Gu Chenglin has already put the Gu family's posture very low, for this well-designed birthday banquet, the Gu family actually just wants a qualified heir.

As for the eyes of outsiders, they don't seem to care, the two sons of the Gu family have long said in the outside world that they will not get married, and people like them are hard to follow, so they ......

Now that he has found Xu Zhexia, he has probably really encountered something, and he must bring people back, so Xu Zhexia thinks that this is probably the reason why the Gu family is willing to give in all the time.

The three of them discussed from the beginning of the itinerary to the specific situation at the banquet, and they all made a detailed strategy, and Gu Chenglin even gave Xu Zhexia a list of guests to be invited.

I have to say that the Gu family is a famous family, and almost all the powerful nobles in Kyoto have received invitations, and even some noble families in these places in Jiangcheng and Ningcheng have not let go, this huge specification should be the only one in the world.

At more than nine o'clock in the evening, the three of them finalized some things, Xu Zhixia glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, the time was not early, she looked at Gu Chenglin, and suggested in a low voice: "It's not early, why don't you take a rest here?" ”

Xu Zhexia smiled, turned her head and planned to instruct the maid who had been waiting by her side for a long time as soon as she entered the door to clean up a room and come out, but before she could say this, she was rejected by Gu Chenglin with a smile.

"Don't bother."

The man didn't have any expression on his face, but the afterglow of his eyes unintentionally looked at the little corner of his clothes exposed at the corner of the stairs, he quickly retracted his gaze, and fell on Xu Zhexia's body again, and explained with a smile: "No need, I have a morning meeting tomorrow morning, and now I have to rush back to Kyoto." ”

He looked at Xu Zhexia and explained with a slightly stunned look.

Xu Zhexia naturally realized that something was wrong, but she didn't say anything, just pursed her lips, glanced at Jiang Yanzhi beside her, and then sighed helplessly, the husband and wife sent Gu Chenglin to the gate of the courtyard together, and watched the back of the car disappear into the night before it was over.

On the way back to the house, Xu Zhexia and Jiang Yanzhi slowed down tacitly, obviously walking for less than five minutes in normal times, but this time they walked for nearly ten minutes.

The two of them looked up, and now this position is just enough to see Aunt Tong's room on the second floor, which is brightly lit, and a figure is reflected on the curtain, Xu Zhexia is silent, and he pulls Jiang Yanzhi tightly with one hand.

She didn't believe that Aunt Tong didn't know anything, on the contrary, Aunt Tong was actually the one who knew the most, but Xu Zhexia didn't want to admit that after getting along for so many years, the person she regarded as a relative would hide such a big secret.

If it weren't for Gu Chenglin's visit today, maybe she would have been kept in the dark for the rest of her life.

"Jiang Yanzhi." Xu Zhexia pulled her lips and called him softly, the man held her hand, she looked sideways at the people around her, and even her voice was slightly trilled.

"If they all knew about it a long time ago, then does it mean that, in fact, Xu Qin has always known?"

Xu Zhexia's whole person was trembling slightly, and a pair of affectionate eyes were like a fragile glass at this moment, ready to fall to the ground at any time, and then shatter into pieces of slag.

She didn't even have the courage to think about it, if this thing was true, then what should she do, Xu Zhexia's brain was a little numb, and Aunt Tong's reaction, like a movie, was playing in a loop in her mind, stinging her eyes deeply.

Jiang Yanzhi was silent, and wiped away the small tears from the corners of Xu Zhexia's eyes with his big hand, Xu Zhexia has always been a strong person outside, even in the play, he is too little to shed tears.

But no one knew that Xu Zhexia used to be a delicate little princess, even if she just gently scratched a little skin, she would walk in front of the little Jiang Yanzhi with tears in her eyes and be coquettish with him.

It's just that after Lin Zhongxia's death, the girl who was once weak seemed to have grown up a lot overnight, she was no longer obsessed with her father's attention and love, and turned a blind eye to Xu Qin's Yingying Yanyan outside.

It was probably from that time that Xu Zhexia really realized that there are some things that some people have to give up when they should give up, and forcibly supporting the relationship will only collapse at a specific time and place in the future.

When was the last time Xu Zhexia cried? It was probably when the Gu family found themselves for the first time, and there was a strong unwillingness and confusion lingering in their hearts, like ten thousand ants devouring their hearts, and the pain was so painful that Xu Xia couldn't breathe.

And this time, it was also because of the Gu family that she felt the father's love that appeared again after many years.

"Jiang Yanzhi—" She called the man's name in a low voice, and the head was protected by Jiang Yanzhi, lying on his chest, tears soaking the clothes on his chest.

"Am I doing something wrong?"

