Chapter 220: Add to the fire
He knew too well what Gu Shi'an's weakness was, so he repeatedly moved Gu Shi'an's father and old lady out.
And the last sentence is completely a look of wholeheartedly for the Gu family, how can it not be moving.
Gu Shi'an didn't know what agreement they had reached with Gu Chengde, and they would come up with such a bargaining chip overnight. And it was not mentioned last night, apparently it was discussed on an ad hoc basis.
No matter how touching Gu Chengyun said, she didn't believe it at all. If it was really for the sake of the Gu family, then, on that day, they would not stand idly by. It's about trying to make things smaller.
At that time, none of them wanted to wade into the troubled waters.
Last night, she guessed that Gu Chengde might have given them some benefits. And now it seems that it should be in his hands, holding what they have...... Ugly handles.
Gu Chengyun said it so selflessly and so movingly, if she refused without thinking about it, it would inevitably seem too unkind.
Gu Shi'an didn't speak for a while, and after a while, he said, "You let me think about it." ”
With such a big benefit, how could anyone not be moved. Gu Chengyun was obviously relieved at this time, just thinking that Gu Shi'an just wanted to take Qiao again. He said earnestly: "Okay, you think about it again." I figured it out, although I told the third uncle. Don't worry, what the third uncle says counts. ”
Since Gu Shi'an has relented, it means that it is a matter of time before he should come down. Gu Chengyun kindly asked her to go down first to get busy. Just call him if you have something.
Gu Shi'an smiled slightly and said hello, and walked out of his office.
The office door closed, and Gu Chengyun sat back on the sofa with a long sigh of relief.
Although Gu Shi'an knew the road, Gu Chengyun's secretary still sent her to the elevator and waited for her to enter the elevator before leaving.
Entering the elevator, the smile on Gu Shi'an's face disappeared little by little. I just feel cold all over my body. The elevator stopped at the floor she had reached in a short time, and her legs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and every step was difficult.
She didn't go back to the office right away, took a deep breath, and went to the bathroom.
There was no one in the bathroom, and she washed her face with cold water. He stood in front of the mirror for a long time without moving.
If she didn't guess wrong, her father's accident was not just related to Gu Chengde. A chill rose from the soles of Gu Shi'an's feet, and she restrained herself from letting her teeth tremble.
If it weren't for that, she couldn't think of anything Gu Chengde could threaten them at all.
Seeing Lao Fang that day, Gu Chengde was still weak-hearted. So, they have to join forces and bring everything down.
In the year that Gu Shi'an's mind was blank, she couldn't even think of what kind of way they would suppress things.
Perhaps, they wanted to distract them by using the secretary's business. So that they can quietly dispose of all the evidence.
But what does it mean to buy her with shares? Do you want to take a step back and use this to compensate her? And then quietly reveal this matter?
Even if it's not her father, it's a living life! They even thought that they would just reveal the past so quietly!
Gu Shi'an's teeth trembled uncontrollably, as if he was in a cold cellar. She knew she wouldn't be wrong. They are all related to her father's death. In other words, her father's death would not have been an accident.
She restrained herself from calming down, and after a long pause, she walked out of the bathroom. She still didn't go back to the office, found a secluded and uninhabited place, and dialed Chen Xiao's phone.
Chen Xiao didn't know what he was doing, and no one answered the phone. Gu Shi'an didn't call again, sent him a text message, and simply said Gu Chengyun's promise today.
After doing all this, she didn't stay any longer and went back to the office.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Secretary Shen hurriedly walked out. Seeing Gu Shi'an, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm back." Mr. Sun heard that you were called upstairs and never came back, so he asked me to go up and have a look. ”
Gu Shi'an had calmed down, smiled slightly and said that it was okay.
Secretary Shen naturally knew that Gu Chengyun had something to do when she asked her to go up, so she looked into the office and asked, "Mr. Gu didn't embarrass you, right?" ”
Gu Shi'an shook his head and said no. She knew that Secretary Shen didn't believe that Gu Chengyun was looking for her, so she said that he was looking for her to talk about some private matters.
Since it is said to be a private matter, it is inconvenient to disclose. Secretary Shen didn't ask, and asked her to go to work first.
Although Chen Xiao never called back, when it was time to get off work in the afternoon, Gu Shi'an received a call from Assistant Sun. said that he was waiting for her in the square where he used to wait for her, and asked her to go directly after work.
He would come over, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was Chen Xiao's order. Gu Shi'an responded, and after going out, he went to the square.
Assistant Sun really waited for a long time, probably because he was afraid of being followed, so he didn't get out of the car.
