With a tense jaw and a hint of sternness flashing in her deep eyes, Zuo Panqing swallowed her saliva, her body wanted to shrink back, but behind her was the car door.
The cold touch made her feel chills through the clothes. Her body trembled, she suddenly pushed him hard, stood up straight, and clenched her bag tightly.
"Gu Xuewen, don't scare me like this. I didn't ask him to give me the money, and maybe it wasn't him. What are you doing like this?"
"It's not him?" Gu Xuewen nodded, the gloom in his eyes became more obvious: "Who is that?"
"How do I know." Zuo Panqing glared at him: "Do you want to pick up Grandpa and the others? If not, I'll go by myself."
Silent, Gu Xuewen didn't move, Zuo Panqing didn't dare to move, the two confronted each other for a long time. Gu Xuewen glanced at her coldly, and finally walked around to the other side and opened the door to get in the car.
"What's wrong." Zuo Panqing muttered in a low voice, her eyes widened suddenly, she quickly opened the car door and stared at Gu Xuewen.
"Hey. Your hand is still injured. Let's call a car."
Didn't his hand hurt? If I drive again, will the wound open
The genuine concern in her eyes made Gu Xuewen's original gloomy expression dissipate a lot. Start the car coldly: "It's okay, if I don't drive, my parents will misunderstand."
"But—" It's okay to buy breakfast, after all, the opponent has no influence, but driving. Today is Sunday, and there are many cars and people. In case something-
"Can you get in the car?" Zuo Panqing shook her head, "I won't. Gu Xuewen, let's take a taxi. If your parents ask, just say your car broke down."
Gu Xuewen didn't move, the sound of the engine starting rang in the ears of the two of them, Zuo Panqing really felt that this was inappropriate.
"Gu Xuewen, did you hear that?" She didn't want anything to happen, whether it was her or him.
"How do you think I came back yesterday?" Gu Xuewen gave her a blank look: "Get in the car."
"But—" He thought this was an adventure movie? My hand is injured and I have to drive by myself. Zuo Panqing bit her lip and refused to go up no matter what.
Gu Xuewen simply got out of the car, stepped over in two or three steps, and stuffed her into the car with one hand.
"Gu Xuewen—"
Before she could say anything, he got into the car again and stepped on the accelerator without saying hello.
Zuo Panqing kept staring at his left hand, a little worried, but he looked all right. She finally chose silence. He turned his head and looked at the road ahead.
The weather is very nice today. The sun shone on the road, and everyone had a look of joy on their faces. Many people carry various gift boxes in their hands. The pace is hurried.
Zuo Panqing's cell phone beeped non-stop, and when she opened it, there were text messages one after another. All to celebrate her happy holidays. Sticking out her tongue, she edited the text message and pressed group sending.
Seeing the joy on her face, Gu Xuewen frowned almost imperceptibly. Ah, you can do it yourself.
Zuo Panqing didn't realize it. I sent a text message to greet my friend, and I breathed a sigh of relief. The phone rang again.
"Qingqing." It turned out to be Ji Yunzhan.
"..." Zuo Panqing glanced at Gu Xuewen without any trace, found that he was concentrating on driving, and heaved a sigh of relief: "Is there something wrong?"
"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival." Ji Yunzhan's voice was sincere and somewhat disappointed: "I originally thought that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival could be spent with you."
Silent, Zuo Panqing didn't know what to say.
"Qingqing, I hope you are happy."
"..."
"Why don't you talk?" Ji Yunzhan's voice was a bit bitter: "Could it be that we really can't even be friends?"
After pursing her lips for a while, Zuo Panqing finally said, "I'm sorry."
Maybe, she could be friends with him, but she was afraid. I'm afraid that I can't help but have expectations, I'm afraid that I can't help asking and guessing.
If five years ago, he didn't hurt her and the two broke up peacefully, would she still care so much today
Zuo Panqing didn't know, so she could only say sorry to him.
"Qingqing—" Can't you even tell me a happy holiday
Before Ji Yunzhan could say anything, Zuo Panqing had already hung up the phone. Feeling annoyed, what is she doing? At least you should ask if he gave you the money, right
Now I had no choice but to ask again tomorrow, only to realize that the car had already parked at the hotel entrance.
"Are you there?" Opening the door to get out of the car, Gu Xuewen grabbed his arm: "It's him again?"
That man is really haunted.
