Chapter 306 It’s Not Like He Won’t Come Back

"Hey hey...what are you doing?" Ying Qi followed in.

"Sister Xiaoxi, Sister Xiaoxi is in trouble." Zhang Shu didn't care about Yingqi at all and ran in and shouted.

Gu Xiaoxi swallowed the pastry in her mouth, drank half a glass of water after hearing Zhang Shu's voice, and then walked out of the house.

"What's the hurry? Talk nicely." She took a bite of the apple.

"Sister Xiaoxi, my brother, my brother is missing again." Zhang Shu said with a sad face.

"Leaving so soon?" Gu Xiaoxi muttered.

"What, what do you mean?" Zhang Shu didn't understand.

"He came to me yesterday and said he was going on a long trip for at least three months, but he didn't say where he was going." Gu Xiaoxi told Zhang Shu what he knew.

After hearing this, Zhang Shu collapsed to the ground and started crying.

Gu Xiaoxi was very confused and walked over to ask, "Why are you crying? It's not like he won't come back."

"Sister Xiaoxi, I've always wanted to do business with my brother, but he always leaves me behind every time we go out.

"Tell me, what's wrong with me?" Zhang Shu said sadly.

Gu Xiaoxi actually understood Zhang Shun’s intention. This guy was too naive. He was fine with normal business, but it would be difficult for him to do special business.

"Zhang Shu, you may not like what I say, but this is what I saw." She squatted down and said.

"Sister Xiaoxi, you say." Zhang Shu wiped his tears and looked at Sister Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi said calmly, "You are too simple-minded and not suitable for doing the business that Zhang Shun does.

You should focus on your current business; this is your best choice."

"My brother is in the slave trading business, so I can do this too." Zhang Shu felt that this kind of business could not stop him.

hehe……

Gu Xiaoxi was so angry that she laughed at Zhang Shu's simple words.

"You, what are you laughing at?" Zhang Shu was puzzled.

"I laugh at your naiveté." Gu Xiaoxi shook her head, then stood up and said, "Go back and don't look for your brother. You won't be able to find him unless he shows up."

Zhang Shu felt extremely disappointed after hearing this. After thinking carefully about what Sister Xiaoxi said, he seemed to understand something.

He stood up from the ground and said with gratitude, "Thank you, Sister Xiaoxi. Then, I'll go back."

Um!

Gu Xiaoxi responded and waited for Zhang Shu to take a few steps. Then she remembered something and said, "You don't need to come here to see me anymore. I have something to do and I have to leave."

"Are we going back to Lecheng?" Zhang Shu stopped and turned around.

"Not going back for now. I have other things to do." Gu Xiaoxi shook her head.

Zhang Shu looked at Gu Xiaoxi, then ran out quickly.

Seeing Zhang Shu driving away in his carriage, Ying Qi stepped forward and said, "Miss Xiaoxi, Zhang Shu is gone."

"Ignore him and just take care of your own business." Gu Xiaoxi waved her hand.

After Yingqi finished his report, he went out to order food.

After the operation, Gu Xiaoxi felt a little tired, so she went back to the house and took a nap, waiting for Yingqi to bring back the food.

There were a lot of people in the restaurant today, and Yingqi waited for half an hour before bringing the food back.

Just as Ying Qi entered the door, Zhang Shu's carriage stopped at the gate of the yard again.

Yingqi had just set up the food when there was a knock on the door. He hurried to open it.

Seeing that it was Zhang Shu again, he said impatiently, "Are you done yet?"

"Sister Xiaoxi is leaving soon, so I brought her some things. Please don't think I'm annoying, okay?" Zhang Shu really didn't consider himself an outsider. He walked in as soon as the other person opened the door.

Gu Xiaoxi heard the noise and knew that Yingqi had brought the food back. She opened the door and walked out.

As a result, when I went out, I saw Zhang Shu asking people to move boxes, which were piled up in the yard.

"Zhang Shu, didn't you leave? Why are you back?" Gu Xiaoxi asked in confusion.

"Sister Xiaoxi, you have helped us so much, I can't just not show any appreciation. These are the gifts I bring back for you, please don't despise them." Zhang Shu said as he arranged for his men to put the things down.

Gu Xiaoxi had to admit that Zhang Shu was very good at dealing with people. She smiled with satisfaction and said, "Thank you very much. I'll ask Ying Qi to order a table of food. Let's eat before we leave!"

"Okay!" Zhang Shu agreed very readily.

Yingqi couldn't help but pout and went to the room to call the other brothers to come over for dinner.

After lunch, Gu Xiaoxi sent Zhang Shu out of the yard, and Zhang Shu reluctantly got on the carriage.

"Sister Xiaoxi, after I finish dealing with the things at home, I will go over there to see you and your aunt." Zhang Shu waved his hand in the carriage.

"Okay!" Gu Xiaoxi replied.

Only after Zhang Shu's carriage gradually disappeared from the road did she turn around and return to the yard.

…

In the next few days, Ye Lixuan would go out and be busy during the day, while Gu Xiaoxi would observe the wound on Gu Mi's face.

She originally planned to leave the next day, but later found out that Gu Mi had some skin problems, so she waited for a few days.

She finally took the cloth off Gumi's face and felt relieved after confirming that there was nothing wrong.

During dinner in the evening, Gu Xiaoxi told Ye Lixuan that she was leaving the next day.

"Don't you want to consider it?" Ye Lixuan's face was full of worry.

"When did you become so naive?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.

Ye Lixuan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, so he simply closed it.

Gu Xiaoxi didn't say anything else. After dinner, everyone else went back to their rooms early in tacit understanding, and the two of them stayed in the main room to talk.

"I, I don't know what to say? But, I'm really worried about you." Ye Lixuan looked at Gu Xiaoxi affectionately.

Gu Xiaoxi yawned loudly and said impatiently, "If you don't know, then don't tell me. It's not a matter of life and death. Besides, I never do anything I'm not sure of."

"Then why are you here if nothing happened to you?" Ye Lixuan asked back.

"That's our sect's business and has nothing to do with the mission." After saying this, Gu Xiaoxi turned around and walked out. There were some past events that she didn't want to recall, and she really didn't want to recall them.

Ye Lixuan could hear the sadness in Gu Xiaoxi's tone, walked to the door, but did not follow.

Gu Xiaoxi did not return to the room, but instructed Ying Si to move the things Zhang Shu sent back home when he was done.

"Don't worry, girl. I will definitely send you home." Ying Si replied.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll go home directly after I finish my work." Gu Xiaoxi patted Ying Si and went back to the house to sleep.

If she hadn't been afraid that Ye Lixuan would worry too much about her, she would have left at night.

However, before dawn the next day, she opened the yard door and walked out without saying goodbye to Ye Lixuan.

She led her horse to the city gate, ate something there, and then rode away at full speed when the city gate opened.

As soon as Gu Xiaoxi walked out of the door, Ye Lixuan opened it.

Why……

This woman is sometimes so independent that it's a little scary.

"Master, how about I follow you?" Ying Si stepped forward and said.
