169 Threat
The two of them spoke, but no one in the living room spoke.

There was no expression on the old lady's face, she picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip of tea, said lightly: "Auntie has prepared the dishes you all like to eat since yesterday, let's eat first."

When she spoke like that, both of them were a little embarrassed.Instead, Gu Shian's aunt stood up and said she was going to help in the kitchen.Xu Jiarong also took advantage of this step to go down, and followed to help in the kitchen.

The old lady obviously didn't see anyone before, but now she suddenly called everyone over.Naturally, it will not be for no reason.

But no one knew what the old lady was going to say, but with the courteous Gu Chengde and his wife in front, no one mentioned anything, nor did they ask any more questions.After exchanging pleasantries, he asked about the old lady's body.

The old lady just took it with one sentence.

Gu Shi'an's aunts all went to the kitchen, and she naturally wanted to follow along to help.Everyone was obviously unhappy that she joined the Gu family, but I don't know if it was because of Chen Xiaozai or something else. Her aunts didn't show any signs of expression to her when they were alone, and they were the same as before. .

Gu Su watched her keep sneering, and after Xu Jiarong secretly pinched her, she reluctantly put away the sneer at the corner of her mouth.

Auntie was already preparing lunch when they came, and with everyone's help, the food was on the table in a short time.

Almost everyone was here today, and a large table was full.I don't know why the old lady asked everyone to come here. A group of people have their own thoughts.There is not much to eat.

After eating and drinking tea, Gu Chengde cleared his cough and said, "Mom, you will go back with us today. It's just... Xiao Su is getting engaged, if it's not for you, where would it be?"

The old lady didn't know if she had already heard the news of Gu Su's engagement or what, she was not surprised at all when she heard this, she glanced at Gu Chengde lightly, and said, "Just tell me when you're almost engaged, what can I do without you?" Is it not enough?"

Gu Chengde had a bit of embarrassment on his face, and said quickly: "I wanted to tell you some time ago, but I forgot it when there were too many things."

This is obviously very perfunctory.

The old lady picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said, "I'm already at this age, and you have long been the masters of the house. You can make decisions about your children's marriage by yourself."

Probably because he didn't expect the old lady to just expose the matter, Gu Chengde couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.Just as she was about to say something, the old lady said, "I called all of you here today because I have something to tell you."

There was no sound in the living room for a while, the old lady swept her gaze, and then she said: "The doctor told me to rest when I came over a while ago, and I will live here from now on, and I won't go back to the old house. You are all busy, Don't worry about me. If you have time in the future, just come over once at the end of the month."

No one thought that the old lady would say this, and they couldn't react for a while.It was Xu Jiarong who came to his senses first, and said, "Mom, you have lived in the old house all your life, how could you live here. After all, this place is not as convenient as the old house. How can you stay here? Besides, If you lived here alone, what would outsiders say about us? Would you say so, sister-in-law?"

As Xu Jiarong spoke, she looked at Gu Shian's aunt Cheng Xin.

In this matter, they are undoubtedly on the same line.

Cheng Xin nodded and said tactfully: "It's really not appropriate for you to be here alone. If you feel uncomfortable, there is no one to take care of you. You can go back with us this time. There has been no one here. It's not suitable for you to live here."

As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady said: "The doctor said to rest, this place is perfect." A little tiredness appeared between her brows, and she stopped everyone who was still talking, and said: "No need Besides, I've already decided."

Her tone was firm.Everyone looked at each other for a while.

Before everyone could speak again, the old lady went on to say: "I asked you to come, and there is one more thing. In the past, whether it was Gu Lan or your other marriages, they all came from the dowry gift prepared by me. It doesn't matter, it's unfair to those who are not married. I will treat everyone equally, and while you are all here, I will give you all the dowry gifts that are not married. Auntie, bring me the list I prepared. "

The old lady gave some instructions, and the aunt quickly brought over several orders.

The old lady handed two copies to Xu Jiarong and one to Gu Chengyun, and said, "It doesn't matter whether it's a grandson or a granddaughter, it's the same."

Her move made everyone puzzled, and no one spoke for a while.

The weddings of the married grandchildren are all organized by the old lady, and subsidy money is given to the unmarried. No one can fault this.

The huge living room was extremely quiet for a moment, but Gu Chengping spoke first, and said, "We have no objection if you want to live here, but you have to be taken care of by someone. Look, how about me and the second and third children taking turns to take care of you?" You? This way you are clean, and we can rest assured."

