Confess to you, do you want to listen?

Chapter 71
Gu Shi'an didn't sleep well all night, so she went to the company the next day at work, and then went to Chen Xiao's company under the pretext of going to the construction site.

She called Chen Xiao downstairs, but Chen Xiao's cell phone was always on the phone.

She called several times but failed to get through, so she stopped calling and went directly to his company.

At the end of the year, Chen Xiao's company was also busy, with people coming and going in the hall in a hurry.Gu Shi'an went up to the front desk and said he wanted to see Chen Xiao, and the front desk smiled and asked her if she had an appointment.

She knew that if she didn't make an appointment, she probably wouldn't be able to see Chen Xiao today, so she said yes, and gave her name, asking her to tell Chen Xiao's assistant directly.

She was just gambling, she wasn't sure that Chen Xiao's assistant still remembered her.

The front desk didn't say much, he smiled and asked her to wait a while, and then called Chen Xiao's assistant.

The phone over there was always busy. Gu Shi'an waited for a full quarter of an hour before the front desk smiled and said, "Miss Gu, Mr. Chen, please go up."

As she spoke, she led Gu Shi'an to the elevator, and pressed the elevator for her.

Gu Shi'an said thank you right now, and when the elevator door closed, she just stared at the number going up in the elevator without moving.

The elevator stopped soon. When she walked out, Chen Xiao's assistant was already waiting outside the elevator. Seeing her, he called his wife respectfully and said, "Mr. Chen is still in the meeting room, please wait a moment." Just a moment, he'll be back in a moment."

Gu Shi'an thanked him politely, and he took Gu Shi'an to Chen Xiao's office, and served tea.

Chen Xiao came back not long after.The assistant had already told him that he was not surprised to see Gu Shi'an.The corners of her lips twitched, and she asked, "Daughter-in-law, what wind brought you here?"

His tone was so careless, as always, energy-poor.As he spoke, he called someone to make him a cup of coffee and come in.

He seemed quite relaxed.

Gu Shi'an looked at him for a while, and without going around in circles, he said directly: "I'm here, I want to ask you about Gu Qian."

When Chen Xiao heard this, he looked at her and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Gu Shi'an didn't go to see him, and then asked, "How much did he borrow from you?"

Chen Xiao glanced at her lazily at this moment, the door was knocked and the secretary outside brought coffee, he took it, picked up the coffee and took a sip, looked at Gu Shian with a smile on his face, and said : "Why, daughter-in-law, do you want to pay it back for him?"

As he spoke, he walked across to Gu Shian and sat down.

Gu Shi'an didn't care whether there was sarcasm in his tone, and said lightly: "Do you think I can get back the money for him?"

Chen Xiao took a meaningful look at her now, and said, "That's not necessarily true." After a slight pause, he tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa a few times regularly, leaned forward, and the corners of his lips She showed a meaningful smile and said, "Daughter-in-law, since you are not here to pay off his debts, what are you doing here? Do you just want to find an excuse to come to see me?"

He looks like this, obviously playing stupid.Gu Shi'an wanted to tear off the mask on his face, but he endured it and said, "He asked you to borrow money, it should be more than just borrowing money, right?"

Chen Xiao is a cannibalistic devil. Gu Shi'an would not believe it if he said that he would have lent money to Gu Qian if he didn't know anything.

Chen Xiao sipped his coffee slowly, sat up straight, and said, "Daughter-in-law, I don't understand what you mean. What do you mean by not just borrowing money? Could it be that my brother-in-law has caused other troubles?" ?”

He really pretended to be so stupid.As he spoke, he looked at Gu Shi'an innocently.

Gu Shi'an knew that he was going to pretend to be a fool to the end.

She took a deep breath, and after a while, she said: "I don't know what trouble he caused, but I know that the trouble he caused should be serious. My grandma is old... Please hold me up. "

She didn't go on when she said this, but Chen Xiao already understood what she meant.