Gu Shi'an knew the car, and quickly took the car door and sat down. Assistant Sun looked back in the rearview mirror before starting the car.
He didn't go around the bend, and said, "Mr. Chen can't come back for a while on a business trip, so let me come over......"
After all, this can be regarded as a family ugly. He was a little embarrassed and didn't continue.
Gu Shi'an knew, he knew it a long time ago. There was even a lot of news that he passed on to Chen Xiao. She didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and thanked Assistant Sun.
Of course, Assistant Sun didn't dare to take this credit, and waved his hand again and again to make Gu Shi'an not polite. He only paused slightly, put away the smile on his face, and said in a deep voice while driving the car: "Mr. Chen speculates that they should all be related to Ling Zun's car accident. ”
Gu Shi'an's face was not a little surprised when he said this, Assistant Sun knew that she had thought of it, and sighed slightly, and said, "What Mr. Chen means is to let you drag it first." He will take care of the rest. Don't refuse what they offer. ”
If you refuse, it's tantamount to tearing your face completely. This tears the face apart, and no one knows what kind of thing they will do.
Assistant Sun paused slightly after speaking, and then continued: "Mr. Chen said, you just need to drag them along." He will take care of the rest. ”
After Chen Xiao left, although he had made a phone call, Gu Shi'an always felt uneasy. It's like a lot of strangers.
She nodded, hesitated, and asked, "When will you Mr. Chen come back?" ”
probably didn't expect him to ask about Chen Xiao, Assistant Sun was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I should be back soon, what's going on over there...... It's a little tricky. He didn't stay on this topic, muttered slightly, and said, "Mr. Chen said that he would add a fire to them." There should be movement soon. ”
Assistant Sun had other things, but he sent Gu Shi'an to the gate of the community and drove away.
Gu Shi'an's heart was inexplicably heavy, and he stood in place for a while before going back.
When I got to the top of the stairs, I saw Chang Yan standing at the door with something at a glance. She didn't even call, Gu Shi'an stepped forward quickly, took out the key to open the door and asked, "Why don't you call?" ”
Chang Yan smiled and said, "I just came over." Pinch you to get off work. ”
All she was carrying in her hands was food, and Gu Shi'an wanted to help, but she said no. Carrying things straight to the restaurant.
Gu Shi'an took a cup and poured water for her, and then asked, "Why did you come over suddenly?" ”
Chang Yan took the water, smiled, and said, "No, I haven't seen you for so long, come and have a look." Of course, this was not the main purpose of her coming, after a slight pause, she raised a pair of eyes to look at Gu Shi'an, and asked, "How are things going?" ”
Gu Shi'an's father's affairs, with Chen Xiao's handling, there is almost no need for her to intervene.
Gu Shi'an didn't hide it from her, and told Gu Chengde that Gu Chengde asked her to find her three times and twice, as well as the compensation that Gu Chengyun and they proposed. And said his own guess.
Chang Yan pursed his lips, reached out and clasped Gu Shi'an's cold hand, and said, "If there is anything I need to do, just tell me." ”
Gu Shi'an didn't know why he was in a trance for a moment, and then simply responded with a good word.
The more she talked about this topic, the more dull it became, and she quickly changed the topic and asked with a smile, "What delicious food did you bring here?" ”
She said and opened the insulated box and lunch box that Chang Yan had brought over.
The insulated box contains the fragrant chicken soup, and the bento box contains the snacks from the recent store.
Speaking of food, Chang Yin's face showed a smile and said, "Try it, this dim sum is the best selling in the store recently." I'm going to push some new ones one after another. ”
These snacks were baked by herself, and she asked Gu Lan for advice. Originally, I just wanted to try it out, but I didn't expect the withdrawal to be quite popular. There are also customers who come to the store to buy snacks.
Gu Shi'an took a piece of dim sum and ate it, muttered vaguely, and said, "Just look at it." ”
Chang Yan did not stay to rest, and left at ten o'clock in the evening. Gu Shi'an wanted to send her down, but she didn't let her. Let her rest early, she will call her when she arrives.
I don't know why, Gu Shi'an always feels very empty. I didn't go to wash up right away, and I stood on the balcony for a long time before I went to wash.
Gu Shi'an had insomnia, tossing and turning until more than two o'clock in the morning before falling asleep. As soon as it was dawn, her bedside phone vibrated with a whining.
Her mind was foggy, and when she saw the call on her phone, her mind immediately cleared up and she picked up the phone.
