Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Way of the Turtle's Advance and Retreat
The chill drilled up from under Gu Xi's feet and captured her mind.
Unconsciously, she clenched her fists so hard that her nails dug into her flesh.
Gu Xi looked at Mrs. Huo's moody face, there was no kindness and joy in the past, she was holding a string of rosewood Buddha beads in her hand, and she was chanting a word.
Huo Tingjun was calm: "What are you doing standing here?" Don't have to work? ”
He raised his eyebrows coldly, his intention to drive the servant away was obvious.
Sister-in-law Lan looked at Mrs. Huo in embarrassment, conquering her old man's meaning.
Old Mrs. Huo stopped chanting Buddhist scriptures in her mouth, and the movements of her hands also stopped.
She opened her mouth and said in a cold tone that Gu Xi had never heard before: "No, let them all listen, both of you, sit down and have a good talk." ”
Obviously, Mrs. Huo no longer has the same enthusiasm for Gu Xi as before.
She urgently called the two of them back for something, and the answer was about to come out.
Huo Tingjun and Gu Xi looked at each other for a moment, and his deep eyes crossed with thought.
The two of them sat together on the sofa opposite Mrs. Huo.
"Gu Xi, don't you have something to say to grandma?"
Gu Xi: "Huh? ”
"About our marriage." Huo Tingjun is meaningful.
Gu Xi stared at his hinted look, and suddenly comprehended.
If the old lady asks questions, it is better for her to admit her mistake first.
In this way, it is also possible to "confess and be lenient".
Gu Xi didn't expect that Huo Tingjun would think about himself and give himself the opportunity to be honest in front of Mrs. Huo.
She also thought that he would stand on Gu Meng's side and shift all the responsibility onto her......
Gu Xi secretly adjusted his breathing and plucked up his courage: "Grandma, in fact, I ......"
Mrs. Huo finally raised her eyes and looked at her granddaughter-in-law, who had been in pain recently: "Xiaoxi, before you want to talk about you and Tingjun, grandma has one thing, I want to ask you clearly." ”
Gu Xi was slightly surprised: "Well, grandma, just ask, I know everything." ”
Her sincere and humble eyes made it impossible to believe that she would be that kind of person.
Mrs. Huo looked at her: "Xiaoxi, have you ever entered my room during your stay in the Huo family?" ”
Gu Xi was stunned.
This question is completely different from the problem she imagined.
She honestly shook her head: "No, grandma, I have never entered your room. ”
The room is private for everyone, and you can't enter it without the permission of others.
This is a family education, and it is also common sense, and her mother taught her when she was very young.
Gu Meng: "Gu Xi, you're lying!" I saw you with my own eyes, and the ghost sneaked into the old lady's room that afternoon! ”
Gu Xi only felt ridiculous in the face of Gu Mengzhen's powerful accusations.
"Gu Meng, please tell me clearly, what afternoon is it? Also, I have been raising a baby in my room a few days ago, and I haven't even gone out of the door, so Xiao Tao can testify for me. ”
Gu Meng coldly said: "Can Xiao Tao give you a testimony?" She doesn't stay by your bedside 24 hours a day, she has to wait for your three meals a day, pour tea and water, etc., if you take advantage of her absence, sneak out of the room for a while, it's not a problem at all! ”
Gu Xi was speechless by the other party's nothingness, she looked at Mrs. Huo: "Grandma, what happened?" ”
Mrs. Huo closed her eyes, her thumb on the ground, and picked up the string of Buddhist beads.
The old man clearly didn't think of such a dispute, this shouldn't happen in the Huo family, which she had always been warm and harmonious.
Sister-in-law Lan replied for Mrs. Huo: "Fourth young grandmother, the several strings of jewelry that Mrs. Huo treasured in the drawer, all of them are gone, and the most important thing is that even the 'love in the city' was stolen together, it is the old lady's family heirloom, and the value is not its price, but its significance." ”
Gu Xi was confused when he heard this: "Could it be that you suspect that I stole these jewels?" How could it be ......"
No matter how difficult she is, no matter how poor she is, she never thinks of using illegal means to obtain benefits.
She doesn't bother to get those ill-gotten gains!
"How could it not be? Gu Xi, when you were at home before, you stole your father's passbook and wanted to withdraw a large amount of money, but it was your father who found out early and you didn't succeed. ”
"Unexpectedly, even if you are a thief at home, you will go to Huo's house to steal! It seems that Dad's previous teachings to you have been in vain! ”
Gu Meng's face was filled with righteous indignation, and she used the identity of a sister to teach her a "dead nature" sister.
Gu Xi was very surprised, she once again saw what it means to be despicable and shameless, and what it means to be open-mouthed!
She stood up and glared at Gu Meng angrily: "Gu Meng, your ability to spray people with blood is really getting higher and higher!" You insist that I stole my grandmother's jewelry, please show substantial evidence, otherwise, you can't convince anyone with your mouth alone! Perhaps, you stole it, and the thief shouted to catch the thief and blame me! ”
Gu Meng smiled coldly, confident: "Okay, what you said is very reasonable, you want evidence, right?" Let's go find it! ”
"Let me guess what you're thinking, right? Gu Xi, you got such a valuable item, and it was a theft, you must not dare to put it on yourself, do you dare to let us search your hospital dormitory? ”
