Gu Shi'an was calm, and after work, his grandmother asked Uncle Fu to send money. She directly transferred the account to Chang Yan and told her that she had a party tonight and couldn't go over. I'll go over to see Xiaohuzi after work another day.

Chang Yan did not doubt him, thanked her sincerely, and promised that he would definitely return the money to her.

Gu Shi'an was somewhat helpless to her politeness, and asked her to hurry up and pay the fee to set the operation time, and then hung up the phone.

The pedestrians on the street were in a hurry, and she was slightly in a trance. Immediately took a taxi directly to Kaifeng. It was only seven o'clock when she arrived, and she didn't call Chen Xiao, just sat in the corner of the hall. Keep your eyes on the doorway.

She thought that she would be more or less in a bad mood, but in fact, her heart was calm. I don't know why, she suddenly remembered Chen Xiaolai who was looking for Chang Yan that night.

She didn't even know why he had suddenly started targeting her again.

Gu Shi'an was slightly self-deprecating, in fact, this is normal. She is to Chen Xiao......

She closed her eyes and didn't think any more. Just sat blankly, staring at the door.

She came over early to wait, just because she was afraid that Chen Xiao would play some tricks temporarily. But at eight o'clock, Chen Xiao's figure still did not appear.

Gu Shi'an squeezed the mobile phone in his hand. A few minutes before eight o'clock, she dialed Chen Xiao's number. As she had expected, a mechanically cold female voice came over the phone, indicating that it had been turned off.

Yes, Chen Xiao has always had a lot of means in this regard, and after so many years, she should get used to it.

Waiting for this time is actually nothing, she has also waited on the side of the road for most of the night in the cold winter wax moon.

Gu Shi'an was slightly in a trance, and his heart was cold. She should be angry, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

She took a deep breath, stood up, and walked to the front desk.

The front desk is polite, I heard that she is looking for someone, and does not answer that the person is not there. Just ask if there is an appointment.

Gu Shi'an smiled and said that he had already made an appointment and asked her to come here. But now the other party's mobile phone is turned off.

The front desk hesitated, saying that it had to ask first. Let Gu Shi'an wait for a while.

Although it is not specified, but in this way, it is obvious that Chen Xiao is here. Gu Shi'an was not surprised at all, since Chen Xiao wanted to embarrass her, he naturally wanted to see her. It's just a matter of making the process a little more tortuous.

Gu Shi'an smiled and nodded, and stood quietly on the side.

It was probably Chen Xiao who said hello, and the front desk did not call in front of Gu Shi'an, but hurriedly went to the manager.

Gu Shi'an stood for about three or four minutes before the front desk came back, said sorry, and said politely: "Mr. Chen said please go up." ”

Gu Shi'an smiled and said thank you. The receptionist took her to the elevator, told her the room number, and pressed the elevator floor for her, and then stepped aside.

Gu Shi'an looked at the number of floors of the elevator all the way, and at this moment, she should be worried. But strangely, there was no wave in her heart. It's as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

The numbers on the elevator kept changing, and when they reached the floor, Gu Shi'an's footsteps paused slightly before he walked out.

Standing in front of the room, she reached out and knocked on the door. I just called, Chen Xiao should have known that she was going to come up. But she waited at the door for five minutes before it opened.

He was probably in the shower. Wearing a bathrobe, his thick hair is still dripping with water. He didn't even look at Gu Shi'an, opened the door and walked inside.

Gu Shi'an paused slightly, followed in, and closed the door.

The room here was much bigger than she had imagined, and it was filled with random daily necessities. It can be seen that Chen Xiao lives here permanently.

Probably all those days and nights when he didn't go back, he was here.

Gu Shi'an was slightly in a trance, obviously prepared when he came. Only then did she realize that it was actually difficult to speak.

Chen Xiao quickly took out a cigarette and lit it, and did not speak, a pair of narrow eyes stared at Gu Shi'an so coldly.

The large room was silent for a moment, and there was not even the sound of a needle falling on the floor.

Gu Shi'an finally looked up at him, she couldn't call out the two words of Mr. Chen, and said with difficulty: "I want to talk to you about the price of materials." ”

Chen Xiao's lips hooked up a touch of mockery, reached out and dusted the cigarette ash in his hand, and said with a smile: "What are you going to talk to me about?" ”

There was contempt in his tone, and there was no hiding in it.

yes, what did she talk to him about? If she had enough chips in her hand, she wouldn't have come to him to beg him. He hit the nail on the head.

He knew everything, so he asked just to remind her.

She was tired, and she was no stranger to such an old effect. He has been like this to her all the time in the past.

Gu Shi'an's face was calm, and a pair of eyes without any waves looked at Chen Xiao, and said, "You have seen it, so I should still have merit." ”

Her tone was calm and numb.

