Chapter 137

There was a smile on his face, and the old lady couldn't see anything wrong.

But since the young couple have already met, no matter what, they should get along alone.Even though Chen Xiao had said no, she still asked Gu Shi'an to send him off.

Gu Shi'an was afraid that the old man would think too much, so he stood up and sent Chen Xiao out.

There was no one around the villa, and the huge yard was empty.Only the cool lights remained.

When Gu Shi'an stood up and looked up at the sky, he realized that there was actually a moon in the sky.Hanging brightly in the sky.

After going out, Chen Xiao didn't say a word, he walked directly to the parking place, opened the car door and got in.Soon the car started.

Gu Shi'an also had nothing to say. He originally wanted to leave immediately, but he didn't go back because he was afraid that the old lady would worry.

It wasn't until the car drove out of the yard that she turned around and went back into the house.

The old lady was making the bed for Gu Shi'an on behalf of her aunt, and when she saw her go in, she asked her to help her, and then asked with a smile, "Chen Xiao is gone?"

Gu Shi'an nodded and replied, "Let's go."

The old lady looked at her kindly and said, "Don't blame her for grandma's coming here. I told him not to tell you. I'll just stay here for a few days before going back."

He was afraid that there would be a gap between the two of them.

Gu Shi'an just smiled and shook his head.She paused for a while, and then asked: "Why do you suddenly think of living here? Is it..."

She looked at the old lady with worry in her tone.

The old lady patted her hand gently, and said with a kind smile: "Don't think about it, grandma just wants to be clean. I'll be back in a few days."

Gu Shi'an knew that things were not that simple, but he knew that if the old lady didn't intend to tell her, she wouldn't be able to find out if she asked.Just nodded.

She was afraid that the news that she had resigned would reach the ears of the old lady, so she hesitated for a while, and then said about her resignation.He also talked about Chang's plan to open a store.

I thought the old lady was going to say something, but the old lady didn't say anything.Look at her kindly and let her do whatever she wants.Call her if you need help.

She wasn't surprised, but Gu Shi'an wondered if Chen Xiao had told her.This thought was just a flash.She nodded and said yes with a smile.

The old lady's work and rest time is relatively fixed, and she goes to rest after nine o'clock.Gu Shi'an couldn't fall asleep, and when he got out of the shower, he saw that his aunt was still asleep, so he knocked on the one on the left and asked why the old lady came here.

The auntie looked at the old lady's room, but she didn't hide it from Gu Shi'an, and told the old lady about Gu Chengde's crying poor, asking the old lady for Gu Qian and Gu Su's marriage expenses.

When the grandchildren get married, the old lady should be subsidized.But Gu Chengde said that he was going to get married, but the old lady had never even met their marriage partner.

After asking, her second aunt hesitated and said that although she doesn't pick up now, she will get married in the future.After taking this money, they will only save it.

This is clearly an excuse to ask the old lady for money.The old lady didn't answer or shouldn't.Who knew that the two of them would cry in front of the old lady every now and then that they were poor, the company was in a downturn, and the stock market was too deep. They used all the excuses.There is no time for cleanliness.The old lady simply moved out.

It's not surprising that Gu Shi'an didn't speak.The old lady is getting old, and it will be a matter of time before she makes a will.

It was unnaturally normal for the family to want to get more from the old lady before the will was made.

Otherwise, they have been guarding the old house for so many years.

For these things, Gu Shi'an was powerless.She remained silent.He didn't go back to the room, he opened the door and went to the yard outside.

The moonlight outside was cold and filled every corner of the yard.She sat down on the stone ladder beside her, and looked up at the moon in the sky in a daze.

She hated herself for being helpless, and she couldn't even help the old lady share even a little bit.

She sat outside for a long time, until her body became cold from the cold, and then she returned to the house.

The old lady is here alone, so she naturally wants to stay with the old lady.After only staying for two days, the old lady urged her to go back and do her work.Leave her alone.

Her mentality is quite good. Every day, she arranges flowers and plants in the backyard, and then plants some seasonal vegetables, and this time of the day is spent.

Although she said she would go back after staying for a few days, in fact she didn't mention going back.Although she is deserted here, Gu Shi'an is much more at ease than in the old house.

She hesitated for a moment and said that she would come over on the weekend.

The old lady agreed with a smile, and asked the aunt to take the dim sum and the prepared braised pork and other dishes, and asked Gu Shi'an to take them back, saying that Chen Xiao praised the delicious braised pork made by the aunt last time.

Gu Shi'an originally wanted to say no, but seeing the old lady's smiling face, he finally didn't refuse and took the things over.

