Gu Shaoze pinched her hand and didn't let go, thinking that this man was unhappy again. Ji Xincheng broke out and patted the back of his hand, didn't look at him, and went straight to eat.

"I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to be so young, I thought that my father's junior brother should be about the same age as my father." Ji Xincheng didn't know that he had no worries, and said with a smile.

Gu Chang also smiled slightly when he heard this, and took the opportunity to further introduce Zhou Jingteng:

"Jing Teng is a young genius, he was admitted to our university at the age of 13, and at the age of 16, he was affirmed by the best tutor in our department, and he did a sensational scientific research project with me."

"Wow, that's amazing, where does Mr. Zhou work now?"

Zhou Jingteng smiled a little shyly, such an expression is rare in middle-aged people, and he replied to Ji Xincheng, "Research Institute." ”

"It's a scientist, huh?" Ji Xincheng was surprised.

"It's just ordinary scientific work." He is humble.

Ji Xincheng praised sincerely: "It's the first time I've seen such a young scientist around me. ”

"I'm just a little bit lucky, but what I'm doing now, a lot of my peers are up to."

When Ji Xincheng and Zhou Jingteng were talking, Tong Siya's eyes fell on Gu Haitang from time to time, as if watching her reaction. Looking at Gu Chang again, he seemed to be in a good mood, not just the joy of reuniting old friends, as if he was looking forward to something.

This family, do they still have any thoughts about Zhou Jingteng and Gu Haitang?

"Drink soup."

Gu Shaoze deliberately picked up Ji Xincheng's soup bowl, and the voice that put it down in place was neither light nor heavy, and the warning was already very obvious, allowing her to concentrate on eating her meal.

Ji Xincheng picked up the soup bowl, ignored him, and asked Zhou Jingteng again, "Are you married?" Is your wife also a scientist? ”

There was reverence in her tone, so that people didn't mean to be disrespectful, the smile on Zhou Jingteng's lips remained unchanged, and he didn't speak immediately, but Gu Shaoze next to him sandwiched a piece of shrimp meat on Ji Xincheng's plate and said goodbye to her.

"Jing Teng has been divorced for a long time, right?" It's Gu Chang's voice.

Ji Xincheng raised his head after eating the piece of shrimp meat, and saw Zhou Jingteng nodding, "Yes." ”

"I'm sorry." Ji Xincheng hurriedly apologized.

"It's okay, my ex-wife is not a scientific researcher." Zhou Jingteng really didn't care, and said calmly to Ji Xincheng.

In Ji Xincheng's afterglow, Tong Siya's eyes stared at Gu Haitang again, and couldn't help but follow, Gu Haitang's expression was indifferent, still eating the Chinese food with his eyes down, and he didn't react at all.

At this time, I heard Gu Chang say again: "What reason? None of you kids have yet. ”

I don't know if Ji Xincheng was delusional, Zhou Jingteng at that time missed Gu Haitang for a moment, Zhou Jingteng was not calm at that moment, but it was only a flash, and then he replied calmly, "I am busy with academics all year round, most of my time is in the laboratory, and I don't take good care of my family, she can't accept it, so she decided to separate." ”

His voice was low, obviously talking about a very personal matter, but it was as indifferent as discussing ordinary facts.

"There's no one who isn't so busy with scientific research." Gu Chang said, "If you want to divorce because you are too busy with work, it really doesn't look like it." ”

"Yes, so the main thing is that the two don't have any emotional foundation."

Gu Chang nodded and comforted Zhou Jingteng, "You are still young, and the road is still long!" Some wanted to say something, and looked at Gu Haitang.

Ji Xincheng had already understood Gu Chang's intentions by this time, and glanced at Gu Shaoze beside him with concern, the latter did not forget to use the chopsticks to put vegetables on her plate, and still frowned when he put down the chopsticks, "It is not easy for the country to cultivate professional talents, since you love your work so much, why not be single to the end?" Free. ”

Gu Shaoze's gaze and tone were equally indifferent, sweeping over Zhou Jingteng, his words were very polite, almost contemptuous.

But Zhou Jingteng didn't care, "Work and life can be taken into account, and it varies from person to person." After the first failed marriage, I also understood that many things cannot be forced, and I deeply realized the mistakes that I couldn't understand when I was single, and if I have the opportunity to remarry, I will definitely cherish her. ”

Ji Xincheng couldn't put down the hand holding the soup bowl, she stared at Gu Shaoze a little nervously, for fear that he would have an overreaction, after all, Zhou Jingteng's words were already very clear, he was just expressing remorse to everyone, and wanted to get another chance......

