Confess to you, do you want to listen?

Chapter 225 Always Come Back
At the elevator entrance, Chen Xiao had already carried a lot of things in one hand, and the other hand was weakly supporting Li Ran's waist.Very intimate.

At this moment, Gu Shi'an suddenly thought of Assistant Sun's words that he was on a business trip.It turned out that he was just perfunctory her.Her footsteps stopped unconsciously.

Chen Xiao also saw them, but he acted nonchalantly.He just withdrew the hand that was on Li Ran's waist.

He and Li Ran soon walked over together, Li Ran seemed to have not noticed anything wrong, and greeted softly: "Shi'an, you are also shopping here, it's a coincidence."

Gu Shi'an didn't even look at her, and said to Chang Xie, "Wait for me here."

After she finished speaking, she took a step forward, looked at Chen Xiao, and said, "Take a step to speak."

Chen Xiao raised his wrist to look at the time, and said, "Wait a moment." His tone was businesslike.After finishing speaking, he said tenderly to Li Ran: "Go inside and rest for a while, and I will accompany you for a stroll when I come back."

He was considerate, handed the things to the waiter in the coffee shop, and then said to Gu Shi'an: "Let's go."

He is familiar with this side, so he walked forward first.

He did all of this like a cloud and flowing water, without any sloppiness.Li Ran wanted to follow, but was stopped by Chang Xie.

Chen Xiao was familiar with this place, knowing that it was inconvenient to talk because there were too many people here, so he took Gu Shi'an up to the rooftop.

It's quiet on the roof, and the wind is a bit strong.It messed up Gu Shian's hair.

When Chen Xiao arrived at the place, he stopped in his tracks, took out a cigarette and lit it, and said lightly, "I still have something to do, so let's talk about it here."

His tone was indifferent.As polite as if the two were strangers.

Gu Shi'an looked at him with a pair of dark eyes, and asked hoarsely, "Why?"

Why is this sentence light and fluttering, as if it will be scattered in the wind at any time.

Chen Xiao looked cynical, exhaled smoke, and asked, "What are you referring to?"

He obviously knew it, and he was pretending to be stupid.

Gu Shi'an's eyes fell directly on him, his lips moved, and he said, "There are all of them."

Chen Xiaona took her back from her sight, leaned lazily aside, and said: "If it refers to dealing with your scum uncles, then you really don't have to think about it. Husband and wife a day, a hundred days of kindness, at least We have also been married for several years. No matter how bastard I am, Chen Xiao, it is impossible for me to watch the woman I used to be bullied by others." He paused slightly, and said casually: "Also, the old lady is leaving I told her before. I promised her."

The previous ones are all nonsense, only the latter sentence is the most critical.Gu Shi'an could hardly control himself and took a step back.

Her face was pale, but she looked at Chen Xiao stubbornly and said, "What else?"

Her eyes were dark, with some self-mockery and sadness.

Chen Xiao looked at her, suddenly let out a low laugh, and said, "You said something else, do you mean going to bed?"

He didn't shy away from it at all, he was aggressive.

Gu Shi'an didn't say anything, it was a tacit agreement.

Chen Xiao leaned back lazily, and said with a half-smile: "Gu Shi'an, we are all grown men and women, and this kind of thing has always been between you and me. You don't think that after going to bed a few times Are you responsible for it?"

This question made Gu Shi'an speechless.

Chen Xiao made a quick decision. After speaking, he raised his wrist to look at the time, and said, "Is there anything else to ask? If not, I'll leave first."

Even though he asked that question, he didn't stop, and walked directly downstairs past Gu Shi'an.

Gu Shi'an stood there stiffly, without moving for a long time.She didn't turn around until she heard footsteps coming up again.

It was not Chen Xiao who came up, but Chang Yan.There was no expression on her face, she was silent for a while, and asked, "Are you all right?"

Gu Shi'an managed to squeeze out a smile, shook his head, and said he was fine.Then he said, "Let's go, keep going."

She said and walked down.

He often wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.For the next time, Gu Shi'an tried his best to cheer up and stay with Chang Xie.Picked up gifts for the clerk in the store.

Her face was pale, and even when asked to sit down and rest for a while, she refused.It wasn't until they bought piles of things that the two walked out of the mall.

It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was full of darkness, as if there would be a snowstorm at any time.

Chang was a little worried, looked at the time, and said, "Find a place to eat before going back."

Gu Shi'an shook his head and said no on the grounds that the store would be very busy in the afternoon.

Chang wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.Watching Gu Shi'an go forward to stop the car.

