Chapter 233: It's really shameless
Gu Shi'an originally had to wait for Qi Shiyun to wake up before leaving, but Qi Shiyun rarely slept well and never woke up.
Ye Qing probably saw Gu Shi'an's urgency. After sitting for a while, he said, "If you want to be busy, go and do your work." Madame has not been in good spirits lately, and you can come and talk to her when she is in better spirits. With me here to take care of, you don't have to worry. ”
Gu Shi'an was anxious, and Chen Xiao suddenly moved out of the marriage room. That means that his situation is difficult at this moment.
The marriage room can no longer be lived, so the other properties in his name must also be inhabitable. His things didn't come over, which means that Qi Shiyun and Ye Qing don't know these things.
So he never came back, where did he stay?
Where is Assistant Sun? There should be none. Otherwise, if she called him at the time, he should have mentioned it somewhat.
Gu Shi'an really couldn't sit still, so he stood up and said goodbye to Ye Qing. I looked upstairs and smiled and said I would come back another day.
When he sat in the car, Gu Shi'an immediately took out his mobile phone to call Assistant Sun. But this time, Assistant Sun's phone couldn't get through. I don't know if I'm deliberately avoiding her.
Gu Shi'an drove the car away from the old house and stopped on the side of the road. I sent a text message to Assistant Sun, asking him to call him back.
She did it all and calmed herself down. Called Chang Yin. Ask the store how much she can get in the dividend. Chen Xiao moved out of the house, which proves that there should be some loopholes on the company's side. She knew that her savings, including the store's dividends, were just a drop in the bucket. But maybe it can come in handy.
The dividends in the store have never been calculated, and Chang Yan didn't ask her what she wanted the money for. Immediately said: "Later, I'll go to the bank now." Send me an account and I'll transfer all the money I can to you. ”
Gu Shi'an's eyes were slightly moist. responded with a hello, said thank you in a low voice, hung up the phone and sent the bank card number to Chang Yin.
She didn't know anything about Chen Xiao's side, and she had nowhere to inquire about it. When I got home, I counted all the remaining money in my hand, and then went to the bank and deposited it all in one card.
She didn't have much money, and the only thing that didn't move was the money given by the old lady last time.
Assistant Sun has not returned the phone, and he still can't get through. Gu Shi'an couldn't stay at home. So he drove out. Wandering aimlessly. The car drove and drove to the door of Chen's house. Before she knew it, she had stopped the car.
She hadn't been to Chen's many times, and now looking at the tall buildings in front of her, it was extremely strange.
Gu Shi'an just watched like that, and it wasn't until a car honked behind her that she came back to her senses and drove the car away.
The mobile phone never remembered, Gu Shi'an went around and parked the car on a tree-lined path. She hadn't eaten much all day, her stomach twitched faintly, she reached out and pressed it, looked at the snack bar outside, sat for a while, and then got out of the car.
There are a lot of things to eat in the snack bar, and Gu Shi'an can't eat it, so he just needs a bowl of porridge. The owner was very sweet and gave side dishes.
Outside, the sky was overcast, as if it would get dark at any moment. After Gu Shi'an's porridge was eaten, and as soon as he settled the bill and walked outside, Assistant Sun called.
Gu Shi'an looked at it and picked it up. Before she could speak, Assistant Sun on the other end of the phone asked, "Miss Gu, what's the matter?" ”
He didn't know if it was true, didn't know what she wanted to ask, or pretended not to know.
Gu Shi'an was silent for a moment and asked, "I want to ask where Chen Xiao lives now?" ”
Her anxiety had now calmed down.
Assistant Sun on the other end of the phone didn't speak for a while, and said after a while: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen has something to do now, and it's inconvenient to see you." ”
Gu Shi'an naturally knew that this was just an excuse, she pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "Where is he, I'll wait for him to be free." ”
"I'm sorry Miss Gu. Now is a special period, and Mr. Chen's whereabouts must be kept secret. Assistant Sun's tone was polite, and he continued: "I still have something to do, if you are okay, I will be busy first." Good bye. ”
After Assistant Sun said this, he hung up the phone directly without waiting for Gu Shi'an to speak. Soon there was a beeping busyness on the phone.
Gu Shi'an didn't expect him to hang up the phone just like that, took a deep breath, and was about to dial the phone back. I saw Chen Xun coming over.
He should have been running errands nearby, and although he didn't hug him like he saw a few days ago, he still brought four bodyguards.
Seeing Gu Shi'an, he showed the same gentle smile on his face as usual, and greeted: "It's a coincidence, sister-in-law, are you also here?" ”
There was just the right amount of surprise on his face.
