Volume 1 Chapter 117 The Seeds of Doubt
Hearing such unkind words from his friend, Tang Shaojie gasped twice, with a sad and angry expression on his face. Fastest update βrad eight β
"You're too polite," he said with a look of grievance on his face, "I'm just joking, and I haven't scared this beauty of yours, you're too harsh." β
Naturally, however, neither of them paid any attention to him. Gu Le shook his head and turned sideways to leave, but was stopped by Tang Shaojie.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Gu Le paused to walk out, revealing a puzzled expression: "Of course I'm going home, what's wrong?" β
Tang Shaojie glanced at Bai Xiuhan who was paralyzed on the sofa speechlessly, and then at Gu Le, who was puzzled, and said helplessly: "What's the matter, what are you talking about, we know that you are under house arrest in the Bai family, and we have been worried for a long time." Now that place is dangerous, you still don't want to go back. β
Gu Le shook his head: "That's not good, if I don't go back, I will definitely have doubts." Now they have more important things to do for the time being, and I have to get back before they get back. β
Tang Shaojie was a little anxious, like Bai Xiuhan behind him.
Bai Xiuhan finally stood up slowly and bowed his head to this side: "I'll send you back." β
Tang Shaojie was startled, looking at the friend in front of him in disbelief, and shouted: "Hey, hey, aren't you, it was you who was so frightened at the beginning, and now you are putting on a strategizing appearance, and you have to send her to that hell cave to face the pile of jackals, tigers and leopards, won't your wolf heart hurt?" β
He clutched his chest, looking distressed, Gu Le shook his head, made a gesture of "go out first", pushed open the door and left. Bai Xiuhan is a smart person, how could he not know how to treat himself is the safest and most appropriate.
After getting into the car, I don't know why the atmosphere between the two seemed to be extremely silent today, and no one had the intention of speaking actively. Gu Le glanced at Bai Xiuhan, who was driving seriously, and his resolute silhouette seemed to be hazy in the warm yellow light, which seemed to be a little softer.
The mobile phone in his hand vibrated a few times, and Gu Le hurriedly lowered his head, missing a hint of a vague smile on the corner of Bai Xiuhan's mouth.
"Hey, hello."
Because of the somewhat concealed hurry just now, Gu Le didn't know the name displayed on his mobile phone, and as soon as he connected it, he heard a cold voice over there: "Sister Gu, it's not safe for you to be outside alone, it's better to go home early." β
Gu Le frowned, took the phone to his ear and glanced at it, and saw that it was indeed a call from the Bai family's housekeeper.
"I know, just went out for a spin and I'm going back now."
There seemed to be a sound over there, and then the phone was transferred to another person's hand.
"Lele, it's okay to go out for a walk, but you can't go without bodyguards. It's so chaotic outside, a few days ago I went to the news and said that a girl as big as you was stabbed to death in the street, you are the daughter-in-law of our Bai family, of course you must pay attention to safety. β
It was a gentle female voice who spoke, Gu Le had heard this person's voice since the Bai family, she was the daughter of the old man Bai, she was very favored, and she was considered this physical aunt in terms of seniority.
Due to the age gap, Gu Le was embarrassed to call the seniority, so he had to say in a heavy tone: "I know sister, I used to be wild, and I won't let my family worry about it next time." β
The man let out a "hey" and asked casually, "Did a friend send you home?" β
Gu Le chuckled violently in his heart, glanced at Bai Xiuhan on the side, and said glutinously: "Yes, a friend of mine sent his housekeeper to deliver it, you don't have to worry." β
"Ah, that's right," the tone on the other side was noticeably lighter, "then you should be a little more attentive on the road." β
Gu Le nodded again and again, and after saying a few more words, he hung up the phone.
A certain housekeeper turned his head and stared at Gu Le meaningfully, staring at him a little hairy. Gu Le subconsciously swallowed his saliva and showed a wry smile: "This is not ...... There's no other reason. β
Bai Xiuhan sighed: "That's right, anyway, they don't treat me as a family member now." β
Hearing that there was a lot of loneliness in his tone, Gu Le was nervous, and first hurriedly comforted: "Don't say that, everyone is trying their best to help you find a way to recover your soul and bring you back to life, they must be concerned about you in their hearts." β
However, these comforting words did not have any substantive effect, Bai Xiuhan said lightly: "It's just what they want in me, if the huge benefit I can bring is less than the price they will pay when they resurrect me, do you think I will still be worthy?" β
Gu Le has seen a lot of disputes among wealthy families, so he naturally understands the meaning of Bai Xiuhan's words. Thinking of the words from the Bai family's sister just now, Gu Le was a little worried.
"I'm being watched by them now, and once they find you, is it okay?"
She subconsciously felt that Bai Xiuhan was avoiding the Bai family, and had no intention of returning to the Bai family.
Bai Xiuhan shook his head: "They are not the most important thing, now they just need to hide my nominal brother." β
"Bai Jinshi?" Gu Le blurted out in surprise, his eyes flashing with a little doubt, "He's just an illegitimate child who is not taken seriously, what is there to worry about." β
Bai Xiuhan didn't answer him, just laughed lightly and shook his head slowly.
