Su Xiao smiled faintly, broke free from Gu Tingjiang's hand, and introduced herself, "Mr. Gu Tingjiang, my name is Su Xiaoxiao, not Lulu as you say. You have mistaken me for someone else."
Su Xiao smiled, revealing her dimples.
Gu Tingjiang suddenly realized what was happening and came to his senses. The way she had stood there quietly just now really resembled his wife when she was young.
However, with the addition of dimples, the original five-tenths resemblance immediately dropped to two-tenths. Two-tenths similarity... looking at it this way, could it be that he was just seeing things?
"I'm sorry, I didn't scare you, did I?" Gu Tingjiang felt apologetic and quickly thanked him to make amends.
Old Master Gu was also shaken by Gu Tingjiang's words, feeling as if his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys had been on a roller coaster, leaving him dizzy.
"It's okay." Su Xiao took a small step back, creating some distance between them; she felt a little uncomfortable...
Seeing this, Gu Tingjiang also took a step back and led her into the house, saying, "Comrade Su, please come in and sit down."
Seeing this, Su Xiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow them inside.
However, she didn't go to the dining table. After entering, she went straight to the point, "Comrade Gu Tingjiang, I came here on someone's behalf. Ms. Qin Huifang asked me to give you this and pass on a message: please save your son."
When Grandpa Gu and Gu Tingsheng heard Qin Huifang's name, their faces fell, their expressions bewildered. When they heard that she was asking them to save their son, Gu Tingjiang looked at Su Xiao in surprise, "What do you mean? Where did I get a son?"
Su Xiao shrugged. "I don't know. I'm just a messenger. All I know is that Ms. Qin Huifang's son, Gu Zhiguo, has been missing for three days. If you have any other questions, you can go to Ms. Qin Huifang yourself to ask her."
Gu Tingjiang held the jade pendant in his hand, and there was no reaction for a long time.
Suddenly, Gu Tingjiang's face turned ashen, as if he had eaten excrement.
He seemed to be remembering something, but it was definitely not a pleasant experience.
"I've delivered my message, so I'll be going now." Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Su Xiao didn't plan to stay any longer. To be honest, she was very hungry after wandering around all morning and just wanted to go home for dinner as soon as possible.
"Wait a minute." Gu Tingjiang called out to her, still unwilling to give up, "What is your relationship with Qin Huifang?"
"Me?" Su Xiao knew that if she didn't explain clearly today, the other party would probably investigate, so she told the truth, "I have absolutely no relation to Qin Huifang. I'm from Nancheng, and I just got into university this year. I came to Kyoto to study. I rented a courtyard house and became neighbors with Ms. Qin... that's all."
As Su Xiao spoke, her gaze was calm and impeccable.
Gu Tingjiang was somewhat disappointed, but he quickly cheered himself up. After more than ten years, although it wasn't the result he wanted most, it was still a clue.
"Come and eat, everyone. It's better to get things done when you're full." After a brief moment of excitement and distraction, Old Master Gu quickly regained his composure and beckoned to Su Xiao. "Girl, you come and eat too. Guests are guests. If you come at noon and I don't offer you a meal, do you want others to point fingers at me and yell at you? If you don't eat this meal today, don't even think about leaving my house."
Su Xiao's lips twitched, and she lowered her head to cover her mouth and coughed lightly. This old man was clearly trying to be kind, so how could he make him sound like that? It was so annoying.
"Yes, yes, hurry up and eat. I'll go back with you in a bit."
Having received news of that woman, he naturally wanted to meet her. As for the son she mentioned, a hint of disgust flashed across Gu Tingjiang's eyes.
