At the end of the month, it is summer. It is said that at this time of year, some of the old man's relatives and friends would come to G City from Beijing to Gu's family to accompany Mr. Gu for fun.

The Gu family's yard has already built one pergola after another. Wang Ma and the others are holding plates of fruits, melon seeds and other things in their hands, and Xin Yao is busy with He Jiezhen inside. Mr. Gu drags Nancy and Xiu Li to chat with the old friends who are coming outside. At this time, the lively house in Gu is even more prosperous than the Spring Festival. Although Mr. Gu is very stubborn when he was young, he has made many friends over the years because of his straightforward temperament.

"Xin Yao, the watermelon on the table over there has not been arranging yet. Go and send this plate of watermelon." He Jiezhen handed her a plate of cut watermelon, and then turned around to work on other things.

Ji Xinyao walked out with a plate and happened to see another car parked outside the yard. An old man who looked familiar came in. When Mr. Gu saw it, he stood up to greet him with a smile.

"Oh, Mr. Gu, I haven't seen you for many years. It's rare that you invited everyone here to gather this year and brought me with me! My son's hall happened to be renovated recently. I'm not too busy, so I took the time to come and have a walk. Oh, the place you built in Gu's house is really good, the air is good! It's indeed a good place for health care!"

When he walked in with a smile, Mr. Gu also smiled and said, "Old Jian, you have seen more and more people in your son's Mid-mountain guild hall, and you are becoming more and more polite in yourselves. Where did you go in the wilderness? What health care is, no matter how good my place is, it is not as good as your Mid-mountain guild hall in F City. That is a good place! Haha, I am old, otherwise I will definitely visit you often and support your son's business."

Ji Xinyao put down the plate in her hand and looked at the old man walking in front of the door.

Mr. Jian?

Isn’t he the old man in the farm of Banshan Guild Hall in F City? It turns out that he and Mr. Gu are also old friends.

Xin Yao was looking over there, wondering if it would be bad for her to say hello like this, but Old Jian turned around and said hello to several old men. He seemed to see Ji Xinyao at the front table, and immediately waved to her with a smile: "Miss Ji, are you still thinking about the fruits in our orchard? I specially brought a lot of them to you, picked them in the morning, and they are still very fresh now. I will ask someone to carry them in later!"

When Mr. Gu heard this, he turned to look at Xin Yao with a smile: "Xin Yao, do you know Mr. Jian?"

Xin Yao suddenly felt embarrassed. She couldn't tell her grandfather that when Gu Nanxi went to City F to find her, the events that happened in the Mid-mountain guild hall, she had to avoid the important and nodded lightly, then walked over and smiled politely at Old Jian: "Mr. Jian, do you remember that I like to eat fruits in your orchard? It's really a tragic loss of me!"

"Hey? What are you saying? You are our Mayor Gu's beloved wife, and you are the granddaughter-in-law whom Mr. Gu loved. I was chatting with me like this time. How could I not bring you something to you this time?" After Old Jian said that, he asked the person who came from the car behind him to take a bag of fresh fruit in and put it on the table next to him.

Xin Yaotian smiled gratefully. He Jiezhen was calling her inside, so she said hello again, turned around and went back to work with her.

There were no less than thirty people invited to the Gu family today, so the Gu family simply set up three tables of banquets to let Mr. Gu talk to these old friends to the fullest.

"Mr. Gu is really a family of children and grandchildren. Not only has he found his displaced grandson, but the little baby in his grandson's belly is about to be born. It turns out that he will soon be living with four generations. It's really enviable!"

"Hey, there are no fewer people in your family, four generations living together. If I hadn't gotten married too late and had children too late, I'm afraid my great-grandson would have already been able to make soy sauce now!" Mr. Gu wiped his mouth, his face was full of satisfaction, but he was still modest.

"Yes, in our teens, we could get a wife and have children. It was too late to get married in our thirties. However, the sister-in-law Gu you married us back then was still the hero of the girls of our era! Unfortunately, I passed away many years ago, otherwise, you really have nothing to lack!"

"It's really true. Lao Gu, you said that it's been so many years, and you didn't plan to find yourself a partner?"

"What kind of old friends are you looking for?" Mr. Gu waved his hand: "I'm so old, it's enough to have children and grandchildren to accompany me. It's a problem for many old friends halfway through. Old man, I like Qingjing, you don't know."

"I heard that our granddaughter-in-law is pregnant with two? From now on, two little kids will wander in front of you all day long, which is really enough for you!"

"There are more than two? I wish our child, Xin Yao, was more capable and gave birth to triplets for us!" Mr. Gu joked.

