”

Qin Tang's brows furrowed even tighter now. After a while, he looked at Gu Shi'an and asked, "Didn't you say anything else?" ”

"Nope."

Qin Tang didn't speak for a while, as if he was thinking about something. than him. Gu Shi'an knew Gu Chengde better, was silent for a while, and asked, "Do you know what changes the Gu family has had recently?" ”

Qin Tang shook his head and said, "I haven't heard any news for the time being. ”

But there are some internal information that outsiders may not know.

Gu Shi'an couldn't figure it out. Suddenly, I remembered Gu Chengde's words that the fire was set out. She broke out in a cold sweat all of a sudden.

Qin Tang obviously noticed her abnormality, so he simply stopped the car on the side of the road and asked, "What did you think of?" ”

Gu Shi'an restrained himself and calmed down, and said Gu Chengde's original words again.

Qin Tang's brows furrowed and he asked, "Do you suspect that he has something to do with the arson?" ”

Gu Shi'an shook his head and said, "It's just that it suddenly occurred to him that he has no motive. ”

Yes, he has no motive.

Qin Tang fell silent at this moment, and said after a while: "Any thought will become a motive. He didn't say anything more, let Gu Shi'an sit, and then got out of the car and made a call.

He had been on the phone for a long time, and he couldn't hear what he was saying outside in the car, but his brow never let go.

After ten minutes, he got into the car. He didn't drive right away, but closed his tent for a while, and then asked, "Did you suspect them when you were kidnapped last time?" ”

This is a question that should have been asked a long time ago. But after all, those people were Gu Shi'an's relatives, and he never asked.

That time, they wanted Gu Shi'an to be starved to death. And once Gu Shi'an has an accident, the real beneficiaries are them.

As we all know, the old lady has always loved Gu Shi'an. If something happens to Gu Shi'an, it will be tantamount to cutting off the old lady's way to give the shares to Gu Shi'an.

Gu Shi'an was a little distracted, and after a long time, he said in a low voice: "I don't know." ”

It had been so long that she hadn't even thought about it. Although he was already disheartened, he was still scared in the end.

Qin Tang naturally knew her thoughts, so he fell silent and did not speak.

Instead, Gu Shi'an came back to his senses first and asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

If he hadn't found anything, he wouldn't have asked this.

Qin Tang didn't speak for a while. After a while, he said lightly: "There are still no clues." ”

Although there are no clues, after thinking about this matter, the most suspicious person is the Gu family.

Whoever gains the most is the biggest suspect.

Gu Shi'an was a little distracted and didn't speak again.

Qin Tang didn't speak, sat for a while, raised his wrist to look at the time, and then started the car.

He didn't say where he was going for the rest of the day, and he didn't say anything more. It wasn't until he arrived at the ground that he stopped the car and asked Gu Shi'an to get out of the car.