"Gu Xuewen, don't do this." Zuo Panqing's voice was very soft: "I've already hung up the phone and ignored him, what else do you think of me?"
Gu Xuewen didn't let go, his voice was as cold as a knife: "Are you sorry for him? Because of what? You can't be with him? Is it because I give you a chance now that you will run to him immediately?"
"Gu Xuewen." Zuo Panqing was actually in a mess, and she didn't know how to face Ji Yunzhan: "Can you stop talking? Today is the holiday, and I don't want to quarrel with you."
Quarrel? Gu Xuewen didn't make a sound, and the aura around him became ruthless. Finally, he opened the car door and got out of the car, ignoring Zuo Panqing. He slammed the door shut.
Zuo Panqing was stunned for a moment, got out of the car quickly, ran towards him, was about to reach out to pull him, only to find that she was walking on his left, and went to pull his right hand again.
"Gu Xuewen, don't do this."
She really didn't want to argue with him like this in front of the hotel. How many times does it take her to tell him before he understands that it is impossible for her and Ji Yunzhan.
"Xuewen." Another voice sounded faintly. Gu Xuewu and Qiao Xinwan also arrived, right behind them.
"Brother, sister-in-law." Zuo Panqing didn't bother to show her temper anymore, and greeted the two of them.
Gu Xuewu didn't look at Zuo Panqing, but just looked at the unexpected look on Gu Xuewen's face: "I'm going to see my grandpa later. Xuewen, are you sure you want to put on such a cold face?"
Gu Xuewen turned his sharp eyes and stared at him for a while, but finally his expression softened a little. He glanced at Zuo Panqing faintly, turned around, and entered the hotel gate.
Several elders had already got up, Zuo Panqing conveyed the meaning of her parents, and said that the seats had been reserved. Gu Tianchu was very happy.
"Well. I haven't had such a lively Mid-Autumn Festival for a long time."
The joy on his face was flushed red. Gu Tianchu's spirit looks very good.
Gu Zhigang and his wife were usually very filial to Gu Tianchu. Seeing that he was so happy, they didn't refuse, and agreed to go to Xiangyun for dinner together.
Qiao Xinwan and Gu Xuewu couldn't refuse, so they went together.
Gu Xuemei also came at this time, and when he entered the door, he saw a large family in the room, feeling very lively. After saying hello to her parents and grandpa, Gu Xuemei pushed a wheelchair and sat in a corner without speaking.
Zuo Panqing was chatting with Qiao Xinwan at first, but when she saw Gu Xuemei like that, she seemed to have something on her mind. From the moment she came, her expression was a little gloomy. It seems very displeased.
"Sister?" Called her tentatively, Zuo Panqing walked up to her and knelt down: "What's wrong? You don't seem happy?"
"I'm fine." Gu Xuemei turned away, stared at the front without saying a word: "I just feel so lively."
Thinking about it seriously, the Gu family really hasn't had so many people celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival together for a long time.
"It's true." Zuo Panqing nodded: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, we will have dinner later, find a place to play, and watch the moon together at night."
"Let's go to Libin's club." Gu Xuewu suggested, seeing Gu Xuemei's expression shocked by the name he mentioned: "I heard that he is now the boss of the entertainment industry in City C, and many entertainment venues have his investment. "
"That boy Libin is one of the most capable of your younger generations." Gu Tianchu just heard this sentence, and took over the words: "I don't know which family's daughter has such a blessing."
"Father, are you serious? Could it be that Libin is capable, but learning literature and martial arts can't do it?" Wang Xiu'e doesn't think her children are worse than others: "Then Libin is good, but I heard that he is very playful in City C. Girlfriends handed over one after another, which made my mother angry."
"It's understandable for young people to be more romantic." Especially in today's society, which rich man doesn't care.
When Wang Xiu'e answered, she didn't see Gu Xuemei's face turning pale in an instant. The hands on the lap were tightly twisted together.
"Flirty?" Gu Tianchu snorted coldly: "Dirty is almost the same. Any love that is not for the purpose of marriage is called hooliganism."
Although he is old, he is not a person who cannot keep up with the times: "If you have money, you can't spoil other people's daughters. It's better for men to be more affectionate."
Like him, he only loved the old woman in his life, and it is the same until now.
"That is. That is."
Gu Zhigang tugged on Wang Xiu'e's sleeve, signaling him not to speak.
Zuo Panqing also felt that the atmosphere of this meeting was not right. Especially when looking at Gu Xuemei, she seemed to be about to collapse at any moment: "Sister, are you not feeling well?"
