Chapter 81: Elders

Ji Xincheng told Gu Shaoze the news of Tang Tang's agreement, and Gu Shaoze immediately called Xu Mo back.

Xu Mo thanked him at the other end and said:

"Then we'll go to her now?"

Gu Shaoze turned on the hands-free, and Ji Xincheng couldn't help but be surprised when he heard it:

"Is it in such a hurry?"

"Xiao Tong has already packed his luggage."

"Oh, then you contact Tang to see, she should be at home at this time, say hello to her first."

"I will. In addition, those two plots of land ......"

Before Xu Mo finished speaking, the hands-free button on the mobile phone screen was canceled by Gu Shaoze, he took the mobile phone and said to Xu Mo:

"We'll talk about work later, you can take your son to Tang Tang first!"

Xu Mo was smiling over there, he clearly meant it.

Gu Shaoze ended the call, and then turned his head to look at Ji Xincheng quietly, who was already staring at him suspiciously.

"Why didn't you let me listen all of a sudden? Is there something hidden with Xu Mo? ”

"Where?"

Gu Shaoze didn't admit it, so he pulled Ji Xincheng to his lap and sat down, currying favor without a trace, "What do you want to eat at noon?" ”

Ji Xincheng was about to take a closer look, Gu Shaoze's mobile phone rang again, he glanced at it very casually, and when he saw that it was his sister Gu Haitang's phone, he took the mobile phone to listen.

"Sister."

"Shaoze, this weekend, do you have time, go home for a meal."

"Are you at home?"

"Yes."

Gu Haitang has been back for a while, Gu Shaoze has always wanted to go and see her, either this or that, delayed until now, he thought, it's time to go back.

He looked at Ji Xincheng and replied to the person on the other end of the phone:

"Okay, I'll be over later."

Putting down the phone, the man looked at Ji Xincheng apologetically, Ji Xincheng was very close to him, and he heard the words on the phone just now, and said nothing: "You go back, I just want to go to Tang Tang." ”

Gu Shaoze wanted to say something, such as asking her if she wanted to go with her, but he always felt very hypocritical, because he knew that she would definitely not go until the Gu family recognized her.

"Okay, I'll send you to Tang Tang first."

"It's not on the way, I'll drive myself."

"It's not far, let's go, go change clothes."

Ji Xincheng had no choice but to nod and get up from his arms.

The two changed their clothes slowly, and Gu Shaoze said again: "I'll go over after we finish lunch, and I'll come back after dinner over there." ”

He seemed to be explaining to her that he couldn't wait.

"I can go and eat with Tang Tang and them for lunch, and you can come back in the evening."

When these words blurted out, Ji Xin Chengfang felt that something was wrong, and glanced at Gu Shaoze, and sure enough, he was looking at her with a smile.

After a while, he said, "Okay." ”

But on the way to Tang Tang's house, Gu Shaoze still turned Ji Xincheng into a hotel, where Ji Xincheng loves to eat Jiangnan cuisine.

"You ask Tang Tang what to eat and pack them for them."

Ji Xincheng called Tang Tang, but he didn't expect Xu Tong to arrive yet, so he asked her not to prepare lunch and pack it for her here. Tang Tang's taste is comparable to Ji Xincheng's, and when he heard that Gu Shaoze invited him, he ordered it very unceremoniously.

"How can she finish eating alone?"

Gu Shaoze drank the soup, listened to Ji Xincheng report a bunch of dish names to the waiter, and asked casually.

"Isn't there Xu Mo and his son!"

Gu Shaoze suddenly said, "Oh, they're going to eat together?" ”

Ji Xincheng waited for the waiters to confirm that he had left, and then recalled Shaoze Dao:

"Don't think about it, Xu Mo sent his son over, if it happened to be a meal, wouldn't it be rude not to leave a meal?"

Let him not think about it, this sounds familiar, as if Xu Mo has also said it.

Gu Shaoze smiled and didn't speak again.

After eating, the two went straight to Tang Tang's house, Gu Shaoze followed behind Ji Xincheng with several bags of packaged meals, and from a distance, he saw Xu Mo and his son getting down from another car.

A father and son, one big and one small, dragged two suitcases, one large and one small.

The four of them met in the elevator.

Gu Shaoze was about to ask Ji Xincheng how many floors Tang Tang lived on, but Xu Mo had already pressed the number of floors.

"Have you been?"

Gu Shaoze obviously looked teasing.

Xu Mo was frank, "Come and take Xiao Tong." ”

Ji Xincheng stood beside Gu Shaoze, and after greeting Xu Mo with a smile, he looked at the father and son from time to time. Compared with the two people I saw on the farm, maybe because they were wearing casual clothes today, they felt more cordial, that is, the real kindness of the neighborhood, and after carefully pondering Tang Tang's behavior since he met the father and son, Ji Xincheng looked at Xu Mo again, and felt more and more pleasing to the eye.

