Chapter 118 Dazed
And now, they were obviously getting impatient.

Gu Shi'an was exhausted suddenly.

She obviously couldn't handle this matter. Chen Zhengkang had a big appetite, and he definitely wanted more.Once the will fails to fulfill his wishes, she knows without thinking that there will be troubles.

And if he didn't deal with it all the time, there was nothing Chen Zhengkang couldn't do.The old lady's body is still alive, and the Chen family may become a new topic of conversation for others.

Gu Shi'an was silent and did not speak. After a while, he said: "I know, I will find a chance to tell him."

Assistant Sun breathed a sigh of relief, and asked if he wanted to call a car to take them back.

Gu Shi'an looked into the office, shook his head, and said no.

Assistant Sun exchanged some polite words with Gu Shi'an, then said that he was downstairs and asked Gu Shi'an to call him, and left in a hurry.

Gu Shi'an stood at the door for a while before returning to Chen Xiao's office.The office was empty and deserted, and an inexplicable fatigue swept over him. Gu Shi'an leaned against the thick door, and after leaning for a long time, he walked to the window and looked at the bleak night outside.

She was exhausted and dazed, unable even to imagine the future.Sadness wrapped her heart tightly, and she closed her eyes tightly.

Chen Xiao inside did not make any movement. Gu Shi'an went in and looked at it twice and then sat down on the sofa.

Assistant Sun was extraordinarily careful, and brought the quilt from somewhere.Leave it to Gu Shi'an on the sofa.Gu Shi'an said thank you, and lay down on the bed under the quilt.

She didn't feel any drowsiness at first, but she couldn't bear the fatigue after all, so she slowly fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, it was already dawn outside.The office was unfamiliar, and she didn't know where she was for a while.It took several seconds for her mind to wake up.

She put on her shoes, and when she went to the lounge to look, she realized that Chen Xiao was no longer there.I don't know when it disappeared.She didn't notice it at all.

Gu Shi'an froze for a moment, looked at the time, only to realize that it was already past eight o'clock.She originally wanted to go out, but after a pause, she took out her mobile phone and called Assistant Sun.

The phone was connected within a short while, and Gu Shi'an asked, "Where did you, Mr. Chen go?"

Assistant Sun obviously didn't know either, so he let out an ah, and then said, "Wait, I'll call and ask."

He didn't talk too much nonsense, and hung up the phone directly after finishing speaking.

Gu Shi'an couldn't think of where Chen Xiao had gone right now, so he washed up in the small bathroom in the rest room, went back to the office, folded the quilt, and put it back on the bed in the lounge.

As soon as she finished these things, Assistant Sun called and said that Chen Xiao had gone out.There is a driver following, so she doesn't have to worry.He asked Gu Shi'an again if he needed anything, and he sent someone to send it right away.

Gu Shi'an was relieved to hear that someone followed, so he said no, then opened the office door and walked out.

There were indeed people working in the secretary's office outside, so I was surprised to see someone come out of the office.I was stunned for a moment.

Gu Shi installed as if he didn't see it, and walked straight to the elevator.It didn't take long for the elevator to come up, and she got into the elevator.

The face of the person reflected on the elevator wall was pale and haggard. Gu Shian took a deep breath and forced himself to pull himself together.

She has not gone to work for a long time, and she really has no energy.After leaving Chen Xiao's company, she didn't know where to go.

Gu Shi'an stood in a daze for a while, and got on the bus.She didn't know where she should go, and when she got off the car, she realized that she was in Chang's small courtyard.

At this time, Chang Li probably had already gone to work, and the door of the small courtyard was closed.Gu Shi'an stood in a daze for a moment, then sat down at the door of the courtyard, and buried his face in his knees.

She was still in a daze when Qin Tang called. The phone rang for a while before she answered it slowly and called Mr. Qin.

Qin Tang was silent on the phone for a while before asking, "Where is it?"

Of course, he attended the old lady's funeral.He didn't greet her, and she just saw him in the crowd from a distance.

Gu Shi'an looked around as if he just came back to his senses, and then told where he was.She sat at the door for a long time, the floor was cold, and even her body was cold.

Qin Tang didn't ask her what she was doing here, but said that he was nearby and asked her to wait, and he would ask the driver to come over later.

Gu Shi'an originally wanted to ask him what's the matter, but he didn't say much, and hung up the phone directly.

Gu Shi'an did not continue to sit at the door, but walked to the side of the road.

Qin Tang's driver came over after about half an hour, got out of the car, called Miss Gu respectfully, and then opened the car door for Gu Shi'an.

