Chapter 241: Embarrassment
Gu Shi'an fell asleep in Chen Xiao's arms in a daze, the two hadn't been so close for a long time, she buried her face in his chest, and the whole person curled up in his arms.
Although Chen Xiao had drunk, he fell asleep behind her, and gently kissed her on the forehead, and then closed his eyes.
Chen Xiao was woken up by the vibration of the mobile phone the next morning, his sleep has been shallow recently, and the mobile phone just vibrated with a whining, and he woke up immediately. Afraid of waking up Gu Shi'an, he immediately hung up the phone. I got out of bed barefoot and went straight to the bathroom. Then the call back.
As soon as he got up, his voice was still hoarse, and he asked, "What's the matter?" ”
On the other side of the phone was Assistant Sun, who said in a low voice on the other end of the phone: "Someone called my number from an unfamiliar number, saying that someone wants to see you." Let you pass. ”
The words on the other side of the phone were vague, Assistant Sun paused here, and then continued: "I suspect that the person who asked people to call and say that they want to see you should be Mr. Chen." He didn't call directly, probably because he was afraid of people staring at him. ”
Yes, Chen Zhengkang has no other skills, but he has the ability to save his life. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a long time without any news at all
The expression on Chen Xiao's face was faint, and he asked, "Where is it?" ”
Assistant Sun will tell you about the place now.
Chen Xiao was silent for a moment and asked him to book a ticket over there.
Assistant Sun answered yes and quickly hung up the phone.
Chen Xiao didn't go back to the bedroom immediately, just stayed in the bathroom. Closed his eyes and leaned against the wall.
I have to say that Chen Zhengkang is indeed smart. If he really knew something, hiding in the field was undoubtedly the safest. He knew Xiao Si's local forces, and if he was local, he would have been dug up long ago.
Chen Xiao's face was expressionless, and after standing for a moment, Assistant Sun's phone came over again and told him that the ticket had been booked.
Chen Xiao hummed lightly and hung up the phone directly.
In the bedroom, Gu Shi'an slept soundly, and he smoked a cigarette in the bathroom before returning to the bedroom. Quietly staring at Gu Shi'an's sleeping face, after a long time, he changed his clothes.
Assistant Sun came quickly, but the car stopped outside at seven o'clock. He called again and Chen Xiao didn't answer, hung up directly, gently closed the door and went downstairs.
It's still bright outside, and even Aunt Ye gets up late when it's cold, and it's quiet downstairs. Chen Xiao quietly walked through the living room and walked out of the courtyard.
Assistant Sun's car was quietly parked outside, and when he saw Chen Xiao, he got out of the car and opened the door for him.
It was warm in the car, and Chen Xiao sat in the car before asking, "What time is the plane?" ”
Assistant Sun looked at the time and said, "Half past eight, there is still an hour and a half." ”
There should be time left from here to the airport.
Chen Xiao nodded at this time. After a pause, he asked, "When did you call over there?" ”
Assistant Sun replied at this time: "It was called in the early hours of last night, I originally wanted to tell you, but it was too late by then." I can't pass it. ”
That's why I called him at dawn.
Chen Xiao nodded, not knowing what he thought, and said lightly: "Send me to the office first." After a slight pause, he continued, "Find a car and wait at the back door." ”
Assistant Sun was slightly stunned when he heard his words, then reacted, answered yes, and immediately called.
He quickly arranged it. Chen Xiao closed his eyes for a moment, and then continued: "Find two people to come to the office, and they will be here in the office tonight." By the way, I found an excuse to release the news and said that it was already a mess here. ”
Assistant Sun naturally knew what he meant, and immediately responded with a hello.
Since Chen Zhengkang is so careful, it means that Chen Xun's people should have been staring at him all the time. If he left so openly, at such a juncture, he could naturally infer that he was going to see Chen Zhengkang. At that time, Chen Zhengkang's situation will be in danger.
Now creating a scorched scene, even if Chen Xun reacts, it is obviously not easy to find someone in a strange city.
Of course, the best thing is that he met Chen Zhengkang before Chen Xun knew about it, and then came back.
The car was quiet for a while, Assistant Sun looked at the road conditions in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Mr. Chen, ...... the wife?"
Although he didn't finish his words, Chen Xiao knew what he meant. He didn't speak immediately, and after a while, he said, "Let people follow her, and let her go out as little as possible." I will rush back as soon as possible. ”
Assistant Sun answered yes and stopped talking.
When the two arrived at the company, Chen Xiao left through the back door without even stopping. Assistant Sun didn't send him, but turned on the light in the office.