It was the aunt on the other side of the villa who called, and as soon as the phone was connected, she said anxiously: "Shi'an, the old lady suddenly has a fever for some reason." ”
You don't have to think about it to know that the old lady must have burned badly, otherwise she wouldn't have called at this time.
Gu Shi'an almost immediately got up from the bed, pulled his clothes and put them on casually, and asked, "Did you call a doctor?" ”
"It's already called. The doctor should be on his way to get there. The old lady was obviously fine before going to bed last night, who knows......"
Who knew that a fever would suddenly start in the early morning. During this time, the old lady had not slept well, and she got up several times every night to see her. Otherwise, I don't know what it will be like when I find it at dawn.
It's so remote that it takes a while for the doctor to rush there. Gu Shi'an forced himself to calm down, and hurriedly got out of bed and said, "You first wipe the old lady with warm water to cool down." I'll be right over. ”
The aunt responded again and again on the phone, but she still didn't mess up in the end, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Do you want to call the eldest master?" ”
It is not easy to recover from illness when she is old, and the old lady is now burning badly. If there's something to it, those ...... They are all unforgiving.
Gu Shi'an didn't expect this stubble when he was in a hurry, and he responded when he heard his aunt remind him so much. The aunt didn't say much and quickly hung up the phone.
Gu Shi'an didn't even have time to wash, so he grabbed his mobile phone and put on his shoes and ran downstairs. The car was the most difficult time to fight in the early morning, and she didn't have time to think about anything, so she went up to stop the car when she saw it.
Her luck was good, and the car stopped when she stopped the third car. The driver was originally going to go back to the shift, but he stopped when he saw her in such a hurry.
Rao is Gu Shi'an did not delay, and it was already past six o'clock when he arrived at the villa. The doctor has arrived, the others have not yet arrived.
She was so anxious that she rushed to the old lady's room almost as soon as she entered. When I got to the door, I saw the aunt outside, and I realized that the doctor was still in the old lady's room.
She didn't dare to rush in, and walked back and forth several times outside before the doctor came out of it.
The doctor was a doctor invited by Chen Xiao, and he knew everything about Gu Shi'an. Tell her that the old lady is fine, just a cold. The resistance is poor, so it will burn in the middle of the night. He has now given the old lady fever-reducing medicine, which should be reduced in about half an hour.
At this time, several other families have come one after another, and they all came in a hurry after receiving the notice from the aunt.
No one was surprised after seeing Gu Shi'an, and asked the doctor about the old lady's physical condition. The doctor was not as casual in front of them as he was in front of Gu Shi'an, and said that the old lady had a cold, but her body resistance was poor, and she had to recuperate.
There was a bit of the old lady's overthinking in her words.
The doctor was woken up in a hurry, and his face was a little tired after the treatment. The old lady's fever has not completely subsided, and she is afraid of repeating. Gu Shi'an asked the doctor to stay, and asked the aunt to clean up the guest room and take the doctor to rest.
The old lady's illness was menacing, and although the doctor said it was just a cold, no one dared to leave, and they all sat down on the sofa.
They all came in a hurry, and they didn't eat. There was chaos on this side of the villa, and the aunt was not prepared. At this time, I hurriedly made breakfast. Fortunately, there are enough dishes in the refrigerator, so there is no rush at this time.
The atmosphere in the living room was low and depressing, probably tired from being tossed before dawn, and a group of people were sitting in the living room.
Auntie also had to prepare breakfast by herself, and Gu Shi'an went to the kitchen to help.
In the early winter, the weather was supposed to be late, breakfast was almost done, and the genius outside was brightly lit.
When breakfast was put on the table, Gu Shi'an noticed that the living room was unusually quiet. Not a single person made a sound.
Something is wrong with this, Gu Shi'an paused slightly, and invited them to breakfast as usual.
She had just approached, and the mobile phone in Gu Chengde's hand suddenly vibrated with a whining. It looks like someone is texting over.
Gu Chengde was about to pick up his mobile phone to look, when he looked up and saw Gu Shi'an walking over, he forcibly put the mobile phone back again.
Gu Shi'an just didn't see it, and politely invited everyone over for breakfast.
The morning was so tired that they got up and walked to the restaurant without even saying a kind word.
Gu Chengde walked behind, and when everyone sat down at the table, Gu Shi'an realized that he didn't follow.
She looked over there in the living room, but there was no Gu Chengde there, and she didn't know where she went.
She then said, "I'll go and see where the second uncle went." ”
Gu Chengde didn't come to the restaurant, so he should have gone out. She said she was about to go outside. As soon as he took a step, Gu Chengyun said: "Don't worry about your second uncle, there is something going on in the company, he should go to call." You've been busy all morning, so come and sit down and eat. ”
His tone was utterly gentle. Just like a kind elder. This is probably related to Gu Shi'an's consideration.