There was a traffic jam, and when I returned to the store, the store was already busy.Chang Li put down his things and went to help in the kitchen, while Gu Shi'an was outside to help with the cash register.

Time is much faster when you have something to do.It was past ten o'clock in a flash.Because of the snow, the customers in the shop left early.The store closed before eleven o'clock.

The clerk left earlier, with Gu Shi'an and Chang Xi behind.Tomorrow morning, I have to go to the seafood market to pick up the ordered goods. I usually rest here if I don’t go back at night.

Worried that it would be difficult to take a taxi when it snowed, she quickly sent Gu Shi'an to hold the taxi.Gu Shi'an can't see anything now, except his face is a little pale.

She wanted to ask if she was okay, but she couldn't ask in the end.On the contrary, Gu Shi'an tightened his coat, paused slightly, and said, "I'll trouble you to inquire over there."

The side she mentioned naturally refers to the side of Chen Xiao's company.

Chang Yi said hello, and said that he had already called, and there should be news soon.Then he said, "Shi'an, don't be so polite with me."

Gu Shi'an squeezed out a smile and said hello.Then he said: "It's cold, you can go back, I can go back by myself when the car comes."

Chang Yan shook his head, stood with her and waited for the car to arrive, watched her get into the car, and then went back to the shop.

Gu Shi'an closed his eyes and fell asleep when he got in the car. He was so busy just now that he didn't have time to think about anything.After resting now, Chen Xiao's words on the rooftop pierced into his mind every word.

The pain in her chest was severe. She opened her eyes and looked out the window blankly.It was snowing outside the window at this moment, and a few thin snowflakes brushed past the window.

It was already late when she got home, and she sent a message to Chang Li to report that she was safe, and she went to the bathroom to take a shower.Then he just stood under the hot water for a long time without moving.

Gu Lan was the last to get the news. On the third day after Gu Chengde surrendered himself, she came here early in the morning.

Her face was frozen white, and she came in a hurry.The shoes she had put on indiscriminately were also wet.

Seeing Gu Shi'an, the first thing she said was: "They said that the fourth uncle's car accident..."

She couldn't imagine Gu Shi'an's grief and pain, and couldn't say anything more.

Because there are many things to learn, her work is busy.Work overtime to learn those things that she has forgotten.She didn't know until she got off work late at night and heard some gossip from her colleagues.

She planned to come over last night, but she came here early in the morning thinking that Gu Shi'an must be asleep at that time.

Gu Shi'an poured her a cup of hot tea, but finally nodded silently.

Gu Lan's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and the water in the teacup poured out.sprinkled on her.As if she hadn't noticed it, she asked with some effort: "My father and third uncle, did they really know..."

Before coming, she was deceiving herself, thinking that everything could not be true.At this moment, she realized that everything was as rumored.

She has always felt that the altruistic father, although not involved, is completely accomplices.

Gu Lan's lips trembled even more, and he said with great effort: "Shi'an, I'm sorry."

Although she knew that this sentence of sorry was also useless.She can neither share the pain of losing her father for her, nor can she bring the fourth uncle back to life.

Gu Shi'an shook his head and said, "Sister, don't blame yourself. It has nothing to do with you."

Gu Lan's character habitually burdens herself with too much.I'm afraid that from now on, she will feel guilty when facing her.

Gu Lan shook her head vigorously, her throat seemed to be choked up, and she couldn't say a word of comfort.Her body gradually warmed up in the room, but she still felt cold through her heart.

She never thought that such a thing would happen in the Gu family.It never occurred to her that her father was completely accomplices.

She couldn't even imagine how painful it would be for Gu Shi'an to learn about it.No one would have imagined that his uncle, his blood brother who was related to his father, would actually be the murderer who murdered his father.

Hurrying over early, Gu Lan has to go to work.Gu Shi'an took clothes and shoes for her to change, but she refused to change them. After saying sorry again and again, she hurriedly left with red eyes.

Gu Shi'an was worried about her, but she refused to send her downstairs.He reluctantly smiled and said that he was fine, and let Gu Shi'an take a good rest.

Gu Shi'an couldn't resist her, so he could only watch her leave.Gu Lan's back quickly disappeared into the corridor, the cold air entered the room, Gu Shi'an shivered, stood for a while, and then closed the door.

Back in the house, she took her mobile phone and edited a long text message and sent it to Gu Lan before going to wash and change clothes.

After returning from the villa that day, she called there every day. Although she learned from her aunt that the old lady was fine as usual, she was still worried.

Gu Shi'an called his aunt when he was leaving the house, and asked if there was anything he needed to bring.The snow is not falling heavily now, but if it snows heavily, the mountain road will be closed and it will be difficult to make a trip.So get everything ready in advance.

