Chapter 239 [5000 words]
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?"
Mr. Jian shook his head: "No, actually I don't know much about your mother's things back then. If I really want to talk about her understanding, she was just displaced after she got pregnant and abandoned by her lover. Then I asked her to help me, which can be regarded as giving her a job that she can do during pregnancy. At that time, she hid a lot of her own things very deeply."
"To be honest, Xiaoou...I mean, you? Mom... has a proud body, but she has a low life experience. She has never talked to me about her family and parents. I only learned after spending a few months with her that she has a man she loved deeply, Ji Qiuhang. However, the man who had been in love with her for several years abandoned her, who was pregnant for status, fame, and many realistic things, and married the youngest daughter of the He family, who had a good status in the military and political circles at that time. I have seen He Manni. When she was young, she was a very beautiful, smart and very calculating woman, and Xiaoou..."
Mr. Jian sighed: "Xiaoou is very smart, but he just doesn't like to use those minds on his feelings. She firmly believes in the relationship between Ji Qiuhang and her, but in the end she hurt herself. If Xiaoou had started to guard against He Manni one day earlier, what would have happened next would not have happened. But she believed in He Manni too much and Ji Qiuhang too much. In the end, she was betrayed by the newly made friendship and abandoned by the loved ones."
Ji Xinyao could only smile lightly when she heard these past events of her mother: "In this way, Ji Qiuhang knew about my mother having a child at that time."
Mr. Jian frowned and pondered for a while: "No, I remember Xiaoou said that she only went to check up after Ji Qiuhang and He Manni opened their couple in the military region. At that time, Ji Qiuhang didn't know. Later, when Ji He and the other two got engaged, Xiaoou refused to give up. Before giving birth, she came to the door with a big belly and wanted to make sense, but at that time, He Manni was actually pregnant too."
Ji Xinyao's heart trembled. It turned out that her mother was so persistent.
"As for the Shi Fang you just mentioned," Mr. Jian hesitated for a moment before saying, "I know she was Xiaoou's very good sister at that time. They studied in the American oil painting class together when they were teenagers, and they were similar in age. I only met Shi Fang once. She and your mother have a very similar temperament. I heard that they had been sisters for many years at that time, and they often ate and lived together, so after a long time, their preferences were the same, and even the perfumes on them were the same. I can't understand this kind of love between women and women? People are even more intimate friendship, but now they are older and have more experiences, so they can understand that women and women are indeed as hard to part with as twin sisters when they are good."
"However, although your mother is weak on the surface, she is very strong and stubborn in her bones. She is like a hedgehog who cannot see the thorns. Everything is hidden in her heart. Unless she is absolutely sure, she will never talk about her own experiences. She said that she doesn't like to pretend to be weak and pitiful in front of others. The bubbles on her feet are all taken by herself. If she really loses, it is also her own problem. And Shi Fang, because of her excellent family situation since childhood, she has a cheerful personality. At that time..."
Speaking of this, Mr. Jian suddenly hesitated for a moment and looked at Ji Xinyao again: "At that time, Shi Fang had just had a relationship with Gu Yuanheng and was developing in his underground love."
Xin Yao knew about the matter between Shi Fang and Gu Yuanheng, and Xiu Li had already recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors. Mr. Jian had just met Xiu Li himself, but Mr. Jian mentioned Shi Fang's affairs back then, so hesitated like this?
"I heard that Shi Fang's father was a very authoritative agent of a domestic large-scale military equipment manufacturer back then. His family's property was very rich. Since the Shi family was in good condition and Shi Fang's personality was not introverted and weird, how could she be willing to be a small person for others? Although the Gu family is very powerful, Shi Fang who you describe like this should not be too lazy to think about it and make a small person for others."
The more Xin Yao thought about it, the more confused she became, so she simply asked.13acv.
However, Old Jian sighed again, shut up and stopped talking. After a while, he looked back and looked at the crowd outside the window, with a little sad look: "No matter how many things happen, I won't know."
Although he didn't know how her mother suddenly committed suicide back then, Mr. Jian must have known many things before that. From his expression, his eyes, and his actions, this was Ji Xinyao's professional habit. When communicating with others, he would notice everything about the other party. Mr. Jian's eyes flashed a little, and there was obviously something he didn't want to say.
Xin Yao hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is the matter between my mother and the Gu family?"
This was a question that she had been circling in her mind. The last time she was in the cemetery of Y City, she didn't dare to listen to what Shi Fang said. But after thinking about everything that happened, and Mr. Jian's desire to speak at this moment, she finally plucked up the courage to ask.