When Xu Zhexia said this, the whole person couldn't help but tremble, and she cautiously, her thin lips spit out word by word: "I seem to be a bad person, Jiang Yanzhi, why did this kind of thing happen to me, why, why is it not me, and why is it at this time." ”

She cried and sobbed, and the grievances poured out like a dam bursting its embankment, and she couldn't stop the car at all.

Jiang Yanzhi had just thought of comforting words, and the moment he saw Xu Zhixia's emotional collapse, he took them all back, he just hugged the person in his arms like this, and his warm and powerful big hand slapped her back again and again, patting her back rhythmically, gently giving people a smooth breath.

Xu Zhexia had forgotten how she got back to the room, but after crying, her whole body seemed to be drained, and she couldn't say a word, almost falling down on the pillow.

Until the next morning, when Jiang Yanzhi brought her mung bean porridge from downstairs and brought it to her mouth, she couldn't recover from last night's emotions, and even a trace of red blood could be seen in the corners of her eyes.

Jiang Yanzhi didn't speak, just silently blew the soup in his hand and sent it to Xu Zhixia's mouth, the warm mung bean soup was in the mouth, and Xu Zhixia's dry throat was moisturized, but she only drank two sips and turned her head.

A pair of eyes fell on the ceiling, as if they were about to shed tears in the next moment.

Jiang Yanzhi understood that her mood was not very good now, and he understood, so he put the porridge in his hand on the bedside table, held Xu Zhixia's hand with his big hand, and rubbed it gently.

"Immortals."

The man's clear voice was in his ears, Xu Zhixia blinked, only to hear him say, "I asked you for leave, do you want to go and see him?" ”

Jiang Yanzhi seemed to be asking for Xu Zhexia's consent, but he was afraid that someone would shrink himself into a ball like a turtle with your head shrunken, and he struggled for a long time as if he was thinking about how to open his mouth The most appropriate.

"Will he want to see me?"

It took a long time for these words to overflow from Xu Zhixia's throat, and her eyes had long been dyed with a layer of mist, like a rabbit, red.

To be honest, Jiang Yanzhi was not quite sure about the outcome of this question, he hesitated, and only said after a long time: "I don't know, but Xianxian, I think he is willing to see you." ”

His words reached Xu Zhexia's ears, and the girl seemed to have a picture of her childhood.

The little Xu Zhexia sat on Xu Tan's shoulder, smiling brightly, opening his hands and feeling the wind from above.

A hint of emotion flashed in her eyes, but she couldn't make up her mind, and she was still a little hesitant, unable to say a word.

"Xianxian, you and I both know, he already knew." Jiang Yanzhi stared at her and gave one last booster, "So, no matter who you are or whose daughter you are, for him, he may not care." ”

Xu Zhexia's heart tightened, she didn't even know what to say, Jiang Yanzhi took her hand, and the temperature transmitted from his palm seemed to give Xu Zhexia an inexplicable courage.

Two minutes later, Xu Zhexia nodded solemnly, she got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom, Jiang Yanzhi had already prepared all the things for her, soaked towels, squeezed toothpaste, Xu Zhexia looked at the things in front of her and smiled.

She silently said thank you, then closed the door, looked at herself in the mirror with red eyes, she suddenly smiled, and then restrained her sad emotions, picked up a large handful of water, and rushed to her face.

The cold water stimulated her skin, and the whole person instantly felt a lot more sober.

After coming out of the house, Xu Zhexia was obviously a lot calmer, she went to the cloakroom and picked out a pink dress, and then sat in front of the makeup mirror and put on makeup.

Xu Zhexia is dressed very well-behaved today, and she looks like a good girl, especially the pink dress, which makes her cold face a little more cute.

She chose a bean paste-colored lip oil, applied it little by little on the thin lip flap, and after making sure that the whole person was fine, she took a deep breath and walked down from the third floor, Jiang Yan was sitting on the sofa alone, with a computer in front of him that was in a meeting.

When the man saw her come down, his original frowning brows relaxed at the moment when he met Xu Zhexia's gaze, Jiang Yanzhi quickly finished the work at hand, and Xu Zhexia just sat beside him and waited quietly.

Jiang Yanzhi stretched out his hand to turn off the computer in front of him, he looked at Xu Zhexia, who was well-dressed, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, and the man's slender fingers gently lifted the broken hair around Xu Zhexia's ear and put it behind his ear.

His voice was calm, as if he was saying something not very important: "Immortal." ”

Jiang Yanzhi looked at her, as if he wanted to see the emotions hidden by her through Xu Zhexia's calm and windless eyes.

"When you're ready, we're off to go."

"Hmm." Xu Zhexia nodded lightly, then took the initiative to take Jiang Yanzhi's hand, and the two of them walked out of the manor together.