All the aunts she could think of had already thought of it, saying that she didn't need to bring anything, the driver was already going down the mountain to do some shopping.Just let her go right there.There are not many people in the villa, and they can eat for a week with just one purchase.And the old lady also planted some vegetables, even if she couldn't go down the mountain, she could last for a while.

Even though she said that, Gu Shi'an still went to buy the old lady's favorite snacks and some fresh fruits, and then went there.

The car drove slowly when it was snowing, and it took almost three hours to arrive.So it was already noon.The aunt did not tell the old lady that she would come, and the old lady had already gone back to her room to rest.

When Gu Shi'an put down his things, he realized that something was wrong in the living room, and it had been changed.A shrine is added in the center, where Buddha statues are enshrined.Incense is offered in front of the Buddha statue.

She was slightly taken aback, and then asked, "Did grandma ask you to change it?"

The auntie glanced over there, and said in a low voice: "The old lady has started to be a vegetarian. She said that she would believe in Buddhism and be a vegetarian for the rest of her life. I wanted to tell you, but she didn't allow it."

Gu Shi'an was dumbfounded, and the aunt continued: "The old lady said that she must have committed some evil in her previous life, and this will happen in this life. So from now on, I have to eat fast and chant Buddha."

Gu Shi'an's lips moved, and when he wanted to say something, the aunt said again in a low voice: "Don't persuade the old lady, it will make her feel better."

Gu Shi'an fell silent, but finally nodded.If it makes the old lady feel better, so be it.

What worries her is that her age is already too old.I am completely vegetarian, and I don't know if my body can bear it.

Before she could express her worries, the aunt seemed to know what she was thinking, and said, "Don't worry, I asked the doctor. The doctor said that as long as the nutrition can keep up, it's okay to be a vegetarian. I asked The doctor asked for the recipe, and I will cook more nutritious things according to the recipe in the future."

Auntie is thoughtful, Gu Shian said thank you in a low voice.

It was past two o'clock in the afternoon when the old lady woke up, and she hadn't recovered.Going through this incident is even more old.Seeing Gu Shi'an's rarely smiling face, he smiled kindly.

She refused to mention her vegetarianism, and told her aunt to cook more dishes that Gu Shian liked to eat.Gu Shi'an also pretended not to know, and specially reported the names of a few dishes.

It was snowing outside, but it was warm inside the villa.The grandfather and grandson sat with nothing to do, so Gu Shi'an found out a chess game and played with the old lady.

The old lady's memory is not as good as before, and her reaction is much slower.After trying it for a long time, I didn't see where I should go with a move.Occasionally one step is followed by another.

This is something that has never happened before.Gu Shi'an was worried in his heart, and asked the aunt and old lady how her recent memory was while she was going to pour water.

The aunt also said that her memory is much worse, and the doctor will come from time to time these days.She told the doctor, who said it was normal.As people age slowly, the nerves in the body will also age slowly.And the old lady has been stimulated, as long as she rests well.

Gu Shi'an stood still for a long time, until the old lady outside called her, and then she answered, and went out with water.

The old lady's spirit was not as good as before, and her face showed tiredness as soon as it got dark.Gu Shi'an coaxed her to sleep.

She didn't sleep well either, and her brows were always frowning after she fell asleep lightly.Gu Shi'an didn't leave the room until she had slept soundly.

When she went upstairs, she realized that there was a missed call on her mobile phone.She stood by the window and dialed the phone back.

Chang Li didn't know where it was, it was quiet over there, and he quickly answered the phone.

Gu Shi'an said that he was with the old lady, and the old lady had just fallen asleep.

Chang Yu on the other side of the phone nodded, fell silent for a while, and said, "You let the inquiring news inquire."

What she said was naturally about Chen Xiao's company.

Gu Shian hummed lightly.Chang Wei paused slightly, and then said: "Chen Xiao seems to have some difficulties in the company. I heard that his half-brother won the support of the majority of the board of directors in a short period of time. It is said that his current position may not be able to be preserved."

"Although the Chen family has developed well in recent years, it is said that he has already caused dissatisfaction with the board of directors. Because...he hardly takes the board of directors seriously. Once a decision is made, even if the board of directors disagrees, he will do it go down."

Chang's voice was low, he paused at this point, and continued: "The most important thing is that there are rumors that he has something to do with the underworld. He used the Chen family to do illegal things before. It is said that There's already ample evidence for that."

After Chang'an finished speaking, he fell silent.

