Confess to you, do you want to listen?

Chapter 72

She hesitated for a while, but still said: "Last night, a guest came to our place for dinner. I heard that someone from the Gu family is selling Gu's shares."

Gu Shi'an's face immediately changed. Selling the shares is a big deal.How could you sell the shares without hearing any news for no reason?

Her mind is a little confused.Originally, she was about to ask Chang Ji who was selling it, but when she was about to speak, her body froze.

She quickly came back to her senses, and immediately walked towards the entrance in a hurry, smiling while walking, and said, "I'll go out for a while."

She was afraid of being worried, so she said, "It's okay, I'll be back in a while."

This time, without waiting for Chang to speak again, she hastily closed the door and went downstairs.

Gu Shi'an's mind is still in confusion. The shares of the Gu family have been equally distributed to the children and grandchildren of the Gu family except her and her father since her grandfather passed away.

Gu Qian is the only person she can think of selling shares now.

She remembered what he said in Chen Xiao's office that day, and Gu Shi'an took out his mobile phone to call Chen Xiao while going downstairs.

She now wants to confirm whether it is Gu Qian who sold the shares.

In fact, she already knew the answer herself.

Gu Shi'an's heart felt cold, he had clearly promised that for grandma's sake he would not...

She couldn't even imagine how angry she would be if grandma knew she was still in Gu Qian and sold the shares to eat, drink and have fun.

Chen Xiao's phone was not connected for a long time, but when Gu Shi'an was about to hang up and redial, the phone was finally picked up.

There was a lot of noise at Chen Xiao's side, probably for socializing.Gu Shi'an's mind has calmed down after the cold wind blows.After a moment of silence, he asked, "Where are you now? I want to see you."

Chen Xiao was lazy on the phone, and didn't ask her what's the matter, but told her where he was.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Shi'an immediately stepped forward to stop the car, and then told the driver where he was going.

Probably because of the end of the new year, there are many more pedestrians on the roads on both sides than usual. Red lanterns have been hung at the entrance of the shopping mall, and the atmosphere of welcoming the new year is everywhere.

Gu Shian looked out for a while, then closed his eyes.

There were so many thoughts popping up in her mind, she restrained herself from thinking about anything.

There was a traffic jam on the road, and it was already 10 minutes later when we arrived at the place where Chen Xiao was.She got out of the car and called Chen Xiao.Chen Xiao probably guessed the time of her arrival, but this time he answered the phone very quickly and asked her to go to the seventh floor of the hotel.

When Gu Shi'an went upstairs, Chen Xiao had just come out of the private room. The upstairs was quiet and there was no one around. He glanced at Gu Shi'an and asked, "What's the matter?"

His tone was very light.

Gu Shi'an looked up at him, and said, "Is Gu Qian selling his shares?"

Chen Xiao glanced at her now, and said, "You came here to ask this question?"

His tone was understated, and this matter probably wasn't a big deal in his eyes.

He was not surprised, Gu Shi'an was completely sure that the person who sold the shares was Gu Qian.She took a half step back, took a deep breath, and said, "Promise, this matter will not alarm grandma."

Now that the shares have been sold, the old lady will definitely know about it.It's just a matter of time.

Chen Xiao was a little impatient, and said, "Are you alarmed now?" He glanced at Gu Shi'an again after speaking, and said coldly, "Since you don't believe me, why are you looking for me?"

Gu Shi'an was momentarily speechless.

Chen Xiao originally turned around immediately and was about to leave, but he stopped after taking two steps.Looking back at Gu Shi'an, he asked sarcastically, "You really don't know anything about the Gu family?"

There was some amusement in his tone.

Gu Shi'an didn't know what he meant, so he looked up at him.

Before Chen Xiao said anything, the door of a private room not far away opened.Someone came out from inside and called Mr. Chen.

Chen Xiao stopped talking and walked over.

His entertainment was not over yet, Gu Shi'an originally thought that he was going back.Who knew that he just said a few words with that person, and then fell back.Glancing at Gu Shi'an, he said, "What are you still doing?"

He said and walked towards the elevator.

Gu Shi'an hesitated for a moment, and wanted to ask him if he didn't need to go back, but he still didn't ask, and followed him into the elevator.

When Chen Xiao entered the elevator, he lit a cigarette and started smoking. Gu Shi'an didn't understand what he meant by the phrase 'Gu's business'.After a moment of silence, he asked, "What do you mean by what you just said?"

Chen Xiao squinted at her and said, "You really don't know?"

He asked knowingly, but Gu Shi'an didn't answer.

Chen Xiao slowly exhaled smoke, looked at Gu Shi'an, and said, "Grandma Gu holds less than half of Gu's shares, don't you know?"

