Chapter 137: Choking to death

He had a smile on his face, and the old lady couldn't see anything wrong.

But since the young couple have already met, they should get along alone anyway. Although Chen Xiao had already said no, she still asked Gu Shi'an to send him off.

Gu Shi'an was afraid that her old man would think too much, so he had to stand up and send Chen Xiao out.

There were no people on this side of the villa, and the huge yard was empty. Only the cool light remained.

When Gu Shi'an stood out and looked up at the sky, he realized that there was a moon in the sky. Hanging in the sky.

After going out, Chen Xiao didn't say a word, just walked to the parking place, and then pulled the car door and sat in. Soon the car was started.

Gu Shi'an also had nothing to say, he originally wanted to leave immediately, but he was afraid that the old lady would worry, so he didn't go back after all.

It wasn't until the car drove out of the yard that she turned back into the house.

The old lady was telling her aunt to make the bed for Gu Shi'an, and when she saw her go in, she asked her aunt to do it, and then asked with a smile: "Chen Xiao is gone?" ”

Gu Shi'an nodded. He replied, "Gone." ”

The old lady looked at her kindly and said, "Don't blame her for grandma's coming, I asked him not to tell you." I'll stay here for a few days and then go back. ”

He was afraid of a gap between the two.

Gu Shi'an smiled and shook his head. She paused, then asked, "Why did you suddenly think of staying here?" Isn't it ......"

She looked at the old lady with worry in her tone.

The old lady patted her hand lightly, smiled kindly and said, "Don't think nonsense, grandma just wants to be clean and clean." I'll be back in a few days. ”

Gu Shi'an knew that things were not so simple, but he knew that if the old lady didn't plan to tell her, she wouldn't be able to ask. He nodded.

She was afraid that the news of her resignation would reach the ears of the old lady, so she hesitated for a while, but still told her about her resignation. and said that Chang Yan plans to open a store.

I thought the old lady was going to say something, but the old lady didn't say anything. looked at her kindly and told her to do whatever she wanted. Call her if you need help.

She wasn't surprised, Gu Shi'an was a little skeptical that Chen Xiao had already told her. The thought was only a fleeting thought. She nodded, smiled and said yes.

The old lady's schedule is relatively fixed, and she goes to rest at nine o'clock. Gu Shi'an couldn't sleep, and when he washed up and saw that his aunt hadn't slept yet, he knocked on the left side and asked why the old lady came here.

The aunt looked at the old lady's room, but she didn't hide it from Gu Shi'an, and told Gu Chengde about crying and being poor, and asking the old lady about Gu Qian's Gu Su's marriage expenses.

When grandchildren get married, the old lady subsidy is due. But Gu Chengde said that he wanted to get married, but the old lady had never even seen the marriage partner of the two.

After asking, her second aunt said that although she doesn't answer now. But it will be knotted later. With this money, they will only save.

This is clearly an excuse to ask the old lady for money. The old lady did not respond and did not should. Who knew that the two of them cried in front of the old lady every now and then, the company was in a recession, and the stock market was so deep that the excuses were used. There is no time to be pure. The old lady simply moved out.

Gu Shi'an didn't speak, which is actually not surprising. The old lady is old, and it is only a matter of time before she makes a will.

The family wanted to take something more from the old lady's hand before the will was made, which was too normal to be normal.

Otherwise, they have been guarding the old mansion for so many years.

For these things, Gu Shi'an is powerless. She was silent. I didn't go back to my room, but opened the door and went out into the courtyard.

The moonlight outside was cold, spilling over every corner of the yard. She sat down on the stone staircase beside her, looking up at the moon in the sky.

She hated her powerlessness, and she couldn't even help the old lady share even a little bit.

She sat outside for a long time, until her body was cold, and then she went back into the house.

The old lady is alone here, so she naturally wants to stay with the old lady. After only two days, the old lady urged her to go back and do her work. Leave her alone.

She is in a good state of mind, and she spends her days in the backyard with flowers and plants, and then plants some vegetables of this season, and every day this time is passed.

Although she said that she would go back after a few days, in fact she did not mention going back. Although she is lonely here, she is much more reassuring than in the old mansion.

She hesitated for a moment and said she would come back on the weekend.

The old lady smiled and agreed, and asked her aunt to take the dim sum and the braised pork and other dishes that were made, and asked Gu Shi'an to take them back, saying that Chen Xiao praised the braised pork made by her aunt last time.

Gu Shi'an originally wanted to say no, but seeing the old lady's full smile, he finally didn't say no and took the thing.

When she went back, it was already evening, and the things had already been taken, and she didn't plan to send them to Chen Xiao. I'm afraid that the old lady will ask.

