Just as Xia Xiaowan expected, the news that she accompanied Gu Nianbin to the banquet was on the headlines of the entertainment section of the Morning Post the next day. In the photo, she smiled and looked at Pan with an elegant temperament, and she was more energetic than usual. Gu Nianbin next to him was smiling, looking gentle and elegant, with deep eyes like the sea, high nose and thin lips, and slightly raised resolute chin.
Xia Xiaowan took a sip of coffee, spread the newspaper on the dining table, and stared at the photo in a silent trance.
Du Xiaoxian also saw this photo.
Standing in the corridor outside the restaurant, she saw the madam holding a newspaper and telling the master how the young master and Miss Xia were so good together. She was very curious, why the young master and Miss Xia were published in the newspaper? After the madam helped the master go upstairs, she sneaked into the dining room, turned out the newspaper, and sure enough, she saw the eye-catching photo.
It's like a pair of golden boys and girls, so right! Du Xiaoxian was fascinated by this, and abruptly snatched the newspaper with one hand from the side, which shocked her greatly, and turned around to see that it was Lanzhi.
Seeing that she was frightened, Lanzhi laughed happily, and then teased her: "After all, I'm a schoolboy, and I'm starting to read newspapers?" As she spoke, she glanced at the newspaper in her hand, and said, "Huh!" "Isn't this the young master and Miss Xia?"
When she called out, the cook and maid who were busy in the kitchen also ran out to read, and several people chattered around the newspaper:
"Master and Miss Xia are really a good match."
"I think our young master is more outstanding."
"Miss Xia is not bad either. I think she's pretty, and she matches our young master very well."
"Miss Xia doesn't come to the house often, so they are dating outside!"
"The young master is not too young, he would have already become a father in our place, now Madam can rest assured."
"The young master is just too busy to take care of his own affairs."
"It's not all," the speaker lowered his voice, "Do you know? There is a photo of a girl on the table in the young master's room. It is said that it is the young master's first love. The young master has not looked for it all these years because he has always been looking for it. With her."
"Really? Did you see the picture?"
"One time I went in to deliver things and took a look. It was very beautiful! But it still looks a bit like this Miss Xia. You think the young master is looking for a girlfriend just like his first love, right?"
Lanzhi beckoned Du Xiaoxian over, and asked in a low voice, "You clean the room for the young master every day, have you seen the photos?"
Du Xiaoxian nodded, of course she had seen it, but in fact she had always thought that Xia Xiaowan was the girl in the photo, because she really looked like it! Hearing what they said today, I knew it was not.
A Ling came over: "What are you all doing here? Hurry up and do something, I can see Uncle Xiao coming this way."
When everyone heard this, they all dispersed, and A Ling stopped Du Xiaoxian: "Xiaoxian, you go back to the house for a rest, you got up early in the morning and have been busy until now, you don't need to do things in the kitchen, you do it, they There's nothing to do."
Du Xiaoxian smiled embarrassedly: "Sister A Ling, it's okay, anyway, I'm free. Besides, I haven't done much when I've been running around all the time. I'll do more during the weekend."
"You are going to school, not to play!" A Ling said: "If you do your job well, just read your own books. Leave them alone, and they won't give you a salary anyway."
Du Xiaoxian just smiled, but stood still, she still wanted to help with work, today the kitchen is cleaning, everyone is busy, how can she be idle
A Ling was a little helpless, this little girl was so kind-hearted, she did all the dirty work on herself, and those few were eager for someone to do it, so they would do their foreign work by the side. It's all in my eyes, and I feel very worthless for the little girl. Maybe it's because she took care of Du Xiaoxian on the first day he came, which is also a kind of fate. As long as she can take care of it, she will try her best to take care of Du Xiaoxian.
Seeing that she didn't leave, A Ling dragged her back to the room and sat on the chair: "Are you sleeping or studying?"
Du Xiaoxian thought for a while and said, "Let me review."
A Ling said: "Then you go upstairs, didn't the young master allow you to go to his study to study? It's small here, there is no desk, they are noisy when they come back, go, I will take you up."
Du Xiaoxian has always regarded A Ling as her eldest sister, so she didn't like her, so she obediently took her schoolbag and followed her to the study on the second floor.
A Ling settled Du Xiaoxian down, gave some instructions, and then went out.
Du Xiaoxian sat on the big chair, took the photo on the table in his hand and looked at it carefully, he really looked like that Miss Xia. She doesn't know which one the young master likes, but she remembers what those people said just now. They said that the young master is not young and should have started a family long ago, but the young master is too busy... Du Xiaoxian thinks that the young master is busy with those things. For her sake, send her to school, teach her to do her homework, and eat with her. She takes up the young master's time, so the young master has no time to spend with Miss Xia. This is not good.
Du Xiaoxian is a sensible little girl, after much deliberation, she decided to go out bravely from tomorrow, go to and from school by herself, and let the young master save time to date Miss Xia.
She kept her promise, when school was over on Monday, she mixed in the crowd, avoided Xiao Ding's sight, and sneaked away.
