Chapter 164: Is it over?
You can't hide it, even if those two don't know. I'm afraid that this second uncle of hers will also try his best to let them know.
Gu Shi'an's eldest uncle Gu Chengping and her third uncle Gu Chengyun came quickly, and she had just gone out of Gu Chengde's office when she met those two.
Gu Chengping's face didn't have any expression, but Gu Chengyun's face was full of surprise, probably because he didn't expect her to really come to Gu's.
The two of them came so quickly, and Gu Shi'an was not surprised, and greeted him in a proper manner, and called the eldest uncle and the third uncle.
Before Gu Chengping and Gu Chengyun could speak, Gu Chengde walked out quickly and said, "Big brother, don't blame this kid for not saying hello." She just wants to rely on her own ability to our company. We should encourage our ambition to take care of our families. ”
He smiled and looked at Gu Shi'an kindly.
Gu Chengping's face still didn't have any expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking. However, Gu Chengyun laughed dryly, looked at Gu Shi'an and said, "Shi'an, your surprise for us is too big." ”
Gu Shi'an lowered his head and said obediently: "I should greet you first when I come in." ”
Gu Chengyun laughed dryly twice, glanced at Gu Chengping, and said, "Since they all came in, don't talk about that." Do it well, and if you have something, you can find the third uncle. ”
Gu Shi'an said thank you, Sanbo.
Gu Chengde, who was on the side, glanced at Gu Chengping and said jokingly: "Big brother, don't keep a straight face, don't frighten the child." It's all a family, and it's a good thing that Shi'an came in, it's a good thing. ”
His words sounded like he was persuading Gu Chengping, but he was also telling Gu Shi'an that Gu Chengping was very dissatisfied with her coming in.
Gu Chengping didn't know if he heard it, and still didn't speak. The atmosphere was a little awkward, and after such a good interval of dozens of seconds, he said lightly: "Since you came in, do it well." ”
After saying this, he didn't look at Gu Shi'an anymore, and went back to his office directly.
As soon as he left, Gu Chengyun also followed. Gu Chengde stretched out his hand and patted Gu Shi'an's shoulder, and said, "Shi'an, don't mind, your uncle is like this." The employees in the company are afraid of him. You can do it with confidence, even if it is your uncle's opinion, the second uncle will block it for you. ”
He was righteous.
Gu Shi'an thanked him, and Gu Chengde told her what was going on to let her come to her, so she went back to the data room.
Gu Chengde asked the secretary to find her with great fanfare, and he didn't hide it. At this point, the secretary's office already knows everything.
When Gu Shi'an left, Sister Du hadn't come yet, and she didn't know yet. Seeing Gu Shi'an go back, he asked, "Where have you been, if I hadn't seen your bag, I would have thought you hadn't come." ”
Gu Shi'an said vaguely and went upstairs and brought the matter over.
At noon, Gu Shi'an received a call from her uncle. He said that he was waiting for her in the restaurant opposite and asked her to come over for dinner.
Gu Shi'an hung up the phone and stood still for a while. She naturally knew that her uncle didn't call her over to eat.
When she was a child, she lived outside with her parents, and she couldn't go back to Gu's house several times a year. After her mother passed away, although she returned to the Gu family, whether it was her eldest uncle or third uncle, they didn't get along much. Although they are related by blood, they are estranged. I don't know much about them either.
On the surface, her third uncle, Gu Chengyun, has always loved to be a peacemaker. and dilute mud. The real master of the family is her third aunt.
And her uncle Gu Chengping has always been unsmiling. There are very few words in ordinary life. She is the only person in the Gu family who can't see through.
Gu Shi'an's thoughts paused slightly, and he put the phone back in his pocket. This meal, no matter what he was aiming for, she had to go.
Before entering the Gu clan, she had already thought about what she had to face. Her uncle's meal is only the first level.
Next, she will face the ridicule of her second aunt and the sneer of her uncle. Of course, the hearts of her third aunt and several cousins will not be comfortable.
She let out a soft breath and went to the restaurant opposite.
When she arrived, her uncle had already arrived, and she thought that her third uncle was also there, but she didn't, only his uncle was alone.
Gu Chengping saw that there was no expression on her face, so he simply sat down, then handed the menu to Gu Shi'an, and said, "What do you like to eat, order it." ”
There was still no expression on his face, Gu Shi'an didn't take the menu, and said, "I can eat anything, you can make your own decisions." ”
Gu Chengping didn't say much, and ordered the food.
He doesn't like to do superficial work as much as Gu Chengde, and the dishes he orders are simple and not wasteful, just for two people.