Xu is Ji Xincheng's solemn matter, so Gu Shaoze really didn't talk again for a while.

However, Gu Chang didn't plan to end this conversation, talking about the old thing, "Jing Teng and Haitang couldn't get together after that incident, I actually regret it in my heart, now it's okay, Jing Teng is back to being single, Hai Chang is still alone, why don't you two think about it, can you develop it again?" After all, the friendship of youth is there......"

'Click', the sound of chopsticks falling on the table interrupted Gu Chang.

After playing a round of dumb riddles, and finally saying what he really wanted to say, Gu Haitang raised his eyes and looked at his father coldly, "Parents, with my current conditions, although it is not very good, it is not enough to find a second-married man." It's not that I don't have no suitors, I'm making a serious choice, you don't have to be so anxious for fear that I won't be able to get married. ”

After speaking, Gu Haitang got up and left the table, walked away a few steps and stopped, turning his back to the table and everyone said, "Don't call me back for this kind of dinner in the future, I'm not so idle." ”

Gu Haitang's voice was not very loud, but her tone was not light, and the dining table fell silent for a moment after she left.

What broke the silence was Gu Chang's chopsticks, almost thrown on the table, "Very idle?" Who's idle! He raised his voice, obviously wanting to tell Gu Haitang, who was far away, he was very angry at the moment.

Zhou Jingteng hurriedly apologized, "It's my fault, senior brother, don't blame Haitang." ”

"From what position do you say this? Zhou Jingteng, please leave the Gu family immediately, you are not welcome here. ”

"Gu Shaoze, what are you doing?" Gu Chang said angrily.

"Don't force me to make it harder." Gu Shaoze is also patient.

Zhou Jingteng quickly left the table and took two steps back, "Senior brother, sister-in-law, I'm sorry for making everyone unhappy, so I'll leave first." ”

After Zhou Jingteng left, the restaurant really fell silent.

Ji Xincheng put down the soup bowl silently, if it wasn't for her to provoke the topic of marriage, is it possible that this contradiction would not have a chance to be put on the table, although everyone knows it.

Ji Xincheng was a little annoyed.

"Have you eaten yet?" Gu Shaoze asked her out loud, and the tone in his voice was soft only when he was facing her.

Ji Xincheng looked at him and didn't answer, if she said that she had eaten well, Gu Shaoze would definitely take her away immediately, if she hadn't eaten well, would she still be able to eat at this time?

"Ozawa, you also have to think about your sister." Tong Siya spoke up, which just avoided Ji Xincheng's embarrassment, "Over the years, if she really forgot about Jing Teng, how could she still be alone now?" ”

Although Gu Chang was still displeased, he always seemed to have a trace of scruples in the face of his son, "Have a better attitude towards Jing Teng, and he can't help what happened back then." ”

"Can't help it?" Gu Shaoze said coldly, "Is it involuntary or inaction?" You know what to expect. That's the end of this matter, I don't care what you're planning, dismiss this idea as soon as possible! ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Ji Xincheng, Ji Xincheng instinctively took Gu Shaoze's hand, and was pulled away from the table by him, so he had to quickly say goodbye to him, "Mom, Dad, let's eat well, you eat slowly." ”

"Eh, slow down......"

Gu Shaoze was furious and pulled Ji Xincheng upstairs, Ji Xincheng couldn't keep pace and almost fell, so he slowed down and took her back to the room on the third floor.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, you can see the wilderness behind the sunset mountain outside the window, which is very quiet.

Gu Shaoze stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, motionless for a long time, Ji Xincheng came out of the bathroom, and he turned around, "Go back?" There is uncertainty in the tone, something that is absent-minded.

Ji Xincheng approached him, put his hands on his shoulders, and looked into his eyes, "Don't you worry about sister?" ”

"I'll call her later."

"She didn't leave, the car is still parked in the yard, why don't you go and see her? I was just about to make a phone call. ”

Gu Shaoze could see that Ji Xincheng was deliberately taking care of him, his expression softened a little, stroked the top of her hair, and told her, "Then you wait for me here, I'll be back soon." ”

Ji Xincheng nodded, and watched Gu Shaoze leave the room, and then she took out her mobile phone to check the unread messages.

Gu Haitang sat in her study, and the lamp on the table shed a warm golden light, illuminating her surroundings. She was flipping through a design drawing, presumably old, with yellowed creases in the corners of the paper.

