Chapter 57: The Gu Family
When Xu Zhexia returned to Qinghe Courtyard, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening, and Chen Xu and Cherry were eating barbecue with her family's compound.
Probably seeing someone come back, Chen Xu looked at her with a smile, and came forward with a gossipy face and asked, "You're back so soon?" I thought you and He Sui were going to shoot until the second half of the night! I didn't expect it to be quite fast. ”
She looked at Xu Zhexia with a bright smile, which made people feel a little unsightly.
Xu Zhexia raised his eyebrows, and looked at the one who took a small step back silently with the meat skewers, to show that he was not in the same group as Chen Xu.
"Eating?"
She looked at the people in the courtyard, except for Chen Xu, the rest silently lowered their heads, reducing their sense of presence as much as possible, and even the subordinates with the two barbecues couldn't help but speed up the movements of their hands.
Chen Xu looked at Xu Zhexia and always felt that she didn't have any good intentions in this smile, but he still picked up a bunch of garlic eggplant that had just been roasted from the baking tray and sent it to Xu Zhexia, and his tone was quite compassionate.
"Garlic eggplant, although I added a little chili powder, but I don't think the calories are very high, and it's okay to eat it."
As she spoke, she moved slightly towards Xu Zhexia, but unfortunately, the other party didn't intend to pay attention to her.
Xu Zhexia crossed straight past Chen Xu and came to the two plates of barbecue, which had just been roasted out of the pot, and was sprinkled with sesame seeds and green onions, which was called a fresh fragrance.
"Xu Zhexia, you have excess calories today, you can't eat it."
Listening to Chen Xu's roar behind him, Xu Zhexia ignored it, picked up a plate by himself, picked up one of the lamb skewers sprinkled with the most chili powder, and bit it down in front of people.
The tender juice of the mutton burst in the mouth, mixed with the spicy taste of chili peppers, stimulating Xu Zhixia's entire taste buds.
"Not bad, good, delicious."
She raised her eyes and deliberately looked at Chen Xu in front of her, and nodded her head lightly twice to express her satisfaction.
Chen Xu sighed, ignored Xu Zhexia's provocation, and silently tasted the chicken wings in his hand, and it could be clearly seen that this person was even exerting his whole body when he was eating.
Quietly dissolving the skewers in his hand, Chen Xu called the cherry in front of Xu Zhexia and announced it in front of everyone.
"Cherry, I remember if she hadn't done Pilates for a long time."
Chen Xu mentioned it as if he was inadvertent, and his good-looking eyes stared at the cherry.
Cherry was stunned at first, as if she hadn't reacted yet, searched for news about the Pilates class in her mind, and then replied: "It seems that I haven't practiced for a long time, and when the shooting started, I stopped Pilates." ”
"Seems like so."
Chen Xu pretended to think, and after two minutes, he made a decision: "I think this Pilates course is actually very necessary." ”
She said seriously, but the afterglow of her eyes kept falling on Xu Zhexia, who was eating with her back to them.
"Especially, I can't control what she eats now, so I must pay attention, so ah, the one-hour Pilates class every day is still good."
After that, she deliberately looked in the direction of Xu Zhexia, as if she was observing the other party's reaction, and seeing that there was no major movement, she silently added: "One hour, isn't it enough, then add a little and it will become two hours." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Zhexia was immediately in a state of annoyance.
She looked back at Chen Xu, and felt that fire could erupt from her eyes, and the eyes that looked at Chen Xu seemed to be able to engulf people.
Chen Xu naturally noticed it, she just likes to see Xu Zhixia get angry now, and showed a smile with satisfaction, then clapped her hands and got up.
"Okay, it's not too early, I'm going to take her to shoot tomorrow morning, forget it tonight, starting tomorrow, two hours after the end of work every day, it's Pilates training."
After speaking, Chen Xu left satisfied, like a successful fox, revealing a pair of sparkling eyes.
Xu Zhexia stood in place, took a vicious bite of the mutton skewer, shook his head and lamented his small loss.
However, it was only two hours of Pilates, and she didn't think there was a big problem.
Looking at the people around him who cast sympathetic glances at him, Xu Zhexia looked a little leisurely, silently put down the plate in his hand, and then walked upstairs.
Cherry looked at Xu Zhexia's departing figure, she didn't know what she was thinking, she picked up a string of chicken wings on the plate and bit it down, leaned in front of Aunt Tong and whispered: "Aunt Tong, Sister Xianxian is leaving like this, I thought she would eat with a vengeance today." ”
Aunt Tong looked at the cherry and chuckled: "You, you still don't understand the little lady." ”
Cherry frowned, and just wanted to open her mouth to refute, but she heard Aunt Tong say again.
"She has always been the most measured, naturally she knows if she has eaten too much, she was just angry with Chen Xu just now, and the two of them are children."