Gu Shi'an nodded, and said a clever sentence with an expressionless face.
Chen Xun looked up at the sky and said, "It seems to be snowing again, if my sister-in-law doesn't mind, I'll give you a ride?" "It's like a stranger, but he has to make a familiar appearance.
Gu Shi'an said lightly now, no.
Chen Xun's politeness is just foreshadowing, and he is not angry when he is rejected. His eyes rolled, and he suddenly asked, "Sister-in-law, you shouldn't know about my brother, right?" ”
If he says it, you don't have to think about it to know that it won't be a good thing.
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Gu Shi'an to speak, and then said: "My brother is really imprudent, he signed a contract when he was in the company some time ago. The scheduled date is delivery at the end of the month. In such a hurry, he assured the other party that he could deliver the goods. The factory hurried and hurried, but in the end it still failed to catch up with the shipment. Now the other party has chased the company and demanded liquidated damages. This liquidated damages is not a small amount, and the board of directors is really cold-blooded. My brother has contributed to the development of the company, and now he has put all the responsibility on my brother and does not promise to compensate for the liquidated damages...... The amount of liquidated damages is huge, and I don't know if my brother can survive it. ”
Obviously, he has nothing to do with him, but he sighs for a long time. I don't know, I think he and Chen Xiao's relationship is good.
Gu Shi'an's clenched fingers trembled slightly, and the strange Chen Xiao would move out of the wedding room. She guessed that there must be some loophole in the company, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
Chen Xiao has not been walking in the mall for a year or two, how could he make such a low-level mistake. You don't have to think about it, you don't know if someone is doing something in it.
Gu Shi'an's face turned pale, Chen Xun sighed again, and said, "I have the heart to help him, but it's a pity that he refuses to accept my help." I won't even answer the phone. Sister-in-law, if you see my brother, you must tell him that he and I are brothers, and this broken bone is still connected to the tendons. If you need my help, just call me, I will go to the soup and I will not hesitate! ”
His voice was sincere. A face is also full of sincerity and worry.
But with his face, Gu Shi'an didn't believe it at all. Does he help? It would be nice not to stumble from behind.
Chen Xun can pretend, and she will also pretend. Thank you politely. Don't let yourself show anything out of the ordinary.
Chen Xun probably didn't expect her to be so calm, and he was a little surprised in his heart. He said with fake annoyance: "Oh yes, sister-in-law shouldn't know yet." I heard that my brother seems to live in Dongxiang now, the environment over there is not good, my brother has been pampered since he was a child, how can he get used to living there. If you see him, you must persuade him, and grandma will be distressed if she knows that he lives there. ”
He sighed at this point, and said, "How can he live in that kind of place." Even if he didn't accept my help, he couldn't do that to himself. He patted himself on the head and said, "By the way, I have a friend who is interested in old houses. You once asked me if the old house would be sold. If the old house is sold, it should be able to pay liquidated damages. Sister-in-law, if you talk to your brother, you should also persuade him. Man is alive, the house is dead, life does not bring death, death does not take away. If he is willing to sell, I will ask for a good price for him. ”
He said it very sincerely. I'm afraid even he will be touched by himself.
He actually came up with the idea of the old mansion at this moment. Gu Shi'an was so angry that he calmed down at this moment, smiled faintly, and said, "Thank you very much." ”
Chen Xun didn't seem to be able to hear the sarcasm in her tone. With a smile, he said, "It should be, it should be." ”
His face was undoubtedly disgusting. Gu Shi'an didn't want to take a second look, so he walked directly to the car.
A little snowflake fell from the sky, and the people around Chen Xun raised the umbrella to cover the small snowflakes for him.
Chen Xun squinted his eyes and looked at the direction in which Gu Shi'an's car was leaving, with a grim smile on his face. It wasn't until Gu Shi'an's car disappeared that he said, "Let's go." ”
Several bodyguards waited for him to get into the car and into a car behind him.
Chen Xun loosened his tie, and the driver in front of him asked respectfully: "Mr. Chen, did you say that he would really sell the old house?" ”
Chen Xun showed a grim smile on his face, and said suspiciously: "It's up to him whether he sells it or not." Let that side urge again. Although the old immortal left him a lot of things, this time, even if he wanted to turn over, there was no possibility of turning over! ”
The driver in front of him replied yes. With a flattering smile on his face, he said, "If you want me to say, the old mansion is yours." He Chen Xiao is something, and he dares to occupy the old mansion. ”
Chen Xun loves to hear this. He narrowed his eyes, took out a cigarette and lit it, and said, "Sooner or later, it will be mine!" When the things are in my hands, I'll let him taste what it feels like to break bones and scatter ashes! ”
His face was cold and distorted. The driver shuddered and did not dare to look at him. After a few more compliments, he started the car.
