Chapter 145: Thoughts
This master Gu Shi'an naturally couldn't do it, but he still made a serious look and looked at it again, and replied, "It's all right." ”
The answer is as if there was no answer.
Chen Xiao glanced at her, but didn't say anything, turned around and asked the shopping guide to wrap one of the necklaces. Then he pointed to a crystal clear jade bracelet next to him and said, "Wrap this up too." ”
The price of the bracelet was much more expensive than the necklace, and Gu Shi'an didn't know how he could buy two gifts, but he didn't ask, and stood honestly on the side.
The shopping guide quickly wrapped up the things, and it was almost twelve o'clock in the circle around the mall. Gu Shi'an originally thought that he would go directly to the villa now, but he didn't.
After getting into the car and driving for a while, Chen Xiao glanced sideways at Gu Shi'an and asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”
Gu Shi'an was thinking about things, but he didn't react for a while. He looked at her blankly.
She was misty, and her dark eyes seemed to reflect the shadow of the old effect. Chen Xiao has always hated people who react slowly, but at this moment, his heart was hit hard for some reason.
He quickly turned his head sideways, looked up at the time, and said, "It's already past twelve o'clock." Eat and then go over. ”
He is the big boss, and of course he has the final say when it passes.
Gu Shi'an only reacted at this time, so he said that he could eat anything.
Chen Xiao didn't ask her again, his fingers casually tapped a few times on the steering wheel, and turned his head at the intersection in front of him.
The car drove for about 20 minutes and stopped in front of a wooden building with a red lantern. Chen Xiao quickly opened the car door and got out of the car.
Gu Shi'an came back to his senses and followed him out of the car.
The decoration in the wooden building is simple, and the smell of wood is everywhere. Chen Xiao was led by the waiter all the way inside, and then entered the room at the very end.
The decoration inside was elegant, and the waiter poured tea for the two of them, and then took out the menu and handed it to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao took the menu and looked at it, but he didn't order it, but pushed it in front of Gu Shi'an.
Gu Shi'an looked at the menu in front of him, naturally he didn't order it, and said, "You can just order." ”
Now in terms of identity, she is Chen Xiao's subordinate. With the big boss, how can there be a reason to let your subordinates order first.
Chen Xiao naturally knew what she meant, and after a slight pause, he took the menu back to the person, and then ordered. And ask the waiter to bring up some snacks to cushion his stomach.
The waiter should go down and go down quickly. There were only two people left in the private room.
Chen Xiao took two sips of tea before reaching out and pushing the window open. Outside the window is a small courtyard, planted with lush flowers and plants, elegant and chic. The window was pushed open, adding a bit of color to the room.
Gu Shi'an had nothing to say, so he lowered his head and drank tea with his cup.
Chen Xiao's cell phone rang, and he looked at it. Then he picked up the phone. It didn't take long for him to hang up the phone and get up and go to the bathroom.
The speed here is fast, and it doesn't take long for a plate of pastries to be delivered. Gu Shi'an only made a cup of cereal in the morning, and he was hungry at this time. I took a piece of pastry and ate it slowly.
The pastries in her hand were just finished, and the waiters served them one after another.
Chen Xiao went to the bathroom for a long time, and he didn't come back until the last dish came up.
When the meal was about to be finished, Chen Xiao looked at Gu Shi'an, and suddenly asked, "Don't you think this place is a little familiar?" ”
Gu Shi'an really didn't feel familiar, and looked up at him.
Chen Xiao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "This is the bamboo garden in the past. It's just been refurbished. ”
Speaking of Zhuyuan, Gu Shi'an knows it. She paused slightly. There was a slight moment of trance.
She had been in a daze in the car just now, and she didn't even notice that the car was coming this way.
She didn't speak, just quickly put down her chopsticks.
Chen Xiao seemed to mention it casually, and didn't say anything more.
Gu Shi'an put down the chopsticks, he picked up his coat, got up and went to check out and leave. Probably doing something or something, the store sent a small snack, and Chen Xiao casually handed it to Gu Shi'an at the back.
The dim sum was packed in a box, and when he got into the car and fastened his seat belt, the box spread out a little, and Gu Shi'an noticed that the small dim sum inside turned out to be fried balls. It was the signature dim sum in the bamboo garden in the past, and she was a must-order every time she came over.
She quickly closed the box and looked sideways out the window.
Zhuyuan is indeed not strange to her at all, in other words, it is actually quite familiar. It's just that I didn't expect that after so many years, it will be unrecognizable. Gu Shi'an closed his eyes.
The first time she confessed to Chen Xiao was in the bamboo garden. Then......
It had been so long since she had thought about it, and it felt like centuries had passed. It's been so long, it's been so long, and the memories have been blurred by time. Many, so many, she can't even remember.