Aunt Tong smiled over and over again and handed a bottle of herbal tea to Cherry: "You have eaten too much of this greasy thing tonight, drink some herbal tea and scratch oil, and I'll go back to see Miss." ”
With that, she turned to leave.
On the second floor, Xu Zhexia stood alone in front of the window, with a mobile phone on a rattan rocking chair.
She seemed to be waiting for someone's call, and she stood there alone for a long time.
"Doot-doo-doot-"
I don't know when, the phone rang suddenly, Xu Zhexia hurriedly went to get it, sat on the chair, found a good angle, and made sure that he was very beautiful before answering the phone.
"Fairy baby, I miss you so much-"
The girl's voice came from the other end of the phone, she was coquettish with a soft voice, and the voice should be a cute girl.
Xu Zhexia looked at the little girl in front of the camera, listening to the voice, it should be a super beautiful soft girl, but what she can see is a sexy beauty wearing a red dress, hot waves, and the most colorful lipstick.
"Long time no see, my fair mouth."
She said hello simply, looked at Xie Fengyao's soft gaze, looked each other up and down in front of the camera, her eyes fell on the small arm she exposed, and said in surprise:
"Fair, you washed the tattoo."
Xie Fengyao reached out and touched the piece that originally had the tattoo, and then nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I washed the tattoo off." ”
When she spoke, her tone was flat, as if she had been relieved, and she looked at Xu Zhexia in the camera and smiled.
"That's good."
I don't know how long it took, Xu Zhexia looked at her and suddenly said very seriously.
Xie Fengyao didn't seem to hear clearly, frowned and asked, "What did you say?" ”
Xu Zhexia looked at her, shook her head helplessly, with some helplessness in her tone, but said again very seriously: "I said it is really good, I wish you a spring in the dead wood and a good fate again." ”
Listening to her words, a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed in Xie Fengyao's eyes, and then he smiled lightly and changed the topic: "Then let's not talk about me first, let's talk about you first, I asked someone to check the birth records of babies twenty-five years ago in all hospitals in Ningcheng at that time, but ......"
When she said this, she didn't continue to speak, Xu Zhexia chuckled in her heart, and a thought lingered in her heart, lingering for a long time.
"Xianxian, are you sure that your aunt didn't make a mistake when she registered for you, there was no newborn baby girl at five o'clock on June 28 that year."
Xie Fengyao's words were like a thorn, piercing straight into Xu Zhixia's heart, making the last trace of hope in her heart wear out.
For a long time, she didn't answer, and it wasn't until Xie Fengxiao spoke up again that Xu Zhexia came back to her senses.
"I know, then the Gu family ....."
"Speaking of the Gu family, it really has something to do with Auntie, do you know the current head of the Gu family, Gu Jinyin?"
Xu Zhixia nodded, although she didn't know much about Kyoto, she still knew everything more or less under the influence of Jiang Yanzhi's ears and eyes.
"Gu Jinyin is the financial genius before the Gu family, but isn't he no longer in the Gu family now."
Gu Jinyin officially announced his departure from the Gu family two years ago because of some things, and since then he has embarked on a global journey, and the media has made a lot of speculation about why he suddenly left the golden period of expanding his business territory at that time, and the most one is-
Gu Jinyin had a lover, and broke up with her family for her lover.
Although this statement is just speculation in the media, it is also the most widely circulated and most widely circulated statement in the future.
"Xianxian, Xianxian, are you still listening?"
Xie Fengxiao shouted Xu Zhexia's name several times, but the other party did not react, and this blank lasted for about five minutes before Xu Zhexia withdrew from his own world.
She looked at Xie Fengyao on her phone, the other party was looking at herself with a foolish look, she smiled awkwardly, and explained, "I'm sorry, I just thought about things." ”
"What's the matter, it's so fascinating, I didn't even ...... you when I called you"
Before he could say the two words, Xie Fengyao's eyes suddenly changed.
"That'...... That fairy, I'm a guest here, I'm busy first, if you have anything else to send me WeChat, my sister will definitely help you. ”
As he spoke, he gently winked towards Xu Zhexia, and then quickly hung up the phone.
Looking at the chat interface that had been hung up, Xu Zhexia still felt a little dazed, and the scene of himself talking gently in the secret room flashed in his mind.
I don't know why, she always feels that the secret room set up by her mother doesn't seem to be as simple as she imagined, and there must be something she hasn't discovered.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, so she silently got up from the bed, opened the door, and looked at the study opposite.
Then he made up his mind and pushed the door open.
The entire manor of Qinghe Villa was designed by Lin Zhongxia himself, from the brick by brick to every furnishing of the room, it seems that it has its own purpose.
Especially the two study rooms in the other courtyard are quite exquisitely designed, if Wen Wan hadn't pushed the secret room open that day, she probably wouldn't have thought that there was such a large space hidden here.
Xu Zhexia held her mobile phone and looked at the study, as if she couldn't let go of any detail that she hadn't noticed.