Gu Shi'an's mind was a mess, and she didn't even know how she drove the car to the East Lane.
On this side of the East Lane is a well-known slum in Lincheng, where most of the people live are immigrants. The house is staggered, probably because it is winter, and it is gray all around. I don't know where the stinky gutter emits a smoky smell.
Although the weather is cold, there are still vendors setting up stalls on the roadside. The deaf pulled his head and locked his chin and half of his face into the collar. Only one pair of eyes are shown outside.
It's big here, and it's not easy to find someone.
Gu Shi'an found a place to stop the car, and when he got out of the car, he inquired door to door. Life has tormented people to the point of numbness, and who can notice who is moving in or out.
Gu Shi'an asked from alley to alley, looking for people everywhere on such a cold day, probably thinking that she was crazy and had eaten a lot of closed doors.
Gu Shi'an found ten o'clock in the evening from seven o'clock and didn't ask for any news. The streetlights in the alley were dim yellow, dragging her shadow long.
Her body was numb and numb from the cold, as if she couldn't feel it herself. After walking down an alley again, there was no news, and despair overwhelmed her little by little. She stood against the cold wall for a long time before she took out her mobile phone and called Chang Yin. In a hoarse voice, she asked if she knew where Chen Xiao lived.
It's no secret that Chen Xiao moved here. Chang Yan knows a little bit, but it's not detailed. Asked her to wait, and it didn't take long to send her a specific address.
She wasn't familiar with this side, and the house stretched deep into the corners. It was also difficult to find an address, so she finally took twenty dollars and asked a child to show her the way.
The place where Chen Xiao lives is in the depths of the alley, and the more he goes inside, the more cold it seems to be immersed in his bones. After walking for about ten minutes, the child led her to a small courtyard, pointed to the house number on it and told her that this was it.
His mission was accomplished, and he jumped and ran with the money.
Chen Xiao was not the only one living in the courtyard, Gu Shi'an pushed open the courtyard door and entered, and an aunt who was washing vegetables outside asked her who she was looking for.
When she had said that, she pointed to a low room next to her and told her that the people had not returned.
In the courtyard house, from time to time, there are people who come back from work riding in and out. It was inappropriate for Gu Shi'an to stand in the courtyard and wait, so he stood outside and waited.
When Chen Xiao returned, it was close to twelve o'clock in the evening. His face was indifferent, and he stopped when he was more than a dozen steps away from Gu Shi'an, and asked coldly, "Why are you here?" ”
Gu Shi'an didn't speak, just pursed his lips and looked at him stubbornly. After standing for a long time, her face was frozen blue.
Chen Xiao turned his face away and said impatiently: "If you have something to say, say it." ”
Gu Shi'an still didn't speak, just stood and looked at him. A pair of dark eyes reflected the shadow of the old effect.
Chen Xiao's patience was limited, and he didn't ask anymore when he saw that she didn't speak for a while. Walked over, went straight past her and walked into the yard.
Before he entered the courtyard gate, Gu Shi'an hugged him from behind.
Her hands were already cold, but she hugged him tightly. The frozen face was pressed against his back.
Chen Xiao probably didn't expect her to make such a move, and her body stiffened slightly. Then he wrenched her hand away little by little. Turn back to face him.
The alley was silent, save for the sound of snowflakes falling on the ground. Chen Xiao's handsome face curled with mockery under the dim yellow streetlamp. Said word by word: "Why, do you think that like this, I will like you?" Do you feel that you are about to be touched by yourself? Are you really good enough to be sentimental, thinking that I helped you, is it interesting to you? ”
His handsome face approached Gu Shi'an little by little, stretched out his fingers to lift her chin, and continued: "Aren't you awake yet? I don't know, your face has drained my appetite? Even if I beg you, do you stay away from me? ”
Every time he said a word, Gu Shi'an's face faded a little blood. Her mind was blank, her ears were buzzing, Chen Xiao's voice was obviously so close, but it was so far away. She couldn't hear anything clearly. I don't even know when he left her into the yard.
She stood in the icy snow, her face cold. She wanted to take a step, but there was a thousand pounds under her feet, and she couldn't move. She crouched slowly against the wall.
The words in her mind were repeated over and over again, and she finally stood up and walked towards the courtyard step by step.
Chen Xiao's room had already lit up, and she closed her eyes and walked over. Reached out and knocked on the door.
Chen Xiao quickly opened the door, and the room was shabby, with only a dim light. He didn't speak, just looked at her coldly with disgust.