Old Jian didn't say anything. At this time, Mr. Gu walked in with a crutch and walked towards him with a smile: "Old Jian, why don't you know how you like my granddaughter-in-law? The two of them have been chatting here for a long time. What are they talking about? Let me talk to the old man and see what topics are there for you, the old and the young, so that I can learn too, otherwise I won't know how to communicate with young people in the future!"
As soon as he saw the old man coming, Xin Yao closed the expression on her face and smiled at the old man in a blink of an eye: "Grandpa, look at what you said, can your granddaughter-in-law talk to other old men for a few more words, and you will still be jealous?"
"No, this is my precious granddaughter-in-law. Lao Jian's son is not young anymore. He has always been successful in his career. He has made the Jian family a big business. He never saw that boy bring him a wife back. Look, Lao Jian is looking at you!" Old Master Gu squirted his mouth, smiling so much.
Mr. Jian immediately smiled and replied to him: "Yes, my son is thirty years old. He knows that he is busy with company affairs all day long and treats work as a meal. There are indeed many women who want to stick to him on weekdays, but he doesn't look at him half of his eyes. Alas, I haven't lived for many years, but that dead boy doesn't let me hold my grandson one day earlier. And you, Mr. Gu, are all the great-grandson coming out in a blink of an eye!"
Mr. Gu raised his eyebrows: "What, didn't your son have a girlfriend before? What's wrong? When did he get a separation?"
Seeing that the two old people started chatting here, Mr. Jian was completely inconvenient to say anything else, Xin Yao stepped aside and continued to work hard.
Maybe, what Shi Fang said at that time made her misunderstand. She didn't finish listening at that time, so she thought a lot. Maybe, maybe, after listening to Shi Fang's advice, things might not be like what she had broken out in her shallow consciousness. Maybe... In fact, Shi Fang's words were not directed at the Gu family...
********************************************************************************************
In the evening, after a busy afternoon, Xin Yao went back to her room to take a shower. After resting for more than an hour, she changed her clothes and planned to go downstairs to continue chatting with the old man and the group of old friends.
As soon as she opened the bedroom door, she saw Gu Nanxi standing outside the door and about to come in.
"Why are you here? Don't grandpa still have to accompany you?" Xin Yao asked in surprise.
Gu Nanxi sighed and walked into the bedroom. Xin Yao knew that he was chatting with a group of old men on that day, which was even more tired than being in the city hall. So she turned around and poured him a glass of warm water and handed it to him: "Give it, drink some water first, the wound on your body is just right, it's not OK to be too tired."
"It's okay, it's just some social events. Moreover, because I was seriously injured and recovered, I didn't drink a drop of wine tonight. Fortunately, Xiu Li had a good alcohol tolerance and helped me drink a lot on the table. However, all the wines of these two people were blocked by him alone. No matter how good the alcohol tolerance was, I just helped him back to the room to sleep for a while, and I came to see my wife before going downstairs."
As he said that, Gu Nanxi smiled and hugged her in her arms, her hands passing through her somewhat wet hair. Then, her fingers gently hooked the end of her shoulders, played with her fingers, and circled them one by one, as if she was extremely attached to the fragrance she had just taken a shower.
Xin Yao smiled at him and reached out to pat his hand: "Oh, your hair hasn't dried yet. You can continue to circle around like this. After you have sex, you will definitely be given a shape."
Gu Nanxi just smiled, let go of her hair, and then kissed her gently on her cheek: "Are you exhausted today? You're running inside and outside the house with a big belly. Usually, the old man likes to be quiet, so he didn't invite too many servants at home. Suddenly, more guests came, making your pregnant woman so busy that she didn't have time to sit down."
Xin Yao shook her head and chuckled: "No, walking more is good for the body. At most, it's a day after walking, and the soles of her feet hurt a little."
Gu Nanxi raised his eyebrows and immediately acted to pick up his wife's feet and see how tired he was. When Xin Yao saw him about to see, she hurriedly pushed him with a smile: "Oh, itchy~ Stop looking! I was talking about it! I was not so spoiled, I just walked a few steps! Nancy, I said, you almost brought me, this little local dog into a spoiled little Jingba, this is not possible!"
"I feel sorry for you." Gu Nanxi rubbed her hair.
"I know, my mother and grandpa are watching. I was afraid that I was too tired just now, so my mother kept asking me to come up and rest. Look, the whole family is busy accompanying the guests. I went back to the house for a while and took a shower. How comfortable it is~" Xin Yao smiled so satisfied, and suddenly kissed him "just": "Don't you still want to go down? Go quickly, I'll go down in a while."