Chen Xiao glanced at her with a smile, slowly approached, reached out and hooked her chin, attached it to her ear, and said casually: "You do have a lot of merits." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the cuff of her shirt, which was slightly open. The desirability of a few words is specially bitten a little hard.

After a slight pause, the corners of his mouth hooked up a little mockery, and he said word by word: "But do you think I'm rare?" ”

He said as he stepped back, his eyes cold.

Yes, he is indeed not uncommon. Gu Shi'an was a little self-deprecating, she couldn't afford to lose this business.

Chang Yan needs money over there, and. She also had to pay back the money from the old lady's side as soon as possible. If she let Gu Su know about borrowing money from the old lady, I don't know what else will happen.

She was silent for a moment, then asked, "What do you want?" ”

Isn't all he wants is to torture and humiliate her? Then she will let him torture and humiliate.

As if he was sure that he had already eaten her, Chen Xiao shrugged his shoulders, spat out a puff of smoke, and said with a smile: "I don't want to do anything." After a slight pause, he continued, "You need to know that you came to me." If you want a low price, take out your chips. ”

He was a little lazy, his gaze stayed on Gu Shi'an's body for a moment, took a step forward, and said in her ear: "It also depends on what kind of identity you use to talk to me." ”

Gu Shi'an's body stiffened, she took half a step back slightly, looked up at Chen Xiao's, smiled faintly, and said, "I'm stupid, please say it directly." There's no need to go around the bush. ”

The sneer on the corner of Chen Xiao's mouth resurfaced, and he spat out the smoke again, saying, "Are you stupid?" It's really self-humble. ”

There was sarcasm in his tone. Faintly angry.

He was so angry that for no reason, Gu Shi'an suppressed all his fatigue and said, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

Chen Xiao suddenly stepped forward, pinched her chin, forced her to look at him, the ridicule at the corner of his mouth was even thicker, and he said word by word: "Gu Shi'an, I really underestimate you." Dare to love all those years have been lying on the salary to hide the guts? You know that grandma's health is not good and she can't be stimulated. You secretly packed up your things to move out, did you want to catch me off guard? ”

There was a gloomy look in his eyes, and the strength in his hands was very strong, as if he was about to crush Gu Shi'an's chin.

Gu Shi'an remembered last night, she clearly remembered that she turned it off, but the light was on.

In an instant, her chin was already red. As if she didn't feel pain, she met Chen Xiao's eyes, smiled faintly, and said, "It turns out that for so many years, I have been such a person in your eyes. ”

Chen Xiao was not moved at all, snorted, and said, "Do you still want to quibble?" Looks like you really want that contract. ”

He didn't talk nonsense to Gu Shi'an, and threw away her chin. walked to the sofa and sat down, took out a cigarette and lit it again, and said with a smile: "You can do it if you want, as long as you please me, I will give it to you." ”

His whole person is nonchalant. It's like Gu Shi'an is not his wife, but just something that can't be put on the table.

Gu Shi'an's heart was cold.

Chen Xiao looked at her coldly, the corners of his lips hooked up a little bit of evil energy, and he got up and looked at her condescendingly. Said in a very flirtatious voice: "I think this business is quite cost-effective, sleeping once is sleeping, sleeping a hundred times is also sleeping, isn't it?" ”

Gu Shi'an didn't speak, just stood stiff for dozens of seconds before he smiled faintly and said, "It's quite cost-effective." ”

She said without waiting for Chen Xiao to say anything, she reached out and unbuttoned them one by one, untying all the restraints. Then he stepped forward slightly, reached out and tore off Chen Xiao's bathrobe. Naked and attached to his body.

Her movements were jerky and clumsy, and Chen Xiao looked at it coldly, and inexplicably became a little irritable.

Before she could please him, he pushed her against the wall. Rude cruising gnawed.

Gu Shi'an closed her eyes, and the moment she collapsed on the bed, she was suddenly disheartened.

Chen Xiao's movements were rude, and he said something that Gu Shi'an, who was angry, was even ashamed to say. He has always been able to toss, and tonight is even more full of tricks.

Gu Shi'an couldn't bear it, but he refused to say anything. Chen Xiao looked at it coldly, and there was no pity for the jade between the impacts.

It wasn't until the second half of the night that he finished tossing. Gu Shi'an couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep groggily.

When I woke up the next morning, there was no longer Chen Xiao on the bed. He tossed so hard that her legs trembled when she got out of bed. The bruises and purples all over his body were as painful as if they had been crushed.

Gu Shi'an tried his best to support it, and picked up the clothes on the ground one by one.

When he went out, Chen Xiao was there, still wearing a bathrobe, standing in front of the big floor-to-ceiling window and making a phone call.

