Chapter Seventy-One: You have to look at the owner to beat the dog
Gu Shi'an didn't sleep well all night, and she went to the company the next day at work, and then went to Chen Xiao's company under the pretext of going to the construction site.
She called Chen Xiao downstairs, but Chen Xiao's mobile phone was always on the phone.
She couldn't get through several times in a row, and she stopped playing and went straight into his company.
Chen Xiao's company is also busy, and people come and go in the hall. Gu Shi'an stepped forward to the front desk and said that he wanted to see Chen Xiao, and the front desk smiled and asked her if she had made an appointment.
She knew that if she didn't make an appointment, she would probably not be able to see Chen Xiao today, so she said yes, and reported her name and asked her to tell Chen Xiao's assistant directly.
She was just gambling, and she wasn't sure that Chen Xiao's assistant still remembered her.
The front desk didn't say much, smiled and asked her to wait for a while, and then called Chen Xiao's assistant.
The phone over there was always busy, and Gu Shi'an waited for a full quarter of an hour. The front desk smiled and said, "Miss Gu, Mr. Chen, please go up." ”
She said and took Gu Shi'an to the elevator and pressed the elevator for her.
Gu Shi'an said thank you now, the elevator door closed, and she stared at the rising number of the elevator without moving.
The elevator stopped quickly, and when she walked out, Chen Xiao's assistant was already waiting outside the elevator, and when he saw her, he respectfully called his wife and said, "Mr. Chen is still in the conference room." Wait a minute, he'll be back in a moment. ”
Gu Shi'an thanked him politely, and he took Gu Shi'an to Chen Xiao's office and let people serve tea.
Chen Xiao didn't come back long after. The assistant had already told him that he was not surprised to see Gu Shi'an. The corners of his lips hooked, and he asked, "Daughter-in-law, what wind blew you over?" ”
His tone was a little careless, as good as ever. As he spoke, he called someone to make him a cup of coffee and came in.
He looks pretty idle.
Gu Shi'an looked at him for a while, didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "I'm here, I want to ask you about Gu Qian." ”
When Chen Xiao heard this, he looked at her and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Gu Shi'an didn't look at him, and then asked, "How much money did he borrow from you?" ”
Chen Xiao glanced at her lazily, the door was knocked on and the secretary outside brought the coffee, he took it, took a sip of the coffee, looked at Gu Shi'an with a smile, and said, "What, daughter-in-law, do you want to pay him back?" ”
As he spoke, he walked over to Gu Shi'an and sat down.
Gu Shi'an didn't care if there was ridicule in his tone, and said lightly: "Do you think I look like I can get money for him?" ”
Chen Xiao glanced at her meaningfully and said, "That's not necessarily. After a slight pause, his fingers tapped regularly on the armrests of the sofa, leaning forward, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corners of his lips. said: "Daughter-in-law, since you are not here to pay off his debts, what are you doing here?" Are you just looking for an excuse to come to see me? ”
When he is like this, he is clearly pretending to be stupid. Gu Shi'an wanted to tear off the mask on his face, but in the end he endured it and said, "He asked you to borrow money, it should be more than just borrowing money, right?" ”
Chen Xiao is a demon who eats people without blinking, and if he lent money to Gu Qian if he didn't know anything, Gu Shi'an didn't believe it at all.
Chen Xiao slowly sipped his coffee, sat up straight, and said, "Daughter-in-law, I don't understand what you mean. What does it mean to be more than just borrowing money? Could it be that my brother-in-law is causing something else? ”
He's really pretending to be stupid. As he spoke, he looked at Gu Shi'an innocently.
Gu Shi'an knew that he was going to pretend to be stupid to the end.
She took a deep breath, and after a while, she spoke: "I don't know what he caused trouble, but I know that he caused a lot of trouble." My grandma is old...... Please raise your noble hand. ”
She didn't say anything about this, but Chen Xiao understood what she meant.
