Chapter 70
Chang'an's movements paused slightly, and then he said, "No, what is he looking for?"

When she said this, she didn't go to see Gu Shi'an.

After a slight pause, he looked at Gu Shi'an and said, "Don't worry about me, I'm not as weak as you think."

Her tone is serious.

Gu Shi'an looked at her, words surged in his throat.After all, she still didn't say anything, nodded, and said, "Go take a shower, you have to go to work tomorrow, go to bed early."

Chang Chen nodded, said yes, and went to take a bath.

After taking a shower and returning to the room, Gu Shi'an lay on the bed, opened his eyes and looked at the pitch-black ceiling, but couldn't fall asleep.

When Chang's father came back, she felt inexplicably uneasy.He obviously hasn't been back for so many years, and he doesn't know why he came back suddenly.

Gu Shi'an's mind was in a mess, and his body was lying stiff, so he forced himself not to think about anything and closed his eyes.

When she woke up the next day, she had already left, and the room was quiet.Gu Shi'an didn't sleep well last night and was listless.She washed her face with cold water and stood in front of the mirror for a long time before washing up and going to work.

Fast forward to the end of the year, the company is busy, and colleagues come and go in a hurry.

Gu Shi'an was busy all morning, and it was almost lunch time before finishing the matter at hand.She breathed a sigh of relief and got up to make coffee.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the tea room, I saw Luo Yun and several colleagues standing inside, talking about something.

Seeing Gu Shi'an, the smile on Luo Yun's face became wider, she took a sip of coffee and said, "Is Senior Sister Gu coming to make coffee too?"

Gu Shi'an looked at the people around her. These days, she has been doing well in the company, and she has formed a small circle of her own.

Gu Shian smiled and nodded.

She didn't intend to chat, but Luo Yun didn't stop there, stepped forward a few steps, and said, "Why do I think Senior Sister Gu, you don't look very well today?"

What she said didn't mean anything.

After receiving the water, Gu Shi'an straightened up and looked at her, and said, "Really?" After a slight pause, she smiled faintly, and said, "Everyone is busy at the end of the year. Everyone in the company is not like this. I heard that the finance department has been working overtime for two consecutive weeks. You look pretty good, but it’s different when you’re young.”

Gu Shi'an's words sounded like he was praising her, but Luo Yun couldn't understand what he meant.

She gritted her teeth secretly, the smile on her face didn't drop at all, and she was about to say something.Who knew that Gu Shi'an didn't even look at her anymore, and walked away with the cup in his hand.

Luo Yun knocked out her teeth and swallowed it down her stomach, glaring fiercely at Gu Shian's back, waiting for the people in the tea room to leave in groups of threes and threes, she poured a cup of coffee into the potted plant, and sneered Went to Mr. Qu's office.

Gu Shi'an worked overtime until seven o'clock at night, she was worried about Chang'an, so she called Chang'an after get off work and asked her when she got off work, and she went to wait for her.

It was usually late when she got off work, so she said no and asked her to go back first.She will go back by herself later.She knew what Gu Shian was thinking, so don't worry, she's fine.

Everyone has their own life, Gu Shi'an didn't want to intervene too much, so he agreed.Let her go back at night and be careful.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Shi'an felt a little empty.She stood for a while before walking to the bus stop.She didn't have an appetite, and she didn't want to cook. She originally planned to eat a bowl of noodles at the gate of the community when she got off the car, but she didn't know that Qin Tang's car was parked on the side of the road as soon as she got off the car.

Gu Shi'an thought he had made a mistake, so he took a few steps forward and saw Qin Tang standing beside the car, smoking a cigarette.

Gu Shi'an didn't know why he was here, and just about to call out Mr. Qin tentatively, Qin Tang turned around.

He was not surprised to see Gu Shi'an at all, nodded, and said lightly, "I'm back."

Gu Shi'an replied yes, she was a little puzzled, and asked tentatively, "Why are you here?"

Qin Tang immediately opened the trunk, took out a white foam box from the back, and said, "A friend airlifted some boxes of crabs, and brought some for you."

His tone was understated, as if he was talking about something unimportant.

Gu Shi'an hurried forward to take the crab in his hand, and said, "Why didn't you call ahead when you came?"

I don't know how long he has been waiting here.

Qin Tang said calmly, "I've just arrived."

Then it's inappropriate to stand and talk, so Gu Shi'an said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? If you don't mind, you can leave after eating."

Qin Tang didn't refuse, he said yes, and followed Gu Shi'an into the community.

As usual, Qin Tang didn't talk much.Most of the time it was Gu Shian who was looking for something to say.

After entering the house, Gu Shi'an poured Qin Tang a glass of water, and went into the kitchen to get busy.