Gu Shi'an's father was expelled from the Gu family when he married her mother, and he no longer has any inheritance rights.So she never cared about the shares.But the old lady holds shares in her hands, which is normal.

Hearing this, she looked at Chen Xiao, not understanding what he meant by that.

Chen Xiao didn't whet her appetite, dusted off the cigarette ash in his hands, and continued: "Gu's shares, except for the old lady's shares, the shares held by your uncle, second uncle, and third uncle are all about the same." He said this After a slight pause, he looked at Gu Shi'an, and said, "They are all saying that the shares in your grandma's hands are going to be handed over to the real person in charge of the Gu family. It's not a way of inheritance for everyone to share equally."

Gu Shian had also never heard of these.Her mind was in a mess, she looked at Chen Xiao and asked, "Where did you hear this?"

Chen Xiao stepped out of the elevator, glanced back at her, and said, "Where did you hear that, is it important?"

Gu Shi'an was silent now.

Chen Xiao didn't continue on this topic, and continued calmly: "So, you don't have to worry about getting this matter in front of Grandma Gu. Now, it should be your second uncle and your second aunt who are worried."

There was a slight sarcasm on the corner of his lips.After speaking, he walked to his car, opened the door and got in the car.

Gu Shi'an's mind was in confusion, and he didn't understand what he meant at the moment.

Chen Xiao got into the car, but had no intention of driving.As if guessing that Gu Shi'an didn't understand, he snorted, pointed to his own head, and said, "Move this, it's not a decoration. Since there are rumors that the shares in your grandma's hands are going to be handed over to the real People in power, no matter whether this is the case or not, the attitude of the old lady is still unclear. It is impossible for your second uncle and aunt to take the risk of stabbing this matter to the old lady. The way is to keep it hidden from your uncle and third uncle. The old lady can't keep the shares, do you think it's possible for the old lady to hand them over to them?"

That's right, once this matter gets to the old lady's front.The old lady was furious, and it was even more impossible to hand over the shares in her hand to them.

And her second uncle's family stayed in the old house all these years, trying their best to take care of the old lady, not for the things behind the old lady.

Of all the things behind the old lady, the most important thing is naturally the shares in her hands.

Chen Xiao made it so clear, there was still something that Gu Shian didn't understand.She said she was relieved, but also a little dazed.

Chen Xiao glanced out through the front windshield, exhaled the smoke in his mouth, and said, "Here, come out."

Gu Shi'an followed his gaze, and it was her second uncle and aunt who hurried over from the elevator.

Both of them were dressed formally, arguing about something while walking.Probably because the matter was not discussed well, the faces of both of them were not good-looking.Her second uncle must have drunk a lot, and he could even hear his cursing when he got close.

Her second aunt hadn't come out to socialize for many years, as Chen Xiao said, the two of them were the most anxious.

Gu Shi'an hurried all the way here, and only now did he really breathe a sigh of relief.As long as you don't make trouble in front of the old lady, it has nothing to do with her.

Her second uncle and aunt quickly got in the car and left, and the parking lot fell into silence.

She wanted to find something to say, but couldn't find anything to say for a while.She came to look for Chen Xiao hastily. As Chen Xiao said, she didn't believe him.

In the past, he must have walked away long ago. I don't know where the patience came from today, but he even explained them to her one by one.

At this moment, Gu Shi'an wished that he had never lived in the past, but he still said nah, "I'm sorry."

Chen Xiao glanced at her, but didn't say anything about it, and asked, "Go back to the old house?"

With his appearance, he obviously wanted to send Gu Shi'an back.

Gu Shi'an was uncomfortable, and asked: "Your entertainment..."

He left halfway, and he didn't know if the matter was over.

The corners of Chen Xiao's lips curled up, and he said lazily: "Nothing is as important as my wife, is it?"

He is not serious, so Gu Shi'an is silent now.

Chen Xiao quickly started the car, and when he drove out of the parking lot, he looked at Gu Shi'an with some playfulness, and asked, "How did you find out about Gu Qian's sale of shares?"

Gu Shian's body froze now.That's right, as he said just now, her second aunt's family is trying their best to hide this matter.This means that very few people know about it.Chang said that she mentioned it while listening to guests chatting, which is too coincidental.

She couldn't tell Chen Xiao that she heard what Chang Xi said, so she said vaguely: "I heard a few words from someone when I went out."

Chen Xiao didn't know whether to believe it or not, so he glanced at her, but didn't ask her further.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, Gu Shi'an was preoccupied with something, let alone opened his mouth.The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was too coincidental for Chang to know.

Gu Shi'an's mind was in a mess, the chance of such a coincidence is very small.But it's not entirely impossible.