No matter what happened to Gu Qian, if it really made a big fuss, it would be Mrs. Gu who wiped his ass in the end.
Chen Xiao glanced at her coldly and said, "You have a very wide heart. ”
Gu Shi'an didn't say anything.
Chen Xiao put the cup down and took out a cigarette to light it. There was a little gloom on his face, and he took a puff of cigarette before asking, "Do you remember the person you chased in the alley last time?" ”
Gu Shi'an couldn't remember where, so he looked up at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao glanced at her and said, "That's what your cousin paid to invite her." ”
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Gu Shi'an had doubted Gu Su, but he hadn't thought about Gu Qian. She thought that Gu Qian didn't want to see her at most, and deliberately manipulated her behind Gu Su's back.
Chen Xiao didn't wait for her to speak, and continued casually: "As the saying goes, if you beat a dog, you have to see the owner first." If you have the courage to do such a thing, of course, you have to eat some lessons. I advise you to leave this matter alone, and you can't take care of it. Feel relieved. I can't get the old lady to go with me. It's enough to make your second uncle and second aunt anxious. ”
The dog he was talking about in front of him was obviously referring to Gu Shi'an. The tone behind him was lazy, obviously not taking it seriously.
Gu Shi'an just didn't hear what he said before, although Chen Xiao had already said that he would not make trouble in front of the old lady, but she was still not at ease if she didn't figure out what trouble Gu Qian had caused. Besides, nothing is 100% guaranteed.
Just like Gu Su often scolded her for being wolf-hearted and dog-hearted, she could do anything, but she couldn't let go of the old lady.
She looked at Chen Xiao and asked, "What trouble did Gu Qian do?" ”
Chen Xiao was not surprised at all that she was going to the end, and said casually: "What trouble can you cause?" It's just a gamble to play with women. Well, it's just a bit of a big game this time. ”
If it was really as simple as he said, it would be impossible for Qin Tang to let her remind the old lady.
Gu Shi'an still wanted to ask, but before the words could be spoken, Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and said, "What, don't believe it?" I don't believe you're still here? ”
His tone was cold, he glanced at Gu Shi'an, stood up and walked behind the desk, so that he was sending off a guest.
Gu Shi'an stood still and didn't move, she knew that, as Chen Xiao said, she couldn't control this matter. She didn't want to care about this mess either. She was silent for a while, looked at Chen Xiao, and said, "Thank you...... For grandma's sake......"
As if he knew what she was going to say, Chen Xiao glanced at her and said, "I'm not so wolf-hearted. ”
Gu Shi'an choked at this moment, and couldn't find anything to say for a while.
The phone on Chen Xiao's desk rang, she stood for a moment, and then said, "I'll go first." ”
Chen Xiao ignored her and picked up the phone. Gu Shi'an quickly retired from his office.
When he went out, he happened to meet Chen Xiao's assistant, and he was a little surprised to see Gu Shi'an come out so quickly, and asked, "Are you leaving?" ”
Gu Shi'an squeezed out a smile and nodded, and said something troublesome, and then walked quickly to the elevator.
She didn't expect that she would go back like this on this trip, and stood downstairs for a while before going to the construction site.
She didn't worry about the old lady, so she called her at lunchtime. She should still know nothing,
After receiving a call from Gu Shi'an, he told her that she was going to celebrate the New Year, don't just care about work, she is already someone else's daughter-in-law, she has to prepare everything she should prepare, don't let Grandma Chen Xiao worry about it.
Prepare things for the New Year. Last year, Gu Shi'an was the shopkeeper. Hearing the old lady's instructions, she couldn't help blushing a little, and hurriedly responded.
The old lady chattered on the phone for a long time before hanging up.
Probably because he didn't sleep well at night, Gu Shi'an's head had a faint pain in the afternoon. She knew that Qi Shiyun didn't care about anything, even if the old lady was sick, she could leave it alone. Not to mention preparing for the New Year.