She didn't want to call Chen Xiao, so she called Assistant Sun directly and asked him if he was in the company. Her luck was quite good, and Assistant Sun over there replied yes.

Gu Shi'an simply said that she was downstairs in their company and asked him to come down and bring things to Chen Xiao.

Assistant Sun responded and asked Gu Shi'an to wait, and he came down immediately.

Gu Shi'an responded.

She originally thought that Assistant Sun would come down soon. But no, five minutes later, he was still nowhere to be seen at the door.

Gu Shi'an looked down at the time. Stand aside and wait.

It took more than ten minutes for the people above to come down, but it was not Assistant Sun who came down, but Chen Xiao. There was no expression on his face, and he asked coldly, "What's the matter?" ”

Gu Shi'an didn't expect it to be him, so he quickly came back to his senses, gave him the thermos box he was carrying in his hand and another cardboard box, and said, "This is what grandma brought to you." Here is braised pork, and over there is dim sum. ”

Hearing that it was something that the old lady asked to bring, Chen Xiao didn't say anything and took the bag.

He didn't say a word of nonsense, just like Gu Shi'an just came to run errands, took the things and turned around and went back to the company.

Gu Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, turned around and walked in the direction of the bus stop.

She stayed at the old lady's for two days, and as soon as she returned, she began to decorate the shop. Running around every day, she is very happy. There are potted plants in the store, and she personally selects them.

Chang Yan has resigned from the store, and the two of them are busy coming in and out every day. It's very fulfilling.

Although Chang Yan resigned, Qi Hantong often came to the store and pointed out the deficiencies. And together with Chang Yin, I started to develop the menu.

Time passed quickly, and during this period, Gu Shi'an ran to the old lady's side a few times. The old lady was in good spirits, and she didn't mention anything about coming back.

Gu Shi'an didn't mention it, and told the old lady about the progress of the decoration. And said that when it opened, let the old lady taste Chang Yin's craftsmanship.

The old lady smiled and asked her if she had enough money. Gu Shi'an nodded and said enough.

After the store was renovated, there was not much money left in the hands of the two of them, and the store must have been deserted at first. The two discussed it and only planned to invite one more person.

Chang Yin was in the kitchen, plus Gu Shi'an and the people invited, it was enough to deal with it.

She has always reported good news to the old lady but not bad news, and naturally she will not tell her this.

The opening of the business was tedious, so the old lady asked her to leave her alone and come to see her after this busy time.

The opening came soon, because it was a new store, and she and Chang Yin began to launch flyers in the neighborhood a few days in advance, and all guests were 20% off on the opening day.

On the opening day, Gu Shi'an and Chang Yan got up early to prepare, although Chang Yan was confident in his craft, but after all, it was the first time to open a store, and he was a little nervous.

There were no guests in the morning, and it was not until noon that the first table of guests was served. The guests at this table are regular guests, and it was Qi Hantong who brought people over to cheer the party.

With Qi Hantong opening, there was another table of guests behind him.

The two of them sent out a number of leaflets, but it didn't have any effect. Chang Yan was a little discouraged.

Gu Shi'an cheered her up and said that most office workers just ate casually at noon. Maybe someone will come in the evening.

Chang Yan cheered up and went to prepare the ingredients for the afternoon.

In the evening, as Gu Shi'an said, there were really more people. Although they came one after another, Gu Shi'an and another clerk were still busy enough, and they walked at a trot.

Chang Yin's requirements for ingredients are harsh and unwilling to compromise. At nine o'clock, when the prepared ingredients were almost used, he asked Gu Shi'an to go out with a full sign.

Gu Shi'an is a complete novice in catering, and his nerves have always been tense. When the dishes of the several tables of guests she greeted were served, she breathed a sigh of relief. Her feet were already aching, so she sat down in the lounge behind her and let out a soft sigh.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and rest for a few minutes, another clerk, Xiao Wu, trotted over. It was said that the second box upstairs asked me to send a few bottles of wine.

He said and hurried away with the tray. Gu Shi'an took a deep breath, forced himself to cheer up, and then took the wine and went upstairs.

Because she is a novice, Xiao Wu has always been taken care of in the private room. She took the wine to the door of the private room, knocked on the door, and only pushed the door open and went in until the inside said to come in.

When she entered, she was about to greet politely, when she saw Chen Xiao sitting at the top. He was supposed to be the one who was invited, and the people below toasted him with all their might.

Gu Shi'an didn't expect it to be so coincidental at all, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Her reaction seemed sluggish to others. The wine on the table had been poured, and the people at the table shouted for her to hurry up.

Gu Shi'an came back to his senses and put the wine on the wine table.

