"Miss, the water is ready."

The maid Xiaolan walked out of the bathroom and smiled at Qingxi Road.

Qingxi just returned from Mrs. Gu's side. The bumps and dangers on the train, and the dislikes of the women of the Gu family, fell down the same day. Qingxi felt very tired. Even she was not in the mood to visit this luxuriously decorated large room.

"Seeing that the lady is tired, hurry up and take a shower. After taking a comfortable sleep, Xiaolan serves her to take off her clothes. Seeing that the future eldest young lady is listless, she advised affectionately again. When she smiles, two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks, which makes people feel close to her.

This is the first person Qingxi met after stepping into Gu's family and sincerely welcomed her.

"Where are you doing things?" Qingxi asked casually.

Xiaolan looked at her with a look of congratulations and replied happily: "In addition to the old house, the old man has several houses in Hangzhou. I work in one of them. The lady is coming. The old man transferred me and Li Ma to this place in advance to serve the lady and the old lady. The old man said that if the lady is not used to living there or has any needs, even if she tells me, I will go directly to the old man, without disturbing the wife."

Qingxi turned his head unexpectedly.

Xiaolan hugged her shirt that she had just taken off and blinked at Qingxi cunningly: "Miss. Don't worry, if you have the uncle to support you, just be familiar with the eldest master. Miss. Don't worry about the people and things around you. In the future, everything about the Gu family will be the lady."

This sentence has a deep meaning. Qingxi didn't answer it and asked Xiaolan to wait outside, so she went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Soaked in the hot water sprinkled with perfume, Qingxi unconsciously washed his arms, and suddenly his mother's advice before departure suddenly rang in his ears.

The mother said that Uncle Gu would look at her, but she didn't expect it to be true.

But how could Gu Shiqin like such a status as Gu Shiqin favor a girl from a small county town?

Because I am grateful to my father for saving my life, or is it that at the age of five, she is really as sensible and cute as her mother said?

Qingxi couldn't guess the answer, but no matter what, I found that not everyone on the Gu family looked down on her, and Qingxi felt much more comfortable.

After taking a hot bath for a while, the sleepiness surged up. Qingxi asked Xiaolan to pull up the curtains, and she got into the bed to rest.

While asleep, there seemed to be someone talking outside the door. Qingxi opened his eyes and happened to Xiaolan push the door gently in. Seeing that she woke up, Xiaolan smiled and said, "Miss Yiqiu, Miss Huifang is here to play with you."

When a guest came to the door, Qingxi quickly sat up.

Five minutes later, Qingxi hurried to the living room to meet guests.

The guests were sitting on the sofa. When they saw her, Gu Yiqiu from the second room stood up with a smile. Gu Mingyan's sister Gu Huifang leaned against the sofa and raised her eyebrows slightly. While looking at Qingxi, she said jokingly: "Have Sister Xu had enough sleep? If she didn't sleep enough, my cousin and I will come back tomorrow."

Qingxi apologized frankly: "Sorry, I've told you to wait for a long time."

Gu Huifang hummed softly.

Gu Yiqiu smiled and smoothed the situation, and took Qingxi's hand and said, "It's not your fault. You must be tired when you take a bus from all over the place. Once I went to Shencheng and slept on the train for a long time. I got off the bus and continued to sleep. It was only when it was dark."

She was generous and friendly, so Qingxi tried to make friends with her.

Gu Yiqiu studied in a girls' school. She has been in contact with petite ladies of similar origins since childhood. This is the first time she has dealt with an old lady like Qingxi. Qingxi's gentle and quiet temperament and soft and delicate appearance make her feel awesome. She sincerely praised: "Qingxi is so beautiful. The classical beauties in the Book of Songs should be like you, right?"

After saying that, I read a poem describing the beauty.

Qingxi's cheeks were slightly red. After being humble, he looked at Gu Yiqiu enviously: "Sister Yiqiu is admirable. Xiaolan said, "You can speak the Three Kingdoms language?"

The two admired each other and unknowingly neglected Gu Huifang. Gu Huifang disliked Qingxi more and more. Thinking that Qingxi would become her sister-in-law and become the Gu family's future head of the young grandmother, and inherit more wealth than her, Gu Huifang felt depressed.

"So, Sister Xu has never been to school?" Gu Huifang asked deliberately.