The crabs Qin Tang brought were big and in good spirits.It is not available in the ordinary market.Gu Shi'an was worrying about what to do, Qin Tang went to the door of the kitchen and asked, "Is there any help?"

He was a guest, so he couldn't go to the kitchen, so Gu Shi'an waved his hand and said no.Then he looked at him again and asked, "Mr. Qin, do you think this crab is steamed or..."

"The ones given to you are yours. You can handle it yourself." He came to ask if he needed help just now, which was probably just a polite remark, and he went back to the living room after saying this.

Gu Shi'an curled his lips secretly, she is not as powerful as usual, after thinking about it for a while, he picked up a few small brushes, cleaned them and steamed them.

The rest didn't move, and planned to come back often to let her do it.So as not to waste food.

Steaming crab couldn't be easier.For everyday meals, Gu Shi'an quickly prepared them and served them to the table.

Qin Tang had been standing on the balcony until Gu Shi'an called him, and he returned indoors.

The steamed hairy crabs had already been set on the table, Qin Tang sat down, but did not move.When Gu Shi'an looked at him suspiciously, he said, "I remember that your father would always eat crabs when the season came."

Gu Shi'an didn't expect that he would mention her father, so he paused and looked up at him.

Qin Tang did not continue, picked up the small scissors prepared by Gu Shian, and cut off the crab legs.

The room was silent for a moment.Gu Shi'an felt that Qin Tang came here a bit abruptly today, but he didn't say anything until he left.

Gu Shi'an originally wanted to send him downstairs, but he refused.When he opened the door and went out, he raised his wrist to look at the time, and suddenly said: "The New Year is coming soon, and I will go back to City D in a few days. If you have time to travel there during the annual vacation, you can call me Telephone."

He came here specially, it seemed that he came to say goodbye.

Gu Shi'an responded with a good sentence, Qin Tang nodded, indicating that Gu Shi'an did not need to see him off, and the figure quickly disappeared in the corridor.

After going downstairs, Qin Tang didn't leave immediately.He stood downstairs and smoked a cigarette before leaving.

Gu Shi'an cleaned up the kitchen, and sat on the sofa to watch TV after washing.Since Chang didn't come back, she naturally couldn't sleep.

I don't know if I'm busy today or what, and I still haven't come back at 10:30.

Gu Shi'an called her, probably because of the bad signal, but she couldn't get through.

Gu Shi'an couldn't sit still anymore, put on his clothes again and went downstairs, planning to go to the gate of the community to wait for her to come back.

She didn't see Chang Xi when she went downstairs, but she saw Chen Xiao who didn't know how to appear here.

Chen Xiao stood at the entrance of the corridor and made a phone call. He probably didn't expect Gu Shi'an to come down so late, so he couldn't help being startled.Immediately hung up the phone, coughed lightly, and asked, "It's so late and you haven't slept yet?"

Gu Shi'an also didn't expect him to be here. Looking around, he didn't know where his car was parked, so he didn't see it.

Gu Shi'an didn't speak, and after a while, he asked, "Why are you here?"

Chen Xiao clenched his hand into a fist and coughed on his lips, and said, "About Grandma's birthday banquet..."

He was very persistent this time, and he came here for this matter.A bit of fatigue appeared on Gu Shi'an's face, and he didn't want to let him know that Chang Li was here, and said, "I've already said, it's all over, you don't have to care."

Chen Xiao took out a cigarette to light it, glanced at Gu Shi'an, and said, "Do you think this is interesting? I was wrong that day, and I sincerely apologize to you. Or, what do you think I want you to do?" Do you think it is sincere enough?"

There was already a bit of irritability in his tone later on.

In this way, it seems that Gu Shi'an is holding on to this matter.

Gu Shi'an took a deep breath and said, "You did nothing wrong, and you have no obligation to do so. You don't need to apologize to me."

There was a hint of self-mockery in her tone.

Chen Xiao was even more irritable. When he wanted to say something, his phone vibrated.He took it out and looked at it, but picked it up.

I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but he quickly said, I'll be right over.

After hanging up the phone, he looked up at Gu Shi'an, took a deep breath, and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't deliberately not go to grandma's birthday banquet that day."

The person on the other end of the phone should be in a hurry, he left without looking back after saying this.

There was no expression on Gu Shi'an's face, the voice-activated lights in the corridor dimmed, and her figure was submerged in the darkness.

After a while, she stomped her feet, and then took out her mobile phone to call Chang Ji.

Chang's phone was connected quickly this time. She was busy tonight, so she was the last to leave.Still in the car right now.

Gu Shi'an was afraid that Chen Xiao would meet her, so he was relieved to hear that she hadn't come back yet.

