The sky was bright, the wall clock in the living room rang seven times, and Gu Si was doing simple tidying up in the living room.
After taking a shower, Gu Tingyun changed into a long blue nightgown, and he didn't feel tired at all. He returned to the study and wrote something in the study.
Not long after, someone knocked on the door.
Gu Tingyun did not raise his head, his voice was clear and smooth.
"Come in."
Gu Si entered the door and said, "Seventh Master."
Gu Tingyun put down the pen in his hand and asked, "What happened yesterday?"
He looked up at Gu Si with deep eyes.
Gu Si reported: "Someone is following Miss Tang. We have noticed it for a long time, but because we don't know the depth, we haven't taken action yet. It's just that Miss Tang discovered them and asked Shen Qing to arrest them."
Miss Tang is also very aggressive.
He said: "Now the person is in Shen Qing's hands. I know that he locked the person in the underground warehouse of the factory."
Gu Tingyun smiled faintly and asked, "Have someone keep an eye on him. If Shen Qing can't do it, help him."
Gu Si immediately reported it.
Gu Tingyun asked again: "Do you have any clues about who he is?"
He had people following Tang Jiao all the time, but they just didn't let her notice and followed them secretly. If something happens, I won't take action unless it's critical.
Gu Sidao: "We don't know yet, but Miss Tang herself cannot cause these troubles. It should be related to us. I will continue to pay attention."
Gu Tingyun nodded and said, "Okay, let's get down."
Gu Si replied, and then looked at Gu Tingyun. Master Qi's face was a little pale, and he advised: "Master Qi, you have been playing mahjong all night, why don't you take some rest?"
Gu Tingyun smiled: "It doesn't matter."
He didn't sleep for several days, but it didn't matter.
He said: "Go back to Peking tomorrow and handle the matter today."
Gu Si couldn't persuade him, so he just said: "Master Qi's injury has not healed yet, and it is no better than before."
After a pause, he added: "I'm going to handle the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, and arrange for two more people to follow Miss Tang?"
Gu Tingyun was indifferent and very calm: "No need. Shen Qing is not stupid, he will know what to do. We don't need to do anything extra at this time. I don't want to disturb Tang Jiao's life."
Gu Si immediately replied yes and went out.
Gu Tingyun rubbed his temples, lowered his head and continued writing.
Yang Xiuyan is smart and knows how to memorize cards, but he doesn't know that he can do the same. Moreover, he had never lost since he could play mahjong and cards. What he was doing today was just suppressing his desires and playing with Tang Jiao.
If there were no early losses, how could the subsequent wins be even more ecstatic!
Gu Tingyun lamented that Tang Jiao was childish, but he felt warm in his heart.
Little girl!
The phone rang suddenly. This was the study's dedicated line, and not many people knew about it.
Gu Tingyun answered the phone and said calmly, "Hello."
There was a deep voice on the other end of the phone. It was none other than Huo Xiao.
Huo Xiao: "My foster father asked me to ask when Master Qi plans to return to Peking."
Huo Xiao and Gu Tingyun can't be called enemies, but they can't be called friends either.
There is a transaction between them, but there may not be trust.
The relationship between them is even more indifferent.
Gu Tingyun smiled calmly, and then said in a clear voice: "We will arrive at noon the day after tomorrow."
He didn't mince words, he explained straightforwardly, and then said: "There is no need to come and pick him up."
Huo Xiao sneered and said yes.
He didn't want to pick it up at first.
"You think too much."
Gu Tingyun said coldly: "Always say what needs to be said."
Huo Xiao nodded: "That makes sense. Also, I wonder... will Huo Ziqi come back together this time?"
He really had a business-like attitude.
Gu Tingyun lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Yes."
Just one word.
Gu Tingyun curled his fingers slightly on the table. He lowered his eyes, as if thinking about something, and suddenly said: "Huo Xiao."
Huo Xiao responded and waited for him to continue.
Gu Tingyun smiled and said slowly: "Did you tell Tang Jiao about Zhu Xiuping?"
