dear husband please stop

Gu Nanxi smiled: "Kids are more worry-free than you."

Xin Yao curled her lips, turned her head and glanced at the stairs above, hesitated for a while before saying: "You heard the conversation between me and Wen Qing just now, didn't you?"

He raised his eyebrows, but he also acquiesced.

"What does she mean by that? Isn't my mother's necklace one of the evidences of the corruption case back then? But no matter who the person involved is, the necklace is considered physical evidence now, but my mother The card is no longer alive, but Wen Qing mentioned Ji's family again, what does she mean?"

Ji Xinyao asked very seriously.

Gu Nanxi hooked her lips, and there was a hint of comfort in her eyes: "Do you take Wen Qing's words seriously?"

"I know it's not true, but I always feel that what she said is very firm, so I will inevitably think about it carefully."

Ji Xinyao was very puzzled, but she knew that her mother had been dead for so many years, so even if there was something hidden, so what?

As a result, she put away the confusion in her heart and showed a smiling face: "Forget it, you are right. Sometimes Wen Qing's words can't be taken seriously. Just treat it as if you just heard a joke."

Hearing what she said, Gu Nanxi raised the corners of her lips slightly, half-encircled her, and led her downstairs together.

"Nancy, how many days is your city hall's Spring Festival holiday?" Xin Yao asked suddenly when she went downstairs.

Gu Nanxi glanced at her: "Different agencies and departments, some only have five days off, but most people have ten days off."

"Then when will we go back to Nippori? After your vacation is over?" she asked in a low voice.

Maybe it's her selfishness, although she really wants to spend more time with the old man and He Jiezhen, not to mention that Yufei's matter seems to be unresolved, but because there is a time bomb in Gu's family, Wen Qing, and Xiuli and Gu There was vague hostility between Nancy, so she suddenly missed Nippori, the home that only belonged to Gu Nancy and her.

Maybe it's because Xin Yao didn't hide those worries in her heart, she put her emotions in her eyes, and Gu Nanxi seemed to have seen through her thoughts in an instant.

"After tonight's New Year's Eve, we can go back to Nippori any day you want." He laughed.

"Tonight is New Year's Eve, I won't leave even if you ask me~" Xin Yao glared at him.

Nan laughs and saves some time. "I know that you will inevitably have many restrictions in Gu's house, especially Wen Qing, but it's the Spring Festival after all, and you may be wronged for a day or two, so bear with it, huh?"

Just now she said that she was not as worry-free as a child, but now she said in a tone as if she was coaxing a child, Xin Yao's lips curled up in joy, and she said with relief: "Then let's stay with grandpa for a few more days. "

Gu Nanxi looked at her amusedly, and the two of them had already walked to the living room while talking.

He Jiezhen was standing in front of the window for an unknown how long.

Xin Yao paused, thought for a while, and said in a low voice, "Nancy, I'm going to talk to my mother for a while."

Without too many words, Gu Nanxi could know what she was thinking now, looked at her with Rushui eyes, and chuckled: "What a caring daughter-in-law."

Afterwards, Ji Shenyao poured a glass of water, walked to the window, and stood beside He Jiezhen. She didn't speak at first, but turned her head to look at her expression quietly.

In the end, He Jiezhen turned her head and glanced at her, with a tinge of amusement in her originally calm eyes: "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"Mom." Xin Yao smiled and handed her a glass of water: "Women usually drink more water when they are free. Although you take good care of yourself, drinking more water is more effective than any skin care products."

He Jiezhen took the water glass and put it in her hand, but she didn't drink it, she just looked at her: "What do you want to tell me?"

Sure enough, her mother-in-law doesn't like to beat around the bush, so Xin Yao didn't have to think about how to draw the conversation into the topic anymore, and said directly: "After you met Xiu Li that time, did you already guess that he life experience?"

He Jiezhen nodded.

"Mom, will you blame me?"

"Why should I blame you?"

He Jiezhen held the water glass, and her voice was so soft that only Ji Xinyao could hear it: "Some things have passed for more than [-] years. In the past [-] years, even if you can't let go of things, you can't let go of them." I have let go. Whether Xiu Li resents or accepts the Gu family, stays or leaves, it is his own choice. After all, he is not a child, and the blood shed on his body is the Gu family's blood after all. Since it is a matter of the previous generation, I won't be too cold towards Xiu Li, since he grew up with you, Xinyao, he must be a good boy, don't worry, Mom won't disturb the old man's interest in family reunion."

"If Xiu Li's attitude is too cold and hard in the future, I hope Mom will not take it to heart."

He Jiezhen chuckled: "Good boy, Mom knows your kindness."

Xin Yao didn't say anything more, just looked at He Jiezhen calmly and smiled.

*

Because it was New Year's Eve, and because the old man was too old to stay up late, the New Year's Eve dinner was brought forward three hours and started at 9 pm.

