A row of cars stopped in front of the cemetery. The driver got out of the car and opened the door diligently. Shi Xiaonian lowered his head and walked down, holding a few photo frames in his hands. Gong Ou walked down from the other side, carrying a bouquet of flowers casually, his face expressionless. He glanced expressively at the entrance to the cemetery.
The wind in the cemetery is desolate and solemn.
When Xiao Nian walked in, the bodyguard ran in first, kicking aside all the branches along the way to clear a path.
"At No. 202."
A bodyguard reminded Shi Xiaonian.
"Thanks."
Shi Xiaonian nodded, looking at the number plate next to the tombstone and looking in, it was easy to find the monument belonging to Shi Di. The photo of Shi Di on the monument smiled sweetly and generously, with a pair of big eyes looking straight ahead.
A smile I haven’t seen in a long time.
"Xiao Di, I'm here to see you."
Shi Xiaonian looked at Shi Di's photo and smiled slightly, and was about to place the photo frame in front of the tombstone, but unexpectedly saw a bouquet of flowers already placed in front of the tombstone.
The flowers seemed to have been there for a few days, and the petals were a little withered and had signs of being beaten by rain.
Shi Xiaonian was stunned, "Why are there flowers?"
Gong Ou stood next to her, glanced down, and said indifferently, "There are flowers when someone comes to worship."
"But I erected Xiaodi's monument here without telling anyone." Shi Xiaonian said in surprise, "It's impossible for anyone to come to visit the tomb. Could it be that the strong wind blew from in front of other monuments?"
Gong Ou glanced at her, slowly leaned down and picked up a square flat stone from the bouquet, "I'm sorry, your guess is wrong."
In order to prevent the flowers from being blown away, the people who came to worship also pressed a stone, which has left traces.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was stunned, looking down at the bouquet of flowers, "Who could have been here? Adoptive father and mother? Qianchu?"
Could it be that they are back
Do your adoptive parents already know the news of Shi Di's death? Or has Mu Qianchu come back
"have no idea."
Gong Ou's eyes were a little colder.
Mu Qianchu is back
Shi Xiaonian frowned. It was not convenient for her to bend down and asked Gong Ou to place flowers and photo frames in front of the tombstone. She looked at the difference between this monument and other monuments. It was obvious that this monument was recently decorated. It had been cleaned, and there wasn't even a speck of moss on it.
Who is the one
It is definitely impossible for those relatives of the Shi family. The news of Shi Di's death has not been made public, and it is impossible for fans to come after hearing the news.
Are they foster parents? There has been no news from them for a long time, but if they come back they will probably live in the old house, but there is no sign of them coming back in the old house.
There may be only one left.
Mu Qianchu.
He is back.
When he came back, he at least said he was safe now, which was pretty good.
Shi Xiaonian thought this, and turned to look at Gong Ou, only to see Gong Ou staring coldly at the tombstone in front of him, his thin lips pursed, and after a moment, he raised his hand.
A bodyguard immediately stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Gong, what are your orders?"
"Go and check if Mu Qianchu is back."
Gong Ou said coldly.
"Yes, Mr. Gong."
The bodyguard retreated.
Shi Xiaonian looked at his stern side face and couldn't help but said, "There's no need to check. It's up to him whether he comes back or not."
"What, are you afraid that I will deal with him?"
Gong Ou snorted coldly, his tone as sour as he wanted.
"If you wanted to deal with him, you would have dealt with him long ago, why wait until now." Shi Xiaonian knew Gong Ou too well, she looked at him sideways, with a hint of teasing, "Are you afraid that he will come to me? "
Gong Ou, who was exposed, glared at her coldly, "Am I such a weak person?"
Who is Gong Ou
Who is that person named Mu that can make him nervous? joke.
Shi Xiaonian smiled and shrugged noncommittally, saying, "You can tell it yourself, I'm too lazy to make excuses for you."
"Shi Xiaonian!"
Gong Ou glared at her.
Shi Xiaonian did not reply to his words, but turned to look at the tombstone in front of her, smiled faintly, and said softly, "Xiao Di, has Qianchu come back? Then you must be very happy."
Facing her and a dead man talking to himself, Gong Ou frowned tightly, staring down at the bouquet of flowers that didn't look pleasing to his eye.
"I haven't told my adoptive parents about you, nor have I gone to find them. I think it would be better if they didn't know, right? At least, they will feel that you are alive and they can live healthily. "Shi Xiaonian said softly, and then said, "I went back to the old house. In fact, it was so empty that there was nothing left. However, I can still find the memories of my childhood."
She remembered that when she was little, she grabbed the vine and climbed downstairs. Shi Di also followed the same example and climbed down by grabbing the vine. She even fell a little and didn't even bother to cry, so she took her to play with him.
At that time, they were young, too naive, and didn't quite understand the favoritism between adults. In fact, the sisters still had such a happy time.
"The old vine is still there, but you can't climb it anymore. If you try to climb it, you will definitely fall."
Shi Xiaonian looked at Shi Di's photo and said that Shi Di's sweet smile was the best response to her.