Huo Xiao: "Yes."
He admitted it bluntly and said directly: "But I think this is between me and Tang Jiao, right? It has nothing to do with you."
Gu Tingyun smiled vaguely, but he really didn't.
He said: "I'm just confirming. If it's you who said it, I can understand it. If it's someone else, I have to consider their motives."
Huo Xiao said with a playful sarcasm: "I didn't expect that I would be so highly regarded in Master Qi's heart, more so than the people around you. What? Have you found that people in Hongmen are not trustworthy at all now?"
Gu Tingyun smiled coldly and said, "I never trust anyone."
He hung up the phone and his smile grew colder.
Some people look gentle and passionate, but are cold and desolate inside; some people look cold and ruthless, but they are really on fire inside.
Gu Tingyun thought that he was the former; Huo Xiao was the latter.
He looked at the lighter on the table, picked it up casually, and lit it repeatedly. After a while, he laughed half-heartedly.
****
"Peng, don't cheat, fool, fool..." In the dark room, with the carved European-style bed, the girl murmured louder and louder, "Ah... I didn't cheat!"
As if it was a terrible nightmare, Tang Jiao struggled to break free and sat up.
Tang Jiao looked at the furnishings in the room and then realized that everything just happened was just a dream.
She is a girl who wakes up with a fright if she dreams of cheating. Big beads of sweat kept falling down. Tang Jiao wiped them away and then stood on the ground with her bare feet.
She walked directly to the window and opened the curtains casually. It was a little dark outside the window and she couldn't tell what time it was.
After playing mahjong all night last night, Tang Jiao felt exhausted!
But fortunately, maybe it's because I'm young, but it's relieved quickly.
When I woke up, although I was a little unconscious, the fatigue was completely gone.
Maybe he heard her movement, and there was a knock on the door, "Miss, are you awake?"
This is Yotsuba's voice.
Tang Jiao's voice was soft because she had just woken up. She said, "You're awake, come in."
At the same time as Siye opened the door, Tang Jiao opened the window, and a gust of cold wind rushed in, which chilled her heart.
Tang Jiao felt that she was completely awake all of a sudden and no longer felt sleepy.
When Siye saw Tang Jiao like this, she immediately stepped forward to close the window. She complained: "The weather is so cold, Miss, you can't make trouble. What if you have typhoid fever?"
Very worried.
Tang Jiao blinked innocently and said, "I just want to wake up."
Yotsuba looked down and took a breath. Their young lady didn't even wear shoes. Her little white jade-like feet were just stepping on the carpet naked. Although it wasn't cold, it wasn't suitable either.
Siye immediately pulled Tang Jiao to put on her shoes: "Miss, you can't be careless. It's easy to get cold in spring, so you really can't do this."
She kept thinking about it, pulled Tang Jiao to put on her shoes, and said: "I have prepared warm honey water for you, you can drink it later."
Tang Jiao smiled lightly and complained: "Siye, you look like an old woman."
When Siye heard this, she almost fainted. She said aggrievedly: "I am doing the best for the lady, but the lady still talks about me."
Looking at her aggrieved face, Tang Jiao wanted to laugh inexplicably. She said, "It's my fault. It's my fault. Siye, don't be angry. Now, don't you think I'm wearing this?"
Then he smiled brightly.
Siye laughed and said, "Miss, this is the right thing to do. You have to take good care of your body and don't act recklessly."
Tang Jiao was convinced as she started thinking again.
She quickly changed the subject and asked, "What time is it? I'm so sleepy that I don't know what night it is."
Tang Jiao immediately said, "It's past five o'clock."
After thinking about it again, I added: "It's five o'clock in the evening."
Tang Jiao looked at Siye helplessly and said, "You think I don't know?"
Sure enough, I slept for another day.
Tang Jiao rubbed her shoulders and said, "My mother and the others are still resting?"
Everyone played all night last night. I originally thought that her mother would be tired, but she didn't expect that Shen Lianyi was the most energetic one. She hadn't played for a long time, but when she occasionally played like this, she won the most, but she was completely satisfied. Momentum.