When he said that, Gu Chengde and Gu Chengyun quickly followed suit.

The old lady waved her hand and said: "No, I have a driver and an aunt here. I haven't reached the point where I can't move yet. No need to say any more, I have already decided. You have a lot of things to do, and I won't keep you anymore. carry on."

Now that she had made up her mind, there was nothing anyone could do about it, so they had to go back and discuss it.

Gu Shi'an originally wanted to stay, but the old lady said: "Shi'an, you go back too, grandma is a little tired today and wants to rest."

Those old ladies couldn't be more clear about their thoughts. If Gu Shi'an was left alone, they might think that they were giving her something good again.

Now that she has entered the Gu family, Gu Shi'an naturally knew that they were all staring at her, so he forced a smile and said yes, telling the old lady that she would come to see her another day.

The old lady suddenly announced that she would live here from now on and that she would no longer go back to the old house, which undoubtedly disturbed everyone.They probably wanted to go back to discuss countermeasures, and they all left almost immediately.

Gu Shi'an and Chen Xiao were the last to leave. She couldn't figure out what the old lady was thinking, and her heart was inexplicably heavy.

Chen Xiao glanced at her and said, "She knows what grandma is doing, so there's nothing to worry about. It's good for her to live here alone, at least half of her troubles will be reduced."

No, Gu Chengde's family is similar to vampires, they just want to take advantage of the old lady from time to time.Living here alone, Gu Su and Gu Qian have paid for their marriage expenses. Even if they want to come over, they have to think of an excuse first.

They used to live together, under the pretense of taking care of the old lady, and took any benefits from the old lady, so the other two families turned a blind eye.

Now the old lady doesn't need anyone to take care of her. If they come over often, the two families will definitely have opinions.

Gu Shi'an didn't say anything now.But the old lady felt uneasy when she suddenly made this decision, and she was so depressed that she didn't speak.Just sitting there lost in thought.

Gu Shi'an's heart was heavy that day, and he didn't even cook.After returning, he stayed in the bedroom.

The dinner was ordered by Chen Xiao. Seeing that Gu Shi'an was restless, he said, "If you're worried, call grandma later, she's still up right now."

Gu Shi'an didn't say a word, he went back to the bedroom to call the old lady after dinner and cleared the table.

As Chen Xiao said, the old lady was indeed still awake.The phone was picked up soon.

The old lady naturally knew that she was worried, and before she could ask anything, she said, "Don't worry, grandma is fine, and her health is also very good. I live here alone, but it is much cleaner. If you are worried, come here often Just stay with grandma."

After a slight pause, the old lady continued: "Grandma has spent most of her life worrying about it, and now she doesn't want to worry about anything."

There was a bit of fatigue in her tone, Gu Shi'an hesitated slightly, and asked, "Is it because Gu Su wants to get engaged..."

The old lady fell silent on the other end of the phone, and after a while, she said wearily: "Grandma can't control them, and she doesn't want to. They can do whatever they want."

The old lady didn't linger on this topic any longer, and asked Gu Shi'an about some trivial matters in life.

Gu Shi'an answered one by one, and the old lady told her not to worry again on the other end of the phone, and then hung up the phone.

Today's matter, knowing that the old lady did not mention it without any reason, Gu Shi'an was slightly relieved.

She stood with her mobile phone for a while before going to wash up.

Gu Shi'an went to work at the company on Monday, and when he reached the door, Gu Su stopped him.She probably also knew that it was not good to make a scene outside the company, so she said to Gu Shi'an with a cold face, "I have something to ask you."

She was gnashing her teeth.Obviously waiting here early is to stop her.

Gu Shi'an clearly understood her character, and she would never give up until she achieved her goal.She didn't say a word, and followed her to the side.

Gu Su couldn't wait, and when he arrived at a place with a little less people, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Did you instigate grandma not to go back to the old house?"

The old lady didn't go back to the old house, which had really damaged the interests of their family.No one thought that the old lady would not go back if she said she couldn't go back.

Even if Gu Shi'an said no, she would never believe it.She looked at the time and saw that she was about to be late, so she said flatly: "If you think so, I can't help it."

Gu Su clenched his teeth even tighter, and said, "You don't pretend to be innocent here, grandma always loves you the most, who knows if you fanned something in her ears. Let me tell you, no matter what you say, Whatever idea you have, you can never succeed!"