She tried her best to calm herself down, not letting Chen Xiao see anything strange.

Not long after the car drove, Chen Xiao's cell phone rang, and the caller ID was Luo Jian. He took a look, switched off the bluetooth and connected it up.

Luo Chan on the other end of the phone didn't know what to say, he hummed a few times, said something and then hung up the phone.Throwing the Bluetooth pick aside, said lightly: "They will all pass during the Chinese New Year."

Gu Shi'an didn't realize it for a while, but after a while he realized that they were referring to Chen Zhengkang's family.

It turned out that he had listened to what she said that day.

But Chen Zhengkang's family went there, and Qi Shiyun didn't know how he would explain.It's embarrassing for such a 'family' to celebrate the New Year together.

Gu Shi'an nodded silently, and said, "I'll go over to help during the holidays."

Chen Xiao was noncommittal, paused, and continued, "Grandma doesn't know yet."

Gu Shi'an nodded again, hesitated for a while, and finally asked: "Did they go there on the New Year's day?"

Chen Xiao glanced at her and said, "Do you think I invited you?" A bit of sarcasm appeared on his face, and he said, "Do you think I need to invite you?"

That's right, there's no need for him to ask for it.Chen Zhengkang has always been looking forward to returning to the old house, as long as he casually releases some news, he will come back by himself.For Chinese New Year, it's normal to be filial when you come back.

Gu Shi'an stopped talking now.On Qi Shiyun's side, Gu Shi'an was afraid of making a fuss, so she hesitated for a moment before asking: "Grandma's side..."

Over the years, the relationship between Qi Shiyun and Chen Zhengkang has been indifferent.Enough has been made, and no more troubles have been made.

But if Chen Zhengkang came back with that woman, he didn't need to think about it and knew that it would definitely not be peaceful.

Chen Xiao was irritable and didn't speak any more.

Only then did Gu Shi'an know that he made this decision and Qi Shiyun didn't know about it.She couldn't help at all in this matter, and she didn't say anything more.

Because Chen Zhengkang was mentioned, no one spoke for the next time.The car stopped outside the community, and before Gu Shian closed the door, Chen Xiao started the car and left.

This year is destined not to be peaceful, Gu Shi'an stood outside silently for a while, and then walked into the community.

She went upstairs, and before she could get out the key to open the door, the door opened from the inside.

Gu Shi'an was a little surprised, glanced at Chang Yi who opened the door, and asked, "How do you know I'm back?"

Chang Li just smiled and said, "I saw it on the balcony just now."

She probably knew that Gu Shi'an hadn't eaten on this trip, so she said, "I'll heat up the rice, wash my hands, and eat right away."

Gu Shi'an still ate in the old house in the afternoon, and only after she said so did she feel hungry.She agreed and hurried to wash her hands.

When she came out, Chang Xie had already served the rice, probably seeing that Gu Shi'an's expression was normal, she didn't ask any questions.

Gu Shi'an actually wanted to ask her where she got the news from, but in the end she didn't ask anything.

Chang Chang had to go out tomorrow, after eating, he cleaned and packed the cooked knives one by one, then washed and went to sleep.

Gu Shi'an got out of the shower and lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep.The room was extremely quiet, and Gu Shi'an suddenly remembered what Chen Xiao said, that the shares in the old lady's hands should be reserved for the real Gu family's ruler.

Her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by someone, and she couldn't breathe for a while.An idea came out of my mind uncontrollably.

For so long, she hadn't figured out the motives of those people to kill her father.Chen Xiao's words undoubtedly reminded her.

Although her father and mother got married and severed ties with the Gu family, the old lady has always been proud of her father.Up to now, I still mention it from time to time, mentioning his conduct in the world, and mentioning his intelligence and wisdom.

Gu Shi'an's fingers clenched unconsciously, and he closed his eyes.My thoughts gradually became clear in the dark night.

After her mother passed away, in order to let her get better care.Father returned to the old house. At that time, Gu's vitality was seriously injured because of the substandard launch of the new product.I don't know how the old lady talked with her father at that time, and his father returned to Gu's to work at that time.

At that time, she was not very old, and she couldn't remember whether her uncles objected.

But if the father's car accident was man-made, then his return to work was the fuse.

Grandma thinks highly of her father, and there are rumors that the shares in her hand will be reserved for the future rulers of the Gu family.Then, it was only natural for someone to want her father to die.

She had never been able to figure out why someone would harm her father before, but now there seemed to be a reasonable explanation for all of this.

Gu Shi'an's fingers were clenched tightly, and the pain was transmitted to every tiny nerve. She had to clenched her teeth tightly to hold back a sound.