On both sides of the clean and bright long table, none of the members of the Gu family were left behind, and they were all present. The old man seemed to have not been in such a good mood for a long time. He changed into new clothes at night, walked downstairs with a cane, and when he sat down, Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, and at everyone sitting there, he could hardly close his mouth from ear to ear.

He Jiezhen and Gu Yuanheng sat on the right hand of the old man, Gu Yufei sat next to He Jiezhen, and then came down in a circle and sat down one by one.

Gu Nanxi sat on Shen Yao's left, and Xiu Li happened to sit on Shen Yao's right. Looking at the old man's happy smile, Xin Yao also smiled sincerely. 13acv.

"Xiu Li." She turned her head suddenly and looked at Xiu Li who was calm but a little distant and indifferent: "This is the first time since we were sensible that so many relatives will accompany us to spend New Year's Eve together, isn't it?"

When Ji Xiuli's coldly pursed lips heard her words, they finally hooked slightly.

"Xinyao, you and Xiu Li have been siblings for so many years, have you suffered a lot outside?" The old man looked at them with kindness in his eyes: "From now on, the Gu family will be your home, every year We all have a reunion dinner together on New Year's Eve, and we will never go hungry or cold again..."

Listening to the tone of the old man, it should be that after learning of Xiu Li's life experience, he sent someone to check their approximate experiences over the years. Xin Yao paused, feeling the warm big hand of Gu Nanxi beside her gently holding her .

She turned her eyes and looked at him with a smile, seeing the pure distress and concern in his eyes.

At this time, He Jiezhen said: "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. If the child Xinyao hadn't suffered so much, how could she have such a strong and distressing temperament?"

"Yes, yes, Xiu Li is the same, he has a successful career at a young age." The old man nodded, very pleased.

Gu Yuanheng sat next to the old man, didn't say much, just looked at Xiu Li, his eyes couldn't tell whether it was joy or anger or something, as if he was thinking about something.

At this moment, Gu Nanxi and Xiu Li brought food for Xin Yao at the same time, and everyone at the table glanced at them. Gu Nanxi paused slightly with the hand holding the chopsticks, and glanced at Ji Xiuli calmly, Then put the dish in Xin Yao's bowl.Xiu Li also looked at him, but also didn't make a sound, after putting the food in her bowl, he quietly retracted the chopsticks.

"By the way~" Wen Qing who was sitting over there suddenly smiled and said, "I heard that sister Xin Yao and Xiu Li's siblings have always had a good relationship, so have you lived together all these years?"

A seemingly inadvertent question suddenly froze the happy atmosphere on the table. After the old man listened, the hand that had just picked up the chopsticks stopped for a moment.

"If you are siblings, you live together every day, so you must often sleep together? If you are real siblings, it is not surprising, but if you are not related by blood..." Wen Qing blinked and smiled very Curious and innocent.

Ji Xinyao looked at her indifferently, and Ji Xiuli glanced at her expressionlessly.

But the first to get mad was Gu Yufei who had been silent for more than two days.

Yufei put down her chopsticks heavily with a "bang", she was a lot haggard because of what happened two days ago, and she was alone in the room for the past two days, she didn't come out very much, and she didn't say anything, but at this moment her expression was terribly cold Looking at Wen Qing calmly: "Have a good New Year's Eve dinner, where are you talking so much nonsense? It's so hidden to find faults all day long?"

Wen Qing froze, looked at Yu Fei immediately, and said softly, "I don't have any other intentions, it's just that this lonely man and widow are not real siblings, so if there is any ambiguity, accidentally like Yu Fei Like you, Sister Fei, you got pregnant before you got married... It's hard to say..."

Yufei immediately frowned, and before she could speak, the old man suddenly said: "Xiaoqing, grandpa is in a good mood today, please don't talk too much, don't make me unhappy."

After hearing the old man's words, Yu Fei endured it, but she obviously lost her appetite. After putting down the chopsticks, she didn't pick them up again.

Wen Qing bit her lips, she didn't expect that the old man who has always been used to her would not tolerate her at all this time, but directly lectured herself in front of everyone, her complacent expression just now subsided a lot, but Reluctantly, he lowered his head and poked the bowl in front of him with his chopsticks, muttering softly: "What I said is the truth..."

"Xiaoqing!" He Jiezhen also frowned at the side, and reprimanded her in a low voice.

Wen Qing bit her lip hard, breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped talking.

After all, Ji Xinyao didn't say the explanation that just came to her lips, she just sat there calmly and looked at her while everyone was scolding Wen Qing.

At this time, Gu Nanxi took the freshly warmed milk that Wang Ma brought over, poured a cup for Xinyao and put it in front of her, and at the same time said with a light smile: "I'm going to pick you up in F city this time, I just found out that Xiuli has several houses with good environment over there, why didn’t you live in them? Instead, you live alone in the old building near F University?”