Gu Shi'an didn't rush to leave, just stood aside.

Chen Xiao's phone call was finished after a long time, she didn't look at him, and asked calmly: "Is the contract signed by Manager Chu?" ”

The person I met yesterday was the department manager of Chen Xiao's company.

Her back was straight. Chen Xiao probably didn't expect her to be like that, and the corners of his lips hooked up with a touch of mockery.

He didn't say anything more, turned around and took out a contract from the side, signed his name with a sigh, and then stamped the pen and threw it aside.

Gu Shi'an was still calm, stepped forward to pick up the contract, and politely said thank you to Mr. Chen, and then walked out.

Chen Xiao's face was full of yin energy, and as soon as the door closed, he swept the ashtray on the table to the ground.

Gu Shi'an entered the elevator calmly, her body hurt terribly, and when she entered the elevator and looked at the figure on the elevator wall, she found that her face was very white.

Now is not the time to rest, out of the hotel, she went to the pharmacy to buy painkillers to eat, then went home to take a shower, changed her clothes to cover all the bruises and purples on her body, and then went straight to the company.

She won such a big order to make people jealous, and she met Luo Yun when she went to make coffee. She called Senior Sister Gu with a smile, and said pretendedly: "Senior Sister Gu, you are really amazing, you can win such a big order so quickly." Qu always has a prize money everywhere. ”

Gu Shi'an smiled faintly. said, "No matter how powerful you are, is it?" You just came to the company and took such a big order. Let us have no place to put our faces on the ground. ”

Luo Yun blew the coffee in her hand, looked at Gu Shi'an with a smile, and said, "That's all thanks to Senior Sister Gu, for your advice that night, and I have to treat you to a meal." ”

She's really thick-skinned.

Gu Shi'an choked on a mouthful of blood in his throat, and wanted to splash a cup of hot coffee on Luo Yun's triumphant face. After all, she endured it, said politely without smiling, and went out with coffee.

On this day, Gu Shi'an was a little in good spirits. Xiao Wang was delighted that she signed the contract back, and asked her again and again how she won it.

Gu Shi'an just said lightly that he invited the other party's manager to have a meal.

Xiao Wang didn't doubt it, and when he saw that she was not in good spirits, he asked her to rest for a while, and she would deal with it. I'm really anxious to let her deal with it again.

Gu Shi'an couldn't hold it anymore. He nodded in response.

Although she was resting, she was in a daze. I've been dreaming, one moment it's the scene when I was a child, and the next it's my parents' funeral.

She woke up with a thick layer of sweat on her forehead, and she sat for a long time before she stood up.

As soon as he went to the bathroom to wash his face and came back, Xiao Wang knocked on the office door and said with a smile: "Sister Gu, it's time for lunch." I heard that the food in the cafeteria has been improved today, so let's go early. ”

She stuck out her tongue as she spoke.

Gu Shi'an smiled. Say yes.

The two went early, and there were few people in the cafeteria. As Xiao Wang said, the dishes in the canteen at noon today are abundant. Braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, and Sixi meatballs are all common dishes.

Gu Shi'an was surprised, and when he sat down after eating the dishes, he asked Xiao Wang curiously: "How do you know that today's dishes are richer?" ”

Xiao Wang shook his head, smiled mysteriously and said, "Secret, can't be said." ”

Gu Shi'an cut off. I took a piece of braised pork and bit it down.

Xiao Wang smiled and said, "I didn't eat breakfast in the morning, so I went to the canteen a few more times, and the master inside told me." ”

While the two were talking, Luo Yun walked over with several colleagues. Xiao Wang didn't bother to raise his head, and snorted low from his nose.

Luo Yun didn't come over, smiled and called Senior Sister Gu, and sat down at the table next door.

Compared with the desertion on Gu Shi'an and Xiao Wang's side, her side can be called lively. Showing off newly bought shoes and bags, these are all said and done. Talked about her best friend's boyfriend again.

Her best friend is beautiful and has had countless suitors since junior high school. Her boyfriend has been chasing her for many years and is so good to her. is like Mr. Yang's contract this time, and her best friend opened her mouth, and her boyfriend won it for her.

It was hot over there, Gu Shi'an listened expressionlessly, and after gnawing on the last piece of ribs, he left.

She worked overtime until more than eight o'clock in the evening, and when she left the company, she called Chang Yan and asked her if she was in the hospital now, and whether Xiaohuzi's operation time had been arranged.

Chang Yan replied yes, saying that he was going to have surgery tomorrow.

Gu Shi'an nodded and told her that he would go over now. asked Chang Yan if he had anything to eat, and she brought it to them.

Chang Yan replied that he had eaten it.

Gu Shi'an casually ate a bowl of noodles on the side of the road, bought some supplements and fruits, and then took the car over.

