The New Year has always been like this, just eat and drink and it goes by so fast.
In a blink of an eye, the day Gu Tingyun had planned to return to Peking came. To her surprise, Huo Ziqi went with them this time.
However, this person was a bit restrained and didn't come over to chat much. Instead, he stayed in the private compartment of the train and read a book, very quietly.
Tang Jiao sighed: "You said your fifth brother was just pretending, but I don't know if Huo Ziqi is really talented or not."
When talking about this, Gu Tingyun said bluntly: "That's naturally true. Fifth brother and I are different in age. If he wants to hide it and can hide it, but Huo Ziqi is different, we have grown up. He is older than me." I know exactly where to study and what books to read.”
Tang Jiao smiled and said, "I was just talking casually, but your explanation was very sincere."
Gu Tingyun said: "It's just a chat after all. What can't be done?"
At this point, I laughed,
Tang Jiao sat on the edge of the bed and swung her legs. She said, "Actually, I think your sixth brother seems to have something on his mind."
Gu Tingyun said slowly: "I will be jealous if you are so interested in him."
He said calmly: "Do you really want me to be jealous?"
Tang Jiao didn't believe that this man was jealous. He must have just not wanted to talk about this topic, but he was pretending very well.
She hummed, found a notebook, and started writing and drawing.
Gu Tingyun looked at Tang Jiao gently. She lowered her head and wrote very seriously. It is said that serious men are the most attractive.
Gu Tingyun thought that if it were the same for women, in his opinion, Tang Jiao was really beautiful at this time.
He stopped reading and just looked at Tang Jiao, feeling very quiet.
Tang Jiao suddenly raised her head and caught Gu Tingyun's gaze. She teased, "What's the matter? Suddenly you discovered that your wife is so beautiful?"
Gu Tingyun nodded solemnly and said, "That's not it. It's a great gift for a person like me to find a beautiful girl like you. I should buy a pig every year to pray for blessings."
Tang Jiao sighed and said, "That's nonsense."
She said: "I thought you were very serious at first, but now it seems you are not at all."
Gu Tingyun said: "If I still need to be serious in front of you, how tired will I be?"
Tang Jiao thought about this. She smiled, raised her head and said, "See if there is any problem with my modification here?"
Gu Tingyun said: "What?"
After taking it, I was a little surprised when I saw it. These were some small changes made by Tang Jiao and their newspaper.
He said: "You ask me?"
Tang Jiao said: "Yes, you are my man. If I don't ask you, who will I ask?"
Gu Tingyun said: "I think if you change like this..."
"Dong dong."
There was a knock on the door, and Gu Tingyun said: "Come in."
When Huo Ziqi came in, Tang Jiao called "Sixth Brother" and put the notebook away to read.
Huo Ziqi said, "I forgot to bring tea when I went out. Do you have any here? Why not give me some?"
Gu Tingyun said: "Of course there is."
He said: "I just made a pot of tea, do you want to drink some together?"
Huo Ziqi pondered for a moment and agreed.
He smiled and said, "I just don't know if my presence will disturb you."
Gu Tingyun: "Of course it's an interruption, but you are the Sixth Brother, so this is nothing, right?"
After saying this, Huo Ziqi also laughed.
Gu Tingyun handed the teacup to Huo Ziqi and said, "Brother Six, please."
Huo Ziqi sighed: "I haven't drank the tea you made for a long time."
In fact, when I think about it again, it’s not just that I didn’t drink tea, many things are different.
In just one year, many things have changed.
He said: "Sixth brother can come over at any time if he has time. But it's the same as before. Although I'm married, I don't have to cut off contact with my brothers."
After saying this, Huo Ziqi laughed and nodded, which was exactly the reason.
"I heard that Sixth Brother broke up?"
Gu Tingyun asked softly.
Tang Jiao's ears suddenly perked up. Tang Jiao didn't expect that their seventh master was also a gossip-loving person, so he could ask directly about this matter.
Huo Ziqi looked at Tang Jiao and said, "I don't know... wouldn't it be convenient for my younger siblings to go sit with Gu Yuyu for a while?"
This was because she didn't want her to listen. Tang Jiao felt that for such a tight-lipped little girl, he still didn't believe her, which was too much.
And oh, if she pressed him, their Gu Tingyun would definitely tell her.
Tang Jiao clicked her tongue and said yes.
Gu Tingyun looked at Tang Jiao, and he seemed to be able to see Tang Jiao's curious little rabbit ears drooping down, looking timid.
He smiled and said: "Be good, come over."
After blinking her eyes, Tang Jiao understood immediately and said, "Okay!"
After going out, Tang Jiao came to Gu Yuyu's private room with a smile. Their private rooms were next to each other. Gu Yuyu and Siye were both there. When they saw Tang Jiao coming over, they quickly pulled her to eat melon seeds together.
The girls chatted together, gossiped, and ate sunflower seeds. Time flew by so fast.
At this time, Gu Tingyun looked at Huo Ziqi and said, "Sixth brother, what do you want to hide from Tang Jiao? We are all one family."
He raised his hand to sip the tea cup and said, "Don't tell me that you want to say bad things about her."