Gu Shi'an felt a little uncomfortable when he was so polite, so he said thank you in a low voice.

Qin Tang said it was nearby, but it was actually in the city center.Probably meeting a client, Gu Shian followed the driver into the hotel, only to see him coming down the stairs in formal attire.

Gu Shi'an was pale and haggard, his brows were slightly wrinkled, he looked up at the time, and asked, "Have you eaten?"

It was already noon, and Gu Shi'an didn't even have breakfast.She didn't look at Qin Tang, but forced a smile, and said something in a low voice.

Qin Tang acted as if he didn't hear, and led her to the elevator.

Gu Shi'an slept in Chen Xiao's office last night, his clothes were not changed, they were crumpled.Qin Tang led her upstairs and into the next room.

He opened the door, but didn't go in.He didn't go to see Gu Shi'an either, and said, "Someone will bring clothes over later, so I'll go take a shower first. I still have something to do, so I'll come over when I'm done."

Gu Shian originally wanted to say that he would wash it when he went back, but he nodded when he heard him say that.Let him go about his business.

Qin Tang left soon, as he said, after a while, someone brought clothes to Gu Shi'an.Gu Shi'an looked at it, and finally went to take a bath.

When she came, it was gloomy outside, and when she was taking a bath, there was rumbling thunder outside.Waiting for Gu Shi'an to take a shower and go outside, it was already pouring rain.

After taking a bath, the whole person feels much refreshed, and even his dizzy mind is also cleared up a lot.Gu Shi'an opened the door and went out, and immediately saw Qin Tang standing in front of the big French window, watching the pouring rain with a cigarette between his hands.

He said he had something to do, but Gu Shi'an didn't expect him to come back so soon, so he was slightly taken aback.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Qin Tang stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand, turned his head and glanced at Gu Shian, and said, "Dry your hair and come over to eat."

It was only then that Gu Shi'an noticed that food had already been set up on the table beside him.It should have just been served, and the soup is still steaming.

She was startled again now, but she didn't refuse and said yes.After drying my hair, I sat down at the dining table.

Probably because she knew that she had no appetite, and the dishes were all bland.The soup is also nourishing the stomach.

Qin Tang had probably already eaten and didn't move his chopsticks.Just sit aside.When Gu Shi'an was about to finish eating, he said, "Get a good night's sleep later, and I'll send you back when the rain stops."

His tone was the same as usual, still indifferent.

Gu Shi'an came here out of nowhere, and he didn't even know how he came here.

Hearing this, she shook her head and said, "You are busy with your work, don't worry about mine."

Qin Tang was silent and did not speak. After a while, he said, "It's raining heavily, and you can't leave now. I'll call you when the rain stops."

Gu Shi'an looked haggard, as soon as he saw it, he knew he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

Gu Shi'an wanted to say something, but Qin Tang stopped her.Seeing that she had almost eaten, she sent someone to clean up the dishes.

He didn't stay too long and went out soon.Gu Shi'an was left alone in the room.

Gu Shi'an walked to the window, and the rain outside was pouring down heavily along the glass.The streets are deserted, with almost no pedestrians and occasional vehicles passing by.

She was standing still and didn't know why, so she became stunned.It wasn't until there was a knock on the door outside that she came back to her senses.

Gu Shi'an went to open the door, and there was a middle-aged woman with light makeup standing outside.Seeing Gu Shi'an, he smiled and said, "Miss Gu, I'm a massage technician in the hotel. Boss Qin asked me to come over and massage you so that you can have a good rest."

Where did Gu Shi'an think that Qin Tang would call someone over to give her a massage, she was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Thank you, no need."

Now it was the middle-aged woman's turn to be stunned for a moment, Qin Tang should have confessed when she came over.She didn't say much, she bowed slightly to Gu Shi'an, and then went down.

Gu Shi'an was afraid that Qin Tang would call someone over again, so he closed the door and stood for a while, then lay down on the bed.

She was extremely tired, she closed her eyes and listened to the sound of rain pattering against the glass outside, and fell asleep within a short time.

It was past five o'clock when I woke up, and the rain outside hadn't stopped, but it wasn't as heavy as before.

The room was quiet and quiet, because of the rain, it was almost dark outside, and even the light in the room was much darker.

Gu Shi'an washed his face and put on the clothes he changed.She originally wanted to say hello to Qin Tang before leaving, but she knew that if Qin Tang knew that he was leaving, he would definitely send her off.So I didn't say hello again.There were many taxis parked in front of the hotel. She got in the car and sent a text message to Qin Tang, thanking him and telling him to leave by herself.