As she said that, she got up from his arms, watched him drink water, thought for a while, and asked again: "You said that Xiuli was drunk too much? How was he? Did he vomit? I'll go and see him later."
"I didn't vomit. His wine tasted pretty good. Although he couldn't stand straight when he was drunk, he could still recognize the direction." Gu Nanxi smiled: "There is a smell of wine in his room. It's nothing if you want to go and see it, but don't take it for too long. The smell of cigarettes and alcohol that you smelled for too long was not good."
After that, Gu Nanxi went downstairs again. After Xin Yao waited for her hair to dry, she casually packed her hair on her head and went directly to Xiuli's room.
The building of the Gu family owner said it was big or small, but their bedrooms were all on the second floor, Xiuli's bedroom was in the innermost part, near the stairs on the other side. He originally lived on the third floor, but somehow, he moved to the second floor again. When Xin Yao walked over there, because the lights in the corridor were dim, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Wen Qing's figure there. She stopped immediately and looked at Wen Qing's sneaky look in confusion.
Wen Qing walked from nearby to this side, holding a small box that looked familiar to Xin Yao in her hand. When she walked here, she saw Ji Xinyao standing here. Wen Qing immediately raised her head, glanced at her proudly, then snorted again, and left as if no one was around.
Why is it weird?
Ji Xinyao hesitated for a while, thinking about Wen Qing's crazy situation in recent months, she thought about it and stopped taking it seriously. There was no need to go straight to Xiuli's room because she was in a bad mood.
The door of Xiuli's room was closed, so she turned the handle of the door. The door was not locked. She pushed the door open directly and quietly looked inside. There was only a soft-lit bedside lamp in the room, which was not dazzling. Xiuli was lying on the bed, but her clothes were still in her body, only her shoes were taken off and her quilt was covered. She sighed and pushed the door and walked in.
When she walked to the bed, she suddenly felt a gust of wind on the other side of the balcony, so she turned around and took a look. She saw that from the balcony on the upper side of the third floor to the balcony of his room on the second floor, the railings had just been renovated, and the fences around the semicircle were demolished. It was a bit dangerous to stand here. I heard that because the fence had lost paint, the old man simply said that he wanted to change to another type of fence, so he demolished it directly and would reinstall it this week.
Xin Yao thought about it, raised her hand and wanted to close the window on the balcony. Suddenly she heard the movement beside the window. When she turned around, she saw that Xiu Li turned over and felt uncomfortable. Half of the quilt that had been covered on her body fell to the ground.
She twitched the corner of her mouth and walked over quickly: "It's really, she's so old, why are she still like a child? She kicks the quilt while sleeping!"
While muttering habitually, she covered him with a blanket. But she suddenly smelled a strong fragrance in the room, and turned around to look for the source of the fragrance. She didn't notice that Xiu Li opened her eyes at this time.
Why did Xiuli suddenly have such a strong fragrance in her room?
Could it be that any servant doesn’t like the smell of wine in the room, so he lit incense?
But the smell was too strong. Just as a gust of wind blew from the balcony, the fragrance passed through her nose, otherwise she wouldn't have noticed it.
"Why are you here?" Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded after Xiu Li was drunk.
Ji Xinyao lowered her head and looked at him, and smiled gently: "What? You forgot that you used to drink with your friends when you were in college, and you were drunk like mud when you got home. Who served you like a young master and finally slept in the dark?"
Xiu Li frowned and struggled to sit up, but pressed her forehead with one hand and shook her head hard: "I've drunk too much, and those old guys' ways of persuading to drink are more ruthless than the other."
"Nonsense, how old are they? They have been drinking in the military and political circles for decades. At the table, they will be the trick of persuading others to have fun and pretending to be drunk after drinking a few sips. You are fighting with these old people in the world, which is really a face for grandpa." Ji Xinyao couldn't help laughing at him. Seeing that he was so uncomfortable that he was about to lift the quilt, he hurriedly reached out to help him: "What's wrong? Do you want to vomit? I'll help you to the bathroom."
Xiu Li shook his head and waved his hand: "I'll go by myself. You can go back and rest. I've been busy all day."
Yao was wise and said, "You are so drunk, not to mention that I told Nancy before I came, don't worry, he won't misunderstand anything, I'll help you over." Xin Yao smiled. At least she was her younger brother who had been dependent on each other for more than 20 years. No matter how cruel she said at the beginning, she couldn't bear to see him get drunk and feel so uncomfortable.
Xiu Li stood up and shook it for a while. Xin Yao reached out to help him: "I'll get you some hangovers for a while, otherwise your stomach will be uncomfortable at night."