Qingxi nodded and looked at Gu Huifang quietly, not feeling ashamed. Her mother is a talented woman. She and her sister followed her mother to study and learn the piano. Qingxi has read almost all of the books in her home. Except for the Western science taught in the school, Qingxi even dared to say that what she learned is not inferior to Gu Huifang.

Gu Huifang originally wanted to see Qingxi ashamed, but now Qingxi looked "not ashamed but proud". She was stunned and forgot to prepare her draft.

Qingxi continued to talk to Gu Yiqiu.

Gu Huifang was quiet for a while, suddenly laughed, tilted her head and joked with her brother: "When Sister Xu comes, my brother will definitely be honest for a few days, I'm just pitiful Sister Mei..."

Qingxi turned his head to look at her.

But Gu Huifang stopped talking, ran to the window like a lively bird, lying there and looking out.

Qingxi had a vague guess, but based on a name mentioned by Gu Huifang, she could not prove anything, and was not sure whether to doubt Gu Mingyan based on this. However, what does it matter? Qingxi had already made up her mind not to marry into this golden silk cage. Whether Gu Mingyan has another girlfriend has nothing to do with her.

Sending off the Gu sisters, Qingxi went to find her grandmother.

Old Mrs. Xu is older and more prone to being affected. She woke up shortly after she sent her mother down. She whispered to ask about her granddaughter's relationship with the Gu sisters.

Qingxi was deliberately asking her grandmother to abandon the Gu family, so she told the truth and complained aggrievedly: "Sister Yiqiu treats me well, Huifang doesn't like me, and she speaks with thorns everywhere. Judging from her words, the eldest young master seems to have something to do with a woman named Rumei."

Old Mrs. Xu's eyes turned and sneered, "That's it. The eldest wife is not satisfied with you. The men in the marriage are the decision. They dare not object, so they deliberately talk nonsense in front of you, hoping that we will break off the engagement on their own initiative. Qingxi should not be fooled. Mingyan is a good child at first sight. He asked you to go to the movie as soon as he met. How could there be someone else in his heart?"

Qingxi heard the taste. Without real evidence, grandmother would not give up on this family.

"I'll help my grandmother comb her hair." Sighing silently, Qingxi decided to change the topic.

After Mrs. Xu had just packed up, Xiaolan suddenly called them outside: "Old lady, Miss, the uncle is here to see you!"

When Old Mrs. Xu heard that her waist was no longer sore and her legs were no longer weak. She pulled her granddaughter and walked out.

In the living room, Gu Shiqin stood in a dark long gown and faced the bedroom. He was about the same age as Xu Wangshan, but Gu Shiqin was doing a wealthy business, and was pampered and caring. He looked like he was in his early thirties at this time. The man had deep black eyes, handsome facial features, and every move was a graceful and elegant style that only the bosses in the business district had. In terms of style, Gu Mingyan, who was twenty, was a bit inferior to his father.

"Auntie came from afar, and Shiqin was indifferent to the reception because of official duties, and she was really not well received." After meeting, Gu Shiqin bowed his head to apologize to Old Lady Xu, and was polite. Speaking of which, the Gu family's father and son looked quite like, with indifferent eyes, but Gu Mingyan's politeness could be heard perfunctory, and the greetings from Gu Shiqin made people feel sincere.

"Shiqin is so polite. You are busy with big business, of course business is important." Old Mrs. Xu said with a smile, turning around and calling her granddaughter to call someone.

Qingxi took a step forward and shouted "Uncle Gu" in a regular manner.

Gu Shiqin's eyes finally fell on the girl in front of him. The girl Pinting looked over with curiosity and awe. Her beautiful eyes instantly met the man deep in her memory.

She clearly wanted to forget it, but tried every means to get close to her, and did not hesitate to set up a ridiculous baby marriage, just because she wanted to maintain a little connection with her.

The past events surged into my heart like a tide. The head of the Gu family, who had been dominating the mall for 20 years, had a crack on his face, which had always been calm and majestic, and it was fleeting.

"Qingxi has grown up, how are your parents?" Gu Shiqin looked at his future daughter-in-law lovingly.

The care and closeness in the man's tone were unfair, and Qingxi couldn't help but relax and said with a smile: "My father and my mother are all very good, so I'm worried about it."

Gu Shiqin nodded and chatted about family matters. He looked at the sky and invited the grandparents and grandchildren: "I asked someone to hold a welcome banquet, let's go together."