Qin Tang didn't know if he was busy or what, so he didn't reply to the text message.Gu Shi'an put the phone in his pocket and looked sideways out of the window.She didn't come to her senses until the driver asked her where she was going.

She reflexively wanted to report the place name of the old house, but just as she was about to say something, her body froze slightly, but she still reported the address of the new house.

When she went back, Chen Xiao didn't come back, the room was empty and deserted.She took off her coat, went into the kitchen, took out the vegetables she bought yesterday, and started cooking dinner.

She made soup, and it was past seven o'clock when it was ready.She originally wanted to call Chen Xiao, but before she took out her mobile phone, the sound of the door opening came from outside.

Chen Xiao quickly opened the door and came in. He didn't look drunk today.He wasn't surprised to see Gu Shi'an here, so he changed his shoes and went to wash his hands.

When he came out, Gu Shi'an had already set the table and chopsticks, and when she heard footsteps, she said softly to eat.

Chen Xiao looked tired between his brows, and walked to the dining table without saying a word and sat down.

He seemed to have returned to work, turned on the computer after eating, and started working.He has accumulated a lot of things these days, and he has a lot of calls.Finally, he simply put down the computer and walked to the window to answer the phone.

His voice was low, and Gu Shi'an couldn't hear clearly what was said on the phone.Compared with him, she was idle with nothing to do.She occupied the living room, so she went back to the study.

She had already slept at noon, and she couldn't sleep now.He just sat on the bed with his eyes open and looked at the ceiling.

The light in the living room was always on, it was already late at night when Gu Shian fell asleep, and it was unknown when Chen Xiao would rest.

Then doing nothing is doing nothing, Gu Shi'an got up very early the next day, and Chen Xiao didn't get up until breakfast was prepared.She ignored him, put breakfast on the table, took a steamed bun and went to work.

She hadn't been to the company for so long, and originally wanted to go to the office upstairs, but she still didn't go, and went to the reference room.

She didn't come for more than ten days, and there were great changes in the reference room.Except for the innermost part, Xiao Wang has already tidied up.It can be seen that she puts her heart into it.

Xiao Wang came late, and was a little surprised to see Gu Shian come to work.Gu Shi'an asked for leave, but she knew what others didn't know.Carefully said, Miss Gu, you are here.

Gu Shi'an smiled, nodded, and asked where she had packed everything.

Xiao Wang spoke quickly now.She has sorted out almost all the information, but she has to register it to facilitate inquiries at that time.

Although registration is not as tiring as sorting out, it is undoubtedly a big project.

Xiao Wang hasn't had breakfast yet, but Gu Shi'an has already had it.After listening to her, we must continue to tidy up.Xiao Wang quickly stopped her and asked her to register.It's up to her to sort it out.

Registration was a careful job, and she was careless for fear of making mistakes.

There are only the two of them here, and someone has to do this.Gu Shi'an said yes, and registered.

Working is more energetic than staying alone, at least there will be no random thoughts in the mind.She was relieved when she was eating at noon, and then she remembered to ask Xiao Wang: "Has she ever troubled you during this time?"

There was a tacit understanding between her and Xiao Wang, and Xiao Wang naturally knew who she was referring to.She made a mysterious look and said, "No. She didn't come during the time you asked for leave."

She obviously had something to say, so Gu Shi'an looked at her now.

Xiao Wang looked outside, and then said: "Sister Gu, do you still remember what I told you last time when she vomited in the bathroom?" After a slight pause, she said mysteriously: "A colleague met her in the hospital. Everyone in the company said that she should have gone there."

Gu Shi'an was stunned for a moment.

Xiao Wang seemed to have guessed that she would react like this, and said: "There are rumors in the company that she actually wants to rely on her stomach to get a position, but Mr. Qu disagrees, so there is only..." She said Shaking his head here and sighing, he said, "Actually, it's really pitiful when you think about it. It should have been more than three months. I don't know what it is."

Although she is in the reference room, she is still very well informed.I don't know where it came from.

I don't know if it's true or not, after all, it's just rumors.

Gu Shi'an told her not to follow suit.After all, this is the boss's personal business.

Xiao Wang now said that he only listened and never told anyone.

Gu Shi'an nodded now, and the two went to the cafeteria together.Luo Yun still didn't come, and she wasn't seen in the cafeteria.

Shu Min is more energetic than before when she is not here, and she talks and laughs with her colleagues, not the timid and cowardly look when she was there.

Xiao Wang followed Gu Shi'an's gaze and said, "I heard that she has performed very well recently and has received several compliments."