It would take a while for the food to come up, so he took out the glasses on the bridge of his nose and wiped them, and asked Gu Shi'an: "Why did you suddenly enter the company?" ”
His tone was blunt.
Gu Shi'an looked at the desktop and replied in a low voice: "You should know what happened to me in my previous company some time ago. After I quit my job, I didn't find a suitable job, so my family recruited me. ”
She brought up the things that were wronged some time ago, and she couldn't tell the truth from the truth for a while.
She's just a little girl, frightened by things, and just wants to find a place where she won't be bullied and go to work steadily. That's normal.
Gu Chengping didn't say anything, and after a while, he asked, "Are you divorced from Chen Xiao?" ”
They have always been unconcerned about the situation between her and Chen Xiao. I don't know what it means when I suddenly asked.
Gu Shi'an didn't hide it, lowered his head and said, "The formalities haven't been completed yet." ”
This is to admit that she and Chen Xiao are going to divorce.
Gu Chengping stopped talking now.
For the rest of the day, he didn't ask anything more. The atmosphere was a little cold, but Gu Shi'an asked a little about her cousin and her uncle's recent living conditions from time to time.
It's just that all her problems were brought over by Gu Chengping with a good sentence.
After eating, Gu Chengping left under the pretext of wanting to see customers. Gu Shi'an slowly returned to the company.
She had come here with enough preparation and full armor, but who knew that her uncle didn't say anything. Until now, she didn't know what her uncle meant by letting her come over for this meal.
It was nothing like she had imagined.
She was slightly distracted, looked at the time, and quickened her pace.
When she returned to the company, Sister Du had already come back from dinner, she had always talked a lot, and I don't know why, I didn't say a word when I saw Gu Shi'an at this time, and went to sort out the information later.
Gu Shi'an called her several times, but she smiled reluctantly.
At that time, when the secretary came to call her, she was high-profile and did not hide it. Don't think about it, Gu Shi'an also knows that he should know her identity.
Knowing who she is, it's a matter of time. Gu Shi'an didn't care, who knew that later, when she finished the work in her hand and was going to sort out the information sent by others, Sister Du stopped her, squeezed out a smile, and said, "No, I don't have anything to do, I'll just do it myself." ”
Gu Shi'an smiled and said, "It's okay, I used to do it in the data room." I'll do all of that. ”
Sister Du smiled reluctantly and said, "It's not a big deal, just let me come." You take a break. ”
After she finished speaking, she didn't say much to Gu Shi'an, and went inside with the pile of information.
Although Gu Shi'an had done the work in the reference room before, he had just come here after all. It's new to what to do. asked Sister Du what she was going to do, but Sister Du said that she just let her rest, there was nothing to do.
Only then did Gu Shi'an understand that she was being hung up.
Sister Du's face changed suddenly, and she didn't know if it was ordered by the above or something else.
Gu Shi'an just didn't know and did what he could. As long as she finds something to do, Sister Du will not be able to stop her. Let her be.
She didn't know what was going on here, and there was only so much she could do. She was idle most of the afternoon.
She talked to Sister Du several times, trying to bring the relationship closer. But Sister Du is vague, and she doesn't ignore her, but she won't find anything for her to do.
When she got off work, she probably didn't want to stay with Gu Shi'an, so she left in a hurry without waiting for her husband to pick her up.
The matter spread quickly, and many people secretly looked at her when Gu Shi'an left the company. Talking in a low voice. Far from her. Only then did she know that she should be isolated.
She wasn't surprised, since she didn't want her to join the Gu clan and isolate her, this should only be the first step. In the future, there will probably be means waiting for her that she can't imagine.
It was not easy to feel isolated, and Gu Shi'an quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived at the bus stop.
At this time, the bus was crowded, and she was just about to get on the bus with the flow of people when her mobile phone rang. She stopped and pulled her phone out.
The call turned out to be from Qin Tang, and she answered it. Originally, I was going to see Mr. Qin, but remembering Qin Tang's two reminders, I swallowed these words back. She couldn't pronounce the words Qin Tang, so she fed her a little uncomfortably.
Qin Tang didn't speak immediately, and after three or four seconds, he asked, "Did you go to work at Gu's?" ”
He was quick to hear that. Gu Shi'an replied stiffly.
Qin Tang on the other end of the phone didn't speak anymore.
Gu Shi'an knew that she shouldn't hide this from her, but if he told him, he would definitely not burn her into the Gu family. She was a little sneering, explaining, "I want to tell you in a few days." ”
Qin Tang still didn't speak, and only when Gu Shi'an wanted to explain something more did he ask, "How did they react today?" ”
He must have known the news for a while, and all his emotions had calmed down and he was even ready to call her. Otherwise, this sentence would not have been asked directly.
