Chapter 173: The half-finished mummy

The sun shone sparsely on her face through the curtains, and the warmth was a little dazzling, Joai moved her body and buried herself in the quilt, and after a while, her brain cleared up a little, she sat up lazily and yawned, and found that she was the only one in the room.

What about Zhou Chengyan?

Joe glanced at the time and saw that it was already half past eleven.

It's already so late, no wonder he's not there.

Qiao Ai raised her hand and rubbed her temples twice, and when she got out of bed, she saw at a glance the towels and other items that had not been put away.

Joe paused.

Last night, she leaned on Zhou Chengyan on the way back and fell asleep unconsciously, only vaguely remembering that he carried herself home and kept fiddling with her body.

The place where his fingers passed was cold and extremely comfortable.

No wonder she didn't have any sequelae such as headaches after waking up from a hangover today.

Qiao Ai pursed her lips, her eyes filled with a sweet smile, and she went downstairs after changing her clothes.

"Uncle Zhang, where's the banquet?"

Hearing the impatience in Qiao Ai's words, Steward Zhang smiled even more: "The young master went to the company early in the morning, and before leaving, he specially ordered that when you wake up, drink this sobering soup first." ”

Qiao Ai took the bowl handed by the maid, drank it all dryly, and was about to say something, when a maid ran in: "Madam, there is a guest who wants to see you." ”

"See me?" Qiao Ai raised her eyebrows slightly, a little surprised: "Who is it?" ”

"He said his surname was Gu."

Joe Ey's sigh: "He's the only one?" ”

"No, there is a woman besides him." The maid said with some confusion: "It's just that the person seems to be injured and has bandages on his body." Madame, do you want to see them? ”

"See you." Qiao Ai wiped the corners of her mouth with her hands, and the tails of her eyes were slightly raised: "There are guests coming to the door, how can you not see it." ”

"Yes."

Qiao Ai turned his head and asked, "Uncle Zhang, did Chengyan say when he will come back?" ”

Uncle Zhang answered all questions: "I didn't say it, but he told you to call him when you woke up." ”

Qiao Ai nodded, guessing his arrangement: "No need to call." You ask the chef to prepare something he likes to eat, and I'll send it to him later. ”

Zhang Boxi smiled and said, "Okay." ”

As she spoke, the maid walked in with Gu Nan and the others.

Gu Nan was not much different from yesterday's meeting, but his expression was slightly haggard. But Gu Youyou behind him looked extremely miserable.

In addition to the thick bandage wrapped around his legs, he also had a circle around his head, and he could faintly see the blood of the stars oozing out.

Her face was ugly, and she was covered from head to toe with four big words of reluctance.

"Mrs. Zhou." Gu Nan said hello first.

"Gu Shao." Qiao Ai stepped forward with a smile: "I didn't expect you to come suddenly, there is no preparation at home, if there is anything rude, please forgive me." ”

A touch of embarrassment flashed across Gu Nan's face.

Qiao Ai's words seemed polite, but in fact, he was accusing him of suddenly visiting without saying hello.

"But I heard the maid say that Gu Shao came to me specifically, what's the matter?"

Joai approached, as if he had just noticed the half-finished mummy behind him, and said in surprise, "This ...... Is this Miss Gu? What happened? How did she become like this? ”

Gu Youyou grinded his teeth fiercely, and he couldn't see Qiao Ai's appearance: "Do you really don't know or are you pretending to be stupid?" ”

"Gu Youyou!" Gu Nan bowed his head to the side, full of warnings.

Gu Youyou snorted indignantly and twisted his head to the side with all his might.

"Mrs. Zhou should not be like her." Gu Nandao: "The two of us came today to apologize to Mrs. Zhou. ”

"Apologize?"

Qiao Ai raised his hand and rubbed his temples, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "I accidentally drank too much wine last night, and I can't remember exactly what happened." But looking at Miss Gu's appearance, her injuries seem to be related to me......"

Joe pretended to be nervous, "But I don't remember that I had a habit of beating people when I was drunk." ”

"No, her injuries were not caused by you, Mrs. Zhou. Be...... It's ......" The next words, Gu Nan was really a little difficult to say.

He seemed to have a good conversation with Zhou Chengyan last night, but Zhou Chengyan's replies to him were all ambiguous and inaccurate.

This is also normal, after all, this is the first time the two have really met, and if they want to cooperate, they naturally need to know more.

But Gu Youyou admitted in front of so many people last night that she wanted to harm Qiao Ai......

With this, with Zhou Chengyan's feelings for Qiao Ai, how could he still cooperate with the Gu family.

Gu Nan thought about it all night, and thought of countless ways to classify everything last night as an accident, but finally chose to give up.

He is not a stupid person, and Zhou Chengyan is not either.

Playing tricks in front of smart people, if you don't have the certainty of victory, the result will only backfire.

Therefore, the best way is the stupidest way.

That is to give up those tricks and simply apologize to the door.

Even if it was only a brief contact, he had a gut feeling that Joe was not one to kill her.

In addition, Qiao Ai is the real victim of last night's farce, as long as she chooses to forgive, Zhou Chengyan will naturally be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

It took him one night and one morning to coerce and lure Qi into battle before he brought Gu Youyou over and apologized.

But I never expected that Qiao Ai would lose her memory after drinking and didn't remember last night at all.

The words swirled at the root of his tongue, and Gu Nan tried his best to say in the most tactful way: "Here's the thing, everyone was so happy last night, they all drank a little too much." Youyou and Yixuan are still childlike, and they made themselves like this, not to mention, and accidentally almost injured Mrs. Zhou by mistake. ”

"Looking at Miss Gu's appearance, this accidental injury is really not ordinary." Qiao Ai suddenly remembered something, and said lightly: "Besides, if I'm not mistaken, Miss Gu seems to be the same age as me?" "So what?" was looked at by Qiao Ai with that kind of smiling eyes, and Gu Youyou's heart suddenly surged with an indescribable nameless anger.

They had been in for so long, especially her, who still had bandages on her legs, making it inconvenient to stand, but Joe didn't even know to let them sit down.

She clearly did it on purpose! Deliberately put on this high-flying appearance in front of her! Show her off the fact that she is the mistress of this house!

The fire of jealousy surged up, burning Gu Youyou's already few sanity and intelligence.

Gu Youyou's eyes swept around, and after making sure that there was no figure of Zhou Chengyan, he put aside his worries, glared at Qiao Ai fiercely, and said unscrupulously: "Don't you want to know where the injuries on my body came from?" Okay, I'll tell you! It's all because of you! ”