"I'm fine." Gu Xuemei twitched the corners of her mouth, and her mood suddenly fell to the bottom. Du Libin, are you very carefree in City C
The disappointment on her face clearly fell into Uncle Gu Xuewu's eyes. He glanced at his mother with a slightly disapproving expression: "Mom, you didn't see that Libin was bothered, so don't talk nonsense. As far as I know .Libin is very dedicated, and he doesn't even have a girlfriend." upbw.
"Really?" Wang Xiu'e was really surprised: "The last time I saw Lao Du, he still complained to me, saying that Libin only wanted to have fun and didn't want to find a girlfriend, and he was so anxious."
"Mom, Uncle Du is not at home all year round, how much time do you have to take care of Libin? I don't know, don't talk nonsense."
"I—" Wang Xiu'e was about to say something, only to find out that her son's attitude today was very wrong: "I said that Li Bin was being playful, but I didn't say that you were being playful. What are you arguing for him?"
Also, for a while, several people's eyes were on Gu Xuewu. Including Gu Xuemei, there was a hint of pleading in her eyes.
Gu Xuewu saw it, sighed, and turned to look at his parents: "Mom, Libin grew up with us anyway. Don't talk nonsense."
"Is it alright if I don't say anything?" Wang Xiu'e was annoyed: "I'm such a low-status mother? She's not here yet. I'll just say a few words, what's bothering you? You're a brother. , or my mother?"
"Mom—" Gu Xuewu felt helpless.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zuo Panqing hurried out to smooth things over: "Grandpa, uncles, aunts, parents. It's getting late at that time. How about we go to the hotel first? My parents have reserved seats."
"Then let's go."
Gu Tianchu is not in the mood to take care of other people's children. Isn't his own family enough for him to have a headache these days
"Don't make your in-laws wait too long."
"Yes, yes." Chen Jingru breathed a sigh of relief, followed by Gu Zhiqiang and two people, one on the left and one on the right, holding Gu Tianchu's hand: "Dad, let's go first."
"Um."
A group of elders went out first. Zuo Panqing heaved a sigh of relief, took over, and Gu Xuewen stood behind her and looked at her expressionlessly.
"What are you doing?"
Who is this face for
"Let's go." Gu Xuewen put his arms around her waist and walked out. Zuo Panqing thought of Gu Xuemei, and found that Gu Xuewu walked behind her, with his hands on the armrest.
With a sigh of relief, it is enough for Gu Xuemei to be taken care of. Turning his face away, he glared at Gu Xuewen angrily: "How can you be someone else's younger brother? Xuemei is your older sister, why don't you push her?"
Gu Xuewen glanced at her lightly, then looked at his hands. Zuo Panqing stuck out her tongue, and suddenly thought that his hand was injured. Driving with one hand is fine, but pushing a wheelchair is not.
"Okay." Zuo Panqing stopped talking and walked out of the room with him.
Gu Xuewu finally left, facing the disappointment in Gu Xuemei's eyes: "If you really care about it, you have to trust him. If you don't trust him, then give up."
"Brother." She was actually a little confused. She would not believe that Du Libin was bothered. Think of him flying around every week. Back and forth between City C and Beidu, how could he still have the time and energy to spend messing around outside.
Thinking this way in my heart, I thought of Du Libin and Zheng Qimei. Didn't Du Libin not go to Beijing this week? He obviously already had a new person and forgot about the old one.
"Xuemei." Gu Xuewu called her softly: "Don't think about it, today is a holiday, be happy."
"Yeah." Gu Xuemei nodded, but her heart was a little tangled. Should I tell Du Libin that I came to City C? Do you want it
……………
The lunch was very lively. Zuo Zhenggang and Gu Zhiqiang hadn't seen each other for a long time, and there were endless things to talk about. Wen Xuefeng and Chen Jingru sat together and chatted about the two children's childhood, which was also very happy.
Qiao Xinwan and Gu Xuewu got along harmoniously because their elders were there and there were no disputes.
As soon as Zuo Panqing had many people, she forgot about the dispute with Gu Xuewen just now, not to mention that she still remembered another matter. Gu Xuewen's hand was injured.
Sitting on his left, she saw that he was holding the bowl with his left hand, and approached him without a trace: "Are you sure you're okay? Does your hand hurt?"