On the way to the airport, Chen Xiao always closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, whether it was He Shuqing's face or Chen Xun's face, he had already seen through it.
He used to hate Chen Zhengkang, and he also hoped that he would plant a big heel in the mother and son. But now that it had really happened, he was not happy at all.
Since Chen Zhengkang has hid in the field, it means that he knows very well what kind of fate it will be if he falls into the hands of Chen Xun. It also shows that he already knows the face of the mother and son.
Chen Xiao's lips pursed tightly, and he closed his eyes in the back seat of the car.
This side is not far from the airport, and when he got out of the car, the driver in front of him called Mr. Chen and handed him the ticket and a peaked cap
Chen Xiao took it, put on his hat, then opened the car door and got out of the car and walked towards the airport.
He got out of the car, and the driver got out of the car with him. He followed him step by step and said in a low voice, "Assistant Sun said let me follow you." If there's anything, there's a helper. ”
Yes, he can't do anything when he's out of town alone. What is even more important is that there is fraud over there.
If the person over there is not Chen Zhengkang, but Xiao Sixia's set, then the consequences are unimaginable.
Chen Xiao naturally knew what Assistant Sun meant, the corners of his mouth hooked up with some mockery, and said lightly: "They don't have the strength to set up this game now." Don't follow me. Go and look at the old mansion. ”
His figure paused slightly, and without waiting for anyone to answer, he strode towards the airport.
The man stood still, but he didn't follow. took out his mobile phone and called Assistant Sun.
When Gu Shi'an woke up, Chen Xiao was no longer there, and he took out his mobile phone to look at it, only to find that there was a text message on it, which was sent by Chen Xiao. Tell her he's on a business trip.
There seemed to be his residual body temperature on the quilt, and Gu Shi'an lay down for a while before getting up.
There was no stale breakfast, and no one at the table spoke.
Qi Shiyun, as usual, went upstairs after breakfast. Gu Shi'an stayed downstairs and helped Ye Qing do some simple things.
When Chen Xun called, Ye Qingzheng went back to the kitchen, Gu Shi'an looked at the number and went upstairs quietly.
The phone kept ringing silently, and when he arrived in the room, Gu Shi'an picked it up, and as soon as he fed it, Chen Xun smiled and asked gently, "Sister-in-law, did it go well last night?" ”
He asked, which means that the wine that Chen Xiao drank was fueled by him behind the scenes.
Gu Shi'an's heart sank, and his fingers involuntarily clenched tightly. She restrained herself from showing any abnormality, and then said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." Didn't succeed. ”
Chen Xun was silent for a moment, probably dissatisfied. However, when he spoke again, he was still like a spring breeze, and said: "It's okay, if you don't succeed once, there will be a next time." But sister-in-law, you have to hurry, if you can't get it all the time, I'm afraid I'll ......"
Although he didn't say the words later, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Gu Shi'an didn't pay any more attention to him, and hung up the phone directly. This time, Chen Xun didn't call again.
Gu Shi'an stayed upstairs for a while before going downstairs, only Ye Qing was downstairs, and Auntie didn't know where to go after breakfast.
The aunt here is often absent, Gu Shi'an rarely paid attention to this matter before, but after staying for a while today, he asked, "Aunt Ye, isn't Auntie here?" ”
Ye Qing probably didn't expect her to ask, so she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "She went back." ”
As if she was afraid that Gu Shi'an would blame, she hurriedly said, "I asked her to go back." She sighed and said: "It's not easy for her, her husband used to fall from the upstairs at work and was paralyzed, her son is still in school, and she is the only one in the family who has income." Her husband can't take care of himself, so she has to go back to change his clothes and cook for him. There's nothing going on here, so I'll let her go back and come back when I'm done. ”
It's all simple chores, and she can do it. It didn't matter much anyway.
Ye Qing was a little puzzled by Gu Shi'an's sudden question, and asked again after speaking: "What's the matter, is it inappropriate for her?" ”
She asked a little nervously. In the end, I still think that aunt is not easy.
Gu Shi'an smiled slightly and said no.
Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I know that you and Chen Xiao both want me to be easier, but I will always think about something when I am idle, so it is better to find something to do." ”
She has been with the old lady for many years, and the old lady's absence from her is like losing the backbone of the heart, the whole person is empty, and there are some things to do better than nothing to do.
If you ask Gu Shi'an more, she was afraid that she would be cranky, so she changed the topic, saying that she would report a group after the beginning of spring and let her go out for a walk.
At this time, Ye Qing waved her hand again and again, saying that she was not going. Going out to travel and riding in a car is more tormenting. She was too lazy to run around.