Gu Nanxi's calm and calm expression seemed as if Wen Qing's words just now were just a joke.

He looked at Shen Yao with a gentle smile, but with a faint voice, he easily gave a general idea of ​​the answer that everyone doubted but was not easy to ask.

Shen Yao immediately understood, and smiled calmly: "Although Xiu Li and I have always had a good relationship as siblings, we basically lived in the dormitory of the school when we were in school. Later, when I was approaching my internship, I rented that house near F University. I often live there. After Xiuli graduated, I asked him to stay in F University for the postgraduate entrance examination, so he also lived in the dormitory. Later he got a job, but he only lived in the dormitory arranged by the company, and rarely went to my place. So I haven't visited the houses he currently has in City F, nor have I moved there, because I'm used to living alone in University F."

She is telling the truth. Although they are siblings, sometimes it is inevitable that they will live together, but this kind of opportunity is really rare. Even if they live together, they all sleep in separate rooms, so she has nothing to hide. .

It's just that Wen Qing's way of pressing questions just now, even if Ji Xinyao answered, the atmosphere may not improve, but it will only make everyone think that her explanation is actually a cover-up, and they will become suspicious, but Gu Nanxi's four-two The words of dialing a thousand pieces of gold made her answers smooth and logical.

When Xiu Li received Ji Shenyao's smiling gaze, he withdrew his previous indifferent look, and seemed to be in a rare mood, looking at Wen Qing, whose expression was gradually becoming unbearable, with a half-smile: "Miss Wen is so 'innocent', it's rare that she asks such a sharp question, those who know know that you are 'innocent', those who don't know think you are suffering from paranoia of persecution, thinking about these things all the time Dirty stuff."

"You..." Wen Qing opened her mouth, staring at Xiu Li in surprise.

However, Xiu Li didn't even look at her anymore, and directly looked away, and said calmly: "Since Xin Yao suffered a severe frostbite in Ji's house more than seven years ago, she will have a high fever whenever she catches a cold. If I want to take care of her, I have no chance, her personality is too independent, saying that I always get in the way when I am around her."

A sentence that seemed to be half-joking also expressed the harmony and innocence of their sister and brother's relationship. After that, Xiu Li glanced at Gu Nanxi who was smiling lightly.

Ji Xinyao felt that she could rest in peace...

"Yes, Xinyao is one year older than Xiuli, and she has the demeanor of being a big sister. Even if there is no blood relationship, the family relationship between siblings for more than twenty years is true. Xiaoqing, you should stop watching those unnutritious things in the future. TV series, don’t think about it all day long.”

He Jiezhen smoothed things over here, and after that, the dinner table was full of fun again, only Wen Qing seemed to be wronged, and she lowered her head to eat without saying a word.

But the old man smiled and occasionally talked to Gu Yuanheng, while turning his gaze between Ji Xinyao and Xiu Li from time to time, as if he was observing something.

Obviously, the old man listened to this matter, and he didn't seem to have considered this issue at first. After Wen Qing implicitly reminded him a few words at the risk of being criticized by everyone, old man Gu seemed to start to pay attention to it. actions between them.

So, Wen Qing is indeed a ticking time bomb.

Ji Xinyao glanced at Wen Qing, thinking that she really did not bump into the south wall and did not look back, this kind of persistence was enough for Ji Xinyao to admire her.

At this time, Gu Nanxi served a bowl of soup for Shen Yao, and Xin Yao pushed the bowl of soup in front of Xiu Li to let Xiu Li drink first, and then, under the slightly surprised eyes of everyone, she was very affectionate to Gu Nancy said: "Husband, help me get another bowl, let's have a bowl together, I can't drink that much~"

Gu Nanxi smiled: "What? Is your appetite so bad tonight?" Even though he said so, he helped her fill another bowl and placed it in front of her. His gentle voice was full of doting: "You first Drink it, give it to me if you can’t drink it.”

Every move between them is natural and not deliberately concealed. Her concession and concern for her younger brother, and the intimacy with Nancy are all natural. The old man seems to feel that he is overhearted. His expression gradually disappeared, and then he glanced at Wen Qing lightly, as if he was very dissatisfied with her uttering these few words at the New Year's Eve dinner.

"Drink more soup, it's good for your health and good for your children." After that, the old man smiled very kindly.

Although the old man was very happy tonight, he didn't eat much. After the meal, he almost always smiled and watched everyone eat, but his eyes were very satisfied.

Wen Qing never said a word, but occasionally raised her eyes to glance at Ji Xiuli and Ji Xinyao, wondering what she was thinking.

But Gu Nanxi glanced at Wen Qing, his eyes were calm, but he obviously saw Wen Qing's eyes and every move.

Wen Qing immediately turned her gaze away, avoiding the faint but warning look in his eyes, took out a tissue and lowered her head to quietly wipe away the tears of grievance.