When she got off work, she called Ye Qing and asked what New Year's goods to prepare for the New Year. She is slowly ready to bring it over, and when the time comes, she will slowly make up for the differences.
When she called, the old lady was next to her, Ye Qing smiled and asked her to be busy with her, she would prepare the New Year's goods, and let her go directly when the time came.
Gu Shi'an replied.
Everything to prepare for the New Year is also her business, how can she really go over directly when the time comes. In the next few days, I made a list, went to buy early on Saturday, and then went to the old house.
Qi Shiyun was not there, except for the maids, there were only two people, the old lady and Ye Qing. The old house was deserted.
The old lady was helpless when she saw Gu Shi'an's big bag, and said, "Are you really polite to you as a grandmother?" Didn't you say that your Aunt Ye would prepare? What are you doing at work? ”
The old lady felt sorry for her, and while letting people take over the things, she asked Ye Qing to pour her hot tea.
Although the Chinese New Year is coming soon, the weather is still cold. It's not snowing outside, and the temperature hasn't risen.
Ye Qing poured tea for Gu Shi'an and went to serve her snacks. The old lady asked her how her work was going at the end of the year.
Gu Shi'an answered one by one, and the old lady smiled and said, "At the end of the year, Chen Xiao is the busiest, and there are many entertainments. When you have a holiday, let him accompany you well. A few days ago, your Aunt Ye also said that many young people will go out to travel in the New Year, and you will also go out for a few days when the time comes. ”
Gu Shi'an didn't know why the old lady suddenly proposed to let her go out with Chen Xiao, and he was a little drumming in his heart. lifted his spirits and said with a smile: "There are many people going out during the New Year, and going out is just a waste of time on the road." I've already figured it out, and we'll be with you when the time comes. You might even be able to make a small fortune. ”
Her tone was mischievous, and both the old lady and Ye Qing laughed.
The old lady was particularly happy, and said with a smile: "It seems that you girl thinks that I have less money for the New Year." But you'll have to be careful when the time comes, don't lose your New Year's money back to me. ”
There was a moment of laughter in the living room. The old lady chattered about the lively scene of the New Year when she was young.
The old mansion has been deserted all these years, and she is somewhat gloomy. Gu Shi'an knew that she was thinking of Chen Zhengkang.
It stands to reason that he should come back for the New Year. But if he comes back, with Chen Xiao's temper and tossing with him, don't think about living in peace this year.
This topic could not be continued, so Gu Shi'an cheered up and changed the topic.
The old lady still had a knot in her heart, and the smile on her face after that was somewhat reluctant. She was still in poor spirits, and when Gu Shi'an and Ye Qing went to make dumplings at the party, she leaned on the sofa and dozed off.
It's warm in the house, but I'm not afraid of freezing. Ye Qing took a blanket and covered her. After washing her hands and starting to mix again, she sighed low and said, "The old lady has been reading that several times recently, but she is getting old." ”
In the past, when Chen Zhengkang came back, she had people take a broom and drive her out.
Gu Shi'an looked in the direction of the living room, feeling a little uncomfortable. In the end, he still asked: "Father-in-law, did he come to see the old lady later?" ”
Ye Qing shook his head and stopped talking. In the end, nothing was said. Divert the conversation.
Ye Qing had always been a little unsettled, and when he sat down and started making dumplings, he still said: "Shi'an, why don't you persuade Chen Xiao to let him celebrate the New Year this time, and call everyone to celebrate the New Year together." The old lady is old, and she longs to see her children and grandchildren around her knees. ”
She sighed when she said this, and said, "The old lady has not been a person inside or outside all these years. Your mother-in-law ......"
She sighed again when she said this, but she still didn't say any more.
The old lady just took a short nap, and after the dumplings were wrapped, she woke up. He sighed that when he was old, he fell asleep when he sat down.