She looks like a spy in this way.Gu Shi'an was a little amused, and motioned her to eat quickly.

Xiao Wang stuck out his tongue, and talked about other things.

Time flies quickly when you have something to do, and it's time to get off work in a blink of an eye.Gu Shi'an didn't go back immediately after work. He went to a nearby supermarket to buy a lot of things, and then took a taxi back.

She started cooking when she got home, but Chen Xiao probably had something to do and didn't come back.Gu Shi'an waited until after eleven o'clock before going back to his room to sleep.

Chen Xiao didn't know what he was busy with, so he started leaving early and returning late.Gu Shi'an didn't bother to ask, he made dinner at night and put it aside, got up early the next day, made breakfast and left the house.

She originally thought that Chen Xiao had already taken care of the old lady's will.But when I saw the newspaper one morning, I realized that Chen Xiao hadn't dealt with it.

It was probably caused by Chen Zhengkang, and the newspaper even talked about who would get the position of 'Mr. Chen'.He also wrote that Chen Xiao kept holding his will and did not publish it, not knowing what he was planning.

They had no choice but to use the power of public opinion to put pressure on Chen Xiao.

Gu Shi'an quickly read all the contents written in the newspaper. Originally, he wanted to call Assistant Sun to ask questions, but he still didn't call.

She thought it would be over soon.But I didn't expect that the matter of the will would be published in a larger newspaper the next day.

This time the so-called 'insider' made new revelations, saying that in the will, the one who holds the most shares in his hand is no longer Chen Xiao.The speculation this time is even more precise, just like someone who has seen the will.

Although they are under the same roof, Gu Shi'an hasn't seen Chen Xiao for several days.Only the dinner and breakfast that had been moved every day told her that he had been back.

This matter spread more and more fiercely every day. At first, she suspected that Chen Zhengkang's family was behind it, but now she became suspicious again.

With Chen Xiao's skills, if he hadn't allowed the situation to develop, the newspapers would never have publicized it.

Before she could come up with a reason, Mrs. Gu called.The grandfather and grandson exchanged a few words, and Gu Shi'an realized that the old lady also called because of the news in the newspaper.

She asked Gu Shian what was going on.

Gu Shi'an didn't know what was going on, he could only vaguely say that Chen Xiao was handling the matter, and he didn't tell her.

The old lady was a little puzzled, and asked her if she had quarreled with Chen Xiao.

She was always worried about them.

Gu Shi'an squeezed out a smile and said no.

But these words are a bit weak, if the two of them are well, it is impossible for her not to know everything.

The old lady Gu was silent on the other end of the phone for a while, and said: "Chen Xiao was brought up by the old lady herself. He is the saddest person when the old lady passed away. If he has done anything wrong during this period, don't worry about it." Complain with him. He is not easy, neither side will let him worry."

The two sides she mentioned naturally referred to Qi Shiyun and Chen Zhengkang.

Qi Shiyun went back to Qi's house after the old lady's funeral, and she had never appeared in this period of time.I don't know what to do.

As for Chen Zhengkang's family, they are closely watching the old lady's legacy.

At times like this, not only was there no one to comfort him.Instead, he kept stabbing his wound with a knife.

Gu Shi'an was silent for a moment, then forced a smile and said that she knew.And seriously, they didn't have any conflicts.

The old lady still had something to say, but she sighed and said nothing after all.He also asked Gu Shi'an to call her if he needed her help.After telling her to take care of herself, she hung up the phone.

The old lady just hung up the phone, and Chang'an called again.Cautiously asked if there was anything she could do for her.I probably called because I was worried after reading the newspaper.

Gu Shi'an said it was all right.

When she got off work, she hesitated for a moment, and instead of going home, she went to Chen Xiao's company.

She got off work early, and it was still dark by then.She called Assistant Sun downstairs.

Assistant Sun came down not long after, and said to her when he saw her, "Why didn't you call in advance when you came, Mr. Chen has already left."

Gu Shi'an didn't come here specifically to see Chen Xiao, he said it was fine.After a moment of silence, he asked, "What's going on in the newspaper...?"

Assistant Sun was by Chen Xiao's side, so he must have known about it.

Assistant Sun also probably guessed that she would ask, so he stammered and said, "Leave this matter alone, Mr. Chen said it, let them make trouble."

When he said this, he paused slightly, his face returned to normal, and he said, "You can trust Mr. Chen, he will handle it well."

His tone was very serious.

Gu Shi'an didn't speak for a while, and after a while, he asked, "What have you been up to, Mr. Chen?"

He has always left early and returned late during this time, if he hadn't dealt with the will, he would have been too busy.