The bus stop is noisy, and it is obviously inappropriate to talk about this now. Gu Shi'an looked around and said, "I'm still at the bus stop now, can I call you when I go back?" ”
Qin Tang responded lightly, and then hung up the phone.
She said that she would call Qin Tang when she went back, but when she got out of the car, she found that Qin Tang was already waiting at the gate of the community.
After all, this matter was hidden from him, she saw that he was uncomfortable, and said that you are here, and then took Qin Tang to the side of the community.
Qin Tang didn't speak all the way, and when he went upstairs and entered the house, he looked straight at Gu Shi'an and asked, "Why didn't you tell me in advance if you wanted to enter the Gu clan?" ”
Gu Shi'an fell silent, and after a while, he looked up at Qin Tang, his face showed sadness, and said, "I told you in advance, you can't let me in." She paused at this point, and with a bit of pathos in her voice, she said, "I know you're worried about my safety, but these are all things I should do. I don't want to be like a piece of garbage and watch you busy and I can't do anything. ”
Qin Tang looked at her and didn't speak for a while.
Gu Shi'an quickly cleaned up his emotions and said in a low voice: "You sit down first, I'll make you tea." ”
After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Qin Tang to speak, and hurriedly entered the kitchen.
Qin Tang didn't sit down, but walked to the balcony, lit a cigarette and smoked it. Waiting for Gu Shi'an to make tea and return to the living room, he extinguished his cigarette butt and went back to the living room.
The expression on his face was as pale as usual, and he asked, "What is their reaction today?" ”
He is like this, obviously knowing that the Gu family knows about it just now.
Gu Shi'an didn't hide it from her, and told Gu Su about finding her last night and Gu Chengde's reaction today. Then he hesitated for a moment, and then told her uncle Gu Chengping about inviting her to dinner.
Qin Tang listened calmly and did not make any comments.
After Gu Shi'an's words were finished, the room suddenly fell silent. There wasn't even the sound of a needle falling to the ground.
Qin Tang didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he spoke: "I have someone on the Gu family's side, don't act rashly if you find anything, I will give him your contact information, and he will go to you tomorrow." ”
His brow loosened.
His news was known so quickly, and Gu Shi'an was not surprised to hear that he had someone in the Gu family. nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "You don't need to let him look for me, I just went in, and I won't be fine for the time being." You give me his contact information, and I can contact him directly if I have any questions. ”
Yes, Qin Tang must have his purpose in arranging people to go in. And now the Gu family is staring at her up and down, and when that person meets him, he will be targeted if he is not careful. Then, his painstaking arrangement will be nullified.
Qin Tang was noncommittal, and did not give her the person's contact information. His cell phone rang, and he picked it up.
It was already past seven o'clock, and he had rushed over to wait for her before her, and he must have not eaten. Gu Shi'an took advantage of Qin Tang's call and went to the kitchen to start cooking.
Qin Tang's phone call lasted a little long, first in the living room, and then stood on the balcony after a while. I don't know what was said over there, his voice was not high, and he couldn't hear it clearly.
It didn't take long for Gu Shi'an to make a simple three dishes and one soup, Qin Tang sat down at the table, and then said lightly: "I will let people follow you secretly, pay attention to safety recently." ”
If they found something, or because of the shares in the old lady's hand, they didn't want her to join the Gu family, they might not do anything to her.
Her entry into the Gu clan was indeed a risky move.
Gu Shi'an squeezed out a smile and said, "It's okay, don't be so troublesome." I'll pay attention. ”
Qin Tang didn't speak, and started eating.
He should have something on his mind, and he usually has few words, but now he doesn't speak. After eating, he suddenly asked again, "Have you figured out what to say over there, old lady?" ”
Gu Shi'an was silent at this time, and said in a low voice: "They shouldn't let the old lady know for the time being." ”
Yes, they were all worried that the old lady would give her the shares in her hands. The matter of her entering the Gu clan is naturally to be hidden.
It's just not thought about it.
Qin Tang didn't speak again. He stood on the balcony and smoked a cigarette.
Waiting for Gu Shi'an to clean up the kitchen and come out, he tentatively asked him if he wanted to stay here for one night, and he simply said yes.
Gu Shi'an went to put hot water for him now.
Probably because he thought about it day and dreamed at night, Gu Shi'an had nightmares at night. In a dream, several of her uncles and cousins stabbed her fiercely with knives, and she tried to avoid it, but was surrounded by them with hideous faces.
She woke up from her dream, and had no time to see it. A fine sweat broke out on his forehead. The body is so weak that there is no strength.
She reached for the bedside cup to drink, but she didn't touch anything before she remembered that she hadn't poured water in tonight.