Probably because of her repeated illnesses, the old lady looked much older than before, and her spirit was not as good as before.
Gu Shi'an's heart was a little uncomfortable, and he talked about the dumplings she and Ye Qing had wrapped. There are several kinds of stuffing. She asked the old lady what kind of stuffing she wanted.
The old lady smiled and said that she could eat anything.
When Chen Xiao came back, the three of them were sitting at the small dining table eating steaming dumplings, and Gu Shi'an was holding the dumplings for the old lady from time to time.
He didn't expect Gu Shi'an to be there, so he stood at the door a little before entering.
The old lady was surprised to see him come back, and said, "Didn't you say that you have been busy lately?" ”
Gu Shi'an also didn't expect Chen Xiao to come over, afraid that he would be a goof, so he pretended to be calm and said, "I'll go get the dishes and chopsticks." ”
The old lady was happy to see him come back, and when Gu Shi'an entered the kitchen, she was still muttering: "Shi'an came back alone with a big bag of things." Since you can spare time, you should come back together. ”
Chen Xiao was much calmer than Gu Shi'an, and fooled the old lady in a few words. It wasn't until the old lady stopped mentioning it that Gu Shi'an quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
With Chen Xiao, the atmosphere is naturally only better. Gu Shi'an and Ye Qingbao didn't have many dumplings in the first place, but now they ate them cleanly.
The old lady only said that she would not go to work tomorrow and let the two stay here to sleep at night when the two of them were busy and had not eaten well. Let Ye Qing boil some soup to nourish the body.
Chen Xiao didn't go to see Gu Shi'an, so he answered.
In the afternoon, there was nothing to do, so a few people accompanied the old lady to play cards. Among the several people, Gu Shi'an's card skills are the worst, and he has been losing.
Ye Qing laughed at her, she still wanted to make a small fortune.
Several of them wanted to make the old lady happy, and in the end the old lady became the big winner.
Leaving Gu Shi'an and them down to eat, the dinner was naturally rich. The atmosphere was always pleasant, and it was not until the old lady went to rest after dinner that the old house became deserted.
Although I told Chang Yan about coming here, Gu Shi'an naturally had to tell her if she couldn't go back at night. When I returned to the room, I called Chang Yin.
Chen Xiao followed Gu Shi'an upstairs not long after he went upstairs, and the two never had a chance to talk alone, so he glanced at Gu Shi'an and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
He really didn't expect Gu Shi'an to come over.
Gu Shi'an said about buying New Year's goods. Chen Xiao didn't say anything at this time, and went to wash.
Chen Xiao seemed to be unhappy without alcohol during this time, and when he waited to wash up, he opened the wine and drank it himself.
Gu Shi'an remembered Ye Qing's words, hesitated for a moment, and still said, "Aunt Ye said that grandma has been reading it a lot recently...... Father-in-law. ”
Chen Xiao's hand holding the cup paused slightly, and he didn't speak for a while.
The room was very quiet. Chen Xiao didn't pause for long, and soon shook the wine in the glass again, half of his face was immersed in shadows, and he couldn't see what expression was on his face, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.
After a while, he glanced up at Gu Shi'an, as if nothing had happened, and asked, "Would you like a drink?" ”
Gu Shi'an has not yet answered. So he got up, took his glass, and poured out the wine.
Gu Shi'an fell asleep after only drinking one glass, although Chen Xiao couldn't tell whether he was in a good or bad mood, but he drank all the bottles of wine and went to bed.
Gu Shi'an got up early the next day to make breakfast, probably because he was in the old house, and Chen Xiao also got up quite early. The old lady had just gotten up, and he had gotten up.
He's always been good at disguise, but he can't tell that he drank last night.
Probably yesterday's things are tired to today, and his mobile phone has not stopped since breakfast. As soon as breakfast had been eaten, the old lady waved him to go about his business.
Chen Xiao didn't say anything and left in a hurry.