Huo Ziqi said: "Of course not, it's just that my siblings regard Huo Xiao as a good person. I'm always worried that she will accidentally tell it."
He lowered his head and said seriously: "Maybe when I say this, you think it's a bit alarmist, but in fact there is one thing you don't know."
After a pause, Huo Ziqi looked up with a serious expression: "My father was not as good to Huo Xiao as we thought. And Huo Xiao probably knew the truth about the original incident."
He stared at Gu Tingyun, trying to read something from Gu Tingyun's expression, but he was quickly disappointed.
Nothing.
Gu Tingyun was very calm, as before, without any extra emotion. He was as calm as if he didn't say anything.
"Do you know? Still don't believe what I said?"
Gu Tingyun thought carefully about what he should say.
After thinking about it, he said calmly: "You haven't said anything yet, what do I know? Brother Six, your words are so meaningless that I don't know how to answer them."
Gu Tingyun already knew what Huo Ziqi wanted to say.
Whether Huo Ziqi said Huo Xiao knew something or Huo Xiao said Huo Ziqi knew something.
To a large extent, Gu Tingyun felt that something was wrong with this.
He couldn't tell what was wrong for the time being, but he could definitely feel that something was wrong.
He said: "Why don't Sixth Brother tell me, what do you know?"
"Huo Xiao's parents were killed by his father."
Gu Tingyun's eyebrows flashed and he was speechless.
Huo Ziqi finally understood and said, "You know it. It's precisely because you know it that you're not surprised at all, right?"
He looked at Gu Tingyun very seriously, wanting to know if it was true.
Gu Tingyun nodded: "Yes. But why do you think Huo Xiao knows about it?"
Huo Ziqi lowered his eyes and said, "There is no airtight wall in this world. I know it, and I am deeply worried about it."
He leaned back and spoke earnestly: "Although I know in my heart that these things are not my business and the Huo family has nothing to do with me, I just can't ignore anything. Ever since I was a child, what I have been looking forward to most is to be able to Be recognized. Do you... understand? Being recognized is very simple for you. But it is very difficult for me. "
With a wry smile, he said: "Grandma and father haven't properly recognized me yet. I don't want to see anything happen to them, and I don't want to see the Huo family fall into Huo Xiao's hands for no apparent reason. Do you understand? I Let them live a good life and be recognized by them."
He would rather Gu Tingyun take away the Huo family. After all, he is still a real Huo family member, but Huo Xiao is not.
He is not saying that Huo Xiao is not good, but he cares more about his family.
He said: "I'm not afraid to tell you. I already know that you may be my father's son. We are not cousins at all. In fact, we are more likely to be half-brothers."
Having said this, he said calmly: "But so what if I know? We have gone through so much together in Hongmen, am I going to target you? I can swear to God that I will not do this. Brother Six, please don't ask. On the other hand, I just ask that you can return to the Huo family and take charge of the overall situation, and don't let Huo Xiao continue to make trouble in the Huo family. Is that okay? "
He asked seriously,
Gu Tingyun looked at him and said slowly: "Sixth brother, I said I would not go back, and I really will not go back. As for Huo Xiao, since he has lost so much for the Huo family, what does it mean to gain the Huo family now? Isn’t it right?”
"But his surname is not Huo. After all, he is not a real Huo family. He has enmity with our family. I now suspect that he knows this. If it is true, he is definitely not innocent towards our family, and Tang Jiao ... You clearly know that he likes Tang Jiao very much. Aren't you afraid that he will snatch Tang Jiao away?"
Huo Ziqi really wanted to persuade Gu Tingyun to go back and take charge of the Huo family, but Gu Tingyun had his own ideas.
It was impossible for him to go back. If he wanted to go back, he would have gone back long ago. How could he wait until this day
He said calmly: "Sixth brother, have you ever thought about it, maybe... In fact, everything is just the result that the second uncle wants to see."
He said calmly: "In other words, I don't care how grandma convinces you, but you have to know that I have my own life, and the decision I have made will not change."
The conversation between the two was not pleasant, and Huo Ziqi fell silent.
Gu Tingyun said: "Sixth brother, you have a very good career in Shanghai, why do you need to go back to Peking to fight? You clearly know that the Huo family now recognizes Huo Xiao. What does it mean if we go back? If you fight with Huo Xiao, please forgive me. , can you fight him?"
Huo Ziqi wanted to persuade Gu Tingyun, but Gu Tingyun didn't want to persuade Huo Ziqi not to be so persistent.
He said: "Don't be too persistent in everything, otherwise you will be too tired."
Huo Ziqi looked at Gu Tingyun and said nothing.
Gu Tingyun said: "I know that Sixth Brother is doing good for me, but there are some things that you should think about carefully. Is what you call doing good for me what I want? I won't fight for the Huo family. Because The Huo family is nothing in my eyes. Yes, my relatives are here, but those businesses, those money, and everything should belong to Huo Xiao who has always stayed in the Huo family. This is what the Huo family owes him. "
Huo Ziqi was silent for a long time, and then he said: "Huo Xiao's leg was broken because of his uncle."
Gu Tingyun's expression suddenly changed...