She didn't want to think about it, and her eyes were tightly closed and she didn't move.
Chen Xiao didn't speak, and the car was very quiet for a while. It takes more than an hour to get to the villa here, probably because they have been delayed for a long time, and on the way, Assistant Sun called to urge.
Chen Xiao ignored him, and hung up the phone directly after saying how long it would take.
When he got to the ground, Assistant Sun had been waiting for a long time. As soon as the car stopped, he stepped forward to open the door for Chen Xiao and said, "Mr. Dashi has been waiting for a while. ”
Chen Xiao raised his wrist to look at the time, did not speak, and walked inside.
It was not only Mr. Da Shi who was waiting in the villa, but also another man in his forties. and Da Shi should always be friends, and the two are sitting and chatting.
Seeing Chen Xiao and the two, he stood up and greeted Chen Xiao with a smile.
Obviously, Chen Xiao was not in a hurry on the road, but at this time, he found an excuse for traffic jams on the road.
This place was changed temporarily by Mr. Dashi, and everyone exchanged a few words of greeting and brought the matter over.
Mr. Dashi's gaze quickly stopped on Gu Shi'an's body, and said with a slight smile: "This is Miss Gu, right?" ”
Because Assistant Sun had already explained, Gu Shi'an calmly stepped forward to say hello.
Mr. Shi and Mrs. Shi's impression of Gu Shi'an should be very good, and Mr. Shi is always polite to Gu Shi'an. After a few greetings, I headed to the golf course.
Both of them brought young female companions, and it was impossible to tell if it was a subordinate or something else.
In fact, there is nothing to do with Chen Xiao and Assistant Sun, there is nothing to do with Gu Shi'an, there is Chen Xiao on the business side, and Assistant Sun on trivial matters. Her job is to be there with a smile on her face.
The sun was warm, and after standing for about an hour, Assistant Sun walked to her side, looked at the figures of the people in the distance, and said, "Miss Gu, do you want to rest for a while?" Mr. Chen, there should be some time before it ends. ”
There is no shade here, the sun is warm when it is just shining, and at this time, dense fine sweat has appeared on Gu Shi'an's forehead.
The purpose of her coming over was actually just to show her face, but she didn't refuse, and nodded in response.
Assistant Sun took her to the villa now. As he walked, he said: "If you don't always wash the dust at night, it should be a little late." I've opened a room for you. You take a break first. By the way, there is a small hot spring here, and I have a good card here, so you can go to the hot spring. ”
He arranged it properly, as if Gu Shi'an didn't come here to work, but to play.
As he spoke, he handed the card to Gu Shi'an, but Gu Shi'an didn't answer it, and said, "No, thank you." ”
Where would Assistant Sun pay attention to her, he directly gave her the card, and said in a low voice, this is prepared by the company, no need to use it in vain.
He had something to do, so he sent Gu Shi'an to the door of the room that had been arranged and left.
I just came in from outside, and the room was much cooler. Gu Shi'an sighed softly, and then went to the bathroom to wash his face.
She didn't sleep well at night and woke up early in the morning. His brain was already dazed in the sun, and he fell directly into bed.
She fell into a drowsy sleep, waiting to wake up, the sun had already set in the west, and it was already afternoon.
She remembered what Assistant Sun said about picking up the wind and washing dust for Mr. Shi, washed quickly, and then called Assistant Sun.
It's been a few hours, and they haven't even returned. It's still over there.
Assistant Sun told her to rest her, and when he came back, he would call her.
Gu Shi'an's drowsiness has woken up now, where can he still sleep. And he went out of the room.
The lodge and the golf course have been built for several years, and she has been here before, but she is no stranger to it.
She went downstairs, circled outside, and walked along the tree-lined path. Sit down on a stone bench by the side of the road.
I don't know why, she was in a trance. She sat for a long time, until it was dark, and then she walked back.
Assistant Sun hadn't called, but before she reached the end of the trail, she saw Chen Xiao coming over.
He had already changed into civilian clothes, and his brow furrowed at the sight of her. "Where did you go?" ”
He looked like he had been specially found.
"Just go for a walk." Gu Shi'an replied.
Chen Xiao glanced at her and said, "Don't you know that there are many mosquitoes here?" ”
No, there are many mosquitoes in the jungle in summer. Gu Shi'an's arms and legs had been stabbed several times. She didn't speak, but walked on.
Chen Xiao didn't speak again, and the two went back to the booked private room one after another.
At this time, several people have already changed their clothes. Although Chen Xiao was not there, Assistant Sun livened up the atmosphere, and the private room was lively.
After all, there are not as many pastimes here as there are in the city, and the two of them brought female companions, and the dinner ended at eleven o'clock.