It was already evening when she went back, and she had already taken her things, so she didn't intend to send them to Chen Xiao.I was afraid that the old lady would ask.

She didn't want to call Chen Xiao, so she called Assistant Sun directly and asked if he was in the company.Her luck was pretty good, and Assistant Sun over there replied yes.

Gu Shi'an simply said that she was downstairs in their company and asked him to come down and bring something to Chen Xiao.

Assistant Sun complied and told Gu Shi'an to wait a moment, he will come down immediately.

Gu Shi'an agreed.

She originally thought that Assistant Sun would come down soon.But it didn't. After 5 minutes, he was still not seen at the door.

Gu Shian looked down at the time.Stand aside and wait.

It took more than ten minutes for the people above to come down, but it was not Assistant Sun, but Chen Xiao.There was no expression on his face, and he asked coldly when he opened his mouth, "What's the matter?"

Gu Shian didn't expect him to be the one who came down, so he quickly came back to his senses, and gave him the insulation box and another cardboard box in his hand, and said, "Grandma asked me to bring this to you. This is braised pork, There are snacks over there."

Hearing that it was something the old lady asked to bring, Chen Xiao took the bag without saying a word.

He didn't say a word of nonsense, as if Gu Shi'an just came here to run errands, he took the things and turned back to the company.

Gu Shian heaved a sigh of relief when he looked like this, turned around and walked towards the bus station.

After staying with the old lady for two days, she started to decorate the store as soon as she came back.Running around every day, she enjoys it very much.It was so small that there were potted plants in the store, all of which she picked out by herself.

Chang Yan has resigned from the store, and the two of them are busy in and out every day, which is very fulfilling.

Although Chang Ji resigned, Qi Hantong often came to the store to point out the deficiencies.And start to formulate the menu together with Chang.

Time passed quickly, during this period, Gu Shian went to the old lady's side a few times.The old lady's spirit is quite good, and she doesn't mention the matter of coming back.

Gu Shi'an didn't mention it, and told the old lady about the progress of the renovation.And said that when it opened, let the old lady taste Chang's craftsmanship.

The old lady agreed with a smile, and asked her if she had enough money.Gu Shi'an just nodded and said enough.

After the renovation of the store, they didn't have much money left in their hands, and the store must have been deserted at first.The two discussed it and only planned to invite one more person.

Often in the kitchen, together with Gu Shi'an and the people he invited, it is enough to handle it.

She always reported the good news but not the bad news to the old lady, so naturally she would not tell her about it.

The opening of the business is cumbersome, so the old lady told her to leave her alone and come to see her after a busy period of time.

The opening is coming soon, because it is a new store, a few days in advance, she and Chang Yan started to launch leaflets nearby, and all guests on the opening day will get a [-]% discount.

On the day of the opening, Gu Shi'an and Chang Yan got up early to prepare. Although Chang Yan was confident in his craftsmanship, it was his first time opening a store, so he was somewhat nervous.

There are no guests in the morning, and the first table of guests is not available until noon.The guests at this table were regular customers, and it was Qi Hantong who brought people over to join him.

With Qi Hantong opening, another table of guests came later.

The leaflets of the two were distributed better, but it didn't have any effect.Usually a little discouraged.

Gu Shi'an cheered her up, saying that most office workers just eat casually at noon.Maybe someone will come tonight.

Chang Li cheered up now, and went to prepare the ingredients for the afternoon.

In the evening, as Gu Shian said, there were indeed more people.Although they came one after another, Gu Shi'an and another clerk were still too busy to walk.

Chang'an had strict requirements on the ingredients, and he was unwilling to make do with them. When it was around nine o'clock, the prepared ingredients were almost used up, so he asked Gu Shi'an to go out with a full sign.

Gu Shi'an is a complete novice in catering, and his nerves are always tense.She was relieved when the dishes for the guests at the tables she greeted were all served.Her feet were already sore from running, she sat down in the lounge at the back, and let out a soft breath.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and rest for a few minutes, another clerk, Xiao Wu, trotted over.It is said that the No. [-] box upstairs sent a few bottles of wine up.

He said and hurried away with the tray.Gu Shi'an took a deep breath, forced himself to pull himself together, then took the wine and went upstairs.

Because she is a novice, Xiao Wu has been taking care of the private room all the time.She took the wine to the door of the private room, knocked on the door, and opened the door until the inside said to come in.

When she entered, she was about to say hello politely, when she saw Chen Xiao sitting at the head.He should be the one who was invited, and the people below tried their best to toast him.

Gu Shi'an never expected such a coincidence, so he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Her reaction seemed slow to others. The wine on the table had already been poured, and the people at the wine table yelled at her to serve the wine quickly.