She couldn't sleep when she went back, so she simply waited for Chang at the door.The weather is still cold, but she doesn't seem to feel the cold.Just stand there.She didn't raise her head until she heard familiar footsteps.

Chang Li was a little surprised to see Gu Shian waiting at the door, and asked, "Why haven't you slept yet? Didn't I tell you that I would come back by myself?"

Gu Shi'an just smiled and asked without answering her words, "Are you busy today?"

Chang Yu nodded and said, "It's very busy, the Chinese New Year is coming. There are also more customers making reservations."

Gu Shi'an snorted, she had boiled the water, and asked Chang to take a bath when she entered the door.After waiting for Chang Yu to come out, she took out the crabs that Qin Tang brought, and said with a smile, "These are for you. You are in good spirits, and you shouldn't die for the time being."

It is rare to see such a big and fat crab at the end of the new year, Chang's eyes lit up, he looked at Gu Shi'an, and asked, "Where did this come from?"

Qin Tang couldn't explain it clearly in a few words, so Gu Shi'an vaguely said that it was a gift from a friend.

Chang Wei didn't ask any more questions, saying that she could go to work later tomorrow, and when the time came, she would cook porridge for Gu Shi'an and let her eat before going to work.

She was obviously in a good mood, and without waiting for Gu Shi'an to object, she carried the crab to the kitchen by herself.

It was past eleven o'clock, and neither of them felt sleepy yet.Gu Shian peeled the fruit.

Chang Yu ate a small piece, and didn't know what to think of, so he suddenly asked, "What are your plans for the New Year?"

Gu Shi'an naturally knew what she meant, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "I should go to both sides, just like in previous years."

Chang'an fell silent now.

The two of them had their own troubles, and Gu Shi'an didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he said, "Don't go back, when the time comes, call Big Sister Fan and Little Huzi over here, and celebrate the New Year here. I I'll come back to see you when I have time."

Chang Li nodded in agreement.

Gu Shi'an owed Qin Tang a lot of favors, and with the rare crabs he sent, it was obviously inappropriate not to return the gift.

She called Qin Tang half a month before the New Year's Eve and asked him when he planned to return to City D.

Qin Tang hadn't finished dealing with the matter in his hands, so he replied that he should go back next weekend.

Gu Shi'an asked him when he was free at home.

Qin Tang should have a lot of things to do, but he didn't ask her anything and asked her to come over on Friday night.Gu Shian complied.

Choosing the gift for Qin Tang was troublesome, but Qin Tang obviously has everything he needs.In the end, Gu Shi'an went to several shopping malls to buy supplements and local specialties here, planning to give them to Qin Tang for him to take back and give away.

She got off work early on Friday, and then carried the big and small bags.

It was still early when she passed, and Qin Tang was actually there.He wasn't surprised to see her passing with something, he frowned and looked at it, signaling the aunt at home to put the things away.

Gu Shi'an was uncomfortable, and said: "You should have everything, these are all brought back for you to give away."

Qin Tang was noncommittal, motioned Gu Shian to sit down, and then poured her a cup of tea.

Gu Shi'an originally planned to sit down and leave, but Qin Tang said: "Auntie has already cooked, since everyone is here, let's go after eating."

Gu Shi'an couldn't refuse, touched his nose, and agreed.

She was sitting upright, Qin Tang took a sip of tea from the teacup, looked up at her, and asked, "How is the matter with Manager Xu going?"

He hadn't asked about it for so long, and he didn't know why it suddenly occurred to him.

When he asked about Gu Shi'an, he naturally would not fail to answer, so he said, "It's pretty smooth."

Qin Tang glanced at her again, and asked, "Aren't you being embarrassed?"

Gu Shi'an was somewhat embarrassed, and said, "It's okay. Manager Xu is indeed a little harsh." Not only was he harsh, Xu Wei was very harsh.But it didn't embarrass Gu Shi'an much.

Qin Tang nodded and said, "It seems that you are used to it. It's good."

Indeed, even Xu Wei's trickery has endured, and there must be nothing he can't overcome in the future.

Gu Shi'an touched his nose again.

Qin Tang's words tonight were much rarer, and he asked again: "Has the year-end bonus been distributed? Shouldn't it be quite a lot?"

Gu Shi'an shook his head and said, "Not yet. Our company's rule is to give out year-end bonuses on the last day. Let everyone have something to look forward to."

Qin Tang had probably never heard of such a statement, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Gu Shi'an smiled awkwardly, and said, "Small company, it should be different from Mr. Qin's company."

Qin Tang said slowly, "It's a pretty good idea. Let's work hard until the end of the year."

But no, even if you want to relax, thinking about the year-end bonus, you dare not relax.