Chen Xiao, who was sitting at the top, didn't know if he noticed her, and he didn't sweep the corners of his eyes to her. He took the toast from others and drank it.

He doesn't have a long memory at all, and he actually drank again not long after he was hospitalized with stomach bleeding.

Gu Shi'an wanted to remind him out loud, but there was no one in the room who knew him. Her rash voice was undoubtedly abrupt, and she had to retreat.

Wait until you get to the door. She immediately took out her mobile phone and called Assistant Sun. Assistant Sun didn't know what he was doing, and his mobile phone couldn't be connected.

She hesitated for a moment and dialed Chen Xiao's number. Chen Xiao is inside, and it stands to reason that he will pick up the phone soon. But no, his phone was delayed and no one answered.

Gu Shi'an dialed it again, but this time it was directly cut off. She looked at her phone, but after all, she didn't dial it a third time, and went downstairs.

He was already an adult, and she couldn't help it if he didn't answer the phone, so she made up her mind not to care about this kind of idle thing. But when I think of what the doctor said, I still can't look at him and not take his body seriously.

When she went back to the private room, Chen Xiao might not take care of her, she stood for a while, then asked Xiao Wu to go to the private room and told Chen Xiao that someone was looking for him outside.

Xiao Wu was puzzled, but still didn't ask anything. I walked upstairs quickly.

Xiao Wu didn't come downstairs for long, and there was no Chen Xiao behind him. Gu Shi'an looked at him now.

Xiao Wu then said, "I called that Mr. Chen, but they were drinking...... I'll have to come out first. ”

She had already made two calls, and when Xiao Wu went up again, Chen Xiao should have guessed that she had called her. Since he didn't come out, he obviously didn't want to deal with her.

Gu Shi'an had already done what he should have done, so he simply stopped caring and continued to get busy.

The people in the store didn't go out one after another until after eleven o'clock. The three of them cleaned up the store together. Chang Yin asked Xiao Wu and Gu Shi'an to get off work first.

She still has to go grocery shopping in the morning, Chang Yan doesn't plan to go back, she plans to spend the night in the store, and let Gu Shi'an go back and bring her some change of clothes by the way.

This day was tired enough, Gu Shi'an looked around and saw that there was nothing to clean up. Just nod your head.

She was originally going to go out with Xiao Wu, but when she arrived at the door, she remembered that she didn't take her mobile phone in the lounge, so she asked Xiao Wu to go first, and she hurriedly went back to get her mobile phone.

I took my mobile phone and turned off the door of the store to go out, and I had just walked a short distance when I saw a person vomiting next to the trash can. Take the coat you are wearing, it's not who Chen Xiao is.

He was still in high spirits at the wine table just now, and no one sent him back after drinking like this for three times.

Gu Shi'an originally didn't plan to care, but after walking a few steps, he still fell back again. I bought a bottle of water and a pack of tissues at a nearby convenience store and took them to the trash can.

At this time, Chen Xiao had almost vomited, and when he straightened up, Gu Shi'an took out a tissue and handed it to him.

Probably because of the drinking, Chen Xiao's reaction was a little sluggish, and after a few tens of seconds, he raised his head to look at her.

Gu Shi'an originally thought that he was going to take the tissue, but who knew that he didn't. slapped her hand away and said coldly, "Nosy." ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't look at Gu Shi'an, and stumbled forward. Only then did Gu Shi'an notice that his car was parked in front.

He was so drunk that he was going to drive.

was choked by him coldly, and Gu Shi'an blocked his chest in one breath. Close your eyes and silently recite in your heart over and over again not to worry about the drunkard, and then you open your eyes. She couldn't watch him drive like that, so she still took out her mobile phone and called Assistant Sun.

But Assistant Sun's mobile phone is still the same as before, and it can't be connected.

Chen Xiao in front had already walked to the side of the car crookedly, and was about to open the driver's door. Gu Shi'an had no choice but to throw the phone back into his bag and follow quickly.

Chen Xiao had already opened the door, she stretched out her hand to stop him, and said, "I have already called a substitute driver." ”

Chen Xiao looked at her coldly, pursed his thin lips tightly, and said, "Get out of the way." ”

He drank too much, and as soon as he finished saying this, he immediately vomited.

He didn't have time to run to the garbage can this time, so he threw up on the side of the road. The contents of his stomach were almost vomited, and he couldn't vomit anything anymore.

After retching a few times, he didn't care if the ground was dirty or not, and sat directly on the ground.

He probably knew he couldn't drive like this. He stopped yelling to drive, closed his eyes and leaned against the telephone pole on the side of the road.

Gu Shi'an's words just now that he called the substitute driver were just lying to him. She originally wanted to ask Chen Xiao's driver's phone number, but he might not be able to say it like this, so she called the substitute driver.