Only then did Gu Shian come back to his senses, and put the wine on the wine table.

Chen Xiao who was sitting at the top didn't know if he noticed her, nor did he glance at her from the corner of his eyes.He took the wine toasted by others and drank it.

He didn't have a long memory at all, and he started drinking again not long after he was hospitalized with stomach bleeding.

Gu Shi'an wanted to remind him aloud, but there was no one he knew in the room.Her rash utterance was undoubtedly abrupt, so she had no choice but to back out.

When she was outside the door, she immediately took out her mobile phone and called Assistant Sun.Assistant Sun didn't know what he was doing, and the phone couldn't be connected.

After a little hesitation, she dialed Chen Xiao's number.Chen Xiao was inside, logically he would answer the phone soon.But no, no one answered his phone for a long time.

Gu Shi'an dialed again, but this time he was cut off directly.She looked at her phone, but after all, she didn't dial a third time and went downstairs.

He was an adult, she couldn't help him if he didn't answer the phone, she made up her mind to ignore this kind of nosy business.But thinking about what the doctor said, after all, he couldn't watch him not take his body seriously.

When she went back to the private room, Chen Xiao might not pay her any attention. After standing there for a while, she asked Xiao Wu to go to the private room and told Chen Xiao that someone was looking for him outside.

Xiao Wu was puzzled, but still didn't ask any questions, and went upstairs quickly.

Xiao Wu came downstairs not long after, and there was no Chen Xiao behind him.Gu Shi'an looked at him now.

Xiao Wu said now: "I called that Mr. Chen, but they are drinking... so I can only come out first."

She had already made two phone calls, and when Xiao Wu went up again, Chen Ying should have guessed that it was her who called.Since he didn't come out, he obviously didn't want to talk to her.

Gu Shi'an had already done what he should do, so he simply ignored it and continued to get busy.

The people in the store left after eleven o'clock, and the three of them cleaned up the store together.Chang Yan asked Xiao Wu Gu Shi'an to get off work first.

In the morning, she had to go shopping for groceries, and Chang Ji didn't plan to go back, but planned to spend the night in the store, and asked Gu Shi'an to bring her a change of clothes when she went back.

Tired enough this day, Gu Shi'an looked around and saw that there was nothing to clean up.Just nod your head.

She was going to go out with Xiao Wu, but when she got to the door, she remembered that she didn't have her mobile phone in the lounge, so she let Xiao Wu go first, and she hurried back to get her mobile phone.

He took his mobile phone and closed the store door to go out. Not far away, he saw a person vomiting beside the trash can.Take the coat you're wearing, it's not who Chen Xiao is.

He was still high-spirited at the wine table just now, but now he has been drunk three times and no one sent him back.

Gu Shi'an originally didn't intend to take care of it, but after walking a few steps, he fell back again.I bought a bottle of water and a pack of tissues at a nearby convenience store, and took them to the trash can.

At this moment, Chen Xiao had almost vomited, and when he straightened up, Gu Shi'an took out a tissue and handed it to him.

Probably because of the alcohol, Chen Xiao's reaction was a little slow, and after dozens of seconds, he raised his head and looked at her.

Gu Shi'an originally thought that he was going to take the tissue, but who knew he didn't.He slapped her hand away and said coldly, "Mind your own business."

After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at Gu Shi'an, and staggered forward.Only then did Gu Shi'an notice that his car was parked in front.

He was so drunk that he even planned to drive.

After being choked coldly by him, Gu Shi'an held his breath in his chest.I closed my eyes and said silently over and over again in my heart not to care about the drunkard, and then opened my eyes.She couldn't just watch him drive like that, so she took out her mobile phone and called Assistant Sun.

But Assistant Sun's mobile phone is still the same as before, and it can't be connected.

Chen Xiao in front had already walked to the side of the car crookedly, and was about to open the driver's door.Gu Shi'an had no choice but to throw the phone back into the bag, and followed quickly.

Chen Xiao had already opened the door, she reached out her hand to stop him, and said, "I've already called a driver."

Chen Xiao looked at her coldly, pursed her thin lips tightly, and said, "Get out of the way."

He drank too much, and as soon as he said this, he vomited immediately.

He didn't have time to run to the trash can this time, so he threw up on the side of the road.The contents of his stomach have been almost vomited, and he can't vomit anything now.

He retched a few times and sat on the ground directly, regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not.

He probably knew that he couldn't drive like this, so he stopped yelling to drive, closed his eyes and leaned against the electric pole on the side of the road.

What Gu Shi'an said just now about calling a substitute driver was just a lie to him.She originally wanted to ask Chen Xiao's driver's phone number, but he might not be able to tell, so she called the driver instead.