Gu Shi'an smiled awkwardly, changed the subject, and asked, "Mr. Qin, when will you come back after the new year?"

"It should be after the Lantern Festival." After Qin Tang finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Shi'an and asked, "Why?"

Gu Shi'an shook her head and said, "It's nothing." After a slight pause, she continued, "Remember to call me when you come back. It's New Years, I'll treat you to dinner."

Qin Tang nodded his head and said yes.

He seemed to have remembered something, stood up as he spoke, and walked towards the study.It didn't take long to get a few books out.

Gu Shi'an was puzzled, so he looked at him.Qin Tang pushed the book in front of her and said, "It's okay to be idle after the New Year's greetings, you can read all these books."

Gu Shi'an now remembered the book from last time. She was uncomfortable, but she still took it and said, "Thank you, I will definitely keep it well this time."

Qin Tang didn't seem to think anything was wrong, and said, "I saw that a long time ago, and it's useless to keep it."

Speaking of his aunt's meal being prepared, he motioned for Gu Shi'an to go over to eat.

Qin Tang didn't talk while eating, and when Gu Shi'an was about to leave after the meal, he took out a phone to her and said, "I'm the only one going back to City D. Take it, call him if you need anything."

Gu Shi'an was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "No need for Mr. Qin, I'm fine."

Qin Tang didn't speak, but just passed the business card.Gu Shi'an had no choice but to take it and thanked him.

Gu Shi'an was about to say goodbye and leave immediately, but Qin Tang said flatly, "Your cousin hasn't been doing well lately. If you have a chance, please remind Mrs. Gu to be more careful."

Gu Shi'an looked up at him now.

Qin Tang knew what she wanted to ask, but he didn't tell her anything, he just said flatly: "You can't control those messy things, tell the old lady how she knows how to deal with it. Remember to avoid it when you say it. "

He seems to know everything.

He was grateful for mentioning Gu Shi'an, and didn't ask further.I thanked him earnestly, and said that I would definitely pass it on to grandma.

Qin Tang nodded now, and ordered the driver to take Gu Shian back.

Gu Shi'an's mind was still in a mess when he got in the car. Since Qin Tang mentioned something, it means that Gu Qian's troubles should be serious.

She wanted to call the old lady immediately, but she endured it after all.Restrain yourself to calm down.

Qin Tang said that the old lady will handle it, which means that there is still room for maneuver.She called the old lady so hastily, it would only make the old lady anxious.

Gu Shian loosened his clenched fingers little by little, and closed his eyes.

Her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't figure it out for a while.He couldn't think of what trouble Gu Qian had caused.

She remembered that time when Gu Qian asked her to ask Chen Xiao out for dinner and what Chen Xiao said later.

Gu Shi'an didn't move for a while.I thought of the old lady's gray hair.

She had calmed down as she waited to get out of the car.She really can't control the Gu family's affairs, but before telling the old lady, she has to find out what's going on.

Things that the old lady doesn't even know, obviously she may not be able to find out if she wants to investigate.The easiest way to do this is to ask Chen Xiao.

Gu Shi'an originally wanted to call him, but he didn't call after checking the time, and planned to go to his company in person tomorrow.

Then she made up her mind, and she felt a little more at ease.

When she got home, Chang Li didn't come back. She had nothing to do, so after washing up, she took the book Qin Tang gave her and flipped through it.

This book is the same as the one he gave before, with some annotations still written.Gu Shi'an was slightly absent-minded.

She came back to her senses, and was planning to put away the remaining two books and have time to read them slowly.When I picked it up, my hand slipped and the book fell.A red envelope fell out of the book.

Gu Shi'an was slightly stunned for a moment, and squatted down to pick up the red envelope.

In the red envelope is the New Year's money, which is a very auspicious number, 880 yuan.There is also a note inside, simply writing the words Happy New Year.It is the handwriting of Qin and Tang Dynasties.

No wonder he let her read books during the annual vacation. It turned out that he gave her a red envelope for the New Year.He probably treated her like a child.

Gu Shian's eye sockets were moist.Inexplicably, she thought of her father.

He has always been a humorous person, and he is very creative in giving red envelopes every year.When she was very young, she hid the red envelopes.Let her find it.

When she grows up again, she will give her red envelopes in various unexpected ways.

The pain came out of nowhere, Gu Shi'an just squatted in a daze, and after a long time, he carefully put the red envelope back into the book.Then put the book on the bedside of the bedroom with precious and precious.

Her eyes were very astringent, she went to wash her face, and then applied a hot towel to it, and then sat on the sofa and became dazed.

She sat for a long time, and many past events came to her mind.She closed her eyes tightly.It wasn't until the sound of Chang'an opening the door came from outside that she quickly sorted out her emotions.