It was just some short and simple words, but Gu Shian's hand holding the phone was already sweating a little.She knew that if it was true as what she usually heard, Chen Xiao's situation would not only be bad.It's just gone bad.

And these, he did not disclose at all.

Gu Shi'an's throat was dry, and he couldn't speak for a while.She quickly grasped the point, and asked in a low voice: "How did Chen Xun win the support of the board of directors in such a short period of time?"

No matter what Chen Xiao did in the past, at least the current Chen family is thriving.People on the board will not be unclear.

And what kind of person Chen Zhengkang is, they will not be unclear.As for Chen Xun, before that, he was also in the business circle.But nothing came of it.People on the board of directors will naturally inquire about these.

What ability does he have to make the members of the board of directors turn against each other in a short period of time?

Chang Li on the other end of the phone pondered for a while, and said, "I'm not sure about the details. It's not easy to inquire about these things. I'll ask someone to inquire again."

That's right, how to make the board of directors turn against each other is Chen Xun's hole card, and it is so easy to inquire about it.

Chang He hesitated for a while after finishing speaking, and then said: "I suspect that he should have colluded with Xiao Si. Although he did a good job, I heard that he often met Xiao Si in a club for a period of time. "

With Chen Xun alone, he definitely doesn't have that much ability.He hated Chen Xiao, and Xiao Si also suffered a lot from Chen Xiao's hands.The two will definitely hit it off.It is entirely possible to join hands to deal with Chen Xiao.

Gu Shi'an did not speak for a long time.Chang Ji did not continue on this topic, and asked, "How is the old lady's health?"

Gu Shi'an replied that it's okay, and he didn't say anything about the old lady eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha.

She was a little confused and hung up the phone quickly.Then sat on the bed in a daze.

The board of directors turned against each other, and Chen Xiao knew that Chen Xiao's life was sad without thinking about it.Gu Shi'an remembered the scene of meeting him and Li Ran in the shopping mall that day, and stood there for a long time.It was windy and snowy outside the villa, and her figure reflected on the window was thin and thin.

She didn't know how long she stood there before she suddenly came back to her senses.Turn around and go indoors.She didn't wash up, but opened the door and went out.

Auntie was still tidying up the living room, and she was shocked to see her come down so quickly.Asked: "Why didn't you sleep?"

Gu Shi'an didn't answer, but asked in a low voice: "Auntie, I have something to go out for. Do you have a spare car key here?"

She was in a hurry, and the aunt was surprised, and said: "I have the key here, but it is still snowing outside, and the road is not easy to walk."

The mountain road is not easy to walk, and it is snowing. It is undoubtedly dangerous to go out.Besides, she rarely drives.

Gu Shi'an squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't worry, it's fine, I will definitely pay attention to safety."

If it wasn't for something urgent, how could she be like this, the aunt wiped her hands in a hurry and said, "Wait, I'll ask the driver to take you there."

The driver is here, but it's getting late.He is already asleep.

If the driver sent her there, no one would care about the old lady's side.Gu Shi'an hurriedly stopped her and said: "I can go by myself, I promise I will be careful. I don't worry if there is no one here with grandma, and don't tell her, I will be back soon."

The aunt hesitated for a while, but she still didn't call the driver again.He took the car keys for Gu Shi'an, and told her to be careful over and over again.

The snow-capped mountain road is not easy to walk, so tell her not to come back tonight, she will take care of the old lady.

Gu Shi'an responded well, opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.

The aunt didn't enter the house until she watched her drive the car out.

It was snowing, but fortunately the road was not frozen.Not very slippery.Gu Shi'an hadn't touched the car for a long time, and her vision was not good at night, so she had to drive with great difficulty.

Halfway through the car, the snow was getting bigger and bigger, and it slid a few times.Fortunately, her speed was not fast, and she was never in danger.

Her spirit has always been highly concentrated, until she crossed the mountain road and entered the main road, she was quietly relieved.She didn't know when her back was wet with sweat, and she didn't realize it was cold.

The snow was falling heavily and there were few vehicles on the road.It has accumulated on the road in a short period of time.

She didn't stop to rest, and drove the car directly to the new house.The security guard over there hadn't seen her for a while and was surprised to see her.At the same time, he also told her that Mr. Chen has not come back tonight.

Gu Shi'an smiled and nodded, and drove the car into the parking lot.

Chen Guo is obviously not at home, and the car is not there.There was no one upstairs either.She called his phone, but his phone was turned off.

Gu Shi'an originally wanted to call Assistant Sun, but in the end he didn't.Standing at the door, waiting for Chen Xiao to come back.