At this time, it was not too late, and while Chen Xiao sent the two out, Gu Shi'an asked Assistant Sun in a low voice: "Can I leave tonight?" ”
Assistant Sun was slightly stunned for a moment, with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, and said, "This ...... I'll have to ask Mr. Chen. And the driver wasn't here. ”
At the dinner, Mr. Da Shi had already said that she was leaving tomorrow, and the purpose of her coming here was just to show her face. There's no need for her anymore.
She then said, "It's okay, I don't need a driver." I'll just go back myself. There should be a car here. ”
Assistant Sun probably didn't expect her to say that, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "It's such a big night, how can you go back by yourself." I invited you here, and of course I am responsible for your safety. Don't worry, I'll call and ask if the driver can come over now. ”
Gu Shi'an originally wanted to say no, but Assistant Sun had already picked up his mobile phone and went out to make a call.
For a while, Gu Shi'an was the only one left in the private room. She sat for a short time before Assistant Sun walked back. There was a bit of embarrassment on his face, and he said, "Miss Gu." I've already called. There's something going on with the driver, I'm afraid I won't be able to come. Would you like to stay here for one night? The driver will come early tomorrow morning. It's already past eleven o'clock, so how can you go down the mountain alone at this time. ”
His hands were rubbed together, and he looked very rare.
Gu Shi'an no longer embarrassed him, and said, "Then let's leave tomorrow morning." ”
Assistant Sun breathed a sigh of relief at this time, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "I'll ask him to send you back as soon as the driver comes over tomorrow morning." He looked at the time and said, "If you can't sleep, you can go to the hot springs at this time, do you want me to call someone to ......come over?"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Shi'an said no, go back to the room first.
Her figure was soon at the end of the corridor, and Assistant Sun breathed a sigh of relief and took out his mobile phone to call Chen Xiao.
Gu Shi'an didn't know that he was coming here, and he didn't bring any daily necessities. It was probably ordered by Chen Xiao, and a new set of pajamas was sent over from the villa.
She had taken a shower and had just dried her hair when there was no knock on the door.
At this time, she didn't know who it was, she pulled her hair haphazardly, and then went over to open the door.
Standing outside the door was Chen Xiao. He had a small box in his hand. Without saying anything about entering the door, he handed her the small box at the door and said, "This is for you." ”
The thing was in a box, and I couldn't see anything. Gu Shi'an didn't pick it up.
Chen Xiao didn't urge her, looked into the room, and said, "I'm just thirsty, pour me a glass of water." ”
As he spoke, he was about to go to the house, where would Gu Shi'an let him in, and said, "There is water in your room." There is also water in the downstairs hall. ”
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. Glancing down the hallway behind him, he said, "Do you think it's appropriate to keep me waiting here?" ”
Yes, it was already eleven o'clock at this time. But there are still guests in the hallway from time to time. Then it is indeed inappropriate to stand and speak.
Gu Shi'an was silent for a moment and said, "If you have something, you can say it." ”
Chen Xiao had already squeezed into the room from the other side and said, "Who has something to stand in the corridor and say?" ”
He had drunk a lot of wine at that time, and there was nothing abnormal except for the slight redness on his face.
There was no need for Gu Shi'an to say hello, he poured himself a glass of water when he arrived in the house, and then sat down on the small sofa on the side. Apparently not seeing himself as an outsider.
Gu Shi'an closed the door and didn't speak. Waiting for him to drink the water from the cup, he asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Chen Xiao sighed and said, "Aunt Ye said that I haven't seen you for a long time, so let you go over tomorrow to see her." ”
Speaking of Ye Qinglai, Gu Shi'an fell silent at this time. In the end, he still asked, "Is she okay?" ”
"It's not good." Chen Xiao said, paused, and then said: "She has been talking to you several times to let you pass. ”
Gu Shi'an didn't speak, and after a while, he said, "I'll go another day." ”
Chen Xiao stopped talking now, he was probably a little uncomfortable, and wanted to reach out to touch the cigarette, but after touching it, he found that he didn't bring the cigarette at all.
He took another sip of the glass and asked, "Is that snack delicious?" ”
Even if he didn't explain, Gu Shi'an knew that it was the dim sum brought by Zhuyuan. Chen Xiao will take her over, naturally it will not be for no reason.
She suddenly lost her mind and didn't answer.
Chen Xiao saw that she was silent and didn't speak again, and the room was suddenly quiet. He probably wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, Gu Shi'an said, "I'm going to sleep." ”
Gu Shi'an knew that he was playing Laipi's kung fu, and after speaking, he walked to the door and opened the door.
Chen Xiao couldn't stop leaving, so he had to stand up.
Although he was gone, the small gift he brought with him was left on the sofa. Gu Shi'an originally wanted to send it to him, but in the end he didn't go, put the things aside, and planned to return them to him tomorrow.