Ye Qing, who was talking, asked about Gu Shi'an's grandmother's body with concern, when Gu Chengde's matter was big, Ye Qing naturally knew something.
Gu Shi'an hadn't seen the old lady for a while, but the phone calls were frequent. It's all good.
Although the old lady is gone, she can't cut off the contact. Ye Qing said that when the weather warmed up, go and see the old lady, Gu Shi'an will be okay now.
The two chattered in the living room, the aunt went back and never came back, and the lunch was also cooked by Gu Shi'an and Ye Qing together.
When the aunt came back, it was already afternoon, and as soon as she entered the yard, she saw Gu Shi'an pruning the leaves of potted plants under the eaves. She probably didn't expect that Gu Shi'an, who was so cold, would be outside, she was stunned, and then stepped forward with a smile on her face and said, "How can I let you do this by yourself, I'll just come." ”
Gu Shi'an and Chen Xiao usually have very little, and they have little time to meet and talk to this aunt.
She seemed to have gone out for a long time to cover herself, and came back with some vegetables in her hands.
Gu Shi'an smiled and said that it was okay. His eyes fell on her hand carrying the dish.
The aunt was a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly said, "Then you are busy, I'll cook." With that, she hurried inside.
Gu Shi'an didn't go to see her, stood outside for a while, and then called Chang Yan.
Chen Xiao said that he was on a business trip, but he never called. Gu Shi'an reached ten o'clock in the evening, and estimated that he had already rested, so he called him.
But I don't know what's going on over there, the phone is turned off and can't be connected.
Gu Shi'an was a little uneasy, sat on the bed for a while, and called Assistant Sun.
Assistant Sun's phone was connected, but when asked about Chen Xiaolai, he didn't know, and explained that he should be talking about business. Or the phone is out of battery.
Gu Shi'an didn't ask any more questions and hung up the phone.
She couldn't sleep that night, tossing and turning, and didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn.
Chen Xiao's phone couldn't get through at night, and when he woke up the next morning, Gu Shi'an called him again. But it's the same as at night, it's still off.
Gu Shi'an's heart was a little uneasy and frightened, and he faintly felt that something was wrong. Even if Chen Xiao is out on a business trip, he shouldn't be turned off all the time.
She restrained herself from calming down, and she couldn't get through until noon, so she went to the office.
She drove over by herself, Assistant Sun probably didn't expect her to go over, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw her. Then he stepped forward and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
There were other people in the office, and Gu Shi'an restrained his anxiety. When he arrived at Chen Xiao's office, he said: "Chen Xiao's phone has not been able to get through, is something wrong?" ”
She looked straight at Assistant Sun, obviously not giving up if she couldn't get an answer.
"You're thinking too much, it's nothing. Mr. Chen should be back soon. He raised his wrist to look at the time, paused slightly, and then said: "It's cold here, you shouldn't come over, I'll let someone send you back." ”
Although he said these words with a smile on his face as usual, he didn't dare to look at Gu Shi'an.
Gu Shi'an immediately sensed that something was wrong, looked at him directly, and asked, "Is something wrong?" ”
"You're thinking too much...... Mr. Chen......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Shi'an, and she said word by word: "You Mr. Chen are not on a business trip, are you?" ”
She is keen, and Assistant Sun wants to argue again. But knowing that unless she could get through Chen Xiao's phone, she would not give up, so she was silent for a while, and said, "Mr. Chen is indeed not on a business trip. After a slight pause, he continued: "He's going to find Mr. Chen." I asked people to follow him, but he wouldn't let him. But when he got there, he couldn't be reached again. ”
These words were said by Assistant Sun with some effort. When Chen Xiao had an accident, the responsibility was on him. He should have been more elaborate.
Gu Shi'an sat down on the sofa all of a sudden, her mind was a mess, she raised her head and looked at Assistant Sun, and asked, "Don't you have any other contact information?" ”
Assistant Sun was silent for a moment and said, "No." The person who called me that day was on a public phone and only knew an address. I've let people pass. ”
He couldn't leave, and if he could, he would have gone in person.
It's useless to be anxious now, Gu Shi'an calmed himself down, and asked in a dumb voice, "Can I help with anything?" ”
"Now we can only wait for news from there." Assistant Sun replied. After he finished speaking, he looked at the time again and said, "It's cold here, don't catch a cold if you stay here, I'll let someone send you back, and if there is news, I will notify you as soon as possible." ”
Yes, no matter how anxious you are, you have to wait for news over there.
Gu Shi'an didn't hold back now, nodded, and said, "I'll just go back by myself." ”
Where would Assistant Sun rest assured that she would go back alone, and insisted: "I'll let someone send you." There is also news that Mr. Chen can't be contacted, and he can't disclose it. ”
Gu Shi'an knew that Chen Xun was eyeing him, so he nodded. Again, let Assistant Sun tell her as soon as he has news.
