"Knock knock."

"Enter."

Gu Ci was busy processing the documents when there was a sudden knock on the door outside the office door.

He meant that Chen Qing or other subordinates came to report on their work, so they didn't bother to look up.

It wasn't until the door was pushed open that he heard Chen Qing say, "Mr. Gu, the old lady is here." ”

Hearing this, Gu Ci suddenly raised his head and found that Chen Qing was standing at the door with Old Madam Gu in his arms.

He hurriedly got up and went over to greet him, "Grandma? Why did you come here all of a sudden? ”

It stands to reason that Mrs. Gu should be at home to accompany Gu Haozhen to enjoy the joy of family at this time, why did she suddenly rush to the Gu family?

And as soon as he walked in, he noticed that Old Madam Gu's face didn't look very good.

Gu Ci walked to the sofa with Mrs. Gu in her arms and sat down, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her, "Grandma, you drink saliva first." ”

"Thanks, Ah Ci, but I don't want to drink it now, so let's put it there first." Old Madam Gu waved her hand, and her face, which was covered with traces of time, seemed to have a little more vicissitudes than in the past.

Since Gu Yun'er gave birth to Gu Haozhen, her life has been a lot more fun, and she hasn't had such a serious expression on her face for a long time.

Looking at her sad appearance, Gu Ci couldn't help but be a little worried.

He leaned closer and sat down beside Old Madam Gu, "Grandma, is something happening?" ”

Old Madam Gu let out a long sigh and looked at Gu Ci, "Ah Ci, do you remember when you came to the house to see your cousin when you were a child?" ”

Hearing "cousin", Gu Ci's memory was instantly pulled back many years ago.

I vaguely remember that it was about 20 years ago, when he seemed to have just entered elementary school, and his grandmother suddenly brought a woman in her twenties and thirties home.

The woman has a slender body and a gentle temperament, which inexplicably makes people feel like they want to be close.

He ran up to his grandmother and curiously asked about the woman's identity, who told him that he should call her cousin. When he was a child, he was not as distant as he is now, so he immediately threw himself into his cousin's arms and told her that he liked her very much......

Later, his cousin stayed at Gu's house for a few days and left, and his grandmother told him that his cousin was going abroad and that it was very likely that she would not come back, and he cried a lot.

Later, Gu Ci never saw this cousin again, and only occasionally heard Mrs. Gu mention that she was doing well overseas, but it seemed that she had never been married.

After a while, Gu Ci gathered his thoughts and asked Old Madam Gu, "I remember, what's wrong grandma?" Cousin: Did she encounter anything outside? ”

"She ......" Old Madam Gu stopped talking, and her eyes were also red.

Seeing this, Gu Ci reached out and gently patted Old Madam Gu's back, "Grandma, don't get excited, let's figure out a way together if there is anything." ”

"It would be nice if it just happened." Old Madam Gu choked up and said, "Just now I received news that your cousin and she had suffered a car accident, and the rescue was ineffective, and she had left." ”

When the words fell, Old Madam Gu's tears also burst out of her eyes.

Gu Ci was also stunned, a little unable to believe that the gentle and virtuous cousin in his memory left so suddenly.

And Mrs. Gu was naturally even more sad, "Ah Ci, although your cousin has not come back much over the years, she is the child I watched grow up, and I really find it difficult to accept it." ”

After all, one of the great sorrows in this world is that white-haired people send black-haired people.

Old Madam Gu never thought that Cousin Gu would take a step before she left.

Looking at Old Madam Gu's sad appearance, Gu Ci was distressed but helpless, all he could do at the moment was a few words of comfort.

"Grandma, I can understand your feelings, but don't be too sad. The so-called Si people are gone, the living are like Si, you should take good care of your health, if your cousin is still there, she definitely doesn't want you to bother with her affairs. ”

Sometimes, words really pale in front of the facts, and they are not enough to comfort people. However, it is never the words that can really make people feel comforted, but the care and love brought by the person who speaks.

Just like Old Madam Gu, although she was sad in her heart, she was somewhat relieved to have Gu Ci by her side.

After calming down, she took Gu Ci's hand and patted the back of his hand twice, "Ah Ci, you said that grandma understands, but I ...... when I think of that child."

Old Madam Gu choked again.

Worried that too much injury would make Old Madam Gu's body unbearable, Gu Ci quietly changed the topic.

"Grandma, everyone has a life, and there are some things that we can't change. But don't worry, I'll definitely make arrangements for my cousin's funeral later. ”

The soul has returned to his hometown, and after so many years away from his hometown, it is time to come back.

"Okay." Old Madam Gu wiped the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes and instructed Gu Ci, "Then it's up to you to handle it, but you have to work hard these days." ”

"It's okay, that's what I'm supposed to do."

Old Madam Gu nodded slightly, "By the way, in addition, there is another thing that needs you to have a snack." ”

"Grandma, you say."

"Although your cousin has never been married in her life, she adopted a daughter after she went abroad, and she is about the same age as you, called Zhao Zhitao. Now that your cousin is gone, it is pitiful for her to be alone abroad, so you can also help her make arrangements. ”

"Okay, I see."

Gu Ci didn't hesitate, and agreed in one bite.

Although he doesn't have as much affection for this cousin as Old Madam Gu, he still has some origins, not to mention that Old Madam Gu said it, even if she didn't say it, if there was something that could help, he wouldn't shirk it.

After arranging everything, Old Madam Gu didn't stay any longer.

After Mrs. Gu left, Gu Ci gave Chen Qing the contact information of Zhao Zhitao that he had obtained from Mrs. Gu, and instructed him to contact Zhao Zhitao and ask her about her current situation.

Chen Qing's work efficiency was very fast, and he came to Gu Ci's office to report to him in less than twenty minutes after receiving instructions.

"Mr. Gu, the Miss Zhao you want me to contact, I have already contacted her, because of Ms. Zhao's post-mortem handling, she is still abroad, if nothing else, she will return to China in two days."

"Got it." Gu Ci paused, and then instructed, "You go to find a suitable place to live, arrange everything before she returns to China, and try to make her not feel any inconvenience when she returns." ”

"Yes."

Gu Ci pinched his eyebrows, suddenly remembered something, looked at Chen Qing with a plain expression and said.

"In addition, the time I can spend in the company in the past two days may be relatively reduced, you keep an eye on the company's side, and report to me as soon as there is any trouble."

Chen Qing didn't dare to delay, and replied solemnly, "Okay, Mr. Gu, don't worry, I will always be vigilant." ”