Seeing Gu Shaoze knocking on the door and walking in, she raised her head and smiled, "I'm sorry, I interrupted your dinner." ”

Gu Shaoze didn't say anything about this, sat down across the table, and asked his sister, "What do you think about today's matter?" ”

"Thoughts?" Gu Haitang raised her eyebrows, always calm and self-controlled, it seemed that the things at dinner had not affected her at all, I saw her ponder for a while, and said: "My parents have always been in contact with him, it may be that during the time I returned to China, I was too easy to talk to, so they had some illusions, so I had today's dinner." Don't worry, it won't affect me much. ”

Gu Shaoze looked at his sister, trying to see something different from between her eyebrows, but no.

"Do you still like him?" This is probably what Gu Shaoze really wants to ask.

Gu Haitang raised his lips and smiled, carelessly, and did not speak for a long time.

Gu Shaoze waited for a moment before he spoke, and then said, "Although I have an opinion about him, if you still have the original idea, I will always try to support you." ”

Gu Haitang looked at his younger brother with satisfaction, it was really different from before, if this matter was left in the past, he would probably beat Zhou Jingteng first, and then come to warn his sister, such a person is not worth looking back......

"Look at this." Gu Haitang felt a little better, and pushed the stack of design drafts in his hand to Gu Shaoze.

Gu Shaoze took over and flipped through a few pages, and found that they were all design drawings of men's clothing, and he was a little puzzled.

Gu Haitang said, "You read that right, it is the design draft of men's clothing, which was painted by Zhou Jingteng." When we were still together, we were doing our own job, and we loved designing clothes in our spare time. These artworks look good now, right? A while ago, I really went to the factory to make a sample, but when I wore it, it was not satisfactory, even if it was a good model. ”

Gu Shaoze didn't say anything, Gu Haitang continued, "The past between me and Zhou Jingteng, like these clothes, when we were together, we had an unreal sense of beauty, but if you really put this relationship into reality and marriage, it may not be a failure." Even if there is no past incident, I may be separated from him because of something else. Everyone around me thinks that we should be together, just like when we look at the design draft, we feel that we should make this batch of good-looking clothes, I have this awareness, so you don't have to worry, even if I really choose to make this batch of clothes, it is impossible to be exactly the same as this draft, it is destined to be defective, meaningless. ”

After listening to his sister's words, Gu Shaoze's expression was obviously relaxed.

He was really worried that Gu Haitang would not be able to get out, because he still had obsessions in the past, hearing her say this, he was indeed relieved of the past, and where she and Zhou Jingteng would go in the future, she was led by reason, which was enough.

Returning to the third floor from Gu Haitang's study, Ji Xincheng was stretching in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the sky was dark, and under the reflection of the light, the window glass was like a mirror, Ji Xincheng saw Gu Shaoze from the mirror, and immediately turned around, "How is it?" ”

"Let's go, let's go home."

Gu Shaoze walked over, took Ji Xincheng's hand, and listened to her, "If you want to stay here for one night, you can do it." ”

So reluctantly, the man couldn't help but smile, and immediately grabbed her waist, "I don't want to, unless you want to." ”

"I don't want to."

Ji Xincheng chuckled and took the initiative to pull him out of the room.

On the way, Gu Shaoze relayed Gu Haitang's words to Ji Xincheng, Ji Xincheng seemed to understand or not, and asked: "Does that sister mean that everything will go naturally next, and Zhou Jingteng may still have hope?" ”

"Is that so?"

The man twisted his eyebrows and glanced at Ji Xincheng unhappily.

Although Ji Xincheng's understanding may not be one of many possibilities, Gu Shaoze prefers to believe that his sister has started anew, put aside everything in the past, and no longer look at people like Zhou Jingteng, whether good or bad.

"Yes, if my sister doesn't have each other in her heart, I think she should say lightly at dinner: I'm sorry, I already have a boyfriend, please die of this heart."

"She's not an actress."

Gu Shaoze disagreed, and Ji Xincheng corrected, "Art comes from life, and it's not without basis that you always like to act like this on TV!" ”

Ji Xincheng also said, "I think Mr. Zhou looks okay, maybe he can really catch up with his sister if he works hard." ”

"She deserves better, there's no need to eat back grass!"

The car turned a corner at the door and stopped in the courtyard, Ji Xincheng saw Gu Shaoze's face sinking in an instant, and said with a smile, "Gu Shaoze, I suddenly felt that you were a sister control!" ”

"What is Sister Control?"