Gu Shi'an avoided his gaze and took out the card he had prepared earlier from his coat pocket. In a low voice, he said, "If you don't want to see me again, take it." My father's business, thank you for your help. Maybe it's a little little, but it's something you can only afford to pay. ”
A grim smile appeared on her face. Bent down and put the card at the door, turned around and walked out of the yard step by step. The whole person is like a mechanical puppet.
When she reached the door, her body shook, but she walked out slowly.
She was like a walking corpse, and she didn't even know how she got back in the car. The heating in the car was not turned on, and she was as cold as ice.
The snow in the sky was falling heavier and heavier, hitting the windshield, gradually blurring her numb face. Chen Xiao's disgusted look came to her mind over and over again, and she looked at the roof of the car with her eyes open.
I don't know how long I sat there, but the whole person was frozen as if he was about to lose consciousness. The window was knocked.
Gu Shi'an's consciousness recovered little by little, and he slowly lowered the window. Standing outside was a patrolling policeman, who said politely: "Madam, your car has been parked here for a long time, do you need help?" ”
Gu Shi'an shook his head and said in a dumb voice.
The police were not reluctant, saying that there would be a snowstorm tonight. Let her go home as soon as possible so that nothing happens.
Gu Shi'an squeezed out a smile and said hello, and wanted to drive, but found that his hands and feet were numb from the cold.
Her face was pale, and there was no focus in her eyes. The whole person is in a trance. The policeman asked her if she needed help.
Gu Shi'an knew that he wouldn't be able to drive this car tonight, so he asked him to help him call a substitute driver in a dumb voice.
The policeman did his duty, and soon called a substitute driver. instructed Gu Shi'an to be sent home safely.
When Gu Shi'an got home, it was already past one o'clock in the morning, and the corridor was deserted. I forgot to turn off the heating in the house when I left, and the house was warm. But she seemed to have a chill in her bones. She slowly slid down the wall to the floor.
Gu Shi'an was in a mess this night, and woke up from his dream in a cold sweat. She stared blankly at the snow-white outside the window. Just sit like that until dawn.
Chang Yan called her early in the morning and asked her where she was. Her voice was still a little hoarse, and she replied that she was at home.
Chang Yan asked her if she had seen Chen Xiao in the past last night. Gu Shi'an didn't want her to worry, and said with a smile that he hadn't seen anyone in the past. He didn't go back.
Chang Yan didn't ask any further. Listening to her voice, I thought she hadn't slept well, so I let her rest.
Gu Shi'an responded and hung up the phone. He fell back on the bed and closed his eyes.
Gu Shi'an was woken up by someone, and she opened her eyes. After a long while, I saw clearly that the person standing next to the bed was Gu Lan. She tried to squeeze out a smile, but she couldn't. It wasn't until he sat up from the bed that he asked, "Why are you here, Sister Lobby?" ”
Gu Lan breathed a sigh of relief when she woke up, and said, "Today is the weekend, I happened to be resting, so I came over to see you." With a worried look on her face, she asked, "Is it a cold?" ”
Gu Shi'an shook his head and said that it was okay.
Gu Lan said at this time: "It's been a long sleep, get up quickly, I brought chicken soup and wontons, I'll cook it for you." ”
She's always been a man of action, and after that, she went outside.
Gu Shi'an's whole body was weak and weak, and he slowed down, and then got out of bed. I took out my phone and looked at it, only to find that she had indeed slept for half a day, and it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
Probably because she hadn't eaten for a long time, her head was a little dizzy. She paused, and then went to wash up.
She must have really caught a cold and had some stuff in her nose. Gu Lan brought her the chicken soup wontons, and she couldn't smell the fragrance.
Gu Lan can't be idle, and his family is a little messy. She sorted out as she spoke.
Gu Shi'an asked her not to mess with her, but she didn't want to do it, saying that it was just the work at hand.
When Gu Shi'an finished eating, she cautiously asked tentatively, "How is Chen Xiao's side?" ”
Gu Shi'an's body stiffened, and she had no intention of telling Gu Lan the truth. Squeezed out a smile and said, "I don't know, it shouldn't be a big deal." ”
Gu Lan nodded. I don't know what I remembered, but there was a bit of a trance on my face. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Shi'an, do you remember the last time Chen Xiao helped me find a lawyer?" ”
Gu Shi'an didn't know how she would mention this, nodded and said that she remembered.
Gu Lan smiled reluctantly, lowered his head, and said, "At that time, I was really cornered. But when you were like that, I couldn't accept his help. ”
Favor debts are the most difficult to repay, and she knows it all too well. What's more, the relationship between Gu Shi'an and him is no longer good, how can she drag her back.