In the end, Assistant Sun arranged for someone to send Gu Shi'an back, for fear that someone would follow her and find something unusual, she asked the driver to send her to the store in the city center to buy desserts and other things, and then returned to the old house.
She was uneasy, afraid that Ye Qing would see something unusual, so she didn't stay down for a long time, and went upstairs directly.
She washed her face in the bathroom to make herself sober, and Chang Yan called from there, saying that she couldn't find out who the aunt had seen for the time being. But what is certain is that the medical bills owed by the aunt in the hospital have been paid. Recently, she even prescribed some imported medicine to her husband.
Gu Shi'an was already sure that the aunt in the old mansion had been bought. But now you can't startle the snake, and it may be useful to keep it. She thanked Chang Yan and hung up the phone.
There was no news from Chen Xiao's side, she was uneasy, and she called Chen Xiao's phone from time to time. But every time it was disappointing, his phone was turned off all the time.
Gu Shi'an couldn't sleep this night, and he had to look at his phone from time to time. But it was all disappointing to her, and Assistant Sun never called.
He didn't call, which means that there has been no news from Chen Xiao's side.
Gu Shi'an couldn't lie down on the bed, turned off the light and walked back and forth in the bedroom. He didn't fall into bed until he was so tired.
But before she could fall asleep, she heard the sound of a car outside. She crawled up almost immediately. There were indeed lights on the outside, but the car didn't come in and drove away quickly. Probably passing by.
Gu Shi'an's heart was disappointed, and he didn't know what kind of psychology he smeared and went downstairs.
As soon as I got downstairs, the door opened.
Chen Xiao didn't come alone, but helped Chen Zhengkang. He had a not-so-bright flashlight in his hand.
Gu Shi'an immediately greeted her, Chen Xiao didn't ask her why she hadn't slept yet, and said in a low voice, "Go and pour a glass of water." ”
As he spoke, he directly helped Chen Zhengkang upstairs.
Although he couldn't see clearly, since Chen Zhengkang was relying on him to support him, he should have been injured. Gu Shi'an restrained himself and calmed down, poured a glass of water and quickly went upstairs.
Chen Xiao took Chen Zhengkang to the innermost room, pulled down the heavy curtains, and then turned on the light.
When Gu Shi'an entered, Chen Zhengkang's face was pale, Chen Xiao took out some medicine and handed it to Chen Zhengkang, and took the water cup from Gu Shi'an's hand.
Both of them were embarrassed, Chen Zhengkang should have suffered a leg injury, and he was tied with a bamboo board and bandages. Although the clothes on Chen Xiao's body were crumpled, he moved freely and should not be injured.
There should be painkillers in the medicine given by Chen Xiao, and Chen Zhengkang quickly took it and took it. Chen Xiao asked in a low voice, "Is there anything to eat at home?" ”
Gu Shi'an said quickly: "I'll cook noodles." ”
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "I'll go change my clothes." ”
This was said to Chen Zhengkang.
Gu Shi'an quickly went downstairs, although she knew that her aunt was not there at night, she was still not at ease, and went to the room to confirm that the person was indeed not there, and then went to cook noodles.
It didn't take long to cook the noodles, and her movements were light and didn't alarm anyone. The noodles were cooked, and Chen Xiao also changed his clothes. He took the noodles in his hand and went upstairs.
The two didn't know how long it had been since they had eaten, Chen Zhengkang was completely gobbling up, and a large bowl of noodles was quickly eaten clean.
Chen Xiao didn't have a good face for him, and when he saw him finish eating, he said lightly: "Live here for the time being, don't come out." I'll have the doctor come tomorrow. ”
Chen Zhengkang was tired from the past two days, and nodded in response.
Chen Xiao didn't care about him anymore, closed the door and left.
came back in such an embarrassment, Chen Xiao originally thought that Gu Shi'an would ask something, but she didn't ask anything, just put hot water for him to take a bath.
His phone was turned off all the time, and she hadn't slept in the middle of the night, so she didn't have to think about it to know that she was worried. Chen Xiao didn't say anything, just hugged her in his arms when she turned around.
Although he had changed his clothes, he didn't take a shower, and his body smelled. After just such a brief hug, he let go of her and went to the shower.
Gu Shi'an didn't go to bed, but went downstairs to clean up all the traces of the used kitchen, and then returned upstairs.
When he came back, Chen Xiao had already come out of the shower, his hair was wet before he was wiped, and he didn't know who he was calling when he stood at the window.