Gu Le didn't know why, but suddenly he seemed to think of something, and his eyes widened in anger.
It turned out that outsiders like her subconsciously felt that Bai Jinshi's identity was embarrassing, and she would definitely be grateful to the Bai family's arrangement and obediently obey their arrangements, but a person as rigorous and considerate as Bai Jinshi, to put it bluntly, is meticulous and has no omissions, how can he be willing to obey the mercy of others?
That's right, how can such a scheming person be willing to become someone else's puppet?
Thinking of the piece of his heart that was captured by him, Gu Le couldn't help but beat his heart for a moment, and said in his heart that it was okay that Qu Yan's head was a little difficult to use, but fortunately, he didn't have the nominal fiancΓ©, otherwise he would probably be swallowed and there would be no bones left.
Gu Le was thinking deeply, and she didn't realize that she had arrived at the intersection of the Bai family, so she hurriedly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Bai Xiuhan heard the car on the side of the road and looked at her puzzled.
Gu Le stubbornly said, "Just stop here, and then I'll go back by myself." β
"You were sent back by a friend's butler," Bai Xiuhan said in a cold tone, "If a housekeeper disobeys the master's orders, the distinguished guest will be left alone on the way." β
Gu Le: "......"
However, Bai Xiuhan still couldn't appear in front of the Bai family, and he didn't know what method he used, and when he pasted a talisman on his face, the appearance and temperament of the whole person changed dramatically in an instant.
Gu Le had seen Bai Xiuhan's face-changing technique, and he was not particularly surprised when he arrived now, but carefully compared it with the original body, his appearance dropped by at least 50%, and he couldn't find a face that could not be found when he was thrown into the crowd of people, but Bai Xiuhan was not dissatisfied, and parked the car at the door of the Bai family's main house.
When he got out of the car, someone hurried over to answer him, and Gu Le glanced at it, but it was not the figure of the housekeeper. She wondered if something had happened to the old mansion, or if it was related to the lifting of the seal on Bai Xiuhan's coffin.
Gu Le asked softly, "What demons and monsters are sealed in that coffin of yours?" β
Bai Xiuhan glanced at him in surprise and shook his head: "Do you think I still want to go back after I escape." β
Gu Le thought about himself when he went to the coffin one day, and he couldn't help but show a strange expression when he was exactly the same face as that one.
"Don't move." As soon as Gu Le wanted to push the car door out, he heard a soft sound next to him.
Bai Xiuhan got up and collapsed out of the car door, helping Gu Le open the co-pilot's door, and his respectful appearance really felt like a private car driver.
Gu Le nodded at him reservedly, and whispered "goodbye" when he missed his body, and did not ignore Bai Xiuhan's soft words, "Hold on for two more days." β
Gu Le's body stiffened suddenly, the corners of his mouth hooked unconsciously, straightened up and strode into the house.
β¦β¦
There were very few people in the room, and it seemed that even Aunt Zhou, the cook who was busy in the past, was gone, but there were all kinds of dishes in the center.
Gu Le happened to be a little hungry, so he picked up chopsticks and ate them under the service of the servants.
The person standing next to her looked so calm, and her eyes couldn't help but show a little doubt.
Shouldn't this person be very nervous and scared, why is he still sitting down to eat without moving, is this still the weak Gu family sister who can be easily bullied in the housekeeper's mouth?
He looked at it for too long, and even when his eyes began to be sour, he saw that Gu Le had eaten enough, and put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand.
Gu Le wiped his mouth with a tissue, with a faint expression on his face: "Today's dishes are a little salty...... What about Aunt Zhou? β
The man hurriedly retracted his gaze and replied respectfully, "Aunt Zhou's family has changed a little, and she has gone back to take care of her son." β
Gu Le's heart suddenly "chuckled", Aunt Zhou's son is now in college, and it is also a famous university in City A, these are the same as Aunt Zhou's usual family routines, there should be no mistake.
So did they take Aunt Zhou away, or isolate Aunt Zhou from themselves, did they have a deep meaning?
Although his heart was already turbulent, Gu Le's face did not show half a worried look. She just tightened her eyebrows, and manipulated the character of a willful and brutal eldest sister vividly.
"When will she come back, I can't get used to the cooking of this family."
The man obviously didn't expect such a difficulty, secretly wiped a handful of sweat, and said slowly: "It's only a few days, and I'll probably come back after dealing with things." β
Gu Le had a bottom in his heart, guessing that it might be really the eyeliner in the family who heard his conversation with Aunt Zhou, coupled with the strange things that happened in the past few days, the two aspects were associated together, so she would be isolated.
If her guess is correct, Aunt Zhou should be in the old mansion now, accepting all kinds of interrogations. But Gu Le's shell is not a good character that arouses suspicion in terms of life information or personality, so even if he interrogates carefully, he can't find any sense of disobedience and suspicion, so Gu Le is not worried at all.
