The search for the Gong family is overwhelming, but a person has been mysteriously missing for four years, and there is still no news. No one has even seen a similar figure. Do we still want to deceive ourselves and others
Shi Xiaonian looked at Luo Qi and said, "Madam, I thought you were waiting for him to come back."
Why is it necessary to determine death as soon as the four-year period is up? Why is it necessary to determine such a fact
As long as she can't see Gong Ou's body, she will think that he is still alive for the rest of her life, living somewhere in this world for some reason.
"Do you think I am refusing to wait?" Luo Qi looked at her and said, "It has been four years. Not to mention that you have exhausted the Xi family's inheritance until there is only an empty island. The Gong family has spent all its manpower and material resources. The number of people at home has been reduced, but there is still no whereabouts.”
"He'll be back."
Shi Xiaonian said.
"My husband said two years ago that now it's not about looking, but about waiting." Luo Qi said, her voice full of sadness, "If I hadn't persisted, he would have given up searching."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian lowered his eyes.
Now it’s not about looking, it’s about waiting. What a realistic statement.
After four years of searching for someone to find Numbness, the intensity of the search has been gradually reduced, and all that is left is to wait.
"Are you still looking? I heard that you decided to sell the island?"
Luo Qi asked her.
In the past few years, they have been looking for someone simultaneously, and Shi Xiaonian and Feng De have almost exhausted their personal assets.
Luo Qi was not unmoved by this.
"Um."
Shi Xiaonian said that she was looking for a buyer. Her mother left her a lot of private inheritance before her death. The White Sand Islands were her last remaining big asset.
"Stop it. Instead of wasting the money on futile search, it's better to keep it for the twins later." Luo Qi paused and added, "Besides, that is the last inheritance you have, and I don't think you will." Reluctant to sell."
How could it be possible
But she can't stop searching. Once she stops, she will feel that she has subconsciously determined that Gong Ou is dead. She doesn't want this.
There were tears on Luo Qi's eyelashes. She calmed down for a while before she said, "In recent years, financial crises have occurred frequently around the world. NE has been greatly affected. The storm is precarious. If it continues to develop, the money will continue to evaporate. . It will definitely not work if it goes on like this, so I am anxious to make a death determination for Gong Ou."
“…”
It turned out to be an economic consideration.
Shi Xiaonian was silent. She had no right to interfere on this point. Gong Jue and Luo Qi were Gong Ou's parents and they could take back NE.
"After NE is recovered, we will not ask for this property, but will distribute it equally to the twins." Luo Qi said, "You should be happy to hear this news."
In the past, she only wanted to keep the blood of the Gong family in the Gong family, and did not train Holy and Gong Kui according to the requirements of the Gong family's heirs, but now, she only has these twins left.
No matter what background the mother of the twins has, she must nurture them.
There should be no less for the twins.
"I don't want my two children to take on family responsibilities prematurely." Shi Xiaonian said.
"This is called inheritance. Gong Ou and you just don't understand this principle, so one disappeared and the other's family was destroyed."
Luo Qi said.
A person who is unwilling to rely on and take responsibility for his family will naturally have little power.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian's face turned pale.
No one would feel comfortable hearing this.
Luo Qi didn't mean to mock Shi Xiaonian when she said this. After all, four years had passed, and she had long lost her original hostility and targeting towards Shi Xiaonian.
And sometimes, Luo Qi felt that the only person around him who could talk to him was Shi Xiaonian.
Her husband had to manage many things, and the servants and housekeepers could not fully understand her feelings. Only Shi Xiaonian had the same feelings for Gong Ou and the twins as she did. The two of them were so involved that they had more words in common.
She looked at Shi Xiaonian's ugly face and realized that what she said was too strong. She coughed and said, "Should your store be closed?"
"I don't want to shut it down."
"NE will take it away soon."
“NE doesn’t need to be here, but my store will always be there.”
Shi Xiaonian said calmly and in a very insistent tone.
"Then it's up to you." Luo Qi said, taking a deep look at Shi Xiaonian with a lot of emotion, and finally said, "Mona is getting married, do you know?"
Shi Xiaonian nodded, "I saw the news. Miss Lancaster's wedding was low-key. I heard that the other party's family has a background of American political figures."
"It shows ambition."
Luo Qi said, with a hint of disdain in his tone.
Mona had said in front of her that she had been secretly in love with Gong Ou for five years, that she didn't hate him, and that she was willing to wait for him. But as it turned out, in the past two years, Mona and the American man had been dating frequently, and now they were getting married.
Shi Xiaonian didn't say anything, picked up the bag on the side, took out a flat gift box from it, and handed it to Luo Qi, "This is a New Year's gift for you."
Shi Xiaonian would bring her a gift every time she came from China.
The gifts are not particularly valuable, but each time there is a signature written on the corner of the box: Gong Ou.
Shi Xiaonian was giving gifts to Gong Ou and performing filial piety for Gong Ou.