It seems that I have regained my original feeling, and I am really beaming.
She wasn't paying attention when she was playing. After she came back, Tang Jiao thought about it. Although her mother didn't win as many times as she did, she must have won the most money. After all, she is Hu's bigger one, especially after they switched places. Her mother sat in Gu Tingyun's house.
Tang Jiao raised her lips slightly, "What an old fox!"
Gu Tingyun's scheming is about to reach the sky.
She didn't usually see her mother talk about how good Gu Tingyun was, but she came back yesterday and talked about it endlessly.
What brand is like character.
Drop it!
What's wrong with her brand
"My wife went out just now. Xiao Xiuyan just woke up. My wife sent him home."
Tang Jiao said oh, how could she forget that Yang Xiuyan also stayed with them all night.
The little guy gave her directions very lively and without feeling sleepy at all.
"He actually got up earlier than me."
Yotsuba laughed.
At this time, Shen Lianyi had arrived at Jining Night School, which was not far from their home. It is convenient to have Lao Wang driving.
Yang Congwen was cooking at home. When he heard his son's voice, he stood up immediately and said hello awkwardly.
In fact, he is not a person who gets nervous easily, but for some reason, he gets extremely nervous every time he sees Shen Lianyi.
He scratched his head, thinking maybe it was because he liked it, right
When he didn't have any random thoughts, she looked very calm.
But not anymore.
It would be extremely tense if the two of them were alone.
Probably because I like it, I feel extra nervous and find it difficult to control myself.
"Dad, I'm back."
Yang Xiuyan held the small bag and said, "I brought food back, you don't have to do it."
Yang Congwen felt even more embarrassed inexplicably. He pushed his son's shoulder and said, "You go in."
Then he looked at Shen Lianyi again.
"W-do you want to come in and sit down?"
Shen Lianyi shook her head. She was actually a little nervous, but seeing that Yang Congwen was even more nervous, she inexplicably relaxed a lot.
She raised the corner of her mouth and said softly: "Since I have sent it back to Xiao Xiuyan, I will leave first. But..."
She was a little embarrassed, pinched her fingers, and then whispered: "It's my fault. He didn't sleep all night last night. He slept all day again today. I think he will be more energetic at night..."
She actually wanted to send Yang Xiuyan back tomorrow, but she happened to have something to do tomorrow, and it was not convenient to stay at her house tonight.
In this way, Shen Lianyi sent Xiao Xiuyan back.
"I'm really sorry. This is my fault."
It was fine at first, but when I think about it, I have done something bad. It would be embarrassing to think about it like this.
Shen Lianyi: "Well... don't blame Xiao Xiuyan, it's me who doesn't do things properly. I was thinking about celebrating the New Year, so I let it go. I... "
She squeezed her fingers, faster and faster.
Yang Congwen saw her blushing face, smiled, and then said: "It doesn't matter."
Shen Lianyi looked up at him, Yang Congwen smiled and said, "It really doesn't matter."
Shen Lianyi breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Actually, I am not good at educating children."
Yang Congwen was sincere and nodded and said yes.
"I know."
Shen Lianyi didn't expect him to answer like this. He sighed and looked up at him, a little confused.
When Yang Congwen saw her pair of beautiful eyes staring at him like this, his eyes suddenly felt as if they were on fire, and his face turned red.
He whispered: "That... that, I didn't mean anything else, nor did I accuse you. I was... I saw Miss Tang's very cheerful personality, so I knew that you were not someone who restricted children. I... I didn't mean anything else. Yes, it’s not what you think…”
It felt darker and darker as it was described, and Yang Congwen actually didn't know how to speak.
For a moment, both of them felt like their buttocks were on fire, something was very wrong.
Yang Xiuyan looked at this and that.
I'm a little confused about this situation.
Just when the scene was awkward.
A clear female voice sounded: "Shen Lianyi, you bitch, you are just a vixen!"
