"Okay."

"Dad, no one bullied you in there, right? Do you eat well and sleep well? ”

Gu Yanxi sat in the back seat with Gu Tianhua, holding his hand and asking questions.

"I'm very good inside, I guess Mr. Li has also said hello to the people inside, and they all take good care of me."

Gu Tianhua looked as usual, and patted Gu Yanxi's hand comfortingly.

Feeling his father's rough palm, Gu Yanxi was slightly stunned, and his heart was a little sour.

It's been a long time since I saw my father.

The familiar face in front of him had climbed into many wrinkles at some point, and his father's eyesockets, which were full of energy before, had quietly sunken in, and he looked a lot haggard.

The tip of Gu Yanxi's nose was sour, and he held Gu Tianhua's hand instead, and his voice was low.

"Dad, you've lost weight and you're dark."

"It's not a blessing for me to go in, it's nothing."

Feeling his daughter's distress, the matter had passed, Gu Tianhua didn't want to see his daughter shed tears in front of him, so he quietly changed the topic.

"How are you? Is school still going well? ”

"It's going well, I'm studying very well."

Hearing Gu Tianhua's inquiry, Gu Yanxi smiled shyly, and then raised his head and touched his nose, which was a bit proud, with a hint of rare coquettishness.

"Yes, Yanxi has always completed his studies well."

As if to corroborate Gu Yanxi, Li Chen also made a positive voice.

He looked back through the rearview mirror, just in time to meet Gu Yanxi's gaze, the eyes of the two were intertwined and conveyed strong love, Li Chen hooked his lips silently, his eyes were full of pampering.

On the other side, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Gu Tianhua looked at them quietly.

Gu Tianhua pursed his thin lips, feeling faintly uneasy in his heart, he had seen too many eyes in his life for half his life, and he only hoped that things were not what he thought, otherwise he would definitely take action to stop this from happening.

The car drove smoothly to the door of the house, and when he got out of the car, Li Chen helped Gu Tianhua carry his shabby luggage, while Gu Yanxi took his father's hand and walked slowly into the room.

Gu Tianhua looked around for a week, the house was very clean, and there was a maid in the kitchen who was cooking.

"Sir, dinner is ready."

When the maid heard the voice, he took off his apron and walked out of the kitchen, standing in front of Li Chen, bending down slightly to report the progress of the work.

"Well, you're ready to get off work." Li Chen nodded and said.

"Dad, let's eat first."

Gu Yanxi naturally took the apron in the maid's hand, raised her legs and walked to the kitchen to hang it in the corner.

"Okay, I'll go change my clothes first."

Gu Tianhua frowned, suppressed the solemnity on his face, glanced at Li Chen and Gu Yanxi, took his luggage, and slowly walked into the bedroom.

Li Chen walked to the kitchen and found the wine that the maid had bought before, today is the day Gu Tianhua was released from prison, so he naturally needs to drink some wine to wash the dust.

At the dinner table, although Li Chen kept a certain distance from Gu Yanxi, the care between the lines and the act of picking up vegetables and vegetables all revealed the intimacy of the two, which Gu Tianhua saw in his eyes.

Gu Tianhua, who has been in prison for the past four years, is very depressed at this time, Li Chen is the boyfriend of his eldest daughter, but now he is actually flirting with Gu Yanxi, if he has anything to do with his youngest daughter, it will simply ruin the family style.

Between pushing the glass and changing the lamp, Gu Tianhua finally couldn't bear it anymore, he couldn't get used to drinking red wine, so he raised his head and took a sip of a whole glass of white wine.

The spicy liquor slid down his throat and into his stomach, irritating his sore throat, but it was also the sobriety he wanted.

He slammed his glass on the table, and opened his mouth in a serious and straightforward tone:

"What's your relationship now?"

Li Chen, who was serving vegetables to Gu Yanxi, was startled by this voice, the movements in his hands were still stopped in the air, he bowed slightly, and the light sprinkled on his hair to leave a shadow, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

When he raised his head again, he had already hidden the emotions in his eyes, Li Chen looked sideways at Gu Yanxi, who was slightly uneasy beside him, put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked directly at Gu Tianhua with a calm expression, and made a posture ready to confess.

"It's exactly what you think in your heart, we're in this together."

The voice is flat, but firm.