Gu Shi'an didn't go back until the afternoon, so he still stayed in the old mansion to talk to the old lady. When Gu Shi'an and Ye Qing were cooking in the kitchen, they didn't know what the old lady and Chen Xiao said. At noon, the old lady said again: "Chen Xiao and I have already agreed, and after the New Year, you will go out with him to have a good time." I booked the ticket in advance, and staggered the time and peak period. ”
Gu Shi'an was slightly stunned, and just as she was about to say something, the old lady patted her hand. said: "Don't shirk, grandma doesn't need you to accompany you all the time." If you still listen to grandma, you'll be able to play when the time comes. ”
She sighed when she said this, looked at Gu Shi'an with even more pity, and said, "When you and Chen Xiao got married, he was busy, and you didn't even have a honeymoon trip. This time you listen to grandma, have fun, and think it's your honeymoon. ”
Whether it's getting married. It's still a honeymoon, it's like a long, long time ago. Gu Shi'an was slightly in a trance.
It's only been a little over a year, and it feels like centuries have passed.
Gu Shi'an left the old house during the old lady's lunch break, and the old lady asked the driver to send her. Probably because the old lady mentioned the honeymoon trip, she was more or less in a trance. After getting in the car, I kept looking outside.
It was a long time before she closed her eyes.
The old lady had already asked Chen Xiao about this, and he obviously had many excuses to push it off, and he didn't know how he would agree.
Gu Shi'an's mind was a little messy. It wasn't until the car stopped that she realized that she had arrived at her and Chen Xiao's wedding room.
She quickly got out of the car and waited for the driver to drive away, and then got back to the old house.
Go back to Chang Yan turned out to be there. Gu Shi'an was a little surprised and asked, "You don't have to go to work today?" ”
Chang Yin smiled and said, "The boss's family is in the field, and the holiday will officially start today." She paused slightly, then said, "I happened to be fine today. However, after receiving a few orders, it is estimated that the first three days of the Chinese New Year will be busy. ”
She needs money, and during the Chinese New Year, guests pay twice as much as usual. Naturally, she will not let go of this opportunity.
As soon as Gu Shi'an entered the door, she poured her a cup of hot water. He took out another paper envelope and handed it to her, saying, "Our boss is generous, and he sends a lot at the end of the year." These are my two months' salary, you take it first. ”
She is generous and generous, and she doesn't hide it at all. After speaking, he said: "I usually earn a lot of extra money, which is completely enough to spend, really." The money you borrowed later. It's not good to keep not paying it back. It's a little bit of a little bit of it. ”
Her tone was serious, and the expression on her face was much more relaxed than ever.
Gu Shi'an knew that she didn't want to owe anyone, so after thinking about it for a while, she took the money and said, "Put it here for me first, and then ask me to get it when you want to use it." ”
Chang Yan nodded, and said with a smile: "The orders I received in the past few days can be worth more than a month's salary, and I will have the rest in my hands at that time." ”
It's easy to run around outside for the Chinese New Year, but she is happy, and Gu Shi'an naturally supports her. He smiled and said, "When you rest, you have to invite us to a big dinner." ”
Chang Yan nodded seriously, and said that he would definitely cook a big meal for everyone at that time, and it would be okay if he went out to eat.
Gu Shi'an said that when the time comes, she will go out to eat, she is busy during the New Year, of course, she should rest for a few days.
Chang Yan simply responded and asked Gu Shi'an to book the land at that time.
The two talked for a while, and Chang Yan looked up at Gu Shi'an without saying anything.
Gu Shi'an was puzzled when he saw this, and asked, "Then what are you looking at me for, what's wrong?" ”
Chang Yan said that it was nothing. She hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Do you know what happened to the Gu family recently?" ”
This time it was Gu Shi'an's turn to be stunned, she had a bad premonition, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Seeing that she didn't know anything, Chang Yan regretted that she shouldn't have mentioned it.