In the darkness, there was no sound outside, Gu Shi'an froze for a long time, until he was numb from the pain, and then he loosened his fingers little by little.

She didn't know when tears flowed from the corner of her eyes, and the corner of her back had lost a piece, so she closed her eyes motionless.

Snowflakes fell outside at some point, and Gu Shian's body was icy cold.His head ached faintly in the cold.

She just lay there for an unknown how long, her head was about to explode, so she got up and went to take the medicine.

She couldn't sleep, so she took another bottle of whiskey from the wine cabinet and brought it back to the bedroom.

The wine was as hot as her throat, and she leaned against the door until she was dizzy before falling on the bed.

When Gu Shi'an woke up the next day, it was already snow-white outside, and there were children in the yard who had been on vacation for a long time and had nowhere to vent their energy, playing snowball fights.I don't know if it's because of the alcohol, but her head still hurts. She found medicine and poured water to drink it before going to wash.

She originally thought that Chang would only go out in the afternoon, but only when she saw that the shoes at the entrance were missing did she know that she had already left.

Gu Shi'an stood blankly in the living room for a while, then changed his clothes and went to work.

She had a lot of things to do during this time, and she didn't know that she would have an early vacation this year until she arrived at the company.The company's year-end party is tonight.

In the past, we had to wait until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and I don’t know why it was two days earlier this year.

It was only when Gu Shi'an went to ask that he found out that Mr. Qu had said that some of the employees lived in other places and it was not easy to buy air tickets, so he brought it forward.

Although it is an early holiday, if there is a need to deal with it in these two days, it has to be dealt with, but there is no need to come to the company again.

Gu Shi'an didn't care about it either, what to do or what to do.

Later, when Xiao Wang came back from outside, he asked Gu Shi'an with a mysterious face: "Sister Gu, do you know why the holiday is early this year?"

Seeing her like this, Gu Shi'an knew that she was gossiping again, and she had a headache, so she asked cooperatively, "Why?"

Xiao Wang looked outside and said, "Because Luo Yun and her sycophants promised that as long as they work hard, they will be able to have an early holiday this year. The people over there have already made reservations." Tomorrow's ticket and air ticket."

Naturally, it is something to be happy to be able to leave early, but she disdains Luo Yun.After finishing speaking, he clicked his tongue twice, and said, "It seems that the wind beside the pillow should not be underestimated."

Gu Shi'an didn't really believe that Luo Yun could persuade Mr. Qu to go on vacation early, so he looked at Xiao Wang and asked, "How do you know they booked tickets for tomorrow?"

Xiao Wang rolled her eyes and said, "People are showing off. Otherwise, how would I know?" After she finished speaking, she gloated and laughed, and said, "Beautiful Luo stole the limelight at the dinner last time, so I don't know Can't stand the limelight tonight."

For the year-end party, Mrs. Qu and her children would always come over in previous years.As long as they come, there will be no place for Luo Yun.She would be dingy.

Gu Shi'an remembered Peng Xue's words that someone would take care of Luo Yun. It was too high-profile for her to do this. Even if Mrs. Qu would not know it temporarily, she would definitely know it in a short time.

Or, did she do it on purpose?

Naturally, Gu Shi'an didn't know what Luo Yun was thinking.She didn't delve into it either, if there was a day when Luo Yun's words were worth as much as Qu Zong, at worst, she would just resign and leave.

The year-end party was the same as in previous years, and it was held at the Zhihe Hotel.Almost all colleagues in the company went there together.

Gu Shi'an originally thought that their company had an early holiday, and this place was not as lively as in previous years.But it wasn't. When I got off the car, I realized that besides their company, there were two other companies also holding year-end parties in the hotel.

Xiao Wang was looking forward to Mrs. Qu's arrival, and as soon as he entered the hotel, he searched for Mrs. Qu everywhere.She didn't see President Qu's wife, but she saw Li Ran.

The limelight was completely robbed last time. As soon as she saw Li Ran, she complained in a low voice: "Why is she here? This time is a party within the company."

Li Ran was not dressed up like last time, in professional attire.Sophisticated yet charming.

Gu Shi'an also didn't know why she was here, and when he heard Xiao Wang's complaint, he said lightly: "Mr. Lian Qu can decide when he is on vacation. Isn't it easy to bring someone here?"

Xiao Wang was so resentful, he hummed and said, "See how long she can be proud!"

Gu Shi'an didn't want to greet Li Ran hypocritically, so he went in with Xiao Wang before she came over.

The most exciting part of the year-end party is the year-end award.This year is an exception. Except for Luo Yun's small circle, most people in the company have been looking forward to Mrs. Qu's arrival since entering the hotel.Looking forward to seeing a good show on the last day of this year-end holiday.