Gu Yanxi was frightened, twisted his brows lightly and tugged at Li Chen's sleeve to signal him not to say so.

"You're together?" Gu Tianhua asked loudly, his eyes looked at Gu Yanxi tightly, obviously unable to accept this fact.

"No, no, Dad, don't listen to Li Chen's nonsense!" Gu Yanxi denied it in a panic.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the three of them had different expressions.

"Gu Yanxi, come over to me! I let you borrow it, but I didn't let you seduce your brother-in-law! Did you learn that in school? ”

Gu Tianhua in anger couldn't think, a man can only be responsible for a woman, doesn't Gu Yanxi understand this truth?

Gu Yanxi shuddered at his father's yelling, and obediently walked to his father's side and stood up, like a child who had done something wrong, with a thin layer of sweat in his palms, and he lowered his head and clenched the corners of his clothes uneasily.

"Please don't say that about Yanxi, it's Yanxi that I took the initiative to pursue." Li Chen stepped forward and gently took Gu Yanxi's hand, and presented it in front of Gu Tianhua as if he had taken an oath.

Looking at the two hands tightly clasped in front of him, Gu Tianhua's voice trembled slightly, he barely summoned a trace of reason, dragged his daughter behind him, and spoke stiffly.

"Li Chen, Mr. Li. Thank you for taking care of Gu Yanxi and taking care of my family, I keep this kindness in my heart. But anyway, we met because of Sisi, and you are my eldest daughter's boyfriend in my heart. Now why are you provoking Yanxi again? I only have these two daughters, so you shouldn't do such a thing! ”

"Uncle, we are serious......"

Li Chen was about to open his lips when Gu Tianhua interrupted him.

"You say you're serious, can you tell the two sisters apart? Do you like Gu Yanxi as a person, or the insignificant shadow of Sisi on Gu Yanxi's body? ”

Li Chen's throat tightened, and he wanted to say something definite, but at this moment, he was speechless and couldn't say anything.

He hesitated.

When Gu Yanxi saw Li Chen's reaction, his heart felt as if he was stinged, and tears almost overflowed his eyes.

It turned out that she couldn't tell the difference in Li Chen's heart.

A series of mental preparations made before, at this moment, all collapsed.

"It's not that I can't accept this, I just hope you can figure it out. After all, the two sisters had the same blood in their bodies, and neither of them was a stand-in for the other. ”

The meal was not pleasant for the three of them, Gu Yanxi naturally stayed at home, first, to catch up with his father, and second, his father wanted to have a good talk with her.

Li Chen returned to the hotel with a complicated expression, which was destined to be a sleepless night.

"Yanxi, don't be busy, come here." Gu Tianhua called Gu Yanxi, who was cleaning the room, into the bedroom and patted the side of the bed.

Gu Yanxi put down the mop in his hand and sat down beside his father wordlessly, Xu was stimulated by Li Chen's reaction, and kept his eyes down, his expression was gloomy and lacking in interest.

She knew what her father was going to say, and her heart was in turmoil.

"What do you think of Li Chen? Is he the one who persecuted you? ”

Gu Tianhua saw that his daughter was distracted, maybe he shouldn't kill her, Gu Tianhua tried to persuade him with good words, and his tone became softer.

"No, he's good, he's good to me." Gu Yanxi shook his head lightly and denied it.

"Yanxi, it's not that my father is biased, but ...... If your sister is still alive now, Li Chen is already your brother-in-law. ”

"But my sister is gone, and Li Chen is free, isn't she?" Gu Yanxi's eyes were red, she didn't want to be like this, she was reluctant to Li Chen, but she was reluctant to her father.

"Can you understand that....."

Gu Yanxi muttered, his voice was like a mosquito, as if he was talking to himself.

She knew that if she insisted on choosing Li Chen, her father might also be looked down upon by his family and the world.

Maybe she shouldn't be so selfish, right?

"Even if I can understand it, can others understand it? When Sisi came back with Li Chen, the relatives at home saw it all over! They all know that Li Chen is your brother-in-law, where can I put my old face in this relationship between the two of you now! ”

Obviously, her words angered Gu Tianhua again, and he stood up excitedly, his fingertips trembling slightly, pointing directly at Gu Yanxi, who bowed his head and was speechless.

Being so severely criticized by her father made Gu Yanxi's head lower, and she silently shed a line of tears.