No matter what Gu Qian provoked, if it really got serious, it would be Mrs. Gu who wiped his ass in the end.

Chen Xiao glanced at her coolly, and said, "You are quite lenient."

Gu Shi'an didn't say a word.

Chen Xiao put the cup down, took out a cigarette and lit it.There was a gloomy look on his face, he took a puff of a cigarette, and then asked, "Do you remember the person you chased in the alley last time?"

Gu Shi'an couldn't remember, so he looked up at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao glanced at her and said, "That's what your cousin paid for."

There was a bit of sarcasm in his tone.

Gu Shi'an suspected Gu Su, but he never thought about Gu Qian.She thought that Gu Qian didn't want to see her at most, and came up with some ideas behind Gu Su's back to deliberately punish her.

Chen Xiao didn't wait for her to speak, and continued casually: "As the saying goes, if you beat a dog, you have to see the owner first. Since you have the guts to do such a thing, of course you have to learn a lesson. I'm going I advise you to leave it alone, and I don’t care about it. Don’t worry, you won’t be able to make trouble with the old lady. It’s enough to make your second uncle and aunt worry about it.”

The dog he mentioned earlier was obviously referring to Gu Shi'an.The tone of the latter was lazy, obviously not paying attention to this matter.

Gu Shi'an just pretended that he didn't hear what he said earlier. Although Chen Xiao had said that he would not make trouble in front of the old lady, she was still worried if she didn't know what trouble Gu Qian had caused.Besides, nothing is [-]% guaranteed.

Just as Gu Su often scolded her as a wolf-hearted dog, she could do whatever she wanted, but she couldn't let go of the old lady.

She looked at Chen Xiao and asked, "What trouble did Gu Qian get into?"

Chen Xiao wasn't surprised at all when she got to the bottom of it, and said casually, "What trouble can I cause? It's just a big bet on playing with women. Well, it's just that this time it's a little too big."

If it was really as simple as he said, it would be impossible for Qin Tang to ask her to remind the old lady.

What else did Gu Shi'an ask, but before he could say anything, Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and said, "Why, don't you believe me? If you don't believe me, what are you doing here?"

His tone was cool, he glanced at Gu Shi'an, stood up and walked behind the desk, so he was seeing off a guest.

Gu Shi'an stood still, she knew that, as Chen Xiao said, she couldn't control this matter.She also doesn't want to deal with these messes.She was silent for a while, looked at Chen Xiao, and said, "Thank you...for grandma's sake..."

Chen Xiao seemed to know what she was going to say, squinted at her, and said, "I'm not that heartless yet."

Gu Shi'an choked at this moment, and couldn't find anything to say for a while.

The phone on Chen Xiao's desk rang, and she stood there for a moment before saying, "I'm leaving first."

Chen Xiao ignored her and picked up the phone.Gu Shi'an quickly retreated from his office.

When I went out, I happened to meet Chen Xiao's assistant. He was a little surprised to see Gu Shi'an coming out so soon, and asked, "Are you leaving now?"

Gu Shi'an squeezed out a smile and nodded, said "Troubleshooting" again, and then walked quickly to the elevator.

She didn't expect that she would go back just like that during her trip, and stood downstairs for a while before going to the construction site.

She was worried about the old lady, so she called her during lunch.She should still know nothing,
After receiving a call from Gu Shi'an, she told her that the Chinese New Year is coming, don't just focus on work, she is already someone else's daughter-in-law, and she has to prepare everything that needs to be done, so don't let Grandma Chen Xiao worry about it.

When it comes to preparing things for the New Year, last year Gu Shi'an was the shopkeeper.Hearing the old lady's order, he couldn't help but blush, and quickly complied.

The old lady babbled on the phone for a long time before hanging up.

Probably because he didn't sleep well at night, Gu Shi'an's head felt a little achy in the afternoon.She knew that Qi Shiyun didn't care about things, even if the old lady was sick, she could let her go.Not to mention preparing new year's goods.