"What are you looking at?"

After getting out of the elevator, Xu Tong took the lead in ringing the doorbell, Xu Mo was afraid that he would fall, so he quickly followed.

Ji Xincheng, who was lagging behind, listened to the man next to him ask, and his tone was slightly dissatisfied.

"I'll show Tang, Xiao Tong's father's different perspectives, what's wrong?"

Hearing her say this, Gu Shaoze slightly eased his expression, raised his eyebrows, and said softly:

"If there's anything you don't know, you can come and ask me."

"You're so kind?"

"You just found out today?"

Ji Xincheng ignored him, but Xu Mo and Gu Shaoze must have mentioned Tang Tang, otherwise with Gu Shaoze's temper, he would not be so concerned.

The meals packed from the hotel were all on the table, and Tang Tang still had no intention of leaving Xu Mo to eat.

Ji Xincheng urged Gu Shaoze to go first, but he said, "What if I miss you?" ”

Ji Xincheng's cheeks were hot, but fortunately, the three people in the living room didn't seem to have time to take care of them, so they kissed him on the lips, and then pushed the person out, "See you in the evening." ”

"Shall I wait for Xu Mo?" Gu Shaoze said with a smile.

"You go downstairs and wait."

Ji Xincheng was only afraid that Tang Tangyuan still wanted to keep Xu Mo, but Gu Shaoze was here, and she wouldn't speak.

In her selfish heart, she actually hoped that Tang Tang would have something to do with Xu Mo, and when she found out about this, she was a little uneasy, so it was better to let Tang Tang decide by herself.

Pushing Gu Shaoze out of the door, the door closed, Ji Xincheng turned around, but saw that Xu Mo was already in front of him.

"Are you leaving?" Ji Xincheng asked.

"Yes, there is still work to be done, Xiao Tong is here, so I will trouble you."

Xu Mo returned to his usual thoughtful politeness.

"Don't worry."

Ji Xincheng smiled slightly and sent the person out of the door.

Back in the living room, Tang Tang and Xu Tong were already sitting at the dining table face to face.

Ji Xincheng asked: "You don't leave people to eat, can you eat so much?" ”

"I can't finish eating, and I have a refrigerator at home! Ji Xincheng, in fact, I just want to slaughter your man. ”

When Tang Tang spoke so aggressively, Xu Tong's eyes were always glued to her face, and she realized that the words seemed to be a little inappropriate, so she immediately softened, "Sister means that Aunt Xincheng's husband is very generous, we don't have to be polite to him, huh?" ”

Xu Tong took the soup spoon handed by Tang Tang and scooped the soup very obediently.

Ji Xincheng said strangely: "When did I become an aunt?" Why are you still a sister? ”

"That's just the way it is."

Tang Tang stuffed rice into his mouth, ate it himself, and fed Xu Tong another bite.

The skillful appearance made Ji Xincheng a little dumbfounded, and those who didn't know should really think that this pair was a mother and son.

-

The car passed through a long forest, turned around several water bridges and meadows, and stopped in front of the gate of a European-style building in the center, which was Gu's old residence in the north of the city.

The old house is surrounded by endless green fields, and when you first enter this realm, you only feel that you are in the jungle, and you don't know that there is a huge building hidden here.

It is the style of imitation European style in the last century, and the wall has traces of time mottling, but from the door inside, there is no cave.

The rockery and flowing water, the courtyard and the small courtyard, are like a large mansion in the East.

Gu Shaoze went all the way in, and the servants he passed by were all dressed in suits and leather shoes, which would easily make people think that this place might be for an efficient institution, rather than a family's private domain.

"I told you, your behavior like this is extremely inappropriate in this family, even if there are no guests, it is all your own family, it is also inappropriate, I hope you will change it as soon as possible!"

Before Gu Shaoze arrived in the foyer, the voice of the little aunt Tong Nianya reprimanding the subordinates came out.

It turned out that the maid of the family was meeting her family in the woods outside the old house, and although she had obtained the consent of the housekeeper in advance, she was accidentally bumped into by her aunt, but she still did not reprimand people.

"Where's the butler?"

As soon as Gu Shaoze entered the house, he raised his voice.

An elderly man in a suit who was waiting in the corner walked out, "Young master, I'm here." ”

"If the people who work here are derelict in their duties, you have always been in charge of attendance, right?"

"Yes, young master."

"Then what are you doing in a daze, take it down."

He tilted his head sideways and pointed to the little girl with red eyes opposite his aunt.

When the housekeeper took people out of the living room, Tong Nianya's voice sounded:

"Shaoze, are you back? You didn't see my aunt ......"