Of course, Old Mrs. Xu had to go. There was nothing more to Mrs. Gu Shiqin's courtesy, which made Old Mrs. Gu feel chest tightness.

Qingxi followed his grandmother on the other side, listening to the elders talking while worrying about the movie appointment with Gu Mingyan at night.

I don’t want to marry him anymore, so there is no need to watch this movie again. But what reason should I refuse?

The Gu family has a great career, but its descendants are not prosperous. At least the previous generation had Gu Shiqin and Gu Shichang. When Gu Mingyan's generation was the only young master, he was the only young master, and the remaining two were ladies. When Qingxi followed his grandmother into the magnificent restaurant, he looked at the old lady Gu and others sitting around the table of the rosewood Eight Immortals, and he felt a little deserted.

I have basically seen it, and Qingxi paid a salute to the second master Gu Shichang alone.

The man has a natural favor for the beautiful woman, and Gu Shichang is also very satisfied with Qingxi, and he smiles and teases his nephew: "Mingyan is so lucky."

Gu Mingyan looked at his fiancée who had changed into a dress. Although she looked young and lacked the charm of a mature woman, Qingxi's soft and unconventional appearance was enough to make any man who could have her proud.

"Sit down." Gu Mingyan personally helped Qingxi pull up the seat.

In front of everyone, even though Qingxi didn't want to marry him, she was still blushed.

Gu Shiqin smiled.

Old Mrs. Gu, the eldest wife, Gu Huifang's face was not very good-looking, which made her smile more and more beautiful. Well, presbyopia is also a flower.

"Mrs. Hu called me in the afternoon. Qingxi was not injured in the carriage her cousin was sitting with you today, right?" the eldest lady suddenly asked.

Qingxi was stunned and looked at her grandmother instinctively. Old Mrs. Xu's smile had already froze.

"What's hurt?" Gu Shiqin asked.

Gu Mingyan and others also looked at Qingxi's face, with different expressions.

Qingxi had no time to look at his grandmother's eyes and looked back at Gu Shiqin and said, "When eating at noon, bandits suddenly robbed the car. Fortunately, someone in the same car knew martial arts and subdued the bandits. Finally, there was no danger."

Gu Shiqin frowned and said coldly: "I will send someone to inquire tomorrow. Don't be afraid of Qingxi. Go back and ask Mingyan to send you there."

Qingxi was about to decline politely, but the eldest wife asked again with concern: "I heard that the gangster forced you to search..."

Qingxi's face turned pale, and the despair at that time was afraid that it would spread all over her body again. Compared with that, the eldest wife's malicious words were nothing.

But Old Mrs. Xu immediately stared at Mrs. Big and retorted: "Didn't that Mrs. Hu tell you that Qingxi stabbed him before the criminal took action? We Qingxi looked weak, but she would rather die than surrender. Fortunately, Qingxi was lucky and injured the criminal by chance, and fought for the chivalrous man next to her. Otherwise, we two wouldn't have the chance to sit here for dinner."

There are no fools here. Everyone knows whether the eldest wife wants to care about Qingxi or deliberately slander Qingxi.

Gu Shiqin glanced at his wife coldly.

The eldest lady's heart trembled and she no longer dared to talk nonsense in front of her husband.

Gu Huifang pouted, and relied on her father's usual spoiling her, she pretended to be naive and asked Qingxi: "Does Sister Xu carry a knife when she goes out?"

"Shut up." Gu Ming scolded sternly.

The brother didn't give her any face. Gu Huifang's eyes were red immediately, she wanted to shake her sleeves and leave the table, but she also wanted to know the answer.

Qingxi could explain it, but when she saw Gu Huifang, she would rather bear the grievances than wait for her to speak, she reciprocates and deliberately did not say anything, her thick eyelashes quietly drooped down, looking as if I was pitiful.

"Call the old lady, Qingxi is wronged. The scenery of Hangzhou is OK. Mingyan. You don't have to go to the company these days. Please accompany the old lady and walk around Qingxi." Gu Shiqin's words ended the topic of the train in danger.

The atmosphere of dinner is subtle, and Qingxi quietly picks up food and eats.

After dinner, Gu Mingyan took the initiative to send Old Mrs. Xu and Qingxi back to the guest room.

Old Mrs. Xu intended to match the two children and went first.