Pedestrians on the streets were in a hurry at night, but the buses were not crowded, and Gu Shi'an stood for two stops and there was a vacant place. She sat down and leaned her head against the window to sleep.

When he arrived at the hospital, Chang Yan was waiting at the door. Gu Shi'an stepped forward quickly, looked back and forth, and asked, "Why did you come down?" ”

Chang Yan took the things in her hand, smiled, and said, "I guess you should come down when you arrive." ”

The two went upstairs all the way, and Chang Yin talked about Xiaohuzi's condition and the risks of surgery all the way. Gu Shi'an listened and nodded from time to time.

Xiaohuzi had already been transferred to the ordinary ward, and as soon as he arrived at the door, Xiaohuzi's mother, who had been waiting on the side, suddenly knelt on the ground and wanted to kowtow to Gu Shi'an.

The woman who used to be clean and plump has lost a lot of weight and aged a lot in a short period of time. Many gray hairs came out of his head.

Gu Shi'an's heart was very sour, where could she kowtow to herself, dropped her things and quickly helped her up.

Gu Shi'an stayed in the ward until more than nine o'clock, until the doctor reminded Xiaohuzi that it was time to rest, and she and Chang Yan left the ward.

Because I don't know whether tomorrow's surgery will be auspicious or vicious, the atmosphere is a little depressing. When he left the ward, Chang Yin lit a cigarette and smoked. After a while, he said in a low voice: "Shi'an, thank you very much." ”

After a slight pause, her face showed a bit of mockery, and she continued: "Yesterday, Xiaohuzi's mother went to find that man. I've heard that life is pretty good now. There are two cars at home. When he heard that his son was sick, he said that he had no son. ”

Chang Yan sneered and kicked the wall hard.

Gu Shi'an wanted to say something, but he couldn't find anything to comfort for a while. Human greed is indifferent and ruthless, she has already seen it in the Gu family.

She remembered Xiaohuzi's mother. From an outsider's point of view, she is undoubtedly pitiful. But she herself is optimistic, as long as her son's illness can be cured, no matter how hard and tired she is, she is not afraid.

She is usually busy, working several jobs a day and only taking four hours off. Because my son was going to have surgery, I deliberately asked for leave today to accompany Xiaohuzi in the hospital.

But even so, her meager salary is difficult to maintain in Xiaohuzi's follow-up treatment.

Gu Shi'an wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he still didn't say anything after all. When he arrived at the gate of the hospital, he said to Chang Yin: "I won't come tomorrow, I'll come back after work." ”

After a slight pause, she squeezed out a smile and said, "The medicine is good for Xiaohuzi, I just received a big order." There will be a lot of bonuses. ”

Chang Yan looked at her and was speechless for a while. After a long time, she said thank you. She had said enough thanks to her, smiled bitterly, and said, "It's us who dragged you down." ”

Gu Shi'an asked her not to think nonsense, let her stop sending it, and go back to rest.

She still watched Chang Yan enter the hospital, and then slowly walked to the car alone. The dense wrinkles that suddenly appeared on the face of Little Huzi's mother resurfaced in her mind. All of a sudden, my heart ached.

Suddenly, she remembered her parents. The scene of my father being carried up from the bottom of the cliff suddenly came to mind.

The pain spread more quickly, and she walked to the bus stop and sat down. Once the seeds of doubt are planted. It will grow and sprout quickly.

Besides, there is nothing that the people of the Gu family can't do.

Gu Shi'an closed his eyes and leaned his head on the cold seat.

It was a long time before a cold drizzle fell on her face that she opened her eyes. Occasionally, when the bus stopped, she watched blankly, and for a moment, she didn't even know where she was going. is where she stays.

She got into the car after a while, and instead of going back to the house over there, she went straight back to the house left by her parents.

The house is in the old neighborhood but in a peaceful setting. She would come back every once in a while to clean up the dust.

Because of the long-term cleaning, although the house is cold, it is clean.

There are too many memories here, and Gu Shi'an stood at the entrance for a long time in a trance before entering the house.

She did not go back to the house to sleep, but went to the study and picked up the things her father had left behind.

After her mother passed away, because there were too many memories here, and there was no one to take care of her, they did not live here, but lived in the old house.

Gu Shi'an carefully flipped through the letterheads in the study, but he didn't find anything suspicious.

This was actually expected, originally staying here for a short time, and her father left suddenly, even if there were any clues, it was impossible to be here.

Gu Shi'an restored everything. Looking at the lamp on the desk, it didn't move for a while. Perhaps, she should go to the Gu family's study.

Only now did she realize. She has always been a daughter of good value. After her father's death, she was immersed in grief. I don't even know what my father left behind, how it was handled at the time.