"I see, Auntie, is there anything to do? Now even the work of the housekeeper has to be involved. ”

He turned around and stared blankly into Tong Nianya's eyes.

The other party was choked by these words, and was immediately speechless, "You, you ......" for a long time, and then turned to the corner in frustration, crying: "Sister, look! Your son is just helping his subordinates, not his aunt! ”

Only then did Gu Shaoze see that his mother Tong Siya was sitting by the window, drinking tea leisurely.

Hearing her sister's words, Tong Siya's soft gaze turned to her son, "Shaoze, you have only come back for so long, don't make your aunt unhappy." ”

Gu Shaoze sneered and did not answer.

Tong Siya got up and said in an accentuated tone: "Auntie is an elder, shouldn't she maintain a little?" ”

"She's not much of an elder."

As soon as Gu Shaoze said this, Tong Siya and Tong Nianya on the side were stunned.

Immediately afterwards, Tong Nianya was really aggrieved and cried, "It's all my fault, now this family doesn't welcome me, my subordinates can't say a word, and even my own nephew doesn't recognize me!" ”

"Okay, don't do it every time, aren't you wrong?"

Tong Siya raised her voice, and the one who was the younger sister immediately lost her momentum.

Gu Shaoze didn't bother to watch her sisters sing and harmonize, and turned around and entered the elevator.

On the third floor, in Gu Haitang's study, Gu Shaoze knocked on the door, and when he pushed the door in, Gu Haitang was sitting on the sofa flipping through an old book.

Seeing that it was Gu Shaoze, he marked the book and carefully put it on the desk.

Lead Gu Shaoze to the tea table and sit down.

The siblings hadn't seen each other since the last time they saw each other in the pharmacy, but it wasn't the first time they had seen each other in many years, and they both had familiar warm smiles on their faces.

"What, didn't bring your girlfriend back?"

Gu Shaoze shook his head, not wanting to mention Ji Xincheng at this time.

Gu Haitang didn't know why, so he didn't ask much, poured him a cup of tea, and asked:

"You were arguing with your aunt downstairs just now?"

Gu Shaoze lowered his head to drink tea and commented: "This tea is good." ”

"Shaoze, are you still holding grudges about the past?"

Gu Haitang's voice was faint, like her whole person giving people a sense of existence now, it seems that if the wind is a little stronger, it can be blown clean.

Gu Shaoze finished drinking the tea in the cup and did not speak, but put the cup on the coaster.

"Sister, how are you doing abroad all these years?"

He obviously didn't want to mention Tong Nianya again.

Gu Haitang took a seat on the main seat of the tea table, re-boiled water, and added tea to his younger brother.

"It's good, you see I'm back, if it's bad, I can't come back."

She said unhurriedly while scooping tea leaves on the tea lotus in the tea can.

Also, if Gu Haitang hadn't let go of the past, it is estimated that he would not have come back today, but if she talked about her years abroad, Gu Shaoze naturally didn't believe it, but fortunately, no matter how difficult the process was, his sister came back in the end.

Lucky.

In silence, Gu Haitang mentioned Ji Xincheng again, probably wanting to make the atmosphere more relaxed.

"I've been using a cosmetic product she endorsed recently, and it's pretty good."

Gu Shaoze thought of Ji Xincheng, the anger in his eyes unconsciously dissipated, Gu Haitang saw it in his eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.

"Sister, Ji Xincheng and I have already received the certificate."

"You're married?"

Gu Haitang said in surprise.

Although it was unexpected, it was reasonable.

Affirmed by Gu Shaoze, Gu Haitang sighed: "I was still thinking, this girl looks very good, if you can get along seriously, it will be good to be together for a long time, it seems that you have fulfilled this wish for me early." ”

Gu Shaoze smiled, and seemed to be a little worried.

"Mom and Dad don't know about this yet, don't tell them for the time being, I'm afraid they will look for her privately."

"Okay, I know."

After another cup of tea, Gu Shaoze asked his sister, "Do you mind her identity?" ”

Gu Haitang raised his eyes to look at his younger brother and understood what he meant.

"Shaoze, the root of marriage is a matter of two people, it doesn't matter what others mind, as long as you don't mind."

At this moment, Gu Shaoze suddenly woke up.

He has always been worried that the Gu family will be unwilling to accept Ji Xincheng, and he never thought that his family's disacceptance of Ji Xincheng would really have a great impact on them?

At this moment, after thinking about it carefully, he really felt that it might not be.

The two chatted in the study, sitting for a long time, Gu Haitang had changed several teas, Gu Shaoze suddenly wanted to call Ji Xincheng, and when Gu Haitang went downstairs to get refreshments, he really called.