A gust of wind blew by, bringing with it the warmth of the sun.
"Let's go."
Gong Ou said coldly, resisting the urge to kick the bouquet of flowers aside.
Shi Xiaonian nodded, wiped the photo on the tombstone with a tissue, wiped it clean, then turned around and followed Gong Ou away, reaching out to hold his.
The group of people slowly walked out of the cemetery, the wind was blowing.
Walking all the way back, Shi Xiaonian took Gong Ou to hang out in several places where he used to play, "I always walked this road after school back then. Now the roads have been built. At that time, this road was still paved with stones. , when it rains, there will be potholes and mud everywhere.”
"Do you want to walk on your own when you get home?"
Gong Ou said he didn't understand.
"Our family is not a high-ranking Gong family. How can we have luxury cars in and out?" Shi Xiaonian said.
The concrete road is not wide, with tall trees on both sides, their branches covering the sky. The sunlight falls through the gaps in the leaves and reflects mottledly on the road. From a distance, the whole road looks like a long of tunnel.
Shi Xiaonian held Gong Ou's arm and walked slowly by the roadside. Gong Ou glanced down at her and said, "Then you should come to me earlier. My servants are all better off than you."
"If I had come to you earlier, would you have been nice to me?" Shi Xiaonian asked.
"Why not?" Gong Ou stared at her, with a pair of deep black eyes, and a particularly serious expression on his handsome face, "If I don't treat you well, who will I treat well?"
When Xiaonian met his eyes, a little light fell on his brow, which was so sexy that it was breathtaking.
She stared at him for a long time before she came back to her senses, hugged his arm and continued walking forward, suddenly laughing out loud.
"What are you laughing at?"
Gong Ou asked.
"I just can't imagine what it would be like if we lived together when we were children." Shi Xiaonian said with a smile, "It must be a crazy thing."
He was so easy to get angry, and her temper when she was a child was not as calm as she is now. Why don't the two of them fight every day when they are together
I'm afraid the roof will be blown off by them.
"Impossible!" Gong Ou glared at her, "If we had lived together when we were children, you would never have fallen in love with someone named Mu!"
Where does the confidence come from.
Shi Xiaonian smiled and said nothing.
"Why are you laughing again?" Gong Ou turned her body around suddenly, "You want to say that you liked people named Mu when you were a child, right? Why was your taste so bad when you were a child? You are a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. !”
Another personal attack
"Meeting President Gong Da has opened my eyes to the world."
Shi Xiaonian stood in front of Gong Ou and said seriously.
"Are you praising me?"
Gong Ou frowned.
No matter how you listen to it, it is not meant as a compliment.
A car passed quickly behind her, and a gust of wind blew. The corners of Gong Ou's clothes were raised, and the windbreaker unfolded in an arc to open an embrace for her.
Shi Xiaonian looked down at his fluttering clothes, pulled him around, and continued walking forward, "Okay, okay, it's useless to say this. It's impossible to go back to childhood."
“…”
Gong Ou followed her forward in silence, looking up into the distance.
It's a long, long road that seems like it will never end.
"There used to be a canteen over there, but now it has been demolished and only a pile of wood is left." Shi Xiaonian pointed to a place and continued to introduce everything about his childhood to Gong Ou.
"How on earth did you take care of Mu Qianchu?"
Gong Ou's faint voice came from above her head.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian admired Gong Ou. After many twists and turns, he has not forgotten this matter.
It wasn't that she didn't want to say it, it was because she was afraid that he would think too much and become jealous and uncomfortable.
All the way back to the old house, Gong Ou was still struggling with this issue with her. Shi Xiaonian didn't want to lie, so she could only hesitantly tell him the range he could accept, but Gong Ou obviously didn't believe it.
There was nothing she could do.
The two of them were sitting at the door of the old house, chatting in the sun. If you ignored the doorkeepers outside the door, they looked like an ordinary retired couple.
When the sun was setting in the west, Shi Xiaonian finally couldn't stand the attack of Gong Ou's questions and said before the sun went down, "I'm going to make dinner."
After saying that, she slipped into the kitchen as if she was running away.
It seems that this trip back to her hometown has to end early. Gong Ou and she did not come with the same purpose at all. For her, this is the place where she grew up. For Gong Ou, this is only a place: where her love rival is. ! The love rival is there! The love rival is there!
Shi Xiaonian shook her head and started to work in front of the kitchen counter. Mr. Gong came in to help, and she said, "Mr. Gong, please play some of the latest international news."
"Yes, Master."
Mr. Palace's search was very fast, and the electronic sound soon started to sound, and the news was broadcast to her bit by bit.
In the news, Shi Xiaonian heard a lot of surrounding news about Lancaster. Although it seemed that they were all business news related to the expansion of the family, it was enough to prove that Lancaster had done a lot more.
This family has always kept a low profile in front of others, but recently, even she felt that Lancaster appeared in the media's sight more and more frequently, and the smear campaign against Gong Ou never stopped.
Gong Ou couldn't make a single mistake in his errand, otherwise Lancaster would take advantage of him. (To be continued)