"I'm fine." She approached, Gu Xuewen smelled the fragrance of her body, and listened to the concern in her words. His expression softened a lot.
Zuo Panqing didn't quite believe it. He glanced at the table, turned the turntable, and put a few pieces of fish in Gu Xuewen's bowl: "Eat the fish."
Good for wound recovery.
besides-
Standing up, she just specially ordered a bowl of pork liver soup, filled a bowl, and put it in front of Gu Xuewen: "Drink some soup."
To replenish blood, I don't know how severe the wound is, but there should be a lot of blood, so I need to mend it well.
"Tsk tsk." Although Wen Xuefeng was chatting with Chen Jingru, she kept staring at her daughter with this gaze: "I really didn't believe it at first when people said that girls are foreign. Now look at Panqing, I really believe it. Look at it This child, how considerate of learning."
"Yes." Chen Jingru was also very satisfied. Gu Xuewen insisted on staying in City C alone. Now that someone took care of him, she felt relieved.
"Panqing is such a good child. In-laws, thank you for raising such a good daughter."
"Where is it? It's the in-laws who don't dislike it." Wen Xuefeng was very happy. As a parent, she didn't have any demands, but she just wanted her daughter to be happy.
Zuo Panqing and Gu Xuewen have a good relationship, they are the happiest and most gratified.
Zuo Panqing blushed, looking at Wen Xuefeng with a smile on her face. Na Na sat back in his seat: "I—"
Gu Xuewen's always serious face finally showed a little tenderness at this moment. Glancing at Zuo Panqing, he pushed the bowl of soup in front of her.
"You drink. You're too thin."
"Gu Xuewen." What is he doing? Do you think this is being polite? Zuo Panqing stared at his arm, and finally moved her face closer to him: "You bastard, I remember that you should still kneel on the keyboard. If you don't drink, you will kneel when you go back tonight."
Gu Xuewen was stunned for a moment, and soon, a beautiful smile curved up at the corner of his mouth. Take that bowl of soup and drink it. Zuo Panqing nodded in satisfaction, and filled another bowl for him.
"Drink more, replenish blood."
"Will Xuewen be anemic?" Wang Xiu'e heard those two words with sharp ears, and looked at Gu Xuewen: "Xuewen is not feeling well?"
"No." Zuo Panqing responded before Gu Xuewen could speak: "He has been training so hard recently, I think he must need a lot of blood. So it's good to eat more pork liver to replenish blood."
"Pan Qing is really virtuous." Wang Xiu'e was a little envious. My daughter-in-law has never cared so much about her husband.
How could Qiao Xinwan fail to understand the meaning of Wang Xiu'e's words, and glanced at Gu Xuewen lightly: "Since the training is very hard, then don't do it. Ask Dad to transfer you to a civilian job. Or transfer back to Beijing. No, it won't be hard work. "
Gu Xuewu glared at Qiao Xinwan sharply, as if she didn't hear it: "That's right. Grandpa is getting old, and you two brothers don't stay at home, don't you think about grandpa's feelings?"
The corners of Gu Xuewu's lips taunted, and after a long time, Qiao Xinwan just didn't give up, and wanted to return to Beidu: "I believe grandpa will understand. Besides. It's not like staying in City C all the time."
"I know." Qiao Xinwan nodded: "But grandpa is old after all, so it's normal to want to have grandchildren by his side?"
"Qiao Xinwan." Gu Xuewu's anger came up: "It's a big festival, do you have to say such things?"
"Did I say something wrong?" Qiao Xinwan raised her thin eyebrows high: "Aren't you two brothers selfish?"
"Qiao Xinwan." Gu Xuewu clenched his fists and was about to explode when Gu Tianchu said at this moment: "What's the trouble? I'm not dead yet. You are not afraid of your in-laws' jokes."
Qiao Xinwan and Gu Xuewu shut down at the same time. Gu Tianchu turned around and took a look at Zuo Zhenggang: "I'm letting you see a joke. The children are not sensible."
"It's okay, it's okay." Zuo Zhenggang waved his hand: "This is also a contribution to the country."
"That's right." Wen Xuefeng hurriedly smoothed things over: "I think it's good to learn literature, punish bad people, and uphold justice. How wonderful."
Several elders rounded up the words, and the atmosphere returned to enthusiasm for a while. Zuo Panqing glanced at Qiao Xinwan, she was eating in silence, with a trace of grievance flashing through her half-closed eyes. The reflective ones seem to be tear stains