Luo Qi took it and opened the gift box. Inside was a Chinese peacock green cheongsam. The soft texture and aged color made her eyes shine.
Luo Qi opened the cheongsam, and a proud peacock was embroidered on the cheongsam. The embroidery work was exquisite and complicated, and the peacock eyes were a pair of gemstones, so lifelike that it was as if she could feel the peacock about to spread its wings.
"Did you draw this peacock template?"
Luo Qi asked.
"yes."
Shi Xiaonian responded.
"You are the best at this skill. Don't be in a hurry when it comes to painting. Do it well. In time, you will have your own achievements." Luo Qi put away her cheongsam with satisfaction and rarely praised her.
Shi Xiaonian sat there and lightly twitched the corners of her lips.
"Pour Miss Xi a cup of black tea."
Luo Qi said to the servant on the side.
"yes."
Servant goes down.
Luo Qi sat there, looking down at the beautiful cheongsam, dispelling some of the sadness about her death. She looked at Shi Xiaonian's clean and calm face.
Shi Xiaonian's expression has become lighter and lighter over the past few years, and she is completely calm.
Except when she gets a little more excited when talking about Gong Ou, she always looks calm the rest of the time.
"Have you met the twins?" Luo Qi asked.
"I've seen it before." Shi Xiaonian said calmly, "They are studying."
"Holy looks more and more like Gong Ou." Speaking of her grandson, Luo Qi had a smile on her face. "He is just like Gong Ou. He is talented and can master everything he learns. In the future, the Gong family will be under his control." It will definitely be more brilliant on your hands.”
Holy is only 5 years old and has already thought about inheriting the Gong family.
The pressure in the Gong family has really started since childhood. Thinking about this, Shi Xiaonian became more determined to bring the twins back to China for the New Year. She said, "Madam, I want to bring the twins back to China for the New Year."
"What?" Luo Qi was picking up the cup to drink tea. Hearing the words, he was stunned for a moment, thinking he didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"
"I want to take them to the outside world."
"It's not safe outside, no." Luo Qi refused directly. She regarded the twins as treasures in the palm of her hand. How could she allow them to be in danger at all? "Besides, there are too many Chinese people. If something happens to the two children, Accident, can you bear this responsibility?"
When Xiaonian was about to insist, he heard a burst of cheerful footsteps.
"Grandma, grandma!" Gong Kui had been eavesdropping outside for a long time. When she heard Luo Qi's refusal, she couldn't hold it in anymore. She rushed in with her skirt in hand, climbed up on the sofa and clung to Luo Qi, "Grandma, you Let me and Holy go, children need to go out and have fun, otherwise they will become nerds."
Luo Qi was amused and patted her head, "Why are you still so unstable? Learn from your brother more. If grandpa sees it, he will punish you again."
"That's why I prefer grandma." Gong Kui is a top-notch flatterer.
“…”
Luo Qi smiled very happily, hugging Gong Kui and reluctant to let go.
Gong Kui hid in Luo Qi's arms and blinked at Shi Xiaonian with an expression that said everything was mine. Shi Xiaonian couldn't help but smile and let her go.
…
Two days later, Shi Xiaonian successfully took the twins on a plane to China.
Luo Qi originally didn't agree to let the twins leave. She didn't know if Gong Kui's coquettishness was helpful or what happened. After staying for two days, Gong Jue and Luo Qi suddenly ordered someone to send a message to her, agreeing that she should take the children and leave together.
This was an unexpected gain for Shi Xiaonian. She was originally prepared to fight a protracted war in the Gong family, but she didn't expect to be let go so easily.
She thought that maybe time and the cute twins had softened the two old people.
On the plane, Shi Xiaonian turned around. Gong Yao and Gong Kui both fell asleep on their seats. When Gong Yao fell asleep, his face became more romantic and innocent, and Gong Kui even drooled with her mouth open. .
Shi Xiaonian stood up and walked over, covering Gong Yao with the slipped blanket.
She squatted on the ground and looked at the two beautiful children quietly.
very nice.
This time she was able to spend a week with her children, and they followed her to live in S city.
Miyao, it’s time for you to come back. If you don’t come back, you will really miss the most innocent and happy period for children.
At two o'clock in the morning, their plane arrived in S city.
City S was quiet and without disturbance in the early morning, and the vehicles on the road were driving quietly.
Feng De drove the car on the road and glanced back in the rearview mirror. He saw Shi Xiaonian and the two children sitting in the back seat of the car, both of whom had fallen asleep. There was fatigue between his brows and eyes, but there was a curl at the corner of his lips. smile.
It's been four years, and it's rare to see Shi Xiaonian so happy.
On the plane back, I even talked to him a lot. The child was indeed the little angel who healed everything.
Feng De drove into the science and technology park and parked opposite the NE Building.
The upper floors of this building are filled with offices, but downstairs is a special gallery, opened by Shi Xiaonian.
She opened a gallery opposite the NE Building. This location is not in a downtown area. The foot traffic is only working white-collar elites, so the business is naturally very average. (To be continued)