When she got off work, she called Ye Qing and asked what to prepare for the New Year.She slowly prepared to take it there, and then slowly made up for any gaps.

When she called, the old lady was around, Ye Qing smiled and asked her to do her work, she would prepare for the New Year, just let her go directly there.

Gu Shi'an responded embarrassingly.

All the preparations for the New Year are her business, how can she really go there directly when the time comes.I made a list in the next few days, went shopping early on Saturday, and then went to the old house.

Qi Shiyun was not there, other than the servants, there were only the old lady and Ye Qing.The old house is deserted.

The old lady was helpless when she saw Gu Shi'an's big bag and small bag, and said: "You are really being polite to you as a grandma? Didn't you say that your Aunt Ye will prepare? What are you worrying about when you are at work?"

The old lady felt sorry for her, she asked Ye Qing to pour hot tea for her while someone took the things.

Although Chinese New Year is coming soon, the weather is still cold.It has not snowed outside, and the temperature has not risen.

Ye Qing poured tea for Gu Shi'an, and went to serve her some snacks.The old lady asked her how her work was going at the end of the year.

Gu Shi'an answered one by one, and the old lady smiled and said: "Chen Xiao is the busiest at the end of the year, and has a lot of entertainment. Let him accompany you after the holiday. A few days ago, your Aunt Ye said that there are many things in the New Year. Young people are going out to travel, and you will also go out for a few days when the time comes."

Gu Shi'an didn't know why the old lady would suddenly ask her to go out with Chen Xiao, so he felt a little drummed in his heart, lifted his spirits, and said with a smile: "There are many people going out during the Chinese New Year, and going out is just a waste of time on the road. I already thought Well, when the time comes, we will accompany you to make a big name. Maybe we can make a small fortune."

Her tone was mischievous, both the old lady and Ye Qing laughed.

The old lady was particularly happy, and said with a smile: "It seems that you girl thinks that I have given too little New Year's money. But you have to be careful when the time comes, and don't lose the New Year's money back to me."

There was laughter in the living room.The old lady talked about the lively scene of the Chinese New Year when she was young.

The old house has been deserted all these years, and she is somewhat dejected.Gu Shi'an knew that she was thinking of Chen Zhengkang.

It stands to reason that he should come back during the Chinese New Year.But if he came back and tossed him with Chen Xiao's temper, he would not be able to live in peace this year.

This topic cannot be continued, so Gu Shi'an cheered up and changed the topic.

After all, the old lady still had a knot in her heart, and the smile on her face afterwards was somewhat forced.After all, she was still out of spirits, when Gu Shian and Ye Qing went to make dumplings in the evening, she leaned on the sofa and dozed off.

It's warm in the house, but I'm not afraid of freezing.Ye Qing took a blanket to cover her, washed his hands and started kneading dough again, then sighed lowly, and said: "The old lady has been reading that person several times recently, she is getting old after all."

In the past, when Chen Zhengkang came back, she was always driven out with a broom.

Gu Shi'an looked in the direction of the living room, feeling a little uncomfortable.In the end, he still asked: "Eunuch, did you visit the old lady later?"

Ye Qing shook his head, hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.Change the subject.

Ye Qing was always a little restless, when he was waiting to sit down and start making dumplings, he finally said: "Shi'an, why don't you persuade Chen Xiao to let him celebrate the new year and invite everyone to celebrate the new year together. The old lady is getting old , no matter what, I am eager to see my children and grandchildren around my knees."

She sighed at this point, and said: "The old lady is not a human being inside and out all these years, your mother-in-law..."

She sighed again when she said this, but she didn't continue after all.

The old lady just took a short nap, and she woke up after the two made the dumplings.Straight sighed that people are old and fall asleep while sitting.

Probably because of repeated illnesses, the old lady looks much older than before, and her spirit is not as good as before.