She looked distraught.It's just a matter of jumping.

During this period of time, it was probably due to being suppressed, she restrained a lot.This time it was probably in a hurry.

Gu Shi'an didn't want to get entangled with her, so he said with a half-smile: "In this case, why do you come to me?"

After she finished speaking, she ignored Gu Su and went directly to the company.

He felt that she had bewitched the old lady, and Gu Su was not the only one who kept the old lady from going back to the old house.But no one came to her except Gu Su.I don't know what to pay attention to.

Gu Shian's day was the same as before. In the morning, she went to the small building on the grounds of going to the bathroom, and found that the door there was ajar, and she didn't know if it was unlocked at night or whether it was locked at night or not. what.

She also went there when she was about to get off work in the afternoon. The door was probably open before it could be locked.

Chen Xiao probably has something to do, and Assistant Sun came to pick her up in the afternoon.She had just returned to the new house when her cell phone rang.It was the call from the person Qin Tang arranged in Gu's.

She looked and picked up the phone.

As soon as he was fed, the person on the other end of the phone said: "Miss Gu, I have sent an email to your mailbox. If you open the computer next to the computer and have a look. Today I went to the personnel department to transfer the previous incumbent The employee's file, the portrait you gave, is very similar to the portrait of the assistant next to your cousin Gu Qian. I have already taken a photo, you can compare it."

Since he said that, it must be the assistant next to Gu Qian.

It was probably because Gu Shi'an had already imagined it, but Gu Shi'an was not surprised.The person said that he was a former assistant, which means that this person is no longer in Gu's.

Gu Shi'an was silent for a while, and asked, "Where is that person now?"

The person over there said: "I heard that I opened a bar after I resigned some time ago. I have already sent the address to the mailbox. You can check it first and call me if you have anything to do."

Gu Shi'an agreed, thanked him, and quickly went to Chen Xiao's study, and turned on the computer.

She was anxious to read the email, and did not know when the password was set on Chen Xiao's computer until the computer was turned on.

She immediately entered Chen Xiao's birthday, but it was prompted that the password was wrong.She pursed her lips and entered the old lady's birthday again, but the password was still wrong.

Although she knew it was impossible, she paused and entered her birthday.The password was wrong as she expected.

She couldn't figure out what password Chen Xiao would set up, so she hesitated for a while, and then entered the wedding anniversary of the two of them.The computer is now turned on.

Gu Shi'an was taken aback for a while, and then logged into her own mailbox.

Sure enough, there was a new email lying in it, which was sent to her 5 minutes ago.

The email was very simple, just put a piece of information about the person, a photo, and the address of the person now.

There was probably something wrong with the description, the photo of that person was not quite the same as the one she drew, he was fatter.But judging from a single outline, they are similar.

She quickly printed out the photos she sent and wrote down the address.She didn't call Chang Ji right away, she planned to go and have a look first.

That person runs a bar, and it's time for business at night, so she just needs to pretend to be a guest, and as long as that person is there, she can see him.

But since the man kidnapped her, he must know her.She changed into an inconspicuous dress, put on her hat again, and went out.

That man's bar was on Xinjie, and Gu Shi'an took a taxi as soon as he went out.She is not familiar with this place, although the address is quite detailed, but there is no way to find it all at once.

She was about to ask someone to ask, when her cell phone rang.She took out her mobile phone. The call was from Chen Xiao. She didn't answer it and hung up directly.

Chen Xiao didn't stop there, and immediately called again.Gu Shi'an looked at the number that jumped on the phone, but still picked up the phone.

Chen Xiao didn't know where it was, so he asked, "Where are you?"

His tone was unusually stern.

Gu Shi'an didn't tell him, he was silent for a while, and said, "It's outside."

"Give me the address, stay still, and I'll come right away." As if he knew that Gu Shi'an would not listen to him, he paused slightly, and then said: "If you don't want to alarm the old lady, give the address immediately. Give it to me. If I don't see you when I come over, I'll call the old lady right away."

There was a hint of joking in his tone.

Gu Shi'an knew that he could do it, he tightened his grip on the phone, and finally let go, and gave him the address here.

Chen Xiao seemed to have started the car, saying that he would come over as soon as possible and let her find a place to sit and wait for her.

The neighborhood looks deserted, except for a food stall with a simple shed in the distance.She walked over now and asked for food.

The food stall is deserted, with only one table of guests.Gu Shi'an didn't eat anything, so he ordered fried rice noodles.