She leaned against the head of the bed for a moment before getting out of bed to pour water.
The living room was quiet, and when she looked up casually, she saw a faint light on the balcony.
At this time, it will only be Qin Tang who is on the balcony. She was slightly stunned, walked over, and asked, "Haven't you slept yet?" ”
Qin Tang turned around and said lightly. After a pause, he said, "Sleep right away." ”
Then it was a little strange to talk in the dark, Gu Shi'an reached out and turned on the light. Thinking that he was going to pour water, he asked, "Do you want to drink water?" ”
Qin Tang quickly extinguished the cigarette butt and walked over from the balcony, and simply responded with a hello.
Gu Shi'an quickly poured him a glass of water.
Qin Tang's face turned a little pale, took it, and said thank you.
Gu Shi'an naturally noticed his face, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Are you uncomfortable?" ”
Qin Tang said lightly that it was okay, sat down on the sofa, and stretched out his hand to rub his eyebrows.
Gu Shi'an was worried, and also sat down on the sofa.
Qin Tang quickly put down his hand, glanced at her, and said, "I have to go to work tomorrow, go to sleep." ”
As he spoke, he stood up and went straight to his room. The door of the guest room closed quickly, and Gu Shi'an stood in the living room with a hesitant face, not hearing any movement in the guest room, and then went back to the room.
Qin Tang should be worried that she is in the Gu family, and will ask the driver to pick her up from time to time. He didn't have anything to do with picking her up, so he asked her about Gu's situation.
The city is only that big, and it's a coincidence that it's very coincidental. She and Qin Tang met three times, and two of them met Chen Xiao.
Since leaving that night, seeing Chen Xiao again is like not knowing her at all. There is not even a pretense anymore, and he won't even say hello to Qin Tang.
It was already past eleven o'clock when Gu Shi'an came back from helping in the store on the weekend, and as soon as he arrived at the staircase, he saw Chen Xiao smoking a cigarette and leaning in the corridor.
The few times they met were like strangers, Gu Shi'an was slightly stunned when he saw him. Although I couldn't figure out why he came, I didn't ask, and took out the key to open the door.
As soon as he opened the door, before he entered the house, Chen Xiao, who had been smoking, looked up at her and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?" ”
Gu Shi'an didn't expect him to ask this, his movements paused slightly, and then said lightly: "You think too much." ”
Chen Xiao stared straight at her, and asked again, "What are you doing in the Gu Clan?" ”
Yes, the relationship between her and the Gu family, he couldn't be clearer. She didn't even consider entering the Gu family when she graduated, and now she is in, which is undoubtedly abnormal.
He is not perfunctory, Gu Shi'an replied lightly: "If you want to enter, you can enter." No one has stipulated that I can't enter the Gu clan, right? ”
Chen Xiao sneered and said, "Do they welcome you when you go in?" There was a bit of sarcasm on his face.
Gu Shi'an replied without thinking: "Whether they welcome me or not is their business." I just want to find a place to work. ”
She wasn't going to go on on the subject, so she pushed open the door and walked inside. Then it's time to close the door.
Chen Xiao stretched out his hand against the door, looked straight at her, and said, "Gu Shi'an, I don't believe your words. ”
His eyes were deep, as if he wanted to see her through.
Gu Shi'an avoided his gaze and said lightly: "Do you believe it or not, it's your business." Get out of the way, I'm going to rest. ”
Chen Xiao didn't let go of his hand, nor did he go into the house, he just stared at her straight and asked, "Are you weak-hearted?" ”
Gu Shi'an looked up at him and asked, "What do I have to be kind?" ”
Chen Xiaoleng snorted and said, "You don't have a weak heart, you know it in your own heart." I don't know why you have to join the Gu clan, but the surname Qin is not a good thing. It's up to you. Also, I have to warn you that your uncles and cousins who are related by blood are not good things. If you didn't enter the Gu family, they have been guarding against you, and now that you are in, they will not give you any good fruits to eat. ”
He, an outsider, saw it very thoroughly.
Gu Shi'an did not speak. Chen Xiao paused, and then said: "They all covet the shares in the old lady's hands, and the Gu family has already been hollowed out now. If I were you, I wouldn't go on this trip. ”
He thought that Gu Shi'an was bewitched by Qin Tang and wanted to fight for the shares in the old lady's hands.
It was normal for him to think so, after all, apart from the shares in the old lady's hand, Gu Shi'an had no reason to join the Gu family.
Gu Shi'an didn't have any expression on his face, waiting for him to stop talking, and then asked, "Are you finished?" ”
Chen Xiao's hand on the door loosened, and before she could speak, she closed the door directly.