Ji Xinyao, who was serving dishes with He Jiezhen, heard it and suddenly had a red glow on her face. She didn't dare to look at the smiling eyes of the old man who was over at him. She just turned her eyes, looked at the direction where Gu Nanxi and Xiu Li were, and glanced at Gu Nanxi with a angrily glance.

Gu Nanxi obviously heard the loud voice of the old man over there, and then smiled with a clear look on his face. After saying a few words to the old men beside him, he came over, took the plate in her hand, and smiled slightly: "Are you shy?"

Ji Xinyao blushed: "Grandpa is almost treating me as a sow..."

Gu Nanxi immediately smiled and stretched out his hand to her shoulder, hugged her in his arms: "The old man has a life, how dare I, as a grandson, not obey?"

As he said that, he leaned down to her ear: "It seems that after these two little things are born, we must continue to work hard to create another little thing~" at this moment.

Ji Xinyao's face turned red and she raised her hand and pinched him quietly. Seeing Gu Nanxi pretending to be in pain, she hurriedly reached out and pushed him: "Let go, so many people are here~"

Gu Nanxi kissed her gently in her ear, then patted her shoulder: "You can't be tired if you need to exercise more. Go and rest, I'll serve the food."

"No, my mother said, letting me walk back and forth like this is good for my health. When the child is about to be born, it will be helpful for natural birth..." Xin Yao hurriedly wanted to grab the plate.

"I don't want you to work too hard." Gu Nanxi suddenly whispered this, looking at her with a gentle look, with care in her eyes.

Xin Yao's heart moved and she didn't argue with him. Seeing that there were a few old men with very gossip on the side who were looking at them, she blushed and pushed him away, turned around and ran back to the room alone.

Mr. Jian walked out of the awning at some point and was looking at the bottles of blue and white porcelain in the corner in the living room of Gu’s house. After seeing this, Xin Yao went to wash the fruits he brought and took them over: “Mr. Jian, then, do you eat two of the fruits you brought?”

When Old Jian heard her voice, he looked back at her and smiled and said, "I eat these things every day. This is specially brought to you Miss Ji. You are pregnant now, and eating more fruits is a good thing."

Xin Yao smiled and put down the fruit plate: "Old Jian is so busy, but he can actually take time to come here today. It seems that he has a deep relationship with his grandfather. I haven't heard you say it last time."

"It's not to say whether this friendship is deep or shallow. However, it was indeed some friendships many years ago. There have been occasional contacts in recent years, but not many times. This time I was invited, but Mr. Gu valued me seriously." Old Man Jian smiled and looked at Ji Xinyao again. He seemed to want to say something, but hesitated for a moment and did not speak.

Seeing that Mr. Jian seemed to have something to say, Xin Yao looked at him with inquiring eyes: "Mr. Jian, do you have something to say to the younger generation?"

"Miss Ji, the person I mentioned to you who looked a little like you last time is your mother, right?" he suddenly asked softly.

Xin Yao was stunned and nodded: "Her old man Jian, have you guessed it?"

"Haha, I guessed it a long time ago, but I'm not sure." Old Jian's eyes were a little meaningful. When he said this, he sighed faintly: "Your surname is Ji, it seems... she hasn't even come out of that person's world, and finally..."

He paused and shook his head again: "I have said a long time ago that the bystander Qing, she and Ji Qiuhang will not have any results, but they have to be obsessed with those past events."

"Do you know what happened to my mother back then?" The last time I heard what Mr. Jian said was as vague as Mr. Jian said, Xin Yao didn't dare to ask in depth. But seeing that Mr. Jian now knowing that she was Shan Xiaoou's daughter, she could say these words, her eyes lit up: "Mr. Jian, do you know what happened to my mother at that time, right?"

Mr. Jian looked at her: "Xiao'o...is she really dead?"

Xin Yao's face stuttered: "How do you know?"

Mr. Jian also turned his head in confusion and whispered: "I also find it strange that there have been many rumors from City Y recently. It is said that a young woman committed suicide in a building in City Y twenty-one years ago. It caused a sensation in the military district of a province there at that time, but the news was blocked very rigorously. Since it was a news that had been blocked for so long, how could it be spread overnight and reached City F?"

Xin Yao didn't understand, but when she heard Mr. Jian say this, she suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Xiao Nuan suddenly called her and asked her how she was doing recently and whether she was in a good mood. She also said that no matter what happened in the past, she must not influence her current happiness because of those past events. In short, there are many heart-wrenching and extremely comforting words.

At that time, Xin Yao thought something was wrong with Su Xiaonuan. Now it seems that... the news of the blockade of City Y that year was spread? Even City G had already spread?