Gu Shi'an didn't go out at this time, sat down and started eating.
There was silence at the dinner table, only Xu Jiarong seemed to be a little absent-minded, and the spoon would touch the wall of the bowl from time to time. There was an abrupt crunching sound.
If it was ordinary, Gu Shi'an's third aunt would have been sarcastic. But today, she didn't react at all. didn't even glance at Xu Jiarong.
This meal didn't last long, and I probably didn't have an appetite. Soon they all put down the dishes and chopsticks. Until they all left, Gu Chengde did not come back.
I don't know if I was afraid that Gu Shi'an would ask to find it again or what, Gu Chengyun took the lead in standing up and said that he was going out to have a look.
As soon as he arrived at the gate, Gu Chengde strode in. His brows furrowed tightly, and when he saw Gu Chengyun's footsteps, he paused, and turned around and went out again.
I don't know what happened, not long after the two went out, Gu Chengping also went out.
A few people stayed outside for more than ten minutes, and when they came in again, there were only two people, Gu Chengping and Gu Chengyun. Because it was a bit long to go out, all eyes were on them for a while.
Gu Chengping was silent as always, although Gu Chengyun's face was not very good-looking, he still squeezed out a smile and said, "There is something going on in the company, the second brother has to go back and deal with it." ”
This is addressed to all the people in the house.
He obviously said that there was something, Gu Chengde left in a hurry, but Xu Jiarong didn't ask anything. On the contrary, he squeezed out a smile.
The atmosphere in the living room was a little weird, Gu Chengyun wanted to be good at dancing with long sleeves, looked at the time, and said, "Everyone didn't sleep well, go to sleep." It's enough for me and my eldest brother to guard here. ”
No, the old lady is asleep now. Sitting is also dry sitting.
After he finished speaking, his gaze moved to Gu Shi'an's body, and said kindly: "Shi'an, go to sleep too, you are also tired." Grandma don't worry, there is a doctor. ”
The old lady hadn't woken up yet, and Gu Shi'an couldn't rest assured, so she said no. She's not sleepy either.
Gu Chengyun talked about it early, even if he wasn't sleepy, he had to go to sleep. lest the old lady wake up and need to be taken care of when she loses her spirits.
In this way, it seems like she's breaking away. Gu Shi'an looked at the room where the old lady slept, and finally squeezed out a smile to say hello. I went upstairs with her aunts.
She couldn't sleep at all, and she didn't sleep when she got back to her room. Instead, he stood at the window and looked out of the villa.
There was no one outside, and no one went out. She stood for four or five minutes before she went to the bathroom to wash her face.
Today's people are obviously wrong. When did this go wrong? I didn't notice it when I came in, it should have started after she entered the kitchen.
Gu Shi'an stood still for a while, not knowing what had happened outside in this short period of time. But no matter what happened, it was clearly avoiding her.
Gu Shi'an suddenly remembered what Assistant Sun said at this moment.
Yes, the only thing that can make them avoid her together is what happened recently. It's just that I don't know what Chen Xiao did there, Gu Chengde would leave in such a hurry.
Gu Shi'an originally wanted to call and ask, but took out his mobile phone, but in the end he didn't call. After sitting for a while, I went to bed and lay down.
She closed her eyes here, but the living room was cloudy. Gu Chengping was sitting on the sofa, while Gu Chengyun was walking back and forth in the living room.
After walking several laps, he looked upstairs, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Big brother, what should you do now?" ”
In the past, he always followed Gu Chengde and Gu Chengping to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but this time, he couldn't sit still.
Gu Chengping's face didn't show that he was in a hurry, only tired. Hearing Gu Chengyun's question, his hand was still on his forehead, and he said tiredly: "The second child has already gone to see it." I'll wait for news from his side. ”
Gu Chengyun's fists were clenched tightly, he was obviously not as calm as Gu Chengping, and asked with some anxiety: "Who do you think it will be?" ”
This was asked in vain, if Gu Chengping knew who it was, then he would not be sitting here now.
Gu Chengping didn't answer his words, and he didn't speak again, forcing himself to calm down and sit down on the sofa.
The waiting time was difficult, Gu Chengde counted that he had already arrived in the city, but he never called.
Gu Chengyun wanted to call him several times, but he didn't know what he thought of, so he suppressed it. He sat restlessly on the couch.
I don't know how long it took, but the phone on the coffee table rang. Gu Chengyun picked up the phone almost immediately.