When she came from home, her second aunt gave her 50 yuan to spend on the road, all of which were scattered tickets. When she went out in the morning, thinking about taking a bus, she picked a two-yuan bag and put it in her pocket, only to find out when she got on the bus. She had to invest two yuan at a time, and had to change trains to get home after getting off the car. She had no money, so she had to walk. She is not afraid of walking. When she was at home, it was no problem at all to walk down the mountain road of more than ten miles. The main roads in the city are smooth and there are all kinds of shops on the street. It is not bad to go all the way back.
She walked around with her schoolbag on her back and looked around. When she saw something beautiful and interesting, she would stop and take a look. If she felt tired, she would sit on the flower bed by the street and rest her feet. It felt very comfortable.
She was quite content, Xiao Ding waited for a long time at the school gate, but did not see her come out. In the end, I had to run to the classroom to look for it, but the classroom doors were locked and everyone had already left. Xiao Ding was dumbfounded on the spot, what's going on? Where did Du Xiaoxian go? That's the benefactor of the Gu family, the young master values her so much, if she is lost, what's the deal? I quickly searched inside and outside the school, but there was still nothing.
Xiao Ding was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, he had no choice but to call Gu Nianbin. Gu Nianbin was explaining the matter to Zhou Ting, when he heard this, he stood up abruptly, which startled Zhou Ting. The boss, who was always calm in times of danger, now his face was as deep as water, and there was even a gleam in his eyes. A trace of panic.
Zhou Ting also trembled in her heart, is the cooperation with IMB gone? Or is the company's stock plummeting? But when the company was most difficult in the past few years, I never saw the boss like this!
But in an instant, Gu Nianbin calmed down, and said to the phone: "You call home and ask Uncle Xiao, I'll call and ask the teacher, and we'll see how the situation goes."
As soon as Zhou Ting heard this, she knew it was Du Xiaoxian's business. She wanted to ask about the situation, but she opened her mouth a few times but didn't open her mouth. Does the boss's face smell so bad
Gu Nianbin took the phone and looked through the numbers while hurried out. Zhou Ting chased to the door, and only saw his long legs before he stepped into the elevator room. She blinked and stared at the notepad in her hand in a daze. Just halfway through the matter, did she just leave the stall like this? Du Xiaoxian is such a big man, so he can't just throw it away, right? How come you are in such a hurry? With doubts, she slowly returned to her seat and sat down. She took a pen and wrote four words: plot reversal.
Gu Nianbin called the principal directly, and when he heard that the person was lost, the principal was also startled, and hurriedly threw the teacher out and searched around the school.
Xiao Ding's feedback did not come back either. How could it be possible to go back? She doesn't know the way at all! Gu Nianbin drove slowly along the street, looking around anxiously, where did he go? She didn't know the way, she was timid, she didn't dare to ask people when she lost her way, she looked weak, did she meet a bad person? Or something unexpected
He parked the car on the side of the road, called his acquaintances at the police station, and asked if there was any criminal case after four o'clock this afternoon? The answer was no, I didn’t give up, and called the traffic police again to ask if there was a car accident after 4:00 pm. The answer is yes. When he heard it, his heart was in his throat. When he heard it again, there were two car accidents, one was an old lady with a broken leg bone, and the other was a middle-aged woman with minor injuries. Gu Nianbin let out a sigh of relief, it's okay, as long as there are no such accidents. But... He suddenly remembered whether Du Xiaoxian had been kidnapped. They are such a wealthy family, once their population disappears, they can't get rid of kidnapping and blackmail. Is it because the kidnappers haven't called yet? When he thought of this, he was completely confused. He didn't even think that Du Xiaoxian was just a little maid, so why did the kidnappers kidnap her
When his mind was in a mess, someone knocked on the car window, and he lowered the car window a bit later. It was a young traffic policeman who saluted him: "Sir, parking is not allowed here, please leave immediately."
Gu Nianbin watched his lips move, but didn't hear what he was saying. He looked at the police badge on his arm and said slowly, "How long will it take to get a call?"
The traffic policeman was taken aback, he looked tall, rich and handsome, why did he look in a daze, could it be that he was on drugs
"Sir, please show me your driver's license."
After all, Gu Nianbin is a person who does big things, no matter how messed up his mind is, the trance will only last for a moment, he immediately wakes up, opens the car door and wants to explain to the traffic police, but as soon as he stands up straight, he sees the bench across the street, Du Xiaoxian sat there quietly with her schoolbag in her arms and her head down.
Gu Nianbin didn't even close the car door, and ran away. The traffic policeman was stunned for a moment, and ran after him. As soon as he ran to the middle of the road, he saw that tall, rich and handsome guy pulling a little girl sitting by the side of the road into his arms and hugging her.
Oops, it looks like this guy is hallucinating from an overdose! Quietly pulled out the baton and shouted: "Let go of that girl!"
Gao Fushuai let go, but a dramatic scene appeared. The little girl was trembling with fear, but she held Gao Fushuai behind with her arms outstretched, and stared at him timidly but bravely.