Xiao Nuan accidentally saw the bloody photos of her mother after she committed suicide in the office, so Xiao Nuan guessed that it was her mother?

Ji Xinyao was also confused.

How could it be suddenly circulated?

This kind of thing would definitely not be done by the Ji family, it is obviously seeking death.

There are also people who visit her mother's cemetery recently. Is it because of these reasons? Could there be any good news reporters? Or are they not aware of some old friends who were scolding her mother?

Looking at Xin Yao's expression, Old Jian seemed to have no need for her answer, so he already knew the answer. He even sighed, looked at the blue and white porcelain in front of him, and stopped talking.

Ji Xinyao pondered for a while, thinking about Gu Nanxi quietly going to City Y some time ago. It must be that he had seen the news. In order to avoid her worry, he did not tell her, but just went to check the situation of City Y for her in person.

"Old Mr. Jian, can you tell me about my mother back then?"

Xin Yao looked at Mr. Jian and didn't seem to know the cause of Shan Xiaoou's death at all, but she had some knowledge of what happened in the years before her suicide. She was not very curious about her mother's past, but what happened over the past years made her feel that everything about her mother back then seemed to be a mystery.

"You were four years old the year she left, right?" Old Jian seemed to hesitate for a moment, then turned to look at her and said seriously.

Xin Yao nodded.

Mr. Jian also nodded: "That seems right. When she was with me, she was pregnant with you girl."

Speaking of this, Mr. Jian's eyes suddenly became very melancholy: "It's also my fault. At that time, I felt that Xiaoou was much younger than me. She had a bright future. I shouldn't have been stationed because of me, a man who was too many years older than her. But I was wrong. If I had been selfish back then, and with my feelings for Xiaoou, I took her out of Y City and let her leave Ji Qiuhang's bastard completely. Maybe she is still alive now and lives well, and the relationship between you... is the father and daughter. Even if it's just a nominal child, I believe that I will treat you better than Ji Qiuhang, at least not let you suffer."

Old Jian frowned, always sighing and shook his head: "I shouldn't have left back then, I really shouldn't..."

Xin Yao was suddenly moved by what Jian said, and her eyes became warm. I don’t know whether it was because of his feelings for his mother back then or because of what he said that he wanted to give her fatherly love.

Although she was destined to be destined to be destined, someone in this world once thought of giving her fatherly love, giving her mother and daughter a home, and giving her mother a happiness, which made her very pleased.

She smiled: "My mother missed you back then, which was also her regret. Maybe she would not be able to do this in this life and would continue again in the next life. You have not married for so many years, probably because of her, right?"

Old Jian laughed: "It's because of her."

Xin Yao said he was hoarse.

She suddenly felt that her mother was very sad. There was such a good person guarding her, caring for her, and loving her back then. Why did she have to be obsessed with that impossible person? She would rather die to show him the last time than look back at the truly warm person?

Once a woman becomes stupid, she is so pitiful and hateful.

Without wanting to mention these heavy topics, Xin Yao adjusted her mentality and suddenly thought of Shi Fang, and asked directly: "Do you know Shi Fang?"

When Mr. Jian heard this name, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then recalled it carefully, and then said, "I don't know you, but your mother said this name. This Shi Fang should be her good friend back then. She studied painting together in the United States and had a good relationship. She should talk about everything. I was also very surprised later. Although Shi Fang was not familiar with me, she also knew my feelings for Xiaoou. But after Xiaoou died, she didn't try to find me to tell me this."

"That's because Shi Fang was crazy. She was imprisoned for more than twenty years in a very hidden sanatorium in the United States," said Xin Yao.

Mr. Jian immediately looked at her in surprise: "It was also the same year when your mother committed suicide?"

Seeing Mr. Jian’s expression, he seemed to know something. Xin Yao did not hide those secrets this time, but nodded: “Yes, the same year.”

Old Jian turned his head and stopped looking at her, but walked slowly to the side, as if thinking about something.

"Do you know what happened back then? Why did my mother and Shi Fang commit suicide and go crazy? Was it a coincidence or someone murdered? Mr. Jian, do you know what?" Xin Yao hurriedly followed and asked quietly.

"If I guessed right..." 13acv.

Old Jian stopped, as if he was thinking about something, then paused, looked back at Ji Xinyao, and then frowned, with a little confused look on his face. He suddenly turned his head, looked around, looked at everything about the Gu family, and then he then turned his eyes on Ji Xinyao and her belly. His lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

Xin Yao was puzzled by his eyes, and even felt a sense of panic based on the woman's sixth sense. She also looked around and looked around, but didn't feel anything strange. She touched her face again: "What's wrong? Do I have any problems?"