Gu Shi'an felt a little uncomfortable, and talked about the dumplings she made with Ye Qing.There were several kinds of fillings, so she asked the old lady which kind of fillings she wanted.

The old lady smiled and said that she could eat anything.

When Chen Xiao came back, the three of them were sitting at the small dining table eating steaming dumplings, Gu Shi'an said from time to time to hold the dumplings for the old lady.

He didn't expect Gu Shi'an to be there, so he stood at the door for a while before going in.

The old lady was surprised to see him come back, and said, "Didn't you say you're busy recently?"

Gu Shi'an also didn't expect Chen Xiao to come over, and was afraid that he would be betrayed, so he pretended to be calm and said, "I'll go get the bowls and chopsticks."

The old lady was happy to see him come back. When Gu Shi'an entered the kitchen, she was still muttering: "Shi'an came back alone with big bags and small bags. Since you can spare time, you should come back together."

Chen Xiao was much calmer than Gu Shi'an, and he fooled the old lady with a few words.It wasn't until the old lady stopped mentioning it that Gu Shi'an quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

With Chen Xiao present, the atmosphere can only be better.Gu Shi'an and Ye Qing didn't make many dumplings, but now they ate them cleanly.

The old lady only thought that the two of them were busy and didn't have a good meal during this time, so she said that they would not go to work tomorrow and asked them to stay here to sleep at night.Ask Ye Qing to cook some soup that nourishes the body.

Chen Xiao didn't even go to see Gu Shi'an, so he agreed.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so the few of them played cards with the old lady.Among them, Gu Shi'an's poker skills are the worst, and he keeps losing.

Ye Qing just laughed at her wanting to make a small fortune.

Several people wanted to make the old lady happy, and finally the old lady became the big winner.

Gu Shi'an and the others were left to eat, so the dinner was naturally rich.The atmosphere has always been harmonious and harmonious. It wasn't until the old lady went to rest after dinner that the old house became deserted.

Although I told Chang Xi about coming here, Gu Shi'an naturally wanted to tell her that he couldn't go back at night.When I got back to my room, I called Chang Ji.

Chen Xiao followed Gu Shian up the stairs not long after, and the two of them never had a chance to talk alone. At this moment, he glanced at Gu Shian and asked, "Why are you here?"

He really didn't expect Gu Shi'an to come over.

Gu Shi'an talked about buying new year's goods.Chen Xiao didn't say anything now, and went to wash up.

During this period of time, Chen Xiao seemed to be having a good time without drinking, and when he came out of the shower, he opened the wine and drank it by himself.

Gu Shi'an remembered Ye Qing's words, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Aunt Ye said, recently grandma is often thinking about... father-in-law."

Chen Xiao paused slightly with the hand holding the cup, and did not speak for a while.

It was very quiet in the house.Chen Xiao didn't pause for a long time, and soon began to shake the wine in the glass again. Half of his face was immersed in the shadow, and he couldn't see the expression on his face, nor what he was thinking.

After a while, he looked up at Gu Shi'an, as if nothing happened, and asked, "Will you have a drink?"

Before Gu Shi'an could answer, he got up and poured wine from the glass.

Gu Shi'an fell asleep after only drinking one glass. Although Chen Xiao couldn't tell if he was in a good or bad mood, he finished a bottle of wine before going to bed.

Gu Shi'an got up early the next day and made breakfast, probably because he was in the old house, but Chen Xiao also got up quite early.The old lady just got up and he got up too.

He was always good at disguising, but he couldn't tell that he had drunk last night.

It's probably because yesterday's things are exhausted until today, and he hasn't stopped his mobile phone since he ate breakfast.As soon as breakfast was over, the old lady waved him to do his work.

Chen Xiao didn't say much, and left in a hurry.