After sleeping a lot during the day, Gu Shi'an couldn't sleep at all. He just stared blankly at the ceiling, and after a long time, he closed his eyes tiredly.
Assistant Sun did not break his promise, and the driver came over early the next morning to inform Gu Shi'an.
Gu Shi'an originally planned to go back directly, but who knew before he got into the car, Chen Xiao handed over the phone and said, "Aunt Ye wants to talk to you." ”
It was a coincidental call.
Gu Shi'an hesitated for a moment, answered the phone, and called Aunt Ye.
Ye Qing's voice sounded the same as before, and when he took the phone, he asked her why she didn't go over to see her, if she didn't plan to pay attention to her anymore.
Gu Shi'an hurriedly said no.
Ye Qing asked her to go over today, she had already bought vegetables. Make something for her.
Gu Shi'an couldn't shirk it, so he had to say yes.
She originally thought that Chen Xiao was going to send Mr. Dashi to the airport, but she didn't, he made a phone call, and then got into the car.
Gu Shi'an originally gave him the gift box he put down last night, looked at the driver in front of him, but finally didn't take it out.
Chen Xiao made a lot of calls all the way, and he did not go back to the company, but also went directly to the old house. Gu Shi'an has been here since the old lady passed away, and unlike Xiao Su in early spring, the ivy in the yard is extremely dense and vibrant.
But the courtyard was deserted, and from the eaves of the porch, you could even see that the depression was in decline.
After not coming over for too long, Gu Shi'an was slightly distracted. Suddenly I remembered that the old lady was here, and her eyes were slightly sour.
Ye Qing opened the door and came out when he heard the sound of the car, and after the old lady left, there were not many people left in the old mansion, and there were only three or four people counting her.
Probably because the old lady passed away, she looked much older than before, and there were gray hairs in her hair.
Gu Shi'an got out of the car, and as soon as he called Aunt Ye, Ye Qing patted her and said, "You kid, you know that Aunt Ye is alone, but you just come to see me." ”
She should know the current relationship between Gu Shi'an and Chen Xiao. She didn't mention it, took Gu Shi'an's hand and walked inside.
Gu Shi'an's eyes moistened slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "How is your body?" ”
Ye Qing smiled slightly and said, "It's okay." It's just that when people are old, there are always some small problems. ”
As she spoke, she asked Gu Shi'an to sit down, and she was going to pour her tea. Where would Gu Shi'an ask her to pour tea for her, let her sit down, and say that she was not thirsty.
Although she said so, Chen Xiao still went to pour a cup of tea, and asked the newly invited aunt to bring a snack.
I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I obviously have a lot to say, but when I do, I don't know where to start.
Instead, Ye Qing spoke first, looked at Gu Shi'an kindly, and asked, "Aunt Ye sees that you have lost weight again, have you been very busy lately?" Don't rely on your youth, you have to eat when it's time to eat, and stay up less late. ”
Chen Xiao didn't tell her about Gu Shi'an, and she didn't know that she had resigned.
Gu Shi'an nodded obediently.
Ye Qing looked at her distressedly, asked about Gu Shi'an's recent life, and asked about Mrs. Gu.
Gu Shi'an answered them all one by one.
Ye Qing couldn't sit still, and after sitting for a while, she asked Chen Xiao to accompany Gu Shi'an, so she got up and went to the kitchen, saying that she was going to cook for Gu Shi'an to cook the dishes she liked to eat. Gu Shi'an wanted to help her, but she also refused, saying that an aunt would help her.
In the past, she took care of the old lady, but after the old lady passed away, her health was not very good, so Chen Xiao re-invited her aunt.
Gu Shi'an and Chen Xiao had nothing to say, she took a sip of tea, and then looked up.
The furnishings here are the same as before, probably because of the fear of seeing things and thinking about people, and the things that the old lady usually uses have been put away. In the living room, I always feel that something is missing.
The situation when the old lady was there came to mind, Gu Shi'an's eyes were very astringent, and he lowered his head to drink tea.
Chen Xiao was silent on the side and did not speak, and after a long while, he spoke: "I have asked Aunt Ye to put away the things that grandma left for you." Take it with you when you go, and leave it to think about it. ”
Speaking of the old lady, his voice was deep.
The things he said were all jewelry left by the old lady. are all valuable items. Gu Shi'an naturally wouldn't accept it, so he didn't speak.
Chen Xiao had already guessed her attitude like this, and originally wanted to let her hand over the things left in the old lady's will to the lawyer, but in the end she didn't speak again.
Speaking of the old lady, Gu Shi'an remembered Chen Zhengkang's family. During this time, although she had never heard of Chen Zhengkang, she heard that Chen Xun had partnered with others to open a company.