Although they looked at no one, the boss and his wife didn't stop at all, they were making ingredients.Probably the evening is the busy time.

Chen Xiao came over quickly, Gu Shi'an had just finished eating fried noodles when his car stopped by the side of the road.Then he opened the car door and walked towards her.

He didn't ask anything. He glanced at Gu Shi'an and said, "Where are you going? Let's go."

He has the trump card of the old lady in his hand, no matter what he asks Gu Shi'an, he will say it.But he didn't ask anything.

Now that he has come here, it is natural that this matter cannot be hidden from him.Gu Shi'an now showed him the address he wrote down.

Chen Xiao frowned slightly, looked around for a while, then took out his mobile phone and made a call.

He was asking for the specific address of the bar, and he didn't know who he was calling, so he hung up the phone after a while, and said to Gu Shi'an, "Let's go."

He was obviously conspicuous in this way, and after saying a word, he backed to the side of the car, took out a peaked cap from the car, and put it on.

He didn't look around like Gu Shi'an, but walked forward directly.

That bar is very inconspicuous, it is in the basement in a small alley.In such a remote place, I originally thought that there were not many guests, but who knew it was not.There were many people inside, and in the dim and ambiguous light, only the heads of people could be seen.

There was a deafening DJ playing in the bar, Chen Xiao looked around, and whispered in Gu Shian's ear: "Follow me later, don't wander around."

There was only one bartender at the bar, he looked at it, walked over, and ordered two glasses of wine.Pushed a cup to Gu Shi'an.

Gu Shi'an held the wine, but didn't drink much, pretending to look around casually.That person probably didn't come, and he didn't see the figure.

Chen Xiao acted as if he was really here to have fun. After drinking a glass of wine, he asked the bartender for another glass, and then started to chat.

While talking, he praised the decoration of this bar, and praised the owner of this shop for his good taste.

The bartender smiled and said that it was the first time a guest boasted so much, and the boss would be very happy to hear it.

Now Chen Xiao asked the boss if he was here, and he looked around after speaking.

The bar now said that the boss hadn't come yet. He didn't come every day, but if he did, he would usually come around eleven o'clock.

It's only nine o'clock now, and I have to wait two hours until eleven o'clock.

Chen Xiao nodded, sat at the bar for a while, and led Gu Shian into the crowd.

He quickly found an inconspicuous place where he could see the situation over the bar and sat down.

At the bar, he drank very refreshingly, but now he didn't drink much, playing with the glass in his hand.

The surrounding music is loud, and you have to speak loudly to hear it.A mess.

The waiting time was long. I don't know if the fried noodles were not clean or what. After sitting for a long time, Gu Shi'an's stomach started to hurt.

The pain was severe, she pressed her stomach for a while, stood up, and said to Chen Xiao, "I'm going to the bathroom."

As soon as she stood up, Chen Xiao also stood up.Where did she need someone to follow her when she went to the bathroom, she hurriedly said, "I'll just go by myself, and I'll come back here to find you later."

Chen Xiao didn't know if he heard it, so he took the lead and walked towards the bathroom.

Walking into the corridor, the deafening music finally became quieter.The pain in the stomach was even worse, Gu Shi'an almost jogged to the bathroom.

It was still so far away from the bathroom, so Chen Xiao grabbed her and said, "I'll wait for you right here, call me if you need anything."

Gu Shi'an nodded hastily, and hurried to the bathroom.

There were people in the bathroom, and two girls were standing together smoking a cigarette.Seeing someone go in, he just raised his eyelids, and then started talking.

The two of them didn't know where they were from, and they spoke a dialect that Gu Shi'an couldn't understand.Her stomach hurt badly, but she didn't pay attention.

As expected, she ate badly and stayed in the bathroom for about ten minutes. She didn't go out until the pain in her stomach subsided.

The two girls were still there, and they didn't even look at Gu Shi'an this time.Gu Shi'an went to the side to wash his hands, looked up and saw the two people in the mirror, he was shocked.

The expressions on the faces of the two were joyful, but the pupils were slack.She didn't look carefully just now, but now when she looked in the mirror, she realized that the faces of both of them were abnormally white.Where is the smoking.

He actually smoked this thing in the bathroom openly and aboveboard, and it seemed that this was not the first time.

Gu Shi'an tried his best to keep himself calm, rushed his hand without looking sideways, and then walked out.