It takes time for the driver to come over. She looked at the time, then at Chen Xiao who was sitting on the ground, took a step forward, and said, "Go and sit in the car while the wind is blowing."

Chen Xiao closed his eyes. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids and glanced at her, then closed his eyes again.

Gu Shi'an looked at the time again, it was already twelve o'clock.But with Chen Xiao like this, she couldn't leave until the substitute driver came.

She just stood there, looking across the road.

Standing and standing, she didn't know why she remembered that time at the construction site.The moment when the brick fell, Chen Xiao protected her.

She was slightly lost for a moment.The quarrels broke into her mind suddenly, and she closed her eyes tightly.

The surrogate driver didn't come too fast, it took 10 minutes to catch up.Gu Shian told him the address and floor, please send him upstairs.Chen Xiao couldn't pay the money like this, she paid the money, and then signaled the driver to get Chen Xiao into the car.

Now it's nothing to do with her, and she doesn't care about those two anymore, and goes to the fork ahead to stop the car.

Luckily for her, a taxi stopped just after passing by.She got into the car, closed her eyes and didn't look back.

She was very tired that day, and her calves and feet hurt badly.She wanted to fall directly on the bed and sleep on him until the sky was dark.In the end, I still managed to take the shower.

When she collapsed on the bed, she couldn't fall asleep even more.His calf was throbbing with pain like a cramp.She couldn't fall asleep after sleeping for a while, so she got up again and took a painkiller.

She was very tired, and when the painkillers took effect, she fell asleep in a daze.

Although she slept late at night, she had to go to the store early to prepare, and she got up at seven o'clock.He took the clothes that Chang'an left here, then yawned and went out the door.

When she arrived at the store, she often went to the market and hadn't come back. She couldn't find anything to do, so she dozed off.

Not long after this sleepiness, the phone rang.She woke up suddenly, and picked up the phone without looking at it.

As soon as he was fed, Chen Xiao on the other end of the phone asked in a calm tone: "Have you seen my wallet?"

Gu Shi'an was still a little dazed in his mind, and didn't react for a while.After he reacted, he asked, "Did it fall in the store?"

Chen Xiao obviously didn't know where he fell.Gu Shi'an obviously didn't see him asking that question, so he didn't talk nonsense and hung up the phone directly.

Gu Shi'an didn't bother, he rubbed his swollen eyebrows, and then went upstairs to see if there was anything left in the private room.

The private room was cleaned last night, so the chances of things falling down are small.She searched every corner this time, and even went to the bathroom, but she never saw Chen Xiao's wallet.

When he found her, he didn't call him, but directly sent a text message, telling him that there was no one in the store.

Chen Xiao didn't know if he didn't see it or what, but he didn't reply.

Gu Shi'an didn't care about it anymore, and when Changqian came back from shopping, she went to get busy.

Last night, colleagues from a nearby company came to eat and thought it was not bad. At noon, there were more people than yesterday, and there were five tables of guests.Three of the tables are office workers nearby, dressed in business attire.

There is an office building nearby, and if there is something delicious nearby, it will spread the fastest in the office.Gu Shi'an gave each of them a sweet soup after the meal.

There are even more people in the evening, but because the opening does not know how many guests there are, the ingredients are prepared similar to yesterday, and I didn't dare to prepare more.It was still at nine o'clock that the full house sign was displayed.

In the end, the guests who didn't eat were given small snacks.

Gu Shi'an was still busy, and he was slightly relieved when most of the guests left after ten o'clock.

She originally wanted to take advantage of this gap to make a rough calculation of the account, but before the calculation started, Xiao Wu came over and said, "Sister Gu, you go upstairs. There is a guest who wants to see you. Came here early."

Gu Shi'an was puzzled and looked at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu said now: "The one who came here last night, you go up quickly, I will watch for you."

There were so many guests last night, how could Gu Shi'an know which one it was.When he went upstairs and opened the door, he realized that the guest Xiao Wu mentioned was Chen Xiao.

Gu Shi'an didn't know why he was looking for him, so he didn't go in, and asked at the door: "What's the matter?"

Chen Xiao immediately picked up the coat that was put aside, and said, "Where did I go last night, show me again."

Only then did Gu Shi'an remember what he said about the missing wallet, glanced at him, and asked, "Have you found it yet?"

Chen Xiao didn't speak, just took his coat and walked outside, downstairs.

He was so drunk yesterday, he probably just walked from the store to the trash can, and didn't go anywhere else.

But there are people coming and going outside, if it really fell outside, it is almost impossible to find it if you look for it at this time.