She looked at the time, glanced at Chen Xiao who was sitting on the ground, took a step forward, and said, "Blowing the wind, go and sit in the car." ”

Chen Xiao had his eyes closed, and when he heard this, his eyelids raised to look at her, and then closed his eyes again.

Gu Shi'an looked at the time again, it was already twelve o'clock. But Chen Xiao is like this, she can't leave before the substitute driver comes.

She just stood on the sidelines, looking to the other end of the road.

Standing and standing, she remembered that time on the construction site for some reason. The brick fell, and the moment Chen Xiao protected her, came.

She lost her mind for a moment. The quarrels suddenly broke into her mind, and she closed her eyes tightly.

The substitute driver didn't come very quickly, and it took 20 minutes to get over. Gu Shi'an told him the address and floor, and troubled him to send him upstairs. Chen Xiao couldn't pay like this, she paid the money, and then motioned for the driver to get Chen Xiao into the car.

There was nothing to do with her now, and she didn't care about the two of them anymore, and walked to the fork in the road to stop the car.

She's lucky. A taxi had just passed. She got into the car, closed her eyes and didn't look back.

She was very tired this day, and her calves and feet hurt terribly. She wanted to fall directly into the bed and sleep with him. In the end, I still forced myself to take a bath.

When she collapsed on the bed, she couldn't sleep even more. The calf was cramping like a burst. She couldn't sleep for a while, so she got up again and found a painkiller to eat.

She was so tired that when the painkillers worked, she fell asleep in a daze.

Although she slept late at night, she had to go to the store early to get ready, and she got up at seven o'clock. took the clothes that Chang Yan threw here, and then yawned and went out.

When she arrived at the store, Chang Yan went to the market and hadn't come back, and she couldn't find anything to do, so she dozed off.

It hadn't been long before the drowsiness had been going on when the phone rang. She woke up suddenly, and picked up the phone without looking.

As soon as he fed it, he listened to Chen Xiao on the other end of the phone and asked in a faint tone, "Do you see my wallet?" ”

Gu Shi'an's mind was still a little confused, and he didn't react for a while. When he reacted, he asked, "Dropped in the store?" ”

Chen Xiao obviously didn't know where he fell. Gu Shi'an obviously didn't see it when he asked, and he didn't talk nonsense, so he hung up the phone directly.

Gu Shi'an didn't care, rubbed his swollen eyebrows, and then went upstairs to see if there was anything left in the private room.

The private room had been cleaned last night, and the chance of things falling was small. This time, she searched all the corners and corners, and even went to the bathroom, but she didn't see Chen Xiao's wallet.

I didn't call him when I found her, and sent him a text message directly to tell him that there was no one in the store.

Chen Xiao didn't know if he didn't see it or what, and didn't reply.

Gu Shi'an didn't care anymore, and when Chang Yan came back from grocery shopping, she went to get busy.

Last night, there were probably colleagues from nearby companies who came to eat and thought it was good, but by noon, there were more people than yesterday, and there were five tables of guests. Three of the tables are for nearby office workers. Wear professional attire.

There is an office building nearby, and if there is something delicious nearby, it will spread the fastest in the office. Gu Shi'an sent each of them a sweet soup after the meal.

There were even more people in the evening, but because I didn't know how many customers there were when it opened, the ingredients were prepared as much as yesterday, so I didn't dare to prepare more. It was still at nine o'clock and the sign was full.

In the end, the guests who didn't eat were given small snacks.

Gu Shi'an was still busy, and it wasn't until more than ten o'clock that most of the guests left, and he was a little relieved.

She originally wanted to take advantage of this gap to roughly calculate the account, but before she could start the calculation, Xiao Wu walked over and said, "Sister Gu, you go upstairs." There's a guest who wants to see you, and he's coming early. ”

Gu Shi'an was puzzled and looked at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu said at this time: "I came here last night, you go up quickly, I'll watch it for you." ”

There were so many guests who came last night, how did Gu Shi'an know which one it was. When I went upstairs and pushed the door open, I found that the guest Xiao Wu said was Chen Xiao.

Gu Shi'an didn't know what he was looking for, so he didn't go any further, and asked at the door, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Xiao picked up the coat that was put aside and said, "Where did I go last night, take me to see it again." ”

Gu Shi'an remembered that he said that his wallet was missing, glanced at him, and asked, "Haven't found it yet?" ”

Chen Xiao didn't speak, took his coat and walked outside, and went downstairs.

He was so drunk yesterday that he probably just walked from the store to the trash can, and didn't go anywhere else.

But there are people coming and going outside, and if you really fall outside, it is almost impossible to find it back at this time.