Gu Shi'an didn't go back until the afternoon, so he still stayed in the old house and talked with the old lady.When Gu Shi'an and Ye Qing were cooking in the kitchen, they didn't know what the old lady said to Chen Xiao.At noon, the old lady said again: "I have already agreed with Chen Xiao, after the new year, you will go out with him for a good time. I will let you book the air tickets in advance, and just stagger the time and peak hours."

Gu Shi'an was slightly stunned, and just as she was about to say something, the old lady patted her hand and said, "Don't refuse, grandma doesn't need you to stay with me all the time. If you still listen to grandma, you will be fine when the time comes." to play."

She sighed at this point, looked at Gu Shi'an even more lovingly, and said: "When you and Chen Xiao got married, he was busy, and you didn't even have a honeymoon trip. This time you just listen to grandma, have fun, It’s like going on a honeymoon.”

Whether it's a wedding or a honeymoon, it seems like a long, long time ago.Gu Shi'an was slightly in a trance.

It's only been more than a year, but time seems to have passed for centuries.

Gu Shi'an left the old house during the old lady's lunch break, and the old lady asked the driver to take her off.It was probably because the old lady was more or less in a daze when she mentioned the honeymoon trip.After getting in the car, I kept looking outside.

After a long time, she closed her eyes.

The old lady had already asked Chen Xiao what she meant about this matter. He obviously had many excuses to push it down, so he didn't know how he would agree.

Gu Shi'an's mind was a little confused, and she didn't realize that she had arrived at her and Chen Xiao's wedding room until the car stopped.

She got out of the car quickly, waited for the driver to drive away, and then took the car back to the old house.

When I went back to Chang'an, it turned out to be there.Gu Shi'an was a little surprised and asked, "You don't have to go to work today?"

Chang Yan just smiled and said, "The boss's family is out of town, and the holiday will officially start today." She paused slightly, and then said, "I just happened to be fine today. However, I have received a few orders. It is estimated that three days before the New Year All busy."

She needs money, and during the Chinese New Year period, the prices paid by customers are twice as high as usual.Of course she will not let go of this opportunity.

As soon as Gu Shi'an entered the door, she was covered in cold air, so she poured her a cup of hot water.He took out another paper envelope and handed it to her, saying: "Our boss is generous and pays a lot at the end of the year. These are my salary for the past two months, you take it first."

She is generous and has nothing to hide.After finishing speaking, he said: "I usually earn a lot of extra money, which is completely enough to spend, really. The money you borrowed later, it's not easy to never repay it. If you can pay back a little bit, it's a little bit."

Her tone was very serious, and the expression on her face was much more relaxed than before.

Gu Shi'an knew that she didn't want to owe anyone, so after thinking for a while, he took the money and said, "Leave it to me first, and then ask me to get it when you need it."

Chang Yan nodded, and said with a smile: "The few orders I have received in the past few days can more than cover my salary for more than a month, and I will still have some left over by then."

It's easy for those who celebrate the New Year to still be running around outside, but she is happy, and Gu Shi'an naturally supports her.He smiled and said, "When the time comes, you have to rest and treat us to a big meal."

Chang Yan nodded seriously, and said that he would definitely cook a big meal for everyone, and it would be fine if he went out to eat.

Gu Shi'an said that it's time to go out to eat, she is busy during the Chinese New Year, of course she should take a few days off.

Chang Yi simply agreed and asked Gu Shi'an to book a place when the time comes.

After the two talked for a while, Chang Xi raised his head and looked at Gu Shi'an hesitantly.

Seeing this, Gu Shi'an was puzzled, and asked, "Then what are you looking at me for, what's wrong?"

Chang Li just said nothing.She hesitated for a moment, but finally said: "Do you know what happened to Mrs. Gu recently?"

Now it was Gu Shi'an's turn to be stunned, she had a bad feeling and asked, "What's wrong?"

Seeing that she didn't know anything, Chang Li felt a little regretful that she shouldn't mention it.
